Chapter 1019: An accident that disrupted the plan

Deng Shu, who had been wandering around outside for most of the day, returned to her room on the first floor of Qingzhou, but her heart was extremely heavy. Qingzhou was infiltrated too much by the Ming people.

Most of the shops on the street are operated by the Ming people, almost all the goods are from the Ming country, they hire a large number of Qingzhou people to work for them, pretend to ask a few words at will, you can find that the Qingzhou people are quite satisfied with their owners, the food is very good, never arrears of wages, and there are urgent things to wait, you can also advance, it seems that all the Ming merchants in Qingzhou County, one by one are the most kind owners in the world.

The banknotes of the Ming people are common in Qingzhou County, when Deng Shu took out the silver two to trade, it actually caused surprise, and even some kind-hearted people quietly told Deng Shu that the silver in his hand went to Changlong Bank to exchange for banknotes, there will be a certain rise, that is to say, one or two silver in exchange, will be worth more than one or two silver banknotes, but in the market transaction, the purchasing power of Ming banknotes is equivalent to silver.

Deng Shu didn't know much about this, but she had an intuition that no businessman would do a loss-making business, and Changlong Bank must have his purpose in doing so.

Holding the paper money in exchange and looking at these colorful papers of different denominations, Deng Shu suddenly remembered that this thing is actually a piece of paper, Ming people say that he is money, he is money, if one day, Ming people say that he is not money, then this paper will be worthless.

But when that time really comes, do the people of Qin still have silver in their hands? No, they have all this kind of banknotes in their hands.

Of course, Deng Shu also knew that this situation was not very likely, because the Ming people also used this kind of banknote. The problem is that the territory of the Qin State is now full of their banks, not only the Changlong Bank, but also the Taiping Bank, and the Taiping Bank is also owned by the Ming court.

What happens when all the Qin people use the banknotes of the Ming people? Deng Shu shuddered in her heart.

The infiltration of the Ming people into the Qin State has been going on for a long time, and since the Battle of Hengdian, they have begun this kind of infiltration that is silent but extremely troubled to the Qin State. At least in Qingzhou County, Deng Shu rarely heard Qingzhou people explain that people are very bad, and they seem to have forgotten that in the Battle of Hengdian two years ago, I don't know how many Qingzhou sons died on the battlefield.

Reality is cruel, but life is real. People are grudgeful, but they are also the most forgetful.

Deng Shu suddenly had great doubts about his plan, the army of Qingzhou might accumulate under his command under the former prestige of the Deng clan, but when he ordered an attack on the Ming people, could they still obey the order? Will he still fight hard?

One day in Qingzhou, Deng Shu felt the strong malice of the Ming people, but the Qingzhou people were comfortable in this atmosphere.

This reminded Deng Shu of something that Dai Shulun had said to him during the day, those Qin people who were trafficked to the Ming Kingdom by unscrupulous Ming merchants actually refused to go home, because they lived better in the Ming Kingdom.

This situation cannot be allowed to continue, and the longer it goes, the more unfavorable the form will be, and the penetration of the Ming people will go deeper.

She put a Ming coin on the lamp and lit it, looking at the burning flames, Deng Shu's eyes were also flickering flames, a fire, just need a fire, you can completely burn the Ming people's infiltration of Qingzhou.

She decided to get a good night's sleep, Lu must be back in Qingzhou City tomorrow at the latest, and she needed to talk to him properly. The conversation with Lu must not be simpler, the current Lu must no longer be the general of the Deng clan in the past, but an absolute strength of the local people who support the army and respect themselves, and the Deng clan has nothing else except the residual power of the past.

I can tell Dai Shulun something, but I can't tell Lu certain anyway. But Lew will never be satisfied with the current situation of being controlled by others forever.

She could feel it, and she believed that Lou would feel it too.

I got up, pushed open the window, and took a deep breath of fresh air. The first floor of Qingzhou is indeed worthy of his domineering name, the height is almost level with the city wall, standing in her room, you can almost overlook this area. The first floor of Qingzhou is not closed, even if it is late, it is also brightly lit, and the door is open, and the hall downstairs is always overcrowded. A group of people came and went, and a large amount of all kinds of information was traded here.

Deng Fang used to do this, but he had never told Deng Shu that there would be such an occasion, and he didn't know how many state secrets and army secrets were leaked out in such a public occasion, Deng Shu couldn't help but shake his head. Judging from the usual appearance of Dai Shulun's study of the scriptures, it is obvious that he has known about such a thing for a long time, and he has been deeply involved in it.

I was about to close the window and rest in order to recuperate, but suddenly found several people hurriedly entering the hall, and the next moment, the hall downstairs suddenly fell silent, and then there was a steep noise, and then a large number of people hurried out of the hall, and in an instant they dissipated into the streets and alleys.

Something must have happened! Deng Shu was keenly aware of the anomaly.

