Crazy at the end of the Ming Dynasty

The soldiers gathered the bandits and bandit family members in the house, as well as the bandits and bandit family members who were captured in other places in the village and did not escape, to the open space in front of the house.

At this time, Wu Shigong looked at these captives with a livid face.He wasn't ashamed of being crushed to the ground by the guards just now.He is deeply blaming himself.

When attacking the house just now, Wu Shigong was fully prepared.Let your own soldiers be under the protection of firecrackers and chariots before launching an attack.But because Wu Shigong underestimated the enemy, he rashly let the soldiers attack directly, so that the arrows shot by the bandits in the house knocked down several of his soldiers.Such casualties should not have occurred at all.

Looking at the gathered captives, Wu Shigong suddenly felt hatred in his heart.He narrowed his eyes.But then he closed his eyes again, shook his head, and tried to push that thought out of his head.

At the moment just now, Wu Shigong had the idea of ​​killing the prisoners.But fortunately, his sanity is still a little clear, and he knows that the consequences of killing the prisoner are really serious.

Of course, Wu Shigong didn't think that killing prisoners would be unknown, nor was he afraid that killing prisoners would be attacked and impeached by other officials.Wu Shigong felt that if he killed the prisoners himself, when he faced the enemy in the future, the enemy would no longer surrender because he had killed the prisoners before, and the losses of his soldiers would increase.

However, not retaliating at all would not be able to relieve the hatred in Wu Shigong's heart at this time.So Wu Shigong ordered: "Select all the people who used to live in this house."

Under Wu Shigong's order, the soldiers quickly selected the people who used to live in this house from the captive crowd, and drove them to one side to form a group.

There were more than thirty of them, and they were basically old and weak, women and children, and they were also relatives of Li Yaozi and his bandit leader.Because Li Yaozi and his bandit leader fled too quickly, there was no time to take their family members with them.

After these people were kicked out, they all knew that something was wrong. Some collapsed on the ground, and some knelt on the ground and kowtowed, crying and begging again and again.

"Kill them all." Wu Shigong ignored those begging voices, and directly ordered the officer He Fei nearby.

He Fei listened to Wu Shigong's order, looked at those people again, put his head in front of Wu Shigong with some doubts, and asked in a low voice: "My lord, there are still children eating milk here. Are they all killed too?" "

After hearing He Fei's words, Wu Shigong couldn't hold back the anger in his chest anymore.He slapped He Fei with his backhand, and beat He Fei in a circle.

Don't talk about cutting the weeds and eradicating the roots.Just He Fei's behavior of expressing doubts about Wu Shigong's orders just added fuel to Wu Shigong's fire at this time.

The slap Wu Shigong slapped was actually an answer, so He Fei covered his red and swollen face, staggered to the side of the soldiers surrounding these people, and issued an order.These soldiers immediately stabbed the spears in their hands...

Lei Ying on the side looked at the corpses in the pool of blood, his eyelids twitched.It's cruel.It is very rare for bandits to fight each other.In Lei Ying's heart, Wu Shigong immediately rose from the devil level to the devil king level.

But Wu Shigong didn't care at all about killing Li Yaozi and his relatives of the bandit leader.After Wu Shigong seized Li Yaozi's cottage, he and Li Yaozi have been inseparable.Now if he killed his relatives, at most he would die endlessly.The consequences haven't changed much.So, there is nothing to hesitate at all.

What follows is nothing more than some aftermath work.Why transport your own wounded back to Qianhusuo Fortress for rescue, search for loot, let these captives rebuild the gate of the cottage or something.

In the end, Wu Shigong left [-] soldiers in the cottage with the gate repaired, and asked Qian Qi to lead them.Then, after Wu Shigong left some supplies, he escorted the other trophies back to the fortress of Qianhusuo.

Before going back, Wu Shigong dispersed the captured bandits and their relatives.Wu Shigong would definitely not raise these captives again.As for how these people survived this winter, Wu Shigong didn't have the time to worry about that.

When breaking up with Lei Ying, Wu Shigong confessed to Lei Ying: "You go and inform all the big leaders in this mountain area, and let them rush to the fortress of Qianhusuo to discuss the matter in half a month. Whoever fails, his fate will be the same. It’s the same as Li Yaozi’s today.”

Lei Ying quickly agreed.

After returning to Qianhusuo Fortress, Wu Shigong went to visit the wounded soldiers immediately.Fortunately, except for one soldier who was seriously injured and was still unconscious, the other soldiers were not injured, and they could recover after a period of recuperation.

