Chapter 515: The Return Trip to Xuzhou Banquet is in the Qing Chaos

Chapter 515 of Shunming returned to Xuzhou to feast on the chaos of the Qing Dynasty

Say less on chapter pages. Thanks to the HUD (Fox Fairy) for correcting this detail. Indeed, I took it for granted. Thanks again. Thank you also for the support you have given me from the beginning of Shunming to the present. Thank you –

During the war, he was sent an urgent report by the prefect of Dongchang. It doesn't seem to be a big deal on the core department of the Jiaozhou battalion. Li Meng and his entourage sailed to the mountain. When I was about to arrive in Xuzhou. The details of the chaos in Linqing City, Dongchang Mansion, were sent over.

The boat is not slow. However, Meng Da defeated the Shun army. The news that King Chuang led the remnants of 3,000 to flee faster than this ship. Although the fleet was only replenished in a few large towns. Squire officials along the way. They all want to visit the Duke of Qi. Even those who are not good will also be assisted by the labor army.

No matter what happens in the future. The most size of the present north. The situation of Qi Guogong's family dominating has already been formed. And it's the absolute advantage. That's a big deal. The Duke of Qi will be the King of Qi next. Maybe it's going a little further.

In the past, it was not enough to wait and see. Now don't go forward and do anything. That will be a problem in the future. It is said that the tree falls and the tree is scattered. The tree grows up. Countless are vying for the front. But it's also the norm.

Li Meng's team on the river naturally could not chill the hearts of the people in the world. Some people are not qualified to meet Li Meng. However, Li still often waited for a certain number of people. Just look for a piece on the shore. A group meeting. Qi soothes a few. This is already considered considerate for these witnesses.

And those who send things to the labor army. The Jiaozhou battalion did not refuse. It is directly to take it. And record the name of the devotee. And then the promise will definitely be seen by the big handsome.

The flotilla went slowly. Li Menghe was really exhausted. This kind of meeting is completely false and polite, and this road is basically the control area of the Jiaozhou battalion. Cast on the Jiaozhou battalion. Or the one who bets on the side has already made a good choice.

I'm just here now. It's all wait-and-see and two-sided characters. But these people are not a minority. In the current situation. Or to give them peace of mind.

Li Meng, as the Duke of Qi, is not only a pure military commander. He also has other identities such as ceremonial political activities. He must attend without complaint.

It's much more tiring than fighting a war - my face is sore for days. Over the mountain. It is from Xuzhou. In Xuzhou, the journey is relatively easy.

This is a fully state-controlled area. Every person who can come to congratulate is customized. Everyone rejoices and celebrates. And many of the things I have encountered before can be said to be crying and laughing. For example, there are too many boats on the river to deliver labor and military supplies. As a result, the advance of the warships was hindered, and so on.

After entering the territory of Xuzhou. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Deputy General of Xuzhou. The current deputy general of the Central Plains Army, Gao Ke, has rushed to Xuzhou as soon as possible. There, the Xuzhou army was mobilized to garrison Fengyang Mansion and Xuzhou. Prepare to go to Henan to meet Chen Liu.

Ma Gang, the southern general who had always been in Yangzhou Mansion, rushed to Xuzhou. Now he is in charge of the garrison of the south and the north of the river. It's pretty much a province. And it is much richer than rich, and it is also a heavy responsibility, and there are still some things to ask Li Meng.

I don't know what Li Meng thinks. After arriving in Xuzhou, the Qing Army Hall in the original guard office gathered military generals at all levels and literati in the shogunate. Set up a banquet. Then he asked the messenger of the mountain to come out and speak.

Everyone was a little confused. Later, cronies estimated that it might be that the handsome man was too tired along the way. So I want to hear stories for entertainment.

Don't really say it. A dry person, etc. Even the newly descended Hao Shaoqi and Niu were very interested. Shandong's Fang has been in charge of Li Meng since all the six mansions were in charge. I never heard of the mess again. This time, such a thing actually happened in Linqingzhou. Moreover, it is a civil rebellion, not an external force.

