"In front of the yamen, there were many people who came to complain. When I asked about it, they were all military relatives of our soldiers in Liaodong. Some had their land occupied, some had their properties occupied. Others not only had their properties and land occupied,

The little daughter-in-law at home was also taken over by bullies. My father-in-law and mother-in-law went to reason with her, but her legs were broken.

Over the years, the children have made some money by fighting with the marshal. It was all money earned by the children with their lives. Now it's all gone, all gone.

How miserable! Commander...! Your soldiers were bullied by Shandong bullies and how miserable they were!" Zhang Laohan threw himself in front of Li Xiao's horse, crying like a baby in confinement. The people behind him were even more miserable.

There was a lot of howling.

"How dare the evil gentry and local tyrants in Shandong be so bold?" Li Xiao's eyes widened. He did not expect that his military relatives would suffer such treatment in Shandong.

"That's not all! Qi Laoliu from our neighboring village was killed in the war with the general last year. He didn't come back, and the officials only sent back his ashes. There was also a mourning hall in the house, and the family property was taken away by bullies from the same clan.

He went there and said that the family was deprived of money. The money Qi Laoliu had saved over the years and his wife had been taken over by his fellow clan members. They said that the wealth of the Qi family was not going to other people's fields.

Poor Qi Laoliu's three children were left unattended at home, and their four-year-old daughter actually starved to death. The second daughter was abducted by Hanako when she was begging for food."

"Brother, there used to be Qi Guobiao in the guard company. Everyone called him Qi Laoliu. He died in the battle in Macau." Li Hu reminded Li Xiao in a low voice.

Li Hu hangs out with them a lot on weekdays, so he is very familiar with them.

"Xiao Liuzi, hurry up! Come and bow quickly, this is Marshal Li, come and kowtow to Marshal Li." Zhang Laohan grabbed a seven or eight-year-old baby, pressed his head and kowtowed to Li Xiao.

"This is……!"

"This is the eldest son of Qi Laoliu's family, who escaped with us. We wanted to come to Liaodong to complain to the commander, but we were arrested by the gangsters in Shandong by land. We escaped by sea.

, three ships. Two were captured by pirates on the road. It was not easy for us to get here.

God's eyes are open! I met you Marshal Li, Marshal Li, you have to make the decision for us."

"Let us make the decision!" Dozens of people behind him cried and kowtowed to Li Xiao.

"The government doesn't care?" The current governor of Shandong is Shen Guangzuo, Mao Wenlong's uncle. Logically speaking, he should not treat the families of the Liaodong Army like this.

"At first the government still took care of it, but then they stopped looking for some reason. Even if they came to file a complaint, they would ask the government officials to fight it out. It's hard to give money to the officials. Otherwise, why would we come to Liaodong to seek justice from you?

"When he mentioned the Shandong government, Zhang Laohan gritted his teeth.

"Huzi! Find someone to settle them down." Li Xiao gritted his teeth, gave the order and galloped away towards Shanhaiguan.

"Chen Hailong, I'll fuck your grandma!" Ao Canghai slammed the ashtray to the ground, and the pieces of the ashtray collapsed onto the roof with a "bang" sound.

Li Xiao has always had a relatively strong relationship in Shandong, and both Chen Fu and Shen Guangzuo are local snakes in Shandong. Mr. Wu took a trip to Shandong with letters from Mao Wenlong and Shen Guangzuo, and figured out the situation in just ten days.

All the fingers point to one person, that is Chen Hailong.

Li Xiao was sitting on the main seat, with all the senior generals of the Liao army gathered on both sides. This matter is still strictly controlled within the scope of Shanhaiguan. If it spreads to Changxing Island and Jinzhou, the military morale will be lost.

"This bastard, I knew he was a wolf. Thank you for giving him so many weapons. You even gave them more than a dozen mortars." Man Gui was also yelling at the side.

Li Xiao pinched his head helplessly. The guns and mortars given to Chen Hailong were all because of old Chen Fu. He took over other people's people, and he didn't have to give people any sweet things. If he knew that Chen Hailong, a bastard, dared to do this, he would be beaten to death. Li Xiao would not give them so much good equipment.

At the beginning, Li Xiao was full of guilt for Chen Hailong. Now it seems that he took it too much for granted. This is a troubled world where individuals cannibalize people, and Li Xiao is still used to thinking that people are too kind.

"My uncle is almost 70 this year, and he is already unable to do many things. He also suffered a stroke last year, and his body and bones are even worse than before. He has already submitted to the court to retire and return to his hometown. He is powerless to do things in Shandong." Mao Wenlong is still like that. He was so cunning that he took out his uncle as soon as he opened his mouth.

