Zhu Yuanzhang once said that defeating Beiyuan is not about defeating them, but about finding them.

In fact, nearly a hundred years after entering the Central Plains, the golden blood in the Yuan body has gradually faded, and it is no longer as ferocious as Genghis Khan in the past.

The Golden Family has existed in name only!

Fighting head-on, today's Yuan people are not the opponents of the Ming Dynasty at all.

But the problem is that the Mobei grassland is vast, and it is not easy to find them, and the Yuan people have learned to be smart in the case of repeated defeats, and they do not clash head-on with the Ming army at all.

Otherwise, with the current national strength of the Ming Dynasty, the Northern Yuan would have been disintegrated long ago.

Li Qing frowned slightly, and said to himself: "If you want the horses to run, you have to let the horses eat grass."

The reason why Jinyiwei, who spies on the intelligence of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, has not made much achievements is not only because of the bitter cold outside the border, but also because Lao Zhu's slamming of the door also accounts for part of the reason.

You have to come up with something practical, and there will be brave men under the heavy reward, as long as the reward is big enough, there is no shortage of people who are willing to endure hardships. ”

……

Ten days later, the men arrived.

Li Qing summoned two deputy thousand households and ten hundred households to discuss the strategy of spying on the intelligence of the Yuan people.

Everyone's interest is not high, because it is too hard to go to Mobei, not only physically, but also psychologically, and no one wants to leave Daming and leave their hometown.

"My lord, didn't you say that we are here to spy on King Yan?"

"That's right, but just monitoring King Yan can't use so many people, and there is no need for this official to travel all the way." Li Qingdao, "Spying on Beiyuan intelligence is also within the scope of work. ”

Everyone looked at each other and nodded helplessly.

"There is a subsidy for going out of the plug!" Li Qing added.

As soon as they heard that there was money, everyone was a little interested, but only some.

"My lord, how many!"

Li Qing stretched out a hand and gestured.

"Five taels?" Liu Hao's eyes lit up, "In this case, the subordinates will definitely be willing." ”

Li Qing shook his head, "It's not a total of five taels, but during the business trip, the amount of money has increased fivefold." ”

He swept his gaze around, "You are the same! ”

"Huh?"

Everyone's eyes were fixed, and even Liu Hao and Wang Qian were also bright-eyed and fascinated.

Jinyiwei is majestic, but there is basically no oil and water to fish, everyone is dead wages, and the salary has increased fivefold, who is not impressed!

"My lord, I am willing to go." One hundred households took the lead in expressing their position.

With his statement, everyone said that they were willing to take the lead for the sake of the Ming Dynasty.

Li Qing nodded with satisfaction, this positive energy is very different from just now, it seems that money has to work!

Lao Zhu asked him to expand the Jinyi Guard, allocated 50,000 taels, and in addition to the money that had been sent for a few months, there are now 40,000 yuan.

Li Qing's waist was very hard, "Don't worry, listen to me." ”

"It's not for nothing, and each squad has to record the route of travel every day and make it a map." Li Qingdao, "Mountains, rivers, main roads, branch roads...... Nothing can be left behind! ”

"No problem!" The crowd agreed.

It's a little tough, but when you think about five times your salary, it's nothing.

"This spy intelligence lasts for four months, as long as you do your best, you will be released in full when you go back." Li Qing said with a smile, "When the time comes, this official will reward each team according to the results." ”

After a pause, "If any team comes out of the base camp of the Yuan people, the reward will be directly doubled here, and the emperor will reward him afterwards, and then take another thirty percent!" ”

When they heard that the reward was so rich, everyone still had the slightest hesitation, if it wasn't for the inn, it was inconvenient to speak, they would have to howl excitedly.

"My lord, how many teams are you going to go this time?"

Li Qing said with a smile: "It doesn't take many people to monitor the vassal king, leave a team of 100 people, and the rest of the people go." ”

After a pause, "For the sake of fairness, draw lots, and the brothers who stay should not complain, the brothers who go out have made meritorious contributions, and those who stay have soup to drink." ”

Everyone nodded, nine out of ten, if they were caught and stayed, they could only blame themselves for their bad luck.

That's fair.

A quarter of an hour later, nine people were happy, one smiled bitterly, and two others were eager to try.

Wang Qian and Liu Hao rubbed their hands together and said, "My lord, why don't we go too?" ”

Li Qing pondered for a moment, nodded in agreement, and advised: "You are here to obtain information about the other party, but if it is exposed, then the information obtained will be worthless, so concealment is your first element."

