After promulgating the imperial edict, Eunuch Mo received warm reception from the Shandong Governor and the governor. Shandong General Li Meng naturally presented a generous gift. The little unhappiness he encountered on the school ground naturally disappeared.

I stayed in Jinan Prefecture for five days. On the last night before leaving, several civilians in Jinan City suddenly appeared next to the imperial envoy's mansion. Li Meng's guards outside were closely guarded. These people finally got a gap before they got into a collapsed wall in the backyard, handed over some documents to Eunuch Mo, and then talked for a while, so they ran out quietly.

Eunuch Mo was completely relieved. Coming to Shandong to announce the imperial edict was a troublesome, but fortunately all the errands were done this time. He heard from the secret spies of the Jinyiwei that the Shandong general Li Meng was a little domineering and used his own power and even looked down on the governor and the guards, but he had no strange intentions. He was a crude soldier with a low background and no knowledge. He knew that he would grab money and power to arrest women, and have a banquet with the two famous Qinhuai prostitutes every day. However, he was very vulgar and had a lot of jokes, such as he wrote some limericks and his coke. From this point of view, everything in Shandong was normal, and Lao Mo himself didn't have to bear any responsibility.

These are all hidden stakes where the Jinyiwei ambushed here. What they said should be very credible. Maggie Mo thought that if he returned this news to the capital, the emperor and the ministers would definitely feel relieved.

The next day, when Eunuch Mo left, the governor led a group of civil and military officials to show him respectfully. He was polite. Everyone in the imperial envoy felt that this time it was not in vain. It was impossible to see that Shandong was a poor place, but he was willing to spend the gifts. He finished all the errands perfectly and was happy to leave.

After those "Embroidered Uniform Guards" came out, they walked out of the street where the imperial envoy lived, and were taken away by armed salt dynasties, locked up in the house and recounted what they said to the imperial envoy tonight.

It is easy to say about literary newspapers. The book was written by the Jiaozhouying Library Office. Although there were prior arrangements, it would take only after inquiries to confirm.

What a few people said was slightly different, and they were repeatedly asked, which made people unable to help but collapse, but the interrogation was soon ended because the caliber of these people was completely consistent and there was no possibility of fraud.

Jinyiwei and Dongchang spies in Jinan are not confidential or hidden. After the population in Jinan was robbed by the Tartars, the people living in the city were either military families of Jiaozhou Camp or officials from various civil servants. Almost everyone recorded the records in Jiaozhou Camp.

In a province in Shandong, it is said that a thousand households of Jinyiwei were set up. After this thousand households led their hands to Jinan City, the situation was similar to eunuchs such as Chen Min, and they were directly enclosed in the yard, calling it "the place is unstable. For the sake of safety", the thousand households of Jinyiwei really didn't believe in evil.

But after his subordinates went out several times but didn't come back, everyone from here was scared. They went to the Jinan Prefect's Office to ask, and they said that the city was in a bad state and bandits often appeared. We can send a service to investigate, but don't have too much hope.

Go to the army in the city. The answer from Jiaozhou Camp is very simple. We are war soldiers and are not responsible for local public security and are powerless.

At this time, the person who reminded the Jinyiwei during the day had a "good intention" to say sarcastic words, saying that he had already said hello in advance and did not listen to advice, and he would suffer a loss this time...

After being scared at first, I was honest for a few months. Every day, I also had delicious food and drinks, and the salary was full of money. The only disadvantage is that I cannot go out to act as a mighty person. However, in this position, I have heard some more and less news, knowing that the Jiaozhou camp outside is a tiger and wolf that eats people and does not spit bones, so don’t cause trouble.

The Jinyiwei stationed in various places has to submit documents to the court every month, and various local situations and whether officials have any abnormal activities, all of them have to be reported.

The work of Jinan Jinyiwei Qianhu Institute is relatively simple. If you want to apply for anything and don’t apply for it, someone will write it for them. After the stamp is confirmed, you will arrange someone to help them deliver it. If you are under the eaves, you must bow your head. Of course, if your neck is under the blade, it will be even lower.

As for the spies who were infiltrated in the city, these people did not have an official identity, and those who were disobedient were killed directly. The obedient ones were treated no differently from those of the Jinyiwei on the surface. They were all raised as pigs.

After Majesty Mo left, the court's "grace reward" for Shandong could not be completed simply by simply stimulating it on the school ground. After this order was framed, it would be declared in the military camps stationed in various places in Jiaozhou Camp, so that the soldiers and horses from all over the country could see the heavy "grace reward" of the court.

