Although everyone's previous analysis was succinct and seemed to have wisdom in their hands, that was only when Li Jie was behind them.
Because, even if something unexpected happens during the suppression of bandits, as long as the group leader is there, they will not be afraid.
But now, Li Jie told them that he would not participate in the whole process of suppressing bandits this time. Although this situation had happened before, at that time, Li Jie just did not come forward to take command, and he still followed the team personally.
Looking around at everyone's performance, Li Jie frowned slightly, feeling a little dissatisfied.
"how?"
"You were confident just now, but now you have no confidence?"
When everyone heard Li Jie's tone, they shook their heads quickly.
"This matter has been settled. During my absence, we will still handle it according to the old rules."
"Yes!" X7
The so-called 'old rule' is that as long as Li Jie is away, the specific command work will be taken over by the staff department. Although the seven people present have different positions, they are all members of the staff department.
Li Jie waved his hand: "The meeting is dismissed!"
When everyone left the big tent, Li Jie was the only one left in the huge tent. Looking at the map on the table, Li Jie thought for a long time.
This time, he sent Chuanwu and others alone to suppress the bandits. Although he wanted to take a test, what he just said was not an excuse.
Something happened in the north.
Laojingou is located in Mohe and is under the jurisdiction of the Heilongjiang Governor's Office. In less than a year since the three eastern provinces were officially established, Heilongjiang will welcome its third governor.
The first governor of Heilongjiang was Duan Zhigui, but his origins as a governor were somewhat shady. Before the reform of the three eastern provinces, the Qing government sent Prince Qing's sons Zai Zhen and Xu Shichang to inspect the northeast.
Zai Zhen suddenly rose to a high position at a young age and was inevitably a little inflated. When passing by Tianjin, he envied Yang Cuixi, a Kun Ling in Tianjin who looked like a fairy and had outstanding intelligence. He wanted to take her as his concubine, but was rejected.
At that time, the official responsible for receiving Zai Zhen and Xu Shichang was Yuan Datou's loyal dog, Duan Zhigui, the chief patrol officer.
This person is extremely good at flattery. He has done everything in his life to gain promotion and fortune, and beauty traps are his specialty.
Seeing that Zai Zhen's pursuit of happiness was unsuccessful, Duan Zhigui immediately thought of an off-board move. Under his coercion and inducement, Yang Cuixi finally gave in.
Zai Zhen embraced the beauty and immediately praised Duan Zhigui. He also praised Duan Zhigui to his father for his outstanding political achievements and that he was a talented person who could be promoted out of the ordinary.
Later, under the guidance of Yuan Datou, Duan Zhigui repeatedly tried to please Prince Qing and his son, and finally successfully climbed up the high branches, was promoted three levels in a row, and was promoted to the governor of Heilongjiang.
However, paper cannot cover the fire, and Yuan Datou's political enemies soon found out about Duan Zhigui's affair.
At that time, the constitutionalists headed by Cen Chunxuan had long been dissatisfied with Prince Qing, Yuan Datou and others wielding power, but they could not find an opportunity to make an attack. Yuan Datou's status was too high and he was deeply trusted by the court.
It is naturally impossible for the constitutionalists to directly target Yuan Datou, but Duan Zhigui is different. This person is good at flattering others and has mediocre official performance, so he is a perfect target.
Therefore, the constitutionalists seized this opportunity and took the opportunity to challenge Yuan Da.
Under the manipulation of the constitutionalists, Duan Zhigui, the newly minted governor of Heilongjiang, was ousted from office before his butt was even warmed up, and in an extremely embarrassing manner.
Subsequently, Cheng Dequan, the second governor of Heilongjiang, was a die-hard constitutionalist and not a member of Yuan Datou, and the three eastern provinces had long been included in Yuan Datou's private territory.
How could Yuan Datou do nothing when his competitors pushed him forward?
Therefore, Cheng Dequan was squeezed out by Xu Shichang as soon as he took office. Cheng Dequan also knew this very well. For this reason, he repeatedly applied for the appointment of another capable person as the governor.
The Constitutionalists and the Beiyang faction have been fighting for a long time. Some time ago, the dispute over the governor of Heilongjiang was finally settled. The person who took over the position of governor this time was the Beiyang general Zhou Shumo.
The change of the emperor and his ministers must have affected Lao Jingou.
As Xu Shichang introduced various reform measures, the security environment in Northeast China has indeed improved. At least in name, both Maozi and the Japanese recognized the dominance of the Qing Dynasty.
With public security stabilized, the Qing government would naturally want to reshape the mountains and rivers, and as Laojingou was a well-known gold mine in the territory, the Qing government would naturally not give up such a treasured land.
No, last week, Da Jinli sent a telegram. Recently, spies from the government and army have often visited the Laojingou area. In order to prevent the truth from being discovered, Da Jinli had to take action and took care of some of the spies.
However, this action immediately stirred up a hornet's nest.
Fortunately, this was the time when the governor was handing over. If he waited until Zhou Shumo officially took office and clarified the internal situation, he would definitely send troops to encircle and suppress the 'mountain bandits' entrenched in Laojingou!
That's right, it is a group of 'bandits' who are mining in Laojingou now, a group of disguised 'bandits' with extremely powerful firepower and extremely elite training!
During the period of occupying Laojingou, not only Maozi paid attention to this place, but also the little devils, local gentry and officials in the yamen all had the idea of this gold mine.
But the 'bandits' are too powerful. They have sent out troops time and time again and failed again and again. So far, no one is sure of taking over this gold mine.
Therefore, this gold mine has always been occupied by Li Jie, providing him with a large amount of funds every year.
Half of the military expenditures were provided by Lao Jingou.
However, good times must come to an end. Based on the current situation, it is obviously impossible to continue 'illegal mining' of gold mines.
If they continue to forcibly occupy Lao Jingou, they will inevitably be attacked by the Qing army. Although Li Jie is not afraid, there is really no need. Nowadays, the medicinal materials business has gradually replaced Lao Jingou and become one of the most profitable businesses under Li Jie's influence.
However, evacuating Laojingou Gui does not mean that Li Jie has given up on the gold mine.
This time I went to the north to win the mining rights of the gold mine.
Although taking over the mining area through formal channels will transfer some of the benefits, the benefits obtained are the benefits. If he gives it up, the gold mine will completely miss him.
As a result, all the equipment and funds invested in the early stage were wasted.
Li Jie never engages in loss-making business, so he is bound to win this trip!

…
In the blink of an eye, two days later, Dajinli led a caravan and arrived at the patrol camp station in the dust. This time, the medicinal materials escorted by Dajinli included, in addition to mosquito repellent, sulfonamides that were equivalent to gold.
The war is imminent, how can we avoid sulfa?
Of course, Da Jinli rushed to Tongliao in person, not only to escort the medicinal materials, but more importantly, to report the specific situation of Lao Jingou to Li Jie face to face.
