Chapter 200: Can't go out

But how to explain my own view can only be explained by the hundreds of years of history that I already know and will only happen in the future. This is really ridiculous and a paradox.

However, Sun Hedou showed an expression of understanding on his face, stood up from behind the desk, and said with a little emotion:

"My father's mentor, Mr. Xu Ge, once wrote, 'Everyone said that slaves are good at bows and horses. The strongest ones are called bows and horses, but they do not know that slaves' infantry are very skilled and divided and combined with each other'. My father also said in private that the infantry of the Eastern Barbarians were skilled in combat skills and dared to charge in battles. Only the generals and personal soldiers in our Ming Dynasty could do this. It is estimated that the Eastern Barbarians can mobilize 100,000 strong soldiers, and how many of our Ming generals can have? The Eastern Barbarians are the real big trouble. If they are still treated today, they will definitely be a disaster in the future!"

At the end, Sun He's speech began to become excited. Sun Yuanhe's teacher was Xu Guangqi, a science master in the late Ming Dynasty. He was a great scholar who was clear-minded and understood the general trend of the world. His views were naturally different from scholars and bureaucrats like the Ming Dynasty who only read the books of sages.

Speaking of this, Li Meng stood up again and said solemnly:

"Mr. Sun, there are only a few people in the world who can see the harm of the Eastern Captain Jurchens. Although Li Meng is humble and speaks lightly, he is willing to use all his strength to stop the disaster. Are you willing to help me?"

After asking this, even the word "no" in "can" was saved. When both sides talked about this, Sun Hedou seemed to be unable to find any reason to refuse.

Sun Hedou bent his body slightly to show respect for Li Meng, and teased:

"I came to Shandong and didn't agree to the adults. I'm afraid I'll be locked up here for the rest of my life. Sun also wanted to take advantage of his old age to take a boat and go out to sea to see it. But I don't understand. In addition to this firearm technique, Sun has just read the military strategy at best. I don't know where I use me!"

Hearing the other party agreeing, Li Meng's excitement became a little relaxed, and he said with a loud smile:

"It's for this firearm technique!"

The words with Sun Hedou were the ones that Li Meng expressed the most thoughts in his heart since he came to this era. However, after the conversation, although he had the joy of adding talents, he also had the fear of loneliness and helplessness. It seems that we cannot expect everyone to have a consensus on many things, but we have to let go.

Since the governor's office was about to break up with Li Meng, the general of Laizhou, who strengthened his garrison in Qingzhou, Li Meng always had to make some moves. Except for the cavalry who kept in touch, the rest of the cavalry were sent to Qingzhou Prefecture.

This year, the famine caused by the severe drought caused many farmers and even small landlords to wander, and many of them became bandits. However, Li Meng also had "moral politics" and began to recruit horse teams. Any warrior with horses could enter the Jiaozhou camp to become a cavalry. The assessment was not difficult, but after entering, he could get 50% of the food and salary.

Although it is 50%, anyone who has had a little contact with Jiaozhou Camp knows that the 50% of the food and salary is 50% real, without any deduction. The money and food are already more than the full salary of many troops. This natural disaster, man-made disaster, Shandong, Shanxi, Henan, and northern Zhili, are all major disasters. Even if you are refugees, you have nowhere to go, Jiaozhou Camp is really the best place to go.

After the recruitment notice was released, people from all over the place were really enthusiastic and joined. It is worth mentioning that the notice was mainly told by private salt dealers to various green forest villages and horse bandits. These bandits riding horses could pass the Jiaozhou camp assessment. They had some military experience and were more likely to become soldiers. As for their style, they had their own military discipline to restrain them.

Although the bandit leaders from all over the country knew that Li Meng was poaching openly, they thought about the destroyed counterfeit gangs, so they could only endure it with their noses. Li Meng was the most useful person to speak in the underworld of Shandong Green Forests. He was the biggest private salt salt owl.

In early November, Li Meng's horse team had expanded to more than 2,000 people. Except for the former 600 veterans and 300 new horse training troops, the rest were all horse bandits and robbers who surrendered.

Kong Sande, who was in charge of the shops of Yansheng Gongfu, received 30,000 taels of silver from the shops of Li Meng of Jining Prefecture. Yansheng Gongfu was a veritable local emperor in Qufu. He had countless manors and accumulated countless food and grass. However, Kong Sande started his own business within the Kongfu.

First, he purchased a large amount of stored grain and grass, and then relied on his connections to free up several large manors. These manors were all on the periphery of Qufu. During the famine, the Yansheng Gong Mansion took out very little to help the poor, saying that they had not accumulated much and had to maintain it themselves. However, Kong Sande took out real money and silver, and these grain and grass immediately poured out like magic tricks.

