Chapter 675: An Unusual Lu Xiangsheng
Lu Xiangsheng couldn't be idle, and it was impossible to stay in the governor's yamen in a daze all the time, so he found an excuse and went out. The name is good: inspect the place.
Accompanying Lu Xiangsheng was Wu Sangui, who was originally stationed in Zhangjiakou, but because he was about to start dealing with the right-wing departments, he was also transferred over to help Lu Xiangsheng. Wu Sangui has a great reputation in this grassland.
These reputations are all made, and the people on the grassland only recognize their fists, and whoever has the biggest fists will listen to whomever they want.
Today, it can be regarded as Wu Sangui "bringing" Lu Xiangsheng to experience the "outside the customs".
This season is the fattest season of the year on the grassland, the sheep are fat and the horses are strong, and it is also the most cruel season of the year.
Because the Imperial Association Army has a special status, taking advantage of the horse market and has a lot of friction with many tribes, it is inevitable to fight and kill, especially the right-wing departments, these Imperial Cooperative Army who defected to the Ming Dynasty is even more hateful, but the Ming Dynasty is powerful, and even the strong Jin has been folded in the hands of the Ming Dynasty many times, and the Ming Dynasty has always taken a forbearance attitude, but obviously, the binding force has collapsed.
The Imperial Association Army is not a kind person, with the support of the Ming Dynasty, and trade privileges, life is much stronger than ordinary tribes, naturally have to maintain their status and privileges, for the tribes that dare to bypass their privileges, it will never be tolerated, but often kill some small tribes, of course, also part-time to do plundering business, now in this year, the grassland has already been killed into a river of blood, plunder is commonplace, this kind of business without a capital is very prosperous.
Today, in fact, there are both of these factors, that is, to kill this unruly tribe, but also to loot by the way, and even to start to act against the right-wing departments in Datong.
The Imperial Allied Army was responsible for fighting the war, while the Ming Dynasty was responsible for supervising the battle, pressing the formation, plus distributing materials, recording merits, and distributing shares.
The person who came to supervise the battle this time was Wu Sangui, and Wu Sangui did not bring many people and horses, and the new army was only about 1,000 people, while Lu Xiangsheng came to experience the "customs" and inspect the place. There are more than 3,000 Imperial Army, in addition, there is actually a group of border troops, who are followed to the grassland to fight the autumn wind, now the sheep and horses on the grassland are fat and strong, it is the fattest season of the year, miss this season, don't want to eat meat during the Chinese New Year this year, the border army appeared outside the plug, now, it is not a rare thing, now out of the fortress, not even anyone can come out, not "elite", people still don't let you follow, you say you want to go out of the fortress, you have to have a horse, there is a horse, in the border army system, it is definitely "elite", Now it is a beautiful difference to get out of the jam, in order to grab a place, I have broken my scalp, but the number of places is always limited.
More than 3,000 Imperial Cooperative Army came up and surrounded this tribe, this tribe, but did not escape, perhaps feel that this is the territory of the Tumut Department, it is relatively safe, the Imperial Cooperative Army or the Ming Dynasty will not cause trouble in this place, so, there is not much vigilance, because the Ming Dynasty or the Imperial Cooperative Army generally do not come to this place to fight, and they usually fight the Xuanfu side. But obviously, things are not absolute.
After this tribe was surrounded, it was a little panicked, but it was also living on the grassland, the reaction was very fast, and soon gathered people to start defense, although the tribal leaders repeatedly talked about xiwang, and even xiwang became the imperial army, but the imperial army did not give a chance at all, directly surrounded, dared to approach and shot to death, there was no need to talk about it at all, because it was the Ming Dynasty people who had the final say, whether they could be the imperial army, and the Ming Dynasty people had the final say, and the tribes that could be the imperial alliance army, the Ming Dynasty people would not let them surround it, Since it is surrounded, it can't be a trip in vain, it is ironclad to see blood, and ironclad is to bring back the spoils of war.
Lu Xiangsheng looked at the tribe a little farther away, this tribe, he "colluded", the people of the Military Intelligence Bureau are responsible for screening and judging the tribes on the grassland, and those who may become the Imperial Association Army are all recorded, if they can become the Imperial Association Army immediately, they will immediately become the Imperial Cooperation Army, if it is not very convenient, they can also become the Imperial Association Army at the appropriate time, but those tribes that do not deal with the Ming Dynasty are screwed out and blacklisted, and once they have the opportunity, they will be killed directly, leaving no mercy at all.
