This is actually another form of compromise. It is only possible to play such a border ball in the border counties.

During the years when the Ming Dynasty and Da Qi lived peacefully, the commercial exchanges between the two sides were extremely prosperous. This not only created a group of wealthy people in the Ming Dynasty, but also created such a group of wealthy people in Qi State. Changning County naturally had a first-hand man and was no small number of people who got rich first.

These people are undoubtedly the most thief group. As the form becomes increasingly tense and the national strength of the two countries decreases and the growth of the other, these smart people from Changning County are naturally the first to feel this change. They are much more keener than ordinary people, and they are well-informed and naturally have a scale in their hearts.

It is naturally difficult to give up my hometown, but this does not prevent them from leaving a way out for themselves. So a large amount of funds flowed into the Ming Dynasty through various public or private channels and into the Changlong Bank of the Ming Dynasty.

Changlong Bank is a private joint-stock bank. He won a huge reputation in the Ming Dynasty's battle to destroy Chu. The Chu State was destroyed, but the Chu people had a lot of money in the Changlong Bank before, but they were given a lot of money after the war. As long as you can effectively prove that you are the effective heir of the family or have a certificate of deposit. From the nobles and gentry of the Chu State to ordinary people who promoted the people, Changlong Bank was completely unscrupulous.

Even those money that lost their lives in the war and no one claimed, Changlong Bank waited for three years before announcing the money that had no owner to the public. These accounts were made public and then concentrated in an account and operated by Changlong Bank. All the profits were invested in the public welfare construction in Chu, building bridges and paving roads, raising children and elderly care, and spending money clearly and clearly.

This made Changlong Bank famous and made it enter a period of rapid business growth in the following years. A large number of people also deposited the excess funds in their hands through different channels in exchange for a thin passbook of Changlong Bank.

In Changzhu, not far from Changning County, there is a branch of Changlong Bank. Those in Changning County naturally would not give up on such an opportunity.

Fresh pine is short of money now.

Although the court provided the salary alone, how could the soldiers be willing to die without enough excitement? How could the soldiers be allowed to continue?

Whether it is to support the army or to cast cannons and build weapons, he needs a huge amount of money. At this time, if he completely expects the court to allocate money, he will probably not be able to save the near fire. What's more, the court is so difficult now, and Xian Bisong is very suspicious whether he can allocate money on time.

He has money in his hands and is not panicked. It is not that Xian Bisong has never had any idea of ​​these people, but firstly, these people are always very respectful to him and provide a lot of funding to his army every year. Secondly, these people are well-known figures in Changning County after all. If they are forced to seize it, they will probably disperse the people's hearts. Moreover, Xian Bisong also knows that more of these people's money is in the Ming Dynasty. Even if he comes to forcefully, his income is very limited.

Now that there is such an opportunity, why don’t he do it without making any effort to get wealth openly? He doesn’t care about the life and death of those people at all. If he can achieve his goal in this way, what’s the harm in letting them live?

In a good mood, fresh green pine trees took Cao Hui all the way to the gate of the General's Mansion. Just as the two bowed and said goodbye, a sudden sound of horse hooves came from the street, and they turned to look at the end of the street at the same time.

The knight immediately rolled off the horse and saw Xian Bisong and Cao Hui at the gate. He was stunned at first, but immediately reacted, knelt down on one knee, and raised the object in his hand with both hands.

"General, Commander Cao, found a person at the gate of the city, claiming to be Qin Li, the deputy commander of the ghost. This is his handwritten letter. This person said that as long as he handed this thing over to the ghost leader in Changning County, he would naturally know whether his identity was true or false."

Xian Bisong was stunned and turned to look at Cao Hui.

He naturally knew about Qin Li. Earlier, he had worked with Qin Li many times, but three years ago, Qin Li lost contact.

Cao Hui stepped forward and snatched the small seal from the knight. As soon as he started the seal, he knew it was true without looking at it. This kind of seal is of extremely special material and is only given to the high-level generals who were given to ghosts. The outside world could not imitate it.

"Where is he?" Cao Hui sternly said.

"Commander, he is at the gate of the city, and the guards guarded him." The knight looked at Cao Hui's anxious face, stammered for a moment, and said softly: "This man was covered in scars and extremely weak, and it seemed that he could not hold on at any time."

Before he could finish speaking, Cao Hui had already taken a big step forward, snatched the reins of the horse from the hands of the soldiers guarding the door, rolled over the horse, and galloped away quickly.

