Gao Su still loved the Bohai Sea in his bones, and half of his 8,000 Gao family troops returned to the northern border of the Bohai Sea, and continued to fight with the brothers of the same clan in the forest to defend the northern border of the kingdom. Read the full text of the latest chapter, and he himself took his children and grandchildren, his family and 3,000 soldiers to Liaozhou, and served under Li Mao. Li Mao left his troops in Liaozhou for training, replenished ordnance and trained officers, and sent them to Columbia to serve after the training was completed, specifically to deal with the Murwei Meng's shield troops scattered in the forest.
But Sang Rong took the initiative to ask for the number of the tenth division, and Li Mao couldn't help but give it, after all, he was an old friend for many years, and it was not easy to make Sang Xiaogui take the initiative to lower his eyebrows and bend his waist, Li Mao was worried that if he missed this village, there would be no such store.
There were only more than 600 people under Sang Rong's command, and he couldn't make up a division, so Li Mao allocated a part of the left and right guard battalions of the pro-army stationed in the new city of the wharf and handed them over to Sang Rong's command, and then changed the vanguard battalion of the pro-army left wing to his command, barely enough to meet the standard of a division.
Ma Xiongan, the deputy commander of the left wing, was also the commander of the battalion, and after being reassigned to the 10th Division, Ma Xiongan broke away from the left wing and served as the deputy commander of the 10th Division.
In view of the poor performance of Ma Hedong, the commander of the Fourth Division, in the Battle of Tiezhou, after returning to Liaodong, Li Mao transferred him to the training hall as the deputy envoy for training, and the Fourth Division went to Dongzhou for training. However, Ma Xiong'an's qualifications are relatively shallow, although the position of the deputy commander of the left wing is high, he commands very few troops, and the fourth commander is not qualified enough, and he is afraid that people will not be convinced. Let him first serve as the deputy commander of the 10th Division, accumulate seniority, and then transfer to the 4th Division when the time is ripe, this is a personnel arrangement made by Li Mao.
Prior to this, the post of commander of the Fourth Division was temporarily represented by Shi Kong.
After participating in the founding ceremony of the 10th Division, Li Mao was about to return to Liaozhou, and Sang Rong led a ship to escort him. ”
Li Mao was serious: "Beisha City is connected to Ziqing, Silla, and Japan across the sea, and in the future, it will build an open sea fleet, and its status is very important, and it must be guarded by a weighty person, so you can rest assured that you don't have to have other worries." ”
Sang Rong said: "Since you can trust me, I won't say anything, I will guard Beisha City for you, and help my sister-in-law manage the Dengzhou Liaodong Trade Road, you can rest assured." ”
Sang Rong and Li Mao are of the same age, but they have deep seniority in the army, and they have always regarded Li Mao as a younger brother, called Su Qing a younger sister, and called Su Qing "little sister-in-law" This is the first time.
Li Mao felt a little in his heart, and the little ghost Sang who was not afraid of the sky and the earth also became aware of current affairs, and became willing to live under the people. Read the full text of the latest chapter
Then he said: "After the change of commander in Ziqing, has General Yu's situation improved, if you are not used to living in Ziqing, you can come to Liaodong, I am willing to let it be made by moderation." ”
Sang Rong said: "Don't say this, if you are willing to let it, how dare he take Ziqing is no longer the Ziqing of the past, General Yu's situation is better than before." Li Shidao has one advantage over his brother, that is, he is indecisive, as long as the opponent is willing to submit to softness, he will not kill them all, his ears are soft, some people slander, some people praise, he becomes impatient, too lazy to care. ”
Li Mao said: "What I just said may be a little inappropriate, but I am a person who knows how to repay my kindness, and General Yu has the grace of helping me, and I sincerely hope that he can come to Liaodong to live a comfortable life for a few days." ”
Sang Rong said with a smile: "I will definitely tell you this sentence, whether you come or not, but it depends on the chance." ”
According to the rules of the Li family's house, the head of the family returned from afar, and he must stay at his wife's place for the first night, and he must stay for three nights in a row.
Su Qing is far away in Yunzhou, and there are only four concubines in Liaodong: Qinniang, Lan'er, Su Ying and Xue Dingding.
Xue Dingding has a stubborn temper, she suspects that Jin Tiyong's death is related to the right chamber, and she has not spoken to Li Mao for a long time, although she has the name of a concubine, she has never inherited the head of the family, Yulu, and is not in the competition. Except for her, whether it is from small to large, or from large to small, Lan'er is sandwiched in the middle, and the enjoyment of the first night is not available, besides, Qinniang has the earliest entry, the highest status among the sisters, and she is the housekeeper, Lan'er does not dare to rob her, but Lan'er has Lan'er's own thoughts: cats see fish, where can they not eat, they have to wait until the evening, in bed, and steal a taste of freshness
Lan'er's careful thinking, Qin Niang and Su Ying all knew it, but they just pretended not to know. Qin Niang is Li Mao's first woman, a poor friend, and her feelings are very high. Although Su Ying started late, she has a son and a daughter, who is smart, beautiful and knowledgeable, and is indispensable for grace. Only Lan'er was born in a prostitute family, and she has nothing to do, as Li Mao's status rises day by day, he is getting older and older, and there is a danger of falling out of favor from time to time.
The two of them can understand Lan'er's mood and are happy to fulfill her.
