Crazy at the end of the Ming Dynasty

When Wu Shigong heard that his soldiers were confronting each other, he rushed to the scene quickly.At this time, there was already friction between the two confronting parties, and several people had already started to have physical conflicts.Fortunately, none of them lost their minds, and no one dared to take up any weapons yet.

Seeing Wu Shigong's approach, the soldiers surrounding him immediately got out of the way for Wu Shigong.Wu Shigong walked up to the soldiers who had physical conflicts, without saying a word, and without distinguishing who they were, he just punched and kicked those soldiers.

Seeing that Wu Shigong got angry, those soldiers immediately dispersed, and quickly flashed an open space among the crowd.Wu Shigong stood in the middle of the open space, panting for a while with his hands on his hips.After his emotions calmed down a bit, he pointed at the soldiers on both sides and cursed: "Are you all patient? You all know that you have done something to your brothers. I probably fed you little bastards too much. You all The strength is going to turn the sky!"

Chu Ge was on the side, aggrievedly distinguishing: "My lord, it's not that the little ones want to do something, they are really bullying people."

Wu Shigong looked at Zuge, slowed down his tone, and said, "Okay! Let's talk about what's going on today. I don't want to talk nonsense. I just want to ask my brothers: After you take refuge in me, how will you live?" Is it better or not? Have I looked at any brother differently and bullied him? Have I ever done something wrong to the brothers?"

Wu Shigong's words silenced the surrounding soldiers.Regarding Wu Shigong's behavior, those soldiers absolutely have no objection.And Wu Shigong's treatment of them can definitely be called "caring".

Wu Shigong went on to say: "I'm not going to hide anything from my brothers here. This time we go north to King Qin, we may fight with the Tartar army. In a war, people may die. Everyone is afraid of death. I am not afraid of my brothers' jokes, I am also afraid of death. "

"But if you run away because you are afraid of death, will death really not come? Why have I been training the brothers strictly? Why have I always emphasized that the brothers should be united? I just want to twist the brothers into a rope and unite together , work together to find a way to survive, and live a good life together."

"But will the way of life fall from the sky? Will a good day also fall from the sky? We are all big men, and we all have to rely on us big men to use our hands and fight with our lives."

"For those cowards who escaped, I just want to say one thing here: hunt them down to the end, hunt them down everywhere. Now we are going to King Qin, and we will ignore them for the time being, but we will not ignore them for the rest of our lives."

"To be honest, if they put down their horses and weapons and ran away empty-handed, I might just forget about it. Even the silver I used to feed the white-eyed wolf. But they ran away with their horses, weapons and The firecrackers ran away. What do they want to do? Do they want to join the enemy? Do they want to use their knives and guns against us, brothers who used to use a spoon to scoop soup with them? They are a bunch of animals."

"Here, that's all I've said. Tell every brother what I said. If anyone doesn't want to go north to serve as the king, be a coward. I won't force it. Put down his weapon and get out of here today. I promise that I will not obstruct it, and I promise that I will not settle accounts after the fall."

"But as long as those who stay today, we are brothers in the same boat. If anyone escapes in the future, I will never let him go."

Wu Shigong's words caused a commotion among the surrounding soldiers.They whispered to each other.An officer said anxiously to Wu Shigong: "My lord, those who become deserters don't use military law. That's not in line with the rules in the army!"

Wu Shigong stopped the officer's questioning, and continued: "This is also a special case. This is not an example. But if anyone wants to leave, don't worry about it. Those who know me know that there is no time to go back on the promise I made. If I say let you go, I will definitely let you go. If I say no to settle accounts after autumn, I will definitely not settle accounts after autumn."

"However, I don't want to lie to you. If anyone wants to leave, I won't pay attention to him. However, I don't care whether Commander Zhao will deal with him in the future; whether the Lord Fu Zun will deal with him in the future, I don't care. I can’t control it. Therefore, those who leave are best to take their families and flee to the end of the world.”

"But if you don't leave today, the people who stay will be my good brothers, and we will live together and die together. My ugly words are up front. If anyone leaves in the future, no matter where he escapes to, I swear that I will chase after him." Kill him to the ends of the earth."

