Beiyang new warlord

"The old man was young, and he was once young and energetic. As long as you are sensible, this old man who disobeyed orders on the battlefield will forget the past. We should repay the merits and rewards, and you should also receive the reward, General Mao."

"Does he have military exploits?"

Before he finished speaking, Mao Jue looked surprised, pointing to the surroundings and asking.

If before noon yesterday, Mao Jue was really afraid of him, and the officials and the local gentry colluded together, venting their breath from one nostril and speaking in unison, maybe Mao Jue, who worked hard on the expedition, would have nothing to do with this battle, even if Qi Jiguang was still alive. It's hard to argue, the officialdom of Ming Dynasty is so dark.

But yesterday, Mao Jue got a handle on a whole ledger after a bluff. This is going to be handed over to Jin Yiwei, since at least half of the people present have to go in, treason!Even if there are some powerful people who are deeply connected in the officialdom and able to settle things with their hands and eyes, such as Xue Silian, but Mao Jue is even more sinister and distributes his flattering pamphlets and handprints in Jiangnan. Lin Shizi is willing to contribute to the flames. His old man has retired, but his descendants will still be officials!

This is called a rat-tosser.

Moreover, Yu Dacheng was still at his lowest official prestige at this time, and the whole Shandong rebelled. Now that his butt is smoking, God knows when Jin Yiwei will come to the door directly.

A governor who wants to be cold, and a general who is very hot, and may be asked for him next time, how to choose, these local vipers are naturally clear.

"Master Yu, when we were tortured, you hid Taiping in Jinan. Now that General Mao put down the chaos, you came to claim credit again. Are you still a scholar who reads sage books?"

"Brother Zhang said exactly that General Mao came to Fengya in person, did not avoid fire and water, fought bloody battles with bandits, and killed more than 20 Bailian bandits in a weak crown year. You don't even have a single soldier to support you. What face do you have? Compete here?"

I also blame Yu Dacheng and Taibai, he used random tricks, causing many people to be broken into the county seat, and he himself was arrested. This anger just came out all at once. Full of roars and accusations against himself, Yu Dacheng was completely dumbfounded for a moment.

As if asking for help, he turned his attention to Xue Silian, the former Shanxi chief envoy beside him. They were old friends before, and they were able to sit on the Shanxi chief envoy. Top a table.

Who knew, this old guy who was cowardly also avoided his eyes and hummed.

"When General Mao writes a battle report, the old man should sign it!"

To put it bluntly, I won't help you, so I can't help you!

"Justice is at ease!"

Looking at the straight-eyed Governor Yu Dacheng, Mao Jue sighed with emotion, and immediately lifted the plate of roast chicken from the table with his hands, hugged the chicken and fisted Yu Dacheng.

"Thank you, Governor, for your hospitality, and I will retire at the end!"

"The old man also bid farewell!"

"Let me say my goodbyes!"

Following Mao Jue who swaggered out, a group of country gentry officials couldn't sit still anymore, and went out one after another, but they were really hungry these days, and before leaving, many people took the sheep and left the food on the table in a hurry Quite a few, but like Kong Youde, he was definitely the only one who snorted and carried away a jar of rice wine with a smile.

Both calculations were in vain. Looking at the empty lobby in a blink of an eye, Governor Yu of Shandong Province was blind-eyed and sat down on the chair.

Chapter 2. The Big Migration in the Fudge

To embarrass Yu Dacheng, Mao Jue even gave him a big gift, didn't you come to the supreme commander of the front line in person? 21 taels of military expenses have been paid first! No money?That can't be helped! The soldiers asked me to pay, but I didn't recruit!All the Tieyi troops on duty in the city have withdrawn, and the 6000-odd fanatics of the White Lotus Sect, you just watch it by yourself.

Not only that, Mao Jue also kept his word. He collected the bodies of those local tyrants in an episode that day, and sorted out the battle reports in the past few days. How comfortable it is, this battle has nothing to do with him.

He, Mao Jue, is not worth much by himself, but even Yushitai cannot ignore the joint name of so many wealthy families in so many places.

Although if this memorial is submitted, it is estimated that Mao Jue's own reputation will definitely become worse. After all, the military officer openly resisted and questioned the civil official and demolished the civil official's platform. He must be labeled domineering, vulgar, etc.

But Mao Jue didn't care, anyway, Jiangnan was arranged by the Wu family and the Song family who were full and had nothing to do. Mao Jue's reputation was already bad enough, so he didn't care if it was worse.

And domineering, it is good to be uncontrollable. No supervisor likes to have one of his subordinates who is uncontrollable. Dongjiang is still in the extreme north, and the journey is thousands of miles away. Don't think about him, Mao Jue.

The only downside is that Dongjiang is estimated to be ranked behind the towns in terms of food and salary, but does Mao Jue care about the deduction of that little food and salary?

It really settled down. With the recovery of Dengzhou City, those bandits and robbers who jumped up to make trouble in the local area also began to tuck their tails, either hide in the crowd and pretend to be good people, or simply retreat back to the mountain. Dangli continued to be a bandit and water bandit.

At this time, the local ruling order of the Laizhou imperial court in Dengzhou has not yet been re-established, and the maintenance of local stability has fallen on these big clans, and it is exactly the same as in Hangzhou. After the catastrophe, the forces are reshuffled, divided land, and plunder Tenants, those local tyrants who were imprisoned in Dengzhou are unwilling to be left behind!

On July [-]th, these people were the first to say goodbye.

"Thank you, General, for your kind heart, for fighting bravely for our Shandong, and to put an end to this chaos. Don't worry, General, we will definitely speak up and follow the general!"