Who the hell has such guts? How was this mess pacified? It's really a fascinating story. Everyone is grinding and having fun.

On this day on the twenty-eighth day of October. The Qing army hall was cleared early and martial law was imposed. The Pro-Guard and the garrison of the time did a joint cleanup. And into the arrangement.

Inside the house, a whole set of restaurant teams were transferred from Haizhou to serve. This is the rest time for the Jiaozhou battalion to go out to fight the generals. Wait until the table opens. Li Meng stood up with a glass of wine. Yang Sheng said:

"After this battle. The die is cast. Everyone, follow me to the north and south. Great work. Li Mou respects you with a cup of ......"

If someone else had said this. It would certainly be considered impudent and absurd. Such a big war. The soldiers threw their heads and spilled their blood. But in exchange for such a faint thanks. Isn't it going to chill the mind below? But Li Meng's side is different. The handsome man who rarely remembers will take the initiative to say words of thanks.

Today this is said with indifference. Can be in the Jiaozhou camp for so many years. But it was a rare feeling to see a deep thank you. The generals below were really moved. Stand up in unison. Raise your glass. Congratulations in unison:

"The handsome man is powerful in the world. How dare they take credit. ”

This is also from the bottom of my heart. All of you. Nothing big. It was all with Li Meng who built this body, and everyone just rose in this system. There is no Li Meng. There is no such thing as this, and now it is famous all over the world. The military generals and ministers who are destined to occupy an important position in the world in the future are today.

After Li Meng drank this glass of wine. He said "casual" and sat down. The crowd relaxed. Dashuai's wine is huge. But he didn't want to drink more. Everyone knows about this habit. So no one went over to bother. I also know the character of the handsome. The people below are not restrained either. Since it's here

Above. Then let it go. A moment of work. The atmosphere of the Qing Army Hall is

Li Meng's table. Only Ma Gang Hi-Tech. and Fang Yingren, the second elder of the Fang family, who arrived in the afternoon. The current Yangzhou Mansion is the same. Originally, Kong Sande, the organizer of the Lijin Bureau, also wanted to rush over. However, now Henan needs a lot of money, food and materials. Kong Sande and Hou Shan, the Lingshan Trading Company, were busy all day. It can only be a chance to give up this stammer.

Four people are sitting here. It's really deserted. Follow the rules. Huang Ping, the commander of the pro-army, and Yuan Wenhong, the head of the Jiaozhou battalion, are not qualified to sit here. Li Meng also asked them to sit down. and Guo Liang, the commander of the artillery team, was also called over at other tables.

But this Guo Liang is a heartless character. I was drinking in other positions. The table was deserted, and everyone was very tight. It's just a hippie smile and ran away. Everyone knows his character. It's just a laugh.

Ma Gang is one of the oldest people in the Jiaozhou camp. Sit next to Li Meng. There are more words to be said by others, and what is said is the love of the two. But there is no need to shy away from Fang Yingren of the Fang family.

"Ma Gang Chen Liu, Henan. The matter of Nanzhili. I want you to support it alone. After the New Year, you can start expanding your army. The Northern Army was changed to the Two Huai Army. It can be expanded by 20,000. ”

Listening to Li Mengdan's words. Yuan Wenhong had already figured out a pen and paper record. This is the position of the general. The more soldiers you have, the better. Ma Gang's face was full of joy. I pondered it a little. already has a corresponding plan, and said eloquently:

"Great. The matter of the source of soldiers. The lower officials are ready to draw from the following: . Please also ask the handsome to see if it is suitable or not. The displaced people in Henan have been wandering into Huai. The Tuntian Grange Guardian Team set up for them has been doing it for several years, and they are all good soldiers, and the seedlings can be drawn. In addition, there are many soldiers and horses in the area around the state capital who have fallen from the Fifth Battalion of the Revolution. Even though they are all good citizens now. But he is also a young man who has seen a fight. It can also be used - there are armed salt dings in Huai'an and Yangzhou provinces. Most of them are Ben's young men. is also available. It is not a problem for these people to send 20,000 soldiers. ”

