Crazy at the end of the Ming Dynasty

() And this time Wu Shigong plans to send a hundred soldiers to Zheng's house, so they are not mercenaries, but to defend their own ships.

Wu Shigong has been there for so long, and now he can see clearly what Henan is.To put it nicely, Henan is the hinterland of the Central Plains; to put it bluntly, Henan is the site of the Fourth World War.

Where Wu Shigong lives in Runing Mansion and Guide Mansion, the peasant rebel army in the west will not be able to do it; as long as the Hou Jin army enters the pass in the north, the Ming army in Henan will bear the brunt of the king; and in Shandong in the east, Wu Shigong has also encountered There was the Denglai Rebellion in Kong Youde; in Huguang to the south, a part of the peasant rebel army had already been active there, and it might become a prairie fire at any time.

For this reason, Wu Shigong was indeed a little timid, especially after he was blackmailed by his father Wu Weizhong in Beijing City and despised by nobles like Xu Jue in Nanjing City, Wu Shigong completely gave up on foreign aid.

Although Wu Shigong also thought that his Runing Army had some climate, he was definitely not arrogant enough to think that with his current strength, he could wipe out the two major military groups, the Peasant Rebel Army and the Houjin Army.Therefore, Wu Shigong, who is very timid in nature, must find a way out for himself.

What retreat?That is the Jiangnan area.Over the years, Wu Shigong has also read a lot of history books. He knows that there was also a Northern and Southern Song Dynasty in history. Therefore, in case of drastic changes in China, it is the last choice to settle down and rule by the river.During the previous discussion, Wu Shigong proposed to open the passage for the Runing Army to the Huaihe River and the Yangtze River, which was also based on the consideration of finding a way out.

However, if we want to rule the river, we must have a strong navy on the Yangtze River.After hearing that Zheng Jiao sent the ship to him today, Wu Shigong immediately realized that he could start training his own sailors.

Due to the considerable complementary interests, the two major forces Wu Shigong and Zheng Zhilong quickly entered the honeymoon period of cooperation.But it is undeniable that at this stage, no matter how you look at it, Zheng Zhilong is always on the strong side. The reason why the cooperation between the two parties will be relatively equal is because Wu Shigong's honorable aura played a certain role .

After seeing off Zheng Jiao and shopkeeper Zheng.Chang Meng returned to Wu Shigong's side.Seeing that Chang Meng was still frowning, Wu Shigong asked with a smile, "Why? You don't want to do something this time?"

Chang Meng quickly replied: "It is true that I am reluctant to leave the master's side. But the younger one also knows that this time the master is flattering the younger one, and the younger one will do everything he can to do what the master told him to do well. I am afraid that the younger one will be stupid and make mistakes. If something misses the master's important event, the little one will die."

Wu Shigong smiled and comforted: "No one can do things when they come up. You have been with me for such a long time, and you have seen how many people in our Runing Army who used to have no skills. They have gradually grown up. As a party of officials, they are now able to stand on their own. I don't believe that you have been studying by my side for so long, and you still can't learn something?"

"Look at Shumo, it's doing well now! You can't stay in my house for the rest of your life, you should share my worries!"

"You only need to remember two points. In this wasteland reclamation business, the harvested food and grass must belong to our Runing Army, and the armed forces established must be under the command of our Runing Army. You can flexibly control other things. Grasp this Two points, you can't miss the big things. You also need to be able to employ people. There are officers sent by our Runing Army to fight, and officials sent by our Runing Army to garrison the fields. You just need to grasp the general direction. Don't pretend to be ignorant Know how to command blindly, and know how to give credit, in fact, isn’t the credit for all your credit all yours?”

"Come to me if you have anything to do. You can also find Mr. Deng and Uncle Yongli. They will help you to some extent. Be careful! Nothing is important, your own safety is the most important! Bring it back. No matter what, master, I will always have a mouthful of food for you!"

