Chapter 271: Release and Take

Sun first congratulated the Lord on his victory in the battle with the Tartars, and from then on, the military might would inevitably spread far and wide. ”

In the end, he was a scholar, and when he entered the house, he officially congratulated the victory of the Jiaozhou battalion, if this battle had just ended, Li Meng would have denied the other party's statement, after the Jinan military discussion, his mind was a lot calmer, nodded and thanked the other party's congratulatory message, and waited for Sun Hedou's next words.

"The students came to see the adults this time, and they asked the adults to be kind and let them go!"

Hearing this, although Li Meng's face was silent, but his heart turned a corner, thinking that the other party wanted to leave, since the other party improved the artillery, this talent is already indispensable for the Jiaozhou battalion, although Li Meng does not know whether the improvement technology of these artillery pieces is original or has already existed. If someone in the West can get it through various methods, it will naturally be up to him, but no one can get these techniques from Sun Hedou's hands.

And according to Guo Dong's report, in the Ordnance Manufacturing Bureau, there are many places that benefit Sun Hedou, this Sun Hedou is different from those literati who talk about delusions, has a family history, and learns Western learning, has the characteristics of rare technical talents in this era, and often makes improvements to the details of casting and forging and materials, which is simply the existence of the brain in the Ordnance Manufacturing Bureau composed of a group of blacksmiths and craftsmen, and there is no shortage of practical operations, and the theory is too rare.

"Mr. Sun wants to leave, but I lost the courtesy of my Jiaozhou camp hospitality?"

Li Meng asked lightly, but he had already made up his mind in his heart, it was normal for the other party to want to leave, after all, he was not invited to Jiaozhou, but was forcibly captured by the Zheng family.

With the forced abduction, of course the other party will not stay here willingly, maybe he wants to go home, maybe for some other reason, but Li Meng is already planning to put these people under house arrest again, maybe it is to give the three sons of the Sun family too much freedom, so that they want more.

"The Jiaozhou camp treats me like a national soldier, and the daily busyness of the students is the best thing in life, how can I say that I am rude, but this time I came to intercede for the two brothers of the students!"

Li Meng didn't make a sound, nodded and motioned for the other party to continue, Sun Hedou opened his mouth again:

"Although the fort of the Li family manor is worry-free about food and clothing, it is still too aggrieved, although my two brothers are quiet scholars, but they also feel that it is not good for the children of the family, Sun Mou is brave and dares to ask the adults to let them go to the Tuntian Grange, where they participate in the public school, teach and educate people, after all, the world is vast."

It turned out to be this requirement, in the Tuntian Grange, Li Meng can also be closely monitored and controlled, and Sun Hejing and Sun Heding are scholars in the scholarly family, and their level is naturally much stronger than those broken children in the Tuntian Grange, and they can also strengthen the hearts of the people when they go.

Li Meng decided in his heart, but his face looked a little hesitant, and when Sun Hedou saw it, he hurriedly bowed deeply again, and pleaded:

"The Sun family is now in the hands of adults, and the student brothers will never do that foolish thing, please rest assured."

Seeing that his restraint had an effect, Li Meng nodded and said in a deep voice:

"Since Mr. Sun is so eager, Ben will agree, every province in Shandong has Jiaozhou industry, let your two brothers choose one by themselves!

When Sun Hedou heard this, his face showed a look of great joy, and he saluted and thanked him, at this time, someone outside the military tent lifted the curtain, and the guards outside glanced inside, this is the person who asked to see in the back, Sun Hedou got Li Meng's promise, and there was nothing else to invite, so he hurriedly said goodbye.

He walked to the edge of the tent, and just as he was about to go out, he heard Li Meng say leisurely behind him:

"Mr. Sun, what the Sun family holds in my hands is not only life and death, but also glory and wealth, and I don't want Mr. to stay in this poor country in Jiaozhou for a lifetime, and there is a future."

Hearing Li Meng's profound words, Sun Hedou's body stiffened, turned around with a smile and gave a salute again, and then walked out of the tent, looking at his mental state, as if he really understood the meaning of Li Meng's last sentence.

Li Meng looked at the cakes and mutton on the table, and it was already a little cold when he touched it with his hands, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly, thinking that other people's families said that they would enjoy wealth and prosperity, but he didn't have such a good fortune. I was really hungry, and I didn't care that the food was a little cold, so I started eating it directly.

This time, the pro-soldiers outside did not report, but first took the scabbard into the curtain and knocked on the ground a few times, Li Meng immediately understood, swallowed the bread in his mouth, and said loudly:

"Let him in!"

