Crazy at the end of the Ming Dynasty

After Wu Shigong left the county government, he came to the teahouse next to the county gate, waiting for Foreman Jiang to come back.He sat alone at a table, ordered a pot of tea, and drank it one after another, feeling depressed in his heart.

Suddenly, a government servant on horseback let go of his horse and rushed out of the county seat.He suddenly saw Wu Shigong's guards waiting outside the teahouse, so he quickly reined in and jumped off the horse.The yamen servant confirmed to Wu Shigong's guards that Wu Shigong ran into the teahouse immediately after he was in the teahouse.

As soon as he saw Wu Shigong, the yamen servant knelt down with a "plop", and with a cry in his voice, he reported to Wu Shigong, "Wu Qianhu, some rioters are going to attack the county seat! The county lord asked Wu Qianhu to go to the county yamen to discuss matters quickly ah!"

The yamen servant yelled loudly, but Wu Shigong didn't respond yet, when the other tea drinkers in the teahouse heard it, they all scattered and went home with a "boom".

Wu Shigong's whole body shivered after hearing the yamen servant's report.Is this the beginning of the chaos in the world?Could it be that this thousand-household office of my own is going to bear the brunt of the chaos in the world?Wu Shigong shook his head vigorously, regaining consciousness.Immediately stood up.He thought in his heart: "Don't say anything, go to the county government to find out the situation first."

When returning to the county office, Wu Shigong saw that people in the county towns on both sides of the road were running around like headless chickens.It seems that there is no secret place in this county. It is estimated that at this time, the whole county has spread the news that the rioters are going to attack the county.

After arriving at the county government office, Wu Shigong rushed into the county government office immediately.As soon as he entered the county office, he saw County Magistrate Qi circling around in the lobby of the county government office, while a man dressed as a military officer stood beside Magistrate Qi.

Hearing Wu Shigong's footsteps coming in, County Magistrate Qi and the military officer both looked at Wu Shigong.Wu Shigong also looked at the military officer, and when they saw it, both of them cried out.

"Commander Lee."

"Commander Wu."

That military officer was none other than Li Lu, Wu Shigong's former commander when he was the commander of the Nancheng Bingma Command Department.

After seeing Li Lu, Wu Shigong's expression changed.In his memory, Li Lu went to Nanyang Mansion as a garrison.Between Nanyang Mansion and Guide Mansion, there may be Runing Mansion and Kaifeng Mansion, which are separated from each other.Could it be that Nanyang Mansion, Runing Mansion and Kaifeng Mansion are all in chaos?

It turned out that the garrison position that Wei Zhongxian arranged for Li Lu was completely squeezed out by Wei Zhongxian for the sake of the Duke of England.The Nanyang Mansion already had a general in charge of defense, so there was no need to arrange another defense.

However, due to Wei Zhongxian's order at that time, the Ministry of War squeezed out two counties from the east of Nanyang Mansion and designated them as Li Lu's garrison area.However, the number of Li Lu's soldiers is definitely not as good as the general defense.

In the Ming Dynasty, the garrison strength was generally between 500 and 2000.However, Li Lu's garrison force was only 800 people.

However, it was a surprise for Li Lu to get the official position of defense.His legs were already lame, and logically he could not be an official, let alone a military officer who wanted to lead troops into battle.Therefore, Li Lu no longer cares about these.

Besides, Li Lu's ambitions have been exhausted along with his disability.All he wanted was for his wife to work in this garrison official position for a few years, make a little money, and then return to the capital to retire.

Therefore, although according to the practice of the Ming Dynasty, Li Lu's soldiers can only get [-]% of the military salary after being distributed by the yamen at all levels every year.However, Li Lu saw that there was nothing wrong with his defense zone, and the surrounding defense zone was also peaceful.Therefore, Li Lu only raised three hundred soldiers who were paid [-]% of the salary, and dozens of personal soldiers who were paid [-]% of the salary as his bodyguards.The rest of the military pay was put into his own pocket by him.

In this way, he has been stable in Nanyang Mansion for more than a year. Li Lu healed up and forgot the pain. His heart started to move again.

A few days ago, Li Lu hooked up with another good family.So, two days ago, Li Lu went to that good family's house and had sex again.After finishing the work, Li Lu will leave the small town where the good family is located with these dozen of his own soldiers.

But the small town where Liang's family is located is at the junction of Nanyang Mansion and Runing Mansion.To be precise, it should be in the Runing Mansion.After all, Li Lu had left his defense zone, so he entered this town relatively sneakily.However, when he left, there was no need to cover up like this.

However, Li Lu's appearance caused a chain reaction.That town happened to be an important gathering point of rebellion for the Holy Spirit.Seeing the sudden appearance of dozens of officers and soldiers like Li Lu, those members of the Holy Spirit Society thought that their attempt to rebel had been discovered by the officers and soldiers, so they immediately rose up and wanted to kill Li Lu and others.

