416 Zhenguo General

[Today's first chapter is presented.,5,000 words big chapter.,I'll see if I have time to code out the second chapter.,Please.!] 】

Half a day after Li Zixiao defeated Li Zicheng's nearly 30,000 troops, Li Guo, who was still attacking Ruzhou City, also got the news.

"What, King Chuang has been defeated, and his whereabouts are unknown!"

When Li Guo received the news, he also felt that it was a bolt from the blue, and he didn't say anything for a long time, but the news really made him unbelievable.

"Niu Jinxing, Liu Zongmin and Liu Tichun, they are all pigs! An army of 30,000 attacked a small Yiyang, how could it be defeated. ”

Li Guo couldn't blame Li Zicheng, so he cursed Niu Jinxing and the others fiercely, thinking that it was their disadvantage to assist Li Zicheng.

But what scared Li Guo even more was that Li Zicheng had an accident.

"Withdraw!"

After receiving this news, Li Guo immediately issued an order to retreat.

Fortunately, not long after Li Guo retreated, he met the bandits sent by Li Zicheng to contact him, told Li Guo that Li Zicheng was fine, and asked him to lead his troops to the southern mountains to assemble.

Li Guo breathed a sigh of relief, if Li Zicheng really died, it would be the end of the sky for them, the rebel bandits.

When Gao Yingxiang was the king of Chuang, he was caught and killed by the court officials, which had already caused the division of the righteous army, but fortunately, Li Zicheng was able to take over Gao Yingxiang's position in the end.

However, if Li Zicheng dies now, there is really no one among his subordinates who can deter everyone and convince all the bandit generals, and then the division of the rebel army will be inevitable.

In that case, in the end, the official army will be cheaper, which is what Li Guo was most worried about before.

On the other side, Lu Xiangsheng also quickly received the news of the battle report from Yiyang's side.

"What, Li Zixiao defeated the thief in Yiyang?"

When Lu Xiangsheng led his troops to Xinzheng, he received a return from the scouts sent out, and he got this news that made him unbelievable.

"How is this possible, according to Master Lu, that Li Zixiao's subordinates, but only six or seven thousand people, how can they defeat the thieves with tens of thousands of soldiers, it is estimated that there is something wrong with this."

A middle-aged military general wearing armor and a long knife at his waist stood up and questioned at this time, not believing the news sent back by this scout at all.

"Lord Lu, I went to Yiyang in person, met General Li, and happened to witness the scene of the rout of the thieves and bandits.

Ladies and gentlemen, I didn't see that tens of thousands of thieves and bandits were being chased and killed by cavalry of more than 1,000 people, and I couldn't believe it when I saw that chaotic scene.

However, when I saw the collapsed Yiyang city wall and the corpses everywhere inside and outside Yiyang City, I knew what kind of fierce battle Yiyang had experienced.

In the back, General Li led his troops to attack the camp of the thieves and bandits at night, and seized the banner of the thieves, which made the bandit army very confused, so he was lucky to win. ”

The scout said seriously to Lu Xiangsheng and the other Ming generals around him.

"What a surprise attack, this Li Zixiao really no one was disappointed by the governor and the saint, and immediately ordered someone to send this good news to the capital."

Lu Xiangsheng said with a smile, in fact, although he was shocked in his heart, he still chose to believe it.

"Li Zixiao is already in Ruzhou, which has made a good start for us to suppress bandits!" Lu Xiangsheng was in a good mood and said with a smile.

"Haha, the army of tens of thousands of thieves is no match for Li Zixiao's six or seven thousand people, which shows that these bandits and bandits are simply a group of rabble.

When our army arrives, we will definitely be able to wipe out these bandits easily. ”

A bright general next to him said unruly.

After hearing the words of this general, Hao Jian, who was next to Lu Xiangsheng, showed a look of sarcasm on his face, and said in his heart: Do you think you can compare to Li Zixiao!

I don't look at my own virtue, look at the virtue of my soldiers, and the people and horses under Li Zixiao, there is no comparison.

Hao Jian was very disgusted with these Ming generals, and more than half of the ** generals present were officers and soldiers transferred by Lu Xiangsheng from Nanzhili, Shandong and other places.

After these guys received Lu Xiangsheng's summoning order, they began to ask Lu Xiangsheng for military salaries, but Lu Xiangsheng did not give them military salaries, so they kept grinding and refused to arrive in Kaifeng.