Xian Bisong was stunned and shouted sternly: "Isn't you still prepared for the horse?" After thinking about it, he continued: "I inform Doctor Lu and go to the city gate immediately."

Although Qin Li's identity is more than one square lower than Xian Bisong, he is also considered a big shot. Moreover, judging from Cao Hui's expression, he obviously attaches great importance to this person. He went to greet him personally, which was also a way to give Cao Hui face.

Cao Hui ran to the city gate with electric speed. At first glance, he saw a thin man in ragged clothes and scars leaning against the city wall, dyingly. The scars on his face were covered with scars, and frostbite cracked on the exposed skin, which was cracked like the size of a baby's mouth, constantly oozing blood and pus.

Qin Li in the past was also a handsome man. There was no trace of Qin Li in front of him.

He walked forward a few steps and widened his eyes.

Hearing the footsteps, the man opened his eyes with some difficulty, looked at Cao Hui, and actually grinned: "Commander, I'm back alive."

Although the voice was different, Cao Hui would not forget his eyes. Almost the moment Qin Li opened his eyes, he recognized him.

He rudely pulled apart the soldiers in front of Qin Li. He bent down and ignored the dirtyness in front of Qin Li. He picked him up and looked around and saw the small room where soldiers who were usually resting in the city gate, and immediately walked over, kicked the door open with a bang, and walked in.

There was a charcoal fire in the room, and a warm feeling immediately came to my face. Put Qin Li on the bed and hold Qin Li's hand tightly. Cao Hui looked at him with red eyes, "Why are you like this?"

Qin Li laughed: "This is a long way to say it, but it is already very satisfying to be able to come back alive, commander..."

"Don't talk for now." Cao Hui held Qin Li's hand tightened slightly, "Since we are back, we have time to communicate, and there is no hurry to communicate at this moment. Now what you need is to save your life first. You only have one breath left. Do you know? You just hang your body with this breath before. Qin Li, don't relax, hang it firmly for me. I believe that General Xian will definitely bring the doctor when he comes."

"Doctor Lu is here." The sound of Xian Bisong came from the door. Xian Bisong who entered the door saw Qin Li lying on the bed. He was stunned for a moment and murmured: "Why, why did he look like this? Doctor Lu, Doctor Lu."

An old man with white hair and hair walked in with a medicine box, which was exactly the same as Xian Bisong's reaction. However, after being stunned, he immediately walked to the bed, put Qin Li's pulse with one hand, opened the medicine box beside him with the other hand, took out a small porcelain bottle from inside, poured out a pill, and came to Qin Li's mouth, and ordered: "Eat it. This is a life-saving pill made by Shu Chang from Ming Guo."

Shu Chang's reputation was almost a guarantee of life-saving. Qin Li swallowed the pill in one mouthful without hesitation.

It is indeed a person's name. The shadow of the tree and Shu Chang's production are indeed the best among the best. In less than a while, Qin Li's breathing became much smoother and a hint of blush appeared on his face.

Doctor Lu turned his head to look at Cao Hui and Xian Bisong beside him: "General, Commander Cao, please take the two of you for a while. I need to deal with the injuries on this person."

"Do you have any worries about your life?" Cao Hui asked.

Dr. Lu let go of his hand for taking his pulse, "It would be hard to say if Shu Chang didn't have this life-saving pill, but now he should be worry-free. The old man is still sure to save his life, but it may be difficult to recover as before."

"This person is Qin Li, and he is an important minister of our Great Qi. Please worry about Doctor Lu." Cao Hui nodded at Doctor Lu, turned around and walked out. Xian Bisong looked at Qin Li again, and followed him out of the room.

"How did General Qin look like this?" asked Xian Bisong. Since the incident at Panlong Mountain, Qin Li has disappeared and there is no news.

"He is looking for foreign aid for our Daqi." Cao Hui said: "He first went to Manila, and then went to the Western Continent. He wanted to persuade the countries there to send troops to attack Manila and even Ming. Half a year ago, we received news that the main fleet of the Ming people left the Ming land on a large scale and went to Manila. Obviously, he succeeded."

"How come back so miserably?"

"I'm afraid the Battle of Manila is over." Cao Hui smiled bitterly and said, "The Ming people even left a fleet to monitor and harass us. They did not even mobilize their army and ended the battle easily."

"The barbarians in the Western Continent are naturally vulnerable." Xian Bisong looked dissatisfied, "It is normal to lose to the Ming people. Even if we are at a disadvantage now, we can still let the Ming people know that a real war is definitely not something that can be won with advanced weapons."
