Chapter 239: Leather Crown

Zhu Youzhen, the great son of tomorrow, sat in the Qianqing Palace and looked at Lu Xiangsheng's recital with a look of surprise. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Li Zhi, under the command of Lu Xiangsheng, led 10,000 soldiers and horses to attack Hanjiazhuang in Gu'an, and killed 2,441 Qing troops and captured 342 Tartar wounded.

This is a great victory! Except for the great victory of Fanjiazhuang the year before last, there has not been another battle in these years that has been able to kill so many Tartars. Li Zhi's soldiers and horses are not only powerful at killing thieves, but also ruthless at killing Tartars, they are really strong soldiers in the world. Li Zhi and Lu Xiangsheng also seem to cooperate very well.

"What a victory! The Qing army has broken through six county towns on the outskirts of Beijing, and now I have finally waited for a great victory! In terms of fighting a tough battle, it still depends on Li Zhi! Zhu Youzhen walked back and forth in front of the imperial case excitedly, and asked, "Wang Chengen, how do you say I should reward Li Zhi and Lu Xiangsheng?" ”

Wang Chengen smiled and said: "Emperor, why don't you give Li Zhi a general soldier?" ”

Zhu Youzhen shook his head and said, "The Tatars are still raging in Gyeonggi, and there is still a fierce battle behind. At this time, he will be promoted to the chief soldier, and what should I do if I have no official reward for making new contributions later? ”

Zhu Youzhen sat back to the imperial case, pondered for a moment, and said: "Reward Lu Xiangsheng with a black gauze hat, a woven gold chest and a unicorn round neck, and a thousand taels of gold inside." Reward Li Zhi with a sword, a pair of leather crown clothes, a green guard, a green sticker, and five hundred taels of gold. ”

After a pause, Zhu Youzhen said again: "Yang Guozhu and Hu Dawei also won, and they will each be rewarded with fifty taels of gold!" ”

Wang Chengen said with a smile: "Emperor, Lu and Li have received so many rewards, they must be very happy!" ”

Zhu Youzhen nodded proudly, and said, "If I have a few more Li Zhi in the Ming Dynasty, why can't I destroy the Dongnu and the thieves?" ”

Wang Chengen looked at the chapter and said: "Lu Xiangsheng said that he had run out of food in his army for a time, and said that Yang Ge Lao did not give him food, so he had to attack Hanjiazhuang, where the Qing army was storing grain, and rob the Qing army of grain and grass. ”

Zhu Youzhen stroked his beard and said: "Lu Xiangsheng and Yang Sichang seem to have some festivals, and the rights and wrongs of them will be asked clearly until Yang Gebu comes!" ”

Zhu Youzhen was puzzled there, and saw Yang Sichang trotting all the way into the Qianqing Palace. When Yang Sichang entered the Qianqing Palace, he respectfully prostrated on the ground and sang loudly: "Yang Sichang has seen the saint!" ”

Zhu Youzhen said with a smile: "Yang Qing is exempt! Throne! ”

Yang Sichang sat respectfully on the chair and heard Zhu Youzhen ask, "Does Aiqing know about Hanjiazhuang's victory?" ”

Yang Sichang is now the most trusted by the Son of Heaven, and his power is great, even the first assistant of the cabinet has to avoid his limelight, who dares not to cooperate with him? Yang Sichang's hometown has even called Yang Sichang Yang Xiang. As soon as Lu Xiangsheng's recital arrived in the cabinet in the morning, Yang Sichang took it and watched it, and of course he knew about Li Zhi's victory. But of course, he couldn't say that he had peeked at it at this time, but he was surprised and said: "I don't know, which army and horses made a great victory?" ”

Zhu Youzhen said with a smile: "It was the great victory of Lu Xiangsheng and Li Zhi, who captured and beheaded three thousand Dongnu!" ”

Yang Sichang knelt on the ground and sang loudly: "Holy Lord, this is the Holy Heavenly Authority's influence that has led to this great victory." ”

Zhu Youzhen laughed and said, "Aiqing, please get up!" This great victory also has the credit of Yang Qing's strategizing in the Ministry of War. ”

Yang Sichang sat back in his chair and heard the Son of Heaven ask again: "Lu Shangshu said that Yang Qing did not supply him with grain and grass, why is this?" ”

