Crazy at the end of the Ming Dynasty

After such a fuss, the following military discussions became boring.The only bright spot is: Governor Chen Qiyu banned Wu Shigong from going out on the pretext that local defense is also very important.

And when Zhao Ming also asked to return to Germany on the grounds that he was old and seriously injured, Chen Qiyu also agreed.Therefore, Wu Shigong and General Zhao Ming could only bring their own soldiers back to the garrison, while the "famous general" Li Lu commanded all the soldiers of the three departments to encircle and suppress them.

Chen Qiyu made a move to transfer troops but not generals.He has already begun to divide and win over the three parts of Wu Shigong.Zhao Ming's subordinates are military households with low combat effectiveness, and Zhao Ming is old and frail, so there is no value in wooing him.Wu Shigong's thorn in the army was also a factor of instability, so he was also eliminated as a black sheep.

However, Chen Qiyu believes that the "famous general" Li Lu was able to command the Ruzhou victory alone before Wu Shigong returned to Henan. It is still necessary to win over this kind of talent and his troops.Of course, Chen Qiyu didn't know, no matter how he split up and recruited, these three troops were all in the Runing Army.

After the military discussion was over, all the civil servants in the Chinese military tent who were qualified to write memorials wrote impeachment memorials overnight, which was to impeach Wu Shigong for disrespecting the Shangfang sword bestowed by Emperor Chongzhen.

It's not that those civil servants really think that Wu Shigong is disrespectful, the main reason is a problem of attitude.It is not Wu Shigong's attitude, but the attitude of the civil servants themselves towards the maintenance of imperial power.In the final analysis, it is a kind of self-defense.

Of course Wu Shigong didn't know that a new round of impeachment storm had started against him.

Li Lu also returned to the camp of the Runing Army with Wu Shigong.Wu Shigong knew Li Lu's concerns, so he called Zhou Xun over.

Then Wu Shigong began to make arrangements: "I won't be able to go out this time, so let Xunzi be your lieutenant general. You can handle the big things, and the specific errands will work hard for Xunzi."

"Don't be afraid, the 500 people we went to were all four-legged. If something goes wrong, can't they run on two legs? I can see it. They all thought that the Shaanxi bandits were big Fat meat, but are the Shaanxi bandits so easy to fight? How come so many troops have been suppressed for four or five years, but they have become bigger and bigger?"

"Let's stay in the back, don't be jealous! Don't grab any benefits, just follow behind and do some flag-waving things. You should also keep in touch with Chen Guerrilla and Jiang Shoubei, and you will suffer less bullying together. If there is any disadvantage, we will bear it first."

"Be careful! If the Shaanxi bandits surrender, there is a high probability that it will be a false surrender. If you can persuade them, persuade them, and if you can't persuade them, hide in a safe place. Don't get dizzy and careless! Let me tell you my opinion, Shaanxi The bandit business will not be over, there will be battles to be fought in the future, so we must preserve our strength. But I am also relieved of Brother Li. If you are the second in the Ming army in terms of escape, no one will dare to be the first."

Wu Shigong's words made Li Lu and Zhou Xun burst into laughter.

Wu Shigong continued: "Of course it's not that you don't want anything. There are some things that other officers and soldiers don't like, such as young and strong men and women, iron farm tools and other things. If you can bring them back, you will bring them back. Our Runing Army is still poor. But you still have to pay attention: in case something goes wrong. Don’t worry about fleeing so much, as long as you preserve your strength. I will take care of everything. One more reminder: Beware of false surrenders! False surrenders!”

After everything is arranged.Wu Shigong was alone in his big tent, reflecting on his behavior in the Chinese military tent today, and couldn't help feeling a bit of fear.For Wu Shigong now, there are not many places that can bring him danger, but it is precisely the two dangerous places to go to other officials' yamen to discuss affairs and to go to the Chinese military tent to discuss affairs.

In the Ming Dynasty, the gentlemen were noble and the martial arts were cheap, it was not for fun!For a military attache as big as Mao Wenlong, the Governor-General Yuan Chonghuan would kill him if he said so?Wu Shigong made up his mind, if he had the opportunity to go to the Chinese military tent for military discussions in the future.I must make sure that Xu Shu enters Cao Ying - without saying a word.That way there will be no conflicts that will bring danger to oneself.

But Wu Shigong didn't know that, as the saying goes, the country is easy to change, but the nature is hard to change.His temper of the boss and superior is not so easy to change.When he heals his scar and forgets the pain, he will still go back to his old ways.

Li Lu and Zhou Xun led a cavalry regiment of the Runing Army and five hundred of Li Lu's personal soldiers to follow Chen Qiyu's encirclement and suppression army.And Wu Shigong also returned to Runing Mansion.

And Emperor Chongzhen was a little numb to the impeachment of Wu Shigong.But this time, when I saw the content of the impeachment, I was immediately overjoyed.And Wu Shigong's ingenious comment on "Shang Fang's sword is better or the emperor's better" quickly became an anecdote.Spread throughout the capital.

Except for his father-in-law Xue Lian, he cursed Wu Shigong, the troublemaker, sullenly.There is nothing to say, and then prepare a generous gift to entrust Wang Chengen.

