Of course, a true elite division is not so easy to assemble. Even if those elite soldiers are drawn from various armies, it is impossible for them to obey the command and give the same orders, without a long-term run-in training.

But in order to cope with the current situation, at least to form an army stronger than the ordinary army, not to mention a bloody battle with the Manchu army, at least to put pressure on it, Lu Xiangsheng's purpose is like this.

After the military order was issued, there were various reactions in the army.

"Now you can receive military salaries, and there will be silver rewards, which is good!"

"But it's not, Lao Wang's side, their team doesn't collect and kill two Tartars at night, but they can get a reward of forty taels of silver, and each person will share some, which is a lot of money!"

"Yes, when you are a soldier and fight, isn't it just to take money and sell your life!"

“……”

Some people are moved, and some people hesitate.

"What if you die in battle? What should I do if I am disabled? ”

"That's right, just a little silver, how will you live in this life in the future?"

“……”

The army was originally depressed, but now after hundreds of thousands of taels of silver were smashed, they finally had two ideas. One is hesitating, and what should I do if I am afraid of being disabled? The other kind doesn't care about 3721, cares about his mother, and when there is a reward for silver, kill the enemy and take the money.

In this regard, Lu Xiangsheng actually expected it. Therefore, his newly formed army was actually ordering the generals to go with him, and the ordinary soldiers remained in the rear. In this way, although the army sent out for the expedition was reduced by more than half at once, its combat effectiveness was greatly improved. Correspondingly, it can also reduce the burden of logistics.

"We wish this soldier a victory!" Gao Qiqian smiled and sincerely bid farewell to Lu Xiangshengdao.

He was the director, and this time he was in charge of staying behind with minimal pressure. On the contrary, it was Wang Chengen, who acted with Lu Xiangsheng this time.

Lu Xiangsheng didn't say much, so he led the army to the battlefield of Jinju.

At the same time, on the side of Jingshi, the messenger sent back by Wang Chengen finally arrived. At this time, Emperor Chongzhen was discussing matters with two auxiliary ministers in the Wenhua Palace.

"Two Aiqing, this is the request of the auxiliary ministers I gave." Emperor Chongzhen motioned for Lan Tianbao to transfer the things to the two courtiers below, and at the same time continued, "Those who meet this condition can be recommended to the Ministry of Officials and the Kedao Palm Seal Officer, and let them give an official list for court promotion, how about it?" ”

Fang Fengnian was recuperating at home, the first assistant was not in Beijing, and there were only two auxiliary ministers in the cabinet, so he was really busy. Therefore, it is also a matter of course that this additional auxiliary minister is added.

After Xue Guo saw it, he immediately nodded and agreed: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks this move is very good!" ”

But after Yang Sichang saw it, he smiled bitterly in his heart. Look at the requirements listed by the emperor, be honest and honest, just this one, how many people in the officialdom can do it now?

In addition, it is necessary to have local political experience and good political performance, which is also a high requirement.

You must know that in the past, a large number of cabinet ministers were Zhongjin Shi and went directly to Hanlin, and they have been serving as officials in Beijing.

He was thinking about it, when he heard Emperor Chongzhen ask him, "Does Yang Qing have anything to add?" ”

When Yang Sichang heard it, he couldn't do it, after all, the conditions listed by the emperor should be the basic conditions according to normal terms, and logically speaking, they should also be like this. But in reality?

Xue Guoguan didn't seem to have any hesitation just now, did he not see it or did he know that he liked the emperor? Doesn't he know that if he only wants to please the emperor and is not recognized by hundreds of officials, this auxiliary minister will not be able to serve for long!

But that's okay, Xue Guoguan himself is a-stirring stick, Xue Manzi is one, let him toss first, look back in the cabinet, who else can compete with him, the position of the first assistant will be his own sooner or later!

These thoughts flashed through his mind, and when he was about to make a statement, there was a voice from the inner servant outside the hall, saying that there was good news.

As soon as Emperor Chongzhen heard it, he knew what the good news was. However, at this time, he naturally pretended not to know, and hurriedly sent a decree to the messenger to meet him.

Yang Sichang on the side heard this, and couldn't help but wonder secretly, good news? What good news can it be? No matter what, he didn't believe that the Ming army could defeat the 100,000 Manchu army? Taking a step back, if you can't defeat the Manchu army, what good news will it have?

Thinking like this, suddenly, his heart chuckled. Won't it ...... Could it be that the high dive really rescued Lu Xiangsheng? This is what he doesn't want to see, and even he would rather the Manchu army destroy Lu Xiangsheng and then be defeated by the Ming army!

Sure enough, the messenger's report was exactly what Yang Sichang didn't want to see, and Lu Xiangsheng was rescued.

At this moment, Yang Sichang immediately thought of Lu Xiangsheng's resume. Born as a jinshi, he was in charge of the local government and served as the prefect of the daimyo mansion. Then he was ordered to reorganize the army, and he has been leading the army to fight without a defeat, and because of this, he has always been trusted by Emperor Chongzhen. It wasn't until Lu Xiangsheng was serving as the governor of Xuanda that he went home after his father's funeral. But after the Manchu army invaded Guannei in early October, Emperor Chongzhen was the first to think of Lu Xiangsheng, and he was also named the secretary of the military department, commanding the soldiers and horses of the world.

If it was before, Yang Sichang actually didn't care. Because his strategy of settling outside must first be at home, he was accepted by the anxious Emperor Chongzhen. In other words, he Yang Sichang is even more important than Lu Xiangsheng. As a result, he became an assistant minister to the cabinet and was also in charge of military affairs. And Lu Xiangsheng almost became a victim of his strategy.

But now, Emperor Chongzhen has refuted the policy of settling the outside world first, and attaches more importance to Lu Xiangsheng than ever before. In this way, after this battle, even if Lu Xiangsheng is no longer promoted, if he really goes to Beijing to become the secretary of the military department with real power instead of concurrently serving as a part-time officer, then how can he manage military affairs? As a cabinet minister, he will become a nominal minister!

At this moment, Yang Sichang felt a threat that he had never felt before, and his heart was so heavy that he didn't hear clearly what Emperor Chongzhen said. Even Emperor Chongzhen's another decree was sent to Lu Xiangsheng, and he didn't pay much attention to it. With that, he returned to the cabinet in a daze, and then dispersed back to his home.

Rescuing Lu Xiangsheng and forcing the Manchu army to evacuate, no matter what, this is a good thing, for today's Jingshi, it must be widely publicized, at least so that everyone can celebrate the New Year with peace of mind!

However, when the news spread in Beijing, some people were not happy and worried. Because this thing is not what they want to see.

Fan Fu hurriedly left Qianzhuang and rushed to the palace of Liu Meicai, the imperial historian. Before entering the mansion, he was still quite cautious, looked around, and after finding no one, he entered the Liu mansion. However, he didn't expect that in the corner, there were several pairs of eyes staring at him.
