Crazy at the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 338 Give the Messenger a Dismissal

In fact, not only the generals of the rebel army in Dengzhou City were worried, but Wu Shigong outside Dengzhou City was also worried.The artillery of the Runing Battalion is almost out of ammunition and food.Yonetako can often be found, but shells are not often found!

And these days, Wu Shigong invented the curved cannon launch, which not only breathed a sigh of relief for the Runing camp, but also the rich and colorful ammunition launch made the Runing camp set off a new wave of entertainment.

Zhou Xun led the gang of bad boys, thinking about new tricks every day.But Zhou Xun's gang of bad boys had a great time, but the head of the family - Wu Shigong knew that firewood, rice, oil and salt were expensive.

And Wu Shigong didn't know how effective his artillery was.I only saw various types of shells fired into Dengzhou City, but I didn't know how much damage it caused to the ships and rebels in the city.To be honest, this kind of shelling is just for venting.

At the beginning, Wu Shigong was still very interested in shelling. After all, these officers in the Runing Battalion were also young people who loved to play and make trouble.But with the prolongation of the artillery firing time, Wu Shigong had to do some financial calculations.

Shells need money; gunpowder needs money; propaganda paper needs money, and even firing artillery for a long time will shorten the life of the barrel.Wu Shigong didn't dare to count any more, his heart would bleed if he counted any more.

But now it is impossible to stop the shelling all at once.Not to mention that the pressure on the rebels cannot be anticlimactic; nor to mention that the shelling of the Runing Battalion has already let Zhu Dadian, Gao Qiqian and other Ming troops know that the sudden stop can easily make them have some bad associations. It is necessary to maintain the current morale of the Runing Battalion, so Wu Shigong has to maintain such shelling.

But Wu Shigong is not without gains.Seeing the shelling of the Runing Battalion these days, the Dengzhou local guide named Han Shi was very grateful to Wu Shigong, and he wanted to give Wu Shigong his job.

But Wu Shigong didn't dislike the instigator of the shelling like a chicken belly.But it won't give him a good face either.Besides, there are so many people who want to be Wu Shigong's cows and horses in this world. As long as Wu Shigong opens his mouth, the people who sign up may be able to go around the Forty-Nine City a few times. Leave Han Shi aside.

But I didn't expect Han Shi to have a unique skill.He was originally a driver driving a cart in Dengzhou City, and now he has no other place to go.

So Han Shi spent every day by Wu Shigong's side, doing chores for Wu Shigong regardless of pay.But seeing Wu Shigong was also indifferent, and the guards around Wu Shigong went to work casually for Han Shi.

And Wu Shigong's war horse is crazy, although it is usually very naughty.But it has a good habit of loving hygiene and likes to take a bath every day.However, Crazy is also very picky, and is not very willing to let other people touch its body.Therefore, Wu Shigong often washes for Lai Crazy with his own hands, and is often covered in sweat by Lai Crazy, who is dishonest in the bath.

But somehow.Ren Lai Crazy and Han Shi hit it off quite well.Therefore, Wu Shigong was also happy to be relieved of such a drudgery.Acquiescing to Wei Zhen to become his own groom.

But the happiest thing is that the man came crazy.It is cleaned up every day these days.Vigorously leading Han Shi, who was chasing it, to run rampant in the camp, happily trying to seduce the mare.

That night, Wu Shigong was calculating the inventory of the artillery team in his big tent, thinking of finding a reason to go to Zhu Dadian and Gao Qiqian to ask for some shells and gunpowder?Or should we borrow some from the military attaches of the former coalition forces like Liu Zeqing?

But at this moment, Yang Rusong rushed into the big tent quickly, and whispered in Wu Shigong's ear: "My lord, eight rebels came out of the city, and they asked to see your lord. They didn't bring weapons, but two box."

After hearing this, Wu Shigong stood up excitedly with a bang.It seems that his shelling has seen the effect.The rebels couldn't bear to negotiate with themselves.

But Wu Shigong immediately forced himself to calm down. He wandered back and forth in the big tent, carefully considering the pros and cons of the negotiation.

Yang Rusong, who was waiting for Wu Shigong's order, misunderstood.He asked Wu Shigong again: "Sir, do you want to kill them all?"

Wu Shigong reacted immediately.Anyway, let's talk about it later, maybe it will benefit me too.Moreover, it is not appropriate to keep the rebel envoy outside for a long time. After all, not all the Henan army are from the Runing camp.

So, Wu Shigong immediately ordered: "Bring their leaders here, remember, don't let others see, you arrange it yourself. Also, search them and their boxes carefully, and don't put any dangerous things in them." s things."

Ever since he left Dengzhou City in the dark, Huang Qifa has been trembling.Huang Qifa was not very courageous. He was nothing more than an old man who followed Mao Wenlong when Mao Wenlong first established Dongjiang Town.Just relying on his seniority, he achieved the position of Chief Qian.

