0931 was targeted
So Liu Zeqing planned to do it at the border between Qingzhou Mansion and Dongchang Mansion. When the time comes, after killing people, he grabs things and returns directly to his lair, and absolutely no one can find him.
But what he didn't expect was that Liu Pei had already arranged for the Intelligence Bureau to keep an eye on every military general and civilian official in Shandong. And all those who are a little famous in history have all been named and installed by Liu Pei. What's more, like Liu Zeqing, who can actually mix into the four towns of Nanmingjiang and Beibei, is the object of attention.
Liu Pei pondered for a long time with the secret letter, and wrote a reply directly on the back of Missy. Let Liu Jiang arrange for the recent reduction of the convoy in the north and spread the news that the workshop has received several large orders and is hoarding goods to be shipped to the north together.
After Liu Jiang got Liu Pei's reply, he instantly understood Liu Pei's plan. He immediately sent letters to the heads of several departments, asking them to act according to their demands. At the same time, he arranged for someone to release the news to let Liu Zeqing's people know that a large number of goods were going north soon after, which was said to be a joint order of the two princes, and some of them were to be sold to Mongolia.
Liu Ze was stimulated by greed early in the morning and fainted, and when he heard the news, he rushed to the top of the door! Start assembling your staff immediately.
The reason why Liu Pei did this was to kill Liu Zeqing and wipe out his core subordinates as much as possible. At the same time, in order to test the new classes. Only by emphasizing the large volume of goods will Liu Zeqing gather more reliable manpower.
Liu Pei also had a reason to kill Liu Zeqing. It's that Liu Pei finally has money in his hands, but there is nowhere to buy land! And clearing the wasteland is too time-consuming, so Liu Pei is ready to use a relatively fast method to collect a batch of land.
Now in the whole of Shandong and even the whole country, all the places that are easy to develop have been developed. The rest of the place is not too difficult to develop and too much investment; It's that the gains outweigh the losses after the investment. That's why Liu Peicai hit the idea on the gentry.
Anyway, the land left in their hands is just a tool for squeezing farmers, so it is better to hand it over to Liu Pei. And Liu Zeqing is just such a big landowner.
Another point is that Liu Pei covets the number of troops and guards under Liu Zeqing. Now there are still nearly ten years before Daming slides into the final abyss
, but Liu Pei's troop hoarding on the Shandong Peninsula is less than 30,000!
Although the number of Liu Pei's soldiers is still gradually increasing, this number is far from enough for the huge space in the country! Liu Pei needed to expand his strength as much as possible when the Ming court didn't know about it, until the court was unable to deal with him.
But hoarding troops is a rather sensitive matter. Even in the previous peaceful years, it was impossible for even the Shandong General Army to hold all the Shandong troops in their hands. He can only control the army through the general forces at all levels below. This is the iron law of the imperial court and cannot be changed.
Ten days later, Liu Pei transferred a group of people to replace most of the hitchhikers and dart masters. Then these pretended guys mingled with the dart master and the real dart master, escorting dozens of carts to the departure.
The long convoy pulled out a long way on the official road! Looking at the tall carport, you know that it must be full of expensive goods. However, rubber-tyred carts run much brisker than other wood-wheeled vehicles. In the team, Liu Pei disguised himself as an ordinary dart master and mixed in the team.
Not long after the convoy left the boundary of Laizhou, the old dart master who followed the car on weekdays whispered: "We have to be careful, I'm afraid we will be targeted." ”
These words reached Liu Pei's ears, and Liu Pei immediately arranged for the team leader to bring the old dart master to question. As soon as he heard the team leader say that the young dart master in front of him was Liu Pei, he immediately understood that the owner knew that someone was blocking in front of him, so he came to see it in person. This made the old dart master feel a lot more at ease.
Liu Pei saw the change in the old dart master's expression, so he naturally knew what he was thinking? So Liu Pei didn't care what the old dart master thought, what he was interested in was how the old dart master judged? So Liu Pei asked, "How do you know if someone is targeting us?" ”
Of course, the old dart master knew Liu Pei's identity. However, peripheral people like him only know that Liu Pei is the owner of the hitchhiker, and he is not qualified to know other things. So he said respectfully to Liu Pei: "Boss, the few people who rode over just now are not right!" Several of them were dressed up as if they were walking long distances, but they were urging their horses too fast! You know, if you rush too fast, you won't be able to run for long. And there is no dry food package on him, which means that someone has answered him
Guys. ”
Liu Pei believed in the judgment made by these old dart heads. Because they are very experienced. So Liu Pei nodded and said, "Then can you see their road number?" ”
The old dart master twisted his eyebrows and thought for a long time and said, "Owner, if this batch of goods is not in a hurry, let's turn back first!" ”
Liu Pei was interested when he heard this, and said, "Why do we want to go back?" ”
The old dart master said worriedly: "Owner, I suspect that the person who is eyeing us is from the government!" ”
Liu Pei was very emotional when he heard this, and praised this old dart head in his heart. He judged from only a few horseback riders passing by the convoy that there were government officials involved. So Liu Pei said: "You don't have to worry about this! Tell me how you judge? ”
When the old dart master heard Liu Pei's words, he knew that Liu Pei was on guard, so he stretched his eyebrows and said, "Owner, just now five or six people on horseback passed one after another. They were dressed differently, but the boots they wore were the same. They are all the kind of military boots worn by officers and soldiers. ”
Liu Pei laughed when he heard it! This old dart master really didn't guess wrong, and he was really an official and soldier who was ready to start. Liu Pei actually saw those people, but he really didn't see it! But as soon as the old dart master said this, he understood.
There was really nothing wrong with the outfit of those people, but Bai Mi Yishu acted in the boots of the official army. It is the so-called easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift. They are used to wearing military boots, so how can they wear the straw sandals and cloth shoes of the common people?
Liu Pei patted the old dart master's arm and said, "Good eyesight!" But we don't need to look back. As long as you remember your daily training and follow the command, there will be no problem! ”
Of course, the old dart master knew that Liu Peiming's identity was the chief soldier of Denglai. He understood that this was Liu Pei who didn't care about the other party, and was sure to retreat or defeat the other party. So he nodded and went back to the group.
The convoy traveled day and night, and soon arrived at the junction of Jinan Mansion and Qingzhou Prefecture. This place belongs to the Sanzhi region, and the population is almost extinct, so it is the most suitable for war. Liu Pei's route is not suspicious, because large convoys are generally willing to cut corners. Because they have a strong ability to protect themselves.
