Yushan Town.

When Liu Juntao led five hundred iron horsemen and the main forces of the shogunate of Shandong Town to Yushan Town, it was already crowded with people.

Yushan Town, which was already overcrowded, was even more crowded at this time.

Officials from Yanzhou Mansion, Dongping Prefecture, Dong'e County and other surrounding prefectures and counties, the people who came within a radius of 100 miles from Yushan Town, the villagers in Yushan Town, and even Yan Shenggong sent Mr. Shan to come, all of whom came to see off Liu Juntao.

Outside Yushan Town, Liu Juntao led a large group of men and horses to stay on the official road, looking at the camp of the Longxiang Army, the Yingyang Army, the Tiger Ben Army, and the Changshui Army that stretched for several miles, Liu Juntao's heart was surging.

At this time, Yan Hu, the general of the Eagle Yang Army, Sun Xu, the general of the Tiger Army, Zhou Zongsheng, the general of the Changshui Army, and many guerrilla generals of the three armies saluted Liu Juntao.

Seeing this, Liu Juntao suddenly felt as if his eyes were fascinated by something, not only was he proud in his heart, but he also had an urge to cry!

Hu Dexing, the new chief soldier of Shandong Town, and Zhang Xiaojun, the deputy chief soldier, who accompanied Liu Juntao, were also excited.

Moreover, both of them are also full of emotion.

It has been eleven years since Liu Juntao came to Yushan Town!

Now Zhang Xiaojun and Hu Dexing still remember the first time they saw Liu Juntao, no one could have imagined that the Yushan assembly of that year, under the leadership of Liu Juntao, would become today's prosperous Yushan Town, and the childish boy who was full of childish face will grow into a commander of thousands of troops today, and will lead everyone to make such a meritorious achievement today, bringing such dazzling glory to everyone!

Zhang Xiaojun thought in his heart that if there was no Liu Juntao, he might have been a township leader in Yushanji in his life, and even when he came to Yushan Bandit Village or the Wang family to make trouble, he and the villagers in Yushanji were already dead!

Hu Dexing also secretly thought that if he hadn't met Liu Juntao, maybe he would be a small chief flag officer in Slip Town until he died, where would he have the glory of being a chief military officer today?

Thinking of this, Hu Dexing and Zhang Xiaojun's eyes were full of admiration and gratitude when they looked at Liu Juntao, and they also felt that they were full of strength, even if they were desperate, they had to defend Shandong for Liu Juntao!

At this time, Liu Juntao had already met with the representatives of all parties who came to see him off, and after saying a lot of words, Liu Juntao ordered the officers and men of the Long Xiang Army, the Yingyang Army, the Huben Army, and the Changshui Army to bury pots and cook food around the camp, and treat the people from all over the country who came to see him off.

Then, Liu Juntao, surrounded by all parties, entered Yushan Town, and prepared to hold a feast in Yushan Town at night to treat all the people who came to him.

That night, Liu Juntao held a banquet at the home where he lived before, and more than 50 tables were set up, and hundreds of people, including Mr. Shan, attended the banquet.

After Liu Juntao settled Guo Muying's mother and son, he came to the banquet and talked with everyone.

People from all walks of life, especially the heroes and gentry from all over Shandong, toasted Liu Juntao one after another, and they were extremely enthusiastic, so that Bai Yuxing and Tao Jixin, who were protecting Liu Juntao on the left and right, were furious, and finally Bai Yuxing hurriedly found three soldiers with good alcohol to block the wine for Liu Juntao, and then sent Liu Juntao back to the main table.

The reason why everyone is so enthusiastic is that they are sincerely reluctant to let Liu Juntao leave, and they want to thank Liu Juntao in person for taking everyone to seek wealth and prosperity over the years, and secondly, everyone wants to continue to work with Liu Juntao and bring enough money to Shanxi.

Where would Liu Juntao not know this?

After returning to the main table, Liu Juntao announced in public that after he had sorted out all the affairs in Shanxi, he would let the Ministry of Commerce and the Ministry of Civil Affairs start a new policy in Shanxi in an all-round way, and Shanxi would become the second Shandong!

At that time, as long as you are a good person in the Ministry of Commerce and the Ministry of Civil Affairs, you can get relatively preferential treatment, and you can go to Shanxi to do business and develop your strength!

