Chapter 1070: Yongdu Chaos

The Tiger Prison mutiny, shaking the Qin State, Yongdu was the first to bear the brunt. In the past, even if Xiao Qiang was ambitious, but at most he just wanted to support the army and respect himself, and then he was the second Deng Hong, the elite of the tiger prison, which was still a barrier of the Qin State, not only resisting the Qi people, but also a major threat to the Ming State, but now, Xiao Qiang died, the high-level of the Tiger Prison was almost swept away, and the army of 100,000 Tiger Prison changed color overnight.

And what shocked the Qin State even more was that it was the Thunder Army sent out by the imperial court that started to slaughter. The news came from the Tiger Prison that this Thunder Army was a surprise attack launched when sending the bride into the General's Mansion, and the General's Mansion was caught off guard, and under the rapid attack of the Thunder Army, all of them were defeated.

What is Thunder Army? This is the pro-army of the Emperor of Qin, the first army of Qin, and has always been regarded as the weapon of Qin, no one would have thought that the Thunder Army would betray the emperor, and more importantly, for such a big thing, if there is no one behind the back, how can this thousand-strong Thunder Army dare to act without authorization?

What's even more strange is that this Thunder Army finally disappeared without a trace. There is no one in life, no corpse in death.

Yongdu undercurrent surging, gossip is flying all over the sky, all legend is that the emperor sent to take this opportunity to kill Xiao Qiang and take back the command of the Tiger Prison Army, but in the process of carrying out this mission, it went wrong for some reason, and finally the Thunder Army did complete the task of killing, but did not get the command of the Tiger Prison Army, but was attacked by the Tiger Prison Army and besieged in the Tiger Prison City. And the Tiger Prison army surrendered to the Ming people in anger because they hated His Majesty the Emperor for assassinating Xiao Qiang and many other generals.

These news spread quickly in Yongdu, and made most people believe this matter, because although it is gossip, it is a nose and an eye, and the evidence is one by one.

The aftermath of the Tiger Prison turmoil is still brewing, and another shocking news came, Lu Must, who was stationed in Qingzhou, brazenly waved his troops to attack Danyang County and occupied Danyang, Lu must also be a general of Qin, so this is tantamount to a rebellion.

With two heavy blows in a row, Yongdu couldn't even maintain his apparent calm.

The emperor was furious, and this basin of dirty water was poured on his head, and even if he poured the water of the three rivers, he could not wash himself. Yongdu martial law, reconnaissance everywhere, under the command of the crown prince Ma Yue, all over the city to search for Ming spies, arrest Ming merchants, Ming people in Yongdu industry were all copied, for a while, Yongdu prison, overcrowded.

Even the little peace that Qin and Ming maintained on the surface was torn to shreds, and this was only three years after the Battle of Hengdian.

Immediately, the Emperor of Qin issued a strict decree, requiring the local government of Qin to arrest all Ming merchants in the territory and confiscate the Ming property. This holy purpose was still strictly enforced in Yongduzuo, but in the farther places, it was not so spiritual.

The current situation, everyone can see it very clearly, the Ming State is strong, the Qin State is weak, the tiger prison is lost, the weakest hinterland of the Qin State has been exposed in front of the Ming people, and what is even worse is that even Lu must have rebelled, even if Lu must not have erected a rebel flag now, but brazenly set up troops to capture Danyang County, what is the difference between this and rebellion?

Lu must act, but I am afraid that he will soon follow in the footsteps of the Tiger Prison army and surrender to the Ming people.

The two armies of the Qin State relied on the dry city, and in the blink of an eye, they were about to become enemies, and when the time came, the Ming army would be killed, what would the Qin State resist? At this time, it was a pleasure to catch the Ming merchants and seize the Ming merchants by the holy decree, but in the future, the Ming people killed them, and they had to settle accounts after the autumn.

No one is stupid, is he? Anyway, far away from Yongdu, far away from the Tiangao Emperor, how else can the emperor kill them?

In addition to these openly violating the emperor's holy decree, there are also some yin and yang violations, after receiving the holy decree, but first suppressed the will, and then sent someone to secretly notify these Ming merchants, and then sent them out of the country, and when they went far, this began to search with great fanfare, beating gongs and drums is very lively, but at this time, where can you really catch the Ming people?

In the city of Yongdu, there is already a rumor, in addition to the Thunder Army, groups of county soldiers have also begun to assemble in Yongdu, and all the areas that the Qin court can still control are recruiting troops and horses. Then these conscripted troops also began to march towards Yongdu one after another, and everyone understood that between Qin and Ming, a great battle that would decide the life and death of the Qin State was about to begin.

This battle is only about the life and death of the Qin State.

Dozens of fast horses galloped to the Kaiping County Palace, an old man with white hair, turned over and dismounted, strode towards the Kaiping County Palace, the sergeant guarding the door saw the comer, and immediately bowed and saluted.

He is Yuan Yiqiu, enshrined by the royal family, but now he is also a helmet and armor, he is now a general with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and he will immediately lead the troops to the battle, but before the expedition, he was ordered by the emperor to do his last thing in Yongdu.

