The next day, Wu Shigong was still a little evasive and didn't dare to approach Qin Liangyu, the tigress, but Qin Liangyu took the initiative to wave to Wu Shigong.

After Wu Shigong leaned over, Qin Liangyu gently patted Wu Shigong's head with his hand, and scolded with a smile: "Stinky boy, you dared to talk back yesterday." ”

After finishing speaking, Qin Liangyu tidied up the official robe for Wu Shigong and advised: "The matter of the loyal monarch is not negotiable, but you have to take care of yourself." This time, the old man went to Liaodong and tried to bring you a piece of fur, and also brought some Dongzhu for your children to play with. Aren't we, the older generation, fighting to the death, trying to make your younger generation live a good life? ”

Wu Shigong also revealed his true feelings, he knelt down and kowtowed to Qin Liangyu three times, and said, "Godmother, you also take care." ”

Then, Wu Shigong stood up and said to Ma Xianglin: "Brother Ma, there is nothing to take as a brother, so I will give you these firearms." Keep in mind that the firebolt is very limited when used alone, but when used with a white gun, it often works wonders. When it comes to war, Brother Ma is more expert than me, so you can just explore it when the time comes. ”

Ma Xianglin was also very excited when he saw the fifty heavy firearms sent by Wu Shigong's soldiers. Ma Xianglin is not very good at words, he can only clasp his hands tightly with Wu Shigong.

Although Ma Xianglin is also going to the capital, he still has to give his mother a ride. So Wu Shigong led his army to say goodbye to Qin Liangyu and Ma Xianglin. Riding on the horse, Wu Shigong recalled the bits and pieces of his interactions with Qin Liangyu and Ma Xianglin, and when he thought of the interesting places, he couldn't help but have some smiles on his face.

Suddenly, Wu Shigong remembered that he had called Qin Liangyu an "old woman". Of course, the current Wu Shigong knew Qin Liangyu's great name among the generals of the Ming Dynasty, but when Wu Shigong set off from Guide Mansion at that time, let alone Qin Liangyu, even the other generals of the Ming Dynasty couldn't name a few names.

That's not going to work. In modern times, when Wu Shigong mixed the rivers and lakes, he still had to memorize the "hero genealogy" on the rivers and lakes, and now that he is an official, he should always know the names of the famous ministers and generals in the officialdom.

But in the era of the Ming Dynasty, there was no news broadcast, and Wu Shigong didn't know where to find these news for a while. So, Wu Shigong called Deng Qifan over for advice, and after Deng Qifan listened, it was no surprise that Wu Shigong often asked these questions without common sense.

Deng Qifan patiently explained to Wu Shigong that the imperial court of the Ming Dynasty would issue a kind of palace newspaper. In the Di Bao, the policies of the Ming court, the changes of officials, and major events in various places are recorded. The newspaper will be distributed to all yamen. There is one in Yu Zilian's county office, and Wu Shigong only needs to send someone to copy it.

In addition, the old newspapers copied in the yamen were also copied in various bookstores and sold to local scholars and gentry, so that they could also understand the movements of the imperial court.

Wu Shigong understands that the Ming Dynasty also has a "People's Daily". As an official, I should indeed make up for this lesson and develop a good habit of reading official newspapers.

At this time, Wu Shigong heard He Fei next to him happily singing a small song, and this little song was indeed a little song with obscene words, the words were not subtle at all, and they were very straightforward. He Fei's little song provoked the surrounding soldiers to cheer, and He Fei sang more energetically.

When He Fei wanted to do another song at the request of the audience, Wu Shigong called him over. Wu Shigong scolded with a smile: "You are about to become a leader, and you are not in shape yet." ”

He Fei also replied with a smile: "Master, there is a line of life and death on the way here, and now on the way back, let the brothers be happy." Besides, my lord, this time we have won a big victory! ”

"A big win?" Wu Shigong was a little puzzled, this He Fei's sycophant was too much. To be honest, Wu Shigong is still a little distressed by the casualties of his soldiers.

"Why isn't it a big win? Master, we have only killed and injured more than 300 people, and we have killed 500 Tartars, and the little one once inquired, and for so many years, there have not been many generals who have had such a big victory. It's a pity for Changlin, but now that he sees our spirit in the sky, he will definitely laugh out loud. ”

Wu Shigong let out a long sigh and thought that this was indeed the case. The Tartar used to be boasted by the Ming army as having three heads and six arms, but he fought against them, and when the number of people was about the same, it was good to be able to have such a result. Besides, from the point of view of boosting the morale of his soldiers, publicizing such a great victory is definitely beneficial and harmless.

Wu Shigong waved his hand and asked He Fei to return to his team. Wu Shigong looked at the white clouds floating in the sky, looked at the soldiers who were giggling, and the knot in his heart was also untied. This battle seems to be really worth it.

