When Lei Ying entered the lobby with the guards, he was a little bored in his heart. Lei Ying is already in his early forties, his family is a family of habitual bandits, and in Lei Ying's generation, he also has a certain amount of shili in the northern mountains of Runing Mansion and has accumulated a certain amount of wealth.

When Lei Ying lost his sincerity to Wu Shigong the year before last, he was actually preparing with both hands. It would be good if he could recruit an official soldier, but it would be good to take a step back and become a rich man. But Lei Ying didn't expect that although Wu Shigong accepted him, he still let him maintain his identity as a bandit.

But in the days that followed, with the support of Wu Shigong, Lei Ying became the bandit boss in the northern mountains of Runing Mansion. This was quite satisfying for Thunderhawk at that time. In addition, in the buying and selling of salt goods, Lei Ying was still able to get a piece of the pie, so Lei Ying at that time felt that he was simply fame and fortune.

But the good times didn't last long, when Wu Shigong took the army to King Qin, Lei Ying's biggest rival in his life, Li Harizi, returned to the northern mountains of Runing Mansion. Later, in the battle with Li Harrier, Lei Ying lost most of his men at once, and the bandit cottages that were originally attached to Lei Ying also changed their banners and joined Li Harrier's camp.

And now, Lei Ying's side is full of fights, and he can only make up more than 300 bandits who can fight. And Lei Ying lost the support of the fortress of Qianhusuo, if it weren't for the fact that Qian Qi still had a great threat to Li Harrier here, making it impossible for Li Harrier to completely let go of his hands and feet, Lei Ying might have been driven out of the northern mountains of Runing Mansion a long time ago.

Knowing that Wu Shigong came back with King Qin's army, and after hearing that after Wu Shigong came back, he killed those bandits in Guide Mansion and the methods were extremely vicious, Lei Ying was both happy and a little scared in his heart.

A few days ago, Wu Shigong sent someone to ask Lei Ying and the main leaders of his subordinates to rush to the fortress of Qianhusuo, Lei Ying did not dare to slack off, and immediately brought some gifts from the cottage to the fortress of Qianhusuo to ask to see Wu Shigong.

Lei Ying knew that Wu Shigong must have no ill intentions when he called him. But how Wu Shigong will arrange himself, Lei Ying has no bottom in his heart. Lei Ying estimated himself, now there is no one to shili, and there is no shili to shili, the biggest possibility is that Wu Shigong annexes his subordinates and makes himself idle.

Lei Ying, who has tasted power, still wanted to use his subordinates to exchange for some more haode conditions when he first set off. But after he walked into the fortress of Qianhusuo, he saw those murderous soldiers, and thought of Wu Shigong's ruthlessness when he killed Li Harrier, Lei Ying had completely given up resistance in his heart. He thought in his heart: "As long as Lord Wu keeps all my private property, how to arrange me, then I will admit it." ”

After Lei Ying walked into the lobby, he saw the young Lord Wu sitting in the middle, and immediately leaned over and kowtowed, and said, "The villain congratulates Lord Wu on his promotion." ”

After Wu Shigong waited for Lei Ying to finish kowtowing, he let Lei Ying get up and asked kindly, "How is your injury?" ”

"Lord Xie cares. The villain's life is cheap, and there is no big deal. ”

"That's good. This official was promoted to the garrison of Runing Mansion this time, and he was short of manpower to assist. This time, the official went north to King Qin, and only your cottage and the official will not give up. So, all your men are part of your army, right? Let's get a general position first. ”

Lei Ying was stunned for a moment, and he looked at Wu Shigong in a daze. Lei Ying didn't expect that he would suddenly realize his dream of recruiting an and become an official soldier.

What was even more unexpected to Lei Ying was that Wu Shigong actually gave Lei Ying the official position of general. You must know that although the official position of general is among the military attaches of the Ming army, he is only a middle- and low-level military attaché. But Lei Ying also knew that among the military attaches under Wu Shigong, the general was already a great official position.

At least Lei Ying knew that Qian Qi was also given a general official position this time. And at that time, in the mountainous area in the north of Runing Mansion, Lei Ying had to ask Qian Qi for instructions on any big and small things? And now he can be on an equal footing with Qian Qi.

Seeing Lei Ying's daze, the guards on the side coughed a few times to remind him. Lei Ying reacted suddenly, he immediately knelt down again, kowtowed to Wu Shigong excitedly and said, "Thank you, little man." Thank you, little man. The villain wishes the adults the prince Wandai! As he spoke, Lei Ying couldn't help but shed tears with a crying voice.

