344 Ming Secret Agent
When the holy decree replied by Emperor Chongzhen arrived in Liaodong, Lu Xiangsheng's side had already reoccupied Guanglu Island and Big and Small Changsheng Island. These islands are the places where the Ming Dongjiang Army was stationed after the army.
Nowadays, there is only the flag of the Ming Dynasty on the entire sea, so it can ensure the safety of the island. After Lu Xiangsheng made an inspection, he was very satisfied. At this time, he felt more than ever that the sailor was really important.
Along with the Holy Decree, there were also cavalry troops under Lu Xiangsheng. After all, during the previous war, there was basically no place for cavalry, so the war horses were only transported after the Ming army stood firm in Liaodong.
In addition, Emperor Chongzhen also learned from the eavesdropping seed on Turge's body that the Manchu Qing Dynasty was preparing to create a no-man's land by the sea, and intended to use cavalry to deal with the Dongjiang Army, which Lu Xiangsheng had to deal with at his own discretion.
Today's Dongjiang Army is not the era of Mao Wenlong. In order for the Dongjiang Army to have cavalry available, Emperor Chongzhen even deliberately arranged for the Dongjiang Army to seize 2,000 war horses. With the war horse as a maneuver, the no-man's land created by the captives is doomed to be in vain.
For these things, Lu Xiangsheng is not surprised, even including Zu Dashou's troops did not fight, in his opinion, the general will inevitably die in battle, even if he dies in battle, it is just a horse leather shroud. (At this time, Daming's side didn't know that Zu Dashou surrendered first and was killed)
In this will, the only thing that surprised Lu Xiangsheng was that Emperor Chongzhen clearly stated in his will that if he could capture a relatively high-status prisoner, he would be escorted into Beijing alive. As for what it was used for, Emperor Chongzhen didn't say. And even if they did, no one would believe it.
However, Lu Xiangsheng soon remembered Emperor Chongzhen's other seemingly unbelievable will, that is, if he caught the living White Flag Gushan Ezhen Turge, he would be let go.
Before, Lu Xiangsheng had doubts, could it be that Turge became a Ming secret agent? However, when he looked at Turge's background, he felt that this was absolutely impossible.
However, now, when Lu Xiangsheng remembered it again, he doubted again, could it be that the emperor really had any means to make the hardcore Jianyu become a Ming secret agent? It would be great if that could be the case! Even if you pay a big price, you have to catch some high-status prisoners.
The so-called knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent is the only way to win a hundred battles, this sentence, no one has a better understanding than Lu Xiangsheng, who led the troops to fight. If there were Ming spies among the senior leaders of Jianyu, he felt a little excited when he thought about this situation.
After thinking about it for a while, Lu Xiangsheng decided that no matter what the real situation was, since the emperor had already made a will, he would do his best to catch it.
Thinking so, Lu Xiangsheng set his eyes on Jinzhou.
After the Battle of Lushun, Jianyu retreated to Jinzhou. Its so-called Prince Heshuoli Daishan is in Jinzhou. However, it is precisely because of this that there are many soldiers in Jinzhou City, and it is unrealistic for him to lead the army to attack.
The heavy army of Jianyutun was in Jinzhou, which was also to prevent the Ming army of Lushun from continuing to recover Liaodong by land. Holding Jinzhou was equivalent to cutting off the opportunity for Lushun's Ming army to spread from land to other parts of Liaodong.
At the same time, Lu Xiangsheng also has another worry, that is, if he really catches this Daishan, he is the slave chieftain and his brother, how can a person with such an identity betray the slave chief and surrender to the Ming Dynasty? Don't end up, after a hard work, it's in vain!
So if Golden State can't do it, where is it suitable and there are targets that can be started? Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help but fall into deep thought because of this.
At this time, a subordinate suddenly reported that Zheng Zhilong had sent a fast ship to send a monk, saying that he was from North Korea and had an urgent matter to report to the governor.
When Lu Xiangsheng heard this, he thought to himself, a monk from North Korea, what can be the urgency of this?
However, he thought that Zheng Zhilong would send it over, and with his steadiness, he shouldn't have sent someone over casually. Therefore, Lu Xiangsheng did not delay and immediately ordered to see this monk from North Korea.
This monk, who was entrusted by Choi Mingji, the leader of the Korean Governorate, rushed to see the Dubu of the Governor of Baoding of the Ming Dynasty, and came all the way, but he didn't expect to hit the warship of the Ming Navy. At that time, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly waved his hand, and was able to connect with the Ming army.
