Chapter 875 Local Elites

Wang Wendong, a member of the Wang family in Jimo, studied under Jingyun Gong. Although he was full of knowledge and outstanding in talent, he failed many exams. At the age of thirty, he only had the fame of a scholar.

However, his talent is quite outstanding. With Jingyun Gong's personality and his high vision, he looked at him differently and encouraged him very much, thinking that as long as he keeps his composure and studies hard, he will inevitably be in high school sooner or later.

In this era, getting fame and high school Jinshi has basically become the only way for every scholar to realize his ideal, but it is not easy to pass the imperial examination? This path is like a thousand troops crossing a single-plank bridge. The fierce competition is better than fighting on the battlefield.

Even when Wang Wendong was thirty years old, he did not pass the imperial examination and did not want to wasted his youth and life. He then defected to Liu Yuanqiao and became Liu Yuanqiao's confidant.

Liu Yuanqiao did not look down on the other party because he did not win the imperial examination, because Liu Yuanqiao knew that whether a person has ability does not depend on whether he wins the imperial examination or not or whether he has fame or fame, but whether he has talent and ability.

During the rise of the Liu family, he could appear everywhere in a series of struggles with the government. Many times, he could serve as Liu Yuanqiao's personal representative.

After the Liu family took over Shandong, this important town was immediately handed over to him. He was a white-handed person and served as the prefect of Jinan, and then became the governor of Shandong. He guarded the six prefectures of Shandong. He was called a high-ranking minister and a magistrate of the territory of Mu. In his life, he was not confused at this point, so what else can he ask for?

Wang Wendong played the role of a prominent general in Liu and Liu's system. As the Liu family's long-lasting land and an important town in the north, Shandong cannot be missed. This time, the court counterattacked the Liu family's army, and Shandong became the first to bear the brunt.

The court made a huge noise, threatening to gather 700,000 troops to flatten Jinan City.

The troops in Shandong are only 100,000. Among the 100,000, the main force is only more than 10,000, and the others are local auxiliary troops. These troops are usually good at guarding their families, but if they want to go to the battlefield and fight a fierce battle, it is probably not possible.

So their disadvantage was extremely great, but Liu Yuanqiao did not disappoint them. Liu Yuanqiao first announced that he would mobilize at least 200,000 reinforcements to arrive here to resist the counterattack of the Ming army.

But for Wang Wendong, the King Liu Yuanqiao said it well, but the reinforcements have not arrived for a long time.

This is not because the king Liu Yuanqiao did not want to rush to Shandong to help, but because their food and troops could not be transported there at all.

In addition, Wang Wendong also had a terrible idea. This idea was that the Liu family gave up Shandong in a bad situation and adopted a situation of coherence between the north and the south. If this was the case, the people of Shandong would be unlucky.

As the highest commander of Shandong and a child of Laizhou, Wang Wendong first needs to test the interests of the locals. You would say that Liu Yuanqiao and his son are also from Shandong, or from Laizhou. How could they give up the interests of the Shandong people?

Since they went south to Nanjing, they have become royal families and people in the world. Their eyes have been placed on the greatness of the world. To ensure the interests of their world, any place can be sacrificed, and of course, Shandong is also a place where it can be sacrificed.

In the past, they would propose the idea that Qi people govern Qi, high autonomy, and safeguard the country and the people. But now, they have long forgotten this original intention. What they want is the whole world and what they focus on is the whole world.

Wang Wendong thought so because he had planned this way himself. If the situation was not good, he could give up Shandong and retreat to the Jianghuai River and fight against the north and south.

Even if we do not give up here, the current policy of luring the enemy deeper and fighting step by step, and the strategic policy of scorched earth resistance is actually at the expense of the interests of the Shandong people. To put it bluntly, Shandong will become the main battlefield. The continuous war between the two sides is afraid that the peace situation that has finally arrived will be destroyed, and countless people will die in wars.

It was because Wang Wendong saw this that he was not angry at the Cao Gang's rebellion. Instead, he explained the righteousness to them and persuaded them to surrender quickly. The people of Shandong united and fought for the highest interests.

Unfortunately, these people were blinded by Li Xiao in front of them and did not see the long-term situation at all. Both sides wanted to turn Shandong into a battlefield and into an abyss of disaster. In such a situation, Wang Wendong, the governor of Shandong, was unable to make the world come true even if he was capable.

Because Wang Wendong was a very smart person, he was valued by Liu Yuanqiao. He also knew the strategies of the Liu family, so he was worried and couldn't sleep at night.

Moreover, it is hard to say whether the tactical strategy in front of them can be successful. Although they have reduced their troops and stationed in several major towns, they have no shortage of food and ammunition in the town, and they can withstand the long-term siege of the enemy.

