Crazy at the end of the Ming Dynasty

"What's going on? You can speak more clearly!" Wu Shigong asked.

"Master! That's how it is..." So He Fei said to Wu Shigong.

It turned out that after Wei Changlin's widow had been widowed for seven or eight years, she wanted to remarry this time with a small secretary in the Runing Army.And He Fei, Wei Changlin's old brothers, were upset.They used their power to snatch Wei Changlin's son, and then beat up the clerk, in order to prevent this marriage.

But Wei Changlin's widow was quite aggressive, and she insisted on asking He Fei and the others for an explanation.This good man doesn't fight with women, and besides, the clerk is also a member of the Runing Army system, so He Fei and the others can't be ruthless, so they brought the lawsuit to Wu Shigong.

After hearing all this, Wu Shigong let out a long sigh, and decided to calm down: "One more time to try to persuade Changlin's family, if she really wants to remarry, then let her go. The life of orphans and widows is not easy! As long as the document treats the Changlin family well."

"How many good brothers have left like this, and now they can only take care of the living. Don't embarrass that clerk anymore, and bring Chang Lin's son here. I will raise him myself, and I am worthy of Chang Lin .well--!"

"Yes! Master!" After hearing Wu Shigong's words, He Fei could only agree.However, she was still a little unconvinced in her heart, and said bulgingly: "If the young one is like Chang Lin, the young one's wife should never even think about remarrying. If the young one dies, he will jump out of the coffin."

"What are you talking about?" Wu Shigong raised his eyebrows and cursed.But thinking about it carefully, Wu Shigong himself would absolutely not be able to bear the remarriage of his wives.

Unexpectedly, Tao Xin who was behind him also interjected, "I can't stand it either!"

Wu Shigong immediately slapped him. Only then did the officers realize that Tao Xin's bride-to-be was Wu Shigong's daughter, and they immediately watched the excitement...

After this episode, Wu Shigong was in a bad mood.So I am a little sensitive when I have breakfast.When he saw that the wives did not regard themselves as the center, but whispered around Zhao Ruya and Carelli, Wu Shigong's heart was not going well, and he asked: "We are all discussing something." what?"

Li Xin hurriedly walked to Wu Shigong's side, said with a smile: "The two sisters are discussing how much money the inner house has earned."

Li Xin gave birth to another son for Wu Shigong, and everything went well these days, so at this time, she looked particularly radiant.

As soon as he heard that he had made money, Wu Shigong's face turned cloudy immediately. He asked with a smile, "What kind of money did you earn? Tell me quickly!" Little is known.

"Isn't it the futures exchange opened by my husband!" Zhao Ruya also walked over with a smile. "The concubine found out that there would be a difference if she changed hands there, so she gathered the sisters' private houses and made a few small sums."

"Hey!" Wu Shigong laughed out loud.I didn't expect that there was a financial talent among my wives, "How much did you earn?"

"Not much! That's more than 4000 taels!" Although Zhao Ruya said it modestly, she couldn't hide her complacency.

"Hahaha——! I didn't expect that I would find a rich woman!" Wu Shigong joked, "I opened this futures exchange and knew it could be used for speculation. But I never told you about it. Spotted it. What a genius!"

Zhao Ruya proudly raised her nose and said, "That's needless to say. But it's not the concubine's work alone. Sister Ka also helped a lot."

Wu Shigong looked at Carelli, and Carelli also stuck out her tongue playfully at Wu Shigong.

After that, Wu Shigong knew what Zhao Ruya and the others did.It turned out that since the establishment of the futures exchange, Zhao Ruya has been concerned about this new affairs.When she learned that there would be a severe drought this year, she immediately calculated that selling grain short would make a huge difference.

So Zhao Ruya took out her private house and prepared to invest in it, and the other wives who believed in Zhao Ruya's vision also handed over their private houses to Zhao Ruya for investment, and even Li Xin took out some spare money from the inner house.

More in the specific operation later.Zhao Ruya got the assistance of Carelli, who has some knowledge of futures operations in Western Netherlands and other places, so it will be even more beneficial.

After understanding all this, Wu Shigong reminded: "After all, futures trading is risky, so you don't put all your private houses in it. In case you lose all your money, there is nowhere to find money. You are all mine. If you sell it to me, you won’t be able to get a good price.”

Wu Shigong's joke immediately aroused a burst of "spit" from the wives.

Wu Shigong continued: "Also, tell me what stocks and futures you buy in the future. Don't hide it from me. After all, I am well informed about some news."

For the sake of his wives' private houses, Wu Shigong didn't mind doing some fake public affairs for personal gain.However, Wu Shigong thought of that when the futures exchange first opened, in order to take care of its business, all the farms and villages in the villages allocated farmers to the futures exchange to cash out and hedge their value.

Although there is a severe drought this year, those farmers have obtained basic income guarantees, so futures trading has evolved into a benevolent policy of the Runing Army.That's really unintentional!

After breakfast, Wu Shigong went to the study to deal with official business, and today is the time for Zheng Ling to report on "Intelligence Summary".From the very beginning, Wu Shigong learned about the latest battle situation.

