"Thank you Taishan Mother, I didn't ask in vain at that time, I was really a kid, and I had to pay back my wish after two years." Liu Minyou was holding a baby wrapped like a dumpling, shaking softly.

A little face turned in the swaddling clothes, and his eyes looked fixedly at the entrance in front of him, with a little confusion in his simple eyes, and he screamed twice.

Li Ranzhu, who was sleeping on the bed, said with a smile: "Okay, put it on the bed, you won't hug it, don't twist his head." ”

"Good son, go to bed quickly, Dad is going to a meeting."

Liu Minyou gently put the swaddling clothes next to Li Ranzhu, and then lay on the side of the bed, staring at this little baby lovingly, Li Ranzhu smiled: "I haven't seen enough, let's go, the army over there is waiting, don't delay the big thing, in case Li Jiucheng calls, we have nowhere to run." ”

Liu Minyou reluctantly leaned up and kissed the baby's face, and comforted: "Kong Youde's entry into Dengzhou, the army has already been mobilized, and the army has nearly 5,000 troops, all of which are on guard near Ninghai Prefecture and Wendeng County, and there are still some self-defense forces in Tunbao, Kong Youde can't beat it." ”

Li Ranzhu was still a little worried: "You said that the rebels entered nearly 10,000, and Chen Dajin only brought 2,000 in, if Kong Youde and Li Jiucheng worked hard, would it hurt Chen Dajin?" ”

"No, the silver he spent two thousand a year is several times that of Kong Youde's soldiers, it would be strange if he couldn't win."

Li Ranzhu glanced at him and said: "If you count the silver to see who is powerful, it should be the first in Guan Ningjun, and those Jiannu will not die sooner." ”

Liu Minyou smiled, "It's useless for me to go, I don't understand what they said, when the meeting was held yesterday, Liu Pojun took two or three plans, they were prepared, they didn't panic at all, the army sentry horse has arrived at the border between Ninghai Prefecture and Dengzhou, and it will be fine." ”

At this time, the maid shouted outside the door: "Da Jin, the military order department will come in and say that there is still a quarter of an hour to have a meeting, see when Da Jin will go." ”

Liu Minyou promised: "I know, I'll go right away." After speaking, he smiled at Li Ranzhu, leaned over and wanted to kiss one, Li Ranzhu hurriedly pushed it away and said: "Why do you always like this, the maid doesn't laugh to death when she sees it." ”

Li Ranzhu has never been accustomed to this kind of modern etiquette, Liu Minyou had to take his clothes and go out, and when he got to the door, he shivered outside the door, quickly put on his coat, went outside and called the stupid monk, and led the horse out by himself.

His current residence is in the old camp of Wendeng, next to the old garrison mansion, and he is still a neighbor of Chen Xin, but now Chen Xin's house is much larger than him, which is all thanks to Chen Xin's concubine Juxiang, she thinks that the house must be big to be worthy of the status of his master, so she built a mansion with east and west gardens.

Liu Minyou's gatehouse is still the same as before, only two old military households are guarding the door, and Liu Minyou happened to see Wang Erya and Xiao Jiahua at the gate.

When Xiao Jiahua saw that it was Liu Minyou, she hurriedly said: "Liu Dajin is good, the little girl is on vacation today, come and see Sister Li and the eldest son, and come to help by the way." ”

Liu Minyou smiled and nodded, this Xiao Jiahua didn't know how to turn xìng, since she came out to work, Li Ranzhu has returned to Wendeng since she was pregnant, and is responsible for the comprehensive store work of the full-text boarding system, and the production and sales of tobacco are attributed to Wang Erya.

This Xiao Jiahua waits at the door every morning, going to work with Li Ranzhu, and has long been commensurate with Li Ranzhu's sisters, Li Ranzhu often praises this subordinate in front of Liu Minyou, and now Xiao Jiahua is already the director of the stores in charge of the five surrounding tunpu.

