In the sixteenth year of Chongzhen, the eighteenth day of the first month, dusk, in the city of Jinan, the mansion of the general in Zhendong......

In the backyard of the General Soldier's Mansion, there was constantly laughter wafting out, and since Li Meng returned to Shandong, there was a rare joyful atmosphere in the Zhendong General's Mansion.

The Dengzhou army did not rush back to the station of Dengzhou Mansion, but rested on the spot at the junction of Jinan Mansion and Qingzhou Mansion, and took advantage of the busy agricultural season to recruit Zhuang Ding to supplement the troops in the Zhuang protection team of Tuntian Grange, so Zhao Neng and Wang Tao and other senior generals also stayed in Jinan.

Their families were also taken over, which made the General Military Mansion even more lively, Mu Yunyao's waist was getting thicker, and it was already a little inconvenient to move, but these noble ladies in Shandong did not have the enjoyment of those ladies in Jingshi, but gathered together to sew the clothes of the soon-to-be-born children and prepare supplies such as swaddling clothes, which was also a pleasure.

Li Meng often led Li Hong to take a look around, the old camp and the Dengzhou army are now resting, the food is naturally prepared according to the grade of the New Year's dinner, and the training amount of the soldiers has also been appropriately reduced.

On the contrary, Zhou Yang and Ning Qiangui's system began to operate intensively after the seventh day of the first lunar month, recruiting soldiers from various Tuntian Granges, supplementing the military funds consumed by Shandong's soldiers and horses, issuing pensions, revising Chongzhen's budget for 16 years, and changing the nationality of military families in Tuntian, which had already begun.

This kind of work, are tedious and heavy, mentally draining, can not make mistakes of the important things, the result of these people are busy, even the chief secretary Yuan Wenhong has to deal with confidential military affairs every morning, in the afternoon to bring people over to help, in such a heavy practice, the Jiaozhou battalion small civilian system began to expand, began to recruit more practical scholars into the Jiaozhou battalion system.

Different from the previous hesitation, now there is a phenomenon of taking the initiative to take effect, and it is not the former scholars who have failed to live in the Jiaozhou camp, but people with fame and career have come one after another, thinking that the big victory that shocked the world also shocked them.

Originally, the Jiaozhou battalion was prepared to come over, and all the people accepted it. Who would have thought that it would be too big to come, but this is around the lunar month and the first lunar month, God knows where these scholars came from so much energy.

In desperation, Zhou Yang, Ning Qiangui and Li Meng consulted for instructions, and then discussed with Sun Chuanting and Liu Fulai, and decided to use the examination to select talents who are proficient in practice.

Unexpectedly, this examination was even bigger than the sensation caused by the recruitment itself, Shandong, Nanzhili and the Beizhili territory near Hejian Mansion, all the literati were sensational, and it was rumored that Shandong would open its own imperial examination and collect the world's corporals. It's hard to be an official these days. The career is controlled by Donglin.

A large number of locals want to find other ways, Shandong has the prestige of this new victory, and it wants to recruit talents among the literati, which is naturally exciting.

However, the recruitment of manpower is a little surprising, this talent selection, the talent is not rare, and there are no less than 100 people, but the first to admit are some scribes. However, these people are not people who are dead readers, but have been exposed to social practice, and such talents are the most suitable for the civil service system of the Jiaozhou battalion, and these people are urgently needed at this time.

Those people and talents are naturally full of opinions, but if they can get famous, how many brains are better than ordinary people, and it is too late to adjust the focus in time to meet the needs of the Jiaozhou battalion.

The results of the recruitable personnel spread slowly. The shock caused was even worse than the previous time, the previous time it was just said that Shandong wanted to make a situation of its own, and set up the imperial examination under the pretext of recruiting people from all over the world, but the selection of characters focused on real talent and real learning. The practice of not looking at the merits and allusions. But it gives hope to those who have a skill, but are not literati.

The one who heard about it. Feel worthy of being the chosen one, no matter where you are. I want to come to Shandong to try, after all, if you want to be an official in the Ming Dynasty, you must work hard in the Confucian classics, not everyone can read and read well.

