Li Xiao's messenger hasn't returned yet, but Ao Ye's messenger has returned first. Regarding the idea that Ao Canghai was going to Liaodong, Li Xiao felt that it was better than letting him go back to Shandong. The guards of Juyong Pass will not let them go, and they will not really attack Juyong Pass. There is a difference between having the intention of rebelling and actually rebelling. The latter requires more thorough planning and preparation!

Tartar actually got involved with Zhang Xianzhong, which made Li Xiao scratch his head. Historically, these two groups of people seemed to be opposites, and now they are shamelessly tangled together. Zhang Xianzhong has a quantitative advantage, and Huang Taiji has a quality advantage. Li Xiao didn't think that the soft-skinned egg-like Juyong Pass or Bauhinia Pass would become an obstacle for them.

Regarding Hong Chengchou's defection, Li Xiao was not very surprised. After all, this thing was a surrender faction in his previous life, and now he just surrendered a little earlier. The difference is only that in his previous life, he consumed all the elite of the Ming Dynasty. In this life, he only took his subordinates Zuo Liangyu and He Huchen, and did not bury the elite of the Ming Dynasty in Liaodong.

Thinking of Hong Chengchou, Li Xiao thought of another person, Lu Xiangsheng.

Since this goods arrived at the Yamen of Shandong, he has been diligent. And this guy has a tendon, and he takes the Da Ming Law to get stuck in everything. As long as it conforms to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, he doesn't care. As long as someone violates the laws of the Ming Dynasty, it is useless for you to be the emperor's own son. According to his behavior pattern, Li Xiao reminds him of a person Bao Zheng!

With this Daming Baogong, the public security situation in Jinan has improved unprecedentedly. Since Lu Xiangsheng came to Jinan, those who have nothing to do and like to bully men and women feel painful.

Several people were imprisoned under the strict command of Lu Baogong, and it is said that a lot of money in the family has hit the wall, and even the bigwigs in the capital can't come forward. The officials in the Yamen did not dare to openly accept bribes as before. The last guy who received a red envelope from someone else's head is still hanging on the city wall waiting to dry.

Mr. Lu's crackdown was very effective, and the city of Jinan, which had been washed by Li Xiao. The gangsters are almost extinct, and now there is Lu Baogong again. The family with a gentleman in the family sent the son-in-law to the countryside early. Anyway, the emperor is far away, and no matter how powerful Lu Baogong is, it is impossible to control the entire Shandong with one hand.

Li Xiao likes this dogmatist very much, and people in these years are too tactful. On the contrary, there are fewer people who follow the rules! All kinds of private rules and unspoken rules are rampant, and even the old man who watches the mailroom at the entrance of the yamen is worried about receiving some benefits when he has nothing to do. Bringing a person like Lu Xiangsheng to Shandong as the supreme justice officer is really a manifestation of His Majesty the Emperor's wisdom and martial arts.

Sun Chengzong also likes this not very cooperative Lu Xiangsheng, which is manifested in the fact that he never deducts Lu Xiangsheng's case-handling funds. From time to time, he also gave some rewards for solving cases, and the stereotypical Lu Xiangsheng was also polite when he saw the old fox.

After jobs were found in various factories along the edge of the city of Jinan, and after potatoes and corn were planted, the farmers had their stomachs full. Compared with the bad situation of the Ming Dynasty, Shandong is a bumper grain harvest, the flood was driven away, and the scenery is unique here.

One after another of the imperial court's palace newspapers came, and Li Xiao shook his head helplessly again and again. God really likes to joke, why is he in such a hurry, if he gives himself another two years, Shandong will be well governed. But imperialism will not die, Huang Taiji, a dog miscellaneous, can really fucking toss. Now I regret it, and I believed him and let him go back. But think about it, if there is no Huang Taiji, it is estimated that Dolgon can toss even more.

Wang Tiqian came, not with a holy decree, but with an oracle from Emperor Chongzhen.

Zhu Youzhen really has no tricks, he has been planning for so many years, and he has only been on the throne for a few years, and the situation in the country has become like this. Outside, Nurhachi was no longer making trouble, but his sons were more noisy than his old people. Now I'm getting involved with the rebels in the northwest again, and this time I'm not going to make trouble in the northeast, but I'm going directly to the west gate of the capital.

