Chapter 7: The Power of Rumors

For the last years of the Ming Dynasty, Yu Xiaotian counted the officials and generals of the Ming Dynasty with his fingers, and there were really not many people who could make him respect, but there were two people he admired, one was Sun Chengzong, and the other was Lu Xiangsheng.

The two settled on the Ming Dynasty loyalty, but they died together in the action of the Jiannu army to enter the customs, Sun Chengzong retired at this time and returned to his hometown to raise his hometown, already more than seventy years old, but when he heard that the Jiannu army entered the customs all the way south, he still personally took his children and grandchildren to recruit the township Yong to the city to resist the enemy.

However, Gaoyang City was outnumbered, and it could not resist the onslaught of the Jiannu army, and it was broken by the Jiannu army in a short time, and Sun Chengzong was captured by the Jiannu, but he would rather die than give in, and finally hanged himself to death, and was loyal to the Ming Dynasty.

And Lu Xiangsheng can be described as a strange person, although he is a scholar, but he is brave and crowns the three armies, he can fight with a sword on his horse, and he can govern the world when he gets off his horse.

In fact, God has treated the Ming Dynasty very well, in the last years of the Ming Dynasty, God really gave Chongzhen several capable ministers to govern the world, but it is a pity that Chongzhen did not use these people well, his character is suspicious, and he has never reused these capable ministers, but he has reused Yuan Chonghuan, Wen Tiren, and Yang Sichang.

Although Yuan Chonghuan was capable, he was empty-minded, narrow-minded, self-serving, and open-mouthed, and in the end not only did not fulfill the five-year Pingliao he promised Chongzhen, but killed Mao Wenlong as soon as he took office, cut off one of the arms of the Ming Dynasty, and led Jiannu to break through the pass for the first time and enter the area of Gyeonggi, and finally he himself ended up with a thousand cuts.

Needless to say, Wen Tiren, in addition to being able to get power, this guy is the best at eliminating dissidents, but in terms of governing the country, he has no achievements, but he really knocked down a lot of ministers who are sincere and have the ability to turn the tide for the Ming Dynasty, so this guy is one of the gravediggers of the Ming Dynasty, and it is not too much to cut it with a thousand knives, but it is a pity that after this guy was dismissed and driven home, he has now died of illness at home, and he actually got a good death.

As for Yang Sichang, this person has a bit of ability, and it makes sense to be reused by Chongzhen, he has finally put forward a strategy to suppress thieves, and it is indeed under the strategy he proposed, Daming has entered the exile army in recent years, and has achieved quite a good shape, if it is not for this Jiannu entry into the customs, he is really guaranteed to let him succeed, and if he can't really get it, he can really be completely strangled by Zhang Xianzhong, Li Zicheng and others.

But Yang Sichang is narrow-minded, good at watching Chongzhen's ideas, doing what he likes, deceiving the upper and lower, in addition, this guy has a strong desire for power and likes to play with power, if Lu Xiangsheng can really follow the order this time, the governor of the world to resist the entry of Jiannu, then it is really impossible to guarantee that this time Jiannu may return with a feather, at least Jiannu will not be so smooth, at least there will be no problem with the loss of soldiers.

What a pity! Lu Xiangsheng and Yang Sichang themselves have contradictions, and on the matter of this treatment of Jiannu's entry into the Kou, the two have different opinions, and Yang Sichang wants to kill Lu Xiangsheng completely.

Lu Xiangsheng has now arrived in Shunde Mansion, and Jiannu's soldiers and horses have entered Guangping Mansion, and then Lu Xiangsheng will rush to the end of his fate with thousands of subordinates without hesitation.

To be honest, Yu Xiaotian really thought about this matter for a few days, he was not incapable of saving Lu Xiangsheng, although it was a long distance from here to Guangping Mansion, but he still had the opportunity to reach out, like he did when he helped Sun Yuanhua, help Lu Xiangsheng, at least have a chance to rescue Lu Xiangsheng.

But after thinking about it for a few days, Yu Xiaotian still made a painful decision, that is, not to interfere in this historical process.

Lu Xiangsheng is different from Sun Yuanhua, Lu Xiangsheng has a straight temperament, rather than bending, and his loyalty to the Ming Dynasty is absolutely impossible to rub a little sand, no matter what means he makes to Yu Xiao, he can't let such a person betray the Ming Dynasty, it is easy to save him, but it is difficult to subdue him.

So a person like Lu Xiangsheng has his own fate, he Yu Xiaotian is now going to save Lu Xiangsheng, but he gave Yang Sichang a chance to splash dirty water on Lu Xiangsheng, once Lu Xiangsheng is missing, Yang Sichang will definitely put all the blame on Lu Xiangsheng.

Presumably, Lu Xiangsheng knew in history that if he continued to rush like this, he would die at the hands of Jiannu sooner or later, but he still did not hesitate to finally take thousands of weak soldiers and rushed to the Jiannu army without hesitation, until he was seriously injured and refused to break through and escape, just for his own honor.

So Yu Xiaotian thought about it for a few days a long time, and finally decided not to find a way to help Lu Xiangsheng get out of trouble.

