Everyone rode their horses and walked slowly on the street, only to see that the street was crowded with people, and the war horses were almost impossible to ride. In desperation, everyone had to dismount and walk towards the Yamen of the political envoy.

Liu Juntao looked at the street scenery along the way, only to see the high-rise buildings and many shops in the city of Jinan, and he also sighed at the prosperity here in his heart, and said secretly: "The Ming Dynasty was prosperous in commerce and trade, if it takes time, maybe it can really be transferred to the capital~ism economy!" ”

Liu Juntao, who has read the historical materials of later generations, knows that in fact, in the late Ming Dynasty, there were already sprouts of capital ~ ism in the provinces south of the Yangtze River, and large-scale workshops sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and craftsmen from all over the country also formed similar trade unions in general chambers of commerce, and even local mines also appeared similar trade union organizations.

It can be said that in the late Ming Dynasty, the "working ~ class" had begun to form, but the rudiments of these advances were interrupted by the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and China also fell into the abyss from the critical moment when it was about to forge ahead in Nirvana, and completely degenerated into a barbaric Tartar "colonization ~ civilian land", and degenerated from the embryonic stage of capitalism ~ ism into a slave society!

Now, since Liu Juntao has crossed into the orthodox years, he will never allow such a historical tragedy to be staged!

"Da Ming will definitely become extremely powerful under my efforts, so that all the Tartars will tremble and surrender at the feet of Huaxia!"

Just thinking about it, Liu Juntao and his entourage came to the Yamen of the Shandong Political Envoy Division, and after posting their names to the gatehouse, Liu Juntao asked Bai Yuxing to wait outside with fifty guards, and he followed the gatehouse inside.

At this time, the governor of Shandong, the political envoy, the envoy of the inspectorate, and the commander of the capital had all arrived in the yamen, and several people were talking about this great victory in quelling the chaos.

"Governor Li, this Liu Juntao has given us Shandong a long face, and when he comes, we have to win over him, so that Liu Juntao knows that we are all his superiors!"

Gu Yi, the political envoy of Shandong, said to Li Chengming, the governor of Shandong, and Li Chengming also smiled and nodded his head.

And Zhu Qiaozuo, the envoy of Shandong next to him, echoed frequently, saying: "The two adults are right, the dynasty still needs our civil officials to prosper, and the military attaché only needs to win the war, and when there is no war to fight, you must respect us!" ”

When it came to the word "respect", Zhu Qiaozuo, the envoy of Shandong, deliberately raised his voice, as if he was deliberately reminding others.

Shandong political envoy Gu Yi and Shandong governor Li Chengming saw that Zhu Qiaozuo was too straightforward, so they laughed awkwardly, and the three of them gossiped again.

And Xiang Qun, the commander of Shandong, was angry, obviously very dissatisfied with the words and deeds of the three people.

At this time, the power and rank of the governor of the Ming Dynasty in the provinces were not important, and the governor who held the military and political power of one province or even several provinces in the late Ming Dynasty was not the same.

Today's "Shandong Four" does not have an obvious distinction between superiors and subordinates, but is more like the Ming version of the separation of powers, the political envoy is in charge of civil affairs, and the inspector is in charge of supervision, both command the envoy in charge of the guards, and the governor of Shandong is to coordinate the three people, and at the same time play the role of supervision.

However, the discussion of Gu Yi, the political envoy of Shandong, Li Chengming, the governor of Shandong, and Zhu Qiaozuo, the envoy of Shandong, obviously made Xiang Qun, the commander of the capital, feel that the three of them had regarded themselves as subordinates who could be called and drunk, and they did not take themselves in their eyes at all!

Xiang Qun, who was angry in his heart, was about to find an opportunity to refute, when suddenly the porter reported: "Ladies and gentlemen, the new Yanzhou Mansion Counselor Liu Juntao has arrived and is waiting in the courtyard. ”

Gu Yi, the political envoy of Shandong, Li Chengming, the governor of Shandong, and Zhu Qiaozuo, the envoy of Shandong, looked at each other when they heard this, although the three of them wanted to draw Liu Juntao to their side as their right-hand man, but after all, Liu Juntao was in the limelight, and the three of them also had the intention of beating Liu Juntao.

So, Li Chengming, the governor of Shandong, said: "We still have important matters to discuss, so let's let General Liu wait in the courtyard for a while!" ”

On the side, Gu Yi, the political envoy of Shandong, and Zhu Qiaozuo, the envoy of Shandong, both smiled slightly, and were very satisfied with Li Chengming's arrangement.

