Crazy at the end of the Ming Dynasty

On the 29th of the first lunar month, in Tongzhou Camp.

"Brother Liu, am I really stupid?" Jiang Cheng kept scratching his scalp, looking troubled.

"Brother Jiang, after listening to my elder brother's persuasion, ordering him to go out of the camp has committed ten major beheadings. You have to go..., you have to think about your family! Besides, you and Brother Chen are only four thousand, including my brother and me. It’s only [-]. There was news a few days ago that the [-] troops of Governor Lu and Eunuch Gao were also wiped out, don’t save brother Chang Jing and take us all in. See?” Liu Zeqing advised road.

Jiang Cheng wiped his face with his hands, and said in a muffled voice, "Chen Guerzilla won't go! I just had a falling out with him."

"Ah?" Liu Zeqing was very surprised, "You two have been inseparable from Meng, why did you fall out? Then you are only Qianwu now! It will be even more dangerous to go out."

Jiang Cheng shook his head, and said bitterly, "Not even a thousand and five. As soon as I said I was going to rescue General Wu, some of my subordinates immediately turned against each other. They all voted for Chen Gueran, so now only Qi Baier Lang is willing to follow me. Liu Brother, just send a message! Are you willing to go with me? Otherwise, I will take my son out of the camp immediately."

"Why do you do this?" Liu Zeqing was also very sad being forced by Jiang Cheng.

"Brother Liu!" Maybe he felt that his rescue was more ominous than good, so Jiang Cheng talked a lot, and said it a little inconsequentially, "My family is also a military family, and I know that the battlefield is dangerous. But my second uncle and I Once Mongol General Wu rescued him, and now he came to ask for help. Here in Tongzhou Daying, the camp is full of nearly [-] people, but they are willing to go. I thought: Let’s not talk about repaying kindness! We should also work together to fight the Tartars?”

"Wu Zongbing is good! Anyone who dares to fight the Tartars is a good guy. But why did he come to ask for help? He also knows that his future is not good! Let's go there once. No matter what, we must rescue Wu Zongbing. , This is not in vain for our brotherhood!" After finishing speaking.Jingcheng stared at Liu Zeqing with pleading eyes. [

In Liu Zeqing's mind, heaven and man were at war immediately. After hesitating for a while, he said to Jiang Cheng hesitantly, "I'm not going to hide it from you, brother. I know my own affairs. If brother, I will accompany you. As long as I hear that you are going to fight the Tartars, I will fight you." I'm afraid I won't be able to restrain my troops! I'm afraid more than half of them will be dispersed by then."

But Jiang Cheng felt that there was something in Liu Zeqing's words, and he quickly patted his chest and encouraged: "Don't bother Brother Liu, my son will be the vanguard. We will block the Tartars first, so that Brother Liu has time to retreat." Besides, we didn't go to fight the Tartars, as long as we successfully rescued General Wu, we would have achieved our goal."

After hesitating for a while, Liu Zeqing sighed and said, "Hey! Just do as Brother Jiang said!"

After Tongzhou Daying received Wu Shigong's request for help, several civil officials and military supervisors who were in charge here flatly rejected Wu Shigong's request for help.In the end, it was Jiang Cheng and Liu Zeqing for the sake of their friendship with Wu Shigong.They privately brought nearly [-] soldiers and horses with them, and went out to help the Runing army despite the obstruction of the leaders of the Tongzhou camp.

But even Jiang Cheng and Liu Zeqing believed that the Runing Army would definitely be defeated.They came to help, not just to meet the remnants of Runing Army and rescue Wu Shigong himself.

On February [-]th, in the city of Texas.

"Qiu Zongbing! Runing Wu Zongbing is about to fight the Tartars, and it's time to gather the officers and soldiers. I want to gather soldiers and horses from all over the city to fight together. What's Qiu Zongbing's plan?" Shandong Governor Yan Jizu asked Qiu Leidao, the commander-in-chief of Shandong.

In fact, seeing Qiu Lei's sluggish appearance, Yan Jizu felt a little angry.When Jinan fell, Yan Jizu was shocked and quickly transferred Qiu Lei to lead an army of [-] troops to aid Jinan.

But Qiu Lei was on his way leading the troops.I don't know which soldier shouted: "The tartars are coming!" Then the whole army broke up.Qiu Lei fled back to Dezhou with only more than 500 people, and has only gathered more than 2000 people so far.Actually from beginning to end.This army disappeared without even seeing a single Qing army.

Then Yan Jizu and Qiu Lei of course did not dare to lead troops to stop the looting of the Qing army in Shandong, until the Qing army escorted the population and seized them, and returned arrogantly from the side of Dezhou City, they did not dare to lead troops out of the city to stop them.

At that time, the people captured outside the city of Dezhou were crying loudly, hoping that the officers and soldiers in the city would come to rescue them from the sea of ​​suffering, but Qiu Lei, the highest military officer in Shandong, burned incense and worshiped Buddha every day, hoping that the Qing army would leave early. Go, I hope they never come to attack Texas City.

Originally, Yan Jizu was also lost his temper by Qiu Lei's cowardice, but the Runing Army's request for help made him hopeful again.If the two armies cooperate and can rescue King De, then they can make up for it.Even if King De cannot be rescued, at least this kind of rescue operation can be explained to the court, and the guilt of the lost family will be much less.

