Crazy at the end of the Ming Dynasty

But after suffering such a defeat, Nanjing Jingying no longer dared to fight in the field.While Lu Jiude defended the camp, he urgently sent messengers to the Runing Army by boat, asking them to step up their offensive, hoping that the Runing Army would share the pressure on the Nanjing Jingying.

However, before the results of the messenger's call for help came back, Nanjing Jingying was hit again.On the third night, the Nanjing Jingying Camp was attacked by the Fifth Gezuo Battalion.And this night attack was not a sneak attack at all. The fifth battalion of Gezuo was dispatched noisily, and under the deafening sound of artillery fire, they broke into the big camp of the Nanjing Jingying camp.

Lu Jiude couldn't control the troops immediately, so they had to abandon the camp and hastily retreated fifty miles, gathering the defeated troops under the protection of the city behind.

At this time, no matter how stupid Lu Jiude is, he will know that the Runing Army is doing something.The Fifth Gezuo Battalion was originally in the Dabie Mountains, and it was impossible to run and play on the mountain roads with heavy artillery, so they must have no heavy artillery when they came out of the rivers and lakes.And in the next city to be conquered, most of the defensive fortress guns that are difficult to move will be seized. It is impossible to have so many fast-moving and powerful artillery.Not to mention where there are so many gunners.

But Lu Jiude and other generals who know the world's soldiers have heard of it, and they all know that the guns of the Runing Army are sharp.With such a judgment, isn't the source of those artillery obvious?

So Lu Jiude and others were shocked. They were afraid that the Runing Army had colluded with the Fifth Gezuo Battalion and officially started the rebellion.But this kind of judgment is too earth-shattering, without evidence, Lu Jiude dare not take this guess to the court rashly.So on the one hand, he asked Nanjing for help, asking them to send more troops to help; on the other hand, he even sent messengers to the Runing Army, asking them to explain the reason clearly.

But the actions of Gezuo Fifth Battalion were very strange.They neither took advantage of the victory to pursue, nor rushed into Nanzhili through the gap left by the Nanjing Jingying.Just went forward to confront the Nanjing Jingying, and stopped fighting again.

Then the messenger sent to the Runing Army sent a reply. Xue Yongli categorically denied any act of supporting the enemy, and refused Lu Jiude's request for the Runing Army to fight on the pretext that it was difficult for the tired troops to fight.

"Bastard! Damn! Wu thief. He is also a traitor! He not only wants profit, but also fame!" Lu Jiude was furious in the big tent.How could Lu Jiude, who has been in the officialdom for many years, not see the intentions of the Runing Army?But now there is no evidence of the Runing Army's rebellion at all, and the Nanjing Jingying was defeated by the Gezuo Fifth Battalion, which makes Lu Jiude feel miserable now. [

Lu Jiude knew that in case he played the court himself.It is said that the Runing Army rebelled.The Runing Army can also retort: ​​It was the defeat of the Nanjing Jingying, and they wanted to put the responsibility for the defeat on the Runing Army.Leaving aside whether such a pen-and-ink lawsuit will win, even if the imperial court believes its own side of the story, in order not to anger the Runing army and force them to rebel, the imperial court will also remove its official position.He even chopped off his own head to give the Runing Army an explanation.

"Boss! The student has something to say and I don't know if I can say it." Lu Jiude's most trusted aide said when he saw that everyone in the tent was silent.

"Speak! Miscellaneous, listen."

"The current strategy must not anger Wu Runing. It is best to use a procrastination word." The aide said.

"Why?" Lu Jiude immediately became interested.

"Wu Runing's heart is wrong, the sage and all the princes in the court are well aware of it. Now that Wu Runing is not in Runing, his army behind the Ge Zuo thief will make him follow his original plan. But according to what the students have seen, his present It won't be the other way around."

"Oh? Tell me!"

"First, he is not in Runing, so it is difficult to make timely decisions; second, Wu Runing's family members are all in the capital, so he has some scruples; third, he is in Liaodong, and if there is a "chaos" here, he is in Liaodong. The siege of the Lu elite soldiers is the way to death. Therefore, the Runing camp behind the Ge Zuo thief is just trying to get more benefits." The aide said.

"Then what do you mean by 'drag'?" Lu Jiude asked again.

"The current army of the Dong family has the Ge Zuo thief in the front and Wu Runing in the back. It is an absolute disadvantage. Don't start a war recklessly, and don't provoke the other side. You must use the strategy of delaying the army. Since Wu Runing wants to benefit, then we will give it to him and stabilize them first. Besides, as time goes on, the Holy Son of Heaven will work hard to become stronger, and there is still opportunity in the future. Even if it is unfavorable, the Zhang thief in Huguang and the intruder in Henan have become popular, and Wu Runing will also be their enemy. The owner is preparing for the future ah!"

"Are you talking about moving the disaster to the east?" Lu Jiude asked with a frown.

"Exactly!"

"Hey!" Lu Jiude let out a long sigh, "The miscellaneous family is afraid that the misfortune will move to the east and fail, so here comes a wolf to enter the house!"

