At this time, all the officials in the Ming army believed that the rebels who had suffered the defeat of Huangxian no longer had any combat effectiveness. As long as the Ming army gathers and captures the rebels' Zuihou fortress - Dengzhou City, it will be a matter of capture.

And the capture of Dengzhou City will also be an opportunity for Zuihou to make meritorious contributions to the suppression of the rebels. However, Wu Shigong's partial teacher was deprived of this opportunity.

Even when the Runing battalion was late, Dengzhou City had not yet been conquered by the main force of the Ming army, and the south of Dengzhou City was also a very steep small mountainous area, which could not allow the army to start a smooth siege. Let's just put it this way. It is completely impossible for the Runing battalion to capture Dengzhou City. This is also a retaliation method carefully designed by Zhu Dadian and Gao Qiqian.

But what surprised Zhu Dadian and Gao Qiqian was that Wu Shigong, who was extremely unruly in their hearts, did not hesitate after receiving this order to wear small shoes, and he accepted the task calmly.

Zhu Dadian and Gao Qiqian still didn't know that military exploits had completely lost their attraction to Wu Shigong.

After more than half a year of joint operations, the coalition forces are finally going their separate ways. But this is not a parting of life and death, and the various units of the coalition army will meet again under Dengzhou City, so the whole scene of the breakup is not particularly sensational.

But Liu Zeqing felt that Wu Shigong would lose the credit for conquering Dengzhou City, and he always felt a little sorry for Wu Shigong. But Wu Shigong still didn't care. He just asked Liu Zeqing to take care of himself, and then calmly left with the Henan army division.

When Wu Shigong left, he found that Liu Zeqing's eyes could no longer hide the light of his ambition. During the military discussion just now, Zhu Dadian even encouraged Liu Zeqing by name, and also hinted to Liu Zeqing in his words that if Liu Zeqing made military merits in Dengzhou City, then Zhu Dadian would ask the court for credit. Let Liu Zeqing skip the rank of deputy chief soldier and be directly promoted to the position of actual chief soldier.

This condition is indeed quite tempting, and it can also be seen that Zhu Dadian is skillful in political methods. He not only fought and pulled one faction in the coalition army, which could effectively split the coalition army, but also after the rebellion was quelled in the future, he could also have Liu Zeqing, a pawn to balance Qiu Lei, the general soldier of Shandong. It's really killing two birds with one stone.

And Wu Shigong, of course, will not be submissive in the military discussion, since he has already offended Zhu Dadian and Gao Qiqian, he doesn't care about offending more.

Since Zhu Dadian and Gao Qiqian did not allow Wu Shigong to make meritorious contributions in Dengzhou City, then they had to give Wu Shigong some benefits. So Wu Shigong spilled, behaved, and played scoundrels. Anyway, whatever means are disgusting, they use whatever means, that is, Zhu Dadian and Gao Qiqian will give Wu Shigong more weapons, grain and grass, mules and horses.

Regarding Wu Shigong's ugliness, Zhu Dadian and Gao Qi were so angry that they almost gritted their steel teeth. If they weren't all concerned about their identities, or if they also knew that even a pair of two would not be able to beat Wu Shigong, maybe they would have to have a live PK with Wu Shigong in the Zhongjun Tent.

Arrived at Zuihou. Zhu Dadian and Gao Qiqian still reluctantly gave Wu Shigong 500 stone of grain and a batch of gunpowder, when Wu Shigong still looked like a scoundrel. When you look like you're not greedy. Zhu Dadian and Gao Qiqian couldn't hold back anymore. They immediately ordered Wu Shigong to be beaten out of the Chinese army's tent. Wu Shigong was immediately a good man and escaped without suffering the loss in front of him.

After the division was divided, the Henan army led by Wu Shigong totaled more than 5,800 people. Among them, there are more than 4,500 in the Runing battalion. Moreover, there were more than 700 war horses, nearly 800 pack horses and other mules and horses, and 860 carts, chariots, and two-wheeled vehicles.

The military supplies of this force are also quite sufficient. Among them, there are more than 4,300 stones of grain and grass. In addition, the armament is also quite sophisticated. There were thirty artillery pieces alone. What's more, the silver that Wu Shigong carried when he went out on the expedition was basically unused. On the contrary, there was more silver and valuables, which was equivalent to at least 80,000 taels of silver.

Compared with the men, horses, weapons, materials and silver when the Runing battalion set out on the expedition, Wu Shigong's Denglai counterinsurgency can be described as a bumper harvest.

And for their own mission. Wu Shigong is also quite self-aware. Kong Youde's rebels have all retreated to Dengzhou City to defend to the death, where are the remnants of rebels along the coasts of Zhaoyuan and Denglai?

Since Zhu Dadian and Gao Qiqian refused to let themselves make any more meritorious contributions, and they were unwilling to rush to Dengzhou City earlier, then Wu Shigong himself should be more knowledgeable, so he slowly armed the parade. It's as if you have brought more than 5,000 escorts to a trip around the coastline of Denglai.

It is no accident that on August 25, the fifth year of Chongzhen, the Henan army regained Zhaoyuan bloodlessly. After that, Wu Shigong's Henan army rested in Zhaoyuan for more than ten days.

In fact, the Henan army did not need to rest at all. But since there is no need to rush to Dengzhou City, then the Henan Army might as well collect more benefits in Zhaoyuan. You must know that on the entire march route of the Henan Army, it is only possible to enter the city of Zhaoyuan County.

And learned that Wang Shi had recovered the county seat, Zhaoyuan Zhi County and the big households in the county also went down from the mountain village where they were hiding, and wanted to accept the county governance of Zhaoyuan County.

