Kaiping County and Tiger Prison Pass are not far away, but in the past, because a branch of the Hengduan Mountain Range crossed between them, it was steep and abnormal, except for some sheep intestine paths, which were basically in a state of isolation, but since Cheng Weigao began to build a trade road across the mountains, the two places were connected.

This trade route, which ran through Youfeng and Laiyi counties, brought an endless supply of goods to the Qin State, and also provided countless food, ordnance, and of course, the influence of the Ming Dynasty into the middle of the Qin State.

In the past, the exchanges between the Ming Dynasty and the Qin State were through Kaiping County, under the control of the Deng family, the influence of the Ming people on the Qin people was really limited, this trade route, breaking not only the control of the Deng family, but also let Xiao Qiang's ambition grow little by little, and finally after the defeat of the Deng family, the poisonous weed in Xiao Qiang's heart grew wildly.

Becoming the second Deng Hong is Xiao Qiang's goal.

And this is exactly what the Ming people need.

Everything is progressing steadily according to the Ming Dynasty's prior planning. Now, it's time to reap. The trade road can bring the great influence of the Ming people, can provide Xiao Qiang with the food and weapons he needs, and of course, can also send the Ming army along this trade road to the tiger prison.

Of course, the first batch to enter the Tiger Prison will definitely not be the army of the Ming Kingdom, this time, the one who fought the vanguard was Lu Dayuan's troops who surrendered in the Battle of Hengdian in Qin and Ming two years ago.

This elite of 10,000 people surrendered to the Ming State in a desperate situation, but now it has become the vanguard of the Ming State in its plot against the Qin State.

After two years of living in the Ming Kingdom, this army had a deep insight into the gap between the two countries, and for the border army of the Qin State, they did not expect that the original people could live like this.

The hard labor and abuse that they thought didn't come, their life in the Ming Kingdom was relaxed, and the year that had just passed was even more unforgettable for them.

They worked for Kaiping County in an organized manner, building ditches, dredging rivers, helping to harvest crops, and getting rich remuneration for this, they could get out of the barracks and use their skills to earn money in Kaiping County, the more skilled they were, the more they earned in Kaiping County. Even if you only have a brute force, you don't have to worry about having nothing to do, in short, as long as you are willing to put in the effort, you can definitely get a fair return.

After two years as a prisoner, the purse is bulging more than ever, which has to be said to be an extremely ironic thing. In the past, I joined the army to have enough food, but now, I can not only eat enough, but also feed my family.

With the blossoming of Changlong Bank and Taiping Bank in Qin, they could use these two banks to send the money they earned back to their hometown in Qin.

The seemingly ordinary life of the Ming people is what these Qin people have been pursuing but cannot obtain.

Organic, he quietly entrusted the caravan and secretly brought his family from the Qin State, of course, this is a fee, but for these people, paying a fee can make their family come to this place that they think is like heaven, and everything is worth it.

This is not much of a difficult thing for the Ming caravan. Because there are many Ming people in these two years, the business is to abduct and sell people from the Qin State and then sell them to some local governments of the Ming State, and after opening this precedent from Changyang County Shouma to the south, Yiyang, Wuling, Taoyuan, these local county guards will follow the example.

Of course, the fact that the Qin prisoners of war secretly brought their families to the Ming Kingdom soon attracted the attention of the Eagle's Nest, which had been paying attention to them. This kind of behavior is worth encouraging, this army, for the Ming State, is to be of great use, these prisoners of war family members to the Ming State, after settling down, for the Ming State to control this army has a great benefit.

Those caravans that are specially cared for are naturally full of energy, and such opportunities are not available every year. Because they can collect two portions. One was commissioned by these prisoners of war, and the other was the local magistrate who would house them.

Yongping County is naturally not good, because it has never been poisoned by war, and Yongping County belongs to the kind of place with more people and less land.

And there is not much resistance to their families being resettled in Wuling and other places, because they are told that when they go to these places, their families will be allocated houses, livestock, land, etc., which is completely happy for them, of course, they can't ask for it.

With the first batch of crab eaters and the benefits, the latecomers naturally followed the same example, and when they saw the wealth of the Ming people, they were naturally no longer satisfied with the embarrassment of the past.

They worked so hard for a year in the Qin State, but in the end they still couldn't even eat enough, but in the Ming Kingdom, they had enough food and clothing?

Everyone is thinking about this question.

