Chapter 240: Worried
The small colonel who ordered knelt on the ground, looking at the general Li Meng in front of him, to be honest, he didn't have much hope for this order, when the governor of Shandong sent a message to the chief soldier Liu Zeqing and Qiu Lei to transfer troops, he was stopped outside by the other party, and it was either that he was sick or that the soldiers were not mobilized in a hurry.
But what I did was just to give orders, and there was no need to worry about other things as a small person.
"Bring the paperwork!"
Li Mengzhi on the steps suddenly felt very heavy, and the relaxed mood that Fang Cai and Wu Zhizhou teased disappeared, and he only felt that his mood was quite complicated.
Over the years, I have collected written archives of military cases and talked with those veterans who had war experience in those years, the Qing army entered the customs three times, and the soldiers and military schools who had experienced the war were also invited to Shandong for money. But for Li Meng, the more he learned about the Qing army through these war experiences and written archives, the more uncertain he felt in his heart.
I thought I was a time traveler, hundreds of years ahead of this era, and everything I wanted to do was extremely easy and successful.
I just came over and thought so, but the real situation is far from being as simple as those networks that I see in modern times, starting from maintaining my own food and clothing, all the way to the power under my own hands, where to go in the future, everything has to be done by myself, there are a few stunning women in the family, and there are enough financial resources for their own luxury, but there is still no slightest slack every day, Jiaozhou camp, salt affairs, and Tuntian everything need to be cared about, relax a little, and your own power will not be able to progress.
The people around, whether it was the generals below or Liu Fulai, the eunuch who was guarding Nanjing, had all talked to Li Meng's side. Now that the strength has been achieved, there is no need to work so hard anymore, and it is time for wealth and happiness.
According to the territory of a province, and there are die-hard elite soldiers and strong generals in their hands, the imperial court is already unable to move, and it is impossible to demote, and then rise. That is, the general of the town guard of the chief military officer, and the position of a third-class knight, there is not much room for improvement, or there are not many goals to strive for.
In this case, why do you need to be like this now, why not go to Zheng Zhilong who studied in Anping, Quanzhou Mansion. Build a palatial mansion. Gather the world to treasure and play with beautiful colors. Enjoy it for a few years!
Why Li Meng has no way to answer this, this is also the place where he can't explain the most difficult thing in this era. Li Meng knows that he is the biggest force in Shandong at the moment, but this force is not worth mentioning at all in the great turmoil of the future changes of the Ming, Shun, and Qing dynasties.
The essence of the Ming army's lies in the border towns, Shandong has never been a place to rejuvenate the army, even the chief military officer was established during the Apocalypse, and Li Meng can be called the largest and strongest in Shandong. The soldiers and horses against Qiu Lei and Liu Zeqing also won easily. But this is, after all, a low-level war.
The soldiers and horses in Shandong are much worse than those soldiers and horses in the nine sides, and how much worse than the soldiers and horses that break into the camp. How much worse than the soldiers and horses of the Eastern Jurchen Land? Li Meng has no foundation in his heart.
The battle between the elite soldiers and horses of the Ming Dynasty and the Qing army was almost exactly the same, defeated, defeated, completely defeated, according to the information that Li Meng got from the text and personal experience, the firearms strength of many armies was even stronger than their own, and the army was even more elite in a hundred battles, but the result was the same, defeated.
If the Jiaozhou camp army goes up, what the result will be, Li Meng also doesn't know.
What is the most instinctive thing for a person, is to live, Li Meng came to the era of the end of the Ming Dynasty, and today he is actually less than thirty years old, looking at the health of the body, he can live for a long time, but even if he can't remember the accurate historical chronology, just with the half-baked historical knowledge of primary and junior high school in modern times, Li Meng also knows that it is not a few years away from the moment when this dynasty fell and the world was in chaos.
If you want to live and live with dignity, you must participate in the changes of this great era, and you must not be called a pawn at the mercy of others, but a person who plays chess.
Li Meng has been working hard in every possible way for this goal, as if he is playing a game of farming, constantly strengthening his economic, military, and political strength, and constantly making himself stronger and stronger.
In fact, Li Meng's goal is also constantly changing, just coming to this era, Li Meng, who is sleeping on a broken wooden board, just wants to eat a few bites of white flour and white rice, with more meat and fish, and he is satisfied if he can live more comfortably. But step by step, he has worked hard to get to today's position, he is already a general, tens of thousands of people under his command can fight for him, hundreds of thousands of people work hard for him, and millions of people can live peacefully because of him, the current Li Meng is not a person, he is the leader of his group. Now Li Meng not only has huge power and wealth, but also has huge responsibilities, he is responsible for the life and death of his subordinates, and he is responsible for the glory and wealth of his subordinates.
