Chapter 266: Bonus, Lai Party, Ignore Military Discussion

The salary of the Ming Dynasty has always been known for its meagerity. Of course, officials in high positions also had their own ways to make money. The emperor also knew this and turned a blind eye to the methods of the officials below. How long does this salary last for a more symbolic meaning than its practical significance.

However, the so-called literary character is that everyone cares about the face. The salary penalty is equivalent to snatching the face in person, which is extremely disgraceful. If a civil servant under the fourth rank is punished with a salary penalty, then if there is promotion and appointment in the future, the superiors will take the salary penalty out as the basis for evaluation.

Shandong Governor Yan Jizu was born in the Ministry of Personnel and a great figure among the world's scholars. This punishment really ruined his reputation. Even if he didn't take it seriously, he would have to keep his door closed for a few days to express his shame and sadness.

But it was completely different in Dezhou City. In early March, the imperial decree came down. Shandong Governor Yan Jizu and military eunuch Liu Yuanbin respectfully sent away the Tiqi and the imperial envoy with fear and fear. As soon as the imperial envoy left Dezhou City, the ecstatic Yan Jizu's family bought firecrackers and set off in the city. It was extremely lively. The eunuch Liu Yuanbin opened two porridge sheds outside the city. In name, the magistrate of Dezhou came to pay tribute to the victims. But the eunuch's confidants said that this was Liu Yuanbin's prayer in a Taoist temple a few days ago and made several great wishes. At this time, he wanted to fulfill his wish and paid for it.

If you deduct your salary, you will be deducted. Anyway, the two of you don’t care about this little money. At this time, a group of officials have already begun to be punished. The eunuchs in the military supervisors of Ji Liao were divided into military supervisors, the governors of the Northern Zhili, and the generals of the leading generals. These top officials from both civil and military sides were deprived of their official positions and sentenced to death.

Compared with these who even lost their heads, the two of them had only a little money and still had their official positions. How could they not be ecstatic compared to these two?

All of this was brought to them by Li Meng. Li Meng beheaded nearly a thousand Tartars, and he took this credit for himself and did not give the governor and military supervisor aid. However, General Li should be said to be the General Li who is so considering his colleagues, which led to the current happy situation.

Moreover, regarding the military mobilization of the Jiaozhou camp, from beginning to end, Governor Yan Jizu and Army Supervisor Liu Yuanbin did not express any useful opinions in this victory, and even asked for help. The official documents sent to the dispatch will be responsible for the defeat, but Li Meng never made these public.

Li Meng had evidence to kill them, but they received praise and saved their official positions and duties. What does this mean? In the future, the governor and the military supervisor would not be able to look up in front of Li Meng. As for high-ranking officials like the governor, they were originally lower than Li Meng and had no jurisdiction.

In fact, on the night after the imperial court issued the order, Governor Yan Jizu and Army Eunuch Liu Yuanbin invited General Li Meng to his private house by discussing important matters and expressed his gratitude solemnly.

Although the new Shandong general Li Meng treated the governor and the military eunuch with a smile, he actually despised the two of them very much. He thought that if it weren't for the title of general and for the convenience of his future work in Shandong, wouldn't you, Yan Jizu, put forward in the memorial that "must settle the internal affairs first," and now you almost cost you your life is this "outside". I don't know if you think about the memorial you mentioned at the beginning will blush.

In the time and space that Li Meng did not travel through time, Shandong Governor Yan Jizu was abducted by the Qing army because of the fall of Jinan. He was sentenced to death by Yang Sichang, a scholar in the cabinet of the Ministry of War, and was taken to the capital by the Jinyiwei to behead him. Although he had argued that he was the order of Yang Sichang, the Minister of War, under the slightest effect, and he had to be killed in resentment.

For this time and space, this incident has never happened at all, and Li Meng did not know so much about this history. He did not feel that he had any kindness to Yan Jizu, and he was only ridiculed in his heart.

In late March, military information and notices from Ji Liao area reached Shandong. The Qing army entering the border drove a large number of livestock and drove away from the pass. There was no sign of returning. The civil and military officials in Beizhili and Shandong finally breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the world would finally be peaceful for a while.

Instead of returning to Jiaozhou City, Li Meng led a large army to move to the nearby Jinan City. Jinan City, which was captured by the Qing army, was now an empty city, with only a few thousand people staying in the city. Dorgon inferred that a large number of Ming troops heading north in the south, so he did not care about setting fires and massacres in Jinan City before leaving, and just drove people away.