The Imperial Association Army also depends on people's own flesh and blood to provide for it, and a considerable part of the tribe must become the flesh and blood for support. …,
In the distance, the Imperial Association army is fighting around this tribe, and the Ming Dynasty is watching from a distance, Wu Sangui can't stop observing the situation with a clairing mirror, he is the supervisor of this battle, and he is also the commander, Lu Xiangsheng is smiling with a knife to shave sweet potatoes, after peeling, take a bite of sweet potatoes, take a sip of fresh milk, and eat with relish, as if this is a delicious meal in the world.
"Uncle! Who came up with this way of eating? How does Ben Fu feel that it is extraordinarily suitable for the situation, sweet potatoes are milk, it is simply a god, not only is it hungry, it is not convenient to eat, there is no need to make a fire, there is no simpler food than this on this grassland......" Lu Xiangsheng sighed while watching the battle in the distance, while eating sweet potatoes and milk.
"My lord, since His Majesty ordered the promotion of sweet potatoes, Tian Guozhang has planted a lot of sweet potatoes inside and outside the border pass, and after planting them, there is also this way of eating, my lord, it is indeed as the adults said, it is convenient to be hungry and ......" Wu Sangui hurriedly put down the clairvoyant mirror and replied carefully.
"Oh, I see, no wonder, it turned out that His Majesty had prepared for a long time, no wonder, no wonder......" After Lu Xiangsheng listened, he sighed a few more times, looking at the sweet potato in his hand in a daze. Sweet potatoes are milk, it is simply a perfect match on the grassland, milk drinks too much greasy, sweet potatoes eat too much rough people, these two add up, it is just right, and hungry, and solve the problem of milk, meat eat too much greasy, it is really a lot of one stone, and the best thing is that these two things can be eaten without a fire, and it is very convenient to go out.
Lu Xiangsheng looked at the scene of the battle in the distance, with infinite reverie, this battle seems to be he fighting, it seems that these soldiers, it is those imperial troops who are fighting, in fact, it is the emperor who is fighting, the early layout, the early arrangement, everything is just a matter of course, and there is almost no suspense in the matter.
Sweet potatoes are milk, that is to say, in the future, such a large territory outside the plug will be a ripe land that can not be cooked, and the place where sweet potatoes can be planted can raise people, and in the future, I am afraid that this outside the plug will no longer be a place where those grassland tribes can stay, and the people of the Ming Dynasty will definitely be able to adapt to these places.
Xiangdao here, Lu Xiangsheng sighed even more, the battle in front of him, in fact, Yijing had already divided the winner and loser, the emperor Yijing had prepared everything that should be prepared, and he had already outperformed the tribe a lot in the overall situation, and the rest was that they followed the established path, and it was almost impossible for an accident to occur, even if there were some accidents, under this general trend, I was afraid that it would only be crushed into powder.
"My lord, this sweet potato is milk, not only can be eaten raw, but also boiled and eaten, it can also be roasted and eaten, it is actually a good thing on the grassland, with him, you can save I don't know how much military food, I heard that Tian Guozhang Yijing is going to save all the sweet potatoes used to make wine at the border, ready to make military food...... Wu Sangui also said with emotion, this seemingly inconspicuous sweet potato, to the grassland, is really a rare good thing, and I couldn't help but say a few more words.
"Oh, and that? Who did the eldest uncle listen to? Lu Xiangsheng asked. The sigh in my heart was even worse.
"Back to my lord, I listened to what Zhang Dudu said." Wu Sangui hurriedly replied.
"Well...... Your Majesty Quannai is strategic! It is said that the soldiers and horses have not moved, the grain and grass go first, and Your Majesty has prepared the military rations for us early! Before the battle started, Yijing won three points first......" Lu Xiangsheng sighed.
"Yes! Obtaining grain on the spot can save the pain of long-distance transshipment...... My lord, this sweet potato can also be made into vermicelli, it can be stored for a year, even if we want to go deep into the desert, we don't have to worry about running out of food, this vermicelli stew is also very delicious......" Wu Sangui continued to introduce the delicacy in the army. Wu Sangui still has a good impression of this young governor, firstly, he is the emperor's person, and secondly, this young governor does not have the frame of an ordinary literati, and he is very easy to speak.
"......" Lu Xiangsheng was even more speechless, he was worried about the situation in Datong before, and he was worried that this war of 10,000 miles would be very troublesome, but now it seems that it is not as complicated as he imagined, the emperor was planning these things a year or two ago, and he made preparations early, the reason why he was pulled out from a civil prefect to become the governor of Datong seems to be the emperor is taking risks, but in fact, I am afraid that the emperor has already made a fortune, and he must have strong confidence.
There was some silence.
This topic couldn't go on, and Lu Xiangsheng began to watch the battle intently.
