Chapter 1070: Chaos in Yongdu

The Hulao mutiny shocked Qin, and Yongdu was the first to be hit. In the past, even though Xiao Qiang had ambitions, he only wanted to gain self-respect. To go further, he was the second Deng Hong. The elite Hulao army was still a barrier for Qin, not only resisting the Qi people, but also a great threat from Ming. But now, Xiao Qiang died, and the top leaders of Hulao were almost wiped out. The 100,000 Hulao troops changed their colors overnight. Now, the Sun and Moon Flag of Ming has been planted on the pass of Hulao.

What shocked Qin even more was that the slaughter was the Thunder Army sent by the court. The news from Hulao was that this Thunder Army launched a sudden attack when sending the bride to the General's Mansion. The General's Mansion was caught off guard and was defeated under the rapid attack of the Thunder Army.

What is the Thunder Army? This is the personal army of the Qin emperor and the first army of Qin. It has always been considered a weapon for Qin to maintain the country. No one would have thought that the Thunder Army would betray the emperor. More importantly, if no one supports such a big thing, how could this Thunder Army dare to act without authorization?

What's even more strange is that this Thunder Army finally disappeared without a trace. No one was seen in life or corpses were seen in death.

Yongdu was undercurrent, and rumors were flying all over the sky. It was all said that the emperor sent a chance to kill Xiao Qiang and get the command of the Hulao army. However, during the process of carrying out this mission, somehow something went wrong. In the end, the Thunder Army did complete the task of killing people, but did not get the command of the Hulao army. Instead, the Hulao army counterattacked and surrounded and killed in Hulao city. The Hulao army hated His Majesty the Emperor to assassinate Xiao Qiang and many generals, and surrendered to the Ming people in anger.

These news spread quickly in Yongdu and made most people believe this matter, because although it was rumor, it had a nose and eyes, and the evidence was well-known one after another.

The consequences of the Hulao storm are still in the midst of the intoxication. Another shocking news came. Lu Jing, who was stationed in Qingzhou, bravely led his troops to attack Danyang County and occupied Danyang. Lu Jing was also a general of Qin. This approach was tantamount to rebel.

After two consecutive heavy blows, Yongdu could not even maintain the calmness on the surface.

The emperor was furious. This basin of dirty water was poured on his head. Even if he poured the water from the three rivers, he could not clean himself. Yongdu martial law was strictly followed, and the detective cavalry were everywhere. Under the command of the Crown Prince Ma Yue, the Ming spies were hunted all over the city and Ming merchants. The Ming people's property in Yongdu was investigated. For a moment, the Yongdu prison was overcrowded.

The little peace maintained on the surface of Qin and Ming were torn to pieces, and this was only three years after the Battle of Hengdian.

The Emperor of Qin immediately issued a strict edict, requiring officials from all over the Qin State to arrest all Ming merchants in the territory and investigate the Ming people's property. This imperial edict was strictly enforced in the vicinity of Yongdu, but it was not so effective in faraway places.

Everyone can see the current situation clearly. Ming State is powerful, Qin State is weak, and Huzhu is lost. Qin State's weakest hinterland has been exposed to the Ming people. To make matters worse, even Lu must have rebelled. Even if Lu must have not raised a flag of rebellion, he brazenly led troops to capture Danyang County City. What's the difference between this and rebellion?

Lu's actions were certain that he would soon follow the footsteps of the Hulao army and surrender to the Ming people.

The two Qin troops that relied on Gancheng will become enemies in a blink of an eye. When the time comes, a counterattack will be made by the Ming people. What will Qin do to resist? At this time, the imperial edict will be used to arrest Ming Shang and seal the Ming Shang industry. It will be happy, but in the future, the Ming people will come here, and the accounts will be settled after the autumn.

No one is stupid, right? Anyway, it is far away from Yongdu and far away from the emperor. What else can the emperor do if they do?

In addition to those who publicly violated the emperor's imperial edict, there were some who violated the imperial edict. After receiving the imperial edict, they first suppressed the edict, and then sent someone to secretly notify the Ming businessmen, and then sent them to leave the country. After they walked far, they began to search with great fanfare. The gongs and drums were very lively, but at this time, how could they really catch the Ming people?

