Chapter 1019: An accident that disrupted the plan

Deng Shu, who had been wandering outside for most of the day, felt particularly heavy after returning to her room on the first floor of Qingzhou. Qingzhou was infiltrated too much by Ming people.

Most of the shops on the street are run by Ming people, and almost all the goods come from the Ming country. They hired a large number of Qingzhou people to work for them. If they pretended to ask for a few casual questions, they would find that Qingzhou people were quite satisfied with their boss. They had good food and never owed wages. They could also advance if there were urgent matters. It seemed that all the Ming merchants in Qingzhou County were the kindest bosses in the world.

The Ming people's banknotes were common in Qingzhou County. When Deng Shu took out the silver to trade, it caused surprise. Some kind-hearted people even told Deng Shu that taking the silver in her hand to Changlong Bank to exchange paper money will have a certain increase. In other words, if one tael of silver is exchanged for more than one tael of silver, it will not only be worth one tael of silver, but in market transactions, the purchasing power of Ming Dynasty banknotes is equivalent to silver.

Deng Shu didn't understand these things very much, but she had a intuition that no businessman would do business at a loss. Changlong Bank must have his purpose in doing this.

Taking the exchanged banknotes and looking at these colorful papers with different denominations, Deng Shu suddenly remembered that this thing was actually just a piece of paper. The Ming people said that he was money and he was money. If one day the Ming people said that he was not money, then this piece of paper would be worthless.

But at that time, did the Qin people still have silver? No, they have such banknotes in their hands.

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

What would happen when all the Qin people used Ming people's banknotes? Deng Shu was chilled.

The Ming people had been infiltration of Qin for a long time. After the Battle of Hengdian, they began this silent but extremely severe penetration of Qin. At least in Qingzhou County, Deng Shu rarely heard Qingzhou people say that people were bad, and they seemed to have forgotten that in the Battle of Hengdian two years ago, many Qingzhou men died on the battlefield.

Reality is cruel, but life is real. People hold grudges, but people are also the most forgetful.

Deng Shu suddenly had great doubts about her plan. The Qingzhou army might accumulate under the Deng family's former remnant power, but when he ordered an attack on the Ming people, would they still be ordered? Will he still fight to the death?

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

This made Deng Shu remember something that Dai Shulun told him during the day. The Qin people who were trafficked to Ming by bad Ming merchants refused to go home because they were living better in Ming.

You can no longer let this situation continue. The longer the time, the more unfavorable the form you face, and the more infiltration of the wise people will be.

She placed a Ming coin on the light and lit it. Looking at the burning flames, Deng Shu's eyes were also flashing with flames. A fire only needed a fire, which could completely burn the Ming people's infiltration into Qingzhou.

She decided to have a good sleep. Lu Zhen would return to Qingzhou City at the latest tomorrow, and she needed to have a good talk with him. The conversation with Lu Zhen was destined to be no longer simple. Lu Zhen is no longer a former Deng family general, but an absolute power person who is respectful in his own country. Deng family has nothing else except for the remaining power of the past.

I can tell Dai Shulun what I can't tell Lu Zhen anyway. But Lu Zhen will never be satisfied with the current situation of being controlled by others.

She believed that Lu must be able to feel what she could feel.

He got up, opened the window, and took a deep breath of fresh air. The first floor of Qingzhou really lived up to his domineering name, and the height was almost level with the city wall. Standing in her room, you can overlook this area. The first floor of Qingzhou is not closed. No matter how late it is, it is brightly lit and the door is open. The hall downstairs is always crowded. A group of people walks and comes, and a large number of various kinds of information will be completed here.

Deng Fang had been in this business before, but he had never told Deng Shu that there would be such occasions. I don’t know how many state secrets and military secrets were leaked in such public occasions. Deng Shu couldn’t help but shake her head. Judging from Dai Shulun’s usual way of learning from the scriptures, it was obvious that he had known about such things for a long time and had been deeply involved in it.

Just as I was about to close the window and rest for the rest in order to accumulate my energy, I suddenly found several people hurried into the hall. The next moment, the hall downstairs suddenly became quiet, and then it became a sudden noisy. Then a large number of people rushed out of the hall and disappeared in an instant in the streets and alleys.

Something must have happened! Deng Shu keenly noticed an abnormality.

She walked to the door, and she believed that Dai Shulun must have been in the hall downstairs before, and now she would come to find him immediately. Sure enough, as soon as she reached the door, the knock on the door started.

