The little eunuch was one of Cao Huachun's godsons, and he was a very clever and capable little guy. He described the scene when Cao Huachun was speaking to Liu Pei in detail, recounting every sentence Cao Huachun said, and even imitating the tone vividly. There was no addition or deletion at all, so that Liu Pei had an intuitive feeling.

Cao Huachun told Liu Pei through the mouth of the little eunuch that the emperor had no expression after he was given the memorial. He waited more than ten days later before he called Cao Huachun and returned the memorial to him, but there was no instruction from him. He just said to Cao Huachun and understood.

As far as Cao Huachun understood, the emperor should have acquiesced to this matter. But what caught Cao Huachun off guard was that the eunuch in Shandong suddenly changed people! The new eunuch in charge was a very inconspicuous eunuch and had nothing to do with Cao Huachun and others. Even the other eunuchs brought by this eunuch were drawn from some ordinary eunuchs.

Cao Huachun didn't say it clearly, but Liu Pei understood the meaning. His Majesty did not want his confidant eunuch to have too deep connection with the commander-in-chief outside.

Liu Pei could understand Emperor Chongzhen's idea. He would do this if he had done so. However, Liu Pei secretly mocked Emperor Chongzhen's tricks because it had no effect at all.

Emperor Chongzhen completely overestimated the loyalty of those eunuchs to him. You should know that the higher the person, the clearer he could see some things.

Since Emperor Chongzhen sentenced Wei Zhongxian to death, except for a few eunuchs, most eunuchs will no longer really serve Emperor Chongzhen!

You should know that the existence of eunuchs is completely dependent on the imperial power. Once the trust of the imperial power is not obtained, eunuchs will not get any rights! They will inevitably rely on other forces.

Emperor Chongzhen had long told the eunuchs about what he did that Emperor Chongzhen had never trusted them. Therefore, they would only do things for their own interests, and could only take advantage of the power to Emperor Chongzhen, rather than serve sincerely. Cao Huachun chose Liu Pei as the force he had formed.

Besides, Emperor Chongzhen didn't think about how those eunuchs could have the power to restrain the generals? They had neither the Jinyiwei nor the Dongchang in their hands, and they only rely on one.

How many people can open your mouth and scare you? Maybe Liu Pei will throw a lot of money over, and they will run over happily to bow and kowtow to Liu Pei!

Liu Pei and Fan Hualong discussed for a long time, and after seeing him off, he kept looking through various documents in the study. He did not return to the backyard until a maid came to urge him.

Early the next morning, seven or eight teams of people left Jinan and rushed to various parts of Shandong. Each team consisted of 50 people, and these 50 people were all soldiers with strong combat power and were specially selected.

They will implement the first step of Liu Pei's plan and alert the enemy! In other words, they went this time to specifically capture some military officers in the garrison. Liu Pei wanted to test the attitudes of other military officers and local military officers through this action.

As the highest commander of a guard, Xie Yingting was already the sixth generation of his inheritance. His ancestor followed the King of Yan, who had gone south, stayed here after being injured, and finally became a hereditary officer of the garrison.

Therefore, Xie Yingting sometimes complained that his ancestor was not lucky and could not climb up any further. He was just a small military officer in the garrison, just a hereditary thousand households.

Xie Yingting independently manages a thousand-household office and more than a dozen villages below. As the population proliferates, more and more villages are growing, and the population is growing. His jurisdiction is getting bigger. Of course, his scope of wealth is getting bigger!

So Xie Yingting's life has always been wonderful. The only thing that makes Xie Yingting unhappy is that he can collect some sea salt from a village near the sea, and sell it to private salt dealers to make a lot of profits. But there is a group of private salt dealers in Shandong that actually unified the world! Now he actually goes over him and collects salt directly from the village! This makes Xie Yingting lose a profit directly.

But Xie Yingting was not angry, so he could only sigh helplessly. Because Xie Yingting knew too well what his soldiers looked like.

The soldiers under his command have not picked up swords and guns for several generations. They have completely degenerated into farmers who only know how to farm. And even if they dare to pick up swords and guns, Xie Yingting did not have enough armor and weapons to supply them. Because except for the warehouse, a bunch of rags used to recharge the numbers.

In addition, he sold all the things he could sell!

So he and his men absolutely cannot defeat those vicious private salt dealers. Moreover, he does not think that there will be war here. When there is war, it will naturally be driven by the tall ones!

As a local emperor, Xie Yingting has the ability to become stronger and worse, and toss the bones and marrows! Relying on his more than 20 servants and a small team of soldiers who could barely eat, he controlled thousands of military families to the death!

Moreover, he completely emptied the public fields of the garrison, divided all the fields into his own name, and drove the military households to open up land, and divided the fields into his own name again. As for the public fields in the garrison, there was a large area of ​​rubble beach and saline-alkali land outside, which was there, which was definitely correct!

So after Xie Yingting's bone-knocking and marrow-sucking, the population in the Thousand Households fled one after another. The remaining people did not say that they did not want to escape, but that they could not escape with their families. This made Xie Yingting even more proud!

It would be fine if Xie Yingting himself was just keen on making money, but he and his son both had a common hobby, that is, they like good women! So bullying men and women happens from time to time here!

When their father and son are in a good mood, they will lose some money or food as compensation. When they are in a bad mood, they may even beat the woman's family! In this way, his reputation becomes very poor!

Even in the circle of military officers in the garrison, there are many people who are not ashamed of his character. However, Xie Yingting was not ashamed but proud, and continued to do more and more. However, he didn't know that his rule had long become a crater.

However, Xie Yingting clearly felt something was wrong these days! When he was out wandering, the military households looked at him no longer hatred and hatred, but a strange look.

If Xie Yingting had been on the battlefield, he would understand that it was a kind of look at people.

When Xie Yingting discovered this situation, it had been three months since Liu Pei returned to Jinan. How could Liu Pei do nothing in such a long time?
