Crazy at the end of the Ming Dynasty

On October [-]th, the ninth year of Chongzhen, in the camp of the Pangruning Army in Xinyang County.

"There have been two night marches in a few months, but those boys have suffered a lot." Xue Yongli laughed.

"These boys will suffer? They are energetic! Every time the cavalry trains, they have to go to the weaving workshop. The shopkeeper of the Ma family has come to me several times to complain." Wu Shigong's words immediately aroused Xue Yongli There was a burst of laughter.

"But soldiers still need to be raised. After this time is over, there should be no big battles. The legions will take turns to fight, so that they have time to rest for a while. The horses and firearms need to be maintained!" Wu Shigong continued.

"That's right. Another group of children are going to retire! Those who don't have families should be taken care of by the Yang family." Xue Yongli also nodded.

"How is it? Is it difficult this time?".Wu Shigong asked.

"It's a bit difficult, but it shouldn't be a problem. Defeating the bandit army should be a sure thing, but it's a bit difficult to meet my uncle's request. If you want to divide the bandit army, and then drive the small group of bandit army to Dabie Mountain, I'm afraid the bandit army won't let you go." Listen to us!"

"If you don't obey, let our knife talk. But Uncle Yongli doesn't have to force it, just do your best. The Shaanxi bandits released by Zuge last time are now in Dabie Mountain. I heard that there is also a boom there, so there is no Xiangyang It’s okay for the bandit army to join.” Wu Shigong said with a smile.

"What my uncle said reminds me of that kid from Zug. These days, he is always a little confused. He always thinks that he didn't fight well last time and let go of so many bandits, so what is he doing now? It’s all brilliant.”[

"Actually, he still fought well in that battle! It's just that Yao Liang messed up and changed his plan in Xinye County! No one could have predicted this kind of thing in advance. But there is no need to comfort Chu Ge, if he can't get out by himself , then I’m really going to castrate him.”

Wu Shigong's words made Xue Yongli burst into laughter again.After laughing, Xue Yongli said again: "General Li has gone to Nanyang City now, and the inspector's place is a little empty. The little one thinks that we need to form two more legions. Only then can we turn around." Xue Yongli always thinks To expand the army.

Because of the arrest of Sun Wei, the general of Nanyang, Li Lu was promoted to the general army of Nanyang, so he took his own group of mobs to Nanyang a few days ago.However, although Li Lu's Tuanlian town has a mixed composition of personnel, its combat effectiveness is not bad, its equipment is good, and its number is four thousand. Therefore, this transfer has made the strength of Ye County much weaker.

Wu Shigong also understood this point, but he still had to consider it comprehensively.Although the finances of the Runing Army are loose now, Wu Shigong is still not prepared to waste money.The number of soldiers has increased.It is difficult to reduce it, so Wu Shigong's first choice for expanding his army is conscripts like the guards of wasteland reclamation companies.

So Wu Shigong said: "I have also considered this matter. I want to form a main battle army from Shizhong's Qizhong Army and Yao Liang's regiment, and then restore the Engineer Corps. Then draw out the Guide Army. In this way With two mobile corps."

"There is nothing going on in Guide Mansion right now, and it would be a waste to put another legion there. But now that Yu Suanding is blocking Ruzhou, it also saves us some trouble. In addition, we will arrange in Kaifeng Mansion in the future." Guide Mansion should be able to handle the mobile force."

"This is what I think: Qiqi took away most of the marine regiment. Let Rubao build another navy marine regiment. Build another artillery regiment directly under it. But this regiment is mainly equipped with newly-made heavy nine-pound and twelve-pound heavy artillery."

"And in Guide, an independent regiment and a cavalry battalion were built. That would be enough to secure the place. In this way, even if the current needs are met, the expansion of the army will not be large. Otherwise, Mr. Deng will not be able to explain it ah!"

Xue Yongli thought about it carefully, and found that this arrangement was quite appropriate, and it would not be discounted by Deng Qifan.So he nodded and said, "That's good."

This time Wu Shigong led the Runing Army as a bait.It is necessary to attract the attention of peasant army spies and cover Xue Yongli's military operations.So after communicating for a while, Xue Yongli said goodbye to Wu Shigong, and went back to the camp to prepare for the departure of Huhou Town.

Send Xue Yongli away.Wu Shigong returned to the inner tent, and Mei Yun hurriedly stepped forward to change Wu Shigong's clothes.While changing clothes, Wu Shigong asked Zhu Qilan and Carelli who were on the side: "How are you playing by the Huai River today?".

Zhu Qilan and Carelli nodded excitedly.But Mei Yun said with a smile: "Sister Ka is fine, but Sister Lan is not. She ran wildly on the boat, and the boat swayed, and Sister Lan almost fell into the water."

Zhu Qilan immediately pursed her lips and said, "Didn't you agree to keep it a secret for Lan'er? Sister Mei's words don't count. But Sister Ka said that she has been on a ship that is more than ten times larger than this one. is that true?".

Wu Shigong nodded with a smile: "Actually, the boat that Lier took was not the biggest. There was an ancient man named Zheng He who made seven voyages to the West, and his boat was more than ten times larger than the one Lier took. "However, Wu Shigong also has a sense of national pride, so he lifted Zheng He out.

"Husband is lying, right?" Carelli said with disbelief on his face. [

"It's true!" Mei Yun also received a good education in Xue's residence, "That Eunuch Zheng lived in the Yongle period of this dynasty, and it is recorded in history books."

"Oh? Zheng He is also a eunuch?" Wu Shigong asked strangely.

Mei Yun nodded and said with a smile: "Young master may have forgotten too many books."

Wu Shigong laughed a few times, knowing that Mei Yun was covering up for himself, so he immediately changed the subject, pointed at Zhu Qilan and said, "If you are so naughty again, I will immediately drive you back to Runing and Xiu'er as companions." .”

Zhu Qilan stuck out her tongue and said in a low voice: "Lan'er doesn't dare. But this time Xiu'er can't come out, she is very sad. Who let her have a baby? But husband, when will you let Lan'er have a baby?" Where's the baby?"

After hearing Zhu Qilan's innocent words, Wu Shigong and the others all laughed.Wu Shigong had no choice but to say: "There will be! But what kind of baby do you want?"

Zhu Qilan tilted her head and thought for a while, then said: "I want to have two identical ones like Sister Xiuzhu. But Sister Xiangka's is also good, and the weird one is also very cute."

"Hahaha--!"

……

This time Wu Shigong was quite relaxed, he just took this trip as a vacation.Wu Shigong thought to himself: "Don't have another accident and end your vacation early again!"

On the night of October 2000th in the ninth year of Chongzhen, Xue Yongli led [-] people from Huhou Town to Xiangyang. (to be continued...)