Whether you are a furrier or a herbalist, I don't ask about the process, I just want the result! ”

"Understood?"

"Understood!" Everyone nodded.

"Well, you guys go back and get ready." Li Qingdao said, "You don't have to say goodbye again, just stop and set off." ”

"Yes, sir."

……

The weather gradually warmed up, and Li Qing gradually adapted to life here.

Usually fishing, occasionally go to the hook bar to listen to music, when you are bored, you will also have a date with the little fat dun, the days are dull and comfortable.

Surveillance of King Yan has also been carried out, but no valuable information has been obtained.

Zhu Di has no intention of rebelling, and there is no sign of rebellion, except for going to Qingshou Temple from time to time, there is nothing else.

Everything is settled.

On this day, a white young man came to the door and said that the prince missed him.

Li Qing and the young man were also familiar with each other, and chuckled, "Sanbao, you wait for a while, and then you will come after changing your clothes." ”

"Well, Mr. Wangqing hurry up, don't make the prince wait for a long time."

"Right away."

A quarter of an hour later, Li Qing walked out of the inn and said to Sanbao: "Let's go, it's getting hotter and hotter this day." ”

"It's going to be summer soon, can it not be hot?" San Bao smiled, and then, curiously, "Mr. Qing, why do you always wear a mask?"

I've known you for so long, and I haven't seen you in real terms? ”

The Three Treasures are not very old, but they are very mature, and they are different from other subordinates in the palace.

Although he is also a subordinate, he is a subordinate with some status.

"I, I'm afraid that the prince will see my true appearance and send someone to arrest me and pull me to ......do it," Li Qing paused, embarrassed, "I'm sorry, Sanbao." ”

"It's okay, I'm relieved." Sanbao chuckled and shook his head, very open-minded.

Li Qing couldn't help it, and took the initiative to divert the topic, "Sanbao, how old are you?" ”

"Twelve years old."

San Bao seemed to feel that he was guilty, and said with a smile: "Mr. Qing doesn't have to worry, in fact, I am very content with my current life, not only do I have no worries about food and clothing, but I can also read and write, and the prince, the prince, and the princess treat me very well, like family."

I don't know how many people envy this kind of life. ”

Li Qing encouraged: "The Three Treasures are literate and hyphenated, and they will definitely have some achievements in the future." ”

"Thank you."

Sambo smiled and nodded.

Xu was treated very well in the palace, and the three treasures were very different from the eunuchs in the palace.

He is not like those eunuchs in the palace, who habitually bends over and has a flattering and flattering look on his face, on the contrary, he always has a yearning for life on his face, he is not inferior at all, and is full of positive energy all day long.

Of course, this is thanks to the Yan Wang family, who are really good to the Three Treasures.

The two talked and laughed, all the way to Yanwang's mansion.

As soon as I entered the mansion, I saw Zhu Di and Dao Yan coming out, both of them with peaceful smiles on their faces.

San Bao hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, and said respectfully: "San Bao has seen the prince and the master!" ”

Li Qing also hugged his fists and saluted: "Lord Wang, master!" ”

He was shocked in his heart, his mask, he had been photographed with Dao Yan in Qingshou Temple before, although the lights were dim at that time, and so much time had passed, it was inevitable that he would not be recognized.

The two stopped, and Dao Yan really saw the clue, showing a look of surprise and understanding, but he didn't expose it.

After only staying on Li Qing for a moment, he looked at Sanbao, his eyes full of appreciation.

"Lord Wang, the Three Treasures are related to the Buddha, and the poor monk wants to accept him as a disciple, I don't know ......?"

"Well said." Zhu Di smiled heartily, "Sanbao, are you willing to worship the master as a teacher?"

The master's ability is great, this is a great opportunity! ”

"Sambo is willing."

Sanbao looked happy, and hurriedly wanted to bow to the teacher.

Dao Yan held him up and said with a smile: "Buddhism doesn't talk about this, I came in a hurry today, I didn't prepare, and I came back another day as a teacher." ”

"Yes, Master... Oh no, Master. ”

Sambo hesitated slightly, "Do you want to shave your hair?" ”

"Haha......" Dao Yan shook his head with a smile, "It would be a pity if a talent like you is a monk, just be a lay disciple, no need to shave, and no taboo." ”

"Yes, Master Xie." The studious Sambo was very happy.

Zhu Di glanced at Li Qing, frowned slightly, and asked the question that Sanbao had asked:

"Why do you always wear a mask?"
