Crazy at the end of the Ming Dynasty

Before retreating, Wu Shigong sent a small group of cavalry to send back Yan Tongzhi in Ruzhou City, and informed him that Ruzhou City was temporarily safe.Of course Wu Shigong would not explain to Yan Tongzhi the fact that the peasant rebels paid for roads, so when they parted, Yan Tongzhi, who had been under house arrest for a long time, yelled, thinking that Wu Shigong's Runing Army had abandoned Ruzhou City .

Wu Shigong just took the opportunity to punch and kick Yan Tongzhi, and also let out a little bit of anger, and took revenge on the officials of Ruzhou who helped the tyrant at that time.Anyway, Wu Shigong also thought about what to say to the court: There is no reason to beat the mentally ill.

After being thrown back to Ruzhou City, Yan Tongzhi, who was beaten by Wu Shigong with black nose and swollen eyes, discovered that the South Road Peasant Rebel Army was indeed far away from Ruzhou City, so he could only knock out his teeth and swallow it in his stomach for the time being.

It was not until the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month that the cautiously retreating Runing Army returned to Ye County.Because he was afraid that the peasant rebel army on the South Road would see a flaw, Wu Shigong did not dare to let any troops retreat first.So until this time, Xue Yong led his infantry regiment to rush back to Germany.But that's it, the most precious two days have been delayed.

Although this time Wu Shigong cheated a lot of property out of nothing by using the illusion of the peasant rebel army on the South Road, and even if these properties were sold in Beijing, the value might be higher, and it might exceed 10 taels, but Wu Shigong was not worried at all. reduce.

After all, the 30 peasant rebel army can be said to be unscathed, and their threat has not been eliminated at all.As for the agreement with the peasant rebel army, Wu Shigong didn't take it seriously at all.It is estimated that when the conditions are ripe, the leaders of the peasant rebel army will immediately tear up this agreement.

Although he didn't know why the leaders of the peasant rebel army had a cramp and wanted to give him a heavy gift to ask the Runing army to retreat, but Wu Shigong definitely understood that those leaders didn't know the real battlefield situation.

As long as these leaders react in the future, the 30 peasant rebels will soon make a comeback.But now Wu Shigong can only extinguish the place where the fire is the biggest like a firefighter.Wu Shigong can only ignore many things that may happen in the future.

On the ninth day of the twelfth lunar month, after Wu Shigong left an infantry regiment in Ye County, the whole army rushed back to the headquarters of Runing Mansion.But at the time of departure, Xue Zhinong, director of the Mountains and Rivers Department, rushed to Ye County to report the latest situation to Wu Shigong, so Wu Shigong took Xue Zhinong with him.

"How is the situation in Guide Mansion? How is the situation in Huaiqing Mansion near the Yellow River?" Wu Shigong asked while riding a horse.

"The villain came out of his home on the sixth day of the lunar new year. At that time, everything was normal. However, because he had to detour to Guide to return to Runing, the real situation in the local area may have changed." Xue Zhinong replied.

"It's fine!" Wu Shigong finally let go of his worries, "What about the situation at home?"

"The Lord Tianli has been training the new army these days. Director Yang's workshop is also stepping up the manufacture of weapons. But it is too late to produce firecrackers. We can only make some guns and swords. First, we can make those without weapons. The Zhuangzhuang team is armed. Now nearly [-] new troops have been trained."

"Oh? Not bad!" Wu Shigong smiled happily.

"It's not just that. The craftsmen and apprentices of Mr. Yang's workshop also hid a lot of firecrackers and weapons, and they themselves trained more than 2000 people. You don't need to say, my lord, those people are all Good seedlings of soldiers! Training is very fast. And they have been experimenting with firecrackers, and they are even better than ordinary soldiers in shooting firecrackers. These people are clamoring to defend our Runing army."

"Nonsense!" Wu Shigong scolded with a smile. "I can't bear to let these precious bumps go to the battlefield!"

Xue Zhinong also laughed out loud.He went on to say: "There is more! The morale of the boy camp in Chi Ming is also high. They are practicing with the small guns and knives we gave them for training every day, and they have gone to Mr. Deng and Mr. Li several times to ask for orders."

"It's more nonsense!" Although Wu Shigong scolded loudly, he also laughed more happily, "The children in Tongziying are the future of our Runing Army. Look, Xiao Xinzi and Chi Ming have grown up now. Is it? If there is something good or bad about them now, don’t we feel bad about it? What do you want us adults to do? Hurry up and send the order back. Let them all stay at home. When they are needed, I will I will arrange it myself."

Xue Zhinong quickly explained with a smile: "Uncle! There is no need to be so anxious. Master Li and Mr. Deng have already given orders. The words are the same as what you are saying now. Now they are all staying at home honestly."

At this time, Wu Shigong was basically at ease with his family.Because of the removal of the strength of ten militia groups, the headquarters of the Runing Army already has 4000 new troops, and there are also 3000 people from Qiao Song and Xue Qiang in the city of Runing Prefecture.In addition, if there is a change, two or three thousand people can be transferred from the village and road guard teams in the mountainous areas of Runan and Rubei.It is definitely not possible to fight in the field, but it is more than enough to keep the Runing army camp and the Runing prefecture.