"Master!" Chang Meng also revealed his true feelings. He knelt down and kowtowed to Wu Shigong a few times, wiped the corners of his eyes and said, "If the little one can't behave like a human being after this time, then the little one will die outside. Not coming back either."

When Zheng Jiao left, he not only took away the deed of the Jimin Land Reclamation Firm, but also took away a hundred fully armed soldiers carefully selected by the Runing Army.

This time, Zhang Rubao, the former captain of the Shanchuan Division's action team, was leading the team, and Wu Shigong had already promoted him to the official position of team leader.And the 100 people in Fujian are all high-ranking and low-ranking, and the youngest soldier also has the position of team leader.Wu Shigong cultivated those 100 people as the seeds of his navy.

Wu Shigong also confessed to Zhang Rubao that their time in Fujian was only one year, and they wanted their soldiers to learn more from the experience of the Zheng family navy, and Wu Shigong would send new soldiers to replace them after one year.And Zhang Rubao and the others will come back to build the Runing Army's own navy.

However, the selection of these 100 people is not easy.After repeated screening in the entire Runing Army, these one hundred veterans who could swim were barely selected.This made Wu Shigong just shake his head. It is really too difficult to choose some people with shipboard experience among the mainlanders!

Among Wu Shigong's newly adopted orphans this time, all children over the age of seven will be included. Healthy male orphans under the age of 14 were selected. There are more than 3000 such orphans, and Wu Shigong formed them into the new boy camp of the Runing Army.Let Chi Ming be the new commander of the boy camp.

In the boy camp, more than 12 orphans over the age of 600 will also be trained as reserve sailors.And one-third of those under the age will also undergo training as a reserve navy soldier.Wu Shigong just wants to build his navy echelon as soon as possible, and he would rather people wait for the boat than the boat wait for others.

And Xue Qiang's action to exterminate the leopard's head really created a river of blood.In just one month, more than 1 heads were slaughtered, and along the road of the Runing Army's extermination, Jingguan built with heads was erected.

And among those people who were massacred, many of them were just people from towns and cities who were forced to provide them with some supplies because of the power of the Leopard Head Bandits, and the Runing Army carried out Wu Shigong's order and killed all the people in those towns Dogs and chickens are left alone.

This brutal behavior immediately aroused strong indignation from the local government and the people. The accusations against the Runing Army and the impeachment of Wu Shigong flew to Runing and the capital like snowflakes.But Wu Shigong didn't care about it anymore.How else can the imperial court deal with the Runing Army?Do you dare to disband?As for Wu Shigong himself, that is really light without an official.

However, after this kind of behavior spread to Runing, there was also a strange sound within the Runing Army.Zhizhi wrote Wu Shigong a strongly worded letter of resignation.And when Wu Shigong personally wanted to explain one or two things above, he was also rejected.

Even Father Carrera, who had just started to build a small church, advised Wu Shigong tactfully through Carelli, and even Deng Qifan and other officials veiledly advised Wu Shigong that enough is enough.

But at this time, Wu Shigong was a little bit hard to get off.Fortunately, under such a terrifying threat from the Runing Army, all the cities and towns that encountered the Leopard Head gang resisted desperately, causing the Leopard Head gang to completely lose their supplies.In addition, under Xue Qiang's relentless pursuit, the Leopard Head gang soon fell apart, and the Leopard Head was also beheaded by the mutiny and surrendered to the Runing Army.

This revenge finally had a relatively satisfactory result.This also made Wu Shigong greatly relieved.But in this way, the reputation of Runing Army can be regarded as completely spread in Henan.

And the arms deal of Shanchuan Division also began to bear fruit.In fact, among the bandits in Henan, some are complete bandits like Leopard Head, and some are actually gangs formed by local wealthy families to protect themselves.They are both bandits and peasants, and their main purpose is to keep their own side safe.

And most of the arms trade of the Runing Army faced these gangs who formed villages, because many of these gangs were controlled by local gentry.Shanchuan Division has also inquired. Under the original circumstances, apart from making some of the weapons among the bandits, they were mainly bought from Shanxi merchants. (To be continued.)
