Crazy at the end of the Ming Dynasty

At this time, all officials in the Ming army believed that the rebel army after suffering the defeat of Huang County had no combat effectiveness.As long as the Ming army gathered together and captured the last stronghold of the rebels - Dengzhou City, it would be a matter of easy grasp.

The capture of Dengzhou City will also be the last chance to make meritorious service in the eradication of the rebels.But Wu Shigong's partial teacher was deprived of this opportunity.

Even when the Runing Battalion arrived late, Dengzhou City had not yet been conquered by the main force of the Ming army, and the south of Dengzhou City was a very steep mountainous area, which could not allow the army to attack the city smoothly.That's all.It is absolutely impossible for the Runing Battalion to capture Dengzhou City.This is also a means of revenge carefully designed by Zhu Dadian and Gao Qiqian.

But what surprised Zhu Dadian and Gao Qiqian was that Wu Shigong, who was extremely rebellious in their hearts, did not hesitate after receiving the order to wear small shoes, and he accepted the task calmly.

Zhu Dadian and Gao Qiqian still don't know that military achievements have completely lost their appeal to Wu Shigong.

After more than half a year of joint operations, the coalition forces are finally going their separate ways.But this is not a farewell to life and death. The ministries of the coalition forces will meet again under the city of Dengzhou, so the whole breakup scene is not particularly sensational.

But Liu Zeqing felt that Wu Shigong would lose the credit for conquering Dengzhou City, and he always felt a little sorry for Wu Shigong.But Wu Shigong still didn't care.He just asked Liu Zeqing to take care of himself, and then calmly led the Henan army to leave.

When Wu Shigong left, he found that Liu Zeqing's eyes could no longer hide the light of his ambition.During the military meeting just now, Zhu Dadian even encouraged Liu Zeqing by some unusual names, and also implied Liu Zeqing in the words that if Liu Zeqing made another military exploit in Dengzhou City, then Zhu Dadian would ask the court for credit.Let Liu Zeqing skip the rank of deputy commander in chief and be directly promoted to the position of actual commander in chief.

This condition is indeed quite attractive, which also shows Zhu Dadian's skillful political methods.Not only can he fight and pull a faction in the coalition forces, which can effectively split the coalition forces, but also after the rebellion is put down in the future, Liu Zeqing will be able to have Liu Zeqing, a pawn to check and balance Qiu Lei, the Shandong general.It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

Of course, Wu Shigong would not accept it in the military discussion, since he had already offended Zhu Dadian and Gao Qiqian, he didn't care about offending more.

Since Zhu Dadian and Gao Qiqian did not allow Wu Shigong to make meritorious service in Dengzhou City, they must give Wu Shigong some benefits.So Wu Shigong played tricks, acted like a good boy, and acted like a rascal.Anyway, whatever method was disgusting, he used whatever method, that is, to ask Zhu Dadian and Gao Qiqian to give Wu Shigong more weapons, food, mules and horses.

Facing Wu Shigong's ugliness, Zhu Dadian and Gao Qiqian were so angry that they almost crushed their steel teeth.If they were not worried about their identities, if they knew that even a one-on-two would not be able to beat Wu Shigong, maybe they would have a live PK with Wu Shigong in the Zhongjun account.

At the end.Zhu Dadian and Gao Qiqian reluctantly gave Wu Shigong five hundred stones of grain and a batch of gunpowder, but Wu Shigong still looked like a rascal.When making a greedy look.Zhu Dadian and Gao Qiqian couldn't bear it anymore.They immediately ordered Wu Shigong to be beaten out of the Chinese army tent.Wu Shigong immediately became a hero and escaped without suffering the immediate loss.

After the division, the Henan army led by Wu Shigong totaled more than 800 people.Among them, there are more than 500 in the Runing Camp.Moreover, the Runing Camp also has more than 700 war horses, nearly 860 mules and horses including pack horses, and [-] carts, chariots and two-wheeled carts.

The military supplies of this army are also quite sufficient.Among them, there are more than 300 stones of grain and grass.In addition, the weapons and equipment are quite sophisticated.There are thirty artillery pieces alone.What's more, the silver that Wu Shigong carried when he set off was basically not used.On the contrary, there were more silver and valuable materials, equivalent to at least 8 taels of silver.

Compared with the troops, weapons, supplies and silver when the Runing Camp set off, Wu Shigong's Denglai suppression of the rebellion can be said to be a great harvest.

And for this mission of mine.Wu Shigong is also quite self-aware.Kong Youde's rebels have all retreated to Dengzhou City to defend to the death, where are the remaining rebels along the coast of Zhaoyuan and Denglai?

Since Zhu Dadian and Gao Qiqian were unwilling to allow themselves to do more meritorious service, and they were unwilling to rush to Dengzhou City earlier, then Wu Shigong himself had to be more sensible, and slowly marched with arms.It's as if I took more than 5000 guards on a trip around the coastline of Denglei.

Unsurprisingly, on August 25, the fifth year of Chongzhen, the Henan army recovered Zhaoyuan without bloodshed.After that, Wu Shigong's Henan army rested in Zhaoyuan for more than ten days.

In fact, the Henan Army didn't need to rest at all.But since there is no need to rush to Dengzhou City, the Henan Army might as well collect more benefits in Zhaoyuan.You know, on the entire marching route of the Henan Army, it is only possible to enter the city of Zhaoyuan County.

After learning that Master Wang had regained the county seat, the magistrate of Zhaoyuan County and the big households in the county also descended from the stockade in the mountain where they were hiding, to accept the county government of Zhaoyuan County.

