After the closing of the first Jiaodong Qing Dynasty Conference, it was time for Deng Ming to say goodbye.

During this period, Zu Zepu intercepted a large number of troops and food and fodder transferred to the south by the Qing court to piece together his army and declared to the court that he would attack Jiaodong again. No matter how fierce Zu Zepu called, Deng Ming knew that his purpose was to resist more than a few days when the Ming army attacked Jinan. Moreover, Zu Zepu had no confidence in this wish, otherwise he would not have sent people to Dengzhou to mediate the war between the Fuqing Army and the Qing army. The Shandong Governor spared no effort to persuade the Qing army to surrender to the Fuqing Army, which was obviously to make a good relationship with the Fuqing Army and lay the foundation for the future reunion action.

In addition to taking this opportunity to meet the Fuqing Council, the Jinan government also allowed a large number of Green Camp officers to enter the Fuqing Army. In the future, when recruiting the amnesty, there would be more people within the Fuqing Army shaking flags and shouting for the Shandong Governor. However, whether it was Zu Zepu or the Gentleman House, they knew that this amnesty still required Deng Ming to nod in the end.

On the 27th, Jinan, Laizhou and Deng Ming held secret talks.

"In the short term, I will not send a large army to the land of Jiaodong, nor will I launch an attack from Jiaodong." Deng Ming did not define the words "short term" and "army", but said that these issues need to be resolved in subsequent negotiations. However, this guarantee is very important to Zu Zepu. Only when Deng Ming makes this guarantee, the hawks among the gentry of Jiaodong know that it is impossible to get assistance will give up the offensive plan of standing up and taking risks and be satisfied with accepting the Qing court's amnesty with everyone.

"But the Governor of Shandong should ensure the autonomy of Jiaodong," Deng Ming continued. The previous words were to warn the hawks in Jiaodong, and this one was to suppress the ambitions of the Jinan government: "Ensure that you have made every effort to maintain the status quo in Jiaodong."

"I really want to determine all the specific issues with the Governor of Shandong, but this may not be possible overnight." In addition, Deng Ming also said that he should not be the subject of the negotiations, and he would rather play the role of a witness: "But I know that there is a person with a very good reputation. If he can recruit and support the Qing army, the agreement will definitely be fully implemented."

The plenipotentiary representative sent from Jinan looked at Deng Ming seriously: "Please speak with Duke Baoguo."

"The Yangtze River Suppression of Premier Deng." Deng Ming raised the name of Zhou Peigong without hesitation. Zhou Peigong is now the official title of governor of five provinces and is a well-known expert on Deng Ming's issue. No matter how arrogant Deng Ming's army is, as long as Zhou Peigong arrives, he can quickly make up for the losses and eliminate the impact.

Hearing this sentence, the envoy of Jinan's privy party could not help but show a hint of admiration. He suddenly felt that the situation in front of him might be the legendary "emotional appreciation". Although both sides are the enemy of life and death, they have no reservations about the other party's character. It is said that this kind of thing will only happen between two truly powerful heroes.

"In other words, as long as Lord Zhou comes to handle this matter, will Duke Bao be completely relieved?"

"Yes," Deng Ming nodded: "If Zhou Buzheng can serve as the Shandong governor and be responsible for the affairs of recruiting Jiaodong, then I will ignore this matter and will not worry."

Even though the Qing army showed obvious desire to be recruited, Zu Zepu's desire was equally strong. This still cannot guarantee success in recruiting, because both sides will doubt each other. After recruiting, capricious things will occur. Coupled with Deng Ming's influence, this kind of recruiting may become a loss-making loss, and the result is a bunch of human heads and black hats.

In order to piece together his siege troops, Zu Zepu prevented many Qing soldiers from moving south. If Jieshu's "great victory" was not recognized, Jieshu would definitely promote Zu Zepu's small actions behind his back to excuse his defeat. If the Qing court still planned to protect Jieshu, Zu Zepu would have to bear all the responsibility for the failure of Huaiyang - although there were thousands of miles between them, who made him a watchdog, and Jieshu was a cousin.

Therefore, Zu Zepu not only had to ensure the smooth progress of the recruitment, but also prayed all day long that the officials in Liangjiang did not add to the insult, hoping that the court would pretend to be deaf and dumb to Jieshu's defeat in order to save face.

"Although Beijing cannot believe the rumors of Prince Kang's defeat, it must be quelled. Otherwise, the court may be deceived if the three men become tigers." Unexpectedly, Deng Ming also mentioned this matter in person, and also pointed out the biggest concern of Jinan: "In the past year, the governor of Shandong has been scolding Liangjiang, Huguang and Zhejiang, and they have been criticized for betraying Jun's favor and being punished for his death. If these governors also believed the rumors, they all came out to accuse the governor of Shandong for intercepting troops. This was the reason for the small setback of the Qing army in Huaiyang. I wonder how the governor planned to deal with it?"