What about the ministers in the court? Most of them are the Donglin Party headed by Qian Qianyi, and these people are very aggressive. Impeach this today, attack that tomorrow. Some of them were so bold that even the emperor dared to scold them. Speaking of domineering, Zhu Youzhen felt that they were much more domineering than Wei Zhongxian. Although Wei Zhongxian was domineering, he would not attack the emperor. Now these bastards of the Donglin Party, not to mention the emperor, even the Jade Emperor is worried about scolding.

He didn't want to ask Li Xiao for help, but he had to ask Li Xiao for help. There is no way, the roots of the three major battalions in the capital have rotten. No matter what you do, this lump of mud can't be put on the wall. It is even more unrealistic to expect soldiers from Jiangnan, who are not from the imperial court. Not at the root, they belong to the Donglin Party. Without Qian Qianyi's approval, Zhu Youzhen couldn't even transfer a single soldier into the capital. Now we can only count on Li Xiao!

"My brother, the current situation in the capital is as dangerous as an egg. Tongguan has only been guarded for one day, and only God knows how long Juyong Pass can be guarded. Brother Xiao, why do you have to fight. Otherwise...... Otherwise, long live the Lord will ......! The old Wang Tiqian tugged on Li Xiao's sleeve, and tears came out in a hurry. He is really worried about Zhu Youzhen!

"You also saw that Ao Ye went to Mongolia to break the back road of the Tartars, and it is estimated that there is a fierce battle at this time. Yuan Chonghuan is in Daling River, and he is inseparable from the blue flag. My third division has just been formed. You see, it's not even in the queue yet. Such soldiers go out to fight, that is, to deliver food to the Tartars. Li Xiao pointed out the window, and the soldiers who were training on the playground couldn't do anything. Cao Wenzhao's Third Division had only been formed for half a year, and the training of officers had just been completed.

"Brother Xiao, you can't see death without help! Old slave! The old slave knelt down for you! Wang Tiqian said, and he was about to kneel down for Li Xiao.

"This can't be helped!" Li Xiao hurriedly scooped up Wang Tiqian. "Princess, don't worry. Banzai has the grace of knowing me, and I have to squeeze out troops to support the capital no matter what. ”

"Really?"

"This kind of thing is a joke? You go back first and return to Long live, I, Li Xiao, will be rewarded with the grace of Long Live Encounter, and I will be reciprocated by a spring. It's just that I don't have enough money and food in Shandong, can I ......! ”

Wang Ti shriveled his mouth, here he is again, it's still the same old way. If you don't give money, you won't move the nest, but this is better than the Nanjing Forbidden Army. People don't move their nests even if they give money!

"Long live the order, as long as the team arrives in the capital. Immediately distribute 100,000 taels of silver, Brother Xiao'er, this is all silver that Banzai took out from the inner money. Wang Tiqian specially told Li Xiao that this was the emperor's private money.

"No problem, princess, go back to the post house first. I have to discuss with Mr. Sun how to raise the source of troops. ”

"The old slave is not tired, you should hurry up, long live there is indeed a need for reinforcements."

"Got it! That straight, send the prince out. Tell me to go down and wait! ”

"No! Princess, please come here. ”

Shunzi invited Wang Tiqian out, and Li Xiao walked to the edge of the chair and sat down. "The money is there, 100,000 taels. When the soldiers arrive in the capital, they will be given! ”

"Huh! You, Li Xiao, have already made a name for themselves in the capital. Long live also knows that you will never move your nest if you have no money. Sun Chengzong took a puff of his cigarette and flicked the ash into the ashtray.

"If you don't move your nest, do we have soldiers now? Just the ones out there? I finally built this shelf, and I can't send it to the capital to die without training. ”

"If you put your heart in your belly, there are not only soldiers but also an army of more than 9,000 people."

"You transferred Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming back?" Li Xiao's eyes widened, and now the trained ones in Shandong are Geng Zhongming and Kong Youde. But these two guys were suppressing bandits in Yimeng Mountain, and Li Xiao explicitly ordered that they should not be transferred at will without his orders.

"The suppression of bandits in Yimeng Mountain is at a critical moment, what am I transferring them for?"

"Then where did you get the army of nine thousand?"

"There are a lot of soldiers in Shandong, but you can't even look down on them. There are 20,000 or 30,000 people around Jinan! ”
