Geng Zhongming may be telling the truth, maybe he is talking nonsense, or maybe he is testing him!

It doesn't matter!

For Su Baiyi, the most important thing is to pacify Shandong, get the maximum benefits, and then find out those who smashed and cut them with a thousand knives.

Now that Kong Youde has surrendered and Li Jiucheng runs like this, it is only a matter of time before Shandong is pacified.

As for the best interest!

The imperial court does not send a single soldier, there is no need to waste the treasury, and then it is to try to restore peace and production to the common people as soon as possible! That's in his best interest.

As for smashing those out with a thousand cuts!

The time has finally come!

"Gimbal!" Su Baiyi patted Geng Zhongming on the shoulder: "Your Majesty asked me to be the governor of Shandong's army and grant me the power to make decisions on the spot, so you and Ruitu don't have to worry about the matter, this official will write to the court and allow you two officials to be reinstated." ”

"Thank you, sir!" Geng Zhongming is really excited now!

Not to mention the reinstatement of the official, even if he is demoted to a higher level and retained, he is willing, even if he is dismissed on the spot, it is not unacceptable.

Over the years, he Geng Zhongming and Kong Youde have followed the owner of Mao Island to eat empty salaries, and the family's wealth is worth a lot, even if it is less than Mao Chenglu, it is also very considerable.

To be able to stay alive and be a rich man is very lucky for these rebels.

"Don't thank me, thank Your Majesty!" Su Baiyi patted Geng Zhongming's shoulder again: "The official position will not be reduced, but after all, the two of you have a criminal record, and it is definitely not possible to continue to lead the Shandong garrison. ”

"Yes!" Geng Zhongming sighed slightly.

That's all there is to it.

Shandong is peaceful!

It has been more than half a month since Su Baiyi landed in Shandong, and no matter how good the news is, it has come out.

The news of the pacification of Shandong not only surprised the officials of the entire Shandong, but also stunned the courtiers. Surprise is one thing, shame is another.

In the dignified Shandong, there are hundreds of officials big and small, tens of thousands of troops, and they are disturbed by Kong Youde, Li Jiucheng and others, but no one can calm down the overall situation, and the situation in the entire Shandong is becoming more and more erosive.

This can be said to be the incompetence of the officials, but of course, it can also be excused that the rebels are too powerful.

But a white-clothed body with no power to restrain the chicken, in the blink of an eye, he lowered Mao Chenglu, Dingdengzhou, plotted against Kong Youde, and scared Li Jiucheng away, what does this mean?

It shows that the entire Shandong Wenchen military generals are rice buckets!

Although he didn't admit it, Su Baiyi slapped the entire Shandong officialdom in the face after all, and by the way, the court and the cabinet also slapped him hard, and after slapping him, he couldn't resist!

It's cool to think about!

The coolest thing is, of course, Zhu Youzhen!

Not to mention that the old Zhu family's country was saved, Su Baiyi also earned him face. Of course, for an emperor, these are not the most important things, the most important thing is to use the right person!

Didn't you all object to me using Su Baiyi?

Don't they all say I'm frivolous?

Are you thinking in your heart that I am blind in the eyes of a dog?

But the result?

It turns out that I am right, I have a vision!

And you guys!

It's all pigs!

Zhu Youzhen is happy, but Su Baiyi is not happy!

Because his business is not over, the original goal of landing in Shandong has not been achieved.

Then take the opportunity!

The day after Geng Zhongming came back, Dengzhou Mansion received a lot of congratulatory letters!

Shandong Governor Xu Congzhi sent a congratulatory message!

Shandong patrol according to the royal history Wang Daochun sent a congratulatory message!

Congratulatory message from the Cabinet!

The military department sent a congratulatory message!

Su Baiyi didn't bother to look at it, and directly threw all kinds of congratulatory telegrams on the table, and then went out of the city surrounded by Jinyiwei, and officially reviewed and received Kong Youde's 10,000 troops.

5,000 cavalry, 5,000 foot soldiers!

In fact, logically speaking, there are still 2,000 Denglai sailors, and now they are firmly in the hands of Su Baiyi.

"Ritu!" Su Baiyi looked at the man in front of him with a smile.

He is about thirty years old, tall and has a resolute air on his face!

Sure enough, he is a soldier, and at first glance he looks upright, and he doesn't look like a traitor at all.

"The guilty general Kong Youde, the general of the Governor!" Kong Youde knelt on the ground and respectfully kowtowed to Su Baiyi.

Su Baiyi pulled him up and said with a smile: "Ruitu doesn't have to be like this, the official said that all kinds of leave in the past should be mentioned again, be sure to be a new person, and cherish this opportunity!" ”

"Obey the teachings of your lords!"

"That's it!" Su Baiyi waved his hand: "Now that Shandong has not yet been peaceful, this official still wants you to contribute more, so keep the polite words for later." ”

"Yes!" Kong Youde turned around and followed behind Su Baiyi: "Your Excellency the Governor gave an order, Ruitu went to the soup to fight the fire!" ”

"You don't need to go to the soup and fight the fire, I heard that Li Jiucheng escaped, let's chase it!"

"Huh?"

Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming were stunned at the same time!

You didn't chase Li Jiucheng when he just escaped, what are you chasing now?

But just think about it!

You are the Governor-General, although Dengzhou has been recovered, and the remaining dozen or so small cities have also been attached to the imperial court, but in general, there are still 20,000 rebels on the border of Shandong, even if you don't want to fight, you have to make a show!

Geng Zhongming and Kong Youde thought well!