Ma Gang, Zhang Jiang, Zhang Kun and others were all from military families in the Ming Dynasty. I am quite clear about some of the rules of the army. It's a lot of things to sit up and be very organized. This is something that Li Meng appreciates. Of course. Zhao Neng, Liu, Wang Hai and others also have their own advantages.

Li Meng nodded. I applaud Ma Gang's suggestion. It seems that after Chen Liu was transferred to Henan. Ma Gang, the general of Pingnan, himself also considered the problem of garrisoning the next two Huai. Li Meng opened his mouth and said:

"Go back and write it out as soon as possible. Report to the Guogong Mansion. Let the conscription start as soon as possible. ”

The two say here. Fang Yingren on the side is also from a big family. Just smiling and watching the shouting and drinking of the generals and leaders in the field. But listen to Ma Gang's proposal to arm the salt ding. I still couldn't help but twitch the corners of my eyes. However, his kung fu is profound. No one noticed the change in his expression.

The armed salt of Lianghuai is different from the armed salt of Shandong. Most of the armed Yanding in Shandong are the soldiers who retired from the Jiaozhou battalion and the children of the main squires on the side. These people are the armed forces of the local people. The leaders at all levels were veterans of the state battalions. Loyal to Li Meng.

The armed salt of the two Huai is different. The two Huai salt merchants marketed the Huai salt all over the world. When the rich rival the country. For a variety of reasons. All are armed with their own people. Despite the nature of the militia and the village bravery. Available in training and equipment. Even the Ming army that has to pass the time.

This is the salt merchants' own salt cubes. This armed force. After the Jiaozhou battalion entered here. Nature is not allowed to exist. However, the relationship between Jiaozhou Ying and the two Huai salt merchants is that of a collaborator. There are many things that cannot be done too absolutely. Therefore, the private armies of the various salt merchants were not allowed to exist. But there is no ban. It's about taking the approach of change. Let them be armed with salt for the two Huai. Although it was changed from the private armed forces of the salt merchants to the armed forces nominally belonging to the Jiaozhou battalion.

But the funds and composition of this armed force. They are all inextricably linked to the salt merchants. The salt merchants were able to maintain their influence among the armed salt dads of the two Huai.

So in some subtle things. Shandong's officials stationed in Yangzhou and Huai'an are still a little unmoved. Its large strands of armed salt. Naturally, it belongs to the Fang family.

Although the Fang family was loyal to the Jiaozhou battalion. But it is inevitable that I don't use these powers as self-protection tools at critical times. But Ma Gang's proposal completely shattered the Fang family's idea. The Jiaozhou battalion was supplemented by manpower from the village guards and armed salt ding. This is originally the rule of Shandong. Pingnan General Ma Gang took it out so dignifiedly. No one else can find fault with it.

Fang Yingren's mood turned quickly. In the past, the investment in Li Meng was still a gamble. Now it's the right bet. The Fang family's future glory and wealth don't have to worry about. There is no need to raise any private soldiers to protect themselves. In front of Li Meng and others, it is better to play less such tricks. Otherwise, it would really be crushed.

Figure this out. Fang Yingren also relaxed. Next up is the taking. Should the family take the initiative to take out the pen and silver to labor the army, if they wait for the other party to open their mouths. But it's not beautiful. He also had an idea. It was Ma Gang and Li Meng who said this in front of him on purpose. But these thoughts were quickly left behind.

See your own suggestions. The handsome is an appreciative attitude. Ma Gang was also relieved. Another small talk. And he stopped talking.

