A group of sailor generals and army generals in the Dongying Navy Division battalion were anxiously scratching their ears and cheeks, and they were talking about it.

On the one hand, Wei Bao gave sweet dates, promised to compensate, and promised to absorb some people, and on the other hand, he gave a knife, saying that he would attack tonight no matter what.

These people believed what Wei Bao said, because for three days in a row, the soldiers and horses of the governor of Haiphong, Yamen, came to attack every night.

And the fight was very fierce, and every time they killed at least a thousand people.

The most terrifying thing is that the hand cannon of the Governor of Haiphong, Yamen, is really terrifying.

They didn't know that it was called a grenade, and they all called this kind of shell that could be thrown and exploded called a hand cannon.

They estimated that there were tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in the Yamen, the governor of coastal defense, and if tens of thousands of people attacked at the same time, they would definitely not be able to resist it, and even if they could open a bloody way to escape, all this grain would definitely have to be burned.

"Burn the grain, break through, let's go to Jinan together!" An army general said.

"Confused, the grain is burned, none of us can survive, what if we go to Jinan? Can you beat Wei Bao's soldiers and horses? Do you really think we still have backup and supplies? One of the most qualified lieutenant generals sighed and said, "That's it, instead of being trapped in the beast, it's better to trust Wei Bao!" ”

These people actually don't have much fighting spirit, if it was the army of Jiannu on the other side, they would have surrendered a long time ago, but they met 'their own people', thinking that no matter how ruthless they are, there is a limit, so they are so grinding.

Wei Bao is also a dead horse as a live horse doctor, and he is not sure about persuading these Shandong troops to surrender, so he just gives it a try.

After more than half an hour, Wei Bao was almost impatient, and said loudly into the microphone: "I will give you one last stick of incense, this stick of incense is burned out, if you don't come out again, I will treat you all as a rebellion!" You, as well as your nine clans, are all rebellions, which are not tolerated by the Ming Dynasty! I tell you, even if I can't get along in the officialdom, if I hand over this script, your identity as a rebel will never change, and your nine clans will be destroyed! ”

"Master Wei, we won't resist!" The adjutant general of the naval division who had initially supported the surrender of Wei Bao took the lead in untying the saber at his waist, threw it to the ground, and strode out of the camp gate.

This lieutenant general had some appeal, and hundreds of his own soldiers immediately followed suit, and all threw away their weapons and walked out.

Some of the other sailors followed suit.

In less than a few minutes, all the sailors of the Shandong army surrendered to Wei Bao.

The army that helped the Dongying Navy Division and the big battalion to assist in the defense saw that the Navy Division had surrendered, so they no longer insisted.

Without using a stick of incense, half a pillar of incense was not reached, and people from several temporary camps in the vicinity came out outside the gate of the camp of the Dongying Water Division.

Wei Bao was overjoyed when he saw this, and smiled at Lin Wenbiao: "Do you still say that we can't beat 100,000 of them?" You don't have to fight at all, didn't you surrender yourself? ”

"Madman Tan shouldn't have fought so hard, maybe if we didn't fight them in the Dongying camp, we wouldn't have killed hundreds of people, and there were thousands of Shandong troops missing." Lin Wenbiao said.

"Madman Tan didn't do anything wrong, he didn't show our military might as soon as he came up, and they wouldn't have come to this point, and immediately notified Hou San to send someone to take over the Dongying Water Division camp, and all the nearby Shandong troops were gathered and reorganized on the spot, leaving 10,000 people, and the others were all distributed with food and land, and they were dismissed and resettled on the spot." Wei Bao said to Lin Wenbiao: "Pay attention, let the instructors at all levels of Hou San's army be responsible for these placement work, pay attention to attitude, and must not make trouble." ”

"Don't you transport them to southern Liaoning to do hard labor? I think it's good for Madman Tan to transport everyone to southern Liaoning before, once and for all. Lin Wenbiao admonished.

"There are not so many cheap things in the world, and others have to be willing to transport to southern Liaoning, and people who are transported to southern Liaoning also need to be resettled! There are at least more than 40,000 troops near the Dongying Water Division, all of which have been transported to southern Liaoning, what will these people think? If they feel that they have been wronged, so many people have passed over at once, and they are all from the army, aren't they making trouble for the local garrison headquarters in southern Liaoning? Then send people to southern Liaoning, and the local garrison in southern Liaoning will kill these people again? It's not about taking off your pants and farting. Wei Bao said angrily: "It's a shame that you've been with me for so long, tell the instructor in charge of the placement work that if someone is willing to go to southern Liaoning, it can also be arranged, but I don't think there will be many such people." ”

"Yes, people leave their hometowns, not as a last resort, no one wants to leave their hometowns. President: I went. Lin Wenbiao gave a military salute to President Wei and went to arrange it in person.

