"What's going on? You put it plainly! Wu Shigong asked.

"Master! That's how it ......," so He Fei told Wu Shigong eloquently.

It turned out that Wei Changlin's widow wanted to remarry a small document in the Runing Army this time after being widowed for seven or eight years. And He Fei, Wei Changlin's old brothers, were angry. They used their shili to snatch Wei Changlin's son first, and then beat the clerk to the fullest, just to stop the marriage.

But Wei Changlin's widow was quite spicy, and she insisted on asking He Fei and them for an explanation. This good man doesn't fight with women, and the clerk is also a member of the Runing military system, so He Fei and they can't be ruthless, so they brought this lawsuit to Wu Shigong.

After hearing all this, Wu Shigong let out a long sigh and decided to settle the matter: "Find a way to persuade the Changlin family again, if she really wants to remarry, let her go." This orphan and widow are not having a good time! As long as the paperwork is good, Haode will be treated by the Changlin family. ”

"How many good brothers have just left, and now they can only take care of the living. Don't embarrass that clerk anymore, bring Changlin's son over, I will raise him personally, and I can be regarded as worthy of Changlin. Alas! ”

"Yes! Master! After listening to Wu Shigong's words, He Fei could only agree. However, she was still a little unconvinced in her heart, and said in a puffed up: "If the small one is the same as Changlin, the small Hun family will not dream of remarrying." If you want to die not small, you have to jump out of the coffin. ”

"What's the nonsense?" Wu Shigong raised his eyebrows and scolded. But if you think about it carefully, Wu Shigong himself definitely can't stand the remarriage of his wife.

Unexpectedly, Tao Xin behind him also interjected: "I can't stand it either!" ”

Wu Shigong immediately slapped him, and at this time, the officers remembered that Tao Xin's bride-to-be was Wu Shigong's daughter, and they immediately looked at the lively .......

After this episode, Wu Shigong's mood was a little bad. So I was a little sensitive when I had breakfast. When he saw that the ladies did not take themselves as the center, but gathered around Zhao Ruya and Carreli to "rub their relatives" and whisper, Wu Shigong's heart was also not smooth, and he asked, "What are you discussing?" ”

Li Xin hurriedly walked to Wu Shigong's side and said with a smile: "The two sisters are discussing how much silver they have earned in the inner house. ”

Li Xin gave birth to a son for Wu Shigong again, and everything is going well these days, so she looks particularly radiant at this time.

As soon as he heard that he had made money, Wu Shigong's face immediately turned cloudy, and he asked with a smile: "What kind of money do you make?" Tell me about it! "Wu Shigong has always been ignorant of the accounts of the inner house, so he knows very little about what his wife does.

"It's not a futures exchange opened by my husband!" Zhao Ruya also walked over with a smile. "The concubine found that there was a difference in the amount there, so she gathered the sisters' private room and made a few strokes."

"Hey!" Wu Shigong laughed out loud. I didn't expect that there was a financial talent among my wife, "How much did you make that little money?" ”

"Not much! That's more than 4,000 taels! Although Zhao Ruya said very modestly, she couldn't hide her smug expression.

"Haha! I didn't expect to pick up a rich woman! Wu Shigong joked, "I opened this futures exchange and knew that there could be speculation here." But I've never told you, and I didn't expect Ya'er to find out. What a genius! ”

Zhao Ruya snorted proudly and said, "Then there is no need to say." But it's not the work of a concubine alone. Sister Ka also helped a lot. ”

Wu Shigong looked at Carreli, and Carreli also naughtily spat out his tongue at Wu Shigong.

After that, Wu Shigong knew what Zhao Ruya and they did. It turned out that when the futures exchange was established, Zhao Ruya has been concerned about this nascent business. When she learned that there would be a big drought this year, she immediately calculated that she would make a large difference by selling short grain.

So Zhao Ruya took out her private house and prepared to invest in it, and other ladies who believed in Zhao Ruya's vision also handed over their private houses to Zhao Ruya to invest, and even Li Xin took out some spare silver in the inner house.

More in the specific operation later. Zhao Ruya received the assistance of Carelli, who knew some futures operations in the West, the Netherlands and other places, so it was even more invincible.

After understanding all this, Wu Shigong reminded: "After all, there are risks in doing futures, so you should not invest all your private houses in it." In case the blood is lost. But there was nowhere to find the money. You're all mine now, and you can't sell it to me for a good price. ”

Wu Shigong's joke immediately caused a "chirp" from the ladies.

Wu Shigong continued: "Also, tell me before you buy any stocks and futures in the future. Don't hide it from me, I'm here to know some of the news. ”

For the sake of his wife's private house, Wu Shigong doesn't mind doing some fake public and private things. However, Wu Shigong thought that when the futures exchange first opened, in order to take care of its business, all the major tuntian zhuangzi apportioned farmers to the futures exchange to cash out and maintain their value.

Although this year is a severe drought, those farmers have received a basic income, so futures trading has evolved into a virtue policy of the Runing Army. That's really unintentionally planted in the willows!

After breakfast, Wu Shigong went to the study to deal with official business, and today was the time for Zheng Ling to report on the "Intelligence Summary". At the beginning, Wu Shigong learned about the latest battle situation.

