Crazy at the end of the Ming Dynasty

() When Wu Shigong entered Qufu County in a hurry, he never thought that he and his soldiers were treated like little daughters-in-law.

Wu Shiwen and Wu Shigong's army was greeted by a small official from Qufu County, who was also a senior official in the Confucian Mansion.It is normal for Sheng Yangong to disdain to greet a small magistrate and a vulgar guard.

Then, the cavalry of the Runing Battalion were arranged in a corner of Qufu County, and they were taken care of: Except for the military officers like Wu Shigong, other soldiers had better not walk around in the city to prevent disturbing the people.This Qufu county is like the outer courtyard of the Confucian mansion.It's normal for the army to be unable to move around in other people's homes.

That Confucian Mansion is really a house of etiquette. After the chief steward arranged the soldiers, he immediately led Wu Shiwen and Wu Shigong to visit Sheng Yangong.

See you soon.But before the meeting, Wu Shiwen and Wu Shigong were asked to take a bath and change clothes.Indeed, Wu Shiwen and Wu Shigong's body smell really bad after rushing this way, and it's really good to take a bath.

Just think about it, no matter what kind of rich and powerful family is in modern times, if the family is in trouble, a policeman runs to this house sweating profusely, but the owner of this house first asks the policeman to take a bath before talking to the policeman. Thank you for meeting.this……! ?House of etiquette!normal normal!

The meeting with Sheng Yangong was very short, and the main thing was that Wu Shiwen and Wu Shigong kowtowed to Sheng Yangong.However, Sheng Yangong was very polite and wanted to keep the two brothers for dinner.

Wu Shigong was already mentally prepared.Sheng Yangong would definitely not accompany each other for dinner, and the one who accompanied him was the chief steward of the Confucian Mansion.Of course, the son of the Confucian Mansion also came to toast a few glasses of wine.

However, both Wu Shiwen and Wu Shigong came from wealthy families.In the Ming Dynasty, the banquet standards of rich and noble families were very particular. How many dishes and what kind of dishes are served can show how much they value the guests.

The Confucian Mansion's standard for entertaining guests is to treat Wu Shiwen and Wu Shigong as country bumpkins.Before the dinner party, Wu Shigong fantasized that there was a rich and beautiful lady from the Kong family who was peeking at his hero from behind the banquet curtain.Because after all, I am a time traveler!But this meal, let alone Bai Fumei, looked at these dishes at the banquet, and Wu Shigong cried out in his heart: Where is this Confucian family dish?What about the Confucian house wine?

I worked so hard to rescue Confucius, but I didn't expect that in the eyes of Confucius, I was such a character!normal!normal!

After returning to the camp after the dinner, I didn't expect my subordinates to complain.After they arrived in Qufu County, the Confucian government did not provide a grain of grain or a firewood at all.Soldiers who wanted to eat hot food had to eat cold dry food.

Wu Shigong hurriedly went out to negotiate with a steward of the Confucian Mansion, and the steward told Wu Shigong very politely: "The imperial court raises soldiers and pays them for the purpose of stabilizing the place. Of course, there is no reason to ask the Confucian Mansion to pay money! If Wu Shigong's soldiers If you want hot food, you can buy it at the Confucian Mansion with silver! The Confucian Mansion promises not to raise the price, and sell it to Wu Shigong at a par."

Hey!What else can Wu Shigong say?

According to Wu Shigong's temper, he wanted to bring his army back to Ningyang County immediately, so that he wouldn't suffer under Sheng Yangong's nose anymore.

It was Wu Shigong who persuaded him: "Fourteenth brother, please bear with it. This Sheng Yangong can't afford to offend anyone. We will just stay here for a few days. Pretend to help Qufu County strengthen the city defense before leaving."

"It's fine if we don't come, but if we leave this time, it's obviously a shame on Sheng Yangong! If he gets angry, we will definitely not be able to bear it. This rescue is a disaster. On the contrary Beauty. It's time to find an excuse."

Wu Shiwen's words were indeed reasonable, but Wu Shigong had been holding back his anger for a long time.But Wu Shigong could only complain about it.He said to Wu Shiwen: "It's not comfortable to be an errand at the end of the day! Alas——!"

Then Wu Shigong said to Wu Shiwen: "At most, I will stay until the 25th of the twelfth lunar month. My son will still celebrate the New Year. It is better to go to Wu Ge's place to feel more comfortable. My younger brother left home and went to Beijing. He has been in the army for many years, and he spent the New Year at home for a few years." .I'm so homesick!"

"to make!"

At this time, Wu Shigong thought of Xue Yufei who was staying in the capital.His little wife didn't have much time to spend with him after he left Beijing.The life after marriage is also more separated than together, her life must be more sad than her own.Wu Shigong secretly made up his mind: this time when he returns to Henan, he must bring Xue Yufei to Henan for a few more days.

In the next few days, Wu Shigong asked his officers to instruct the servants of the Confucian mansion on how to defend Qufu County, and on the other hand, he stepped up to collect news about Kong Youde's rebellious army.And some of Wu Shigong's officers also asked people in the city who were familiar with the terrain of Shandong to inquire about the surrounding terrain.

After a lot of questioning and testing, a simple map of the surrounding area was finally drawn.Only then did Wu Shigong realize that the position he was in was actually quite safe.

To the west of Ningyang County and Qufu County is Mount Tai, and to the north, separated from Kong Youde's rebellious army, is the famous Liangshan Po.Wu Shigong thought that he would not be so unlucky, the three Ruan family brothers would never travel with him.

If Kong Youde's rebellious army wanted to attack here, they either had to collect a large number of ships, or they had to make a big circle around Liang Shanbo.Unless Kong Youde and Wu Shigong have a deep blood feud for such a labor-intensive and time-consuming matter, Kong Youde will only do it if he has a brain twitch.

Wu Shigong once again felt the importance of maps in military affairs.This time it was luck. After not knowing the terrain, Wu Shigong just frightened himself once, but what will happen next time if there is no luck?In this battle, you can't rely on your own luck.

After a few days like this, Wu Shiwen and Wu Shigong found a reason to go back to Ningyang County.The reason is very high-sounding: "Please tell the lord, the officer, and the soldiers will return to Ningyang County."

"The rebel army always comes from Ningyang County first, and then Qufu County. I will say something here. Even if I am unlucky, I will never let a rebel soldier cross Ningyang County and come to Qufu County to frighten me. To the father-in-law!"

Then, Wu Shigong and Wu Shiwen left with the cavalry regardless of the manager's persuasion.The steward of the Confucian Mansion is not easy to insist on staying.Although he also wanted Wu Shigong's soldiers to stay for a while longer.But in the heart of the manager, he also knew that the masters of the Confucian Mansion were a bit dishonest.

The soldiers are about to come to the city, so why are you still putting on the airs of Duke Sheng Yan of the Confucian Mansion?Wouldn't they give more smiles and benefits to the Ming army who came to help?

The soldiers who left Qufu County were very happy. These days in Qufu County, those soldiers swallowed their breath under Wu Shigong's order, and they were all suffocated.You know, these soldiers used to follow Wu Shigong outside, but they have always played the role of showing off their might.

Unexpectedly, Wu Shigong's army had just marched happily for seven or eight miles, but behind them, the urgent messenger of the Confucian Mansion rushed to report.He urgently reported to Wu Shigong: Sheng Yangong wanted Wu Shigong to rush back to Qufu County immediately, because a Ming army was about to invade.

Yes!That's right!It was a Ming army that invaded Qufu County.
