Crazy at the end of the Ming Dynasty

Seeing that Wu Shigong blamed himself for the lack of soldiers, why was Li Bingbei not in a hurry?

"Stop talking nonsense. After years of drought, there is no rice or millet left in the warehouses in Henan, and some food is indeed in arrears. Thanks to the grace of the governor and the chief envoy, I have also reduced the payment of some military fields. And you and the other three departments, in Ru After the Battle of Zhouzhou, they ransacked the area extensively, leaving thousands of houses without grains of rice and hundreds of miles without cooking smoke. There was also a shame to beg for food and pay. This time, the Governor ordered all the troops to be orderly, and the rest of the troops and horses were in order, with only a shortfall There are so many. You still deceive the Governor-General with your clever words, and you still don’t kneel down and confess your sins!"

But at this time, Wu Shigong instinctively felt the danger.Because unconsciously, the topic of the military discussion has turned into accusing oneself.And this situation was instigated by Governor Chen Qiyu, the highest official in the Chinese military tent.You know, as the coach, Chen Qiyu, it is very possible to use military law to kill a military officer who is short of troops.

So Wu Shigong immediately hit back at Li Bingbei and said: "What crime do you plead? We soldiers have been tortured by you who drink the blood of soldiers. There is no need to talk nonsense. The military salary of our Runing Battalion in the past few years, the expedition Denglai's food and salary, the rewards for the leaders of several battles, and the pensions for the casualties of soldiers, a total of 11 taels of silver, not a fraction of it. As long as you bring it, I will make up for the lack of troops within three days."

Wu Shigong immediately opened his mouth like a lion.Although the total amount of military pay, silver rewards and pensions is so large, firstly, the regular deduction is required; secondly, although the imperial court stipulates that the reward silver for the head is 50 taels, it is for the head of the Tartars. It's not about pacifying bandits.Otherwise, the phenomenon of killing the good and pretending to be meritorious service will be more rampant, and Wu Shigong's military exploits such as killing thousands of people at every turn will not be able to distribute so much even if the court goes bankrupt, so the court basically deducts and exempts military merits.And the money issued was not so much at all, so it was impossible for Li Bingbei to meet Wu Shigong's request.

But Wu Shigong's shameless words made Henan governor Xuan Mo unable to sit still.Firstly, it is customary for officials at all levels to share some of the military pay, and secondly, because they want to protect the main force of the Henan army in Kaifeng Prefecture, Xuanmo decided to distribute their military pay first, which also caused the Runing Army to be ineffective. received situation.

But no matter what, it is unreasonable for the officers and soldiers under his rule to not have a military salary of one or two taels of silver, which made Xuan Mo feel a little embarrassed.So Xuan Mo said slowly: "It is true that Benfu didn't think carefully. But Wu Dusi also needs to understand the difficulties of the court. That's it! After returning this time, Ben Fu will send some to Wu Dusi. But Wu Dusi If you are rude in front of the Governor, you should also report to Governor Chen!"

It was supposed to be like this.But Zuo Liangyu, who was watching from the side, found that Governor Chen Qiyu had some opinions on Wu Shigong, so he immediately seized this opportunity to blackmail Wu Shigong.So Zuo Liangyu interjected angrily: "Those who are short of major generals can get their salary, but those who cry really have milk!"

Zuo Liangyu's words annoyed Wu Shigong immediately, and he also started to shoot map guns: "I don't want to eat this milk yet. It's like our Runing camp. The lack of soldiers and food can keep the place peaceful. But there is a way The soldiers are strong and the horses are strong and get full military pay, but the bandits have been suppressed from Shaanxi to Shanxi. Now they are destroying us in Henan. I wonder if they have taken off their open pants?"

Wu Shigong's words.All of a sudden, almost all the officials in the Chinese military account were offended.People like Cao Wenzhao who are familiar with it can only touch their noses and smile wryly, while those like Zuo Liangyu immediately stare at him.The most popular one is Governor Chen Qiyu. Before he took office as Governor, his official position was Governor of Yansui. Isn't that scolding him?

Able to become governor of five provinces.Chen Qiyu is not a narrow-minded person either.The reason why Wu Shigong and the other three were to be included in this siege is that Chen Qiyu still intended to win over and support Wu Shigong.

For Wu Shigong, he was not happy about going out to encircle and suppress.Because the Runing Army usually takes full military pay, and they have to get double the military pay when they go out.From the perspective of income, it may be that the gain outweighs the loss.

But for other Ming armies, fighting against the peasant rebel army with low combat effectiveness is an opportunity to make war fortune.Little risk, big gain.

Although Chen Qiyu was depressed by Wu Shigong, he still thought Wu Shigong was talented.Therefore, Chen Qiyu wanted to put Wu Shigong by his side to advise him.

But Chen Qiyu always wanted to vent.Besides, capturing first and releasing later is also the way to control the subordinates.So Chen Qiyu first picked a thorn in Wu Shigong's forehead, and wanted to give Wu Shigong a disqualification.

Originally, according to the normal drama, Wu Shigong should immediately kowtow and confess his guilt, and then Chen Qiyu severely reprimanded him and allowed him to take the crime and make meritorious service.After Wu Shigong wept bitterly and repented, he immediately worked for Chen Qiyu.

