    One hundred and sixty-five Talk about peace

    Meng Ju left Ouyang Hui a memorable word, and then left him to go back and think about it - in fact, Meng Ju wanted to tell him directly that everyone took the old battle armor from the warehouse and sold it, but now he told his subordinates  After all, I¡¯m not very familiar with him yet, so I¡¯m still embarrassed to say such words.

    After sending Ouyang Hui away, the guards came in again to report that Yuan Yikang, the governor of Dongping, sent a steward over and wanted to invite Governor Meng to have dinner at Tianxiang House tonight. Governor Yuan wanted to clean up Governor Meng's dust. I wonder if Governor Meng is available.  Appreciation?

    Hearing this invitation, Meng Ju was very cautious. He thought for half a quarter of an hour, and then summoned several inspectors such as Ouyang Hui, Xu Long, Nie Ping, Ning Nan, and Li Minghua, and told them: Tonight, Governor Yuan of Dongping Governor's Mansion  Inviting himself to Tianxianglou for dinner, he wanted to ask for everyone's opinion, should he go or not?

    The inspectors were also very cautious. After discussing for a while, everyone basically agreed: this is a normal entertainment, you should go, it would be rude not to go, but Inspector Meng Zhen should bring an inspector with him. If anything happens,  Take good care of each other.

    Ouyang Hui summoned the clerks from the Independent Commission Against Corruption and the Military Information Letter, and asked them to immediately record the speeches of the inspectors, and then asked the inspectors present to sign to confirm that they were correct. Then Meng Ju asked the guards to go out and reply, saying that they would be there on time tonight.  .

    Meng Ju was so serious about having a banquet, and his subordinates didn't think it was strange.

    The internal logic of the Dongling Guard is very weird. Some things that seem like a big deal to ordinary people, such as harboring gangs, taking corruption and bribery, disregarding human life, fraud, extortion, and even killing innocent people, are just commonplace trivial matters for the Dongling Guard officers. You can  We chatted easily and even exchanged experiences with each other.

    It is something that is not illegal. In Dongling's view, it is an extraordinary event.

    In the six towns of Northern Xinjiang, Lingwei officers colluded with the border troops. This was the biggest taboo, and it was a greater crime than colluding with the Southern Tang Dynasty. To outsiders, this was simply inexplicable. The frontier troops and the Lingwei were not both from the Wei Dynasty.  Army?  What does it matter if there are closer contacts between friendly armies?

    In fact, this is the most important thing.  Meng Juneng stood out among many mid-level officers and was favored by Bai Wusha. In addition to being particularly good at fighting, another important reason was because of his "firm stand" - to put it bluntly, he was not afraid of Tuo.  Ba Xiong dares to confront the border troops, and the hatred is as deep as the sea.  Although Yuan Yikang is not in the same party as Tuoba Xiong, he is still the leader of the border army system after all. Meng Ju must be cautious when receiving his invitation.

    "At this moment, I met with Manager Huang and Deputy Manager Zhao of the Fufeng County Mausoleum Office. They were just paying a routine visit and didn't mention anything important;

    At 2:00 p.m., I met with Qin, the deputy manager of Baoxiang Ling Office. The manager of Baoxiang Ling Office was vacant.  From what he heard, Qin Mu wanted to seek this position.  He handed me a red envelope, one thousand taels of silver, but I confiscated it - there is a difference between receiving some money as a thank you for a subordinate's promotion and promoting a subordinate for money - I admit that I am a corrupt official, but a principled corrupt official.

    At three o'clock, Xu Long from the Military Intelligence Office came to report on the follow-up matters of the Jing'an War.  Recently, the relationship between our Mausoleum Office and the border army has not been very good. The border army has begun to do its own thing again. The appointment of officers no longer goes through our military information room, and they are not even reported. The mausoleum guard has lost control of the border army.  Control methods - I remember that Canaan had a very difficult time fighting for the right to "appointment, dismissal and review" from Tuoba Xiong. Once she dies, does it really mean that the people will die and the government will cease?

    ¡°No way, what Canaan has fought for must not be lost in my hands.  But now the two battle armor masters have not been formed yet, I ask Xu Long to be patient a little longer!

    At a quarter past noon, we visited the camp of the Zhenbiao troops, listened to the report of the Zhenbiao leader Jianghai, and had lunch at the Zhenbiao camp by the way.

