572 Chongzhen reigned for one day, and he would never rebel against Ming

[Today's chapter is presented, please collect and subscribe! ] Eleven is here, I wish you all a happy fun! 】

At this time, when Lu Yuan said this, his face was sad and unwilling, and even turned into an angry roar in the end.

It's as if he was complaining about the injustice of the imperial court, and they did not get the reward they deserved, but they did not get the trust and false accusations they received.

But in fact, the real situation, the casualties of the White Dragon Army in this battle, the total number of casualties before and after, is only about 4,000 people, how can there be more than 20,000 people as Lu Yuan said.

But in this case, of course, Lu Yuan can say how miserable the White Dragon Army is in this battle.

Originally, at this time, Lu Xiangsheng wanted to exclaim and praise after learning that Li Zixiao had sent troops to occupy Jinzhou, and even Zhenjiang had achieved such amazing results.

However, when Lu Xiangsheng heard Lu Yuan's words, he was silent.

Because, what Lu Yuan said is right, at this time, even if Li Zixiao led his subordinates to make such a great contribution.

With Chongzhen's temperament, Li Zixiao, who can no longer be trusted, will never give him any more rewards, and as for what rewards such as silver, it is even more impossible.

What Chongzhen lacks most now is silver, and it is impossible to take out the silver to reward the White Dragon Army.

At this moment, Lu Xiangsheng found that he was speechless, originally he was going to reprimand Li Zixiao and them, but now he was embarrassed to speak.

"I will report your results in Jinzhou and Zhenjiang to the Holy Lord, but all the soldiers and generals who have made great contributions to the imperial court, the imperial court and the Holy Lord will not forget them."

Finally, Lu Xiangsheng said in a deep voice.

"It doesn't matter, my general said, he didn't expect the court to reward us, but this does not affect my general's hatred of the Tartars and continue to attack.

Now Lord Lu understands why my general wants to take Dengzhou.

Because we need the port of Dengzhou, our men and horses who remain in Jinzhou, if they want to hold Jinzhou, they need a stable supply line by sea.

Dengzhou Port is undoubtedly the closest and most suitable docking port from Lushun Port on the other side of the strait, so my general will settle in Dengzhou Port.

My general asked me to tell Lord Lu that no matter what, since we have already entered Dengzhou, we will never withdraw again.

In that case, it would be tantamount to giving up holding on to the Golden State, and I hope Lord Lu will explain this to the court and the saints. ”

Lu Yuan looked at the pensive Lu Xiangsheng and continued.

"Well, I will." Lu Xiangsheng nodded and responded.

Now, although Lu Xiangsheng still doesn't support it in his heart, Li Zixiao obtained Dengzhou in this way, but he understands that Li Zixiao needs Dengzhou at this time.

Just relied on Li Zixiao to occupy Jinzhou, and bit down an enclave on the territory of the Tartars outside the Guan, which was something that the Ming Dynasty could not do for decades.

Based on this alone, it is completely most advantageous to let Li Zixiao enter Dengzhou and gain control of Dengzhou.

If Li Zixiao can hold Jinzhou, there is no doubt that he has nailed a nail in the territory of the Tartars outside the Guan, which will make the Tartars like a fish in the throat.

In this way, it is completely worth it for Daming to pay a mere Dengzhou City.

Besides, Li Zixiao is still a Ming general, and Dengzhou is garrisoned by him, at least in terms of reputation.

Lu Xiangsheng was very embarrassed to find out at this time that he originally came to persuade Li Zixiao for the emperor to withdraw from Dengzhou, but now he found that he was persuaded by Li Zixiao's side.

"Lord Lu, this is a handwritten letter left by the general of my family, saying that it was left for Lord Lu." Lu Yuan finally handed Lu Xiangsheng a letter.

After Lu Xiangsheng opened the letter, he saw that it was a passage written by Li Zixiao himself: "Ben will always respect Lord Lu's personality and regard Lord Lu as a role model."

The court and the emperor treated me like this, which made Ben Jiang feel cold, but this still did not affect my loyalty to Da Ming and the Sheng, and Ben Jiang also did not want to die in vain.

The general could have given Lord Lu a promise, as long as the emperor reigns for one day, I, Li, will never betray Ming, otherwise there will be five thunderstorms in the sky. ”

This is what Li Zixiao wants to tell Lu Xiangsheng, as long as Chongzhen reigns for one day, he will never rebel, of course, if Chongzhen dies, then say otherwise.

"That's it, that's it, the official doesn't care about Dengzhou, it's time for the official to go to Liaodong." Finally, Lu Xiangsheng sighed and said.

In the end, Lu Xiangsheng simply didn't want to care about Dengzhou, he wanted to set off for Liaodong and borrow a ship from Lu Yuan.

"Lord Lu is going to the Songjin front?"