Unexpectedly, Wu Shigong's thorny head would explode immediately.What's more, the words he said became more and more outrageous, and in the end he even scolded Chen Qiyu.So at this time, Chen Qiyu will severely punish Wu Shigong.Otherwise, where is the authority of the governor?Where is the military law of Ming Dynasty?

So Chen Qiyu yelled angrily at the big case: "What a Wu Dusi, not to mention the lack of personnel in his department, but still dare to shout about the Chinese army's account. Is it true that Shangfang's sword, which is the governor, can't kill people?"

If Wu Shigong was calm, he should immediately kowtow and plead guilty, and return to the previous drama.But Wu Shigong felt Chen Qiyu's malice more and more in his excitement.This is also the real reason why Wu Shigong didn't know that Chen Qiyu was malicious towards him.Otherwise, maybe Wu Shigong would understand and take appropriate countermeasures.And in such a danger, Wu Shigong's bachelor stepped up fiercely.

So Wu Shigong also gritted his teeth, and said viciously: "I want to see if Shangfang's sword dares to hurt a single hair of mine!"

Needless to say, after the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Wu Shigong was the first one who dared to speak like this. This is also a manifestation of Wu Shigong's lack of respect for imperial power as a modern person.

But Wu Shigong's words frightened everyone in the Chinese military tent.Could it be that this Dusi's brain is no longer clear, and he wants to rebel on the spot?And Li Lu and Zhao Ming who were behind Wu Shigong were also eager to tug on Wu Shigong's back, asking Wu Shigong to give in quickly.

And the most furious person in the Chinese military tent was Governor Chen Qiyu, who could no longer bear Wu Shigong's contempt.So Chen Qiyu turned around and took down the hanging Shangfang sword, and made a movement to draw it.

Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, Xuan Mo quickly stepped forward to stop Chen Qiyu's movements, and also shouted at Wu Shigong: "Bold and presumptuous! Shangfang's sword is the king's order, why don't you hurry up and confess your crime, do you really want to be disrespectful?" something?"

No matter what, Xuanmo must protect the local military attache, otherwise, his prestige among the local military attache will be completely lost in the future.And Chen Qiyu also stopped his movements.

In any case, Chen Qiyu would not believe that the current Wu Shigong would really rebel.He didn't really want to kill Wu Shigong either.Otherwise, it will be rumored later that a military officer had no military pay and brought remnant soldiers to fight after the war, but he had his head chopped off because of the lack of soldiers.Another reason is that the military officer proposed a good plan to suppress the bandits, and he adopted this plan afterwards.

Then Chen Qiyu could predict her own ending.The bachelor must have flown away, but what about Emperor Chongzhen?It is estimated that the impeachment memorial will be flying all over the sky.So the current Chen Qiyu is very much looking forward to Wu Shigong's surrender, so that he can go downhill.

But Wu Shigong knew that the current self must not be subdued, otherwise, if he fell into the hands of the Governor Chen Qiyu who had malicious intentions towards him, it would definitely be rubbish.Therefore, the misunderstanding between the two parties who did not communicate deepened.

But Wu Shigong also knew that he had said something wrong, so cold sweat broke out on his forehead.As soon as he thought about it, Wu Shigong said in a hurry: "What's so great about Shangfang's sword? Is the emperor's sword bigger than Shangfang's sword?"

This question stunned everyone in the Chinese military account.What kind of problem is this?How could such a question be asked?There is no doubt that the emperor is big!However, Wu Shigong's mental retardation made Chen Qiyu and the others afraid to talk.

Instead, Zuo Liangyu said casually: "Shang Fang's sword was bestowed by the emperor to the governor. Who does Wu Dusi think is the best?"

It's good to have a good eye, Wu Shigong immediately said: "It's the emperor! It's good if the emperor is big. Then what crime am I?"

Wu Shigong's words made everyone in the Chinese military camp even more confused.Could it be that Wu Shigong has the iron certificate of the alchemy book here, which can stop the big killer Shang Fang's sword?

But Wu Shigong's unscrupulous expression also made Zuo Liangyu be careful, he asked softly: "Why is Wu Dusi innocent?"

"Of course not guilty! Because the emperor himself promised!"

"Does the emperor have an oral order?" The most sensitive person to the emperor's oral order is Xiao Yuegui, the supervisor of Henan Province.Judging by his appearance, he is about to set up an incense table.And other officials in the Chinese military tent also looked at Wu Shigong suspiciously.

Wu Shigong nodded calmly and said: "There is an old saying! The emperor is not short of hungry soldiers!"

Today, everyone in the Chinese military tent will be beaten to death by Wu Shigong.When they heard the phrase "the emperor does not send hungry soldiers", they almost spit out a mouthful of blood.

I don't know who made the first low laugh, and everyone in the Chinese military tent couldn't hold back their laughter.Except for Wu Shigong, his back was all soaked, and he said in his heart: "It's dangerous!"

And in this atmosphere, the pursuit of Wu Shigong's lack of troops can only be ignored.So under the leadership of Governor Chen Qiyu, all the civil servants sat down one after another to continue the topic just now. (To be continued..)
