After listening to Wu Shigong's words, the officials looked at each other, they knew the attitude of the imperial court towards Wu Shigong, and they also understood Wu Shigong's worries, but at this time, they also had to explain a thing or two to Wu Shigong.

It was still Senator Zhang who spoke: "Chief soldier Wu! It's still comfortable in the city, and there is always some discomfort in the barracks. Moreover, each of the commanders has their own residences in the city, and it is very convenient for the superintendent to be summoned. And tomorrow is the day when all the general soldiers arrive, and the Governor will raise the tent for the first time, but the city gate has been closed at night, and if it is outside the city, it will definitely not be able to reach it. This is not enough, but he has violated military law, so why should Wu Zongbing? Besides, the Governor also promised that the commander-in-chief could bring a hundred personal soldiers to protect the city, and there was a large army in the city to protect it, so there was definitely no need to worry about your safety. Otherwise, why did the Inspector go all the way to summon General Wu's soldiers? After tomorrow, the army will be dispatched, and General Wu will decide at will. You can live inside or outside the city. ”

Wu Shigong thought about it for a while, and felt that his nerves were indeed a little allergic. If the imperial court really wanted to be unfavorable to itself, it would absolutely not be possible to transfer itself to the key war zone -- Liaodong. Otherwise, if he can't control himself and causes a mutiny in the Runing army, the war situation in Liaodong will simply collapse, and the most elite army of the Ming army of more than 200,000 will be lost, which is simply a suicidal act, and his threat to the imperial court will definitely not be so great.

Therefore, as long as the safety of the main force of the Runing Army is ensured, he is also safe in the Shanhaiguan City. Therefore, Wu Shigong immediately ordered Yu Ji: "You take the army to camp and settle down quickly, and Chi Ming you pick a hundred people to follow this official." Mr. Side will live in the city with his own officials! ”

In this expedition of the Runing Army, Wu Shigong always needed a staff member who could write and come up with ideas, so he brought Zhou Junwu with him. After the public confession, Wu Shigong then summoned Yu Ji to his side, and he quietly ordered: "Pay attention! Our camp must be independent, and we must not get too close to other officers and soldiers. And also. Eating and drinking should be taken in turn to prevent poisoning, and more bright and dark sentinels should be put on at night. ”

"No!"

No matter how to judge safety, Wu Shigong still has to let Runing Jun be careful, this is indispensable to defend people!

Wu Shigong followed the senator to a mansion in the city. The house was purchased by the shopkeeper of a merchant house in the city, surnamed Chang. Although it is not big, it is quite elegant with mountains and rivers. Wu Shigong settled down under the leadership of the shopkeeper, and the servants had already been prepared in the house, and after boiling hot water, he was waiting for Wu Shigong to wash.

After saying goodbye to Senator Zhang, Wu Shigong's guards drove the slaves to the side room. I'm going to let the shopkeeper take it away later. Or for security reasons, Wu Shigong will not leave outsiders by his side.

The long journey was tiring, so Wu Shigong was refreshed after taking a hot bath. After changing into clean clothes, Wu Shigong waited for his loose wet hair to dry naturally, and then took out the list of Liaodong officials collected by the Military Intelligence Bureau. I studied it carefully.

Because of the limited funds and manpower, and the fact that it is not necessary for the time being. The Mountains and Rivers Division and the Military Intelligence Bureau of the Runing Army did not send secret agents to Liaodong at all. Even the Sihai Commercial Bank passed through Zhang Chunyu of Tongzhou and the semicolon of Beijing. Cooperate with the trading houses and caravans in Liaodong to do business. Therefore, the intelligence of Liaodong is simply a blank.

Therefore, the information that Wu Shigong is taking now is all collected by Zheng Ling through Di Bao, so it is very incomplete.

According to intelligence, there are three top officials in Liaodong. They are: Hong Chengchou, the governor of Jiliao, Fang Yizao, the governor of Liaodong, and Gao Qiqian, the eunuch of the imperial horse eunuch of the two towns of Guanning.

Wu Shigong analyzed this: Hong Chengchou, the governor of Jiliao, is the boss, and that must be the most important; As for Fang Yizao, the governor of Liaodong, Wu Shigong has not dealt with him before, and it is estimated that he will rarely deal with him in the future. So it can be ignored, as long as you don't offend him; As for the governor of Guanning and the eunuch Gao Qiqian, Wu Shigong also dealt with him during the Pingdenglai Rebellion, and the eunuch was quite upright, and there was no major contradiction with Wu Shigong, so he would not have any unfavorable behavior towards Wu Shigong.

However, seeing Gao Qiqian, Wu Shigong also sighed, he didn't expect him to be reactivated by Emperor Chongzhen so soon. It seems that Gao Qiqian is indeed trusted by Emperor Chongzhen, and his foundation in the Liaodong military general system is also quite deep-rooted.

Then Wu Shigong got to know his colleagues this time, the Eighth General Army. He first set his sights on Wu Sangui, the most famous Ningyuan general soldier in later generations.

Wu Sangui, the chief soldier of Ningyuan, is only twenty-seven years old, the youngest of all the general soldiers, and three years younger than Wu Shigong. What is rare is that he can be literate and martial, and he was admitted to martial arts before he was twenty years old, especially when he was sixteen years old, he took more than a dozen horsemen to save his besieged father, which was known and praised by Emperor Chongzhen, and he was a member of the new generation of Guanning Iron Cavalry.

Wu Sangui went from guerrilla, staff general to deputy general, and then to the general soldier, and his promotion was beyond the norm. First, it is related to his knowledge of literature and martial arts, and his ability to speak and speak, and it is also related to his father Wu Xiang and his uncle Zu Dashou is the chief soldier, and the other key is that Wu Sangui worships the imperial horse eunuch Gao Qiqian as his father-in-law.

