The sun slowly moved to the middle of the sky, and this time should be the warmest time of the day. But on Phi Island, few people come out to bask in the sun. The warmth brought by the sun is far less than the cold sea breeze.

However, at this moment, the military and civilians on Phi Island are all abnormal. Not only did they come out, but they all hugged the simple dock, all of them with solemn expressions, and they all watched a small warship slowly approaching the shore.

On the docks, the soldiers were already under martial law, and only the highest official on Phi Island was present. When they saw that the battleship was about to come to shore, they hurriedly walked a few steps briskly, and once again met them and stood up.

With a soft sound, the battleship landed on the shore and stabilized, and a tall figure appeared on the deck.

"Congratulations to Lord Zhongcheng!" Chen Jisheng and the others, who stayed behind, immediately knelt down on one knee and said loudly from the bottom of their hearts.

"Congratulations to Lord Zhongcheng!" The soldiers under martial law on the dock also immediately knelt on one knee and said in unison with the same heart.

Countless soldiers and civilians on the shore knelt on the ground, although the voices were not neat, but all the voices expressed one meaning: "Welcome Lord Zhongcheng to triumph!" ”

Even when Mao Wenlong was alive, every time he returned from a battle, he had never received such courtesy. Lu Xiangsheng was originally a literati, born as a Jinshi, and was the highest official in Denglai. Not only did he eat and live with the soldiers, but he also went to the battlefield in person, and his courage was unprecedented. The two wars were both great victories, and Dongjiang has never had a big victory. Capture a lot of food, so that the soldiers and civilians on Phi Island can live a little better.

Such a governor of Denglai, whether it is the military and civilians, or the officials, at least these on Phi Island, are all convinced!

Wei Mulan followed behind Lu Xiangsheng, and when she saw such a scene, she couldn't help but be excited. At this time, she felt that the previous days were in vain, life was short, and instead of being mediocre, it was really better to live a fulfilling life now!

She looked at Lu Xiangsheng's tall back, and she was also in admiration. It can be said that Lu Xiangsheng, the master of Jinshi, completely subverted her previous understanding. She felt that the little monk put Lu Xiangsheng on Denglai's side, which was really right.

And Lu Xiangsheng himself saw everything in front of him and knew that he had completely won the recognition of the military and civilians on the island, and he was also happy in his heart. He stood on the deck, puffed up his breath, and said in a loud voice: "Excuse me, everyone, get up!" ”

After finishing speaking, he got off the battleship in a few steps, walked in front of Chen Jisheng and the others, stretched out his hand to help them, and helped them up who were still kneeling. When the others saw this, they all stood up, then the soldiers, and finally the soldiers and civilians. It's like a wave, going into the distance.

Lu Xiangsheng was about to stride out of the dock, when suddenly, behind Chen Jisheng and the others, a person stepped out, bowed deeply and said, "Wu Daji, the official of the small country, has seen Lord Cheng of the upper country. Lord Zhongcheng is wise and martial, and he can annihilate Jianyu while talking and laughing, and the lower officials are so impressed that they throw themselves to the ground! ”

Lu Xiangsheng stopped, glanced at him, and recognized that it was the North Korean envoy who sent him to Beijing, so he smiled and said, "How about going to Beijing?" ”

"The capital of Shangguo is extremely prosperous, and the small country is difficult to reach the prosperity of Shangguo. There are many strange things, which make the lower officials brighten their ears and feel that the lower officials of a small country are like frogs at the bottom of the well! Wu Daji recalled the scenes he saw in the Ming Kingdom Jingshi, and couldn't help but reply with emotion.

Lu Xiangsheng listened, smiled slightly with pride and said: "I, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, is the real wise and martial artist, and the emperor is here, and when you go to Beijing again in the future, you will be more surprised." ”

Speaking of this, he smiled, and then said to Wu Daji seriously: "You have to remember the emperor's words, go back and convey them to your king, and don't leave it out!" ”

"Xia Guan understands, Xia Guan remembers, Xia Guan will definitely not miss it!" Wu Daji responded repeatedly, extremely respectful.

Lu Xiangsheng ignored him anymore, and when he turned his head, he saw Li Deming standing behind him, it should be that Mingzhi's injury was just right, and it seemed that he was ready to return to North Korea with Wu Daji.

After thinking about it, he instructed Wu Daji again: "Jianyu has suffered two big losses in a row this time, and he will definitely not give up." When you go back, tell the king of Joseon to be ready to resist the captives. On my side, I will also make it clear to the court and send troops to support you. ”

"The lower officials thank the king for the virtue of the rescue of the kingdom!" Wu Daji heard Lu Xiangsheng take the initiative to express his position, and hurriedly thanked him.

Lu Xiangsheng nodded, but ignored them and went to the barracks.

It didn't take long for his generals to gather. Lu Xiangsheng announced loudly: "The emperor is very happy when he hears about the Korean war, and he will reward him as soon as the good news arrives in Beijing." Among them, Mao Chengzuo and Liu Xingzhi will both be promoted to generals. ”

As soon as these words were spoken, Mao Chengzuo and Liu Xingzhi suddenly had smiles on their faces. Hurriedly came out of the ranks, clasped his hands into fists and said: "The last general is just following Lord Zhongcheng and making some modest efforts." ”

Honestly, that's not modesty. They didn't actually do much, and if they changed people to follow Lu Xiangsheng, they could still get this credit. Therefore, both of them were very grateful to Lu Xiangsheng in their hearts.

This reason, other generals, such as Chen Jisheng and others, also knew this clearly after learning about the battle situation from their subordinates. Therefore, when I saw them rewarded, I couldn't help but feel very envious in my heart.

Lu Xiangsheng solemnly stopped his hand and said: "Chen Jisheng, Mao Chengzuo, Liu Xingzhi, Xu Fuzuo?" ”

"The last general!" The four of them responded side by side.

Lu Xiangsheng looked at them and said: "This official is about to inspect the islands, and then turn back to Denglai and go to collect supplies, you must be careful to defend, strictly investigate the spies, monitor the Korean war situation, and do not slack off!" ”

"Yes!" The four immediately responded loudly.

With the grain recovered from this war, the Phi Dao side has been able to get by. With food, they have enough confidence, not to mention that Lu Xiangsheng is going to collect supplies, and the voice of this response is extremely loud.

Lu Xiang was promoted to the governor of Denglai and had jurisdiction over many places, including the Bohai Bay and many islands in Korea. Now the situation on Phi Dao has been stabilized. The war situation on the Korean side will depend on the movements of Jianyu. He didn't want to be idle on Phi Dao, so he was ready to take this opportunity to take a walk.

Unconsciously, a month has almost passed, and in a blink of an eye, it has reached February 28 of the third year of Chongzhen. This day is the day of the founding of the New Army. A total of 5,130 new non-commissioned officers passed the examination.

Not surprisingly, Wu Xiang, the general soldier of Datong, provided the most soldiers. Whoever let him and his in-laws add up, the family has the most. And Zu Dashou happened to be transferred out of the position of the chief soldier, so there was no need to compete with him for the position of earl.

As soon as the results came out, the soldiers were provided with the least punishment, and Wu Xiang was named Datong Bo as he had previously intended.

In just two months, Emperor Chongzhen sealed three counts in one go, namely Man Gui, Qin Liangyu and Wu Xiang. Such generosity made many leading generals think about the matter of being knighted.

However, Emperor Chongzhen did not promise any more knighthoods, and the new army was established, and he set up the Beijing camp early in the morning. He has to do it himself!
