After Xue Yufei finished the rules and let Mei Yun and Qiongniang withdraw from the big tent, Xue Yufei immediately put aside the solemn appearance of the eldest woman just now, and flew into Wu Shigong's arms like a bird.

Facing Wu Shigong's indecent hands, Xue Yufei immediately panted. However, she struggled to stop Wu Shigong's further actions, and said to Wu Shigong: "Husband, how are you doing in the evening?" ”

Wu Shigong also felt that he was too anxious. After all, it is still daytime, and many subordinates will come to the big tent to do things for themselves. Anyway, it's night, it's a long night, and there's no need to be anxious now.

So before dinner, Wu Shigong took Xue Yufei to the camp for a casual stroll. There's nothing else to go anywhere else. Wu Shigong took Xue Yufei to his stable.

Now in Wu Shigong's own stable, in addition to Wu Shigong's own war horse, people are crazy, there is also a horse that was rescued from the battlefield that day and broke a leg.

After the horse was rescued, the veterinarian saw that the horse's broken leg could no longer be saved, so he cut off the leg. Unexpectedly, the horse's vitality was very tenacious, and it survived after a large blood loss. Wu Shigong also placed the horse in his stable, so that it could recover well.

Seeing Wu Shigong's arrival, the horse lying on the haystack to recuperate immediately raised his head excitedly. Wu Shigong took out a handful of black beans from the cloth bag hanging on the wooden pillar on the side and fed it to the horse. And the people on the side came crazy and put their heads in front of their masters.

Wu Shigong smiled and patted the crazy head, and scolded with a smile: "You gluttonous guy, get out of the way." But scolding and scolding, Wu Shigong still took out a handful of black beans and fed them to people to go crazy.

When Xue Yufei saw the broken leg of the horse, his motherhood immediately overflowed. She pitifully touched the horse's mane and grabbed a handful of black beans to feed the horse. While feeding, he said, "Little pity, you eat slowly." ”

The couple started talking while feeding the horses. Xue Yufei asked Wu Shigong: "Husband, when can you go back to the capital?" ”

Wu Shigong shook his head and said, "It's impossible in a short period of time. Don't say that I have an errand on my body, just this time the Tartars hit the capital, it can be seen that the capital is not very safe. I have already discussed it with Master Hou. I'm in Henan, so I'll find a way out for our Xue Mansion. In case ......, alas! Let's hope it doesn't have to be a chance. It's just that it hurts you. ”

After dinner, the couple went to bed early, and the big tent was full of spring. After the passion passed, Xue Yufei lay on Wu Shigong's chest and rested quietly.

Wu Shigong stroked Xue Yufei's long hair and asked, "How is your son?" ”

"Lin'er is very skinny. The Hou Ye and his wife are so spoiled that he is not the same. is in trouble every day, but his father is not around and is a little pitiful. Xue Yufei took the opportunity to persuade Wu Shigong to return to the capital.

Wu Shigong pretended not to understand and said, "It's not a problem for boys to be active. But in the next year or two, it's time to find a gentleman to teach him. Don't just teach him to read and write. You also need to learn a little bit of kung fu with bows, horses, fists and feet. I have also laid some foundation in Henan, and I don't want that kid to inherit it when the time comes. ”

Hearing Wu Shigong's words, Xue Yufei raised his head suddenly, and his eyes were shining. She quickly kissed Wu Shigong on the cheek, and then shy back into Wu Shigong's arms.

Wu Shigong continued: "I've suffered you all these years, and even the Xue Mansion has helped subsidize me with more than six thousand taels of silver. This time, I sold land in Luanzhou and got some silver, so I left 10,000 taels in Xuefu. ”

Many of the guards that Wu Shigong brought out of the capital at that time deposited the excess silver around him to Wu Shigong and asked Wu Shigong to take them back to his home in the capital. And Wu Shigong did not bring a lot of silver back to the capital, but just sent back a bill, and his father-in-law Xue Lian helped Wu Shigong pay it on his behalf.

Xue Yufei drew a circle on Wu Shigong's chest with his fingers and said, "It's nothing. Hou Ye also said that the husband is living a hard life in Henan, and the Xue Mansion can afford it. ”

After a while, Xue Yufei finally couldn't hold back and asked: "I heard that my husband married several concubines in Henan." The concubine also brought some gifts for those sisters and children this time. But why is there another Qiong Niang today? ”

Wu Shigong was a little embarrassed after hearing this. He had no choice but to divert the topic and say, "Actually, I miss you very much, too." When I settle down when I go back this time, I'll take you over and live with you. ”

"Hmm!" Xue Yufei nodded happily, and then said with some anxiety: "What about Lin'er?" ”

"If he's older, let him come along."