She walked to the door, believing that Dai Shulun must have been in the hall downstairs before, and at this moment, he would come to him immediately. Sure enough, as soon as she reached the door, there was a knock on the door.

Pulling open the door, Dai Shulun's face was serious.

"Miss, something happened."

"Come in and talk about it!" Deng Shu turned sideways and let Dai Shulun into the room.

"What's going on?"

"In Daxin, the Ming army fought with the defenders of Daqin." Uncle Dai said.

"Akito invasion? At this time? It shouldn't be! Deng Shu was also taken aback.

Dai Shulun shook his head: "The information I got now is that Xiao Lengzi, the general of the Qin garrison in Daxin, led people to rob and kill a caravan of grain merchants of the Ming State, killed people, and seized grain. But the problem is that he didn't kill them all, and let a Ming merchant guard escape, Xiao Lengzi was unlucky, and it happened that the Ming people's chasing camp arrived in the border area. After a big battle, Xiao Lengzi's entire army was wiped out, and even he himself was captured alive by Yu Chaosheng, beheaded in front of the Daxin garrison, and now the wind chasing battalion is still stationed outside Daxincheng. ”

Deng Shu took a long breath, and the focus of her attention was obviously not the destruction of Xiao Lengzi's army, but another one. "How could Yu Chao's Wind Chasing Battalion appear in Kaiping County?"

"We don't know much about this at the moment." Dai Shulun shook his head and said, "Without warning in advance, it seems that they have been secretly marching all along. ”

"Why are they here?" Deng Shu walked around the house, "Uncle Dai, what impact will this incident have on our plans?" ”

"Miss, it has a big impact." Dai Shulun's voice was a little heavy. "Our original plan was to suddenly attack Kaiping County after persuading Lu Ding, Kaiping County's original strength was insufficient, only one Jumu Battalion was stationed, the Baoqing Battalion originally stationed here has been transferred to Yongping County, but now, the Wind Chasing Battalion is here. It was the military strength of Kaiping County that suddenly rose to a higher level, and the Wind Chasing Battalion was a unit that participated in the Battle of Hengdian, and it had defeated our Deng Iron Cavalry head-on, and its combat effectiveness was not ordinary. What is more serious is that this conflict is very likely to cause the Ming army to mobilize troops to assemble in Kaiping County, once Kaiping County gathers more troops, we have no chance of winning. ”

"What if you attack now?" Deng Shu asked.

"Miss, this is not going to work. First, the Tiger Prison Pass has not yet been launched, and we don't have enough strength in our hands to impress Lu Must, he is not what he used to be. Second, even if it's just a Wind Chasing Camp and a Giant Wood Camp, it's enough to make Lu definitely daunted. ”

"In other words, the plan to raid Kaiping County is basically impossible." Deng Shu said in annoyance.

"Yes." Dai Shulun said: "Unless it is clear that the carriage and horses are working hard, but I am afraid of such a battle, Lu will definitely never fight." Don't look at Lu must claim to have 100,000 troops, only his descendants are less than 30,000 who can really fight, and the rest, the combat effectiveness is worrying, do you know what the news I just heard below is? Xiao Lengzi's more than 2,000 cavalry were wiped out, and only about 100 escaped, but do you know how many casualties there were in the Wind Chasing Battalion? ”

"How much?"

"One hundred and twenty-eight dead!" Dai Shulun sighed.

Deng Shu's eyes widened suddenly.

"This is the real combat power of the current Qingzhou Army." Dai Shulun said: "Unless Lu must take out the army that he pressed the bottom of the box, but even so, with the help of the Giant Wood Battalion with the assistance of the Wind Chasing Battalion, he is afraid that he will not be able to gnaw." What's more, it is very likely that the Ming army will also transfer troops over, and the plan of a surprise attack on Kaiping County is no longer possible. Miss, what now? ”

Deng Shu sat down slowly: "How did things become like this, Ming Army, why did they suddenly transfer troops?" There's a leak there? Could it be that Akito already knows my plan? ”

"It can't be, perhaps, it's just a coincidence." Uncle Dai said.

"Is it possible for Qin Feng's life to be so good?" With a bang, Deng Shu slammed his palm on the table.

Dai Shulun also smiled bitterly.

Taking a few breaths, Deng Shu finally calmed down: "No matter what, we have to subdue Lu Ding first, since Kaiping County can't move, we can solve the matter of the Tiger Prison Pass, once the matter of the Tiger Prison is big, where will the Ming people inevitably transfer troops, and when the time comes, Kaiping County may have a chance." ”

"But when the Ming army arrives at the Tiger Pass, the direction of the Tiger Pass will be difficult."

"It's different, when the time comes, the direction of the Tiger Prison Pass can be solved by Qi people. As long as the Qi people entered the Tiger Prison Pass, a conflict with the Ming army was inevitable. Deng Shu said: "The focus is still on Qingzhou County, Kaiping, Zhongping, and in the future, it will be Yuejing!" ”

Deng Shu's eyes lit up again.
