Crazy at the end of the Ming Dynasty

() In this expedition, Wu Shigong took away not many main generals of the Runing Battalion.In addition to Yang Rusong, the commander of the personal soldiers, and Liang Hui, the commander of the artillery, Wu Shigong also brought Zhou Xun, Yu Ji, and Li Sanhe, the commander of the cavalry.

The mobilization of troops in the Ming Dynasty was actually very strict (the mobilization of troops in all eras was very strict).In addition to the transfer order of the Ministry of War, there are also strict regulations on the marching route of the army.

Like Wu Shigong's expedition this time, he had to report to the local government along the way in advance, and of course he was not allowed to enter the cities along the way.There are also prescribed locations and quantities for the supplementation of grain and grass.

If the army changes the marching route at will, it is a very serious crime, and the most serious one can even treat you as a rebellion.Of course, this regulation can be disregarded in war zones and emergency situations, just like Wu Shigong's King Qin last time.

Therefore, Wu Shigong was not able to enter Jining City, he could only replenish food and grass at the grain official storehouse by the canal on the outskirts of Jining City.

It's a little funny that Wu Shigong has been a military attache for so many years and has fought so many battles. His army has never received military rations from the imperial government's official warehouse.

But Wu Shigong didn't care about this.This time Wu Shigong went to the expedition, the procedures were complete, so Wu Shigong was not afraid at all that the official warehouse would not distribute military rations to him.

But what Wu Shigong didn't expect was that he still ran into trouble when receiving the military rations.

Because in order to protect the safety of the materials in the official warehouse, the army is not allowed to enter the official warehouse.So Wu Shigong's Runing Battalion stopped about five miles away from the Guancang. Yu Ji took the formalities and took [-] soldiers and carts to the Guancang to receive the army rations.

But Wu Shigong waited for a long time, but still did not wait for Yu Ji to bring out the rations.They sent someone to inquire, and as expected, Yu Ji encountered difficulties.

It should be said that Wu Shigong was also psychologically prepared for the greedy nature of Ming Dynasty officials.But now Wu Shigong is unhappy.I was bullied this time and wanted to lead troops to Liaodong.That's fine, at least my own arm can't twist the thigh of Chief Assistant Zhou Yanru.

But my own procedures are complete, so why do I have to submit some routines before I can get the military rations?I'm going to go all out, who dares to make things difficult for me without opening my eyes?

Without saying a word, Wu Shigong immediately led the army and marched towards the official warehouse.When approaching the gate of the Guancang, several cao soldiers guarding the Guancang, led by a small official, scolded Wu Shigong's army.

It's a fat job to guard the official warehouse.Even a petty official has a background.In addition, those little officials also saw too much of the troops who came from south to north to receive military rations. Which general didn't treat them with a pleasant face and full of red envelopes in order to receive the military rations smoothly?

But what the little official didn't expect was that he just opened his mouth and shouted: "Which one without dog eyes dares to approach the official warehouse? You are not afraid of beheading?"

Wu Shigong didn't talk nonsense with that petty official at all. As soon as he waved his hand, he rushed over to dozens of personal soldiers, disarmed those cavaliers, and guarded them together with that petty official.

But the little official was not afraid at all, he was still cursing, until Zhou Xun jumped off his horse, came to him and gave him a few big slaps, then he covered his red and swollen face and closed his mouth.

At this time, Ambassador Cangyun who heard the movement came out with dozens of soldiers.Seeing the appearance of his subordinates, he immediately bowed his hands to Wu Shigong in a strange manner and said, "Why is this lord so angry? Even if the young ones are ignorant, it's not your turn to teach them a lesson? "

Wu Shigong still ignored Ambassador Cangyun. Seeing Yu Ji coming out, he asked Yu Ji, "What's the matter? Why haven't you brought out the military rations at this time?"

"This...!" Yu Ji looked at the Cangyun ambassador with some hesitation.

"Speak quickly! Tell the truth!" Seeing Yu Ji hesitating, Wu Shigong increased his voice impatiently.

