Chapter 188: Lu Xiangsheng

The peasant army attacked Fengyang in Nanzhili at Li Zicheng, and later had friction with Zhang Xianzhong, which led to the dissolution of the alliance. The peasant army, which was the fastest updated, also began to go its separate ways. Ma Huihui, Guo Tianxing, Mantianxing and others arrived in Hubei, and then ransacked the six counties of Yunyang, entered Sichuan in the west, and attacked Kuizhou, an important town in eastern Sichuan.

Its momentum is like the sky, so that it is difficult for the imperial court not to notice them, Lu Xiangsheng has just taken office as the governor of the five provinces, responsible for encircling and suppressing the rogue. He desperately needed a victory to restore the decadence of the imperial army.

The gun shot the first bird, Ma Huihui and others became the first bird, Lu Xiangsheng immediately transferred troops to Hubei, and rushed to Yunyang day and night.

At this time, Ma Huihui and the others just returned to Huguang and collided with the imperial army led by Lu Xiangsheng, and the battle could begin!

Lu Xiangsheng is because of the brave general, he is different from those civilian officials who lead troops, others lead troops to fight and hide in the rear to command. But Lu Xiangsheng is the complete opposite of these people, he takes the lead every time he sends troops, and he is never greedy for life or afraid of death.

At that time, there were more than 400,000 rebels gathered near Yunyang, and Lu Xiangsheng's situation was very difficult.

Lu Xiangsheng's bravery infected his subordinates, the imperial court soldiers at the end of the Ming Dynasty were no longer soldiers, it was good to be a deserter in fear of war, and what was even more powerful was to slaughter civilians to risk merit, and even digging up newly buried corpses as rogues for slashing and killing also happened.

On the heroic **** Xiangsheng of the generals of the Ming army at that time, it was his heroic performance that infected the soldiers and horses under his command, which was in the face of the gathering of more than 400,000 peasant troops at that time.

With a very small number of imperial soldiers and horses, after several difficult encirclements and suppressions, he was able to reverse the disadvantages of the imperial army within half a year and suppress the peasant army all the way.

Therefore, Lu Xiangsheng was nicknamed in the peasant army, and was called 'King Lu Yan'. After that, no rebel army dared to confront him head-on, and when they met him, they could flee and never fall in love with the battle.

Hubei's great victories were frequently reported to the capital, so that Emperor Chongzhen, who had been depressed for a long time, finally had a smile and peace of mind!

However, Chongzhen was not happy for long, and the situation in Henan suddenly changed. Originally, the peasant army was scattered, and the news of Lu Xiangsheng's successive victories in Hubei spread. The peasant army in Henan began to calm down and did not dare to be too active.

It was at this time that Mao Wenlong had already begun to send troops to clean up all the imperial army and peasant army under his rule. In less than ten days, Mao Wenlong used 70,000 soldiers and horses to expel all other forces in Xuzhou.

Chen Jisheng was the commander of the troops this time, and ten days after sending the troops, he returned to Ye County with a smile on his face to report the results to Mao Wenlong.

In the meeting hall of Mao's mansion, Mao Wenlong and Hong Chengchou met with Chen Jisheng, who had just rushed back. This guy smiled toothlessly, and it was true that he wanted to come to this battle and gain a lot.

"How? Didn't encounter a hard bone to gnaw, did you? Mao Wenlong asked softly with a smile.

Chen Jisheng laughed, patted his chest, and said proudly: "The general army, whether it is the imperial army or the rogue army, is not our opponent at all. They are so weak that they often run away without a fight when we charge. ”

When Mao Wenlong saw Chen Jisheng, who had already begun to flutter, he immediately frowned and shouted coldly: "You kid is not proud, the main task this time is for you to lead the troops to train." If you dare to delay the training of the troops, a military stick will be indispensable to you. ”

Seeing that Mao Wenlong was serious and not joking, Chen Jisheng immediately put away the smug look on his face. became steady: "Don't dare, don't dare, the subordinates are leading the troops completely according to the requirements of the general army, and they don't dare to overstep the slightest." If the general soldier doesn't believe it, he can ask his brothers in the army, and they can all testify for his subordinates. ”

"Forgive me, don't dare to come nonsense!"

Mao Wenlong glared at Chen Jisheng viciously again, and then continued: "Now Xuzhou is completely in our hands, leaving 20,000 veterans to guard Xuzhou. The remaining recruits continued to advance steadily, aiming to take Luoyang City directly. Anyone who dares to come to the way, don't be polite, give Lao Tzu a hard beating. ”

"Subordinates obey!" Chen Jisheng's face turned into a flower with a smile.

Whether it is the imperial army or the Liukou Ye, they are all opponents at the training level. He enjoys fighting these days, and he has begun to get a little craving. Now listening to Mao Wenlong's order, it is obvious that he will continue to fight, and he naturally can't ask for it.

After receiving the order, Chen Jishengxuan even if he resigned and retired, he didn't even go back to his home that day, and rode a war horse with a few personal guards and went back to Xuzhou overnight to lead the troops.

Chongzhen was puzzled when he learned that Mao Wenlong, who had always been immobile, also became active. I really wanted to transfer Lu Xiangsheng to Henan to suppress it immediately, but I was afraid that as soon as Lu Xiangsheng left Hubei, the rogues there would reviralize.

In desperation, he had to order the defenders of Henan to pay attention to the movements of Mao Wenlong's army, as long as Mao Wenlong's army did not take the initiative to provoke, they didn't have to care. Chongzhen's meaning is obvious, he wants Mao Wenlong to fight with those rogue troops, and it is best for both sides to lose both.

In this way, the imperial court can reap the benefits of the fisherman, and Chongzhen's little trick is naturally impossible to hide from Mao Wenlong. After learning that the imperial army did not go to war, Mao Wenlong ordered Chen Jisheng to temporarily slow down the pace of the attack.

Instead, every time a village or village is captured, the garrison will rest and recuperate, and it is not allowed to be greedy for merit. At the same time, he asked Chen Jisheng to start recruiting troops, as long as they were young and middle-aged, all of them would be recruited into the army and sent to Yexian County for training.

Half a month has passed, and Mao Wenlong has successively received 20,000 young men from Chen Jisheng. These young men did not have any water, the youngest was eighteen years old, and the oldest was not more than forty.

Liu Guangzuo and Cheng Zuo's task now is to be instructors, responsible for the training of these recruits. The two complained about this, but they could only accept their fate, but fortunately, the two also found fun in training these recruits.

Because of their brutal methods, and because they didn't show any affection and caught military discipline too strictly, they were given the title of bull head and horse face by those trained soldiers in the army.

In the recruit barracks, at the beginning of each day's training, you can always hear the screams from the barracks from time to time. And it is often a large area as soon as it sounds, and one after another makes people's hairs stand on end.

Mao Wenlong also heard about this, but he didn't plan to care, as long as Liu Guangzuo and Chengzuo didn't kill people. He is also happy to see it, only a military with strict military discipline can be invincible, and Mao Wenlong has never wavered in this.

And because of Mao Wenlong's sudden attack in Henan Mansion, the situation immediately became more tense again, and the imperial court also began to pay attention to this side. After a period of high-profile work, Mao Wenlong suddenly fell silent, shrank his forces, and then quietly consolidated the new territory he occupied.