"Husband, there is one more thing to discuss with you. Mei Yun and they are all older, how do you arrange them? ”

Wu Shigong was very strange, he replied: "You can call the shots in this matter." Just find them a good family to marry. ”

"It's not like that. Some of them don't want to marry and want to follow us. Xue Yufei was also a little cautious, she and Wu Shigong had very little time to get together, so she wanted her big girls to stay by Wu Shigong's side like Zhu Yun and be a solid favor for Xue Yufei.

"You can do it." Wu Shigong was unwilling to use his brains for such a trivial matter, Wu Shigong continued, "I entrust you with one thing, this time you go back to Beijing and bring Xue Qiang and those dead guards back to Xue Mansion." They have to take good care of their families, and there are too many people who have died in this Tartar. ”

Finding that Wu Shigong's mood was a little low, Xue Yufei rubbed Wu Shigong with his smooth body, Wu Shigong's interest suddenly came up again, he turned over and pressed Xue Yufei underneath......

Wu Shigong and Xue Yufei passed a total of four days like these immortals, and at this time, the father-in-law of Qin, who had passed the holy message, accompanied by Qin Liangyu, Ma Xianglin and another deputy chief soldier of the white pole soldiers, passed through Luanzhou City and returned to Beijing. Xue Yufei could only reluctantly part with Wu Shigong.

Wu Shigong asked Qin Liangyu and them to bring the coffins of Xue Qiang and a dozen other seriously wounded soldiers and the dozen soldiers living in the capital back to the Xue Mansion in the capital. and instructed Xue Yufei to take good care of these wounded and arrange the aftermath of the deceased.

After Qin Liangyu left, the Ming army of King Qinqin also returned in some places, passing by Luanzhou City. When those generals in the Ming army learned that Wu Shigong had nearly five hundred Tartar heads in his hands, they all asked Wu Shigong to buy them.

The current Wu Shigong is already very clear about the market of the Tartar head. He already knew the news of his promotion from Gonggong Qin, and he knew that this promotion, as long as he had about a hundred Tartar heads in his hands, it was enough. Therefore, Wu Shigong agreed to the purchase request of those generals.

However, there was no shortage of silver in Wu Shigong's hands now, so Wu Shigong proposed to those generals to exchange horses, armor and artillery for these Tartar heads.

But horses and armor were the foundation of those generals, and these generals were not willing to exchange. Only in exchange for artillery they are still interested. Of course, they are absolutely unwilling to exchange things like the general's cannon and the general's cannon, and what they are willing to exchange is the small-caliber Tiger Squat Cannon and the Franc machine gun.

In the end, Wu Shigong used nearly 400 Tartar heads to exchange for twenty-three Tiger Squat Cannons and Franc Machine Cannons. And seeing Wu Shigong's expression of loss, those generals also gave Wu Shigong a large amount of gunpowder.

In addition, as gifts, those generals also gave Wu Shigong more than a dozen craftsmen who could repair artillery. This made Wu Shigong like a treasure.

From this point of view, among the generals of the Ming army at that time, they were still sure of the role of large-caliber artillery in the siege. But they did grossly underestimate the role of small artillery in field warfare. He also despised those craftsmen who could build artillery. However, Wu Shigong knew that since those craftsmen could repair artillery, they would definitely shoot artillery, and with a little training, they would be a qualified artilleryman.

After Qin Liangyu arrived in the capital, Emperor Chongzhen summoned her on the platform again. In this summons, Emperor Chongzhen personally gave Qin Liangyu three imperial poems that he wrote by hand.

After the cabinet deliberation and the approval of Emperor Chongzhen, the reward for the meritorious soldiers who recovered the four cities of Yongping this time also came down quickly. Wu Shigong was transferred to the garrison of Runing Mansion because he stopped the reinforcements of the Houjin army when he conquered Luanzhou City, and he had nearly a hundred Tartar heads.

However, although Wu Shigong's garrison of Runing Mansion was rated at 2,200 soldiers, because Runing Mansion originally had a local thousand-household office, and this thousand-household garrison would also be assigned to Wu Shigong's command, so Wu Shigong could only get the salary of 1,200 soldiers.

And this arrangement of the imperial court is nothing more than following the principle of the big and small system. Because in this way, in fact, Wu Shigong basically has no influence on the thousand households in Runing Mansion.

However, Wu Shigong is quite satisfied with this appointment. Because Wu Shigong's current foundation is completely in the Qianhu House near Runing Mansion in Guide Mansion, as well as in the northern mountainous area of Runing Mansion. By controlling his apprentice Tao Xin, Wu Shigong could expand his territory without losing his original foundation. And he can get some military salaries from the imperial court, and he can raise more soldiers.