As soon as these words came out, the hundreds of people present suddenly boiled, and they all gathered to toast Liu Juntao, Bai Yuxing and Tao Jixin, who were harmed, blocked left and right, and several soldiers around them were busy sweating, and finally three soldiers were directly drunk to the ground.

This night, the crowd was lively until the second half of the night.

As soon as Liu Juntao returned to the study, Liu Zi'an walked in.

"Is Mr. Shan gone?"

Liu Zi'an said with a smile: "Mr. Shan hasn't left yet, it seems that he wants to see the governor alone." ”

"Let Mr. Shan in."

"Don't you need to take a break? Tomorrow we're on our way. ”

"No, you don't."

Liu Juntao smiled bitterly and said, "We don't have enough time, let's be energetic!" ”

After a while, Mr. Shan walked in and said, "Disturb Liu Duxian's rest, sin, sin!" ”

Liu Juntao laughed and said: "Mr. Shan, don't be so polite, we are all old acquaintances, and we have been friends for more than ten years, so it's just a coat to say this." ”

Although Liu Juntao said this, Mr. Shan still saluted, and then sat down under Liu Juntao's signal and said some heart-to-heart words to Liu Juntao.

Then Liu Juntao asked, "How is Yan Shenggong doing lately?" ”

"Excellent! However, when Yan Shenggong heard that Du Xian was going to Shanxi to take up his post, he was anxious for a while. ”

"Haha!"

Liu Juntao said with a smile: "What is Yan Shenggong anxious about?" ”

"Naturally, I am reluctant to supervise the constitution."

Liu Juntao looked at Mr. Shan, who was polite, and sighed slightly in his heart, as he was promoted to the governor of Shanxi, his status changed, and Mr. Shan's attitude towards his emperor also changed.

Liu Juntao understands that even if Mr. Shan is still honest to himself, it is impossible for him to speak as freely as before.

So, Liu Juntao said: "Mr. Shan, we are all old acquaintances, I don't know what Yan Shenggong thinks about my transfer to the post of governor of Shanxi this time?" ”

Mr. Shan pondered for a moment and said, "It can be said that it is difficult for the Governor to take up his post this time. ”

"Oh? What do you mean by that? ”

Mr. Shan said: "Duxian went north this time, he must establish a system similar to Shandong in Shanxi, but now the merchants in Shanxi have a lot of strength, and they do business with the Mongols outside the Saiwai, and they also have a lot of guards, it is said that some businessmen with a large number of people are gathering thousands of people, such businessmen can be said everywhere in Shanxi, so I will say that it is difficult for Duxian to go!" ”

After listening to this, Liu Juntao bowed his hand, and understood that it was not easy for Mr. Shan to speak to this point at this time.

The Ministry of Intelligence had also been involved in the information mentioned by Mr. Shan, and had compiled these circumstances into a separate book and reported them to Liu Juntao.

So for these situations, Liu Juntao already has some confidence in his heart.

So Liu Juntao said; "Thank you Mr. Shan for reminding me, I'll pay more attention!"

Then, Liu Juntao asked again: "I don't know what else the Holy Father of Yan has commanded?" ”

Mr. Shan smiled slightly, shook his head, and did not speak.

Liu Juntao naturally understood the meaning, so he said: "Please tell Yan Shenggong after Mr. Shan goes back, after I gain a foothold in Shanxi, what kind of preferential conditions Yan Shenggong occupies in Shandong, the same is true in Shanxi!" ”

Mr. Shan was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately said: "In this way, then I will thank the Governor!" ”

Early the next morning, Liu Juntao led more than 73,000 soldiers from the four armies of the Longxiang Army, the Yingyang Army, the Huben Army, and the Changshui Army to set out from the camp.

If you add the thousands of men and horses accompanying the various departments of the shogunate, Liu Juntao led a total of about 80,000 troops this time, and marched towards Shanxi.

At the time of parting, Liu Juntao first resigned to Mr. Shan, and then instructed Hu Dexing, the chief soldier of Shandong Town, and Zhang Xiaojun, the deputy chief soldier, to manage Shandong Town well and never relax.

At the same time, Liu Juntao did not forget to instruct Hu Dexing and Zhang Xiaojun to take good care of the newly established Dongping Island Navy, and not only to support it in manpower, but also to give full support in matters such as money and food.

In this regard, Hu Dexing and Zhang Xiaojun also agreed.
