At this time, in Wu Shigong's heart, the feeling of not being able to control his fate has returned.

At that time, when Wu Shigong knew that the new emperor was Emperor Chongzhen, he experienced the mental process of not being able to control his own destiny for the first time after crossing over.

At that time, Wu Shigong was not the most worried that Emperor Chongzhen would come to their family to settle accounts because of his father-in-law Xue Lian and his own Wei Party identity. What he is most worried about are two things: one is that Li Zicheng broke through the capital, Emperor Chongzhen hanged himself on the coal mountain, and Li Zicheng killed Xungui again; The other is: Wu Sangui rebelled, and the Jin army entered Shanhaiguan after release, and the Zuihou Manchus unified China and established the Qing Dynasty.

Because no matter which of these two things happens, the Xue family of the Marquis of Yangwu and the Wu family of the Marquis of Gongshun, who are resting with the court, will be wiped out.

And Wu Shigong did everything possible to leave the capital and arrived at Guide Mansion. Wu Shigong sent people out to inquire several times unobtrusively. But when those people came back, they all told that they had never heard of it, and among the famous people now, there were the names of "Li Zicheng" and "Wu Sangui".

But now, Wu Shigong has been working hard in Qianhu for nearly two years. With the complete completion of the fortress of Qianhusuo, Wu Shigong pulled up the force of more than 2,000 people, and Wu Shigong finally had more than a little self-confidence.

In Wu Shigong's heart, with his own capital, Wu Shigong could finally save his life and the safety of his family in the turbulent era at the end of the Ming Dynasty.

But what this pro-soldier said today suddenly pulled Wu Shigong's heart into the abyss. Why didn't Li Zicheng hit the capital? Why didn't there be Wu Sangui, and the Tartars would enter the customs from Shanhaiguan (Wu Shigong didn't know that the Houjin army could enter the mainland without passing through Shanhaiguan)? Why did the Tatars hit the capital, and it was the Jurchens and the Mongols who fought together (Wu Shigong didn't know that the Later Jin Army had always been a coalition army composed of Manchus and Mongolians, and in the later period, there were also Han Eight Banners and Korean vassal armies of the Han people)?

Now Wu Shigong feels as if he is in a dream. Could it be that the Ming Dynasty that I crossed through was not the Ming Dynasty in history before I crossed over?

Wu Shigong, who wants to be there, is very unconfident. However, Wu Shigong's psychological adjustment ability is indeed very strong. He thought: "No matter what, I'd better go to Guide Mansion City first and find Old Man Zhao Ming to understand the situation clearly." ”

So, Wu Shigong said to this personal soldier: "You wait for a while, wait for the official to change his official robe, and then go to Fucheng together." ”

Seeing that Wu Shigong agreed, the pro-soldier who knelt on the ground breathed a sigh of relief.

Wu Shigong took the guards and hurried to the Guide Wei Yamen in the city that night. After hearing the news of Wu Shigong's arrival, the old man Zhao Ming was unusual, leading all the military attaches of more than 1,000 households to the Yamen to greet Wu Shigong's arrival.

After seeing this abnormal scene, Wu Shigong secretly complained in his heart: "Bad! It seems that this old man Zhao Ming wants to take my thousand households as the main force. ”

But it was not convenient to speak at the entrance of the yamen, so Wu Shigong followed Zhao Ming and others to the lobby. While walking, Wu Shigong decided on the side: when he discussed it later, he would definitely not use his own troops. Even if I spend a lot of money, I will also throw some brave men from the other thousand households.

Wu Shigong just wanted to preserve his strength. However, Wu Shigong was still too optimistic.

After entering the lobby, Zhao Ming introduced Wu Shigong to the other military attaches of Gui Dewei one by one. After everyone saluted and greeted, everyone finally sat down and began to deliberate.

First of all, Zhao Ming said: "Some of you may already know, and some may not know yet. Ten days ago, the Tartars had broken through the Great Wall and entered the interior. Now it may have hit the city of Beijing. The emperor is in trouble, and the edict is the king of the world. And the governor and the supervisor also ordered us to return to Dewei, and asked Wei to send 1,500 soldiers to the capital to Qinwang on a certain day. What do you think? ”

After finishing speaking, Zhao Ming looked around. But all the military attachés did not open their mouths. Who would be a fool and a bird at this time!

Seeing that his words were not interacted with, Zhao Ming was a little embarrassed. No way, just name it. He skipped the other military attaches and asked Wu Shigong directly, "Wu Qianhu, what do you think?" ”

Wu Shigong became angry as soon as he heard Zhao Ming's question. How's that? Zhao Ming, these natives who have returned to Dewei, want to bully me, an outsider? Wu Shigong jumped up from his chair at once. However, if he offends his colleagues, Wu Shigong will not say it.

Wu Shigong asked rhetorically, "Commander Zhao." Why don't so many soldiers in Henan go to King Qin? Why do we have to go to King Qin? ”

Zhao Ming was even more embarrassed by Wu Shigong's rhetorical question. At this time, Zhao Ming's heart was also on fire. This time, Henan did not use soldiers, but used local military households to go to King Qin, in fact, Zhao Ming was very clear in his heart.