Jinan City was defeated that day because the defenders in the city did not have much power. The Qing army neither besieged nor attacked the city with heavy weapons. The entire city was still quite complete and had not been damaged.

Even the civilian houses, official residences, and the palaces of the relatives in the city were well preserved. In addition to the looting of gold, silver and wealth, there were many rooms that could even be directly occupied.

On the day the general was appointed, Li Meng began to dispatch personnel to the city to investigate and guard, and arranged a large number of civilian laborers to relocate and clean up the bodies and ruins in various parts of the city. At the same time, he began to measure the fields outside Jinan City and various industries inside and outside the city.

As soon as the Qing army left, there were quite a few characters who wanted to take advantage of the situation. They wanted to make some profits in this empty city. There were also some rascals and scattered officials who wanted to get good fortune from the only old people and weak people in the city. However, after the arrival of the Jiaozhou camp, the old ways were still the same.

Almost one of the city walls was covered with heads, and there were several fires outside the city that had not been extinguished. It was impossible for all those who committed the crime to even preserve their bodies.

The Jinan prefect died and the new prefect had not yet taken office. The officials who came to maintain the situation were informed and tactfully. Under the hinting of the governor and under the instructions of the general, they completed the transfer procedures for nearly one million mu of unowned land between Jinan Prefecture and Dezhou. The new Shandong general Li Meng would never do such a good-for-nothing thing to take advantage of, and insisted on paying money. He said with a righteous saying that this money should be used to pay the family of the generals who fought and died with the Tartars.

The Jiaozhou Camp spent 2,350 taels of silver in the newly built military farm in Jinan Prefecture, equivalent to less than one cent per mu of land. Moreover, the 3,500 taels were also used as a expense to support the soldiers who died in the Jiaozhou Camp.

Since Chongzhen ascended the throne, there have been major disasters every year, and the twelve years of Chongzhen were no exception. In early March, farmers and farms outside the military farm began to lose a lot due to severe drought. Years of disasters have begun to affect medium-sized landlords. The storage of these landlords was gradually consumed during the disaster year, and then went bankrupt. The land was bought by larger landlords and turned into refugees. They were taken in by Li Meng's military farm.

There are also some visionary people and some connections with private salt business. These people have developed this way of thinking over the years. Anything that Jiaozhouying does must be without mistakes. Following or obeying will only make sense, and it will definitely be profitable.

Since Jiaozhouying has been busy farming in various places, these landlords have taken the initiative to cooperate with the military farms. They only grasp the ownership of the land. The manpower and animal power they used to farm farms are all handed over to the military farms for distribution. The share of the production in the fields can even be a few cents less.

In such a disaster year, it is already a great blessing to have to be a few cents but still produce. The farmlands occupy a huge area, with a large number of people, and huge labor available for use. The development of water conservancy and irrigation is much better than those of the landlords who are single-family.

These landlords actually benefited from the military farming policy of Jiaozhouying, but their dependence with the Jiaozhouying system became increasingly tight. These landlords are called "mixing farming partners" in the Jiaozhouying system. Jiaozhouying earns very little in operating the land of these people, and they are not even profitable in some areas.

However, Zhou Yang, the magistrate of Jiaozhou, had his own opinion on this matter. After discussing with Sun Hedou, he gave Li Meng and the others opinions. After Li Meng saw it, he happily accepted it.

All the civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty, all the officials of all sizes, were from the landlord class. The so-called poor people are very few. Only those with land can have a relatively good living environment. Only in such a living environment can they have the intention and initiative to learn various knowledge.

In other words, the so-called foundation and reserve team of the ruling class were both born in this class, but in the current situation, military generals are controlled by generations of military households or noble children, while most civil officials come from Donglin scholars, and the way to become officials is already very narrow. Just like Zhou Yang did not think about further scientific examinations after passing the imperial examination, but lived in Jiaozhou, which means he clearly knew that he would not have any opportunities to make progress. Since the Jiaozhou Camp was founded, it has been facing a shortage of talents, and the two sides have this complementary relationship.

The stronger the dependence relationship between the so-called "military farming partners" and the landlords, the more likely their children will be to serve this group.

In fact, this was indeed done. When Li Meng was still in Yidushi, he asked the children of the powerful tribes around him to provide their own clothes, armor, money and grain to serve in Jiaozhou Camp. He was really complaining at that time, and there were some small conflicts in the local area.

