Chapter 178: Back to Jiaozhou

Whether it was tens of thousands of taels of gold and silver, or an officer, Li Meng was not surprised, but this obviously had a similar posture to the strong spear girl, which really made him dumbfounded.

"Although these two women are from the fireworks *** place, they are still innocent now, and they can't be their wives, but it's good to stay in the back house to serve, and the master will buy someone over there and give it to the young master."

Liu Qian's words were not very smooth, after all, you can't say anything like "please laugh", Li Meng couldn't help but look back at the official ship, he thought that the ship was used by other families, but who thought that it was used for himself, used to pretend to be a stunning female dependent, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Seeing him like this, Liu Qian thought it was embarrassing, and the old housekeeper made a rare joke:

"Young master, you are also a rich party, although these two women spend a lot of money, it is still easy to raise!"

Li Meng shook his head, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he pondered in his heart, this is not a bad thing, why should he refuse, even if he looks at it every day, it is very eye-catching.

Money, subordinates, beauties, weapons, this time to Nanjing is a lot of gains, Li Meng felt that this was already too much, just about to say another word of thanks, but heard Liu Qian say:

"There is another thing, the master wants the villain to pass it on to the young master, the master has already sent someone to the Beijing division yesterday for activities, and the position of a general will not be able to run after the year."

Yes, there is another official position of a general here, and with the energy of the old eunuch, it must not be a title, but a real position, Li Meng sighed in his heart, he had no intention of saving people for good. I didn't expect such a return today. After Liu Qian said this, it seemed that there was really no important matter to explain, so he just bowed and said:

"The villain wishes the young master a smooth journey, and this is the farewell."

Li Meng, who had always wanted to say thank you and farewell, didn't know what to say at this time, so he could only bow down and clench his fists. He bowed to the steward and turned to get into the boat.

This is the Zheng Jiadi fleet, the leader is a person who ate and drank together in Meilou that day, standing at the bow of the boat and shouting, holding the long pole with a small flag in his hand high and shaking, the fleet sailed, and slowly left the ferry. Li Meng stood at the bow of the boat. He waved at the people who were standing on the shore to see them off.

Calculate the time. Chongzhen's nine-year Laba should have been spent on the boat, these days of Di Bao Tang Bao, Liu Qian is arranging people to Li Meng to collect it, there is no other news on it, the world is gradually peaceful, Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong seem to be still wandering around, still as usual, not new.

However, when Li Meng was in the city of Nanjing. Korea, a subordinate country of the Ming Dynasty for hundreds of years, was being attacked by the Eastern Jurchens and was on the verge of annihilation. In addition to letting the envoy desperately go to the Ming Court for help. There is no way around it.

The Ming court now knows nothing about the affairs of Joseon.

The thirteenth month of the ninth year of Chongzhen. Li Meng's sea boat docked at the wharf near the Lingshan Salt Field, and this time he came back as a surprise to everyone in the Jiaozhou camp, and some restless emotions finally quieted down.

It took more than ten days for the ship to be at sea, but the speed of Nanjing and Jingshi was much faster, and the governor had already sent an envoy to greet him, so that Li Meng was ready to meet the envoy of the Qincha, Li Meng was already promoted from a capital secretary to the general of Laizhou, from the rank of Sanpin.

This kind of eunuch who delivers the decree is very easy to fight, and sending some silver is, what these people in the Jiaozhou camp are worried about is that the eunuch who delivered the decree is coming, but they can't see Li Meng, which is not easy to explain.

Li Meng returned to Jiaozhou, the happiest thing was Mu Yunyao, the identity of the county lord of the Zhu family is sensitive, although the Zhou Wangfu in Henan has already announced that the county lord died of a sudden illness, but it has to be prevented, after Li Meng left, Mu Yunyao was strictly confined to the house where she lived and was not allowed to go out.

After being bored for so long, it was really torture for this girl, Li Meng came back, and the order to trap her was naturally invalid, but when he went to greet Li Meng happily, he saw the two girls who were sent as "parting gifts", and saw the two women whose appearance was not inferior to his own, and his style even had a good time, Mu Yunyao's mood instantly turned cloudy, looking at the dress of the two girls, and the maids, they were all on the top.

But I read Di Bao and Tang Bao every day in Jiaozhou, analyzed the news, and provided consultation, so hard, but it was the mother-in-law of those military households who served me, who were rude, although they got along well, but when compared like this, I felt that my heart was very unbalanced.

The girl's temper has been restrained, but the essence has not changed, so she went directly to Li Meng to have a small temper, the reason is very simple, go to such a prosperous place in Nanjing, and don't bring some gifts back.

However, this resentment quickly dissipated, and the reason for the dissipation was very simple, although Li Meng was a little embarrassed, he still explained the origin of these two women in 1510, of course this explanation would not satisfy Mu Yunyao, the reason for the dissipation was Li Meng's reaction, he just knew that a woman was Gu Hengbo, but what was the name and origin of the other Qingli woman, he still didn't know when he arrived in Jiaozhou.

