Lu Shanji's idea was that no matter what, the rebels of the Zhenwu Battalion and the Guangwu Battalion had to be disarmed first, and as for how to deal with the rebels of the two battalion heads, it would have to wait for the situation to be completely controlled, and then the decision would be made.

But with his understanding of the current emperor, it is impossible to be lenient and lenient, let alone like the previous mutiny in the army, after the court made up the military salary.

At the same time that Zu Dabi took Yang Shengyuan to the Zhenwu camp to negotiate with the rebels, the elders of Ning Yuan and the representatives of the merchants and people who heard the news also gathered under the north gate of Ningyuan City, and asked the soldiers of the Governor's Mansion who were guarding the city gate to meet the Supervisor to present their feelings.

And Zhu Er, the person in charge of Dongchang Liaodong Station, is also mixed in with the petition of Ningyuan businessmen and representatives at this moment as the shopkeeper of Hongji Commercial Bank.

For the people and elders of Ningyuan City and the representatives of the merchants, although Lu Shanji was exhausted, he couldn't help it, not to mention that these people didn't come empty-handed, and many people brought wine and meat to reward the rebel army brought back by the overseer.

After a while, the heads or representatives of the Ningyuan Wang family, the Chen family and other big families were invited to the top of the North Gate Tower, and Zhu Erye of Hongji Commercial Bank was naturally among them.

Seeing these people coming up, Lu Shanji also quickly got up and sat down, took a few steps forward, and stood up to greet him, although Lu Shanji was in a high position, but in the face of the people of Ningyuan, the posture he should have should still be sufficient, which is also the common style of literati and scholars in this era.

In the face of the emperor, it is possible that he will have to hold a high shelf of scholars, but in the face of local fathers and elders, he will try his best to show a polite and amiable appearance.

These representatives of the people of Ningyuan, when they saw that Jiliao Governor Lu Shanji came to greet him in person, of course they were moved and frightened, and they knelt down and kowtowed from afar, and they were all busy saying: "Ningyuan businessmen and so-and-so visit the Inspector, and the Inspector is well!" ”

After seeing the ceremony, Lu Shanji invited these people to come to him, and then said: "The headquarters went out of the city to inspect for more than a month, and I don't want this chaos in Ningyuan City." The people of Ningyuan were frightened, and some merchants were looted by the rebels and suffered huge losses. Every time I think about this, I feel guilty. Now Ning Yuan's father and elder have come to treat the teacher when he heard the news, which makes Lu feel even more ashamed! ”

After saying this, Lu Shanji continued: "In the past few days, the merchants and people in the city have lost, and after the rebellion is settled, the Governor's Mansion will never sit idly by, and will definitely ask for instructions to live today and give Ning Yuan's father an explanation!" ”

Hearing Lu Shanji's words, Ning Yuan's fathers and elders who came to the city all bowed their hands and thanked them.

One of them also said: "Now that the Governor has returned, Ningyuan City will definitely be as stable as Mount Tai!" Although we are small people, we also have a passion, the Inspector will wipe out the rebels, if there is a need for us to wait, we will never shirk! ”

When the other delegates heard this, they all responded.

Seeing this scene, Lu Shanji pondered for a moment and said, "In this case, there is one thing in the headquarters that I want to discuss with Ning Yuan's father. ”

Everyone listened and said: "I don't have to discuss with the Governor, if there is an order, I will not hesitate to go to the soup and fire, and I will ask the Inspector to show it!" ”

Lu Shanji thought for a while and said: "Now that Ning Yuan's soldiers are in turmoil in the name of asking for arrears, they owe three months' salaries, and now the imperial court is on their way to escort them. Far water is difficult to quench thirst near and near. In the name of the Governor's Mansion, the Ministry wants to borrow 50,000 taels of silver from Ning Yuan's father, with a monthly interest of 5%, and repay the principal and interest within a month. What do you think? ”

The elders of Ning Yuan and the representatives of the businessmen who were present saw that the Governor's Mansion was not collecting donations from them, but borrowing from them, and the loan was not in vain, and the interest would be repaid within a month.

After the next push, they all agreed, and after agreeing on the share of the loan, these people saw Lu Shanji's tired face, and they also offered to leave.

