Crazy at the end of the Ming Dynasty

Wu Shigong is also a very bachelor, since he is already at a disadvantage, he wants to solve the immediate matter earlier.So he said: "I'll give you [-] shi at most. It's half of the family, so don't push yourself any further?"

"Okay!" Unexpectedly, Yu Zilian agreed without hesitation, and then he continued: "My army has been fighting fiercely again and again, and the weapons have been worn out a lot. I hope that Vice General Wu will lend a helping hand and give me two hundred guns and ten cannons! "

"Fart!" Wu Shigong burst into anger immediately, "You want to take advantage of the fire? There is no way!"

"I'm not in a hurry! You can talk slowly with Vice General Wu here!" Yu Zilian said slowly, with an expression of being convinced of Wu Shigong.After finally having the opportunity to torture this poor man, Yu Zilian felt as relieved as if he had eaten ginseng fruit.

Wu Shigong took a long breath and decided to hold it back.So he slowed down and said: "There are at most two cannons, and at most fifty firecrackers. I will also use them, King Qin. But half buy and half free, it's because of my friendship with you."

"Hmph!" Today's Yu Zilian likes to talk through his nostrils: "A black-hearted merchant like you? Why don't you have the nerve to offer half the price? Come on, give it away, or we can continue talking!"

Because the Ruzhou Army cannot produce firearms themselves, they bought a lot from the Runing Army through the Four Seas Trading Company.Of course, the price was very expensive, and what Yu Zilian was given was not the standard firearms of the Runing Army, but the bird blunderbuss, tiger squatting guns, etc. that had been captured before, so Yu Zilian, who was slashed several times, always had resentment in his heart.

"Yu Zilian! Do you think I'm really afraid of you talking about it? It's been so many years, and you haven't changed your sour appearance. Forget it! Forget my pity for you, and I will give it to you!" Wu Shigong's tone was still the same as he said. softened.

But today, Yu Zilian seemed indifferent to Wu Shigong's provocation, and he still said calmly, "Then I would like to thank Lieutenant General Wu. One hundred firecrackers and five cannons, I don't want the scrap copper and rotten iron you sold to me. Just For your military use."

"Hey! You'd open your mouth like a lion! Tell you, no way!" Wu Shigong shook his head repeatedly.

Seeing that the talks might collapse, Yu Zilian went on to say: "My Ruzhou army is defending Ruzhou and Nanyang, which can stop the bandit army and prevent the bandit army from invading Runing, which is empty of troops. Vice General Wu still thinks about it!"

Wu Shigong hesitated for a while, and finally decided: "At most, I will give you eighty firecrackers and three cannons. But I can only give them to you after my workshop produces them. There is no way, go to King Qin!"

"You don't need to bother." Yu Zilian smiled "hehe", "I'm afraid that Vice General Wu won't keep his word! Just give me what you have in the army!"

Wu Shigong saw that Yu Zilian had exposed his intentions.Immediately, he became angry from embarrassment, and he roared: "When did I ever break my promise? Just rely on you? I don't even bother to lie to you, a nerd! I always give you new firearms. All I use in my army are old ones. Yes!"

"I don't mind! Just send it right away, otherwise, let's have a long talk!"

"You are not a beautiful woman. Who is interested in having a long talk with you?" After all, Wu Shigong wanted to get away in a hurry, so he gave orders to Quan Dashan unwillingly: "Go back and give me an order. Give it to him! Yu Zilian! You can take these things! Don't be choked to death?"

"It's better than someone being pissed off to death!" Yu Zilian's bickering today was at a super level.Wu Shigong lost his temper after beating him.

In fact, Wu Shigong was not as angry as he looked at all.Because the spies that the Military Intelligence Bureau infiltrated into the Ruzhou Army basically all had experience in the Runing Army, so now they have basically become middle and upper-level officers of the Ruzhou Army.Wu Shigong thought that his firearms were only temporarily stored with the Ruzhou Army.Sooner or later, Wu Shigong will swallow the fat pig of the Ruzhou Army.

Seeing Yu Zilian arranging his men arrogantly to take away the firearms sent by the Runing Army, Wu Shigong was also preparing to return to the camp.At this moment, Yu Zilian said again: "Deputy General Wu! I see that Commander Yao is very unhappy with you. Do you want to give up your love to me so that the talented people will not be buried?"

The anger in Wu Shigong's heart!Yu Zilian misunderstood his own ability to hide his strength and bide his time as weakness.He is getting more and more aggressive.So Wu Shigong replied: "Dream!", and then went back to the camp without looking back.

Wu Shigong didn't know, but Yu Zilian was also feeling secretly refreshed.He had already received a report from Governor Lu Xiangsheng: the peasant army that returned to Ma Shouying had fled to Nanyang again.However, Lu Xiangsheng and other three Ming armies were still entangled in Yunyang by the main force of the peasant army, making it difficult to pursue them.It is hoped that the Ruzhou Army stationed in Dengzhou will stop this peasant army and prevent it from fleeing into Henan again.