In fact, judging from the whole incident this time, Wu Shigong did not show any disrespect to Emperor Chongzhen.However, the authority of Governor Chen Qiyu must be maintained by the imperial court, so in March of the seventh year of Chongzhen, the reward for the great victory of the Runing Army in Ruzhou and the punishment of Wu Shigong himself were also issued.

The number of troops in the Runing Battalion is still 200.But this time the Runing Battalion is no longer half soldiers and half military households, but is composed entirely of soldiers.

Qianzong Xue Yongli and Qianhu Qiao Song were promoted to the defense, each leading an army of one thousand.And the following military officers also have their own promotion rewards.As for Gui Dewei's commander Zhao Ming, because he is old and injured, he will not be promoted, and the rewards will also be concentrated on his family members.What kind of posthumous gifts to the three generations of ancestors, the order to his wife, and the cuteness of his son, are some things that honor more than benefits.

And Wu Shigong was severely punished because of his disrespect to Shang Fang's sword and his roar during the military meeting of the Chinese army.Remove all official positions and be swept to the end.Our Wu Shigong has become Wu Baiding.

But Wu Shigong didn't want to have that kind of dream of returning to the capital to enjoy life.In the punishment order, Wu Shigong was still ordered to serve in the Runing camp to take the crime and make meritorious service.And according to the arrangement of the order, Wu Shigong can only lead the two hundred guards in the Runing Camp.

After receiving the punishment order from the imperial court, Wu Shigong completely scoffed at it.What impact will this kind of punishment of changing the soup without changing the medicine have on Wu Shigong's status in the Runing Army?And such a fuss also brought some benefits. After a long wait, the Henan chief envoy Yamen finally allocated 8000 taels of military pay for the Runing Army.Although there is still a big difference between the amount allocated this time and the amount owed to the Runing Army, it is better than nothing.

After Chen Qiyu's encirclement and suppression army set off, they won all three battles in just a dozen days.The area controlled by the Runing Army has completely eliminated the threat of the peasant rebel army.

And the army led by Li Lu and Zhou Xun also got some credit.The brutality of the encirclement and suppression army is far better than that of the peasant rebel army.Even Li Lu and Zhou Xun sent back more than 2000 young men and women and a large amount of iron materials to Runing in a short period of time.There was no gold, silver and livestock, and those were all taken away by generals like Cao Wenzhao and Zuo Liangyu.

According to the news reported by the Shanchuan Department, Zuo Liangyu had asked someone to send dozens of boxes of gold, silver and jewelry back to his house in Henan.But when Xue Zhinong told Wu Shigong that the news was delivered by Tang Mei, who was forwarded by Xiao Gonggong to Zuo Liangyu, Wu Shigong finally remembered the ace female spy carefully crafted by Shanchuan Division.

However, although the peasant rebel army left Henan, the territory of Henan was also devastated by them.A large number of refugees, led by their leaders with various names, gathered into groups ranging from a few hundred to tens of thousands of people, rampaging through the countryside.

It is better to have cities connected by waterways in Henan, but the land traffic between inland cities has basically stopped, and people dare not go on the road without gathering a large number of pedestrians and caravans.And spending the night in the wild is a matter of life and death.Even the Guide Mansion, which did not implement the three decrees, was attacked by rioters several times.

The area controlled by the Runing Army is like a safe island in the ocean. Under the control and organization of iron fists, the refugees gathered showed the hard-working spirit of the working people of the Chinese nation. The entire area controlled by the Runing Army also broke out. Vigorous.

God is also beautiful.Since the beginning of the new year, the whole territory of Henan has experienced a rare favorable weather in recent years.And the young crops growing gratifyingly on the abandoned land throughout Runing Mansion also let the Runing Army see a bright future.

With the tranquility of the territory, the work of attracting investment has finally begun to bear fruit.Although most of them were invested by some local gentry, and the amount of investment was not too large, it was finally a good start.

The horses that Wu Shigong bought from Wu's Mansion in the capital were all in place, together with the captured cavalry, they finally had all the cavalry of the Runing Army.

The business of Sihai Commercial Bank, Sihai Bank and Salt Cargo also went smoothly.Taking advantage of the east wind of the great victory in Ruzhou, Sihai Commercial Bank and Sihai Bank opened their semicolons to cities throughout Henan.Under the protection of Daxing, they quickly became an armed trading firm, making a lot of huge profits by taking advantage of the insecurity of land transportation throughout Henan, and their business expanded rapidly.

With Yang Goudan's efforts, the equipment for the Runing Army's expansion and reorganization has basically been completed.The workshop division has already begun to work towards the direction of armed militias and stockpiling weapons.

The civil administration system of the Runing Army was basically laid down, and it quickly took control of the grassroots political power.And with Wu Shigong's high school scholarships sponsored by Guide Mansion, Wu Shigong also gained a good reputation in Guide and Runing Mansions.Coupled with the propaganda of the Runing Army in the academic and political textbooks, which vigorously claimed that Wu Shigong was a student of Yan Shenggong, Wu Shigong, a scholar who did not match his name, was actually boasted as a great master.

The situation of the Runing Army is thriving.But what Wu Shigong didn't know was that, on the bustling surface, a dark cloud was rapidly approaching. (To be continued..)