Su Baiyi just wants to make an appearance!

But it's not what they think it is!

Li Jiucheng ran away, and he still took an army of 20,000 with him, and if such an army surrendered to the Manchu Tartars, it would definitely be warmly welcomed, and it was possible for the king to tear the ground.

Su Baiyi was also most afraid that they would run away from the sea, and he also specially informed Huanglong's Dongjiang Naval Division, Denglai Naval Division, and Tianjin Naval Division that they were blockading at sea. But after a few days, he realized that there was no point in doing so.

Li Jiucheng ran away, but not to seek refuge in Huang Taiji.

He's running in a weird direction, too.

Run all the way west from the land of Denglai by the sea!

Su Baiyi was shocked at the time: The target of this goods is Jinan Mansion?

If Jinan Mansion is captured by him in one fell swoop, then the whole Shandong will have fun to watch. But after Su Baiyi carefully studied the map, he knew what Li Jiu had become, running away like this!

He didn't go to attack Jinan.

The geographical location of Jinan, even if it is beaten down, cannot be defended! Because Jinan is Tianjin Wei to the north, Henan to the south, and Denglai to the east, Li Jiucheng will not let himself fall into a situation of being attacked from three sides!

His goal is Shanxi!

In other words, he is going to Shanxi or Shaanxi to get involved with those rebels!

Then since this is the case, Su Baiyi did not hesitate to chase it!

Just kidding, wouldn't it be a fool not to chase now?

No matter what waves Li Jiucheng will make in the future, as long as he is driven out of Shandong, his mission as the governor of Shandong will be completed.

So, Su Baiyi dragged Guo Cheng out of the cell, asked him to follow with his 300 peasant army, and coerced Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming, Mao Chenglu and other generals, led a few of his friends to escort them, raised an army of 5,000 people, and chased Li Jiucheng's army.

……

Jinan Mansion!

Wang Xiangchun's newly purchased house is in the secret room!

It was still the same place as before, it was still the same gloomy, and it was difficult for a dim candle to illuminate the entire chamber.

However, the four people sitting around the Eight Immortals Table changed.

Now there is no food or drink, just four dull people, drinking dull tea.

The four people sitting around the Eight Immortals Table are the master Wang Xiangchun, the inspector Wang Daochun, the inspector Xu Wendong, and the political secretary Yang Yong.

"The erector has a big life!" The chief secretary made Yang Yong put down the water glass and sighed.

"Hmph......" Wang Daochun snorted coldly and looked around: "It's not that he Su Baiyi has a big life, I'll just say that these military attaches are rude and despicable, and they are not reliable at all." ”

After humming, Wang Daochun gritted his teeth a little unwillingly: "How can this guy have this kind of luck, let him level Shandong in a snap of his fingers, I'm afraid it will be difficult to move him in the future!" ”

"Move again?" Xu Wendong turned his head to look at Wang Daochun: "Who still moved him?" ”

"Don't worry!" Wang Daochun coldly put the teacup on the table, and a cold light flashed in his eyes: "What if he calmed Shandong, this time I am afraid it will provoke the anger of the public, there are many people in the court who don't like him, and the dog is nosy with the mouse!" ”

The pacification of the rebellion is a matter for the civil and military officials in Shandong, a matter for the imperial court, and a matter for the Ministry of War, and it has a half-dime relationship with your railway to raise Su Baiyi, but you ran to Shandong and passed by, and by the way, the rebellion was quelled!

Aren't you a dog meddling with a mouse?

"Ladies and gentlemen, don't worry!" Wang Xiangchun patted the table lightly: "I heard from my brother, more than 20 imperial historians of the Metropolitan Procuratorate are ready to jointly accuse Su Baiyi of embezzling official silver, blasphemy, and intercepting 20,000 taels of Mao Chenglu's silver into his pocket!" ”

"Stupid!" Wang Daochun is also an imperial history, but he does not belong to the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Everyone knows that the silver that Su Baiyi got from Mao Chenglu was sent to the sergeant, isn't it self-inflicted guilt in such a hurry to impeach?

"Jingshi is too far away, let's talk about our current affairs!" Xu Wendong waved his hand to ask the two of them not to talk about irrelevant matters anymore, and said with some worry: "Since Su Baiyi is alive, and he has decided the Denglai Rebellion, and he has also recruited Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming, and Mao Chenglu, then the matter of the Denglai Sailor will inevitably be leaked, have you ever thought about how to deal with yourself?" ”

From the moment they entered this room, several people said something unrelated and avoided the question!

But it is clear to all that there is no escaping this question!

Because Su Baiyi pacified the Denglai Rebellion, because Su Baiyi pacified Kong Youde, the most important thing is that Kong Youde did not kill the sailors Pi Kuanglong and Zheng Tang after capturing them, and now they are in the hands of Su Baiyi.

As long as Su Baiyi is not a fool, he will inevitably interrogate the two!

Although these two guys are not wretched, under coercion and temptation, no one can guarantee that these two will not confess.

"I wanted to borrow a knife to kill people, but who knew that Kong Youde was so pustuple, hum ......" Wang Daochun's eyes were uncertain: "Since these two people can't be killed, in order to save us, I can only stand against General Shen and General Tao!" ”

Dead friends, immortal poor friends!

Human nature has always been like this!

Wang Daochun believes that no matter how the Denglai sailor confesses, he can only provide Shen Tingyu and Tao Hualong, as long as these two are killed, it will be a hundred.

"But the problem is ......" Wang Xiangchun raised his head: "These two straw bales are missing!" ”