Although Kong Sande has a low status in Yansheng Gong Mansion, he is one of the richest people. Naturally, his family does not lack these foods and uses, but no one will ask a question in front of real money and silver.

In mid-November, Li Meng's more than 2,000 horse team had already stopped in several large manors near Qufu, but to the outside world, these people were still stationed in Linzi, Qingzhou Prefecture.

In the Li family manor in Fengmeng Town, the personal guards were preparing nervously. An officer was in and out of Li Meng's room. Li Meng was wearing full military uniforms in the main hall. Wang Hai stood aside, and Li Meng listened to his subordinates' reports intently.

"Sir, the Jiaohe River has not been frozen yet, and the six 700-pound cannons have been transported away by a ship."

"Sir, Master Ning has already spent 20,000 taels of cash on his side and has already loaded it on the carriage."

Li Meng turned his head and looked at Wang Hai, and said:

"Are you ready for those 300 people?"

Wang Hai saluted a military salute solemnly and replied in a solemn voice:

"Please rest assured, you can be ready at any time."

While talking, there were guards outside who preached:

"Master Qian Huang Ping asked to see the Lord."

Hearing this rumor, Wang Hai's face was a little wrong. An outside officer was suddenly promoted to his deputy, and the guards' methods of guarding were changed, giving people the feeling that he was incompetent. Huang Ping was suddenly promoted, and there were even rumors in Jiaozhou Camp that Huang Ping was about to take his position. After all, Li Meng was assassinated on the street, and in the end, he needed the general to face the assassin directly. The leader of the guard was indeed a bit dereliction of duty.

Li Meng naturally saw Wang Hai's expression and couldn't help but smile and said:

"What you have to do is follow me and don't think about those useless things. The position of the Qiang General of the Personal Army is yours. Huang Ping is useful. If you pass people in, I will talk to him alone!"

Li Meng made such a promise. Wang Hai, who was not too deep in the city, immediately smiled, bowed and hurriedly ran out.

"From today, you will not be a member of the personal military camp. I want you to build a team similar to the Tiqi cavalry, but it is not internally, but externally reconnaissance and spy. Don't look for people from the officers and soldiers. If you recruit people from the Jianghu outside, how much money you need to spend to come to me. Hou Shan can help you."

Facing Huang Ping who came in, Li Meng didn't say much, but just arranged the task neatly. After saying that, he handed Huang Ping a note, which was written by Li Meng by himself, and asked Hou Shan to cooperate with him. His calligraphy was average and his handwriting was not good-looking, but to some extent, he avoided being forged.

"Whoever has seen it, asks who will write down the date of the day on it, and when I come back, I will return the note to me."

He added a few more words and waved his hand to make Huang Ping retreat. Huang Ping hoped to engage in battle formations, but he also knew that if he climbed to a high position as soon as possible in Li Meng's system and used his strengths to stay in the Jinyiwei, the most correct way was to make the best use of his strengths in the Jinyiwei. As an outsider, being able to transcend the interests of this group is indeed a benefit of being clear to bystanders.

After giving these instructions, Li Meng tidied up the armor on his body and walked out of the main hall with great strides. The guards immediately followed and walked out of the door, but saw a servant walking towards him hesitantly.

Although the servant may be the wife and relative of his colleague, the guards immediately shouted loudly, and someone immediately stopped Li Mengma and made an attack behind him.

In Li Meng's eyes, this was indeed a bit of a fuss, but Professor Huang Ping gave them the method of escort. It is not a bad thing to develop habits with small things and caution. However, Li Meng was thinking in his heart: You must always distinguish what is danger and what is a normal experience.

The servant was already a little scared and knelt on the side of the road from a distance. A guard was unsheathed and ran over to ask questions. Logically speaking, before Li Meng went on a trip, all households in the manor should have been notified that except for the necessary people, they should not appear on the necessary road. This is a bit abnormal.

After asking a few questions, the guard inserted his weapon back into the scabbard, scratched his head in a little embarrassed manner, hesitated for a while, and turned around and shouted:

"This is the Zhou family's wife, and I have to report the family affairs to the Lord."

Since this behavior must be a private matter, Li Meng immediately greeted him, and the servant trotted over quickly. After the guards around him dispersed, he said softly under Li Meng's horse, but he was a little anxious:

"Master, the two ladies in the inner courtyard asked me to tell you that you must meet you, or... just..."

Looking at the servant below hesitating and not daring to speak, Li Meng was a little irritated and thought that he couldn't leave the door. Gu Hengbo and Liu Rushi, the servants of the Li family manor do not know their names yet, and urged:
Chapter completed!