It was supposed to be a relaxation party for the selflessness of the superiors. Li Meng was idle, and Ma Gang finished speaking. Gao Ke on the side leaned over.

"Great. It is time for the lowly to give the order of transfer. Cao stationed in Fengyang

Ma Shiying dismissed more than 5,000 soldiers, and he now has a total of seven soldiers and horses. And to the lowly side. It is said that the strength is insufficient. Ask the lowly side to send troops and horses to assist in the defense. ”

Hear this. Li Meng was stunned. Then I thought of Ma Shiying's everything. couldn't help but smile and said:

"Among the officials of this Ming Dynasty. That is, this Ma Shiying is a awake person. He had already decided that he should stand over there, not because his position was too high. It's hard to understand how to speak. Fengyang's side. Except that it is where the imperial tomb of the Ming Dynasty is located. It's not worth mentioning. Gao Ke, since you went to Henan, then the things here will be done by Ma Gang. ”

Gao Ke hurriedly stood up and took the order, Li Meng and Huang Ping said randomly:

"Find someone to write a letter. Tell Nama Shiying what he thinks, I said. Let him not be in a hurry. But. Ben Gong thought he was such a talent. But Fengyang can only be stationed. Nanjing is even more important. ”

The meaning of Li Meng's words. Everybody understands. Presumably, Nama Shiying is even more numerous. Over there, Yuan Wenhong still hasn't eaten or drunk. The pen is always non-stop. I already wrote a copy and handed it to Huang Ping. Huang Ye, the commander of the pro-army, also confessed and turned down.

In addition to this one talking about important things. The rest of the tables were already in a lot of trouble. A group of people yelled at each other. Persuade each other to toast. Exceptional joy.

Looking around, Hao Shaoqi, who was sitting in the corner, was a little out of place with the cow. Their mentality is also understandable. Li Meng turned around and called a personal soldier. A few words of command in a low voice.

Not much. The soldier led a man disguised as a salter over. Li Meng nodded. Get up from your seat. He lifted his arm and pressed it down.

Although it was still very lively. But after Meng's action. Soon it was quiet. Li Meng raised his voice and said:

"You don't know. The army of Henan is fighting. There was a little mess in Linzhou, Dongchang Prefecture. There is a cult in Linqingzhou. It was pacified before the day passed. Everyone was in high spirits today. I specially invited someone to come and talk to my family. Let's listen to it as a story. Joy, joy. ”

Li Meng said Jane here. But there was a commotion below. Except for a very few. No one heard the news at all. Many of the officers were stunned. After listening to the phrase "it will be pacified before the day has passed". That's what settling down is. It was easy to hear what the big marshal said. It's as if he was asking someone to listen to the commentary. The people's interest was high again. But the room was quiet.

The salt man had been sent to tell the commander what had happened. The choice is a tongue to give. I didn't expect to come here. But I have to talk to so many generals. I was a little nervous for a while. But talking about it. That is, it is gradually letting go. It's really like a story.

Linqingzhou did not rise in Jiaozhou when the battalion. It is one of the richest in Shandong. The population inside and outside the city is hundreds of thousands, and it is also a large state county.

Jining's checkpoint hub in recent years. Jiaozhou's salt and foreign trade have been spreading. Linqingzhou is not so conspicuous, but the heritage is still there. He was originally the second hub of Caoyun in =. It is regarded as a connecting node between Shandong and Beizhili.

The bustling city of North Zhili. A variety of goods that need to be purchased. From everyday items to groceries. to extremely profitable southern and western goods. All of them are transit through Cheongju.

Lingshan Commercial Bank was set up in Shandong Branch. There are a couple of special points. It is Jining Prefecture, Jinan, Jiaozhou, and Linqing. These four Fang Jinan is the general number. Can only be _, in the scheduling. To say that it is a cargo reserve. Cash flow is also important in Shandong's business system. The total number will not be ranked. Linqingzhou is in second place. The Liu family in Jinju opened a large trading house in Linqing early. Lingshan Commercial Bank, this kind of head snake. Needless to say, there is no need to say that the Big Mac of the Ba Min Commercial Bank. After Chen Yongfu, the chief soldier of Datong, washed Pingyao in blood. To show an attitude. Shanxi's wealthy businessmen have also come here to open a branch.

