After the New Year, the first local official Qin Feng met in Chaoyang Tower was Cheng Weigao from Yongping County. The fastest update now is that the trade between the Ming Dynasty and Qin State mainly takes two channels. One is the direction of Kaiping County. The main one dealing with the Ming Dynasty was the Deng family border army. It used to be Deng Hong, but now it has been Deng Pu. The other road is Yongping County. Almost all the border lines between Yongping County and Qin State are steep mountains and a Hulao Pass, which has become the dividing line between the two countries. On this side of the Ming State, there are high mountains and dense forests and steep roads. On the other end of the Qin State, it is a rare broad plain and one of the few grain-producing areas of the Qin State. The Qin people stationed in Hulao Pass to prevent the former Yue State from attacking from here.

In terms of geographical conditions, the Yue people are prone to attack Qin from here, but Qin is not easy to enter and cross the border. Therefore, although there has been no war in Hulao Pass for many years, there is still a 50,000-person border army stationed here. The guard general Xiao Qiang is the supreme commander of this border army, and he is also the deputy commander of the Qin border army.

"Your Majesty, most of our trade with the Qin people now have to be Kaiping County. First, it is because the Ming Dynasty has a good relationship with the Deng family, and second, it is because the transportation there is more convenient. Most of the people who walk from Hulao Pass are private vendors." Cheng Weigao pointed to the direction of Hulao Pass on the map and said to Qin Feng: "This area is also the poorest place in our Yongping County."

Qin Feng raised his gaze from the map and looked at Cheng Weigao: "Does County Governor Cheng have any ideas now?"

Cheng Weigao nodded: "Yes. When Li Zhi died, Deng came to power, but whether Deng Hong or Deng Pu, Deng was unable to reach Li Zhi's reputation in a short period of time, so he couldn't help but have various thoughts. Xiao Qiang sent someone to secretly contact him, hoping to expand the border trade between the two sides. The minister felt that it was profitable and at least it could benefit the people of our Yongping County. "

"A few years ago, Eagle Nest just came to report that Xiao Qiang asked for Deng Fang's daughter for his son." Qin Feng said thoughtfully.

"To the heart of Deng's family." Cheng Weigao chuckled: "At that time, Li Zhi was dead, Deng's family was not firmly established, and Xiao Qiang was even more busy. He must be worried that Deng would take advantage of this opportunity to eliminate those who were disloyal to Deng's family. If he had no expression, he would probably not be able to sit steadily in the position of general in Hulao Pass."

"In other words, Xiao Qiang has now firmly grasped the border troops in the direction of Hulao Pass. He has confidence in his heart." Qin Feng chuckled.

"It should be like this." Cheng Weigao nodded: "I have had a few encounters with Xiao Qiang. Although this person is a military general, he is very cunning and has ambition. When Li Zhi was alive, he maintained the situation of the Qin royal family, Deng family and Bian family, and suppressed any other forces that could emerge. However, when Li Zhi died, Bian family was defeated. In order to make a long-term plan, the Qin royal family must support a number of emerging forces to compete with Deng family and maintain the domestic political balance. Xiao Qiang saw the opportunity, so he may not be willing to continue to be willing to be submissive to Deng family."

"It is indeed not good for us to dominate the Deng family. The fierce domestic struggle in Qin is in line with our interests. This is why both the Ming and Chu countries must kill Li Zhi." Qin Feng pondered: "It is not bad to support a force to restrain Deng family, but does this Xiao Qiang have the ability? I don't want to steal chickens and lose rice. At that time, Xiao Qiang will be swallowed by Deng family in one mouthful, and we will lose our wife and soldiers."

"Your Majesty, I dare to guarantee this. Xiao Qiang is not a simple person. If he is not as good as Deng Hong and Deng Pu in military affairs, he is far superior to him. He can tolerate and seize opportunities. If Deng Fang is still there, this person will never dare to act rashly, but Deng Fang is dead. I am afraid that this person will be ready to move now. If he asks for Deng Fang's daughter for his son, he may not have the intention to accept some of Deng Fang's original forces." Cheng Weigao said firmly: "I think this is another opportunity for our Ming Dynasty."

"It is indeed an opportunity. Deng's family will dominate the family and will inevitably launch external expansion. Although they must now use Chu as their main goal, if it is not going well, who can guarantee that they will not turn the finger at us?" Qin Feng said: "If we have a conflict with the Qi people, they may pounce on us and bite our meat."

"So it is necessary to find something for Deng's family." Cheng Weigao smiled.

"Judge Cheng has just passed the New Year and hurried to Beijing. I think there will be Xiao Qiang's messenger in the accompanying team!" Qin Feng suddenly laughed.

"I dare not deceive Your Majesty, that's the case. Xiao Qiang gave me a considerable gift, with the purpose of asking me to introduce Your Majesty to him." Cheng Wei Gao said.

"Since we are here, we will see you first. If we are worth our action, then opening up a more trade route will be a good thing for me. But if this matter is really done, I am afraid that Xiao Qiang has reached some agreement with the Qin royal family in secret." Qin Feng thought for a while, "You arrange it, I will meet them tomorrow. If it is not in the palace, it will be arranged in the heaven and earth. In your name, I will come at that time. Deng must be staring at you now, and they must be worried about Xiao Qiang's actions. If you bring people into the palace, it will be easy for people to find clues. Those who are interested can only check it and you can get up to the sky."

