Crazy at the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 183 Becoming a Guard

After Xue Yufei finished making the rules and asked Mei Yun and Qiongniang to leave the big tent, Xue Yufei immediately put aside the solemn appearance of a woman just now, and flew into Wu Shigong's arms like a bird.

Facing Wu Shigong's unruly hands, Xue Yufei was out of breath immediately.But she struggled to stop Wu Shigong's further actions, and said to Wu Shigong: "Husband, how is the evening?"

Wu Shigong also felt that he was too impatient.After all, it is still daytime now, and many subordinates will come to the big tent to look for him to handle errands.Anyway, at night, the night is long, so there is no need to worry now.

So before dinner, Wu Shigong took Xue Yufei for a stroll in the camp.There's not much else to do either.Wu Shigong took Xue Yufei to his stable.

Now in Wu Shigong's own stable, besides Wu Shigong's own war horse, Ren Lai Crazy, there is also a horse that broke a leg that was rescued from the battlefield that day.

After the horse was rescued, the veterinarian saw that the horse's broken leg could no longer be saved, so he cut off the leg.Unexpectedly, the horse's vitality is very tenacious, and it survived after losing a lot of blood.Wu Shigong also placed the horse in his own stable to allow it to recover from its injuries.

Seeing Wu Shigong's arrival, the injured horse lying on the haystack raised its head excitedly.Wu Shigong took out a handful of black beans from a cloth bag hanging on a wooden post, and fed them to the horse.And the person on the side, Lai Kuang, also put his head in front of his master.

Wu Shigong smiled and patted Ren Lai Mad on the head, and scolded: "You gluttonous guy, get out of here." But after cursing, Wu Shigong still took out a handful of black beans and fed them to Ren Lai Mad.

When Xue Yufei saw the horse's broken leg, her female sex immediately flooded.She touched the horse's mane pitifully, and also grabbed a handful of black beans to feed the horse.While feeding, he said: "Little poor, eat slowly."

The couple started talking while feeding the horse.Xue Yufei asked Wu Shigong: "Husband, when can you go back to the capital?"

Wu Shigong shook his head and said: "Impossible in a short period of time. Don't say that I have an errand, just because the Tartars hit the capital this time, it can be seen that the capital is not very safe. I have already discussed it with Lord Hou. .I will find a retreat for our Xue Mansion in Henan. Just in case..., alas——! I hope there is no case. It’s just that it’s going to hurt you.”

Wu Shigong stroked Xue Yufei's long hair and asked, "How is your son?"

"Lin'er is very naughty. The Marquis and Madam spoiled him so much that he is out of shape. He makes trouble every day, but it's a pity that his father is not around." Xue Yufei took the opportunity to persuade Wu Shigong to return to the capital.

Wu Shigong pretended not to understand, and said: "It's nothing if a boy is restless. But in a year or two, it's time to find a teacher to teach him. Don't just teach him to read and write. Bow and fist I need to learn a little bit of kung fu. I have laid some foundations in Henan, and I don’t want that kid to inherit it by then.”

After hearing Wu Shigong's words, Xue Yufei raised her head suddenly, her eyes were shining brightly.She quickly kissed Wu Shigong on the cheek, and shyly shrank back into Wu Shigong's arms.

Wu Shigong went on to say: "It's been hard for you all these years. Even the Xue Mansion helped me subsidize more than 6000 taels of silver. This time I got some silver from selling land in Luanzhou, so I left 1 taels in Xue's Mansion."

Many of the guards that Wu Shigong brought out from the capital at that time deposited their excess silver with Wu Shigong and entrusted Wu Shigong to take it back to his home in the capital.Wu Shigong didn't bring a lot of money back to the capital, but just sent back a bill, and his father-in-law Xue Lian helped Wu Shigong pay for it.

Xue Yufei drew circles on Wu Shigong's chest with her fingers, and said, "It's nothing. The Marquis also said that your husband is living a hard life in Henan, and the Xue family can still afford subsidies."

After a while, Xue Yufei finally couldn't hold back and asked: "I heard that my husband married several concubines in Henan. The concubine also brought some gifts to those younger sisters and children this time. But why is there another Qiong today?" Mother?"

Wu Shigong was a little embarrassed after hearing this.He had no choice but to change the subject and said, "Actually, I miss you very much too. When I go back this time and settle down, I will take you here to live with me."

"Yeah!" Xue Yufei nodded happily, and then said a little worriedly: "What about Lin'er?"

"If he's older, let him come too."

"Husband, there is one more thing I need to discuss with you. Mei Yun and the others are grown up, how will you arrange them?"