Nowadays, each household is not afraid of being drawn, but is afraid of not being drawn. The Jiaozhou Camp now has become increasingly strict in the assessment of these powerful children. However, Li Meng is divided into four prefectures to guard the generals of the generals. At present, the position of Shandong generals, there are many Dusi and garrisons, Qianzong, and the generals, and the generals can give out the positions of the generals. It is not impossible to go up even if it is guerrillas and generals.

There are many official positions, and anyone with a discerning eye can see what the huge village guard team in the Tuntian Village is doing. Jiaozhou Camp has only set up a few points in Shandong, and there are still many places in large prefectures, counties and cities. This means that Li Meng still has a large number of military officials who are actually missing.

As long as he can enter this system, he may become a general who leads the troops. Li Meng has more than 10,000 people, ten battalions, each with one thousand general. There are several military generals in this ten thousand general. These twenty senior officers cannot be used as the top.

The best one is just the sons and nephews of the thousand households of Lingshan and Aoshan Guards. After seeing this, it is difficult for the powerful military children in the local area to practice martial arts and join the army to do this. Why can't I think? Besides, there are so many gaps. There are examples of a powerful child who took hostages, auxiliary soldiers, combat soldiers, and military generals all the way here, and all their thoughts are hot.

The aides of the Jiaozhou Tongzhi Zhou Yang and the Salt Administration Department stationed in the Jiaozhou Inspection Office. These two places are places that scholars who have no chance of progress are yearning for. There are children, scholars and even juren there, to assist the Jiaozhou Tongzhi Zhou Yang in handling civil affairs in various places and to assist the Ning Shiye of the Inspection Office in the economic and financial affairs.

Many literati are poor and rich in martial arts. During the disasters over the years, even the capital to support their families has disappeared. Originally, there was no other way except starving to death or escaping famine. In the past, they could teach private schools, but now even small and medium-sized landlords have gone bankrupt, so how can they have children for your education?

Jiaozhou Camp provided these places. The staff group of Jiaozhou Tongzhi Zhou Yang, who was a small Tongzhi, had a management scope of affairs that could be managed even exceeded the scope of the jurisdiction of the two governments. The Salt Administration Department stationed in the Jiaozhou Inspection Office to manage the financial and economic affairs, even more than the province in Shandong.

Shandong scholars have always jokingly called these two places. Zhou Yang, the magistrate of Jiaozhou, is called Jiaozhou Road, and the inspection yamen is called the small office. It can be seen that it is huge in scale. With such a large scale, there are naturally many job opportunities. If a literati has this job, he will have the income to support his family.

Moreover, in late March, scholars in Shandong were even more eager, because Jinan Prefecture, Changqing County, Qihe County, Zhangqiu County, Jiyang County, Pingyuan County, Yucheng County, Linyi County, Ling County, and Qingping County and Gaotang Prefecture in Dongchang Prefecture were all defeated by the Tartars. The deaths of a large number of officials at all levels needed the supplement of many scholars.

There were a few scholars who worked for the Jiaozhou Camp and wanted to change jobs and see if they could get a job or not. But at the end of the matter, those who did not skip were glad that they had made the right decision. The eighth-rank and ninth-rank officials in each prefecture, prefecture and county were all vacancies, all of whom were in the Jiaozhou Camp and were proven to be loyal and capable. General Li was not evaded from relatives, Governor Yan and the new governor were doing good. These literati, who were not successful and even starved to death a few months ago and a few years ago, were transformed into formal officials.

However, these scholars naturally knew how their power, fame and fortune came from, and also knew what they would do in the future to preserve these things. Therefore, these scholars will remain obedient and loyal, regardless of whether they are grateful to Jiaozhouying or not.

At the very least, the military farms, private salt business, Lingshan business, and the garrisons in Jiaozhouying are all distributed in various places in Shandong, and they have close ties with them in the local area. If the orders of the yamen are implemented smoothly, it is necessary to maintain a respectful and obedient attitude towards Jiaozhouying.

After replacing several small officials who thought they could do their own things in Jiaozhou Camp, everyone understood more clearly what to do.

Of course, larger people also act as documentary accounts and teaching in public schools in the military farms, and earn a share of money and grain to support their families. (Public schools, one of the rare welfare policies for military farms in Jiaozhou Ying military farms for military farms. All military farmers can send their children to read and read, and one percent of the annual harvest is given to public schools.)

