My Ming Dynasty, I have the final say

Chapter 68 Rat in the Dark
A man's upper body was covered with a sack, and two men carried him one behind the other into a remote courtyard in Haizhou Acropolis.

"Who are you? You are so impatient that you dare to kidnap me!"

The sack on this man's head had just been removed. He looked at the people in the room who were obviously dressed as Han people and shouted.

"I'm the Commander-in-Chief of the Royal Guards, Luo Sigong."

Wearing a python robe and holding an embroidered spring knife in his hand, Luo Sigong looked at the person in front of him with a cold expression.

"Tell me, where did the food you withheld from the guard go?"

"Wei Suo Liang? What Wei Suo Liang? I don't have it. I didn't deduct the Wei Suo grain."

Zhao Yonglin was stunned for a moment when he heard this, but then he spoke harshly.

"How about you being a royal guard? Don't even think about slandering me."

"slander?"

Hearing this, Luo Sigong stepped forward and stared at the other party.

"Do you think I would 'invite' you here without evidence?"

"You are a hundred households in Guchengtun, and the Weisuo fields there have basically become your family's private fields. Do you think I am blind? Can't you see it?"

"A few days ago, Jinyiwei sneaked into Gucheng Village in the dark and found that outside the village, there was only enough food for 500 people for three months. You know, according to the guard's account book, Gucheng Village has [-] acres of land. "

"me."

Zhao Yonglin immediately panicked when he heard that his boss had been touched by Jin Yiwei.

"Besides, don't think that I don't know that you sold the grain. My people saw the other party hand over the money to you the night before yesterday."

"Gollum."

Zhao Yonglin swallowed when he heard this.

It’s over.

"I said, can you let me live?"

Looking at Luo Sigong in front of him, Zhao Yonglin decided to give it one last try.

"At least let my wife and children go."

"You are dead, but I can make the decision to let your wife and children become refugees. Whether they can survive or not depends on their fate."

"I said, I said."

Zhao Yonglin heard this and said quickly.

"I sold all the grain produced in the Weisuo fields to the Zhang family in the north of the city."

"The Zhang family?"

Hearing this, Luo Sigong couldn't help but tilted his head.

"That Zhang family?"

"The Zhang family is the largest in Liaoyang."

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Luo Sigong narrowed his eyes.

Didn't Gao Huai bring trouble to this family 20 years ago?

“What do they buy grain for?”

"I don't know about this. I only know that they say they collect all grains, and the price is [-]% higher than the market price."

"is it?"

Hearing this, Luo Sigong squinted his eyes and couldn't tell what he was thinking.

"and."

"And what?"

"And I heard that they secretly purchase weapons, armor, and even firearms."

"Acquisition of weapons, armor, or even firearms?"

Upon hearing the news, Luo Sigong smiled, knowing that he was staring at the right person.

"Hmph, Zhang family."

Luo Sigong left the room with a smile, excitement written all over his face.

When he arrived at the next room, his confidant Wang Kai was already waiting for him here.

"Everyone else has settled down?"

"Coming back to the commander, we have been walking back for a while, and news came from Lu Chuan that he has taken a dozen brothers to live outside a street in Shenyang Jinglue Mansion." "What else?"

"Wang Yu and the others borrowed the route of Jintong Trading Company, pretending to be horse buyers, and have arrived in Ningyuan."

"I have also explored the city today and found out some interesting news."

After the Battle of Sarhu, the entire Liaodong was in chaos.

In Liaoyang City, there are all kinds of people, including common people, administrators, Liao people, Han children, Tatars, and Haixi Jurchens.

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Luo Sigong smiled and said.

"Is there any more interesting news than hundreds of households in the ancient city reselling food from the guards?"

"The little spy heard that there was news from Jiannu that one stone of grain would be paid for ten taels of silver, as long as it was transported to the vicinity of Weining Camp."

"Transported to near Weining Camp?"

Hearing this, Luo Sigong immediately took out the map he had brought with him and started to read it.

"According to the report to the imperial court."

"The Weining Camp is in the hands of the Ming Dynasty. The guard is Zhao Kailai, who was the original general of the Liaodong Guards Station. Going east along the Taizi River is Songshukou. After passing Weizikou, it is Crow Falcon Pass."

"Nowadays, Crow Falcon is in the hands of Jiannu, and the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty are concentrated in Qinghe Fort."

"In the Battle of Sarhu, the general Zhao Menglin died in the battle, and all his servants returned to his grandnephew Zhao Lejiao, who is now guarding Qinghe Fort. Zhao Lejiao is from Shanxi, and he has a blood feud with the Donglu, so he has no reason to ally with the prisoners. "

"The problem is with Weining Camp, and since Jiannu sent the news and asked him to be sent to the vicinity of Weining Camp, it means that the entire Weining Camp is unreliable."

Luo Sigong came to this conclusion after clicking his finger on the map.

When it comes to politics, he is really not good at it. He is always on tenterhooks in the court all day long.

But when it comes to battlefield analysis, none of the ten individuals in the court can compare to him.

You must know that he participated in the Wanli Korean War and made great contributions on the battlefield before finally stepping into the position of commander of the Jinyi Guards.

"What do you mean, sir?"

"Today's Liaodong is in chaos, and there are refugees everywhere. It's such a big thing to transport food without anyone to escort it."

"Send someone to keep an eye on them and see who is recruiting people in the city. Whether they are looking for servants to guard the courtyard or people who want to run business and pass customs, I will keep an eye on them."

"There must be a big fish behind this."

And just when Luo Sigong was thinking about how to catch fish, the north of the city.

"Is this guy named Zhang reliable? If you ask him to collect grain, he will act like a thief."

At this time, there were three people in the room sharing food around a roasted leg of lamb.

"That man is a Han who has been with us for a few years. This time the Great Khan asked him to sneak back to buy grain. After that, he was asked to join Zhenghuang Banner. He is working hard."

The person who is obviously the leader, although he is also dressed as a Jurchen, can eat meat in this city without hesitation.

Although he is a Jianzhou Jurchen, in name, he is a Yehe Jurchen.

They are all Jurchens, so it is difficult to tell them apart, not to mention that he is a wealthy person in this city. Many people can testify that he belongs to the Yehe tribe who killed Chief Buyangu for the Ming Dynasty.

"Be careful. Since the bear arrived in Liaodong, the situation has become worse and worse for us."

Another person said while drinking.

"I went back secretly a few days ago and heard that this year, except for the bannermen, many people don't have enough food."

"Let's grab their food for the winter."

The leader heard this and sneered.

"The Han people are cowards who only know how to farm. They were born to be slaves to our noble Jurchens."

"Yes."

"When the Great Khan takes Liaodong next year, I will definitely have ten slaves to farm the land for me, and I will never go hungry again."

"You two, stop dreaming here."

Hearing this, the leader chuckled.

"You haven't made any achievements, but you still want slaves. Just dream."

"When we came here, Niu Lu'er really said that for every hundred stones of food he bought, he would give us a coated Aha."

"Yes."
