Crazy at the end of the Ming Dynasty

"Could it be that Chang Jing is leaving Runing again?" Deng Qifan asked.

"No! I was seriously injured by the stabbing, so it's hard to go for it myself. Let me be lazy at home!" After speaking, Wu Shigong and Deng Qifan looked at each other and laughed.Under the current circumstances, Wu Shigong had better not leave Runing Mansion, Deng Qifan was worried about this.

"That's Director Xue!?" Deng Qifan guessed.

Wu Shigong still shook his head.Said: "He won't go either, even the Xunzi can't leave Nanyang, this time a new coach will be appointed."

Wu Shigong didn't want to talk too much about military matters to Deng Qifan.This time Wu Shigong had Xue Qiang as the coach in mind, and asked him to bring his Rubei Army, Qian Qi's Runan Army, and the newly established Huguang Army to form a Jiaoji Town together.Then strengthen Gonzalez's marine regiment and some artillery, and jointly go to Huguang to encircle and suppress the peasant army.

As Wu Shigong's oldest guard captain, Xue Qiang is old enough, stable, and has worked with Qian Qi for many years, so Wu Shigong can use it with confidence.And now Wu Shigong has begun to cultivate a general who can take charge of his own side, and he is ready to fully participate in the battle for hegemony in the world.

And the two vacant army commanders also have candidates, namely Tao Xin and Quan Dashan, the chief and deputy commanders of Wu Shigong's personal army.Of course, Tao Xin's appointment will have to wait until after he is newly married, and before that, Xue Qiang can only temporarily take up the post.

To be honest, Wu Shigong was partial to Tao Xin, because there was Liu Guoneng in Huguang.As soon as the time is right, Wu Shigong will recruit the Ministry of Liu Guoneng.At that time, Wu Shigong will expand Jiaoji Town into two towns, and the leader of the other town has been designated as Tao Xin by default.

The only annoying thing is, how will Wu Shigong pass Zhao Ruya and Xiaojie's test. [

"Chang Jing! Only sending [-] troops, is it too much?" Deng Qifan was still a little worried.

Wu Shigong smiled slightly, and Wu Shigong still wanted to keep this detailed inside story secret from Deng Qifan.In fact, with the unremitting efforts of the Shanchuan Division and the Military Intelligence Bureau.In addition to Liu Guoneng's department, Li Lu's department, Deng Qifan's department, and Chen and Jiang's coalition forces were all infiltrated by the Runing Army.As long as the conditions are ripe, Wu Shigong has absolute confidence to recruit at least half of their troops to his side.

However, Wu Shigong still wants to say something reassuring: "Biaozi's Tuanlian Town has been reorganized, and nearly [-] commercial guards are redundant. I am going to ask Chang Meng to take them all to Huguang. It’s on the right track, and we need to find a new site.”

"Also, this time the Runing Army is fighting in a hometown as far away as possible, and we need to take more care as far away as possible, and introduce more old people from the same year to our Runing Army. The village village there still needs someone to take care of it."

"That's for sure." Deng Qifan quickly agreed with a smile, "In fact, the students have already written to the letter, and they are very enthusiastic, just waiting for us to go." Deng Qifan's hometown is Tongcheng, where the literary style is at its peak.Of course, it was also a tragic battlefield for the imperial examination, so many literati fell in the examination room.Now there is such an opportunity to become an official.Of course they will be enthusiastic.

"Chang Jing! Is 10 soldiers too many? After all, we don't have many places to use our soldiers now. And to maintain so many soldiers, with our current financial resources, we have to spend nearly [-] taels every year!" Deng Qifan still never Consider the problem from a financial point of view.

After Wen Tiren stepped down, Qian Yiqian was of course released from prison and returned to his hometown.What is different from history is that Hou Xun was also released from prison by Emperor Chongzhen.This is also an act to appease Wu Shigong.

But unlike Qian Yiqian, Hou Xun was not sent back to his hometown.The court gave Hou Xun a spare job and raised him.It can be seen that Hou Xun discovered the importance of Wu Shigong and Zuo Liangyu. The court really took great pains when arranging Hou Xun!

Although Yang Sichang has relatively low qualifications and is not yet able to enter the cabinet, he is in the heart of Emperor Chongzhen.It has become the first assistant who is not the first assistant.As a result, Yang Sichang's plan of "opening the net on ten sides" began to be implemented.

But when the plan started, it was resisted by governors from all over the country, but others were at most obedient and obedient, and Shaanxi governor Sun Chuanting openly resisted.

Sun Chuanting believes that because the army has repeatedly fought and suffered from defeat and setbacks, and the people have been exhausted after years of fighting, this move may not achieve the expected results.

Of course, Sun Chuanting also knew Yang Sichang's status in Emperor Chongzhen's mind, so he expected that his plan would not be adopted.So Sun Chuanting set about counting his private property, got 8000 to [-] taels of silver, and recruited soldiers and horses to manage the manpower and resources needed for the encirclement and suppression.

This behavior is completely setting up a small treasury privately, but Sun Chuanting also has difficulties. He originally agreed with Emperor Chongzhen to privately raise military pay, but now it has become a court allocation.In the final analysis, the credibility of the Ming court was completely lost in the eyes of its own border officials.

When the Ming court collected the numbers of recruits reported from various places, only Sun Chuanting's memorial was not delivered.Yang Sichang, who had always had a rift with Sun Chuanting, took the opportunity to launch an attack, complaining that the court's military law did not work in Shaanxi.But Sun Chuanting went to Shushu to defend.