"The news about the bandits on the North Road is very important this time, and your Shanchuan Division has done a good job!" Wu Shigong praised Xue Zhinong.

"It should be. Uncle!" Xue Zhinong replied, "However, the manpower arranged by our Shanchuan Division in Kaifeng City has lost more than half this time. There were eight people who sent letters, but only two came back, alas——!"

Wu Shigong was silent for a while, and asked, "Have the homes of those who have not returned been settled?"

"According to the standards of our Runing Army, everything has been arranged."

"Ask their family members again, and agree to any requests that are not excessive."

"Yes! Uncle!"

"Also, where are the two messengers now?"

"Temporarily arrange to rest in the camp."

"After I return to Runing, you can make arrangements, and I will personally award them. This time they have made great contributions."

"Yes! Uncle!"

Just as I was talking about this, four cavalrymen carrying red flags suddenly appeared in the distance. They were the couriers of the Runing Army delivering an urgent message. In front of Wu Shigong.

"My lord! Urgent letter!"

Tao Xin immediately jumped off the horse, and personally delivered the chicken feather letter in the messenger's hand to Wu Shigong.Wu Shigong took out the letter for a look, immediately threw the letter on the ground, and cursed: "Zuo Liangyu, you bastard!"

The letter that came was sent back from the secret post arranged by the Runing Army on the bank of the Yellow River in Huaiqing Mansion.The letter explained that the peasant rebel army on the North Road was crossing the river on the night of the third day of the twelfth lunar month, but Zuo Liangyu, the commander in charge of the defense along the Yellow River, flinched in the face of the enemy and retreated to Kaifeng City, letting the peasant rebel army move.

It just so happened that Xue Zhinong had not left for long before this letter was delivered to the headquarters of the Runing Army.After Deng Qifan and Xue Zhinong saw it, they immediately dispatched a thousand new troops to Qian Qi's Iron Triangle, and then sent fast horses to Wu Shigong's place.

Wu Shigong immediately asked: "How long has it been since Yongzi set off? Where did you think he arrived?"

Tao Xin replied from the side: "It was at noon yesterday. It has been nearly ten hours. They took away more than 300 carts. According to the standard of our Runing army's rapid march, they should have been [-] miles away from us." It's around here."

Wu Shigong nodded, and immediately ordered: "Let Sanhe's cavalry corps prepare and set off immediately to reinforce Qian Qi."

"Yes! My lord!" Tao Xin's answer was quite standard.

At this moment, someone suddenly shouted four or fifty feet away: "Brother Chang Jing! Brother Chang Jing! Let me come here!"

Wu Shigong saw that it was Zhou Junwu who had been released and was stopped by his own soldiers.Wu Shigong suppressed the anger in his chest, and waved his hands to let the soldiers release Zhou Junwu.

"Brother Changjing! Why did you withdraw your troops from Ruzhou?" Zhou Junwu's first words when he saw Wu Shigong were scolding.

"Haven't the Shaanxi bandits been repulsed? What if we don't withdraw our troops? Are you drinking the northwest wind?" Wu Shigong replied angrily.

"But you...!" Zhou Junwu was furious after being under house arrest for so long, "Okay! Then, Brother Chang Jing, why didn't you defeat these Shaanxi bandits in Ruzhou? Why don't you go north to reinforce the Governor? Don't tell me that your Runing Battalion is not strong enough. The students have seen clearly these days that your Runing Battalion will definitely be able to fight. The students don't want to know what's going on. Get lost, go north as soon as possible!"

Zhou Junwu's threatening tone was undisguised, and he had clearly hinted at Wu Shigong: Don't think that Zhou Junwu couldn't see the tricks between the Runing Army and the Peasant Rebel Army, but let Wu Shigong obediently obey Zhou Junwu's orders.

But Wu Shigong suddenly became angry, and he yelled: "What a fart when you get lost! What a fart when you go to the north! You think I really want to withdraw? What do you know?"

"I just got the news that the Shaanxi bandits on the North Road have entered our Henan from the Yellow River section of Huaiqing! But what is Zuo Liangyu doing in the defense section? Fearing the enemy like a tiger, hiding in Kaifeng City to drink milk! Now the The Shan bandits have let go of their hands and feet, and are coming towards Guide Mansion."

"And the Shan bandits on the East Road have also entered Kaifeng mansion, and they can threaten my Runing mansion at any time. Let me go north? The governor sent you to urge the troops very diligently, but no one was sent to send news of the Shan bandits. Make me look like a blind man. How dare you let me go north?"

"I'm in charge of the Runing Mansion, not the Henan Mansion or Kaifeng Mansion. But what's the current situation? The Shan bandits on the three roads, and all the roads are going to be fought by my Runing Army! Then who will help? Me? That Zuo Liangyu hiding in Kaifeng City? Or the governor who doesn’t know where to hide now?”

"What a joke! Our Great Ming Dynasty has thousands of miles of fertile land and millions of soldiers! There are hundreds of thousands of Shaanxi bandits, but there is not a single official army to meet the enemy. Only our Runing Army! Our Runing Army!"

"You tell me! Where are the other officers and soldiers? Where are the officers and soldiers!" (To be continued...)