"Where is the prince?" While striding inside, Yuan Yiqiu asked.

"Back to the general, the prince is drinking in the back garden." A general bowed.

"Take me." Yuan Yiqiu took a deep breath.

"Yes."

Taking a step forward, Yuan Yiqiu suddenly stopped again, turned his head to look at a general who came in with him, "Go ahead, be sharp, don't let them suffer too much, and don't humiliate them."

"Yes, General!" The general stopped, and after watching Yuan Yiqiu disappear from his field of vision, he turned around, and at this time, at the gate, a group of soldiers were pouring in from the gate.

The weather in July is already very hot, today there is no sun in the sky, dark clouds are overhead, but there is no trace of wind, the weather is extremely sultry. The Deng Mansion was even more depressed to the extreme, and in the entire Mansion, there was not a single sound heard, whether it was the people in the Deng Mansion who were under house arrest in the Mansion or the army guarding them, there was not a single sound.

When Yuan Yiqiu stepped into the moon gate in the back garden, he heard the rumbling footsteps at the gate, he paused slightly, as if he wanted to turn his head, but finally did not stop, or walked in.

Deng Mansion did not have a back garden before, it was originally a school field for martial arts training, but after Deng Hong was placed under house arrest three years ago, this school field was changed into the current garden. There are no exotic flowers and plants, and the flowers planted are all casually available on the market, but at the moment, they are also very gorgeous.

Deng Hong sat cross-legged on a meadow, surrounded by flowers, but he held a pot and drank alone.

Yuan Yiqiu walked in front of him, sat down wordlessly, stretched out his hand, Deng Hong smiled, handed over the sprinkler in his hand, Yuan Yiqiu raised his neck and took a big sip, looked at Hong, and said expressionlessly: "I'll send you on the last ride."

Deng Hong nodded, "I know, I thought the emperor would come to see me off in person, but he didn't come, which disappointed me."

"Deng Shu and Dai Shulun do such a thing, do you still expect the emperor to come to see you?" Yuan Yiqiu looked at him with some anger, "Deng Hong, do you know that they do these things?"

"I said I don't know, do you believe me?"

Yuan Yiqiu hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded: "If you don't know, I still believe it, but this doesn't change the result."

"Nature." Deng Hong smiled, "Actually, since I was placed under house arrest in the house three years ago, I knew that this day would eventually come."

"The Deng clan has fallen to this point, and Daqin has also fallen to the point where life and death are hanging by a thread, haven't you ever regretted it?" Yuan Yiqiu asked.

"Regrets?" Deng Hong smiled faintly and pointed to the tallest building in the Deng Mansion, "Yuan Gong, have you ever been in that house?"

"That's your Deng family's ancestral shrine, I'm an outsider, how can I go in?" Yuan Yiqiu shook his head.

"You can go in today and have a look." Deng Hong said coldly: "Since the founding of the country, the spirit tablets of the men who died in the battle for the country of my Deng clan are enshrined, a total of one thousand and twenty-eight. The history of the founding of the country in Daqin for more than 100 years is also a history of blood and tears shed by my Deng boy for the country."

Yuan Yiqiu couldn't help but be dumbfounded, Deng Hong was right, the Deng family has always been the eagle dog of the country since the founding of the Great Qin, and the generations of Deng's men have been fighting for the country at the border.

The Deng family is rich in widows, so that with the lintel of the Deng family, in China, there are not many famous families who are willing to marry their daughters to climb the high branches, because after marrying, there is too much chance of becoming a widow. Therefore, most of the daughters-in-law of the Deng family come from small civilian households. Take Deng Hong's generation as an example, Deng Hong is the only one who has survived until now, and none of his dozen brothers died in bed, all of them died on the battlefield. And in the generation of Deng Hong's son, in addition to Deng Fang who died in the hands of Li Zhi, Deng Pu, and Deng Su also died on the battlefield, and today, the Deng family has no male son.

"No matter how great the credit is, it can't hide that Great Qin died at the hands of your Deng clan in the end." Yuan is quiet and quiet in the middle of autumn." If it weren't for your collusion with Ming Chu, how could Li Zhi have died? If Li Dashuai doesn't die, how could the Qin State get to this point?"

Deng Hongzhi laughed: "My Deng family killed Li Zhi, not for my Deng family to seek any glory and wealth, but because it is not in line with the ruling philosophy of Dashuai, in the first few decades, I wholeheartedly helped Li Shuai, and never thought of anything wrong, but later, I realized that Li Dashuai's concept was wrong, and Daqin would definitely not end well if he went on like this. I have been struggling for more than 100 years since the founding of the Great Qin, not to mention Qi Chu, even the Yue Kingdom cannot take advantage, in the end, a Ming State that has only been established for a few years can also be pressed on our heads as a prestige, Yuan Yiqiu, you say, Li Dashuai has really done nothing wrong in this life? What did he bring to Great Qin when he took charge of Great Qin? So, I want to change."