Of course, the magistrate of Zhaoyuan County and the big households in the county entertained Wu Shigong and others generously, and then offered a batch of rewards, hoping that the Henan Army would stop staying in the county and get out sooner.

But Wu Shigong, the military attaches of the Henan Army, have already opened their eyes. Do they still appreciate these rewards?Wu Shigong immediately returned the rewards, and the lion asked the magistrate of Zhaoyuan to help requisition [-] mules and horses and [-] shi of grain.As soon as this request was made, the magistrate of Zhaoyuan and those big households became weak, and the amount of requisition was too ruthless.

But completely beyond Wu Shigong's expectation, he also ran into a ruthless magistrate.Since the Henan army wants the lion to speak up, the magistrate of Zhaoyuan will not accompany him.

Afterwards, the county magistrate of Zhaoyuan met Wu Shigong again. He didn't even give Wu Shigong a salute, so he stiffened his neck and said, "Zhaoyuan has already been ravaged by Confucian thieves, and the court needs relief. So there is nothing left for Wu Dusi." But the county also knows that Chen Dusi has worked hard, so he squeezed his teeth together with the villagers to squeeze out [-] donkeys and [-] grains. I hope Chen Dusi will leave as soon as possible after he gets it. Otherwise, the county will sue the court, that is, sue the court When we hit the Golden Luan Hall, the county will still accompany us." After speaking, the county magistrate of Zhaoyuan ignored Wu Shigong's bad face and walked away.

It was the first time for Wu Shigong to meet a civil official who didn't like his rogue style, so he immediately went into a rage and stationed the entire Henan army in Zhaoyuan County, just to suppress the magistrate of Zhaoyuan and subdue him.

But the magistrate of Zhaoyuan also ignored Wu Shigong at all.Anyway, after Kong Youde broke Zhaoyuan County, there were not many residents left in the city, and few of them have returned now, so how could he be afraid of the Henan Army's disaster?Besides, the court system of the Ming Dynasty was like this, and even a small county magistrate had the will to resist Wu Shigong, a mid-level and senior military officer.

The county magistrate of Zhaoyuan thought very clearly, no matter what, Wu Shigong's Henan army was also an official army, so he would never dare to touch the Zhaoyuan county government and those big households in the city.As for the ordinary people at the bottom, the magistrate of Zhaoyuan County must have completely ignored them.

Moreover, Kong Youde's rebel army in Dengzhou City has not yet been wiped out.It may not be that Wu Shigong's Henan Army has been stationed in Zhaoyuan County and does not fight the rebels, then the imperial court will not agree!Anyway, it depends on who can consume who.Who said that civil servants can't play rogues?

But in this way, it really made it difficult for Wu Shigong to deal with it.It is impossible to grab those big households in Zhaoyuan, but it would be a big loss of face to leave like this.Wu Shigong was a little bit hard to get off.

After the two sides had been in a stalemate for five days, a scene that made Wu Shigong completely puzzled happened.Zhu Dadian, governor of Shandong, sent a messenger to Wu Shigong with an urgent letter.Among the letters, there was only one handwritten letter with the seal of the governor, which allowed Wu Shigong's Henan army to confiscate Zhu Dadian on the spot in Shandong.

Wu Shigong held this handwritten book and felt like he was in a dream.Either he was crazy, or Zhu Dadian was crazy.Could it be that what I have done has driven a governor into schizophrenia?

What Wu Shigong didn't know was that after Emperor Chongzhen asked Wang Chengen to thoroughly investigate Wu Shigong's matter, because Wang Chengen wanted to show his favor to Gao Qiqian, he was revealed to Gao Qiqian by those factory guards instructed by Wang Chengen.

Of course, those fans who revealed the news would definitely not say it clearly, but those hints made Gao Qiqian misunderstand.Gao Qiqian never thought that this rebellious Henan Qiuba would be so simple in Emperor's heart.Gao Qiqian didn't even know that Wu Shigong was actually the notorious Jane Zaidixin.

So after sighing that the members of Guixun's family were really not easy to mess with, Gao Qiqian immediately discussed with Zhu Dadian to make up for Wu Shigong who had a "close relationship" with Emperor Chongzhen.

But it is impossible to change the battle plan of Wu Shigong's Henan Army, which would be too embarrassing for Zhu Dadian and Gao Qiqian.That had no choice but to meet Wu Shigong's demand for materials.So Wu Shigong was given the governor's warrant, so that the Henan army could search in Shandong in a legitimate manner.

And at this time, since he couldn't figure it out, Wu Shigong stopped thinking about it.He immediately collected the manuscript as if he had found a treasure, and then came to the Zhaoyuan County Government Office proudly.

And when the county magistrate of Zhaoyuan saw this handwriting, he was immediately shocked.The magistrate of Zhaoyuan dared to force his neck on the military officer, but he absolutely did not have the guts to disobey the governor's orders.

Things went smoothly after that.The magistrate of Zhaoyuan basically satisfied Wu Shigong's requisition requirements.However, since Kong Youde's rebels had already raided, the whole county of Zhaoyuan really couldn't squeeze out so many mules, horses and food.After discussing with Wu Shigong, Zhaoyuan County finally gave the Henan Army 1000 mules and horses and [-] shi of grain.There are also [-] taels of military funds.With such a private gold mine, Zhaoyuan County is really rich!

The harvest was so rich that it immediately aroused the greed of the military officers of the Henan Army.They were still discussing how to blackmail another sum, but Wu Shigong received another letter.After reading the letter, Wu Shigong's arrogance disappeared immediately, and he immediately led the Henan Army to leave Zhaoyuan County in a desperate manner.
