Crazy at the end of the Ming Dynasty

After returning to the fortress of Qianhusuo the next night, Wu Shigong gathered all the leaders for an overnight meeting to discuss and make arrangements for his expedition.

At the beginning of the meeting, when Wu Shigong announced that Xue Yongli would be fully responsible for the internal and external affairs of the Qianhusuo Fortress during his expedition.Wu Shigong's decision was strongly opposed by Xue Yongli himself.He insisted on going out with Wu Shigong to fulfill his responsibility to protect Wu Shigong's safety.

For this reason, Wu Shigong tried his best to persuade Xue Yongli for a long time.Wu Shigong told Xue Yongli: Now in this Thousand Households Center, only Wu Shigong and Xue Yongli have prestige and ability to become leaders.

And this time to Qin Wang, Wu Shigong definitely couldn't be absent because of the roll call.If Xue Yongli also accompanied Wu Shigong on the expedition, in case something unexpected happens here, there will be no one who can be the backbone and make decisions here.

You know, the current Qianhusuo is no longer the one that was only responsible for farming.There are so many workshops, there are escorts for two commercial routes, and there are sales of salt goods.

Moreover, Wu Shigong definitely wanted to bring most of his main force to King Qin. In this case, the number of soldiers staying in the fortress of Qianhusuo would be greatly reduced.

But without such a strong deterrent of force, basically all of them have surrendered to Wu Shigong now, whether the bandits in the northern mountainous area of ​​Runing Mansion and those remaining bandits in Guide Mansion will be obedient is a question mark.

Therefore, in the fortress of Qianhusuo, there must be a strong person with strong military command ability to lead the remaining soldiers.And now under Wu Shigong, only Xue Yongli is qualified for this position.In any case, it is impossible for Wu Shigong to give up the base of Qianhusuo Fortress.

After hearing Wu Shigong's reasons, Xue Yongli reluctantly agreed to Wu Shigong's arrangement.However, Xue Yongli insisted: Let Wu Shigong bring almost all the cavalry, most of the infantry, and most of the firearms to ensure Wu Shigong's safety.

It was finally decided that Wu Shigong would bring 350 cavalry and [-] infantry with him on this expedition.In addition, Wu Shigong will also bring [-] medium and heavy guns, as well as two Francois cannons and two three-pound cannons.

In order to strengthen the defense of the fortress of Qianhusuo, Wu Shigong will send 300 soldiers from the militia in the county to the fortress of Qianhusuo. The military households who had received military training went to the Qianhusuo Fortress.With the strengthening of such [-] people, the defense problem of Qianhusuo Fortress can basically be solved.

Wu Shigong did not dare to draw soldiers from the former Li Yaozi's cottage occupied by Qian Qi in the mountainous area in the north of Runing Mansion.If it weren't for the lack of manpower, the current Wu Shigong even wanted to strengthen the troops in that cottage.He wanted to prevent all possible moves of those bandits.

In the end, Wu Shigong also arranged for Zhang Xuebin, Zheng Zhen and Yuan Xingshan to manage the internal affairs and business affairs of the Thousand Households.Wu Shigong set a principle for them: during the period when Wu Shigong left the Qianhu Office, let Zhang Xuebin and the others just handle the affairs according to the rules set before.If you encounter any problems, try to delay as much as possible, don't intensify any conflicts, and wait for Wu Shigong to come back to discuss everything.

After the discussion was over and everyone was about to disperse, Wu Shigong called out to Zhizhi and Deng Qifan: "Monk, Suanding, you two stay here for a while, I have something to say to you."

Deng Qifan and Zhizhi stayed here for more than a year. Although Wu Shigong also prohibited them from traveling, they were only allowed to move around the fortress of Qianhusuo, and they were not allowed to send any letters or messages. Wu Shigong came here to inquire about the two of them, but Wu Shigong also pretended not to know.However, because the two of them are also very knowledgeable and have an easy-going personality, the two of them get along well with everyone in Qianhusuo.

But even so, these two people fell into the nest of Wu Shigong, a rough man, and they must have nicknamed those rough men.Deng Qifan's nickname is "Sour Ding". Because of the influence of the palace secret recipe incident, although he maintained his virginity, he still gave him the nickname "Hua Monk".Therefore, Wu Shigong called Zhizhi a "monk" today, and he has accumulated some morals.

Seeing that the others had left, Wu Shigong continued to say to these two people: "You two have stayed with me for more than a year. I don't want to talk about the past, who is right and who is wrong, and who is right and wrong. . Still, I think we got along pretty well."

"And this time I'm going to King Qin of the capital. I don't know what's going on, so there's no need to force the two of you to stay. If I offended you in the past, I'll apologize to you here. Tomorrow I'll make arrangements and send the two of you home." After speaking, Wu Shigong stood up and bowed his hands to Chih-chih and Deng Qifan.

Seeing Wu Shigong salute, Zhizhi and Deng Qifan quickly returned the salute.Zhizhi clasped his hands together, and said first: "Amitabha! My lord, the soldiers will definitely suffer casualties this time. The little monk also knows some techniques of distorting yellow. If the lord doesn't dislike it, how about being a little monk in King Qin's team?"

Deng Qifan went on to say: "My generation study is to fight the world with the sword. How can I sleep peacefully at home when the Tartars are poisoning the people? I am not talented, and I am willing to let the adults lead the horse. Knowing that they can fight in the battlefield, the students even wrote poems. First: Early capture..."

"Stop! Stop!" Wu Shigong stopped Deng Qifan's impassionedness with a quick smile, and then jokingly said: "Master Suan Ding, Lord Juren, please spare me. I know your determination. But if you want to speak, please Speak Mandarin? Don't be so sour, it will kill me with sourness."

Deng Qifan also laughed.He also jokingly replied: "My lord, everything else is fine, but he is a bit ignorant. But the student has a question, what does Mandarin mean? Is it the vernacular spoken by Bai Ding?"

…………

The three people in the room were laughing and laughing.

The wives in the inner house had already heard the news that Wu Shigong was going to go to war this time.Therefore, when Wu Shigong returned to the inner house, none of his four wives slept.Seeing his wives suppressing the worries in their hearts and forcing smiles at him, Wu Shigong felt a little helpless in his heart.

Wu Shigong had no choice but to comfort his wives constantly.After constant rhetoric and assurances, Wu Shigong finally survived this difficult night.

Because the soldiers who accompanied Wu Shigong on the expedition this time all lived in the barracks of Qianhusuo Fortress, so it was very convenient for Wu Shigong to gather all the soldiers on the second day.

After giving these soldiers a period of time to say goodbye to their families in a hurry, Wu Shigong led the more than 1000 soldiers and set off to Guidefu City to gather with soldiers drawn from other thousand households.

But when he was about to leave, Zhou Xun, the leader of the militia in the county, hurried to the fortress of Qianhusuo to find Wu Shigong and asked Wu Shigong to go out together.

After Zhou Xun arrived at Qianhu, he did not win any battles except for the order to set off firecrackers on the walls of the county town when the Holy Spirit Society rebelled, and later captured some prisoners. He just kept training. There are new recruits.This made Zhou Xun, who had a strong belligerent factor, feel a little unbearable.Therefore, after learning that Wu Shigong was going to set off this time, Zhou Xun clamored to set off together.

In view of Zhou Xun's feelings of heroism and war romance are still very strong, Wu Shigong also satisfied Zhou Xun's request.Let Zhou Xun lead all the infantry and set off together.
