Wu Shigong is now embarking on a new journey. Now take stock of his lineup.

Wu Shigong brought Zhao Ruya and her daughter Xiaojie, as well as their three maids, six servants, and a couple of old servants with two children. There is also luggage and some private money for Zhao Ruya. Because the fat powder shop can't be opened anymore. Zhao Ruya also brought a lot of finished products and boutique gift boxes of fat powder.

In addition, Li Xin and her maid. The two of them will break up with Wu Shigong in Jining, and after the breakup, Wu Shigong will send someone else to send them back to their hometown in Changzhou. Let Li Xin go home and get married.

Wu Shigong's own maid is two names, and one is a little maid. They are: the embroidered bamboo known as the close-fitting little padded jacket, the bamboo rhyme as Xue Yufei's ace little spy and the calligraphy and ink as Wu Shigong's eternal leper dog.

There is also the shopkeeper Zheng. The day before leaving, he found Wu Shigong, and he said to Wu Shigong: Wang Chengen will definitely send another henchman to be responsible in the gambling house in the future, so he still wants to follow Wu Shigong. Wu Shigong also understood the mood of the shopkeeper Zheng, so he followed him. Take him with you. Moreover, Wu Shigong is also a good person to the end, helping Zheng to pay off all his debts. And the silver to repay the debt, even if the shopkeeper Zheng temporarily borrowed Wu Shigong.

Wu Shigong brought the guards: the Yangwu Marquis Mansion sent by his father-in-law Xue Lian, including Xue Yongli's forty-one guards, plus the original twelve Xue Mansion guards led by Xue Yong and Xue Qiang, a total of fifty-three people. They were led by Xue Yongli.

Each of these Xue Mansion guards had a horse, a full set of weapons, a bow per person, and a number of arrows. In addition, each person had a set of cotton armor and a set of thick felt waistcoat for each horse. In addition, Xue Lian also gave ten empty horses with saddles.

Wu Shigong brought out all the 146 guards in the gambling house. But one of them was on his stomach.

Before leaving, Wu Shigong gathered these gambling house guards and politely asked them to voluntarily sign up to accompany Wu Shigong to Henan Guide. However, these gambling house guards were all born and raised in the capital, and basically never left the capital. For leaving the capital to go to other places, there is an inexplicable fear. Think about it: no one wants to leave their homeland!

Besides, because the current identity of these gambling house guards is Wu Shigong's domestic slaves, according to the rules, Wu Shigong will support them for a lifetime. Therefore, none of these people were willing to follow Wu Shigong to return to Germany. However, due to Wu Shigong's obscenity, they did not dare to propose it. Therefore, in the face of Wu Shigong's inquiry, they all remained silent.

But after being silent for a while, Na Hefei relied on his familiarity with Wu Shigong, and tactfully asked Wu Shigong: Can he stay? Wu Shigong was very crisp, and when people caught He Fei, they whipped him hard.

After whipping, Wu Shigong told the gambling house guards: It's okay for them to stay, but they have to go home in a wheelchair.

What a "wheelchair" is, these gambling house guards may not understand, but the phrase "go home in a wheelchair" is certainly not a good word. As a result, these gambling house guards immediately expressed their loyalty: they were all willing to escort their masters and go to Henan to return to Germany together.

This story tells us a lot about the fact that it is definitely a truth to shoot a bird in the head.

After leveling these gambling house guards, Wu Shigong thought to himself: Who let them quarrel to be domestic slaves at that time, and now if they dare to disobey, they deserve to be killed.

In addition, there were three Zhou Xun who followed, all of whom carried a horse and their own weapons.

On the way, Wu Shigong asked the two people who followed Zhou Xun, one of them was named Zhang Biao and the other was named Li Sanhe. Both of them used to be from the green forest, because Zhou Xun's father Zhou Shikun was kind to them, so they later went to Zhou Shikun's mansion to help Zhou Shikun. Zhou Shikun also married the two of them and became brothers.

This time, Zhou Xun ran away from home, and when he saw that his eldest brother Zhou Shikun was anxious, Zhang Biao and Li Sanhe volunteered to accompany Zhou Xun to Henan to return to Germany.

The more pitiful one is Qian Qi. He didn't have much left except for a waist knife he had brought out of the Terracotta Division and a few changes of clothes he had brought out from home. Fortunately, he can ride a horse, so Wu Shigong allowed a horse for him to travel.

