Chapter 45 King Chuang and Lie Girl Lu Xiangyun

The radio station in Yaogang is becoming more and more popular, and those who have a radio at home often have a lot of customers. War is the subject of primary concern at all times.

The news that the kiln gang people suddenly hit Ningxia Mansion has taken everyone by surprise, they didn't expect that the kiln gang people would suddenly shoot so far away, and they did it cleanly. Today, the radio station in Yaogang suddenly inserted another important news, which shocked everyone. The Yaogang people actually attacked the Mongols, and at once wiped out nearly 20,000 Mongol cavalry in Ordos, captured more than 10,000 people alive, and captured their prince alive, which is unbelievable. How could the Mongols, whom the Han people feared the most, be vulnerable in front of the Yaogang people? Moreover, this operation started at the same time as the Yaogang people attacked Shaanxi, how many people did the Yaogang people have, and they could deal with two strong enemies at the same time?

The people's joy for the victory of the kiln gang people was not calm, and then they were plucked by the news report of the kiln. Reporters from Yaogang sent back reports about the slaves from the battlefield in Ordos. After describing the current state of the slaves in detail, the reporter said even more sensationally, "They may have been a good peasant, a scholar, or an ordinary person like everyone around us, but after they were captured by the Mongols, they were raised as cattle and tortured for a long time, so that they were like the living dead, without thoughts, without pain and joy." When we gave them food and they devoured it, some of them burst into tears, so that we could still see that they were just like us. ”

This reporter's report is like throwing a stone into the calm water of a lake, stirring up layers of waves. Throughout the Ming Dynasty, where this information can be obtained, people are talking about it. Everyone took a supportive attitude towards the Yaogang people sending troops to Ordos.

Emperor Chongzhen, in the Forbidden City, heard the news of the victory of the Yaogang people in Ordos, and shouted "Bring wine!" Bring the wine! Emperor Chongzhen, who has never drunk much, couldn't help but celebrate.

But the next report made Emperor Chongzhen's wine unbearable. Emperor Chongzhen knew that every time a Mongol entered the customs and looted, he would report how many people were killed and how many people were robbed, but at that time those people were all a number, and now those numbers have become specific people. The country is not strong and the people suffer, and the emperor is responsible for the sins suffered by these people.

Also listening to this radio was Li Zicheng.

After Li Zicheng and his people fled into the Shangyu Ancient Road in panic, within two days, the army began to run out of food. The kiln gang people are indeed ruthless, they really broke half of the road in many places on the ancient road, and only the horses could barely pass. Most of the soldiers, when they fled into the Shangyu Ancient Road, did not prepare food, and they kept killing horses and hungry on the way. Fortunately, when there were still two days to go out to the ancient road, I met a caravan carrying grain to Shaanxi. When they heard that there was a team of King Chuang in front of them, and there was no food, the owner said that he would give food to King Chuang.

At this time, King Chuang was very moved, and hurriedly invited the owner to come over.

When the owner came, he quickly knelt down. After King Chuang asked him to calm down, he asked, "Are you merchants from Xi'an?" ”

"Back to the emperor, the grass people are businessmen in Xi'an. The grass people's shop is in the city of Xi'an. The proprietor hastened to reply.

"Alas! You don't have to go back, it's already occupied by the Kiln Gang people. King Chuang said.

"No! Your Majesty, my family business is in Xi'an! The owner said.

"If you go back now, not only will the shop be difficult to protect, but I don't know if your life can be saved." King Chuang said, "Besides, you can't get by, you can go with me, when you get to Xiangyang, I will give you your grain at double the price, and you will open another shop in Xiangyang." No one will dare to turn against you there! "Obviously, King Chuang wants to repay the owner.

The proprietor is of course grateful.

How did King Chuang know that these people were those people that Li Zhi originally sent to Xi'an, and waiting for King Chuang here was designed. In terms of intelligence capabilities, King Chuang is too far behind.

When he arrived in Xiangyang, King Chuang heard about the live broadcast carried out by the Yaogang people in Shangzhou, and the radio reported the news that their army was robbing grain and raping women in Shangzhou. When King Chuang heard the news, he collapsed in his chair and didn't speak for a long time. Prime Minister Niu Venus was beside him, and cold sweat flowed down his back. He thought that in a difficult time, he would give King Chuang a good idea, but he didn't expect it to be like this, so that the kiln people seized the opportunity and gave them a fatal blow. Now everyone in the world knows that King Chuang's team is burning and looting everywhere.

