When Zhu Dadian and Gao Qiqian knew that the other coalition military attaches were obedient, but only Wu Shigong and the other three Henan military attaches did not listen to their "consultation", their noses suddenly became crooked.

In fact, Zhu Dadian and Gao Qiqian wanted such seizures, and it was not entirely for selfishness. Of course, in the seizure, they will be given a share according to the rules of officialdom, and they will not refuse under false pretenses.

However, in addition to taking out a part of these captures to the Liaodong Army to pacify. Most of the rest, Zhu Dadian and Gao Qiqian are still ready to return to the coalition forces with the greatest meritorious service today.

Although this may seem like a change of direction from the reduction of the share of the coalition forces surrendered and captured, this is a matter of authority of the leadership and a principle that brooks no compromise.

But Wu Shigong and the three of them slapped them in the face fiercely, how could this not make Zhu Dadian and Gao Qiqian jump like thunder?

However, as Wu Shigong estimated, Zhu Dadian and Gao Qiqian could not retaliate openly, but for these two old fritters in the officialdom, it was also handy to retaliate secretly.

The revenge was divided into two paths. One is not to give Wu Shigong the credit of the past, and the other is to block the way for Wu Shigong to make meritorious contributions in the future. Anyway, the central idea is not to let Wu Shigong be promoted.

But from our objective point of view, Wu Shigong's reaction this time was indeed excessive. From the perspective of the Runing battalion, it is true that the interests are damaged, but from the perspective of Zhu Dadian and Gao Qiqian, they also have to balance the relationship between the various Ming army units. It's a matter of the ass deciding the head. In all fairness, Zhu Dadian and Gao Qiqian were relatively fair in their disposal of the seizures.

Of course, Wu Shigong also has good reasons to oppose it. Unfortunately, the reasons for Mr. Wu's opposition cannot be said publicly. Not necessarily what he wants to say: The reason why the Runing Battalion did not hand over and seize it was to expand its strength? Just to be a prince? Isn't that any different from openly claiming rebellion?

Therefore, under impulse, Wu Shigong reacted in such a way that did not conform to the rules of officialdom. Of course, this also made Zhu Dadian and Gao Qiqian's hearts shape Wu Shigong's money-grabbing and merit-grabbing. The image of a military attache with nothing to be pulled. It's no wonder that Zhu Dadian and Gao Qiqian want to take revenge immediately.

It can also be seen that the personnel arrangements for the Runing Battalion to go on this expedition are incomplete. Wu Shigong did not bring literati aides such as Deng Qifan or Zhang Xuebin to the expedition, which also led to some arbitrary handling of officialdom issues by Wu Shigong.

Otherwise, if there is Deng Qifan's persuasion and mediation, although the Runing Battalion will inevitably suffer some losses in terms of interests, at least it will not be at the point of incompatibility with the coach. Even the contradictions with the Liaodong Army will not intensify, in the end, the Liaodong Army only got hundreds of armors, and it is not worth it to make such an excessive "naked corpse incident" for these things. This can also be profoundly seen in a political group. The importance of a literati who is familiar with the rules of officialdom.

In addition, a digression, in the original history, Li Zicheng's peasant rebel army did not pay attention to the literati, and caused Li Zicheng and them to conquer the city of Beijing. It didn't take long for him to die.

The reason is because there are too few literati around Li Zicheng. The only Niu Jinxing and Song Xiance are just low-level people who have been oppressed, and they have a strong psychology of revenge against society. Not very good at governing the country. And the legendary Li Yan? If there really is such a figure in history. Then he has never been a core member of Li Zicheng's group.

And after the victory in the Battle of Huangxian, of course, he had to report the victory to the imperial court again. However, in the recital presented to Emperor Chongzhen, the three military attachés from Henan, Wu Shigong, Chen Zhongzhi, and Jiang Cheng, were unfortunately reduced to one word - "etc." As long as their places are mentioned, Zhu Dadian and Gao Qiqian's recitals are replaced by "Vice General Liu, etc."

Zhu Dadian and Gao Qiqian used the Spring and Autumn period penmanship, and they did not falsely report the military situation. is to ignore Wu Shigong and the three of them. Of course, there is definitely no name of these three people in the merit book.

Of course, Wu Shigong and the three of them could not see Zhu Dadian and Gao Qiqian's recital. Wu Shigong was also mentally prepared to be deprived of his military merits anyway, but Chen Zhongzhi and Jiang Cheng were not fools, and they basically guessed what Zhu Dadian and Gao Qiqian did.

But Chen Zhongzhi and Jiang Cheng don't matter. They advanced and retreated with Wu Shigong. Of course, there are some reasons for fellow villagers to join together, but the main reason is that Chen Zhongzhi and Jiang Cheng both know that they have no future in the first place.

Chen Zhongzhi won't talk about him, he was already unsatisfactory in the Henan governor's standard camp. No matter how meritorious he is, the governor of Henan cannot hand over the governor's standard camp to Chen Zhongzhi to lead.

And Jiang Cheng lost his big backer because of the death of Jiang's guerrillas. And the guerrilla battalion of the original Jiang guerrilla will definitely be led by other military attaches arranged by the imperial court. In the end, Jiang Cheng is too far away from the official position of guerrillas, and there are two levels of garrison and capital division in the middle. As a relative and confidant of the former guerrilla, when the new guerrilla takes office, Jiang Cheng will definitely have no future.