    There are many problems in Zhenbiao. It has been two or three months since the Jing'an War. Because there is no town governor to preside over it, the disability pensions for the officers and soldiers in Zhenbiao have not yet been implemented, and the pensions for the fallen officers and soldiers have not yet been issued.  I asked Jiang Hai to immediately create a list of disabled officers and soldiers and an expense plan and submit it to the Independent Commission Against Corruption, and asked Ouyang Hui to calculate how much it would cost. I also asked the Jianzhi Office to send someone to privately check the reported list to prevent officers from making false claims.  Obtaining benefits through deception - in fact, this matter should be within the scope of the Intelligence Agency, but I hate Li Minghua and won't look for him!

    I asked a soldier how much pay they could get in a month, and found that it was 30% less than what they were paid.

    Jiang Hai's face turned pale beside him, and the bodies of several accompanying officers were shaking violently - the corruption of Lingwei officers is really shocking, there is nothing I can't think of, there is nothing they can't do.

    The only good thing is that our neighbor¡¯s border troops are even worse. I heard that they will deduct 50% of the salary.  In comparison, our mausoleum guards are still very superior and happy. I don't have to worry about them mutiny yet.

    To ensure safety, you should add one more next timeAccording to military regulations, it is forbidden to inquire about the income of officers and soldiers in other provincial mausoleum offices. Violators will be beaten with a military stick.

    Jiang Hai reported that Zhenbiao lost 432 soldiers in the battle of Jing'an and needed to recruit new soldiers to make up for it.  Ask Jiang Hai to propose a recruitment plan and submit it to the Military Intelligence Office for approval - I wonder how much money it will cost?

    I told Jiang Hai that the provincial department was going to form a new army.  I told him about my idea of ??a pure Doukai force, and told Jiang Hai that Doukai does not have to be used with infantry. A fast-moving Doukai division can defeat a slow-moving army of tens of thousands.

    I thought it would be difficult for the generals to accept advanced armored clusters and wolf pack tactics, but unexpectedly it was effortless.

    Jiang Hai said that in fact, this is what King Tianwu did back then. He destroyed Liu Han's million-strong army with pure combat armor troops.  It¡¯s just that after the founding of the Wei Dynasty, the field armies had to be divided into various places, and the number of battle armors was seriously insufficient, so they could only be used together with infantry - why did I forget this example?  What a shame.

    Jiang Hai was very interested in my ideas. He shared many ideas, some of which were quite interesting.  This young man is not bad, he has solid military knowledge, rich experience, and most importantly, his mind is not rigid yet.  "

    After writing this, Meng Ju stopped writing.  During today's inspection, Jiang Hai, the person in charge of Zhenbiao, left a good impression on him. This young officer was cheerful, enthusiastic and capable. He was enthusiastic about Meng Ju but not to the point of flattery. He had a good sense of proportion.

    Regarding the two newly formed Doukai divisions, Meng Ju is still hesitant in choosing the division commander.  There are three candidates in his mind, namely Lu Liulou, Jiang Hai and Wang Beixing.

    Emotionally, Meng Ju prefers Lu Liulou and Wang Beixing. They have lived and died together and are relatively reliable.  But they also have their own shortcomings. Lu Liulou was born as a small soldier. He is proficient in commanding small groups in combat, but lacks experience in commanding large-scale troops;

    Wang Beixing is rough but fine, and he can lead troops better than Lu Liulou, but he is new to Doukai and is not familiar with Doukai combat;

    Jiang Hai has both experience in leading large troops and actual combat experience.  Although the troops of the Provincial Department were completely defeated in the battle of Jing'an, that was the responsibility of Ye Canaan's misjudgment, not Jiang Hai's responsibility - the troops of the Provincial Department were attacked by several times the number of demons and rebels.  Being able to support the Jing'an Department to come over for reinforcements is considered Jiang Hai's commanding ability.

    No matter from any angle, his resume is stronger than Lu Liulou and Wang Beixing, but the disadvantage is that Meng Ju is not sure about his character and loyalty.

    Should you choose someone who is reliable or someone who is capable?

    Meng Ju was still thinking about it, but Ouyang Hui knocked on the door outside and shouted: "Sir, it's almost time, we should go to Tianxiang Tower."

    Meng Ju responded and told Wang Jiu to come in and sort out the documents he had reviewed today, and then went out to set off with Ouyang Hui.

    The business of Tianxiang Tower is still so good, the passenger flow is dense and the people are noisy.

    In the lobby, Meng Ju met Boss Du, the shopkeeper of Tianxianglou. He smiled and cupped his hands: "Shopkeeper Du, it's been a long time no see. How is business lately?"

    In the past, shopkeeper Du dared to smile and say flattery when he saw Meng Ju, but now, he dared not even look at Meng Ju: "I am here to see you, Lord Governor! Congratulations to Lord Governor for your advancement and smooth sailing."  "

    "Okay, we are acquaintances, Lao Du, please stop doing this. Which box has Governor Yuandu decided on? Take us there."

