Crazy at the end of the Ming Dynasty

After defeating, or driving away those Mongolian soldiers, under Qin Liangyu's arrangement, the white-armed soldiers were divided into several teams and began to eliminate the remnants of the nearby enemies.Of course, Wu Shigong's army also started camping and cooking.

Experts stretch out their hands to know if there is one.Qin Liangyu and Wu Shigong marched all the way.In fact, she has been observing Wu Shigong's army.She found that Wu Shigong's army, whether it was marching or setting up camp, was doing quite well.Especially the physical fitness of the soldiers and their ability to complete civil engineering made Qin Liangyu, who traveled all over the country and met almost all Ming troops, feel that Wu Shigong's army was indeed first-class.

If there is any shortcoming, it is that this army has relatively little actual combat experience.Also, their leader, that brat Wu Shigong is more afraid of death, he only knows how to defend, not to take the initiative to attack.This made Qin Liangyu very regretful: "Why is such a good army not mine, but stuck like a flower on Wu Shigong's pile of cow dung?"

Therefore, in the battle with the Mongolian army, Qin Liangyu still put Wu Shigong's army on the left with confidence.During the battle, Qin Liangyu observed that Wu Shigong's army had lined up in a square formation and attacked forward.Although their attack speed is relatively slow, the actions of these soldiers are well-founded.

Qin Liangyu estimated that if his white soldiers fought alone with Wu Shigong's army, it would be basically impossible for them to be defeated by Wu Shigong's army.But if he wanted to defeat Wu Shigong's army, he would have to pay a considerable price, and even hurt the white-armed soldiers.

I would like to explain here that Qin Liangyu still underestimated the combat effectiveness of Wu Shigong's army because he did not fully understand the effect of using firearms on a large scale.

But Qin Liangyu also knew that it was impossible to forcibly incorporate Wu Shigong's army.She observed that those soldiers under Wu Shigong treated Wu Shigong with absolute obedience and respect.Therefore, unless Wu Shigong himself was incorporated into his account, otherwise, it would be impossible to recruit these soldiers.

But it is even more impossible to incorporate Wu Shigong into his account.Although Wu Shigong is now only a small thousand households, Qin Liangyu now has more than 20 military officers with thousands of households or more than one thousand households under his account.However, the strength of the army controlled by Wu Shigong has greatly exceeded the strength that a thousand households should control.

First of all, Wu Shigong's army reached 2000 people.That's all.But looking at the weapons and firearms of Wu Shigong's army, and looking at the supplies and supplies of Wu Shigong's army, we can see that Wu Shigong's army is quite rich.Qin Liangyu asked himself, even if he was the chieftain of Shizhu, he could be said to be the emperor of Shizhu, but it was quite difficult to support an army like Wu Shigong.

Besides, Wu Shigong is a member of Marquis Yangwu's mansion after all, and this rotten ship also has a three-point nail. Forcibly using force to incorporate Wu Shigong's army may cause both sides to lose.

Also, Qin Liangyu could see that Wu Shigong was not a guy who would be willing to be subordinate to others, if he had a good discussion with Wu Shigong, Wu Shigong would never agree to himself.Unless you go to the emperor to ask for an edict.But in that case, the twisted melon will not be sweet, and it doesn't make much sense.

However, since this brat Wu Shigong fell into his own hands this time, Qin Liangyu planned to squeeze this brat Wu Shigong well, at least let Wu Shigong do his best for Qin Liangyu in the process of becoming king this time.

If the current Wu Shigong knew what Qin Liangyu was thinking, he would definitely be able to run as far as he wanted.But at this moment, Wu Shigong was happily chatting with his officers.

As the second-in-command of the army, Wu Shigong's deputy, Qianhu Yu Ji, was flattering Wu Shigong: "My lord, thanks to your wisdom! This journey has brought our sons of Guidewei back safely without any danger. The capital city. We also killed two Tartars, now we Guidewei will be able to explain to the higher authorities!"

Wu Shigong was very comfortable being flattered by Yu Ji, he smiled "haha", but still said modestly: "Just two tartars, it's not a big deal."

Yu Ji quickly replied: "My lord, don't believe it. Those who come to the capital to serve the king this time will be good if they can have the heads of Tartars. We have two heads. Not to mention outstanding, the military merits must also be outstanding." It's excellent."

"Oh?" Yu Ji's words aroused Wu Shigong's curiosity, so he killed two Tartars, is that considered outstanding military exploits?When I killed people in my previous life, sometimes I killed more than two people. Is this still a war?

Yu Ji's next words answered Wu Shigong's question.Because the Ming army at this time, because of the several defeats of the Ming army in the past, did not dare to fight the Houjin army at all, and could only passively defend the attack of the Houjin army in the city.

However, during the city defense battle, even if the Tartar soldiers were killed, it was impossible to go outside the city to collect the heads of the Tartars, and the court used the heads to determine military merits. Therefore, the two pieces in Wu Shigong's hands now A Tartar head is definitely a rarity.