"Yes, your Majesty."

Cheng Weigao said goodbye and left. Qin Feng reopened the map, picked up the red pen, circled the Hulao Pass, looked at it for a long time, and suddenly said with a smile: "It's such a good place. If Hulao Pass can be taken down, as soon as the army comes out, it will immediately isolate Deng Pu's tens of thousands of troops from the Qin country."

Eunuch Le walked in gently, stood in front of Qin Feng, and whispered: "Your Majesty, Jiang Shangyan, the general of Baoqing Camp, is here to say goodbye to Your Majesty."

"Jiang Shangyan, call him in!" Qin Feng covered the map and nodded at Eunuch Le.

Jiang Shangyan walked in with her head raised and her chest raised. When she saw Qin Feng, she just bowed with her fists. Seeing Qin Feng pointing to the stool on the side, she sat up without restraint.

His identity is quite special. He said he was a general of Chu. He has been fighting for Qin Feng in recent years. Now he is stationed on the border between Zhongping County and Kaiping County. The opposite is the Qin army. The five thousand soldiers under his command were originally from Chu, but after one after another, they were all from Ming people. Now, the Ming soldiers account for two-thirds of the soldiers in Baoqing Camp. Although the officers are basically from Chu, it is hard to say whether this army is the Chu army or the Ming army!

"Have you seen the Queen?" Qin Feng asked with a smile, and he was very polite to Jiang Shangyan.

"I've seen it. The Empress brought me letters from Chu State and many gifts from Chu State. Jiang Shangyan was very grateful." Jiang Shangyan nodded gently.

"Jiang Tao's current situation is a bit difficult. Has the Empress told you?" Qin Feng asked.

"I made an appointment to touch it." Jiang Shangyan frowned slightly, "At that time, General Jiang was going to take over as deputy general of the border army, I opposed it. Luo Liang was not someone who could tolerate others, and his strategy with General Jiang was obviously inconsistent. Luo Liang was the head coach, and General Jiang must be wearing small shoes. Now, it only confirmed my thoughts at the beginning. General Jiang had made up his mind and Cheng also supported him. The last general could only bear it. Now that the people of Qi were aiming at this point, General Jiang kept fighting hard. General Jiang was destined to be defeated, and Luo Liang would not send troops to restrain the Qi army for General Jiang. It was really frustrating to say."

"This is not Luo Liang's problem." Qin Feng said lightly.

"Who else isn't him?" Jiang Shangyan said angrily: "In this person's eyes, there is only personal fame and fortune, and he can see the rise and fall of the country."

"Luo Liang has such a personality. Doesn't Min Ruoying know?" Qin Feng said coldly: "I used this person as a general, but did not give the greatest support when the army was not good. Instead, Isn't this obviously indulging the opposition between the two sides? He wanted to stimulate Luo Liang, but the one who ended up suffering was Chu. Min Ruoying didn't even think about this clearly. It was really ridiculous. If the eastern border army in Chu had a big defeat in the near future, the initiator would be your Emperor."

Jiang Shangyan opened her mouth, but found that she could not argue. She could only sigh. Compared to the situation where the king and ministers on the Ming Dynasty were in harmony with each other, the generals were in harmony with each other, and the state of Chu was indeed like a bucket full of caves.

"Do you want to go back to Chu?" Qin Feng asked.

"I thought about going back to help General Jiang. Although Jiang didn't have much ability, there was no problem with charging into battle with both swords in his hand. However, whether it was General Jiang or Shuai Cheng, they all refused me and only let me stay in the Ming Dynasty." Jiang Shangyan said depressedly.

Qin Feng looked at the other party's look of being defeated and couldn't help but feel a little funny.

"Are you still used to living in the Ming Dynasty?"

"Nothing is used to!" Jiang Shangyan shook her head: "I left home and joined the army since I was young. I have always been wandering around. Now, I have just changed my place. When it comes to the military service, it is better to be with the Ming Dynasty. Your Majesty, I want to ask you something."

"Tell me!"

"The military now uses new money to pay, but the Chu army in Baoqing camp has no way to spend it with new money. Most of them still send money home through money houses. So I want to ask Your Majesty to allow it, and the Chu army in Baoqing camp still pays the money to pay."

"Okay, no problem. After you go on this matter, you will discuss it with Huo Guang of the Ministry of War."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Jiang Shangyan said happily.

"It doesn't matter. Once you pay the money, you can just go to Changlong Money House to transfer money back to Chu State." Qin Feng smiled and said, "Is this the matter?"

"Also, Pili Camp has a lot of good things, and I want to ask His Majesty to allocate a batch for our Baoqing Camp."

"This is a unified arrangement, and the equipment must be equipped, but the output is limited now. You haven't seen it. Even my suicide camp is not equipped yet? Wait, you will have everything." Qin Feng smiled.

After seeing off Jiang Shangyan, Qin Feng fell into deep thought. The special existence of Baoqing Camp was because he was in the environment at that time, and he could borrow all the power he could borrow. At that time, Baoqing Camp did play an extremely important role in the battle to take over the Yue Kingdom. But now, the status of Baoqing Camp has become increasingly embarrassing. The Ministry of War and the cabinet ministers have suggested many times that it would be better to send this alien in his nest away as soon as possible.