Wu Shigong asked these gambling houses to escort the one hundred and twenty-four horses he had gotten from Taifu Temple at that time. Weishenme has four more horses? For seven or eight of them were foals, born of the one hundred and twenty horses. This time, Wu Shigong set off, and there were a few pregnant mares, who were still in the Zhuangzi where Xue Mansion raised horses.

These gambling house guards carried the daggers and sabers that Wu Shigong had equipped them with at the time. Everyone also had a long stick, which they could always attach to as a spear.

Xue Lian was also crazy, and got a hundred sets of saddles for Wu Shigong from the Beijing camp. In addition, each of the one hundred and forty-six people was equipped with a set of cotton armor.

Wu Shigong asked blacksmith Yang Goudan to build the thirty firecrackers later, but not all of them were made. So when he set off, Wu Shigong only brought a total of twenty-four firecrackers and ten handguns. In addition, Xue Lian also gave Wu Shigong two tiger squat cannons, two Franc machine cannons, and these tools needed to use these cannons.

In addition, he also gave his son-in-law Wu Shigong ten three-eyed fire guns. In addition, it was also equipped with 2,000 catties of gunpowder, plus more than 200 catties of Wu Shigong's own storage and more than 300 catties of crazy collection when he left, a total of about 2,550 catties of gunpowder.

Zuihou, Xue Lian gave Wu Shigong two hundred sheathed waist knives and six hundred spear heads. There are also twenty sets of ring-arm iron armor and fifty sets of leather armor.

Therefore, Xue Lian, the father-in-law, is really good to Wu Shigong, and the things he gave are more than enough to arm a thousand households. Although Xue Lian thought that his son-in-law Wu Shigong would basically not go to the battlefield, he still hoped to arm Wu Shigong better, so that he could completely ensure the safety of his son-in-law Wu Shigong.

Wu Shigong also took an arsenal with him. A few days before departure, Wu Shigong also invited him very sincerely, and the blacksmith Yang Goudan went with him to return to Germany, but Yang Goudan of course refused, and was so anxious that he knelt down for Wu Shigong, and his tears and snot flowed a lot.

Seeing this situation, Wu Shigong didn't talk nonsense with him, regardless of the crying and crying of Yang Goudan's family, he led someone to kidnap Yang Goudan's family of six, plus his three apprentices. He took people to his blacksmith's workshop and swept it again, except for the blacksmith furnace, and loaded all the tools that could be taken away from the workshop, which was really a pot of food.

This time, Wu Shigong carried 45,000 taels of silver tickets with him, plus more than 2,600 taels of silver. Most of them were earned by Wu Shigong in the past year, and a small part was given by his father-in-law Xue Lian when he was about to leave. There are also some that the little wife Xue Yufei forced to Wu Shigong for her own private money.

In addition, out of anxiety about the repeated disasters and famines during the Chongzhen period, Wu Shigong also brought two stones of salt, one hundred stones of grain, hundreds of coarse cloths and more than a dozen silk cloths. And ordered 200 sets of padded jackets. Regarding Wu Shigong's paranoid behavior, which was a little stupid, the Xue Mansion was a little confused. They don't understand, what are you doing with all that heavy stuff? As long as there is silver around, these things can be bought in Guide in Henan.

However, at Wu Shigong's insistence, his father-in-law Xue Lian still gave him these things from his own warehouse. Anyway, the Xue family has a big business, and these salt, grain, and cloth will also be moldy when they are placed in the warehouse. Since his son-in-law wants it, give it to him.

In order to load these materials and everyone's luggage, Wu Shigong prepared sixty-four carts, plus three carts for luggage prepared by Zhao Ruya and Li Xin themselves, a total of sixty-seven carts.

six carriages, one each for Zhao Ruya and Li Xin; embroidered bamboo and bamboo rhyme, let the two of them continue to fight in the carriage; a carriage for the shopkeeper Zheng; gave blacksmith Yang Goudan's family one; There is also a motorized.

Thus, there were seventy-three vehicles in total. Except for the carriage that Zhao Ruya and Li Xin rode in and their cart, which were pulled by themselves with five horses, the horses that pulled the other vehicles were all pulled by the sturdy ones from Wu Shigong's one hundred and twenty-four horses.

Therefore, Wu Shigong now has a total of 230 personnel and 195 horses.
