In the early morning of the second day after the Shandong army entered the city, Lu Qianning, then the governor of Zhouzhou, and Deng Maoda, the general manager of Qian, met each other in the lobby of the garrison mansion north of Cangzhou City, because at this time two documents were placed in front of them.

One is for Zhizhou Lu Qianning, and the other is for Deng Mao.

Looking at these two documents, Lu Qianning was really in a dilemma, not knowing what to do, while Deng Mao was pretending, holding back the ecstasy in his heart.

Although he was very excited in his heart, Deng Mao clearly knew that at least he couldn't be too obvious in front of the people of the Shandong Army, so it would be too eager for quick success, and when it reached Wang Zheng's ears, it would have an adverse impact on his future journey.

Thinking of the death of President Qian Han Shengfang last night, the two of them still had palpitations.

It is said that the marshal of Shandong, in order to appease the anger of the people, ordered Han Shengfang to be tied to a wooden pillar and left no questions asked, and was later chopped to death by the angry people.

Han Shengfang is indeed pitiful, he was just blocked by his subordinates who wanted to surrender, and he was used by the Shandong army as a scapegoat to calm the people's complaints, if you ask Wang Zheng who really appreciates, it is undoubtedly Han Shengfang, not Deng Mao who surrendered.

But the way of the world is like this, under the military authority of the Shandong army, if you surrender, I can appoint or hide according to the situation, if you don't have this intention at all, then you must die.

No matter how loyal this person is, Wang Zheng doesn't need it, all he needs now is someone who will meet the situation and temporarily stabilize the local situation for himself.

As for how these people will end up when the general trend is set, it depends on their performance in the future.

Last night's miserable howl actually didn't last long, but in the ears of Deng Mao, the generals who advocated surrendering to the Shandong Army, it seemed to be close at hand, and everyone's hearts were both afraid and happy.

The combat effectiveness of the Shandong army was already obvious to all last night, and it took less than two hours for the Shandong army to pacify the thousands of chaotic soldiers in the city, and the most important thing was that their own casualties were almost zero.

It is said that they came with 200,000 soldiers, and these troops can fight directly to the Beijing Division, who else can stop them all the way?

Thinking of this, Deng Mao was even more glad that his choice was correct.

"Okay, Lu Zhizhou, are you on this fold or not?"

At this time, Dong Youyin crossed his hands on his waist and asked coldly.

All of a sudden, Lu Qianning, who was sitting there, shuddered, and then looked at the murderous Shandong army generals around him, and his body shook like chaff.

"But... There's no ink here..."

"That's easy!"

Hearing this, Dong Youyin shouted coldly behind him, followed by a military secretary who walked in in small steps, placed the four treasures of the study in front of Lu Qianning, and retreated respectfully.

There are literati in the Shandong army?

Lu Qianning's eyes widened, he didn't believe that literati would work for martial arts at all, and he was just a bookkeeper who recorded and did miscellaneous work, which was simply insulting!

But the matter has come to this point, so he can't hesitate, because Dong Youyin next to him has already weakly put his hand on the hilt of the knife.

This madman surnamed Dong is a real murderer, and it is said that he is a ruthless character among the four generals of the Shandong Army.

When he was escorted over, Lu Qianning saw him laughing in the bloody wind and rain with his own eyes, and the ordinary three or five chaotic soldiers were not close to him, and his skills were really powerful.

Lu Qianning picked up the brush with a smile, and didn't know what to do for a while, just as Dong Youyin frowned and was about to ask again, he sensitively heard a sound of footsteps coming from outside the door.

At this time, there was only one person who could swagger and unimpeded in the city, and the generals of the Sharp Knife Battalion in the house all understood, so they hurriedly turned around and clasped their fists and shouted in unison:

"See the big handsome!"

Sure enough, Wang Zheng waved his hand and walked in from outside the door, and when he saw Deng Mao and the others who stood up and saluted with a shocked face, they also hummed lightly.

"How is Lu Zhizhou's writing?"

"This guy is so scared that he can't even hold the pen steadily, and he can't hold back a word."

Hearing the conversation between Dong Youyin and Wang Zheng, it was rumored that Lu Qianning, who was upright and not afraid of death, quickly knelt down with a puff and said tremblingly:

"Wang Dashuai spares his life, Wang Dashuai spares his life! Root... Oh no, Xia Guan really doesn't know what to write..."

Hearing this, Wang Zheng smiled slightly, helped him up, and said:

"Don't be afraid, as long as Lu Zhizhou plays this matter to the emperor as it is, he can't lose his position and life."

Hearing Wang Zheng's name for Chongzhen, Lu Qianning seemed to understand something, and his body trembled even more, often people who are immortal in great calamities are more afraid of death.

After a long time, Lu Qianning resigned himself to his fate and said:

"Xiaguan, Xiaguan understands."

Deng Mao and his entourage of the generals in Cangzhou City didn't dare to sit anymore after Wang Zheng came in, they all stood up and giggled with them, and they didn't know where to put their hands.

Wang Zheng turned around and looked over, and the group pushed Deng Mao out in unison.

