I feel awkward when I say this, I was extremely unwell yesterday afternoon, and I asked for leave to go home, but when I got home, I thought about it, and I still came out with these 9,000 words, and I was so tired that I was about to vomit blood, it was really ......

Asking for monthly ticket support, working hard is for this

If it is a powerless general, it is estimated that the governor will soon issue a document to ask people for guilt, but Li Meng is different, although this person's promotion to the garrison of Jiaozhou is also a real achievement, but behind it is also the care of Liu Fulai, the eunuch of Jingshi Bingbi, and the governor Zhu Dadian also knows it.

Originally, after the governor and the general agreed, this merit document would be reported to the military department, but this time the governor Zhu Dadian directly suppressed this document, and first sent someone to send a letter to Eunuch Liu to communicate, because they were not sure, maybe Eunuch Liu instructed his son and nephew to do so.

As soon as the letterhead arrived in Beijing, Eunuch Liu naturally knew the stakes and immediately sent someone to the governor of Denglai to send a letter, and at the same time sent an urgent letter to Li Meng.

It's no wonder that Li Meng is angry, obviously he has won a big victory, but no one believes it, and it is possible to be convicted because of this big victory, Eunuch Liu also said in the end that the rules of such a big victory, even if they are approved and believed everywhere, there will be no cheap money.

The biggest possibility is to go up to the next level, and then transfer you to the front line to fight Shaanxi thieves, in order to fight with Gao Yingxiang, Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng They fight, how many generals and generals died in the Ming Dynasty, and how many governors and guards lost their heads because of this matter, what are you going to do to send them to death.

After Eunuch Liu analyzed the benefits and disadvantages, he asked Li Meng to unify the caliber, change it to fifteen, and then repay the merits again, and then offer the silver taels that should be honored, and the governor and the general had their own people on the side.

It's really laughable. Li Meng was careful everywhere, but he didn't expect that there were omissions here, and this omission made people laugh, to put it bluntly, it was too disgusting. Eunuch Liu was also well-intentioned, and after Li Meng finished his anger, he still wrote a letter of thanks.

I wanted to spend more time in the Li family's manor. After Li Meng read the letter, he directly took Zhu Yunyao back to Jiaozhou City. It made the girl very happy, and thought that Li Meng went back because she was looking at the lights.

After returning to Jiaozhou, Li Meng asked Master Ning to rewrite a document to report the victory, saying that he was fighting with the thieves of the Qiu family and the Peng family, and beheaded fifteen, and all the thieves were scattered, which was written according to the requirements of Eunuch Liu.

After the writing of this meritorious service. Transcribe more than a dozen copies, and arrange for cavalry to be sent to the Jiaozhou battalion to garrison the men and horses everywhere, and be sure to unify the caliber.

After the Jiaozhou battalion garrison received this document, the joy brought by several big victories was suddenly diluted a lot, and everyone was puzzled, thinking that this big victory was really achieved, why should they lower their own combat achievements?

The situation in Laizhou Mansion is also very strange, and everywhere there are officers and soldiers who are ineffective in leveling thieves, and they obviously fail but exaggerate the victory, and even those who go too far even kill the good and take the risk. The result was that the top was rewarded, but the local people were disapproving and even hating, but the army in Laizhou was obviously victorious, but it suddenly changed its story and said that the results were not great, but the people knew that the Jiaozhou battalion had killed hundreds, which was rare.

This busyness did not stop until the twenty-fifth day of the first month, and I thought I could rest and rest, but I didn't expect to wear the news. First, a letter came from the salt transport envoy, saying that he invited Li Meng to meet with the shopkeeper Zheng of the Fujian Commercial Bank to discuss the business of some Fujian native products, which could be regarded as selling the salt transport envoy to save face.

Ba Fujian Commercial Bank, Zheng shopkeeper. Fujian native products. It seems to be an inexplicable deal, but Li Meng understands. Those captives really contacted their master's house, which was really efficient, and they actually passed the word so quickly.

The salt works and salt pans of the Lingshan Guard have not yet been renovated, so it is not a problem to let these captives live a few more days, and it is a good thing to do more work. Li Meng politely replied to the Yanyun envoy, saying that he just wanted to do a small business here, and thanked the Yanyun envoy for contacting him and meeting at any time.

If it is idle, then there is nothing to come to, if there is something, it is a lot of things to come to the door together, here to meet with Zheng shopkeeper, but there is also a letter from the Yamen of Jiaozhou Zhizhou, saying that Zhu Dadian, the governor of Shandong, wants to send someone to Jiaozhou camp.

The Jiaozhou battalion was established for nearly half a year, and it has always been a name, no one cares about it, this time it is a success, and it has finally attracted the attention of the above, Li Meng is worried that his subordinates will become more and more concerned about the court, and this salary makes him even more worried.

But since he is coming, he can't stop him with excuses, Li Meng arranged for Master Ning to inquire everywhere, how the officials sent by the governor should be entertained, and at present, everything is careful, and he can't offend people by losing his manners in such a trivial matter.

