Chapter eight hundred and fifteen buying people's hearts
Li Xin pulled Xue Chengping up, who was about to kneel down, and then squeezed out a smile and said to him: "Ping'er is so big, come to Aunt Li quickly." Then she held the two children one by one.
little hands.
While the two children were not paying attention, Li Xin glanced at the mean woman next to her with a frosty expression. Li Yuenu lowered her eyebrows and looked like a bird, as if she was resigned to the situation.
"...I didn't expect that Idiot Yu was very capable. He was able to mobilize tens of thousands of new soldiers to send to the Shaanxi thieves to surround him. He also wanted us to rescue him. Of course we would rescue him. I just hope that he can hold on for a longer time.
Then the number of Shaanxi thieves our Runing Army will encounter will be much smaller. Do you think I should give Yu Fool a fool award?" Wu Shigong faced his civil and military officials in the front hall in front of the screen.
said.
"Hahaha——!" A burst of laughter immediately broke out in the front hall.
"Okay, we won't hold any swearing-in ceremony this time, so we will go out quietly. But before we go out, I have something to announce to everyone." Wu Shigong then shouted, "Ping'er! Ying'er!
Everyone come out."
Li Xin quickly asked Xue Chengping and Wu Chengying to move to the screen. Wu Shigong then took the hands of the two children and announced to the civil and military personnel: "I am sending an order to the entire army. The person who will take over the post is: the eldest son Xue Chenglin; the one who obeys: the son Xue Chengping
; The next person to follow: the second son Wu Chengying. This should be spread to the ears of every soldier."
"No!" Everyone accepted the order in unison.
In order to prevent civil strife in the Runing Army caused by the last succession issue, Wu Shigong once again reiterated that his successor was his eldest son Xue Chenglin. Because Xue Chenglin was in Beijing, his own safety could not be guaranteed, so Wu Shigong made a sudden decision
The top three candidates for succession.
Li Xin, who was listening behind the screen, felt bitter in her heart. Then she glanced at Li Yuenu, who had a lowered eyebrow, as if she wanted to transmit all the resentment in her heart to Li Yuenu through her eyes.
Although there were Wu Shigong's wives, concubines and children standing behind the screen, they all remained quiet. Luo Qingjun, who was hiding on the edge, secretly glanced at Li Xin who was standing in front, and then at his protruding belly.
, I don’t know what I’m thinking about.
…
On August 11, the 15th year of Chongzhen, the entire Runing Army went out. The Runing Army divided its troops into three groups: on the right was 35,000 troops led by Yang Rusong and Shumo, and on the left was led by Zhou Xun and Zhang
Biao led 28,000 soldiers and horses; in the middle was 42,000 soldiers and horses led by Xue Yongli and Chu Ge. Following in the middle was Wu Shigong's Chinese army, with 11,000 guards directly under the command of He Fei.
and the 2,000 soldiers led by Chi Ming. The entire army of 119,000 soldiers and horses officially entered the melee in the Central Plains.
Several spies from the Peasant Army were enjoying the shade under the shade of a tree. This place is in Taikang County in central Henan, more than 200 miles away from the border between Runing Army and Guide. On weekdays, scouts from the Runing Army rarely come.
So these peasant army spies they met wanted to be lazy.
These spies from the Peasant Army all spoke the northern Shaanxi dialect and chatted about interesting things about their hometown. A wine bag was handed to each person in turn and turned around, and everyone was able to satisfy their greed. They were talking and laughing, and they were a little unhappy.
Very happy.
But at this moment, they noticed that the earth was shaking. The spies looked at each other. They all noticed that the faces of others were a little pale. Suddenly one person suddenly woke up and ran to the tree to untie the reins of the war horse. The other spies also
They all reacted. They all went to untie the reins and didn't even notice that the wine bag fell to the ground.
When the spies mounted their horses and climbed up the high slope, they saw only a black line emerging from the edge of the land in the south.
"Run quickly! Go back to the camp and send a message!" A spy turned the horse's head.
"Brother Liu! Why don't you go up and find out which family's troops are there and how many there are?" asked another spy.
"What are you still asking about?" The spy who was ready to escape shouted hoarsely, "It must be Butcher Wu. It must be Butcher Wu. All his troops have been dispatched. If we don't leave, we won't be able to leave."
After saying that, the spy was the first to raise his whip. His horse was in pain and ran away.
After a while, a group of Runing Army cavalry galloped to where the peasant army spies were staying. Looking at the fleeing people, the leading cavalry captain stepped on the wine bag with his horse and said with a smile.
: "Those bastards can run away so fast!"
…
"Qiao Song! You first arrange for manpower to control all the places we captured. Don't be afraid of the land being barren and desolate. First, establish an official system from towns to prefectures and counties. Things can be done step by step. As for the population, we can do it step by step.
I will send it to you." Wu Shigong ordered.
"promise!"
"Yan Zhizhou! You have to worry about the affairs of the state and county officials. If there are candidates or supervisors, as long as they are committed to our Runing Army, they can be appointed first and occupy the position first. If there are still vacancies, then choose the best.
