Crazy at the end of the Ming Dynasty

"Your Excellency! Your Excellency! Your Excellencies! Be polite when you are late." Wu Shigong, wearing a literati robe and a scribe scarf, made a deep bow to all the civil and military officials in the hall, acting like a standard literati etiquette.

While the officials in the hall were stunned, Governor Hong Chengchou said with a smile: "You don't need to be polite, today is a private banquet, please take your seat quickly."

Under the guidance of the servants, Wu Shigong sat down at the bottom of the civil servants, subtly pushing down the military officer's seat.But at this time, the hall could no longer keep quiet, and the officials whispered to each other, talking about the "Various Pig Man" Wu Shigong.

Seeing that the two adults at the top frowned, Guan Kesong, who was the host, immediately shouted: "Today we welcome Master Wang, and Ru Ning is also very happy. Appreciate it. Hurry up!"

Following Guan Kesong's call, a group of kabuki dancers came to the hall under the arrangement of Li's mother, and more than a dozen flower cards accompanying the wine also accompanied the officials in turn.

When passing through Runing Fucheng, Guan Kesong invited the civil and military members of the army to attend the banquet arranged in the Fucheng.Before the banquet, Governor Hong Chengchou and Governor Xuan Mo both asked Guan Kesong whether they invited "Runing Xianliang" to accompany him.

Guan Kesong didn't know that the "Runing virtuous" mentioned by these two elders was referring to Wu Shigong, he thought it was a local celebrity and official, so he immediately replied: "Yes"!

But when the banquet started, Hong Chengchou and Xuan Mo were surprised to find that Wu Shigong was not present.He hurriedly asked Guan Kesong why, only then did Guan Kesong realize that he had screwed up.

No way, send a fast horse to send a message!As for Wu Shigong who received the news, it was hard for him to evade.Daying is so close to Fucheng, there is no reason to refuse this banquet anymore.Besides, what Wu Shigong was afraid of was the military council, the governor's precious sword.And this kind of private banquet is most verbal.A "poisonous snake" like Wu Shigong has never been afraid of anyone!

The banquet is full of singing and dancing, and a spring scene, and the process is not described in detail.Only after a few songs and dances, Xuan Mo left the hall with an excuse.After a while, a servant came to Wu Shigong's side and whispered in his ear, "Your Excellency, please!"

The servant led Wu Shigong to the back hall, Xuan Mo had already sat down on a chair, when he saw Wu Shigong coming in, he raised his hand to signal him to sit down opposite.The servant quickly brought a cup of tea, and then retreated immediately.

"Chang Jing! The old man let Si De (Zhou Junwu) come to you that day, not because of it. It's just because of Chang Jing's military training, and he is in Runing. It's a good talent, so I want Chang Jing to help me a little .” Xuan Mo spoke very politely.

When Wu Shigong heard that Xuan Mo had come up, he just made a fool of himself, without using any official language.So he also replied very respectfully: "You are ashamed of being late! I am quite disrespectful to brother Si De, and I apologize to the governor here."

"No problem!" Xuan Mo said with a smile and waved his hands. "Side is not like Chang Jing who has lived in a place for a long time. His human affairs are quite unfamiliar, but after he is an old man and neighbor, he hopes to support and support Chang Jing in the future. Chang Jing also needs to give him more advice!"

Wu Shigong hurriedly saluted again: "Your Excellency, Governor, you are polite."

After exchanging pleasantries, Wu Shigong waited for Xuan Mo to say what he wanted.Xuan Mo pondered for a while, and then said to Wu Shigong: "This time, the old man recommends to the imperial court. It is for the peace of the people in Henan. Although Chang Jing was impeached, but the old man is also a bit mean in the court, so it should be fine. Governor Hong is now I need strong help to encircle and suppress the bandit army, and this old man also needs our army to be calm. Is Chang Jing a choice?"

"What! What?" Wu Shigong opened his mouth in surprise, Xuan Mo's words contained too much information, and Wu Shigong couldn't react for a moment.Someone actually impeached himself, who is it?Wu Shigong did too many "bad things", so he couldn't judge for a while.Of course, Wu Shigong didn't know that, in fact, all his "bad things" were impeached by officials.

However, in Xuan Mo's words, it also revealed that Xuan Mo interceded with the court for Wu Shigong.Besides, of course Wu Shigong was unwilling to let the Runing Army leave the area, so he immediately replied in a defiant manner: "Wansheng follows the lead of the governor."

Xuan Mo nodded in satisfaction, and then said: "What else does Chang Jing need, the old man can do his best?" Xuan Mo waited for Wu Shigong to make an offer.

"Don't dare to trouble your lord Governor!" Wu Shigong came up and said politely, "But my son has suffered too many casualties this time, and it will cost a lot of money to reorganize the army, and the Runing Army has been in arrears of food and wages for a long time. Hope..."

"First give the chief [-] yuan in silver, and [-] stones in grain. Is it enough?" Xuan Mo interrupted Wu Shigong, and immediately stated the conditions.

Wu Shigong nodded with a smile, his heart should not be too dark.So he went on to say: "Erlang's armor is broken, especially the lack of gunpowder. I hope the governor will understand!"

"I'll give you three hundred pieces of armor and one thousand pieces of gunpowder."

"Runing and Guide's generals are commanded by Wan Sheng!"

"Can!"

"The two governments of Runing and Guide are beneficial to suppress the bandits, and Wansheng can make his own decisions."

"Can!"

"The late students don't need any more, please ask the governor for instructions!"

Wu Shigong knew that Xuan Mo agreed so readily, so Xuan Mo's request must be very high, but he never thought that Xuan Mo's request was actually what Wu Shigong dreamed of.

"The old man Yun Changjing leads an army of [-], which is not limited by the quota of the Ministry of War. In addition to Li Zongbing's regiment training town, the three prefectures of Nanyang, Runing, and Guide in the south must be kept safe. In addition, Ruzhou and the three southern counties of Kaifeng also need Long respect and trouble. How about long respect?"

From Xuan Mo's point of view, he was the lion who opened his mouth.The Runing Army has only so many people, but it is a very challenging task to pacify half of Henan.

But in Wu Shigong's view, he suddenly had sufficient reasons to enter the area he wanted to enter a long time ago, and Wu Shigong would never let this kind of beauty go.

But afraid that Xuan Mo would notice it, Wu Shigong pretended to be hesitant and thought for a while before replying: "Wan Sheng will certainly live up to the governor's entrustment. But the west of Nanyang is far away from the Runing Army, and Wan Sheng is beyond his reach. There are bandits in Shanxi. Therefore, Wansheng can only keep Nanyang Fucheng, and the rest of the place is powerless."

"It's okay!" Xuan Mo said with a smile, Wu Shigong's promise had already exceeded Xuan Mo's psychological bottom line. He originally thought that Wu Shigong would add at most three counties in Kaifeng Prefecture, "This time, Governor Hong will fight for the bandit army." Go and hope that he will succeed immediately. But in case the bandit army enters Henan again, Chang Jing can only protect the capital. This is not my fault in Henan, so Chang Jing does not need to worry too much!" (To be continued...)
