Crazy at the end of the Ming Dynasty

Of course, Xiong Wencan would not let Zuo Liangyu fight alone. On the one hand, he stepped up to mobilize the Huguang army, and on the other hand, he sent an order to arrive at Nanyang. He led more than 7000 troops from his department and hurried to Fang County to join Zuo Liangyu's department.

On the official road on the edge of Runing Mansion City, two teams of people gathered together.In front of the team, Wu Shigong and Li Lu said goodbye in Yiyi.

"Brother Li! I really don't want you to leave!" Wu Shigong sighed.

"Don't be a mother-in-law, I'm going back to the capital to be a master. It doesn't look like you are still staying in Henan to endure hardships. I envy you." After making a few jokes, Li Lu also sighed, "Hey! Finally relieved. "

Li Lu's memorial to begging for bones was approved with rare efficiency, and the court allowed Li Lu to return to the capital to retire.In fact, both Wu Shigong and Li Lu also understood the court's intentions, they wanted to cut off the left and right arms of the Runing Army.The only good news is that the candidate for the new Nanyang General Soldier has not yet been decided.

"Are you really willing to have such a big family business in Nanyang?" Wu Shigong asked.

Li Lu didn't answer, he watched two flying birds playing happily on the branch in the distance.After a long while, he touched his lame leg and said, "I came to Nanyang to provide for the elderly. After more than ten years, I feel that my previous life was spent on dogs. To tell you the truth In other words, the days spent with my brother-in-law and you are really the most comfortable. But I have no ambitions. I have been fighting, and I have been fighting. When I went to Hejian, more than 500 brothers followed me, and only 700 came back. I I can't take it anymore, I can't sleep at night after I come back, I can't sleep all the time! I'm getting old!"

Looking at Li Lu's white hair at the temples, Wu Shigong also felt a little sad, but seeing Li Lu's face full of vicissitudes.He still made a joke to liven up the atmosphere: "You are not old, and I have been watching you alive and kicking. To be honest, so many widows in Henan who have lost their husbands are still waiting for you to save! You just have the heart to leave they?"

Li Lu was unprepared all of a sudden, he choked on these words and started coughing, coughing, and couldn't help laughing, after finally calming down, he pointed at Wu Shigong and scolded with a smile: "Brother-in-law, just laugh at me! I'm fifty Well, there are three grandsons and granddaughters. Why aren’t you old? Forget it, it’s too late to say anything now. When you return to the capital, we two brothers will find a good drink. At that time, the world should be peaceful!” [

"The world is peaceful! Hey! The world is peaceful!" Wu Shigong repeatedly chewed on this word.He shook his head unconsciously.After seeing Wu Shigong's actions, Li Lu also understood in his heart.The world is in such a mess.If you are unlucky, you will not be able to wait for the time when the world is peaceful in this life.

Besides, Wu Shigong was also guarding against the court's disadvantages to him, so he would definitely not return to the capital and be in danger.So this farewell is tantamount to the forever farewell of the two, so they are very melancholy in their hearts.

"Brother-in-law! You have to worry more about the brothers who stay in Nanyang. Just treat them as your own subordinates. If you do something wrong, don't be polite. You can beat and scold them as you like, but you must arrange their escape. These days. There are It is a blessing to have a room and a stutter to eat!" Li Lu exhorted.

"Don't worry about that. The inspectors have been arranged in Nanyang, and they all come according to the standards of our Runing Army. Those who don't want to join the army will be allocated housing and land. No matter what, they won't suffer. Also, you I will also pay for the burning and burial of the casualties this time, according to the standards of our Runing Army, so you can go back to the capital and be a master with peace of mind!"

"Then I won't be polite." Li Lu said with a smile, "I didn't expect to get you a fortune before I left. I feel really relieved!"

After laughing a few times, Li Lu put away his smile and said, "Be careful yourself, don't rush forward all the time. If money is really tight, the property I left in Nanyang is at your disposal. You're really welcome at that time."

Wu Shigong didn't say a word, the two of them have already moved their feelings.Wu Shigong stepped forward, hugged Li Lu tightly, and whispered, "Take care!"

"Take care of yourself!"

After speaking, Li Lu held back his tears, unwilling to show his childlike appearance in front of everyone, so he immediately turned around and limped towards the carriage.As he walked, he babbled nonsense, "After riding a horse all my life, I can finally lie on the carriage. Enjoy! Pity me, the cripple."

Watching Li Lu get into the carriage, Wu Shigong waved to Li Lu's captain.The captain of the personal army immediately bowed to Wu Shigong: "Master Wu!", but he was timid and refused to approach.

"What! Are you still afraid that I will beat you?" Wu Shigong roared.

"Don't dare! Master Wu! Little..." Amidst the laughter of the surrounding people, the captain of the personal army approached Wu Shigong a few steps.

"Boy! Listen carefully, take good care of your master! Otherwise..." Wu Shigong said while looking up and down at the captain of the personal army with malicious intent.

"Master Wu, don't worry! The little one will never let the master get tired!" the captain of the guard immediately promised.

Wu Shigong nodded, and waved his hand to let the captain of the personal soldier back away.Li Lu also didn't show up in the carriage until their convoy went further and further... [

It wasn't until the convoy turned into black spots on the horizon that Wu Shigong withdrew his thoughts.He said to a 30-year-old man dressed as a military officer next to him: "This time, the veteran sent you here with the intention of training you. I will tell you the truth. Li Zongbing returned to Beijing after his official post. Send you to Nanyang to take charge of the army. I dare not say whether it will be successful, but I have to give you some military merits first. But there are always risks in the battlefield, so are you willing to make meritorious deeds on the battlefield?"

Seeing that Wu Shigong's Runing Army has repeatedly made military exploits, the old man Zhao Ming, the commander of Gui Dewei, finally couldn't hold back, and he also wanted to board the Shuning Army of the Runing Army.So this time he sent his eldest son, Qianhu Zhao Degong, to Runing, hoping to let Wu Shigong support him well, so that Zhao Ming's family background could be improved to a higher level.

Of course Wu Shigong would not refuse Zhao Ming's offer, and after discussing with Deng Qifan and the others, he felt that Zhao Degong was a suitable candidate to succeed Li Lu.The military attache of the Runing Army system must not be suitable to take over Li Lu's position now, otherwise, the imperial court would not have approved Li Lu's official memorial so quickly.So from the point of view of official position, age and friendship, Zhao Degong's succession is most in line with the interests of the Runing Army.

Of course, Zhao Degong's official position is still relatively low, so Wu Shigong is going to give him some military merits and elevate him above the guerrilla level. In this way, if he uses his money and connections to move around in the officialdom, maybe Zhao Degong can become the commander of Nanyang military attache. (to be continued...)