When he saw this information about Lu Xiang's promotion to Shunde Mansion, he sighed slowly and said to the people around him: "Lu Junmen's trip is dangerous!" I'm afraid he's going to die at the hands of Jiannu this time! ”

Sure enough, at the end of December, when Yu Xiaotian was preparing to prepare his troops and horses and re-board the ship and set off, someone sent a message informing Yu Xiaotian that Lu Xiangsheng had defeated Julu and fought to the death in front of the two armies.

Yu Xiaotian was silent for a long time after hearing this, and suddenly summoned the personnel of the intelligence department and instructed them: "Now you will write an article right away to spread the news of Lu Xiangsheng's defeat and death, Lu Xiangsheng is a loyal martyr of the Ming Dynasty, and he can't die so unjustly!"

You must let the world know why Lu Xiangsheng died in the shortest possible time, and you must advertise the world, the Ming Emperor does not want to resist the enemy, but secretly wants to collude with Jiannu and negotiate peace with Jiannu!

Let everyone in the world know the faces of villains like Yang Sichang and Gao Qiqian! Give Lord Lu a clean save, and comfort Lord Lu's soul in the sky!

In addition, we ordered our people in Guangping Mansion to find a way to find the body of Lord Lu and place it properly for the time being, so that no one can insult Lord Lu's body, and one day I will personally go to Lord Lu's tomb to pay respects! ”

In fact, through the intelligence system of the sea wolf, this time the intelligence system of the sea wolf in the entire Beijing division knows almost everything, plus Yu Xiaotian combed and analyzed it afterwards, and now the generals of the sea wolf, everyone knows why Lu Xiangsheng was defeated and died this time.

Although now the people of the Yu family army and others know very well that Yu Xiaotian wants to take them to rebel, and Lu Xiangsheng should actually be regarded as their enemy, but for such a loyal minister, no one can afford to look down on Lu Xiangsheng at all, but they have a strong hatred for Yang Sichang, Gao Qiqian, and even the current Ming Emperor who killed Lu Xiangsheng behind his back.

is so loyal, he can't get the trust of the emperor, so he was killed by a traitor, this Ming Dynasty is not dead, it is really unreasonable! Therefore, Lu Xiangsheng's death aroused the hatred of the Yu family army against the Ming Dynasty, making them originally have some soldiers who were resistant to Yu Xiaotian's rebellion against the Ming Dynasty, but now most of them have strengthened their determination to destroy the Ming Dynasty.

A loyal minister like Lu Xiangsheng was forced to die in Daming, so what good is it to do it for Daming? Such a court, don't do it! It's better to let their lord Yu Xiaotian come to the world and return the world to peace!

The efficiency of the sea wolf's intelligence system is far higher than that of the current official system of the Ming Dynasty, and under the instructions of Xiaotian, the reason for Lu Xiangsheng's defeat soon began to spread from all over Shandong.

Anyone who heard the news of Lu Xiangsheng's defeat and death all sighed for this, but after hearing the reason why Lu Xiangsheng was defeated and died, the people immediately set off a wave of angry scolding.

In particular, when some people heard that today's saints actually wanted to negotiate peace with Jiannu, and imitated the Northern Song Dynasty when they sent tribute to Liaojin every year to lose silver to Jiannu, in order to prevent Jiannu from entering the customs and plundering in the future, the people and folk scholars were even more scolded, they did not dare to scold the current emperor, but dared to scold Yang Sichang, many people privately thought that this kind of thing must have been raised by Yang Sichang and others.

So this basin is sturdy, and Yang Sichang is a yellow mud crotch this time, not is.

As the saying goes, good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles, and the speed of this rumor can be said to be unimaginable.

In addition, the sea wolf has its own carrier pigeon communication channel, and such news is fueled by the sea wolf, and the speed of transmission is unimaginable.

A few days later, in the south of Beizhili and other places, there were also rumors that Lu Xiangsheng was killed by the pit, and even when Jinan Mansion had not been broken by Jiannu, the news that Lu Xiangsheng was killed by Yang Sichang and Gao Qiqian in the Beijing division began to be secretly spread.

At this time, the news of Lu Xiangsheng's death had not yet officially reached the Beijing Division from the official face, and many people in the Beijing Division did not know that Lu Xiangsheng had died in the battle of Julu.

Therefore, as soon as this matter was transmitted to Jingshi, it immediately caused an uproar in Jingshi City.

And among the Jingshi, there are always a group of so-called Yanguan or Qingliu who are full of food and have nothing to do, Yang Sichang sat in the position of the first assistant at a young age, and some people have long been unhappy, and now someone suddenly broke such a fierce news, how could these people not seize the opportunity to slap Yang Sichang?

Many officials and Qingliu immediately became excited as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, and while feeling sorry for Lu Xiangsheng's death, they immediately wrote a bullet seal and violently impeached Yang Sichang, Gao Qiqian and others.

Although Yang Sichang is now trying his best to stop the news of Lu Xiangsheng's death from reaching Chongzhen's ears, but he can't stop the world's leisurely mouth, the news began to spread in the north of the Ming Dynasty like a plague, less than half a month, even many places in the south of the Yangtze River also began to spread the news, for a time this Yang Sichang rose up and dived, and suddenly became the target of the world's population and pen, and the Qingliu or the officials who did not deal with Yang Sichang simply heard the wind and played, wrote a bullet and sent it to Beijing.
