Section 51 Helpless Heroes

The first tornado begins at the end of the Wanderer

"Big brother, but you're going to go to Julu to garrison and set up defenses?"

Lu Xinrong's face was solemn, and his eyes were worried. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info just finished introducing everyone, and immediately asked.

Lu Xiangsheng is not only Lu Xinrong's elder brother, but also the patriarch of the Lu family, so he is called the eldest brother, which means respect.

"Not bad!"

Lu Xiangsheng's eyes were slightly closed, and he nodded slowly, a little depressed.

Julu is located in the alluvial plain of the Yellow River and Zhanghe River in the south of Hebei, and is connected to Nangong and Guangzong counties in the east.

It is bordered by Longyao and Ren County in the west, Pingxiang County in the south, and Ningjin and Xinhe counties in the north.

Choke the north-south throat waterway, and cut off the east-west land connection. Since ancient times, it has been a battleground for soldiers and cannot be neglected.

Since he was a child, Lu Di has studied astronomy and geography, mountains and rivers, soldiers, agriculture, economics, and history, and it is not surprising that he has this insight.

It's a pity that such a traffic artery, where the two sides must fight, the emperor only let himself use a mere 10,000 horses to defend it, and its meaning is self-evident?

It seems that the emperor still wants to negotiate peace!

In August of this year, the Manchu Tatars again gathered 80,000 troops, led by the Tatar chieftain Dolgon, and made a detour south through the Mongolian steppe to attack the core of Beijing.

At that time, the Tartars continued to invade, the domestic rebellion continued, and the Ming Dynasty was in turmoil.

Some ministers of the DPRK and China, headed by Yang Sichang, a scholar of the Ministry of Rites and a scholar of Dongkak University, strongly advocated that they first settle the interior and then the outside, negotiate peace with the Qing army, and step up the pacification of the rebels.

Emperor Chongzhen summoned himself to discuss, and he resolutely fought the battle.

I believe that "only those who can fight can keep their words, and if they can't fight, they will be able to defend everywhere, and the more they defend, the more they will be subject to the enemy."

Today, we must focus on war and defend as a supplement, so that we can control the enemy and not be controlled by the enemy. ”

After that, Emperor Chongzhen wanted to discuss privately with Yang Sichang and Gao Qiqian, the superintendent.

Yang Sichang and Gao Qiqian advocated peace with the Qing army.

It's a pity that his words were too fierce at that time, and the two sides quickly tore their faces, and made a generous statement in the court meeting the next day.

It is believed that the enemy rides vertically and horizontally, drives straight people for a long time, and the Ming Dynasty is not safe, and if it does not fight to save the situation, it will repeat the mistakes of the Southern Song Dynasty.

So there is today's woe.

Let's go! The main thing is that he disobeyed the emperor's will and let the villain get his will.

It's not a pity to die, it's just a pity that this flower Han people are in the country!

Qin Haoming, who was on the side, saw that Lu Xiangsheng's face was depressed for a while, sad and desolate for a while, full of resoluteness, and it was clear that he had a certain heart of death.

I didn't care if I was trespassing, so I hurriedly stepped forward and said, "I wonder if Governor Lu can listen to Xiaosheng?" ”

"Qin Xiucai, but it doesn't hurt to say it."

Because he is a friend of his brother Lu Xinrong, Lu Xiangsheng must give a few thin noodles.

"Xiaosheng has been familiar with the art of war since he was a child, and he is obsessed with military affairs. On the way here, I have been thinking about how to fight the battle with the Manchu Tartars in order to benefit the Ming Dynasty?

I hope Governor Lu doesn't think that the little class has an axe? We ......"

In a hurry, Qin Haoming didn't dare to pretend to be mysterious, and hurriedly wanted to reveal his thoughts and ideas.

"Qin Xiucai is slow!"

As soon as he talked about the plan, Lu Xiangsheng opened his mouth to interrupt Qin Haoming's next words.

Lu Xiangsheng smiled apologetically at Qin Haoming, then shook his head and said a little helplessly: "Qin Xiucai's heart has been received, the outcome of this war has already been decided, Qin Xiucai does not need to waste energy, and do useless work." ”

When everyone present heard this, they were shocked and dumbfounded, and they couldn't understand what Lu Xiangsheng meant by this.

Only Qin Haoming understood what he meant, and he was bitter and aggrieved in his heart.

In fact, in history, Lu Xiangsheng was killed by Chongzhen, killed by Yang Sichang, and killed by Gao Qiqian.

Why?

Before October of the eleventh year of Chongzhen, it should be said that Chongzhen had complete trust in Lu Xiangsheng.

During this period, there were constantly officials in the court who impeached him, and Chongzhen turned a deaf ear.

