Chapter 240: Uneasy

The school that was giving the order was kneeling on the ground and looked at the general Li Meng in front of him. To be honest, he did not have much hope for this order. When the former governor of Shandong sent a message to General Liu Zeqing and Qiu Lei to dispatch troops, his companions were all stopped outside by the other party, and either he was sick or the soldiers were unable to mobilize them in a hurry.

But what I did this time was to send an order, and there was no need for me as a little man to worry about other things.

"Take the papers over!"

Li Meng's on the steps suddenly felt very heavy. The relaxed mood he had just joked with Wu Zhizhou disappeared, and he felt that he was quite complicated.

In recent years, I have collected written archives of military and military cases and talked to veterans who had experienced wars. The Qing army entered the pass three times, and the soldiers and military academy who had experienced wars were also paid to Shandong. But for Li Meng, the more he learned about the Qing army through these war witnesses and written archives, the less confident he felt.

I thought I was a time traveler, hundreds of years ahead of this era, and everything I had to do was extremely easy and I could succeed.

The person who just came here also thought so, but the real situation is far less simple than those in the online novels that modern times read. From maintaining one's own food and clothing, to the forces under one's own, everything has to be done by yourself. There are several stunning women in the family and they also have enough financial resources to provide luxury, but there is still no slack of slack every day. Jiaozhou camp, salt affairs, and military farming need to be cared for. If you relax a little, your own power will not be able to make progress.

The people around, whether they were the military generals below or the eunuch Liu Fulai in Nanjing, had told Li Meng that their strength has been achieved, and there is no need to work so hard, and it is time to be rich and happy.

According to most of the territory of a province, there are also loyal elite soldiers and generals in their hands. The court is already in a state of great movement, and demotion is impossible. If you go further, you will be the general of the general and the position of third-class title. There is not much room for upward movement, or there will be no more goals to strive for.

Since that's the case, why do you have to be like this now? Why not learn from Zheng Zhilong in Anping, Quanzhou Prefecture, build a magnificent mansion, gather all over the world to enjoy the beauty, and enjoy it for a few years!

Why Li Meng couldn't answer this? This is also the place where he was the least able to understand but could not explain it in this era. Li Meng knew that he was the largest force in Shandong at present, but this force was not worth mentioning in the future turmoil of the Ming, Shun and Qing dynasties.

The essence of the Ming Dynasty's army lies in border towns. Shandong has never been a place to promote the army. Even the generals were established during the Tianqi period. Li Meng was the largest and strongest in Shandong. He also easily won the troops against Qiu Lei and Liu Zeqing, but this was a low-level war after all.

How much worse are the soldiers and horses in Shandong than the soldiers and horses on the nine sides, how much worse are the soldiers and horses in the camp, and how much worse are the soldiers and horses of the Donglu Juzhen? Li Meng had no foundation in his heart.

The battles between the elite troops of the Ming Dynasty and the Qing army were almost the same. They were defeated, defeated, and completely defeated. According to the information obtained by Li Meng from the words and witnesses, the firearms of many armies were even stronger than themselves, and the army was even more elite in a hundred battles, but the result was the same, defeated.

If it were the Jiaozhou camp army, what would be the result? Li Meng also didn't know.

What is the most instinctive thing for a person? It is to survive. Li Meng came to the late Ming Dynasty and was still less than thirty years old. He could live for a long time based on his physical health. But even if he couldn't remember the accurate historical chronology, just relying on the half-baked historical knowledge of elementary and junior high schools in modern times, Li Meng also knew that there were not many years since the demise of this dynasty and the chaos in the world.

If you want to survive and live with dignity, you must participate in the changes in this great era. You cannot be called a chess piece at the mercy of others, but you must become a chess player.

For this goal, Li Meng has been trying every means to work hard, as if he was playing a farming game, constantly strengthening his economic, military, and political strength, constantly making himself stronger and stronger. If he is stronger, he will have more chances of survival in the future.

In fact, Li Meng's goal is constantly changing. Just now, Li Meng, who was sleeping on a broken wooden board, just wanted to eat a few bites of white flour and white rice, with more meat and fish, and he was satisfied. But step by step, he was already the general. He had tens of thousands of people under his command to fight for him and kill and wounded, hundreds of thousands of people worked hard for him, and millions of people could live safely because of him. Now Li Meng is not alone, he is the leader of his group. Now Li Meng not only has huge rights and wealth, but also has huge responsibilities. He is responsible for his life and death, and for his subordinates' glory and wealth.

