Stepping on two boats and waiting for changes is not just the idea of some people in Shudi. In the vast territory of the Ming Dynasty, there are really many people who secretly make small calculations.

They were holding Chongzhen's bowl while staring at other people's pots.

Tartars, thieves, Shu Wangfu, Zhu Pingjin is unfortunately only one of several spare tires.

However, the helplessness of the real world lies in its fun and cruelty.

The interesting thing is that there are a lot of spare tires, but they can't be replaced at will;

The cruel thing is that every time you change the spare tire, it is a life and death decision.

Wang Shicong was worried that the imperial court would characterize Liu Chao's destruction of the city as a rebellion, and then he would return to himself for a thousand years. However, Wang Shicong's reasonable concern unexpectedly angered one person.

That is Ma Jinzhong, who has been a thief longer than an official soldier.

"Rebellion? Lao Tzu rebelled, what can he do! ”

Ma Jinzhong, who was opposite Mo Chongwen, suddenly jumped up and yelled at Wang Shicong and everyone.

"Jingshi's bird court, there is no good thing in a nest!

Back then, the holy decree said every day that disaster relief and grain would be released, but Lao Tzu was so hungry that his eyes bulged out, and he didn't see half a grain of grain.

Where does the food go? It's the dog officials who are greedy!

Lao Tzu raised the flag to rebel back then, not because Lao Tzu was disloyal and unjust, but because he was forced to Liangshan by those dog officials......

Those gentry are damned! Where did the dog officials come from, aren't they all from the families of the gentry?

Ladies and gentlemen, think about it, why do Lao Tzu work hard every day, and the dog officials sit back and enjoy their success?

Why do Lao Tzu lick blood from the knife edge, and the gentry sing every night?

If you want to say that the door is destroyed, Lao Tzu has destroyed many doors, and there are not a hundred but eighty. The dog officials and gentry Lao Tzu saw that one family destroyed another, and he didn't see anyone who could bite Lao Tzu's cock......

What is it now, Lao Tzu is still the deputy chief soldier of the imperial court! If it weren't for Zuo Liangyu's idea of escaping from the beginning of the battle, Lao Tzu would have been a fucking general soldier with Zhu Xianzhen's severed head......

Not to mention destroying the family, how can you destroy the Jinshi family......"

Ma Jinzhong scolded him indiscriminately, and choked back what Wang Shicong, who was born and suspected of being a dog official, and choked his face red and his eyes rolled.

Wen Ruzhen, Mo Chongwen and Yang Guodong held back the smiles on their faces and scolded Wang Shicong in their hearts for dozens of deserved.

When I first arrived in Bozhou, the four battalions divided the territory. Ma Jinzhong saw that Wang Shicong was a four-grade civil official with a head and a face, and he was a little famous in Henan officialdom, thinking that he could get officials for himself and food for his sons; Wang Shicong believed the rumors that Ma Jinzhong lived up to his loyalty, thinking that Ma Jinzhong could drive him arbitrarily. The two hit it off, carrying Wen Ruzhen, Mo Chongwen and Yang Guodong behind their backs and muttering for a long time, and partnered to ask for Luyi, a small county town located in Henan.

Someone volunteered to occupy the more dangerous west to provide flank protection for the army, and Wen Ruzhen, Mo Chongwen and Yang Guodong were naturally happy to see it.

It's a pity that love is a lie.

The honeymoon period between the two ended soon.

Wang Shicong wrote several chicken feather letters to Gao Douguang, the governor of Fengyang, asking for food, but Gao Douguang pretended to be deaf and dumb and did not reply half a word.

Wang Shicong was entrusted by the four generals to ask for merit from the imperial court. Wang Shicong first praised himself.

In the compromise, Wang Shicong said that he took the initiative to invite Ying, and led the troops to attack the old camp of thieves at night; It was his own bloody battle that lasted all night and fought his way out of the encirclement; It was his own clever use of suspicious tactics to get rid of the pursuers; It is to collect the rout army and appease the displaced people; It is to recover Bozhou and Luyi counties by themselves......

When the emperor saw the twists and turns, he was wow, and there were more loyal ministers and capable ministers such as Lu Xiangsheng and Hong Chengchou in the imperial court;

Ma Jinzhong caught Xiucai and thought, wow, they all said that they would be thieves, I think you are thieves! Feelings, I wait for life and death, it's all your credit!

So Ma Jinzhong became a bandit, making Wang Shicong the second Ding Qirui.

Ding Qirui eats wine and meat casually, Wang Shicong doesn't say that there is no meat, even the vegetables are boiled in white water.

Wang Shicong cheekily went to Ma Jinzhong and said, but Ma Jinzhong put the brown rice in his bowl on the table and said:

This is to share the joys and sorrows with the soldiers!

If you can't eat it, just go back to Runing Mansion and have a big meal!

The most taboo thing for Chinese is to tear their faces with people.