Lin Wenbiao can actually explain these things clearly to his subordinates and let his subordinates do it, but he knows that the stakes are very high, so he has to arrange them personally.

In the next three days, President Wei personally stayed in the Dongying Water Division Camp and watched the implementation of the resettlement work.

In addition, President Wei also personally met and chatted with all the generals and generals of the Shandong Army who were under control.

"I didn't lie to you, did I? In fact, most of you are not short of silver in your hands, but you are used to eating the vacancy of the imperial court, and you are reluctant to throw away this errand that can make a lot of money without labor. Wei Bao smiled: "If you really like to lead troops to fight, can really accept the regulations of my treasure army, and feel that you have the talent to lead soldiers, I will warmly welcome you to stay!" But being a soldier in our treasure army is a real soldier, and there are strict systems for training and conquest, and you all have to think about these. Otherwise, I would encourage you to go to the local area, do some business, and a few people get together to set up a workshop, or even a small factory. In the future, this area of Shandong will be invigorated, and the shipping will be carried out. Hejian Mansion, Cangzhou Mansion, Shandong and Denglai will become the most prosperous places in the north of Daming! ”

Nearly 100 Shandong army generals saw that although Wei Bao was only fifteen years old, he was not like a young man, but he spoke elegantly and politely, and he really couldn't associate Wei Bao with the killer demon king.

And Master Wei's magnanimity and temperament are modest, and he really looks like a person with a Tao.

Although Wei Bao was still only the official position of the fourth rank at this time, the people present were either the third-rank deputy general or the fourth-rank staff general, and they were also the battalion officers of each battalion again.

There is also a guardhouse.

The worst ones are also thousands of households.

The Wei Command Department includes one commander and three products, two commanders from the three products, four people from the four commands, and two people from the fifth rank. One person from the seventh grade, one person from the governor is the eighth grade, and one person from the ninth grade of the officer.

There are also ambassadors and deputy envoys in charge of the official warehouse, all of whom are not in the stream.

All the thousands of households are five products, two deputy thousand households are from five products, two people from six products, and ten people from 100 households are six products.

There are thousands of households in the local health center and thousands of households in Jinyiwei.

Now that he controls the Shandong Army, Wei Bao's temporary position for these hereditary generals is 10,000, and the amount he gets from the imperial court is 50,000 army and 10,000 sailors!

That is to say, some of the sailors and the vast majority of the army, Wei Bao will let people be re-selected from the Liaonan Garrison Command, and the vast majority of hereditary soldiers will be transferred, unless they have special military talents and especially want to stay in the army to serve.

While everyone admired Wei Bao very much, they all thought in their hearts, you are the one who wants to rebel, right?

They listened to Wei Bao's suggestion that the previous guard posts would be abolished in the future, and the army and naval divisions under the Yamen, the governor of coastal defense controlled by Wei Bao, would exist as field troops, and would be in charge of garrisoning, fighting, training, or doing some projects to help local construction, and would be completely separated from agricultural production.

Moreover, this army will be reorganized in the way of a treasure army, and such an army can be regarded as Wei Bao's personal private army.

However, now that these people see Wei Bao's intentions, they don't dare to make any trouble, and go to the court to collectively sue Wei Bao, which is even more daring, after all, they will have to live in this area in the future, unless they don't want to go back to their hometown.

They will weigh it themselves, and they will probably have figured out what is going on in Wei Bao's army, and it is estimated that they will have to fight for their lives, and they will have to be completely loyal to Wei Bao to stay.

Because the generals of the sailors are generally a little skilled, almost half of them expressed their willingness to stay, and the remaining half either wanted to go home to do some business, or wanted to get a boat and do some shipping business in the future.

Only a small number of generals in the army wanted to stay, and most of them knew that it would be difficult to meet the requirements of the Bao army, so they simply decided to return to their hometowns and become small landlords.

I thought it was a complicated reorganization, but it was completed by Wei Bao in less than ten days.

