Passerby's daily life

Chapter 253
The war came unexpectedly, but it was also expected.

In the early winter of Kangping 13, a small group of Tartars fled quickly after burning, killing and looting border villages.

Wu Zuo inspected the knife wound of the deceased, and there was no trace of Tatar or Oirat weapons. In the end, although it was determined that it was done by bandits, Susu was also in the barracks when he reported to Hong Sheng.

After hearing this, she knew that what was supposed to come had finally come.

Bhatraji did not expect that there was a "prophet" in Dachu, so when a small group of Tartars invaded the border again, they were caught.

But Susu would not have imagined that the leader of the Tatar border army was so shameless. He not only shirked responsibility, saying that the Tatars who went to the border to thresh grass were refugees, but also demanded that Da Chu return the materials looted from the "tribes" by the refugees. .

The refugees of Tatar are similar to the refugees of Dachu. These people are all displaced and have no tribe.

Perhaps the refugees in Dachu can still be resettled by the government, but in Tatar, the refugees represent those who have been abandoned by the gods, and even newborn children can spurn them.

But has anyone seen a refugee in a fur coat riding a tall horse, holding a precious Central Plains sword?
Not to mention anything else, you must know that swords and swords are strategic materials just like salt, iron and food.

If anyone caught smuggling these things at the border, it would be a serious crime against the Jiu Clan.

There are 50 people in this group of refugees, all of whom have a big knife or an iron sword, or even a dagger, all made in the Central Plains. These weapons alone are worth 800 taels of silver in the Central Plains, let alone in the Tatars. Tartar.

Hong Sheng firmly denied it, and urgently reported to the Northwest Capital Division. At the same time, Hamiwei's five thousand households were training troops on the border to suppress bandits.

Liu Dusi ordered martial law across the board after hearing the letter, but the emperor's oral order came from the capital.

It is said that His Royal Highness King Yong has already confessed to His Majesty the Emperor, and will severely punish the border refugees.

In the fall and winter of this year, Tatars suffered from natural disasters, and the emperor ordered a reduction of [-]% of Tatars' tribute.

My great Chu wants to show the demeanor of the heaven and the kingdom, not to be like a soldier, let alone initiate a war.

Not to mention how depressed the northwestern princes were, but had to withdraw their troops and return to camp, Liu Dusi could only increase the number and frequency of border patrols.

And Hong Sheng almost spit out a mouthful of blood, because King Ke also sent him a secret letter.

It is said that King Yong is going to cooperate with them now, the underground palace of the previous dynasty has been opened, and King Yong has not been assigned his share, so he will not do anything.

It is also said that this year's Tatar suffered a disaster, and the cooperation between Batraji and his horses in exchange for food and salt will increase by [-]%.

King Ke has many precious things in his hands, but there is not much silver. Now, no matter how many treasures there are, it is useless. He dare not exchange them for silver under the eyes of the emperor.

He managed the Song family to "borrow" 50 taels of silver, and Hong Sheng "borrowed" 20 taels, but for Hong Sheng's side, the letter came with two boxes of jewelry and antiques.

Hong Sheng naturally knew about the cooperation between King Ke and King Yong. Yang Wei's bodyguards used a lot of food and coarse salt to take away many war horses, and Hong Sheng still escorted them in private.

But now anyone with a discerning eye can see that Bhatraji is about to repent, and he actually agreed to his request for a [-]% increase. Hong Sheng even wondered whether King Ke was dazzled by the treasure from the former underground palace.

There is still 20 taels of silver, where can he find it?The only private money in his hand is the 50 taels of silver that Susu gave him every month.

And half of this month's money has been spent, and there are only 25 taels left all over the body.

Today's Hong Sheng can be regarded as a bit discerning, and the two boxes of "collateral" sent by King Ke are even 30 taels of silver.

But now these things are not suitable for eating or wearing, and they cannot be realized immediately even if they are sold.King Ke knew that Hong Sheng had no money, so he asked Susu to borrow it.

Because of the fur business led by Susu, even Ruan Shiniang and Miss Song Si had a stake in it, but what King Ke said, Susu didn't agree to invite Yang Wei's bodyguard to join the group.

King Ke could only watch the vain money flow by his eyes, but he still had to be a poor prince who didn't have enough money, and "lived" by the Song family with a shy face!
King Ke is different from his father, he is not so narrow-minded, but he holds grudges, and Susu offended him badly.

If Hong Sheng hadn't directly rejected the many beauties that King Ke rewarded, I'm afraid that the current bastards of the Hong Mansion would have given a big push.

Now that the prince has even sent the "collateral", Hong Sheng knew that Su Su had to agree even if he didn't agree this time!
……

In the bedroom, Susu looked at the two big boxes half a person tall, randomly picked up a fist-sized pink pearl, and said coldly: "It's such a big handwriting, this pearl is worth tens of thousands of taels of silver, What are you hiding from me?"

Hong Sheng was speechless for a while, "Susu, it's not good to know too much!"

Susu felt uncomfortable, and her face became more serious, "Yang Wei's bodyguard came to the northwest again at this critical juncture, with a large amount of grain, salt, cotton clothes and even a small amount of ironware, and you have to exchange thousands of war horses from which tribe in the Western Regions?" ?”

Hong Sheng looked at Susu in shock, "How do you know? Who else knows?"

Susu hooked the corners of her lips, not knowing whether she was mocking his ignorance or her own greed that underestimated people's hearts.

"You and King Ke have too much trust in the people of Yang Wei's Escort. Believe it or not, as soon as this batch of supplies reaches the border, there will definitely be border guards jumping out.

Then you will be accused of collaborating with the enemy and treason, Mantou and I will be beheaded for public display, and King Ke will probably be imprisoned.

He must be unwilling, and maybe he will follow his father's example and come to the side of the Qing emperor.

Then Bhatraji took advantage of the civil strife in Dachu and sent troops south. "

Hong Sheng was confused by what his wife said, daughter-in-law, when did you become a prophet?

Also, if you want to say something so scary, it also comes with sound effects!
Susu is naturally not a prophet, but because she knows the plot.

Although a good inspirational love drama was turned into the current mutual pit and kill drama by Butterfly, the direction has not changed.

Susu has always used the Twelve Guards of You Ye to deliver news. Even Shu Xin, who is a mantou martial arts master, was among the mouse guards.

Batraji's secret order to recruit Baturu from various tribes has been issued, and all the tribes will march south just waiting for his order.

There is also Bai Jasmine who followed King Ke to the capital. Susu doesn't believe in any "substitute" turning into "true love". The news came from the secret department of the Song family. Bai Jasmine has been trying to contact someone secretly. It can be seen that the capital is not safe anymore. !
Susu had revealed all these things to King Ke through the mouth of Seventh Sister, but he was stunned by the treasures of the previous dynasty, and even half-believed and suspicious of the Ruan family.

This caused Su Su to be greatly disappointed, and his stupid loyalty to Hong Sheng was becoming more and more unacceptable.

"If I say that your stupid loyalty will kill our family of three, will you continue?"

　No one asked me, do I have any secrets to tell you?
　　Hey, my husband hasn't got off work yet, and he has no food to eat, so he won't be happy!