    It was still the luxurious box on the third floor. Not long after Meng Ju and Ouyang Hui sat down, Yuan Yikang led two people there - one of them was Yi Xiaodao, and the other was a thin man whom Meng Ju didn't recognize. Judging from his temperament, he was also  The general of the frontier army.

    When we met, everyone greeted each other politely.

    Meng Ju and Yi Xiaodao have met several times. The strange thing is that although he knows that Yi Xiaodao is Tuoba Xiong's minion just like Shen Tujue, for some reason, Meng Ju doesn't have much ill feeling towards this smiling young general.

    This baby-faced brigade commander still has an innocent smile on his face, but his eyelids are a little swollen, as if he hasn't had enough sleep recently.

    Yuan Yikang introduced to Meng Ju that the officer whom Meng Ju didn't recognize was Xian Yuba, the temporary brigade commander of the newly built garrison brigade in Dongping Province.

    Xian Yuba is dark and thin, with deep eyes, protruding cheekbones, a high bridge of nose, and prominent facial contours. He has obvious Chinese characteristics.  He has sharp eyes and a serious smile, and his thin body gives off a feeling of eagerness and energy.

    He nodded to Meng Ju and said forcefully: "At the end of the year, General Xian Yuba, who is temporarily acting as brigade commander of the Second Guard Brigade, will see you, Lord Governor!"

    Temporary acting brigade commander refers to a brigade commander who has been appointed by Dongping Province but has not yet been officially recognized by the Ministry of War.  Of course, everyone also knows that Yuan Yikang is sure of his appointment.?The court will definitely approve it, it's just a matter of procedure.

    Meng Ju still remembered that when the two brigade commanders Shen Tujue and Yi Xiaodao met Ye Canan, they knelt down to worship. The guy in front of him just nodded to him so carelessly - but think about Ye Canan's  What is his identity? The guy in front of him is a Chinese. It would be better if he doesn't turn around and salute him.

    "You don't need to be polite, Your Excellency Xianyu! Brother Xianyu is charming and imposing. You must be the new general recruited by Governor Yuan?"

    Yuan Yikang laughed: "Brother Meng, please don't make fun of me. This big Buddha of yours refuses to live in my small temple, so I have to recruit another talented person - Xian Yuba used to be the deputy brigade in Wuchuan Town.  Handsome, I managed to recruit him with great difficulty. Because of this matter, Tuoba Lu, the governor of Wuchuan, had a fight with me, saying that I had no loyalty to pry him into a corner, but I was scolded bloody! "

    Meng Ju noticed that when Yuan Yikang spoke, Xian Yuba looked at him lightly, and his eyes were not very friendly.

    Meng Ju immediately understood that Yuan Yikang was speaking without restraint and had said the wrong thing. He said that he wanted Xian Yu Ba only if he could not recruit him. He obviously meant that Xian Yu Ba was inferior to him, and Xian Yu Ba was angry - General Xian Yu was still very arrogant.  Yes, I can't bear the slightest grievance. Yuan Yikang has recruited such a living treasure to serve him, then he will really be able to bear it in the future!

    After a trip to Luojing, Meng Ju's knowledge greatly increased, and his temperament naturally followed.  With his current status, of course he would no longer be as familiar with the rude military men. He smiled and said: "If you can get a tiger general like General Xianyu, it will be worth the few more scoldings you get from Governor Yuan. Governor Yuan, General Xianyu is far away."  Better than me, with him helping you, Governor Yuan will be even more powerful for you!"

    Meng Ju raised Xian Yuba very high, and the latter couldn't help but smile. He clasped his fists and said, "Supervisor Meng, thank you for the award. I have heard of your achievements, Supervisor Meng, even in humble positions. I admire you very much."

    Meng Ju also introduced Ouyang Hui, Inspector of the Integrity Department of the Mausoleum Department, and everyone sat down separately.

    Yuan Yikang asked Meng Ju about Luo Jing, saying that he heard rumors at the border fortress that someone had assassinated the emperor and Bai Wusha. What exactly happened?

    Meng Ju picked up something he could say and told him. Yuan Yikang shook his head repeatedly: "It's a mess, it's a mess! I've only been in Dongping for a year or two, how come Luo Jing is in such a mess? Some people are just restless!  It¡¯s decades old, what¡¯s the use of bringing it up again?¡±

    Meng Ju smiled, thinking that although Yuan Yikang was at the frontier, he was still well informed.  He probably knows who is behind the assassin, right?