After saying this, Wu Shigong waved his hands to both sides, and shouted: "Okay! Alright! We are all big men, so it's good to talk clearly, there is no overnight feud. Go and do your own business. Remember me If you don't, they are all your brothers, don't be suspicious like a little girl!"

After hearing Wu Shigong's words, those soldiers who came from bandits all looked at Chu Ge, and Chu Ge saluted Wu Shigong and said: "Adults have absolutely nothing to say to young people. If anyone doesn't work hard for an adult, he That is wolf-hearted. Others dare not guarantee that I, Chug, will definitely follow your lord. If there is anyone who is sorry for your lord after today, I, Chug, will definitely stand against him and light his sky lantern."

Hearing what Chu Ge said, Wu Shigong patted Chu Ge on the shoulder with a smile, and said to him: "I know you, your name is Chu Ge, and your usual training is quite good. In this way, there are many vacancies for officers now, you go to the temporary post first." A small team. You also know the rules in our army. Those who have not passed the assessment cannot be officers. This time, I hope you will show your ability to block other people's mouths and give me some face. Light. After you come back and pass the assessment, you will be formally appointed."

"Oh!" Chu Ge was overjoyed by Wu Shigong's unexpected appointment.The salaries of officers in Wu Shigong's army are quite high, and there are other benefits and dividends, which can be said to be the dream of every soldier.

But becoming an officer is not easy, especially now that the officers in Wu Shigong's army are completely taken over by the guards in the capital, basically there is no other person's share.Occasionally, a few local soldiers were promoted because of their outstanding training, but they were all from local military households and civilians.

For the bandit-born soldiers like Zug, even if the training is good, firstly, the number of officers is limited; Elephants have a glass ceiling with no chance of getting promoted.But Chu Ge didn't expect that he would get a blessing in disguise today, and in the end, he was a little bit of a success.

After Wu Shigong's words, the soldier's mood quickly stabilized.They also dispersed in twos and threes, doing what they were supposed to do under the orders of their respective officers.

And when Wu Shigong's words, especially Wu Shigong's willingness to let the soldiers leave voluntarily, passed to the ears of every soldier in the camp, all the soldiers also thought calmly.They found that even if Wu Shigong kept his promise, if they became deserters, there would be no good fruit to eat.Therefore, none of the soldiers left in the end.

After Wu Shigong stabilized the situation, he returned to his tent.He thought of the Zug who was more eye-catching just now.Wu Shigong shook his head helplessly, and thought to himself: "That Chu Ge is indeed a talent, and he naturally became the leader of the bandit-born soldiers."

However, Wu Shigong didn't want to punish and suppress Chu Ge. Of course, except for this extraordinary promotion, he would not take care of Chu Ge in the future.Zug's future path will depend on his own performance and credit.

Of course, Wu Shigong will also take necessary precautions against the small group of soldiers who were bandits.But it will not be suppressed deliberately.As long as they regard Wu Shigong as the absolute leader, Wu Shigong will not do anything to them.

In fact, this is also a helpless thing. After any group develops to a certain scale, small groups and factions will be formed inside.Even the guards that Wu Shigong brought from the capital had faintly become the two small groups of the guards of the Xue residence and the guards of the casino.

Wu Shigong can only coordinate and balance the relationship between the various small groups as much as possible.Try to let them be diverted by their own will.Because Wu Shigong's current strength is still too weak, and he can't stand a little internal friction at all.

After dinner, Wu Shigong inspected the camp again, and found that all the soldiers in the camp had also calmed down.So he called all the main officers into his tent.

After all the officers arrived, Wu Shigong first said to Zhang Biao and Li Sanhe who were ashamed because their soldiers had fled: "You are not to blame for what happened this time. This is my fault. I didn't understand Know what the soldiers think."

Then Wu Shigong looked at all the officers, and continued: "However, I also want to say a few words to you here. In the past, you were strict in training, which is what you should do. But in normal times, you are all high above the others." , I don’t know what my soldiers are doing or thinking at ordinary times.”

"In fact, these soldiers don't ask much. As long as you talk to them a few words in normal times and cover them with quilts a few times at night, they may be very grateful. You must remember, learn from this lesson, From now on, in normal life, you should care more about your soldiers and be their big brother. That way, the soldiers will be considerate to you and work hard for you."

……

The series of incidents caused by the escape of the soldiers finally subsided.