Now there is only one important town left in Shandong, Jinan.

There are still more than 20,000 soldiers and horses in Jinan City, these people are not Liu Yang's descendants, they are all after he learned that the Dongying camp was captured by Wei Bao, he quickly summoned the guards who were walking in Shandong and Denglai to Jinan City urgently to save his life.

Some of the soldiers and horses of the Dongying camp and the Dongying Navy Division camp are descendants of Liu Yangyao, but unfortunately, they are now all owned by Wei Bao.

"You are here to guard Jinan City! Jinan City is in our hands, we still have the weight to negotiate with Wei Bao, I will now go to Beijing to ask to see the nine thousand years old! Li Jingbai said to Liu Yang.

Liu Yang's face was gloomy, he had no idea, he never dreamed that Wei Bao's men and horses were so powerful, and he had captured the Dongying camp and the Dongying Navy Division camp in a few days, and he didn't expect that tens of thousands of his descendants would even bring food to him Wei Bao! Now that it's all over, what kind of chips are you talking about, what's the use of guarding Jinan City?

"Lord Governor, it's better to negotiate peace with Wei Bao, Wei Bao is here with the holy decree of the imperial court, and our people have already fought with his men, and the two sides are not at all one, and they can't fight." The right political envoy Wang Congyi said.

"Wang Congyi, what do you mean? You want to take refuge in Wei Bao and keep your position as the political envoy of the right side, don't you? Li Jingbai was furious when he heard this: "Tell you, Wei Bao's restructuring of Hejian Mansion, Cangzhou Mansion, Shandong and Denglai is from top to bottom, without omission, not only will there be no hereditary soldiers and horses in the future, there will be no military expenses from the imperial court, and the taxes and silver in various places will not be collected by the yamen at all levels, and all the power will be in the hands of him Wei Bao alone, so that everyone will drink the northwest wind?" All the money in the world was earned by Wei Bao alone, is there anything very good in the world? You run to Wei Bao's side, and Wei Bao will definitely pick you up and let you go home and farm. ”

"Master Li is angry, there is nothing wrong with going home to farm, seeing that Wei Bao is powerful, do we have to touch the stone with an egg?" Wang Congyi sighed.

"Dad, don't worry about going to Beijing, my brother and I are watching here." Li Jingbai's son Li Linsun said.

Li Hesun also said: "Dad, what my brother said is right, only nine thousand years old can speak effectively at the moment, it seems that Wei Bao relies on His Majesty's favor and trust, and he is indeed arrogant!" ”

Wang Congyi whispered to Liu Yangyao: "General Liu, now you don't have many people in your hands, how can you fight against Wei Bao with just 20,000 soldiers and horses and an empty city in Jinan?" Wei Bao is now rectifying in Dongying Daying, I estimate that he will come to Jinan in three or five days, and then he wants to talk to Wei Bao, but he will be passive. ”

Liu Yang's mind was very confused, nodded impatiently, and did not respond to Wang Congyi.

Wang Congyi sighed and simply remained silent.

Li Jingbai discussed with the political envoys for a while, and he was even more uneasy, he was worried that as soon as he left on the front foot, these people on the back foot would give the city and soldiers and horses to Wei Bao, and at that time, he would have no place in Shandong at all.

All this, Li Jing, the daughter of Li Jingbai in the back hall, can see it clearly.

"Dad, are you going to the capital today?" Li Jing waited for her father to ask as soon as she arrived in the back hall.

"Well, if you don't leave today, I'm afraid it'll be too late! I have to be 9,000 years old! If the nine thousand years old also supports Wei Bao, then it can only be like this, if the nine thousand years old does not support Wei Bao, everything will still have a turnaround. Li Jingbai said to Li Jing.

Before the Ming Dynasty, there was no concept of "Shandong Province".

The word "Shandong" was first used as an administrative division concept, starting from the Jin Dynasty, when the two administrative divisions of "Shandong East Road" and "Shanxi East Road" were together, which is roughly similar to the current jurisdiction of Shandong Province, and the two are independent of each other and are not a whole, Qingzhou is located in Shandong East Road, not the administrative center of Shandong East Road and Shandong East Road.

In the Yuan Dynasty, the current Shandong region and the current Hebei, Shanxi, Beijing, Tianjin and other places belong to the same "Zhongshu Province" management, itself is not a province, Qingzhou is naturally not the center of Shandong Province!