On September 22, the Manchu Qing Dynasty broke through the dense clouds, killed Wu Aheng, the governor of Jiliao, and went down to Tongzhou, seeing that the city of Beijing was in danger.

Lu Xiangsheng rushed to the rescue, and was appointed by Chongzhen as the "Governor of the World" and gave Shang Fang a sword.

At that time, Lu Xiangsheng, holding the Xuanda Jingcai, Guanning Iron Cavalry and other powerful troops, waved the flag, and confronted the eight banners of the Qing army.

On 30 September, Lu Xiangsheng marched into Baoding and decided to attack the Qing army in Baoding first.

Late that night, Lu Xiangsheng launched a night attack, sent 3,000 elite surprise attacks, and ordered death before the war, "The knife must see blood, the horse must sweat, the person must be wounded, and the offender will be beheaded."

After the outbreak of the war, Lu Xiang was promoted to the first soldier, and the Ming army rushed bravely to kill, but the Tartars could not react and were defeated for a time.

When Lu Xiangsheng wanted to attack automatically, he was surprised to find that his follow-up troops had suddenly disappeared.

It turned out that Gao Qiqian, the eunuch of the prison army sent by Chongzhen, actually evacuated without permission and gave Lu Xiangsheng, who was the first to rush into battle, to "sun".

Fortunately, the Ming army fought to the death and finally came out of the encirclement of the Qing army, but more than half of the casualties were lost.

After this battle, the Tartars also suffered heavy losses, so the Baoding Tartars also retreated more than 30 miles, and the situation was still favorable to the Ming Dynasty.

However, Yang Sichang, the secretary of the Ministry of War, made a big exaggeration, accusing Lu Xiangsheng of going to war privately, resulting in a big defeat.

The next day, Lu Xiangsheng was reprimanded by Chongzhen, full of the heart of killing the enemy, and was poured cold water.

After the Baoding War, Chongzhen's desire for peace rose, and Yang Sichang added oil and vinegar.

In order to prevent Lu Xiangsheng from making trouble with the peace talks, Chongzhen ordered Lu Xiangsheng to enter the army Julu on the one hand, and split all the soldiers and horses of Lu Xiangsheng's headquarters on the other.

That's why Lu Xiangsheng personally led this 10,000 soldiers and horses to march into Julu.

Seriously, Chongzhen didn't want Lu Xiangsheng to die, he just wanted to move him away.

But the problem is that the Manchu Tartars have already laid an ambush under the giant deer cloth, waiting for Lu Xiangsheng to throw himself into the net.

And Yang Sichang wanted to kill Lu Xiangsheng, but it was Lu Xiangsheng's own bitter wine.

When Emperor Chongzhen asked them to communicate privately, Lu Xiangsheng said to Yang Sichang: "The alliance under the city is shameful in the Spring and Autumn Period."

Chang'an's tongue is like the wind, if you are only engaged, Yuan Chonghuan's disaster is immediately seen, how can the public deal with me? ”

Lu Xiangsheng may not feel anything to the onlookers, but Yang Sichang can only shudder after hearing it.

Because Yuan Chonghuan's killing involved Wang Qia, the secretary of the military department, and Qian Longxi, the first assistant, it can be seen that Lu Xiangsheng's uncooperative attitude has made Yang Sichang feel the danger of his own peace.

In the Ming Dynasty, all those who were the main peacemakers, regardless of their motives, would inevitably end up well.

Not only was Yuan Chonghuan of the Lord and the Lord killed, but Qiu Luan of the Jiajing Dynasty and Shi Xing of the Wanli Dynasty were all killed because of the peace negotiation.

Lu Xiangsheng's words undoubtedly forced Yang Sichang into danger, so Yang Sichang could only kill Lu Xiangsheng first, otherwise, he himself would also face danger.

As for Gao Qiqian making trouble for Lu Xiangsheng, it was because of his character achievements.

The eunuch has no offspring, and his psychology is dark, and he only likes money.

Gao Qiqian is Chongzhen's trusted "chief manager of the imperial horse prison", and he often asks for bribes when he goes out to supervise the army, such as Hong Chengchou, Qiu Hejia and others who have paid large bribes.

Only Lu Xiangsheng didn't buy it, so he naturally got married.

Therefore, Yang Sichang and Gao Qiqian joined forces, and Chongzhen himself was also hesitant between the war and peace.

Caught in this whirlpool, Lu Xiangsheng was naturally constrained everywhere, so the three of them forced Lu Xiangsheng to death in this way.

And Lu Xiangsheng's martyrdom was like an optimus pillar collapsing, but it also forced Daming to death.

After that, Yang Sichang committed suicide in the fourteenth year of Chongzhen, and surrendered to the Manchu Tartars after the death of Gao Qiqianming.

When also? Fate?

No, I can't let this happen, there must be other ways.

Qin Haoming's heart kept turning.