After King Chuang breathed a sigh of relief, he glanced at Niu Jinxing and didn't say a word, but he said in his heart: "You! Less than enough, more than bad! ”

Of course, Niu Jinxing also read King Chuang's resentment from Li Zicheng's eyes. Since then, he and Song Xiance have no longer been trusted by King Chuang as before.

The day before yesterday, I heard the news that the Yaogang people had defeated Ningxia Mansion, which really surprised King Chuang, but fortunately, he had already escaped. However, in terms of tactics, the kiln people are simply too clever. Whether it is King Chuang himself, Prime Minister Niu Jinxing and military advisor Song Xiance, no one would have thought that the Yaogang people would kill all the way from there. It seems that the preparation of the kiln gang people is not a day's work. It turned out that the kiln gang people had not done anything, and they were making preparations. When they make a move, it's all a nirvana. He knew that if the people of Yaogang didn't let him go, he would definitely not be able to go, but why did the people of Yaogang let him go again? It was because Zhang Zhimu listened to Li Yan's plea, and Li Zicheng would never believe this reason. It turned out that he suspected others of fornicating with the kiln people, but now the biggest fornicator is the king himself.

But today, King Chuang himself felt strange, after he heard the important news broadcast in Yaogang, he was also happy that the people of Yaogang defeated the Mongols. I am even more saddened by what happened to those slaves.

It happened that Liu Zongmin and Li Guo came in, and Li Zicheng told the two of them the news of the victory of the Yaogang people.

Liu Zongmin, who has always been known for his heroism, also said with admiration: "Master! Isn't it a little crazy to say that they are fighting with the Mongols at the same time as the Yaogang people are at war with us? We have learned those Mongols, and it took a lot of effort to escape. It's just that they don't dare to be too presumptuous with us, how many troops do they have? ”

"It doesn't take too much, they have 100,000 people, and they can top us with a million people, or even more. Not only are the soldiers superior to ours, but their tactics and command are far beyond our reach. Li Zicheng said, "Their armies are thousands of miles apart, and they work together seamlessly." We will never be able to do that. ”

"Master! Fight hard, we really can't beat the kiln people. "Only Liu Zongmin dares to tell the truth in front of King Chuang.

"Yes! If it weren't for the Yaogang people who deliberately let us go this time, none of us would have been able to leave. If they destroy half of the road, they will cut it all. But they didn't, and I couldn't figure out why they were because I couldn't figure it out. Li Zicheng leaned back in his chair and said.

"Master, there is a word, I don't know if to say it?" Liu Zongmin lowered his head and said.

"Huh! I didn't expect Zong Min to talk to me and vomit! Li Zicheng said with a smile.

"That's the case, since we can't fight hard, we might as well cooperate with them. They can let us go, but they don't want to be our enemy. Liu Zongmin looked up at Li Zicheng and said.

"Zong Min, this is the best advice I've ever heard from you." Li Zicheng said, "This is because you are more honest than those strategists!" ”

Li Zicheng paused, and then said: "Originally, when I was in Shaanxi, I had already arranged for someone to deliver a letter to the Yaogang people, but later I heard that the Yaogang people killed the officials and soldiers. I thought they would fall out with the court. So I stopped, it seems that it was a big mistake! ”

Li Guo, who had never spoken, said: "I think that the Yaogang people are fighting Shaanxi and Ordos at the same time to tell the world that no one can stop them." I think that since they let us out of the customs, they have to manage the customs with their hearts, and they will not come out of the customs for a while. If they come out, we won't be able to stop them. ”

"Okay! I'll be able to use my brain later! Li Zicheng was very happy, "We can't take care of the affairs of Guanzhong, but we have to take care of the affairs of the Central Plains and Jiangbei." Let's recover a little bit of vitality, and then beat Zhang Xianzhong's old man across the south of the Yangtze River, don't let them bother us here. After speaking, Li Zicheng suddenly felt a little, is this what the kiln people want us to do?

Ning De and Meng Si'er did not care about the counteroffensive of the Dashun army on the other side, they wanted to clean up Ningxia Mansion as soon as possible, and then continue to march. Meng Si'er handed over the shop he bought to the people sent by Lu Chengxiang, and also explained the business here to them. Ningde organized everyone to clean up the dead bodies of the Dashun army and clean up the bloodstains in the city. Then a notice was issued.

