"Thank you, my lord! Please bow down to the last general! Zuo Liangyu made a gesture to make a big gift to Yu Zilian.

"Hugh what a courtesy!" Yu Zilian hurriedly said, "When the country is in crisis, it is time for us to support each other." General Zuo led the thief army here, and also made a special honor for today's victory. This is the first achievement! ”

When the Ruzhou army fell into a state of madness with Yu Zilian's battle, He Shaoqi's army was immediately in an uproar. Seeing that the situation was not good, He Shaoqi hurriedly withdrew his troops, but in the end, he only gathered more than 4,000 peasant troops and fled back.

For the Ruzhou army, you simply can't estimate his strength from the surface. After the bonus of faith, the Ruzhou army will often perform at an extreme level, so it can't be judged from common sense at all. Of course, he is not the first to suffer such a loss. It's just that He Shaoqi was not greedy enough to attack, so he was defeated and suffered a big loss.

In fact, it is very simple to beat the Ruzhou Army back to the prototype, as long as you defeat the Ruzhou Army once. Until now, there has not been a peasant army that has done this.

Seeing the return of the remnants of He Shaoqi, Gao Yingxiang and the others were taken aback. They knew that the Ming army that came to help was strong, but they didn't expect it to be strong to this level. The Ming army had defeated He's troops in such a short period of time, and it had only escaped so many people.

It would be unrealistic to besiege Zuo Liangyu again at this time. So Gao Yingxiang and the others immediately withdrew their troops and headed southwest. In this battle, Gao Yingxiang and the others originally thought that they already had the ability to compete with the Ming army, but they were hit by Zuo Liangyu and Yu Zilian one after another, so this also woke Gao Yingxiang and them. So they reverted to their wandering nature, avoided the main force of the Ming army, and attacked the weak areas of the Ming army's defense.

But Gao Yingxiang's retreat did not go very smoothly. After defeating He's banner, he didn't rest. Yu Zilian pounced with the Ruzhou army, but the desperate style of the Ruzhou army did give the peasant army a headache.

And Zuo Liangyu, who was cowering in the town, also discovered the changes in the besieging peasant army, and he also organized troops to join the counterattack, and finally left part of the peasant army's baggage and the cannon fodder of the peasant army besieging the town. Therefore, with the cooperation of these two Ming armies, the Ming army won the victory in Minxiang.

For the Ruzhou army that came to the aid desperately, Zuo Liangyu was of course very grateful. And Yu Zilian also had a humble attitude and did not take credit, so he immediately won a lot of favor from Zuo Liangyu. At the banquet after the two met, they both talked about their common enemy, Wu Shigong. So these two people, who were in the same hatred of the enemy, immediately called themselves brothers.

However, although the victory of Minxiang was obtained, the losses of Zuo Liangyubu and the Ruzhou army were also very large. The casualties of Zuo Liangyu's troops exceeded 5,000, while the losses of the Ruzhou army were also nearly 3,000.

Therefore, both Ming armies were unable to fight again, so they both began to rest on the spot. I saw that the Ruzhou army had incorporated the prisoners into their own army. Zuo Liangyu, who was anxious to recover his strength, also did the same. So in terms of numbers, they quickly regained their strength. Zuo Liangyu's army reached 13,000 men, and the Ruzhou army reached 15,000 men. As for the old and infirm, women and children. Yu Zilian will also arrange for someone to send them to Ruzhou for resettlement.

But such an expansion has big hidden dangers after all. Therefore, these two Ming armies did not dare to follow Gao Yingxiang and their pursuit, and they had to digest those captives for the time being.

And Gao Yingxiang and the other three peasant armies, which suffered losses one after another, were also anxious to restore their strength. Seeing that Zuo Liangyu and the Ruzhou army did not pursue, and there were no other Ming troops nearby, they let go of their hands and feet.

The peasant army first shook a false shot at Luoyang to frighten Wang Shaoyu's troops in Luoyang City. so that he did not dare to go out of the city and take advantage of the fire to rob. After that, he successively captured Gwangju and Hokok. After these two places received a large amount of supplies and personnel replenishment, these three peasant armies also recovered. Then, Gao Yingxiang and other peasant troops began to move south, also thinking about passing through Nanyang Mansion. Enter Huguang.

From this battle in Henan, we can actually see a strange phenomenon. Hong Chengchou, who is in Shaanxi, is basically watching from the wall. If Hong Chengchou sent a part of the main force of the Ming army to follow the peasant army into Henan and join the encirclement and suppression of the peasant army, the battle situation might be changed immediately.

Of course, this can't be all blamed on Hong Chengchou, our protagonist - Wu Shigong, isn't his Runing army still moving? This can only be said that the style of the Ming army at the end of the Ming Dynasty fighting separately and preserving its strength was too common!

When the peasant army went south, the first thing they encountered was Chen Zhongzhi and Jiang Cheng, two angry birds. When they met the vanguard of the peasant army, they immediately rushed forward to meet them. Chen Zhongzhi and Jiang Cheng vented their anger in this battle, and wiped out the vanguard of the peasant army of thousands like chopping melons and vegetables. It's also a big win.

