Chapter 636 The most suitable time

Even if Liu Peng only brought three or five hundred people to support Liao, his monthly expenditures, horse materials, military uniforms, etc. are astonishing. Moreover, with the current scale of Liu Peng's patrol team, how could he only brought three or five hundred people to support Liao? At least nearly a thousand people and hundreds of military horses would be dispatched.

Moreover, this is equivalent to going to Tao Langxian's confidant. At that time, the two tigers in Liaodong will fight, and he can sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight in Denglai. If Liu Peng is defeated and frustrated, then his Dengzhou Dao is the true Taoist minister, and he can uproot Liu Peng's power at will.

If Liu Peng defeated Jiannu, it would be a great thing. It was no problem to be promoted and made a fortune by himself, and he could also take the opportunity to make a lot of money. Such a beautiful thing fell from the sky. Tao Langxian agreed at the first time: "Liu Wensheng is to support Liao with confidence. As Dengzhou Haifang Road, I will fully support who to transfer and how much grain, rice and beans to use, just Liu Wensheng will say one thing."

But Liu Peng shook his head and said, "Master Daotai, it would be great if things were as simple as you thought. You haven't heard that the soldiers and horses that we rush to help in Shandong were disbanded as soon as they arrived in Liaodong. The commander could only manage thirty or fifty people at most. Ordinary military generals would be even worse. Even if they were lucky enough to be disbanded, Shangguan also treated you as an outsider. He would send you wherever he was the most dangerous place..."

Speaking of this, Liu Peng sighed: "Besides, although I have experienced Weihaiwei, I have been rushing to Liaodong to help, not to mention having the opportunity to form a self-esteem. The patrol team is my lifelong effort. How can I let others ruin it so much!"

Tao Langxian had already understood that although Liu Peng was preparing to aid Liao, he was not intended to lead a team to aid Liao in meaningless manner, and even planned to form his own army to preserve his own army system and not be disbanded. He also wanted to seek justice in the south and north. However, this is also a common sense, Tao Langxian expressed his understanding of this.

In order to send Liu Peng to Liaodong, Tao Lang felt that he could temporarily agree to some conditions for Liu Peng: "Liu Wen is well-written, and only by being honest can he speak smoothly. If Liu Wen has any ideas, you can talk to me. As long as our mansion can solve the problem, I will do my best to help you solve it."

Speaking of this, he increasingly felt that Liu Peng's plan to aid Liao was not just a piece of paper, but was very feasible, and even if he met Jiannu, he would have the opportunity to preserve the team.

Not to mention that Liu Peng has the regular force of thousands of people and can pull out thousands of troops to cross the sea to aid Liao at any time. He was prepared in Liaodong and occupied Guanglu Island. He arranged hundreds of patrolmen on the island and accommodated at least thousands of escaped Liaodong people and fled troops, turning this place into an enclave in Longkou.

For the issue of Guanglu Island, Liaodong did not know how many lawsuits he had fought with Dengzhou Prefecture. In the past, Tao Lang first thought that Guanglu Island was really a big trouble, but now he felt that Guanglu Island was an excellent opportunity.

Moreover, Denglai supplied 850,000 shi of rice beans in Liaodong this year. After being transported to Gaizhou, these rice beans were completely out of control of Dengzhou Road and could only let Liaodong waste randomly. However, if Dengzhou uses Guanglu Island as the base to send a support force into southern Liaoning, Dengzhou Road, which presides over the Shandong shipping, will naturally have a full say in the specific use of this batch of rice beans.

Moreover, he had a consistent position with Liu Peng on this issue. He did not want Liu Peng, a big man who supported the Liao army, to be eaten directly by a big man in Liaodong, to be defeated if he was vulnerable. Even if he failed, he had to persist in Liaodong for a longer period of time. Therefore, he made the correct judgment immediately.

Liu Peng immediately said, "Daotai, you know that I am just a guard experience. I don't know how many civil and military officials in Liaodong have far higher qualities than me. I can't stand up in front of them, let alone the brothers below!"

And Tao Langxian had already understood: "Liu experience, do you want to have a name? The current experience of Wei seems to be a little lower!"

Liu Peng nodded and said, "Although I am a clerk and cannot exceed the seventh rank according to the Ministry of Personnel, in the dynasty of the predecessor, there is such a precedent in Shandong!"

This is here to ask for an official!

Tao Lang first knew that Shandong did have such a precedent for Jin Tongzong in the Wanli Dynasty, and his resume was almost the same as that of Liu Peng. He first became the county magistrate, then became the ward experience, and finally became the magistrate of the government. Although it was a special period in Zhang Juzheng Bingguo, all officials from Shandong who were from officials regarded this Jin Tongzong as their goal in life.

Now Liu Peng is preparing to repeat the path that this Jin Tongzong took. Moreover, Liaodong is now frequently in big battles. In order to win a battle, the imperial court sent out many gold and silver official positions, and he paid 1.8 million taels of border salary at a time. As long as Liu Peng can win a situation, a mere magistrate is no problem.

Therefore, Tao Lang immediately agreed: "It is absolutely no problem for us to set up an additional magistrate in Dengzhou Prefecture. As long as Liu experiences winning in Liaodong Banner, not to mention a magistrate, even a magistrate will have a chance!"