Li Meng, who was standing on the steps, was browsing the proclamation there, and there was silence in the courtyard, and the messenger colonel who was kneeling on the ground was also a little confused, firstly, that this military general was actually literate, and secondly, it was obviously a very simple command document, why did he read it for so long.
The document of transferring troops to support the defense was written in the name of the governor's yamen, and what was said above was indeed simple, it was nothing more than that the eastern captives were stuffed into the Kou from the border, the province was connected with the northern Zhili, and the troops and horses of various departments were stationed in Jinan and Dongchang in an emergency.
At the moment, the Beijing division is in a panic, although Beizhili and Shandong are very close, but the letters exchanged are not convenient, the fast horse messenger also has to worry about his life, Shandong governor Yan Jizu only knows that the Tartars have entered the customs, but how many people have come, and what kind of movement is not known now.
And the two provinces bordering Beizhili, Dongchang Mansion only has 2,000 soldiers, and Qiu Lei, the general soldier of Shandong in Jinan Prefecture, only has 8,000 soldiers, and he is unable to defend and protect anything.
"Running on the road, you are also hard, go to rest first, and then return to Jinan Mansion tomorrow, please report to the governor, I will send troops in four days, and I hope that the governor will inform the local officials everywhere, please give convenience when the Jiaozhou battalion marches."
There is no change in the personal guards in the courtyard, but Wu Wensong, the governor who was sitting in the house, was dumbfounded, this year, the governor has transferred troops, and the local military leaders are all kinds of prevarication, or they are mentioning a lot of conditions, and only by preserving their personal strength can they have the capital to do power.
This Li Mengfei is a domineering and shrewd character, how can he agree so happily, the little colonel kneeling on the ground reacted like Wu Zhizhou, and he thought a lot when he knelt on the ground, such as what reason the young ginseng standing on the ground would use to push.
According to the companions, when the thieves were wandering in Henan that day, the governor went to Caozhou to transfer troops, and Liu Zeqing, the general soldier of Caozhou, laughed while hugging his concubine, and said that he was seriously ill and could not move.
The four government counselors are very famous in Shandong Province, most of them say that this person is ruthless, has the skill to accumulate money, climbed to such a position in a few years, and has such a great strength in his hands, presumably it is also a selfish and selfish character, regardless of the overall situation, and it is normal to be rejected.
How? actually agreed so easily, could it be a lie, this little school was strange in his heart, and he didn't care about any courtesy, he looked up, and saw that Li Meng's face had not changed much, but it seemed to be a real promise.
I don't know why, this little school only felt moved in his heart, and all the previous acts of crying and begging were all put aside, and he kowtowed solemnly on the ground, and said:
"Thank you, Lord Li, for sending troops."
The little colonel galloped fast, although it was said that there was an element of acting in a tired state, but the spirit was indeed almost consumed, and several Li Meng's personal soldiers stepped forward to help him down.
"Go and call Wang Hai, Tang Er, Ning Qiangui, and Zhou Yang to the inner study, and let all the messengers be on standby in the front yard, go quickly!"
Watching the little colonel who delivered the letter out of the courtyard, Li Mengsu gave an order, and after listening to it, the leaders of the pro-soldiers around him hurriedly ran out, and Wu Wensong, the governor of Jiaozhou, looked at Li Meng's actions and only felt very incomprehensible.
"The military situation is urgent, this official is here to accuse, please go back to Wu Zhizhou first!"
Li Meng said politely here, Wu Zhizhou was naturally interested, saying that there was something at home, and he said goodbye to the donkey down the slope, but when he walked by Li Meng's side, he couldn't help but say:
"Lord Li, you and I are from my own family, there are some words that are presumptuous to speak, the power of the generals is all under the soldiers, the soldiers are in the power, if there are no soldiers, even if you have the loyalty of Yue Wumu, it is useless, this war is a matter of losing soldiers and losing generals, the general thinks twice!"
Except for the few who were guarded personally, the rest of the people were going to pass the news everywhere, Li Meng stood on the steps, and after greeting Wu Zhizhou, he had nothing to say, but he didn't think that the other party would go out and say such a sentence, Li Meng didn't make a sound, his eyes kept looking away, Wu Wensong also regretted a little, thinking that it was no longer his own acquaintance, and the time for the other party to guard it, and now Li Meng's status is said to be the lord of Shandong, and he can barely deserve it, and his words are indeed overstepping.
After a while, Li Mengcai smiled and said slowly:
"This is a national war, and the Han family thinks he deserves it."
Wu Wensong didn't dare to continue to say more, so he hurriedly walked towards the door, and only after a few steps, he heard Li Meng behind him say in a low voice:
"If Yue Wumu is here, what will he do?"
I don't know if it's asking Wu Wensong or asking myself. Oh, an interview with a certain evening newspaper on Sunday night, the Mandarin is really standard, the voice is also clear, envy and envy, the old white accent is too heavy, thank you, ask for a monthly pass
