Crazy at the end of the Ming Dynasty

As the control area of ​​the Runing Army, Guide Mansion can naturally request the Runing Army to give priority to its security.But this time, if only judging from the results, the Runing Army definitely did not fulfill their responsibilities.Although this situation can be explained, the local gentry in Guide Mansion will have some complaints against the Runing Army.

And Wu Shigong's words at least gave those gentry another target to vent, and there would be less complaints against the Runing Army.Of course, there are also Runing Army's own considerations.

In this battle with the peasant rebel army, the full strength of the Runing Army has actually surfaced.The previous strategy of keeping a low profile can no longer be carried out.

But Emperor Chongzhen and the big bosses in the court knew that with the strong army of the Runing Army, in a crisis, they would definitely let the Runing Army fight south and north, and squeeze the Runing Army to its fullest, and they would not at all To consider the healthy development of the Runing Army, so this is what Wu Shigong is most worried about.

For this reason, Wu Shigong could use the reason that the damage in this battle was too great to delay for a period of time, but no matter how much he delayed, he would not be able to delay for fifteen days, so Wu Shigong had to find another way to find a way for the Runing army to recuperate.

And now such a remark in public immediately made public the conflicts between Wu Shigong, Governor Xuan Mo, and Chief Soldier Zuo Liangyu.In this way, if the imperial court mobilizes the Runing Army through Governor Xuanmo in the future, Wu Shigong can completely obey orders but not listen to them.Because there is a deep conflict between them, it is easy to fall into another wrangling lawsuit, which also makes the Runing Army not accept the transfer of the court in disguise.

Wu Shigong's only loss might be: Xuan Mo no longer allocated food and salaries to the Runing Army and let Wu Shigong wear small shoes in officialdom.But the Ru Ning army can't get any food and salary now, and Wu Shigong himself is now being beaten to the end, so this loss is no threat to Wu Shigong.

So it can be said that Wu Shigong has always believed that a man's constant whining is a manifestation of his own incompetence, but Wu Shigong himself will complain.But his whining has always had other purposes.

But Wu Shigong's complaints have already annoyed Zhou Junwu.As the representative of governor Xuanmo, although Zhou Junwu couldn't interrupt just now out of etiquette, he wanted to refute a long time ago.

After finally waiting for Wu Shigong to finish speaking, Zhou Junwu immediately retorted: "Brother Chang Jing's words are wrong! How did you know that the governor did not send troops to meet the Shaanxi rebels? How did you know that the Zuo Zongbing was not for the safety of Kaifeng? , had to neglect the defense of the Yellow River? On the contrary, the students saw that brother Chang Jing had already trapped a large number of Shaanxi bandits in Ruzhou, but somehow let them go and came here to Guide. How can we argue against this reasoning?"

Zhou Junwu didn't know that his words had offended everyone present.All the officials present here are in Guide Mansion, and the Runing Army came here to rescue Guide Mansion, so that these officials can take care of the overall situation.Abandoning the small family for everyone?That's still saving money!So Zhou Junwu really needs to practice more in the officialdom.

However, Wu Shigong's counterattack was even sharper. He shouted: "Then I will make it clear to you! The south of Guide Mansion is Fengyang Mansion. Do you dare to say that Fengyang Mansion is not important? It is because of the governor's disorderly command. As a result, my Runing army can only take care of one end. Now Runan is also in an undefended situation. In case the Shaanxi bandits enter Fengyang through Runan at that time, I want to see how the governor will go to the Holy One What about confession?"

These words were so loud that Zhou Junwu was so shocked that he was speechless.Who dares to say that the emperor's hometown and ancestral grave are not important?This is the top political event in the Ming Dynasty!

But the civil servants present are fine.Because they are all officials.The family property is also not in Guide Mansion, but local military officers like Zhao Ming will quit. This time, the peasant rebel army is raging in Guide Mansion, and their properties outside the city have suffered heavy losses. He hated it even more.

So Zhao Ming immediately chimed in and said, "You can't rely on anyone! The local children are the most reassuring!"

When Mrs. Hou saw this situation, it was about to develop into a denunciation meeting against Governor Xuan Mo.So he opened his mouth and said with a slow forehead: "Chang Jing, let's talk about the future. Now the Shaanxi bandits are still circling in the north of Guide, what do you think should be done?"

