Beijing Outer City, Xuannanfang.

An inconspicuous mule cart rumbled through the bustling streets of Beijing's outer city and turned into an alley near Luomashi Street.

This alley is full of shops selling mules, horses, cattle and sheep. They sell livestock brought from abroad. These days, due to the fierce fighting outside the country, all the exchanges along the Great Wall are closed, so most of the shops here are closed.

Zhang. Even if the shops in front of them are still open, they are all very bleak. There are no good products, and of course there are no customers. But since the shop is open, the waiter has to greet the customers. So as soon as the two mule carts entered the alley,

Immediately, some waiters from several shops that were still open came to greet them. However, they left with hope and returned disappointed. The passengers on the mule cart ignored anyone and went straight to the end of the alley.

and left with the business name "Mules, Horses, Cattle and Sheep Shop" plaque.

The Wang Dengku Mule, Horse, Cattle and Sheep Shop is a well-known old shop in Luoma City. Because this old shop has a very reliable supply of goods in Zhangjiakou, it still has some goods on hand during this period, and its business is also booming.

Better than others.

The mule cart currently visiting Wang Deng Ku’s Mule, Horse, Cattle and Sheep Shop was obviously carrying a big customer. When it stopped near the front of Wang Deng Ku’s shop, he saw a group of clerks and stewards trotting out to greet them. Finally, they saw the owner of Wang Deng Ku’s shop.

Dong Weng, Boss Wang, who is famous as "Wang Dengku" as a businessman, also strode out to welcome him.

At this time, the sky was getting dark, and the driver opened the curtain of the car. Two people walked out. The first one came out was a businessman in rich clothes, with a smile on his face. He was Fan Yongdou, the old boss of the Fan family in Zhangjiakou.

After Fan Yongdou got off the mule cart, he did not greet Wang Denku immediately. Instead, he turned around and invited a great monk out of the mule cart like a filial son serving his father.

This monk was none other than Fan Wencheng, the first disciple of Hou Jin Dynasty.

Fan Wencheng really has a connection with Buddha. Last time he played a lama, this time he played a monk. He also had a scar on his head, and his gestures gave him a bit more of the aura of an eminent monk.

Wang Dengku seemed to have gotten to know Fan Wencheng. When he saw him getting out of the mule cart, he immediately clasped his hands and bowed down. He was so pious!

Fan Wencheng's brows were furrowed, and you could tell at a glance that he was in a bad mood. The reason for his bad mood was that he had no food to eat! Of course it wasn't that Fan Wencheng, the great monk Fan, had no food to eat... He was Huang Taiji's slave,

There was no way he could get hungry. Moreover, he sent foreign missions disguised as monks to the Ming Dynasty to contact profiteers such as Fan Yongdou and Wang Dengku. The profiteers were all rich, so how could they feed Fan Wencheng? But Fan Wencheng was a slave.

After eating, thousands of slaves outside the mouth and customs are still not full.

It turns out that drought and war in the area outside the mouth (the Mongolian tribes outside the mouth are fighting) caused a grain harvest failure, and a spring famine broke out this spring. In the original history, because Yuan Chonghuan sold grain to the thirty-six tribes of Karaqin,

Helped the Mongolians outside the mouth and the Manchus in Liaodong to overcome difficulties.

But this time the situation was different. Zhu Youjian issued strict decrees in March, April and May - not to sell grain to Mongolia and Jianzhou... nor to recruit Karaqin from outside his mouth.

Mongolia and Inner Khalkha Mongolia!

If they want to vote for Jianzhou, they can vote for it, but they can't sell grain. Zhu Youjian certainly knows that no matter how much grain the Ming Dynasty sells or sends to the Mongols, they will still surrender to the Donglu when they are full, and they will still take the Donglu to the entrance.

Burn and kill! Because the Ming Dynasty provided food, Donglu killed people!

The kindness of giving food cannot be worth the threat of death!

Moreover, the Karaqin Mongolia and the Inner Kalkha Mongolia could get a lot of spoils by following the Donglu entrance, so why not?

Therefore, Zhu Youjian was determined to embargo this time. In order to implement the "grain embargo" policy, he also sent his crony Cao Huachun to Shanhaiguan and Ningyuan to supervise the closure of mutual markets. He also sent an order to Yuan Ke, who was in charge of the food route of the Ping Liao Army (Dongjiang Army).