There was already a panic in Yongdu City. In addition to the Thunder Army, teams of county soldiers began to gather towards Yongdu, and all areas that the Qin court could still control were recruiting soldiers. Then these recruited troops began to set off towards Yongdu one after another. Everyone understood that a war between Qin Ming that determined the life and death of Qin was about to begin.

This battle only concerns the life and death of Qin.

Dozens of fast horses rushed to the Kaiping County Prince's Mansion. An old man with white hair and beard turned over and dismounted, and strode towards the Kaiping County Prince's Mansion. The soldiers guarding at the door immediately bowed and bowed to the Kaiping County Prince's Mansion when they saw the visitor.

He was Yuan Yiqiu, a royal family worshipped, but now he is also wearing armor. He is now a general who has tens of thousands of troops and horses. He immediately wants to lead his troops to the battle. However, before going to the battle, he was ordered by the emperor to do his last thing in Yongdu.

"Where is the prince?" Yuan Yiqiu asked while strode inward.

"Go back to the general, the prince drinks in the back garden." A general bowed.

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

"yes."

After taking a step forward, Yuan Yiqiu suddenly stopped again and turned to look at a general who followed him, "Go ahead, be more scrupulous, don't let them suffer too much, let alone humiliate them."

"As for orders, General!" The general stopped and watched Yuan Yiqiu disappear from his sight before turning around. At this time, teams of soldiers were pouring in from the gate.

The weather in July is already very hot. There is no sun in the sky today, with dark clouds pressing down on the top, but there is no trace of wind, so the weather seems extremely stuffy. The Deng Mansion is even more depressed. There is no sound in the entire mansion. None of the people under house arrest in the mansion or the army guarding them makes a 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 he didn't stop and walked in.

There was no back garden in the Deng Mansion before. It was originally a martial arts schoolyard. It was only after Deng Hong was under house arrest in the mansion three years ago that the schoolyard was changed into its current garden. There were no strange flowers and plants, and the flowers planted were all available on the market, but now they are very beautiful.

Deng Hong sat cross-legged on a grassland, with flowers around him angry, but he held a pot and drank alone.

Yuan Yiqiu walked to him, sat down silently, reached out, Deng Hong smiled and handed the sprinkler pot in his hand. Yuan Yiqiu raised his neck and took a big sip, looked at Zhao Hong, and said expressionlessly: "I'll give you your last journey."

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 angrily, "Deng Hong, do you know that they do these things?"

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

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

"Of course." Deng Hong smiled, "In fact, since I was under house arrest in the mansion three years ago, I knew that this day would come eventually."

"Deng's current level has fallen to the point where the Qin Dynasty has fallen to the point where life and death are hanging on the forefront. Have you never regretted it?" Yuan Yiqiu asked.

"Repent?" Deng Hong smiled faintly and pointed to the tallest building in Deng's mansion. "Mr. Yuan, have you ever been in that house?"

"That is your Deng family's ancestral temple. How can I enter as an outsider?" Yuan Yiqiu shook his head.

"You can go in today and go and have a look." Deng Hong said coldly: "Since the founding of the Qin Dynasty, the spiritual cards of the men who died in battle for the country are enshrined, and there are 1,028 in total. The history of the founding of the Qin Dynasty for more than a hundred years is also a bloody and tears story of the men who are the Deng family who are shedding for the country."

Yuan Yiqiu couldn't help but feel silent. Deng Hong was right. Since the founding of the Great Qin Dynasty, the Deng family has been a hawk and dog. From generation to generation, the Deng family has been fighting for the country. If there are the most men in the Great Qin Dynasty who died for the country, it is undoubtedly the Deng family.

The Deng family is rich in widows, so with the Deng family, there are not many famous families in China who are willing to marry their daughters to climb high schools, because after marriage, there is too much chance of becoming widows. Therefore, most of the daughters-in-laws of the Deng family come from small civilian families. Take Deng Hong's generation as an example. Deng Hong is the only one who survives to this day. None of his dozen brothers died in bed, all of them died in battle. In the generation of Deng Hong's sons, except for Deng Fang who died in Li Zhi, Deng Pu and Deng Su also died in battle on the battlefield. Today, there is no man in the Deng family.

"No matter how great the contribution is, it cannot be concealed that the Qin Dynasty will eventually be destroyed by your Deng family." Yuan Yiqiu said quietly after a while. "If you hadn't colluded with Ming Chu, how could Marshal Li Zhi die? If Marshal Li didn't die, how could Qin reach this point now?"