In the end, Lu Xiangsheng was helpless, before the recruits in his hands were trained, Lu Xiangsheng still counted on these troops to temporarily shoulder the heavy responsibility of dealing with Li Zicheng.

Lu Xiangsheng had to find a way to get the silver, so he has been delaying until now, and a whole week has passed.

Even Lu Xiangsheng once thought that Li Zixiao would probably fail miserably in Ruzhou, but Lu Xiangsheng never expected that Li Zixiao gave him such a big surprise.

Subsequently, a secret letter with an urgent request for 100 miles left Lu Xiangsheng's army and went all the way north to the capital.

Two days later, the capital was close to the morning of the pai, but Emperor Chongzhen was still sleeping soundly in the heavy curtain of the Qianqing Palace.

The palace eunuchs waiting in the dormitory were all calm, not daring to make the slightest noise, for fear of waking up Chongzhen.

To tell the truth, these eunuchs and palace maids who serve Chongzhen's life have not seen them for a long time, Chongzhen has slept so deeply, and he has never seen Chongzhen get up when he arrives.

In the past, when Chongzhen approached the hour every day, it was about seven o'clock in the future, and he would get up to deal with government affairs, and he often had to stay up late at night.

I have to say that Chongzhen's diligence can be counted among all the emperors in ancient China, and it is precisely because of this that the tragedy of the last emperor of the Ming Dynasty is even more important.

A sound of footsteps sounded outside, and it was so clear in the extremely quiet palace at this time.

When the eunuch Wang Chengen, the eunuch of the ceremonial eunuch, heard the footsteps outside, he also frowned, and said secretly: Who doesn't understand the rules, doesn't give orders early, there is no emergency, don't disturb the emperor's good sleep!

He moved gently, walked out of the dormitory, and came to the door of the dormitory, where it was Zhang Guangqian, the eunuch who was the master of ceremonies.

"What about the emperor?" Zhang Guangqian asked a little eagerly.

Wang Chengen hurriedly made a silent gesture and whispered: "Gonggong Zhang whispered, the emperor is still asleep!" ”

After Zhang Guangqian heard this, he was also very surprised.

As far as he knew, the emperor had not slept well since he ascended the throne.

In particular, since last year, the Tatars entered the customs again, penetrated deep into Shandong, and abducted hundreds of thousands of people, and then saw that the bandits who were already about to be pacified in the country rekindled again.

Emperor Yue didn't sleep well, and often couldn't sleep all night.

And now it's midday, it's half noon, why is the emperor still sleeping? That's pretty rare.

Wang Chengen said softly: "Yesterday, the emperor received an urgent report from Sichuan. Yang Ge Lao exterminated Zhang Thief in Sichuan and killed more than 3,000 bandits.

After the emperor received this good news, he was very happy and drank some wine, which was the first time that the emperor slept so sweetly for more than half a year. ”

After Zhang Guangqian heard this, he was also overjoyed, and said softly: "It is indeed rare good news. Since last year, the Tartars have invaded on a large scale, and the bandits in the Central Plains have resurged, and the emperor has never laughed. ”

Wang Chengen nodded: "Yes, after the emperor learned the news, he immediately rewarded the meritorious ministers, if there is good news in Henan, I think the emperor will be even happier." ”

"Haha, then it's even more time for me to come." Zhang Guangqian said with a smile.

"Even? What do you mean by that? ”

"I just received a report from Governor Lu that Li Zixiao led his troops to defeat the thieves in Yiyang and capture the flag, and the army of tens of thousands of thieves was defeated overnight, but unfortunately the whereabouts of the thieves are unknown.

As soon as I got the good news, I immediately rushed to the emperor. You say, is this great news, will the emperor be happy to hear it! ”

"Li Zixiao defeated tens of thousands of bandits in Yiyang? How is it possible, could it be mistaken? Wang Chengen asked with surprise.

Because as the most trusted eunuch by Chongzhen's side, Wang Chengen certainly knew that more than a week ago, Lu Xiangsheng reported the specific situation about Li Zicheng's army invading Ruzhou.

Wang Chengen also knew that Li Zixiao only had six or seven thousand soldiers and horses in his hands, and even if he added the officers and soldiers of Ruzhou City, the officers and soldiers in Ruzhou at this time were only more than 10,000.

If they refused to defend Ruzhou City and relied on the tall walls of Ruzhou City, they might be able to hold out for ten days and half a month, waiting for Lu Xiangsheng to lead the army to arrive.