Besides, in the "Laizhou Victory" and Shahe Victory when Liu Yulie led the army in the past, Chen Zhongzhi and Jiang Cheng had already earned enough military merits. When the court rewarded them after the war, at most, they were given a false title, but the official didn't know how to move. This is just like the situation that Wu Shigong is now the official of the Lingdu Division, and he is actually in charge of the Runing garrison.

Isn't it possible that after they have made military achievements again, the court will give them a false title? Let's take a modern example: if an official is treated at the level of a chief minister or a deputy minister, but his actual official position is a county magistrate at the level of a department, isn't that a joke? The court wouldn't do that.

And the only advantage after mentioning the fictitious title is that it is more majestic in the interaction of officials, and the court gives more money. However, we all know that the income of Ming Dynasty officials is negligible in the total income of court officials. Therefore, a military attache who doesn't love false names very much, and it is impossible to have a false name, will definitely choose to earn such a large sum of money first.

But when Emperor Chongzhen read the retribution, another interesting thing happened. After Emperor Chongzhen learned of the victory in Huangxian, he was of course very happy. However, when he carefully looked at the contents of the chapter, he found that a Hou Fu son-in-law who had stolen a little widow had mysteriously disappeared. It can also be seen that Wu Shigong is indeed notorious in the hearts of Emperor Chongzhen.

Emperor Chongzhen was immediately furious, not for Wu Shigong, but mainly because Zhu Dadian and Gao Qiqian dared to hide themselves, and they colluded to conceal themselves. How could this not make Emperor Chongzhen, who was very controlling, angry? So, Emperor Chongzhen immediately asked Wang Chengen to investigate what happened?

And Zhu Dadian and Gao Qiqian, who are in charge of the army, must also have people from Dongchang and Jinyiwei. Under Wang Chengen's investigation, he quickly reported the ins and outs of everything that happened.

Emperor Chongzhen saw that this was the case, but he didn't pursue it again. However, when he saw the contradiction between the coalition army and the Liaodong army, he couldn't help but feel a little happy in his heart.

The Liaodong army spent a lot of food and salary from the imperial court, but it only brought Emperor Chongzhen a loss of teachers and humiliation of the country. What's even more infuriating is that the Liaodong Army has faintly become an independent kingdom, and even the ancestor Dashou fled the capital with the Liaodong Army after the change of Jisi at that time, and Emperor Chongzhen had to swallow his anger and send eunuchs to pacify. Therefore, the arrogant Emperor Chongzhen has long been unpleasant to the Liaodong Army.

And now that there is such a money-greedy and lustful military attaché, the Liaodong Army has suffered some losses, and it seems that it is really still a wicked person, and it needs to be grinded by a wicked person!

However, this time Wang Chengen did not speak for Wu Shigong, he advised Emperor Chongzhen: "This Wu Dusi is greedy for money, no wonder Governor Zhu and the Gao Gong Guild treat it like this." However, they only taught Wu Dusi a lesson, and did not openly deal with it by military law. It can also be seen that Governor Zhu and Gonggong Gao are not bad-minded, and they still remember the emperor's trust. ”

Regarding Wang Chengen's words, Emperor Chongzhen also nodded in agreement. After all, he is not interested in redressing Wu Shigong's unjust case.

Emperor Chongzhen pointed to Wu Shigong's name on the report and said to Wang Chengen: "This person has a very bad character, and he really insults the name of his ancestors. Wu Hou is elegant and diligent, and although Xue Hou is not careful, his character is also quite good. It is really a dragon that gives birth to nine sons, each of which is different! Although it is still brave, but in the previous dynasty, such a person who has a small talent, but has no great virtue, will never use it. ”

Wang Chengen immediately smiled and flattered: "Isn't that the emperor broad-minded and knows people well?" ”

Emperor Chongzhen also laughed. But after laughing for a while, he put away his smile again and sighed: "What an eventful season! ”

The reason why Wang Chengen wanted to help Zhu Dadian and Gao Qiqian this time was that after the change of the first assistant, an alliance between the new first assistant Wen Tiren and Cao Huachun faintly formed an alliance between the inner and outer dynasties. Although Wang Chengen didn't like to take power very much, he also didn't like to have other eunuchs from the inner court climb on his head. Therefore, in order to confront Cao Huachun, Wang Chengen put aside the battle between the master of ceremonies and the imperial horse supervisor, and took the initiative to take this opportunity to extend an olive branch to Gao Qiqian.

And after seeing that the goal of not giving Wu Shigong the previous merits was achieved this time, Zhu Dadian and Gao Qiqian took the means of blocking Wu Shigong's future meritorious service.

In the military discussion after a day's rest, Zhu Dadian and Gao Qiqian ordered the whole army to immediately open up, strike while the iron was hot, capture Dengzhou City, and completely eliminate Kong Youde's rebels.

However, in the military discussion, Zhu Dadian and Gao Qiqian arranged for Wu Shigong to lead Chen Zhongzhi and Jiang Cheng to form a partial division, first to recover Zhaoyuan, and then advance along the coast to sweep away the routs left by the rebels, and Zuihou surrounded Dengzhou City from the south of Dengzhou City.
