When he went to the government office in Zhouzhou, Sun Yuan gave a detailed report on the situation in the past few days, and one piece of news caught Li Jie's attention.
Song Ting sent someone here!
What came was a young man named Li Tingzhi.
Li Tingzhi was a Jinshi in the early years of Chunyou and was an aide under Meng Gong, Optimus Prime of the Southern Song Dynasty.
Li Jie glanced at Sun Yuan and asked with interest: "Did this person come alone?"
Sun Yuan shook his head: "There is another person."
"Who?"
"Marshal Meng's second son Meng Zhijin!"
"oh?"
Li Jie exclaimed, as far as he knew, although Meng Gong held a high position and controlled most of the military power in the Southern Song Dynasty, his two sons kept a low profile and rarely interfered in official matters.
He was not surprised that Li Tingzhi came. According to historical records, Meng Gong should have passed away by now. However, the Meng Gong in this world is not only a famous general in the world, the Optimus Prime of the Song Dynasty, but also a grand master.
If the famous general Yue Fei was the mainstay in the early Southern Song Dynasty, then Meng Gong was the pillar of strength in the late Southern Song Dynasty.
After the Song-Mongolian War broke out, Meng Gong single-handedly controlled the war on two-thirds of the front lines in the Southern Song Dynasty.
The Song Dynasty was able to fight the Mongols back and forth, and Meng Gong played an immeasurable role in it. Without him, the situation of the Song Dynasty would have been even more difficult. In the history of the main world, Meng Gong died in the sixth year of Chunyou (1246 year), after his death, the Southern Song Dynasty gradually came to an end.
The Meng Gong of this world did not die of illness. As the Mongols were recently trapped in a whirlpool of internal strife, Meng Gong decisively chose to attack in the opposite direction. Returned to the Song Dynasty.
Yue Fei's lesson is there. Meng Gong was very low-key because of his profound achievements and great achievements. Every time after a war, Meng Gong would hand over his military power to show his loyalty. He would never overly praise his achievements and at the same time strictly order his children to follow the example. The whirlpool entering the court.
As a famous general in the world, Meng Gong naturally has many people who admire him, and Sun Yuan is also one of them.
"President, do you want to meet them?"
Li Jie frowned slightly, thinking silently in his mind as to why Meng Gong would send his son here. If it was official wooing, it would be impossible for only the two of them to come.
One of these two people is Meng Gong's staff, and the other is his son. If he sends them two here at this juncture, isn't he afraid of arousing the emperor's suspicion?
Although Meng Gong's achievements are unparalleled, he has many enemies in the court, and according to the Fuxing Society's intelligence, Lizong's trust in him has begun to waver, and he has expressed his dissatisfaction with Meng Gong in private many times. .
Of course, all this information is top secret, and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty will never know more than one person. In addition, the Mongols have recently reduced their troops to invade the south due to internal strife. Officials who are obsessed with fighting for power and profit have already moved to impeach Meng Gong. With this in mind, many officials are gearing up for a big fight.
Meng Gong can achieve this position, Li Jie doesn't believe that he didn't receive any trouble.
However, even so, Meng Gong still sent his confidants to contact him.
What is his intention?
Did he also come here for the artillery?
Apart from this, Li Jie really couldn't think of any other reason. As a master of strategy, Meng Gong could not fail to see the role of artillery in defense.
I still admire Meng Gong and Li Jie very much. No matter how foolish the Southern Song Dynasty court was, he really managed to protect the land and calm the people.
Although Li Jie had many things on his mind, they were only in one thought.
"Well, please make some arrangements. Well, it's too late today, so maybe we can do it tomorrow."
"Great!" Sun Yuan happily agreed, then his expression changed and he looked at Li Jie eagerly: "Well, President, can I go with you tomorrow?"
Li Jie glanced at him sideways: "It's up to you, as long as you're fine tomorrow."

Mingyue Garden, in the study room.
It has been three days since Li Tingzhi arrived in Dengzhou Mansion. However, the other party only treated him with courtesy but never mentioned the interview. He took a big risk when he came to Dengzhou with the second young master this time. If the marshal hadn't insisted on his own way,
With his character, he would never bypass the court and contact the "Fuxing Society" rashly, not to mention that this time the second young master was traveling with him.
The commander-in-chief seems to have a high position and great glory, but in fact he is already in danger. If the commander-in-chief's enemies find out about this, this move will only make matters worse.
"Xiangfu! Xiangfu!"
Li Tingzhi came to his senses and found that Meng Zhijin had already walked to his side.
"Oh, it's the second young master."
Meng Zhijin laughed and said, "Xiangfu, what were you thinking about just now? I've been calling you for a long time."
"Sorry, I was a little lost in thought just now." Li Tingzhi took a deep breath, showed an apologetic smile, and then sighed and explained: "Oh, it's been three days, and there is still no reply from the Fuxing Society. I'm waiting for you, sir."
My kindness is as great as a mountain. If I return without success this time, how can Xiangfu have the face to see the commander again?"
In the last year of Jiaxi (1240), the defense of the Yangtze River was in critical condition, and Li Tingzhi could not get the provincial election, so he wrote to General Meng Gong of Jingzhou with his strategy and asked to serve the country. Meng Gong was moved by his strategy and met him the next day and had a conversation.
Later, Meng Gong cherished his talent. At that time, there was a military alert in Sichuan, so Meng Gong appointed Li Tingzhi to temporarily serve as the magistrate of Jianshi County in Shizhou.
This is the gift of knowledge!
In the early years of Chunyou (1241), Li Tingzhi left Jianshi County to take part in the imperial examination and passed the imperial examination. Later, he felt grateful for Meng Gong's kindness and returned to Meng Gong as an aide.
Learn from each other.
This is the gift of teaching!
In the sixth year of Chunyou, that is, this year, he was a direct bachelor of Baozhang Pavilion, appointed deputy envoys along the river, knew Jiangzhou and was the pacifier of Jiangxi Road. Jia Sidaoyin built a city in Huaixi and established education (newly built Zhulin Academy). He was good at managing finances and had great political achievements.
Famous and famous, last year Meng Gong recommended Jia Sidao to be promoted to Jinghu Zhizhi Envoy. In September this year, the imperial court approved Meng Gong's recommendation, and Jia Sidao was promoted smoothly. At the same time, Meng Gong recommended Li Tingzhi to succeed Jia Sidao as the deputy governor of Yanjiang Zhizhi.
make.
This is the gift of support!
Li Tingzhi had nothing to repay for his kindness, but he could only do his best in front of the horse and behind the horse, so that one day he would die without any regrets.
"Xiangfu, don't worry. No news at this time is the best news. If the other party has no intention of contacting us, why bother to arrange for us? You can refuse directly."
"I think they should actually discuss our purpose in the past few days."
"I hope!" Li Tingzhi looked up at the bright moon in the sky and murmured.
Meng Gong sent them here this time on the one hand to try to recruit the "Fuxing Society" and to maintain a good relationship even if he failed. Secondly, since they are all Han Chinese, they wanted to see if the other party could provide some assistance. After all, the other party was in
His accomplishments in firearms were unparalleled at that time.
