Li Xiao's messenger has not returned yet, but Ao Ye's messenger has come back first. As for Ao Canghai's idea of ​​going to Liaodong, Li Xiao thinks it is better than letting him go back to Shandong. The defender of Juyong Pass will not let him go, and he cannot really attack Juyong Pass.

Having the intention to rebel and actually rebelling are two different things. The latter requires more thorough planning and preparation!

The Tatars actually got together with Zhang Xianzhong, which made Li Xiao scratch his head. Historically, the two groups seemed to be enemies, but now they are shamelessly entangled. Zhang Xianzhong has a quantitative advantage, and Huang Taiji has a qualitative advantage. Li Xiao doesn't think so.

, Juyong Pass or Zijing Pass, which are like soft-skinned eggs, will become their obstacles.

Li Xiao was not too surprised by Hong Chengchou's defection in battle. After all, this guy was a capitulator in his previous life, and now he has just surrendered a little earlier. The only difference is that in his previous life, he consumed all the Ming Dynasty elites. In this life, he just brought

His subordinates Zuo Liangyu and He Huchen did not bury all the elites of the Ming Dynasty in Liaodong.

Thinking of Hong Chengchou, Li Xiao also thought of another person, Lu Xiangsheng.

This guy has been very diligent since he arrived at the Shandong Government Office. Moreover, this guy is stubborn and sticks to the Ming Law in everything. As long as it conforms to the Ming Law, he will not care about it. As long as someone violates the Ming Law, you

Even if he is the emperor's own son, it is useless. According to his behavior pattern, Li Xiao reminds him of a person - Bao Zheng!

With the help of this Ming dynasty, the public security situation in Jinan has improved unprecedentedly. Ever since Lu Xiangsheng came to Jinan, those government officials who had nothing to do and liked to bully male tyrants and female yamen felt miserable.

Several people were imprisoned under Lu Baogong's severe punishment. It is said that the family spent a lot of money and ran into trouble. Even the big bosses in the capital could not do anything. The petty officials in the Yamen did not dare to do what they did before.

Openly accepting bribes. The head of the last guy who accepted a red envelope is still hanging on the city wall waiting to dry.

Mr. Lu's severe crackdown was very effective. In Jinan City, which had been cleaned up by Li Xiao, the gangsters, big and small, had almost disappeared, and now Mr. Lu came again. If there were dandies in the family, they sent the young master to the countryside early. Anyway, the sky is high.

The emperor is far away, and no matter how powerful Lu Baogong is, he cannot control the entire Shandong with one hand.

Li Xiao likes this dogmatist very much. People these days are too smooth in doing things. On the contrary, there are fewer people who act according to the rules! All kinds of private and unwritten rules are rampant. Even the old man in the mailroom at the door of the government office said, "It's okay."

Everyone is thinking about getting some benefits from corruption. Getting someone like Lu Xiangsheng to be the top judicial officer in Shandong is really a manifestation of His Majesty's wisdom and prowess.

Sun Chengzong also likes this uncooperative Lu Xiangsheng, which is specifically reflected in the fact that he never deducts Lu Xiangsheng's case handling funds. From time to time, he also gives some rewards for solving cases. The rigid Lu Xiangsheng is also polite and considerate when meeting the old fox.

Various factories along the edge of Jinan City have provided employment and farmers have had enough to eat after planting potatoes and corn. Compared with the bad situation of the Ming Dynasty, Shandong had a bumper harvest and the floods were driven away. The scenery here

Excellent.

Newspapers from the imperial court came one after another, and Li Xiao shook his head helplessly again and again. God really likes to joke, why are you in such a hurry? If you give yourself another two years, Shandong will be governed very well. But imperialism will destroy me.

If you don't want to die, Huang Taiji, a bastard, is really fucking capable. Now I regret that I believed him and let him go. But think about it, if there was no Huang Taiji, Dorgon would probably be even more capable of tossing people around.

Wang Tiqian came, bringing not an imperial edict but the oral edict of Emperor Chongzhen.

Zhu Youjian is really at his wits end. He has been planning for so many years, and he has only been on the throne for a few years, but the situation in the country has become like this. Nurhachi is no longer making trouble outside, but his sons are better than him. Noisy. Now they are getting involved with the rioters in the northwest again. This time they are not causing trouble in the northeast, but directly at the west gate of the capital.

