Crazy at the end of the Ming Dynasty

As for the Central Plains Peasant Army, there was also bad news.

After Fu Zonglong was defeated and died in the army, the Ming court promoted Shaanxi governor Wang Qiaonian to the governor of three sides in Shaanxi in November, ordering him to make rapid preparations to go east out of Tongguan and join Zuo Liangyu's troops to suppress Li and Luo's coalition forces.However, after Wang Qiaonian was ordered to "immediately mobilize soldiers and horses from all sides, and wear stars to control weapons and pay", he actively prepared to raise troops into Henan.

But before sending troops, Wang Qiaonian felt that Li Zicheng's wings had grown and the weather was very unusual, so he came up with a "strange plan". He secretly ordered Bian Dashou, the county magistrate of Mizhi County, to dig up Li Zicheng's ancestral grave, thinking that this way Fengshui would be broken. , Li Zicheng will undoubtedly lose.So this group of guys who don't know whether they are superstitious, ignorant or not doing business properly, besides venting their hatred on the dead bones of Li Zicheng's ancestors, they also regard a small snake caught in the tomb as the spirit that is about to transform into a dragon. Things, exaggerated to the fullest.

In the first month of the 15th year of Chongzhen, Wang Qiaonian took an oath to the altar in Xi'an, "cutting the snake for favoritism".In February, he led the commander-in-chief He Renlong, Zheng Jiadong, Niu Chenghu, Zhang Guoqin, Zhang Yinggui and other [-] troops out of Tongguan.When the Shaanxi government army arrived in Luoyang, the peasant army of Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai was encircling the army of Zuo Liangyu in Yancheng.

Wang Qiaonian thought it was a great opportunity to join forces with Zuo Liangyu to attack the rebels, so he left his infantry in Luoyang and led [-] cavalry to march forward.When Wang Jun arrived in Xiangcheng, a group of local officials and gentry came to meet them from afar, demanding that the officers and soldiers avenge them, and told the truth about the Li and Luo coalition forces.

This made Wang Qiaonian very happy, and he said with a high air: "The thief is in my eyes. In two or three days, I will wipe out the atmosphere of the thief for your army, and the culprit will be smashed like dust."

Then, Wang Qiaonian ordered He Renlong, Zheng Jiadong, and Niu Chenghu to lead their respective divisions, divide into three routes and march to the east of Xiangcheng forty miles, and join forces with Zuo Liangyu's troops trapped in Yancheng.He himself led four to five thousand people from Zhang Yinggui's troops into Tunxiang City.

Li Zicheng, Luo Rucai and others found out that Wang Qiaonian's army had arrived in Xiangcheng, and immediately withdrew the troops that surrounded Yancheng.Go west to meet the Shaanxi official army who came to help.On February [-]th, the peasant army won the first battle east of Xiangcheng, and Zhang Guoqin, the Ming general, was shot to death.He Renlong, Zheng Jiadong, and Niu Chenghu left without fighting, and ran back to Shaanxi.

However, after the peasant army took the initiative to rescue the siege, Zuo Liangyu not only did not attack the peasant army westward, but took the opportunity to sneak away eastward with his troops.Governor Wang Qiaonian then became a polished commander.So the peasant army attacked Xiangcheng again and conquered it on the [-]th. Zhang Yinggui, the commander-in-chief of the Ming Dynasty, was killed in the artillery fire, and Wang Qiaonian was also captured alive.

Immediately following these two battle reports came a transfer order from the imperial court.And the content of this transfer order is: Let the Runing Army rush to the Yellow River to land.Join the army of Supervisor Ding Qirui.

After the peasant army wiped out Wang Qiaonian's troops, they took advantage of the victory to conquer a large number of towns in central Henan, and gradually cleared the periphery of Kaifeng City, creating good conditions for the three attacks on Kaifeng.

Therefore, the imperial court urgently ordered Ding Qirui, governor of Baoding, Yang Wenyue, governor of Baoding, and Zuo Liangyu, Hu Dawei, Yang Dezheng, Fang Guoan, etc. to lead a large number of troops to help.The total number of officers and troops is as high as 18.Including the 1000 troops of the Runing Army led by Wu Shigong, the total number is 40.Prepare to camp on the river.Putting on a decisive battle with the Li and Luo coalition forces.

And Wu Shigong looked at the transfer order, and burst into laughter with a "puchi!"Wu Shigong's original choice of return journey was to enter the Yellow River, land at Kaifeng Mansion, and then march with arms, and return to Runing like a show of power, in order to deter Li and Luo's coalition forces.

But the situation is different now.The Runing Army must change its plan and stop wading in this muddy water.As soon as Wu Shigong received the transfer order, he shouted to the outside of the cabin: "Come here!"

"Yes!" Chi Ming hid outside the cabin door and took orders.

"Let the fleet turn to Jining, where we go ashore. Then go back to Runing through Guide. Let the troops put away the flags and everything else, make the movement quieter, and stop attracting any attention from outsiders." Wu Shigong ordered .

"promise!"

"Send someone to Ding Dushi again, and say that our Runing army hastened to return to Runing to prevent the Shaanxi thieves from going south. If Ding Dushi can drive the Shaanxi thieves to Runing and Guide, our Runing army will send troops Yes." Wu Shigong continued to order.

"promise!"

When Wu Shigong looked at the battle report and the transfer order, he did not let Luo Qingjun who was in the cabin avoid it.So Luo Qingjun also knew that Wu Shigong's order was completely opposite to the court's order.Although she doesn't know much about state affairs, Luo Qingjun couldn't help the doubts in her heart, so she asked: "Husband! The court asked you to go to Governor Ding, but you returned to Ru Ning, so that the court and Ding The face of the supervisor is not very good!"

