Qingzhou Prefecture.

The fan of Dongchang has been secretly following Aniu for a long time.

Judging from all the signs, they have basically concluded that A Niu is a detailed work by Tartars.

They have been tolerant and not sending them out just to prevent them from being alerted.

And now they really couldn't bear it because A Niu actually wanted to get into the government office to inquire about information.

This is something that Dongchangzi absolutely cannot tolerate.

If this Tartar master was really allowed to pry the news away from their eyes, wouldn’t it be that Tai Sui’s heads beating up? They wouldn’t be ashamed of being ridiculed by the group of dogs from the Military Intelligence Department of the Inner Factory?

So it cannot be tolerated!

They acted very quickly, and A Niu was subdued without any time to react.

After that, they began to interrogate A Niu, hoping to get some useful information from him.

But the result is disappointing.

Dongchang's ability is naturally excellent, but no matter how they torture them, Aniu just doesn't say what they want.

The people from Dongchang were a little frustrated, and a clue was broken.

Just when all work was at a standstill, a fan came up with a way to make a mess.

He promised A Niu that he would let him go as long as he said useful information.

A Niu was really moved.

He didn't want to die, he didn't want to die like a wild dog in such a confusion.

Since there is hope for survival, he must seize it as much as possible even if it is very slim.

He said everything he knew.

He revealed to the Dongchang's episode that there are other detailed works in Qingzhou, with no less than fifty people.

Although he didn't know who these people were, he was sure that they were all pretending to be disaster victims.

The Dongchang Manzi can follow this clue and continue to check it out, and clues will be found.

The Dongchang men were naturally overjoyed. While they ordered people to take A Niu up, one of them once again targeted the victims.

According to A Niu, these people would not be too old, otherwise they would not have come to Shandong alive.

This has narrowed the scope a lot.

The Dongchang Fanzi investigated day and night and finally set his target among 500 people.

The remaining dozens of Tartars must be among these five hundred people.

The next work is to focus on these 500 people, and immediately record any strange things.

Judging from various signs, many of them are indeed very suspicious, but more people are not very different from ordinary victims.

After more than three days of squatting observation, Dongchang Anime narrowed the scope to one hundred people.

These hundred people are very suspicious, and each feature is in line with A Niu's detailed description.

The Dongchang Manzi decided to wait for them to reveal his strength like he was arresting A Niu.

It turns out that even the best hidden work will eventually reveal flaws.

These Tartars were arrested one after another, and the Dongchang mandarin interrogated them one by one, and received a lot of useful information.

It turned out that the main purpose of their visit to Qingzhou this time was to get some potatoes and go back to plant sweet potatoes.

The north of the Tartars had reached the point where the land was barren and the change of sons ate each other.

If the situation continues, it is very likely that the Ming army will not have to fight the Northern Expedition in the end, and the Tatars will have civil unrest.

So Dorgon pinned his hopes on potatoes and sweet potatoes, hoping that this high-yield crop that had just been promoted to grow in the Ming Dynasty could bring the Qing Dynasty back from the brink of death.

This wishful thinking is really good.

However, the Dongchang manga will naturally not let them succeed.

All of these works were tied up and taken back to Nanjing as evidence of the Tartars' invasion of Shandong and handed over to the Holy Emperor for the ruling.

The Qingzhou Prefect was also taken down by the Dongchang people for dereliction of duty and escorted to Beijing. The specific affairs of Qingzhou Prefecture were temporarily represented by the adjutant Tongzhi.

A huge threat is disappearing in its infancy.

Soon Nanjing received news.

The first person to receive the news was naturally Liu Chuanzong, the man from Dongchang.

When he learned that his son had captured dozens of Tartars' fine works, he couldn't stop smiling.

OK, OK. These little guys didn't disappoint him.

This battle can be regarded as a turnaround for the East Factory.

The East Factory has always been suppressed by the inner factory and has no chance of winning.

His Majesty the Emperor must have placed the inner factory in front of the eastern factory.

But after this Qingzhou incident, the scale in His Majesty's heart will definitely shift again.

After all, the Qingzhou incident was exposed by the East Factory since the beginning. The subsequent follow-up decision to arrest the case was done by the East Factory.

The internal factory only acted as a spectator throughout the process.

This time, His Majesty the Emperor will definitely favor Dongchang and himself.

When Liu Chuanzong thought of this, he could no longer suppress his excitement and ran towards Qianqing Palace.

At this moment, Zhu Cilang was taking a nap in the warm pavilion. When he learned that Liu Chuanzong was looking for a meeting, he opened his eyes to announce his visit.

After entering the warm-up pavilion, Liu Chuanzong knelt down on the ground to perform rituals, and then smiled and said, "Your Majesty, there is a result in Shandong."

Zhu Cilang said oh, waved his hand and said, "Tell me."

"After a thorough investigation by the East Factory, Qingzhou Prefecture has indeed mixed in with the Tartars' work. There are 53 people in total, and they have all been arrested and brought to justice."

Zhu Cilang was still a little surprised when he heard this.

Fifty-three people, this number was even greater than he thought.

He originally thought that the Tartars would send at most a dozen detailed works, but he never thought that there were more than fifty people.

Another thing surprised Zhu Ciyang, that is, the East Factory was able to capture the Tartars' work in such a short time.

This really made him look at him with admiration.

"What are these Tartars' work infiltrating into Qingzhou for the purpose of?"

"When you say that, according to their confession, Dorgon sent them to steal potatoes and sweet potatoes and learn about their cultivation methods."

Liu Chuanzong said everything he knew about pouring beans in one breath.

Sweet potatoes, potatoes...

The news about Dorgon is really well-versed.

Zhu Cilang has just promoted potatoes in Shandong, and sweet potatoes have not been more than a year, and news has been found on the Tartars.

It seems that Dorgon still has some vision and can realize the importance of potatoes and sweet potatoes.

"What else did those detailed works say?"

Zhu Cilang asked with great force without anger.

"Report to your Majesty, those who said that the north was about to lose food. That's why the Tartars placed their hopes on potatoes and sweet potatoes."

I see!

Zhu Cixuan expected that the food problem of the Qing Dynasty would be very serious, but he did not realize that they had reached the point where they were almost out of food. It seemed that Zheng Zhilong's hurried escape to the sea would have a great impact on the Qing Dynasty.

Without Zheng Zhilong, the Qing Dynasty could only raise food through the channels of Shanxi merchants. The Shanxi merchants alone were not enough to make hundreds of thousands of troops full.

Zhu Cilang vaguely felt that the time for the Northern Expedition was up.

But it was time to go to the Northern Expedition immediately or after this winter, Zhu Cilang had not yet thought about it, so he decided to summon Lu Zhenfei to discuss it with him.
