As Zhou Mengchen expected.

Yang Bo also reminded Wang Chonggu, saying, "Zhou Mengchen is extremely ruthless. Qi Jiguang's trip is not just about fighting. It's just that we have a lot of interests in Liaodong. Zhou Mengchen doesn't care, we can't ignore it. You must be worthy of your trip. It's related to Yang Zhao's death. Of course, you can't stay. If you don't kill a few people to sacrifice the flag, you really think that Yang Bo is old and can't lift the knife. It's just that you will never expand."

Wang Chonggu had a little bitterness in his mouth.

He couldn't say that Yang Bo was wrong. But he knew very well that his situation was very difficult.

The reason why Yang Bo did not want Zhou Mengchen to start a massacre and clean up all the Liaodong Guard Officers' Group. On the one hand, he was worried about chaos. Although the officers of the Liaodong Guard Office and the almost separatist military group of the Guanning Army today, the Liaodong Guard Officers' Group has been in a group for more than one day or two.

During the Wanli period, Emperor Wanli could not transfer the Liaodong Army, so he could only let Li Chengliang, who was in his seventies or eighties, come out again to be the general officer.

But the ice is not cold in one day. The Liaodong army did not join forces since the Wanli Dynasty. Instead, it was found very early. The Liaodong area has always been the private place for these families. Liaodong officers enjoy more rights, military power, and administrative power than other local garrison officers. Because of this, they are so powerful.

More importantly, Shanxi merchants cooperated with these people.

As the spokesperson of Shanxi merchants, Yang Bo served in Liaodong for some time, and Shanxi merchants entered the Northeast in a large-scale manner. He cooperated with these officers and monopolized the Northeast ginseng and fur business. Shanxi merchants had cooperation and competition with these local snakes.

The biggest conflict between them was the military reform chaired by Yang Bo.

Zhou Mengchen was very dissatisfied with Yang Bo's military reform in Liaodong, but he didn't know that in Yang Bo's opinion, he had paid a great price. If everything was maintained, then of course it would be good for you and I, everyone. Nothing would happen, and the conflict between the two sides would eventually reach the point of collusion with the Mongolians.

It was Yang Bo who seized some military power from these people and established several camp soldiers, mainly composed of Yang Zhao's troops, that were more in line with Zhou Mengchen's requirements.

Perhaps, some people think that those in Liaodong cannot do this, that is, to see how Li Rusong died. How the Zhejiang army was destroyed by their own people in North Korea. Russo and so on.

Although Yang Bo has been thinking about the Liaodong Weisou family in this situation, these families have been in Liaodong since their founding of the country, and have not been without a backer in the court. Fengrunbo Cao family is their open backer.

Cao Yi, the first generation of Fengrunbo, started his career in Liaodong. Both sides have always been connected. Even some of the branches of the Fengrunbo family took root in Liaodong.

On the one hand, Yang Bo has to take care of Zhou Mengchen's ideas. On the other hand, he is unwilling to offend local tyrants, which also concerns the commercial interests of Shanxi merchants.

Wang Chonggu still knew Yang Bo's ideas. However, he had been a subordinate of Zhou Mengchen and knew in particular what kind of person Zhou Mengchen was. He was a person with a firm will and would never give up until he achieved his goal.

He didn't think that Zhou Mengchen would let the Liaodong group go.

In his opinion, Zhou Mengchen is a man with a broad mind and doesn't care much about personal grudges. That is, if you offend him, Zhou Mengchen will not care too much as long as he has a good attitude. However, Zhou Mengchen does not care about personal grudges, but holds public grudges. If he resists certain policies of Zhou Mengchen, even if Lanzhi is the gate, he will have to be eliminated, let alone these Liaodong troops, there is no such thing as Lanzhi's not Lanzhi.

He reconciled the contradictions inside, and he would definitely be unfamiliar inside and outside.

Yang Bo is so old that he has some misalignment in his positioning.

His positioning of Zhou Mengchen was still a few years ago, and he had not yet tied Zhou Mengchen with Xu Jie, Yan Song and others.

This illusion is easy for older people to younger people, just like in the eyes of parents, children will be children all their lives, even in their seventies and eighties. By the same token, Yang Bo is much older than Zhou Mengchen. He was a younger brother back then, but now he has gone up, he still feels that the other person is his younger brother in his heart.

