Crazy at the end of the Ming Dynasty

At this time, in February of the seventh year of Chongzhen, Chen Qiyu, the governor of the military affairs of the five provinces of Shaanxi, Shanxi, Henan, Huguang, and Sichuan, took office.

At the beginning of getting out of the car, Governor Chen Qiyu was in high spirits. As long as the peasant rebel army could be wiped out, then the university scholars were recruiting to him, and the top ministers were waving to him.But before Chen Qiyu could relive this feeling a few more times, a basin of ice water poured down on his head.And the instigator of pouring ice water is the protagonist of this book, troublesome brother Wu Shigong.

In the private letter Wu Shigong wrote to Eunuch Qin at that time, he suggested the bandit suppression tactic of regional defense and full-court pressing. It should be said that this tactic is the most practical and the best tactic.The main reason why Wu Shigong refused to hide his private interests was that he wanted to use the Ming court to mobilize a large army to completely wipe out the peasant rebel army and eliminate Li Zicheng, the great enemy that destroyed the Ming Dynasty.

When Emperor Chongzhen saw this suggestion, he also attached great importance to it, transcribed and annotated it, and handed it over to Chen Qiyu, governor of the five provinces.

It should be said that this process is actually very normal, but there is a problem.Chen Qiyu is also an outstanding talent in the military, so the tactics he originally prepared to suppress the bandits are exactly the same as Wu Shigong's tactics of zone defense and full-court pressing.

That should mean that the heroes see the same thing?of course not!The hero Chen Qiyu didn't feel sorry for the hero Wu Shigong, but immediately hated Wu Shigong.It's not that Chen Qiyu is so small-minded, it's mainly because this incident made Chen Qiyu too aggrieved.

If you think about it, if Chen Qiyu wiped out the peasant rebel army according to his plan, he could report to Emperor Chongzhen: Under the wise leadership of the emperor, I, Chen Qiyu, used ingenious bandit suppression tactics to wipe out the peasant rebel army, etc. .

But what about the current situation?Not necessarily Chen Qiyu said: Under the emperor's wise leadership, I, Chen Qiyu, listened to the advice of a small chief, and then....

Where does this make Chen Qiyu put his face?But Chen Qiyu couldn't do otherwise, why?Because Wu Shigong's suggestion was forwarded through Emperor Chongzhen.Chen Qiyu may not have said to Emperor Chongzhen: I originally thought so, and Nadusi's suggestion was actually exactly the same as what I originally thought.

Isn't that nakedly grabbing credit?Isn't that bullying the emperor in front of Emperor Chongzhen?You said, Chen Qiyu encountered such an aggrieved situation, why didn't he immediately summon ten thousand "grass mud horse" beasts?

Wu Shigong was so inexplicably named by his immediate boss's immediate boss, Chen Qiyu.It's really a feeling of misfortune.But this reason is indeed due to coincidence, but Wu Shigong himself also has a little shortcoming in his work.

No matter in the previous life or in the future life, Wu Shigong was used to being the boss, so he didn't pay attention at all when giving suggestions, and he didn't know some tricks, because the subordinates were particular about giving suggestions to their superiors.

Here is a short story about a suggestion made by Marshal Vasilevsky, the Chief of the Soviet Army’s General Staff, during the Great Patriotic War of the former Soviet Union.

During the Great Patriotic War.When Stalin convened a military conference, he often asked the senior Soviet generals participating in the conference to take the lead in making suggestions.And when it came to Marshal Vasilevsky's turn, this is what he did:

Marshal Vasilevsky made some correct suggestions first, but in the end, he always said something that obviously sounded wrong.But again, an irrelevant little suggestion.

And after Stalin listened to it, of course he criticized those little wrong suggestions.Then it was logical to affirm the correct suggestion that Marshal Vasilevsky said earlier.As his own wise decision.

The reason why Vasilevsky did this was of course to maintain Stalin's leadership authority.However, Stalin actually knew Marshal Vasilevsky's little tricks well, so in the end, Stalin gave Marshal Vasilevsky command of the Far Eastern Front Army, the last battle of the Soviet Army to destroy the Japanese Kwantung Army in World War II great glory.

This is really amazing, a senior Soviet general who can survive and grow up from the butcher Stalin's suppression of counter-revolutionaries.They do have two brushes!

From this little story, we can see that in fact, it is not better for subordinates to make suggestions to their superiors as correct as possible. It is necessary to deliberately leave some small mistakes for the superior to correct, so as to show the superiority of the superior.if not.It is easy to be envied by the boss instead.This is also the reason why many white-collar workers complain that their bosses are jealous of their superiors. In fact, they only need to pay attention to this little trick.It's not easy to mix in the workplace!And it's not easy for Wu Shigong to be in the officialdom of Ming Dynasty!

In late February of the seventh year of Chongzhen, Chen Qiyu, as the governor of the military affairs of the five provinces, mobilized all the officials and troops to gather in Shanzhou, Henan (now Shanxian County), and prepared to move south to suppress the peasant rebels in Junxian and Zhushan, Hubei. .