Hong Chengchou, the governor of Jiliao, was transferred to Liaodong at the beginning of the year, and found that the Liao army lacked training, which affected its combat effectiveness, so he appointed Wu Sangui as the chief officer of military training and was responsible for military training. Therefore, Wu Sangui's ability to train troops and fight wars is beyond doubt. Moreover, the main force of the Liao army this time was basically trained by Wu Sangui, so his influence in the army should be the greatest.

Of course, Wu Shigong will not forget the few flirting feet given to Wu Sangui back then, and it is estimated that Wu Sangui will not forget Wu Shigong. So it's definitely impossible to get rid of the old suspicions.

However, Wu Shigong is not worried. There is the suppression of the governor Hong Chengchou and others, and he went to rescue Jinzhou, and there is Wu Sangui's uncle Zu Dashou in Jinzhou City, as long as Wu Sangui's head does not faint, he will definitely not openly break with Wu Shigong. Of course, Wu Shigong will also guard against Wu Sangui's non-cooperation and secretly committing crimes.

Yang Guozhu, the chief soldier of Xuanfu. Shi is the commander of the Yizhou Guard. In the second year of the Apocalypse, Hedong was lost, and his wife hanged herself. Yang Guozhu took his two sons to travel day and night, crossing the Yalu River into Phi Island. Mao Wenlong knew the talents of his father and son, and signed a military position. Wen Long died, and Yang Guozhu then took refuge in Yuan Chonghuan.

In the second entrance battle in the eleventh year of Chongzhen, Yang Guozhu entered Weijifu and followed the governor Lu Xiangsheng to fight in Jiazhuang. If you are promoted and defeated, the pillar of the country should be guilty. Afterwards, the scholar Liu Yuliang and the squire Sun Chuanting all said that they were under siege, and they were not compared to those who retreated from the enemy. It is to serve as an official, and to wear guilt and merit. Among them, Hong Chengchou also exerted his strength for Yang Guozhu's exoneration.

Yutian general soldier Cao Bianjiao, Cao Wenzhao's nephew, from Cao Wenzhao to accumulate military merits to guerrillas. After that, he followed Cao Wenzhao and made many achievements in the battle of encircling and suppressing the peasant army, and became Cao Wenzhao's right-hand man.

Later, after Cao Wenzhao died in battle, Cao Bianjiao independently won numerous merits in the battle with the peasant army, and became a powerful general under Hong Chengchou, the governor of the three sides at that time.

After the second entrance battle, the Jingshi was under martial law and summoned Hong Chengchou to enter the guard, and Cao Bianjiao and Zuo Guang followed first. Then they followed Hong Chengchou to Liaodong, and even Shaanxi used troops again. Governor Zheng Chongjian begged Cao to change Jiao's soldiers to return to the west, but Emperor Chongzhen did not allow it.

Jizhou general soldier Bai Guangen. He was the leader of a peasant army who initially rebelled with the Monkeys. Later, he defected to the Ming court, made many military exploits, and his official position rose all the way. Therefore, Bai Guangen's combat effectiveness and combat experience are quite high.

And Yang Guozhu, the chief soldier of Xuanfu, Cao Bianjiao, the chief soldier of Yutian, and Bai Guangen, the chief soldier of Jizhou, have all followed Hong Chengchou for a long time, or Hong Chengchou has been kind to him, so they are also Hong Chengchou's henchmen.

In addition, Wang Pu, the general soldier of Datong. His father, Wang Wei, was the governor of the left capital. Wang Pu was promoted to the rank of chief military officer in the shadow of his father. Wang Pu's personal martial arts have nothing to say, once a few horsemen slashed and killed more than a dozen Qing soldiers, but his command ability and situation judgment are quite clumsy, when the peasant army crossed the Yellow River by fraud and entered Henan, it was in Wang Pu to open a gap.

However, Wang Puqiren has another characteristic: he was pushed to the position of chief military officer by the Jin merchants in Shanxi. Therefore, he ignored the Jin merchants, and collected a lot of money in this way. As a result, the supply of materials and intelligence gathering of the Manchus outside the Guanxi were greatly improved. In this regard, Wang Pu is also "indispensable".

Miyun General Soldier Tang Tong. He was first the general soldier of Xuanhua, and then the general of Miyun, who has been guarding the capital and is a member of the Ming general trusted by Emperor Chongzhen. And his relationship with the DPRK and China is also quite deep.

Shanhaiguan General Soldier Ma Ke, former Tun Guard General Wang Tingchen. They are all generals of the Liao army. As local generals, they naturally formed a group with Wu Sangui. However, because they are not the descendants of the ancestral generals, they have cooperation with Wu Sangui, but there are some small differences.

In addition to these eight general soldiers, there are also independent generals such as Zuo Guangxian, the general soldier of Liaodong, and Liu Zhaoji, the general soldier of Liaodong. Together with Wu Shigong's Runing Army, it formed the main combat force of the Ming Army.

Because there was very little content, Wu Shigong quickly read it. Hearing that the owner of this mansion was still waiting outside the door, Wu Shigong ordered him to be summoned. He wanted to take advantage of the free time before the dinner to find a local to learn about the situation in Liaodong.

"Wu Dashuai! You can come to the humble house, and it really makes the little ones shine. The small one is here to congratulate the adults on their victory and confer the title of knight. "As a businessman, as soon as he saw Wu Shigong, the shopkeeper kowtowed and said a series of congratulatory words.

"Get up!" Everyone loves to hear these good words, so Wu Shigong smiled and said, "Sit down!" I have a few words to ask Mr. Chang. (To be continued......)
