Don't panic when traveling through the late Ming Dynasty, just go to Liangjian and buy a machin

Actually.

Those aristocratic families and various interest groups.

Deep down in their hearts, they knew exactly what kind of person Emperor Chongzhen was!

If Emperor Chongzhen had absolute military support.

Then he would most likely be like Mao Wenlong, ruthlessly exterminating the aristocratic families and various interest groups.

Therefore.

These aristocratic families and interest groups have been firmly implementing their escape plans.

I never planned to stay in Jiaozhi for long.

Seeing that the new season's grain was about to be harvested, they planned to flee from here immediately after the harvest.

These aristocratic families and interest groups, relying on their strong financial resources, have already successfully taken control of a large number of ships and crew members.

Not only that, more than half of the newly built ships were also secretly controlled by them.

So, when the grain harvest was over.

The aristocratic families and interest groups quickly exerted their influence to the utmost, and all the hidden forces were put into action.

Start digging up the roots of the Ming Dynasty right away...

……

When Emperor Chongzhen received the news.

His face became extremely gloomy, and the murderous aura on his body was even more terrifying.

Because the newly built granary should have been filled with mountains of full-grained grain.

But now, inexplicably, many large warehouses have become empty!

What’s worse, the grain that had not yet been stored also suffered “losses”, resulting in a large amount of grain disappearing without a trace.

After reading the information.

An uncontrollable rage surged in the heart of Emperor Chongzhen, and he almost vomited blood.

Food is the lifeblood of the country!

Without food, people will face hunger and death, the army will lose its combat effectiveness, and everything will fall into chaos.

Because Emperor Chongzhen knew this very well, he gave the order without hesitation.

First, he ordered the entire Eastern Depot and the Embroidered Uniform Guard to launch a comprehensive investigation.

These elite spy agencies must act quickly, go deep into every corner, and collect all clues and intelligence related to the missing food...

At the same time, Emperor Chongzhen sent two capable generals, Yuan Chonghuan and Shi Kefa, to lead a large army to conduct a thorough inspection of the sea coastline.

They would conduct a thorough search of the coastal areas, including ports, fishing villages, caves and any other places where food might be hidden.

Every inch of land must not be missed and must be carefully checked to ensure that the lost food is recovered.

If it weren't for the lack of sufficient sea vessels.

Emperor Chongzhen even planned to blockade the entire coastline.

This will effectively stop the outflow of food and prevent similar incidents from happening again.

These things are easier said than done.

Emperor Chongzhen was extremely anxious.

He understood that time was running out and a solution had to be found quickly.

He is determined to protect the country's food security, maintain social stability and people's livelihoods at all costs.

Otherwise, the common people who followed them across thousands of mountains and rivers and finally arrived in Jiaozhi would be in trouble.

I'm afraid they'll start to rise up again...

……

The speed of message transmission of the factory guards.

I was already a beat slower than others.

The aristocratic families and various interest groups had already foreseen this situation, so how could they just sit there and wait for death?

People have already thought of a solution...

This was where the Ming Dynasty court was located at that time.

This is what later generations called the Hanoi area.

These aristocratic families and interest groups, after successfully obtaining food.

Without delay, large quantities of food and supplies were immediately transported to the south by both land and sea.

Their destination was the Da Nang area in later generations.

Not only that, the core members of those aristocratic families and interest groups also fled to the south.

Moreover, they are doing it under the banner of land reclamation.

Let other family members and a large number of people go to the area south of Hanoi in advance.

And many of them are known to have been officials for thousands of years.

They also had various excuses and reasons and had already moved south from the estuary area in advance.

They had already prepared for a collective escape...

……

So after Emperor Chongzhen issued the order.

All the personnel from the Eastern Depot and the Embroidered Uniform Guard were mobilized, but in the end they didn't gain much.

Just caught some small shrimps.

The real mastermind behind this has already run away.

Who were the people caught?

They were all grassroots officials who were bribed and exploited, as well as middle and lower-level officers and soldiers.

Otherwise, no matter how capable those aristocratic families are, what can they do?

It is also impossible to transport large amounts of supplies out quietly.

That’s not all!

Even many people in the Eastern Depot and the Embroidered Uniform Guard were bribed.

So a lot of information was kept secret.

It makes the aristocratic families and various interest groups.

There is enough time to do all this...

After Emperor Chongzhen learned the news.

He was so angry that he vomited blood on the spot, then fell headfirst and fell into a coma!

After being treated by the imperial physician, Emperor Chongzhen woke up after being in a coma for most of the day.

When Emperor Chongzhen woke up, he was like an angry lion.

I wish I could kill all the corrupt officials.

Crush all the aristocratic families and various interest groups into pieces.

Only in this way can he relieve the hatred in his heart!

But he just can't kill people at will.

Because they are very short of manpower now.

We could only kill a few to serve as a warning to others.

Capture the remaining people and force them to mine, build roads or farm.

But those aristocratic families and interest groups.

Emperor Chongzhen would not let them go either.

So Emperor Chongzhen summoned his trusted ministers again.

Find a way to deal with those aristocratic families...