But when the current Yan Jizu saw Qiu Lei completely lost his energy, he knew that his plan was in vain.After all, Yan Jizu's governor's battalion only had 3000 troops, and the main force of the army in Dezhou City was still Qiu Lei's troops. If Qiu Lei didn't agree, there would be no troops to rescue the Runing Army.

Sure enough, Qiu Lei rebuffed and said: "Master Governor! If you are not the last general, the Tatars are too strong. The officers and soldiers in the world are all equal. It's not that the officers and soldiers are too capable. How can the Tatars go on the rampage after they enter the customs? The Wu Zongbing There is also a relationship with the last general, and his army is too strong, although he is also passionate, but what he did is not a mantis blocking the car? Why should we die with him?" In order to strengthen his persuasion, Qiu Lei put himself All the troops have said to Nengli.

"But the messenger who came said: Mr. Wu is going to the capital and Tongzhou for help?" Yan Jizu still didn't give up. [

"Just wait and see! None of the officers and soldiers will come to help. Let's do it! In the end, they all came, and there are not many of us. If they don't come, we can't beat the Tartars if there are more. Don't want us As soon as they left the city, the Tartars took advantage of the situation and invaded Dezhou. Your Excellency Governor! This will make our charges even bigger!" Qiu Lei persuaded.

Seeing that Yan Jizu was still hesitating, Qiu Lei stepped up his persuasion again: "Your Excellency, although you have lost your relatives and Jinan, you are indeed guilty. But if you think about it carefully, our crimes are not too serious. Where are we going? Our whole army guards Dezhou, but that is the order of Mr. Yang Ge? If there is a crime, then Mr. Yang Ge must be punished first. Anyway, there is a tall man who is holding him back. What are we worried about? Dismissal at most Removal. To tell the truth, enough of these fears will eventually be enough."

Yan Jizu was indeed moved by Qiu Lei's words, he stroked his chin and thought quietly.But at this moment, a soldier rushed in from outside the door, and he knelt down and said: "Master Governor! Lord Chief Soldier! An army of more than a thousand soldiers came from the west of the city."

"Oh? Which general is in charge?" Yan Jizu asked hastily.

"They said that they are from Runing Wu Zongbing, and they are going north to fight the Tartars!"

"Is there really someone who is not afraid of death?" Qiu Lei exclaimed in surprise.

Yan Jizu frowned and thought about it for a while, then ordered: "Throw some food, grass, wine and meat from the top of the city, it's my reward!"

The news that the Ru Ning Army was going to fight the Qing Army spread like ripples in the territory of the Ming Dynasty. In public, those who talked about it even praised Wu Shigong hypocritically, but in the dark, everyone thought that Wu Shigong's skull was broken.

The most intuitive reaction is that on the stock exchange in Runing, all the stocks plummeted. A few days ago, the stocks that businessmen flocked to were being sold like waste paper, but there were still no businessmen to pick up this bargain.

But at this time, senior officials of the Runing Army like Deng Qifan couldn't care less about the financial market that was about to collapse.On the one hand, they complained in their hearts that Wu Shigong had changed the purpose of sending troops, on the other hand, they also began to shrink troops and urgently recruit troops to prevent the chain reaction caused by Wu Shigong's fiasco.And Xue Yongli also urgently mobilized Yang Rusong's two Xie Zhi Guide, ready to go north for reinforcements at any time, to meet Wu Shigong's main force of the Runing Army.

In addition, the business of Sihai Commercial Bank, Sihai Bank and Jimin Land Reclamation Commercial Bank was also greatly affected. Many trading partners suspended their transactions and waited for the outcome of the war.If it weren't for the prestige of the Runing Army in the past, and their ruthless methods of handling affairs, maybe the officials and gentry in some places would extend their claws to the property of the Runing Army.

In Yangzhou, the salt merchants held three meetings in a short period of time. In the last meeting, they even secretly re-divided the salt sales area in charge of the Runing Army to each company, and prepared to carry out the "salt sales" after Wu Shigong's fiasco. Dinner".Of course, the Lu family and the Guo family are not qualified to participate in this kind of conference.

In Nanjing City, it was rumored that Lu Jiude, the guarding eunuch, was preparing to dispatch troops. Once Wu Shigong was defeated, they would send troops to join forces with Fengyang and Huguang officials to seize the territory of Runing and Guide.

Only Hou Fangyu, who was Wu Shigong's lifelong fan, had a few good words for the Runing Army, but mixed with ridicule and regret, Hou Fangyu seemed so lonely.

At this time, the man of influence in Jinling City was Qian Qianyi, who had "returned from prison with honor". He gathered a group of comrades from the Donglin Party, constantly criticizing the government and praising each other.It seems that as long as the Donglin party members come to power, the Tartars who enter the customs and the thieves in the territory will melt away like snow in spring.

As for Wu Shigong they mentioned after dinner?It must be a lucky, courageous, vulgar and stupid soldier. At this time, they have completely forgotten that Wu Shigong was classified as a member of the Donglin Party by them.

Among them, Qian Qianyi's words are the most representative.He said: "Hmph! Wu Runing? Stupid pig."

Qian Qianyi has already learned that Gu Hengbo and Liu Rushi wrote letters to Wu Shigong a few days ago, and he, a little old man, is already jealous, so he has already regarded Wu Shigong as a rival in love in his heart.

So before the war, no one was optimistic about Wu Shigong, but under such circumstances, the Runing Army formally launched a battle with the Qing Army. (To be continued.
