Chapter 394: Transferring Officers and Soldiers
At this time, in February of the seventh year of Chongzhen, Chen Qiyu, the governor of the military affairs of Shaanxi, Shanxi, Henan, Huguang, and Sichuan, took office.
At the beginning of getting off the bus, the governor Chen Qiyu was in high spirits, as long as he could exterminate the peasant rebels, then the university scholars would recruit him, and the extremely popular ministers would also wave to him. But before Chen Qiyu could reminisce about this feeling a few more times, a basin of ice water was poured down from his head. And the initiator of pouring ice water is the protagonist of this book, the troublesome brother Wu Shigong.
At that time, in a private letter written by Wu Shigong to his father-in-law Qin, he suggested the tactics of suppressing bandits with regional defense and full-court pressing, and it should be said that this tactic is the most practical and haode tactic. The main reason why Wu Shigong refused to hide his personal interests was that he wanted to mobilize a large army through the Ming Dynasty court, completely exterminate the peasant rebel army, and eliminate Li Zicheng, the great enemy who destroyed the Ming Dynasty.
When Emperor Chongzhen saw this suggestion, he also attached great importance to it, copied and annotated it, and handed it over to Chen Qiyu, the governor of the five provinces.
It should be said that this process is actually quite normal, but there is a problem that arises. Chen Qiyu is also an outstanding talent in the military, so the tactics he originally prepared to suppress bandits are quite similar to Wu Shigong's regional defense and full-court pressing tactics.
That should be the same thing that the hero sees, right? Of course not! The hero Chen Qiyu did not pity the hero Wu Shigong, but immediately hated Wu Shigong. It's not that Chen Qiyu's heart is small, it's mainly that this incident makes Chen Qiyu too aggrieved.
If you think about it, if Chen Qiyu had exterminated the peasant rebel army according to his own Jihua, he could have reported to Emperor Chongzhen: Under the wise leadership of the emperor, I, Chen Qiyu, used the wonderful tactics of suppressing bandits to exterminate the peasant rebel army.
But what about now? Not necessarily Chen Qiyu said: Under the wise leadership of the emperor, I, Chen Qiyu, listened to the advice of a small Dusi, and then .......
Where does this make Chen Qiyu's face go? But Chen Qiyu doesn't say that, what about weishenme? Because Wu Shigong's suggestion was forwarded through Emperor Chongzhen. Chen Qiyu didn't necessarily say to Emperor Chongzhen: That's what I thought before, and Nadusi's suggestion was actually exactly the same as what I originally thought.
Isn't that a naked snatch of credit? Isn't that bullying the king in front of Emperor Chongzhen? You say, when Chen Qiyu encounters such an aggrieved situation, he still doesn't immediately summon 10,000 "grass mud horse" divine beasts?
Wu Shigong was so inexplicably named by Chen Qiyu, the top boss of his boss. It really feels like a disaster has fallen from the sky. But this reason is indeed a coincidence, but Wu Shigong himself also has a little shortcoming in doing things.
Whether it is in the previous life or the future life, Wu Shigong is used to being the boss, so he doesn't pay attention to it at all when making suggestions, and he doesn't know some small skills, because his subordinate Xiangshang Si is particular about making suggestions.
Here is a small story about the suggestion made by Marshal Vasilevsky, Chief of the General Staff of the Soviet Army, during the Great Patriotic War of the former Soviet Union.
During the Great Patriotic War. When Stalin convened military conferences, he often asked the senior Soviet generals who attended the meeting to take the lead in making proposals. And when it was Marshal Vasilevsky's turn, he did just that:
Marshal Vasilevsky first uttered a few correct suggestions, but in Zuihou he always said something that obviously sounded wrong. But again it is a small suggestion that does not matter.
And Stalin, after hearing this, of course, criticized those erroneous little suggestions. Then, logically, the correct suggestion of Marshal Vasilevsky was affirmed. as a wise decision for himself.
Vasilevsky did this, of course, in order to preserve Stalin's leadership authority. However, Stalin actually knew the little tricks of Marshal Vasilevsky, so when he arrived in Zuihou, Stalin still gave Marshal Vasilevsky the great glory of commanding the Far Eastern Front, and the Soviet Army in World War II to destroy the Japanese Kwantung Army.
This is also really impressive, a high-ranking general of the Soviet army who can survive and grow up from the purge of the butcher Stalin. They do have two brushes!
It can be seen from this little story that in fact, the subordinates do not make suggestions to their bosses as correctly as possible, but deliberately leave some small mistakes for the boss to correct to show the superior's cleverness. Otherwise. It's easy to be hated by your boss. This is also the reason why many white-collar workers complain that their bosses are jealous of their talents, in fact, they only need to pay attention to this little trick. It's not easy to mix in the workplace! And it's not easy for Wu Shigong to mix in the Ming officialdom!
In late February of the seventh year of Chongzhen, Chen Qiyu, as the military governor of the five provinces, transferred all the officers and troops to gather in Shaanzhou (now Shaanxi County) in Henan, preparing to move south and attack the peasant rebels in Junxian and Zhushan areas of Hubei.