However, in addition to this announcement, some people went to various armies to incite, and their caliber was quite unified. "The commander was so great, but the court was extremely stingy. The meritorious soldiers received only a dozen quotations, and they sent eunuchs to clamp it..." And so on, of course, even if there was no encouragement, everyone's mind was already cold, let alone the fire was inciting words. There were several battalions, and the battalion officials "made their own decisions" and set up a tablet of immortality in the camp. They fucked each morning and evening, and they asked loudly: "Who are we eating?" The soldiers replied: "Eat Marshal Li's meal!" and asked again: "Who should we work for?" The soldiers answered again: "Who should we work for?" The soldiers answered again: "Which military force should we work for?" Although these battalions were divided into various places, they were all battalions with more new recruits and more soldiers outside Jiaozhou...

In this announcement of the imperial edict, Emperor Chongzhen may indeed have thought about the reasons for rewards and decrees to win over the soldiers and generals in Shandong, but Emperor Chongzhen has always taken it for granted. This time, the win has had a real counterproductive effect.

The reverse effect is nothing. The key issue is that this will was fully utilized by Li Meng and fueled the fire from another direction. Instead, it made the soldiers in Shandong recognize who they were their parents of food and clothing and who gave them today.

Unlike the peace in Jinan City, there was a tense atmosphere for the first time in other prefectures and counties in Shandong. This was the first time that Jiaozhou Camp has determined its control over Shandong.

However, the reason for this tense and uneasy atmosphere was not someone else. It was Jiaozhou Ying himself. After discovering Manchu spies in Dengzhou Prefecture City, the officials in charge of Shandong's internal affairs were all bleak and decided to strictly inspect and correct themselves. At the same time, the instructions sent by Li Meng made many people realize the seriousness of the matter.

Shandong General Li Meng wanted to do things as a low-key and cautious person, never show off his work, and always pay attention to standards when doing things. He told his subordinates many times that what is wrong? If he did it, he would be wrong. Everything should be measured.

This order was clearly to let the people below do it. The six words "I would rather kill the wrong ones than let go" were filled with murderous aura, and at the same time, it also made the people below Shandong who were doing business feel Li Meng's anger.

Since the commander was furious, he should go and investigate carefully. The inner account took the lead, Shandong Salt Gang, and Lingshan Trading Company immediately took action and arranged detailed land investigation details in various places.

The Salt Gang and the Trading Bank have their own points in every county in Shandong. The Trading Bank is in the open and the Salt Gang is in the dark. They know the situations in various places and the monsters and demons. With them taking the lead, they will naturally know themselves and enemies.

However, the commerce and the salt gang only formulate detailed rules and provide guidance. What is really involved in the implementation of the armed salt genitals. Now the responsibilities of the magistrates and magistrates in Shandong are mainly concentrated on civil affairs. Most of the responsibilities in public security have been replaced by armed salt genitals.

Yanding is the predecessor of Jiaozhou Camp. Its local responsibility has always been to protect the safety along the road and ensure the smooth progress of private salt business in Shandong Province.

But now, even the blind thieves would not have the idea of ​​making a private salt, but the armed salt dick has been retained for a while. The current armed salt dick is composed of several parts, and most of the officers are veterans who have retired from the Jiaozhou camp. The soldiers are composed of the children of powerful landlords who are attached to the Li Meng system.

These children often have too deep family imprints, and it is difficult for them to integrate into the group when they enter the army, so they are trained in armed salt for a period of time.

There are also those who are not Zhuang Ding. The recruitment standards of Jiaozhou Camp are relatively strict, and many young people with relatively good conditions have also been defeated. Since they are here to sign up for the military, these people will definitely not be content with farming and let them go home. This is also an unstable factor.

This kind of young and strong man who was named "second-class" during recruitment was basically absorbed into the salt ding team. The composition of the armed salt ding team is relatively complex. However, the training is not bad at all than the army. Basically, the army's things were brought over.

Although armed salt dicks have no chance to train themselves in actual combat and their equipment is not as good as regular soldiers, they are completely enough to deal with small local chaos. Moreover, they are local people from Shandong. Although they are stationed in other places, they are clear about any situations in the local area and can handle them easily.

There are fifty people in small counties, one hundred people in large counties, two hundred people in prefecture cities, three hundred people in major transportation roads and prefecture cities, as well as rivers and passes, as long as they are within the scope of Shandong, armed salt dynas must be stationed.

Armed salt dings are not only responsible for salt transportation now, but now they are also responsible for the inspection and taxation of ordinary goods and the heavy responsibility of checking pedestrians. At the same time, they also have to learn how to transport materials and how to repair roads. In the war, they are the best helpers of Jiaozhou Camp, the so-called local work team, combat team, and production team.