The relationship between the two is stiff. When Wang Shicong came to Chengfu Town this time, he said angrily to Wen Ruzhen that he didn't plan to go back to Luyi. Anyway, he didn't even bring out a small soldier, he was alone, and the world was his home.

Wen Ruzhen was thinking about mediating for Wang Shicong and Ma Jinzhong, but she didn't expect that Ma Jinzhong couldn't wait to jump out and make the conflict between the two public.

"Mix 100,000, there is time today, sit down and talk slowly!"

The old man at the top, Wen Ruzhen, gently pressed his hand, signaling that Ma Jinzhong did not need to be excited.

"This time, the brothers of the fourth battalion were able to withdraw with all their mustaches and all their hair, and Lord Wang contributed a lot! Last month, Lord Wang gave us an excerpt, saying that we took the initiative to ask for help and attacked the old camp of thieves at night. He said that we had just withdrawn from Zhuxian Town, and that the soldiers and horses had suffered heavy losses, and that there was little grain and grass left, so we asked the court to pay and distribute grain.

Remember, Lord Wang is a local civil official! On his fold, those dogs in the court didn't dare to take it and rub his buttocks. If it is an excerpt of us warriors, who will bird you in the court? With Lord Wang negotiating with the Fengyang Mansion, the Imperial Court will not treat us as thieves......"

Wen Ruzhen spoke slowly and logically, but she hit the nail on the head.

He distinguished Wang Shicong, not only to ease the relationship between civil and military, but also to remind Ma Jinzhong:

At this critical juncture, Wang Shicong's identity has a unique role!

Ma Jinzhong has a low culture, but his EQ is not low, and his IQ is higher. He sat down unsatisfied, and happened to see Yang Guodong with a wicked smile on his face, and couldn't help but show a fierce light in his eyes, and glared back fiercely.

"According to the bad opinion of the last general, we still wait and see what happens!"

Yang Guodong seized the opportunity to clarify his opinion: "The gentry of Yongcheng should indeed be killed, but Brother Liu is also a little ruthless!" However, their rights and wrongs are not clear to us when we first arrived. What the last general was most worried about was the attitude of the imperial court. If the imperial court determines that it is a mutiny and mobilizes a large army to encircle and suppress it, then Brother Liu's thousands of regiments may be more auspicious and less auspicious......"

"This official is worried about the imperial court's attack!"

Wang Shicong was depressed in his chest, not vomiting or unhappy.

"Please think about it, generals: the cause of the Wuqiao Mutiny was just a chicken! How many troops have been transferred by the imperial court to suppress, and the Guanning army ......"

Unexpectedly, Ma Jinzhong once again pushed back Wang Shicong's words:

"What else is the Guan Ning Army transferred by the imperial court now? All fucking trapped in Matsuyama. Shanhaiguan sent a few soldiers and horses out to rescue, but when they reached the halfway point, they were cut down by the Tartar cavalry! X! A bunch of bad goods who give away heads! ”

"Because of this, this official is not worried about Guan Ningjun, but about us!" Yang Guodong argued.

"Are you saying that the imperial court has no soldiers, and will transfer me and others to suppress it?"

Ma Jinzhong froze suddenly.

But in the blink of an eye, he shook his head easily and said, "No! Didn't Lord Wang give the court an excerpt?

We attacked the old camp of thieves at night, but the camp retreated, and we were defeated. Now we have just withdrawn from Zhuxian Town, and we have suffered heavy losses in soldiers and horses, and there is not much grain and grass left. How can this be suppressed?

Besides, Yongcheng is next to the Fengyang Imperial Mausoleum, where there is an army of Mu Wenshou, Huama Liu and Huang Chuangzi, so it will not be our turn......

Mr. Wen also said just now, those dog officials in the court don't pee on us, and they dare to rub the dignified king's folds on their butts? ”

"Huang Chuangzi and Huama Liu went to fight Zhang Xianzhong, Huang Chuangzi set off from Dingyuan (Note 1), and Huama Liu set off from Suzhou (Note 2). Hengchang's wire report recently came to the news that the two official armies have reoccupied Luzhou and are pursuing Lu'an......" Mo Chongwen quietly looked at Ma Jinzhongdao. He seemed to want to see through the person in front of him, did he really not know or pretended not to know?

Ding Hengchang is a tall and hearty red-faced man.

Seeing Mo Chongwen mention himself, he added with a smile: "The eight thieves and the fifth battalion of Gezuo took the initiative to retreat, and anyway, the Luzhou area was also robbed. I think they want to rely on Ying and Huo to have a big battle with Huang Chuangzi and Huama Liu!

Huang Chuangzi and Huama Liu won consecutive battles, but I was a little worried. In the art of war, it is said that arrogant soldiers will be defeated......"

"There is no flower horse Liu and Huang Chuangzi, and Mu Wenshou!" Ma Jinzhong argued.