Compared with the tense work of the civil officials, the generals are much more relaxed, after the Hejian Mansion annihilated the Tartar soldiers and horses, the Shandong soldiers and horses finally realized their own strength, although the North Zhili is stationed in more than 200,000 troops, although the South Zhili is still in the dog's tooth staggered, but the Shandong soldiers and horses can still rest step by step.

The generals also came to the New Year's reunion with a relaxed mood, after all, after the war, people's ** and spirit are extremely tired, and they must have a full rest.

The backyard of the General Military Mansion was renovated at Li Meng's special request, and it is impossible to find such a wide and vast courtyard in the mansion of ordinary nobles.

There are no pavilions and water pavilions in this yard, and there are no rockery trees, it is flat and neat, the ground is paved with a piece of green bricks, there are special drainage pipes under the masonry, and the rest of the places are tamped with sand and gravel, and someone checks it every day, if there are potholes on the ground, it will be replaced immediately, and it will be kept flat at all times.

Matching this courtyard is the weapon rack and various fitness equipment by the wall, yes, this is a miniature version of the school field, Li Meng finished inspecting the various military camps, and after being busy with official business, a lot of time was spent in this courtyard.

Everyone has their own foundation and reliance, can rely on the capital, Li Meng knows that he is a general, as a military general, he can't delusionally rely on his own wisdom to solve everything, not to mention that his wisdom is not outstanding, Li Meng relies on his own strength and martial arts, as well as his army and financial resources.

These things can't be left behind for a moment, Li Meng feels that his daily training is even harder than in the army in modern times, and sometimes he is helpless when he thinks about it, thinking that now he has earned a lot of wealth, but this enjoyment is more than ten years of hard work, what do you want?

Then he comforted himself that now that he has earned such a big career, if he doesn't work hard and diligently, I'm afraid that he won't even be able to save his life, and he will have a chance in the future.

But on the afternoon of the eighteenth day of the first lunar month, Li Meng's contact was not so large, but it was easy and interesting, because Li Meng's son Li Hong took this slender bamboo pole in his hand to compete with him.

The thickness of this bamboo pole is just the same as that of a child, and the top is polished and extremely smooth, and the front and back ends are wrapped with cotton cloth, so that he can not hurt others or himself. Just make a practice tool.

Li Hong is lively and active, his body is much stronger than the average child, Li Meng and Yan Ruoran both have their own business, and they don't care about his time, but they can't let him run around like crazy every day.

However, Li Meng felt that it was better for a child who was less than three years old to learn to write words and write articles, and it was better to exercise well, and it was better to teach him enlightenment knowledge such as reading words and sentences than Yan Ruoran and several other women. It won't delay things either.

In the past few years, the world has been in turmoil. Xuewen may not be able to run when the disaster comes, and if he learns martial arts, he can still have the ability to save his life, besides, Li Meng is a general, and Li Hong will definitely inherit this great cause in the future.

Learn martial arts and exercise your body. This is also how it should be, so Yan Ruoran, Mu Yunyao, Gu, and Liu Ernu have no objections to this matter, and they are quite in favor. Li Meng is fighting outside, he doesn't have much time at home, he has been at home for so many days, and today is also a place of interest, he wants to test Li Hongdi's martial arts, to put it bluntly, he is to tease his son to play.

Boys are all inclined to martial arts, and they heard that their father was going to test themselves. Although Li Hong's little head didn't quite understand, he happily followed Li Meng to the school field without delay. Zhao Neng, Wang Tao, Wang Hai, Tang Er and others also followed, and in the inner hall, the ladies of each family were busy talking there, and they didn't have to care. It's better to come out and make up for the fun of being handsome.

Li Meng was also holding a thin bamboo pole in his hand. The entire bamboo pole is wrapped with cotton cloth, and the head of the bamboo pole is wrapped like a hammer. It's also for fear of hurting people.

Li Hong over there first put on a posture and put the bamboo pole across his chest as if he were in shape. There is still a certain angle adjustment of his feet, although the child's expression is serious, but with his tiger-headed and chubby appearance, it is really cute, and the generals on the side are laughing.

Li Meng smiled and stretched the bamboo pole in his hand to Li Hong's chest, and said:

"The father hit you, you lost!"