He first met Zheng Zhilong, the commander of the Daming Water Division, and met this famous pirate king. In the battle of Arthur Bay, more than 300 warships collapsed when they heard the wind, which added to the aura of the pirate king.
In Dubu's impression, a person like this is definitely a hero, and it is difficult for anyone to overpower him.
At the beginning, Zheng Zhilong's aura was indeed the same. As far as I observed by myself, the Ming army in the sailor division was all respectful to Zheng Zhilong, which can be seen.
However, Dubu found that when he mentioned the governor of Baoding, he could keenly find that Zheng Zhilong suddenly lost that kind of heroic temperament, and became very respectful. This discovery surprised Dubu, and he was very curious in his heart, what kind of character is this Lu Xiangsheng, who can convince the dignified pirate king?
Of course, he didn't know that Zheng Zhilong's admiration for Lu Xiangsheng did not mean that Lu Xiangsheng was very capable. If you really want to say that, on this sea, ten Lu Xiangsheng can't beat him and one Zheng Zhilong. It is Lu Xiangsheng's commanding style of loving soldiers like a son, sharing weal and woe with ordinary soldiers, and going to the front line to share life and death, which makes Zheng Zhilong feel very admired!
So, when Dubu saw Lu Xiangsheng, the first time, he first took a look at this Baoding Governor Lu Xiangsheng, what does he look like?
Just glanced at it, and he immediately had an impression: Lu Xiangsheng is very tall, and he should belong to the kind of powerful and powerful category; However, he has an elegant temperament, and at first glance he is a scholar. There are two kinds of civil and military, which are reflected in Lu Xiangsheng, which makes people feel a little discordant.
Although Lu Xiangsheng did not have a majestic expression, he did not dare to be dissatisfied with him.
This person is definitely Guo Linggong of the Ming Dynasty!
Thinking like this, Dubu didn't dare to slack off, and immediately saluted respectfully, and said to Lu Xiangsheng: "The poor monk was entrusted by Choi Mingji, the leader of the Korean Governor, to send a letter to the Governor!" ”
"Oh?" Lu Xiangsheng listened, was noncommittal, and just responded lightly.
When Dubu looked at him, he was also looking at Dubu. From his opinion, there was nothing suspicious about this monk.
At this time, he saw Dubu pick up the corner of his monk's robe, bite the thread with his teeth, and then tear it hard, and took out a very thin piece of silk from the sandwich of his clothes. Then, he presented it to Lu Xiangsheng with both hands.
As soon as he took it out, Lu Xiangsheng's nose twitched slightly, and he smelled something. Then, after taking the silk from the guard, as he expected, it was a blood letter.
"Your Excellency the Governor, this blood letter was written by the poor monk looking at Lord Lingzheng himself." Dubu, who was waiting, saw that Lu Xiangsheng seemed to have finished reading, so he said, "After the Lord Lingzheng finished writing, he was full of sorrow, and asked the poor monk to convey that the Korean country is weak and weak, and without the support of the Great Ming, it is really difficult to fight against the murderous Jianjiao. For the sake of North Korea's country, the society is constantly extinct, so he can only compromise, day and night, hoping that the heavenly soldiers of the kingdom can defeat Jianyu as soon as possible and save the Korean people from fire and water. ”
Then, he elaborated on the various intentions of the DPRK after the chaos of Bingzi.
For these, to be honest, Lu Xiangsheng does not approve. You really have to have this integrity. Just like the previous invasion of the Japanese invaders, the Korean monarchs and ministers came to the Ming Dynasty by sea, could it be that the Ming Dynasty treated them badly? Or, what can Jianyu do to get them? Still don't have the courage!
However, Cui Mingji's blood letter also somewhat alleviated Lu Xiangsheng's bad feelings towards North Korea. He raised the blood book in his hand and asked, "What's the matter with that Jin Shangxian, why did you ask this official to send troops to save him?" ”
So, Dubu introduced Kim Sang-heon and his affairs again. After all, the blood book has limited space, and if you really want to write it in detail, it is estimated that Cui Mingji will die.
