Crazy at the end of the Ming Dynasty

() Although Li Lu and Wan Wendong are under house arrest by Wu Shigong, their living conditions are still good.Now the two of them are drinking realgar wine and eating the male crab that Wu Shigong sent.And the hands of these two people are now covered with crab paste.

Wan Wendong was already a little drunk, so he had the courage to ask Li Lu, "Li Shoubei, Wu Shoubei is going out this time, is there any chance of success?"

Then Li Lu drank too much wine, and he replied with a big tongue: "Aren't you worried about my brother-in-law? Back then, he killed a character who entered and exited seven times among tens of thousands of rioters. This time He'll be fine if he goes out."

"But Wu Shoubei's soldiers and horses should be similar to yours. He trapped us both, and didn't want your soldiers and servants to help. With his small number of troops, it should be difficult to get rid of the 4000 or so miners. People and horses!"

Wan Wendong's words also made Li Lu somewhat suspicious.He knew how Wu Shigong wiped out the rioters of the Holy Spirit Society.The tactics adopted at that time were, in modern terminology, "beheading tactics".So now Li Lu really has no idea about Wu Shigong, who has so few people, going head-to-head with more than 4000 miners who are making trouble.Of course, Li Lu's doubts were also because Li Lu thought that Wu Shigong's military strength was similar to his own, and he didn't know Wu Shigong's exact military strength at all.

But Li Lu couldn't relax, after all, he and Wu Shigong were also related.So after hesitating for a while, Li Lu still said: "My brother-in-law, there is absolutely no problem in defeating those rebellious miners. However, it is quite troublesome for those miners to be scattered on various hills, and we may need those who are familiar with the situation at that time." Locals help."

In fact, Wan Wendong has already heard what Li Lu said, and he has already left a way out for himself.However, Wan Wendong didn't try to wear it, because this statement was similar to Wan Wendong's own estimate.

But at this moment, the gate of the house where they were placed under house arrest suddenly opened, and they saw Yang Rusong walking over unhurriedly.

Both Li Lu and Wan Wendong's hearts skipped a beat.This counts the time, Wu Shigong's army should have just arrived in Nanyang Mansion not long ago!Wu Shigong sent the captain of his own soldiers to find them so quickly. Could it be that Wu Shigong's army is not fighting well with the rebellious miners, and they really need the help of their soldiers and servants?

Both Li Lu and Wan Wendong stood up unknowingly, and Wan Wendong forced a smile on his face and asked, "General Manager Yang, what does Wu Shoubei want to see us for?"

Yang Rusong also nodded with a smile and said: "Our lord has said that it is too slow to entertain you these few days. I hope you can clean up. After an hour, you and our lord will leave for Nanyang Mansion together."

The bad feeling in Li Lu and Wan Wendong's hearts became stronger. The two of them glanced at each other, and Wan Wendong wiped his dirty hands on his clothes without hesitation, and immediately took out a ten tael silver coin from his pocket. Yuan Bao forced it into Yang Rusong's hand and asked, "Boss Yang, something must have happened to go to Nanyang Mansion in such a hurry. Please tell me quickly. If you have any difficulties and need our help, we are willing to define it."

Yang Rusong was still listening to Wan Wendong's words with a smile at the beginning, but when he heard the last sentence, Yang Rusong was obviously taken aback, he knew that Wan Wendong must be thinking about something wrong.

So Yang Rusong tossed the silver ingot in his hand up and down, laughed for a while, then threw the silver ingot on Wan Wendong and said, "Where did you think, our lord has already mined all the iron ore?" The purpose of going to Nanyang Mansion with you this time is to accept the iron mine."

Yang Rusong really didn't take the ten taels of silver seriously. In his current home, there are two CEOs, Yang Goudan and Yang Goudan's wife. Yang Rusong himself has become an out-and-out rich and handsome man. How could he accept this mere ten taels of silver?

Besides, Yang Rusong, as the captain of Wu Shigong's personal army, has a bright future, and Wu Shigong's army has very strict disciplines, and he is not allowed to collect money from others without permission, so it is impossible for Yang Rusong to do anything to destroy his future.