These Jin merchants meant to show their submission to Li Meng. If the Jiaozhou battalion needs these semicolons again, it can set aside a large number of silver taels to supply the army at any time. Who thought to come to Cheongju. It's actually a lot of money. That's what makes me die.

Linqingzhou is such a rich party, and it is not in the hands of Li Meng that he became rich. The inhabitants of the city were loyal and respectful to Li Dashuai. There are many other parties.

When the Manchu Tatars entered for the fourth time. The army passed under the city of Linqing. Straight to Jinan. This is the most dangerous thing that the residents of Linqing City have encountered. But there are also thrills and dangers to pass safely. The residents in the city also couldn't feel how the Jiaoying had protected Fang Ping'an.

On the contrary, many of the lords of the country were deprived of their land and went into the city to live. There were quite complaints about the Tuntian Grange policy of the Jiaozhou camp. This also directly affected the perception of the residents of Linqingzhou on the Jiaozhou camp.

In the absence of Li Meng's history. Linqing Prefecture was breached after the Manchu Qing Pass, and the city was full of civilians and slaughtered. It is recorded in the history books. Killed millions. It's a great tragedy. can be on this plane. This thing is not alive at all. Residents don't have much gratitude.

The messenger told in the Qing Army Hall is very emotional. Let's not talk about what happened. Rather, it is about the attitude of Linqingzhou towards the Jiaozhou battalion.

The generals below were already angry before eating. The brain is not very bright. Someone had already cursed in a low voice. The Messenger was pleased with the effect. That's to get to the point.

There are large families with the surname Jing in Linqing Prefecture. The three generations of the family have passed down this 1 Zijing, the eldest young master, who is really worshiped as a treasure. Pampered nature does not need to be said to be 100 obedient and deserved.

This young master is down from ordinary people. Others like wine. He likes to cultivate immortals. I don't know how much money the family has defrauded. I don't take care of my family's business. Nor do they go to the next generation. By the time he was sixteen. his parents alive.

There is no parental control. This young master is even more lawless. Partial life is lucky. A few housekeepers in the family are honest and sincere. The family was not defeated. On the contrary, it has become a lot bigger. This one goes back and forth. I don't know who said it to the big and the young. said that the uncle was so lucky. It was the reincarnation of the Buddha. Divine protection. That's all going well. Safe and sound.

The Buddha was born. This is not something that a serious temple says. Say this. That is, Luojiao. The world is commonly known as the White Lotus Sect. This branch of Shandong is called Maitreya. These sects are all demagogic village women who deplete their family property. Either it is a cult that starts trouble and thinks about the world.

All over Shandong. There is a team of village guards. In the middle of the pool is armed salt. No matter how bad it is, there are still garrisons. In the darkness there are agents of the Investigation Division. Layers. There is simply no room for a cult to survive. That is, there is still a possibility of existence in Dongchang and Yanzhou.

Young Master Jing is a rich and religious person. Nature is the best target. By the time of the twelfth year of Chongzhen. Young Master Jing is the deputy head of the Maitreya Sect. Maitreya's Sect Leader and Holy Maiden. I thought I was a big donor. You can put this young master Jing ** in the palm of your hand.

Who would have thought that this uncle also has means. I don't know if I'm confused by reading books. It's still smart. Pay attention to the unfathomable of the individual. Pay attention to what to kill the decision. One night. Invite the leaders of the Maitreya religion to eat and drink. Bury some copycat strongmen who have been contacted for a long time. When I drink too much. They all went in and cut them all down. Hit in a bag and bury it in your back garden as a material.

