Chapter six hundred and thirty fifth everything goes well
Wu Shigong felt that his lungs were about to burst with anger. He felt that he might not be able to control his emotions if he stayed here any longer, so Wu Shigong hugged Xue Chengping and walked towards the outside of the inner house without looking back.
Seeing Wu Shigong leaving, Li Xin's face was filled with panic. She stretched out her hand to pull Wu Shigong, but she hesitated when she thought of Wu Chengying behind her. But with such hesitation, Wu Shigong had already stepped out of the door and disappeared.
Wu Shigong stepped on the snow on the school ground step by step, making a "click, click, click" sound. Chi Ming and other personal guards followed Wu Shigong closely. Seeing Wu Shigong's face was gloomy, they just followed, who
They didn't dare to say anything. It wasn't until they passed through the entire camp and arrived at Li Yuenu's house that the guards stopped and still stood guard outside the house.
Seeing Wu Shigong's sudden arrival, Li Yuenu said in surprise: "Master, why are you here?"
Wu Shigong touched Xue Chengping's little head and said: "This is Ping'er. I will keep it with you from now on. Ping'er, call her Aunt Yue!"
But Xue Chengping burst into tears with a cry of "Wow!" Wu Shigong immediately didn't understand, so he asked anxiously: "Ping'er, what's wrong with you?"
"Mother... Sir, I don't want... Ping'er! Father... I don't want... Ping'er anymore!" Xue Chengping cried more and more sadly, sobbing and unable to say a complete sentence.
Wu Shigong felt particularly sad when he thought of Ping'er's experience. He quickly comforted: "Who said dad doesn't want you anymore? Dad will be with you today and tell you the story of Little White Dragon. Do you want to listen? Ping'er.
My dear! You must be a good and bold boy like Little White Dragon!"
After finally comforting Xue Chengping, Xue Chengping was still a little worried. He asked with tears in his eyes: "Father, can Ping'er still play with his brothers and sisters? Ping'er still wants to set off firecrackers."
Wu Shigong almost spat out a mouthful of blood. What a child! He was so worried about them, but in the blink of an eye, Xue Chengping was only interested in having fun. What was going on?
But looking at Xue Chengping's expectant eyes, Wu Shigong had no choice but to agree: "Go and play when you want, but you have to ask Aunt Yue to follow you. Don't play those dangerous games."
Li Yuenu arranged for the maid to coax Xue Chengping to play, and then she immediately stuck to Wu Shigong's side. She asked with a smile: "Master! Will Ping'er live here at the slave's house from now on?"
Wu Shigong nodded and replied: "Haven't you always wanted to raise a child? Just take Ping'er with you first! When he grows up, let him be filial to you."
Li Yuenu was surprised again and said: "Really!?" Then she immediately whispered in Wu Shigong's ear: "Actually, there are also osmanthus flowers."
"Isn't that good? Having more children means more blessings! Wouldn't it be impossible for you to support two children with your little wealth?" Wu Shigong was immediately in a good mood.
"That's right! Guihua doesn't know whether she's a boy or a girl yet. The Nu family wants a boy!" Li Yuenu replied.
"Don't give Osmanthus away then. A child without a mother is always pitiful. Alas!" Wu Shigong couldn't help but think of Xue Chengping again.
"Okay! Master!" Li Yuenu immediately nodded in agreement, "Then will the master stay here today?"
"Just prepare it and save it for dinner!" Wu Shigong ordered, "Wait until Ping'er falls asleep. I will go home."
Today's accident was not caused intentionally by Wu Chengying. It is understandable that children are timid. So it is okay for Wu Shigong to run away from home to show off, but staying out all night would be too much.
"Then let's go cook now!" Li Yuenu walked out happily.
It was already late at night when he returned to the inner house, but as soon as Wu Shigong entered, he saw Li Xin waiting for him at the door. After seeing Wu Shigong, Li Xin looked behind him and asked, "Where is Ping'er?"
"Not back!" Wu Shigong took Li Xin's hand. He found that her hand was cold and felt a little distressed, so he blamed her: "It's such a cold day, so don't wait outside."
Hearing Wu Shigong's concern, Li Xin felt her nose sore and couldn't help but shed tears. She sniffed and said, "Ying'er has been waiting for dad. She was still crying until she fell asleep."
"Hey——!" Wu Shigong sighed, "I have a bad temper, so don't take it to heart. But from now on, we must let Ying'er act like an older brother." While talking, Wu Shigong held Li Xin's hand.
Walk toward the house.
"But why doesn't Ping'er go home? Is your husband still angry with me?" Li Xin was still a little worried.
"Let it go as long as the matter is over! Living outside is actually good for you." Wu Shigong replied.
"But I'm afraid that someone will gossip! It's not easy to explain to my wife!"
"If Ping'er is injured, it will be really hard to explain. Let outsiders say whatever they want. What do you care about them?"
"Hey——!" Li Xin also let out a long sigh.
The reason why Wu Shigong asked Xue Chengping to live separately was to avoid suspicion. Because Xue Yufei did not live here, if Xue Chengping had an accident, whether it was related to Li Xin or not, she would not be able to avoid suspicion. So now that they live separately, she will
A lot less trouble.
