Let's not talk about how worried the city is, in the military tent in front of the city gate, all the senior officers who followed Li Meng on the expedition this time are in the tent.

It was a very easy battle, with very little damage on his side, but he brought out the prestige of the Jiaozhou battalion, Li Meng's mood was extremely comfortable, and there were many people in the military tent, not only the generals in the Yanzhou army, the pro-military battalion and the horse army, but also the civilian and civil personnel who went out with the army.

The work of purging the remnants of the enemy and patrolling the surrounding area is not too complicated, and the officers in the camp are quite leisurely.

After seeing Li Meng's attitude, Chen Liu knew that his performance had won the favor of the commander, and the merits of the bloody battle of crossing the river were transmitted back to Shandong, compared to the people who talked about it, Chen Liu's heart was like a boulder falling to the ground, and his position in the Jiaozhou camp finally did not have to worry about being left behind.

In fact, Li Meng was extremely satisfied with the performance of Chen Liu's Yanzhou army, and this battle was supposed to let the recruits see the bloodshed of the battlefield, and there were no too quantitative requirements. But he still underestimated the thieves under the city in advance, and the thieves who flocked to the river were indeed very troublesome.

Li Meng thought about it, if he was to face such an obstacle, he would generally choose to change to 6 o'clock, lay out the formation, and slowly push over.

However, if the Jiaozhou battalion took its time, it would be in line with Song Dagang's intentions, and the thieves did not expect victory, then Song Dagang just wanted to let these homeless people and rebels on the shore stop the officers and soldiers and buy himself time to escape.

Now the various units of the Jiaozhou battalion. The harder the training, the more complete the drills, and various exercises and assessments are used to supervise the training of soldiers in peacetime, but Li Meng also feels that there is a fly in the ointment, and these soldiers are lined up in formation under complete training. Well-armed. In the event of a war with the other side, especially in the possible enemies around Shandong, it is difficult to have the possibility of defeat.

It is not bad for the soldiers to continue to train like this. It's a little twilight, Li Meng himself has always had such worries, but Chen Liudi's performance swept away his worries, this kind of bloody and courageous courage that dares to desperately rush to kill is one of the characteristics that the Jiaozhou battalion needs most.

Yesterday, he laughed and scolded Chen Liu for being a madman, but today the generals are gathered here, and Li Meng is going to praise him solemnly, and there are several staff members from the literati in the room. It is here to record the needs of the battle report and other writing, Li Meng smiled and said:

"Liuzi, your performance yesterday. Worthy of a brave word, this kind of fighting, Fang is the true color of a man, not bad, not bad! ”

Li Meng praised like this, Wang Hai who returned to the military tent, and Tang Er of the horse team all agreed in a continuous voice, and Chen Liu could behave like this. They were all happy, too. As for those thousand generals of the Yanzhou Army, naturally there will be no other objections. Li Meng said a few words briefly, feeling that his praise was a little poor in language and not effective enough.

At this time, Li Meng remembered that there were similar examples in the past, which were also the actions of brave generals, which can be used as a metaphor, and he praised with a smile at the moment:

"I remember that there was also a tiger general in the past, the enemy was on the other side of the river, he waded across the river, brandished a spear, rushed directly into the enemy formation, and defeated the enemy army.

After saying this, the generals all laughed, Li Meng just remembered that there was such an example, but he didn't remember who it was, and these generals under him naturally didn't know, they only felt that the guerrilla Chen Liu was not inferior to the ancient tiger generals, which in itself was a great honor, and he praised it loudly.

Several literati who were listening on the side looked a little strange, and after looking at each other a few times, the one with the highest status stood up, trotted to Li Meng's side, and whispered a few words in his ear.

Originally, he was talking about being happy here, but suddenly someone came to whisper, Li Meng was a little unhappy, but after listening to the literati, Li Meng's own expression also became strange, coughed a few times, and said in a loud voice:

"The Yanzhou army fought well this time, and after going back, it will be heavily praised, this Kaifeng City is also weird, our Shandong soldiers and horses came to relieve the siege successfully, this seat looks at this guard is a little stricter than when it came, is it better to prevent us than to guard against the thief?"

A few words, without a trace, the topic was pulled away, as soon as he finished saying this, the officers didn't care, because Li Meng didn't plan to enter the city, this matter was not very happy, there was a kind of helping others but not being thanked, although it was a duty, but there was always a little annoyance.