What about the ministers in the imperial court? Most of them are the Donglin Party headed by Qian Qianyi. This group of people is very aggressive. They will impeach this one today and attack that one tomorrow. Some of them are so bold that even the emperor dares to scold him. Speaking of domineering , Zhu Youjian felt that they were more domineering than Wei Zhongxian. Although Wei Zhongxian was domineering, he would not attack the emperor. Now these bastards of the Donglin Party, not to mention the emperor, even the Jade Emperor would like to curse a few words.

He didn't want to ask Li Xiao for help, but he had to ask Li Xiao for help. There was no way, the roots of the three major battalions in the capital were rotten. No matter what he tried, the mud couldn't cover the wall. It was even more difficult to count on the soldiers in Jiangnan. In reality, these soldiers are not from the imperial court. Fundamentally, they are not, they belong to the Donglin Party. Without Qian Qianyi's approval, Zhu Youjian cannot even transfer a single soldier to the capital. Now he can only count on Li Xiao!

"My brother, the current situation in the capital is as dangerous as a fortress. Tongguan has only been defended for one day. Only God knows how long Juyongguan and Zijingguan can be defended. Brother Xiao, you have to send troops no matter what. Otherwise... long live otherwise. Just...!" The young Wang Tiqian pulled Li Xiao's sleeve and burst into tears. He was really worried about Zhu Youjian!

"You have also seen that Mr. Ao went to Mongolia to cut off the Tatars' retreat. They are probably fighting fiercely at this moment. Yuan Chonghuan is at the Daling River and is fighting with the Xianglan Banner. My third division has just been formed. Look, the queues haven't even been organized yet. When these soldiers go out to fight, they are just delivering food to the Tatars." Li Xiao pointed out the window, and there was nothing the soldiers who were training on the playground could do. Cao Wenzhao's third The division had only been established for half a year, and the training of officers had just been completed, and only then were all the troops recruited.

"Brother Xiao, you can't just die without saving me! Old slave! I kneel down for you!" Wang Tigan said, and was about to kneel down to Li Xiao.

"This can't be done!" Li Xiao hurriedly picked up Wang Tiqian. "My lord, don't worry. Long live your kindness to me. No matter what, I have to send troops to support the capital."

"really?"

"Is this kind of thing a joke? You go back and report to Long Live first. I, Li Xiao, will repay you with the kindness of Long Live. But I don't have enough money and food in Shandong, can I...!"

The king's body is dry and his mouth is dry, and it's the same old thing again. He won't move if he doesn't pay, but this is better than the Nanjing Forbidden Army, which won't move even if he gives money!

"Long live the order, as soon as the team arrives in the capital, one hundred thousand taels of silver will be distributed immediately. Brother Xiao, this is all the money that Long live took out of the internal funds." Wang Tigan specifically told Li Xiao that this was the emperor's private money.

"No problem. Prince, please go back to the post house first. I have to discuss with Mr. Sun how to raise troops."

"I'm not tired, old slave. Hurry up. We really need reinforcements there."

"I know! That Shunzi, please send the prince out. Instruct him to go down and wait on you!"

"No! Eunuch Wang, please come this way."

Shunzi invited Wang Tiqian out, and Li Xiao walked to the edge of the chair and sat down. "I have the money, one hundred thousand taels. I will give it to the soldiers when they arrive in the capital!"

"Haha! You, Li Xiao, a money man, have already made a name for yourself in the capital. Long live I know that you will never move around if you don't have money." Sun Chengzong took a puff of his cigarette and flicked the ash into the ashtray.

"If you don't want to move your nest, do we have soldiers now? Just the ones outside? It took me a lot of effort to build this air. I can't send them to the capital to die without training."

"If you put your heart in your belly, you will not only have soldiers, but an army of more than 9,000 people."

"You transferred Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming back?" Li Xiao's eyes widened. Now the only ones who are well-trained and capable in Shandong are Geng Zhongming and Kong Youde. But these two guys were suppressing bandits in Yimeng Mountain, and Li Xiaoming ordered them to be without them. The orders cannot be changed at will.

"The suppression of bandits in Yimeng Mountain is at a critical moment, what should I do with them?"

"Then where did you get the nine thousand troops?"
