Crazy at the end of the Ming Dynasty

We haven't seen each other for a long time, so after saying this, Xue Yufei didn't know what to say other than being gentle in Wu Shigong's arms.For the latest free chapters of this book, please visit www.After making out for a while, Xue Yufei asked without words: "Why did your husband change horses? Why didn't you see that crazy horse this time?"

"Ren Lai Crazy has been injured several times, and his articulation is also high. He can no longer be a war horse. But he can't sit still. I originally asked him not to come out in Runing this time, but he was clamoring to follow, so now he is In the barracks, I will ask someone to bring it to visit the mistress later. The horse I am riding is called 'Blackfoot', and it has a very irritable temper. Whenever I see people going crazy, I will fight, so I will not take them put it together."

But after saying this, Xue Yufei's eyes turned red again.She thought of the long-term separation of the husband and wife, and they became old without knowing it, which made Xue Yufei very sad.

But Xue Yufei also thought that before leaving Beijing this time, her father Xue Lianqian had warned her: Do not persuade Wu Shigong to return to Beijing, so as not to affect Wu Shigong's career.So Xue Yufei could only sigh softly: "Hey! Lin'er can't see his father, and Ping'er can't see his mother. You have been making my concubine tremble in fear on the battlefield. I don't know when this day will end ?”

Regarding this, Wu Shigong didn't have any suitable words to comfort him. He could only keep stroking Xue Yufei's shoulder and comforted him: "It will pass! It will pass!"

……

"I'm really ashamed. I disturbed the virtuous couple for a moment. Mr. Wu and the miscellaneous family will pay for a glass of wine first." After Eunuch Qin finished speaking, Yang drank a glass of wine first.

Wu Shigong hurriedly drank a glass with him, put down the glass and said with a smile: "Eunuch Qin is too polite. Didn't you already say that you call me a brother? Why? I have been working by the emperor's side, have you looked down on my brother?"|

"Where is there!" Eunuch Qin also laughed, "Then the miscellaneous family will ask you to call Brother Wu, but you are welcome, just call the miscellaneous family brother. Come, come! Have another drink." [

After the two had another drink.Wu Shigong said: "Although it is rare to drink a thousand cups with a bosom friend, drinking in a hurry can also hurt your health, and the night is long. Let's talk slowly? To be honest, I really miss you friends in the capital these years!"

"What? Want to go back to Beijing? That's good! Do you want me to talk to the emperor in front of you?"

The two tried a few words, true and false.Then he burst into a hearty laugh.

The two drank another glass of wine, and after a few mouthfuls of food, Wu Shigong put his chopsticks on the table and complained loudly: "Say something after drinking! The court is not authentic. Over the years, brother, I have no credit but also suffering Lao, but how did the imperial court treat my brother? The imperial envoys are going to arrest me and bring me back to the capital, which is not what I did. Brother, I really hold back my anger."

Eunuch Qin didn't expect Wu Shigong to be so straight to the point.He was also a little dazed for a while, but he reacted immediately, and quickly explained: "Actually, Grandpa Huang also understood in his heart that he was bullied by villains. No, didn't you send your wife here this time? It's a misunderstanding, just let it go! Just let it go!"

"I know this too, but I just want to say a few words in front of my elder brother. Brother, think about it: what am I plotting? I have worked so hard to conquer the north and south, and live a life of licking blood on the edge of a knife? My son is originally The eldest son of the Hou Mansion. If you go up, you will be a father-in-law. What more can you get? Isn’t he loyal to the emperor? Otherwise, who would not want to go back to the capital to live a stable life. "

"The miscellaneous family understands! The miscellaneous family understands!"

"For so many years, so many victories have been fought. Maintaining such a large army, how much food has been paid? How many rewards have been received? Not even a few of my brother and I have official positions. It is hard to maintain such a large army. Ah! If I hadn't wanted to serve the emperor, or if I hadn't been reluctant to leave my son-in-law behind, I would have given up a long time ago, brother. It is true that I have collected a lot of money in the local area, but it was all used by my subordinates Brother, I have a guilty conscience. And I didn’t save much money myself. Big brother, you can also find out, have I sent money to the mansion in the capital? What kind of life is Hou’s mansion now? That’s all Those civil servants still don't like the shit, so let them do it? The Tartars outside the pass keep entering the pass, and the Shaanxi thieves in the interior are running around, what are they doing?"

"Yes Yes Yes!"

"Brother Qin! I also want to understand. The current situation is that the two ends are good and the middle is bad. Thinking about the emperor, even if I am not in the capital, I also heard that the palace is quite simple, just like a sage. Appearance. Even the big brothers around the emperor, you are also cautious in your words and deeds, not at all the prestige of the inner ministers and factory guards in the past. And those of us at the bottom, working hard, can't do well, and those who have achieved a little bit will shoot out The bird. It was harmed by those unscrupulous people in the middle, even the emperor was deceived by them."

"Exactly!" Eunuch Qin nodded repeatedly.Wu Shigong's words made Eunuch Qin empathize with him, and he also knew that Emperor Chongzhen hated those civil servants who did not do anything, were busy with party disputes, and deceived him.