"So Ping'er won't come here anymore?" Xue Yufei asked again.
"When the family gets together during holidays, he will always come over. If he wants to play with his brothers and sisters on weekdays, you... just don't come forward!" Wu Shigong replied.
The New Year of the eleventh year of Chongzhen has arrived. In the past year, the Runing Army has been developing at a consistent high speed. But for Wu Shigong himself, it was a year when everything went wrong. On New Year's Eve,
Hearing the deafening sound of firecrackers at midnight, Wu Shigong silently made a wish in his heart: I hope that all his wishes will come true this year!
Maybe Wu Shigong's wish really came true. In the first half of the eleventh year of Chongzhen, the development of the Runing Army and the situation in the Ming Dynasty were really smooth sailing, and the entire Ming Dynasty also showed some signs of peace in the world.
The only military operation carried out by the Runing Army - the bandit suppression in the Dabie Mountains has finally come to an end. Zhuan Shanbao and his gang were all killed under the full force of the encirclement and suppression in Jiaoji Town and Yuanyue Town. However, this bandit suppression was also quite cruel.
The Runing Army did not accept any surrender, and even the family members of the bandits such as Zhuan Shanbao were exterminated. However, this also eliminated the possibility of the Dabie Mountain bandits resurrecting.
Due to the long-term suppression of bandits and the need for a large amount of supplies in the field, the markets established by Fengyang officials such as Yan Dingshan became more and more prosperous. However, this prosperity turned out to be a big deal. Somehow, the market was reported
When he arrived at the court, he became famous all over the world. Emperor Chongzhen was furious when he learned that it was Long Yan who immediately dismissed Fengyang Governor Zhu Dadian for investigation. On the contrary, Yan Dingshan and others, under the principle that the law does not blame everyone,
They were all safe and sound. Zhu Dadian was really unlucky.
Since the Wang family entered Runing to set up industry, Runing Army's industry and commerce have once again made a leap forward. Because the power of Runing Army has expanded to the Huguang area, Sihai Commercial Bank has opened up a large number of new markets. In addition, the Qi army has been eliminated
After returning home, Wu Shigong and the Yangzhou salt merchants Lu Jia and others were in the honeymoon period again, so the financial income was increasing steadily.
What is even more gratifying is that this year has been a rare good year. During the summer harvest, the Runing Army obtained a rare bumper harvest. It is estimated that the autumn harvest will not be much worse.
With the long-term focus on training and the financial support of the Runing Army, more than 40 people in the Runing Army system have become scholars, and three more have won the imperial examination. If you include Runing who was funded by Wu Shigong, Guide passed the imperial examination.
And the number of talents who passed the Jinshi examination was even greater. The Runing Army finally cultivated a group of its own people in the official circles of the Ming Dynasty.
The only regret is that Mr. Hou passed away because of his old age. This also caused one less bridge between Wu Shigong and the Donglin Party, and even caused Hou Fangyu to miss a scientific examination because of Ding You. You know, the Runing Army had already
He added Hou Fangyu's quota to his list.
On the contrary, it was Hou Xun, whose Ding You was abnormally captured by the court. Now he seemed to be held hostage by the court, and they were planning to use him to hold Wu Shigong and Zuo Liangyu hostage. After the funeral of Mr. Hou,
Hou Fangyu still went to Jinling to continue his study tour. Li Xiangjun's attraction was really great!
The more than 60,000 soldiers and horses of the Runing Army have finally been organized and trained in place. In addition to the 18,000 soldiers of the Nanyang Army, there are two towns in Huguang with more than 14,000 people. And Shumo's Guide Association has
Five thousand soldiers and horses. Wu Shigong's headquarters has two towns, with a total of 24,000 troops directly under his command and personal troops.
Following the pattern of the Lookout, Navy craftsmen built three small sailing ships that could be used on the Huai River, each equipped with eight cannons. Due to the adoption of a series of new techniques, the speed of these small sailing ships was impressive.
Quite satisfied.
Only the relationship with Zheng Zhilong and the Zheng family reached a deadlock. Although the cooperation between the two parties was still going on, and the Zheng family did not seize the proceeds from Wu Shigong's ship, the Zheng family delayed the replacement of Huang Qifa and other marine regiments on the grounds that they did not have a ship, which made
Huang Qiqi's return is far away.
Because the finances are quite abundant, the horses, weapons and equipment of the Runing Army are basically in place. New plate armor has also begun to be equipped with the Runing Army.
This time for the production of new plate armor, the final order unexpectedly fell into the hands of Nanyang Ironware. Because Wu Shigong left it alone, the craftsmen of Nanyang Ironware used their brains and worked together.
Because the key to making plate armor is hammering, they creatively used waterwheels, which greatly improved efficiency and reduced the cost of each plate armor to eighteen taels of silver, and the production cycle was also greatly shortened.
However, as a result, Runingjun's workshop began to break away from pure manual manufacturing and began to see the germination of machine production. The seeds of the industrial revolution quietly emerged. (To be continued. If you like