When the guests ask to see, the guards must spread it loudly, which is not only the rule of the superiors, but also the respect for the guests, but there are also some people's identities that cannot be known by outsiders, so there is such a method, the scabbard hits the ground, which is the notice of some people asking to see.

A person dressed as a soldier approached the military tent, and after coming in, he knelt on the ground to salute Li Meng, his attitude was very respectful, Li Meng nodded, and said:

"Huang Ping, is everyone in your family safe?"

Huang Ping, who was kneeling on the ground, replied respectfully:

"Thank you for your concern, my parents and brothers moved to Suzhou half a month ago, everything has been done, and the villain is grateful."

"I know you want to go into battle to fight and lead the troops to fight, but the Jiaozhou battalion lacks talents like you, but for the time being, I have wronged you, but you don't have to be discouraged, this career may not be able to be bigger, Li has always had clear rewards and punishments for his subordinates, as long as you do a good job and become bigger, don't worry about the rest!"

When Huang Ping heard Li Meng's words, he kowtowed three more times, and said, "Thank you for your grace." After all, this Huang Ping is an officer from a military family for generations, and he has been trained in Nanjing, and his style of behavior is quite particular about etiquette and rules.

Of course, Wang Hai has no authority to govern and intervene in Huang Ping's work, everything in Huang Ping is directly under Li Meng's command, Huang Ping and his subordinates' expenses and plans are reported, and the people outside are only Master Ning alone, and the rest are handled and accounted for by Mu Yunyao and others in the inner house, and these expenses are also purchased in the so-called inner house, and they are as secret as possible.

Li Meng's cronies are already generals who hold military power, but it is impossible to entrust them with such a private matter of spying on intelligence, Huang Ping is a professional generation of Jinyi Guard, and he is an outsider who does not belong to this group, he has a relatively independent attitude, and the finances and personnel are all in the hands of Li Meng, so he doesn't have to worry about anything else, and he is very relieved to use it.

On weekdays, when Li Meng meets people with a similar status to Huang Ping, or even a lower status, he rarely puts on a stand as a general and a general soldier, and his attitude is very amiable, but when he meets Huang Ping, he is full of power and never pretends to be colorful.

When outsiders saw it, they thought that Huang Ping was not liked by Li Meng, and even the attitude of outsiders towards Huang Ping was lukewarm, but few people knew that Huang Ping was the leader of the system in the secret of the Jiaozhou camp.

Li Meng paused and asked:

"I called you here today and asked you a few things, the first thing is, how is the recruitment of personnel on your side?"

Huang Ping knelt on the ground and replied respectfully:

"In this recruitment, the young children who came up from the local government to sign up for the army, and among the rejected ones were selected to be 140 people for use, and 15 people were recruited, and they were ready to take them to various places in Shandong for training after the recruitment was completed, so that they could come in handy as soon as possible."

Li Meng nodded, groaned and reminded:

"The time the Tartars entered Shandong, those who escaped, those who did not move, and those who said cool words, must be severely punished, so that they have no place of their own in Shandong, and they must be able to use these reckless bandits, after that incident, you don't need those people, our own children in the Jiaozhou camp can be used as the core, and those reckless bandits outside, if they are obedient, they can still be used as the periphery."

These words are all plain words, but they have lifted two restrictions for Huang Ping, reminding him that he does not have to take care of the overall situation, for the sake of the so-called future, but also to give face to those reckless people who are scattered and fleeing in the big war, and do not pay attention to faithfulness, and also kill people and establish authority, and although there is that time, don't use them, although the core important things are of course done by the Jiaozhou battalion's own children, and some of the cooperation on the periphery is still more convenient for these people.

In general, as long as Huang Ping does it, it will be much more convenient and effective in the future, which is actually a disguised weight to Huang Ping, and Huang Ping hurriedly thanked him solemnly.

"Are you familiar with the local pirates in Shandong, do you want that kind of famous and obedient character?"

Li Meng was silent for a moment before he said the second question, Huang Ping knelt on the ground and his brain teaser was quick, but he quickly gave the answer and said:

"There are no people like Dengzhou Mansion and our Laizhou Mansion, but the subordinate people have been in contact with such characters in Qingzhou Mansion and Xinyang Town, and there are one or two hundred people under them, but since our Jiaozhou camp has set the rules, it is honest, scattering people and horses to fish and farm at home."

"I'm going to see this guy in three days, so let's do it now!"
