Chapter 395: The same big camp as the vegetable market
Wu Shigong thought with some confusion: How come this Ming army's bandit suppression camp turned into a vegetable market? So he looked over from a distance and saw Li Lu and a military attache wearing a military officer's robes.
There was a quarrel, so he asked Zhao Ming, "Who is that person?"
"Oh, it's Nanyang General Sun Wei. In the past few days, Sun Shen has been at odds with Li Guoji." Zhao Ming replied.
"What's going on?" Wu Shigong became more interested.
"Isn't it because Nanyang Mansion is too small? There are two war barracks in this small mansion. If Li Youzhi eats more, General Sun Shen will eat less. The two of them are so unhappy."
Wu Shigong also laughed when he thought about it. The total number of soldiers set by the Ministry of War in Henan was just over 20,000. Since Nanyang Prefecture is located at the intersection of several provinces, a staff general was set up and the number of soldiers was rated at 4,000.
Five hundred men were heavily garrisoned.
But later Wei Zhongxian intervened, and Li Lu's garrison came in. In addition to being allocated garrison sites in two counties, he was also allocated 1,200 troops from General Sun Shen. General Sun Shen had already suffered the loss of being mute.
But this was not over yet. After annihilating the Holy Spirit Society rebellious people, Li Lu added another 600 troops. After the great victory in Ruzhou, Li Lu was promoted to a guerrilla, and he wanted to establish a guerrilla camp with 3,000 troops.
.
This is interesting. If Li Lu's troops were transferred from General Sun Shen, then there would be 3,000 soldiers stationed in two counties in Nanyang Prefecture, but there would only be one general stationed in the entire Nanyang Prefecture.
There are 1,500 people, no wonder Sun Shen will go crazy!
Li Lu was also clearly aware of Wu Shigong's arrival, and his back straightened a lot. So after arguing for a few more words, Li Lu turned away and left Sun Shenjiang on bad terms.
Seeing Li Lu coming with his soldiers, Wu Shigong said with a smile: "Li Guoqi is so majestic! I want to salute you here!" After saying this, Wu Shigong pretended to salute Li Lu.
Li Lu immediately stopped Wu Shigong's movement with a smile. He laughed and scolded: "Brother-in-law! Don't you know how I came to be a guerrilla? Don't look down on me!" Then Li Lu smiled and hit Zhou Xun, who was saluting the old commander.
A hello.
Of course Wu Shigong stopped pretending to Li Lu and asked, "How many people did you bring this time?"
"I scraped together five hundred." Li Lu had nothing to hide from Wu Shigong, "But I also spent a lot of money this time! I gave them all the horses, and I even asked that Yang Goudan of yours
I bought a batch of armors and weapons. But brother-in-law, Yang Goudan is too much of a bastard! Are you asking such a cruel price to squeeze both my brother and me?"
Wu Shigong rolled his eyes at Li Lu: "It's good if I'm willing to sell it to you! To be honest, no matter if you take the money to buy armor and weapons at the ordnance warehouse in South Beijing City, can you buy such good armor and weapons? At such a price?
Is it cheap? You know, our Runing army doesn’t have enough armor and weapons of its own, and what Yang Goudan gives you is all from my approval. Don’t be dissatisfied!"
"Okay! Okay!" Li Lu smiled and raised his hands in surrender, "I understand, you and Yang Goudan are both profiteers. Anyway, this is the last time. Any future wars here will be up to you.
Come on. Who asked me to marry my sister to you?"
Wu Shigong burst out laughing, thinking that Li Lu didn't raise his chin when speaking. If his father-in-law Xue Lian heard this, he would immediately give Li Lu a big mouth. But Wu Shigong also knew that Li Lu was joking. So.
Pointing at Li Lu and Zhao Ming, he joked: "Look at you two, you both have the same virtue. You hide behind me when you hear a battle, but you are still the hero of Ruzhou's great victory."
"Those who are capable work hard! Those who are capable work hard!" Zhao Ming also joked from the side. The three of them chatted happily.
Then, guerrilla Chen Zhongzhi and guard Jiang Cheng, who worked with Wu Shigong to put down the Denglai Rebellion, also came over. After building friendship with each other, they discussed the issue of mutual assistance.
Chen Zhongzhi brought 1,100 people this time. Jiang Cheng brought more than 600 people. They were in a very subordinate position in the entire bandit-suppression army, so it was natural to join forces with Wu Shigong.
That night, before turning off the lights, Wu Shigong visited some military attachés like Cao Wenzhao whom he had met during the battle to recapture the four cities of Yongping. After that, Wu Shigong went to bed early and waited for the military meeting of Governor Chen Qiyu tomorrow.
At the beginning of the military meeting the next day, all the previous procedures were normal. Anyway, there was a long nod, and then Chen Qiyu made a nonsense opening statement. Anyway, Wu Shigong, the commander-in-chief, became a small role among the military attachés in the entire Chinese military account.
So he was happy to hide in the corner and make soy sauce.
But Wu Shigong didn't notice that he was making soy sauce. Governor Chen Qiyu glanced at Wu Shigong's soy sauce bottle several times. Chen Qiyu also wondered in his heart, could it be that this rich and ignorant Dusi who was absent-minded in the Chinese military tent also had such a good military?
Vision?
The military discussion finally got to the point. In front of a map hanging in the Chinese military tent, an aide of Governor Chen Qiyu began to explain in detail the strategy of suppressing bandits formulated by Chen Qiyu.