Not only do I think that when I am idle at night, I will naturally discuss it, first secretly studying this issue in a very small area, and later, a large-scale discussion will begin, and at this time, the spies in the eagle's nest will naturally intervene in a timely manner, and Lu Dayuan, who has decided to serve the Ming Dynasty, and some generals will vigorously guide them.

Closing the door and not letting the people in the door see the outside world is the best way for the ruler to save effort, and if he can't see it, he naturally takes everything for granted, but once someone sees the outside world, the previous concept collapses, but it is also an overnight thing.

Once people start to think, they are only a few steps away from the truth, and if someone guides them, the effect will be more obvious.

This army is all Qin people, but they don't want to be Qin people anymore.

Not only do they not want to be Qin people, but they are also thinking that the Qin people should not live like before, and their compatriots should live a better life, just like the people of the Ming Dynasty lived such a good life.

In the end, they came to the conclusion that it was not that the Qin people were not good, nor that it was because the Qin land was poor, but that their rulers, their court, were not good.

"The Qin people can live a better life." Lu Dayuan, who was wearing armor and armor, and his generals stood neatly in front of Qin Feng, they were all carrying weapons, but it seemed that the Ming officials in the big tent were not wary of them because of this.

"We have always thought that we are poor because we are located in the west, because we don't have good land and resources, so we are poor, so we want to get more fertile land, but in the past two years, I know that we are all wrong." Lu Dayuan said: "In the past two years, I have been to Fuyuan County, and I have also been to Changyang County, these places, compared to the poorest places in our Qin country, the conditions are not very superior, compared to the middle of our Qin country, the conditions are far inferior, but they live much richer than us, I am shocked, I have stayed in these two places for a long time, I want to know, why is this happening!" ”

He paused, as if caught in a memory.

"Where, I saw the promulgation of policies and the implementation of one by one by the Ming court, and I saw how the county guards of the Ming Dynasty and the officials below governed the localities, and I finally understood that we are poor, not because of our geographical reasons, but because of the problems in the governance of our Great Qin, and the problems are from above, not below. We need to change. ”

He looked back at the rows of generals standing behind him, "We once expected the rulers of Great Qin to find a correct path after so many failures, but we were disappointed, and by now, we are not just disappointed, but desperate. Great Qin is already in turmoil, but they are still dragging the people of Great Qin into an even more bitter abyss for their own selfishness. Daqin must change, we have been in Daming for two years, watched for two years, listened for two years, and discussed for two years, and today, we have reached a consensus. ”

Lu Dayuan knelt down, "Please ask His Majesty the Emperor of Daming to relieve the suffering of the people." ”

Rows of Qin army generals knelt down and said loudly: "Please Your Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty to relieve the suffering of my people." ”

Qin Feng stood up, walked in front of Lu Dayuan, and stretched out his hand to help him up.

"Everyone, please." He said aloud: "I have always believed that there are no lazy people, only kings who can't do it, and the misfortune of the people of Qin is precisely because of your incompetent monarchs and incompetent courts, and they have never changed. Now the situation in Qin's country, presumably at home, is also very clear, this will drag Qin's country into a more bitter abyss, and the Ming Dynasty will not sit idly by, the Ming Dynasty will send troops to relieve the people from hanging upside down. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." The generals shouted in unison.

Looking around at these generals, Qin Feng experienced the results of brainwashing in the past two years. The following generals are naturally all successfully brainwashed, and those diehards, of course, cannot appear here.

"You are not the betrayers of the Qin State, but the liberators of the Qin State, and many years later, the history books will remember your merits, and the people will be grateful for your efforts as pioneers."

"We are the liberators of the people of Qin, and in order to let the people of Great Qin live a good life, we are willing to go to the soup and go to the fire, and we will not hesitate." Qin Feng's simple words defined the character of these former Qin State troops, which made their blood boil.

They are liberators, and their people need them to be rescued.

"Let's go!" Qin Feng waved his hand lightly, "Go back to your homeland and fight for your compatriots who are suffering!" They all deserve a better life. ”

"Minister, you will live up to your mission!" Lu Dayuan bowed deeply to Qin Feng, straightened his waist, turned around, and strode out. Dozens of generals followed him closely.

Outside, 10,000 heavily armed troops have been assembled, and they will return to their homeland, but this time, they are no longer the guardians of the Qin court, they are more willing to become the liberators of the people of Qin.
