As an area controlled by the Runing Army, Guide Prefecture can of course require the Runing Army to give priority to ensuring its safety. But this time, if we just look at the results, the Runing Army has definitely not fulfilled its responsibilities. Although this situation
It can be explained, but the local gentry in Guide Prefecture will have some complaints against the Runing Army.
Wu Shigong's words at least gave those gentry another goal to vent their anger, and they would have less complaints against the Runing Army. Of course, there are also the Runing Army's own considerations.
In this battle with the peasant rebel army, the full strength of the Runing Army has actually surfaced. The previous strategy of keeping a low profile and biding time can no longer be implemented.
And Emperor Chongzhen and the big bosses in the DPRK knew that with the powerful army of Runing Army, in the critical situation, they would definitely let the Runing Army fight in the north and south, and squeeze the Runing Army dry, and they would not do it at all.
To consider the healthy development of Runing Army, this is what Wu Shigong is most worried about.
For this reason, Wu Shigong could use the reason that the damage in this battle was too great to delay for a while, but no matter how much he delayed, he could not delay it for fifteen years, so Wu Shigong had to find another way to find a way for Runing's army to recuperate.
But what he said now in public immediately made the conflict between Wu Shigong, Governor Xuanmo and Commander-in-Chief Zuo Liangyu public. In this way, if the imperial court mobilizes the Runing army through Governor Xuanmo in the future, Wu Shigong
It is perfectly possible to follow orders but not listen. Because there is a deep conflict between them, this can easily lead to another wrangling lawsuit, which also makes the Runing Army unwilling to accept the transfer of the imperial court.
Wu Shigong's only loss may be that Xuanmo no longer allocates food and salary to the Runing Army and lets Wu Shigong wear small shoes in officialdom. But the Runing Army can't get much food and salary now, and Wu Shigong himself is now being beaten to the end, so this
The loss was no threat to Wu Shigong.
So it can be said that Wu Shigong has always believed that a man's constant complaining is a sign of his own incompetence, but Wu Shigong himself can also complain. But he always has other purposes for complaining.
But Wu Shigong's complaints had already made Zhou Junwu anxious. As the representative of Governor Xuan Mo, although Zhou Junwu could not interrupt just now out of etiquette, he had long wanted to refute.
After Wu Shigong finally finished speaking, Zhou Junwu immediately retorted: "What Brother Chang Jing said is wrong! How did you know that the governor did not send troops to fight against the Shaanxi thieves? How did you know that General Zuo was not for the safety of Kaifeng?
, had no choice but to neglect the defense of the Yellow River? On the contrary, the students looked at Brother Jing and trapped a large number of Shaanxi thieves in Ruzhou, but inexplicably let him go and came here to return to Germany. How should we defend this truth? "
Zhou Junwu didn't know that his words had offended everyone here. All the officials here, young and old, were in Guide Mansion, and the Runing Army came here to rescue Guide Mansion. Let these officials
Considering the overall situation and giving up the small family for everyone? Then save it! So Zhou Junwu really still needs to practice more in the officialdom.
However, Wu Shigong's counterattack was even sharper. He shouted: "Then let me make it clear to you! To the south of Guide Mansion is Fengyang Mansion. Do you dare to say that Fengyang Mansion is not important? It is because of the governor's random command.
As a result, my Runing army can only take care of one end. Now Runan is also in an undefended situation. If the Shaanxi bandits enter Fengyang through Runan, I would like to see how the governor will report to the Holy Lord.
Where’s the explanation?”
These words were so loud that they made Zhou Junwu speechless. Who dares to say that the emperor's hometown and ancestral tombs are not important? This was the top priority in the politics of the Ming Dynasty!
But the civil servants here are okay, because they are all floating officials. The family property is not in Guide Mansion, but local military attachés like Zhao Ming have quit their jobs. This time the peasant rebel army is raging in Guide Mansion, and they are outside the city.
The industry has suffered heavy losses, so I hate the people who caused this situation even more.
So Zhao Ming immediately spoke up and said, "You can't rely on anyone! The local kids are the most trustworthy!"
When Mr. Hou saw this situation, it was about to escalate into a denunciation meeting against Governor Xuanmo. So he spoke slowly and said: "Chang Jing, we will discuss the future in the future. Now the Shaanxi thieves are still circling in the north of Guide. Look,
What should we do?”
