Wu Wensong reminded Li Meng to preserve his strength and not to consume his army in such a battle. This is still an outsider who is not close, and Master Ning and Zhou Yang are even more thoughtful.

Among the generals, after Tang Er and Wang Hai received Li Meng's order, they immediately went down to form a team, and started a few days later, and the time was indeed tight. The heavy grain and grass need to be prepared, and the troops distributed between Jiaozhou City and the sea need to be assembled, which takes time, but when the Jiaozhou battalion defeated the soldiers and horses of Dengzhou Qiu Lei, it has maintained a state of imminent battle until now, and it is always faster to move.

"Zhao Neng led 1,000 soldiers to Laiyang Dusi, Ma Gang led 2,000 soldiers to the Yidu garrison, Chen Liu, Ningyang garrison led 500 soldiers to Jinan Mansion, and the general led 6,000 soldiers from the Jiaozhou battalion to Jinan to rendezvous. Master Ning, hurry up and write out the paperwork, after this will be printed here, and send it out today. ”

In the study, Li Meng said one order after another in a flat voice there, the next local town guards of the army's movement were all arranged, and the movement of an army of nearly 10,000 people, heavy grain and grass and auxiliary soldiers naturally had to be arranged, but Li Meng's side was relatively simple.

At present, it can be regarded as fighting on the inner line in Shandong, and the tuntian granges all over the country can actually be mobilized, and as a team for transporting grain, grass and baggage, the personnel are also extremely abundant. This is also the reason why Li Meng only left a small number of soldiers and horses to guard the local area, because there are a large number of semi-armed organizations such as the village guards that can be mobilized.

After Li Meng finished speaking, Master Ning wrote it all down, but after he finished writing, he glanced at Zhou Yang, who was sitting on the side, and did not send it to Li Meng. Let Li Meng sign with a seal.

The literati thought a lot, and did it quite tactfully, the two of them had been exchanging glances, when Li Meng was a little impatient, Zhou Yang coughed and stood up, first quite solemnly, it is said that with the current relationship between the two sides, this Zhou Juren Zhou Tongzhi is completely okay even if he sits there and talks.

But it's done so solemnly. Obviously, it is a more serious suggestion, or it is likely to anger the main family, so I made a gesture in advance.

"General, the thieves from the east are here this time, and it is very likely that they will cause trouble in the western part of Gyeonggi Mountain, as before, and will not involve Shandong. If you don't do the interests of Shandong, if you don't mobilize a few soldiers and horses to deal with it, this is a disaster year. Tuntian Grange is also beginning to improve, this time a move is ninety percent of the soldiers and horses, the consumption of grain and grass is quite dramatic, to think of the future! ”

Zhou Yang's words were secretive, but his words made it clear that there would be a time to use troops on a large scale in the future. Today's matter has nothing to do with the Jiaozhou camp, so why bother to join in this fun.

Master Ning, who was sitting on the side, looked down at the military order. As if looking for the wrong words and sentences, he didn't dare to say anything. Although his status is faintly the same as Zhou Yang's at the moment, and in fact it is higher, his identity is different, before Zhou Yang came to the Jiaozhou camp, he and Li Meng were equals, and he Ning Qiangui was a slave from the beginning. Zhou Yang's words. Think about it, there are so many sensitive points. Ning Qiangui didn't dare to say it, or even think about it.

"Since Governor Yan Jizu has sent an envoy to mobilize the soldiers and horses of the Jiaozhou battalion. It would be inappropriate not to go all out, after all, this transfer of troops was Yan Jizu's first order, and now he can't deal with it. ”

Li Meng's explanation was not too strong, and Zhou Tongzhi continued to argue loudly there:

"Yan Jizu has always been a good person, the adult led the troops to Jinan Mansion, Yan knew that the governor would not transfer the adult soldiers and horses into the Hebei Diqin King, the barbarian nature only knew how to plunder the gold and silver treasures, and did not have too many attempts, and the light cavalry plundered, did not dare to go deeper, it is more likely that the adult led my Jiaozhou soldiers to Jinan, the Dongyu barbarians have already retreated to the outside of the Saiwai, when the time comes, the soldiers will return in vain, in vain to spend grain, grass and silver, the foundation of my Jiaozhou battalion is still shallow, how can it withstand such a cost."

Speaking of this, Master Ning on the side finally found a gap to interject and said:

"There are still a few thousand remnants of Liu Zeqing's troops in Yanzhou Mansion, and they are also under the command of the adults, so why don't you transfer them to this time, so as not to put them in the eyes."

Hearing this, Zhou Juren turned around and smiled, signaling that this was appropriate. Having said that, the rest depends on Li Meng's decision, both of them set their eyes on Li Meng's side, since dealing with Li Meng and doing things for him, these two people feel that Li Meng has the wisdom and strategy of genius, but there are some things that seem to understand nothing.

For example, in this troop transfer, the whole of Shandong knew that the previous few times the army was active in Henan and Beizhili near Shandong, and the military department and the governor of Shandong both transferred Liu Zeqing's troops to quell the thieves, but after Liu Zeqing suffered a loss, he no longer refused to listen to the transfer, and always used the reason of being seriously ill or lacking pay to prevaricate.