But since Mao Wenlong was killed, Dongjiang town military officers like Huang Qifa, who have no background, have been marginalized.It was also because his influence was too small, and his previous behavior was very smooth, so after the frequent fires and mergers in Dongjiang Town, he survived by luck.

This time Kong Youde rebelled, but Huang Qifa was staying in Dengzhou City.When the rebel army broke through Dengzhou City, Huang Qifa also joined the rebel army.However, the rebel army's several troop transfers have also transferred a lot of Huang Qifa's men. Although Huang Qifa is still a general manager, he only has more than 200 soldiers left in his hands, and he has become an assistant to defend the southern city wall. One of several rebel generals.

A few days ago, Huang Qifa witnessed several rebel breakouts, and the generals who led the breakout were also drawn by lottery.After that, several people were killed or injured outside the city.

Although Huang Qifa was timid, he was not stupid, and none of those who were selected by the lottery was a general directly related to Kong Youde and Geng Jingzhong.But Huang Qifa didn't dare to point out this point, he didn't even dare to make a suspicious expression.But I didn't expect that my own clumsiness would bring me this narrow escape.Huang Qifei really regretted it in his heart!

But it's no use thinking about it now.Huang Qifa and these people are now locked in an empty tent unarmed.Surrounded by soldiers like tigers and wolves.

As the waiting time lengthened, Huang Qifa became more and more frightened.He knew that the young general who was a bit too much who brought him just now had already gone to report to the chief general of the army.

But Huang Qifa was still afraid.Will the chief general of this army dare to receive him?You know, negotiating alone with yourself, the envoy of the rebel army, is a serious crime for the chief general of this official army.Once leaked, the consequences can be described as unimaginable.

Therefore, Huang Qifa thinks that his most likely end is: the leader of this army will send himself to the commander of the army to clear up and claim credit.However, in view of the fate of the rebel generals who negotiated with the government and the army before, Huang Qifa thought that he would also be in danger.

As if 1 years had passed, Huang Qifa finally heard the sound of footsteps coming from outside the tent. Just now, the informant general entered the tent again, and he ordered Huang Qifa: "Everyone else stay, you follow alone. I'm going to see our lord."

Huang Qifa's heart is slightly settled.Since he didn't hand in himself immediately, and didn't bind himself, it proved that he was still safe for the time being.

When Huang Qifa walked into the heavily guarded tent, when he saw Wu Shigong sitting behind the big case, he couldn't help being stunned, thinking: "Why are the military officers of this army so young? "

But now is not the time to think wildly, Huang Qifa immediately clasped his fists and saluted, and said in a hoarse voice: "My lord, I invite you here."

When Wu Shigong heard this, he didn't reply immediately. He stared blankly at Huang Qifa for a long time, until Huang Qifa felt a little hairy.

Seeing that Huang Qifa was already fidgeting, Wu Shigong suddenly burst out laughing.While smiling, he said: "You have the guts to call yourself a lower official. Are you here to die today?"

Huang Qifa's confidence and courage disappeared immediately after these words.He was so frightened that he knelt down with a "plop" and kowtowed repeatedly to beg for mercy: "Damn the young one! The young one also has his heart for the court. The young one was also forced!"

Wu Shigong was taken aback by Huang Qifa's actions.What I did just now was nothing more than Wu Shigong's intention to exert some psychological pressure on Huang Qifa in order to take advantage of the subsequent negotiations.But I didn't expect that the envoy of the rebel army who came today was so timid, and he became like this after being frightened.This made Wu Shigong have prepared the following, but he couldn't say it for a while.

At this time, several personal soldiers also moved the checked two boxes into the big tent and placed them beside Wu Shigong.Wu Shigong stopped paying attention to Huang Qifa.He stood up, walked to the box, opened a mouthful of the box, picked up the calligraphy and paintings inside, and began to enjoy it.

At that time, Wu Shigong was in Gongshunhou's mansion, although he was not very popular, but he came from a wealthy family after all, so he knew the things in the box.After looking at the two boxes, Wu Shigong estimated that if those things were sold in the capital, they could be sold for more than 2000 taels of silver.

But Wu Shigong's attitude made Huang Qifa feel even more uncertain.He could only lower his head as much as possible, waiting for Wu Shigong's judgment.

After a while, Wu Shigong closed the lid of the box, and said to Huang Qifa: "What are you doing to me with these rags today?"

Huang Qifa immediately raised his head and argued: "My lord, these are all things locked in the warehouse of the wealthy family in Dengzhou City. They must be very valuable. These things are all for the small ones to honor you. The small ones have no other meaning, so I just want to Speak a few words with the adults."

"Very valuable?" Wu Shigong snorted, "I don't know if it was worth it before, but it's a mess. Can these things be eaten? Or can they be drunk? No one wants to throw them on the street. Okay. Lah! I don’t want to waste time, so please explain why you’re here today.” (To be continued..)