Shen Guangzuo's political life has come to an end, so there is no need for Shandong officials to give him face. Chen Hailong, the admiral, has become a favorite. As a marquis, he is likely to switch from a military position to a civilian position and become the new Shandong governor. Governor.

If there is anyone in the world who has a sharper nose than a dog, it must be the small local officials. Although these guys have low status, they have extremely sensitive political sense. Something big happened in Jinan Governor’s Yamen , it spread throughout Shandong within two days.

It is estimated that every official in Shandong Province is aware of the fact that Shen Guangzuo had a stroke and submitted his resignation.

"This matter must be resolved. If it is not resolved, there is no telling whether the war can be fought. Whether the morale of the military can be stabilized is a matter of two opinions." Yuan Chonghuan is most worried about his military morale. Most of his second divisions are recruits. , the psychological quality is much worse than that of the veterans of the First Division.

If this kind of thing really spreads throughout the Second Division, it will be very difficult to suppress the troops.

What makes Yuan Chonghuan even more uneasy is that Ao Canghai's first division is on Changxing Island. After all, it is still an island, so it is not difficult to block the news. But Jinzhou is too close to Shanhaiguan, and there are often messengers. If you want to control the news, It's really too difficult.

Now there are sporadic rumors quietly spreading among the Second Division.

Rumors were as pervasive as the wind, and Yuan Chonghuan believed that it would not be long before the news would spread throughout the Second Division's defense area. Yuan Chonghuan was really not sure how he would lead the troops by then.

"Chen Hailong may be a little crazy and wants to take revenge on us. But he knows our strength, so he shouldn't be so courageous. Since he did this, it is enough to show that there are people in the court who support him." The old guy is very scheming, Sun Chengzong Open your closed eyes.

"Support? Who? Cui Chengxiu? Wei Zhongxian?" Sun Chengzong's words surprised Li Xiao. He did not expect that Chen Hailong would be supported by senior officials in Beijing.

Li Xiao is not afraid of Chen Hailong. But if Cui Chengxiu and Wei Zhongxian are causing trouble behind, things will not be good. After all, most of Li Xiao's current salary comes from the capital. He has just taken over nearly 200,000 refugees, and Liaodong It is estimated that it will take another year to become self-sufficient in food.

During this period, the situation must be stabilized no matter what, and Li Xiao must not fall out with the court. Otherwise, the cutoff of food and salary will completely collapse Li Xiao.

"Wei Zhongxian is unlikely. If Wei Zhongxian speaks, Chen Hailong will do it even more unscrupulously, instead of resorting to bandits and powerful people like he is doing now. Cui Chengxiu, who is probably the one who secretly instigated this, has always been sneaky.

He is so evil. He likes to stab people in the back, he is capable of such things."

"Cui Chengxiu, we didn't offend him. Why are you going against us?" Li Xiao was scratching his head and didn't understand why Cui Chengxiu wanted to embarrass him. It seemed that he had never offended him, and when Dianyifang bought shares, Li Xiao went out of his way to

Gave one share to Cui Chengxiu.

"I don't know why, but I think it's him. The rest of the people may participate. But don't forget, Cui Chengxiu is in charge of the Ministry of War now. And Chen Hailong is still the admiral of Shandong. In theory, Cui Chengxiu should be in charge of the Ministry of War.

He is one of the six ministers of the imperial court, so the weight of his words... there must be some." Sun Chengzong also held the title of minister of the Ministry of War, so he knew how powerful this title was.

"This bastard!" Li Xiao finally knew that there was no good person among the eunuchs.

"Now we don't care who in the court supports that bastard Chen Hailong. We need to go to Shandong now to kill this bastard. Otherwise, we won't be able to lead these soldiers." Ao Canghai didn't care who supported Chen Hailong.

The first division he led were all veterans, and this time they were bullied the most in Shandong. The news is still under control. If the news leaks out, the soldiers will probably mutiny immediately!

I was fighting hard in Liaodong, but here you fucking ruffians and bullies ransacked my home. Who would this happen to, and who wouldn’t rebel?

"Yes, this kind of thing can't be delayed. Now that the Tatars have no time to deal with us, let's go to Shandong to do the damn thing. We'll press that bastard Chen Hailong into a latrine to die. We, the First Cavalry Division, are willing to take the lead." Man Man

I have suffered such a loss before, and he particularly hates people like Chen Hailong.

"Yes! If the news spreads, we won't be able to lead the troops." Yuan Chonghuan was still worried that he would not be able to suppress his men.