When the whispering scholar heard Li Meng say this, he hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted, and explained:

"The villain followed the fleet all the way and chatted with the boatman, saying that in this Henan land, if the city is attacked by thieves, the force of defending the city is only eight points, if the officers and soldiers come to relieve the siege, the force of defending the city is ten, even if the siege is lifted, the city gate will never be opened, and the belongings of the labor army are thrown under the city, so that the officers and soldiers can take it themselves."

These words attracted everyone's attention, and Wang Hai's eyes widened and asked:

"Why is it so ridiculous, don't the people of Henan know what to do?"

One of the other scholars who had been sitting in the back also stood up and said with a smile:

"Adults don't know, Henan is known as a folk proverb thief like a comb, soldiers like a grate, officials such as shaving is not a perennial local soldiers and horses, easy not to put in, otherwise it will be very miserable, this world, that is, our Shandong is a place with rules, all the wisdom of the handsome!"

Someone got up, how could there be any reason not to follow the fun, the generals and literati in the military tent all stood up with their fists clenched, and said in unison:

"Shandong Taiping, all the commanders are wise and martial."

Li Meng waved his hand and said with a smile:

"Suddenly it's coming to me again, sit down, sit down!"

Everyone loves to listen to good words, and everyone flattered them, Li Meng's heart was naturally comfortable, Li Meng looked at the scribe who had just gotten up and whispered, smiled and nodded. Full of appreciation.

The topic was already turned in another direction by these scribes, and the scribe who whispered was indeed a clever and transparent character who could be of great use.

And this scribe Li Meng also knew him, and he was a staff member next to Zhou Yang, and it is said that he was a well-known talent in Shandong Province in the past, surnamed Yuan. It's called Yuan Wenhong. Ziyun Yi.

As for why the topic turned to cross the river, rush into the enemy formation, and win a great victory. There is indeed an example of this in history, and this brave general is also famous.

The crux of the matter is that this general is not suitable for a metaphor, because he is the founding father of the Ming Dynasty - Chang Yuchun, Yuan and Ming alternated, and when the Tartars were expelled, Chang Yuchun led the army to attack Quarry Rock. The shore is full of Yuan soldiers who are nervously on guard, and they often cross the river in the spring and attack. When he arrived at the shore, he didn't know what the Yuan army thought, but he also dragged the spear shaft and dragged Chang Yuchun ashore, but the tiger entered the flock, slashed and killed, and won a big victory.

Chang Yuchun is one of the most outstanding generals among the founding heroes of the Ming Dynasty, and once boasted. Give me 100,000 soldiers. Since it should be rampant in the world.

Using Chang Yuchun as a metaphor for Chen Liu, this is a great praise for Chen Liu. But if Chen Liu often encounters spring, then Li Meng, who is Chen Liu's boss, should compare himself.

As the chief soldier of the Ming Dynasty, he dared to compare himself with Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, this is a real transgression, at least a crime with bad intentions can't escape.

Although the camp tent is full of cronies and generals in the Jiaozhou camp, and the current things that Li Meng is doing are not too much in his eyes, but this matter is unintentionally said, it is always inappropriate, and it will cause a lot of unnecessary trouble.

Clearly reminding people will attract attention, so it is better to tear the topic away so silently, which is a very safe statement.

That Yuan Wenhong stood aside, seeing Li Meng's expression, he was also happy in his heart, the system of the Jiaozhou camp is not long, but it is very complete, the so-called early stage of grass-roots creation, there are many opportunities to get ahead, this statement is not very suitable for the literati system of the Jiaozhou camp, ordinary people have a rare opportunity to perform in front of Li Meng, and they have grasped it, and they will definitely have a lot of benefits in the future.

The Ming generals don't know the allusions to the spring land, which is also a strange thing, the scribes in the tent are a little strange, but it is just strange, this arrogant behavior, I don't know why, these scholars don't think this is a big deal, and they take it for granted.

The scribes who followed the army had to observe everything along the way from the perspective of civil affairs, and although the intelligence agencies of Lingshan Trading House and Huang Ping could also provide a lot of information, it was still better to come and see it in person, and what they collected and observed was more intuitive and convincing.

Li Meng's Jiaozhou camp has always been based in Shandong Zhan, for the outside of the understanding is not in-depth, Henan Province is next to the Yanzhou Mansion in Shandong Province, the cities along the Yellow River and Jiaozhou camp have such and such a relationship, for the future possibility, it is naturally necessary to have an in-depth understanding.

This time, more than 30 civilian personnel followed, and the highest status was Zhou Yang's deputy, that is, a scribe who performed in the military tent, Yuan Wenhong, a famous genius in Yanzhou Mansion back then, originally he also had a self-sufficient industry in Jining Prefecture, and he was idle to study knowledge, write articles, and his life was very comfortable, and he never imagined that he would serve under the curtain of a certain military general.