Although armed salt dynasties only have the obligation to "help" local yamen runners to maintain public security, in fact, whoever has more people and more power will be dominated by public security. Moreover, whoever has a big stick in his hand will speak louder. In the local area, in a county yamen, there are only a few registered officials, such as county magistrates, and only these few people can get the food and salary of the court. The head yamen runners, etc., have to rely on officials to get money everywhere to support them, and there is no administrative funding at all. If the county magistrate has a way, then the yamen runners can raise dozens of them, and they can barely suppress the surroundings of the county town, but the means of getting money are nothing more than fire consumption and grain consumption, which are all in the right way.

The tax is levied to make local administrative funds. The general magistrate, that is, one liang of regular tax, can only take three cents to five cents, which is barely enough. Some powerful magistrates can take three cents to get by themselves, which is so rich. But now Jiaozhou Camp has emerged and the family is the only one, and even the official tax cannot be collected. The magistrates have to take the salary to make a cup of tea every day. They either play chess with the county magistrate from dawn in the morning to dark, or squat on the ground to watch the ants crawl, and who has any time to control public security. Naturally, armed salt priests actually dominate the maintenance of public security, and have enough voice, or the only voice.

Armed salt genies are the effective guarantee for Jiaozhou Camp to maintain its civil affairs system.

Li Meng ordered a strict investigation of the local government to see if there were any spies who were infiltrated everywhere. They were the ones who were armed with the responsibility of public security and were the executors who were the executors.

When the Jiaozhou camp army was still in Henan, the investigation of armed salt ding had already begun. The inspection method was very simple. People who moved here were all focused on the countryside in this era, and there was no big deal and they were reluctant to leave their hometown.

There are two types of large populations that migrate everywhere in Shandong. One is refugees who leave their hometowns due to famines and famines. These people have been resettled into military farms. The other is Liao people from Liao Town. Most of these people have been absorbed into the military and craftsmen.

In addition to these two types of people, newly moved in are suspected of immigrants in the past two years. However, although the armed salt stewards are checking these people in detail, they do not focus all their energy on this. In some places, there are only four or five new immigrants, but the armed salt stewards are still investigating them in full swing.

At present, Shandong's territory that is firmly controlled by Li Meng is Dengzhou Prefecture, Laizhou Prefecture, Qingzhou Prefecture and southern Jinan Prefecture. Although the other prefectures and Jiaozhou Camp have garrisons and Tianzhuang, the local Datianzhuang are under the control of other landlords. For example, the Kong family has large areas of land in Yanzhou Prefecture and Jinan Prefecture, and the King of Lu occupied other places in Yuyang City, and the land in Yanzhou Prefecture is the best in Shandong.

Confucius Mansion. That is what the people in the world want. Who dares to touch a little finger and naturally disappear. The King of Lu is a virtuous town and a giant. As the general of Shandong, Li Meng always has to respect the king's affairs. He is not too good to force them, and he can only let them be there. But in the territory he firmly controls, there is not completely no noise.

Although the official roads were occupied by literati in Jiangnan, Shandong was located between the north and the south, and there were more officials than in other provinces. Therefore, there were also many officials in the place where they retired. These people should be polite to them in the local government, and some literati from wealthy families, as well as families with officials outside.

The above mentioned people, plus those who are stubborn and use their fingers to Jiaozhou Ying every day, are the disharmonious voices in the jurisdiction of Jiaozhou Ying.

After returning to Shandong by Li Meng's instructions, "I'd rather kill the wrong one, don't let it go", the first person to see this order was the inner account room. The girls were quite shocked when they saw it, but they had no idea for a moment, but there was a person who was the leader next to them - the old eunuch Liu Fulai.

When the old eunuch was in the imperial palace of the capital, he had many positions as an internal supervisor and had agencies such as the Jinyiwei of the East Factory. He naturally had a set of rules and regulations in his mind for this kind of cleaning and investigation. With a little guidance on these details, many people felt enlightened.

The investigation of various forces infiltrated into Shandong's secret spies cannot be relaxed, but we can use this reason to investigate those families and forces in the places where there are hidden dangers in the Jiaozhou camp. Using this investigation to attack their forces, it will also shock the mountains and tigers and shock the signs in the hearts of others.

Armed salt deputies investigated every place in a large scale. For example, some prefectures and counties between Qingzhou and Yanzhou are deep inland, neither relying on the sea nor canals, and there are no military camps and craftsmen around them. In such places, as long as the spies are not stupid, they will not come to such places to take root and lurk.