As soon as these words came out, everyone here pricked up their ears. In fact, they all hoped that the Runing Army would drive the peasant rebels far away, and were afraid that Wu Shigong would abandon them now and lead the Runing Army back to Runing Mansion.
.
"Tai Gong, I came to Guide with my son and son to completely eliminate the Shaanxi bandits' ravages on Guide. So far, more than 30,000 Shaanxi bandits have been defeated and nine dragons of the bandit chiefs have been killed. Of course, this is also in your hands.
A great victory achieved through careful planning."
As soon as Wu Shigong said these words, the scene immediately became happy, because these officials all knew that Wu Shigong wanted to share the credit with everyone.
"But despite this, the Shaanxi bandits in northern Guide are still powerful. It is definitely impossible to eradicate them. They can only send gifts out of the country. And it also needs the cooperation of other officials and soldiers. Otherwise, it will still be in vain.
many."
Hearing what Wu Shigong said, Magistrate Qian immediately asked the question he was most concerned about: "Mr. Wu, are you saying that if the Shaanxi thieves don't leave for a day, our troops will never leave and return to Germany?"
Wu Shigong nodded and replied: "That's right!"
All the officials present heaved a sigh of relief. Magistrate Qian then asked: "How much more local supply does the Nerbei need?"
Since the Runing Army sacrificed its own defense of the Runing Mansion, the Guide Mansion should also be interested in the Runing Army.
Unexpectedly, Wu Shigong's answer was not greedy at all: "The Guide place is in dilapidated condition this time, and I can't bear to increase the burden on the place. As long as Lord Fu Zun supplies enough food and grass for the Runing army, and sends more doctors, the hospital can take good care of you."
Ning’s army has wounded soldiers, but the rest are not needed.”
In fact, Wu Shigong, who led the main force of the Runing Army to aid Guide Mansion, was not prepared to go back in a short time. He also had three considerations:
The first point is of course to make a gesture of attaching importance to the places where people return to virtue, and to give those local gentry peace of mind;
The second point is that the Runing Army headquarters also has sufficient defense forces, which can at least fully support the return of the Runing Army;
The third point is the most important. We must take advantage of this opportunity to eliminate more of the main forces of the peasant rebel army. If we can eliminate one and the other, it will also put the Runing Army in a relatively advantageous position in future battles with the peasant rebel army.
situation.
Therefore, even if Magistrate Qian did not persuade him to stay, Wu Shigong was prepared to let the Runing army stay in Guide Prefecture. As for the possible threat from Zhang Xianzhong's troops to the Runan area, it can only be ignored for the time being. It is not necessarily necessary to fight for the possible threat.
Give up on the real enemy in front of you.
As for the offer by Magistrate Qian to provide the Runing Army with protection money for Guide Mansion, Wu Shigong did not want to take it. Originally, the protection money was not much, and the Runing Army had already sold it to the local gentry.
Then why bother letting them dig into their pockets and feel grudge?
But after hearing Wu Shigong's polite refusal, Mr. Hou on the side immediately said: "Although Chang Jing is polite, you also need a reward. So be it! I will take out two thousand silver coins, and the rest of the virtuous people will add three thousand more, and we will return."
The hearts and minds of the German people!"
Wu Shigong quickly wanted to decline again, but suddenly he saw the faces of the officials present were full of joy. He suddenly understood that there was a reason for collecting military rewards, and those officials also had a reason to plunder more money from the people.
Although he had good intentions and wanted not to increase the burden on Guide Mansion, he unknowingly blocked the financial path of those officials. Wu Shigong couldn't help but admire Mr. Hou: "This ginger is still very spicy!
"
In this case, of course Wu Shigong was not polite. He immediately saluted Mrs. Hou and Magistrate Qian and said, "Then I am ashamed to receive it."
The banquet that night was a joyful one. The only person who felt a little uncomfortable was Yu Zilian, who was afraid that Wu Shigong would criticize him at any time.
And Zhou Junwu was not uncomfortable at all. Although he was invited to the banquet, he had no face to attend, so he huddled in the bed and covered his head and fell asleep. Now Zhou Junwu just wants to return to Governor Xuanmo's house as soon as possible.
