When the main officials in the Henan officialdom learned that the mastermind behind these incidents was Runing Mansion guard Wu Shigong, they certainly would not waste words with Wu Shigong, and they immediately used coercive measures against Wu Shigong.
In ordinary people's minds, when encountering this kind of thing, both parties must sit down and talk first. If they can't reach an agreement, they will take other measures.
But many people don’t understand that the two parties in this negotiation must first have equal status. At least the status should not be too different, or the weaker party must be valuable. Otherwise, no matter how reasonable you are, the other party will use force.
If they suppress you and refuse to negotiate and reason with you, what can you do?
Take a look at the modern United States. The Korean War and the Vietnam War should be negotiated if they cannot be defeated. If they are defeated, then look at the examples of Afghanistan and Iraq.
This is true in real life as well. We often see people around us who overestimate their abilities and seem confident enough to negotiate with their boss, but the boss refuses to reason with them and simply fires them.
Let’s give an example.
So the civil servants in Henan see Wu Shigong's situation like this now. Needless to say, he is a noble man and a lowly military man. In the eyes of the civil servants, Wu Shigong's official position and everything in the Runing Camp are now in their hands. If they make a move
Wu Shigong didn't even have any room to struggle, so how could Wu Shigong not be obedient?
Besides, it is true that these civil servants cannot remove Wu Shigong from his post, but if they report to the central government and demand that Wu Shigong be removed from his post, then the central government will definitely respect their opinions. And under this threat, what else can Wu Shigong stir up?
Woolen cloth?
Therefore, the Henan Governor's Yamen immediately issued an official document to Guan Kesong, the magistrate of Runing Prefecture, asking Guan Kesong to urge Wu Shigong to go to the expedition immediately. Otherwise, Wu Shigong would be deprived of his garrison official position and become a white man.
When Guan Kesong received this official document, he was very happy. Wu Shigong's Runing camp was showing off its power in Runing Mansion. As the prefect, Guan Kesong had long been displeased. This time he had such an opportunity.
After beating Wu Shigong, if we can gain some benefits from the extremely wealthy Runing Ying, it would be a real pleasure!
But Guan Kesong never expected that he sent someone to ask Wu Shigong to come to the Runing Prefecture magistrate's office for discussion, but Wu Shigong ignored Guan Kesong at all, and asked the person who sent the letter to reply with two words to Guan Kesong: "No!"
Isn't this going against the grain? Guan Kesong immediately became furious and wanted to send someone to catch Wu Shigong in front of him. Fortunately, Guan Kesong's master immediately said something and calmed down Guan Kesong: "My boss, this
Wu garrison has a lot of troops in Runing Fucheng! If we use force, we will suffer anyway."
"In the final analysis, the matter of the Runing camp's expedition is not the fault of my boss. There is no need to cause trouble. My boss should have a good talk with Wu Shoubei. It would be fine if there is a reason that can be explained to the superiors.
It’s over.”
The master's words obviously convinced Guan Kesong. So the master diplomacy started again. Guan Kesong's master hosted a banquet and invited Wu Shigong's master Zhang Xuebin.
There is no need to detail the details of the banquet, but at the end, Zhang Xuebin made a final statement to Guan Kesong's master: "Our Lord Guards said: This disobedience is disrespectful, and the worst result is to be dismissed from office. But our Lord Guards
If you lose your official position, others will not feel better either. Anyway, both sides will suffer losses, which is better than our garrison officers losing their lives in Liaodong."
"This matter of sending troops is not non-negotiable. However, we, the guards, feel uncomfortable right now. You have to do something to make us, the guards, feel at ease."
Guan Kesong's master immediately went back and reported the situation to Guan Kesong. They analyzed Zhang Xuebin's words and understood that Wu Shigong was not unwilling to send troops this time, but that he had resentment in his heart and wanted to get some benefits to compensate for it.
The losses caused by one's own troops.
However, Guan Kesong and his master did not understand the meaning of Wu Shigong's words "both sides suffer". Because if Wu Shigong did not send troops and lost his official position, Guan Kesong would have no responsibility and would not suffer any loss. But
Since Wu Shigong said this, other officials must be unlucky. Guan Kesong was not interested in knowing the details of his boss, so he immediately sent someone to report the situation to the Henan Governor's Yamen.
