Crazy at the end of the Ming Dynasty

On October 11th, the [-]th year of Chongzhen, in the study of the Wu Mansion in the Runing Army camp.

"Hey——! When the soldiers are in use, you will hate less!" Facing the staff who had been assembled again, Wu Shigong couldn't help but sighed.

"Chang Jing! Who is the letter this time?" Deng Qifan's question elicited a burst of laughter.

"It's Liu Hezhou of Caozhou." Wu Shigong also laughed, "He wants our army to march along the canal, take care of him, and escort him to the Tongzhou Camp."

"Isn't this disrupting our marching time? The longer we delay, the more rampant the Tartars will be. I'm afraid the court will blame us!" Xue Yongli immediately frowned.

Since Yu Zilian in Ruzhou and Li Lu in Nanyang sent letters one after another, the plans of the Runing Army's dispatch and deployment of troops have changed, which has annoyed Xue Yongli, who is in charge of the military commander, so he has an instinct for Liu Zeqing's letter. disgusted.

"Liu Hezhou's place is hard to refuse!" Knowing Xue Yongli's displeasure, Wu Shigong explained with a smile, "Liu Hezhou's [-] Lu soldiers are across the canal from Guide, so it's very important to make friends with him. It remains neutral. Hey! The place where the Runing Army is located in the Fourth War is too troublesome."

"Actually, this matter is not a bad thing. It's always better to go to the capital later." Zhang Zhiheng interrupted.

Zhang Zhiheng's words caused everyone to nod their heads.When receiving the imperial edict from King Qin a few days ago, the top leaders of the Runing Army reached a consensus: it is necessary to go, but the later the better. [

Because the current relationship between Wu Shigong and the imperial court has created gaps, if the Runing Army refuses to obey the edict, it will immediately intensify the conflict.As for King Quqin, at least he maintained the relationship between the two parties, and he would not let the court focus on him first.

But the Runing Army didn't want to be the first to bear the brunt.The Qing army had just entered the customs, and it was at the time when it was in full swing. If the Runing army had a fierce battle with it, the best result would be that both sides would suffer.In the event of a disastrous failure, it is more likely to be beyond redemption.Therefore, the Runing army is going to let the other Ming army consume part of the strength of the Qing army first, and wait for it to retreat.Follow up again.Try to take some advantage.

And now marching along the canal, there is just a reason to delay for some time, which is actually in line with the consensus of the Runing Army.

"How can the imperial court tell the difference?" Xue Yongli asked another question.

"Don't bother the two masters with one thing, let Ye Jianjun play!" Wu Shigong replied, "The reason is to prevent the Shaanxi bandits."

This is not the excuse that the Runing army is looking for.The places where Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai surrendered were too close to Runing. Although Xiong Wencan was full of promises, the whole Runing Army agreed that these peasant troops were sham surrendering.In addition, Yu Zilian threw the burden of Ruzhou to Wu Shigong, so the Runing Army needed to rearrange its strength.

Zhou Xun's Nanyang Army could not move at all.Because of Yu Zilian and Li Lu's departure, he had to defend the vast area from Nanyang to Ruzhou, and his strength was already stretched.And his troops still need to be stationed in the defense area.

The two towns of Xue Yong and Tao Xin in Huguang cannot be moved either. They want to defend against the peasant army in the west.The official troops in Fengyang and Nanjing in the east are afraid that when the main force of the Runing army is dispatched, these troops will come and attack their old nest.

And the Runing Headquarters will also leave a considerable amount of troops, this time only two guilds will be left, commanded by Yang Rusong.And all of this requires proper mobilization.If the transfer is not completed, Wu Shigong will not rest assured to take away the main force of the Runing Army.

certainly.Wu Shigong also used Ye Zhong, the supervisor.He asked Ye Zhong to tell Emperor Chongzhen secretly: In order to prevent the resurgence of the traitors, Ye Zhong will monitor the left-behind Runing Army to prevent the surrendered peasant army from rebelling again.

But Ye Zhong has nothing to be unhappy about, at least this time he escaped to go to the battlefield again, so he can enjoy it in Nanyang with peace of mind.So this thing is to use each other!

"Do we need to adjust the strength of the expedition? I learned from the people who escaped the Yellow River that the Tartars have more than [-] troops!" Xue Yongli asked again.

Wu Shigong thought for a while, and finally decided: "Let's keep the original ones! With these troops, you can protect yourself! Then send a fast horse to chase Commander Gang, so that he doesn't go to Yizhou, and join Qiqi first. Sit down The ship went up the coast until the northernmost unfrozen port, and then came to join the main force."

After such a long stalemate, Zheng Zhilong finally agreed to send a ship to replace the Huang Qifa Department in Taiwan, and this time the transfer was to the marine regiment led by Gonzalez, and the place to change ships was at the pier in Songjiang Prefecture.In order to increase his own strength, Wu Shigong also transferred this army over.

"However, the time for the expedition has to be adjusted a little later, let's set it in early or mid-November! Be smart! I will leave this matter to you, and choose an auspicious day." [

Wu Shigong's words caused a burst of laughter, and Chih-chi protested loudly: "The little monk is a Zen sect, and it is a Taoist who chooses auspicious days for the zodiac."

"Then let's do this first. When I lead the army to go out, Runing will have to work hard for everyone." Wu Shigong finally said.

Everyone also stood up and said goodbye one after another, but at this time, Zhang Zhiheng and Zhizhi were left behind.Seeing Wu Shigong looking at them suspiciously, they said in unison: "My lord! The student (young monk) has something to say."

Seeing their tacit understanding, Wu Shigong laughed again.The others also resigned first with great interest. Seeing that there were only three people in the room, Wu Shigong said to Zhizhi first: "Little monk, I know what you want to say! You want to go out with me. I am not very willing. However, How do you monk kill so much "sex"?"

"It is of course a duty to eliminate demons and defend the Tao, but the monk has not hit the Tartars in several expeditions. It is really... hey! But I still have one thing to ask: when I return from this expedition, the doctor will be in charge." The junior monk is about to resign, my lord should choose another hero!"

Zhizhi is a dead-headed person, and Wu Shigong couldn't convince him immediately, so Wu Shigong shook his head, turned around and asked Zhang Zhiheng, "Then what's wrong with Mr. Zhiheng?"

Zhang Zhiheng smiled and replied: "Working with Master Zhizhi. I hope that the adults will bring the students. If there are any official documents, the students can just do it for you."

Wu Shigong thought about it, this expedition may deal with the imperial court, and he really needs an aide who is familiar with imperial court affairs by his side.And Zhizhi couldn't convince him, so why not just agree to the two of them!

So Wu Shigong nodded and said: "Forget it, I won't stop you. But you must stay in the Chinese army. The military affairs are too dangerous, and you need to be more careful!"
