571 five big car heads

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

Lu Yuan led Lu Xiangsheng to a courtyard, where five large cars were parked.

It's just that at this time, these five carts are covered with sackcloth, and I don't know what they are loaded on.

Lu Yuan took Lu Xiangsheng to the five carts, and said to the soldiers standing guard next to him: "Open it, show it to Lord Lu, and let's give him a gift." ”

"Yes."

After hearing Lu Yuan's words, the two soldiers next to him immediately walked over and lifted the linen cloth covering the five carts.

"This ......"

When Lu Xiangsheng saw that the linen cloth on the five carts was lifted and saw clearly what was loaded on the five carts, he couldn't help but widen his eyes and show a look of shock on his face.

Because, these five carts are loaded with nothing else, but round human heads! It's all pickled.

At the same time, Lu Xiangsheng also carefully found that all these heads were shaved, which means that most of these heads came from Tartars.

On the five carts, there are so many Tartar heads, and there must be five or six thousand heads in total, so it is no wonder that Lu Xiangsheng was so shocked.

Of course, Lu Xiangsheng quickly recovered from the shock, he didn't think that these Tartar heads were all from the real Tartar heads.

Most of the time, Li Zixiao killed some Tartar people, or those soldiers of the Mongolian Eight Banners or the Han Eight Banners, to gather these heads.

This also made Lu Xiangsheng guess in his heart that Li Zixiao had probably fought with Tartar in some places.

At this time, Lu Xiangsheng knew nothing about Li Zixiao's troops to occupy Jinzhou.

After all, it has been more than half a year since he broke away from the power center of the Ming Dynasty.

Li Zixiao sent troops to occupy Jinzhou, that group was in the Ming court, and not many people knew about it, and even Chongzhen deliberately pretended not to know.

Chongzhen actually knew about Li Zixiao's dispatch to Jinzhou, but Chongzhen did not tell Lu Xiangsheng.

Li Zixiao sent troops to Jinzhou, and in Chongzhen's opinion, he could contain part of the Tartar army and respond to Hong Chengchou in Jinzhou, which was beneficial to the Ming army.

He wants to see Li Zixiao and Tartar fight to death, whether it is to weaken Tartar or weaken the strength in Li Zixiao's hands at this time, Chongzhen is happy to see it.

But on the other hand, Chongzhen was angry because Li Zixiao did not accept his order, sent troops to Jinzhou, and according to his own style of play, he attacked Lushun and occupied Jinzhou.

Although Chongzhen also feels that Li Zixiao's style of play seems to be more reasonable, this still can't eliminate Chongzhen's growing antipathy towards Li Zixiao.

In a word, the current Chongzhen is more and more unpleasant to Li Zixiao.

No matter how much credit Li Zixiao makes, in Chongzhen's opinion, he deserves it, and he will not give any reward.

On the contrary, any mistakes made by Li Zixiao, any disobedience to him, will be magnified by Chongzhen.

Therefore, when Chongzhen talked to Lu Xiangsheng again, he did not mention Li Zixiao's dispatch of troops to Lushun and occupy Jinzhou.

Not to mention, Li Zixiao just made a series of moves in Zhenjiang, even Chongzhen didn't know at this time, let alone Lu Xiangsheng.

In terms of intelligence and espionage work, Da Ming at this time was far inferior to Tartar.

Over the years, the Tartars have continuously infiltrated all aspects of the Ming Dynasty by bribing officials in the Ming Dynasty, colluding with Shanxi merchants, and sending spies themselves.

And Da Ming in this regard, what he did was completely incomparable with Tartar.

At this time, Jinyiwei, after being abandoned by Chongzhen, may still barely maintain some ability to detect intelligence in Daming, but there is nothing to be done about the situation outside the gate.

It can't be helped, after all, espionage work is very expensive.

Whether the Tartars bought the important ministers of the Ming Dynasty or colluded with the merchants of the Ming Dynasty, they all needed a lot of silver support.

Anyway, most of this silver was looted from the Ming Dynasty by the Tartars, and the Tartars were willing to spend it.

At this time, Chongzhen has to work hard every year to raise military salaries, and the spare money he has there is going to do this!

It was precisely because Lu Xiangsheng didn't know the specific situation that when he saw the Tartar heads of these five carts, his first reaction was that these were fake Tartar heads.

After all, Lu Xiangsheng, who has fought countless battles with the Tartars, knows too well the combat power of the Tartar soldiers, and it is too difficult to kill a Tartar soldier.

