Crazy at the end of the Ming Dynasty

As soon as the staff of the teaching regiment was fully deployed, Wu Shigong couldn't wait to start the training of the new regiment.In addition to those regular training subjects, the key training for the legion is the phalanx confrontation between the two infantry regiments.In order to find the problem and solve the problem.

Wu Shigong had to look through the training summary recorded by Chi Ming and the others every day, plus the battle summary recorded by Chi Ming and the others before, Wu Shigong felt that after he returned to the Runing Mansion, the drills and tactical manuals of the Runing Army would come. Second major revision and major addition.

Wu Shigong's requirement for teaching the army is: in the field, it can withstand the attack of [-] infantry or [-] cavalry; and in the attack, it can completely defeat [-] infantry or [-] cavalry.And the level of the imaginary enemy is the Guan Ning iron cavalry that Wu Shigong saw this time.I don't know if Wu Sangui and the others will be furious after knowing Wu Shigong's thoughts.

But these days, Wu Shigong lived a very fulfilling life.During the day he directed and taught the training of the Legion, and at night he and Carelli were inseparable.

Carelli has been looking at the goods from Dengzhou City sent by the rebels these days. She is often surprised and deceitful, which fully satisfies the yearning of Carelli, a fan of the Ming Dynasty, for the high-end civilization of the Ming Dynasty.

Wu Shigong also knew that Carelli was born in a small noble in Europe, and seeing Carelli often jumping around in the big tent like a deer, he felt a little funny in his heart, and thought: "If If you take some things from here to Europe, can you fool a few European princesses for fun?"

But it didn't take long for such a day. After receiving Wu Shigong's report, Guo Zeng'an and Lu Jianchen from Yangzhou both rushed to the Henan Army's camp while the situation was calming down.

Wu Shigong immediately sent someone to call Qianhu Kou Fenghai over, without asking Kou Fenghai's opinion at all, and asked him to send someone to lead the saltworks personnel brought by Lu Jianchen and Guo Zeng'an.Go to Kou Fenghai's Qianhusuo to investigate the place where the saltworks can be opened.

After submissive for a long time, Kou Fenghai pleaded to Wu Shigong: "My lord, the villain understands the truth of relying on the sea to eat the sea, but we dare to cook some salt and make a small fuss. If the lord makes such a big show, the civil servants and patrol inspectors in those places will (It is the inspection of the salt industry) will rush over. The little one is afraid that after the adults return to Henan, this salt farm will not be able to keep it!"

Wu Shigong glared, and said to Kou Fenghai: "You are too timid. I used to be a thousand households of the local guards, but you look at my current situation, and then look at your thousand households. I can't say a word. Listen to me. You are not as good as a Xiaoqi under this officer."

"There are also people with guns in your thousand households. As long as you dare to fight, which local tyrants and petty officials dare to provoke you? You dare to come here to fight desperately, don't you dare to fight with them? Where did the blood of a man go?"

"Except for the two officials who came here this time, they are all salt merchants in Yangzhou. You have always heard of their skills. Smaller official affairs. They can definitely settle them. If there is a big scene, there are also officials."

So Wu Shigong took out Zhu Dadian's warrant and waved it in front of Kou Fenghai's eyes.Then he said: "Look at it. Look at it. I can even get the governor's warrant. What doubts do you have?"

"Let me tell you again, my father and my father-in-law are both hereditary princes. You should understand the background of this salt farm. But your worry is justified. It will be difficult for me to take care of this place when I return to Henan. But please rest assured, as long as these two officials are ready to open a salt farm in your Qianhusuo, I will find you a local high-ranking official to support you."

Of course, the speed of surveying the salt field was very fast. Anyway, the site requirements for drying salt were not high. Soon, the people sent by Lu Jianchen and Guo Zeng'an to investigate came back and reported: "I found a drying salt field that can produce at least [-] halite per year. ...and there are two smaller sites nearby that could be expanded."

So Wu Shigong immediately sent someone to deliver a message to Liu Zeqing.This message is also very simple, that is: "If you want to make a fortune, come quickly!"

After receiving the message, Liu Zeqing immediately came to the Henan Army's camp as if he had grown scuds.When he heard that as long as he used his own umbrella, they could cooperate to open the salt field, Liu Zeqing agreed without hesitation.

However, Liu Zeqing was not stupefied after all, he said to Wu Shigong in private: "Brother Changjing, if it's a small matter, it's absolutely fine for me to say hello. But if it's a big one, I'm beyond my reach!"

Wu Shigong thought for a while, and thought it was the same.After all, Liu Zeqing is Caozhou's deputy general, and he can't reach Dengzhou.It's like Wu Shigong has power in Runing and Guide, but he can't control Henan Prefecture (that is, the modern Luoyang City, which is a different concept from Henan Province).

So Wu Shigong came up with an idea: "Give another [-]% to Sheng Yangong. With his protection, all officials in the world will give up [-]%."

Liu Zeqing was a little embarrassed, he said: "The Confucian family is a family of poets and scholars, would they be able to do such a lowly business as the salt industry?"