Wu Shigong was very surprised, and he replied: "You can decide this matter. Just find them a good family and marry them."

"It's not like that. Some of them don't want to get married and want to follow us." Xue Yufei was also a little cautious. She didn't spend much time with Wu Shigong herself, so she wanted her maids to stay with Wu Shigong just like Zhu Yun. By her side, Xue Yufei was a firm favorite.

"You can do it yourself." Wu Shigong didn't want to worry too much about such a trivial matter, Wu Shigong continued, "I have one thing for you, this time you go back to Beijing and bring back Xue Qiang and those dead guards. Go to Xue's house. Take good care of their family members, too many people have died in beating the Tartars this time."

Seeing Wu Shigong's mood was a bit depressed, Xue Yufei rubbed Wu Shigong with her smooth body, Wu Shigong's interest suddenly rose again, he turned over and pushed Xue Yufei down again...

Wu Shigong and Xue Yufei spent a total of four days in such a fairy-like life. At this time, Eunuch Qin, who delivered the oracle, was accompanied by Qin Liangyu, Ma Xianglin, and another deputy commander of Baiganbing, passing through Luanzhou City to return to the capital. .Xue Yufei could only part with Wu Shigong reluctantly.

Wu Shigong asked Qin Liangyu and the others to bring the coffins of Xue Qiang and other dozen seriously wounded people and the dozen soldiers living in the capital back to the Xue Mansion in the capital.And told Xue Yufei to take good care of the wounded and arrange the funeral of the dead.

After Qin Liangyu left, King Shangqin's Ming army also returned in some places, passing by Luanzhou City.When the generals in the Ming army learned that Wu Shigong had nearly [-] Tartar heads in his hands, they all asked Wu Shigong to buy them.

Now Wu Shigong is very clear about the situation of the heads of Tartars.He already knew the news of his promotion from Eunuch Qin, and also knew that for this promotion, he only needed about a hundred Tartar heads in his hands.Therefore, Wu Shigong agreed to the purchase request of those generals.

However, now Wu Shigong has no shortage of silver in his hands, so Wu Shigong proposed to the generals to exchange the heads of these Tartars with horses, armor and artillery.

But horses and armor are the foundation of those generals, and these generals are not willing to exchange them.They are only interested in exchanging artillery.Of course, they are absolutely unwilling to exchange things like the General Cannon and the General Cannon. What they are willing to exchange are the small-caliber Tiger Crouching Cannon and the Franc Machine Cannon.

In the end, Wu Shigong exchanged nearly 23 Tartar heads for [-] tiger crouching guns and Flang machine guns.And seeing Wu Shigong's expression of suffering, those generals also gave Wu Shigong a lot of gunpowder.

In addition, as a gift, those generals also gave Wu Shigong more than a dozen craftsmen who can repair artillery.This made Wu Shigong feel like a treasure.

From this point of view, among the generals of the Ming army at that time, they still affirmed the role of large-caliber artillery in siege.But they really seriously underestimated the role of small artillery in field battles.It is very contemptuous of those craftsmen who can build artillery.But Wu Shigong knew that since those craftsmen could repair cannons, they would definitely be able to fire them. After a little training, they would be qualified artillerymen.

After Qin Liangyu arrived in the capital, Emperor Chongzhen summoned her again on the platform.During this summons, Emperor Chongzhen personally gave Qin Liangyu three imperial poems written by himself.

After deliberation by the cabinet and the approval of Emperor Chongzhen, the rewards for the meritorious soldiers who recovered the four cities of Yongping were also quickly given.Because Wu Shigong stopped the reinforcements of the Later Jin army when he conquered Luanzhou City, and gained the military merits of nearly a hundred Tartar heads, he was transferred to a soldier and guarded the Runing Mansion.

However, although the garrison of Wu Shigong's Runing Mansion is rated at 200 soldiers, because Runing Mansion originally had a local Thousand Households Office, this Thousand Households Office will also be placed under Wu Shigong's command this time, so Wu Shigong also Only 1000 or [-] soldiers can be paid.

And this arrangement of the imperial court is nothing more than following the principle of relative size.Because in this way, Wu Shigong basically has no influence on the Thousand Households Office in Runing Mansion.

However, Wu Shigong was quite satisfied with this appointment.Because Wu Shigong's current foundation is entirely in the Thousand Households House near Runing Mansion in Guide Mansion, and in the northern mountainous area of ​​Runing Mansion.By controlling his apprentice Tao Xin, Wu Shigong can completely expand his territory without losing his original foundation.And I can get some military pay from the court to some extent, so I can raise more soldiers.