Liu Peng immediately said, "I only ask for a magistrate! I hope the adults will fulfill their wishes."

Even if he falsely reported his actual age, he was still the youngest magistrate in the world. Even those officials who were from Jinshi were still studying hard at his age and had no chance to become an official.

Tao Lang couldn't help but think about this: "This is a bit difficult to deal with whether there is a chicken or an egg first, but I can guarantee Liu's experience that as long as the flag wins, your position as a magistrate will never be able to escape!"

"The Ministry of Personnel does not agree, Tao will go to the cabinet and make trouble to the end. If you have any trouble in Guanglu Island, you can rest assured that they will be in trouble in Liaodong. Why don't we Denglai help them with the aftermath?"

"Anyway, before the war in Liaodong was reported, Guanglu Island was our territory in Denglai!"

Tao Langxian continued: "What else does Liu experience need?"

Liu Peng laughed: "Tao Daotai, why do you think it is better to start the campaign? Or I would like to ask someone, Xiong goes to Yuan Dai, do you think this big thing can be accomplished?"

Tao Lang was first from Xiushui County, Zhejiang Province, and belonged to the periphery of the Donglin Party. He was strictly not a faction with Yuan Yingtai, a Shaanxi native. Moreover, Yuan Yingtai took office and made full use of Xiong Tingbi's old laws, so he was not optimistic about Yuan Yingtai: "When Xiong went to Yuan Dynasty, the court naturally had some mistakes. Liu Xue means that now is not the time to send troops to aid Liao?"

"Yes!" Liu Peng said straightforwardly: "Isn't it all Yuan Jingluo's contribution to the Liao Dynasty now? Moreover, Yuan Jingluo is a good official."

The word "Good Official" has countless ways to interpret it, but Tao Langxian understood it immediately: "Well, even if the aid to Liao is successful now, the great achievements of our path will naturally fly away. Besides, who knows where Yuan Jingluo will throw our aid to Liao army? Wait for a moment, and if we have firmly gained a foothold in Guanglu Island, we can gain an invincible foothold!"

He is not worried about defeat, but who is the current Liaodong governor, Yuan Yingtai, and Tao Langxian is the director of Shandong shipping. He knows the most about this and is very clear that Yuan Yingtai may not fail, but most of the time will not be able to succeed.

If the Liao army can use Guangkashima as its base, it will naturally advance, attack, retreat or defend, and retreat to Guangkashima at any time. Therefore, he immediately asked another question: "How many troops can Guangkashima station?"

"If there are enough rice beans, three to five thousand people will definitely not be a problem!" Liu Peng asked another question: "Daotai, I still have to say that you have to choose a suitable time. It is best if you have to move forward again and again!"

"Yes, yes!" Tao Langxian felt that Liu Peng was right: "You must choose a good time."

Although he was both criticized in Shandong and Denglai, it was a wonderful achievement to host Shandong shipping to complete the 850,000 shi of sea transportation. Therefore, both the cabinet, the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of War attach great importance to him, Dengzhou coastal defense road. According to the meaning of the same year in Beijing, he is likely to have a chance to move.

If he moves, he will definitely not be an ordinary Taoist priest. Even if he fails, he will also be a censor and governor. The example of a capable official among the Taoist ministers of this dynasty is not okay.

However, the issue of Haiyouhui's arrears of money and food in Beijing has cast a shadow on his future. However, if he makes great contributions in Liaodong, his promotion and wealth will naturally be done with the flow.

He told Liu Peng: "Now prepare well now. There will be no problem with Guanglu Island. I will help you with it. Then we will succeed and make a huge fortune."

After receiving Tao Langxian's promise, Liu Peng began to prepare for the next part, but his deployment was a disaster for Zhao's experience in Gaizhou.

He didn't expect that these Shandong people would change their minds again: "What's going on with you? Why did you change your mind again? You only plan to send out 10,000 shi of rice and beans every month, and then ask us to accept them at 50,000 shi. This gap is too big!"

The amount of Denglaimi beans transported 600,000 shi, and the average is 50,000 shi per month. However, in the 48th year of Wanli, 850,000 shi, it was transported. According to Zhao's experience, it is estimated that at least one million shi can be transported this year. Unexpectedly, these Dengzhou people turned against each other, saying that they could only transport 20,000 shi per month after the Chinese New Year, and it will last for a long time.

This cannot make Zhao Jue angry, but Lei Chuyang, opposite him, said with a smile: "This is not that our Liu Jue suddenly cannot turn around, so please bear with me. Don't worry, the rebate that you should give will not be less than a cent, but it is still calculated at 50,000 shi. And aren't we sharing your worries? Look at how many rice beans have been stockpiled in Gaizhou now, and it is impossible to transport them to the front line."

This is indeed the truth. Although Shandong has used all the strength of the ox and tigers to transport 850,000 stones of rice beans to Gaizhou, there are now a large amount of rice beans accumulated on the rice beans and they are transported to the front line in time.

According to Lei Chuyang's preliminary understanding, the rice beans accumulated in Gaizhou were at least 100,000 to 200,000 shi, and it was still increasing, so Liu Peng asked Lei Chuyang to come to help Gaizhou reduce the burden.