Li Meng, who was standing on the steps, was browsing the notices there. The yard was silent. The school who was kneeling on the ground was also a little confused. First, the general was actually literate, and second, it was obviously a very simple order document, so why did it take for so long?

The document to mobilize troops to support defense was issued in the name of the Governor's Office. What was said above was indeed simple. It was nothing more than the Donggu who entered the enemy from the border, and the province was connected with the Northern Zhili. The troops from various departments entered Jinan Prefecture and Dongchang Prefecture in an emergency.

At present, the capital was in panic. Although Northern Zhili and Shandong were close, the letters were not convenient. The Kuaima messenger also had to worry about his life. Shandong Governor Yan Jizu only knew that the Tartars had entered the pass, but he didn't know how many people had come and what trends they were now.

The two prefectures bordering the Northern Zhili area have only two thousand soldiers in Dongchang Prefecture, and the Shandong general Qiu Lei of Jinan Prefecture has only eight thousand soldiers, so he is unable to defend or protect anything. The most powerful army in Shandong is naturally Li Meng, the general of the four prefectures, and Yan Jizu, the governor of Shandong, can be said to have placed all his hopes on him.

"You have worked hard on the road. Let's take a rest first and return to Jinan Prefecture tomorrow. Please report to the Governor. I will send troops in four days. I hope the Governor will inform the local officials everywhere. Please give it convenience when marching in Jiaozhou Camp."

The personal guards in the yard did not change much, but the magistrate Wu Wensong, who was sitting in the house, was stunned. Nowadays, the governors dispatched troops, and the local military leaders were shirking their responsibilities. Otherwise, they would just raise a lot of conditions and preserve their personal strength to have the capital to be powerful.

This domineering and smart character of Li Meng agreed so happily. The school kneeling on the ground was similar to that of Wu Zhizhou. When he knelt on the ground, he thought a lot, such as what reasons would the young ginseng standing in the top be used to swear.

According to companions, when the thieves were wandering in Henan that day, the governor went to Caozhou to dispatch troops. Caozhou General Liu Zeqing hugged his concubine and joked, while saying that he was seriously ill and could not leave.

The generals of the four prefectures who are divided into four prefectures are very famous in Shandong Province. Most of them say that this person is cruel and ruthless and has the ability to make money. He has reached such a position in a few years. With such great strength, he must be a selfish and self-interested role that ignores the overall situation. It is extremely normal to be rejected.

Why? He agreed so easily. Could it be that he was fooling me? The school was surprised and didn't care about any etiquette. He looked up and saw that Li Meng's face had not changed, but it seemed like a real promise.

For some reason, the school was only moved. She cried and begged for all the acting actions she made, kowtowed solemnly on the ground, and said:

"Thank you, Lord Li, for sending troops."

The school's fast horse was galloping. Although it was in a tired state, it was actually exhausted and his energy was almost exhausted. Several Li Meng's personal soldiers came forward to help him down.

"Go and call Wang Hai, Tang Er, Ning Qiangui, and Zhou Yang to the inner study room and let all the messengers stand by in the front yard. Go quickly!"

Seeing the school delivering letters leaving the yard, Li Meng issued an order in a stern voice. After hearing this, the personal soldiers around him rushed out. Wu Wensong, the governor of Jiaozhou, looked at Li Meng's actions and felt very confused.

"Military information is urgent. I am accused of the crime. Please ask Master Wu to come back first!"

Li Meng said politely here. Wu Zhizhou was naturally tactful and said that he had something to do at home and said goodbye. However, when he walked by Li Meng, he still couldn't help but speak:

"Mr. Li, you and my family have some words, just take the initiative to speak. The military generals are all in power and soldiers under their hands. If there is no soldier, even if you have Yue Wumu's loyalty, it is useless. This war is a matter of losing troops and losing generals. Think twice!"

Except for those who were in the personal guards, the rest of the people went to send messages everywhere. Li Meng stood on the steps and said nothing after greeting Wu Zhizhou, but he didn't expect that the other party would say something after going out. Li Meng didn't speak out, and his eyes kept looking elsewhere. Wu Wensong also felt a little regretful, thinking that it was no longer the time for him to be a magistrate, and now Li Meng's status can be barely considered as the lord of Shandong. His words are indeed beyond his reach.

After a while, Li Meng smiled and said slowly:

"This is a national war, and the Han family members take it as their own."

Wu Wensong didn't dare to continue to say more, bowed quickly, and walked towards the door. After walking a few steps, he heard Li Meng whisper behind him:

"If Yue Wumu was there, what would he do?"