When Lu Xiangsheng heard the deeds of this Korean Wen Tianxiang, he was also slightly moved, and finally nodded and said: "In this way, this person still has integrity, and it is worth sending someone to save him!" ”
After saying this, he began to ask for details: "But if this official sends troops, it will be difficult. ”
Seeing Dubu's somewhat disappointed look, he knew that he thought he was using an excuse not to send troops, so he further explained: "I don't know how the strength of the army is, this is a difficult point; Second, Jianyu has escorted him back to Liaodong, but if the official sends troops here, I am afraid that he will not be able to catch up in time! Although I have a heart, I am powerless! ”
Hearing that Lu Xiangsheng was really thinking about it and put forward specific difficulties, Dubu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Your Excellency Governor, rest assured, the strength of the Jianyu Department is only a thousand Tartar soldiers, which are commanded by the Zhengbai Banner Gushan Ezhen Ying Ordai; In addition, there were 4,000 Korean soldiers, commanded by Marshal Kim Zidian, who were also ordered to escort the grain and go to Shengjing together. Along the way, they traveled slowly, and as long as the Governor's side sent troops in time, they could not be intercepted. ”
Speaking of this, he paused for a moment, and then immediately added: "When the Ming army arrives in Korea, you can secretly contact the peace envoy General Lin Qingye Lin, who is the ally of the Lord of the Consulate, and he is also interested in the Ming Dynasty, and he will provide the news of the army that has been captured in the north." ”
He said these details, but Lu Xiangsheng was only very concerned about one of the points, and the leader was Zhengbai Banner Gushan Erzhen Yingerdai. Isn't that Turg a solid mountain with a white flag? Could it be that the emperor had expected this day a long time ago, and deliberately hinted that he wanted to arrest this person and return to Beijing?
Before, Lu Xiangsheng had been worried that there was no suitable candidate to start. Unexpectedly, now such a suitable one has been sent? And military information or something, the North Koreans will provide, and it will be the first battle of the Dongjiang Army's real land war, and all these situations add up, this battle, no matter from which point of view, is worth fighting a dozen?
However, Lu Xiangsheng did not eavesdrop on the seeds after all, and he had no way of knowing whether this Dubu or the North Korean leader Choi Myung-gil was planning to trap themselves, or was it really as stated in the blood book?
However, he is not a fledgling newborn calf, but a battle-tested commander with a wealth of experience.
The opportunity must not be lost, and since there is an opportunity, it is necessary to seize it.
So, he said to Dubu: "When Bingzi was in chaos, my Ming Emperor also sent troops to rescue. It's just that before the reinforcements arrived, the Korean lord had already surrendered Jianyu. Now that the Korean monarch and ministers have repented, the official believes that the emperor will not abandon the DPRK, so the official decided to send troops to rescue! ”
Hearing this, Dubu couldn't help but be very excited. The heart that had been carrying it all the time was finally relieved.
But at the same time, he also noticed that this governor, whom even the pirate king Zheng Zhilong admired very much, was also extremely respectful when he mentioned the Ming Emperor.
This kind of respect, which can be distinguished by a single step, is definitely not respect for the emperor's identity, but respect for the emperor himself.
This realization made him very surprised, and he couldn't help but think in his heart, in the past, it seemed that the Ming Emperor's reputation was not very good? Could it be that he is working hard, and now he is a generation of Ming Jun?
While thinking so, he hurriedly thanked Lu Xiangsheng.
In this regard, Lu Xiangsheng did not care, but was very simply, and immediately passed down a military order to gather the Dongjiang army that was resting on the islands, which was originally 2,000 cavalry and 3,000 infantry; However, there were many horses that could not be put into battle immediately, so only about 1,000 cavalry and 3,000 infantry troops immediately set out for Korea by boat.
At this time, the benefits of being the captain of the transport brigade for the North Koreans came out again. Ships transporting troops, enough!
Standing on the flagship deck, right next to Lu Xiangsheng, he was shocked again when he looked at the mighty Ming army sailors, and what he saw when he saw the Ming army on the ship before.
At the beginning, he was actually a little worried, after all, there were 1,000 men and horses in Jianyu, and in his opinion, at least 3,000 Ming troops would be needed to deal with it. However, at this moment, he did not see it that way. The elite of this Ming army, especially the spirit, is something he has never seen before, and he feels more elite than the Tartar army that became a blessing and a prestige after arriving in Korea.
What's more important is that the Ming army is obviously dominated by sailors, and there are so many war horses, which is too extravagant, right?
From here, he could see at once that the resurgent Dongjiang Army was by no means comparable to the previous Dongjiang Army.
Thinking like this, he couldn't help but look forward to it even more, after the Lord Lingzheng knew the situation on the Ming Army's side, he didn't know what his expression would be?
He didn't know that Lu Xiangsheng had already sent a clipper to North Korea before these troops set out.
The people on the fast boat were all his personal guards, whom he had selected from among the Korean sailors who surrendered in the Battle of Arthur. The reason why he did this was because he thought that the Dongjiang Army was fighting here after all, and he might be going to North Korea in the future, and maybe it would come in handy, but he didn't expect it to come in handy so soon!
In this way, a war involving the Ming Dynasty, the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and the Koreans quietly began, without anyone expecting it.