And this time, Wu Shigong's Runing Battalion, Li Lu's Yexian Battalion, and Zhao Ming's Guide Dewei, who created the Ruzhou Victory, are also on the list. This time Chen Qiyu was a new official, and no one knew who his three fires would burn on, so after receiving the order, Wu Shigong immediately entrusted the affairs of civil affairs to Deng Qifan, and he came to Shaanzhou with Zhou Xun, a cavalry regiment and Tao Xin's five hundred personal soldiers.
And Nanyang guerrilla Li Lu and Guide Dewei commanded Zhao Ming also went with their own soldiers, and this time even the old man Zhao Ming didn't dare to pretend to be sick anymore.
When Wu Shigong arrived at the camp of the encirclement and suppression army, he was only one day earlier than the scheduled assembly time, and as soon as he entered the camp, he attracted the attention of many people. Because Wu Shigong's men and horses were full cavalry, with excellent weapons and armor, and well-equipped men and horses, other Ming generals inquired about Wu Shigong's origins.
But before Wu Shigong could settle down in the camp, a military attache of the Ming army immediately came over to give Wu Shigong a dismount.
That military attache of the Ming army was none other than the chief soldier Zuo Liangyu. In just a few years, Zuo Liangyu went from a convicted low-level military attache to a chief military officer, and it was when he was in high spirits, and he really won some battles.
But Zuo Liangyu always had a heart problem, and he had been hearing from his bed partner, Hou Sui, how brave and how good a local military attache named Wu Shigong in Henan was, so he had already risen in his heart to be competitive. Therefore, after learning that it was Wu Shigong who arrived, Zuo Liangyu took the initiative to step forward to provoke Wu Shigong.
Wu Shigong saw an unknown general soldier coming over with dozens of personal soldiers, but he didn't dare to be rude, and hurriedly bowed to Zuo Liangyu.
But Zuo Liangyu didn't return the salute at all, he looked at Wu Shigong condescendingly for a while, and then said domineeringly: "Wu Shigong, is it?" That's it! ”
Zuo Liangyu's words caused a burst of laughter from the soldiers around him. And at this time, Wu Shigong also understood that Zuo Liangyu was here to stir up trouble. Since this is the case, Wu Shigong is not polite. So Wu Shigong still pretended to be respectful and asked, "Dare to ask this handsome man's surname?" ”
"The surname of this chief soldier is Zuo, and his name is Liangyu." Zuo Liangyu's self-introduction still seems very arrogant.
But after hearing Zuo Liangyu's answer, Wu Shigong immediately straightened his waist, he rolled his eyes at Zuo Liangyu, and spit out three words: "I don't know!" Then he turned around and showed Zuo Liangyu the back of his head. And Wu Shigong's answer also made the soldiers around him laugh.
Zuo Liangyu's face turned purple with anger, but when he saw that he was in the away game, the words of the civil attack and the military guard would be at a disadvantage, so he threw down the sentence: "Arrogance!" After that, he retreated in disgrace.
And after seeing Zuo Liangyu's embarrassment, how could these bad boys like Ru Ningjun let go? They were a burst of commotion and a burst of whistles, which provoked the other Ming troops around them to look sideways. And Zuo Liangyu's appearance of suffering also fell in the eyes of the surrounding Ming army.
So it didn't take long for Zhao Ming, the commander of Gui Dewei, who arrived first, to visit. They are all old acquaintances, so after the two of them saluted, Wu Shigong asked with a smile: "Who is that fool named Zuo Liangyu?" ”
Zhao Ming also replied with a smile: "Who knows!" Wu Shigong asked Yu Blind. Ask Zhao Ming how many fireworks and willow lanes there are in the city of Defu, Zhao Ming can know everything about it, but ask the generals of the Ming army, Zhao Ming is not as good as Wu Shigong, who often reads the newspaper.
However, for the collection and dissemination of gossip, Zhao Ming is enthusiastic about it: "I heard that the general soldier Zuo also stayed in Beizhili and Liaodong, so it seems that he has won a few big battles." Anyway, there are a lot of people who envelop him. ”
"Two days ago, Gonggong Xiao, the master of the army, held a banquet, and a concubine of Gonggong Xiao was called out to dance. Then General Zuo took a fancy to it. Unexpectedly, Father-in-law Xiao gave the concubine to him after changing hands. Gee! That concubine heard that she was born as a famous prostitute in Yangzhou, that figure, that voice! It's so memorable! Zhao Ming made a look of intoxication.
Wu Shigong immediately quipped: "So your saliva can't help but flow down!" I said that you are so old, you are not afraid of the wind right away? ”
Hearing Wu Shigong's joke, Zhao Ming didn't care, he also said with a smile: "Just think about it, you have a weak heart!" But this time, the old brother has come out, and he only has more than 200 children who have returned to Dewei, Wu Dusi has to take care of one or two, and he can't leave it alone when the time comes! ”
Wu Shigong immediately patted his chest: "The family doesn't talk to each other." You're a veteran of your own office. I thought about it, I have to have someone to guard the house! When the time comes, I would like to mention it to all the adults, so that you can return to the German defense lineup. Let's let us young people come to the war. ”
Hearing Wu Shigong's promise, Zhao Ming smiled with satisfaction.
But at this moment, Wu Shigong and Zhao Ming suddenly heard a quarrel next to them! So the two immediately looked in the direction of the quarrel, and immediately saw an old acquaintance - Nanyang guerrilla Li Lu. (To be continued......)
