Crazy at the end of the Ming Dynasty

Of course, pushing Zhao Degong to the top position is also wishful thinking of Wu Shigong and the others.According to reason, the imperial court did not give up Nanyang's fragrant steamed bun so easily.Not to mention other things, just talking about the food and pay for the more than 4000 soldiers and [-] soldiers left behind by Li Lu is enough to make people salivate.

So Wu Shigong is now making two-handed preparations.It would be best if Zhao Degong could be promoted to the top position, otherwise, Zhou Xun would have to organize the more than 4000 soldiers left by Li Lu into the Runing Army as soon as possible, and at most it would only leave an empty shelf for the court.

Although it is unlikely that Zhao Degong will be successful, Wu Shigong and the others still have to be prepared.There is no harm in pushing Zhao Degong to a higher position, at least he can have a closer relationship with Zhao Ming, the military attache of Guidewei.Besides, if you don't work hard, how do you know you won't succeed?

Of course, it is in Wu Shigong's hands to push and push, and whether to give Zhao Degong the real power.It depends on Zhao Degong's future performance.If he can integrate into the Runing Army group, Wu Shigong will give him some real power.Otherwise, let him be a puppet at ease!

But Zhao Degong was quite happy after hearing Wu Shigong's words.When he came to Runing, he thought he was gilded according to his father's arrangement.But now he has been reused immediately, and if he can enter the core of the Runing Army again, that would be his dream.So Zhao Degong saluted very respectfully: "The final general will follow the arrangement of the commander-in-chief, and the final general will live up to your trust!"

Wu Shigong smiled slightly, and said politely: "Don't stick to the etiquette. I have just arrived in Guide and have been taken care of by the old general, and there is nothing in return. You and I went out of the same school. You can call me 'brother' on weekdays."

Zhao Degong hurriedly saluted again, with a more respectful tone: "Since the future is here, he is your subordinate, and he should respect the superiority and inferiority of the superiors. He will never dare to be rude in the army. Please forgive me, my lord."

After testing, Wu Shigong was also very satisfied with Zhao Degong's attitude.He nodded with a smile.He didn't speak any more, and walked towards the Runing army camp first.

At this moment, a battalion of the Runing Army just went out for training, and seeing that the soldiers of that battalion were about to meet his own team, Wu Shigong swung his horse's head and gave way to the side of the road to let the soldiers of that battalion go first.

Seeing Wu Shigong's gesture, Chi Ming immediately waved his hand to let the soldiers of the battalion who had already avoided go first, so the soldiers of that battalion passed Wu Shigong's team one by one under the orders of the officers.When passing by Wu Shigong, those officers and soldiers also saluted Wu Shigong one after another.

Until the whole army passes.Zhao Degong, who was behind him, asked in a low voice: "My lord! Why is the uniform of this army different from other troops?"

Wu Shigong was silent for a while before saying in a deep voice: "They are all children of the bereaved family. A special battalion was formed."

The uniforms of the soldiers in this battalion are very different from the regular military uniforms of the Runing Army, they are all pure white.The reason why they wear such colored clothes is that these soldiers are in mourning for their families.

The soldiers of this battalion are all the family members of the bloody ridge battle martyrs, and all of them signed up voluntarily.Wu Shigong organized them into a battalion separately and incorporated them into his personal army.Moreover, he personally awarded the military flag and named it "The First Battalion".Wu Shigong also promised: this battalion can, if conditions permit, receive the highest honor of a soldier - to take the lead in charging in battle.

……

Chongzhen 12th May 21st.Thirty miles west of Junzhou City.Wang Guangen is in the camp.

"Brother Wang! We have settled down here for more than a year, and finally we don't have to suffer through the stormy days. But now the Eighth King and Cao Cao have sent letters to invite us. We have always been one body. Where do we go, brother?" Just make up your mind!" A leader of the peasant army said to Wang Guangen.

"Thanks to the attention of the brothers, I will speak from my heart. We rebelled back then. We only asked for food and clothing. But since we were recruited, has this place treated us badly? Needless to say, the sons and daughters under my command live and work in peace and contentment, and the rewards from the local government are also good. Constantly. Some of our brothers here are even married to rich local families. This is a man with a conscience. No matter how bad things happen to this place, I, Lao Wang, can’t stand it anyway. Besides, the Eight Great Kings and Cao Cao are against each other again, and following them is just eating If we don't rebel, the imperial court will value us even more. From the perspective of the future, it's better not to rebel. What do you think, brothers?" Wang Guangen said.

From the analysis of interests, the leaders of the peasant army present are also a little moved.But one leader hesitated for a while, and then expressed his worry: "After all, the Eight Great Kings and Cao Cao are the leaders of the alliance. If they don't obey their orders, if they hold grudges in their hearts, we will have no room to relax. "

Most of the leaders of the Peasant Army were fencers. Although they didn't want to rebel at this time, they didn't want to offend Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai either.Besides, although the peasant army has always been divided into battalions, Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, and Luo Rucai often became the leaders of the alliance and commanded the peasant army of each battalion. Therefore, at this time, some leaders were deeply afraid of the power of Zhang and Luo.

But after hearing this, Wang Guangen stood up from his chair with a "thump", and he encouraged loudly: "The big men set up their own families, and now we offer loyalty and rebellion, and my generation will also rebel. It's from under his pants, and I won't do it. "

Seeing that the leader, Wang Guangen, was so determined, the other leaders no longer hesitated, and they uttered a series of "OK!", "Middle!".Then Wang Guangen, Wang Guoning, Hui Dengxiang, Chang Guoan, Yang Youxian and other battalion leaders bit their fingers on the spot, made an alliance with blood, and wrote a letter to Xiong Wencan to express their firm position, and asked the court to "divide obedience from obedience" and take the initiative to seek war from the imperial court.

When the leaders of the peasant army finished their excitement and returned to their camps, Wang Guangen returned to his study in his house, where a middle-aged man dressed as a scribe was drinking tea leisurely.

Seeing Wang Guangen coming in, the middle-aged scribe put down his teacup and asked with a smile, "Master Wang! What's the result of today's discussion?"

"Fulfilling the trust!" Wang Guangen did not blame the middle-aged scribe for being rude. He smiled and sat down on the chair beside him, raised his hand and poured himself a cup of tea, and drank it in one gulp.

The middle-aged scribe was Lin Yufei, a secret agent of the Runing Military Intelligence Bureau. He brought a caravan to Junzhou again this time to persuade Wang Guangen and the others not to join forces with Zhang and Luo.

After drinking tea, Wang Guangen asked eagerly, "Mr. Lin, what did you promise...?"

Lin Yufei smiled and said: "Master Wang reported 2000 people. Anyway, we both know how many people there are in your Fifth Battalion. I don't want to be a villain, so let's use 3 as the number, one tael per person , converted into weapons, food, armor, etc., you report the amount, and we will ship it right away."

Wang Guangen immediately rejoiced and said: "Mr. Lin is so refreshing!" (To be continued...)