Chongzhen once ordered that if you kill five Ming soldiers of the Tartars, you can be promoted to three levels, seal 100 households, and kill the generals of 100 Tartars at one time, and directly seal the general of the North.

Although Chongzhen's reward was rich, it also attracted the eyes of countless Ming soldiers and generals, and stimulated their fighting spirit.

But in the face of the rolling iron hooves of the Tartars, those Ming soldiers and generals realized how far away they were from the rich reward.

Even Lu Xiangsheng doubted that in the past ten years, the Ming army had eliminated more than half of the five big cars in front of him!

"Where did you kill so many Tartars?" Lu Xiangsheng asked suspiciously.

When Lu Yuan heard Lu Xiangsheng's tone, he knew what Lu Xiangsheng was thinking, and said with a slight smile: "Lord Lu, are you doubting that we are killing good people and risking merit, using the heads of homeless people as the heads of Tartars!" ”

Lu Xiangsheng didn't speak, he really thought so in his heart at this time.

"Since Lord Lu is suspicious, then he will send someone over to check it.

I believe that Lord Lu has been fighting with the Tartars for so long before, and there should be someone under his command who can distinguish between the human heads of the real Tartars and the fake Tartars.

As for whether it is to kill the homeless and pretend, it should be even more impossible to hide it from Lord Lu's subordinates. Lu Yuan said calmly.

"Hao Qiang, you go check it out."

Lu Xiangsheng commanded a middle-aged man behind him.

Hao Qiang is Hao Jian's younger brother, Lu Xiangsheng is a person who cares about feelings, after Hao Jian's death, Lu Xiangsheng misses it, so he promoted his younger brother to be a hundred households.

After Lu Xiangsheng made a comeback this time, he personally selected the people led by Hao Qiang to escort him to Dengzhou.

Hao Qiang had been following him and Hao Jian, and he had been fighting against the Tartars several times, and he was very good at how to distinguish between a real Tartar head and a fake Tartar head.

The head of a real Tartar, because he has shaved his hair since he was a child, and those fake Tartar heads who have shaved his hair halfway through the monk, are very easy to distinguish on the scalp.

At this time, Lu Xiangsheng saw that after Hao Qiang checked a Tartar head, he turned to the other side to check another one.

In one car, he went back and forth to find five or six people to check their heads, and then ran to several other cars, one by one, and it took a long time.

Even Lu Xiangsheng was impatient to wait, and shouted to him: "Hao Qiang, what's the situation? Why is it so long, there won't be a real Tartar head! ”

After speaking, Lu Xiangsheng looked at Lu Yuan again, sneered and said, "Is it good for you to use dim sum for this fraud, why don't you put a few real Tartar heads in it."

You really think my men are so easy to fool, we've seen quite a few Tartar heads. ”

At this time, because of Hao Qiang's abnormality, Lu Xiangsheng instinctively thought that Hao Qiang had not found a real Tartar head, so he would keep checking like this.

"Your Excellency." At this time, Hao Qiang, who was next to a big car not far away, finally shouted to Lu Xiangsheng.

"What's wrong? Since you can't find the real thing, don't bother and come back. Lu Xiangsheng said to Hao Qiang.

"No, sir. I want to say that after my careful inspection, these five carts are all loaded with Tartar heads, and they are really the heads of the Eight Banners Tartar Bannermen! ”

At this time, when Hao Qiang said this, he felt that his voice was trembling.

There was also a human head holding a Tartar in one hand, and the palms of the hands were shaking, and it was all because of excitement.

"What! How can it be? Hao Qiang, you can't be mistaken. ”

After hearing this, Lu Xiangsheng's eyes widened instantly, and he shouted in disbelief.

"My lord, Tartar's head, how could I be wrong! Believe it or not, come and see for yourself that this scalp is by no means the result of a recent, or even a few years of shaving. ”

Hao Qiang said with great certainty, which is why he spent so long checking so many heads.

Really, he picked up a human head, and after checking it, he found that it was a real Tartar head, and then picked up another one to check, and it happened or.

At first, Hao Qiang also felt normal, among so many heads, there should always be a small number of real Tartar heads!

However, when he checked that the fourth, fifth, and sixth were all real Tartar heads, Hao Qiang felt incredible.

In the end, he was completely stunned when he surrounded the five carts and examined a total of more than twenty Tartar heads.

Because, after careful identification, all of the five cars of human heads were genuine real Tartar heads, and none of them were fake.

"I'll take a look."

Lu Xiangsheng really couldn't believe this, so he took the initiative to walk over, regardless of the blood stains and dirt, picked up a Tartar human head, touched his scalp and examined it.