For outsiders, Wu Shigong's words are indeed difficult to understand, because the Ministry of War only asked Henan to send three thousand troops, and did not ask the Runing Battalion to go out by name.
After the Governor of Henan has designated the Runing Battalion to go on an expedition, if the Runing Battalion disobeys orders and shows disrespect, the Governor of Henan will at most replace a soldier and go on the expedition, and then find the Runing Battalion to settle the scores. This kind of thing cannot be said to be justified.
Both sides suffered losses, and it was Runingying and Wu Shigong who suffered.
But what's the inside story of this matter? If Wu Shigong didn't go to war, he would definitely have no good fruits to eat. But the dream of the governor of Henan and the dream of entering the central center ended there.
Moreover, Wu Shigong is no longer afraid of losing his official position. The imperial court can remove Wu Shigong from his garrison position, but it cannot prohibit Wu Shigong from still living in Henan.
As long as Wu Shigong still controls the force and financial resources of his subordinates, there will be no problem if he hangs around for two or three years. At most, he can turn those soldiers into his own servants. In the Ming Dynasty, no noble family has tens of thousands of servants.
Yes?
Two or three years later, when the world is in chaos, Wu Shigong's force can be used legitimately. Maybe the court still needs his force and will reinstate Wu Shigong.
Therefore, the current Wu Shigong is basically a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water, and he is completely strong without desires. On the contrary, the governor of Henan is soft when he has desires. At this time, the two sides started to play psychological warfare and began to play games with each other.
Therefore, when Guan Kesong reported Wu Shigong's attitude to the governor of Henan, the governor of Henan was a little embarrassed. After thinking about it carefully, he found that he could not do anything to Wu Shigong, a martial artist.
The other officials in Henan are also experienced. When they also learned about Wu Shigong's attitude, especially the words "both sides suffer", and contacted the governor of Henan who asked the Runing Battalion to go out, they immediately
I stood aside and watched. It is better not to touch wet hands with flour.
Now, the Governor of Henan is fighting alone. Of course, as the top official in Henan's officialdom, the Governor of Henan's official authority is also very strong. He wants to press Wu Shigong again and make Wu Shigong surrender obediently.
So the governor of Henan immediately sent people to the Jinyiwei Qianhu in Henan and asked the Jinyiwei Qianhu in Henan to send a few Jinyiwei to capture the disobedient guard Wu Shigong and bring him to the Henan governor's Yamen for training.
What the governor of Henan did not expect was that Henan Jinyiwei Qianhu rejected the request of the Henan governor. According to the rules, Jinyiwei, as the emperor's personal army, only obeys the emperor's orders and does not obey the orders of local officials. Therefore, Henan Jinyiwei Qianhu
The rejection is also reasonable.
But under normal circumstances, the Jinyiwei will be satisfied to carry out the orders of the local governor, as long as it is not a big deal. Therefore, this refusal was quite unexpected by the Henan governor.
What the governor of Henan didn't know was that when his order was sent to the Qianhu of Jinyiwei, Li Pengfei, a member of the Jinyiwei 100th household, said to his Qianhu: "Master Qianhu, you may not know who Wu Shoubei is. We were
I worked with him in Nancheng, Beijing. He is also a man with evil intentions. If our brother passes by, once Wu Shoubei knows that we are going to arrest him, he may cause our brother to die of a sudden illness on the spot.
The sky is high and the road is far away, who can our brothers turn to to complain?"
"Wu Shoubei is the son of a Marquis. He will go back to the capital when the time comes. Do we still have the guts to rush into the Marquis's mansion and catch him? Even Commander Luo is not willing to get involved in such a troublesome matter!"
Therefore, the Governor of Henan did not get help from the Jin Yiwei. But now, the Governor of Henan was a little bit in trouble. It was his staff, Mr. Ling, who solved the problem for the Governor of Henan: "Sir, let Wansheng go to Runing Mansion and talk to Wu Shoubei
Let's have a good talk. As long as he sends troops, he can agree to any request first. What the warrior wants in his heart is nothing more than money. Anyway, it is the money and food of the court, so it is not a big deal to give some to the warrior. Still.
