As the control area of the Runing Army, it is natural for the Guide Government to ask the Runing Army to give priority to its security. But this time, if you only look at the results, Runingjun will definitely not fulfill their responsibilities. Although this situation can be explained, the local gentry of Guide Province will have some complaints about the Runing Army.

And Wu Shigong's words at least gave those gentry another goal of catharsis, and there would be fewer complaints about the Runing Army. Of course, there are also Ru Ningjun's own considerations.

In this battle against the peasant rebel army, the full strength of the Runing army had actually surfaced. In the past, the strategy of taoguang and obscurity could not be implemented.

And Emperor Chongzhen and the bigwigs in the court knew that with the strong army of the Runing Army, in the crisis, they would definitely let the Runing Army fight in the south and the north, and squeeze the Runing Army dry, and they would not consider the healthy development of the Runing Army at all, so this is also the point that Wu Shigong is most worried about.

For this reason, Wu Shigong can use the reason that the damage in this battle is too great to delay for a period of time, but no matter how much he delays, he can't delay it for fifteen, so Wu Shigong wants to find another way to let the Runing army rest and recuperate.

And now such remarks in public immediately made the contradiction between Wu Shigong and Governor Xuan Mo and General Soldier Zuo Liangyu public. In this way, in the future, if the imperial court mobilizes the Runing army through the governor Xuanmo, Wu Shigong can completely obey the order but not listen to the tune. Because they have deep contradictions between them, it is easy to get into another lawsuit, and it also makes the Runing Army not accept the transfer of the imperial court in disguise.

Wu Shigong's only loss may be: Xuan Mo no longer allocates food and salary to the Runing Army and lets Wu Shigong wear small shoes in the officialdom. But Ru Ningjun can't get any food and salary now, and Wu Shigong himself is now being swept to the end, so this loss is no threat to Wu Shigong.

So it can be said that Wu Shigong has always thought that a man's constant complaining is a manifestation of a man's own incompetence, but Wu Shigong himself will also complain. But he always had other purposes for whining.

But Wu Shigong's whining words had already annoyed Zhou Junwu. As the representative of Governor Xuanmo, although Zhou Junwu couldn't interject just now out of courtesy, he had already wanted to refute it.

finally waited for Wu Shigong to finish speaking, and Zhou Junwu immediately retorted: "What Brother Changjing said is wrong! How do you know that the governor has not sent troops to meet the thieves? How did he know that General Zuo was not for the safety of Kaifeng, so he had to neglect the defense of the Yellow River? On the contrary, the student looked at Brother Changjing, who had trapped a large number of Shaanxi thieves in Ruzhou, but inexplicably let it go and turned to return to Germany, how to refute this reason? ”

Zhou Junwu didn't know that his words had offended everyone present. All the officials here are in Guide Mansion, and the Runing Army came here to rescue Guide Mansion, so that these officials can take care of the overall situation. Abandon a small family for everyone? That's better to save it! Therefore, Zhou Junwu really still has to experience more in the officialdom.

However, Wu Shigong's counterattack was even sharper, and he shouted: "Then I'll make it clear to you!" To the south of Guide Mansion is Fengyang Mansion, do you dare to say that Fengyang Mansion is not important? It was because of the chaotic command of the governor that my Runing army could only take care of one head. And now Runan is also in an undefended situation, in case the Shaanxi bandits enter Fengyang through Runan. I want to see what the governor does to tell the Holy One. ”

These words were simply sounded on the ground, and Zhou Junwu was speechless. Who dares to say that the emperor's hometown and ancestral tomb are not important? This is the first major event in the politics of the Ming Dynasty!

But the civil servants here are fine. Because they are all rogue officials. The family industry is not in Guide Mansion, but Zhao Ming, the local military attaché, is gone, this time the peasant rebel army is raging in Guide Mansion, and their industry outside the city can be described as a heavy loss, so the people who caused this situation are even more hateful.

So Zhao Ming immediately helped: "You can't rely on anyone!" Or the local children are the most assured! ”

As soon as Old Lady Hou saw this situation, it was about to develop into a denunciation meeting against Governor Xuanmo. So he opened his mouth and said slowly: "Changjing, I will talk about the future in the future, and now the Shaanxi thieves are still hovering in the north of Guide, what do you think should be done?" ”

As soon as these words came out. Everyone present pricked up their ears, in fact, they all looked forward to the Runing Army driving the peasant rebels far away, for fear that Wu Shigong would abandon them now and lead the Runing Army back to Runing Mansion.

