Chapter 302 A mixed bag

In a secret room in the backyard of a grain store in the capital, there were also more than a dozen people plotting, and their goals seemed to be different from those of the officials causing trouble.

The leader is a scholar of medium build. Although he wears Mingren's clothes, his tone of voice and what he does are different from Mingren's.

His cold eyes swept across everyone's faces and said:

"Everyone, according to the information provided by our intelligence personnel, many officials of the Ming Dynasty and servants of noble houses have been mixed into the ranks of refugees and green skins.

It seems that they are preparing to cause a big riot in the capital. The purpose of these officials is obvious, which is to increase the pressure on the Ming Emperor and force the emperor to abolish the prince to prevent the New Deal from continuing to be implemented.

Judging from the fact that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty did not dare to leave the Qing Palace and the crown prince disappeared, it seems that the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty have won a victory, which is also a huge benefit to us.

Later today, send out more brothers under your command. It is best to make the situation more chaotic and let us fish in troubled waters.

In addition, according to reliable information, there is only one hundred households stationed in the Bingzhan Bureau, so it should be easy to get it when they are not prepared. Remember, the manufacturing process of the Huangming rifle must be obtained at all costs.

Everyone, please pay attention. I am repeating that this matter can only succeed but not fail. Once someone is caught, he must end it immediately and his identity must not be exposed.

In order to disrupt the capital of the Ming Dynasty to the greatest extent, the eight major Shanxi merchants wanted to unite all the grain stores in the capital to close down and spread the news of the extreme shortage of food.

After the people heard the news about the food shortage, they would definitely panic buying food. This behavior would inevitably aggravate the unrest in the capital of the Ming Dynasty and be conducive to our actions.

In order to implement this plan perfectly, you must use all your connections to temporarily close all grain stores. If any grain store dares to open without permission, set it on fire..."

After the middle-aged scholar said this, everyone hurriedly bowed and saluted:

"Don't worry, Mr. Ning, my subordinates will definitely act according to your plan and will never let the master down!"

The middle-aged man nodded slightly and waved to his subordinates:

"Everyone go and get busy. The Fan family must make a foolproof plan. Once they succeed, they must quickly transport the things out of the customs!"

"yes"

This person is none other than the great traitor Ning Wanwo, who was previously favored by Huang Taiji, but at this time his limelight has been overshadowed by another great traitor Fan Wencheng.

Jian Nu is very famous for its good use of subtlety. It can be said that they developed spies in various places in the Ming Dynasty. Jian Nu's many attacks on the city were also accomplished through spies inciting rebels to rebel against the defenders, both internally and externally.

After Emperor Chongzhen was deceived by his officials into giving up his martial arts skills, Huang Taiji and Dorgon were able to play with blood droplets like a fish in water.

Not long after Zhu Cihong started his reforms, the news reached Shengjing. Huang Taiji was overjoyed when he heard the news. He knew that there would be chaos within the Ming Dynasty.

Secretly ordering Jiannu to stir up trouble in the capital, he immediately sent Ning Wanwo to enter the pass. With the help of the eight imperial merchants, Ning Wanwo easily sneaked into the capital.

After learning about the current situation in the capital of the Ming Dynasty, Huang Taiji immediately gave instructions and ordered Ning Wanwo to do everything possible to obtain the manufacturing technology of Huangming rifles from the Ming Dynasty War Bureau.

The Jiannu had cannon-casting and gun-making craftsmen, all of whom were brought over by Kong Youde when he surrendered. The quality of the guns they built was much better than that of the corrupt guard craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty, and their barrels rarely exploded.

The last time Jiannu entered the customs and was defeated, his entire army was wiped out. Huang Taiji already knew that it was the Huangming rifle that was responsible.

Although Jian Nu is a group of savages, Huang Taiji is good at learning from others. As long as he feels that the other party's tactics and weapons are better than Jian Nu, he will immediately order his subordinates to learn.

