Crazy at the end of the Ming Dynasty

In Wu Shigong's heart at this time, the feeling of not being able to control his own destiny returned.

At that time, when Wu Shigong knew that the new emperor was Emperor Chongzhen, he experienced the mental journey of not being able to control his own destiny for the first time after time travel.

At that time, Wu Shigong was not most worried that Emperor Chongzhen would come to settle accounts with his family because of his father-in-law Xue Lian and his status as the Wei Party.He is most worried about two things: one is that Li Zicheng breaks through the capital, Emperor Chongzhen hangs himself on Meishan, and Li Zicheng kills nobles again; the other is: Wu Sangui rebelled, the Jin army entered Shanhaiguan after release, and finally the Manchus unified China. Establish the Qing Dynasty.

Because no matter which of these two events happened, the Xue family of Yangwu Hou and the Wu family of Gongshun Hou, who were resting with the court, would all be destroyed.

But Wu Shigong tried every means to leave the capital and arrived at Guide Mansion.Wu Shigong sent people out to inquire unobtrusively several times.But those people came back and reported that they had never heard of it. Among the famous people now, there are the names of "Li Zicheng" and "Wu Sangui".

But now, Wu Shigong has worked hard at Qianhu Office for nearly two years.With the complete completion of the Qianhusuo fortress, Wu Shigong raised the force of more than 2000 people, and Wu Shigong finally gained more than a little self-confidence.

In Wu Shigong's heart, relying on his own capital, Wu Shigong was finally able to save his own life and the safety of his family in the turbulent years of the late Ming Dynasty.

But what the soldier said today pulled Wu Shigong's heart into the abyss.How could the Tartars have reached the capital without Li Zicheng?How come there is no Wu Sangui, and the Tartars entered through Shanhaiguan (Wu Shigong didn't even know that the later Jin army invaded the interior without passing through Shanhaiguan)?Why did the Tartars attack the capital, it was the Jurchens and the Mongols who fought together (Wu Shigong didn’t know that the Jin army was always a coalition army composed of Manchus and Mongolia. In the later period, there were also the Han Eight Banners and the Korean vassal army of the Han people) ?

Now Wu Shigong feels like he is in a dream.Could it be that the Great Ming Dynasty that I traveled through was not the Great Ming Dynasty in history before I traveled through?

Wu Shigong who wants to be here is very unconfident.However, Wu Shigong's psychological adjustment ability is indeed very strong.He thought: "No matter what, I'd better go to Guide City first, and find old man Zhao Ming to understand the situation."

Therefore, Wu Shigong said to the soldier: "Wait a while, wait for the official to change his official robe, and then go to Fucheng together."

Seeing that Wu Shigong agreed, the soldier kneeling on the ground let out a long sigh of relief.

Wu Shigong and his guards hurried to the Guidewei yamen in Fucheng that night.After hearing the news of Wu Shigong's arrival, the old man Zhao Ming was uncharacteristically, and led the military officers from more than a thousand households of Guidewei to the gate of the yamen to welcome Wu Shigong's arrival in person.

After seeing this abnormal scene, Wu Shigong groaned secretly in his heart: "It's bad! It seems that this old man Zhao Ming wants to use my Qianhu Office as the main force."

But it was not convenient to speak at the gate of the yamen, so Wu Shigong followed Zhao Ming and others to the lobby.While walking, Wu Shigong made a decision: he will never use his own troops when discussing later.Even if it costs a lot of money, I will also spend some brave men from other thousand households.

Wu Shigong just wanted to preserve his strength.However, Wu Shigong still thought too optimistically.

After entering the hall, Zhao Ming introduced to Wu Shigong one by one the other military officers of Gui Dewei.After everyone saluted and greeted, everyone finally took their seats and began to discuss matters.

First of all, Zhao Ming said: "Some of you may already know, and some may not know. Ten days ago, the Tartars broke through the Great Wall and entered the interior. Now they may have reached the city of Beijing. The emperor is in trouble. Order the world to serve the king. And the governor and the military supervisor also ordered us to guard the virtues, asking the guard to send [-] soldiers to the capital to serve the king at a chosen date. What do you think?"

After speaking, Zhao Ming looked around.But all the military attaches were silent.Who would be an idiot at this time!

Seeing that his words were not interacted with, Zhao Ming felt a little embarrassed.No way, just roll the roll.He skipped over other military officers and asked Wu Shigong directly: "Wu Qianhu, what do you think?"

Wu Shigong became angry when he heard Zhao Ming's question.how is everything!Zhao Ming, the natives of Guidewei, want to bully me, an outsider?Wu Shigong suddenly jumped up from the chair.However, Wu Shigong would not say anything that offended his colleagues.

Wu Shigong asked back: "Commander Zhao. Why don't so many soldiers in Henan go to serve the king? Why should our military households in places like Guidewei go to serve the king?"

Zhao Ming was even more embarrassed by Wu Shigong's rhetorical question.At this time, Zhao Ming's heart was also on fire.This time Henan did not use soldiers, but used local military households to serve the king, Zhao Ming actually knew very well in his heart.

