104 Responsible
This Jinzhou Zhizhou is obviously a capable person, and he can organize the people to defend it strictly, so many days, there are five days, and it is hard to make the Qing army sigh at Jinju Wangcheng, and there is no hope of defeating it.
Jiazhuang did not fight, and Jinzhou could not be defeated, this continuous failure, I have to say, for the high morale of the Manchu army, it was indeed a blow, and Dolgon had to be depressed.
As for Lu Xiangsheng's side, it's still like that, it can't be extinguished, it can't be driven away, it's just a kraft candy sticking.
After thinking about it again, Dorgon decided to abandon Jinju and not spend it here. Whether it's time, materials, etc., he can't afford it.
Watching the Manchu army pull out of the camp and leave, the city's Jinzhou city resounded with earth-shattering cheers. The mighty Manchu army ran away in disgrace!
The people were cheering, and the squires gathered around Chen Hongxu of Zhizhou, congratulating the Lord Zhizhou with a smile, and also congratulating each other!
Chen Hongxu smiled, looked at the dust raised by the departure of the Manchu army, and looked in the direction of the Beijing division, but there was not much joy in his heart.
Now Jinju is defending, but his personal future has been overshadowed by previous events.
After all, there are careful people among the squires, who sensed Chen Hongxu's worries, and suddenly, he immediately clenched his fists and said: "Don't worry, my lord, now the officialdom is all doing things with money, Lu is willing to give a thousand taels of silver, and you can also make up some of it, and ask the fellow villagers of Jingshi to participate in the activities of the villagers to keep the adults safe!" ”
Hearing this, all of a sudden, the high excitement of the scene was like being poured a wave of cold water, and it suddenly cooled down. Other squires also spoke comfortingly, you say a word to me, how much silver you give, how much silver he pays, all of them say that they want to make up money to come out for Chen Hongxu's activities.
What they mean is one: Chen Hongxu offended Shoufu for Jinzhou, and now that he has defended Jinzhou, the people of Jinzhou naturally want to repay him. Otherwise, if the city is broken, the whole city will be ruined!
But having said that, after all, Chen Hongxu offended the head of the civil officials, the first assistant of the Ming Dynasty, and no one knows whether the money they have raised is enough to protect Chen Hongxu.
Chen Hongxu himself seemed calm, smiled and said to them, "Thank you. If I do it again, this official will still choose this way, for the sake of Jinju, this official has a clear conscience! ”
Hearing this, these Jinzhou squires were suddenly moved, and when they were about to say something, they saw Chen Hongxu suddenly sigh and said: "Actually, this official hopes that the imperial court can make decisions impartially, don't talk about money, and don't do things because of personal gains and losses. ”
Hearing this, the squires stopped talking. How could this wish of Lord Zhizhou come true! The whole court is now talking about money!
As for Guotai Min'an? Thinking of this word, looking at the corpses of the two Tartars who were abandoned outside the city, and looking at the remaining traces of the battlefield, everyone only sighed softly in their hearts, the scene of the end of the world, the peace of the country and the people is just a luxury!
In the original history, after the siege of Jinzhou was lifted, the imperial court really sent Jinyi Wei to arrest Chen Hongxu and put him in prison. In the end, thanks to the money pooled by the squires of Jinju and entrusted the fellow villagers of Jingshi to use the money, Chen Hongxu was saved and he was exempted from crime and demoted to the second level for external use.
In the evening, the Ming army did not collect at night increased significantly, and from time to time the sound of hooves rumbled, chasing in the direction of the departure of the Manchu army.
At the head of the city, although they were still on guard, they were also relieved to see that the Ming army did not appear so frequently at night. There were even squires who thought of a way.
"I have heard for a long time that Lu Shangshu is fair and honest, and he is the main battle faction of my Ming Dynasty, when his leader comes, I will avenge my lordship!"
"Yes, it is understandable that the adults will defend the city and refuse to be the first assistant, Lu Shangshu will definitely speak for the adults."
“……”
Of course, there are those who don't think so.
"Lu Shangshu himself has risen and fallen, and this Manchu army is not easy to fight, so I don't know what will happen in the end, let alone take care of others!"
"Yes, Lu Shangshu also has political enemies in the DPRK, right? If the Manchu army conquered another city, it would be convicted! ”
“……”
Chen Hongxu did not comment on their remarks, but just watched the Ming army hurrying outside the city at night, and understood very well in his heart. Don't look at Lu Xiangsheng is now the secretary of the military department, commanding the Qinwang army in the world, and it seems that he has a lot of power in his hands. But in fact, this is the hardest errand to do, and not necessarily anyone will want to take it.
The reason is very simple, the Manchu army was too strong, and the Ming army almost did not win against the Manchu army! In this context, the commander-in-chief army fought with the Manchu army, and the responsibility was very great.
Of course, it's good to win, but the odds of losing are even greater!
If you don't move or don't engage in battle, someone will impeach you for not fighting well!
Fought in the field with the Manchu army, defeated, if he did not die, then more people would impeach him for his incompetence!
Even if the Manchu army conquered other cities, there will definitely be people who impeach, saying that Lu Xiangsheng's rescue is not effective!
Basically, unless Lu Xiangsheng wiped out all the 100,000 Manchu troops who entered the pass, he would definitely be impeached.
Therefore, Lu Xiangsheng's position is actually a thankless position. With Lu Xiangsheng's cleverness, he may not know that in today's situation, this position is actually very hot, but he finally took it.
Thinking of these, Chen Hongxu couldn't help but admire the long-famous Lu Xiangsheng in his heart.
Lu Shangshu, such a responsible person regardless of personal gains and losses, is the real pillar of the Ming Dynasty!
The next day, Lu Xiangsheng led the army through Jinzhou and followed the Manchu army, which disappointed the squires of Jinzhou and did not see Lu Shangshu.
However, the quartermaster Yang Tinglin was ordered by Lu Xiangsheng to enter Jinzhou City and come to see Chen Hongxu.
When the two met, they were overjoyed and hugged their fists.
"Shiye!"
"Boxiang!"
Chen Hongxu, Zishiye; Yang Tinglin, the word Boxiang. The two of them have been friends for many years.
In the original history, the two were in Nanchang, Jiangxi Province during the Jiashen National Disaster, and they looked at each other and wept at that time, mourning the king.
Soon after the two met, Yang Tinglin personally rushed to the Chinese army to meet Lu Xiangsheng and told him about the situation in Jinzhou.
Wang Chengen, who was listening on the side, couldn't help but be surprised, and immediately praised with a smile: "I didn't expect that a well-born Zhizhou would dare to refuse to be the head of the court, this courage is really big!" ”
Lu Xiangsheng nodded when he heard it, he didn't say much, but he commented very pertinently: "He is a responsible person!" ”
Without hesitation, he immediately wrote a piece of music, and asked people to report it to Jingshi immediately.
And the day before this piece arrived in Beijing, Liu Yuliang, the first assistant, heard that the Manchu army was wandering out of nowhere, and he was so frightened that he didn't dare to stay outside anymore, and hurriedly fled back to Beijing, which was at least the safest place at the moment.
While pondering how to return to the emperor, he naturally would not let go of Jinzhou Zhizhou, the Chen Hongxu who did not give him face and "humiliated" him.