Yuan Wenhong's ancestral property and fertile fields are unlucky, but unlucky enough to be unlucky in his family's field is just on the edge of the Confucian Grange, and the big landlords in Shandong are imitating Li Meng to expand desperately, but Li Meng, the general soldier of Shandong, has a way to annex the land, specifically to buy bankrupt fields and take in landless displaced people.

But the Confucian Mansion has never been so particular, the good land near the Confucian Mansion's field, as long as it is not as powerful as Yan Shenggong, then swallow it, originally this Yuan Wenhong's field can be barely maintained in the disaster year, but helplessly, this good land was targeted by several people in the long house of the Confucian Mansion.

Even if Yuan Wenhong is a genius, even if he has the identity of a person, a behemoth like the Holy Duke of Keyan is not something that a mere genius can contend with.

Yan Sheng Gong entrusted the magistrate to fabricate a crime casually, and he was going to be convicted and fined for confiscating the family property, seeing that Yuan Wenhong's family was about to die, but it was also his luck, Kong Sande, the head of the Wenru firm, admired Yuan Wenhong very much, don't look at Kong Sande likes to enjoy luxury, but he is also a descendant of the saint, and he also reads articles in his spare time.

Kong Sande is just a sideline who is good at making money in the Kong family, and the annexation of land is bought by people in long houses. He helped Yuan Wenhong only to keep his family safe, and other things were not easy to talk about, Kong Sande simply funded Yuan Wenhong with some silver and let him leave Shandong far away.

It's a pity that on weekdays, this Yuan Wenhong often says that he is indifferent to fame and fortune, who would have thought of this, he himself is like an ant in the eyes of the children of Confucius. Life and death, honor and disgrace are all manipulated by others.

This incident touched him a lot. Presumably, you are not so indifferent to the fame and wealth, but these days, if you are not a Jiangnan person. It has nothing to do with the so-called Didong Linshi people, a scholar in Shandong, if he wants to show off in his career, it is really difficult.

Fortunately, Yuan Wenhong is a talented man after all, his brain is very useful, and he understands the situation a lot more than others, and he doesn't know what determination he has made, anyway, he is bringing his family with him. Defected directly to Li Meng's Jiaozhou camp.

For such literati who are willing to serve him, Li Meng is naturally happy. Yuan Wenhong is very talented, and he is not bad at doing these economical and practical government affairs, and when Yuan Wenhong defected to the Jiaozhou camp, there were not many literati in this military group, and Yuan Wenhong was also scarce.

However, at that time, there were many literati in Yanzhou and even on the ground in Shandong who were skeptical, sarcastic, and ridiculed Yuan Wenhong's decision. Even Nakong Sande was regretful. If you go to the command of a general, you might as well be a Qingke literati here. It is also a worry-free life.

At that time, Li Meng was still guarding the Laizhou Prefecture and the generals, and it was really not so optimistic.

When Li Meng became the chief soldier of Shandong, it was revealed that Yuan Wenhong had a good vision, and his identity was naturally rising with the tide, and now he also had the title of an official of the sixth grade.

Although many things are not explicitly stated in the civil and military system of the Jiaozhou battalion, there is still a consensus from top to bottom, and both martial artists and literati are working in the direction of this consensus on weekdays.

For example, these scholars under Zhou Yang and Ning Qiangui may not go to all places in Shandong to serve as magistrates, but they must have been to these places and have a certain understanding of the situation in various places.

The Lingshan Commercial Bank went to the caravans of the merchants in and outside the province in Shandong Province, and several scholars in the system followed in the name of the account office to observe the customs and customs of various places, and the Huaibei Army stationed in Haizhou also had similar people.

Li Meng urgently summoned the Yanzhou army in Jining Prefecture and rescued Kaifeng from the waterway, Yuan Wenhong happened to come back with more than 20 people from Yanzhou's capital city of Rongyang.

The fleet was not moving fast, and Yuan Wenhong and his group of literati had been carefully observing the various situations along the way and recording these observations.

It is said that these staff, account offices, and masters of the Jinan Prefecture or the Yanzheng Department in Jiaozhou to inspect the yamen have nothing to do with the customs and customs of Henan Province, but to do these work, maybe they will definitely be used one day in the future, but it is not clear what day it is.