The people, who were frightened by the sound of gunfire and shouts of killing, were worried that they would suffer another catastrophe, but until dawn, after the victory of the Dashun army that entered the city, none of them disturbed the people, and immediately cleaned up the dead bodies and blood stains in the city. The bold people slowly came out to see the excitement, and the soldiers of the Dashun Army nodded and greeted them when they saw them, so that the people were not afraid, and they came out to help clean up the garbage in the city.

Because there were a lot of disturbing things in the Dashun army a while ago, the people hated them very much, so it was much easier for the officials from Yaogang to take over here, and the relationship between the government and the people and the military and the people was very good, especially the military doctors in Yaogang also helped those poor people to see a doctor, and won the love of the people.

The castle on the other side of the river really didn't have to worry about Ningde.

Since this is a border pass, the Dashun army also has arrangements for rapid response here. A few soldiers of the Dashun army who escaped from the castle, after escaping overnight, got a few horses, and fled to Lingzhou (Lingwu City) as soon as possible. During the Ming Dynasty, a thousand households were set up in Lingzhou, and after Li Zicheng occupied here, he arranged for 2,000 people to be garrisoned, led by a captain, as a backup for the defenders of the Great Wall in front.

The commander stationed in Lingzhou never imagined that the Yaogang people would come from here. However, the lieutenant also understood that if he did not take advantage of the opponent's unstable foothold to quickly recapture the castle, the entire defense line of the Great Wall, no matter how many men and horses, would be useless. He sent people to report to General Guo Yi in Guyuan, and at the same time sent people to report the situation to the Ningxia Zhongwei and Ningxia Rear Guards, and immediately organized his own 2,000 men and horses, gathered 3,000 men and horses nearby, and rushed towards the lost castle.

The fact that the lieutenant hastily organized three or four thousand men and horses and came to the castle showed that the lieutenant was very responsible. But those of them who have never been to Shanxi are soldiers, and they really don't know the Yaogang people. This captain, when he brought the soldiers and horses, raised a burst of dust on the arid land, which can be regarded as obscuring the sky, and the kiln gang army in the city really can't see how many Dashun troops have come.

These brave Dashun soldiers came prepared, they set up cannons of various calibers, and bombarded the castle, and after the cannons were fired, the soldiers rushed over with ladders.

Zhao Jinli in the city never let everyone fight back, he saw the soldiers of the Dashun army rushing into the castle and ordered his hands to prepare. Waiting for the soldiers of the Dashun Army, they got closer and ordered everyone to throw their hands out.

Now the hand of the kiln gang is much smaller in volume and weight than before, but it is much more powerful. Those prefabricated fragments, with the explosion of "boom", sprinkled on the soldiers of the Dashun army, and suddenly the ghosts of the Dashun army cried wolf. When the soldiers of the Dashun Army threw down the ladder and ran back, the mortars in the city opened fire. After bombarding the infantry, the mortar gunners smashed the shells into the artillery positions of the Dashun army. These artillery of the Dashun Army did not know the power of the Yaogang artillery. Because in order to stabilize the morale of the army, Li Zicheng did not tell them about the losses they had suffered, so today, they placed the artillery position in front of the Yaogang artillery. At this point, the kiln artillery themselves are a little confused, isn't this looking for their own death?

Looking at the defeated Dashun army, the captain who led the troops trembled, he knew that if he didn't capture this castle today, he wouldn't be able to live, who would let himself be a hero? There was no way, he gritted his teeth and organized another attack. However, in this attack, the kiln gang people changed their tactics, and as soon as they approached the castle, the light and heavy machine guns on the castle opened fire together. The Yaogang machine gunner condescended and beat the rushing Dashun soldiers to the road of charging again. No matter how brave the soldier was, there were times when he couldn't stand it, and one soldier was so frightened by the terrifying machine gun that he stopped, and immediately many soldiers retreated, and the lieutenant behind slashed down two retreating soldiers with his sword, and the other retreating soldiers ran away from a distance. All of a sudden, the soldiers of the Dashun army began to run away. There was no way, and the lieutenant was forced to retreat. In this siege they lost almost two thousand soldiers.

