Crazy at the end of the Ming Dynasty

When Wu Shigong was having a headache, he saw a group of military households carrying dozens of large pots of porridge, and they wanted to open the gate of the fortress of Qianhu to distribute porridge.

"What's going on?" Seeing the question marks in Wu Shigong's eyes, Xue Yongli asked these military households instead of Wu Shigong.

One of the leading military households hurried forward and said: "Speak to Lord Qianhu, Lord Li. According to the orders of the wives, let the young ones go to give the porridge again."

Wu Shigong frowned even more tightly.I thought to myself: "This group of soft-hearted girls have long hair and short knowledge. If this kind of porridge goes on, won't this group of rioters refuse to leave even more?"

However, Wu Shigong couldn't say anything in front of these military households.He waved his hand, meaning to let these military households go to give out porridge.After the leading military household received the order, he gave another salute and led the military households out of the gate of Qianhu's fortress.

Wu Shigong thought to himself: "What's the matter, let's go back to the inner house." So Wu Shigong nodded to Xue Yongli, and then walked towards the inner house.

Seeing Wu Shigong enter the inner house, a woman stepped forward and said to Wu Shigong, "Master!"

Wu Shigong was a little strange.Usually when he comes back from going out, his four wives will greet him at the gate of the inner house.But why didn't I see any of them today?Wu Shigong looked at the woman who saluted him again, and found that he didn't recognize him at all.

So Wu Shigong asked the woman, "Where are the ladies? Who are you?"

The woman said again with a blessing: "The wives are all worshiping Bodhisattvas in the Buddhist hall. The maidservant is called Chunlian. In fact, the master has seen the maidservant, but it was in the tent yesterday..." The more Chunlian talked, the redder her face became, and the louder her voice became. Say smaller.

Wu Shigong suddenly remembered that this Chunlian was the naked woman in Master Mou's tent.

That day, when Sai Zhizhi and Deng Qifan got into the carriage, Wu Shigong's guards happened to push them into the carriage where Chunlian was hiding.

It was precisely because there were three people in the carriage, and there were differences between men and women, that the carriage wobbled and was discovered by the pusher, and there were people in the carriage.

When Xue Yongli and the others dragged the three of them back to Qianhusuo Fortress, Zhizhi and Deng Qifan of course found a sturdy room and locked them up.

And this pure lotus is difficult to arrange.Xue Yongli and the others don't know what Wu Shigong is going to do with Chunlian?However, they guessed that the biggest possibility was that Wu Shigong would accept this pure lotus.So, they arranged this pure lotus into the inner house.

In the inner house, Wu Shigong and the four wives felt uncomfortable after seeing Chunlian, but they still let Chunlian stay temporarily.We have to wait for Wu Shigong to come back.

After knowing Chunlian's identity, Wu Shigong let Chunlian lead the way to the Buddhist hall in the inner house.While walking, Wu Shigong thought of Zhi Zhi and Deng Qifan who were captured by him.Wu Shigong decided: I will take a good rest today, figure out how to deal with them, and deal with them tomorrow.

This Buddhist hall was formed by a porcelain statue of Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva brought by Zhao Ruya from the capital and placed in an empty room in the inner house.Since Wu Shigong went to war, the four wives came to worship Guanyin Bodhisattva devoutly every day to bless Wu Shigong to return home safely.

When Wu Shigong entered the Buddhist hall, the four wives were chanting scriptures.After they saw Wu Shigong, they were delighted.They used their eyes to ask Wu Shigong to wait for a while until they finished reading the scriptures.

Wu Shigong waited for a while, and the four wives finally finished reading the scriptures.They all smiled and surrounded Wu Shigong.

It was Zhu Yun who spoke first: "The servants just saw these people being pitiful, so they wanted to accumulate some virtue for the children." After speaking, Zhu Yun stuck out her tongue playfully, stroked her belly with her right hand, and looked happiness like.

Wu Shigong also laughed, and he touched Zhu Yun's little head, and said, "If you do this, they won't leave."

"Then what should we do?" Li Xin asked with concern.

"It's a trivial matter." Wu Shigong replied with a face full of indifference: "The troubles caused by women are of course for men to solve. Otherwise, what do you want us men to do?"

Wu Shigong's words made the four wives laugh happily.

Zhao Ruya said: "You also come to worship Guanyin Bodhisattva. It is very effective."

Wu Shigong shook his head with a smile, and refused: "I don't really believe in these things. I won't pray now. If I believe one day in the future, I will go to worship. Sincerity leads to success."

Hearing what Wu Shigong said, Zhao Ruya stopped persuading her.Wu Shigong learned that the four wives still had a few scriptures to finish, so after greeting them, he thought about going back to his room to rest.

But just when Wu Shigong reached the door of the Buddhist hall, he stopped suddenly and looked back at the faint smoke rising from the incense burner.

Li Xin who was at the side asked with concern: "What's the matter?"

