Zhang Renjun, the governor of Shandong, led 3,000 men and horses to recover Zaozhuang. Finally got back face. Issued a document to express merit to the imperial court. Zhang Renjun has Long Wangshu. Issuing an imperial decree. Let the victorious army move the defense. His men and horses will be stationed in the city.

Browning did what he was told. I didn't ask Zhang Renjun for money. Three days after the whole army. Led the main force of the Changsheng Army and 500 members of the Spear Club to Weishan County.

Zhang Renjun soon stationed in Lincheng. Deeply sympathetic to the plight of the gentry in the city. But the blood debt of the eighty households in the city must be counted on the heads of the bandits. The documents that sued the Chang Shengjun and the Lance Society were backlogged in the court. Zhang Renjun didn't even look at it. It's easy to punish the people of the Lance Society. But behind the Lance Society stood the Victorious Army. Behind Chang Shengjun stood Li Guolou. Zhang Renjun is thoughtful. You must not tear your face with the ruffians. In case Li Guolou has an episode of epilepsy. Led troops to plunder Shandong. Didn't he lose his wife and his soldiers?

There is a lot of war in the war. When a man dies, he dies without proof. Which eye of the bitter lord of the eighty merchants saw the people of the Spear Society killing? Zhang Renjun is convinced that the Lance Club is a patriotic society that cares for every grass and tree in its hometown. The villain is just slanderous. Ignore it is.

Zhang Renjun inspected the city left by Chang Shengjun. I was quite satisfied with the mustache. The city is intact. Only the east gate of the city needs to be repaired. The soldier ruffian really knows the truth that everyone earns money. Leaving dozens of empty yards. It's a great gift to him. Zhang Renjun doesn't have to be vicious. He has his own master to do it for him.

Zhang Renjun climbed high and overlooked. It's like seeing the smoke of Weishan Lake. I think Li Guolou ignored him at the beginning. Arrogant and arrogant. Attack the bandit forces without authorization. He is not a human being inside and out. Now he's turned over and become the master. Choke Li Guolou's neck. Li Guolou wants a boat. I'm going to come and pay homage to him.

Zhang Renjun is like a god. As expected. The victorious army has just left. Li Guolou led a cavalry. Come to the border of the city.

The so-called soldier is fast. Thousands of new military troops on the shore of Weishan Lake. Empty time-lapse days. Nothing. Li Guolou was angry. The new military army pointed directly at Weishan Lake. It's just that there's not a big ship in sight. The small sampan is increasing every day. But this kind of small sampan for two people. You can only go fishing. I am afraid that there will be no return for war. Li Guolou finally learned that Zhang Renjun, the governor of Shandong, was powerful. Know how to be under the roof. The truth that you have to bow your head. Li Hongzhang is not omnipotent. The serpent of the earth is not to be offended.

Li Guolou changed his strategy at this time. I personally went to Lincheng to meet Zhang Renjun, the governor of Shandong. He is good at being a hook that can bend and stretch. Never felt superior. Victory is not arrogant, defeat is not discouraged. Take a look at the "Qing Dynasty Reform Pioneer" Zhang Renjun. Only buy the hearts of the Westerners.

Zhang Renjun is magnanimous. Led the civil and military generals to meet the victorious division in the ten-mile long pavilion. Li Guolou kowtowed to see Zhang Renjun. The two looked at each other. A sympathetic expression. Heroes cherish heroes. Sincere and touching laughter. Win the applause of the crowd.

Li Guolou glanced at the official sedan chair prepared for him. I sat down with my head bored. If you come, you will be safe. Just take it easy.

"Get up the car."

The guard of honor is majestic. All kinds of flags are erected. Eight lift the pride and steady the current line. Evasion cards, quiet cards. Flying tiger flags, apricot umbrellas, green fans, and golden sticks are neatly arranged. Four officials sounded the gong to open the way. Thirty broad-shouldered and round-waisted Goshha were clustered around the eight-legged sedan chair. Zhang Renjun's private guard of honor is fully equipped. Spectacular. There were sixty of them.

Behind the civil official sedan chair. Commander on horseback. Clustered behind the brigade. Towards the city.

Li Guolou secretly looked at the honor guard. Shandong Governor Zhang Renjun went on patrol. The majesty is higher than that of Prince Gong. The Emperor of the Earth went out on patrol and was extravagant and wasteful. Military affairs are urgent. Li Guolou hated to say a few words to Zhang Renjun. After the official business is clear, go back to the front. But this is the rule of Qing officialdom. Li Guolou closed his eyes. It's like an old monk sitting in meditation.

Li Yunkai took the lead. Proud of civilian and military generals. Thirteen small bald heads such as Haiwa and Hulu followed. All nostrils are facing the sky. A posture of looking down on people. Two hundred cavalrymen of the New Armed Forces were on the thin side. and Zhang Renjun's sixty relatives are not comparable at all. It's arrogant and domineering better than a chip.