So he didn't judge who was right and who was wrong. Anyway, Sun Chuanting didn't give Yang Sichang face very much.There are still three fires for the new official to take office, so Yang Sichang wanted to make trouble.But Sun Chuanting responded with a series of brilliant victories. [

In the battle between Shang and Luo, Sun Chuanting compromised the agreement of the Ministry of War to "cut off the front and stick to Shangluo", and sent heavy troops to guard the strategic areas around Shangluo.When the peasant army led by Datianwang attacked Qingyang and Baoji, Sun Chuanting quickly returned to his army and defeated them in Heshui.Then there was the victory over the other battalions of peasant armies, which surpassed Hong Chengchou in the limelight for a while.However, this also buried the reason for the estrangement between Yang Sichang and Sun Chuanting.

And these victories greatly reduced the strength of the peasant army in Shaanxi, and they also invaded Henan with great force.So in these days, Wu Shigong's Runing and Guide are quite peaceful.That's why Deng Qifan didn't think it was necessary to maintain so many soldiers.

"Then how many soldiers do you think you can maintain?" Wu Shigong asked.

"At least [-] cuts! That's enough." Deng Qifan replied.

Wu Shigong thought about it for a while, and said: "It's too hasty. These soldiers finally have the opportunity to enter the army. After retiring, they can get the fields. Once they are cut down, they will complain! Let's do this! Maintain [-] soldiers, and let the rest be distributed to everyone." The big commercial firm hires a group of guards and raises some; arranges [-] in Guide Mansion, places some, and transfers the rest to the Department of Internal Affairs!"

"That won't save much money." Deng Qifan reminded.Wu Shigong's method is completely changing the soup but not the medicine.

"It's just a hard life!" Wu Shigong was very optimistic, "Anyway, so many ups and downs have come."

Seeing that Wu Shigong had made up his mind, Deng Qifan could only nod his head.But in the end, Deng Qifan still couldn't bear the curiosity in his heart. He leaned over and asked in a low voice: "Chang Jing, how long will it take for you to find out the truth for the students?" Deng Qifan just wanted to ask Ru Ning The exact time for the army to rise up.

"Two years! Not even two years." Wu Shigong replied affirmatively.

"Then the student will be guaranteed a five-year turnover! It will be guaranteed." Deng Qifan said through gritted teeth.But there was still a smile on his face.

After talking with Deng Qifan, Wu Shigong sent him out of the gate.When I came back, I happened to see Chi Ming giving Wu Chengying military training.As the son of a military officer, it is impossible for Wu Chengying to only study the Four Books and Five Classics. He has to exercise every morning and evening, practicing kung fu with fists, feet, knives and guns.

Wu Shigong has already transferred Chi Ming to the personal army, and just waiting for Tao Xin to become the commander of the army, Chi Ming will take over the post of commander of the personal army.

Today, Wu Chengying is training with another companion, Wei Feng, the son of Wei Changlin.Now Wei Feng is living with Wu Shigong, because he is about the same age as Wu Chengying, so he became Wu Chengying's accompanying classmate.

Wu Shigong was a little surprised to see that Chi Ming had brought a member of the personal army to explain something to Wu Chengying and the others.Wu Shigong walked over quietly, and saw the man squatting on the ground gesturing with stones.

While making gestures, the man also said: "If the angle of the artillery is like this, then the artillery will go in this way, so as long as the aiming hole is aimed here, the artillery will hit there..."

It turned out to be introducing the shooting of artillery!Wu Shigong smiled and patted Wu Chengying and Wei Feng's heads, only then did the two brothers realize that Wu Shigong was already behind them.So Wu Chengying immediately jumped up and shouted: "My lord father! The child wants to see a cannon!"

"Okay! Okay!" Wu Shigong said with a smile, "As long as you study well these days, I will take you to watch sex during the ten-day holiday!"

After Chi Ming and that person saw Wu Shigong, they stood at attention in front of Wu Shigong together.Wu Shigong smiled and asked the man, "What's your name?"

"Hu Meng!" The man replied loudly.

"Then what troops do you think of in the future?" Wu Shigong asked again.

"Artillery regiment!" Hu Meng's answer was as expected.

Wu Shigong immediately burst out laughing.

After returning to the inner house, Wu Shigong sneaked into Zhao Ruya's room, only to see that her room was piled up in a mess, and Zhao Ruya was preparing a dowry for her daughter Xiaojie.

Wu Shigong stayed in the house for quite a while, Zhao Ruya didn't have time to answer him, instead Zhao Ruya drove him around and ran around.

Wu Shigong was a little annoyed, he puffed up and said, "They married off their daughters, she is from the Tao family, Xiao Xinzi should be busy too? What are you mother-in-law doing all the time?"

Zhao Ruya looked at Wu Shigong's face, smiled sweetly, and seeing that the maid in the room didn't notice her, she immediately secretly kissed Wu Shigong's face.

Wu Shigong's mood was immediately bright, he secretly whispered into Zhao Ruya's ear, and asked in a low voice: "If you marry one, how about we have another one?"

"Virtue!" Zhao Ruya immediately smiled coquettishly and drove Wu Shigong out of the house.

Walking outside the house, looking at the burning clouds rolling in the sky, Wu Shigong felt mixed feelings: before he knew it, his children had grown up, and he didn't know where his road would lead to?