However, to say that before Lu Xiangsheng arrived with his army, Li Zixiao defeated the thieves with tens of thousands of troops with the little strength in his hand, Wang Chengen really couldn't believe it.

Even if he knew that Li Zixiao led the troops to fight with a hand, and the soldiers under him were also very brave, he still couldn't accept it.

"A month ago, Li Zixiao had just defeated a thief in Yiyang, annihilating tens of thousands of enemies, and in just one month, even the thief himself was defeated by him?

Could it be that something is wrong, or is it actually fake news? Are you sure it's Lu Xiangsheng? Wang Chengen asked suspiciously.

"How is it possible, Li Zixiao is so bold that he doesn't dare to lie about his achievements. What's more, the news that the Tian thief, a subordinate of the thief, was defeated last time has been confirmed with certainty.

And this time, it is the good news that Lu Xiangsheng came in person, you should always trust Lord Lu. ”

Zhang Guangqian didn't believe that Li Zixiao had such a big courage to dare to lie about his military exploits like this, and he was so great that he couldn't fake it at all.

Even if the Ming generals who are leading troops in various places now have a tradition of false reports, they are exaggerated at most, but they never dare to make something out of nothing.

In addition, this good news was sent by Lu Xiangsheng on his behalf, which means that it has been confirmed by Lu Xiangsheng.

Wang Chengen felt that what Zhang Guangqian said made sense, he expected that Li Zixiao would not dare to bully the king like this, and he also knew very well about Lu Xiangsheng's loyalty to Chongzhen.

To say that others will lie about their war exploits, but it is absolutely impossible to get Lu Xiangsheng to lie about their war exploits on his behalf.

In this way, this good news is true. Oh my God, if that's the case.

Doesn't that mean that Li Zixiao has won two great victories in a row in just a few days, annihilating countless enemies before and after, even the thief himself was planted in his hands, and even the handsome flag was taken away. ”

Speaking of this, Wang Chengen didn't know what to say.

This Li Zixiao is really shocking, and he will always send unexpected surprises to the saints.

Wang Chengen knew that after Li Zixiao entered Beijing last time, Chongzhen also rarely laughed once, because Li Zixiao sent Chongzhen a million taels of silver.

This time, his two big victories in Henan defeated tens of thousands of thieves, although they failed to completely annihilate the bandits, but at least weakened the strength of the bandits and bought enough time for Lu Xiangsheng.

With these two victories alone, it is difficult for Li Zixiao not to become an official.

Wang Chengen had even imagined that Chongzhen would be happy when he heard the news.

In the dormitory, Chongzhen also slowly woke up.

Chongzhen stretched, he hadn't slept so soundly for a long time.

When he woke up, he felt a lot lighter.

Previously, the Imperial Doctor had been tactfully admonishing him to focus on the dragon body and avoid overwork, but he really couldn't do it.

He didn't want to look at the country left by his ancestors and lose in his hands, so he kept reminding himself to be diligent, but all the news came was bad, and there was little good news.

The increasingly powerful Tartars outside the Guan, the thieves who can't be suppressed at home, and the various natural disasters year after year, really overwhelm Chongzhen.

Chongzhen is too tired and weak, he hasn't spoiled the concubines in the harem for a long time, and he really doesn't have the energy to spoil the concubines.

He was sad all day long, worried about Liaodong, afraid that the Tartars would enter the customs again, worried about the situation in the Central Plains, and was physically and mentally exhausted.

For a long time, in this state of sorrow, irritability and panic, Chongzhen had to keep criticizing and twisting day and night, dealing with the affairs of the imperial court, and it was unreasonable for his body not to collapse.

Chongzhen's body was weak, and he couldn't do it, so he took tonics, anyway, there was no shortage of those big tonics for centuries-old ginseng in the palace.

He has eaten a lot of this tonic, and it is okay to make up for it a little, but if he makes up too much, it will seriously damage Chongzhen's body.

Yesterday, Chongzhen received the good news from Yang Sichang from Sichuan, and he suddenly felt a lot more energetic, and even suddenly wanted to drink.

He asked Wang Chengen to bring a pot of good wine, drank a few glasses, and then pulled Wang Chengen to say a lot of words, and then fell asleep and slept until now.

Chongzhen looked up at the light outside, it was almost noon.

Under the service of the personal little eunuch, Chongzhen took off his apricot-yellow nightgown, put on a bright yellow dragon robe, and tied a jade belt, and then walked out of the dormitory.