Wu Shigong motioned to the guards on the side to help Lei Ying up, and said with a smile: "As long as the person who is of the same mind as the official, the official will definitely not treat him badly." However, you also know that the military discipline of this officer is strict, and the promotion of military attachés is also very regular. This official gives you two options. One is to basically keep it as it is. But the official doesn't want to lie to you. Although this path is easier for you, you and your subordinates basically have no hope of promotion in the future. ”

"The other way is that you, as the officer's personal soldier, go to the personal soldier team and learn all the combat skills. and your men shall be dismantled. Although this road is more difficult, as long as you have military merits in the future, you will have the opportunity to seal your wife and children. Think carefully about which path you want to take. ”

After listening to Wu Shigong's words, Lei Ying knelt down again and said to Wu Shigong: "The adult pointed out a golden avenue to the villain, if the villain still doesn't appreciate it, is the villain still a human?" The villain is willing to be the adult's personal soldier and go to the soup for the adult. ”

When Lei Ying ended his meeting with Wu Shigong and came out to tell the leaders he brought the news that he had been recruited, those leaders were also full of laughter.

After Wu Shigong finished suppressing the bandits this time, he officially gave his subordinates official positions and gave them a farewell.

Xue Yongli will be the only Qianhu under Wu Shigong, and he will lead the horse team. Zhou Xun will become a deputy thousand households, leading the motorized infantry team. Another deputy Qianhu will be Xue Yong. He will be the ruler of the fortress of a thousand households. Moreover, as long as it is all the affairs of the territory of the Takfu, it must be reported to him.

The reason why Xue Yong, Wu Shigong's oldest guard captain, was mentioned to this position was that in the near future, the Qianhusuo Fortress would definitely be Wu Shigong's most important base.

In Guide Mansion, whether it is the militia group or Yu Ji's military households, they are actually Wu Shigong's side army. Wu Shigong needed to use the force of the fortress of Qianhusu to suppress them. Therefore, it is also quite important to choose a commander of the fortress of Qianhusuo who is quite loyal to Wu Shigong.

Yu Ji's military households don't need to mention him, Yu Ji and other military attaches already have the status of military attachés to Dewei. And the leader of the militia group, Wu Shigong chose an officer who was born as a gambling house guard - Cheng Yi. Collar Title.

In addition, it should be mentioned that this time Wu Shigong promoted a deputy leader of the militia named Guo Yun to lead the rank of general banner. He is a native of Guide Province. The reason for his promotion was not only Guo Yun's excellent performance in military assessments, but also because Guo Yun was the son of a local gentry. This was a move by Wu Shigong to appease and win over the local gentry after killing the three local gentry.

The leader of Li Harrier Cottage is still Qian Qi, the leader of the general. Liang Hui, the commander of the artillery team, led the commander-in-chief. Yang Rusong, who performed prominently in the battle of King Qin this time, was promoted several levels in a row and became Wu Shigong's personal guard commander and commander-in-chief.

And the exceptionally promoted was the Zug who gave a hunting strategy in Luanzhou City, and he was directly promoted to the position of captain of the hundred-man team, leading the rank of general flag.

The remaining officers also received official positions in the Ming Army. When Wu Shigong announced the list of official positions, all the officers who had been given official positions were elated. You must know that although in the past, they were all Wu Shigong's officers, but now that they have officially surrendered, they have finally become officials of the Ming Dynasty. How could this not make them overjoyed?

The next thing was for the military attachés to throw a banquet to celebrate their promotion. And the nearby gentry also came to congratulate them with gifts one after another. If Wu Shigong hadn't prepared to go to Runing Mansion, this banquet would have taken more than a month.

Of course, Wu Shigong also participated in several banquets of senior military attachés, and there is not much to say about the scenes of those banquets. It was something that happened that made Wu Shigong a little funny. In many places, the gentry offered to marry the women of their clan to those military attachés as wives and concubines. It really led to a couple of good marriages.

But Wu Shigong didn't expect that this Lalang match would happen to him. During a banquet, Lu Yunhuan, who was attending the banquet, pulled Wu Shigong to the side, claiming that he wanted to marry one of his nieces to Wu Shigong as a concubine.

Wu Shigong understood Lu Yunhuan's thoughts. This time, the salt merchant in Yangzhou did not raise the price of salt for Lu Yunhuan, but raised the price of his own salt. It is absolutely impossible to be a little tired without Lu Yunhuan. Lu Yunhuan is thinking of making up for his relationship, and even the previous proposal he proposed to marry a woman in his clan has raised a notch and wants to marry one of his nieces.

However, although Lu Yunhuan did not publicly target Wu Shigong, he may have some unspeakable secrets in this matter, but Wu Shigong always felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. And now if Wu Shigong wants to accept the woman of the Lu family, it is absolutely impossible.

So, Wu Shigong smiled and politely rejected Lu Yunhuan. Wu Shigong thought to himself: "I am a noble person from the Hou Mansion, and I am a woman from your Lu family, a rich man's family, can I come in if I want to?" ”

Before packing up and preparing to move to Runing Mansion, Wu Shigong summoned Xue Zhinong alone. After meeting, Wu Shigong praised Xue Zhinong's good performance in investigating the bandit situation before this crackdown, and said to Xue Zhinong: "Regarding the matter of Shanchuan Hall, my uncle and I think so. Either you don't do it, or you can do it well. Uncle, I think this should be the case with this Shanchuan Hall. ”
