And Wu Shigong's life during this period was quite leisurely. In fact, for the superiors, as long as they are on the right track, all affairs are handled by subordinates according to their responsibilities, but I don't have to bother much, just give orders and check the gates.

And the Runing army once again took advantage of this free time to set off a climax of marriage. Wu Shigong himself also participated in several games, such as Quan Dashan, the deputy captain of his pro-army team, who finally got his wish and married the daughter of a large local family.

However, for the competition for the fifth diamond king, the scene can be described as tragic, and the poor Mrs. Quan and Quan Dashan were completely dazzled by those well-born Haode women, and they were dumbfounded and didn't know what to do.

When they arrived in Zuihou, Mrs. Quan and Quan Dashan could only turn to Wu Shigong for help. So Wu Shigong also set a principle: not to marry the daughter of the high-ranking civil and military of the Runing Army; It was forbidden to marry the daughters of local officials, so the next batch was brushed up, and the marriage was finally decided.

At this time, Wu Shigong also considered the problem more and more from a political perspective. He won't let another larger group of shili appear in the Runing Army, so for a henchman like Quan Dashan, his marriage problem is not just his own problem.

But Wu Shigong can be rational about his subordinates' marriages, but his own private life is a mess. After holding back for a while, Wu Shigong finally found an opportunity, evaded Tao Xin's guards, and came to the other end of the Runing army camp, in the house where Li's mother was housed.

As soon as she saw Wu Shigong, Li's mother cried bitterly and coquettishly, and took out all eighteen kinds of martial arts. It wasn't until the two of them were lying naked in the bed that Li's mother told Wu Shigong about her heart disease.

Like many Qinglou women when they were young, Li's mother also used drugs that caused her inability to have children. But with the prosperity of Li's mother's entertainment industry, she has accumulated a lot of wealth in her hands.

also wanted to have support for the elderly, have sustenance, and even more want to have an heir, so Li's mother hit Wu Shigong with the idea. So she brought a lot of women for Wu Shigong to try. I want to keep my son and adopt a offspring for myself.

Unexpectedly, such behavior led to the house arrest of the old mother. But Li's mother has little knowledge, she didn't know that this was a decision made by Deng Qifan and other Runing Army officials to protect Wu Shigong's safety, and thought it was just a turmoil in the inner house. So she begged Wu Shigong: at least let her be able to take the women outside into the camp again.

Wu Shigong was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that his act of stealing food would be so noble that he would save the young woman who had lost his footing. But in his heart, Wu Shigong is still very sympathetic to Li's mother. Due to his identity, Wu Shigong will definitely not take Li's mother into the inner house, but her idea is difficult to realize now. If you can casually bring women from outside into the camp, then what is the need to put Li's mother under house arrest?

So Wu Shigong could only coax and deceive, and gave Li's mother a very vague answer. But that's the answer. It also made Li's mother full of joy. Maybe Li's mother, who has social experience, already knows that Wu Shigong is lying, but as long as there is hope, she is still willing to choose to believe it, even if she deceives herself, she will not hesitate to deceive herself.

After the Runing Army had a lot of money, it successively issued several large orders for the purchase of ordnance. And the acquisition of this order. The form of bidding for more than two workshops was adopted.

Unexpected, yet expected. Most of the orders this time were obtained from private workshops that were not owned by the Ru Ningjun, such as the Ma family weaving workshop and the Bian iron workshop. And whether it is the quality or the price, those private workshops are superior.

Originally, the situation was even worse, it was simply one-sided, if it weren't for Deng Qifan's behind-the-scenes mediation, plus the private workshop that got the order promised to subcontract part of the workshop of the Runing Army. Runingjun's own workshop is about to stop.

For this reason, Yang Goudan, director of the workshop department, personally came to Wu Shigong to confess. Wu Shigong didn't say anything, because she came from modern society, and she always knew that the production efficiency of state-owned enterprises was far inferior to that of private enterprises. This is human nature, it's not that your own money doesn't feel distressed!

Of course, Wu Shigong cannot let this kind of free competition go. After all, the workshop of the Runing Army is also responsible for the manufacture of core weapons; support for important but low-investment industries; Solve the basic livelihood of displaced people and other functions.

Therefore, after discussing with the senior civil and military personnel of the Runing Army, the Runing Army will gradually cash out the profitable industries through the stock exchange, and reinvest in a number of industries such as papermaking, shipbuilding, and brick kilns, so as to completely transform the financial revenue of the Runing Army into a healthy form in which the main reliance is mainly on industrial taxation within the jurisdiction, supplemented by other incomes.

With Li Xianfeng's assumption of office, Henan officialdom has also undergone a major transfer. Related to the Runing Army is that Guan Kesong, the prefect of Runing, was promoted to the right of Henan's political envoy to participate in politics this time.

This time, Guan Kesong can be said to have made a big leap, and suddenly became the third-in-command among Henan's civil officials. But Guan Kesong really knows that his promotion is completely dependent on the political achievements brought to him by the Runing Army. So although he has been promoted, in order to sit firmly in the future, Guan Kesong still has to have a close relationship with Wu Shigong.

So before parting, Guan Kesong personally invited Wu Shigong to the banquet, and the two had a cordial conversation. For Wu Shigong, Guan Kesong's prefect is not bad, although there are some small contradictions between the two, but for matters such as the three decrees, Guan Kesong still chose to support Wu Shigong.

