The troops and horses and food in Shandong Province are transported from Tongzhou. In terms of distance or in all aspects, it is more convenient to directly allocate from Jining Prefecture, because Jining happens to be a hub on the back of the grain in the south. Perhaps in order to control the troops and horses in Shandong, the grain, fodder, and silver allocated by the court are transported to Tongzhou first, and then heading south into Shandong to allocate distribution. The only way is Jinan Prefecture.

Now that the army is private and the generals are becoming more and more warlords, the same is true for these large and small military leaders in Shandong. If you have more food and money, you can gather more troops and horses, and the greater your power will be. Therefore, when food and money passes through, Shandong General Qiu Lei always plunders and detains them.

Not to mention the newly-emerged Li Meng, even Liu Zeqing's food, fodder, and silver were plucked by Qiu Lei's geese many times. In real history, it was precisely because of this that Qiu Lei was killed by Liu Zeqing.

Although Qiu Lei was unscrupulous, the military leaders who were detained and looted by him dared not speak out. First of all, Qiu Lei was the only one who is truly famous in Shandong Province. He is the nominal general of Shandong, and he is considered a commander-in-chief. For example, although Liu Zeqing is also a general, he can only be regarded as a miscellaneous person.

Moreover, Qiu Lei is the second richest Jinan Prefecture in Shandong. Dengzhou Prefecture, which is stationed in a large army, is also under his jurisdiction. His strength is also considered strong in Shandong. Although Dengzhou Prefecture is not adjacent to Jinan Prefecture, the supply of food, fodder, and silver is transported through the sea, and no one can stop him.

The yamen of Shandong General Town, the Shandong Governor and the yamen of the General Administration and the yamen of the General Administration and the yamen of Jinan Prefecture are all close to each other. After all, this is much more convenient to fight, and many things can be suppressed by the Governor's yamen, which makes Qiu Lei's behavior become more unscrupulous.

Some time ago, Liu Zeqing was suddenly attacked by a thief and died. Shandong General Qiu Lei was nominally subordinate to the government, and was severely criticized by the court, which made him look dirty. Now he is free to take action and is about to take action.

Qiu Lei was born in a general for generations. His ancestors were military generals near Nanzhili. He always looked down on these military generals who had climbed up from the bottom of the country in Shandong. Moreover, he repeatedly detained and looted. These people in Shandong were tolerant. At most, they went to the governor's yamen to fight lawsuits, and it was just like that.

When Liu Zeqing was destroyed, Shandong general Qiu Lei naturally took a fancy to Yanzhou Prefecture, the richest territory in Shandong. Not only did he seize the opportunity to penetrate, but he also specially prepared to attack Li Meng, the general who could compete for the possibility of competition. This crossing of food, fodder, military pay is a good opportunity for the attack.

It is ridiculous to say that this pay is the second payout since Liu Qingsong ordered the Jiaozhou camp to test the troops. It is almost two years apart. Now that the various departments of the Jiaozhou camp have paid the payout, the soldiers already know that the full payout was paid by Lord Li, and it has nothing to do with the court. The soldiers are all relatively simple young people. They have learned from the teachings in the military camp that they know that General Li is, but not that Emperor Zhu.

As for those soldiers who were born in the bandits, Xiangma, it was even more true. General Li gave him the official position of money, so he was our biological parents, so he would do whatever he asked him to do.

In this system, three lectures a day talk about the hard work of Lord Li in Jiaozhou, the victory of General Li and the good things to make decisions for the people, gradually a brilliant idea, generous and righteous, and powerful image formed in the hearts of the officers and soldiers below.

For Jiaozhou Camp, it doesn’t matter whether there is this food or not. If there is this money, it is icing on the cake. Without this money, it’s no big deal.

After General Qiu Lei seized the military pay, his generals returned the return, saying that the soldiers from Laizhou did not react. When this reply came, he was really proud. After being humiliated by himself, Li Meng had no power in Shandong, and he did not respond, which meant he was a soft boy. It seemed that he could reach out to Yanzhou Prefecture.

For Li Meng, the forced robbery of military pay was a good thing that was sent by inexplicably. Li Meng remembered a saying in the past that a person naturally had good things to come to his house after getting married, and now it has come true.

As a military general, no matter how domineering he is, he is under the Ming Dynasty's court system. Qiu Lei blocked his military pay transportation channel and took it down. If he wanted to take it back, he would definitely have to fight. Jinan City is the largest city in Shandong, and there are vassal kings in the city. It would be difficult to come to Caozhou again. If it was obvious that the battle between the two sides was a big battle, it would be considered as his own provocation.