Henan is located in the Central Plains, which is relatively safe, and there are not many soldiers. And because there are too many vassal kings in Henan. In order to be afraid of the rebellion of those vassal kings, this time there were many soldiers left behind to monitor the actions of those vassal kings.

Moreover, this was not only the idea of the yamen at all levels in Henan, but also the direct order of Emperor Chongzhen and the imperial court. However, the Henan troops who went to King Qin could not be very small, so the military households of various guards in Henan were unlucky to be pushed to the forefront.

Of course, Wu Shigong didn't know such a complicated background. However, Zhao Ming could not explain these reasons to Wu Shigong in public. Therefore, Zhao Ming could only divert the topic and start an official tone.

"The emperor and the court are in trouble, and it is our duty to go to King Qin. Now that the orders of the governor and the supervisor have reached the hands of the commander, the generals at all levels of the guard must obey them. Okay, now this commander will arrange for each thousand households to be transferred to the army of King Qin. ”

Zhao Ming pressed down with such a big hat, and everyone, including Wu Shigong, was silent. But when Zhao Ming announced: Each of the other thousand households only needs to draw out 225 soldiers, and Wu Shigong, the thousand households, wants to draw 600 soldiers, Wu Shigong immediately jumped up from the chair again.

Wu Shigong thought in his heart: "It's too bullying." Even if you want to bully me, a foreigner, you can't bully me so blatantly! ”

Wu Shigong shouted to Zhao Ming: "Commander Zhao." No negotiable! Either send 300 people to each house, or I will not send people to my thousand households. After saying this, Wu Shigong sat back in the chair, crossed his hands, crossed Erlang's legs, and put on a look of ignoring him.

Wu Shigong's confrontation made Zhao Ming's face blue and red. And the thousands of households who sat next to Wu Shigong who got cheap all persuaded Wu Shigong one after another, and kept saying something "Wu Qianhu is a young hero!" ", "Wu Qianhu's tiger and wolf soldiers" these words. Wu Shigong just ignored it, and simply died the pig not afraid of boiling water.

When he arrived at Zuihou, Zhao Ming was also angry. He slapped the table and yelled at Wu Shigong: "You think the old man is bullying a brother in Weili!" This is the name directly named by the governor and the overseer. Not only do you want your horse team to go, but you also want to go yourself. ”

After shouting this, Zhao Ming took out two letters from his arms, threw them to Wu Shigong, and then said, "Take a good look at it yourself!" ”

Zhao Ming's sudden anger surprised Wu Shigong. Puzzled, he picked up the two letters on the ground, pulled out the letterhead, and read them.

Those two letters were indeed written by the governor and the supervisor, and Wu Shigong was surprised to find that these two lords had indeed named Wu Shigong and his horse team to join King Qin's team in the letter.

In fact, it is not surprising that this situation has happened. The last time the Holy Spirit Society rebelled against the people, the combat effectiveness of Wu Shigong and his cavalry left a deep impression on these two adults. And this time, among the Qinwang army dispatched by Henan, there is always to take out some troops from the past. Otherwise, how could the governor of Henan and the Henan prison army rest assured?

After reading the letter, Wu Shigong was dumbfounded. Now that you've been named, let's face it. However, seeing that Wu Shigong was soft, Zhao Ming suddenly changed his smiling face and said to Wu Shigong: "Wu Qianhu, if you lead the Qinwang army of this guard this time, if you have any requirements now, as long as this commander can do it, it will be absolutely unambiguous." ”

"Huh?" Wu Shigong felt that something was wrong when he listened to it. Why is the Qinwang army that returned to Dewei led by himself this time? Didn't you go under the command of Dewei and make Zhao Ming lead the team?

Seeing Wu Shigong's questioning eyes looking at him, Zhao Ming coughed a few times to hide his expression, and then said in a soothing tone: "Originally, this time King Qin, this commander was going to personally lead the team. However, there must be someone to guard it here! It's true that the conductor can't leave. Besides, this conductor is also old, and his waist and legs are not good these days, even if he goes out for a walk, he is also out of breath when he comes back. And Wu Qianhu is young and promising, only those who are capable work hard! ”

But Wu Shigong was still unrelenting, and he then asked: "Even if Commander Zhao doesn't go, what about these adults?" ”

In the guard of the Ming Dynasty, in addition to the highest commander, there were also commanders and commanders, and these thousands of households were obtained later. Why did he skip the command and command of the same knowledge and command affairs all of a sudden, and went directly to Wu Shigong, a thousand households?

Wu Shigong's question made the Gui Dewei Commander and the commander also blush, but they also used their old age and illness to excuse themselves. Zhao Ming also helped them speak again and again, and they kept touting Wu Shigong.

Seeing that Gui Dewei and these officials were indeed old men, Wu Shigong was no longer tightly pressing. However, Wu Shigong's heart was very contemptuous. He thought, "You old men now know that you have heart disease and high blood pressure, why don't you think about your own body when you marry a concubine a year?" You all deserve to die on a woman's belly. ”

Wu Shigong thought about it carefully, and finally made a decision. He said, "All right! Let me lead the team, then I'll lead the team! ”
