Many people who have lost their rations have to live as refugees.
What’s more, they fled directly into the mountains when bandits gathered to make trouble, kill people and rob food …
At one time, Shandong counties asked the patrol government to send troops to fight bandits, and the official documents were sent to Wang Chengyi’s desk like snowflakes.
However, it is definitely a good opportunity for the people to bully themselves just now.
Wang Chengyi made a decision to send troops to prevent bandits without thinking.
However, Wang Chengyi didn’t expect that as the drought in Shandong intensified, the bandits in Shandong were suppressed more and more … and the scale of bandits became larger and larger.
When they sent troops to fight against bandits and lost two battalions in a row, they seized a large number of weapons from the loyalist. The bandits joined forces to attack some large-scale villages and towns …
Everything in the vast Shandong province was captured by these rioters, and all the food in the towns was robbed.
Losing food, the people in these places are either trapped by these mobs and become mobs, constantly strengthening their rebel strength or turning into wandering refugees …
With the increasing scale of the border rebels and refugees, their appetite is getting bigger and bigger than when they captured the county town and formed the system to destroy the government troops.
Wang Chengyi, the patrol officer, finally realized that something was wrong. At the same time, he also saw that the garrison troops and the garrison troops in Shandong Province were not as good as the rebels and bandits because of the long-term war.
However, if the Shandong patrol can’t control the increasing number of refugees and rioters in Shandong, it won’t last long for itself to be in the same position than to become a sinner in the dynasty and turn Shandong into a bandit everywhere in Shaanxi …
At this time, Wang Chengyima, the Shandong provincial governor, made a decision: retrain the army …
Only when an army with strong combat effectiveness holds itself in its own hands can Shandong truly stand firm and destroy all enemies.
To become a strong army, soldiers and money are two essential factors …
There is absolutely no problem for Shandong patrol to find enough qualified soldiers.
But the problem of money and grain, which has been bothering him since he came to Shandong to patrol, has once again become a difficult problem for Wang Chengyi to overcome …
At this moment, frowning Wang Chengyi sat in the lobby of the governor’s yamen and thought about possible solutions to the problem of money and food …
Because I have been begging for alms from the local officials, gentry and landlords for many times, I need tens of thousands of silver instead of thousands of two hundred to train the army.
It’s absolutely impossible to find a way out of the hands of the local officials, gentry and landlords …
Asking the court for money is even more unworkable …
Now the imperial court can’t even send out a hundred officials to serve Lu. What’s worse, it takes out so much silver at one time to train the army for itself …
There is no way to solve the problem … As time goes by, Wang Chengyi’s face but expression has been unconsciously replaced by dignity.
At this moment, a burst of rapid footsteps suddenly reached Wang Chengyi’s ear.
A chief with a broadsword slung over his waist hurried into the lobby and told Wang Chengyi to frown.
"Someone outside the adult yamen wants to visit you. This is the other party’s invitation to the adults …"
Worried about money and food, Wang Chengyi sometimes waved his hand and refused to go to see people. "Didn’t you see that the official was thinking about something … The official didn’t go back where he came from when he didn’t see him now?"
The silver chief didn’t leave the horse, but continued to say, "The governor’s adult yamen outsiders said that they would see him if you saw the post … and look down on that person should be from the government’s adult. You should take a look at this post …"
Although the chief who didn’t know how to sense motive in front of him was full of dissatisfaction, Wang Chengyi still took the post and read it with a thoughtful face.
I don’t know if I look at it, but I’m shocked …
Just now, Wang Chengyi’s face was frowning with a thoughtful expression.
Then, facing the front chief, he ordered with a look of expectation, "Ma invited the other party into the lobby … and let the horse tea be brought back from Beijing. Good tea must be well entertained by one of these distinguished guests …"
The righteous man who came to visit Wang Cheng was none other than Kelly Y Zhou, the strategist of the Tiger and Leopard Army who took over the immigration from Weizheng.
Of course, the Kelly Y Zhou court also has an identity, that is, the Shaanxi Governor’s Office belongs to Zhenger, who is in charge of all civil affairs in Shaanxi and Shaanxi provinces …
Although it is not clear why such a high-ranking Kelly Y Zhou came to Jinan in secret, people with a little common sense will know that Kelly Y Zhou must have some skeletons in his closet next time.
For this level, although it is not much different from yourself, it is far more profitable than yourself, especially Kelly Y Zhou Wang Chengyi, who is backed by tens of thousands of butch troops, dare not neglect it.
Kelly Y Zhou just walked into the yamen compound Wang Chengyi was greeted with a smile on his face.
Chapter three hundred and fifty-one Warlords
After some greetings, the host Wang Chengyi first said, "Wang Daren, you are the most powerful person in Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces except Governor Wei … I don’t know why Zhou Daren came here in person?"
In order to win the final victory in the next negotiation, the first thing to do is to master the whole negotiation initiative.