In July and August of the ninth year of Chongzhen, Lao Hui Ma Shouying seized a gap exposed by the Ming army after the Tang King incident, and hurriedly came to a sprint. led more than 50,000 troops straight to Kaifeng City.

Seeing the situation, Li Xianfeng, the governor of Henan, hurriedly retreated with the main force of the Henan Ming army, and before Ma Shouying arrived at Kaifeng City, he was embarrassed to return to Kaifeng. However, Kaifeng, which had no time to prepare for the city defense, was still fiercely attacked by Ma Shouying. Ma Shouying's department burned Xiguan, and the Ming court was deeply shocked.

Later, seeing that the Zuo Liangyu Department that was following was about to arrive, Ma Shouying immediately gave up attacking Kaifeng and turned to the Yanling and Fugou areas in Henan. Zuo Liangyu led his troops to of course pursue closely, and Ma Shouying responded calmly, and adopted the tactics of luring the enemy to move to the direction of Zhengzhou, and avoided the deep mountains and sent people to scold the enemy to lure the enemy.

And when the enraged Zuo Liangyu led the army to chase into Jiashan, he was immediately surrounded by the peasant regiment of Ma Shouying's department, and soon the food was exhausted, and Zuo Liangyu in despair attempted suicide.

At this moment, Yu Zilian's Ruzhou army also arrived in a hurry, and Ma Shouying revealed a flaw, allowing Zuo Liangyu to lead the remnants to break through the siege, and fled in embarrassment to the direction of Guide. Ma Shouying pretended to pursue, causing Yu Zilian to hurriedly meet Zuo Liangyu's troops to the east, and once again opened the gap of the Ming army.

This battle of outwitting the enemy caused Zuo Liangyu's troops to plummet to 7,000, and completely boosted the morale of the peasant army, which was depressed because of Gao Yingxiang's killing, and the morale of the peasant army, rose again.

At this time, Cao Cao, Luo Rucai, and Liu Guoneng's peasant army took advantage of the opportunity of the Ming army to return to Kaifeng to re-enter Henan, and joined forces with Lao Hui and Ma Shouying.

Ma Shouying's sprint, the casualties of the troops were not large, but in the high-speed movement, more than 10,000 peasant troops were scattered. But now the remaining nearly 40,000 peasant troops in his army are all strong, and they can be called even stronger.

In the encirclement and suppression of the Ming army, Luo Rucai gave full play to the characteristics of his troops, and basically avoided the main force of the Ming army in the year-long battle, so his 20,000 soldiers and horses also had strong combat effectiveness.

As for Liu Guoneng, he now has more than 30,000 soldiers and horses, and he is also a relatively strong force in the peasant army.

As soon as these three peasant armies converged, they immediately began a reverse sprint under the command of Ma Shouying, aiming directly at Zhang Xianzhong's troops stationed west of Xiangyang.

In addition, the peasant armies of various battalions, such as Scorpion Block, Geli Eye, He Yilong, Zuojin Wang He Jin, Reincarnated King Liu Xiyao, and King Lin Yangcheng of the Troubled Times, also began to move towards Xiangyang, seeing that the next war would begin in Xiangyang.

However, Wu Shigong looked at this information as a bystander, but the defenders of Xiangyang and the governor of Huguang, Miao Yintu, were fascinated by the authorities. They still thought that Zhang Xianzhong's troops would surrender, and they didn't know that a catastrophe was coming.

"I thought that I could be stable at home for a few days, but I didn't expect Zuo Liangyu to be as stupid as a pig, and he also dragged down Yu Suanding's Ruzhou army, and their two troops were unreliable. It looks like our Runing Army is still going to move! Wu Shigong said with a smile.

Because of the departure of Lu Xiangsheng's Tianxiong army and Zu Kuan's Liao army, the peasant armies of Huguang and Henan had the upper hand, so in order to maintain balance, Wu Shigong decided to deal a certain blow to the peasant army.

"Uncle! So are we going to keep Xiangyang? "Xue Yongli, who doesn't know Wu Shigong's true thoughts, must be considered from a military point of view.

Wu Shigong shook his head: "It depends on the situation!" This time it is not only a military battle, but also requires the cooperation of other divisions. Uncle Wynn! Give you a day to work out the battle for Xiangyang. What is the specific purpose of bringing in the Shanchuan Division and the Military Intelligence Bureau, which support agriculture? I'll tell you personally. ”

Xue Yongli nodded, and then asked, "Then how many troops do we use this time?" ”

"Just Tiger Roar! Uncle Wynn, you will command. I'm closed, and it's not good to show up. However, I will be stationed in Xinyang with my own troops and the Runing Legion, and I will be ready to support you at any time. In this operation, we must get the wharf in Wuchang done. The big ships that Zheng Guerrilla made for us have already sailed into the mouth of the Yangtze River, so this matter must be solved anyway. ”

"What? Tang Liu's dock in Wuchang hasn't been completed yet? Xue Yongli asked strangely.

Wu Shigong nodded: "He was in trouble there, and the silver was spent, but he couldn't get the dock, and he suffered a lot of losses!" Without family support, it's inconvenient to do things! (To be continued......)