"Then it's troublesome Miss Xiao." Liu Minyou said to Wang Erya again: "It's also troublesome Miss Wang." ”

Wang Erya waved his hand and said, "I'm not here to see your son-in-law, it's still some official business, and I have to go back to Jinghai Tobacco Factory after reading it." ”

Liu Minyou knew Wang Erya's temper, and he was not angry, but just persuaded: "This big winter, if you come, you will stay for two children, and you will also talk to your sister Li, why is it so urgent." ”

"Liu Dajin, the settlement of the cigarette factory and the comprehensive store has to be changed, the original store to buy cigarettes is a lot cheaper, the settlement time is long, far less fast than the cash transaction of foreign merchants, and ......" she paused, "The store has its own reselling business, reselling to foreign merchants to earn the difference, I will come to ask Li Ranzhu how to manage." ”

Liu Minyou coughed, looking at Wang Erya's lawsuit-like face, knowing that she had a hot temper, for fear that this businesswoman would disturb Li Ranzhu, so he hurriedly persuaded: "Miss Wang, don't be so excited, leave this matter to me Okay, Minyou saw Xiao Jiahua beside him, so he said to Xiao Jiahua: "Miss Xiao, you happen to be here, your sister Li is going to be confined recently, you are now in charge of the comprehensive stores, I will issue an appointment today, you will be the deputy director of the internal commerce department, and you will deal with the settlement and reselling with Miss Wang first." ”

Xiao Jiahua agreed quite obediently, and if she didn't know, she couldn't see her original appearance of two hundred and five at all.

Wang Erya glanced at Xiao Jiahua, "Xiao Jiahua, you have been promoted, you have to take care of things when you are promoted, don't squat in the pit and don't, then what do you say, when will the payment be given." ”

Liu Minyou didn't want to be delayed by the two of her, so he said to the porter: "Lao Fan, take the two of them to the second hall and prepare the brazier and tea and snacks." The two of you discussed first, I have a meeting, let's miss it first. ”

After saying that, he hurriedly went out, and rode to the barracks with the stupid monk, and the stupid monk muttered behind him: "What kind of women are they entering." ”

Liu Min deeply sympathizes, the unique structure of the Wendeng system gives women the opportunity to give full play to their talents, Wang Erya stands out, and some other ordinary women can also work to make money, it seems that women's rights have risen.

He shook his head and drove his horse in a hurry, and when he arrived at the combat conference room, it was already full of red military uniforms, and his deputy Mo Huaiwen was waiting at the door, according to the requirements, he couldn't go in, only Liu Minyou, who was entrusted by Chen Xin, couldn, and Liu Minyou had to leave him in the attendant room next door to wait.

Liu Pojun, who presided over the meeting, waited for Liu Minyou to sit down and shouted: "Everyone stand up and salute!" ”

The officers in the room stood up and saluted Liu Minyou, Liu Minyou got up a little uncomfortably, he didn't know what to salute back, and hesitated for a moment to return a non-standard military salute.

After the officers sat down, Liu Minyou signaled Liu Pojun to start, Liu Pojun stood up and walked to the map and began to explain, "Today, Chen Dajin sent Tang Ma from Laiyang to inform that Chen Dajin was stationed in Laizhou with Yu Dacheng, the governor of Shandong, and Yu Dacheng had the standard battalion, Wude, Jimo battalion and some guards under the jurisdiction of the governor of Shandong. ”

He pointed to the location of Dengzhou, "Li Jiucheng and Kong Youde's main force is stationed in Mishen Mountain in the south of Dengzhou City, one battalion is stationed in the southwest Shimen Mountain, and the other battalion is stationed in Wollongong, southeast of the city, and in the third rì on arrival, they tried to attack Dengzhou, but were repelled by the southern soldiers led by Zhang Keda, but the two sides only tested the quality, and no big war broke out. The first battalion of Shimen Mountain is to guard against Yu Dacheng in the direction of Laizhou, the large battalion in the direction of Wollongong to guard against Ninghai Prefecture, and the Mishen Mountain to guard against Qixia, and the three battalions are all controlling and curbing the main roads, especially in the direction of Ninghai Prefecture, the Kongbu sentry horse even went to the state city and confronted our battalion sentry horse many times, obviously with the intention of targeting our Wendeng camp. ”

"General Chen Dajin ordered that when the expeditionary battle group arrives in Laiyang or Qixia, all Wendeng mobilizes forces to assemble in the direction of Ninghaizhou, but not near Ninghaizhou City, to prevent being detected by the rebels, and all departments immediately prohibit soldiers from leaving the camp, check the required materials and equipment again, and must be dispatched immediately when Chen Dajin's order arrives......"