But Wang Chonggu could not say these words to Yang Bo.

I can only say: "Please don't worry, Mr. Yang, I will definitely make the situation in Liaodong as calm as possible."

Wang Chonggu talks about peace. As for how to calm, it is another matter.

Liaodong is about to take shape. But there is a real big event, which is next year, that is, the 43rd year of Jiajing. It takes time to prepare for and carry out a big battle.

Zhou Mengchen is going to make plans in another aspect.

The three major issues of military reform are Liaodong, Northwest Generals, and Yunnan Mu Family.

Since Zhou Mengchen has almost handled the matter in Liaodong, he naturally has to focus on the other ends. To be honest, the order in which Zhou Mengchen handles affairs is still easy to start and then difficult to deal with Liaodong first because Liaodong is relatively easy to deal with. Although the Liaodong army is not weak, it is even stronger than the Mu family in the southwest, these strong towns are all here.

The strength and weakness are relative.

The local barbarians are openly conquered and the problems within the Liaodong army are secretly solved. Defeat, abolish, win, and be promoted elsewhere. As long as you move, there is always a way to solve them.

And the Mu family in Yunnan has some problems.

The Mu family in Yunnan is deeply rooted in Yunnan. If it is really moved for no reason, it will really shake the southwest pillar. But unfortunately, the head of the Mu family in Yunnan is not without any problems. After Zhou Mengchen's detailed investigation, he immediately found a lot of black materials.

Now the Duke of Qian is Mu Chaobi.

In Zhou Mengchen's view, the first thing is that he has gained a wrong position.

Mu Chaobi was not the first heir. After his brother died, the title was on his nephew. However, his nephew was only six years old, and he took charge of military power. Then the six-year-old nephew died. Even if his nephew died, the title was his second nephew according to the rules of the Ming Dynasty. The court asked him to send his nephew and biological mother to Nanjing, and then his nephew died again.

Although the rate of infant death in ancient times was not low, Zhou Mengchen still could not believe it, which is a coincidence.

There is no such coincidence in the world.

In this way, Brother Mu Chaobi's lineage was extinct and the title fell on his head.

This incident was an old thing from more than ten years ago. It was difficult to investigate. The court was when the Tartars were at the city and had no intention of caring about these things. Some people even deliberately covered them. On the one hand, Mu Chaobi did a lot of work. On the other hand, it is very likely that the court did not want such a big scandal, and he was even more unwilling to have a descendant of the Duke of Qian.

But how can people who can do such things be peaceful and peaceful?

Shortly after he became Duke of Qian, he used the excuse of the chieftain's rebellion and wanted the court to seek the right to act with advantage. That is, he had the right to take action first and then report in the military. With this power, he fought several battles and all won.

This is also why the court regarded him as the southwest pillar.

In fact, many people think that there is a possibility that there is something wrong with this. But they are not too concerned. On the one hand, it is because of the power of the Mu family. Many people dare not be troubled. On the other hand, Yunnan is too far from the court. In the eyes of many court officials, they don’t care at all, what is the authenticity of Yunnan’s news. As long as there is no trouble, Mu Chaobi can stabilize the situation in the southwest, and he will do some small moves himself, and he will investigate it more.

After all, when hiring people, you need to look at the big festival, not the small festival.

However, Zhou Mengchen sent someone to investigate, and He Xinyin personally went to the southwest and concluded that all the victory of the Duke of Qian was not fake, but they had been planning for a long time. For the chieftains who could be defeated, they blackmailed them and asked them to pay money and bribe them. If they failed, they would give troops on the excuse. Anyway, he had the right to take action first and then report. He fought the chieftains' army and made a fortune.

If this is the case, although Zhou Mengchen thinks Mu Chaobi is not a good person, he doesn't think there is anything wrong.

After all, for more than 200 years of Ming Dynasty, it has been cracking down on chieftains. There are so many chieftains in Yunnan, so it is best to change all the land and return them to the current. However, what happened next made Zhou Mengchen absolutely unbearable.

For those toasts who are strong and Mu Chaobi feel that they can't beat them, or they will suffer too much loss, they have another face.
