"Let's underestimate people again! Although there are fewer sons and daughters I brought out, they are all first-class in their work, and they are all first-class in one person, and they have a good stomach, which costs me money on my old nose. But brother-in-law, you have to save some money! I'm not afraid of war, but I'm distressed when the silver is lost! Li Lu admonished.

"I've never seen you ask for money like this." Wu Shigong scolded with a smile again, "Okay, then let's fight the tiger brothers!" I will treat your soldiers as my own sons. The military quartermaster along the way is also from our Runing army. ”

"Isn't this nonsense? Who don't you use? The rich man! Brother, I'm so poor that I only have pants left! Li Lu immediately began to climb the pole.

"Pull it down! But when you were in bed with those sisters-in-law, you really didn't even want your pants. ”

"That's so annoying. ……”

"Don't be cheap, just sell it. I'll do the math for you,......"

……

After talking about business, Wu Shigong and Li Lu began to run away with shijie.

In fact, Wu Shigong still takes a fancy to Li Lu's troops. Since Li Lu thought that he was chased and killed by the Holy Spirit Society to Ningling County, he has been increasing the investment of his troops, so his equipment was bought from the Runing Army, and the training of the troops was also from the instructors invited from the Runing Army, plus the 1,500 cavalry on this expedition were basically Li Lu's own soldiers and family members, therefore, in addition to the overall poor tactics and less combat experience, its real combat effectiveness is actually not bad.

However, unlike Li Lu's estimate, this expedition, Wu Shigong wanted to have a real encounter with the Manchu army. This idea is not even known to many high-ranking civil and military personnel of the Runing Army.

The reason for changing the previous practice of preserving strength is, of course, to consume the strength of the Qing army.

Wu Shigong knew that his Runing army would have to face the Qing army sooner or later anyway. If you take advantage of the Qing army's entry into the customs this time, when the Qing army is surrounded and suppressed by the Ming army and its strength is greatly damaged, and then cut off a piece of meat on the Qing army, it will be in the general decisive battle with the Qing army in the future. You can have an advantage.

The second is the tactical style of play of the Shiyan Runing Army. Up to now, the Runing Army had only fought with the Qing army ten years ago in small units, and there had not been a war at the level of a large army, so it can be said that they knew nothing about the tactics, command, and combat effectiveness of the Qing army. Therefore, Wu Shigong prepared to train his troops during this expedition, hoping to discover some advantages and disadvantages of the Runing Army's tactics and equipment, so as to prepare for the general decisive battle in the future.

Zuihou is the same psychological problem. After all, the soldiers of the Runing Army do not live in a vacuum, and they also hear from time to time that "the Jurchen is invincible!" Even Wu Shigong's heart was a little frightened by the strength of the Qing army. Therefore. Wu Shigong wanted to take advantage of the weakness of the Qing army to break the myth of the invincibility of the Qing army with some victories, boost the morale of the Runing army, and establish the confidence of "daring to fight" in the army.

Of course, there is also Wu Shigong who is somewhat patriotic; Wu Shigong is worried about his family in the capital and other reasons. Anyway, Wu Shigong didn't want his Qinwang to become a tourist. I want to take the initiative to find the Qing army to come to the next battle.

As a superior, Wu Shigong must be the one who puts interests first. He doesn't stick to simply preserving his strength. When the need arises, he will not hesitate to choose to use his elite. As long as the goal is achieved, even if the current 60,000 Runing army is lost, he will not blink an eye. In a word: raise soldiers for a thousand days, and use soldiers for a while.

Of course, because of the lack of intelligence and poor communication. Wu Shigong didn't know that the idea of other Ming troops consuming the Qing army was just a dream. If he knew this, maybe he would vomit three liters of blood!

On November 12, the Runing Army swore an oath to go on the expedition. Two days later, we arrived in Guide. After that, he stayed in Guide for three days, waited for the 4,000 Yu army led by Chen Zhongzhi and Jiang Cheng, and then arrived in Jining three days later.

In Jining, this coalition army waited for another three days, and when the Runing army did not move, he did not move, Liu Zeqing's 5,000 Lu army. After that, everyone went to find the Jining Cangyun ambassador familiarly.

When the ambassador saw everyone, he was shocked at first! Why are these grandfathers here again? Then came the great joy, and finally looked forward to the grandfathers. Immediately he opened the doors of the barns, and let everyone take what he needed.

Since the ambassador of Cangyun knew each other, everyone was also happy, and they waved their pens and signed their names on the picking list taken out by the ambassador of Cangyun, and the corruption account book of the ambassador of Cangyun in the next few years was flattened.

Then they went all the way north, with the Runing army west of the canal, Liu Zeqing, Chen Zhongzhi and Jiang Cheng east of the canal, and the two armies marched at the same speed. It was emphatically pointed out that the Runing Army had already absorbed the lessons of King Qin's last time and strictly abided by the order to fight in areas other than its own garrison. In addition to the dry food bags carried by each soldier for ten days, the Runing Army also concentrated on storing twenty days of grain and grass.

The above grain and grass reserves are generally never used. Everyday usage will be obtained through local levies and additional reserves.

However, when the coalition army marched to the vicinity of Jinan, it obtained the enemy information that the Qing army was infested in the north, which made the coalition army very nervous, and immediately sent a large number of scouts. After that, the march of the coalition forces slowed down considerably, and every step was made with caution. But until the march to Texas, he did not meet even a single Qing army spy. This greatly exhilarated the coalition forces, and immediately increased the speed of the march through Cangzhou.

In Cangzhou, the coalition forces parted ways, Liu Zeqing and others continued to go north, but Wu Shigong received an edict from the imperial court: stand by and take the initiative to find the enemy to fight, but not to approach the capital.

The imperial court was also quite wary of Wu Shigong's Runing army. And by this time it was already December 10th.

On the same day, Songjiang Fu Wharf.

"Mr. Zheng Qian! Now that it's all here, it's convenient for you. You said that your Zheng family's ship is in a hurry to go back, and it is urgent! Okay, send us across the river. It won't delay you for long! Huang Qiqi said.

"I'm sorry Lord Huang. Think of it yourself! Sail! The leader of the Zheng family's fleet ordered.

"You dare! Grab the ship! Gonzalez on the side couldn't listen anymore. With his order, the soldiers of the Marine Regiment immediately raised their weapons and surrounded the general Zheng Qian.

"Yo!" That Zheng Qian's face always did not change, he pushed away the weapon pointed at him, and walked to Gonzalez, "I didn't expect there to be a Francophone here?" Want to see grandpa's guts? If you have a kind of fighting, you will fight? Don't say that I haven't given you a chance, let me ask Lord Huang again, do you agree to the matter of my family's faucet? (To be continued......)