"Then who will guard the Fengyang Imperial Mausoleum? Is the ancestral tomb of the Zhu family important, or is a Liu Chao important? Yang Guodong asked rhetorically.

Seeing Ma Jinzhong's speech, Yang Guodong glanced at the people present and said slowly:

"What the last general is most worried about is that the emperor has been deceived by traitorous ministers and ordered us to send troops!

You say, if the emperor asks us to send troops, will we suppress it?

Suppression, Brother Liu is kind to us, how can we start? How do the brethren think, saying that we will take revenge on those who lead the army, and how will we lead the army in the future? Besides, Brother Liu and we are both from Guizhou, and the soldiers will inevitably have the feeling of being in the same room and hurting things. As soon as you go into battle, you will inevitably tiptoe, how can this battle be fought?

If you don't suppress it, that's disobedience. Aren't we accused of disloyalty like Brother Liu? I don't know which day in the future, I will be suppressed by others again!

Therefore, this loyalty and righteousness have been difficult to achieve since ancient times! ”

Hearing Yang Guodong's analysis, Wang Shicong finally nodded.

"General Yang is worthy of a Confucian general, and a few words can enter the wood!"

What Wang Shicong was most worried about was that the emperor asked him to lead his troops to Yongcheng to quell the rebellion.

Wang Shicong is an official in Henan, Yongcheng is a county in Henan, and the holy decree asked him to lead troops to suppress Yongcheng, which is justified.

Besides, Wang Shicong described himself as loyal and brave in the recital, and the emperor might just give him a chance to make new contributions on a whim.

Even if the emperor let Wang Shicong go, the new imperial history supervisor Wang Han (Note 3), a native of Ye County, Shandong, would definitely not let him go.

Wang Han's mission was to supervise the Hebei army, but he went to Hanoi County to recruit troops and train the army, which caused a lot of trouble in Henan and Beizhi. Who is Wang Han for? Naturally, he is the emperor of Kyoshi. It can be seen from this that Wang Han's fame is heavy!

After the thieves failed to attack Kaifeng, the original governor became the governor according to his high name, vacating a tempting position. Wang Han's fancy big move must have been rushed to take over the patrol. Wang Han is now the imperial history of the supervising army, whether he becomes the governor of Henan or not, he has the right to let Wang Shicong send troops to suppress through the governor Gao Mingheng.

But isn't it fun to attack Liu Chao? A 60-year-old veteran and hundreds of pro-soldiers and generals were all killed from the sea of blood in Guizhou's corpse mountain. Once he colludes with the thieves, it will not be 6,000 troops, but 60,000, 160,000......

Wang Shicong was still weighing the pros and cons, and Wen Ruzhen had already ordered Mo Chongwen: "General Mo, you are both fierce Zhang Fei and Zhuge Liang." What do you think? ”

"Why don't you ask Brother Long to talk about it first! Brother Long is the liaison officer of the Protector Army, and last night he brought another 5,000 stone of grain to solve our urgent need. As the saying goes, if you eat someone's mouth, you take someone's soft hand. Now Brother Long is the food and clothing parents of more than 20,000 brothers in my four battalions, and we can't let others just listen and not speak! ”

Mo Chongwen's words were mixed with deliberate metaphors and mockery, which made everyone turn their attention to Long Qisheng, who was worthy of the last seat.

Long Qisheng didn't care, just smiled innocently. He stood up and arched his hands:

"The last general went to Huai'an Mansion this time, but I happened to see Miss Liu Hongting, the head of the Shu Mansion, and the governor of Zhejiang! Miss Liu asked in detail about the situation in Bozhou and the generals' camps, but Miss Liu didn't say anything except borrowing grain. However, the end of this trip to Huai'an is very rewarding! In addition to 5,000 stone of grain, I, an old bachelor, also got a daughter-in-law! ……

My daughter-in-law is not only Miss Liu's attendant, but also comes out directly from the side of the prince! The meaning of the last general, instead of letting the last general, it is better to let the last general's daughter-in-law say ......"

There are such miracles!

Wang Shicong and Wen Ruzhen glanced at each other, and almost at the same time ordered: "Quick! Fast! Lady Dragon, please! ”

Note 1: Dingyuan, now Dingyuan County, Anhui Province.

Note 2: Suzhou, now Suzhou City, Anhui Province.

Note 3: In the battle for the Central Plains, Chongzhen successively appointed three imperial history supervisors: Wang Han, Su Jing and Wang Xie.

According to historical records, Wang Han was appointed as the governor of Henan on the road (Tongguan) of the supervising army Zuo Liangyu. After Gao Mingheng fell ill, Wang Han was promoted to governor of Henan and became the commander of the army north of the Yellow River.

At the beginning of the second year, Wang Han was taken into Yongcheng by Liu Chao and killed. Here the plot needs to be modified appropriately.
