Crazy at the end of the Ming Dynasty

So where did the Ming army come from?It was the Guidewei troops led by Zhao Ming.Moreover, the composition of this army was even more astonishing. Except for the more than 300 German guards brought by Zhao Ming, the remaining 700 soldiers were all the children of the German gentry and their servants.

Of course Zhao Ming is not a fool, he will not be in danger, his purpose of leading this army is to gild those gentry children.So Zhao Ming led the troops straight to Wu Shigong of the Runing Army.

"Veteran master! Why do you think of bringing this group of young soldiers to our Runing to play? You are so old, you still don't stay in Guide to enjoy the blessings. I have prepared all the wedding gifts for you this year!" He was already very familiar with each other, so Wu Shigong spoke more casually and made fun of Zhao Ming.

Zhao Ming was not angry either, he laughed "haha" a few times, and said, "Brother Changjing! We should still be called brothers! If you call me 'Veteran Master' again, I can't put my old face down anymore! I was planning to I came here by myself, but those country talents insisted on following, just wanting to share some of the credit. Tell me, what can I do?"

"Why is that so?" Wu Shigong asked strangely.

Wu Shigong knew that Zhao Ming would come to Runing years ago.Seeing the booming development of Runing's industry, our Commander Zhao couldn't sit still, so he wanted to rely on Wu Shigong's relationship to come to Runing to earn some money.Of course, as the commander of Guidewei, Zhao Ming was not allowed to leave his post without authorization, so he prepared to come with his own soldiers in the name of suppressing bandits.

For this, Wu Shigong also raised his hands to welcome, after all, this is also an investment!Besides, if Runing's products can be dumped into Guide, and the property of the Runing Army can be increased in Guide, it will be a matter of great benefit and no harm.

"Isn't Brother Chang Jing's reputation far and wide!" Zhao Ming replied rather embarrassingly.

We all know that Zhao Ming is a good man.So before leaving, he notified the officials and gentry in Guide, hoping to make everyone rich together.But Zhao Ming didn't expect that his announcement would arouse the enthusiasm of the Guide officials and gentry. [

First of all, almost all the dozens of well-known officials and gentry in Guide Mansion sent their children from the clan to go to Runing to find business opportunities with silver taels.Zhao Ming is also happy to see the success of this. If there is wealth, let's share it together!But gradually, things changed a bit.

In order to protect Yinliang and the children of their own clan, those official and gentry families sent their family servants to guard them, so the number of this investment and business group suddenly swelled to thousands of people.See this happening.The minds of those officials and gentry became active.

Since it is already in the name of suppressing bandits, and since there are already thousands of people, why not ask Wu Shigong to share some military exploits with this business group?

You know, Wu Shigong's Runing Army has achieved brilliant results in these years, and every time they won a big victory, they wiped out tens of thousands of bandits.As long as Wu Shigong leaked a little between his fingers.It is completely possible for the children of those officials and gentry to share in the military exploits.

You know, not all the sons of officials and gentry can enter the imperial examination.Official titles can only be obtained through military exploits.Even if you get a false title, it will be of great benefit in your family's security, business and going out in the future.

Moreover, the gentry families in the Guide Mansion all knew the powerful fighting power of the Runing Army, so they all thought that this gilding trip was absolutely risk-free. Who wouldn't want such a lucrative thing?

However, those officials and gentry also know that it is always a bit dishonest to take credit from the Runing Army.So the work of persuading Wu Shigong was put on Zhao Ming.

Hearing Zhao Ming explain the ins and outs with a wry smile, Wu Shigong immediately widened his eyes and complained: "Brother Ke! Those virtuous families are ignorant, don't you know how to fight? There is nothing wrong in this battle. You call me little brother, how can I protect them carefully?"

If the officials and gentry of Guide Mansion come to invest, Wu Shigong doesn't mind sharing some military exploits with them, just to maintain a good relationship with the gentry of Guide Mansion, Wu Shigong will do the same.But on the battlefield, swords and guns are sharp, if the noble children of those officials and gentry are hurt, Wu Shigong will turn into doing bad things with good intentions.

Moreover, the strength of the Runing Army was already very tight, in order to protect these young soldiers, Wu Shigong had to deploy additional troops to guard their safety.And now it's time for an all-out battle between the Ming army and the peasant army, which will cause the Runing army's strength to be stretched.So Wu Shigong was very resistant to this group of young soldiers going to the battlefield.

"That's right! That's right!" Zhao Ming also echoed repeatedly.If the sons of officials and gentry were injured, Zhao Ming, the military officer leading the team, would be more responsible.Besides, if these officials and gentry's sons went to the battlefield, Zhao Ming would have to lead the battle himself, such a dangerous thing, it was almost too old to marry a concubine.So Zhao Ming was also very resistant to this matter.

So Zhao Ming inquired: "Should we take them around to a safe place, chop off a few heads to deal with it, and then send them home safely?"

Wu Shigong thought for a while, and felt that this was the only way to go.So he said: "Let's do this! You stay in Runing for a month or so, first to see if there is any business to do, and you have to finish it first. Then before the twelfth lunar month, I will send people to guard you Go to Ye County for a turn. I will give you some military merit no matter what."

"In the future, it will be up to you, Brother Ke. You have to persuade these little ancestors to go back. Don't let them play crazy outside, just tell them that you have to go back to celebrate the New Year to worship the ancestors! Afterwards, the operation of military merits is anyway you Let’s do it, anyway, there is absolutely no problem here. Also, tell them to obey the arrangements of our Runing Army!”

Zhao Ming nodded and said, "That's the only way to go. Alas—!" [

After talking about this matter, Wu Shigong asked casually: "Which family's children from Guide Mansion have come this time?"

"Everyone who is famous is here. The leader is from the Hou family. You should have seen him. He is the grandson of the grandpa, the eldest son of Mr. Hou, and that one is Hou Fangyu."

"Ah?" Wu Shigong was surprised, "Has the Young Master returned to his hometown? Why did the Young Master come? What is the Young Master doing here?" Wu Shigong couldn't help asking a series of questions.

During his contacts with the Hou Mansion, Wu Shigong had of course already known Hou Fangyu, knowing that he had a brilliant literary talent at a young age, and had already faintly become a small talent in Guide.Moreover, Mrs. Hou and Hou Xun both had great expectations for Hou Fangyu, hoping that he would achieve success in fame and continue the glory of the family of officials and gentry in the Hou Mansion.