How to deal with yourself? This is simply unsolvable. Zu Zepu cannot publicly refute it, let alone say that Prince Kang or the Minister of the Responsible Ebilong is the culprit.

"I heard that the relationship between the governor Zhou and the governors of the Southeast are very good." Deng Ming added with a smile.

...

In this catastrophe in Shandong, the most tragic thing was that the people around Yashan were repeatedly looted by officers and soldiers and bandits, and a large number of people died at the hands of past officers and soldiers and rebels who collected grain. Although Yu Qi was thinking about his hometown feelings, the Allied Army that rebelled together could not open his eyes and refused to give grain. He could not turn against his fellow people for the sake of a few people. The Qing army not only took away everything from the people, but also bombed all the survivors into the mountainous areas of Yashan just to accelerate the consumption of the rebels' food.

Now, the green camp in other places has left with Prince Kang, and as long as the Qing army left behind did not resist to the end and was not eliminated by the Qing army, it has transformed into the Qing army. The worst thing is to take the severance fee and return to farm.

Yu Qi and the heroes joined the Qing Dynasty Parliament. If there is no accident, they will accept the recruitment and will not have to worry about losing their lives in the short term.

Prince Kang, Zu Zepu and others who ordered the massacre and drove away the people lived a good life and might have forgotten all their orders long ago - the prince and the governor would not always care about the lives and deaths of thousands of people.

After losing together, a large number of Yashan refugees were taken to Laizhou in a hunger manner. A few of them were left behind by local gentry as tenants, and a few strong and outstanding appearances also found their benefactors to sign the contract for sale, but most of them were still struggling in the cold wind and barely survived by a little bit of charity.

After the Qing Dynasty passed the military camp in the forbidden sea area, the refugees received a little more ration because they needed these laborers to work in the forbidden sea area. Deng Ming saw with his own eyes that the refugees were all happy and glad that they finally had a way out. He kowtowed to the representatives of the House who read the news. If the House of Gentlemen failed to pass this resolution, no one would be willing to give indefinitely, and Yashan Yuqi would not agree to the people returning home immediately for military considerations. The strong male may be able to survive this winter and become a beggar, and will not be allowed to return home until the threat of war is completely lifted.

Tens of thousands of refugees with family members showed a glimmer of hope in their eyes. These farmers were forced to come to a completely unfamiliar foreign land, with nothing but ragged clothes on their bodies. The resolution to launch a military camp in the forbidden sea area gives these refugees the opportunity to support their wives, children, and children through labor, so that their whole family will not die of starvation. Just hearing this news made the refugees cheer with joy, and they had to endure cruel exploitation and exploitation in their future lives for this opportunity.

The Qing Dynasty House has announced a state-owned policy for land and oceans in the sea ban area, which makes landlords near the coast unable to take the opportunity to enclose land, so they will not have the ability to recruit tenants. The state-owned policy is of course also effective for these refugees, so the refugees do not have the opportunity to obtain their own land, and they will not easily let them return home if they join military camps in the future.

"Your land has become a battlefield. The rebels used your wheat seedlings to feed their horses and ate your plowing oxen. Then the Qing army came, and they drove you out of their homes, burned your houses, forced you to drag your children and run to Yashan..." Deng Ming ordered the guards to gather these refugees and give them a speech: "When there is no food, your children are eaten first. Finally, Yashan was lifted out of the siege, and you were taken to this completely unfamiliar place. If the Qing army came in the future, they would massacre you; under the rule of the Qing army to destroy the Ming army, you might be better, but you still have no chance to get your own land; although not too far from your hometown, you will probably never go back in your life, because the military camp requires a lot of labor..."

Listening to Deng Ming's speech, the silent crowd hung their heads, and sadness and sorrow appeared on their faces, which had suffered too much suffering.

"Do you know why you have such a fate?"

With Deng Ming's problem, a small number of refugees raised their heads and suddenly showed rage in their eyes.

"Because you don't resist." Deng Ming sighed. When he saw these refugees, he finally suppressed the urge to become a revolutionary.

"The proletariats all over the world are united!" Deng Ming recited silently in his heart. When he looked at these refugees, he sometimes really wanted to yell, but Deng Ming always remembered that he was an imperialist.

"Because you can't resist." Deng Ming said in a stressful tone. After saying that, he pulled a merchant from western Sichuan to his side and faced these refugees side by side: "If you don't want to be driven out of your hut again, if you don't want to work hard all year round, your children will starve to death in the end. Well, this is the boss of Louhangyilou from Sichuan and the boss of the arms store. He will often come to Jiaodong coast to operate business. You can buy him bows and arrows, military crossbow machines, steel knives and spears."

...

"These people's income is probably less than ordinary tenants, right?" After the speech, Lou Hangyi asked Deng Ming: "How can they be willing to spend money on expensive weapons?"