After understanding the truth, Wu Shigong even laughed "haha".After laughing, he said: "We should be high-spirited and upright when we return to the German Guard! Don't compete with your allies for military merits, but stay in the capital to protect the safety of the emperor! When the crisis in the capital is resolved, we will go home safely. .”

Wu Shigong's words made the officers around him understand, this is to be stationed in the capital, why don't you take the initiative to fight with the Hou Jin army.

Wu Shigong's army settled down peacefully outside the southern city.In the next few days, Wu Shigong's cavalry also cooperated with the white-armed soldiers sent by Qin Liangyu to mop up the Tartar soldiers scattered nearby.It was a small gain, and got a few heads of Tartars.

Wu Shigong felt that the head of the Tartar should be enough, but he still didn't want his military achievements to be too conspicuous in front of Emperor Chongzhen.Therefore, Wu Shigong let his cavalry, and gave up all the heads of Tartars he obtained in the future to the white soldiers.This move has greatly harmonized the relationship between the two armies.

After Qin Liangyu arrived in the capital, he communicated several times with the official documents of the Ministry of War.In the end, the court acquiesced to Qin Liangyu and Wu Shigong's army camping outside the southern city.Moreover, a batch of food and grass was hung down for the two armies from the wall of the southern city.

On this day, Qin Liangyu summoned all the military officers under his account, including Wu Shigong, to discuss the matter.Qin Liangyu, dressed in military uniform, sat behind the big case and said: "There is an order from the imperial court. Governor Sun convened an official meeting in the Tongzhou camp. I will rush to Tongzhou tomorrow with Vice President Ma and will leave for a while. And these God, under the orders of the soldiers, the nearby Tartars have basically been wiped out. But you can't relax, you must ensure the safety of the capital."

All the military officers clasped their fists in promise.Then, Qin Liangyu arranged for another deputy commander of the Baigan soldiers to take charge of the command of the army after she left.

After Qin Liangyu left with Ma Xianglin, Wu Shigong felt like the sky was flying high.Besides, the nearby Tartars were almost wiped out, so on this day, he led a group of officers and some guards under him to the south city wall.I want to miss those years when I fought in the Nancheng Military and Horse Command.

According to the rules of the Ming Dynasty, Wu Shigong and the others were definitely not allowed to enter the capital, so Wu Shigong just strolled along the city wall, bragging about his great achievements in Nancheng with the officers around him.

Just as Wu Shigong was bragging, a soldier on the city wall suddenly shouted: "Commander Wu! Is this Commander Wu?"

Wu Shigong quickly raised his head to see that the man he knew was a soldier of the Nancheng Military and Horse Command Department.Although the soldiers standing on the city wall are mainly soldiers from the Beijing camp, there are also quite a few soldiers drawn from the soldiers and horses.

Wu Shigong was very happy to meet an acquaintance, he smiled and waved to the soldier.

After the soldier saw clearly that it was Wu Shigong, he exclaimed in surprise: "It's really Commander Wu, come and see it! Commander Wu is back!"

All the soldiers of the Nancheng Bingma Division on the city wall, after hearing the soldier's shout, lay on the crenels of the city wall and looked towards Wu Shigong.Some soldiers of the Beijing camp also looked at Wu Shigong curiously, and asked the soldiers of the soldiers and horses around him about Wu Shigong's origin.

During this period of time, the Tartars had been active under the city wall. Although the Tartars did not attack the capital, the soldiers guarding the city wall were always frightened.

And a few days ago, Qin Liangyu's army finally defeated the Tartars and set up a large camp outside the south city. These soldiers could finally sleep peacefully.Thus, they are particularly passionate about saving their troops.Therefore, following Wu Shigong's wave of hands, the soldiers cheered like heroes.

Listening to the bursts of cheers, the pores all over Wu Shigong's body opened comfortably.The feeling of being a hero is really memorable!

After cheering for a while, a military officer suddenly shouted excitedly on the city wall: "Xun'er, is that you?" Wu Shigong took a closer look, and it was Zhou Shikun.

Zhou Xun, who was behind Wu Shigong, jumped off his horse excitedly, knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Zhou Shikun, "Father! It's me."

Then there was a touching scene of father and son meeting.At the end, Zhou Shikun called out to Zhou Xun: "Xuner, wait a moment, I'll send someone to call your mother over."

Zhou Shikun's words immediately reminded those military officers who used to live in the capital, and they entrusted the soldiers on the city wall to deliver messages.Of course, someone had already sent a letter to Xue Lian in Yangwuhou's mansion.

However, during the waiting period, Zhou Shikun suddenly called out to Zhou Xun: "Xun'er, your wife has been married for more than a year, this time you will bring her back when you return to Henan."

People like Wu Shigong who know the inside story, of course know that that is Zhou Xun's ugly daughter-in-law who escaped marriage.Seeing Zhou Xun's embarrassing appearance, they all laughed happily.