There are many such phenomena, and people at that time have laughter and notes, such as Laizhou Prefecture having jokes.

"The two of them discussed, and who is the biggest in Shandong now? One person said: First, it is General Li, second, it is Governor Yan, third, it is the governor, and the other person interrupted: Otherwise, otherwise, this third largest is a Tongzhi..."

"The two met and asked one of them what happened, saying they were going to meet the Minister of Revenue Ning. The other was surprised that there was a minister in one state city. Moreover, the Minister of the Minister of Revenue in the present Ministry of Revenue, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue in the North and South did not call this surname. Another said: Ninggangui in Jiaozhou has several provinces of money and grain, so how can he not be called the Minister of Revenue..."

There was also a fellow Jinshi from Jiangxi who came out of the center and went to Shandong to become an official. The subsequent notes read:

"It is quite difficult for outsiders to be an official in Lu. Under the seventh rank, all the parties are filled with Lai. The government handles all the big and small matters, and outsiders are not allowed to interfere..."

The Lai Party mentioned in the notes was a party formed by these literati who were attached to the Jiaozhou Camp system and studied political affairs in the Tongzhi of Jiaozhou and the Salt Administration Inspection Office.

It is necessary for literati to praise each other for the party and to criticize each other. Zhou Yang, a juren from Jiaozhou, was originally just a middle-aged man with some ideas, but now he is praised as a talent for the world. Na Ning Gangui is just a division master and a great sage in the wild. As for Shandong general Li Meng, he is naturally a rare figure in the sky and earth. No matter how praising it is, it is not an exaggeration.

The landlords and families support their children to study and learn martial arts for the sake of their children to have a background and to honor their ancestors. However, in this year, even their family business was almost impossible to save. What else can they talk about? And with Jiaozhou Camp, not only can their family business be saved, but they can also give their children a way out. When the Tartars invaded, the only army that could win was the only army of Jiaozhou Camp.

Provide shelter, give children a way out, and have a common family property. If such powers do not depend on or actively integrate into them, it means that they are not clear about it.

The local landlords and gentry clans have obtained everything that the government cannot give to them at present in Jiaozhou Camp, and the Jiaozhou Camp has obtained the effectiveness of talents who are well-versed in certain civil and military knowledge from these local figures, and has gained more effective and in-depth control and influence on the local area, and the two sides benefited each other.

As for all this, the refugees who went bankrupt due to disasters, wars, and exploitation by the government. They worked hard to farm on the land that might have belonged to them, but they could only get money, food and food that only made a living, and were also sacked to carry out various labor and military service at any time.

However, they also gained the opportunity to continue to survive in this military farm. In this era, it is a blessing to survive. Moreover, in military farms, their children have the opportunity to receive education and can also achieve fame and success through personal struggle.

In some sense, the Qing army's entry into Shandong was to clear some of the obstacles in Shandong for Li Meng and create a large number of unowned land, which allowed the Jiaozhou Camp's power to expand leaps and bounds.

The military farms and farms of Li Meng in the six prefectures in Shandong are completely connected. Now it is a year of great disaster. Every day, a large number of refugees enter the military farms in Jiaozhouying, willingly becoming semi-serflying farmers, so that they and their whole family can survive in the near-apocalyptic era.

Originally, after the military farming, 10,000 soldiers in Jiaozhou camp obtained nearly three years of grain storage, and the migrant farmers also had a year of reserves. However, after the new refugees entered the military farm, the migrant farmers' grain storage became half a year, and the migrant farmers' storage became four months.

Originally, the trade for private salt exchange for grain had stopped, but in April of the 12th year of Chongzhen, it started again at various ports in Shandong. Fortunately, several merchant ships of Li Meng were already running with the Zheng family's fleet. A large sum of gold and silver, plus a certain amount of private salt, finally it was not necessary to supplement the company's assets.

Such a large amount of grain transactions even allowed several wealthy merchants in Jiangnan to start grain business. For example, in the Liu family in Songjiang Prefecture, there were originally two large weaving yards for cotton weaving, which were always familiar with the Zheng family. Because the Zheng family kept purchasing grain here, the profit was huge, so they simply stopped the weaving yard and began to concentrate on the grain business.

For Jiaozhou Camp, Jinan City, which was almost half empty, was equivalent to a pie falling from the sky. Jinan City is the center of Shandong and the most majestic city and fortress in Shandong. According to the rules, Shandong General Li Meng is responsible for the defense of the Shandong capital.