Zu Dashou smoked and said nothing. This matter really had little to do with him. The more than 2,000 cavalrymen under his command were all old subordinates who followed him. Although Li Xiao recently started to issue military pay, Zu Dashou's prestige was somewhat reduced. But

After all, they have been masters and servants for many years, and many of them are relatives, so they still have prestige.

Now he just hopes that things won't get too messy and that he can finally take over the Liaodong Army's job. The food is not so sweet. Now if someone wants to knock him back to his original shape, of course he won't do it.

Mao Wenlong lowered his head and smoked. He should have settled matters in Shandong. Unfortunately, his uncle is basically retired now. He has no control over matters in Shandong and cannot control them.

In fact, only Yuan Chonghuan and Zu Dashou would give Mao Wenlong some face when he spoke. In front of Master Ao and Master Man, Mao Wenlong was like a clay Bodhisattva. This really pissed off these two men, and they dared to beat Mao Wenlong directly.

"Mr. Sun, what do you think?" Seeing that his subordinates were silent and clamoring to be beaten and killed, Li Xiao still looked at Sun Chengzong. Unknowingly, Li Xiao had regarded Sun Chengzong as a good teacher and friend.

"A fight is inevitable! No matter who in the court is supporting Chen Hailong, we must fight this time. But we have to find an excuse for this fight, otherwise the court will not be able to explain it. In any case, we still need to fight now

Only the capital's money can support Liaodong's expenses."

"Excuse...!" Li Xiao was in trouble and entering Shandong in the name of a bandit bully who bullied the military. Today's Shandong is not under the control of Governor Ji Liao. Mao Wenlong's orders can't control Chen Hailong.

Since Chen Hailong is the military commander of Shandong, Chen Hailong is naturally in charge of suppressing bandits. The imperial court will not allow it to dispatch troops from the front line of Liaodong to Shandong to suppress bandits. You must know that the Jurchen Tatars in Liaodong are the most dangerous thing. Shandong

No matter how ferocious the bandits are, it is nothing more than scabies.

I have never heard of any large group of bandits that could threaten the rule of the Ming Dynasty.

"I have already thought of an excuse for you, to suppress the Japanese!" Sun Chengzong said slowly.

"Suppress the Japanese?" Everyone is a little confused. The Japanese pirate rebellion has been put down for many years. Even Qi Jiguang, the famous anti-Japanese general, has died of old age. Where are the Japanese pirates coming from along the coast now? They are pirates from the Ming Dynasty, robbing homes and collecting protection fees. Zheng Zhilong is among them.

Excellent representative!

"If you want to defeat Chen Hailong, you must do these things. First, let the Japanese pirates send troops. Help us remove Chen Hailong's power on the coast of Shandong. Brother Xiu's navy will naturally be able to deal with Chen Hailong's broken ships.

You can also ask Master Zheng to send troops from the south to besiege places like Huangdao and Rizhao. Chen Hailong and his father, Chen Lin, are pirates and monks. As long as they are forced not to go to the sea, they can only go into the mountains.

But there are only so many mountains, and so many troops have invaded. How to deal with the food and fodder in the mountains? The soldiers cannot eat well or sleep well, and it is easy for them to get sick due to acclimatization. Even our army cannot bear that kind of life, let alone

Not to mention the Chen family, who were born pirates.

Not letting him go into the sea would be like breaking his legs."

"Go on." Seeing Sun Chengzong take out a large wooden stick from his pocket, Ao Canghai quickly struck a match and lit it.

"If you don't let the Chen family go to the sea, it will be a matter of time before they are wiped out. The tiger sharks in the sea can't even do shit on land.

As for suppressing bandits on this road, let the Japanese send troops. We will send a division to help the Japanese."

"You led this group of Japanese pirates to hunt down Chen Hailong in Shandong. We are not good at close combat and field combat. But most of Chen Hailong's family are pirates. In addition to his tattoos and fierceness, his water skills are also good. The further inland we go,

, the combat effectiveness of these pure infantrymen becomes increasingly humble.

If Chen Hailong really went into the mountains, I can definitely say that he is dead." Sun Chengzong quickly started writing.

"Use the Japanese people? What if the Japanese people regain their iron-blooded and samurai spirit? North Korea will be the first to suffer!" In fact, what Li Xiao is most afraid of is the quality of those Japanese. They are all letters from thousands of miles away from fighting.

.

This is one of the most cruel and easy-to-kill ethnic groups in the world. To trust them is definitely a brilliance to your heart.