What Wu Shigong didn't know was that through this battle with the Tartars, especially the death collision with the Tartar cavalry, the fierceness in the bones of Wu Shigong's soldiers was suddenly stimulated.

In fact, our nation has always had a fierce spirit in its bones. As an agrarian people, it extends to the East China Sea in the east; south to the South China Sea and primeval forests; west to plateaus and deserts; North to the steppe. As long as our nation can see the land that can be cultivated, it has been seized by our nation.

It's just that due to the limitations of natural conditions, there is no place to grab for a long time, and Confucianism suppresses the ferocity of our nation, so when fighting against foreign races, it is often in a passive situation.

However, as soon as the conditions are ripe and the ferocity of our nation is aroused, tremendous energy will be immediately aroused. And the same is true of Wu Shigong's army now. It can be said that by now, Wu Shigong's army finally has its own military soul.

According to the arrangement of the imperial court, this time Wu Shigong's army returned to Defu by boat through Tongzhou, so the army once again passed through the capital.

When he arrived in the capital, Wu Shigong camped his army far away for a day in accordance with the rules of the imperial court. On the one hand, Wu Shigong waited for Xue Mansion and Wu Mansion to send the silver from the sale of land, and on the other hand, Wu Shigong also wanted to store the surplus more than 8,000 stone grain and materials around him in the Zhuangzi outside the capital of Xue Mansion, and then slowly transport them back to Defu in the future.

Also, Wu Shigong also sent people to the capital to collect some newspapers and seize the time to study. In addition, Wu Shigong also sent people to rush to Guide Mansion by land, so that Guide Mansion was ready to meet him. Of course, he also sent people to Tongzhou to find Zhang Chunyu and asked him to arrange ships for his army.

After resting for a day, Wu Shigong did everything properly and rushed to Tongzhou again. On the way to Tongzhou, Wu Shigong did not ride a horse, he and Qiongniang sat in the carriage, looking at the newspapers brought from the capital.

Wu Shigong sat in the carriage, holding the newspaper in one hand and watching, and the other hand wrapped around Qiongniang's waist, slowly, his hand touched Qiongniang's peak, and his fingers gently twisted the peak. And Qiong Niang also fell completely soft in Wu Shigong's arms.

Suddenly, Wu Shigong saw the name of the leader of the rebellion in Shaanxi in the newspaper, and in this long list of names, there was a name that Wu Shigong was familiar with -- Li Zicheng, a general.

Under the nervousness, Wu Shigong's hand unconsciously used force, and he grabbed Qiongniang's peak fiercely. Qiongniang couldn't help but "hum" out loud.

Wu Shigong didn't care about Qiongniang on the side, he stood up, loosened Qiongniang's waist, looked at the newspaper carefully, and couldn't help sweating on his forehead.

When King Qin was the king this time, the Ming army drove the Houjin army out of the pass, and Wu Shigong did not hear the name Li Zicheng for a long time. In Wu Shigong's heart, he thought a little luckily: "Is it his own crossing that led to the change in the history of the Ming Dynasty, so the Ming Dynasty will not perish, and his rich life will also live for a lifetime." ”

But now that Li Zicheng really appeared, Wu Shigong knew that he had indeed reached the turbulent era of changing the dynasty. Wu Shigong's sense of urgency that had just slackened suddenly became tightened again.

Until noon, when the army arrived at a crossroads to rest, Wu Shigong's spirit was still in a trance.

The soldiers were all sitting on both sides of the road eating dry food, and Wu Shigong entered a teahouse next to the crossroads. Wu Shigong sat in the teahouse, drinking tea and eating the dishes on the table, and did not pay attention to the chatter and laughter of the officers sitting at the same table.

All Wu Shigong is doing now is nothing more than to protect himself in this turbulent era. But if you want to protect yourself, you have to face the two great enemies like a mountain of Tartar and Li Zicheng. At that time, how many of the officers sitting next to Wu Shigong and the soldiers sitting on both sides of the road could survive? Even Wu Shigong still has doubts about whether he can survive the confrontation with them.

But after all, Wu Shigong is a nobleman, and there is no room for mediation between him and these two enemies. Besides, Wu Shigong was also imperceptibly influenced by Qin Liangyu, saying that he now has a very strong idea of loyalty to the monarch, which is not necessarily, but the betrayal of the Ming Dynasty and Emperor Chongzhen, Wu Shigong can't do it for a moment.

So should I work hard for this damn Ming Dynasty and this damn emperor? Wu Shigong was in turmoil.

Suddenly, Wu Shigong became irritable, and he waved his hand to get out of the way of the officers sitting at the table. Then he shook his hand and swept all the dishes on the table to the ground.

Wu Shigong carried the empty table, and moved the table to the intersection under the surprised eyes of the officers and soldiers around him. Wu Shigong jumped on the table and looked into the distance. He looked east, then south, then west, then north, east, south, west, and north......
