"Brother Jin Yuan, your hands must be numb when answering letters these days!" Wu Shigong joked to Deng Qifan with a smile.

"It's not tiring at all! It's just the same copying." Deng Qifan also replied with a smile.

After the assassination occurred, nearby officials and commanders of various armies wrote letters one after another. In addition to expressing condolences to Wu Shigong and admonishing Wu Shigong to calm down, they were most concerned about Wu Shigong's next move.

In response to this, Wu Shigong also replied one by one. The content of the reply was nothing more than: Promise to unite around Emperor Chongzhen and do his best for the peace of the Ming Dynasty. Wu Shigong did not have the patience to repeat this kind of routine answer, so Wu Shigong put it aside

It was handed over to Deng Qifan, and he just signed his name in the end.

"Having kept a low profile for nearly ten years, everything was lost in one fell swoop. Alas! It's really not as good as God!" Wu Shigong sighed.

"Chang Jing, you don't need to be discouraged. After all, our objections have not been shown, and the court can't find anything wrong with us." Deng Qifan comforted.

Wu Shigong shook his head and said: "Based on just a few letters from us? A few words? The court really believes that there is a ghost. It's just that they haven't broken their skin for the time being, but their wariness towards us will never decrease."

Deng Qifan also nodded: "The same is true. We can only rely on time to slowly eliminate the court's suspicions!"

"Then the suspicion will not be reduced." Wu Shigong still had a pessimistic attitude, "The key is that we must have strength. Without strength, even if we are really loyal ministers, we will still not end well."

Seeing that the atmosphere of the conversation was getting more and more serious, Deng Qifan smiled and changed the subject: "Chang Jing! I heard that the person sent by the imperial court to convey the imperial edict this time is your old friend?"

Wu Shigong also smiled and nodded, and said: "You are talking about Eunuch Qin! He is an old member of the Emperor Xin's palace, and I have been friends for more than ten years. The days are changing and the stars are changing. These days go by so fast!

It seems that the scene when we were dating in the capital is still before our eyes!"

"Then when he comes this time, it will be easier to talk about some things!"

"Everyone has his own master! Personal friendship and state affairs will not be mixed together. Eunuch Qin has always been loyal to the Holy One. Besides, how many people in the world know the true strength of our Runing Army? It's good that they don't underestimate us.

.It will never happen that our tiger body is uplifted and everyone bows down and worships!" Wu Shigong said with a smile and winked at Deng Qifan.

Deng Qifan was also amused by Wu Shigong's actions. He laughed a few times with Wu Shigong and said: "Chang Jing has worked hard for many years and it has indeed achieved miraculous results. People who have not been to Runing can hardly see the essence of Chang Jing's soldiers. Those few

The governor's letter was full of grandiose words, as if they could defeat us with their officers and soldiers. On the contrary, Yu Ruzhou spoke modestly, and the other military attaches were even more friendly in every possible way. Except for Zuo Zongbing, he believed

Not even one came! Hahaha——!”

"The frog at the bottom of the well is not worth mentioning." Wu Shigong also smiled and waved his hand. "Then Yu Zilian has also been very depressed recently. He has made many military achievements, but the court is stingy with rewards. Moreover, he is not the prime minister of the five provinces, nor does he belong to Henan.

Relying on half of Ruzhou to support the army, Yin is very busy eating and eating food! So maybe we are in the same boat!" When thinking of Yu Zilian's plight, Wu Shigong couldn't help but gloat.

"You should be cautious if you are respectful! But this year is a big disaster, so Yu Ruzhou must also be suffering. The court is so partial, is it really not afraid that the people below will be disappointed?" Deng Qifan said again.

"We don't have time to deal with Yu Zilian's matter. However, he has captured a lot, so he can still sustain it for a while. I have asked the trading company to lower the price of the things to let him sustain it for a while. With him standing in the way,

Our northwest will finally have no worries."

Wu Shigong continued: "The major disasters mentioned by Brother Jin Yuan are really troublesome. You said that after I arrived in Henan, there was no good weather. However, these internal and external troubles, natural disasters, etc. are like the end of the world!"

Wu Shigong dared to say such taboo words, but Deng Qifan was more cautious. He just nodded and said in agreement: "Chang Jing has worked hard for many years. It has really ensured the safety of both houses. To be honest, Chang Jing really has true knowledge and insights!"

"

After hearing Deng Qifan's praise, Wu Shigong was certainly very proud. Someone finally saw the advantages of the time traveler! Deng Qifan then asked: "Where should the imperial envoy be placed this time?"

Wu Shigong thought for a while and said: "Let's stay in Fucheng! The conditions in Fucheng are better." Wu Shigong would never put Eunuch Qin in his camp to let Eunuch Qin see his strength clearly, "However, the imperial envoy

Safety is also very important and must be protected around the official residence."

Wu Shigong was bitten by a snake once and was afraid of well ropes for ten years. Therefore, he always had to take preventive measures. "However, Eunuch Qin has also sent a private message, and this time's edict has also been written in the letter.

." Wu Shigong continued.

"Oh? What's the content?" Deng Qifan asked.

"Let me be stationed in Runing and return to the second mansion of De. The number of soldiers will be increased to ten thousand. The prefect of Gu will be transferred. I will be rewarded with three hundred snowflakes and silver in the palace. And the Henan governor's office will immediately issue one year's military pay to the Runing army." Wu Shigong replied.

.

The snowflake silver in the palace is only of honorary nature and has little practical significance. But other points prove that the court made great concessions, which gave Wu Shigong a lot of benefits. Especially letting Wu Shigong stationed in Guide Mansion made the Runing army

Can legitimately exist in Guide Mansion.

So Deng Qifan immediately smiled and congratulated: "Then congratulations, Sir."

Wu Shigong also laughed out loud and said: "After narrowly escaping death, it's time to give me some sweet treats. However, the imperial court will not give gifts in vain. They want our Runing Army to send troops immediately."

"Is that true?" Deng Qifan asked, but he thought for a moment and then said, "The court is still worried!"

"So what?" Wu Shigong said nonchalantly, "Now our Runing army has expanded to 80,000. We thought we were calm for the time being and were thinking of reducing it. But now that there is an imperial edict, a new town will be built in Runan. Then

Liu Guoneng, Zhang and Luo are messing around in Nanzhili, so let’s make more trouble!"

Wu Shigong's emergency military expansion this time was because too many young men were deployed, which had affected local production, and the military expenditure was also too high, so it was impossible to maintain such a large army for a long time.

Therefore, Wu Shigong planned to take advantage of the arrival of the imperial edict and dispatch a part of the Runing army to Huguang. In this way, he could support the war with war, supervise Liu Guo's energy department in real time, eliminate some of the court's suspicions, and train new soldiers in actual combat.
