Crazy at the end of the Ming Dynasty

"Wu Sangui!?" Wu Shigong suddenly exclaimed.After traveling to the Ming Dynasty, I finally met a second historical celebrity besides Wei Zhongxian.But at this time, Wu Shigong, the first thing that came to his mind was...that was...that was Chen Yuanyuan! ! !

For so many years, Wu Shigong arranged people to inquire secretly, but he couldn't find out Wu Sangui's whereabouts, but he didn't expect that he would suddenly appear in front of his eyes today. This was an unexpected surprise.So where is Chen Yuanyuan?Wu Shigong couldn't help thinking about it again.

But Wu Shigong calmed down and thought about it, and couldn't help grinning.This Wu Sangui looks like a young man, and his hair is probably not fully grown, not to mention Chen Yuanyuan's hair.But why...why did you think of Chen Yuanyuan again?

Seeing Wu Shigong laughing very strangely, Liu Zeqing on the side poked Wu Shigong with his elbow, and then whispered in Wu Shigong's ear: "What are you giggling about? Even if you don't like Liaodong iron cavalry, even if you think My credit is greater than that of Wu Sangui, so don't show this expression in front of the big tent! It's not good to be seen by others."

"However, according to my brother, only you can be called a young hero, and Wu Sangui was also promoted by the Liaodong Army. Don't take it too seriously."

Wu Shigong immediately accepted Liu Zeqing's kindness, and did not explain Liu Zeqing's misunderstanding, so the two returned to their camp with smiles and chatting.

After returning to his tent, Wu Shigong thought about it.Four historical celebrities of this era that I know have appeared.Not to mention Chen Yuanyuan, Wei Zhongxian, Emperor Chongzhen, Li Zicheng and Wu Sangui.Therefore, it is the original Ming Dynasty history that should be traversed by oneself.

But he didn't understand the historical process at all. For example, he didn't know about the inexplicable Kong Youdedenlai rebellion in his previous life.But that's okay, just go with the flow and work hard.

But Wu Shigong also analyzed a piece of good news: Now that Wu Sangui has appeared.Then it won't be too far to prove that he let the Qing soldiers enter the pass.However, the Wu Sangui I see today is too young, and I know that his status in the Liaodong Army is not particularly high. Therefore, it will not be too soon when he takes charge of the first army stationed in Shanhaiguan.

Then there is still some time left for Wu Shigong, even if it is ten years.[-]% off, eight years.As long as he has mastered enough strength within eight years, he will still have his own place in the disputes among the heroes of the world.

And in just four years, I started from scratch and developed the Runing Camp to the current level, and there will be another eight years.Reaching your goals is not out of reach.

Wu Shigong didn't know that, unknowingly, with the increase of his power, he had already raised his goal from keeping the family's safety to becoming a vassal of the separatist side.

But it's definitely too late if you don't hurry up.How much will the army expand to?At least [-] to [-].And it is necessary to mobilize an army of [-] at any time.But what about the salaries and supplies of these troops?Where is the Runing camp going to develop new sources of income?What method should be used to break the coercion of the local government? ...

Anyway, Wu Shigong thought more and more.He had rare insomnia.It was not until midnight that Wu Shigong fell into a drowsy sleep.

After suffering the Shahe defeat.Kong Youde's rebel army only gathered more than 1000 people in the end.But the rebels were not hurt.Except for the loss of more than 800 old Liao troops (basically wiped out by Wu Shigong's coalition forces), the remaining old Liao troops, cavalry, artillery and other weapons were safely withdrawn.

Kong Youde was also very decisive in his actions. He knew that the current rebels might be attacked by the Ming army on both sides, and it was unrealistic to besiege Laizhou City again.So he joined Li Jiucheng's army who besieged Laizhou City, fired all the artillery, and gathered more than 5000 people.Withdrew to the Huangxian line.

After arriving in Huangxian County, Kong Youde gathered the rebel cavalry and chariots who were mopping around Huangxian County, and gathered more than 8000 people, plus more than 6000 people from Laizhou for reinforcements.A total of [-] rebels, known as an army of [-], are preparing for the next decisive battle with the Ming army.

After the Ming army rested for a day, still led by the Liaodong Army and the Allied Forces, they first drove to Laizhou City to break the siege of Laizhou City.At this time, the Ming army had a total of 3000 people and horses, and more than 2 civilian husbands, known as 20.

There was no battle at all in this siege battle. It was just that when marching all the way, they saw the desolation brought about by the military disaster.

But when the leading cavalry of the Liaodong Army drove under Laizhou City on August [-]th, Laizhou City did not open the city gate no matter what.But when the large forces of the Liaodong Army and the Allied Forces arrived, Laizhou City still did not open the city gate.

The officers and soldiers in Laizhou City did not believe in the identity of the Ming army under the city at all. This is also to blame for the cavalry leading the Liaodong Army. Why did they use Liaodong dialect when they called the door?