Li Meng's power today is far greater than that of Liu Zeqing, who lived in a remote corner that day, if he said that he would not go, Shandong Governor Yan Jizu would also be helpless, but Li Meng actually said that "the first time I transferred troops, I can't deal with it" This is really ridiculous. Zhou Juren and Master Ning talked all the local words, and they still hoped that Li Meng would change his mind.

The room was quiet for a while, Li Meng smiled, and the two people on the other side thought that their persuasion was effective, and when they were just relieved, they heard Li Meng say with a smile:

"If you let me go to King Qin, then I will go, and it doesn't matter."

Originally, Zhou Juren over there picked up a cup of tea and was about to moisten his throat, but he didn't expect Li Meng to answer like this, he immediately choked in his throat, and immediately coughed, and it took a long time to relieve his breath, wiped the water stains on his chest casually, looked up and said with some tears and laughter:

"General, military affairs, it's not child's play!"

Li Meng still looked indifferent, but his eyes became extremely firm, and he said slowly:

"Let's hurry up and prepare!"

In the Jiaozhou camp, Li Meng is absolutely authoritative, others can come to persuade, but in the end it is Li Meng who makes a decision, Zhou Yang heard Li Meng say this, knowing that things are irreversible, he couldn't help but sigh, did not speak, and Master Ning on the side stepped forward with an order, asked Li Meng to check that it was correct, and then went out to copy a few copies and signed with a seal, and then sent his own soldiers out quickly.

Watching Master Ning go out, Zhou Yang sat there and took a few deep breaths to stabilize his mind before he spoke:

"Since the adults have made up their minds, I will send urgent letters to all the granges, asking them to raise food and grass, prepare manpower, and cooperate with the adults to send troops this time."

Li Meng nodded, everyone in the world thought that the Dongyu girl was really suffering from scabies, and it didn't matter, and the other party had called the side of the Jingshi, didn't it matter? To use a common saying, the Ming court and the camp, no matter who is the representative of the landlord, who is the representative of the peasant class, who sits in the world, Li Meng does not think that it will happen, and will accept it calmly. In Li Meng's thoughts, after all, the Han people fight for the world, whether they win the world over there, it is all meat rotten in the pot, and it doesn't matter.

But the Manchu Qing Dynasty is different, they are alien races, they are barbarian savages outside the Saiwai, non-my race must have different hearts, the scholars and doctors of the Ming Dynasty often talk about "Chinese barbarians", thinking that "barbarians" can not be regarded as comparable to the nation, but can only be said to be livestock, livestock and beasts, but in the eyes of the Manchu Jurchens, the Han people are not cattle and sheep.

The attitude towards cattle and sheep is naturally enslavement and slaughter, and there is no need to respect and appease at all, in fact, in the history that Li Meng understands, when the Ming and Qing dynasties were replaced, those bloody tragedies, those inhumane massacres, were indeed inhumane, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty did not treat the Han people as human beings at all.

This kind of thinking and attitude continued until the Opium War, you must know that in the normal history, it was only in the ten years before the Opium War that the Han bureaucrats had real power and real voice in the court and the localities, but that was already the end of the world.

Moreover, the attitude of the Dongyu Jurchen towards the Han people was not only in the later period, but the attitude that existed from the beginning, these are things that Li Meng did not know, in fact, before the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, when it was still competing with Liaozhen for the land in the northeast, it was not only the killing of the military towns of the Ming Dynasty. Moreover, Nurhachi also purged and slaughtered the Han Chinese who joined his camp on several occasions.

Although they were despised by the scholars and doctors, saying that such aliens were beasts and could not be in the company of people, these beasts were tigers and wolves, and they wanted to eat people.

It is true that this time he did not go to Jinan Mansion to participate in the defense, to a certain extent, it can be said to preserve strength, and there is no moral condemnation, the Qing army has been raging in a province several times, and does not dare to go deep into the Central Plains. This time I entered Beizhili, according to the previous actions, it is estimated that I robbed in Beizhili, and then withdrew to Saiwai, and did not go to Jinan Mansion, it was not a big deal.

But Li Meng is unwilling to do this, this is a national war, since Yan Jizu, the governor of Shandong, has given this order, Li Meng will definitely go, even if he does not give this order, Li Meng will go. The world rises and falls. The husband is responsible, Li Meng thinks that he is not a puppet, he is the commander of the army under the Ming Dynasty, so he naturally has this obligation and responsibility.

However, Li Meng also thought of some after-the-fact comments, and it is estimated that the literati in Shandong are either afraid of their own prestige or have gained their own benefits, and they will not say anything bad, I am afraid that people in other places, including these people in Shandong, will talk about it in private.

You can guess what you say, the first is to say that the general Li Menggu is famous and famous, a reckless man who was born in this country is actually brave to take the lead when the country is in danger, not what is the reputation of selling fame, and the second is that the brain is not sober, it is really naïve, there is no strategy for the city government of the general, these years are all self-respecting, spending money, food and salaries for the official affairs of the court, and vain business, isn't this a fool?

But after thinking about it, it seems that I have not done anything wrong......