"Yes, in the past half a month on the Songjin front, the war has become more and more unfavorable to Hong Chengchou, and the Holy Lord sent his official to Liaodong to assist Hong Chengchou and win this battle."

Lu Xiangsheng nodded and said with a solemn face.

"Doesn't Lord Lu know the situation on the Songjin front at this time? Hong Chengchou's 130,000-strong army was defeated in less than half a month.

At this time, more than 100,000 people and horses of our Ming Dynasty on the Songjin front line had already been scattered, and even the governor Hong, who was besieged by the Tartars at this time, was trapped in Songshan City and could not break through.

At this time, even if Lord Lu passes, it is estimated that it will be difficult to save the situation, my general said......"

"What? What did you say! ”

Before Lu Yuan's words were finished, Lu Xiangsheng in front of him lost his temper, rushed directly to Lu Yuan, grabbed him by the collar, and shouted loudly.

Lu Xiangsheng's sudden excited action not only startled Lu Yuan, but also alarmed the soldiers standing guard next to him, and several white dragon soldiers directly raised their spears and aimed them at Lu Xiangsheng.

"It's okay, put away your weapons."

Lu Yuan was afraid of the White Dragon Sergeant next to him and injured Lu Xiangsheng, so he hurriedly scolded the White Dragon Sergeant on both sides.

Then, Lu Yuan turned his head to look at Lu Xiangsheng, who was looking excited in front of him, and said with a wry smile: "Lord Lu, can you not be excited, at least let go of your hand." ”

At this time, Lu Xiangsheng also realized that his behavior was too radical, so he quickly let go of the hands that grabbed Lu Yuan's collar, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, it's the official who has lost his temper." ”

But then, Lu Xiangsheng didn't care about anything else, and immediately asked Lu Yuan, "General Lu, what did you mean by what you just said?"

What is the meaning that Governor Hong was defeated half a month ago and was still trapped in Songshan City, where did you get the news? Why is it different from the news received by the imperial court?

Why did this official get the news from the Shengshang, it just said that Governor Hong lost the battle on the Songjin front and fell into passivity, how could there be such a big deviation! ”

"Lord Lu doesn't care where we got the information, but at this time, Governor Hong was indeed defeated on the Songjin front, and more than 100,000 troops were scattered.

Although at this time, the four cities of Jinzhou, Songshan, Tashan, and Xingshan were still in the hands of my Ming Dynasty, but they were all besieged by the heavy Tartar army.

In the case that Governor Hong was trapped in Songshan and the main army of our Ming Dynasty was scattered, the Songjin front line at this time Jinzhou, Songshan and other four cities fell, and it is estimated that there is only a matter of time left.

Even, at this time, Governor Hong, who was surrounded by the Tartars in Songshan City, was only accompanied by less than 10,000 remnants of soldiers, and he was unable to break through at all.

This happened half a month ago, and it is impossible for the Imperial Military Department not to get the news.

As for why what the Holy Lord and Lord Lu said is different from what we have learned, then Lord Lu can't ask me Lu, but should ask the adults in the military department. ”

Lu Yuan said to Lu Xiang seriously.

After Lu Xiangsheng heard what Lu Yuan said, his face was cloudy, and his heart was full of thoughts, he didn't believe that Chongzhen would deceive him in this matter.

At the same time, he knew that if what Lu Yuan said was true, Hong Chengchou's 130,000 Ming elites would have broken up the Tartars half a month ago.

Now the four cities of Jinzhou, Songshan, and Xingshan have been besieged by the Tartars, and even Hong Chengchou has been besieged by the Tartars in Songshan and cannot break through.

Then, the only possibility is that the people from the imperial court military department did not truthfully report the battle situation on the Songjin front to Chongzhen.

"Chen Xinjia, you dare to bully the king, it's just damned!" At this time, the green tendons on Lu Xiangsheng's neck burst out, and he roared angrily.

Lu Xiangsheng generally chose to believe what Lu Yuan said at this time, because Lu Yuan had no need to deceive him, and the truth would be known after Lu Xiangsheng arrived in Ningyuan.

In this case, it makes no sense for Lu Yuan to deceive himself again, so Lu Xiangsheng judged that what Lu Yuan said was true.

"General Lu, please tell this officer about the development of the war on the Songjin front in the past six months, 1510, is it okay?"

Lu Xiangsheng pleaded with Lu Yuan.

"Of course there is no problem, as long as we know, I will tell Master Lu everything."

Lu Yuan did not hide it at this time, and told Lu Xiangsheng all the true situation on the Songjin front.

Peng!

Finally, after listening to Lu Yuan's general account of the battle between the Ming army and the Tartars on the Songjin front in the past six months.

Especially later, Hong Chengchou led the whole army to the north, and within half a month, the battle situation came to a shocking reversal, and he slapped the table next to him with an angry palm.

"Lord Lu, this is the battle situation on the Songjin front that we have learned through some channels.

If the news we have learned is true, there is no possibility of reversing the battle on the Songjin front at this time.