And it is intelligence that diagnoses and treats these soldiers.He not only learned Buddhism and martial arts in Shaolin Temple, but also is very proficient in the treatment of external injuries.And in order to rescue the unconscious soldier, Wu Shigong spared no expense, inviting another famous doctor from the county town for consultation, and he did not hesitate to use good medicine.

In the end, the soldier was finally pulled back from the dangerous period.However, because of the heavy injuries, that soldier basically lost his ability to work in the days to come.

So when the soldier woke up, he was very worried about his situation.This soldier was a bandit with a horse who later surrendered to Wu Shigong.In the Ming Dynasty, once a soldier became disabled, the military officer was able to give the soldier a large amount of severance pay, so it can be said that the military officer was very benevolent.

Therefore, when he saw Wu Shigong coming to visit him, the soldier looked at Wu Shigong with pitiful eyes, and begged Wu Shigong: "My lord, please don't abandon me. I will do well under my lord's hands in the future. "

Wu Shigong grabbed the soldier's hand, patted it on the palm of his own, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I will definitely support you for the rest of your life. You see, after the injury is healed, come to my house to be a steward." how is everything?"

The soldier was very excited when he heard Wu Shigong's words, he struggled to get up from the bed and saluted Wu Shigong.Wu Shigong hastily stopped the soldier's reckless move, and then said: "Now you can rest at ease to recover from your injuries, and when your injuries are healed, I will find you another marriage."

Wu Shigong's arrangement for the wounded soldier once again caused a huge sensation among all the soldiers.Especially those bandit soldiers who surrendered with their horses also increased their sense of belonging to Wu Shigong's army.

And before the new year, Wu Shigong also negotiated with the bandit masters in the mountainous area to sell the salt goods provided by Wu Shigong throughout the mountainous area.And Wu Shigong also divided this mountain area into areas, and let these big bosses be responsible for the sales of salt goods in their respective areas, so that they can also make some small fortunes.

And after receiving the news sent by Wu Shigong, Lu Jianchen also rushed over from Yangzhou on purpose.Of course, he didn't mainly discuss business with Wu Shigong, because the previous agreement was basically settled by both parties.Lu Jianchen mainly wanted to coordinate with Lu Yunhuan, give Lu Yunhuan some benefits, and determine the amount of salt to be added.

Finally, Lu Jianchen and Lu Yunhuan hosted Wu Shigong again, and at the banquet, the three formally reached an agreement on the supply of salt goods.Moreover, Lu Jianchen and Lu Yunhuan each gave Wu Shigong an annual gift.What's funny is that Lu Yunhuan actually proposed at the banquet: to give a little girl from Wu Shigong's clan as a concubine.

Of course Wu Shigong declined politely.Don't say that my three wives are still pregnant, and I can't do this kind of thing that affects their mood.Just this kind of political marriage without any emotion, as a modern person, Wu Shigong feels quite cold.He has already been a son-in-law once, so he doesn't want to harm that little girl again.

After finishing all this, Wu Shigong distributed the spoils as usual, and summed up his combat experience.In this summary, in addition to reaffirming the huge role of firecrackers, everyone felt that the power of artillery is too small. If they attack a strong city, the power of these artillery may not be enough.

Therefore, Wu Shigong specially allocated 800 taels of silver to Yang Goudan to start developing a three-pound cannon.And if the funds are insufficient, it will continue to increase in the future.

In addition, in view of the fact that there will definitely be a battle for the city in the future, Wu Shigong began to conduct training for the soldiers to attack and defend the city.And all the officers also carried out offensive and defensive exercises for the city on the map.

Unexpectedly, in this exercise on the map, the best result was actually Shumo.This kid seems to have quite a few tricks to save his life, and he is willing to use his brains on the methods to save his life.This timid person has the advantage of being timid.

Therefore, Wu Shigong officially took Shumo out of the inner house, and despite Shumo's objection, appointed him as an officer without a single soldier.As for the housekeeper of the inner house, Wu Shigong let that dog leg Chang Meng take over.

Before the new year, under the care of master Zhang Xuebin, Wu Shigong's documents and annual gifts were also handed over to the superior yamen and various officials as usual.Not even the county magistrate Yu Zilian's share was withdrawn.

The only annoying thing is that more money was sent to old man Zhao Ming, because old man Zhao Ming took another concubine.Wu Shigong complained in his heart: "This old man never gets tired once a year!"

Soon, Wu Shigong ushered in the second year of Chongzhen after happily spending the new year with his pregnant wives.
