After the army entered the city, the whole Kuagong parade lasted for more than two hours, and it was not until the evening of this day that the army drove out of the south gate of Yanzhou Mansion and set up a large camp four miles outside the south gate.

After that, Liu Juntao took Liu Zi'an and Zhang Yuqing back to the general military palace in the city.

Leading the army to go on the expedition for such a long time, there has been a lot of backlog of affairs in the General Army's Mansion, and Liu Juntao must take care of all these affairs before going to Jinan Mansion.

After returning to the General Soldier's Mansion, Liu Juntao first got together with Guo Muying's mother and son for a while, and also checked the studies of his eldest son Liu Guodong, and the family was happy together, which made Liu Juntao feel very comfortable.

In the middle of the night, Guo Muying's mother and son had already fallen asleep, but Liu Juntao came to the study to deal with military affairs.

At the same time, Liu Zi'an and Zhang Yuqing did not rest, and the two went directly to the government offices of the Investigation Department and the Praise and Painting Department, and began to sort out the information during the expedition with the army, and deal with the backlog of affairs during the expedition with the army.

For several days, the general military palace was closed, and Liu Juntao summoned all the officials above the division of the military department, the civil department, the exploration department, the commerce department, and the praise and painting department to deal with affairs (Tang Yu and even Datong), and prepared to concentrate on the various affairs of the abolition of Yanzhou Town and the establishment of Shandong Town.

During this period, Liu Juntao focused his main energy on military affairs, mainly considering the deployment of the army after the establishment of Shandong Town, as well as the restructuring of the military system, troops, and equipment.

In this battle to support Datong Town, Liu Juntao also felt that the allocation of troops in the army was somewhat insufficient.

In the case that the bird gun is equipped with a bayonet, and the bird gun hand can already form a white-knuckle battle, the long knife hand in the army is already very weak.

Although in hand-to-hand combat, the combat power of the long knife hand is stronger than that of the bird gunner, but now the firepower of the army has surpassed the entire Ming Dynasty, and the soldiers can completely rely on the absolute firepower advantage to inflict heavy damage on the enemy before the hand-to-hand combat, so with the bayonet can meet the current battlefield situation.

Therefore, Liu Juntao deliberately removed the long knife hand in the army, built the soldiers and horses under his command into an all-firearms army, and equipped the army with new firearms that had been tested and qualified by the Yushan Town Military Bureau.

Of course, these also need to be realized step by step in the process of the abolition of Yanzhou Town and the establishment of Shandong Town.

A few days later, the backlog of affairs and the affairs of the abolition of Yanzhou Town and the establishment of Shandong Town were basically dealt with, and Liu Juntao also breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, Gu Quan, the governor of Yanzhou Prefecture, and Song Er, the commander of the city guard, successively sent people to send a post, both of them wanted to feast Liu Juntao, and it seemed that they were preparing to have a good relationship with Liu Juntao.

It's no wonder that now Liu Juntao is the chief military officer of the seal, although he is still the general rank, but the defense area is no longer a place, but the entire Shandong political envoy (except for the Liaodong region), and he was also awarded the martial arts, and the army was also named by the emperor, such glory and status, how could Song Er and Gu Quan not come to the knot?

However, Liu Juntao was not very concerned about such a banquet, and originally did not plan to go, but Lan Siqi, the minister of praise and painting, said: "It is better to go to the banquet in the general town, although we will move to Jinan Mansion in the future, but we must also garrison troops in Yanzhou Mansion, and it is still necessary to have a good relationship with Ren Chengwei and Yanzhou Mansion, at least not to fight evil!" ”

Liu Juntao also nodded, and even took Lan Siqi to the banquet together.

Song Er and Gu Quan should have discussed, among the two, Song Er put the banquet at noon, while Gu Quan put the banquet at night, so that there would be no conflict between the two.

On this day, Liu Juntao rushed to two banquets in a row, during which Song Er and Gu Quan were also accompanied by their own generals and civil officials, and everyone was very stammering with Liu Juntao.

Although Liu Juntao, the chief military officer, can't control the city guard and the yamen of Yanzhou Mansion, Liu Juntao, the chief military officer of Shandong, is in power after all, and it is good to make friends with one more local general, not to mention that Liu Juntao, the chief military officer, can be said to be the chief military officer with the largest gold content in the Ming Dynasty!

After the two banquets at noon and evening, Liu Juntao was also slightly drunk, and returned to the General Military Mansion late at night.