During the July and August of the ninth year of Chongzhen, Ma Shouying, the old Hui Hui, seized a gap in the Ming army after the Tang Wang incident, and rushed to sprint.Leading more than 5 troops went straight to Kaifeng City.

Seeing the situation, Li Xianfeng, governor of Henan, hurriedly led the main force of the Ming army in Henan to retreat. Before Ma Shouying arrived at Kaifeng City, he retreated to defend Kaifeng.But Kaifeng, which had no time to prepare for city defense, was still violently attacked by Ma Shouying.Ma Shouying's troops set fire to Xiguan, and the Ming court was deeply shocked.

Seeing that Zuo Liangyu's troops were about to arrive, Ma Shouying immediately gave up attacking Kaifeng and turned to Yanling and Fugou areas in Henan.Of course, Zuo Liangyu led his troops in hot pursuit, Ma Shouying calmly took up the challenge, and adopted the tactics of luring the enemy to go deep to move to Zhengzhou, and avoided the deep mountains and sent people to scold the enemy to lure the enemy.

But when Zuo Liangyu, who was enraged, led his army to chase Jiashan, he was immediately surrounded by the peasant army of Ma Shouying's department. Soon, the food was exhausted, and Zuo Liangyu, in despair, attempted suicide.

At this time, Yu Zilian's Ruzhou Army also rushed to the scene. Ma Shouying revealed a flaw, allowing Zuo Liangyu to lead the remnant troops to break through, and fled in embarrassment in the direction of Guide.Ma Shouying pretended to pursue, which attracted Yu Zilian to rush eastward to meet Zuo Liangyu's troops, and once again opened up the Ming army's space.

This battle of outwitting the enemy caused Zuo Liangyu's troops to drop to [-], and completely boosted the morale of the peasant army, which made the morale of the peasant army, which had been low because of Gao Yingxiang's murder, rise again.

At this time, Cao Cao Luo Rucai and Liu Guoneng's peasant army took advantage of the Ming army's return to aid Kaifeng and re-entered Henan, joining forces with Laohui Huima Shouying's troops.

In Ma Shouying's sprint, the troops suffered little casualties, but during the high-speed movement, more than 1 peasant troops were separated.But now the nearly [-] peasant troops left in his department are all strong and strong, which can be called even stronger.

During the Ming army's encirclement and suppression campaign, Luo Rucai gave full play to the characteristics of his troops' good mobility, and basically avoided the main force of the Ming army during the year-long battle, so his [-] soldiers and horses were also very strong. combat effectiveness.

As for Chuang Tate Tian Liu Guoneng, he now has more than 3 soldiers and horses, and he is also a relatively strong force in the peasant army.

As soon as the three peasant armies converged, they immediately started a reverse sprint under Ma Shouying's command, aiming directly at Zhang Xianzhong's troops stationed west of Xiangyang.

In addition, the peasant armies of Xiezi Kuai, Ge Liyan He Yilong, Zuojin King He Jin, Changed King Liu Xiyao, and Troubled Times King Lin Chengcheng also began to move towards Xiangyang, seeing that the next battle will start in Xiangyang.

But Wu Shigong looked at the information as a bystander, but Miao Xuntu, the defender of Xiangyang and the governor of Huguang, was a fan of the authorities.They still thought that Zhang Xianzhong's troops would surrender, and they didn't know that disaster would be imminent.

"I thought that I could live in peace at home, but I didn't expect Zuo Liangyu to be as stupid as a pig, and dragged down Yu Suiding's Ruzhou Army. These two troops can't be relied on. It seems that our Runing Army still has to Move!" Wu Shigong said with a smile.

Because the departure of Lu Xiangsheng's Tianxiong Army and Zu Kuan's Liao Army gave the Peasant Army in Huguang and Henan the upper hand, so in order to maintain a balance, Wu Shigong decided to deal a certain blow to the Peasant Army.

"Uncle! Are we going to keep Xiangyang?" Xue Yongli, who didn't know what Wu Shigong really thought, must be thinking about it from a military point of view.

Wu Shigong shook his head: "It depends on the situation! This time it is not just a military battle, but also requires the cooperation of other departments. Uncle Yongli! Give your military commander a day to draw up a battle plan for Xiangyang. Let the supporters of agriculture The Shanchuan Division and the Military Intelligence Bureau have also joined in, what is the specific purpose? I will explain it personally."

Xue Yongli nodded, and then asked: "Then how much troops will we use this time?"

"It's Huhou Town! Uncle Yongli, you come to command. I will thank guests behind closed doors, and it's not good to show my face. But I will station in Xinyang with my own soldiers and the Runing Army, and I will be ready to support you at any time. This battle , the wharf in Wuchang must be settled. The large ships that Zheng Guerrilla made for us have already sailed into the mouth of the Yangtze River, so this matter has to be resolved no matter what.”

"What? Tang Liu hasn't settled the wharf in Wuchang yet?" Xue Yongli asked strangely.

Wu Shigong nodded: "He's in trouble there. The money was spent, but he couldn't get it to the pier. It's a big loss! Without family support, it's inconvenient to do things!" (To be continued...)