Although the city gate is not opened, but the city of Kaifeng still put a lot of wine and pigs and sheep below, which is regarded as a reward, and the officials of the Kaifeng prefect and the political envoy of the Yamen in the city are waiting at the head of the wall in fear, pondering how many reasons to shirk and not let the other party enter the city.

But after the soldiers under the city camped, they didn't mention anything about entering the city, except for guarding the prisoners and cutting off the rank to make the Jingguan, which is really strange.

The general who stayed in Kaifeng City has always looked at the soldiers and horses under the city, and the more he looked, the more confused he felt, and he wondered several times whether the soldiers and horses under the city were pretending to be thieves, or the soldiers of foreign tribes were confused below, of course, these two ideas were too unbelievable, the key was that these Shandong soldiers and horses were too different from the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty.

Li Meng's Jiaozhou battalion has always been in Shandong, and they have not seen or heard of them in other provinces of the Ming Dynasty.

After Song Dagang's rank was sent to the head of the city, the number of militia Ding Zhuang guarding the Kaifeng city wall increased a lot, and he was preoccupied with the Shandong soldiers and horses under the city. However, two days later, the people in Kaifeng City and the Shandong soldiers and horses under the city did not seem to have any idea of entering the city.

The enemy has gone, seeing that these Shandong soldiers and horses have no intention of entering the city, the people in the city quickly relaxed, and the people were just mobilized to defend the city, and they had to work hard for their livelihood at home.

Tens of thousands of prisoners began to disperse in groups under the laissez-faire of the Yanzhou army in the Jiaozhou battalion, although the Yanzhou army did not torture and kill the prisoners, but they also did not care about food, these exiles and rebels who became prisoners could not stay by the Yellow River and starve to death, since these officers and soldiers did not mean to guard them, the prisoners also had the courage to go by themselves.

Although the people in Kaifeng City watched the captives gradually disperse, few people noticed that the homeless people and the rebels had become a team, almost in one direction.

On the night of their captivity, the exiles and rebels met many zealous "fellow countrymen" and "determined zealous companions", and at the instigation of these people, the captives, who had regained their freedom, went in a certain direction, yes, these exiles all went in one direction.

On the fourth day after the siege of Kaifeng City was lifted, the captives were almost dispersed, and Kaifeng City faced the city wall in the direction of the Shandong soldiers and horses, that is, the officers and soldiers who stayed behind were looking around, and they looked down without a match. At noon, there were suddenly more people on the city wall, and a middle-aged man in a yellow robe walked to the front of the battlement, surrounded by a group of officials.

An official wearing the governor's uniform politely said to the middle-aged man:

"Lord, the lower officials say a word, the vassal king is not allowed to make friends with foreign ministers and generals, this is the iron law of the imperial court, but it is a general soldier of Shandong, the lower officials find an envoy to hang down, and it is just a matter of appeasing him, why should the prince come in person!"

Although the words were polite, the gun and stick in it were quite unkind, and the middle-aged man known as the prince frowned, and said in a deep voice:

"Governor Li, this king is standing by your side, just to look at the soldiers and horses under the city to relieve the siege, what are you worried about, are you worried that this king will rebel!"

When Li Xianfeng, the governor of Henan, heard King Zhou say this, he bowed without smiling, and said with a smile:

"It's just to remind the prince, the lower official lost his words for a while, and I hope the prince won't be surprised!"

The local governors and officials, in addition to governing the people's livelihood, should also monitor the local relatives and nobles to prevent them from plotting against them, although the gold and silver raised by the people in Kaifeng City and the city were still taken out by the King of Zhou, but after the siege of the city was lifted, the governor Li Xianfeng immediately became careful.

King Zhou had a gloomy face, nodded at a guard beside him, there were already people from the palace who carried out some of the equipment in the arrow tower at the head of the city, there were thick ropes and big bamboo baskets, and the two thick wooden sticks were placed between the battlements, and the ropes and bamboo baskets were tied.

Li Xianfeng, the governor of Henan, also has to deal with the soldiers often, looking at the Shandong soldiers and horses under the city on the head of the city, the camp is extraordinary, Li Xianfeng can't help but have some activities in his mind, and thinks:

"Henan is in turmoil everywhere, if you can use the power of Shandong soldiers and horses to pacify, it is also a way!"

Li Meng originally wanted to keep a low profile, but looking at the situation in front of him, he had miscalculated......

Get up at six o'clock in the morning, cars, planes, subways, cars, it's really a toss, seeing the growth of monthly passes, Lao Bai is full of energy, and I hope you will vote for Lao Bai with the monthly pass in your hand, your subscription and monthly pass is the driving force for Lao Bai to move forward.