But when Liu Juntao just returned to the side hall and was about to drink some hangover soup, Guo Muying came in and said with a smile: "Husband, this day is really busy!" ”

"Of course!"

Liu Juntao said with a smile: "It's just that I snubbed Mrs." ”

Guo Muying glanced at Liu Juntao: "It's good that the husband knows." Also, Mr. Shan from the Confucian Mansion is here, and he is now waiting in the lobby, husband, go quickly, don't let Mr. Shan wait for a long time. ”

Liu Juntao also hurried over when he heard this, and saw that Mr. Shan was drinking tea in the lobby, so he said with a smile: "Mr. came to visit late at night, it seems that there is something important!" ”

Mr. Shan smiled and said, "It's not a big deal!" It's just that I heard that General Liu returned triumphantly, and Yan Shenggong asked me to come to congratulate him. ”

Then, Mr. Shan continued: "It's just that I expected that Mr. Liu must have been very busy these days, so I came to the door now, and I ask Mr. Liu not to be surprised!" ”

"Where! Where! ”

Then, Mr. Shan said some congratulatory words, Liu Juntao also inquired about the recent situation of Yan Shenggong, and the two also mentioned Lei Bai and Li Qianhu in Guangxi.

After talking for a long time, Mr. Shan pondered for a while and said, "Mr. Liu, when I came, Yan Sheng Gong had something to say to me, let me convey it on my behalf." ”

Liu Juntao's face suddenly became solemn when he heard this, and Yan Shenggong specially asked Mr. Shan to come to the door to pass the word, there must be something important, so he said: "Mr. Shan, please speak, I will listen to you!" ”

"General soldier Liu, this time the army returned triumphantly, and the whole court was full of joy, but General soldier Liu must not think like this, but must walk on thin ice and be cautious everywhere!"

Liu Juntao frowned slightly and asked, "Dare to ask Mr. Shan, did Yan Shenggong hear something?" ”

Mr. Shan did not answer directly, but said: "Although General Liu's official position has not been promoted, he has hung the general's seal, has martial arts, and has scattered ranks, and the army has been given the name of Tiance by His Majesty, and this is the supreme glory!" Now General Liu and his generals are not just martial artists, but martial artists! The appearance of so many martial artists has changed the pattern of the DPRK and China, and it is estimated that the civilian forces in the DPRK and China have begun to feel uneasy! ”

Hearing this, Liu Juntao had already understood.

After the Tumubao Incident, the military forces in the DPRK and China were dealt a devastating blow, and the DPRK and China were also dominated by civilian officials.

But now that Liu Juntao and his generals have come out, and many martial generals have appeared, although they are only stationed in the locality, the only remaining martial arts forces in the DPRK and China will also swell, and the civilian forces that have just gained power will not give up?

"In this way, my brothers and I are already involved in the power struggle between the DPRK and China!"

Mr. Shan nodded and continued: "It is estimated that Your Majesty is also trying to balance the forces of the DPRK and China, and does not want the civilian forces to dominate!" And ......"

Speaking of this, Mr. Shan couldn't help but pause, and then continued: "Moreover, Your Majesty should also have the intention of wooing General Liu!" ”

"Woo me?"

Liu Juntao couldn't help but smile dumbly, and said: "I'm just a general soldier, and the general soldiers of the Ming Dynasty are not hundreds, but dozens, how can Your Majesty win over a small role like me?" ”

"Because your soldiers and horses are the strongest in the Ming Dynasty!"

Mr. Shan said very seriously: "Mr. Liu, this time is different from the past!" You must have heard of the matter between His Majesty and the Emperor, in the future, if the conflict between the two develops on the battlefield, Liu Zongbing, you are Your Majesty's hole card! ”

Hearing this, Liu Juntao was really a little scared in his heart, he won a battle, not only involved himself and his brothers in politics~governance~fighting~ fighting, but also involved in the struggle for imperial power, no matter which one can kill the nine clans!

Although Liu Juntao knows that the general trend of history is that the orthodox emperor of the Taishang Emperor finally succeeded in seizing the throne, and the most rational thing to do is to bet on the orthodox emperor, but judging from the current situation, Emperor Jingtai has firmly controlled the overall situation, and the only thing Liu Juntao can do now is to stand still and remain neutral!

At this time, Liu Juntao suddenly got up, bowed to Mr. Shan, and then hugged his fists and said: "Thank you Mr. Shan for coming to pass the word, please Mr. Shan tell Yan Shenggong: Yan Shenggong's friendship, I Liu Juntao remember!" ”
