822 Liu Zeqing sent troops, Fengyun Hui Jinling

[Today's chapter is presented, please subscribe!!] 】

At the beginning of May of the sixteenth year of Chongzhen, Qi Wei led the elite of the 3,000 White Dragon Army, walked the Lujiang River, and landed in the Wuhu area of Taiping Mansion.

The reason why Qi Wei went to Lujiang Mansion was because the prefect of Lujiang Mansion at this time had already taken refuge in Li Zixiao, and they would not be hindered in any way when they went to Lujiang.

After crossing the Yangtze River, Qi Wei immediately got in touch with the intelligence bureau personnel waiting there, and then they led the way north to the Jinling area.

"See General Qi, who was ordered to wait for the general."

As soon as Qi Wei led his army to land in the Wuhu area, some personnel from the Intelligence Bureau came to visit Qi Wei.

"Well, where is Lu Xiangsheng now?"

Qi Wei rode on his horse and asked.

"General Hui, according to our latest news, Lu Guogong is now hiding in Chunhua Town, south of Jinling, among a wealthy merchant surnamed Liu.

However, it seems that there are several forces of unknown forces who have heard the wind and are rushing to Chunhua Town. ”

"Without further ado, you lead the way, and we will rush to Chunhua Town immediately."

After Qi Wei heard the report of this intelligence officer, he also knew that time was pressing, so he immediately went on the road non-stop and went to Chunhua Town.

From Wuhu to Chunhua Town, it is more than 160 miles, and even if Qi Wei and the others hurry up, it is expected that it will take two days to arrive.

This is still a smooth journey, without encountering any emergencies and delaying time.

Just when Qi Wei led the army to Wuhu, Li Zixiao also asked Wei Hong to officially send troops from Kaifeng and go south directly from Fengyang Mansion without going around to Luzhou Mansion.

On the same day that Wei Hong sent troops from Kaifeng, Zhang Fugui had also sent the White Dragon Army south to rescue Lu Xiangsheng.

Peng!

"Li Zixiao, what does he want to do?"

In the capital of the Ming Dynasty, Chongzhen was also angry and furious after receiving the news that the White Dragon Army had sent troops south from Kaifeng.

In the past few days, Chongzhen has been angry and busy because of Lu Xiangsheng's attack outside Jinling City.

With the attack on Lu Xiangsheng, all the reform efforts he had made in the capital before him were basically in vain.

Even, after Lu Xiangsheng was attacked, the vast majority of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty did not worry about Lu Xiangsheng, and even wrote to impeach Lu Xiangsheng, demanding that the reform policy implemented by Lu Xiangsheng be abolished immediately.

Because of these things, Chongzhen is upset enough.

At this time, let Chongzhen hear the news that the White Dragon Army sent troops south from Kaifeng to cross the river into Jinling, how could he not be angry.

"Ahem!"

After roaring, Chongzhen coughed violently, and his body became worse and worse.

"Sent an order to Liu Zeqing, the chief soldier of Shandong, and asked him to send troops to Xuzhou to force Li Zixiao's men and horses back.

Li Zixiao is now in the Wa Kingdom, Wei Hong took most of the soldiers and horses in Kaifeng away, and Li Zixiao did not have many people in Xuzhou.

Xuzhou wanted Li Zixiao's place of fortune, but I didn't believe Li Zixiao's subordinate Wei Hong, and dared to let Xuzhou lose it.

In addition, he gave orders to Lu Da'an, the governor of Nanzhili, and Lu Yuanqing, the guard of Jinling Town, so that they could mobilize Nanzhili's soldiers and horses to deploy defenses in the south of the Yangtze River, and not allow Li Zixiao's men and horses to cross the Yangtze River.

Tell them that from this day forward, I will abandon the new policy and restore the old system.

Go to the herald. ”

After saying this, Chongzhen felt physically and mentally exhausted, leaned on the dragon chair, waved weakly at Wang Chengen next to him, and said.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Wang Chengen's eyes were red, and he answered, and went down to convey Chongzhen's order.

After Chongzhen issued this order, it meant that he completely gave up Lu Xiangsheng's new policy and compromised with those wealthy nobles in Jiangnan.

In exchange for this, they can wholeheartedly resist the White Dragon Army's southward movement this time, and prevent the White Dragon Army from crossing the Yangtze River and meddling in the south of the Yangtze River.

At the same time, this also means that Chongzhen will give up tracking down Lu Xiangsheng's attack and treat Lu Xiangsheng as a victim.

"Jiandou (Lu Xiangsheng's words), I'm sorry for you!"

Chongzhen sat alone in the empty and deserted palace, with water flowing from the corners of his eyes, and said in a low voice.

Soon, Liu Zeqing, the general soldier of Shandong, was in Qingzhou and received an order from Chongzhen.

"His grandmother's, the saint actually asked me to send troops to fight Xuzhou, then Li Zixiao is easy to deal with!

