Chapter 426: His Majesty's Dedication (II)

On the huge square in front of the Taihe Gate, in front of the Manchu monarchs and ministers, Lu Zhen not only did not panic at all, but appeared extremely calm, and talked eloquently: "Presumably in the hearts of many adults, although I don't think that my Ming soldiers are weaker than the Tartars in the north, but if there is no strong city as a barrier, it is not too easy to win." And if we really rely on the city to defend ourselves, it will be very difficult for our border army to capture so many Tartar heads. That's why you have doubts about this great victory. I don't know if there is any truth in what the lower official said? ”

When all the officials heard him say this, their faces showed strange expressions, and a few of them were straight, and even nodded their heads in disapproval. Indeed, this is a conclusion they came to based on their understanding of the Ming border army, and it is even regarded as common sense by them, so they will have doubts after the results that are contrary to this.

Even the Son of Heaven's face became solemn at this moment, and he couldn't help but speak: "So Lu Qing, do you have other opinions on this?" ”

"Your Majesty is wise, that's exactly what it is." Lu Zhen nodded happily, hugged his fists and said: "In fact, we don't only have such prejudices, even the Mongolian people also exist, so we can achieve this big victory." In the eyes of the Tartars, our Ming border army has only been defending the city for decades, so when we take the initiative to attack, we will kill them by surprise. ”

"In this battle, did you take the initiative to win?" A third-grade official was a little surprised and asked, he couldn't take care of the etiquette at the court meeting, which shows how much impact this statement had on him. Not only him, but many other people were also full of surprise, their eyes fixed on Lu Jin, waiting for his answer.

And Lu Zhen nodded vigorously: "Yes, this is the premise that we can have such a victory." ”

After a pause, he continued: "Although once we leave the shelter of the city, there is indeed a gap between our Ming border army and the Mongolian cavalry in the field, but the key to the victory or defeat of the two armies is not only in the comparison of the combat strength of the two sides, but also in the use of strategy and the grasp of the enemy's actions, that is, the strategy that the minister just said. ”

"Oh? Then I would like to hear Lu Qing how you arranged this battle. The Son of Heaven was completely intrigued by his words, and subconsciously said this. Although Zhu Qizhen grew up in the palace and has never left the capital until now, he has always thought that one day he can command the Ming army to enter the grassland like his ancestors and completely annihilate the hundred-year-old enemy.

Lu Zhen did not disappoint the other party, and quickly explained his previous series of methods and strategies. From setting up an ambush to kill one of the opponent's squads, to a chain design, first devouring the enemy's thousands of cavalry, and then using mines as the last killing move, completely defeating the Mongolian people......

His eloquence is already very good, and this matter was personally arranged and participated in by him, at this time, it is naturally ups and downs, wonderful. Not only was the Son of Heaven excited by his words, but even the courtiers who had some suspicions about this victory had already believed his words at this time.

Because everyone knows that without everything that really happened, Lu Zhen would not be able to say so specific and detailed. And this realization also made Guo Xizhao's heart sink suddenly, it seems that he jumped out to question it just now is indeed a little reckless. I knew it was so

In this case, it should not be done in person, but only one subordinate official should be allowed to come out. It's not going to end well now!

It's not just that it doesn't end well, Guo Yushi doesn't know that Lu Zhen is still thinking about how to fight back against him. Because our Lu Zhizhou's consistent character is that if people don't offend me, I won't offend anyone, and if someone offends me, I will fight back tenfold. Even if it was above this court meeting, he wouldn't just stop.

After his gaze swept over Guo Xizhao slightly, he continued: "Your Majesty, in fact, there are many factors that determine the victory or defeat of a battle, and the right time, place and people are among them. And this time, the Mongolian army invaded our Ming border, and the time and place are naturally here in our border army. When talking about the sky, our army is to resist the enemy and protect the country, so it is naturally a lot of help; In terms of geographical advantages, the Datong area is the boundary of my Ming Dynasty, and the geography of the mountains and rivers are in our grasp, which is much clearer than those Tartars who have just come to my Ming Dynasty, and it is not difficult to attract them into the Ming Dynasty. But these two things are not the most critical, what really determines this big victory is still in the hearts of the people! It is precisely because of the unity of our Ming border army, regardless of personal gains and losses, that we can defeat the strong enemy and keep our peace and tranquility! ”

When he said this, Lu Zhen did not just stand there as before, but paced slowly and slowly came to the side of the three soldiers.

In fact, this kind of practice is very rude, and no courtier has ever dared to walk around so casually when talking to the Son of Heaven. But because everyone was attracted by what Lu Zhen said, no one questioned his move.