Even if Lord Lu goes, I'm afraid it will be difficult to recover the situation, and there is even great danger, now Lord Lu still wants to go to Ningyuan? ”

Lu Yuan looked at Lu Xiangsheng and asked.

"Go, since the front-line war has been eroded to this extent, then the official will go even more, if he can rescue a team of my Ming people, he can let my Ming retain a vitality.

This official also has to try to see if he can rescue Governor Hong from Songshan Castle. ”

At this time, Lu Xiangsheng was still determined, and the unbearable battle situation on the front line did not seem to shake his determination to go to Ningyuan.

Looking at Lu Xiangsheng's decisive eyes, Lu Yuan couldn't help but admire Lu Xiangsheng even more in his heart.

Knowing that at this time, the Songjin front line is completely a Longtan tiger's den, and he still wants to break through, and this courage and courage are not something that ordinary people can have.

"Okay, I'll arrange a boat to escort Lord Lu to Juehua Island." Lu Yuan said.

"Then there is General Lao Lu, and this officer has a reluctant request, I hope I can borrow a man from you, can you?"

Lu Xiangsheng had the mentality of giving it a try, and asked Lu Yuan.

"I'm sorry, Lord Lu, I can't agree to your request." Lu Yuan decisively refused.

Before leaving, Li Zixiao had already explained to Lu Yuan that if Lu Xiangsheng made any requests, he would try his best to meet him, but there was only one thing that he would never agree, and that was to send troops to Songjin.

Now the battle situation on the Songjin front line has long been a dead end.

Unless Li Zixiao can have 100,000 elite White Dragon Army in his hands at this time, he may still be able to grasp the past and help Hong Chengchou turn the tide of the war.

Otherwise, after this time, no matter how much you toss, it will be in vain in the end.

The Tartars will slowly tighten the ropes on the four cities of Jinzhou and Songshan, and finally 'strangle' most of the besieged Ming troops.

"Lord Lu, we have just returned from the battle in Zhenjiang, we have suffered heavy casualties, the soldiers are tired, and we have no intention of fighting at all, we really can't agree to your request."

After Lu Xiangsheng heard Lu Yuan's reply, he was also a little disappointed, but it was also in his expectation.

"However, although we can't send troops to help Lord Lu, my general explained before leaving, except for sending troops, we will do our best to help Lord Lu.

For example, we have prepared a batch of firearms for Lord Lu, which is enough to equip 10,000 people, which can be regarded as a gift from my general to Lord Lu to go to Liaodong.

I hope that I can help Lord Lu and better deal with the Tartars on the Songjin front. ”

Lu Xiangsheng's eyes lit up, the firearms of the White Dragon Army have always been known for being sharp and reliable, Li Zixiao took out a firearm that was enough to equip 10,000 people this time and gave it to Lu Xiangsheng, but it was a big deal.

"Thank you for me, general, I owe him a big favor, I guess I can't pay it back in my life." Lu Xiangsheng said to Lu Yuan.

"Master Lu, when are you going to leave, I will send a ship to send you and this batch of firearms to Ningyuan together." Lu Yuan asked.

"The war on the front line is urgent, of course, the sooner the better, and we will leave tomorrow morning.

However, before I set out, I would like to send a recital to the saint. Report your unprecedented victories in Jinzhou and Zhenjiang to the Holy Lord.

At the same time, this official also wants to impeach Chen Xinjia, the secretary of the Ministry of War, who dares to deceive the monarch and conceal the military situation, which is simply unforgivable. ”

Lu Xiangsheng's eyes seemed to be about to breathe fire, and he said angrily.

"Okay, then Lord Lu will rest in Dengzhou City tonight, I'll go and arrange the boats, load those firearms, and we can leave tomorrow morning."

Lu Yuan said with a smile.

"Then there's General Laulu."

After Lu Yuan left, Lu Xiangsheng began to write the chapter, he had to report the real situation to Chongzhen, otherwise if it continued to delay, the situation on the front line of Songjin would be completely irreparable.

"My lord, if the battle situation in Liaodong is really as Lu Yuan said just now, I'm afraid it will be difficult to recover the situation if we go!"

Hao Qiang stood beside Lu Xiangsheng and said.

"Hey, that official has to go too! Hong Chengchou has these centaurs in his hands, but I am the last elite of the Ming Dynasty, how much can I rescue!

Wang Pu deserves to die, Chen Xinjia deserves to die, I will be defeated in the Ming Dynasty, there are too many generals and officials like Wang Pu and Chen Xinjia. ”

Lu Xiangsheng said hatefully.

On the seventh day of the eighth month of the fourteenth year of Chongzhen, Lu Xiangsheng boarded a ship at Dengzhou Port and was escorted by a fleet of the White Dragon Army Navy to Ningyuan City.

Two days later, Lu Xiangsheng landed on Juehua Island and headed for Ningyuan City.