No way, wait for the leader.When the main force of the Ming army arrived on August [-], Zhu Dadian and Gao Qiqian personally wore official robes and called the door, but the gate of Laizhou City still did not open.Then find some officials who are familiar with the commander-in-chief Yang Yufan to persuade him, but Yang Yufan still insists on not opening the city gate.At this time, the only high-ranking official left in Laizhou City, Yang Yufan, the commander-in-chief, had been made mentally ill by Kong Youde's trick of surrendering.

In desperation, Gao Qiqian could only send a few young eunuchs around him to persuade Yang Yufan.This time Yang Yufan reluctantly agreed, and Yang Yufan ordered the young eunuchs to be hoisted into Laizhou City by hanging baskets.

After admiring the good show of calling the door for two days, all the officials of the Ming army were very angry and funny.I saw those little eunuchs being hung on the city wall.Liu Zeqing smiled and asked Wu Shigong, "Brother Changjing, do you think it will be successful this time?"

Wu Shigong didn't answer either, he laughed and shouted loudly: "I'm the banker to start a bet! The banker is the one who made the call successfully this time! Anyone who wants to bet on the call is not successful, just come to me to bet the lottery! Pay [-] for [-] , a rare opportunity, come and buy it!"

Wu Shigong's cry caused the military attache of the coalition army to burst into laughter.Just think about it, how would those little eunuchs persuade them?Of course he can't use his mouth, he must have taken off his pants to persuade him!This eunuch can never make a fake.Which idiot would take part in such a losing game?

Nothing happened.Without much effort, the gate of Laizhou finally opened.Of course, it is impossible for the army to enter the city. Zhu Dadian and Gao Qiqian entered Laizhou City with their entourage.As for the tragedy and comedy of how the general soldier Yang Yufan cried in front of Zhu Dadian and Gao Qiqian afterwards, military officers like Wu Shigong who couldn't enter Laizhou City couldn't appreciate it either.

Anyway, the first phase of the Ming army's military operation to wipe out Kong Youde's rebels was successfully completed.Although there was no battle with the rebels, Laizhou City was finally rescued, so Zhu Dadian and Gao Qiqian sent messengers to report the victory to the court again.The Ming army also ushered in a long period of rest in Laizhou City.

Successive victories made the entire court rejoice.Emperor Chongzhen also showed a long-lost smile.When he saw Wu Sangui's name in the list of the first achievements in the memorial, he smiled and said to Wang Chengen: "You are worthy of being a filial son and loyal minister! This young general is also very loyal and brave."

"It's not that the holy emperor knows heroes with his eyes!" Wang Chengen also joked with a smile, "There is an old saying: the father of the tiger and the son of the dog, but his Wu family is the father of the dog and the son of the tiger. If it weren't for the emperor's wiseness, his Wu family would still There is no chance of turning around."

Emperor Chongzhen was very comfortable being praised, but he still smiled and waved his hands and said modestly: "It's not such an exaggeration, the soldiers are just using their lives. Don't talk too much about Wu Xiang. This time the hole-punching thief, his military exploits are not small. Reinstate him to his post."

Emperor Chongzhen continued to look at the list of meritorious persons with great interest. When he saw Wu Shigong's name, he put away his smile and frowned.The son-in-law who stole the little widow was so impressed.

Wang Chengen was very good at observing words and expressions. He secretly glanced at the list, and immediately made a decision, not wanting to cause any trouble.

But Emperor Chongzhen did not let Wang Chengen go. He knocked Wu Shigong's name and said to Wang Chengen: "Although he is capable, his character is poor, so he should not be reused!"

"That's it!" Wang Cheng'en must have followed Emperor Chongzhen's words, "Xue Hou also entrusted the old slave several times, and he still wanted to transfer his son-in-law back to the capital."

Emperor Chongzhen was very satisfied, he was satisfied with Wang Chengen's honest attitude towards him.So Emperor Chongzhen said in a better mood: "Xue Hou is also confused, let his inferior son-in-law work hard for a few more years in the local area. Anyway, his son-in-law has done a lot of meritorious service, and I can't refuse to reward him for his meritorious service." And his son-in-law has been transferred back to the capital, what official position do I have for him?"

"The emperor is really wise." Wang Chengen saluted and complimented.

While saluting, Wang Chengen was thinking in his heart: It's not that I don't want to help, but that the emperor doesn't agree!Xuehou, don't blame me anymore.But tell Xuehou what the emperor said today, and how much benefit can he get from Xuehou?

Once again, Xue Lian's well-intentioned efforts to transfer Wu Shigong back to the capital failed just like that.But if Wu Shigong knew about Xue Lian's hard work, he would not call Xue Lian father-in-law, but kneel down and call Xue Lian grandpa!

At this time, Jiang Cheng and the Ming army also drove up during the rest period, and Qingzhou and other places also sent more civilians to send a large amount of food, grass and ordnance to the Ming army.The Ming army also conscripted more than 3000 civilian husbands on the spot in Laizhou City.Wu Shigong's Runing Battalion was also assigned 300 people.However, Wu Shigong found a big surprise among those folk husbands.