As soon as Chongzhen came out, he saw Wang Chengen and Zhang Guangqian, and rushed over with a happy face.

"Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor." Wang Chengen and Zhang Guangqian said in unison.

Chongzhen smiled and said to Zhang Guangqian: "Is there good news again?" ”

"Your Majesty, the official army has won the battle again,"

"Won again?"

Chongzhen laughed for a while and said, "Come on, which of my fierce generals won the battle this time, is it Zuo Liangyu or He Renlong?" ”

Chongzhen thought it was good news from Sichuan, but Chongzhen received a report from Lu Xiangsheng a few days ago, thinking that Henan at this time had been completely eroded.

He didn't have much hope for Li Zixiao, and only hoped that Lu Xiangsheng would complete the convening of the army in Kaifeng, and then go to quell the rebellion.

"Back to Your Majesty, this time it's not Sichuan, but good news from Henan?"

"Henan? Hasn't Lu Aiqing arrived in Ruzhou yet? Chongzhen asked suspiciously.

"Your Majesty, you have forgotten that Lord Li Zixiao is now leading the army and fighting the thieves in Ruzhou.

Three days ago, he defeated the thieves in Yiyang, annihilated more than 10,000 enemies, and captured the thief's handsome flag, and even the thief himself was missing. ”

"You mean Li Zixiao defeated the thief?" Chongzhen's laughter stopped, and he said in disbelief.

"But isn't there only a few thousand people in Li Zixiao's hands?

I didn't expect him to stop the thieves, as long as he could hold the city of Ruzhou and hold out until Lu Aiqing and his army arrived, I would be satisfied.

Now you tell me that Li Zixiao not only defended Ruzhou City, not even Yiyang, but also defeated tens of thousands of thieves, annihilated more than 10,000 enemies, and the whereabouts of the thieves themselves are unknown.

Can you believe it? Chongzhen also said in disbelief.

"Back to Long Live Lord, the slave didn't believe it when he heard it at first. However, this good news was sent to the capital urgently by Lord Lu. ”

"What about Lu Aiqing's twists and turns? Show me. ”

Chongzhen couldn't wait to take the fold handed over by Zhang Guangqian, opened it and looked at it, and after a while, he laughed out loud.

"Hahaha!"

After laughing for a while, Chongzhen walked to a palace maid, washed his hands in front of the basin he brought, and returned to the throne.

"It was indeed Lu Aiqing who sent the twist, so to speak, Li Zixiao really defeated the thief in Henan!"

After laughing, Chongzhen was in a very comfortable mood, he hadn't been so comfortable for a long time.

Chongzhen's impression of Li Zixiao was originally good, and last time he fought against Tartar, he also sent him a million taels of silver.

"Such a loyal and brave minister, I must reward him heavily, Li Zixiao fought bravely and loyally, and when he was rewarded, he was named the general of Zhenguo and awarded the seal of the general of Zhenguo!"

Wang Chengen and Zhang Guangqian were immediately stunned when they heard that as soon as Chongzhen actually opened his mouth, he gave Li Zixiao the title of general of Zhenguo.

Since General Zhenguo has a general seal, he is a general with a seal.

There are many generals in the Ming Dynasty, and many generals have been awarded the title of general and awarded the general seal.

If Zu Dashou is in Jinzhou, he will be crowned the forward general and hang the seal of the forward general. Another example is the former Shanhaiguan General Mangui, who once hung the seal of the general of the conquest.

In addition, there are many people who have been awarded the title of General Feng, Qin Liangyu has been awarded the General Zhendong and awarded the seal, and his son Ma Xianglin has been awarded the title of Hussar General and awarded the seal.

Among the generals who sealed the seals, they were basically general soldiers.

Although there are no strict regulations in the imperial court, only the general soldier can hang the seal, even if it is not the general soldier, it can also be sealed, but those who can be printed are basically the general soldiers.

Among the generals who hung the seal, only Ma Xianglin was with the rank of deputy chief soldier and hung the seal of the hussar general.

But the identity of the family is a little special, one is the local Tusi, and the other is the Qin and Ma families in Sichuan, who have been loyal to the imperial court and have repeatedly rebelled against the king.

A large part of this edict general came from the reward of the Tsushima family.

But no matter what Ma Xianglin is, he is also a deputy chief soldier, and he was only awarded the seal of the hussar general, while Li Zixiao is just a general who has just been promoted for less than half a year.