When Yang Sichang heard this, he knelt on the ground with a puff and said, "Holy Mingjian, Yang Sichang is dedicated to the safety of the society, how can he do anything to cut off Lu Shangshu's grain and grass?" It's really that the Dongnu Ranger was too rampant a few days ago, and the grain and grass couldn't be sent! This morning, the road is calm, and the grain and grass for Lu Shangshu have been sent out! ”

After Yang Sichang read Lu Xiangsheng's recital, he knew that Lu Xiangsheng was no longer short of food, and the trick of cutting off food was useless, so he immediately sent out grain and grass to discuss things in peace. Zhu Youzhen didn't know that Yang Sichang knew the news of Hanjiazhuang's victory earlier than himself, and thought that the grain and grass sent out in the morning was enough to prove Yang Sichang's public heart.

Zhu Youzhen already believed in Yang Sichang's words very much, and said: "Yang Qing, please get up!" Lu Shangshu misunderstood Yang Qing, and I will explain the misunderstanding to Yang Qing. It's just that now that Hanjiazhuang has won a big victory, Dongnu is still plundering in all directions, what is Yang Qing's good plan? ”

Yang Sichang got up and said: "Now that the Dongnu soldiers are divided into eight ways to plunder the place, if our army gathers troops all the way, there is a worry about losing one or the other. Chen Xinjia, the governor of Xuanda, had already led his army into the guard, and the minister suggested that Lu Xiangsheng give half of his troops to Chen Xinjia, so that Chen Xinjia would also have troops to pursue Dongnu. ”

Zhu Youzhen was stunned, stroked his beard and said: "The art of war is cloudy, if you divide it, you will be weak, and if you join it, you will be strong..."

Yang Sichang said: "However, Lu Shangshu has Yang Guozhu under his command, the tiger is mighty, and the fierce generals are gathered, so if you divide some more, you can also control the enemy!" ”

"Which soldiers and horses will be given to Chen Xinjia?"

Yang Sichang said: "Divide the generals and guerrillas of Li Zhi and Xuanda Second Town in Tianjin, and give 16,000 soldiers and horses to Chen Xinjia. ”

Zhu Youzhen hesitated and said: "Li Zhi can kill slaves under Lu Shangshu, I don't know if he can cooperate with Chen Xinjia?" ”

"They are all loyal ministers who serve the country, and they will be able to cooperate seamlessly!"

Zhu Youzhen hesitated for a long time, but finally believed Yang Sichang's words, nodded and said, "Okay, then according to Yang Qing's praise, divide 16,000 troops to Chen Xinjia." ”

On October 18, the commendation for Hanjiazhuang's victory was sent to Lu Xiangsheng's army, and Lu Xiangsheng led Yang Guozhu, Hu Dawei and Li Zhi to kneel on the ground and respectfully accept the order.

After reading the decree to Lu Xiangsheng, Lu Xiangsheng stood up respectfully and accepted the decree and reward. When he received the decree, he skillfully stuffed a piece of silver of fifty taels to the eunuch who delivered the decree, and the eunuch smiled happily.

Li Zhi saw Lu Xiangsheng's small movements, and secretly said that although Lu Xiangsheng is very loyal, he is also a person who understands human feelings, I don't know why he is so stiff with Yang Sichang this time?

Next, Yang Guozhu and Hu Dawei each received the order and got fifty taels of gold. Although the internal money is small, it is also an honor, indicating that the Son of Heaven knows the merits of the two. The two of them smiled happily, and also stuffed some silver for the eunuch.

In the end, the eunuch read the reward for Li Zhi. The reward given to Li Zhi by the Son of Heaven was the most complete, which made the other generals look very blushing. But they can only be red-eyed, who let themselves not have the ability to lead troops to kill the Tartars? When they arrived on the battlefield, none of their ten total soldiers could match one Li Zhi's soldiers and horses.

Wang Pu, the chief soldier of Datong, did not receive the reward, and coveted Li Zhi's reward of the Son of Heaven very much. He circled around Li Zhi, looking up and down at the dress and clothes that the Son of Heaven had given Li Zhi, and wanted to take a closer look. But he was afraid that Li Zhi would be angry, so he didn't dare to open it completely, so he only walked around on those clothes.

Li Zhi smiled, handed him the leather crown suit, and said, "Show you clearly!" ”

Only then did Wang Pu open the crown dress, compared it to his body, and said with a smile: "It's such a beautiful crown dress, does it look good on me?" It's a pity that I didn't bring a well-dressed mirror, so I can't see it clearly. (To be continued.) )