Before and after coming to the three of them, Lu Zhen bent down, took Li Da's right hand, and said, "Your Majesty, please look!" ”

Zhu Qizhen took advantage of the situation when he heard this, and not only him, but other courtiers also made the same reaction. In fact, just now, even if these three soldiers were standing here, everyone didn't really look at them carefully, and it wasn't until this moment that they turned all their attention over.

At this glance, someone let out a soft snort. It was only at this time that they discovered that Li Da's right hand actually only had a palm and no fingers, which was a little weird and terrifying to look at.

The Son of Heaven also changed his face: "What's going on?" ”

"Li Da, this is His Majesty asking you, you can answer it yourself." Lu Zhen said this beside the other party.

Li Da, who was a little stunned, was stumbling again, and then said in a somewhat trembling voice: "Small...... The small one is that when I was digging a trap to deal with the Tartars, I felt that it was not too easy to use weapons, so I used my hands. As a result, my fingers were completely frozen by the ice and snow......"

Lu Zhen nodded, and then came to Liu Wu's side again, pointed to his left foot, which was replaced with a wooden stick, and asked, "Where did your injury come from?" ”

"The villain fought the Tartars in that ambush, and was trampled on by their fast horse and broke his thigh bone, only to have his leg sawed off...... But when the villain fell, he also hacked the tartar who hurt me to death on the spot, so I don't lose either! "Liu Wu's courage is stronger than Li Da, and his speech is more organized.

Before everyone could recover from the shock, Lu Zhen had already come to the last Feng Si, and lifted his clothes as soon as he could, and then there was another exclamation. Because on his chest and back, there are dozens of dense scar wounds. There are both sword wounds and arrows

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

The traces left behind after that, many people have numb scalps, and I don't know how this person survived from the brink of death so many times.

Lu Zhen didn't explain much about the situation on Feng Si's body, but after a while, he put down his shirt, then turned back to his original position, and bowed deeply to the Son of Heaven: "Please also ask Your Majesty to forgive the ministers for not being in a state, so the ministers show this, just to tell everyone what our border army relied on to achieve such a victory." ”

The Son of Heaven finally recovered from the shock at this moment, and nodded again and again: "Lu Qing, you don't have to ask for guilt, you did a good job." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your understanding." Lu Zhen saluted again, and then turned to look at the three soldiers who were also a little excited: "Li Da, Liu Wu, Feng Si, you tell Your Majesty and these adults that you regret such a result." ”

"No regrets!" The three of them responded in unison. After a little hesitation, Liu Wu added: "The villains are cheap, and if they can kill so many Tartars, even if it is worth dying." Besides, we're just getting hurt......"

"Well, I think the other border soldiers who were killed or injured should have the same idea. In our opinion, it is worth killing the enemy to protect the territory and the people, even if it is to die on the battlefield, this is the heart of hundreds of thousands of soldiers of my border army, a sincere loyalty to Your Majesty and the court! Lu Zhen said loudly.

These words once again made the Son of Heaven's face a little ruddy, and if he didn't know his identity, he would have to clap his hands and cheer. And those officials also nodded frequently, and there was a little more appreciation and respect in the eyes of Lu Zhen and these ordinary soldiers.

Feeling that everyone's emotions had been completely mobilized, Lu Zhen pointed the finger at Guo Xizhao: "Your Majesty, my lords, our border army officers and soldiers did everything for the stability of the Ming Dynasty and for the people not to be harassed and hurt by the Tartars, and finally even disregarded their own lives and deaths. But in exchange for this, there is some people's self-righteous contempt, as well as unwarranted slander and suspicion, which is really chilling. I hope Your Majesty will be the master for us! After saying this, he knelt down after taking a deep look at Guo Xizhao.

Li Da and the others were stunned for a moment, and then they also shouted: "Please Your Majesty make the decision for us!" They also fell to their knees.

At this moment, Guo Yushi's face really turned completely pale. What is this? Do you want to use this to force yourself? But you must know that your previous suspicions are indeed justified, and there are many officials in the DPRK and China who think the same way, even if it is not reasonable, as a spokesman, you can use a sentence to excuse the innocence of the speaker.

But apparently, this time the situation is different than usual. Not only did many officials look at him with disdain, but even Zhu Qizhen looked at him a few times and said: "Guo Qing, this matter is indeed what you did wrong, you quickly make amends to these border soldiers, otherwise how can you convince the public?" ”

Guo Xizhao's face instantly turned from red to blue, and then quickly turned white, which was really full of entanglement. Because once you do this, you will inevitably become the laughing stock of the world, and the prestige that you have worked hard to build for decades will be gone.

But if you don't do this, you will be disrespecting the will, and this crime is not small. It was only then that he really regretted his previous decision, this Lu Zhen was really not so easy to deal with......