But Eunuch Qin's meeting this time was not to monitor Xue Yufei, nor did he come to listen to Wu Shigong's complaints. He mainly wanted to hear Wu Shigong's opinion on the battle situation.Although Emperor Chongzhen had an aversion to Wu Shigong, he also knew in his heart that Wu Shigong was very good at fighting and had a deep understanding of the war situation, so he wanted to know Wu Shigong's views through Qin Gonggong.

"Brother Wu! What's your opinion on the situation in Liaodong this time?" Eunuch Qin asked.

"Brother, I don't know the details of Liaodong, so don't blame me for saying the wrong thing!" Wu Shigong also knew that his words would reach the ears of Emperor Chongzhen, so he said very cautiously, "Master Hong's name is Zhenyu Nei, all the generals He is also a famous general, and Liaodong has elite soldiers who have fought many battles, so they have a slight advantage over the Tartars. The situation in this battle is unpredictable. Brother, I dare not speak in vain, but we are going to rescue Jinzhou. Not far, it should be a big problem!"

"According to what you said, it should be a serious obstacle?" Eunuch Qin asked again. [

"Exactly! If it is to rescue Jinzhou, the Tartars should be hard to resist, but to completely defeat the Tartars, it depends on the right time, place and people." Wu Shigong replied.

After hearing Wu Shigong's words, Eunuch Qin nodded. The current Emperor Chongzhen did not have much confidence in annihilating the Qing army.He also believes that as long as Jinzhou is rescued, the goal of this campaign can be achieved.

"How long does that brother think this battle will take?" Eunuch Qin continued to ask.Because the army assembled in Liaodong was too large, the pressure on the court's food supply was quite high, so Emperor Chongzhen wanted to find out through Eunuch Qin how long the battle would be?

"It should be three months! Brother, I heard that other officers and soldiers have already rushed to Liaodong, and they are waiting for me, the Runing Army. And I will rush to the outside of the pass in mid-July, so I can start rescue at this time. That is a hundred miles, even if you walk one mile a day, you can climb to Jinzhou City. But brother, I have to say one more thing, although we have a large army in the Ming Dynasty, we always do not work together when we can fight. This time the battle was fought alone, without the cooperation of friendly troops. If it was really a mess, then no matter how many Ming troops there were, we would be defeated by the Tartars one by one."

Eunuch Qin quickly wrote down this point, and assured Wu Shigong: "The emperor's grandfather has issued an order to Governor Hong: He must not divide the troops. Besides, Governor Hong holds the Shangfang sword and is a person who knows how to fight. He made such a big mistake. What does Brother Wu think about the situation in the interior?"

"If you're not in the position, you don't plan for the government!" Wu Shigong was more cautious about this, "But now that Mr. Yang Ge is strategizing, and General Zuo has repeatedly made military exploits, it should be difficult for Shaanxi thieves! But brothers, I promise, as long as we are needed The Runing Camp will definitely live up to the expectations of the imperial court. It’s just that this time we sent troops to Liaodong, which is more than sufficient for self-preservation, but not enough. So here, I would like to implore my elder brother: As soon as the situation in Liaodong becomes stable, I will immediately lead the troops back to Runing. Or else If the current situation changes and the Shaanxi bandits flee to Runing to wreak havoc and invade my homeland of Yingerlang in Runing, I am afraid that the morale of the army will not be stable and there will be a mutiny!"

"Hmm!" In response, Eunuch Qin just nodded, not daring to say yes to Wu Shigong.After all, it is hard to say what will happen in the future, and Eunuch Qin dare not make any guarantees here.

"Then you still think that both internal and external wars are hopeful?" Eunuch Qin finally asked.

"Hopefully! But we must not make mistakes. Now our Ming Dynasty is fighting on two fronts, and we all have a slight advantage. As long as one loses, it will take a turn for the worse. The crisis after that is unimaginable. So remember to work together. Brothers and I Just here is a guarantee: I will be absolutely loyal to the imperial court, and I will not take the past matters to heart. Otherwise, brother, I would not go to Liaodong so readily."

"This miscellaneous family knows! The emperor also knows!"

"Hey! I don't know how it happened. Our Great Ming has thousands of miles of fertile land and millions of elite soldiers. We have come to where we are today. I really don't know what to say!"

"Hey--!"

Thinking of the current predicament, the two couldn't help sighing.

"Brother Wu, this time the miscellaneous family brought you a letter from Grandpa Zhang, asking you to go to the warehouse in Tongzhou to pick up grain, grass and ordnance. You must not disappoint Grandpa Zhang's entrustment!"

"Then I will thank the emperor first here, and thank you, big brother!"

……

The conversation between Wu Shigong and Eunuch Qin should be said to be very pleasant, so in the end, Eunuch Qin also took out the handwriting of Emperor Chongzhen.Under the current situation, they decided to put aside their unhappiness and work together.

After resting for two days, the Runing Army passed Tongzhou, passed through Tianjin, and went straight to Shanhaiguan. On the way, the Runing Army was still conducting tactical training.On June 27, the Runing Army came to the world-famous Shanhaiguan.