With this little bit you can defeat the brave bandits. Zhang Renjun felt incredible. I don't understand how Li Guolou trained his troops. I don't see anything special about the new army. To Li Guolou, who has a humble attitude. It's like seeing flowers in the fog. Zhang Renjun said to himself: "Li Guolou is really as cunning as a fox. It's a pity I'm a hunter. Defend the country with a shotgun."

Zhang Renjun closed his eyes and recuperated. The heart is like water. There is no rush at all. Shandong has been a bandit since ancient times. Successive governors of Shandong pretended to be deaf and dumb. It is just a matter of concealing and not reporting the bandits who are causing rebellion in the territory. The bandits in the calf and Weishan Lake are not only after he took office. It has long since become a stubborn disease. The imperial court appeases a generation of bandits. After that, a new generation of bandits emerged. This is the folk customs formed by the geographical environment. The road roared when he saw the injustice. Shandong people have long been accustomed to robbing homes. The heroes of Liangshan are heroes in the hearts of Shandong people. Shandong has a glorious history and tradition. Specialized out of kidnappers. It has become a family business.

There are several bandits hidden in Weishan Lake. The fundamental reason why it is difficult to eliminate is that many bandits are locals. Bandits and people. Put down your gun and cast your net to fish. The government called such people "thieves." Successive dynasties have nothing to do about this kind of "thieves."

Unless it's the founding years. The army can do whatever it wants to kill innocents. Kill all the local people. Eradicate the descendants of bandits. The army is cruel and bloody. It's a well-dressed beast. There is no humanity to speak of. But that's the cure. Can make the place Changping a Jiazi. During the Taiping period. No court official dared to risk the world's condemnation. Dare to kill all the local people. Kill not only the people. You can't kill more than just bandits. Generation after generation of bandits. Rooted in the homeland endlessly.

The government can only tempt bandits with official hats. Mainly caressing. Let the bandits change from evil to good. The officers and soldiers refused to contribute to the elimination of the bandits in Weishan Lake. The bandits can't finish catching them. You can't tell if it's a common man or a bandit. And Weishan Lake is too big. There are four lakes connected. Nearly 700 miles in circumference. The total area is about 4100 square miles. Bandits can run around at any time. The wind howls tightly. Hide in a different place.

So Zhang Renjun cleared the bandits of Weishan Lake. Not zealous. Exterminate a group of bandits. It doesn't take long. There will be a group of bandits occupying Weishan Island. This time Li Guolou was overzealous. Want to capture the bandits' stronghold Weishan Island. For Zhang Renjun. Blessings and misfortunes. Shandong bandits are in trouble. It has become an indisputable fact. This lid is lifted. Ding Baozhen, the former governor of Shandong, will also be punished. This is against the rules of officialdom. He sat on the throne of the governor of Shandong. It is guaranteed by Ding Baozhen. Expose the shortcomings of the chief. It's a taboo in officialdom. Zhang Renjun is full of fear for the future. I don't want to get into this troubled water. was forced by Li Guolou to have nothing to do. In the end, he was more afraid of Li Guolou. Li Guolou has an official hat of the right capital of the Imperial Palace. This is the sword hanging over Zhang Renjun's head.

Since Li Guolou came to Lincheng in person. Zhang Renjun wants to unite sincerely with Li Guolou. Get past this hurdle first. Later demotion and appointment. In a few years, it will be able to make a comeback. Where can Zhang Renjun sleep. Rubbing your temples along the way. I want to let Li Guolou get out of Shandong as soon as possible.

Two eight-carried sedan chairs enter the palace. Li Guolou followed behind Zhang Renjun with interest. Enter the court. A place where the prisoner was interrogated. It's dark and dull inside. Walk through the second hall. The crowd went straight to the three halls. Outside the hall garden pavilion small bridge flowing water. Flowers. The breath of spring is blowing in your face. The tea in the hall is fragrant. Zhang Renjun in the center. Li Guolou sits on the left side. Zheng Heng was accompanied. The political envoy Ning De and the press envoy Hu Chaqing sat on the right side. The other three generals sat in a row at the back. As for several lieutenant generals and wing commanders, they were all drinking tea and chatting in the second hall. Belong to the level is not enough. There is no place for them in the three halls.

After a round of tea. Li Guolou handed over the notebook. said: "The lower officer is a guest army. It's bothered in Shandong. I hope that the three adults will have a lot of Haihan. Don't worry about the new warriors eating horses. The ship was in a hurry. There is no room for delay."

Zhang Renjun took the notebook from the attendant. Flip through the pages. He frowned and said, "How can this be true. Fandai-sama. You should be responsible for the supply of food and grass for this new army. Why so slack. Three days overdue. Military law is merciless."