If Xuzhou was easy to fight, Lao Tzu would have fought a long time ago, and he could wait until now! ”

After Liu Zeqing received Chongzhen's order, he was not the slightest happy, but became worried.

In the past few years, under the governance of Li Zixiao's subordinates, Xuzhou has already undergone earth-shaking changes and become rich.

And Xuzhou is next to Liu Zeqing's territory, for such a big piece of fat around him, Liu Zeqing is very greedy in the morning.

However, the outstanding achievements of the White Dragon Army led by Li Zixiao and the strong combat power of the White Dragon Army shocked Liu Zeqing and made him dare not swallow this piece of fat.

At this time, it would be good if Li Zixiao did not annex his Liu Zeqing's Shandong, how dare he Liu Zeqing attack Li Zixiao's territory.

"General, it's different now.

I heard that Li Zixiao, the loyal and brave marquis, led his troops to the sea half a year ago and went to fight the Japanese country, but he hasn't come back yet.

A few days ago, Wei Hong, a general under Li Zixiao, commanded 50,000 troops and went south from Kaifeng to Jinling to rescue Lu Guogong.

Now, in the entire Kaifeng and Xuzhou areas, there are not many people stationed at all.

Let's fight now, maybe we can really take Xuzhou.

When we have conquered Xuzhou and have silver and food in our hands, we will immediately expand our troops and horses.

At that time, the general will have food, money and soldiers in his hands, and he will be afraid of him Li Zixiao!

Why is Li Zixiao so arrogant, he even dares to disobey the orders of the court and His Majesty, it's not because he has strong soldiers and horses in his hands!

What's more, there is an arsenal of Li Zixiao in Xuzhou, and according to reliable sources, the muskets under Li Zixiao are basically produced from this arsenal.

If this arsenal can be controlled by the general, so that our soldiers can also be equipped with Li Zixiao's kind of musket, it is enough to greatly increase the combat power of the general's soldiers.

When the time comes, what he Li Zixiao can do, the general must be able to do the same.

Moreover, this time we are at the behest of His Majesty, even if Li Zixiao comes back, we don't have to be afraid of him anymore.

Even, the general can swallow the entire Jiangbei in one go before Li Zixiao comes back.

Li Zixiao died, and at this time he actually went to fight the Japanese country, and his subordinates really couldn't understand what a small overseas Japanese country could have to fight.

But Li Zixiao died by himself, but he gave the general a chance! ”

Just when Liu Zeqing was hesitating in his heart, a strategist beside him seemed to find an opportunity for Liu Zeqing to rise and talked at length.

And Liu Zeqing was immediately moved by what his strategist said.

"Damn, Liu Tao, you're so right.

He Li Zixiao is so arrogant, isn't it because he has money and soldiers in his hands! And that kind of powerful musket.

If Lao Tzu had him Li Zixiao in his hands, Lao Tzu would be able to defeat the Tartars and be crowned Marquis. ”

Liu Zeqing very much agreed with the words of his strategist, looked at his strategist, and asked again: "You mean, we have to obey His Majesty's orders this time and really send troops to fight Xuzhou?" ”

In fact, Liu Zeqing's fear of Li Zixiao and the White Dragon Army is too deep, and he still doesn't dare to make this determination.

"General, this is our chance.

And you don't want to disobey!

Besides, the lowly position can be clearly told to the general.

Even if the general doesn't make a move on Xuzhou at this time, when Li Zixiao comes back from the overseas Japanese country, I'm afraid he will also make a move on the general's Shandong.

Look at the previous time, Li Zixiao's forcible occupation of Dengzhou had already shown his ambition.

When the time comes, when Li Zixiao takes the initiative to lead the troops over, does the general think he can still resist?

Instead of sitting back and waiting, you should take advantage of this rare opportunity to strike and turn the tide.

Otherwise, if this opportunity is missed, it will be difficult for the general to trip Li Zixiao in the future. ”

The advisor replied.

"Okay, I'll listen to you. Chuan Ben ordered the general army to assemble men and horses, and went south to Xuzhou three days later. ”

Finally, after being persuaded by Liu Tao's last words, Liu Zeqing finally made up his mind to follow Chongzhen's will and go south to use troops against Xuzhou.

Because, as his strategist Liu Tao said, instead of sitting and waiting for death, it is better to take the initiative.

"General, we can pull another ally this time to deal with Li Zixiao together."

Liu Tao was also very excited when he saw that Liu Zeqing had adopted his opinion, and he had a kind of pride of 'death for his confidant', and continued to give advice to him.

"Who?"

"King De of Jinan.

Some time ago, there was a lot of uproar in Qingzhou, and most of the silver theft cases in King De's mansion were done by Li Zixiao.

King De also knew this, but he couldn't do anything about Li Zixiao.

I can only knock out my teeth and swallow the blood in my stomach.