But the armed salt gangs in Jiaozhou Camp still had a lot of fun checking. Whoever complained about Shandong's soldiers, whoever had opinions about General Li Meng, and whoever had sarcastic attitude towards Shandong now, Shandong Salt Gang and Lingshan Trading Company would know a little about it. This investigation was based on the list of these people one by one.

The retired officials, the relatives of officials, the landlords and gentry who were damaged by the Jiaozhou camp, and those scholars were basically wealthy families, and the poor almost all saved their lives because of Li Meng's military farming policy. Under the military control, no one dared to say anything. A salt chief even shouted the slogan "Everyone wants to pass the test, no one in the world is a sinless person", and the scholars were shocked for a moment.

That is, these people who are not in Jiaozhou Camp and who think they are qualified to speak dare to speak nonsense. These people are considered rich families, and the four words "wealthy" are not empty talk. These people are more or less a bit of a bad intention, and in such a disaster year, they should not be too soft-hearted.

Even if there are no such problems, who will not make any mistakes in life? As long as there are mistakes, you can be deeply involved and investigated by the armed salt diary. Even if it is finally found out that it is fine, hundreds of armed salt diary will go around your village every day, and no one can stand it. But they don’t eat your drink and take your land. They will all take the truth after saying it out. As for whether this is considered infinite play. The right to explain is in the Shandong Governor’s Office, in the hands of the Shandong Governor’s Office, and in the hands of the Shandong Censorate.

Some local governments dare not take care of these crimes found on weekdays, but more often they are too lazy to take care of them. Turning a blind eye, they will pass. Now the officials are all due to the filial piety of these people. Who should pay attention to the local officials who are close to Jiaozhou Camp?

The magistrate and the magistrate also had many complaints in their hearts, and they had a common language with these people who were investigated by the armed salt tutors, but this time they were all depressed. People were under the low eaves and had to bow their heads. They all comforted themselves like this. Of course, some people thought that a gentleman would not stand under the dangerous wall.

Some officials are determined to protect their shortcomings, but the Governor's Office, the Governor's Office, the Military Office, and the Prefectural Office have issued strict orders. They require full cooperation in the behavior of "charity", that is, the armed salt dynasty, and severe punishment of illegal people and no protection. Shandong Censors and even the various governments, if any official dares to procrastinate political affairs and hinders the law enforcement, I will definitely impeach according to the facts and never be lucky. In the past, because there were too few people who impeached, I was attacked by Master Du, and today I will definitely not tolerate one. I will impeach one is impeachment, and I will still impeach one hundred people. I will definitely not wrongly accused a person who is a decisive person, nor will I let a person who is not effective.

What's more, the salt dicks will not leave immediately after they find out the matter. They also have to wait for the local government to come up with a disposal charter, and they will not leave without a result.

From September to the end of the 14th year of Chongzhen, the entire Shandong seemed to have a storm in the area controlled by Li Meng. All individuals and families with objections were hit. The place where they took action to deal with them was the local government where they felt they stood with them.

Some people lost their money, some suffered some flesh and blood, and some people were severely warned that they were already following the landlords and gentry who were loyal to Jiaozhou camp, all of whom were grateful for themselves. Those who had been silent and neutral in their waiting and watching also knew that they should make a choice.

Even the wealthy landlords who were in Yanzhou Prefecture and Dongchang Prefecture and were a little far from Li Meng's system felt scared and panicked.

They did not have much responsibility in Li Meng's system, and they did bear much responsibility and were very free, but their shelterers were not as powerful as Li Meng. Looking at the surrounding places, the most powerful one was Shandong general Li Meng, not to mention that he had recently heard that he had cut down tens of thousands of thieves' heads in Henan.

It’s time to consider long-term things. People in Shandong who have industries at home are thinking about this.

After this investigation, Li Meng's system's efficiency in Shandong's civil affairs and economy has greatly increased, making it smooth and unobstructed.

By the way, after checking in most provinces and regions in Shandong, it was found that more than 40 Tatars were found, all of whom lived in towns on the border of Shandong. There was no way to go deeper. In addition, the salt slaughter investigation was found, and there were nearly 3,000 gentry and literati.

Time returned to mid-September. After Madam Mo left Shandong, Sun Chuanting sent someone to invite Li Meng to go there for a long time. Li Meng was a little excited and spoke almost all the words in his heart from this era.

Then he led his troops to the expedition. Before going to the expedition, he had ordered Sun Chuanting to take care of Sun Chuanting that any documents on matters of all sizes and big things in the Jiaozhou camp would be sent to Sun Chuanting for any of them to read. He asked Mr. Sun what suggestions he had and copied them down and gave them references to Eunuch Liu, Zhou Yang, Ning Qiangui and others.

