Chapter five hundred and twentieth the end of a happy life
But seeing that Wu Shigong always had the upper hand, Yu Zilian was finally angry, so he had to put forward his own conditions no matter what: "Then I also have something I want Vice General Wu to agree to!"
"Oh?" Wu Shigong was also a little surprised. Could it be that Yu Zilian didn't know who was helping whom? So he asked: "Yu Zhizhou, please tell me!"
"Everything else is up to you! But there is one thing that is different. Those who surrender are all landless people. Except for the stubborn ones, they will be severely punished. The rest of the people hope that they will be inspired by the emperor's favor. I do not agree with Vice General Wu's decision. Please.
Let those who surrender choose their own camp!"
Wu Shigong glanced at Yu Zilian and understood that what Yu Zilian said before was all nonsense. The key was what happened after that, which was that Yu Zilian wanted to select more prisoners and expand the strength of the Ruzhou Army again.
Wu Shigong didn't care about this, because during the period of peace, the Runing army captured enough prisoners, but Wu Shigong would not let Yu Zilian pick all the strong ones, and instead put the burden on his own Runing army. So Wu Shigong
He replied: "Yes! But we can only let the strong and the strong choose themselves, and the old and the weak will be divided according to the proportion of the strong and strong."
Wu Shigong secretly smiled that Yu Zilian would definitely steal chickens and lose rice. Although the prisoners captured by Wu Shigong were all used as serfs and mining slaves, after all, they lived a stable life and would not starve to death. Only those with brains would choose Yu Zilian's
Where is the Ruzhou Army?
But Wu Shigong never expected that it was not the prisoners who were distracted, but himself. After the meeting, Yu Zilian sent people to the prisoner camp to mobilize, and all the prisoners joined the Ruzhou Army.
Wu Shigong definitely didn't know that his reputation was different from the inside and outside. In addition, the prisoners who didn't understand the Runing Army always believed in civilian officials, and the soldiers of the Ruzhou Army promoted their beloved Yu Zhizhou, so the Runing Army, which did not do much publicity, became
No prisoners were captured at all. When Yu Zilian sent the old and weak prisoners back to Ruzhou, and selected the strong and strong ones to reorganize them, he actually raised another 8,000 troops.
Wu Shigong was stunned with surprise. He was too embarrassed to break his promise, so he could only watch the Ruzhou Army regain its strength. Wu Shigong couldn't help but wonder: Was Yu Zilian's previous life a cockroach?
At this time, Lu Xiangsheng had succeeded as the governor of five provinces, and the new governor of Henan, Li Xianfeng, had also taken office. When they learned that such a large gap had opened in the border of Henan, they immediately led the Tianxiong Army and the main force of Henan to block the gap.
But these matters have nothing to do with Wu Shigong and Yu Zilian. After all, one of them is stationed in Runing, and the other is the magistrate of Ruzhou, so they must first ensure the tranquility of their own area.
Therefore, after cleaning up the battlefield and reporting the battle, the two armies did not pursue the defeated Ma Shouying troops who fled to the west. They returned together and went home separately. Wu Shigong also took the lead and led his own troops on August 20.
Return to Runing in three days.
This time, the Runing Army will leave behind the rotation training regiments when passing through Ye County. Later, new rotation training troops will be transferred from each army to replace the troops that have already been rotated to form a new rotation training regiment.
Zhou Xun will also rush to Ye County to unified command the troops in Ye County. Wu Shigong will not go out often in the future. He must train his generals' independent command capabilities.
After returning home, Wu Shigong first took stock of what he had gained. It should be said that it greatly exceeded the previous estimate. What made Wu Shigong even more happy was that the business of the Runing Army headquarters was also booming, and the current income had begun to exceed the expenses of the Runing Army.
Sales. And Runingjun finally had hematopoietic function, which made Wu Shigong finally no longer worry about financial problems.
In order to prevent unrest in the house, Wu Shigong was very clean this time. He refused the beautiful woman selected for him by his officers from among the prisoners. But just like this, Wu Shigong also encountered troubles. His housekeeper Liu Yuan was punished by Deng Qifan.
Twenty beatings with the rod.
What's the reason? Of course it's because Wu Shigong is hiding his love for Mother Li's golden house! In fact, Wu Shigong's actions outside the house, although he thought he did it very covertly, had already spread throughout the inner house. It's just that the ladies pretended to be deaf in front of Wu Shigong.
Just being dumb.
But as soon as Wu Shigong left, Wu Shigong's wives took action. Through the guards in the inner house, they spread the news to Deng Qifan intentionally or unintentionally.
Deng Qifan was immediately furious, not entirely because of Wu Shigong's affair, but most importantly for Wu Shigong's safety.
You know, the place where Wu Shigong and Li’s mother had a tryst was in Runing Mansion City, and there was no effective protection from the Runing Army. And Li’s mother often brought some outside women to Wu Shigong to try out. If an assassin was mixed in, what would happen to you?
Ning Jun's injuries were absolutely fatal.
At this time, the Runing Army was no longer Wu Shigong's private property, but the common cause of all the upper-level civil and military officials of the Runing Army. Therefore, Deng Qifan also changed his practice of not interfering in Wu Shigong's personal affairs and immediately ordered the house to be sealed and closed.
They found a room in the Runing Army camp to accommodate Mother Li.
In order to tactfully admonish Wu Shigong, Deng Qifan also punished the "culprit" housekeeper Liu Yuan. But Liu Yuan was so unjust! He didn't know anything about Wu Shigong and Li's mother, so he was spanked unjustly.
But there is no reason to explain. If the master makes a mistake, of course the servant must be punished. As the head servant of Wu Shigong's house, Liu Yuan... let's just consider Liu Yuan unlucky!
Deng Qifan also ordered Wu Shigong's bodyguards not to allow Wu Shigong to go out to flirt with women, and he even remonstrated with Wu Shigong in person when he returned. Because Deng Qifan also had good intentions, in the end, Wu Shigong had no choice but to agree.
The happy life of picking wild flowers ended in such a short and brilliant life!
Wu Shigong's return this time was also because the Runing Army had some urgent matters that Wu Shigong needed to deal with.
The first is that the futures exchange has opened. Because we don’t know what the futures does, the business of the futures exchange is quite deserted.
So Wu Shigong ordered the owners of each farming village to gather all the farming households and pool funds for grain futures trading to stabilize the income of farming households and prevent farmers from being harmed by low prices, poor supply, and other reasons.
This is actually the original intention of futures trading. However, modern futures trading has almost forgotten this function, and they all use huge leverage to speculate and obtain huge profits.
Then the news about Zheng Zhilong finally came back. Because the deadline had expired, Zhang Rubao and the others had returned to Runing. Together with Zheng Jiao and Shopkeeper Zheng, they were waiting for Wu Shigong's return.
Zhang Rubao's affairs were easy to handle. After Wu Shigong announced to his face that he was appointed as the commander of the Navy and the commander of the Marine Corps, he took the returned personnel to Xinyang to take up the post.
The most complicated thing is to discuss with Zheng Jiao about Zheng Zhilong's borrowing of troops. (To be continued...)