"Taigong, the younger generation rushed to Guide with his son, just to completely eliminate the ravages of Shaanxi bandits on Guide. So far, more than 30,000 Shaanxi bandits have been defeated and nine bandit chiefs have been killed. Of course, this is also a big victory thanks to your strategy. ”

As soon as Wu Shigong said this, the scene immediately became pleasant, because these officials knew that Wu Shigong was going to share the credit with everyone.

But despite this, the Shaanxi bandits in the north of Guide are still powerful. Eradication is definitely not possible, and it can only be done by sending gifts out of the country. Moreover, it also requires the cooperation of officers and soldiers in other places, otherwise, it will be more useless. ”

Hearing Wu Shigong say this, Qian Zhifu immediately asked the question he was most concerned about: "Mr. Wu, are you saying that the Shaanxi thief will not leave for a day, and the Erbu will not leave for a day and return to Dehu?" ”

Wu Shigong nodded and replied, "Exactly! ”

The officials present immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Governor Qian then asked: "How much does the Ministry of Naer still need local supplies?" ”

Since the Runing Army sacrificed its own defense of Runing Mansion, then the Guide Mansion should always mean a thing or two to the Runing Army.

Unexpectedly, Wu Shigong's answer was not greedy at all: "This time the place in Guide is dilapidated, and I can't bear to increase the burden on the place in my later life, as long as Lord Fuzun supplies enough food and grass for the Runing army, and then sends doctors and infirmaries to take care of the wounded of the Runing army, the rest is not needed." ”

In fact, Wu Shigong led the main force of the Runing Army to aid Guidefu, so he was not prepared to go back in a short time. He also has three considerations:

The first point, of course, is to make a gesture of attaching importance to the places of return to Germany, and to give those local gentry peace of mind;

The second point is that the headquarters of the Runing Army also has enough troops to defend, at least it can fully support the return of the Runing Army;

The third point is the most important. It is necessary to take advantage of this opportunity to eliminate more of the main forces of the peasant rebel army, and if one can eliminate the other, it will also be able to put the Runing army in a relatively favorable situation in the future battle against the peasant rebel army.

Therefore, even if the Qian Governor's Mansion does not keep it, Wu Shigong is also ready to let the Runing Army stay in Guide Mansion. As for the possible threat of Zhang Xianzhong's troops to the Runan region, it can only be ignored for the time being. You don't necessarily have to give up the enemy of the reality in front of you for the sake of a possible threat.

As for the Qian Governor's proposal to take the initiative to provide the protection fee of the Guide Mansion to the Runing Army, Wu Shigong did not want to take it. Originally, these protection fees were not much, and the Runing Army was already going to sell them to those local gentry, so why let them pay for it again?

But when he heard Wu Shigong's refusal, the old lady Hou on the side immediately said: "Although Chang Jing is polite, Erbu Erlang also needs to be rewarded. So be it! The old man took out 2,000 pieces of silver, and the rest of the virtuous people made up another 3,000, which is also a piece of our heart for the people of Germany! ”

Wu Shigong hurriedly wanted to refuse again, but suddenly saw that the faces of the officials present were full of joy. He suddenly understood that there was a reason to make a military sacrifice, and those officials also had a reason to loot from the people.

Although he was well-intentioned and wanted not to increase the burden on the local government, he unknowingly blocked the financial path of those officials. Wu Shigong couldn't help but admire Mrs. Hou a little in his heart: "This ginger is still old and spicy!" ”

Since this is the case, Wu Shigong is of course not polite. He immediately saluted Old Lady Hou and Governor Qian, and said, "That junior is ashamed." ”

The banquet that evening was a joyous one. The only one who was a little uncomfortable was Yu Zilian, who was afraid that Wu Shigong would criticize him at any time.

And Zhou Junwu will not be uncomfortable at all. Although he was also invited to the banquet, he didn't have the face to participate at all, so he shrunk into the quilt and slept with his head covered. Now Zhou Junwu is thinking about returning to Governor Xuanmo's side as soon as possible. (To be continued......)