"According to my lord's order, I want to receive [-] shi of military rations, but this lord only delivered [-] shi, and I used small buckets, each stone is only a little over [-] jin, which is not enough at all. So humble This lord has some disputes." Yu Ji argued.

"This military master doesn't care about the world!" Ambassador Cang Yun glanced at Yu Ji and said, "All those who lead the military rations in the world have to deduct the consumption, do you understand?"

When the military rations are distributed, depletion is indeed deducted.This is also an income for the warehouse ambassador here.But the Cangyun ambassador was too dark-hearted. He proposed such a discount at that time, he just wanted to extort more benefits from Wu Shigong.But now seeing Wu Shigong beating his dog, the Cangyun ambassador was also angry, and he was determined to teach Wu Shigong a good lesson.

But Wu Shigong didn't have the opportunity to teach Ambassador Cangyun at all.After he understood all this, he immediately ordered: "Arrest them all! Anyone who dares to stop them will be killed! We will move the rations ourselves."

After listening to Wu Shigong's order, a group of soldiers immediately stepped forward and pointed their weapons at Ambassador Cangyun and the Cao soldiers.

This inexplicable loss of life is not what anyone wants.Seeing the aggressive posture of Wu Shigong's soldiers, those soldiers threw all the weapons in their hands to the ground in a sensible manner.

But Ambassador Na Cangyun was still very unconvinced.He was thinking of reasoning with Wu Shigong just now, and he was bickering, but he didn't expect an unreasonable soldier to come.Ambassador Cangyun suddenly felt like a scholar meeting a soldier.

Ambassador Cangyun shouted to Wu Shigong: "Rushing and robbing the Caocang is a capital offense! Doesn't this lord think about the consequences?"

Wu Shigong was riding on a horse, looking down at Ambassador Cangyun, who was surrounded by soldiers, and said: "I will try my best to reject the Tartars and serve the country. How can I be afraid of life and death? On the contrary, you, a little ninth-rank official, dare to buckle The military rations hindered the imperial army. It made me angry, so I killed you first on the charge of delaying military discipline. Anyway, it’s hard to say whether I will die in the battle with the Tartars, so you should go to the Palace of the King of Hades first to make a stand for me.”

Wu Shigong left the stunned Cangyun ambassador, and arrested another small official to lead the way to the Cangyun granary.

In fact, this warehouse area is quite large. In addition to the warehouses for storing grain, there are also some warehouses for storing goods from south to north, such as cotton, cloth, and wood.This is a transit warehouse for transshipment of materials in the capital.

Also, in this warehouse area, there are also some warehouses that store military supplies such as weapons, armor and gunpowder used by soldiers.So this warehouse also has so many soldiers to defend.

Wu Shigong only got acquainted with the warehouses for storing other materials.Although Wu Shigong's soldiers had completely controlled the warehouse area at this time, Wu Shigong did not plan to move other materials.Otherwise, Wu Shigong didn't want to be charged with such a crime and get into such trouble for nothing if he forcibly moved the materials from the official warehouse without submitting the documents.

Instead, it is the receipt of military rations.Wu Shigong's document for extracting military rations stipulated that Wu Shigong's Runing Battalion could only extract [-] shi of grain from this warehouse.But Wu Shigong would definitely not be so honest.

To extract more food, I will always find some reasons in the future. At most, I will have a verbal lawsuit with the warehouse ambassador.Even if there was a punishment, the punishment for Wu Shigong would be painless.

Therefore, Wu Shigong recklessly filled up his empty cart at once.Received more than 1000 shi of grain.

Wu Shigong's actions caused the Cang Yun ambassador to kill pigs.In order to eliminate this source of noise, under the command of Wu Shigong, a group of soldiers pressed Cangyun Ambassador under a pile of grain, only his head was exposed.

Wu Shigong didn't do anything wrong, he asked the warehouse clerk at the side to issue a receipt for extracting [-] shi of grain, and then stamped his official seal on the receipt.This move made Cangyun Ambassador stop struggling under the pile of grain.

Don't tell me, doing such a somewhat illegal thing really boosted the morale of the soldiers.They loaded the grain, sang folk songs, and walked away amidst the stunned eyes of the Cangyun ambassador and Cao Bing.