It was only at this time that Wu Shigong remembered that there were "outsiders" in the cabin, so he immediately put on a face and said, "Don't interfere in government affairs from now on."

Then, Wu Shigong stood up, and wanted to go to Chang Liuqin's cabin to visit her who was already embarrassed.When leaving the hatch, Wu Shigong dropped another sentence: "Is it necessary to listen to the words of the imperial court and Governor Ding?"

Encountered Wu Shigong's cold face and cold words one after another, Luo Qingjun's eyes immediately turned red.

Luo Qingjun is indeed twenty-eight years old, his appearance can't be said to be beautiful, and his beauty can be regarded as first-class, and he has received strict boudoir education since he was a child, so he can handle everything from housekeepers to female celebrities.

Moreover, Luo Qingjun's status in the Luo family is also very high, she is a daughter of the direct line, her father and several uncles are all high-ranking officials.Therefore, according to Luo Qingjun's conditions, she should have married a talented young man who also came from an official family as his wife.

But in the end, Luo Qingjun's Prince Charming dream was shattered.After thousands of choices, she married an "old man" in his early thirties, and this old man was a vulgar martial artist.In addition, this old man not only has a large group of wives and concubines, but also a large group of children, even the position of the main wife has to be shared with another young lady of the Hou Fu, which made Luo Qingjun feel quite wronged.Fortunately, she didn't know that Wu Shigong didn't want her to sit in the position of the main wife at all, otherwise, she might really get angry.

However, it is impossible for Luo Qingjun to resist the important political marriage decided by the family.So she also had a helpless fantasy: With her noble status, beauty, upbringing, and wrist, Wu Shigong, an old man, would treasure her, hold her in his hand for fear of freezing, and hold her in his mouth for fear of melting. ?

But it was completely beyond Luo Qingjun's expectation. After marrying Wu Shigong, Wu Shigong didn't seem to care at all about Luo's family background, Luo Qingjun's luxurious dowry group, her generous dowry, or her He cared about her youthful beauty, although that attitude could not be called indifferent, but it could only be said that he treated Luo Qingjun as an ordinary woman.

And today Luo Qingjun was reprimanded for meddling in government affairs, didn't this simple-minded warrior husband know?I have a family background of officials and eunuchs, and I can always help my husband in government affairs and official relations. I have been known for my beauty and wisdom since I was a child, and I really don't know good people.Thinking of this, Luo Qingjun was so wronged that he almost cried out.

"Miss! Don't be angry, it's not good if you get angry." Luo Qingjun's dowry mother comforted, "I don't know what the masters think, but you chose such a young master for Miss. It's okay. Even a local general is not as good as a local magistrate. Even if he knows how to fight, he is not a reckless man. The lady's wedding is so-so, and now she is playing tricks on the lady. I really don't know the blessings .”

"That's right! That's right!" The dowry maid on the side also said: "Even if my aunt is brave, the maidservant thinks that's not the case. Otherwise, why would he not listen to the court and flee back to Ru Ning with the army?"

"You all stop talking." Luo Qingjun said with a sob.Hearing those comforting words just now made her feel pain in her heart, "Don't speak ill of your husband in the future, I don't like to hear it." As he spoke, Luo Qingjun's tears fell, Right now, she felt as if she had knocked out her teeth and swallowed.

……

But the current Wu Shigong still doesn't know Luo Qingjun's child mentality, to be honest, he doesn't attach much importance to this marriage.Now the Luo family is begging Wu Shigong, but Wu Shigong has nothing to do with the Luo family.As for Luo Qingjun's dowry, not to mention Wu Shigong's rich net worth, he would not be so downcast as to use his own woman's private money.

Therefore, Wu Shigong's attitude towards Luo Qingjun is no different from that towards other wives, even worse than his favorite wives like Li Xin, Zhao Ruya, Xiu Zhu, Zhu Yun, etc.

Therefore, this marriage was relatively cold from the very beginning, and Luo Qingjun seemed to feel that there was a layer of estrangement between the two of them.It's not that Wu Shigong deliberately wanted to hurt Luo Qingjun, because Wu Shigong has always been kind to his women.The main reason is that Luo Qingjun still can't let go of her figure, she always feels that she should be more noble than Wu Shigong, so she waits for Wu Shigong to take the initiative to give in.Unexpectedly, the series of events that happened next took Luo Qingjun by surprise.

The first is in Jinan.When the Runing Army passed by Jinan Mansion, Shandong Governor Yan Jizu and Shandong General Liu Zeqing led a large group of officials out of the city to meet them on the side of the Grand Canal.And knowing that Wu Shigong had just been "newly married", they even gave generous gifts and entertained them with feasts, which really gave Luo Qingjun enough face.

If this was just an official entertainment, then the next scene made Luo Qingjun even more complacent.After arriving in Jining, the son of Yan Shenggong also came to the side of the canal to greet him.Moreover, Wu Shigong and the prince are called brothers and brothers, and they are very familiar with each other.Of course, according to the seniority of the masters, the son of Yan Shenggong and Wu Shigong are true brothers.

Although Yan Shenggong's son also came to visit Wu Shigong for the reason of betting on the world and business, but in Luo Qingjun's eyes, this is the relationship between the most dear and precious family in the world and his husband!How many people in the entire Ming Dynasty could be treated differently by Yan Shenggong?A wife is more expensive than a husband, so Luo Qingjun, a little girl, was immediately immersed in intoxication.