The surrounding generals and soldiers didn't expect Li Meng to have such an interesting side, a little bit, they all laughed, Li Hong blinked his big eyes for a long time before he reacted, he couldn't help but blush his little face, and complained with a flat mouth:

"My father is cheating, my side has not yet been set up, and my father will attack first!!" Li Meng shook his head with a smile and said:

"If it's on the battlefield, who will pose with you, okay, let's fight again!"

In the end, it is father and son, this time Li Meng first posed, but Li Hong did not pose, and directly stabbed the bamboo pole in his hand towards Li Meng's shoulder, but this is an obvious feint, the purpose of the bamboo pole is still Li Mengdi's chest and abdomen, but this feint is already delaying time, and the child's action can get there quickly.

The bamboo pole in Li Meng's hand was flattened, and he stabbed Li Hong in the chest again, Li Hong was stabbed like this, knowing that he had lost the second game, but the more he felt interesting, he desperately pestered Li Meng to compete in the third game.

This is not an order of magnitude battle at all, Li Meng is nothing more than a few casual moves, and Li Hong is already playing happily.

After tossing like this for more than half an hour, Li Hong was sweating profusely, and Li Meng was also worried that he would catch a cold, so he hurriedly shouted to the maid to take Li Hong to find Yan Ruoran to clean up.

"You've been bored watching for a long time, so come down and practice!!"

Li Meng smiled and greeted the generals and soldiers on both sides, at this time it was already dusk, and the sun could no longer be seen standing in the courtyard, only the afterglow of the setting sun obscured half of the sky.

Of course, the battle with these subordinates is much more intense than Fang Cai, but Li Meng's hard work for so many years, coupled with his understanding and experience back then, made the generals and soldiers below not his opponents even if they fought seriously, Zhao Neng, Wang Hai, Wang Tao, Tang Er and others were all knocked to the ground by him with wooden poles.

After a while, Li Mengge blocked the thorns on the opposite side, his arms were strong, and the wooden pole poked the opponent's chest, this time the competition was a victory again, and he was the opponent's personal soldier just about to compliment a few words, but Li Mengge felt something, turned to the direction of the north blankly, and looked at it a few times, except for the dusk sky is the city wall and the courtyard wall.

Looking at Li Meng is wrong. Everyone in the courtyard stopped their movements and shifted their attention, Li Meng shook his head and didn't know why he had this idea in his heart, he turned around and said with a smile:

"I don't know why, Ben Shuai suddenly felt a little lighter in his heart!"

Li Meng threw aside the wooden pole in his hand, took the handkerchief handed by the soldiers, wiped the sweat on his face, and walked towards the inner hall. Several people behind him hurriedly followed. Walking into the corridor, Li Meng turned to Wang Hai beside him and said:

"My son should learn the fighting skills on the battlefield, learn what to do with those fancy tricks, Wang Hai, you choose a trustworthy pro-soldier in the pro-military camp, and I will send someone to send Hong'er over every day....... huh...... Our Jiaozhou battalion is full of civil and military affairs, the sum of thousands is more than that, and the head of Tuntian Zhuangtou is above. Whoever is willing to learn the children will also be sent, don't learn those useless showmanship. ”

Wang Hai nodded and agreed, although Wang Hai has already married a family, but there are no descendants, hearing Li Meng's arrangement, he was thinking in his heart, whether to hurry up and give birth to one, the handsome little son is learning martial arts outside. And it is to let the children of the powerful people from all over Shandong come to accompany the study, which is obviously to cultivate friendly relations with the next generation of the powerful people of their son Jiaozhou Camp, which is a great thing, and it will be attached to the Li family in the future. The benefits are endless!

In the middle of the New Year. Li Mengdi's mood is indeed much lighter, except for accompanying his family. There are also some other pleasures, such as after doing official business in the study every day. The bulletins that Sun Chuanting brought him were all arranged step by step, and in the court of Beijing, how the emperor and his ministers reacted in a hurry, and that kind of clumsy and embarrassed appearance was indeed hilarious.

Sun Chuanting's grievances accumulated in the Ming Dynasty have gradually dissipated in this continuous public opinion offensive, which is also the reason why Li Meng let him go, if the number one think tank in the Jiaozhou battalion becomes biased in judging and handling various political affairs because of grievances, there will be a lot of hidden dangers, and it is also a good thing to vent it, and now Sun Chuanting can judge and deal with it with a fairly healthy and neutral mentality.