"Everyone is righteous, Mao will keep it in his heart, and if it is useful to Mao in the future, you can speak bluntly, as long as Mao has the strength, he will never refuse!"

"Take care of yourself!"

"Farewell!"

After hugging each other, a group of local tyrants happily went their separate ways on the road, and they didn't go on the road by themselves. They showed face at Yu Dacheng's banquet, and Mao Jue was not stingy, and helped them recruit some honest people to be their servants among the refugees. , the horses and the mules, and one person also sent 100 taels to 1000 taels of money. Although I don’t like these guys at the ends of snakes and rats, this is the reality. The power network of the Ming Dynasty is woven by them. , Liao Town belongs to Shandong, Mao Jue will need them sooner or later.

Now that he has gained the favor of the whole party, it is more or less beneficial to Mao Jue.

"These guys"

Seeing the smiling face of his family's master from a long distance, he seemed reluctant to part with him, and seeing how ugly these guys are, Kong Youde was full of disdain, and clenched his fists in the back.

"General, we have their handle, why should we give them back the money? It's about 4 taels, and the court hasn't allocated a single penny. It's all spent on your inventory, General, how worthless?"

"Brother Kong, have you seen our mill? In the mill, donkeys are used to pull the millstones. Do you keep whipping them with a whip, or hang a corncob on the top of its forehead?"

With a meaningful smile on his face, Mao Jue folded his arms and asked easily, but Kong Youde who asked was confused.

"Who has time to watch them? Of course hang a corn cob and let it run away! General, what does this have to do with accumulating sour silver?"

Don't understand this?Mao Jue really had no way to connect him with later generations who occupied Guangdong, survived the chaos of the San Francisco, Pingnan King who gave him an inscription after Kangxi died, and the Ming traitor Kong Youde. In desperation, Mao Jue simply said He waved his hand.

"Forget it, Brother Kong, that's why I can be General Tie Yi, and you can only obey my orders!"

"Okay, don't worry about it so much, go home!"

Anyway, it is not without precedent that the Liaozhen troops sneaked away halfway. In the battle of the capital in the second year of Chongzhen, Yuan Chonghuan was inexplicably arrested by Chongzhen. After running to Shanhaiguan, the battlefield that had already been fought back was pushed back by Huang Taiji, forcing Emperor Chongzhen to show his old face and ask Yuan Chonghuan to write a letter to Zu Dashou, and then Ning Jinbing was transferred back.

What's more, Mao Jue's situation is much better now, the rebellion is over, the people are killed, and Yu Dacheng, who keeps saying that he is the highest commander in Shandong, is here again, and he doesn't pay the army. I can't wait for the order from the Ministry of War to go back first, is there anything wrong?

Although he may not be able to wait for the court's military salary, Mao Jue really doesn't care about the two or thirty thousand taels of silver. The biggest ones are the ones in front of you.

Mao Wenlong sent almost all the boats that Dongjiang could mobilize to Mao Jue. Dengzhou Outer Port and several ports near Weihaiwei were almost in time for the Spring Festival travel season. The densely packed crowds began to head north on sea boats, crossing the sea to That strange yet familiar Liaodong.

Mao Jue's biggest gain from this trip is probably the 10,000+ Liao people, refugees. When he first came to the south of the Yangtze River, Fan Wenju and Zhao Tiezhu helped him immigrate back with a population of about 3. As for the development of Houjin in Liaodong, it is the population, so every time Huang Taiji enters the pass, he will loot 10,000+ or ​​even hundreds of thousands of people outside the pass, and he is also busy conquering Mongolia, adding Mongolian cavalry to the Houjin army, and restricting Dongjiang The growth is also due to the population. Originally, the population was 10, and the army was more than 4. The supply was almost at its limit, and it was extremely dependent on the supply and support in the customs. Once Yuan Chonghuan ran out of food, Mao Wenlong had to compromise.

But now with these immigrants, Mao Jue is sure to develop all the land in the north of Ping'an Road and Hamgyong Road in one go. As for Lee's North Korean protest, he doesn't care at all. Anyway, these two roads were not originally part of the During the Li Dynasty and the Yongle period, the Li Dynasty sent troops to wipe out the Jurchen tribes who surrendered to Ming Dynasty, and they were robbed. Then Emperor Yongle pretended to be forceful, and admitted it casually. Up to now, the land is sparsely populated, and the pressure will not be great.

And Mao Jue also thought of a way to deal with Li Chao.

The immigration has not been completed yet, and at least 8 to [-] people are still waiting for the ship at the port, and not everyone is willing to go to Liaodong. The Liao people have nothing to choose. Anyway, they are also refugees here. They have no land and no land. They return to Liaodong. At any rate, Mao Jue promised to farm for three years, ten mu of land per person, so it wouldn't be worse than it is now, right?

As for some Shandong locals, they still don’t want to go to Liaodong. After all, it’s a battlefield, and they left their hometowns, died in other places, far away from their ancestors’ graves. According to the tradition at this time, they wanted to be lonely ghosts.

At this time, Fan Wenju came in handy.

When Mao Jue came back, he happened to meet this old scholar fooling people at the gate of the refugee camp. A group of Shandong refugees carrying burdens wanted to leave there, and Fan Wenju, who was appointed by Mao Jue as the chief executive of the refugees, was saying goodbye.

"Thank you, Mr. Fan, for taking care of us these days. However, in our Zhaojia Village, our ancestors have lived in Shandong for generations, and the ancestral graves have been here for more than 800 years! It is really impossible to abandon the ancestral graves and go north with your lord. I hope you understand."