When he opened the door, Dai Shulun looked serious.

"Miss, something happened."

"Let's talk about it when you come in!" Deng Shu turned sideways and let Uncle Dai enter the room.

"What's wrong?"

"In Daxin, the Ming army fought with the Qin defenders." Dai Shulun said.

"The Ming people invaded? At this time, it shouldn't be!" Deng Shu was also shocked.

Dai Shulun shook his head: "The information I have now received is that Xiao Lengzi, the general of the Qin garrison of Daxin, led people to kill a caravan of Ming State grain merchants, killed people and seized grain. But the problem is that he did not kill all the people and let a Ming merchant guard escape. Xiao Lengzi was not lucky, and the Ming people's Zhuifeng Camp arrived at the border area. Yu Chao immediately led Zhuifeng Camp to pursue and chased Xiao Lengzi only a few miles away from Daxin County. After a big battle, Xiao Lengzi's entire army was wiped out. Even he was captured alive by Yu Chao, and he beheaded in front of the Daxin garrison. Now Zhuifeng Camp is still stationed outside Daxin City."

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

"We are not sure about this at the moment." Dai Shulun shook his head and said, "There was no warning in advance, and it seemed that they were marching secretly."

"Why did they appear here?" Deng Shu walked around the house, "Uncle Dai, what impact will this matter have on our plan?"

"Miss, the influence is great." Dai Shulun's voice was a little heavy. "Our original plan was to persuade Lu Ding to attack Kaiping County after convincing Lu Ding. Kaiping County's original troops were insufficient, and there was only one Giant Wood Battalion stationed. Baoqing Battalion, which was originally stationed here, had been transferred to Yongping County. But now, the Zhuifeng Battalion has arrived. The military strength of Kaiping County has suddenly reached a level. Zhuifeng Battalion was an army participating in the Battle of Hengdian. It had defeated my Deng family cavalry head-on, and its combat effectiveness was extraordinary. What's more serious is that this conflict is very likely to cause the Ming army to mobilize troops to Kaiping County. Once Kaiping County gathers more troops, we have no chance of victory."

"What would happen if the attack was launched immediately now?" Deng Shu asked.

"Miss, this is not possible. First, the Hulao Pass has not yet been expanded, and we do not have enough strength to convince Lu. He is no longer the same now. Second, even if it is just a Wind Chasing Camp and a Giant Wood Camp, it is enough to make Lu Dao afraid."

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

"Yes." Dai Shulun said: "Unless it is obvious that the carriage and horses are hard to do, but I am afraid that Lu will never fight such a battle. Although Lu must have 100,000 troops, the only ones who can fight are less than 30,000 of his direct troops. Others have a worrying combat power. Do you know what the news I just heard below? More than 2,000 cavalrymen of Xiao Lengzi were destroyed, and only a hundred escaped, but do you know how many casualties the Zhuifeng Camp was killed?"

"How many?"

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

Deng Shu also widened her eyes in an instant.

"This is the real combat power of the Qingzhou Army now." Dai Shulun said: "Unless Lu must take out the army that was pressing the bottom of the wing, but even so, with the help of Zhuifeng Camp, he is afraid that he will not be able to chew. Moreover, the Ming army is likely to have a more likely plan to dispatch troops to attack Kaiping County. The plan to surprise attack on Kaiping County is no longer possible. Miss, what should I do now?"

Deng Shu sat down slowly: "How did things become like this? How could the Ming army suddenly send troops over? There was a leak? Did the Ming people already know my plan?"

"This is impossible, maybe it's just a coincidence." said Uncle Dai.

"Is Qin Feng's life so good?" With a thud, Deng Shu slapped the table with a palm.

Dai Shulun also smiled bitterly and said nothing.

After a few breaths, Deng Shu finally calmed down: "No matter what, we have to conquer Lu Ding first. Since Kaiping County cannot move, we can solve the problem of Hulao Pass. Once the matter in Hulao is big, the Ming people will definitely go where to transfer troops. At that time, Kaiping County may have a chance."

"But when the Ming army arrived at Hulao Pass, it would be difficult for Hulao Pass to go."

"It's different. At that time, the direction of Hulao Pass can be resolved by Qi people. As long as Qi people enter Hulao Pass, conflicts with the Ming army will be inevitable." Deng Shu said: "The focus will still be on Qingzhou County, Kaiping, Zhongping, and later, it will be to go to the capital!"