At this point, everything was normal. After the staff member finished explaining, it was time for discussion in the military meeting. There was no other content, it was just a discussion about which Ming army should be stationed where, and which Ming army should pursue and suppress the bandits.
In fact, there is no problem in assigning tasks. Guest troops such as Cao Wenzhao and Zuo Liangyu basically pursue and suppress bandits, while the local Ming troops in Henan are basically stationed in the local area. The reason why Chen Qiyu let the military attache
We discuss it with them, just to let them express their determination, and then Chen Qiyu will assign tasks.
But what is surprising is that before the discussion was over, Governor Chen Qiyu suddenly asked: "Li Guoji, Commander Zhao, and Wu Dusi, the three of you are a powerful army that won the great victory in Ruzhou! This time the governor will have to rely on you a lot.
You guys!"
Xuan Mo, the governor of Henan, who was sitting aside, pondered for a while, then stroked his beard and said: "Since Governor Chen is so optimistic about the three of them, then the three of you should be ready! Remember! You must cherish the people!"
If we go out to suppress the bandits this time, some local officers and soldiers from Henan will have to be sent out. Xuanmo, the military attache with background, doesn't want to offend, so the ones originally scheduled to go out are fringe military attachés like Chen Zhongzhi and Jiang Cheng. But since Governor Chen Qiyu saw that
If the troops of Wu Shigong and three others were defeated, then Xuanmo would follow suit. Of course, due to Li Bingbeidao's impeachment memorial, the troops of Wu Shigong and three others had a bad reputation among the Ming Dynasty court and the local officials in Henan, so Xuanmo
Also let them pay attention.
People are really afraid of being famous, and pigs are afraid of being strong! However, Zhao Ming's title as the King of Gossip is indeed well-deserved. During yesterday's chat, Zhao Ming had already obtained information from Chen Qiyu's cronies.
They told Wu Shigong, so the three of them were mentally prepared for the expedition.
But at this time, the behavior of Wu Shigong and the others was a little strange. Just now, Chen Qiyu called these three people according to their official titles in the Ming Dynasty. Now, they should answer in the order of their names.
As for Li Lu and Zhao Ming, they looked at me and I looked at you, but remained silent. On the contrary, Wu Shigong spoke first without hesitation: "Your order!"
Chen Qiyu was taken aback by this behavior that was not in line with official rules. However, he didn't worry too much. Seeing that it was Wu Shigong who spoke, Chen Qiyu got what he wanted.
So Chen Qiyu then asked: "How many soldiers did each of your three divisions come to this time?"
Li Lu and Zhao Ming still didn't speak. What three units? Apart from the personal soldiers, there was only one unit of the Runing Army. How should Li Lu and Zhao Ming answer?
But when Wu Shigong heard this, he knew that Governor Chen Qiyu was making trouble, because this was completely knowing what he was asking. When they entered the camp yesterday, the Runing Army led by Wu Shigong had already been counted by military supplies as to the number of people entering the camp, and Chen Qiyu, as the commander,
How could you not know?
But when Wu Shigong thought about it carefully, he didn't know where he had offended Chen Qiyu. Today was the first time Wu Shigong and Chen Qiyu met. In the past, one was in Henan and the other was in Shaanxi.
Did something go wrong?
Puzzled for a moment, Wu Shigong could only answer more carefully: "I'm reporting to the Governor. Our three troops have arrived with a total of 1,500 regular soldiers and 1,000 auxiliary soldiers."
Seeing that it was Wu Shigong who came forward to answer, Chen Qiyu took a closer look, and suddenly he realized that these three departments were all listening to the orders of the chief minister in front of him!
Chen Qiyu was a little angry. As a governor with a literary background, Chen Qiyu also paid special attention to etiquette. Although he also knew that Wu Shigong and the three ministries were in an alliance, at least he, as the governor, must be included in today's Central Military Accountant discussions.
Are you trying to show off in front of your lord? And the Dusi in front of you is too ignorant.
Then Chen Qiyu sternly scolded: "The guerrilla battalion of Li Guoji is rated at 3,000 people, the Runing camp of Wu Dusi is rated at 2,200 people, and Guidewei also has more than 5,000 military households. The governor also understands this.
You leave some soldiers to garrison in the local area, but this time you should send out five thousand troops. But now you only send out one thousand and five regular soldiers. How can you take the governor's transfer order seriously?"
At this time, Li Lu and Zhao Ming were dead pigs who were not afraid of being scalded by boiling water anyway, so they remained silent, watching Wu Shigong's actions and only Wu Shigong followed suit.
According to the rules, when the governor gets angry, the military attache who was scolded should kneel down and apologize. But Wu Shigong's temper also rose. There were so many military attaches in the military tent who were short of pay and soldiers, so why did he
Is this Governor going to keep an eye on me?
So Wu Shigong did not kneel down at all, and replied ****ly: "We and other three troops have been short of food and clothing, and our military pay has not been paid for several years. Originally, many soldiers fled. But this time after the Ruzhou War, there were a large number of casualties.
, there are more vacancies, and there is no pension to recruit new soldiers. This time when I came to Shaanxi Province, I shamelessly borrowed some food and salary from the prefect Guan, otherwise, even these people would not be able to come."
Wu Shigong's words suddenly made Li Bingbeidao jump up. (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