"Marshal, if this matter is delayed, the court will lose a point, and the name and righteousness will be less, so that they will not be silent, and the more people in the world will recognize their true faces."

There were only three people in the study: Li Meng, Sun Chuanting and Liu Fulai, Sun Chuanting spoke with a tone of schadenfreude, but there was no hatred in it.

Since the levels placed outside the city gate, as well as the so-called "Fei General Fu" came out, Jingshi has never questioned the remarks of Shandong's great victory, and the rest are all surprised by this great victory and martial arts, as well as disdain and hatred for the emperor and the court.

The later the imperial court reacted, the more unfavorable public opinion was to them, but the victory ceremony of the day, the emperor returned to the palace with illness, and the soldiers outside the city could only turn back to Shandong under the "helplessness".

The longer the matter dragged on, Sun Chuanting released the news one by one through the intelligence system, for example, since the formation of the Shandong soldiers and horses, except for the soldiers and horses of the general soldier Qiu Lei and the general soldier Liu Zeqing, who had never won a battle, Li Meng's soldiers and horses who had really won a battle had never received a military salary.

In the previous battles with the Chuang army and the Tartars, they were all alone, and the friendly troops of the same Ming army either broke and fled or pulled their hind legs, and even some were enemies, and even Chen Xinjia, the secretary of the military department who was beheaded in prison, was taken out for analysis of various means to deal with Shandong.

The people may not be able to see these things clearly, or even understand them, but they can't stand the analysis that "clear-eyed people" understand, and the more it drags on, the more the merits of the Jiaozhou battalion are found out one by one and publicized to the public, and the people of Beijing and even some officials are surprised.

It turned out that Chongzhen's thirteenth year of victory against the Tartars was actually the merit of Shandong soldiers and horses, several times in Kaifeng City by the Yellow River against the camp and Cao Cao's army are also the credit of Shandong soldiers and horses, a small group of thieves scurried into Nanzhili, the chaos of the two Huai, the Japanese invaders appeared in Haizhou to make trouble, and the pacification of these are also Shandong soldiers and horses, not to mention the five battalions of the Revolution that are now threatening Nanjing in Nanzhili, who stopped their movements, or Shandong soldiers and horses.

Without exception, the leaders of the Shandong soldiers and horses are all Shandong general Li Meng, or Li Meng's generals. Isn't this self-destructing the Great Wall!?

One by one, the merits of the past were released, and one by one the harsh criticisms of the court were raised, and the higher the public opinion grew, not only the literati, but even some of the ministers in the court also turned.

In fact, after the tenth day of the first lunar month, the trend of public opinion in the government and the opposition in Beijing no longer needs to do anything specific from Shandong, they only need to release real news that is favorable to Shandong and unfavorable to the imperial court. Naturally, there are clear streamers. Ordinary people take this thing to make trouble and make noise.

The civilian scholars of Beizhili and Jingshi are the most afraid of this Tartar army, because it is a threat born around them, once someone defeats a big victory, but the imperial court can't treat it fairly, in case there is a similar situation again, can anyone take the initiative to come forward to meet and defeat?

Even if it's for this worry. Jingshi also wants to give Li Meng a "fair" treatment......

"Mr. Sun's plan is clever, but our family is thinking, in a few days, the court will send someone over, although Chongzhen is stubborn, but there are still many old characters in the inner court and the court, that person may be on the road today."

Liu Fulai said slowly, Sun Chuanting is not wearing an iron mask on this occasion, and he pondered it a little. also nodded and said:

"What Gonggong Liu said is that now the imperial court is on fire, and if you want to step down, you must also send someone to ask what we think about Shandong. lest you not be able to get off the stage again. ”

Li Meng held the wine cup in his hand. But he was not in a hurry to drink, and said in a deep voice:

"North Zhili Hejian, Guangping, Shunde, Daimyo four prefectures and Zhending Prefecture Zaoqiang and Nangong counties. Chuzhou, Xuzhou, and Hezhou in the south of Zhili, and Huai'an, Yangzhou, and Luzhou. It must be guarded by our Shandong soldiers and horses, and the city shipping departments will be set up in Dengzhou and Laizhou, and the ports will be allowed to be opened openly for maritime trade. ”

As he spoke, Li Meng put the wine glass in his hand on the table, slowly slapped the table, and said in a deep voice:

"Kaifeng City should be defended by Shandong soldiers and horses, Henan General Chen Yongfu should be under my control, and Kaifeng and Defu along the Yellow River should also be clearly the defense area of this commander!"