Li Lu and the others were caught off guard and killed several people.However, after all, they all rode horses and had certain military skills.So in the end, most of them rushed out of the encirclement.

However, after escaping from the small town, Li Lu panicked.Originally, he should go back to his defense zone.However, that small town is the only way for Li Lu to return to the defense area.Therefore, Li Lu wanted to take a detour to see if he could return to the defense zone.

But as soon as they went around the path, Li Lu and the others realized that something was wrong.Everyone seemed to be in disarray.Li Lu and the others didn't care about the southeast and northwest, so they had to flee wherever there were few rioters.

In the process of escaping, Li Lu and the others also found out that these rioters had gathered and opened up several villages in the countryside.And the marching route of these rioters was exactly the direction in which Li Lu fled.

Li Lu wanted to cry but had no tears.He thought to himself: "Isn't that just playing with a good family? You disorderly people, do you have to chase after me?"

Li Lu and the others didn't dare to go through the places where there were many rioters, and approached several nearby counties.They urged the horses to run wildly all the way, and after a few horses died of exhaustion, they finally ran to the county seat of Qi County Magistrate after a day of running.

But then again.Although Li Lu's defense area was at the easternmost point of Nanyang Mansion, and Qi County Magistrate's county seat was at the westernmost point of Guide Mansion, the distance between the two places was about the same as the distance between Qi County Magistrate's county seat and Guide Mansion.However, Li Lu could travel from Nanyang Mansion, through Runing Mansion and Kaifeng Mansion to Guide Mansion in more than a day.It shows that Li Lu, a cripple, has really top-notch escape skills.

County magistrate Qi and Wu Shigong carefully understood the situation of those rioters.Of course, Li Lu will not tell the scandal about his hooking up with a good family.However, County Magistrate Qi and Wu Shigong basically didn't get any useful information from Li Lu.

At that time, Li Lu and the others only cared about escaping.Therefore, Li Lu can only say: It is estimated that there are tens of thousands of these rioters.They were heading towards the county magistrate Qi.However, how far are they from the county seat?When will you arrive?Li Lu couldn't tell why.

After Naqi County Magistrate heard this, he scolded his mother in his heart: "Did I meet a ghost during my last year in this county? First there was a drought, and now the rioters are about to attack the county."

Both Qi County Magistrate and Wu Shigong didn't know that although the rioters organized by the Holy Spirit Society were mainly people from Runing Mansion and Kaifeng Mansion.But there is a reason for them to kill in the direction of Guide Mansion.

That's because, although few of these people in the Holy Spirit Society have military literacy.However, after all, they have been operating locally in Henan for a long time, and they know where in Henan, the army is the least and the defense is the weakest.And Guide Mansion is the most empty place in Henan.

We already know that Guide Mansion is surrounded by large army, so it seems very safe.Moreover, in the Ming Dynasty, the deployment of the army was also particular.Except for the deployment of troops in important military locations and traffic arteries, the deployment of other troops is basically near the vassal lands of various vassal kings.The main purpose of this arrangement is to prevent those princes from rebelling.

In Henan, although there are eight vassal kings, it is also the province with the most vassal kings in the country.But it is precisely the Guide Mansion, where there is no vassal king.Therefore, in Guide Mansion, except for a Guide Guard who is the local guard, there are no soldiers at all.

As for Guidewei's combat power now, everyone can imagine it from the performance of old man Zhao Ming.That is, the more than 500 soldiers stipulated by Guidewei, can they be drawn from Guidewei's military households at this moment?That is definitely impossible.

And the county seat of Qi County Magistrate happened to be on the only way for these rioters to get to Guide City.Therefore, it is no wonder that county magistrate Qi and Wu Shigong were unlucky.

When Li Lu explained the situation to the magistrate of Qi County and Wu Shigong, the local gentry who got the news rushed to the county government.Seeing that almost all the people had arrived, County Magistrate Qi thought: "There is no need to say anything, let's arrange how to defend this county first."

The yamen servants in the county yamen are very eye-catching. They have already moved the chairs and placed them on both sides of the lobby, so that the officials of the county yamen and the big figures in the county can all sit down.County magistrate Qi also sat down behind the big case.

Seeing that all these people had already sat down, County Magistrate Qi coughed twice and made the lobby quiet.He opened his mouth and said: "Every colleague and fellow villagers already know that the rioters are going to attack this county. Don't talk nonsense, I will arrange how to defend the city first."

Then, County Magistrate Qi turned his face to Wu Shigong, and ordered to Wu Shigong: "First, Wu Qianhu immediately send someone to bring all your soldiers to the county seat."