“…… Uncle Chang, these Imperial Association troops don't seem to be doing their best......" Lu Xiangsheng also saw that more than 3,000 people surrounded the tribe of thousands of people, and in fact, they had to deal with it, but there were only a few hundred people with combat effectiveness, and they hadn't been defeated yet, so it was really grinding. …,
"Yes, my lord, in order to reduce unnecessary casualties, the Imperial Allied Army first wore down the enemy's will, and then took it in one go, but my lord wants to end the battle quickly?" Wu Sangui explained, and then asked.
"No, the eldest uncle still follows the rules, Benfu just wants to understand the rules, this imperial alliance army fights, and those rules, the eldest uncle will talk about Benfu." Lu Xiangsheng said.
"Yes, my lord, generally, our Ming Dynasty is only responsible for supervising the battle and pressing the formation, generally not shooting, once the shot, you must win, this is the rule set by Your Majesty, in addition to supervising the battle and pressing the formation, I am also responsible for recording the merits of the imperial alliance army, judging their merits, and then distributing trade quotas to their merits by Yousi...... Wu Sangui began to explain.
"I see, I just heard about it before, I didn't actually see it, but now I see it, it's really better to be famous than to meet, this method is really good ......" Lu Xiangsheng commented, his training with the emperor was extremely short, and many things were just pointed, and now I have to admire the actual operation process.
"My lord, this is really good, this is all thanks to Your Majesty's blessing, Your Majesty Shengming! ......" next to a general suddenly said, it seems to be very jī moved, this general is the "leader" of the border army out to fight the autumn wind team, they also belong to the Ming army, under normal circumstances, naturally do not have to go up and fight hard like the imperial army, but the spoils, they can indeed get a lot, although the new army also wants spoils, but the new army's salary is extremely high, and some trophies are not so valued, such as cattle, sheep and livestock, population, tents, etc., most of them are given to these bitter border troops, It's good for them, the border troops. Now I am counting on him to have a fat year, and the general who can't marry his daughter-in-law has also fallen, so when it comes to this rule, this general can't help but read the emperor's good.
Looking at the border army generals who moved so much, Lu Xiangsheng didn't know what to say, in addition to sighing that the border army also had the courage to get out of the fortress, what else could he say, this side of the army could be stabbed by the emperor like chicken blood, ordinary people couldn't do it at all, Lu Xiangsheng felt that the chances of winning this battle were a few points more, the border army on the face of the Ming Dynasty had seven or eight hundred thousand, even if there was only one or two percent of the combat power, there were more than 100,000 people, even if the combat power of these more than 100,000 horses was not high, but looking at the current situation, it would never be too bad, fighting the autumn wind, It's still no problem to sweep the corners, and there is a strong new army pressing the formation, so it's no problem to fight a certain degree of hard fighting.
"What Counselor General Zhang said is very true, His Majesty Quannai is Shengming, so there is such a situation today......" Lu Xiangsheng chatted with this very moving counselor general.
“…… Uncle Chang said, how is the spoils of war divided? Lu Xiangsheng asked again.
"Back to my lord, it is generally fifty-five points, the Imperial Association Army takes fifty percent, I Daming takes fifty percent, my Ming side, there are three percent directly divided, and two percent are saved and burned for the aftermath ......of the wounded and killed Imperial Army," Wu Sangui said again.
"Well, this is really good, there is gain, and there is motivation!" Lu Xiangsheng nodded again, this is indeed as I heard in the platform at the beginning, using human flesh and blood to raise the Imperial Cooperative Army, although it seems to be a little unkind, but it is a very effective strategy.
“…… cough cough, my lord, the three percent that I Daming take, the general new army only takes some gold, silver and valuable things, and the rest is like cattle, sheep and livestock, all of which are given to the border army......" Wu Sangui thought about it, and still told Lu Xiangsheng about this unspoken rule, for fear that Lu Xiangsheng would not know that this unspoken rule would break the cooperation between them and the border army, although Wu Sangui didn't look down on the border army very much, but the border army won in the crowd, this side wall was their territory, and the cooperation between them was pleasant, they were welcomed wherever they went, what was the matter, I can also get help as much as I can, and the cooperation with the border army is quite pleasant, so naturally there will be no accidents, and the so-called strong dragon will not suppress the head snake.
"This Benfu knows that everything is done according to the original rules, which is ......," Lu Xiang said.
"Thank you Lord Futai for the reward, thank you Lord Futai for ......" The general was afraid that the new governor would not understand the rules and change the rules arbitrarily, and when he heard Lu Xiangsheng say that everything was as usual, he couldn't help but thank him immediately.