However, Xiang Qun, the commander of the capital, immediately said: "General Liu Shen has come all the way here, how can you let the family wait in the courtyard?" I see if there is anything to talk about later, let's meet with General Liu first! ”

After speaking, Xiang Qun didn't care what the three of them reacted to, so he got up and walked towards the door, and turned out to be to greet Liu Juntao.

At the same time, the commander of the capital said to Xiang Qun: "Anyway, there is nothing serious to talk about now!" ”

At this time, Gu Yi, the political envoy of Shandong, Li Chengming, the governor of Shandong, and Zhu Qiaozuo, the envoy of Shandong, were all angry, but because of the difficulty of losing face, they all froze there.

Xiang Qun strode out of the lobby, only to see Liu Juntao standing straight in the courtyard, his armor was shining dazzlingly by the sun, and Liu Juntao was tall and strong, and he was the best among the people at a glance.

Xiang Qun saw it and immediately exclaimed: "Haha! What a 10,000-strong enemy! ”

Liu Juntao recognized Xiang Qun's official uniform, so he clenched his fists and said: "The last general has seen the commander of the envoy!" ”

"Haha! I am the commander of Xiang Qun, and General Liu does not have to be polite! ”

Xiang Qun picked up Liu Juntao and walked towards the lobby, and then said in a low voice: "Liu Shen will be careful, this Jinan Mansion is a fairy land!" Here, civil officials and military generals have always been at odds with each other, and it is common for each other to tear down the platform and dig up the wall. ”

Hearing this, Liu Juntao couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

At this time, the Ming Dynasty was far from being as noble and cheap as it was at the end of the Ming Dynasty, basically the civil and military status was equal, and the two sides checked and balanced each other.

However, from the court to the locality, the struggle between the civil and military has been going on for a long time, and it has even begun to develop in the direction of white-hot and bright-faced.

Even some scholars in later generations believe that the defeat of the Ming Civil Fort was a shocking conspiracy of the civil official group, in order to bury the Ming Wuxun group in a war, so as to completely control the authority of the Ming Dynasty!

Before Liu Juntao responded to Xiang Qun's words, the two had already walked into the lobby, and the three of them, including Gu Yi, the political envoy of Shandong, Li Chengming, the governor of Shandong, and Zhu Qiaozuo, the envoy of Shandong, couldn't help but sigh secretly when they saw Liu Juntao, which also strengthened the three of them to win over Liu Juntao.

Xiang Qun introduced Liu Juntao: "General Liu, this is Lord Gu, the political envoy of Shandong, this is Lord Li, the governor of Shandong, and this is Lord Zhu, the envoy of Shandong, I have seen three adults soon!" ”

Liu Juntao also hugged his fists one by one, and then Xiang Qun arranged for Liu Juntao to sit down, and he also returned to his seat.

At this time, Shandong Governor Li Chengming said with a smile: "General Liu Shen is dedicated to the public, and he rushed over so quickly, which is really an example for my Ming warriors!" I am deeply gratified with Lord Gu and Lord Zhu. ”

Gu Yi, the political envoy of Shandong on the side, also said: "But General Liu should not be too arrogant and arrogant, and in the future, he will work with Lord Xiang to protect the place for the country!" ”

"Haha!"

Shandong Inspector Zhu Qiaozuo smiled and said: "The two adults are right, General Liu will make persistent efforts, don't let us down, the three of us are full of expectations for General Liu!" ”

After listening to the words of the three people, Liu Juntao suddenly felt that the three of them regarded themselves as subordinates, and even regarded Xiang Qun, the commander of the capital, as if they were subordinates.

According to the economic system of the Ming Dynasty, Liu Juntao, who has been promoted to a general, is not subject to the control and dispatch of the Shandong locality, but directly obeys the orders of the military department and the Governor's Office of the Five Armies.

So, Liu Juntao clenched his fists and said: "Since you are a general, you must do your best for the country!" In the future, the Ministry of War and the Governor's Office of the Five Armies will have an order, and they will go to the soup and follow the order, please rest assured! ”

Liu Juntao's words were neatly spoken, and even a little hard, which made Gu Yi, the political envoy of Shandong, Li Chengming, the governor of Shandong, and Zhu Qiaozuo, the envoy of Shandong, very uncomfortable to hear, and at the same time, they also heard that Liu Juntao could not be commanded by himself.

So the three of them were a little unhappy in their hearts.

However, Xiang Qun, the commander of the capital, smiled happily and said loudly: "Okay! General Liu is right! Walk! I took General Liu to receive the farewell, and tonight I set up a banquet in the city to celebrate General Liu! ”

After speaking, Liu Juntao saluted Gu Yi, the political envoy of Shandong, Li Chengming, the governor of Shandong, and Zhu Qiaozuo, the envoy of Shandong, and followed Xiang Qun.