Li Mao landed in Dongzhou, met with the clerk Cheng and Xie Biao, who were sitting in Dongzhou to deal with the aftermath of the La Liga Battalion, and then inspected the La Liga Battalion, which was instigated by several Silla people to form a party against the government, and the two sides had a violent conflict, and the situation was ten times more serious than what Li Mao described to Wei Yong and Zhang Lu.
The La Liga battalion was burned to the ground in the riots, losing tens of thousands of houses and killing and wounding thousands.
The construction site is very lively, in addition to craftsmen, coolies, there are a lot of people who shout grievances, looking for people, doing small business, the fire is fierce and big, the death toll is still a mystery, Li Mao and his party just entered the construction site was surrounded by a group of people who shouted grievances, Li Mao's face was gloomy and did not say a word, Xie Biao replied to find out the truth and then make a calculation, everyone did not agree, one by one was emotional, and refused to go.
Shi Kong was worried that something would happen, so he ordered the guards to form a shield array to protect Li Mao and his party to leave the scene first.
That night, Li Mao convened a meeting of the bureaus and offices of the Eastern and Gao Prefectures and the Ministry of Economic Affairs and the garrison in the Dongzhou Assassin's Mansion, at which Xie Biao was entrusted to reiterate the policy towards the Hu people, and Li Mao concluded murderously: "Liaodong is everyone's Liaodong, not any family's Liaodong, Liaodong can neither be outsiders, nor is it allowed to have special ethnic groups, and anyone who cannot see this can only bring about their own destruction." When handling such disputes, all ministries only need to have four words in their hearts: enforce the law impartially, leave the rest alone, don't make mud, don't engage in compromises, one is one, two is two, and whoever dares to violate the law will be beheaded. ”
Because of the matter of the Xijia battalion, the two states and local garrisons in Donggao feel the same huge pressure, Xi people have a large number of people in Liaodong, and they have enjoyed preferential treatment in all aspects, before the incident, the scale of the Xijia battalion was equivalent to a medium-sized town, but it was a place outside the law, and the local government had no jurisdiction at all.
Six Koreans burst this powder keg, the time was the time of Li Mao's expedition, the intention can be described as sinister, but in order to completely cut off this cancer, and to sound the alarm bell to the thousands of new vassals living in Liaodong, set an example, but it is extremely necessary, without such an example, I don't know how many people will fall into fearless disputes in the future, and lose their lives in vain.
However, in the face of the pressure of reality, the specific operators still inevitably have to waver, try to make a compromise with the mud, try to make a compromise, and try to fool the pass
As soon as this case is opened, there will be endless troubles.
Fortunately, Li Mao came in time and said such resounding words, which completely shattered the illusions of some people and gave strong support to those who were sincere in their work.
As soon as Li Mao's words were finished, all the participants stood up and expressed their sincere support in their hearts.
After the meeting, Li Mao left Xie Biao to continue to deal with the aftermath in Dongzhou, and returned to Liaodong City with the clerk.
Dongzhou to Liaodong City is 400 miles away, the post road connecting the two places has been built, the road is flat and wide, a post station is set up every 30 miles, and a new village around these post stations has begun to take shape.
Staying at Fengle Station this day and night, Wencheng bought a bag of sauce beef on the street, and brought a jar of wine to Li Mao to drink, Li Mao also thought that the food at the post station was too bad, but the rules were set by himself, and it was not good to add extra meals, and he was also planning to go to the street for a walk.
The clerk is here to apologize, in dealing with the aftermath of the La Liga battalion, he has confused thinking, his methods are too soft, he always wants to make a compromise, and he is worried that he will make a big deal and annoy Xi Ren and can't end it, and it is under his suppression that the aftermath matters are left and right, front and back, unresolved for a long time, and more and more passive.
After Li Mao woke up, the clerk realized his mistake, but because he couldn't wipe his face for a while, he didn't say a word at the Dongzhou venue and did not publicly admit his mistake. After the meeting, Li Mao left Xie Biao to preside over the aftermath in Dongzhou, but brought him back to Liaozhou, and he realized the seriousness of the situation and hurriedly looked for an opportunity to admit his mistake to Li Mao.
Facing the honesty of the clerk, Li Mao smiled slightly, touched a glass with him, and said: "Your intentions are good, I am worried that the means are too harsh and provoke a backlash from the Xi people, after all, in Liaodong, the Xi people have to hold up half the sky." I have to say that this trick of the Silla people is very insidious and hits us in the soft underbelly. ”
The clerk said: "Now the government at all levels and the army are full of miscellaneous people, and there will be more and more such things, and the slightest carelessness will cause chaos, and it will also give people with ill intentions a chance to take advantage of." The Internal Protection Service should do more in this regard. ”
Li Mao said: "The internal security department is already very large, is it appropriate to expand again?"
The clerk smiled and said: "Don't care about the big if it's useful, a bigger one can prevent trouble before it happens, it's better than wiping your ass afterwards, a La Liga battalion was burned to the ground, and how big the loss was." ”
Li Mao said happily: "Brother Wen really has foresight. ”
After drinking for a while, talking about the conversation, the knot in the heart was untied, the amount of alcohol in the clerk also arrived, he was afraid of drinking too much and got up to say goodbye, Li Mao sent him to the door, drank some wine and did not go back to the house, sat down on the stone bench in the courtyard, looked at the night sky, traveled all over the world, and heard a crisp sound of "click" coldly, and before he came back to his senses, he heard a boom, and in front of his eyes, the three newly built blue brick buildings collapsed.
Before the dust and smoke cleared, four sturdy black-clothed men suddenly rushed out, holding crossbows in hand, standing on the ruins to find Li Mao's body.