It was not until the Ming Dynasty that the establishment of the Shandong Political Envoy Department had the rudiments of its jurisdiction and management system in Shandong Province, and the provincial capital was Jinan, not Qingzhou.

Historically, Qingzhou City is the center of "Qidi", but not the center of "Qilu".

Shandong is collectively called "Qilu Land", but Qi and Lu are not a whole in history.

Shandong can be roughly bounded by Mount Tai, the north of Mount Tai is the east of Qidi, the south of Mount Tai is the west of Ludi, the two historically belong to different administrative districts, even in the ancient "ancient Kyushu" division, the "Qingzhou" where the Qi land is located, and the "Yanzhou" where the Lu land is located, is not in the same area, even if the current Qingzhou City is the center of the Qi "Qingzhou (ancient Kyushu)", it is not the center of the "Yanzhou" of the Lu land.

Don't confuse the concept of Qingzhou (ancient Kyushu, equivalent to a province), Qingzhou (equivalent to a prefecture-level city), Qingzhou City, or Yidu County (that is, a county).

The word "Qingzhou" has some different meanings in different historical periods in history, and it is impossible to simply confuse the ancient Kyushu "Qingzhou" and Qingzhou Mansion in history!

After Shandong was established as a province in the Ming Dynasty, why was the provincial capital set up in Jinan? And not Yidu County, the capital of Qingzhou?

This is because Shandong Province established by the Ming Dynasty includes Qi and Lu in the north and south of Mount Tai, and the location of Jinan is just enough to take into account the management of the two places; At the same time, Jinan's proximity to the confluence of the Yellow River and the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal is conducive to dealing with the two major issues that the dynasties must face, namely "river control" and "Cao Yun".

Therefore, Li Jingbai felt that as long as he held Jinan City, everything was still possible.

"Dad, why don't I go find Wei Bao?" Li Jing said suddenly.

"You're going to Wei Bao? Do? Li Jingbai looked at her daughter puzzled.

Li Jingfen's face flushed, "First of all, I'll explore Wei Bao's intentions and see if my father has the possibility of taking refuge in Wei Bao." Secondly, I went to find Wei Bao in person, and I can also delay the time when Wei Bao brought troops to Jinan, I am your daughter, I went in person, Wei Bao will not be too hostile, right? I'm just a woman, and I don't bring soldiers with me. ”

Li Jingbai understood what her daughter meant, and couldn't help but be silent.

Li Jingbai is a person with a certain ability, in the forty-first year of Wanli, the first Xiajin County Commander, at the beginning of his tenure to visit the elders of Zhuli, knowing that the people of the Yellow River are very bitter, the sand does not harvest crops, and the tax is not a lot, he decisively pardons the sand tax, totaling 270 taels per year. Set up a monument of "Removing the Shatian", and the people were grateful.

Later, Li Jingbai was promoted to the governor of Shandong, in the original history, Li Jingbai did not have Wei Bao's play, and his career was smooth, because he was Wei Zhongxian's person, and after this year, he would be promoted to the Imperial History of the Right Governor of the Imperial Palace, the Young Master of the Prince, and the Secretary of the Military Department.

In March of the first year of Chongzhen, Li Jingbai was impeached by the Donglin Party because he had built a shrine for Wei Zhongxian, and burned incense to congratulate "Yao Tian is towering, and the emperor is difficult to name".

After Chongzhen came to power, Li Jingbai was dismissed as a prisoner, beaten as a common man in a few years, and then died.

People who didn't end up very well.

"Dad, how's it going?" Li Jing asked.

"The solution is a way, but you are a woman, and you have already made a marriage with Liu Yangyao, you ran to find Wei Bao at this time, do you want to be famous? If I want to give in to Wei Bao, why should I go to the capital to find the nine thousand years old this time? Li Jingbai said: "You just stay in Jinan City and wait for your father to come back!" No matter what 9,000 years old means, it should protect me. ”

Li Jing nodded and said, "Do it according to Daddy's wishes." ”

Li Jing also understands what it means for a woman to go to Wei Bao, although she can show favor to Wei Bao, but her reputation is over, and it will also make people feel that her father is too inflammatory, and whoever is strong will take refuge in whom.

But according to Li Jing's current judgment, Wei Bao is indeed very powerful, but few people have the strength to make so many big moves in Shandong, and tens of thousands of Shandong troops will collapse in Wei Bao's hands.
