Yangzhou Prefecture, the north bank of the Yangtze River. High quality update

Liu Tichun and Dang Shousu were stationed separately on both sides of the canal. Once there were police in the canal, they could launch a pincer attack immediately and eliminate a small number of enemy troops. If the enemy was strong, they could also defend the camp. Because there was still a long distance between the two divisions, the enemy would find it difficult to seize these two bridgeheads for a while, so the Ming army that was reinforced by the other side would not fall into the dilemma of no safe landing location available; if the enemy was stronger, they would retreat under the cover of the navy depending on the situation.

However, because Deng Ming had a lot of eyeliners on the canal and could even get first-hand intelligence information from Huai'an, the main force of the Qing army was unlikely to appear suddenly near Yangzhou, so Liu Tichun and Dang Shousu's deployment was just in case: if Lin Qilong suddenly turned against each other, the Qing army in Shandong sent an army to attack at high speed, and the eyeliners on the canal were not promptly warned due to numerous reasons, the Ming army would not lose threat and control of the Yangzhou area all at once because of carelessness.

Liu Tichun's camp is located on the west side, located upstream of the canal entrance, because Deng Ming felt that Liu Tichun was more reliable and could better withstand the temptation of a large number of canal ships passing by. Dang Shousu was arranged in the downstream direction, just like Liu Tichun, and it was twenty miles away from the canal entrance. In this way, although the Party Committee could see the busy scene at the canal entrance from afar, it was still very vague. Although the Committee agreed to the fine rules, everyone felt that swaying meat buns in front of the hungry people was a very cruel act, so they agreed to put Dang Shousu in this position. Although Dang Shousu was on the north shore, he did not see the passing grain ships and silver ships as well as the silver ships in Zhenjiang, Wang Guangxing and Ma Tengyun, it was more difficult to walk twenty miles to grab the canal ships than to cross the river. In short, the Committee regarded Dang Shousu as the biggest internal unstable factor.

"Why do you look down on others so much?" When I think of everyone's prejudice against themselves, Dang Shousu was angry: "Isn't it because I'm outspoken and my voice is the loudest every time I divide things. Admiral Deng (after leading the party to the south of the Yangtze River, he unknowingly stopped calling Deng Ming by name) When I was unhappy, I was the first to represent everyone, and I was the first to move Admiral Deng's ivory back home? Ma Tengyun and Wang Guangxing sometimes did what I did. Every time I took the lead, someone might support me. Why don't they put them here and insist on putting me here?"

Dang Shousu, who is determined to make others admire, has strict requirements on his subordinates. He does not go to the warehouse to count money and grain, but spends this time studying, just sits in a tent and listens to the master reading "Spring and Autumn". I heard that Guan Erye, who is shocked by ancient and modern times, does not like counting silver but likes to read this book. High-quality updates

When the messenger walked to the door, he heard a sound of snoring inside, mixed with the sound of chanting.

The unpredictable messenger did not shout, but walked into the camp directly. The master shook his head and read the book. Although he did not stop immediately when he saw the messenger coming in, he kept his original speed and read a few more words, and then sighed with unfulfilled pleasure: "Okay!"

After reluctantly putting down the book in his hand, the master looked at the commander: "Is there anything wrong?"

"Yeah." The messenger nodded. Since General Party changed his leisure time from inspecting the grain warehouse to studying, General Party, who had been extremely energetic, has become a sleepy bug that cannot wake up every day. After camping on the north bank, almost every time he came to report, he could hear the general's snoring and the chanting of his master in sing. Moreover, at this time, the general slept very sweetly, and he could not wake him up without yelling at his ears.

"Two canal ships have just floated near our army camp." The messenger reported in a low voice. After the sun set, two suspicious canal ships floated down from the upstream. They were stopped by Ming soldiers who were performing alert missions and searched their ships.

The two ships were filled with grain and silver, as well as some local products from Jiangxi carried by the canal transport soldiers, and there was no hidden Qing soldiers or anything that could be used to cause fire.

"Why did they come here?" The master's first reaction was also a fraud. The two canal ships would not drift twenty miles along the river. How could the Qing army not rescue ships loaded with money and food? Besides, since these two ships can restore control in front of Dang Shousu's military camp, they can also stop the ship in an upstream position. High-quality update

However, the Ming army sentries searched the entire ship and found no suspicious points. They still remembered Dang Shousu's explanation, that is, they must not be snatched the canal ships; they felt that it was strange and unwilling to release people, and were limited to military orders, so the officers on duty sent people to ask for instructions.

"Well, I'll go and have a look with you." The master knew that since the officers and soldiers on duty had such great suspicion, they must have checked it carefully, so he felt that they could only release people - this was not a big deal, and the master could make the decision for the general. In fact, if it weren't for the Qing army's plan to attack and just a simple accident, there was no need for the officers on duty outside to send someone to ask for instructions - but before the order was given, the master changed his mind and decided to go around himself and observe the expressions of the Qing army.

