But seeing that Wu Shigong has always had the upper hand, Yu Zilian can't get angry after all, so he has to put forward his own conditions in turn: "That official also has one thing for Vice General Wu to accept!" ”

"Oh?" Wu Shigong was also a little strange. Didn't Yu Zilian tell who helped whom? So he asked: "Yu Zhizhou, please speak!" ”

"The rest is up to you! But one thing is different. Those who descended were all landless people, except for the stubborn ones who were severely punished, and the rest of the people hoped that they would inspire the emperor. Adjutant General Wu's division of law does not disagree. Let the descenders choose their own camp! ”

Wu Shigong glanced at Yu Zilian and understood that what Yu Zilian said before was some nonsense, and the key thing was the latter words, that is, Yu Zilian wanted to select more prisoners and expand the strength of the Ruzhou Army again.

In this regard, Wu Shigong didn't care, because during the pacification, the Runing Army captured enough prisoners, but Wu Shigong would not let Yu Zilian choose all the strong, but put the burden on his own Runing Army. So Wu Shigong replied: "Yes! But only the strong can choose themselves, and the old and weak are divided according to the proportion of the strong. ”

Wu Shigong smiled secretly, Yu Zilian will definitely steal chickens and rice. Although the captives captured by Wu Shigong were all used as serfs and mine slaves, after all, they lived a stable life and would not starve to death, and only those with brains would choose Yu Zilian's Ruzhou army.

But Wu Shigong definitely didn't expect that it was not those captives who were brain-pumping, but himself. When the meeting was over, Yu Zilian sent people to the prisoner camp to mobilize, and all those prisoners were thrown into the Ruzhou army.

Wu Shigong absolutely didn't know that his reputation was different from inside and outside, plus the prisoners who didn't know about the Runing Army always believed in civilian officials, and there were soldiers from the Ruzhou Army to promote their beloved Yu Zhizhou, so the Runing Army, which didn't do any publicity, didn't get any prisoners at all. When Yu Zilian sent the old and weak captives back to Ruzhou, he chose to be strong and strong, and even pulled up an army of 8,000.

Wu Shigong was stunned. I was embarrassed to break the promise, so I could only watch the Ruzhou Army recover. Wu Shigong couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart: Was Yu Zilian a cockroach in his previous life?

At this time, Lu Xiangsheng had succeeded as the governor of the five provinces, and the new governor of Henan, Li Xianfeng, had also taken office.

But these things have nothing to do with Wu Shigong and Yu Zilian. After all, one of them is stationed in Runing, and the other is the governor of Ruzhou, so no matter what, they must first ensure the peace of their own area.

Therefore, after cleaning up the battlefield and playing the battle report, the two armies did not pursue the defeated Ma Shouying Department at all. They returned in groups, each going home. Wu Shigong also took the lead and returned to Runing on 23 August with his own personal army.

This time, when the Runing Army passed through Yexian, it will leave behind the rotational training corps, and then it will transfer new rotational training troops to each regiment to replace the units that have already been rotated. Form a new rotational training legion.

And Zhou Xun will also rush to Ye County to unify the command of the troops in Ye County. In the future, Wu Shigong will not often go on expeditions. It is necessary to temper the independent command ability of the generals under him.

Back home. Wu Shigong first took stock of what he had gained, and it should be said that it greatly exceeded the prior estimate. What makes Wu Shigong even happier is that the business of the Runing Army Headquarters is also booming, and now the income has begun to exceed the expenses of the Runing Army. And the Runing Army finally had a hematopoietic function, which also made Wu Shigong finally no longer worry about financial problems.

In order to prevent the restlessness of the house, Wu Shigong was quite clean this time. Rejected the beautiful woman chosen by his officers among the captives. But that's it, Wu Shigong also encountered troubles, his housekeeper Liu Yuan was punished by Deng Qifan and beaten with a cane.

Why? Of course, it's Wu Shigong's love for Li's mother's golden house! In fact, Wu Shigong's actions were outside. Although he thought that what he was doing was very hidden, it had already spread all over the inner house, but those ladies pretended to be deaf and dumb in front of Wu Shigong.

But as soon as Wu Shigong left, Wu Shigong's wives took action, and they passed the news to Deng Qifan's ears intentionally or unintentionally through the guards of the inner house.

Deng Qifan was immediately furious, not entirely because of Wu Shigong's romance, but mainly for Wu Shigong's safety.

You must know that the place where Wu Shigong and Li's mother had a tryst was in the city of Runing Mansion, and they could not be effectively protected by the Runing Army at all. And Li's mother often brought some women outside to Wu Shigong to try it, in case of mixing in with the assassins, the damage to the Runing Army would definitely be fatal.

At this time, the Runing Army was no longer Wu Shigong's private property, but the common cause of all the upper-level civil and military affairs of the Runing Army, so Deng Qifan also changed his practice of not interfering in Wu Shigong's private affairs, and immediately ordered the house to be closed, and found a room in the Runing Army camp to house Li's mother.

In order to tactfully advise Wu Shigong, Deng Qifan also punished the "culprit" housekeeper Liu Yuan. But Liu Yuan is really wronged! He didn't know about Wu Shigong and Li's mother at all, so he was wrongfully spanked.

But there is no reason to talk about this, the master's family makes a mistake, of course, the servant must be punished. As the head of the slave of Wu Shigong's house, Liu Yuan ...... Even if Liu Yuan is unlucky!

Deng Qifan also ordered Wu Shigong's guards to never allow Wu Shigong to go out to mess with flowers and grass, and when Wu Shigong returned, he also admonished him in person. Because Deng Qifan was also kind, so when he arrived in Zuihou, Wu Shigong had no choice but to agree, and his happy career of picking wildflowers ended after such a short period of splendor!

And Wu Shigong's return this time is also because the Runing Army has some urgent matters that Wu Shigong needs to deal with.

The first is the opening of the futures exchange. Because I can't figure out what the futures are doing, the business of the futures exchange is quite cold.

Therefore, Wu Shigong ordered that the owners of each Tuntian Zhuangzi should gather all the Tuntian households and pool funds to carry out grain futures trading, so as to stabilize the income of the Tuntian households and prevent the peasants from being hurt by the grain and the lack of green and yellow crops.

This is actually the original intention of futures trading. However, modern futures trading has almost forgotten this function, and it is all about using huge leverage speculation to obtain huge profits.

Then Zheng Zhilong's news finally came back. Because the deadline has arrived, Zhang Rubao and the others have also returned to Runing, and they, along with Zheng Jiao and Zheng Shopkeeper, are waiting for Wu Shigong's return.

Zhang Rubao's affairs were easy to handle, and after Wu Shigong announced in person: After appointing him as the commander of the Navy Division and the head of the Marine Corps of the Navy Division, he took the returned personnel to Xinyang to take up his post.

And the complicated thing is to discuss with Zheng Jiao about Zheng Zhilong's borrowing of troops. (To be continued......)