"General Zhang, it's not Benfu who wants to be thanked, Benfu is just doing an errand according to His Majesty's orders, if you want to thank Your Majesty, you should also thank Your Majesty, if you want to thank Your Majesty, you should fight bravely to kill the enemy, only in this way can you serve Your Majesty......" Lu Xiangsheng said. …,
"Lord Futai has taught you a lesson,...... Your Majesty Shengming, Your Majesty Shengming ......" After speaking, the general jī moved towards the direction of the capital and made a half-kneeling salute, this jī movement and feeling jī is not fake, the tribe in the distance, seeing that it is about to be cleaned up, the spoils of war are about to arrive, and naturally there will be no half adulteration.
As he spoke, there were some accidents on the battlefield.
There are thousands of people in this tribe, not a small tribe, and there are hundreds or more than 3,000 people who can fight.
However, things will not always go the way you imagined.
This tribe seems to be quite familiar with the Ming Dynasty's fighting style of pressing the formation and the Imperial Association Army, and it may have discovered the strangeness of Lu Xiangsheng's side. Suddenly gave up the defense, and all the men and horses rushed towards Lu Xiangsheng, probably attracted by Lu Xiangsheng's flag. It may be in the eyes of this tribe that if they can catch this governor of the Ming Dynasty, they can probably avoid the end of destruction, and may even make a great contribution.
"It's not good, my lord, those people have found out about the adult, maybe they are coming to charge the battle, the adult should avoid it......" Wu Sangui immediately found out that the situation was wrong, and his expression immediately became nervous, and let Lu Xiangsheng hide. In the chaos of the army, if Lu Xiang rises to a bad place, he can't eat and walk around.
“…… General Zhang, my lord will take care of you, and the official will intercept it......" Wu Sangui, as the commander, immediately issued an order, he didn't dare to let Lu Xiangsheng take the risk, and was ready to intercept it in person, and wiped out those people in one fell swoop, without giving them any chance.
"No need, Ben Fu wants to meet these people, see if these people have three heads and six arms......" Lu Xiangsheng immediately vetoed Wu Sangui's order, Lu Xiangsheng came to the outside of the plug to "investigate", what he wanted was this opportunity, how could he let it go, otherwise, why put a big banner of Liaodong Governor Lu here? Isn't this a clear way to let someone else rush into battle?
"This, my lordship,...... The safety of adults is important......" Wu Sangui was a little surprised. What does this fair-skinned, thin Futai want to do? Do you sit and watch people rush up?
"It's okay......," Lu Xiangsheng insisted. Seeing that the group of people was getting closer and closer, Lu Xiangsheng picked up the horse chopping knife in a hurry.
Lu Xiangsheng's move made the people present a little dumbfounded, this is a real horse chopping knife, this fair-skinned and thin governor picked it up so easily, and it seemed to be effortless......
Lu Xiangsheng pulled a sword flower, looked at the blade, and seemed to be very satisfied with this horse chopping knife.
The surrounding generals were all dumbfounded, this can't be made of wood. Why is this governor so light to play?
The group of people was still in a daze, and the momentum of the people rushing over was extremely fast, and they were close to here.
"Let......'s go, let's go with Benfu to meet these people......" Lu Xiangsheng didn't say too much, his eyes stared straight at those people, lifted the horse slightly, and then rushed forward, gradually speeding up......
The person who reacted quickly saw that something was wrong, why did the governor rush the team by himself? Dumbfounded, he immediately followed, shouting at the lord huilai, and Lu Xiangsheng, who didn't seem to hear it at all, gradually accelerated towards the person and hedged towards him.
To tell the truth, the most shocking thing was General Zhang, he, the "leader" of the border army, actually just wanted to fight the autumn wind, but he didn't expect that the new governor would actually go to the ...... in person, which was completely beyond his imagination.
"My lord, my lord, what shall we do?" The personal soldiers behind General Zhang saw that the governor rushed up, and Lord Wu who saw the new army also rushed up, but the border army they fought against the autumn wind was still working here, and there was really no place to put that cheek, so he immediately reminded his own adults.
Counselor Zhang, who came to his senses, was flushed with his face, and immediately shouted: "Protect the governor...... brothers, rush with me!" General Zhang immediately hit the horse and rushed up, anxious, ashamed, and ashamed, this cheek really has no place to put it, in case the governor has a good ......, General Zhang will not dare to think about it.
The two groups of people hurriedly hedged, Lu Xiangsheng rushed to the front, followed by a person who was in a hurry with liver pain.
The two groups of people collided rapidly.
Where everyone was sore for their hearts, the governor Lu Xiangsheng easily cut through a knight, bringing up a ...... of blood, and then a knight, bringing up a pool of blood again......
Everyone was dumbfounded...... RO!。