Of course, Zhao Yuanzhi County and the big households in the county entertained Wu Shigong and others with a lot of fish, and then offered a batch of rewards, hoping that the Henan Army would not stay in the county anymore and get out of the county as soon as possible.

But Wu Shigong, the military attache of the Henan Army, has opened their eyes, do they still fancy these rewards? Wu Shigong immediately returned those rewards, and the lion opened his mouth to ask for the help of Zhao Yuanzhi County to requisition 500 mules and horses and 3,000 stone of grain. And as soon as this requirement is said, Zhaoyuan Zhixian and those big households are weak, and the amount of this requisition is too ruthless.

But to Wu Shigong's surprise, he also met a ruthless magistrate. Since the Henan army wants the lion to open his mouth, then Zhao Yuanzhi County will not be accompanied.

After that, Zhaoyuan Zhixian saw Wu Shigong again, he didn't even give Wu Shigong a gift, so he stiffened his neck and said: "Zhaoyuan has been rampant with thieves, and the money and grain still need relief from the imperial court." Therefore, there is no superfluous for Wu Dusi. But the county also knew that Chen Dusi was hard, so he squeezed out 20 donkeys and 200 grains with the villagers. I hope that Chen Dusi will leave as soon as possible after he gets it. Otherwise, the county will go to the imperial court, that is, the lawsuit will be brought to the Jinluan Palace, and the county will also accompany it. After finishing speaking, Zhao Yuanzhi County ignored Wu Shigong's stinky face, and walked away.

It was the first time that Wu Shigong had met a civil official who did not eat his rogue style, so he immediately stationed all the Henan troops in Zhaoyuan County, just to suppress Zhaoyuan County.

But Zhao Yuanzhi County didn't pay attention to Wu Shigong at all. Anyway, after Kong Youde broke Zhaoyuan County, there were not many residents left in the city, and now there are not a few returned, how could he be afraid of the disaster of the Henan Army? Besides, the court system of the Ming Dynasty was like this, and a small magistrate county also had the toughness to fight against middle and high-level military attachés like Wu Shigong.

Zhaoyuan Zhixian thought very clearly, no matter what, Wu Shigong's Henan Army was also an official army, so he would never dare to touch the big families in Zhaoyuan County and the city. As for the people at the bottom, Zhaoyuanzhi County must have completely ignored it.

Moreover, the Kong Youde rebels in Dengzhou City have not yet been destroyed. It is not necessary that Wu Shigong's Henan army has been stationed in Zhaoyuan County to fight the rebels, and the imperial court will not agree! Anyway, it's up to whom. Who says civil servants can't be scoundrels?

And in this way, it is indeed difficult for Wu Shigong to deal with it. It is impossible to rob those big recruits, but it is a big loss of face to leave like this. Wu Shigong is a little difficult to ride a tiger.

Just after five days of stalemate between the two sides, a scene happened that made Wu Shigong puzzled. Zhu Dadian, the governor of Shandong, sent a messenger to Wu Shigong to deliver an urgent letter. In the letter, there was only one handwritten letter stamped with the governor's official seal, which contained Zhu Dadian, who allowed Wu Shigong's Henan army to levy it locally in Shandong.

Wu Shigong held this handwritten book and felt as if he was in a dream. Either he is crazy, or Zhu Dadian is crazy. Could it be that what he did forced a governor into schizophrenia?

What Wu Shigong didn't know was that after Emperor Chongzhen asked Wang Chengen to thoroughly investigate Wu Shigong's affairs, because Wang Chengen wanted to show favor to Gao Qiqian, he was revealed to Gao Qiqian by those factory guards instructed by Wang Chengen.

Of course, those who revealed the news would definitely not say it explicitly, but those hints made Gao Qiqian have some misunderstandings. Gao Qiqian didn't expect that this unruly Henan Qiuba would be so simple in the emperor's heart. Gao Qiqian didn't know at all, in fact, Wu Shigong was the notorious Jane Zaidi's heart.

So after sighing that the people of the Guixun family were really not easy to mess with, Gao Qiqian immediately discussed with Zhu Dadian to make up for the relationship with Wu Shigong, who had a "close relationship" with Emperor Chongzhen.

But it is also impossible to change the combat jihua of Wu Shigong's Henan Army, which is too embarrassing for Zhu Dadian and Gao Qiqian. That had to meet the material needs required by Wu Shigong. So he gave Wu Shigong the governor's warrant, so that the Henan army could justifiably loot in Shandong.

And at this time, since he couldn't figure it out, Wu Shigong didn't think about it anymore. He immediately collected the handwritten book as if he had found a treasure, and then came to the Zhaoyuan County Ya proudly.

And when Zhao Yuanzhi County saw this handwritten letter, he was immediately stunned. Zhao Yuanzhi County dared to strengthen the military attaché's neck, but he definitely did not have the courage to dare to disobey the orders of the governor.

After that, things went well. Zhaoyuanzhi County's requirements for Wu Shigong's expropriation were basically met. However, because Kong Youde's rebels had already looted it, Zhaoyuan County really couldn't squeeze out so many mules, horses and grain. After discussing with Wu Shigong, Zhaoyuan County Zuihou gave the Henan army fifty mules and horses and three hundred stone of grain. There are also 1,000 taels of military money. With such a private gold mine, Zhaoyuan County is really rich enough!

The harvest was so rich that it immediately aroused the greed of those military attaches of the Henan Army. They were still discussing how to extort another money, but Wu Shigong received another letter. After reading the letter, Wu Shigong and the others immediately lost their arrogance, and immediately led the Henan army to leave Zhaoyuan County. (To be continued......)