Li Meng's requirements, Sun Chuanting can almost memorize them silently, this is not how good his memory is, but what Li Meng said, has always been the need of the Jiaozhou battalion and is a necessary area, with these places, some of the Jiaozhou battalion's actions can be clarified, in order to truly ensure the safety of the core of Shandong.

When Li Meng finished speaking, Sun Chuanting and Liu Fulai glanced at each other, but they laughed together, when Li Mengzheng was wondering, Sun Chuanting smiled and said: "Dashuai is really not arrogant or impatient, cautious and abnormal, but the dragon soars in the sky, sometimes hidden in the clouds, sometimes it has to show its posture, the thunder Quartet is, Dashuai has such strength at this time, has such a career, don't be so careful." ”

The old eunuch Liu Fulai also said with a smile:

"It is important to mention that the north and south are directly under the government, and the town guards of the three provinces of Henan also have to take care of their own salt taxes and appoint state and county officials on their own."

After saying this, Li Meng was taken aback, thinking that this was a blatant rebellion, although the general trend is favorable now, there is no need to be so hasty, and he couldn't help but say:

"There are still a lot of instability, and this is a bit hasty to do this!"

"Dashuai, even if Shandong doesn't mention anything, the imperial court will also have to deal with us, but they have no way and no ability now, rather than letting them set up all kinds of private means to filthy Shandong in the future, it is better for us to be domineering first, make things clear, and let their eyes be brighter. ===”

Sun Chuanting talked eloquently, his face was full of confidence, and the old eunuch Liu Fulai on the side took a sip of the rice wine in the cup, leisurely.

After the twentieth day of the first lunar month, the officers and servants of the yamen of the Beijing division were all sent out, strictly forbidding the common people to talk about the affairs of Shandong with the scholars in the field, and at the same time mobilizing the officers and soldiers of the Beijing camp to go out outside the south gate to clean up the Tatar-level Jingguan piled up there.

On the twenty-fifth day of the first month, Luo Shilang of the Jingshi Household Department went to Jinan to visit relatives and friends, and after staying in Jinan for the second day, he first asked to see Yan Jizu, the governor of Shandong, and then through Yan Jizu's matchmaking, he expressed his desire to visit General Zhendong and Li Meng, the general soldier of Shandong, and expressed his respect purely privately.

Luo Shilang of the household department is a person from Hejian Mansion, although he is close to Shandong, but his ancestors have nothing to do with this Shandong ground for generations.

Nowadays, Shandong may be a hot place for those unambitious literati, but it is a place that cannot be approached by the bigwigs of the DPRK and China, and the public opinion of the Beijing division every day makes the court ministers and Emperor Chongzhen disgraced, who is willing to come forward to make up, for fear of being implicated.

Although the situation in this world has changed, the adults in Beijing still have to rely on the imperial court for food. The reason why this household Diluo Shilang was arranged was nothing more than the news of this victory was first known by their family, the annihilation battle fought by the Jiaozhou battalion in Hejian Mansion.

Presumably, the relationship between Shandong Soldiers and Horses and Hejian Mansion is good, and Luo Shilang is a person from Hejian Mansion, so he must be able to get involved, so please ask Luo Shilang to go on this trip!

To put it bluntly, it's nothing more than that everyone doesn't want to go, and there happens to be a reason to put the blame on Luo Shilang, everyone is a general word, and Luo Shilang is full of reluctance. can only pinch his nose and admit it.

These are troubled times. However, this Luo Shilang is an official who rose up in the peaceful years, and he has always stayed in the capital peacefully with his wife, anyway, whether it is his own family or his wife's family, they are all official eunuchs for several generations, they are so rich that they don't have to worry about anything, they live a good life, and they don't know what is dangerous. There are many backgrounds and relationships, although Luo Shilang has achieved the location of the household servant, it can be seen that he does not have as much experience as the following counties.