The political envoy Ning De bowed and said, "Lord Futai is glorious. The division is responsible for the logistical supply of the five armies. More than 20,000 people. 5,000 horses and mules. I will requisition 30,000 people for logistics and transportation alone. and these 30,000 men shall eat and drink; I'm busy. No one can be left hungry. Therefore, the grain and grass transported to the Xinwu Army can only meet fifty percent. But I've got 300 stone of grain and grass ready. It is being prepared to be shipped to Weishan County."

Li Guolou glanced at him and said, "Lord Fantai. That's not how accounts are calculated. The only armies that fought the war were the Xinwu Army and the Changsheng Army. You can't let the warriors go hungry. Our new military army has done its best. There is no offense against the people along the way. You can't force me to fight the autumn wind."

The political envoy Ning De licked his face. smiled: "Li Zhentai is really good at joking. Everyone in the world knows that you are a famous general of the three good times. The new military army is well fed, well dressed, and well welfare. On the front line also eat meat and fish every day. Someday you're hungry."

Li Guolou originally wanted to complain. But people have long known about the situation of the new armed forces. The fish in Weishan Lake are not less. Exposed his lies to his face. He said, "Hey. Fandai-sama. You have to know. It's out of my own pocket. Only then did more than 3,000 people barely make ends meet. You can't let me go bankrupt in Shandong. The new army consumes 70 stone of grain and grass per day. Until today. You owe me 400 stones. This account must be settled. The military master never collects IOUs."

Ningde is a powerful figure. Blessed by our ancestors. There are three points of jealousy of Li Guolou. Don't dare to do too much. But the temper is rushing. Annoyed: "Li Zhentai. Who are you scaring about? What owes and does not owe. Shall I embezzle your fodder? I'm not the donkey."

Zhang Renjun plays a round game. Haha smiled and said, "Don't worry Li Zhentai. Please put a hundred hearts. Grain and grass will definitely be replenished. This kind of trivial thing is not a sentence. That's all for it. Hugh will be hurt and angry. Look at the tea."

Li Guolou looked at Ning De quite strangely. Suddenly a sentence popped up." I'm not the donkey." What is the meaning. What is the allusion in it. Ningde deliberately delayed the grain and grass of the Xinwu army. It is to make Li Guolou soft. This kind of officialdom constraints. Li Guolou knows how to deal with it. Drink a few cups of yellow soup. Become good friends. In the future, officialdom will take care of each other. Ningde won't be embarrassed for him. As for the three general soldiers of Shandong. That was respectful to the political envoy Ningde. Never offend the money bag Ningde.

"Lord Fantai. This official is offensive. Hugh minds." Li Guolou put a soft sentence. It is expected to come to Lincheng. Shandong's cows, ghosts, gods and snakes can all be handled. He is a guest soldier. There is no conflict of interest with anyone here. Zhang Renjun will not treat him badly.

Zhang Renjun then inquired in detail about the preparations of the Xinwu Army. and the battle of Shenfeng Ridge. Speaking of war. The three commanders also began to become active. They all say that they will go straight to the enemy's den. Rush to be a pioneer officer.

Li Guolou heard the mystery in his words. The army without boats could only be deployed along the shores of Weishan Lake. There must have been a boat in the hands of the three commanders. But I just don't talk about it. Everyone pretended to be confused.

Li Guolou didn't talk nonsense. Grab the right to speak. Then he said: "Lord Futai. Please also send twenty large ships to the new army. I'll be sure within three days. Take Weishan Island."

Zhang Renjun almost thought that his ears had heard it wrong. Hurriedly said: "Li Zhentai. You say a few ships."

Li Guolou Zheng'er said: "Li Zhentai. I'm not demanding. Only twenty wooden boats that can hold thirty people. You can take Weishan Island."

Zhang Renjun's Chinese face. It became solemn. shouted: "Li Zhentai. You have to know that you have no jokes. There's no room for child's play."

Li Guolou rose to his feet. He bowed down and said, "My subordinates dare to make a military order. Twenty ships arrived. Three days later. Weishan Island must be planted with the snow-capped lion flag."

He Fengyu, the general soldier of Yanzhou, was anxious: "Xiao Li. You don't understand the complexities of Weishan Lake. The bandits have hundreds of ships. Shoot the nail raft and bite you. There is no one to solve the fire attack."

Li Guolou nodded gratefully and said, "Thank you Lao He for reminding me. I'm still saying that. Twenty ships. You can take Weishan Island."

"Good. Have a backbone. The officer immediately dispatched twenty large sturdy ships. Within three days, it will be in Weishan County." Zhang Renjun took the case. This time, he wanted to see what Li Guolou was capable of capturing Weishan Island. The cowhide is blown too big. Simply don't take thousands of bandits in your eyes .

There are five bandits who can be reported in Weishan Lake. At least more than two thousand bandits are hiding in Weishan Lake. Zhang Renjun seemed to see the tragic situation of Li Guolou's return. How can a good man in Shandong be bullied by the people of Lilliputia.