At this moment, Zhu Er took a step forward, bowed down and said, "Master Inspector, the grass people are the shopkeeper of the Hongji Commercial Bank in Ningyuan City. There are a few words of advice that I want to say to the Inspector, but I don't know whether to say it or not? ”

Lu Shanji, who was really tired and wanted to rest for a while, heard this, so he had to say with a strong spirit: "Since Shopkeeper Zhu has something to say, let's talk about it!" ”

When Zhu Er heard this, he bowed down and clasped his fists and said: "The grass people heard that if they want to prosper in literature, they must be armed. Now although the superintendent's department is elite, the grass people have less than a thousand soldiers. However, the Zhenwu Battalion and Guangwu Battalion in the city had more than 3,000 soldiers. Grass people, please ask the Inspector, where is the army of Liaozhen? With only a thousand people in front of you, how can you pacify the 3,000 brave rebels in the city?! ”

As soon as Zhu Er's words came out, Wu Xiang and Yang Guozhu immediately stepped forward and scolded loudly: "Who are you?!" The major event of quelling the chaos has its own superintendent's proposition, how can you, a businessman, be asked! Don't quit yet! ”

When Zhu Er heard this, he just lowered his head and hugged his fists silently.

Of course, Lu Shanji is not a person who can't listen to opinions, and what this person said is not unreasonable, so he waved his hand at Wu Xiang and Yang Guozhu, signaled the two to step back, and said to Zhu Er: "What the shopkeeper Zhu said is not unreasonable. I don't know what you can advise? ”

Zhu Er was not polite, and immediately said: "To pacify the chaotic soldiers in the city, maybe only the current department of the superintendent can be used, but if there is no army outside the city, it will be difficult to protect everything after all." If the Guangwu Battalion and the Zhenwu Battalion are in a hurry to jump over the wall, the merchants and people in the city will inevitably suffer from war again, and the Governor will be asked to investigate. ”

After hearing this, Lu Shanji nodded, and said: "The Ministry has its own decision, although you are a businessman, you are worried about state affairs, which is really admirable. After the rebellion in the city is pacified, the governor's office will have something to report. ”

After speaking, he bowed his hand and ended the summons, and after Zhu Er bowed and saluted, he left the North Gate Tower with Ning Yuan's father and other representatives of the merchants.

After meeting these people, Lu Shanji thought about it and felt that what Zhu Er said was indeed a foolproof strategy, if the rebels in the city found out that the Mangui army had not returned, this matter would probably increase variables.

Therefore, Lu Shanji immediately handed a few copies of the book, used the seal of the upper superintendent to pass the defense, and immediately ordered Wu Xiang to select capable personnel, go out from the four gates, and go to Tashan, Xingshan, Zhongzuo and Juehua Island, mobilize the elite battalions from all over the country to set off as a whole army, and come to Ningyuan to listen to the order.

After all these things were done, Lu Shanji lay down and fell asleep, and slept until dusk.

When the sky was dark and the lights were on, Lu Shanji was woken up by Sun Zhan, saying that Zu Dabi had returned with Yang Shengyuan.

Lu Shan immediately saw him, and in a moment, Wu Xiang, Yang Guozhu, and Zu Dabi, who were waiting outside, took Yang Shengyuan and Yang Wenkui into the hall.

Seeing Lu Shanji, Yang Shengyuan immediately knelt on the ground and reported: "Lord Inspector, I was ordered to go to Zhenwu Camp to visit Deputy Envoy Guo, and now I am fortunate not to be dishonored, and I also saw Peng Haigu, Zhang Zhengchao and other leaders of the rebels, and said what Lord Inspector meant. Deputy Envoy Guo is now safe and sound, but Peng Qigu and others refused to release him, saying that he had a good plan. The lowly waited in the camp for half a day, Peng Qigu, Zhang Zhengchao and others just argued and couldn't make up their minds. The humble duty was worried that the overseer was in a hurry, so he returned first. Humble and courageous, he agreed with Peng Qigu and others that it would be limited to noon tomorrow, and the generals in the camp would have a reply at that time. ”

Listening to Yang Shengyuan's words, Lu Shanji knew in his heart that after his statement was passed on to the rebels, Peng Haigu and others would inevitably be divided, after all, this group of rebels was gathered for profit, in the face of the emergency of life and death, these people may be tightly grouped and united with the outside, if there is no huge external pressure, their internal will inevitably become a mass of scattered sand immediately, and they will soon become a group of rabble.

At the same time, Lu Shanji considered that more than 1,000 cavalry members of his Chinese army galloped back to Shiningyuan from Yizhou City for a day and night, and they were all tired and in urgent need of rest, so he ordered Zu Dabi, Yang Guozhu and others to arrange protective guards at night, and the rest of them all rested. Wait for tomorrow afternoon, and then contact Peng Qigu and others for a meeting.

When Wu Xiang and the others heard the order, they all went out to make arrangements. Lu Shanji sat in front of the case, wrote down the situation of the Ningyuan mutiny and the recent events in Liaodong, and handed it over to Sun Chan to arrange the Jinyi guards, and left the city overnight to send them in the direction of Jingshi.