Looking at the "land of fireworks" that Liu Qian said, I think it is a girl who is about the same background as Gu Hengbo, and it is really pitiful to think that this girl is really pitiful, when Liu Qian gave it away, he didn't mention their names, and Li Meng didn't care about what the surname was.

Seeing Li Meng's indifferent appearance, all of Mu Yunyao's temper turned into nothing, and she became happy again, and the sense of threat she originally felt naturally disappeared.

This side doesn't take it seriously at all, but they don't know that Nanjing City has been blown upside down, no, it should be that the entire literary world in Jiangnan has exploded.

"Shameless castration, obscene acts, until the grass withers......"

The above is the judgment of Jiangnan Shilin to Li Mengxia, on the banks of the Qinhuai River, the place where fireworks are expensive, is not only a place to play with women and flirt, but also a place where scholars and literati gather, and most of the Donglin Qing dignitaries who currently control the civil official system are from Jiangnan Shilin, Su Songchang Sanfu of Nanzhili.

In the eyes of these scholars, Gu Hengbo is really a fairy-like figure, he is the first in Nanqu, and all kinds of fame make them feel that Gu Hengbo can only marry a talented man in the Donglin Party to not treat Gu everyone's reputation.

As for some ideas, Qian Qianyi, Gong Dingyu and other famous people who had already had this intention were even more verbally criticized, calling them moral corruption, eunuchs running rampant, and there was a hidden apocalypse like Yunyun. Fortunately, Zhang Pugang, who was reinstated in the society, took a large sum of money from Liu Fulai, the eunuch who guarded the town, and it was difficult to open his mouth by means of taking people's money, otherwise the momentum of denouncing the eunuchs would be even greater.

The rhetoric of these Donglin literati attacks is quite exquisite, and it would be ridiculous and generous to write things like jealousy, so they talk about the harm of eunuchs in power everywhere, and talk about the harm of those officials and magnates who were attached to eunuchs back then, and the spearhead is directly aimed at Li, the nephew of the eunuch who guarded the town.

When Li Meng was still on the ship, the name of this "eunuch party" was already confirmed, but fortunately, this kind of news was not a military matter, but only circulated among scholars, and did not reach Shandong for the time being.

Now the name of this eunuch party is not as good as Wei Zhongxian's government, at that time, if it is a eunuch party, it can run rampant in the government and the opposition, if it is a eunuch party at this time, then it will be unlucky to do anything, today's Chongzhen Emperor still attaches great importance to the so-called "world corporal" mouth.

Even the powerful Wang Chengen, Cao Huachun and other big eunuchs must avoid suspicion and make a close attitude towards the scholars, mainly the Donglin Party among the scholars.

If Liu Fulai, the eunuch guarding the town of Nanjing, repaired the book to Wang Chengen, the chief eunuch of the ceremonial eunuch, and let the other party see the favor of taking the initiative to give up the position of the ceremonial eunuch, and give Li Mengmou a real shortage of generals somewhere in Shandong, I am afraid that the name of this eunuch and treacherous villain will be confirmed.

The eunuch who passed the decree got two thousand taels of silver and left Jiaozhou happily, which was really a triple jump promotion, from the original capital to the general who guarded the Laizhou capital.

However, this time, whether it was the governor or Denglai Road, no one came to check the soldiers and horses, but according to the rules, they paid 7,000 people a year's salary-naturally it was a layer of deductions.

Now Li Meng's subordinates, whether they are soldiers or salt soldiers, can be regarded as soldiers guarding Laizhou General Li Meng, and the Jiaozhou battalion has naturally been upgraded to the Laizhou battalion.

At present, the plan to move to Huguang has not been told below, but the news that the land will be released instead of military salaries has spread vigorously, and everyone feels full of enthusiasm in their hearts.

And Li Meng went out for two months, but when he came back, he was already a real general, this kind of leap in the position is really amazing, Li Meng's side, the former officials at all levels must have followed the rising tide, the former general manager, thousand generals, this time how to go to the position of the garrison, the capital division.

These people are promoted, and they will definitely have to vacate a number of positions, and there are countless opportunities for promotion to official wealth, and the more motivated the people below are, they all want to perform well in front of the new staff general Li Meng, and lay a foundation for their official position and wealth.

Those Haoqiang in the border area of Qingzhou Mansion and Yanzhou Mansion, as well as Zhuangzi near Xiajin County, Dongchang Prefecture, are nervously watching the movements of Liu Zeqing in Caozhou and Li Meng in Jiaozhou.

On the twenty-third day of the ninth month of Chongzhen, Li Mengxingwen, the new general of Laizhou, was appointed to inspect the yamen, saying that Liu Zeqing, the chief military officer and the governor of the left capital, plundered the place, ran rampant and colluded with bandits.

Shandong Shake ......

Yesterday afternoon, I caught a cold by this damn office air conditioner, and continued to ask for a monthly pass, the air conditioner is hot, the air conditioner is cold, the air conditioner is cold, and the overtime is not turned on, which is really a classic