Liu Minyou listened while looking at the map, he thought that Chen Xin's intention was to use Wendeng's troops to block the south and east to ensure the safety of Wendeng's locality, Kong Youde and Li Jiucheng actually dared to directly fight against Zhang Keda, it was not a soothing attitude at all, and he began to feel a little nervous in his heart......

In the Wendeng camp outside Laizhou, a large number of refugees have turned to Laiyang, where there are people sent by the civil affairs department to receive them, and now all the rest are soldiers.

The atmosphere was suddenly more tense than some time ago, and the Chinese army issued a vigilant order, each division must maintain a state of armor and ammunition at any time, and all the light cavalry reconnaissance teams of the Chinese army were dispatched to the direction of Huangxian to investigate and investigate.

Chen Xin paced slowly in the tent of the Chinese army, and in front of him stood Wu Jianzhong from the Laizhou Intelligence Station.

"Da Jin, Li Jiucheng and others entered the crossing, and his subordinates arranged dozens of entries in Pingdu Prefecture City, preparing to create chaos when they attacked the city, who knew that the rebels had no intention of attacking the city at all, and their subordinates had to let the Tiger attack a few big manors that had been seen in the original, but Bi Jing was less, and the really big ones were hiding in the state city, and the subordinates were not doing well, please punish Da Jin."

Wu Jianzhong knelt down as he spoke, and Chen Xin hurriedly helped him up and said: "The battlefield is changing rapidly, how can everything be done, Kong Youde and their lone army must be busy returning to Dengzhou, and it is reasonable not to fight peacefully, let's find a way in the future." ”

Wu Jianzhong did not have any moral obstacles at all, he believed that as long as he could grab enough land for the Wendeng camp, it was more important than anything else, so that Chen Dajin could raise enough soldiers to fight back to Liaodong.

He thought for a while and added: "Dajin, if you want to say big households, Laizhou has the most in the city, but Laizhou Zhizhou is quite capable, according to the household to draw Ding, each Ding is set to a certain city plate, the city is strictly investigated, and the gentry in the city are found to pay for food, at present, it seems that the city defense is very stable, even if it is a rì queen...... It's not easy either. ”

Chen Xin nodded slightly, his original plan was to let Wu Jianzhong respond internally and help the rebels to lay down Pingdu and Laizhou, but who knew that Li Jiucheng could not enter the door and bypassed from outside the city, so that his plan fell through and had to reformulate the plan.

Now the focus is Dengzhou, Chen Xin according to the situation of the Confucius Department, should be most afraid of the Wendeng camp, if they get too close, they may immediately touch, they are a bamboo basket to draw water, but too far away will not be, so that once they break through Dengzhou, they will have enough time to stabilize the city defense, this time is the most important, it depends on the ability of Dengzhou intelligence personnel.

Chen Xin pondered for a moment and said to Wu Jianzhong, "This official has already told Yu Dacheng that my ministry is going to Qixia, and you still stay in Laizhou, try to send some into the city, and wait for my orders." ”

Wu Jianzhong was a little surprised, "Qixia is not an important place, the road to Dengzhou is mountainous, and it is easy to be blocked by Li Jiucheng, why did Dajin go there?" ”

Chen Xin said lightly: "When the official arrives in Qixia, he can act more freely, and he can protect Wendeng from being disturbed by the rebels." ”

Wu Jianzhong thought silently for a while, Qixia and Ninghaizhou are the two ways to Wendeng, and going there can indeed ensure that Wendeng is safe, but after thinking about it carefully, he suddenly found a possibility, and looked at Chen Xin's gaze and couldn't help but feel more admiration.