But after all, there are as many as 700,000 enemies. There are more than 100,000 people spread to each place. Even if each person squirts at a time, it will be flooded.

The opponent's manpower advantage crushed them and also put huge pressure on them. The first thing that came was Dongchang Prefecture, which was in the northernmost direction. The enemy almost attacked from Dongchang Prefecture. Whether from Liaocheng, Linqing or Dezhou, they attacked Dongchang Prefecture, so the pressure on Dongchang Prefecture is the greatest.

But the magistrate of Dongchang, Wang Wensheng, was the person he thought was the most unreliable. He had never been a senior official and had no good knowledge. He just relied on his words to get involved in this official position.

After joining the company, he made great efforts in this position with the help of his family. Even if Wang Wendong was dissatisfied with him, he could not find any problems. But when he thought of this person as many as five or six masters, how many strategies were made by him? How many plans were made by his ideas? It is hard to say that, to put it bluntly, the entire team around him was operating.

Wang Wendong even suspected that Fatty Wang was just a person in front of Taiwan introduced by his brother Wang Wenjie. All of this was controlled by Wang Wenjie behind the scenes, so he was able to firmly sit in the position of the prefect of Dongchang and also make the local governance vivid.

Wang Wendong believes that Fatty Wang can be successful, but facing such a major crisis, it is hard to say whether he has enough courage and whether he can make a decision at the right time.

Although the Chinese army also knew that the situation in the direction of Dongchang Prefecture was in danger, they urgently sent Liu Zhongyong to lead his troops to Liaocheng. According to the original plan, Liu Zhongyong led at least 20,000 troops to enter, but so far, Liu Zhongyong has not appeared, and 20,000 troops have not appeared yet. It is said that he is on the way.

The one guarding the direction of Cangzhou is Liu Feiyun, the son of Liu Zhongyong. They guard the front line from Cangzhou to Dezhou, and they are under great pressure, with very few troops and very high pressure.

If Cangzhou was not so important, it could play a role in vassalizing Shandong. Wang Wendong would directly transfer the troops from these places because he knew that he could not defend it at all.

However, the above sternly rejected his suggestions, requiring him to deploy troops on this line, do whatever he wants to guard against and fight against the enemy.

Wang Wendong watched coldly, and he knew the general strategy of the court. The strategy of the court was to fight step by step, scorched earth policy, lure the enemy into depth, and then launch a life-and-death battle with the enemy in the Jinan area. This means that Jinan will become the main battlefield and will reappear the scene of the Jingnan Battle. The bloody battle was fought and the casualties were very heavy. I was afraid that the place would be turned into white land. Wang Wendong began to experience the pain of Jingyun Gong.

Jingyun Gong is the priority of the place, so he supported and supported Liu Yuanqiao. As a result, after Liu Yuanqiao became bigger, he was embarrassed. Elites like him wanted to benefit Yuzu. Who knew that they could not do this and would harm the local area.

But Wang Wendong did not dare to disobey the order. He had been by Liu Yuanqiao for a long time. He knew Liu Yuanqiao's power and had a terrifying inner guard around him who secretly maintained his rule. If you learned the trick of the civil servant of the Ming Dynasty, saying that the emperor's will was the order of the emperor, which was a life-threatening life, and the order was returned, I was afraid that someone would kill you after you were given the order. In the Chinese Empire, Liu Yuanqiao's authority was inviolable, and there was no strength in the court to challenge him. The policies they formulated must be implemented unconditionally, either get out of the way, or even get out of the way.

Liu Yuanqiao often learned from Zhu Yuanzhang's methods. Zhu Yuanzhang recruited many celebrities to become officials, and these people were arrogant and unwilling to become officials.

If it was another emperor, at most he could only laugh it off and he could do nothing, but Zhu Yuanzhang was a ruthless person. As an official and scholar, he had the ability and ability and was not used by me. So who would use it for? Just kill it.

Of course, Liu Yuanqiao would not do it as openly as Zhu Yuanzhang, because after all, he is not as strong and powerful as Zhu Yuanzhang, but Liu Yuanqiao has many insidious methods. He would send people to assassinate or intercept them, causing revenge and robbery, and get rid of these people one by one. His meaning is simple, and if he doesn't use it for me, he will die.

The same is true for the Wang family in Jimo. The Liu family has tried their best to win over the Wang family, but Wang Wenjie doesn't want to play for Liu Yuanqiao. Fortunately, he has Ding You as an excuse to block it. It is estimated that after Wang Wenjie Ding You, he still is unwilling to become an official or a member of the Liu family, so he will not have any good ending.

Moreover, the Wang family introduced Fatty Wang to serve the Liu family, probably because of this consideration.

With Fatty Wang playing in the Chinese Army, even if their Wang family is a member of the Chinese Army system, Liu Yuanqiao would not have adopted such violent and cruel means against him.
