Chapter four hundred and eighty first beat Zuo Liangyu
After hearing Wu Shigong's question, Tang Liu immediately lost his usual calmness and began to chatter. What about the tombstones in the ancestral graves being defaced by peasant rebels who defecated in the fields? What about the Tang family's property being robbed?
Ah; relatives in the family were killed, it was just something like this.
At the end, Tang Liu said: "Little Marquis! This time my Tang Liu family has been humiliated, so I decided not to do business with the Cao Gang for the time being. This time I brought more than 300 brothers to join Brother Yan.
I want to fight to the death with the bandit army. I, Tang Liu, will never give up until I avenge this deep hatred."
Wu Shigong's eyes lit up when he heard this. He cupped his hands to Yan Dingshan and said, "Brother, I have an unkind request here. Please tell me, Brother Yan, please bear with me."
Yan Dingshan quickly raised his hands and returned the greeting: "Brother, is there anything that is not easy to discuss? Brother Wu, please tell me!"
Yan Dingshan must have understood that Wu Shigong was interested in Tang Liu. And when Tang Liu first came to seek refuge with him, Yan Dingshan would definitely not refuse. After all, they all came from the same guardhouse, and there would always be more people.
OK.
But for Yan Dingshan, it would be very troublesome to arrange for Tang Liu in the future. After all, Yan Dingshan's military attache position had no vacant position, so if Wu Shigong was willing to accept it, Yan Dingshan would still be happy to see it happen.
So Wu Shigong nodded and expressed his gratitude to Yan Dingshan, and then said to Tang Liu: "Since Brother Tang wants to join the army for revenge, then our Runing Army has a good place to go."
"After I go back this time, I plan to establish an inland river navy in the Runing Army. The role of this navy is to quickly transport troops on the Huaihe River and the Yangtze River and cut off the retreat route of the Shaanxi bandits on the waterways. Soldiers and so on, our Runing Army
There are all of them, but there are few experienced boatmen."
"Brother Tang's people have been working on the water for many years. It is better to get used to working in the navy than on the shore. However, we are all brothers here, so we have to talk openly."
"The fall of Fengyang this time was due to the strong force of the Shaanxi bandits, but the fundamental reason is that the Shaanxi bandits sent out unexpected troops and caught our army by surprise. And now that Fengyang's guard posts are in ruins, it is estimated that Brother Yan led the troops
After arriving here, we will all stay behind to serve as Fengyang's defenders."
"If Brother Tang stays with Brother Yan, he will basically not encounter any fighting, and his safety can be guaranteed. But when he comes to the navy of our Runing Army, he will have to fight against Shaanxi bandits, and the risk will be greater.
A lot, so Brother Tang and your brothers need to think carefully about this."
"But I also promise here. As long as Brother Tang comes over, I will first give Brother Tang a general official title and the title of deputy commander of our Runing Army. You also know our Runing Army very well, and this official position is equivalent to
As Vice President, the salary and other benefits are quite generous. Your brothers also have the positions of General Banner and Xiaoqi. I will definitely not treat you badly."
After listening to Wu Shigong's words, Tang Liu had actually been tempted for a long time. Revenge was one of the reasons why he wanted to surrender to the army. But the future of himself and the brothers who followed him was also a very important reason. In addition, Tang Liu and Wu Shigong had a good personal relationship.
, and knowing Runing Jun’s vigorous and vigorous spirit, so Tang Liu wanted to agree immediately.
But because Tang Liu first sought refuge with Yan Dingshan, he was a little hesitant at this time, so he looked at Yan Dingshan with inquiring eyes.
Yan Dingshan immediately laughed and said: "Xiao Liu! What are you still hesitating about? Brother Wu has such good conditions here, even brother I want to go there! Brother Wu and I have no distinction between each other. Taking refuge in him is also the same as taking refuge in him.
I'm the same."
Since Yan Dingshan agreed, Tang Liu had nothing to hesitate. He immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Wu Shigong, confirming Wu Shigong's status as lord. Of course Wu Shigong accepted it calmly. This was the custom at this time in the Ming Dynasty.
Without this ceremony, both parties would feel less formal.
Of course, after the great gift, Tang Liu can no longer seek refuge with others, otherwise, he will be cast aside by the world. After Wu Shigong accepts it, he will do his best to protect Tang Liu. This is a two-party relationship.
It means solemn commitment.
After settling this important matter, Wu Shigong and Yan Dingshan chatted for a while. When bidding farewell to Yan Dingshan, Wu Shigong wrapped a thousand taels of incense silver and gave it to Yan Dingshan.
After making some false excuses, Yan Dingshan accepted it tacitly. He knew that the incense silver was not only used to burn incense in Yan Dingshan's ancestral tomb, but also to thank Yan Dingshan for bringing Tang Liu and the others to him.
Gave it to Wu Shigong.
After resting for a night, Wu Shigong led his troops into the city for a military meeting the next morning. Almost all the government offices in Fengyang City were burned down by the peasant rebels, so Zhu Dadian could only requisition a relatively complete wealthy house in the city.
The house serves as a temporary government office.
