Crazy at the end of the Ming Dynasty

"Master Hou is well! I am ashamed that my child can't be filial at your knee!" Wu Shigong kowtowed to Wu Weizhong in salute.

"It doesn't matter! You are also loyal to the emperor!" Wu Weizhong, who was full of red, said helplessly, "But you have been fighting hard on the battlefield for many years, and Fei'er has not been by your side for a long time, so this time this time I chose a roommate for you. .”

"Ah!?" Wu Shigong was surprised, "But... but my son already has more than a dozen concubines."

"What did those fireworks girls of yours do?" Wu Weizhong frowned, and immediately showed his father's majesty, "This time, the Marquis chose for you a woman from a family of officials and eunuchs. She is twenty-eight years old and gentle. For your wife, pass on the blood of the Wu surname for you."

Hearing this, Wu Shigong, who had just stood up, felt his legs go limp, and almost fell to his knees again.He hurriedly told Wu Weizhong: "Master Hou! Didn't the boy visit you with Xin'er back then? You also brought her and Ying'er to visit the ancestral hall, you haven't forgotten!"

"Cough cough!" Wu Weizhong couldn't help coughing a few times. Of course he didn't forget, but now he has to forget, "It's one of your concubines and concubines visiting me! Now I'm going to choose a wife for you." .The order of your parents, do you want to disobey? You are ready to pay homage to marriage!"

"what!?"

……

Wu Shigong's prosperity will inevitably attract a group of speculators.In order to get into the core of the Runing Army, these opportunistic speculators began to cross the sea and show their talents.Among them, the most convenient, the most economical, and the effect may be the best is to form an in-law.Who gave Wu Shigong a "lusty" reputation in the outside world?

However, the Runing Army is a very introverted group, and Wu Shigong jumped up too fast, so when these speculators wanted to "show their supernatural powers", they were surprised to find that it was very difficult to find anyone who could talk to Wu Shigong relation.

In fact, in the real situation, Wu Shigong...ahem...it should be admitted that he is indeed a bit lustful.For example: Chang Qiu, a shopkeeper of a foreign descendant of the Chang family.He gave Wu Shigong a beauty, Wu Shigong saw that Chang Liuqin looked good, so he accepted it.But the key problem now is that those speculators can't find a way to send beauties, and they don't have such luck as Chang Qiu.

In addition, Wu Shigong is now busy with the government and military affairs of the Runing Army, and has no interest in searching for beauties, because this kind of thing is no longer difficult for Wu Shigong, and he has no intention of challenging.Therefore, Wu Shigong couldn't control the affairs of Xue Chenglin's kid.There are parents-in-law Xue Lian and Mrs. Zhang who are worried about it, but Wu Shigong flatly refuses to propose marriage to him.

All of a sudden, the difficulty of drilling and speculation has been raised to the level of sss.Many people shrink back because of this, but there are always some people who don't believe in evil.Some people are even willing to spend a lot of money to open the door.

The Luo family is such a family.They were originally Huguang gentry families, because several generations have successively served as officials through imperial examinations.Therefore, the entire family has long established a "branch" in the capital.And it has also taken root in the capital.

Because it has been in business for nearly a hundred years, it goes without saying that the descendants of the Luo family, a big family, have formed a network of old and new disciples, and the entire family has also accumulated a huge amount of wealth.And there is only one rule for the big clan to survive in troubled times, and that is to bet on multiple parties.Therefore, Wu Shigong's Runing Army also became a betting target for them.

As for ordinary bettors, they may admit that the Runing Army is a new group.But they are not very optimistic about their real strength, so when encountering difficulties, these bettors are not willing to spend a lot of money.

The Keluo family is different.They are the natives of Huguang, and they know the real strength of the Runing Army better.therefore.The Luo family will never let go of Wu Shigong, the betting object.For the Luo family, it would cost tens of thousands of taels of silver plus a woman from the clan to buy insurance.But if Wu Shigong is missed, then the whole family....

So the Luo family began to mobilize their relationship network with all their might.Not surprisingly, they contacted Wu Shigong's father, Wu Weizhong.And Wu Weizhong is very...true, after a wave of Golden Bullet offensive, Wu Weizhong immediately agreed to this marriage.And Wu Weizhong was still secretly happy, this son was born well!Even "married" can "marry" twice.Without Wu Shigong's knowledge, his father Wu Weizhong sold him out again.

So now there's a situation that's really weird.Outsiders often know Wu Shigong and his Runing Army better, but his father Wu Weizhong doesn't know much, and he always thinks that Wu Shigong is still the bastard who is submissive.

So in the end, there was no way for Wu Shigong to argue with his father who was dazzled by money.Coupled with his father Wu Weizhong's big hat of "unfilial piety", Wu Shigong finally gave up resistance.Anyway, he was giving the woman to him, and he was not at a disadvantage, so in the end Wu Shigong ran away after acquiescing.

"Side! You said that the money my old man got should be more generous than the dowry of Miss Luo's family!" Afterwards, Wu Shigong and Zhou Junwu started a family routine.

But Zhou Junwu couldn't help but laugh at these words.He laughed and said, "My lord! You have to be careful!"

