Wu Shigong slowly woke up from a coma. He had a severe headache. It took him a while to finally calm down. Just as he was about to sit up, he suddenly felt a "boom" in his mind, something suddenly exploded, and then there was a blank.
, the body collapsed involuntarily again. In the daze, Wu Shigong felt that his mind seemed to be invaded by the thoughts and memories of strangers, and many pictures and memories passed through his mind...
He is not dead? Or he is already dead, and his soul has traveled to the body of a man named Wu Shigong in the Ming Dynasty. But no matter what, it would be good to be alive, or to be reincarnated as a human being. It seems that there are always surprises in life.
!Wu Shigong couldn't help but feel a little proud.
Wu Shigong couldn't help but want to cheer loudly, but he felt that he couldn't find any words to express his joy. If he had to find a word, it would be that sentence: Thank God for giving me a chance to be a new person! However, these words always say
It makes people feel a little awkward.
In his previous life, Wu Shigong was a gang boss. At that time, he was on the run with a brother named Qin Bai. Unexpectedly, Qin Bai was an undercover agent. In desperation, Wu Shigong faced the police's hail of bullets and rushed over...
Wu Shigong closed his eyes and searched hard for the information in his mind. After a while, he opened his eyes in surprise. There was too little information about the time-traveled Wu Shigong. "Did God just be so kind as to give me a blank sheet?"
Paper, let me make the most beautiful and gorgeous pictures?" Wu Shigong couldn't help but thought mockingly.
It should be said that Wu Shigong traveled through time pretty well. In this life, Wu Shigong was born in a distinguished family in the capital city, which is now Beijing (there were two capital cities in the Ming Dynasty: Beijing and Nanjing). It was the Gongshun Hou Wu family. But there was a fly in the ointment.
It was because he was just a concubine, which is what the saying goes: he was raised by a little wife. And Wu Shigong really lived like he was raised by a little wife.
Because he had to recite the family tree every year for ancestor worship, Wu Shigong knew the history of the Wu family of Gongshun Hou by heart. However, as a wealthy family that has been in the same family for generations, the Wu family of Gongshun Hou did have a glorious history.
It’s boring to mention ancient myths and legends, and there’s nothing interesting to mention about the ancient ancestors’ bragging about standing guard for Genghis Khan. Why do we say Genghis Khan? Of course it’s because the ancestors of the Gongshun Hou Wu family are Mongolians. In fact, it can be seen from the title of the title,
The Wu family were the leaders of ethnic minority tribes who submitted to the Ming Dynasty.
The ancestor of the first generation of the Wu family who submitted to the Ming Dynasty, his name was Badu Timur. It is a very strange and long name. If any modern author uses this name as the protagonist to write a novel, it will definitely be legal from the starting point.
He defrauded a lot of royalties.
This Mongolian man, Timur, saw that the Yuan Dynasty was exhausted, and the Ming Dynasty was so domineering that he knew the current affairs and submitted to Ming Chengzu Zhu Di.
Mu'er changed his Han name to Wu Yuncheng, which is how the Wu family came. After that, Wu Yuncheng could be said to be loyal to the Ming Dynasty throughout his life, and made great contributions to the peace of the Ming Dynasty's borders. He was canonized by Zhu Di, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, as an earl that will never be replaced for generations.
——Uncle Gongshun.
Then came the Tumubao Incident. At that time, Wu Yuncheng was dead, and his son Wu Kezhong (Sijue), his brother Wu Keqin, and nephew Wu Jin accompanied Ming Yingzong, who was deceived by Wang Zhen, the first notorious eunuch of the Ming Dynasty, to lead the expedition himself.
The Ming army suffered a disastrous defeat at Tumubao and the army broke up and fled.
But at this time, Wu Kezhong, Wu Keqin and Wu Jin became bloody Mongolian men. For the sake of the motherland and the people, they resolutely accepted the rearguard mission of narrow escape and blocked the Mongolian army with the same culture and species. Wu Kezhong and Wu Keqin were unfortunate one after another.
He died in battle. Fortunately, Wu Jin escaped after being captured and had the same demeanor as Li Guang. Because Wu Kezhong had no children, Wu Jin succeeded him. Because of the Wu family's outstanding performance and great sacrifice, he was named a respectful marquis.
But Wu Jin's luck seemed to have run out. Wu Jin was given the important task of guarding the gate of the imperial palace (now the Forbidden City) because of the trust of Ming Yingzong, and was in charge of the key to the palace gate. But a notorious eunuch, Wang Zhen, fell.
(He was killed by a Ming Dynasty general during the Tumubao Incident. Yes! That’s right! He was a Ming Dynasty general, not a Mongolian). Another notorious eunuch, Cao Jixiang, stood up. It seemed that Ming Yingzong had attracted the notorious
Outstanding eunuch potential.
Cao Jixiang and his godson Cao Qin wanted to rebel. Because they were related to Wu Jin, Cao Qin told Wu Jin about the rebellion in advance and asked Wu Jin to help him open the palace gate. But after hearing the news, Wu Jin
There was no time to report to Ming Yingzong. At this time, Wu Jin's Mongolian man's bloody spirit came back. For the sake of the motherland and the people, he resolutely led only five or six cavalry to fight against the rebels, and died gloriously.
The Gongshun Hou Wu family also truly gained the trust of the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty because of the many contributions of generations before and after them. Of course, because the Wu family was Mongolian and had a special status, in order to protect them (that is, a euphemism for guarding against them), the Wu family
The family no longer guarded the frontier, settled down in the capital, and lived a happy and peaceful life.
After several generations of pampering, intermarriage among nobles, and cultural upbringing, by Wu Shigong's generation, not to mention that the Mongolian blood was almost completely diluted. In terms of appearance and daily behavior, there was almost no trace of Mongolians in the Wu family.
Of course, all the swords, horses, spears and bows were put down, and the Four Books and Five Classics were picked up.
In particular, the title of Marquis Gongshun was passed to Wu Shigong and his father Wu Weizhong. Although the Wu family still held the position of Governor of the Imperial Army, in addition to raising some soldiers at home and collecting some horses and armor (this was all the honors of the Ming Dynasty).
(Noble tradition), the family has achieved a gorgeous transformation from a military aristocrat to a scholarly family.
Wu Weizhong, the Gongshun Hou of this generation, has two things that he is most proud of. One is that he has many children. Unlike the current promotion of only children, having many children and grandchildren at that time was a sign of the prosperity of the family. By the way, Wu Shigong was his fourteenth son.
A son, which would have been the fourteenth elder brother in the Qing Dynasty. He also had several younger brothers and nearly twenty daughters. Although the survival rate of children in ancient times was low, Wu Weizhong had more than thirty surviving children;
The other is that his family education is very good, especially many of his sons have become talented. Basically all the sons have the title of scholar. There are even three candidates. The most glorious thing is that his eldest son, Xiaohouye Wu Shixun, is a Jinshi. To be sure
You know, it is not difficult for a noble family to open the back door and get the reputation of a scholar, but the title of a candidate or a Jinshi depends on real ability. Especially among the dandy children of the noble family who were born into wealth, it seems