However, after Li Meng came back, the person guarding Sun Chuanting reported that although documents of different severity were always sent to Mr. Sun's house, Sun Chuanting never wrote a word or said a word. After hearing this, Li Meng felt very sorry and began to consider whether to give up.

The invitation after Madam Mo left surprised Li Meng. Someone told Sun Chuanting about all kinds of things that happened in Jiaozhou Camp. Of course, he wanted Mr. Sun to give his opinions and suggestions, but Li Meng always felt that Sun Chuanting's request for advice this time was to be sarcastic.

"Mr. Sun, how many months have you not seen me? Why are you so haggard like this!?"

Go to the courtyard. There were not much changes in the courtyard. Sun Chuanting's two sons were obviously very energetic, while Sun Chuanting's second son was already much stronger. It is said that every day he trained his personal soldiers in Jiaozhou Camp, and the personal soldiers in his local soldiers told Li Meng that this kid was very talented.

But Sun Chuanting was even more haggard than when he was just rescued from the imperial prison. Although his beard and hair were tidy, he was still extremely weak when he looked at him. His cheeks were deep, his eyes were covered with red threads, and he was already thin and had a little disfigured. After seeing this, Li Meng was shocked and asked the words.

After asking, Li Meng turned his head to greet his personal soldiers and said sternly:

"Go and call the people guarding the yard. How did they treat Mr. Sun during these days when I was away!"

As soon as the personal soldier turned around, he heard Sun Chuanting stop him and said:

"Mr. Li, don't be angry. I'm depressed. I'm so depressed. I've made myself look like this. It's okay, it's okay. Just eat more food in a few days."

Originally, Li Meng was a little worried that Sun Chuanting would go on a hunger strike to show his own will. Although he planned to give up, it would be a pity to let such a talent die in front of him.

When Li Meng heard the other party say this, he couldn't help but feel happy. If Sun Chuanting said this was the truth, it means that his mentality has changed a little.

Li Meng smiled and said in a warm voice:

"Mr. Sun, no matter what you want to do, if you don't have a strong body, just don't mention everything. I'll invite a doctor to you later, take a good look, and be more generous in terms of diet, don't save Li's sanity..."

Sun Chuanting sat in his seat and clasped his fists, and said with a stern voice:

"Thank you for your concern. Sun's own body will naturally take care of you."

The scene was a little quiet, and the servants served the table with simple wine, food and food. It seemed that Sun Chuanting had already started to take care of his body and prepared white porridge and some light side dishes for him. However, Sun Chuanting's mind was obviously not on this meal. When the servants left, he spoke:

"Have the local officials left Shandong?"

"I left the day before yesterday, and I guess I will be promoted and rewarded when I return to the capital. After all, he is doing this job perfectly, and the capital will definitely be very satisfied."

When asked about this, Li Meng couldn't help but smile. The court's clumsy technique was hidden, but he was harsh and he used the force to make a good fortune for himself. When he heard people asked, he couldn't help but say a few more words:

"Li is a salt dealer, and he must have a shallow vision. He will definitely be happy to give a miscellaneous general. I believe that the 800 taels of silver cannot be regarded as ordinary silver. The silver given by Long Live will of course be worth ten taels of gold elsewhere and promote a eunuch to be the chief magistrate of the garrison. That is to regard Shandong as a big town. Li is grateful and grateful!"

Sun Chuanting was stunned for a moment, then he showed a bitter smile on his face and said in a low voice:

"The emperor nowadays always takes things for granted, and feels that he is wise and does such a foolish thing not this time. But Lord Li, after all, when this imperial envoy comes, you are a little tighter about the soldiers in your hands, and you are much more loyal to you!"

Listening to the other party's mentality and various changes in his words, Li Meng's mood also improved a lot. He couldn't help but make a funny move, got up and clasped his fists to the north and said:

"It is all the grace of the Lord, and the ministers are grateful."

"Cough cough" Sun Chuanting was obviously choked, coughed on the other side, took a sip of porridge, which calmed down, and said with a smile:

"Mr. Li is really a model of loyalty. If you tell your words in person with the court, I wonder how many people will be stunned."

"Mr. Sun, although Li's words are laughing, they are somewhat real. Without the great power of the saint and the wisdom of the Yan and Yangong, how could Li go from a slight dilemma to today? I am really grateful in my heart!"

Sun Chuanting looked at Li Meng who was smiling and talking, but thought to himself: Your status from being humble to your current status may not be the confusion above. Could it be that there is a destiny? With the help of his thoughts, Sun Chuanting sighed and said leisurely:
Chapter completed!