They had just retreated to Lingzhou, and the two mighty generals of Ningxia Zhongwei and Ningxia Rear Guard arrived.

After listening to the defeat of the commander, the two mighty generals understood that they would have no chance of winning if they went back to attack like this. The Yaogang people are not only as powerful as the legend says, but this time the tactics are even more peculiar, even the emperor has run away, and they can't defend these guards at all, let alone go back to recapture the lost castle. A few of them discussed it, and it was better to wait for General Guo Yi to arrive and see what he had to say! Let's not take action for the time being, because the responsibility for defeat is ours, and the victory? Hum! It is impossible to win.

Li Kui and they rested on the desert for the night, and the next day, they wanted to rush back along the same road. Due to the strong wind drowning the footprints when they came, although they could contact them by telegraph at this time, Ningde could not help them. At this time, they can only rely on Li Kui and themselves. Based on experience, Li Kui and his team decided to keep walking to the west, because that direction was the Yellow River, but there was no road along the way, and it was not until the evening of two days later that they arrived at the edge of the Yellow River. When they rushed to the Great Wall along the Yellow River, Li Kui hurriedly took a boat to Ningxia Mansion and saw Ning De and Meng Si'er reporting the situation.

"What's the heroine's name, where is she from? How old is it? Who else is in the house? After listening to Li Kui's report, Ning De asked a few questions in a row.

Li Kui said: "The female soldier's name is Lu Xiangyun, she is twenty-three years old, from Henan, and it is said that she has a mother and sister at home. Because I couldn't eat, I followed the red lady. ”

Ning De got up and turned around the ground twice, and asked someone to draft a telegram, immediately reporting Li Kui's situation and Lu Xiangyun's deeds to the family.

At this time, Zhang Zhimu and Yan Boju were still in the command center, and they had already received the news that Li Kui had rescued the female soldiers, and now they were walking back in the desert. Yan Xing told Zhang Zhimu, don't worry about Li Kui and them, they can't have anything to do there, the main force of that cavalry regiment is from Yulin, and they are all very experienced.

Now that Li Kui and the others are back, of course they are happy, but the report about Lu Xiangyun later makes Zhang Zhimu very heavy. Zhang Zhimu immediately made a phone call to the red lady and told him about Lu Xiangyun. The red lady also stopped on the other end of the phone for a while and didn't make a sound, and Zhang Zhimu didn't know how to comfort her. Finally, the red lady said: "Lu Xiangyun is good, I still have some impressions of her, he still has his mother and sister in Henan, the company wants to promote her, don't say the detailed address of her home, and then take care of her relatives when we call her!" ”

Zhang Zhimu put down the phone and immediately asked Editor-in-Chief Fan to come to the command center. Editor-in-chief Fan saw the report on Lu Xiangyun and said: "I will go back immediately and use the radio to promote this heroine, who sacrificed his life to save his comrades." ”

Zhang Zhimu blurted out "The greatness of life, the light of death!" ”

"Great! Tomorrow's newspaper will use this headline, and I'll go to the radio right away. Let's go on the radio first. Editor-in-chief Fan finished speaking and left.

Yan Boju said: "A woman is really amazing! ”

Zhang Zhimu said: "Tomorrow, I will ask Lu Qi to find a few good stonemasons to carve a stone statue of Lu Xiangyun and put it in the martyr's cemetery, so that everyone can always pay tribute to her." ”

After a while, the normal broadcast of the kiln was interrupted again, and important news was inserted again. But no one expected that this broadcast was about Lu Xiangyun's deeds of saving his comrades with his own life. The kiln gang head office called on everyone to learn from Lv Xiangyun and introduced the life of Lv Xiangyun.

A little female soldier actually caused a sensation in the entire Ming Dynasty with her life, which is also news in itself. This incident caused the greatest repercussions in the army of Yaogang, because Lu Xiangyun was their comrade-in-arms, an ordinary soldier made a sacrifice, and he was also treated with ceremonious courtesy, which was a great comfort to every soldier who was ready to go to the battlefield desperately. They knew that the kiln gang valued every soldier, not only to give them the best treatment materially, but also to them spiritually. Because Lu Xiangyun is the representative of them.

What everyone didn't expect was that Emperor Chongzhen gave Lu Xiangyun the title of "martyr". This caused a great repercussion in the entire Ming Dynasty.