As soon as the words are exported.All the people present pricked up their ears. In fact, they all hoped that the Runing Army would drive the peasant rebels far away, for fear that Wu Shigong would abandon them now and lead the Runing Army back to the Runing Mansion.

"Grandpa, this junior brought his son to Guide to completely eliminate the ravages of the Shaanxi bandits on Guide. So far, more than 3 Shaanxi bandits have been defeated and nine bandit chieftains have been killed. Of course, this is also on your behalf. A big victory obtained under strategic planning."

As soon as Wu Shigong said these words, the scene immediately cheered up, because these officials knew that Wu Shigong wanted to share the credit with everyone.

"But even so, the Shaanxi bandits in the north of Guide are still powerful. It is impossible to wipe them out, they can only be sent out as gifts. And it also needs the cooperation of other officials and troops, otherwise, they will return without success. many."

Hearing what Wu Shigong said, Qian Zhifu immediately asked the question he was most concerned about: "Mr. Wu, are you saying that if the Shaanxi bandits don't leave for a day, Erbu won't leave Guide for a day?"

Wu Shigong nodded and replied: "Exactly!"

All the officials present breathed a sigh of relief.It was Qian Zhifu who then asked: "How much local supply does the Erbu still need?"

Since the Runing Army sacrificed their own defense of the Runing Mansion, then the Guide Mansion should have a thing or two for the Runing Army.

Unexpectedly, Wu Shigong's answer was not greedy at all: "This time Guide is dilapidated, and Wansheng can't bear to increase the burden on the local area. As long as the government can provide enough food and grass for the Ru Ning army, and send doctors and medical centers to take good care of you." The Ning army is wounded, but the rest are not needed."

In fact, Wu Shigong led the main force of the Runing Army to aid Guide Mansion, so he did not plan to go back in a short time.He also has three considerations:

The first point, of course, is to make a gesture of valuing Guided places, and to give peace of mind to the gentry in those places;

The second point is that the headquarters of the Runing Army already has enough troops to defend, at least it can fully support the return of the Runing Army;

The third point is the most important.We should take advantage of this opportunity to eliminate some of the main force of the peasant rebel army. If we can eliminate one another, it will also put the Runing army in a relatively favorable situation in the future battle with the peasant rebel army.

So, even if Qian Zhifu doesn't want to keep him, Wu Shigong is also going to let the Runing Army stay in Guide Mansion.As for the possible threat of Zhang Xianzhong's department to the Runan area, it can only be ignored temporarily.It is not always necessary to give up the real enemy in front of you for the sake of possible threats.

As for Qian Zhifu's initiative to provide Runing Army with the protection fee of Guide Mansion, Wu Shigong didn't want to take it.Originally, these protection fees were not much, and the Runing Army was already going to sell it to those local gentry, so why let them pay for it again and feel grudges?

But upon hearing Wu Shigong's refusal, the old master Hou immediately said: "Although Chang Jing is polite, Erbu Erlang also needs a reward. That's it! The old man took out two thousand pieces of silver, and the rest of the virtuous people added three thousand. The hearts of the people!"

Wu Shigong hurriedly wanted to decline again, but suddenly he saw joy on the faces of the officials present.He suddenly understood that there was a reason for the army to reward those officials, and there was also a reason for those officials to plunder the common people.

Although I had good intentions and wanted not to increase the burden on Guide Mansion, I unknowingly blocked the way of making money for those officials.Wu Shigong couldn't help admiring Mrs. Hou in his heart: "This ginger is still old and spicy!"

That being the case, of course Wu Shigong is not polite.He immediately bowed to Old Master Hou and Qian Zhifu and said: "The junior is ashamed to accept it."

The banquet that night can be described as enjoyable.The only one who felt uncomfortable was Yu Zilian, he was afraid that Wu Shigong would criticize him at any time.

And Zhou Junwu would not be uncomfortable at all.Although he was also invited to the banquet, he had no face to attend, so he curled up in the bed and fell asleep.Now Zhou Junwu is thinking about returning to Governor Xuan Mo's side as soon as possible. (To be continued..)