And this big victory made the footsteps of the peasant army stop suddenly, and Gao Yingxiang and they were a little puzzled: There is another Ming army with amazing combat effectiveness in front of Weishenme?

However, Chen Zhongzhi and Jiang Cheng, who came to their senses, immediately felt a burst of fear, they didn't dare to block the way of the peasant army, so they immediately turned around and fled, afraid that the main force of the peasant army would chase after them. The two angry birds were now almost singing to the peasant army: "I am a little bird!" ”

Seeing that the enemy situation in front of them was lifted, Gao Yingxiang and they realized that it was just a false alarm, so they gathered their troops and still advanced towards Nanyang Mansion.

Chen Zhongzhi and Jiang Cheng fled, and at the same time informed the Runing Army of the movements of the peasant army, and the Zhou Patrol Department in Yexian County immediately made preparations, and on November 29, Zhou Xun took more than 6,800 soldiers of the Runing Army to join Chen Zhongzhi and Jiang Cheng's troops.

At this time, Wu Shigong was coming to Yexian with a commercial gilded group.

Because they were all active in their own territory, Wu Shigong only led his own personal army to escort the commercial gilded regiment this time. And the children of the returned German gentry who had the opportunity to participate in this winter camp were also quite excited, and they were hee-hee haha all day long, and they had no awareness of going to the battlefield at all.

For this reason, Wu Shigong can only let his own soldiers and train those officials and gentry's children, how can he let them learn a few tricks to save their lives and escape!

"Long respect brother! Have you arranged everything in Ye County? Old God Zhao Ming asked on the ground.

"You're good! Completely as a hands-off shopkeeper! Wu Shigong was angry when he saw Zhao Ming, but when he saw Zhao Ming still smiling and brushing his beard and practicing iron-faced magic skills, Wu Shigong was also discouraged, "It's all arranged, go to Longyan Town first, and then gather the army there to go out to suppress bandits for three days, and then return immediately to send those little ancestors back to Germany safely." ”

Originally, Wu Shigong's arrangement was to let those officials and gentry have a sightseeing tour, but those hot youths quit and insisted on seeing the scenes of the war.

In desperation, Wu Shigong prepared to go to Longyan Town first, and then take an infantry regiment located in Longyan Town to Nanyang Iron Mine to go around.

Now the people entrenched in the Nanyang Iron Mine are all former miners who have become mountain bandits. Because the terrain of the mountainous area is complicated, and the number of mountain bandits is not large, the Runing army has not taken care of it for the time being. But this time, you can go to the foot of the mountain to find a few unlucky open meat, and find some military merits for those officials and gentry's children.

"Dude! Do you think you can really make money with just these two pieces of paper? Zhao Ming was most concerned about his investment in Runing at this time.

After arriving in Runing. The children of the gentry were allowed to have fun, and the stewards of the families were engaged in business. Anyway, a series of agreements were reached for business cooperation. And Zhao Ming, who has a good relationship with Wu Shigong, went to the stock exchange to buy some newly issued shares under the guidance of Wu Shigong.

But for the new thing like stocks, Zhao Ming and they have no bottom in their hearts after all, in the end, the silver of the white flowers has turned into a few pieces of thin paper, so along the way, Zhao Ming has asked Wu Shigong N many times.

"This business house and workshop are good and bad, and of course this stock has risen and fallen, where is there a good thing to make money and not lose money? The worst outcome is the collapse of the firm that issued the shares, and the stocks in your hands will be a piece of waste paper. But for fear of risk, you can deposit the silver into our Four Seas Bank? You can eat interest there, and it's stable, and I don't need to look at your bitter gourd face anymore. Wu Shigong was bored by Zhao Ming, so he stimulated Zhao Ming in his words.

However, I saw that Zhao Ming's facial features were crowded, his face was red and white, and he was afraid that this little old man would be stimulated too deeply by himself and fart on the spot, so Wu Shigong then sighed: "Alas-! I always know the details of your stock! To give you a thorough explanation, in the long run, there will be no problem in five years. ”

"Let me tell you again, what is the price of the first batch of shares issued in the first half of the year? It's doubled. I'm sending you money, don't you know yet? ”

"Really?" Zhao Ming's eyes immediately widened and he came back to life.

"Of course it's true. If it weren't for the fact that our people in the Runing Army were too tight, would it be your turn to buy it this time? So be it! All the stocks you bought belong to me, and the silver is counted as what I borrowed from you, and how about I give you two cents of interest every year? ”

"Why?" Zhao Ming suddenly said vividly, "Do you think that brother, I am a person who can't afford to take risks?" ”

At this moment, several messenger horses galloped to the front of the team. Tao Xin took those urgent letters and sent them to Wu Shigong, Wu Shigong opened them and looked at them, and his face became gloomy.

For any movement of the peasant army, the Runing army has a corresponding plan, so the urgent report sent this time is also to inform Wu Shigong of the news. However, Wu Shigong saw a familiar name in this urgent report -- Li Zicheng.

"Is it taking the opportunity to kill Li Zicheng's great enemy?"

"Are you going to change your actions?"

"Then how can we change the actions of the Runing Army?"

……

For a moment or three, Wu Shigong couldn't calm down at all. So he gave a loud order: "Stop the whole army!" Set up camp on the spot! (To be continued......)
