Lu Xiangsheng was disdainful in his heart, but he immediately stepped forward to help the old man in front of him and said, "The emperor said that due to the complexity of state affairs, we are late, and I want to ask for forgiveness from all fathers." “

The old man hurriedly said: "No, the emperor has every opportunity, and the ministers understand that it is a blessing for the ministers to be able to rescue us today." “

Lu Xiangsheng was very surprised that he claimed to be a minister, so he asked, "Haven't asked for the name of the godfather yet?" “

The old man proudly arched his hand and said: "The old man Xu Dajin, in the fifteenth year of Wanli, once served as the magistrate of Feng County, Xuzhou. “

Lu Xiangsheng was even more disdainful in his heart, but he still smiled and said: "It turned out to be Xu Laoming's Mansion, disrespectful and disrespectful!" “

Wang Chengmin was extremely unhappy, and said: "Our division commander is Tanhualang in the second year of the Apocalypse, and he used to be a bachelor. “

Xu Dajin was extremely embarrassed, he thought that Lu Xiangsheng was a military general, he was a lifter, and he had also served as a magistrate, of course, he was qualified to rely on the old and sell the old in front of the general, but he didn't want the other party to be a tanhua, so although he was old, he was far from being able to pay homage.

He was about to kneel down and salute again, but Lu Xiangsheng hurriedly supported him and said: "Lao Ming Mansion can't be like this, Xiangsheng doesn't dare to be this big gift." After saying that, he glared at Wang Chengmin fiercely.

Xu Dajin couldn't kneel, so he had to make a move. Lu Xiangsheng bowed and said: "Today, I summoned the old Ming Mansion and the gentry to come here, there is an important matter to discuss, and I also ask the old Ming Mansion to help Xiangsheng." “

Xu Dajin nodded again and again: "Master Lu, but there are orders, don't dare to disobey." “

Lu Xiangsheng nodded and said, "Then Xiangsheng thank Lao Ming Mansion first." “

Lu Xiangsheng walked to the front of the case, glanced at everyone first, and saw that everyone was listening intently, so he said: "I called all the fathers and elders today because I had an inquiry about something. The emperor ordered the first division of our guards to come to southern Liaonan to rescue all the suffering compatriots. But now that the slaves are strong, the newly trained army of our guards is only afraid that they will not be able to hold Haizhou. “

As soon as these words came out, it exploded. One person came out and said, "The imperial army has taken Haizhou, but it can't defend Haizhou, so why take it?" If you come back from Jiannu, where is our life? “

Lu Xiangsheng said: "That's why I want to ask you to move with us to the south of Fuzhou or even to Shanhaiguan, and then return to Liaodong after we completely eliminate Jiannu." “

The man said: "The tombs of my ancestors are here, I was born and raised here, I paid taxes and grain according to the requirements of the imperial court, but the imperial court left us to Jiannu, it is not my fault, I am unwilling to leave." “

Xu Dajin shouted loudly: "Xu Mingsheng, the imperial court lost Liaodong because the traitorous ministers were in charge, how can you blame the imperial court?" The Son of Heaven appoints meritocracy, and naturally sweeps away the barbarians in one fell swoop, and then returns to Liaodong, isn't it okay? As far as you have a lot to do, if you are long-winded, grandpa, I will kill you. “

Xu Mingsheng, who was still vibrating just now, lowered his head and didn't dare to speak again. Xu Dajin turned his head and said flatteringly to Lu Xiangsheng: "Bachelor, we must support the strategy of the imperial court, move south to Fuzhou, and come back after our army defeats Jiannu." ”

Lu Xiangsheng said with satisfaction: "The saint said that people are the most important, rescue people first, and there will be everything if there are talents." Rest assured, we will be able to return to our hometown soon. ”

Without Xu Mingsheng making trouble, everyone had no opinions, and soon Lu Xiangsheng reached an agreement with everyone: put away the small and valuable things first, and then the grain, in addition to bringing what they needed on the road, they could be sold to the Guards, and the Guards would transport them to Fuzhou. Of course, if the means of transportation are sufficient, you can also transport them to Fuzhou by yourself.

Everything else that could not be taken away was burned or buried as much as possible, but food was not allowed to be buried in case the slaves could be found.

If there are young people who are willing to join the Guards, they can also voluntarily sign up, and after review, they are allowed to temporarily join the baggage battalion, and if they perform well, they will be given priority to enter the Guards regular barracks in the future.

Greeting these gentry first, that is actually equivalent to explaining the situation to most people, plus Lu Xiangsheng sent cavalry to mobilize and preach in various villages, which can basically make everyone understand the current situation and let them think about it and make a choice.

After the gentry dispersed, Lu Xiangsheng looked at the Han army integrated by Chen Liyuan again, and temporarily organized them into the baggage battalion of the first division of the Guards. More than a day later, Du Guangting, the commander of the Second Brigade, rushed over with two artillery bureaus, and Lu Xiangsheng was relieved and immediately arranged the defensive positions of various troops, and the artillery was dispersed to the four city walls, especially the northern city wall, and a whole round of artillery was piled up.

Beginning the next day, the people of Haizhou began to set off and migrate to the distant Fuzhou. The Guards specially sent baggage personnel to guide and arrange accommodation and food, and it was estimated that the Liao people who were willing to go to Fuzhou could be transported within ten days.

Of course, there are still some people who are reluctant to leave their homeland no matter what, even if the guards and squires from all over the country come to persuade them, they will not change their minds, these are mostly some old people, if they are strong, it is very likely to cause a situation where they will die clearly, which makes Lu Xiangsheng and others very troubled.

Xu Mingsheng volunteered to persuade these people, Lu Xiangsheng looked at him suspiciously, Xu Mingsheng blushed and said: "Don't worry, the students have already figured it out, and they won't deliberately persuade them not to leave." ”

Lu Xiangsheng nodded, there can't be a worse result anyway, so let him try. Xu Mingsheng didn't know what to say to them, anyway, in the end, these old people agreed to leave Haizhou with them, and left their hometown with tears in the company of the young people at home.

Lu Xiangsheng was a little surprised, very curious about how Xu Mingsheng persuaded them, but he had always had some opinions about what Xu Mingsheng said that day, so he didn't ask him in the end.

On the third day, Yue Tuo, who was inlaid with the red flag, had already learned the details of Haizhou, and he hurriedly reported it. After receiving the information, Nurhachi ordered him to immediately take people back to Haizhou, and began to mobilize the other banners to prepare for a decisive battle with the Guards in southern Liaoning.

At this time, Cao Wenzhao had already solved Jinzhou and was marching to Fuzhou.

Liu Xingpei, the guard general of Jinzhou, is Liu Xingzuo's cousin, when Cao Wenzhao led people to Nanguan, Liu Xingpei feasted more than 100 Houjin soldiers in Jinzhou, and then arrested all the Houjin soldiers who were drunk crookedly at the banquet.

When Cao Wenzhao came to the outside of Jinzhou City, what he saw was a bunch of Houjin soldiers who were tied up. Liu Xingpei said: "The sinner Liu Xingpei visited the general, and these Jiannu were asked to be dealt with by General Cao." ”

Cao Wenzhao rolled his eyes and said, "There is General Lao Liu." ”

All kinds of requests, thank you for your support! Regarding Xu Mingsheng's point of view, in fact, the author agrees with it and will write it in the future. Lu Xiangsheng's disdain is disapproved of by the author, which will be explained later.