Wu Shigong arrived relatively late. After some salutes, the civil and military officers in the hall took their seats one after another. This can also be seen that in this war-torn era, the status of military attachés has been greatly improved unknowingly. Now many
When they participated in military meetings, they no longer needed to stand but had seats.
Zhu Dadian was quite polite and arranged a seat for Wu Shigong, a white lady. Although he was at the bottom of the queue, he at least recognized Wu Shigong's important role.
But of course there were people who were dissatisfied with Wu Shigong. After the salute was completed and everyone took their seats, Zuo Liangyu first attacked Wu Shigong: "Wu Runing, I really didn't expect you to come so late? The other officers and soldiers have arrived, but you are the closest one.
There is no one like you who crawls like a tortoise and is greedy for life and afraid of death, right?"
Wu Shigong immediately replied: "Commander Zuo, I really didn't expect you to come so quickly? The other officers and soldiers are fighting with the Shaanxi bandits, but you don't know where you are hiding, but you know how to find an opportunity to enter the deserted place.
Fengyang, you can’t take the credit like you do, right?”
Wu Shigong's retort immediately made Zuo Liangyu's face become angry. He immediately shouted: "Wu Runing is responsible for Fengyang's failure this time. Shaanxi thieves passed by your Runing mansion, but you were afraid of the enemy.
You have allowed Shaanxi thieves to enter Fengyang. You are guilty of a serious crime and deserve to die. I will also report to the Holy One to impeach you as a person who has caused great trouble, and it will not be an exaggeration to punish the nine tribes of you!"
Zuo Liangyu wanted to put all the blame for the fall of Fengyang on Wu Shigong. You must know that all the officials here, especially the Nanjing garrison eunuch Luo Eunuch, are all responsible for the fall of Fengyang, big and small.
If they can find a scapegoat, those officials won't mind attacking him in groups. So what Zuo Liangyu said now is quite poisonous.
The officials present also heard that there was a deep conflict between the two generals. They did not want to persuade him, but wanted to hear how Wu Shigong would argue.
But Wu Shigong's argument was quite forceful. He stood up from his chair suddenly, rushed towards Zuo Liangyu, and kicked the sitting Zuo Liangyu in the face.
Zuo Liangyu didn't expect that Wu Shigong would dare to attack here. He had no time to stand up and resist, so he had time to cross his hands to protect his face. But Wu Shigong's kick was comparable to the "World Wave". This heavy kick
Then he kicked Zuo Liangyu and knocked him upside down.
Wu Shigong then pulled out Zuo Liangyu's chair that had fallen on the ground without stopping, and smashed it down hard, causing Zuo Liangyu to scream in agony.
Only then did Zhu Dadian, Eunuch Luo and other officials react from Wu Shigong's jumping and jumping movements. Zhu Dadian immediately shouted: "Quickly pull them apart! How unethical is this! How unethical is this!"
Some of the military attachés present hurriedly came forward, and Zhu Dadian and some of Eunuch Luo's personal soldiers outside the hall also came in to help. After a lot of pulling, they finally pulled Wu Shigong away.
But even though he pulled away, Wu Shigong's mouth was still unyielding, and he cursed angrily: "You son of a bitch. Don't think that I don't know that you took money from King Zhou in Kaifeng, so you don't want to leave Kaifeng City.
If you hadn't let the Shaanxi bandits cross the river in Huaiqing, would they have gone to Guide? If my Runing army hadn't blocked the Shaanxi bandits in Guide, they would have gone south to Fengyang, and Fengyang could have been saved.
So long?"
"I have been working so hard to put out fires everywhere, but I have fallen in love with the city of Kaifeng. I will know when I see someone taking advantage of me. But my Runing was killed by Shaanxi bandits. It was all caused by you bastard. I will do it today."
I need to settle this account with you carefully."
Zhu Dadian took pictures of the major case one after another and yelled at Wu Shigong: "Wu Runing, I will report the disobedience in the hall today separately, but if you don't restrain yourself now, you will be severely punished immediately for the crime of roaring at the military camp.
Go back to your seat quickly."
So Wu Shigong returned to his seat obediently. Zhu Dadian then ordered the soldiers: "Hurry up and help General Zuo down to heal his wounds. This matter is over. If anyone dares to cause trouble in the city again, I will not hesitate to use military law."
Mr. Zuo, you are also aggrieved. Please let this matter go for now. I will seek justice from the imperial court for what happened today."
"Thank you, the Governor and Eunuch Luo!" Zuo Liangyu struggled to stand up and saluted the two of them, and then went down with the help of his own soldiers. But before leaving, he gave Wu Shigong a vicious look.
But Wu Shigong crossed his legs and looked nonchalant. If looks could kill, Wu Shigong would have died eight hundred times in his previous life.
Zhu Dadian solved the fight quickly and separated the two people in time. Moreover, Zhu Dadian also used the court and military law to suppress the two people who started fighting. Otherwise, Zuo Liangyu and Zuo Liangyu
Wu Shigong is a general who leads troops. If they had a fight in Fengyang City because of this fight, things would be really serious! (To be continued...)