After this time. Uncle Jing became the upright Maitreya leader. Everyone respectfully called Sect Master Jing. Because of this feast. It is also known as the ability to achieve great things. There is the air of a king. Inscrutable. It is not really the life of the Buddha and so on

Occasionally, there are some ruthless tactics. It doesn't mean what kind of talent this person is. However, Sect Master Jing frightened all the people around him this time. Maitreya can't teach some gods who pretend to be gods and ghosts and want to ask for money. I originally wanted to control this Jing Sect Master's eating and drinking. Who would have thought that the means of others would be missing.

This young master Jing sat on such a thing. I went to the sect leader again. My heart was already swollen. His family was wealthy. There is also a network of Maitreya. For a time, he was actually in the lower world of Linqing Prefecture and even Dongchang Mansion. This makes many strongmen who can't get mixed up. The tattered brocade guard. The salt lords who were suppressed by Li Meng and fled took the initiative to come and defect. For a while, the power was also snowballing

The reincarnation of the Buddha. That's to be the emperor. Luo worships the lifeless old mother. But it is often used to fool people with the birth of the Buddha. The Jing Sect Master has seen too much of the upside-down Maitreya teachings. My own brain is confused. I feel that I can be the emperor. And this Shandong has a good foundation. It's just that Li Meng's governance is angry and resentful. If you start something on your own. Presumably it is the scenery of all the people. took the inheritance. Come and become the emperor of the world.

It's really a foolish brain. The people around him are all frustrated people who hate Li Meng and Shandong's policies. There are also some of the original Shandong Jinyiwei broken settlements. These are all people who don't share the sky with Li Meng. Naturally, he wouldn't say anything good about Li Meng in front of him. Every day, Li Meng was cramped and pulled out of his bones.

Sect Master Jing began to ponder, turning the sky of Shandong upside down. Do it yourself. He raised the banner. More thieves, gentry, officials, and outlaws came to defect.

I don't know if it's his luck or Shandong Yan's incompetence. Those disciples of Maitreya who were born in brocade clothes. There is a systematic set of how to clean up the salt gang and the investigation of the government. Plus the experience of secret missionary work in the lower sect. In this way, he avoided the surveillance of the official and the inventory department.

However, there is still some scale in Dongchangyi. Each time to the other party. It will always be uprooted. If it weren't for the ruthlessness of the Jing sect master. Abandoned some pawns in time. I'm afraid it has already been revealed.

This time, Li Meng led a large army out of Shandong. Go to a decisive battle with the king of Henan. The message is well hidden. But it is difficult to conceal the hundred of the army movement. The news was known by this Maitreya Sect. They will also calculate. Tens of thousands of soldiers in Shandong. Hundreds of thousands of thieves. Even if it is Shandong's strong soldiers. It's going to take a few months. Hold each other for a long time. Shandong's defense is empty. Isn't it a good time to start an incident? It's also reasonable.

Everything is ready to go. On the day when the Jiaozhou battalion besieged He Jin in Sichuan. At the third watch in the evening. Followers of the Maitreya sect set fire to a house of the Jing family in the city.

The courtyard was full of dry firewood and grass. And he poured fire oil on the house. After lighting the fire. The flames rose into the sky. Immediately it was alarming everywhere. , on fire. Not easy to spread. This side is on fire. Residents everywhere are coming to the rescue. All at once it was a mess.

Take advantage of this chaotic moment. In all parts of the city the disciples of the Maitreya were ready to move. Hold your weapons and cause even more chaos. On the one hand, he went to the arsenal of Yanding in the city and the Zhizhou Yamen. The rich and prosperous Linqing Prefecture was suddenly in chaos.

And at this time. The high military attache in the city was only a garrison. This person is an acquaintance of Li Meng. Calling himself Mr. Nanshan. Most of them call him Zhang Chengye, the thief of the Southern Mountain.

When the chaos arises. The incense of sleeping in the green building.