Historically, during the Battle of Songjin, the quantity and quality of Jiannu's artillery had exceeded that of the Ming army. It was not all about cold weapons that defeated the Ming army.

As expected by Ning Wan and I, a large number of refugees and green skins began to gather on the streets of the capital after lunch. In fact, they were mostly servants of some officials pretending to be servants.

But now, Jin Yiwei has long returned to its former glory. The officials think they are smart, but in fact, every move of many people is under the surveillance of Jin Yiwei's plainclothes.

Realizing that something was wrong, Jinyiwei immediately reported the situation to his superiors. Li Ruolian handed over the safety of Qianqing Palace to Gao Wencai and General Dahan. He immediately rushed to the Yongwei camp to discuss with Huang Degong and Zhang Shize.

Seeing Li Ruolian's arrival, Huang Degong and Zhang Shize immediately guessed that something was going on and immediately invited Li Ruolian to the Chinese army's tent.

The situation was urgent, and Li Ruolian did not beat around the bush. He held up his hands and said:

"Two generals, the current situation in the capital is very complicated. Not only are officials and servants gathering there, but also some common people who don't know the truth are involved. Even the slaves outside Guan Guan and others want to take advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble.

There are five thousand Jinyi Guards and one thousand people are left to guard the imperial city. The rest of the Jinyi Guards have basically been sent out, but the number of personnel is far from enough. Now two generals must send troops, how do you think we can arrange it?"

Huang Degong and Zou Zou frowned and said:

"Tongzhou is fine for the time being. If we don't bring Sun Yingyuan's team back, whoever dares to cause chaos will have his head chopped off immediately!"

Zhang Shize shook his head:

"No, in His Highness's absence, other troops must not be mobilized at will. Our two teams of nearly 40,000 troops have nothing to worry about. In the opinion of this governor, we immediately divide the troops.

They were all divided into groups of 200 people and dispersed to some important yamen and streets, such as the Household Department, the Imperial City, and some loyal ministers who were loyal to the court and did not want to join the dog officials.

Before His Highness returns to the capital, we must do our best to protect the personal and property safety of the reformists, and we must not let the officials who stand for His Highness suffer a huge blow."

Regarding Zhang Shize's suggestion, both Li Ruolian and Huang Degong nodded in agreement:

"Okay, just follow the little Duke's suggestion, and we'll split up immediately."

Li Ruolian suddenly remembered something and asked hurriedly:

"Two generals, how many troops are stationed in the military battle bureau?"

When it came to the number of troops stationed in the Bingzhan Bureau, Huang Degong knew very well and said hurriedly:

"There are hundreds of households stationed in the Military War Bureau, and there are still people who dare to challenge the Military War Bureau. Aren't they afraid that His Highness will destroy the nine tribes?"

Li Ruolian shook his head:

"Since you dare to launch a military campaign, you won't have to worry about being exterminated. One hundred households will definitely not be enough for such a large military campaign. The craftsmen and skills inside are valuable. For safety reasons, we will send five hundred people there."

Li Ruolian attached great importance to the military situation, so of course Huang Degong did not dare to slack off. If something happened to the military situation, where would the National Defense Army's ammunition be supplied? He stood up and patted Li Ruolian on the shoulder and said:

"Well, Mr. Li, please relax, Lao Huang will personally take people over to protect the military situation!"

Of course it would be best for Huang Degong to personally lead the troops to protect the military situation, but the city defense of the capital still needs people to guard it.

The capital was too big, and none of them felt that there was a shortage of manpower when building slaves. At this time, the three of them felt the shortage of manpower for the first time.

Originally, the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Department could enforce public security, but this time all the officials above them participated in the protest, and the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Department was suspended.

The three of them knew that once His Highness returned to the capital, there would be a wave of bloodshed, but they had to ensure the safety of the capital and the princelings before the crown prince came back. Like the Ming Dynasty, the prosperous age began with the prince supervising the country, please collect it: (https://www.myxls.net)