And this time, Wu Shigong's Runing Camp, Li Lu's Ye County Camp, and Zhao Ming's Guidewei, who created the Ruzhou Great Victory, were also on the list.This time Chen Qiyu is a new official, no one knows who his three fires will be burned on, so after receiving the order, Wu Shigong also immediately entrusted Deng Qifan to handle civil affairs, and took Zhou Xun with him. The cavalry regiment and Tao Xin's five hundred soldiers came to Shanzhou.

And Nanyang guerrilla Li Lu and Guidewei commander Zhao Ming also went with their own soldiers, this time even the old Zhao Ming didn't dare to pretend to be sick anymore.

When Wu Shigong arrived at the camp of the encirclement and suppression army, he was only one day earlier than the scheduled assembly time. As soon as he entered the camp, he attracted the attention of many people.Because Wu Shigong's men and horses were all cavalry, with excellent weapons and armor, and the men and horses were hardcovered, other Ming army generals inquired about Wu Shigong's origin.

But before Wu Shigong settled down in the camp, a military officer of the Ming army came over immediately to give Wu Shigong a blow.

The military officer of the Ming army was Zuo Liangyu, the commander in chief.In just a few years, Zuo Liangyu jumped from a convicted low-level military officer to the commander-in-chief. When he was in high spirits, he actually won some battles.

But Zuo Liangyu always has a heart problem. He has been hearing from his bed partner, Hou Xun, how brave and amazing a local military officer named Wu Shigong in Henan is, so he has long been eager to win. heart of.So after knowing that it was Wu Shigong who arrived, Zuo Liangyu took the initiative to challenge Wu Shigong.

Wu Shigong saw a general soldier he didn't know coming over with dozens of soldiers, but he didn't dare to be rude, and hurriedly bowed his hands to Zuo Liangyu.

But Zuo Liangyu didn't return the salute at all, he looked down at Wu Shigong for a while, and then said domineeringly: "Is that Wu Shigong? It's nothing more than that!"

Zuo Liangyu's words caused the soldiers around him to burst into laughter.At this time, Wu Shigong also understood that Zuo Liangyu was here to provoke trouble.That being the case, Wu Shigong is not polite.So Wu Shigong still pretended to be respectful and asked: "Dare to ask this handsome man's name?"

"My surname is Zuo, and my first name is Liangyu." Zuo Liangyu's self-introduction still seemed very proud.

But after hearing Zuo Liangyu's answer, Wu Shigong immediately straightened up, rolled his eyes at Zuo Liangyu, and spit out three words: "I don't know!" Then he turned around and showed Zuo Liangyu the back of his head.And Wu Shigong's answer also made the soldiers around him burst into laughter.

Zuo Liangyu's face turned purple with anger, but seeing that he was in an away game, he would be at a disadvantage in terms of civil attack and military defense, so he threw down a sentence: "Arrogance!" After that, he retreated in despair.

And after seeing Zuo Liangyu's embarrassing appearance, how could these bad boys from the Runing Army let them go?There was a burst of booing and whistles, which caused the other Ming soldiers around to look sideways.And Zuo Liangyu's appearance of being at a disadvantage also fell into the eyes of the surrounding Ming army.

So not long after, Commander Zhao Ming, who had arrived first, came to visit.They are both old acquaintances, so after the two saluted, Wu Shigong asked with a smile: "Who is that idiot named Zuo Liangyu?"

Zhao Ming also smiled and replied: "Who knows!" Wu Shigong asked Yu Blind.Ask Zhao Ming how many fireworks and willow lanes there are in the city of Guide Mansion, Zhao Ming knows everything well, but ask the generals of the Ming army, Zhao Ming is not as good as Wu Shigong who often reads the mansion newspaper.

However, Zhao Ming is very enthusiastic about collecting and disseminating gossip: "I heard that the Zuo Zongbing also stayed in Beizhili and Liaodong. It seems that he won a few big victories. Anyway, he won He has a lot of people."

"Two days ago, Mr. Xiao, the military supervisor, held a banquet. During the banquet, one of Mr. Xiao's concubines was called to perform a dance. The Zuo Zongbing fell in love with him. Unexpectedly, Mr. Xiao gave the concubine to him after changing hands. He, tsk tsk! That concubine is said to be a famous prostitute in Yangzhou, with that figure, that voice! It's really memorable!" Zhao Ming made an intoxicated look.

Wu Shigong immediately jokingly said: "So your saliva can't help but flow down! I said that you are so old, aren't you afraid of getting winded right away?"

Hearing Wu Shigong's joke, Zhao Ming didn't care, he also said with a smile: "It's just thinking about it, I'm powerless! But this time, my old brother came out with all his old bones, and he only brought Guide Wei Wu Dusi has to take care of one or two of the more than 200 children in the family, so he can't just let it go!"

Wu Shigong immediately patted his chest: "One family doesn't talk about two different things. You are always the veteran leader of this official. I thought about it for a while, and someone needs to guard the house! I will mention it to all the adults at that time. , let you return to the old German defense. For the war, let us young people do it."

Hearing Wu Shigong's promise, Zhao Ming laughed with satisfaction.

But at this moment, Wu Shigong and Zhao Ming suddenly heard another quarrel coming from the side!So the two immediately looked in the direction of the quarrel, and immediately saw an old acquaintance - Nanyang Guerrilla Li Lu. (To be continued..)