Who would have thought that the news that came back from the inquiry was different from what Li Meng imagined, and the above has always sent people to pay, this salary is a secondary matter, and the key issue is to check the number of people to see if you are eating empty amounts and greedy for military salaries.

This point Li Meng is not only hearted, he is only making up nearly double the amount here, the shortage is too incredible for him, the so-called things come to the door at the same time, Li Meng calculated the time, the official of the salary inspection and the shopkeeper of the Zheng family actually arrived here at about the same time, and the reception is really troublesome.

Since it is the inspection of the upper peak, Li Meng naturally has to be cautious, the veterans stationed in various parts of Shandong are all retreated, and the new Ding in Fengmeng Town and Jiaozhou is filled up, fortunately, they are all neighboring prefectures and counties, the number is not too much, and the local government is fully cooperating, and it does not take much effort.

In the Jiaozhou camp system, Li Meng has great talents, and the world is also accessible, but some small things always make people feel very strange, such as this inspection, everyone knows that the people above are just going through the motions, as long as it is entertained, the other party is happy, and when the time comes, you can find some flowers on the school field to stand on the field, and everything will be fine. But Li Meng was so solemn and cautious, the veterans of Yanding from all over the country were all transferred back to Jiaozhou, and the soldiers were not counted, except for the officers who had to stay behind, most of the officers also came back.

Some people also speculated whether Li Meng took this opportunity to grasp the strongest forces of the Jiaozhou battalion in his hands, but this idea is not tenable at all, from the soldiers to the officials, they are all dead set on Li Meng, why bother to play tricks to catch it.

So there is only one explanation left, that is, Li Meng is indeed sincere in dealing with the above salary test, which is too unbelievable, there are still people who act seriously in accordance with the rules and laws of the imperial court in these years, which really makes people laugh off their big teeth.

There are always many strange things in the last days, such as everyone is able to circumvent the laws of the court and exploit loopholes to make profits, and if anyone does it honestly, he will be a fool who is ridiculed by everyone. Of course, Li Meng is so majestic in Laizhou Mansion, no one dares to laugh at it.

Of the 2,500 soldiers, 400 of whom had light armor, 200 firearms, each soldier had a spear of more than 10 feet, and a saber, all of which had to be neatly organized, and the thick cloth uniforms of the soldiers had to be washed and cleaned.

Fortunately, it is almost the first month, and the loot captured in those years ago is simply sold cheaply, but it is also supplemented, so that it is not too nervous.

On the twenty-ninth day of the first month of the ninth year of Chongzhen, the Zheng shopkeeper of the Ba Fujian Commercial Bank came to Jiaozhou City, although the Zheng shopkeeper was wearing silk and satin, but it looked like he was still working hard at sea, he was very dark and strong, and his attitude towards people was very humble. First of all, he honestly sent the letter of introduction of the salt transport envoy to the inspection house, and after obtaining Li Meng's consent from the inspection yamen, he agreed on the time of the visit.

The shopkeeper Zheng of the Fujian Commercial Bank was so polite, Li Meng was not embarrassed, and on the day the post was delivered, he sent a message to the soldiers guarding the prisoners on the beach, saying that people did not need to be killed.

When I was about to receive it here, there was news from Laizhou Mansion that the person who was paying for the inspection should come on the third day of the second lunar month, and the difference between the two sides was only two days, which was really troublesome.

Zheng shopkeeper is in Fujian, the climate is warm and humid, presumably after crossing the Yangtze River, I feel cold and unbearable, wrapped tightly up and down, for fear that there is a little leakage. It stands to reason that this kind of shopkeeper who ransomes and buys prisoners is much lower in status than Li Meng.

But Li Meng is still waiting in the courtyard after entering the door, it is rare to see a historical celebrity, or a person related to celebrities, it is estimated that this Zheng shopkeeper and Zheng Zhilong should be some relatives, that Zheng shopkeeper was led into the door by the soldiers on duty, after hearing the introduction, said that standing in front of him was the Jiaozhou battalion guerrilla Li Lord, busy walking a few steps, ready to kneel on the ground to greet him.

Seeing this shopkeeper, Li Meng couldn't help laughing, the officers and soldiers of the Jiaozhou battalion could only add a jacket at most, but the shopkeeper Zheng looked at such a sturdy appearance, and he was actually wrapped in three layers inside and three layers outside, like a hairball, and the atmosphere was a little relaxed.

Li Meng saw the other party kneeling on the ground, hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, and said with a smile:

"The weather in Shandong is cold, and Shopkeeper Zheng must be very unaccustomed to it here."

Hearing Li Meng say this, this shopkeeper Zheng may also know that this matter may not be so difficult today, and laughed self-deprecatingly:

"Don't hide it from my lord, I've been in Shandong for more than three years, and I still can't stand this climate, and I will catch a cold if I wear one less."

The two sides casually said a few polite words, and entered the living room together, and as soon as they entered the room, the shopkeeper Zheng apologized respectfully to Li Menggong:

"It's all Zheng who didn't restrain the bastards below and offended the adult's tiger power, and I came here today to make amends to the adult and admit his mistakes, and I hope that Lord Li will be magnanimous and let these bastards go back with the villain."