Wu Shigong was also amused, "Don't call me 'Master' all the time, just call me Chang Jing when chatting privately!"

"Okay! Brother Chang Jing, in fact, the Luo family has a place to use in the officialdom. What our Runing Army lacks now is someone who can speak in the court, so you will suffer a bit and marry Miss Luo's family." This can also make up for the shortcomings of our Runing Army, and this can be considered a good marriage." Zhou Junwu spoke from the perspective of the Runing Army as a whole.

"Okay! You guys can sell me too!" Wu Shigong half-jokingly said, "It seems that my marriage is a good thing, and I can marry a regular wife several times. In fact, the matter of the Luo family is also very important. That's it, it's no problem to let them fight with Hongdingbai, but if something happens to our Runing Army, it's good that they don't make trouble. It's just a loss of a woman!"

"That being said, it's better than not even having a relationship with a red-topped white person." Zhou Junwu said.

"That's true!" Wu Shigong nodded, and said, "I don't think too much about it, the matter has come to this point, it's useless to think about it too much. If the Luo family lady is more beautiful, then I will bear it so easily!"

"Hahaha! Has Chang Jing met Miss Luo?" Zhou Junwu asked.

"It's really annoying, but it's not!" Wu Shigong looked depressed, "Everyone has been sent to Tongzhou, and they said it will take a few auspicious days to get married. I really don't know what to do?"

"Hahaha——!" After laughing for a while, Zhou Junwu put away his smile and asked Wu Shigong, "Brother Changjing! The student dares to ask you: what should Mrs. Li and the second son do? Once the lady comes, it will be even more chaotic."

"Grandma!" Wu Shigong had thought through this question long ago, "Let's fool around in front of my old man first, and when we return to Runing, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, so we can do whatever we want. I won't be sorry for Xin'er of."

Zhou Junwu nodded and said: "That's all we have to do, our Runing Army can't stand any more trouble!"

"Yes! So, the ancients said: Three wives and four concubines. Seven or eight wives and concubines are enough. No matter how many, it will only disturb people."

"Hahaha--!"

On the second day of March, under the auspices of his father Wu Weizhong, Wu Shigong and Miss Luo Qingjun got married.The day before, Wu Shigong also brought Chang Liuqin in.

On March [-]th, the Runing army finally waited until the river thawed, collected all the ships, and began to return to Runing.At the same time, Wu Shigong received two battle reports from Liaodong and Henan one after another.

In Liaodong: On the night of February [-], Xia Chengde, the deputy general under Hong Chengchou, secretly surrendered to the Manchu Qing as an internal response.He led the Qing soldiers to board Songshan City.There was chaos in the city, and several generals ran for their lives, but none of them escaped, and they were all captured.

In addition to Hong Chengchou and Zu Dale captured by the Qing army to Shengjing, the other captured governors Qiu Minyang, general soldiers Cao Bianjiao, Wang Tingchen, soldiers Beidao Zhang Dou, Yao Gong, Wang Zhizhen, and deputy generals Jiang Zhu, Yao Xun, Zhu Wende and others, together with more than [-] guards and soldiers, were all executed on the spot.Songshan City was also demolished by the Qing army and razed to the ground.

The fall of Songshan also made Jinzhou's defenders lose their last hope. In addition, the city once again fell into a situation of food shortage and cannibalism, and the Ming army guarding Jinzhou no longer had the intention to stick to it.On the eighth day of March, Zu Dashou Kaicheng surrendered to the Qing Dynasty for the second time, and Jinzhou finally fell into the hands of the Qing army.

Later, on the ninth day of April, the Qing army bombarded Tashan with red cannons, annihilating more than [-] defenders in the city.Most of the Ming army in the city surrendered.

On the 21st, Xingshan was bombarded, and more than [-] Ming defenders surrendered.In just over two months, all four cities north of Ningyuan fell into the hands of the Qing army.So far, the Songjin Battle, which lasted nearly a year, ended in a disastrous defeat for the Ming Dynasty.

In this battle, Yang Guozhu's family was the most miserable.Except for Yang Guozhu who died in the battle in Songshan, his two sons died in the battle of losing the four cities.The widow of Yang Guozhu, He Shi, presented the armor, bow, arrows and 53 war horses to the various dynasties.Emperor Chongzhen sighed deeply.But at this time, even having such a loyal minister and good general will not be able to save the overall situation.

Just like Wu Shigong expected the worst outcome.Due to the hesitation of Emperor Chongzhen and the imperial court, the Ming Dynasty lost not only the Ming troops in Jinzhou and Songshan, which were besieged, but also the [-] Ming troops in the two cities of Tashan and Songshan.And the Qing Dynasty got Jinzhou.After the surrender of [-] Ming troops in Tashan and Songshan, they immediately selected elites to supplement the Han army banner and Sanshun Wang Han army, which made the strength of the Qing army leap forward.

After this battle, the elite of the Ming Dynasty's frontier defense in Liaodong was almost lost, and Shanhaiguan became more isolated and empty.The Ming Dynasty had completely lost the ability to contend with the Qing army on the front line of Shanhaiguan. How to defend against the Qing army's invasion of Guanmen in the future has become a difficult problem that cannot be solved at all. (To be continued..)
