Crazy at the end of the Ming Dynasty

In his memorial, Hong Chengchou proposed to the imperial court that Wu Shigong and his Runing Army should be included in his account.In addition, Wu Shigong's disrespect for Hong Chengchou will be severely punished.

In fact, what Hong Chengchou proposed is a paradox.If Wu Shigong and the Runing Army are to be brought under Hong Chengchou's account, then Wu Shigong must be granted an official position and brought into the bureaucratic system of the Ming Dynasty. .It may not be that the imperial court promoted Wu Shigong first, and then cut off all Wu Shigong's official positions. Isn't that a child's play?

In fact, Hong Chengchou certainly knew that his proposal was a paradox. He just handed over this thorny problem to let Emperor Chongzhen and the important officials in the court worry about this thorny problem.

But then Henan Governor Xuanmo's memorial came again, and in his memorial he mentioned the issue of Wu Shigong and the Runing Army.

Xuanmo first explained to the imperial court how he and the Henan government army dealt with the peasant rebel army who entered Henan for the second time.And emphatically explained to the imperial court that Xuanmo had no choice but to place the main force of the Henan government army along the Yellow River to protect the important cities such as Kaifeng and Luoyang along the Yellow River.

Then we talked about the Runing Army.Of course, Xuan Mo also explained that under his command, the Runing Army overcame the difficulties of having a small force and a large defensive area, defeated the peasant rebel army several times, and achieved fruitful results.It was only because the peasant rebel army was really powerful that they formed a defensive gap that allowed them to escape from the Runing Mansion to Fengyang.

Here, Xuan Mo said a fair word for the Runing Army: Some mistakes in work will be blamed, but those who don't work will be safe, so who will work for the court in the future?Of course, Xuan Mo unceremoniously took the command credit for the victory of the Runing Army on himself.

At the end of the memorial, Xuanmo also proposed to the court: Wu Shigong should be restored to his official position and included in the bureaucratic system, the number of soldiers in the Runing Army should be increased, and food and salaries should be paid in full according to the treatment of soldiers.

Xuan Mo's reason is also very simple: this time Fengyang fell.It was because of Xuan Mo's poor command of the Runing Army.If Xuan Mo could directly command the Runing Army, then the Runing Army might be able to respond in time and stop the peasant rebel army in time to save Fengyang.

Of course Xuan Mo knew about the impeachment of Wu Shigong by his subordinate officials, he was sending charcoal in the timely manner, showing his favor to Wu Shigong in a curve.Of course, Xuan Mo is not willing to give up the Runing Army to Hong Chengchou, he wants Wu Shigong to lead the Runing Army to pacify Henan.

Strangely, Wu Shigong at this time was like a piece of fragrant steamed bun, which aroused Hong Chengchou and Xuan Mo's scramble.

The memorials of these two heavyweight ministers made Emperor Chongzhen and the court officials hesitate.Could it be that after Wu Shigong committed so many things?If you want to give him an official promotion, isn't that encouraging him to do anything wrong?

At this moment, King Chong's impeachment memorial arrived.Emperor Chongzhen took a look: the temples were sealed off, the princess was robbed, and the people in the palace were beaten.After seeing it, even Emperor Chongzhen gasped.Xue Hou's son-in-law must have taken the courage of Xiong Xinbao, and even did such a lawless thing.It annoyed the feudal lords who used to monopolize this kind of industry.

But Emperor Chongzhen was also puzzled.What does Wu Shigong want to do with such a frenzy?Didn't you notice that he lost his mind before?If this happens abnormally, there will be a demon.

It was Wang Chengen who answered Emperor Chongzhen's question. He simply said: "Then Xuehou's son-in-law is deliberately committing a crime. He wants to escape back to the capital!"

Only then did Emperor Chongzhen suddenly realize.According to the normal handling procedures, of course Wu Shigong should be severely punished according to the charges.But Wu Shigong didn't commit any crimes that should be imprisoned or beheaded, so Wu Shigong should be taken back to the capital and confined in his own mansion to be guarded.

Especially the princess.He had never been canonized in the first place, and he was an incomparable relative with Emperor Chongzhen, so he could just ignore it.But now as long as it is made public, the imperial court has no choice but to confer the name of the princess.And out of the face of the royal family, Wu Shigong was asked to find a way to marry her.

As for how Wu Shigong should be married, let's not talk about it for the time being.The most important thing is that the imperial court had to give Wu Shigong, a Yibin, a honorary title. Isn't this the official position that Wu Shigong was deprived of just now?oh!right!Then Wu Shigong was still a white man, isn't this giving him an honorary title?

More importantly, Wu Shigong was finally able to escape war-prone Henan through this conviction, and return to the capital to enjoy the blessings.

So it turned out that the son-in-law was playing this kind of wishful thinking!Emperor Chongzhen was furious immediately, and he immediately decided that not only could Wu Shigong not be punished for his crime, but he would also be promoted.So Emperor Chongzhen immediately discussed with the cabinet and the six ministers and decided that all the crimes committed by Wu Shigong should be offset by merits and demerits, and then Wu Shigong would be awarded the title of deputy general based on his remaining merits.