What Lu Jiude was worried about was that if the Runing Army occupied this place, it would pose a great threat to Nanjing and Fengyang. I'm afraid that I won't survive this future.

"Boss! The student has something to say in private." Seeing that Lu Jiude was a little hesitant, the staff member was about to say something from the bottom of his heart. [

Lu Jiude waved his hand to let the idlers leave the big tent, and then asked in a low voice: "Is there anything else you can't say in front of everyone, sir?"

"Boss! Just in case, what the student said is just in case, then Wu Runing really did the unspeakable thing, but he is from a noble family, he came from a noble family, and he has always been friends with officials and gentry in the past, respecting saints and sages, and practicing education." , don’t choose for the worst. It’s better than those thieves!”

What the aide was talking about was class interests.He believes that it is a change of dynasty, as long as the interests of the ruling class of the Ming Dynasty are not harmed, it can still be tolerated.The peasant armies such as Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong represented the poor class, and they were incompatible with the ruling class of the Ming Dynasty, and the contradictions between them could not be reconciled completely.

In fact, this is also the biggest problem faced by peasant troops like Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong.Although up to now, some literati have taken refuge in them, but they are still not recognized by the official, gentry and landlord class.Unless they take the initiative to welcome the official, gentry and landlord class, and act as representatives of the official, gentry and landlord class like Zhu Yuanzhang did, otherwise, even if they conquer the country, they will not be able to sit firmly, and there is absolutely no future.

Therefore, Wu Shigong's background and the policies he implemented are exactly the right path. During the feudal dynasty, it was impossible to go beyond the level of productivity at that time for a bourgeois or bourgeois revolution. class representatives.

Otherwise, even if a group of mud-legged people conquer the world, the leader will still be the emperor, and his civil servants and military generals will still accept concubines and save land, and become a new generation of officials, gentry and landlords, so what is the essential difference? Woolen cloth?The exploited peasants rebelled for a long time and were still exploited peasants, and the older generation of gentry and landlords who were replaced, deprived of their property and status, how could they not resist desperately to the end?

"But... But Zajia is a member of the palace!" Lu Jiude was still a little hesitant, facing his confidant, Lu Jiude also opened his heart.At this position, Lu Jiude will definitely not be a foolish and loyal person, but he is still very worried about his future.

As far as civil servants are concerned, although a small group of the most trusted civil servants are the emperor and courtiers, the vast majority of civil servants will not affect anything at all if they change the emperor.But the eunuch is a little different.Eunuchs are the ones who serve the emperor with him, and they must be the most trusted people of the emperor, so if the emperor is changed, the personal eunuch will definitely be replaced.Lu Jiude was worried that if the dynasty changed, his status would plummet.

"Why doesn't the owner think about it? Then Wu Runing and the Nanyang Mine Supervisor are very close!" the staff reminded.

Lu Jiude thought about it for a while, and said to the staff: "That's the end of what I said today. Don't think about it so much now, let's find someone to talk to there first! It's okay to agree to the request, but it can't be too much. At least you have to get it." Grandfather's approval."

"Then the student will just go to the other side to find out what's going on?"

"Then thank you for your hard work, sir. Needless to say, let the other side agree to a temporary truce. Also, bring a gift to go there!"

"Then Wu Runing's vision is also high. Maybe he doesn't pay attention to him if he has less belts!"

"Then..."

The two discussed in detail in the big tent.

Then, Lu Jiude's confidant and staff member started shuttle diplomacy, and the three armies also quieted down, forming a de facto truce.

However, the negotiations between the staff and the Runing Army were very unsuccessful. Regarding the Runing Army's plan to resettle the Gezuo Fifth Battalion and garrison troops here, Lu Jiude proposed to limit the number of resettlement and opposed the garrison.After all, it is impossible for Lu Jiude to let such a big force stay by his side.On the contrary, Lu Jiude agreed to increase the departure fee.

In order to put pressure on, Xue Yongli manipulated the Gezuo Fifth Battalion to fight and stop.Anyway, after a long time of exhausting bargaining, Xue Yongli finally reached an agreement with Lu Jiude.

One hundred thousand Gezuo Fifth Battalion Peasant Army was placed on the spot in Hexian County, and the Runing Army arranged wasteland reclamation firms to form Tuntian Zhuangzi and manage them.The rest will be brought back to Runing by the Runing Army and resettled in Guide.As for the land needed for Tuntian Zhuangzi, both parties tacitly did not mention it.

The Runing Army can garrison [-] troops in He County, and Lu Jiude will also send a general to lead [-] troops to garrison here.

As for the departure fee, Lu Jiude agreed to increase it to 20 taels.However, as a thank you, Xue Yongli actually only received the original 15 taels.For the kindness of the Runing Army, Lu Jiude also reciprocated courtesy. After the agreement was reached, Lu Jiude gave Wu Shigong a special gift through that trusted staff member, that is, the two people he forcibly recruited from Nanjing City—— Liu Rushi and Gu Hengbo.