He is the one who believes that the world is peaceful, and the chaos outside is just a small problem, because Jingshi is always stable, there is no chaos, and the same must be true outside.

Therefore, this Luo Shilang has a nickname in the Beijing Division, called "Taiping Gong", which must say that the world is peaceful. But he is still honest and has a deep foundation, so he has done it peacefully.

When he left the city, this Luo Shilang knew that the world had become so difficult, and he came south from Jingshi along the road of Caoyun. There are also more than 200,000 soldiers and horses stationed around the Beijing Division. Luo Shilang's way south happened to pass between these soldiers and horses.

These troops knew about the Tatar soldiers and horses being wiped out by the Jiaozhou battalion a little earlier than the Beijing Division, and knew that they didn't need to be stationed on the side of the Beijing Division. It should be transferred back to the original place, and now it is the year of the Beijing Division. When the supplies are at their most abundant, everyone wants to have more money before leaving.

Many Zhuangzi around the Beijing Division have suffered, not to mention those merchants who thought that the Tartar army had failed and the roads were too peaceful, and the actions of the soldiers and horses of the Northern Zhili stationed around the Beijing Division were inferior to the bandits.

Not to mention those beastly acts that plague the people and make people count, the governor, the governor, the general soldier and other civil and military ministers are all there to enjoy and rest for the New Year, and no one will restrain military discipline and let their subordinates do whatever they want.

If it weren't for the fact that Luo Shilang's team was followed by Jinyi Guards and guarded by soldiers from the Beijing camp, I am afraid that someone would have robbed them on the way, even if there were Jinyi guards and the guards of the Beijing camp, if it weren't for the commander who knew the news, the two sides would have to fight on the official road.

Afterwards, the commander stepped forward to make amends, Luo Shilang was shocked and speechless, but the general manager of Jingying on the side scolded hatefully:

"You are such a mess, I'm afraid only the Tartars can compare with you!"

Who would have thought that the commander of the army would not be stage frightened, and directly opened his mouth to push back, and said with the same hatred:

"Lao Tzu's subordinates have not come down for three months, if you don't rob it, will you starve us to death, you are full of food and drink in the Beijing Division, and you know the hardships of the soldiers and horses outside?"

Fortunately, it was Luo Shilang's housekeeper who took out some scattered silver and handed it to the commander of the army, and this was the end of the matter, and afterwards Luo Shilang asked the general manager of the Jingying Qian, this is what he knew, the soldiers stationed outside in Beizhili were all over the place, and the soldiers below had received a maximum of two months' salaries in the past year, and they had been deducted a lot.

Even on the Jingying side, he only got seven months' military salary, and Luo Shilang was still puzzled, thinking that in the account of the household department, at least the soldiers and horses outside the city should be four months in a year, and the Beijing camp was ten months, how could the gap be so big.

Seeing that the people around him were laughing and silent, Luo Shilang was also ashamed and suddenly realized, and never spoke again, these silver taels that were deducted, according to the usual practice, he could take a lot.

After walking through Tongzhou, the ground of Beizhili has been destroyed by the army of the Tatars very miserably, although it is the New Year, there are few people on the road, although it is a famine, the villages are bleak and withered, but after walking for a day, I did not find a town that can stay overnight, and I didn't even see a person on the road, this is a big problem.

The place where the army of Tartars passed. Except for the abandonment of the attack, the rest of the places were scattered or slaughtered, and the city was completely destroyed, and it became a no-man's land.

After arriving in the Jinghai area, Luo Shilang no longer dared to leave the carriage, nor did he dare to enjoy the scenery on the roadside, so he entered Shandong all the way.

Speaking of this matter, it is also ridiculous, Luo Shilang didn't dare to look at the side of the road, except for eating and convenience, he didn't leave the carriage, and the people below didn't bother to introduce him to the situation in Shandong. This Luo Shilang felt that the ground in Shandong was exactly the same as that of Beizhili. It must also be bleak and abnormal, at most because there is no military disaster, and the population is slightly larger.

Entering Jinan City, Jinan City is actually a semi-military fortress now, the city is deserted, only the troops are patrolling back and forth, and there are not too many civilians moving around, which confirms Luo Shilang's judgment that he is nesting in the car.