Originally, outsiders thought that the foundation of Jiaozhou Camp was in Laizhou Prefecture and did not pay much attention to Jinan Prefecture. Who would have thought that Jiaozhou Camp immediately mobilized labor and began to undergo major renovations in Jinan City. At present, the prefectures and counties around Jinan are all in ruins, and the only source of population is the refugees who have newly joined the military farm, and no one wants to move in.

Therefore, Jiaozhou Camp turned some areas in Jinan into workshops, military camps, and transit warehouses needed by Jiaozhou Camp. What is left is the houses for the residents to live in, and there are only some sensitive areas, such as the yamen at all levels and the residences of the nobles of the relatives and nobles at all levels.

By around June, Jinan City was already thick and looked like a military fortress...

When Li Meng was doing such a big fanfare in Shandong, Shandong Governor Yan Jizu naturally would not say much. The eunuch of the military supervisor Liu Yuanbin saw that it was profitable. He also handed over the land he used to collect rent to the military farm in Jiaozhou for management. He had a close interest relationship, so he naturally would not say much.

But these changes, either slowly or quickly, were suppressed in the capital. Yang Sichang, a bachelor of the cabinet and minister of the Ministry of War, did not want these news to be known in the capital. During the day, when assessing the merits and demerits of Shandong civil and military officials, Yang Sichang was taken care of by many powerful people, including heavyweight departments such as the Silijian, the Imperial Horse Supervision, the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Personnel. In addition, Yan Jizu and Liu Yuanbin were indeed successful in this matter, and strictly investigated, the matter of mobilizing Shandong troops to station in Dezhou during the day was also involved.

So he pinched his nose and said righteousness in front of Emperor Chongzhen, protecting the heroes, Yan Jizu and Liu Yuanbin had nothing to do, and Li Meng was promoted to general, and both sides seemed to be in harmony on the surface.

But Yang Sichang knew that if he continued to pursue the matter, he would not be able to escape the responsibility of losing his relatives. The eunuchs were unexpectedly determined. If Liu Yuanbin was pursued, then everyone would break up and sue.

Since Emperor Chongzhen’s credit, Yang Sichang, the Minister of War, has always been a perfect position in the court. This time, he has suffered such a big loss and has a vague handle in the other party’s hands. He does not want anyone to mention anything about Shandong, just to think that everything is stable and normal, and he does not want to give anyone to anyone because Shandong thinks about Dezhou, the dispatch of troops to garrison that day, and the loss of the relatives.

In such a situation, although some people have been rumored about Li Meng, the local officials in Shandong are "knowing the truth and knowing the general principles". Secondly, the news has been suppressed by Yang Sichang. The current situation in Shandong is that as long as you do it, as long as you don't rebel or have a big chaos, the upper ones will ignore it.

Although the Ming Dynasty's Jiangnan sea merchants were doing well, there was no big deal except for the Japanese pirates. The Han people valued land but not sea. The land of Shandong was treated as a remote area, and Shandong was also located between the two north and south Zhili. Such inconspicuous places were not very noticeable.

You can see from the settings of the commanders that before the end of the Apocalypse, the highest military officer in Shandong was just a general, and the general officer was the latest in the province of the same size.

Shandong is not a place of wealth, but can provide financial and tax revenue, and secondly, it is not a place where military strategists must fight for. It is just a corridor between the two capitals of the north and the south. Thirdly, it is a major chaos and minor disasters. Since the rebellion of Chengzu, Tang Sai'er, White Lotus Sect and Maitreya have been making trouble, but no matter how troubles are, it has never exceeded the scope of two or three prefectures and counties, and it was soon pacified by the soldiers of Shandong.

No one pays attention to this kind of place that is not rich, not dangerous, or even never causes great disasters. If you ignore it, it will be ignored. What's more, what Li Meng did never exceed the scope of Shandong Province, and he really ignored what he did.

Although Li Meng, the commander of Jiaozhou Camp, won the title of general, he did not upgrade the military generals below like other times. There was no big rebound in this matter. The generals and officials of Jiaozhou Camp who were usually quite proud were all shocked by the encounter with the Qing cavalry.

Although such a battle seemed to be a great victory to outsiders, Li Meng convened several consecutive military conventions in Jinan to participate in the military convention, and two more times even the elite troops and the deputy team members had to participate in the military convention. What the group of people gathered together was repetition, which did not seem to be of much significance.