It is certainly wrong for the other party to seize military pay, but it is not going to be a big fight. The army will probably target themselves at that time. If they are suing for written documents, everyone will know the result and they will definitely be in a mess and dispute over official documents.

But it is enough to have such a reason, and it is the reason why others take the initiative to provoke trouble. As long as there is a reason for the military pay robbery, it means that there must be a very deep conflict between the two sides. At least in the eyes of outsiders, it would be strange if there is no conflict between the two sides. There are rough people between the general and the military. Since there is no fire in the overall situation, there will definitely be some small conflicts that everyone will understand.

As long as everyone understands it and doesn't think it is abrupt, Li Meng immediately called Master Ning and others to start the arrangement after receiving the urgent letter from Zhao Neng.

On the 25th day of the first lunar month, the envoy sent by Li Meng rushed to the governor's office and delivered a sincere and erotic document to the hands of Shandong Governor Yan Jizu. Since it was the document of Li Meng, Yan Jizu would of course have to check it out personally.

When he saw the letter, he immediately felt a headache. It was really a troublesome. In the letter, the general Li Meng asked the governor to be fair, saying that the court had not given food and salary for Jiaozhou for several years, which was like a long drought and waiting for rain, but was suddenly taken away by subordinates of the Shandong General Qiu Lei. Where is the court's rule and where is the livelihood of tens of thousands of children in Laizhou Prefecture?

Shandong General Qiu Lei is already a familiar hand in doing this. All the generals of all military personnel are angry. Even the garrisons of some prefectures and counties prepare generous gifts to bribe every New Year holiday. After agreeing with General Qiu to pass the border, two or three percent of the food and money are left as a tap and not to detain them all. The food and money allocated by the imperial court actually became business transactions, which is ridiculous and sad.

If these military generals can make a complaint in the Governor's Office, they may not have done such humble things. There is no chaos in Shandong, and there are frequent activities of bandits and cults around Jinan Prefecture. These Shandong Provincial officials also expect Qiu Lei to lead troops to protect them. Besides, Qiu Lei was not stingy. The Governor's Office and the Governor's Office all contributed a lot.

These governors have taken over the benefits of General Qiu Lei. In addition, since the Tianqi period, civil officials have no choice but to deal with such arrogant and domineering generals, so they try their best to protect General Qiu Lei. If they can cover up, they will go there. Moreover, Qiu Lei is also one of the largest military leaders in Shandong, so there is no need to worry about maintaining them.

But Li Meng has a background behind this. He sent an envoy to attend his wedding some time ago. After the envoy came back, he talked about the grand occasion of the wedding. In addition to the eunuch Liu Fulai, there were probably many other strong backgrounds. Such accusing general Qiu Lei of looting the military pay of friendly troops, if the governor's yamen did not solve the problem, he really didn't know what would happen.

After reading the letter from the beginning, Yan Jizu couldn't help but feel a little worried about laughing. He and others were all from the right professional class, from Jinshi, and after being a key department, they were released as governors. Their writing skills are naturally extraordinary, and they can see hidden meanings from the details.

The reason why this letter makes people laugh is that although the format of the official document is normal, the text throughout the text seems to be a resentful woman crying. She just tells her grievances, but can't provide any evidence. Although such official document refers to a name, it has no practical significance.

Generally speaking, such high-ranking characters were considered more fully. Yan Jizu immediately thought, could it be that Li Meng was just expressing his attitude so that people would not feel weak and after thinking about it, there was only this possibility.

I read the letter again, and became more and more sure of my thoughts, and felt much more relaxed. I called a master, wrote Feng Yanci's polite reprimand, and sent someone to the mansion of Shandong General Qiu Lei, just to respond to a story. At the same time, I replied to Li Meng, and the letter said that without real evidence, how could I dare to accuse the general of the court? The bandits in Shandong are rampant. Maybe those who are not open-minded should take action. As a general of the court, you should arrest the bandits and avoid the next similar situation.

When Qiu Lei saw the reprimand document sent by the governor's yamen, the last bit of worry in his heart disappeared. He immediately passed the news to his subordinate generals. In the future, if there is food and salary from Laizhou Prefecture, he will still be able to grab it.

On the tenth day of the 11th year of Chongzhen, the business was busy, and Li Meng had spent his newlywed honeymoon and began to continue the busy and regular life he used to be.

Ordinary people don’t know that the supplies of each army under Li Meng’s subordinates are basically transported within the control territory. Qiu Lei’s people can’t get it if they want to stand at this cheaper one. After all, they cannot blatantly enter other people’s territory and take action.