Henan is located in the Central Plains, so it is relatively safe, and there are not many soldiers.And because there are too many princes in Henan.In order to fear that those vassal kings would rebel, so many soldiers stayed behind this time to monitor the actions of those vassal kings.

Moreover, this is not only the idea of ​​the yamen at all levels in Henan, but also the direct order of Emperor Chongzhen and the court.However, the number of troops in Henan to go to King Qin cannot be small, so the military households in various guards in Henan were pushed to the foreground so unluckily.

Of course Wu Shigong didn't know such a complicated background.However, Zhao Ming was not able to explain these reasons for condemnation to Wu Shigong in public.Therefore, Zhao Ming could only change the topic and speak in an official tone.

"The emperor and the court are in trouble, and we military officers are also duty-bound to serve the king. Now the orders of the governor and the military supervisor have come to the commander, and the generals at all levels of the guard must obey. Alright, now this The commander will arrange for each of the thousand households to transfer to the number of places in King Qin's army."

With such a big hat like Zhao Ming suppressed, everyone, including Wu Shigong, fell silent.But when Zhao Ming announced that each of the other thousand households only needed to draw 220 five soldiers, and Wu Shigong's thousand households would draw [-] soldiers, Wu Shigong immediately jumped up from his chair again.

Wu Shigong thought in his heart: "It's too bullying. Even if you want to bully me, a foreigner, you can't bully me so blatantly!"

Wu Shigong shouted to Zhao Ming: "Commander Zhao. There is no negotiation! Either each family will send 300 people, or my Thousand Households Center will not send people." After saying this, Wu Shigong sat back on his chair , crossed his hands, raised Erlang's legs, and put on a look of indifference.

Wu Shigong's confrontation made Zhao Ming's face turn blue and red.And those Qianhu who were sitting next to Wu Shigong, who got cheap, all persuaded Wu Shigong one after another, saying things like "Wu Qianhu is a young hero!", "Wu Qianhu's subordinates are tiger and wolf soldiers".But Wu Shigong just ignored it, and simply said that he is not afraid of being scalded by boiling water.

In the end, Zhao Ming also lost his temper.He slapped the table and yelled at Wu Shigong: "You think this old man is bullying a brother in Weili! This is the name called directly by the Governor and the Superintendent. Not only will your cavalry be called, but you must also be called. go."

After yelling these words, Zhao Ming took out two letters from his bosom, threw them to Wu Shigong, and said, "You have a good look at it yourself!"

Zhao Ming's sudden anger was beyond Wu Shigong's expectation.He picked up the two letters on the ground with some doubts, pulled out the letter paper, and read it.

Those two letters were indeed written by the governor and the army supervisor. Wu Shigong was surprised to find that these two adults had indeed named Wu Shigong and his cavalry in the letter to join King Qin's team.

In fact, it is not surprising that this happened.The last time the Holy Spirit Society wiped out the rebellion, the fighting power of Wu Shigong and his cavalry left a deep impression on these two adults.And this time, among the King Qin's army dispatched from Henan, there must always be some troops that can be seen in the past.Otherwise, how could the governor of Henan and the supervising army of Henan be at ease?

After reading the letter, Wu Shigong was dumbfounded.Now that you've been named, let's face it.However, seeing Wu Shigong subdued, Zhao Ming suddenly changed his smiling face, and said to Wu Shigong: "Wu Qianhu, if you lead this guard's King Qin's army this time, if you have any requirements, please raise them now. If it can be done, it will be unambiguous.”

"Huh?" Wu Shigong felt something was wrong when he heard it.Why is Guidewei's King Qin army led by himself this time?Isn't Gui Dewei commander Zhao Ming leading the team?

Seeing Wu Shigong looking at him with questioning eyes, Zhao Ming coughed a few times to cover up his expression, and then said in a calm tone: "Originally this time, the commander will lead the team personally. However, Guide Mansion Someone needs to be guarding here! This commander really can't leave. Besides, this commander is getting old, and his waist and legs are not good these days. Even if he goes for a walk outside, he will be very short of breath after returning. And Wu Qianhu Young and promising, only those who can work harder!"

But Wu Shigong was still relentless, and he continued to ask: "Even if Commander Zhao doesn't go, what about these adults?"

In the guards of the Ming Dynasty, in addition to the highest commanders, there were also senior officials who commanded Tongzhi and commanded affairs, and it was the turn of these thousands of households to come later.Why did you skip the matter of commanding colleagues and commanding people all of a sudden, and went directly to Wu Shigong, a thousand households?

Wu Shigong's question made the fellow commanders Gui Dewei and his commanders blush for a while, but they also used their own old and sick reasons to evade.Zhao Ming also helped them speak again and again, and they kept praising Wu Shigong.

Seeing that Gui Dewei's superiors were indeed old men, Wu Shigong no longer pressed him too hard.However, Wu Shigong was very contemptuous in his heart.He thought: "You old men now know that you have heart disease and high blood pressure. Why don't you think about your body when you marry a concubine a year? You deserve to die in the belly of a woman in the future."

Wu Shigong considered it carefully and finally made a decision.He said: "Okay! Let me lead the team, then I will lead the team!"