Order, let him block Mao Wenlong's military rations... It's not that he doesn't believe in Mao Wenlong, but that he doesn't believe in Mao Wenlong's good grandchildren.

In short, Zhu Youjian is determined to starve Huang Taiji to death this time!

However, Huang Taiji could not starve to death. Not only did he not starve to death, he did not even starve to death. Moreover, none of the Eight Banners soldiers and family members under Huang Taiji starved to death. Those who starved to death were all Baoyi slaves, Karaqin, and Neikalkha.

The Mongols of other tribes.

Huang Taiji, the queen of Jin Tiancong Khan, could not completely ignore the life and death of his slaves, so he asked Fan Wencheng to burn a few scars on his head and go to the Ming Dynasty to find ways to buy food.

Fan Wencheng, a slave, approached his own boss Fan Yongdou again, and Fan Yongdou worked very hard, so he took him to Beijing to find a way out. There was a war going on in Datong Town next door in Zhangjiakou, so the border wall was under martial law! Although it was not strict.

Fan Wencheng can't get in, but tens of thousands of stones of food can't get out. Moreover, Hou Shilu, the headquarter of Xuanfu, has taken office as a new official, and the three fires haven't been burned out yet, so of course there is no way out.

So Fan Yongdou had no choice but to take Fan Wencheng to Beijing to find out, and even found his good friend Wang Dengku. Today, Fan Yongdou accompanied Fan Wencheng to visit the back doors of several martial arts stores, but for some reason, they were all rejected.

It’s not that they didn’t help, it’s that they didn’t even see anyone!

What on earth is going on? Do these dandies know something? Beijing is the home of Jinyiwei!

Fan Wencheng was worried and followed Fan Yongdou into Wang Denku's shop. He did not take a seat in the lobby in front of the front door, but was invited all the way into the inner hall. Once inside, Fan Wencheng realized that something was wrong. The inner hall of Nuo Da

Among them, there was not a single messenger, and no one served tea. I don’t know where the waiter from Wang Dengku’s shop had gone. There were three people, Fan Wencheng, Fan Yongdou, and Wang Dengku in the hall.

What's going on? Fan Wencheng sees that the atmosphere is not right! A group of uniformed guards won't rush out in a while, right?

When he was nervous, Wang Dengku suddenly came up to him mysteriously and bowed, "Master, I wish you the best of luck!"

Dao Xi? Fan Wencheng was not sure, "Shopkeeper Wang, have you bought the way to get the grain out of the customs?"

"No, no," Wang Dengku said with a smile, "something big has happened! The little emperor who led the expedition himself was defeated in Datong... he was probably captured by Hutu Dun Khan! The Ming Dynasty is coming to an end!

"

"What? What did you say?" Fan Wencheng couldn't believe his ears.

Wang Dengku had already taken out an envelope and handed it to Fan Wencheng with both hands, "Master, you can read it for yourself... This is a memorial jointly written by the Daiwang of Datong City and the eight princes of the Daiwang Palace to the imperial court.

Transcript of.”

It turns out that the memorial that deceived King Dai and the eight princes of Datong was sent to Beijing!

Needless to say, this false news immediately caused an uproar in the upper echelons of Beijing... The sky was about to fall! Fan Wencheng and Fan Yongdou were rejected for a day because of this incident.

Fan Wencheng quickly took the envelope, pulled out the letter paper inside, and read it hurriedly. The more he read, the more excited he became, and he was shaking with excitement.

"Is this news reliable?" Fan Wencheng asked.

"Reliable," Wang Denku said with a smile, "Widow Xu brought this news from the palace, it can't be wrong!"

"Who is Widow Xu?" Fan Wencheng asked.

"She is the eldest daughter-in-law of the Bai family in Huaiyan..." Fan Yongdou said with a smile, "She is a woman with sharp eyes and hands. All Shanxi merchants in the capital are headed by her. If she really got this memorial copy, then

You can’t be wrong! Master, it seems that the Ming Dynasty is about to run out of energy... We, the Kingdom of Jin, will soon take over the Central Plains!"

Wang Dengku on the side reminded: "Widow Xu also said that Jizhen and Xuanfu will soon be under martial law... By then no one will be able to leave!"

Fan Wencheng thought: If martial law is really enforced in Jizhen and Xuanfu, then it means that what is said in this memorial copy is true!
Chapter completed!