After that time, King De must have hated Li Zixiao to the core.

This time, if we go south to use troops against Xuzhou, I think King De will definitely be willing to help us. ”

"Haha, okay, this general soldier will repair a letter now and inform King De."

Liu Zeqing said with a laugh.

Just when Liu Zeqing was moved by the strategists and was about to use troops against Xuzhou, Jiangpu Wharf in the north of the Yangtze River, at this time, the 50,000 troops of the White Dragon Army led by Wei Hong had arrived here.

However, after arriving here, Wei Hong had some trouble crossing the Yangtze River.

Because, Lu Da'an, the governor of Nanzhili, got the news early and emptied all the ships on the Yangtze River in advance, and no ships were allowed to appear in Jiangbei.

At the same time, on the Yangtze River upstream and downstream of Jinling, there were also more than a dozen Ming warships patrolling, and no ships were allowed to be requisitioned by the White Dragon Army.

"The fleet from Yangzhou, how can it arrive?"

Wei Hong led the army to Jiangpu, where he was temporarily stationed, and asked the generals under his command.

"Back to the general, we have sent someone to inform the Yangzhou side, and the people there said that in about two days, hundreds of ships will arrive in Jiangpu.

However, due to the appearance of imperial warships on the Yangtze River at this time.

It may be necessary for the warships of our navy to clean up the Yangtze River first and control the Yangtze River before the fleet can come over, and the time may be delayed.

But they assured that within three days, the fleet would arrive. ”

A White Dragon Army general reported to Wei Hong.

"Okay, Ben will wait here for three days.

You send someone to inform the Yangzhou side and tell them that within three days, the fleet will not arrive, and they will all be punished for delaying the fighters. ”

"Yes, General."

At the same time, the three thousand elite men and horses of the White Dragon Army led by Qi Wei have also entered the Jinling realm.

Along the way, the men and horses led by Qi Wei encountered several unknown forces one after another, and even clashed with them.

In the end, of course, it was Qi Wei's side that won.

But Qi Wei also found that the soldiers of the unknown forces who were repelled by them were not weak, and they were definitely not ordinary bandits, they were obviously trained.

Moreover, those unknown forces are still connected with each other.

"Hou Ye is right, this time Lu Guogong was attacked, and it was really very greasy inside, and many forces in Jiangnan participated.

Otherwise, how could there be so many elite people out to search for Lu Guogong.

I really don't believe that there can be such a force in Jiangnan, with such power. ”

Qi Wei rode on the horse and said indifferently.

For Lu Xiangsheng, Qi Wei, like Li Zixiao, also admires from the bottom of his heart.

"It's a pity that Lu Guogong's new policy has offended the forces of the entire Jiangnan, and has been plotted by those snakes, insects, rats and ants.

The power of these snakes, insects, rats and ants should not be underestimated, they are the head snakes of the land. ”

A general of the White Dragon Army next to him sighed, and also felt sorry and unfair for Lu Xiangsheng, and said.

But then, the White Dragon Army general's voice changed and he continued: "However, this time Lu Guogong was attacked, but it gave us the opportunity to go south.

In this way, we actually have to thank Lu Guogong.

Lu Guogong lost the contest with these despicable villains, and the next thing is to see if our White Dragon Army can fight this group of local snakes. ”

"Hmph, as the saying goes, 'a strong dragon doesn't suppress the head snake on the ground', but this time, our White Dragon Army doesn't believe in this evil.

We're going to be a strong dragon this time, swallow the snake here, and bring this place into our jurisdiction. ”

Qi Wei said with a grim face and murderously.

Qi Wei has long been unaccustomed to the corrupt systems of the Ming Dynasty at this time, as well as the greed among the wealthy businessmen of the Ming Dynasty.

Qi Wei also agrees with Lu Xiangsheng's new policy reform.

It's a pity that from this time Lu Xiangsheng's failed reform, he was attacked and killed, and his life and death were unknown at this time, Qi Wei also understood.

In the current situation of Daming, there is really no way to save it, and only Li Zixiao has the power to regain Huaxia's life.

Reform without strength guarantee is bound to fail, and Lu Xiangsheng is a bloody example.

Because, don't expect those wealthy nobles and wealthy businessmen, they can have a conscience and are willing to give up some of the interests in their hands.

Conscience is bullshit to them, and silver is their father.

"Report, general, I found several teams of unknown forces in front, and they are heading east."

A White Dragon Army scout ran to Qi Wei and reported.

"To the east? Not good, the east is Chunhua Town.

I'm afraid they have already discovered that Lu Guogong is hiding in Chunhua Town at this time. ”

After hearing the news of the scout, Qi Wei's face also changed.

Immediately, Qi Wei rode on his horse and shouted loudly to the soldiers of the White Dragon Army marching behind: "All the soldiers, speed up the march, the goal is Chunhua Town, hurry up!" ”