"Humble Deng Mao, I have seen loyalty... I've seen the handsome! ”

Originally, Deng Mao habitually wanted to say Zhongliebo, but as soon as he said a word, he immediately changed his words, and a layer of fine sweat appeared on his forehead after saying this.

Deng Mao's reaction was quite fast, and Wang Zheng obviously didn't pay much attention to the small word "loyalty", and waved his hand to let them all sit down, but Deng Mao and the others were willing to do anything, saying that they were comfortable standing.

Why did Wang Zheng come here with "military advice", isn't it to change the title of these three words, if Deng Mao doesn't know whether he is alive or dead at this time, the ending is afraid that it will be even more tragic than that Han Shengfang.

After going through all the things last night, seeing those Shandong Army soldiers again, Deng Mao and the others are no longer any Xiao Jiujiu, and the only thing they hope is to save their lives and their current positions.

Seeing that Deng Mao and the others were really insistent, Wang Zheng also knew that they didn't dare, and he was not reluctant at the moment, he looked Deng Mao up and down, glanced at the documents on the table, and asked with a smile:

"Is Deng Shoubei still satisfied?"

Deng Mao followed Wang Zheng's gaze and hurriedly said:

"Back to the words of the big handsome, the big handsome believes in the humble position so much, and the humble duty will be repaid with death!"

As soon as he mentioned this matter, Deng Mao was secretly happy in his heart, originally thinking that it was already good to keep the position of General Qian, because judging from the strength of the Shandong Army, there are too many people who are more qualified and powerful than himself, and it will not be his turn no matter how he calculates.

But the fact is that Wang Zheng made Deng Mao the Cangzhou garrison and gave him the first task.

As long as the list of the remaining Ming troops inside and outside the city is handed over, and then reorganized and dismantled according to the rules of the Shandong Army, the garrison battalion officer of the Shandong Army stationed in Cangzhou is him Deng Mao!

Clothing, armor and all kinds of military supplies, the newly incorporated Cangzhou foreign soldiers and horses are the same as the foreign soldiers and horses in Henan and other places, and it can be said that the treatment is very high.

Of course, Wang Zheng has his own considerations for doing this, first of all, Deng Mao is standing behind the Deng family.

The Deng family has been a wealthy family in Cangzhou for generations, and now Deng Mao's father, Deng Rong, is the commander of the Shenyang Zhongtun Guard, and is a powerful imperial army general in Hejian Mansion, and is now leading his troops to garrison the Suning area.

The Deng family can run the monk and can't run the temple, plus Deng Rong's son is already in the hands of the Shandong army, and there is an irreparable strength gap between the two parties.

Secondly, Wang Zheng already had a thick pile of reports on Deng Mao from the Spy Division.

If this person behaves misbehaps, Wang Zheng will not appoint him at all, after all, the place that he spent his hard work to get will be lost, and no one wants to experience this kind of joy and sorrow.

What's more, Cangzhou is an important place for Cao Yun, and pinching here is equivalent to pinching the throat of half of Beizhili, whether it is cutting off Cao Yun or sending troops straight to Beijing, it can be completed at the fastest speed.

There are many local wealthy families and gentry in Cangzhou, and most of them are suspicious and hostile to the Shandong army.

Now the Shandong army is racing against time, there is no time to spend on these wealthy gentry, and they can't open the killing ring to them every place they go, boiling frogs in warm water is obviously the most effective method.

The best way to suppress and paralyze the local wealthy clan is to install a leader who is absolutely loyal to him to rule over them, and there is no doubt that the Deng family is the best candidate in Hejian Province.

Deng Mao made a garrison in Cangzhou, which was equivalent to no turning back for the Deng family, which was also an extraordinary use of extraordinary means in extraordinary times, and the purpose was to force the Deng family to jump on the giant ship of the Shandong Army.

What the Shandong army does, as long as you wade through troubled waters, then don't expect to come down, if it fails, don't expect anyone to be alone, the only hope to survive is to pull down your face and do it together.

Of course, these are just expedient measures to stabilize Hejian Province.

If you want to really control Hejian Mansion in your hands, in addition to sending troops to garrison, the most important thing is to gradually promote the policy of gathering farms and salt farms in Shandong.

This method has been used in Kaifeng Mansion and Guide Mansion and other places, and now the people in these places have become more and more favorable to the Shandong Army, and they have unknowingly become vassals of the Shandong Army.

There are also those foreign departments, under the continuous reorganization and transfer of the Shandong Army, almost all the grassroots officers have been replaced by Wang Zheng's diehard loyalists, and the relatives of those soldiers at the bottom are working for the entire group of the Shandong Army.

Without Wang Zheng's order, even if the lord wants to rebel, it is wishful thinking.

As for those wealthy gentry, after the initial period of vigilance passed, they slowly engaged in some seemingly unaccompanied transactions with the Shandong army.

They did make a steady profit on silver money in these transactions, but what they didn't know was that it was this kind of trading that closely linked their own interests with the Shandong army.

At first, many people were still snickering, because they couldn't see anything at all, but as time went on, this dependency became more and more obvious.

Now, even if they want to get out, it's impossible.