As for the princess, she left Chongwang's memorial on the grounds that there was no real evidence.At this time, it is necessary for Wu Shigong and his Runing Army to fight, so King Chong should not add to the chaos.

The world is really big, full of wonders!Wu Shigong was the first in history to be promoted because of the emperor's anger.You all tell me how many records Wu Shigong has set, how many firsts he has achieved?Wu Shigong himself didn't expect that when he wanted to be promoted, he was pushed to the end, and when he didn't want to be an official, the deputy general's official hat fell from the sky.

The impeachments of other officials were all retained, and the magistrate of Ruzhou also returned to the Ministry of Officials to select officials as usual.Because Ruzhou is also an important place, let Yu Zilian, Wu Shigong's number one enemy, not return to the Ministry of Officials, and go directly to succeed him.Anyway, Yu Zilian is going to be promoted this time, so he will take over to guard the periphery of the Runing Army.Therefore, the imperial court will never relax its guard against the military attache.

At this time, Wu Shigong didn't even know that there was a pie in the sky, and he was waiting for Hong Chengchou's army to go to Xinyang.

From the moment they entered Runing Mansion, Hong Chengchou's army felt strong hostility.Although the local officials were greeted at the border under the leadership of Guan Kesong, the prefect of Runing, and although Guan Kesong offered five thousand shi as military rations, groups of people dressed in common people's costumes were watching the army's progress along the way. Every move, always reminding Hong Chengchou's army not to violate discipline.

"His grandma! Looking at me is like looking at bandit soldiers. I don't believe that they really dare to use knives." A chief executive finally couldn't help getting angry. He brought dozens of his own soldiers and wanted to cross the border. A team of surveillance "Min Zhuang" is going to wander around, and if they have the opportunity, they will fight Caogu again.

"Stop!" The leader of the "Min Zhuang" team immediately stopped those people from approaching, "Military masters, please understand, it is the young crop period, and the fields cannot be trampled. Please follow the road!"

"What young crops?" That boss Qian suddenly became angry, "I am going to fight bandits, whoever dares to stop me, I will treat him like a bandit!"

The other generals in Hong Chengchou's army watched the conflict with cold eyes.This Chief Qian is just a temptation, as long as those "folk strong" in Runing Mansion soften, they will immediately let go of their hooves and run wild.

There were not many people in this team of "Min Zhuang", only more than 200 people. As soon as they saw Mr. Qian approaching, they immediately formed two square formations and took up their weapons.

"What? Do you want to make a move?" Although Mr. Qian still had an arrogant tone, he stopped with his soldiers.

The leader of the "Min Zhuang" on the opposite side was not moved at all. He put a whistle in his mouth and waited coldly for the move of Mr. Qian.

"Come back!" a lieutenant behind shouted.

That Qian Zong was the lieutenant general's subordinate. After hearing the order, he immediately retreated and returned to his team.But the boss Qian's mouth was still hard, he muttered: "My lord, wait for the younger ones to go up and try their weight. Don't look at them like dogs, they will definitely have diarrhea when they see blood."

The deputy general snorted and said, "It's not certain who has diarrhea. Didn't you see it? They are soldiers!"

It was only then that Mr. Qian noticed the expressions of those "Min Zhuang", they didn't intend to back down at all, and there was a desire to fight in their eyes.The boss Qian couldn't help but shiver. These people are not only soldiers, but also veterans who have fought in wars and seen blood.

"Fuck! Where did so many soldiers come from in this hellish place!" the boss Qian scolded angrily.

"We still don't want to be the first bird. Wait! Those calf from Liaodong are so arrogant, and sooner or later they will fight with the local soldiers. We are still fishing in troubled waters!" The lieutenant general said.

During the march of Hong Chengchou's army, such phenomena emerged endlessly.However, because of the restraint of both sides, there was no conflict. At most, after the two sides opened up, they were stopped by their respective generals.

And Hong Chengchou opened his eyes and closed his eyes to this. If his army went too far, he would of course stop it; but proper testing is also a means of judging the strength of Runing's army.And Hong Chengchou also believes that the three thousand Guanning cavalry led by Zu Kuan are most likely to conflict with the Runing army.

But to the surprise of Hong Chengchou and other generals, Guan Ning's iron cavalry, who had always been arrogant, was also like a good baby, and they all marched along the marching route obediently, without doing anything wrong.They are all old acquaintances of Wu Shigong, how dare they fight on the territory of Runing Army?

Think about what Wu Shigong did in Denglai!Fighting with allies, beheading allies' corpses to claim credit, competing with Guan Ning's iron cavalry for loot, beating Guan Ning's cavalry's rising star Wu Sangui, openly resisting the commander Zhu Dadian's confiscated military orders...all of this, why don't you let Wu Shigong know about it? Guan Ning's iron cavalry will be three points in fear?

And now it's still at the home ground of the Runing Army, Guan Ning's iron cavalry had a brain twitch before going to provoke Wu Shigong.To sum it up with Zu Kuan's words: "If Crazy Wu doesn't mess with us, God will bless us!" (To be continued...)