So with the foundation of cooperation, the two have a lot to talk about. Wu Shigong also hopes to have a spokesperson in Henan officialdom, since Guan Kesong is willing, the position of spokesperson will be given to him.

So Zuihou reached such an agreement: Guan Kesong knew that he couldn't command Wu Shigong; Wu Shigong also knew that Guan Kesong couldn't influence him; But the imperial court thought that Guan Kesong could order Wu Shigong; And Wu Shigong also made the court think that Guan Kesong could order himself.

Although this agreement may seem like a tongue twister, it is also the reality of the agreement between the two.

After reaching an agreement, Wu Shigong of course has to say something. In addition to sending a very heavy Cheng Yi, the Runing Army also sent 500 soldiers to send Guan Kesong and his family to Kaifeng to take office. This is not only to ensure the safety of Kwan Ke Song, but also to show outsiders the "close" relationship between the two.

Different from Wu Shigong's leisure, Zhou Xun devoted himself to busy preparations as soon as he took office. Now Zhou Xun has two legions of the Runing Army, as well as Li Lu's 4,000 miscellaneous cards and more than 10,000 people in the regimental training town of the reclamation firm.

If you don't count the combat effectiveness, Zhou Xun has already mastered more than 20,000 troops. However, the area defended by this army has also expanded a lot, at least in the agreement with the new governor of Ruzhou, Yan Jing, the southern area of Ruzhou City is now protected by the Runing army.

Moreover, what Zhou Xun lacked the most was cavalry, and the cavalry of the Runing Army was only more than 1,000 cavalry, and Li Lu's was only nearly 2,000, so it was in a very difficult situation whether it was reconnaissance or maneuvering.

However, Zhou Xun was still excited, after all, it was the first time he led the army. For Wu Shigong's trust, Zhou Xun was also unable to repay it, and only hoped to get a big victory, so as to hand in a satisfactory answer.

And Yu Zilian did not leave Ruzhou immediately after taking over his new post, he wanted to squeeze Ruzhou as much as possible to equip his Ruzhou army. And Yan Jing didn't dare to go too far, so he could only make a turtle with a shrunken head and let Yu Zilian drink a sip of soup.

So Yu Zilian expanded the Ruzhou army to 10,000 people, and even gathered more than 800 cavalry. With the remaining 3,000 Ruzhou soldiers as the core, he stepped up his training and was ready for the big battle that was about to take place.

However, the most strange thing is that among all the Ming army units except for the Runing Army, Yu Zilian's Ruzhou Army has the worst combat effectiveness, the worst equipment, and the least combat experience, but they have the strongest cohesion, the highest morale, and the most aggressive. This...... This can only be found from the coach Yu Zilian!

After Li Xianfeng took office, of course, he also discovered Li Bingbeidao's recklessness and retreat, resulting in the undefended Henan border. But at this time, it is impossible for Li Xianfeng to return to the division, not to mention that the time is not in time, it will take a certain amount of time for him to get familiar with the generals under him.

So Li Xianfeng decided to respond to all changes with the same and ordered the Runing Army to still be responsible for the defense of southern Henan. Wang Shaoyu, the commander-in-chief of Luoyang, led his troops to defend Luoyang City and the line of the Yellow River in Henan, and personally integrated the officers and troops in Henan to form a mobile corps to rescue everywhere.

Under the integration of Li Xianfeng, an army of 13,000 people was finally formed, because of the equipment of the Henan arsenal in Kaifeng City, and Li Xianfeng, the governor, could call the Henan Guancang, so the equipment of this army was quite sophisticated, and even after the military salary was deducted by the officials, the soldiers could still get a part.

And the main force is Chen Yongfu, the chief soldier of Kaifeng personally promoted by Li Xianfeng, who has rich experience in fighting more than 6,000 horses, and Chen Yongfu has always been very low-key, so he immediately became Li Xianfeng's right-hand man.

October of the eighth year of Chongzhen.

Due to natural and man-made disasters in Shaanxi, there is a depression everywhere. The number of peasant armies has also increased substantially, and it is naturally not easy to find rations. In addition, the fierce battle with Hong Chengchou lost nearly ordinary peasant troops, so in addition to the few peasant armies of Li Zicheng and other troops who still remained in Shaanxi, hundreds of thousands of people from the Chuang Wang Gao Yingxiang, Lao Hui Hui Ma Shouying, the Eight Great Kings Zhang Xianzhong, the Yizi King, and the King of Hitting Heaven left Tongguan and entered Henan.

And the last time he fled with the elite Lao Hui Ma Shouying, he asked his subordinates to dress up as the Ming army, went to Shaanzhou to change horses, took the opportunity to break into the pass, and captured this important town in northwest Henan by surprise. The way for the peasant army to enter Henan was opened.

Facing the dust of the peasant army, it was forty miles wide, hundreds of miles, the old and weak were in the middle, and the elite rode outside. The two armies of the general soldiers, Zuo Liangyu and Zu Kuan, were separated by seventy miles, "looking at the mountain from afar, they did not dare to invite an attack." ”

The all-out battle between the peasant army and the Ming army in Henan began like this! (To be continued......)