Wu Shigong didn't answer.He turned around and walked to the Buddha statue, picked up three sticks of incense from the Buddha table, lit them on the candles beside him, put his palms together, and bowed three times to Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva.Then the three sticks of incense that were lit were inserted into the incense burner.

Wu Shigong just remembered that little girl who was killed by him before they launched the farewell charge.He seemed to see the little girl's big eyes staring at the sky in a daze.

Now Wu Shigong has some regrets: he didn't need to kill this little girl at the time.He could just knock her unconscious and leave her aside.You can even ignore that little girl.Because at this time, Wu Shigong and the others were actually ready to charge.

Wu Shigong felt: At that time, I was still too impulsive.Now he can only light three sticks of incense for that little girl to bless.

When leaving the Buddhist hall, Wu Shigong sighed in his heart: "I would rather be a dog of peace than a person in troubled times!"

At this time, Wu Shigong made a decision in his heart.He immediately left the inner house and sent someone to announce to the rioters: These people can stay in Qianhusuo Fort if they want.However, those who stay will all become Wu Shigong's domestic slaves.

And those who became Wu Shigong's family slaves had to be mentally prepared, they might do heavy work, and there were no monthly rules to take.However, Wu Shigong guaranteed that they would not starve to death in this disaster year.

For those who did not want to become Wu Shigong's family slaves, Wu Shigong gave each of them a three-day ration, and asked them to disperse and return home on their own.

In addition, let these people who are willing to become Wu Shigong's family slaves count the number by themselves, and recommend ten leaders.At that time, Wu Shigong will communicate with those leaders and arrange the work of these house slaves in detail.

Moreover, Wu Shigong asked these domestic slaves who were willing to stay to organize themselves immediately, so as not to gather under the hillside and block the way in and out of the fortress of Qianhusuo.Let them go around Qianhusuo Fortress, go to the hill behind Qianhusuo Fortress, find some open space first, and build some thatched huts by themselves.

The reasons why Wu Shigong made this decision are as follows: he was a little unwilling to disappoint his four wives, and wanted to satisfy them; he was also a little soft-hearted.

But the more important reason is that Wu Shigong believes that his current manpower is still too small. If there are some slaves who only want to feed them, why not do it?

Wu Shigong didn't think at all at the time that his arrangement had actually divided his subordinates into three classes: the class of generals and soldiers formed by the guards led by Xue Yongli; The servant class composed of soldiers and those military households of Qianhusuo; and the domestic slave class composed of these captives.

And no matter what class they are, there is the word "family" in front of them, that is to say, they are all owned by Wu Shigong alone, and they can only obey orders from Wu Shigong alone.

Because of this, in fact, Wu Shigong has already taken the first step on the road of becoming a warlord.

After accepting Wu Shigong's arrangement, just as the people Wu Shigong wanted to send out were about to go out, the gate of the fortress of Qianhusuo opened again.Zhou Xun led fifty soldiers and escorted three people to look for Wu Shigong.

Zhou Xun first came to Wu Shigong, he looked at Wu Shigong, a little embarrassed.Because he did bad things with good intentions just now, which added nearly 600 people's burden to Wu Shigong's place.

Wu Shigong smiled and punched Zhou Xun's chest, and said, "That's right, a man, as it should be."

After hearing Wu Shigong's praise, Zhou Xun immediately acted like a child with a smile on his face.

Zhou Xun's capture of prisoners was just a bad thing with good intentions.But for his proactive and brave behavior, Wu Shigong would of course have to praise him greatly, so he couldn't dampen Zhou Xun's enthusiasm.

After Zhou Xun's death, the three men he escorted to the fortress of Qianhusuo also stepped forward to salute Wu Shigong.They are: a small official sent by the magistrate of Qi County, Li Lu, and the missing Jiang Guerrilla.

The little official first told Wu Shigong about the message from County Magistrate Qi to Wu Shigong: The governor of Henan learned that the reinforcements led by Eunuch Xiao to Guidefu City were defeated.Therefore, the governor of Henan organized an army near Kaifeng City and led it himself, and it was almost to Guidefu City.

After learning the news that the governor of Henan was about to arrive, the governor of Guide Mansion sent someone to notify the county magistrate Qi to let him and Wu Shigong rush to the city of Guide Mansion as soon as possible to welcome the governor of Henan together.Therefore, the county magistrate of Qi sent this little official to inform Wu Shigong, and asked Wu Shigong to bring some soldiers to escort the magistrate of Qi to Guidefu city tomorrow morning.

Of course, Wu Shigong was not qualified to participate in the ceremony of welcoming the governor of Henan at all.It's just that the governor of Henan wanted to meet Wu Shigong after learning about the situation of the Holy Spirit Society's rebellion and extermination from the messenger sent by Guidefu City on the way.

After hearing the news, Wu Shigong was very helpless.I had just returned to the Qianhusuo Fortress from Guidefu City, and I didn't expect to go to Guidefu City again before my butt was hot.

After arranging the little official to rest, Wu Shigong asked Li Lu and Jiang Guerrilla: Why did they come from?