Wei Zheng’s deputy and influenced by Wei Zheng for a long time, Kelly Y Zhou knows this truth very well
Facing Wang Chengyi, I asked myself. Kelly Y Zhou didn’t have a horse to answer.
Instead, the conversation turned thoughtful and asked, "Wang Daren, as far as officials know, the situation in Shandong has fallen into a worsening situation …"
"Regardless of the fact that there are more and more refugees in Shandong due to drought, those rebels and bandits who have slowly attacked the county should be enough for Wang Daren …"
His sore spot was punctured by others, and Wang Chengyi’s face became embarrassing.
However, he was not angry because he believed that Kelly Y Zhou would never say such a thing to himself because of his experience in officialdom.
After taking a deep breath, I didn’t hide this fact.
The other party did not hesitate to affirm that "Zhou Zhouren knows so well about my Shandong in Shanxi … The official admits that Shandong really faces many problems that need to be solved immediately."
"Otherwise our foot in Shandong will become another Shaanxi …"
The other party readily admired Kelly Y Zhou very much.
Facing Wang Chengyi’s sincere eyes, Kelly Y Zhou nodded and answered, "Wang Daren said yes … If we can’t control the refugees and traitors in Shandong, it won’t be long before these traitors will become rebels …"
"Then prosperous Shandong will become as barren as Shaanxi …"
"What’s more important is that these rebels will shift their targets to the capital after robbing Shandong, threatening the capital and the court …"
Now that the two men have had a frank dialogue, Wang Chengyi will no longer hide and directly answer, "Lord Zhou said yes … At present, the situation in Shandong is getting worse and worse. If it is not alleviated, Shandong will become another Shaanxi in three years at the latest … and there will be one more rebel in our territory that can threaten the imperial court."
"But if you want to destroy these rebels, you must have an army with strong fighting capacity … and the local garrison and the garrison in Shandong obviously don’t have this factor …"
"Because of this, the officers sent troops to encirclement and suppression to defeat the rebels again and again. Instead of destroying these rebels, they gave them a lot of weapons …"
"The officials of refugees in Shandong Province don’t hide it … as far as officials know, the number of refugees in Shandong Province has exceeded 500 thousand … and these numbers are increasing as the drought continues."
Get the answer you want after Kelly Y Zhou corners of the mouth directly with a sneer at unnoticed.
And what I need to do next is to further induce Wang Chengyi to fall into his trap.
After taking a deep look at the face of Nai Wang Chengyi in front of him, Kelly Y Zhou continued to ask, "In this case, Wang Daren can train his own troops and train a team that is obedient to his own army officer. It seems that with such an adult, you can follow your own ideas …"
When Kelly Y Zhou said this, a pair of eyes stared at Wang Chengyi’s facial expression.
Not to Kelly Y Zhou’s surprise, Wang Chengyi’s face jumped when he said,’ Finish obeying his own army’.
Although calm was restored in a short time, Kelly Y Zhou, with a keen sense of smell, had already felt that he was tempted to discuss Wang Chengyi with himself …
Wang Chengyi, an official veteran of the governor, is very aware of the importance of the army to himself.
Once you have your own army, you can completely gain a foothold in Shandong. Not only that, you will no longer be alone with an army, and the court will have some scruples when it thinks about yourself.
Instead of moving forward, because there is no power behind him, the court can do whatever it wants, and regard itself as a civil servant who can be tied with his hands.
Of course, Wang Chengyi didn’t show it.
After all, at present, the idea of big dynasty is still very taboo.
Besides, it is absolutely an imperial edict for the imperial court to tidy up itself before it is unable to form a private army. Wang Chengyi, a veteran of officialdom, knows very well that disaster comes from his mouth.
See Wang Chengyi don’t mouth Kelly Y Zhou continue to mouth urged "Wang Daren this problem we won’t discuss first … officer to tell you is the official body came to jinan not out of intention, but by shanshan governor who adult entrust after have something important to discuss with you and then come over"
"Shandong and Shanxi are two neighboring provinces. Once bandits and refugees in Shandong enter the legal control point, Shanxi will be affected more than attacked by these rebels …"
"In order to avoid Shanxi being affected, our governor hopes that Wang Daren can quickly eliminate the bandits in Shandong, otherwise Governor Wei will personally attend the throne of Wang Daren to the court and then personally command the Tiger and Leopard Army to enter Shandong to eliminate these bandits that may threaten Shanxi …"
In the face of Kelly Y Zhou’s grandiose questioning, Wang Chengyi’s face expression has not changed, but his heart is full of worries.
It knows about the governor Wei Zheng of Shanshan. Wang Chengyi can be sure that it is impossible to go back if the tiger and leopard army enter Shandong. If the other court participates in his own position, his position as governor of Shandong may be lost by 90%.
After a few months, I had to pay the taxes of the imperial court, but I finally collected them all, but because of this incident, the people in Shandong were boiling with resentment.