But for a minister like him who doesn't know the world. Beizhili is shocking, Shandong is shocking, this has nothing to do with him, and now Luo Shilang is still very sympathetic to Yan Jizu, an acquaintance in Shandong.

I thought that Yan Jizu would either enter the cabinet in the future, or be a scholar in the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of War, but I didn't expect that after being released as the governor of Shandong, his reputation suddenly deteriorated. did not listen to the orders of the imperial court, was willing to be driven by martial arts, swept the floor and other evaluations were either mentioned in the court, or spread to the Beijing division in other places, and the scenery of the year had long since disappeared. Became the Minister of the DPRK and China. The object of the world's contempt, and it is already wishful thinking to want to be promoted or transferred. This is not his own as a tobe squire. It is comfortable to be a noble and famous person in the imperial court.

When Luo Shilang came to see this Yan Jizu, he had pity and condescending mentality in his heart. I thought that this high-spirited colleague must not leave in Shandong, it must be extremely embarrassing, quite pitiful, although I went to ask the other party to contact, but I must not make a domineering posture, which makes people feel uncomfortable.

This Luo Shilang asked his subordinates to take the post to the Shandong Governor's Office to ask for a meeting, and there was a reply after a while, saying that he was in a restaurant in the city at night.

thought that under the coercion of Li Mengwufu, this governor Yan Jizu must be living carefully, Luo Shilang specially instructed his subordinates to be cautious and not to alarm others.

But after the person sent out to accompany the subordinates back, the look was not quite right, the squire thought that something had happened, and under questioning, he knew that the letter was sent quite smoothly, and the steward of the governor's office came out to receive the letter, and after a while, he came out to reply, saying that the governor had a banquet at night.

Hearing this, I thought to myself that this was not very smooth, but this look was not a smooth one, Luo Shilang asked strangely, and the man said in a low voice:

"Master, there is a wooden plaque hanging next to Lord Yan's official office, with the official name written on it......"

Luo Shilang, who was drinking tea there, laughed out loud and teased in a low voice:

"Yan Cheng was enthusiastic about fame when he was in the capital, but he didn't expect to be in such a situation, and he was still so pretentious."

Luo Shilang is from a high-ranking family, and he has never lacked fame and money, so he naturally will not drill the camp with the low-level scholars, of course he has such a calm and unhurried bearing, but after he said it so lightly, his subordinates did not echo it as before.

Finally, this Luo Shilang felt that something was wrong, he was there and there to gobble and spout, there should be something unfinished, this is the opening of the mouth to ask:

"What else is there to say?"

The subordinate hesitated and said:

"There is something I don't know if I should tell the master, look at the wooden sign hanging outside the door of Lord Yan, which says General Dai Zhendong, Shandong General Li Meng, Governor of Shandong, and Nanzhili Place, this name doesn't seem to be in line with the rules!"

Having said that, even if Luo Shilang is naïve, he understands the meaning of this wooden plaque, the original kind of visiting colleagues in distress, the condescending mentality is gone, and he has become quite nervous, and he doesn't know what will happen when he meets at night.

Yan Jizu held a banquet near Luo Shilang's residence, and when he saw Yan Jizu, Luo Shilang was taken aback, and he thought about the other party's downfall before coming.

No one thought that it would be such a hesitant and red-faced appearance, where did he suffer any grievances in Shandong, it was completely proud, completely different from what he thought, Luo Shilang was even more uneasy, originally the court's waiter was two levels higher than the local governor's status, but now Yan Jizu did not have a trace of seeing the official, and Luo Shilang did not dare to take any shelf, and the atmosphere in the banquet was quite delicate.

After a few words of greeting, it directly brought to the point, Yan Jizu deliberately lowered his voice and said:

"Lord Luo, Yan also knows the purpose of your trip, for the sake of colleagues back then, Yan will give you a thorough understanding here, the reward that General Li wants is to imitate the example of the Mu family in Yunnan, Yongzhen Shandong, and also serve as the military affairs ...... of the four provinces of North and South, Henan and Shandong."

Luo Shilang opened his mouth wide, and the wine glass in his hand fell to the ground and shattered. It is the driving force for Lao Bai to move forward, so please subscribe and vote for a monthly ticket, thank you