    It is inconvenient for Meng Ju to comment on the affairs of the Xianbei royal family.  He changed the subject and talked about his dealings with the Luojing Yamen, and how difficult it was for him to do things in each Yamen. He lamented that the officials in the capital were difficult to deal with, and when he started to do things, the money flowed out like running water.

    Yuan Yikang laughed loudly when he heard this: "It's okay. Next time you go back to Beijing for business, I will go back with you! I am familiar with Lao He and the others from the Ministry of Revenue. We have been friends for decades. How dare they not give me anything?"  To save your face, I¡¯ll beat them up!¡±

    "Haha, I'm such a lowly general, so I'd like to thank the governor first!"

    "Hey, brother Meng, why are you being polite to me? We are friends of life and death! By the way, brother, I am really confused. After talking for so long, I actually forgot to congratulate you on your appointment as the mayor!  I had been worried before, not knowing who the imperial court would send to serve as the governor of Dongping. If a difficult guy comes, it will be trouble!

    ¡°I didn¡¯t expect that the court was wise and sent you Brother Meng. Let¡¯s do it now. We two brothers will work together in Dongping and work happily for a few years.  Come, let¡¯s have a drink for Brother Meng¡¯s promotion!  "

    Everyone raised their glasses to congratulate Meng Ju. Meng Ju drank it all in one gulp and said with a smile: "You are so polite, Governor Yuan. I have a shallow talent and do not understand many things. I am not very familiar with the situation in Dongping. I hope Governor Yuan will  You are generous with your advice.

    Governor, you also know that the Dongling Guards are not easy to serve, and the trees are full of dead branches due to their responsibilities. They may offend the brothers under your command. I hope you will not be offended.  "

    Yuan Yikang waved his hand proudly: "Well, Brother Meng is getting angry when he says this. My old brother, Yuan, has no other abilities, but he likes to make friends the most. My principle is: I would rather suffer a loss than let others suffer.  Friends are in trouble!

    What about Dongling Guard?  Aventurine Guards can¡¯t make friends?  Your former Governor Ye was very happy to work with me. We all cooperated well!

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Not to mention, of course, we are such a good friend, if anything happens, we can discuss it!  As long as everyone is considerate of each other, doesn't do anything excessive, and is more open-minded about everything, then what can't be solved?

    We are all brothers within the four seas, not to mention that we are all military generals of the Great Wei State, and we are destined to be in Dongping together!  You all say, is this true?  "

      Everyone nodded, saying that Governor Yuan was right, come on, come on, have a drink, have a drink!

    After taking a sip of wine, Yuan Yikang said with a breath of wine: "Brother Meng, I'm crazy how old you are. Don't be offended if you speak more verbosely. You have only been the town governor for a short time, but I have already become the governor."  It¡¯s been more than a year, and I¡¯ve had some thoughts and nagging thoughts with you.¡±

    "I highly appreciate the advice from Governor Yuan!"

    "Haha, Brother Meng, our Dongping side is a frontier fortress. What has the most things? The most soldiers! The saints have said that swords and soldiers are unlucky! When there are too many soldiers, people will easily become angry, and people's hearts will become fierce! We are different from the mainland.  , the government in the mainland can prey on the people, but the people don't even dare to fart, but what about us? We are being preyed upon by the unruly people and Qiu Ba!

    In Dongping, we can't show off our official authority. The Qiu Ba people are angry and will follow us in and out with white knives and red knives at every turn.

    We must not be impatient when doing things, we must not act according to our temper, we must be cautious and cautious.  Brother Meng, you have become the governor at such a young age, and you will definitely have a bright future in the future. Don't act on your own initiative!  "

    Meng Ju said "hmm", but felt strange in his heart.  Yuan Yikang's words seemed to be speaking in general terms, but also seemed to be referring to something, but he couldn't figure out what they meant.

    But immediately, Yuan Yikang revealed the answer to him: "For example, some things are really irritating, but it happened, and the person dies, and no matter how angry you are, you can't change it. Brother Meng, you are also now a  It would be bad for both people and oneself to get involved in some old issues after losing the governor. Dongping Province finally managed to drive away the demons and live in peace for a few days. If some old grievances lead to tit-for-tat or even a fight - then, Meng  Brother, you are happy, but the people are suffering!

    ??Brother Meng, you are my savior, and that side is mine. Anyway, the unlucky one is me, the Bird Governor. I am caught between you, and I am really in a dilemma.  Brother Meng, someone asked me to give you a message, hoping that I can wipe out the past grudges with you. Do you think it can be done?  Whatever conditions you want, just say it, no need to be polite to him!  "