Yang Rusong didn't care about these two people any more, and while enjoying the astonished gazes of Li Lu and Wan Wendong, he turned around and walked away.

After a while, the two of them recovered from their astonishment, and Wan Wendong said to Li Lu with some stuttering: "This is really, this is really..."

However, Li Lu suddenly became angry. He interrupted Wan Wendong and said in an airy manner: "What is this really? This is my brother-in-law!"

Not to mention that Li Lu and Wan Wendong would be surprised, Wu Shigong was also taken aback when he received the battle report sent by Zhou Xun quickly.Unexpectedly, the 4000 soldiers who were just their vanguards put down more than [-] rebellious miners.

But after being surprised, Wu Shigong was ecstatic immediately.So awesome!Na Hefei and Shumo are both Wu Shigong's own slaves, and even Xue Yongli's servants of the Xue family are a level behind these two.As the master, Wu Shigong really felt honored by the performance of these two house slaves!

But along with the battle report, there was Zhou Xun's request for help.After Zhou Xun's main force arrived, on the one hand, he quickly took control of the situation.With the main force, he swept away all the main gathering points of the miners.

It should be said that Zhou Xun did not encounter any resistance, and those miners were frightened by Wu Shigong's army.Zhou Xun also organized an armed patrol.

But on the other hand, Zhou Xun couldn't control the situation.After Wu Shigong's army laid down the iron ore, the former private mine owners sent people to Zhou Xun's place one after another, politely asking Zhou Xun to return their iron ore.

Of course, the owners of these private mines were also afraid that this kind of behavior was looking for death, so they didn't show up themselves, that is, they sent some young people to test Zhou Xun's attitude.

But Zhou Xun knew that Wu Shigong would cooperate with these private mine owners in the future.Of course, Zhou Xun didn't know the detailed agreement between Wu Shigong and these private mine owners, so he could only politely chat and procrastinate.That is, it does not say to return it, and it does not say that it will not be returned.

But this attitude suddenly gave confidence to those private mine owners.Those private mine bosses already knew that Zhou Xun's army was the soldiers of Wu Shigong's Runing Battalion.They also know that their representative, Wan Wendong, is discussing with Wu Shigong in the Runing mansion about sending troops from the Runing camp to help them take back the iron ore.So now these private mine bosses know that Zhou Xun's army has no malicious intentions towards them.

But on the other hand, these private mine owners have no idea what agreement Wan Wendong and Wu Shigong reached.Because both Li Lu and Wan Wendong are under house arrest by Wu Shigong.

So these private mine owners can only guess by themselves. Of course, they are afraid of Wu Shigong who has laid down the iron mine, so they just seized the iron mine.So they came to Zhou Xun with the title deeds of the hills that owned iron mines, hoping that Zhou Xun would return those hills to the private mine owners first.

In the minds of those private mine owners, as long as the iron ore is in their own hands, they will have a lot of advantages in future negotiations with Wu Shigong.Of course, the owners of these private mines will not ask extravagantly, Wu Shigong will return the iron ore to them selflessly, but those owners of private mines also think that Wu Shigong is an officer after all, and he will not do that kind of preemptive thing.

Of course, these private mine owners would not come to Zhou Xun with empty teeth, they must have brought a lot of gold, silver and women.But this situation made Zhou Xun very anxious.

If those private mine bosses used force to force them, or even threatened Zhou Xun, then Zhou Xun would definitely shake his muscles unceremoniously.But those private mine bosses came softly, offering heavy gifts and talking good words.This kind of pleading like a dog's skin plaster made Zhou Xun a little bit overwhelmed.

So Zhou Xun could only shrink back in his own camp, refusing to see visitors, but those private mine bosses relentlessly surrounded the camp and refused to disperse.

Zhou Xun was so cornered that he almost shouted "sos!"He could only send someone to send this news together with the battle report to Wu Shigong as quickly as possible, so that Wu Shigong could come to preside over the overall situation as soon as possible.
