Crazy at the end of the Ming Dynasty

The complete annihilation of Tian Jianxiu's department allowed the Runing Army to regain its "vision", because there was no Dashun Army blocking it, allowing the Runing Army's scouts to explore the situation northward.

However, there are still a large number of Dashun Army troops "hunting wild food" in Beizhili now, so the scouts of the Runing Army can't get close to the capital, so the only way to find out information is to capture and interrogate prisoners. Know the situation in the capital.

From the very beginning, Wu Shigong and the others learned that the capital had been captured by Li Zicheng.But what is surprising is that Yang Rusong's troops have occupied the outer city of the capital, and Wu Shigong's family is also safe and sound in the outer city.

However, when the army going north came to Shimen, they unexpectedly learned that the Guanning cavalry in Shanhaiguan had issued a letter of appeal, and Li Zicheng was about to lead the main force of the Dashun army to leave Beijing to pacify Wu Sangui's Guanning cavalry.

As soon as he heard the news, Wu Shigong immediately picked up the memory of his previous life.He knew that Li Zicheng's expedition to suppress the rebellion this time was more ominous than good, and that the Qing army would work with Guan Ning cavalry to wipe out the main force of the Dashun army.

In addition, the capital will soon fall into the hands of the Qing army, and the enemies that the Runing army will face will immediately become two powerful armies, the Qing army and the Guanning iron cavalry.

But in this way, the Runing Army will face a choice.Because no matter how the future situation will develop, the collapse of the Ming Dynasty has become a fact.At this time, Wu Shigong can change the dynasty, or he can set up a vassal king to coerce the emperor to order the princes.But no matter what choice he made, the friendly army around him——Yu Zilian's Heiyun Army immediately became the biggest factor of instability.

What if Yu Zilian snatches the crown prince Zhu Cihong after arriving in the capital?What if the Runing army established a feudal king, but Yu Zilian established another feudal king?What if Wu Shigong changes dynasty, but Yu Zilian strikes back?Wu Shigong didn't dare to take risks, so he decided to deal with the Heiyun army around him first.

The evening of July [-]th.Wu Shigong sent an envoy to invite Yu Zilian to discuss the "military situation", but Yu Zilian, who was on guard, refused to enter the camp of the Runing Army at will.After the envoys negotiated back and forth several times, the two agreed to set up a tent between the two camps on the morning of the second day, and bring their staff and a small number of guards to meet in the tent.

On the first day of August, Shimen, in the tent between the camps of Runing Army and Heiyun Army.

"Master Yu! Did you know that the capital city has been breached by the Shan thieves, and both the emperor and the empress have lost their lives?" Wu Shigong asked straight to the point as soon as they met.

Obviously, Yu Zilian also got the news from his spies.He frowned and said: "No matter what, we still have to go to the capital. If the princes are lucky enough, the Ming Dynasty can still continue."

"Don't you now think that the national games of the Ming Dynasty will last forever?" Wu Shigong said dismissively.

"General Wu! What do you mean?" Zuo Yin who was behind Yu Zilian interrupted immediately.Hearing Wu Shigong's rebellious words, Yu Zilian and the others also became nervous.

Wu Shigong didn't answer Zuo Yin's words.He began to talk to himself: "I said Fenggu! We have known each other for sixteen or seven years! Back then we were young and energetic, and there were some things that we couldn't say who was right and who was wrong. But then I was right. I appreciate one of your advantages. What is it? You have the world and the people in your heart. I still remember your sneer at me by the canal. I am a member of Xuehou’s family. Of course I will not be polite to you. But I I also know that Eunuch Wei is not a good person, and you are right in what you said. To be honest, if you didn’t have this advantage, you wouldn’t be able to create such a big situation now.”

"And Fenggu, you have also been the magistrate of Ningling County for so many years, and you must know what kind of scumbag the Ming court is. It has made a good country riddled with holes. The people are so harmed that they can't survive. .Since the people from the Zhu family can't be the emperor, then someone should be replaced. Anyway, now that the capital is broken and the emperor is dead, there is a saying that is good. It is Qin who lost his deer, and the world chases him! Today I and You say this because you want to listen to your straightforward words. Either follow me, or don’t follow me, don’t waste time with mothers-in-law, there are still Shaanxi thieves and tartars in the capital.”

"What should I say to you? What if I don't tell you?" Yu Zilian kept a serious face, but he didn't refute Wu Shigong's words, and wanted to hear the conditions first.

"It's okay if you don't follow me. I don't want to ruin our friendship. You take your soldiers and return to the south of the Yellow River immediately. Whether you stay in Henan, go to Jiangnan or Northwest, it's up to you I don't care. But this time, if we don't say goodbye, it can be regarded as breaking our friendship. The next time we meet, we will fight each other, so don't worry about offending us." Wu Shigong said plainly.

Seeing Yu Zilian and the others' thoughtful expressions, as if they were still digesting Wu Shigong's words, Wu Shigong paused for a moment to let them think about it.

Yu Zilian thought for a while, but didn't make any answer, just nodded to Wu Shigong, and said, "Go on!"

"Follow me! Then you have to give up your Black Cloud Army now and hand over the Black Cloud Army to me to command. Your troops will be dispersed, and I will send some officers to your army to command, and you will stay in my army." In the big camp, as a staff member, we will go to the capital together." Wu Shigong said.

But hearing such excessive conditions, Zuo Yin immediately jumped up: "General Wu, you are deceiving people too much! Let us stay in your camp with no soldiers? Who do you think would be so bold? How dare you do something so stupid?"

"Hmph!" Wu Shigong made a disdainful expression, and continued: "I said I wouldn't kill you, so I won't come to take your lives; I said I let you come and go freely, so you can come and go freely; I said that if I let you have a good future, I will give you a good future. What I said is worth a word, can anyone question it?"

Yang Tinglin on the side immediately smoothed things over and said: "General Wu! Don't get angry! It is true that our Heiyun army is not as large as your army, but it is not without strength. What General Wu said is also a bit too much, it seems that we will not let us If we can discuss with you, let our whole army surrender. Brother Zuo is just worried that the general will renege on his promise and become fat!"

"My words and deeds have been publicized to the world for more than ten years. Whether I will break my promise or not, no one needs to believe it!" Facing Yang Tinglin's soft but hard words, Wu Shigong's answer was very arrogant, "Actually, it is you who choose now: one is to bring Let your Heiyun army leave and become the warlord of that side; one is to give up military power and join hands with our Runing army to rule this vast central empire. In fact, it is in your hands where you go. "(To be continued.. )