"Unexpectedly...... What a Tartar head! A moment later, Lu Xiangsheng exclaimed.

Immediately, he put down the human head, picked up a check from the other side, and then changed to another car to check, and after half a day, Lu Xiangsheng's face had turned from shock to numbness.

Up to now, every Tartar head that Lu Xiangsheng picked up, after his own careful inspection, found that all of them were real Tartar heads, and each one was fake.

"You ...... How is this done? Don't tell this official, you really killed so many Eight Banners Tartar Bannermen? Lu Xiangsheng looked at Lu Yuan in horror and asked.

Lu Yuan shrugged his shoulders, looking like he had nothing to make a fuss about, looking at Lu Xiangsheng's gaffe, Lu Yuan felt very useful.

"There are a total of 5,300 Tartar heads in the five carts here, all of them men, but there are about 4,000 Tartar soldiers of the Eight Banners inside.

The remaining 1,000 or so people are not Eight Banner Tartars, but they are still Eight Banner Tartar Bannermen, although they are not soldiers, but they were all killed by us. ”

Lu Yuan's face was proud, as if he was showing off his achievements, and said to Lu Xiangsheng.

These Tartar heads are all the heads of the Tartar soldiers cut off by Li Zixiao outside the pass, after defeating the two Tartar men and horses of Ilgen Jue Luo Doro and Tumen Fei Dongying.

There is also a part of the beheading of the Tartar men killed by the White Dragon Army after breaking through several Tartar cities.

"How is that possible? Have you killed the Tartars' den, otherwise how could you have killed so many Tartars? The official still didn't believe it. ”

Despite the facts, Lu Xiangsheng still had difficulty convincing himself, which was too unexpected.

"Master Lu, you really guessed it, we really killed the Tartar nest, we not only killed the Tartar nest, our general, and even killed Shengjing City."

Lu Yuan said proudly at this time, of course she didn't mention Li Zixiao's capture of Da Yu'er.

"If Lord Lu doesn't believe me, please come with me."

Lu Yuan turned around and walked towards the living room of this courtyard, Lu Xiangsheng didn't know what was going on in his mind, but he still followed Lu Yuan.

After arriving at this living room, Lu Xiangsheng was immediately attracted by a huge military layout map of Liaodong hanging in the living room.

This military layout map of Liaodong includes the battle situation of the Songjin front line at this time, and more importantly, Lu Xiangsheng saw a Ming army banner set up in the Jinzhou area.

At the same time, there are also red offensive lines in the area of Zhenjiang and Phi Dao in the east, which are all the offensive lines of the White Dragon Army that have just been completed.

At this moment, after Lu Xiangsheng saw this military map, he immediately understood what Lu Yuan said before, and couldn't help but look at him.

"Li Zixiao, did you really take you to the outside of the gate? How do you do that? ”

"That's right, my general has already sent troops to capture Lushun and capture Jinzhou half a year ago, the court should know this, and even the emperor should know about it.

However, they turned a blind eye, because they were afraid that our general would make a greater contribution.

We have contained more than 10,000 Han and Eight Banners in Jinzhou, otherwise the more than 10,000 troops of Shang Kexi should appear on the Songjin front line to deal with Hong Chengchou.

And half a month ago, we just withdrew from Zhenjiang and Phi Dao, and all those Tartar heads were brought back from there.

Our general led us across the sea, conquered Phi Island, occupied it, defeated the two elite cavalry of the Tartars, and then attacked in three ways.

It was distributed to conquer 17 cities such as Tangzhan, Phoenix, Qingtaiyu, Xuancheng, Xiuyan, Xianshanbao, Changdian and Dadian, and killed and captured more than 6,000 Tatar people.

At the same time, we will move away all the more than 170,000 people who once belonged to our Ming Dynasty within a radius of more than 80 miles from Zhenjiang.

At this time, they had all moved to a large island south of Korea, called Tamna Island.

Lord Lu, I dare to ask, my general has achieved such a record in the Tartars, who in the Ming Dynasty can compare.

It can be said arrogantly that even Yuan Dashuai back then had never achieved such an impressive record as a general of our family.

Never, the banner of the Ming Dynasty was inserted into the capital of the Tartars.

However, our general did it, and our army lost as many as 20,000 people in this battle, which is almost all the troops under my general's command except for our encirclement and suppression of Li Zicheng's rebellious army in the Central Plains at this time.

It's really chilling that my general is so hard to deal with the Tartars, but some people still doubt his loyalty, and even the saints no longer trust him! ”