So, in fact, Yu Zilian couldn't stand it anymore, he was able to squeeze so much from Wu Shigong with bluff, so his heart was also full of pleasure after the yin.

However, Yu Zilian's last words reminded Wu Shigong that he still had to deal with Yao Liang, these three daring guys.So as soon as he returned to camp, Wu Shigong ordered: "Call those three guys over from the city."

Yao Liang, Ye Chao and Fu Sheng came to the camp anxiously. As soon as they entered Wu Shigong's big tent, they immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Wu Shigong, and then they didn't even dare to lift their heads.

Wu Shigong sat silently, just to make these three guys suffer more.After a long while, Wu Shigong finally said: "You are quite capable, aren't you? You were able to mobilize all the troops of our Runing Army to surround you, and captured Xinye County, gathering so many refugees. Tell me, how should I reward you?"

The three men remained lying on the ground motionless.Everyone could tell that Wu Shigong was talking ironically, and it would be a fool to look up and answer at this time.

After a while, Wu Shigong felt that he had enough to scare them, so he said, "Don't pretend to be pitiful on the ground, raise your head up! Yao Liang! Tell me, why do you like running around so much?" ah?"

After all, Yao Liang had followed Wu Shigong for a long time, knowing that Wu Shigong did not charge him with any crime, so he became more courageous, and replied, "Return to your lord. Didn't you always teach us to take advantage of it? I saw that Xinye County was empty, so I dragged Ye Chao and Battalion Commander Fu here, this matter has nothing to do with them."

Fu Sheng hurriedly said from the side: "The villain is also responsible for this matter. If you want to blame the adults, you can blame us!"

Ye Chao hesitated for a long time, and finally said with trembling lips: "The little ones also have a share."

Wu Shigong "Hmph!", then sneered, "It's kind of loyal, isn't it? Don't blame the public? It's not that simple. None of you can escape the charge of no military discipline, and 1000% of the military salary will be deducted for half a year. Also, you guys If you like fighting so much, let’s expand the number of people you brought to Xinye County to [-] people to form a regiment. You will be given half a year, if you pass the examination, then you will lead this regiment, if you fail, then you will be punished And punished."

This is not a punishment, but an evaluation of merit, so Yao Liang and the three of them immediately smiled.They kowtowed repeatedly and said to Wu Shigong: "Thank you sir! The villain will definitely live up to the trust!"

"Get out!" Wu Shigong finally showed a smile on his face, "Go back to the city quickly and gather the team, and I will enter the city later to inspect your soldiers."

"promise!"

Yao Liang and the others needed to be beaten, but the soldiers who captured Xinye County and the bandits and refugee leaders who took refuge also needed encouragement, appeasement and rewards, so Wu Shigong still had to inspect and meet them in person before leaving.

That is to say, in times of war, this kind of consequentialism will emerge.Wu Shigong had no choice but to reward these three in order to defend Yao Liang and his heroic deeds.If in peacetime, someone like Yao Liang who disobeyed the military order to attack, even if he won a big victory, he would at most be given a honorary title, and then he would be dismissed from office.

After inspecting and meeting the soldiers in the city, Wu Shigong immediately set off and returned to the Runing army camp.In addition to receiving official orders from the imperial court, he also had to make arrangements for his own home.

Wu Shigong was very relieved to reach an agreement with Yu Zilian, and so was Yu Zilian.Interestingly, sometimes enemies trust each other's character more.

While Wu Shigong was leaving, he sent someone to Chuge to order him to finish the Huguang Raiders by the end of June.After that, the cavalry regiment didn't have to clean up the battlefield anymore, and immediately went straight to Ye County with the artillery battalion.

This time King Qin, because the Grand Canal is the peak of shipping, and the Shandong army will also pass through the North Transport of the Grand Canal, so Wu Shigong will not join in the fun.He was going to take Guide and Cavalry Corps, Artillery Corps and his personal troops across the Henan Province, across the Yellow River, and into North Zhili North Shangqin King.

The reason for only bringing these soldiers is that apart from leaving enough soldiers in Runing and Guide, Wu Shigong also needs to keep a low profile at the feet of the Son of Heaven.With these more than 8000 horses, the Runing Army may not be able to completely defeat the Manchu Qing army entering the customs, but there is absolutely no problem in self-protection.

On June [-]th, Wu Shigong returned to Runing and received the military order from the imperial court.

On June 22, Wu Shigong led the personal soldiers and the artillery regiment left behind in the camp to Ye County to join the Guide Army.

On June 28, Zug completed the entire campaign.A total of 1000 peasant troops were wiped out.However, due to the change of the battle plan on the way and Wu Shigong's order to end it early, more than 1 peasant troops rushed east to Luzhou.

However, the seizures in this battle were quite astonishing. In addition to gold, silver, treasures and other things worth more than 3 taels, a total of 21 shi of food was obtained.As a result, the mules and horses in the Runing Army plus the more than 1000 mules and horses captured were not enough.In desperation, they could only forcibly recruit more than 2 local people in Huguang, and asked them to transport these things back to Runing.