Choose from among the students! In addition, the negotiations with the imperial court and the governor's office will also be left to you. In everything, delay is the first priority, and we must ensure that our people really control this territory." Wu Shigong told the original Ruzhou again.
Zhizhou Yan Jing ordered.
"Yes! Sir!"
After dispatching troops, the Runing Army successfully occupied several counties in central Henan. So Wu Shigong immediately asked Qiao Song and Yan Jing to arrange the more than a thousand reserve officials they brought. However, as the occupied areas continued to
As the army expanded, the number of new officials needed also continued to increase, so on the one hand Wu Shigong asked Runing to urgently arrange a group of reserve officials, and on the other hand, they promoted them on the spot. The Runing army wanted to speed up the process, and before the court could react, they first wanted to
In this anarchic land, the Runing Army established its own political power.
"General! There are local elders ahead to express condolences to the general!" a soldier reported.
"Okay! Then let's go and have a look!" Wu Shigong said with a smile.
"I've been looking forward to it day and night, and finally I'm looking forward to Master Wang. I'm not very happy to see the general's face today!" Several kind-looking old men knelt down to welcome Wu Shigong with a lot of rewards.
"Please get up quickly!" Wu Shigong helped him humbly. He also smiled very kindly, "I am deeply grateful to all the local virtuous people for showing their kindness to the Runing Army. I also came very late, so I am really ashamed! I am so ashamed.
!”
"Don't dare! Don't dare!"
Everyone was showing off their love for the military and civilians. But Wu Shigong knew in his heart that none of these old men were vegetarians. In a time when bandits and refugees are rampant, the only people who can survive in the local area are the local wealthy families. And these wealthy families all have their own characteristics.
Their own armed forces are the landlords' armed forces. Usually these landlords' armed forces defend their own clans, and occasionally they visit bandits. And these landlords' armed forces have also purchased weapons from the Runing Army.
However, in order to stabilize the local area as soon as possible, the Runing Army still had to cooperate with these local large families to restore production as soon as possible through their strength and establish an effective governance system.
"I once heard that your family is a farming and studying family, and the children in the family are all good and good. However, the place is in decline and needs people to manage it. I hope that you will not begrudge your children and let them come out to work for our Runing Army.
Let’s do it!” Wu Shigong smiled and threw the carrot.
"That's for sure! That's for sure!" Those old men were overjoyed. Today they wanted to establish a close relationship with Wu Shigong and find a good future for the children of the clan. "As long as the general likes him, everyone in the clan will
It's up to you, General, to make your choice. There will be no refusal."
"That's the best! Thank you very much!"
"Hahaha--!"
After a period of joy for both the guests and the host, the performance finally came to an end. Everyone got what they wanted and were very satisfied with the outcome of the meeting.
The actions of those local wealthy families were very vigorous and resolute. They quickly gathered more than 4,000 landlord armed forces and put them under the command of the Runing Army. Wu Shigong immediately arranged this armed force to become the auxiliary force of the Runing Army. And Qiao Song
He Yanjing also accepted more than a hundred children from various ethnic groups and immediately placed them in vacant positions.
This arrangement is also a stop-gap measure for the Runing Army. Those officials who join in a surprise attack will be tested in the future. Only those who are effectively integrated into the Runing Army will develop in the future. Moreover, such officials will not be
They will serve as officials in the same place, and they will also be arranged to move to other places to prevent collusion between the official and local officials.
After the meeting, Wu Shigong asked Chi Mingdao: "Where are Rusong and Shumo on the right?"
"They have entered Qixian County and are about to encounter the Shaanxi bandits." Chi Ming replied.
Wu Shigong nodded, and then ordered: "Go to Uncle Yongli and Xunzi and tell them to slow down and not rush too fast. The main attack this time is Rusong. Don't kill all the Shaanxi thieves in three strikes."
Terrified."
The expedition of the Runing Army is divided into two stages:
The first stage is of course to open a passage for Kaifeng City, at least to ensure that food can be transported into the city, and to give the soldiers and civilians in the city the confidence to defend the city. Of course, now there is an additional task, which is to rescue Yu Zilian's Black Cloud Army
.
The tasks at this stage are completed by Yang Rusong and Shumo Department on the right. Xue Yongli and Chuge Department in the middle are basically flank cover. Zhou Xun and Zhang Biao Department on the left will not rush.
They were too far forward. They were also afraid of beating the Li and Luo coalition forces too hard so that they would not dare to enter Huguang via Nanyang.
The second stage is to have a long-term stalemate with the coalition forces of Li and Luo. The Runing Army will not take the initiative to launch an attack, and of course it will block the advance of the coalition forces of Li and Luo from the front. The Runing Army will fight against the millions of peasant troops and eventually
Forcing Li and Luo's coalition forces to leave Kaifeng City.
After all, the food supply for one million people is always much greater than that of hundreds of thousands. The Runing army has Runing and Guide behind it to supply the food. If it is about consumption, the Li and Luo coalition forces are even trying to flatter each other.