"What silver?" The answer between the division and the messenger was interrupted by a silence. They heard the sound and looked at the central army. Seeing that Dang Shousu had woken up in some unknown way, they were looking up: "I really want to hear you talking about silver, and food. What's wrong with my silver?"

"The general's money is fine." The master hurriedly asked Dang Shousu to rest assured.

After explaining the whole story again, Dang Shousu pondered for a moment and said resolutely: "I'll go and see it myself."

Putting on his cloak, Dang Shousu strode out of the tent, the master followed him closely, and the guards followed one after another, raising torches to shine around Dang Shousu.

When they walked to the riverside, the generals on duty who had already received the news escorted all the Qing soldiers over. Most of the Qing soldiers were isolated far away. Only one of the leaders was taken to Dang Shousu by the vigilant Ming army and knelt on the ground to answer Dang Shousu's questions.

As I said just now, the Qing army said that one of the ships was out of control at the canal estuary, and another ship trying to rescue was dragged downstream by it, and they were all involved in the river. It was not until not far from the Ming army camp that it was restored, and then it was intercepted by Dang Shousu's water camp clutch and brought back to the riverside.

"I'll go on the boat to take a look." Dang Shousu waved his hand and jumped onto the canal ship with his rank and a few personal soldiers. Although it was night, the silver bars still emitted an attractive light, and the layers of wrapping could not completely block the rice fragrance emitted by the new rice.

"The rice I just harvested is really good." Dang Shousu took a deep breath, and a hint of intoxication appeared on his face. He grabbed a few silver bars and played with them for a while, and then gently put all but one back.

Holding the last silver bar, Dang Shousu jumped back to the shore: "Bring that boss here."

The leader of the Qing army who was escorting money and grain was brought over again. Dang Shousu looked up and down and showed a sarcastic smile on his face: "What kind of grain ship will not separate the silver and grain, but mix together?"

"This is how we all load ships in Jiangxi." The Qing soldiers nodded and said.

"Fart!" Dang Shousu cursed with a smile: "Although I have never robbed the canal ship, I also know that there are silver ships and grain ships. This is clearly a way to shake my eyes with money and grain."

After saying that, Dang Shousu lowered his head and looked at the silver bar deeply for the last time, then waved it hard and threw it back onto the ship: "You were sent by the Admiral, are you? Go back and tell the Admiral, no need to test it, I'm not polite if I come again."

After saying that, Dang Shousu ordered, "Catch these guys who pretend to be Qing soldiers back to the ship!"

Dang Shousu's soldiers agreed in unison, and they beat the Qing soldiers and fled back to the ship.

Seeing the two canal boats pulling their anchors and slowly sailing upstream in the night, Dang Shousu snorted: "Will it be so easy to punish me for money? I will do what I say and will never drag everyone down."

After returning to the tent with the master, the master picked up the book "Spring and Autumn Annals" and wanted to continue to recite it to Dang Shousu.

"Wait!" Dang Shousu raised his right hand to stop his master's actions. He reached into his arms with his left hand, touched his lower abdomen that was rapidly developing in a soft and smooth direction, and smiled bitterly at his master: "Learn "Spring and Autumn" again, I will be useless."

"What did the boss miss?" The master didn't force himself. According to his experience, Dang Shousu would fall asleep within a hundred words. For so many days, the general had been wandering around this place at the beginning.

"Master teaches me to draw." Dang Shousu was sure that he could not learn from Master Guan Er, but there was Master Zhang San. I heard from Master Zhang San that Master Zhang was good at painting, especially at painting ladies - beauties, so we also like it.

...

"Didn't it mean that Dang Shousu is a rude man and is particularly greedy for money? Didn't it mean that thieves are all simple-minded thieves?" A few miles upstream of Dang Shousu's camp, ten canals were stopped. The two who had just been to the Ming army camp did not return to the canal, but came here to meet with their companions.

These canals and escorts were soldiers with no combat experience. They felt that their statement that they were swept downstream by the river was flawless, but they didn't expect that the Ming army would not believe it from patrol soldiers to commanders. Fortunately, the ship was really good for canal transportation, so although the Ming army even sent water ghosts to touch the bottom of the ship, they did not find any threats.

"What should I do now?" asked a small leader. These people were escorting the canal ship all the way. Although the silver mountain was within reach, it was unimaginable and had to suppress this greed in my heart.

Seeing the Ming army camp stationed in Yangzhou, these people's minds became active again. The Ming army is so close to the canal, obviously there is an attempt to cut off the canal. And even if there are concerns and tacit understanding, the money will not be moved when it is put in front of you.

These officers and soldiers did not have any careful plans, just planned to use the lies they made up just now to let Dang Shouwei eat two ships of money and food, and then they reported all ten ships to lose.

"It's time to come--" The leader gritted his teeth and the plan was exposed. If everyone was not allowed to make money, there would definitely be someone who would go to inform him: "There is only one thing to do, and the other is not to stop."