Li Meng, Wang Hai and Chen Liu recalled and told the story of the battle that day. From the marching to the encounter with the enemy, every detail of the battle was shared with everyone in detail from beginning to end. What military generals at all levels had to do was what if he was the leader at that time.

Although criticism and self-criticism are old-fashioned, in modern times, when Li Meng was a non-commissioned officer, he felt quite bored by this approach and felt that it was going against the situation and had no effect.

But after life and death, the rest of the people were afraid that they would lack the necessary experience when experiencing life and death. Although the backbone officers and soldiers who were commanded by Jiaozhou Camp did not have a high level of education, they were very frank and sincere, and did not care about the noble and low, and expressed their own experiences and their thoughts.

This was in early April, and it was carried out in Jinan City. At that time, the empty Jinan City seemed like a large military camp. Everyone combined their ideas and examined their own right and wrong, so that Li Meng, who talked with everyone every day and participated, felt that he benefited a lot.

We benefited a lot. This is the idea of ​​each general and officer who participated in this military discussion. The exchange of ideas between each other. The general and school officers who grew up from ordinary children of military households. Although there are old military officers like Zhang Lin and Ma Yuxing who teach combat experiences, and mercenaries like Denggras who teach combat skills, in the final analysis, all the officers of Jiaozhou camp learn from the military experiences taught by Li Meng. Most of the military experiences of Li Meng are from the modern times that they learned from the time they were from soldiers to non-commissioned officers in the People's Liberation Army in modern times, and the combination of military knowledge of this era he learned.

It cannot be denied that modern people from the era of information explosion do have their own advantages in understanding and integrating different knowledge, but that's all. Every era has its own characteristics. Li Meng was just a grassroots PLA officer in modern times. In peacetime, his knowledge and knowledge were limited, so the things he taught to the officers of Jiaozhou camp were also limited.

When every officer in Jiaozhou Camp led his troops, Li Meng's teaching was fundamental, but he often added a lot of expansion and extension with his own understanding. This exchange was the process of mutual teaching and mutual learning. Although everyone had various shortcomings, everyone's knowledge had made great progress and improvement after exchange and discussion.

In addition to the time when everyone is talking, Li Meng also has another approach, that is, to ask scholars who are familiar with military books to read "Ji Xiao New Book", "Strange Soldier Training", "Sun Tzu's Art of War" and other professional and theoretical military books and strategies late at night, and then he would either read the text according to the script or combine the actual situation of the Jiaozhou Camp to tell the contents to the officers participating in the military discussion.

Everyone has no shortage of practical experience. With such theoretical things, Li Meng’s narration is relatively simple and easy to understand, and many unclear ideas are immediately enlightened.

It is not difficult to station more than 10,000 troops in the empty Jinan City. The officers of Jiaozhou Camp have been conducting this kind of continuous learning and improvement in Jinan City for almost twenty days from early April to the end of April. Moreover, if you have any experience, you often set up military horse drills outside the city, which will be tested in actual combat and have a deeper impression.

Originally, Li Meng also went to Dongchang Prefecture and Yanzhou Prefecture to invite the guards of other factions guarding one county and one state, including Qian Zong, to let these officers who participated in traditional battles of this era talk about how they fought. Who would have thought that after the invitation was quite disappointing.

Needless to say, these officers were trembling, and apart from the fact that they were talking about, they were also a little particular about marching and camping every day, the rest were just leading the servants who dared to fight to fight to the death. There might be generals and generals who were well-versed in the Jiubian and Huguang, but such people were not invited by Jiaozhou Camp.

The officers of the Jiaozhou camp who participated in this military discussion were all absorbing military knowledge hungrily. There were only two people a little special. One was Zhang Chengye from Dongchang Prefecture. Zhang Chengye, a bandit from Nanshan, made great contributions to protecting the Dongchang prefect and his wife in time. Li Meng also owe him favors. This time, he did not call him, but Zhang Nanshan was begging for nothing and insisted on coming, so he had to let him go. The other was Deng Glas, a foreigner from Deng. He was determined to return to Jiaozhou to live a peaceful and prosperous life, but was escorted by Li Meng's personal soldiers and had to attend classes.

During these twenty days, Li Meng did not react until the third day, and called the trusted literati in the Jiaozhou Camp system to organize the daily narrative and discussion into a volume. This is the "Jinan Military Minutes Booklet".
Chapter completed!