Wu Shigong smiled at Liu Zeqing knowingly.He knew that Liu Zeqing didn't care about the reputation of the Confucian Mansion at all, but Liu Zeqing had some hatred with the Confucian Mansion before, and it was difficult to turn around when he cooperated with the Confucian Mansion all of a sudden.

Wu Shigong said: "Who doesn't like silver? Even if Duke Sheng Yan doesn't want to, he can find other people. At most, my younger brother will have the cheek to go to the capital to find a certain father-in-law or noble Xun, but in that case, we will If you want to bleed a lot, it’s better to be Confucian, at least you can restrain him in Caozhou. Harmony makes money! Harmony makes money!”

Liu Zeqing thought about it for a while, nodded heavily and said, "Then I'll make the best of it, brother." The two immediately burst into laughter.

Then Liu Zeqing said to Wu Shigong: "But I also have one thing to ask my brother, Denglai, this place has been disturbed by Kong thief this time, and there will definitely not be any Denglai governor in the future, and it will be transferred to the governor of Shandong. Yes. So in the future, the military officer here will most likely be from Qiu Lei. He has a bad relationship with the two of us. My brother is afraid that my official position is too small to hold him down!"

Wu Shigong laughed out loud, this Liu Zeqing's mind is spinning so fast!Just like that, he can find a way to get promoted?So Wu Shigong promised: "Brother Hezhou, I won't hide it from you, little brother. You also know that the Dengzhou villager I rescued this time is because I found a relationship in Dengzhou City. But this relationship is in the city. The power is too small to be of any use now."

"But we all know that the best time to attack the city is when the sea water is freezing. Bandit Kong will be in a hurry to escape by boat, and he has no intention of defending Dengzhou City. At that time, my younger brother promises that if When there was chaos in Dengzhou City, my younger brother notified Brother Hezhou as soon as possible to let Brother Hezhou's troops advance into the city. With this credit, Brother Hezhou can also take a step forward."

"This is so embarrassing!" Liu Zeqing waved his hand hypocritically.

"Don't be too busy expressing thanks, little brother can only do his best, when the time is so chaotic, it's not sure who will enter the city first." Wu Shigong also said with a smile.

"It's up to people to make plans, but it's up to God to make things happen! Brother, I also understand this truth. Anyway, I'm here to thank you first." Liu Zeqing saluted Wu Shigong.

Wu Shigong also bowed back, and then said: "But I still have a request."

"Say it!" Liu Zeqing's expression also became serious.But Liu Zeqing felt relieved, it would be a little strange if Wu Shigong didn't make a request.

"If at that time, your troops want to open the way ahead, and all the heads will belong to you, maybe you can be promoted to two levels. But if it is seized, if it is property, you will be seven and I will be three, weapons and armor will be three and I will be seven, and horses." And the guns are all mine."

"Success!" Liu Zeqing agreed without hesitation.

"Also, if Chen Dusi and Jiang Qianzong want to work with you at that time, don't bully them!"

"Brothers who have gone all the way, there is no problem with such trivial matters." Liu Zeqing also boldly agreed.After thinking about it for a while, Liu Zeqing asked kindly, "Brother, I'll just say more. If you do this, you will suffer too much. Don't you want military merit at all?"

Wu Shigong said with a smile: "Brother Hezhou also knows that the relationship between the younger brother and the governor and the military supervisor is not harmonious. When the time comes to break the city, if they are magnanimous, the younger brother will always have some credit. If they still hold grudges, even if they are reborn A lot of credit is also lost on their brushes. So it's better to give it to you, brother."

Liu Zeqing nodded and accepted Wu Shigong's statement.What he didn't know was that Wu Shigong's biggest reason was that he didn't want his troops to suffer losses.Therefore, Liu Zeqing and Wu Shigong can be regarded as taking what they need.

Then things went smoothly in the salt field.The funds for the salt field come from the Lu family and the Guo family, and the manpower will come from a thousand households like Kou Fenghai.Wu Shigong and Liu Zeqing both hold [-]% of the shares.Both the Lu family and the Guo family hold [-]% of the shares.Kou Fenghai holds [-]% of the shares, but he also has to hand over some to the commander of the guard station. Anyway, he will handle all these by himself.As for the [-]% of the Confucian Mansion, Wu Shigong decided on their behalf.However, Wu Shigong also sent a letter to Wu Shiwen, asking him to go to Sheng Yangong to tell the good news in person.

But Wu Shigong also has a request for this salt field. Based on the price sent to Guide Mansion or Runing Mansion as the standard, at the price of one or two silver per stone, [-] shi of salt will be provided to Runing Camp every year. , then the more the better.

When Liu Zeqing learned that the sale of salt goods also has high profits, he was also a little ready to move.So Liu Zeqing also ordered a shipment of salt.Wu Shigong felt a little funny in his heart, Caozhou is the main base of salt sales in Yangzhou.Can Liu Zeqing beat those Yangzhou salt merchants?That only God knows.
