Governor Lu Xiangsheng died in battle, Hu Dawei and Yang Guozhu led their own soldiers to flee in panic, and less than 1,000 people were gathered up by more than 5,000 soldiers, such a defeat was not noticeable in the war between the Ming Dynasty and the Jurchens, tens of thousands of people, hundreds of thousands of people were scattered, and big defeats abounded.

Lu Xiangsheng died in battle, but some scholars and officials who saw through it shouted that the country had lost its pillars, and Yang Sichang and other lords and factions must be very happy in their hearts.

Moreover, since Chongzhen ascended the throne, a lot of scholars, governors, governors, and political envoys have been killed, and many have died outside the border and in Shaanxi.

It's just that as soon as the thousands of soldiers led by Lu Xiangsheng were dispersed, there were no more officers and troops in Beizhili who took the initiative to fight, and there were no troops who even took the initiative to defend. Wang Pu, the chief soldier, led his army to run to the camp of Gao Qiqian, thinking that he would be able to settle down safely, and in the future, he would be able to soar with the help of Yang Sichang, a scholar of the cabinet and a secretary of the military department, and Gao Qiqian, a great eunuch.

In the camp under his command, the eunuch Gao Qiqian unceremoniously rejected Lu Xiangsheng's request for help, and the rescue proposal of the chief soldier Zu Kuan was also rejected. He got the news of Lu Xiangsheng's death in battle almost on the first day, and after getting the news, Gao Qiqian was terrified and immediately pulled out the camp and retreated.

Eunuch Gao's panic was not because of Lu Xiangsheng's death, but because he was panicked by the fact that the Manchu army was so close to his side, and he was afraid that he would suffer the same fate as Lu Xiangsheng.

Tens of thousands of troops hurriedly pulled out their camps and retreated, which was already chaotic and prone to chaos, and small groups of troops continued to break up on the way to retreat, but this was also something to worry about.

After walking less than fifteen miles, there was a sudden ambush of Tartars on the way, Gao Qiqian first avoided the battle, and then retreated in a panic, the morale of the army could not be talked about for a long time, it was all panicked, suddenly there was an ambush riot, the whole army was suddenly a big rout, and a full 40,000 people immediately scattered like a plate of scattered sand, and collapsed.

Gao Qiqian rode a horse to Zhending Mansion, 40,000 soldiers and horses are Guan, Ning and Xuan, the big border soldiers, can also be called elite, from the Beijing division to Shunde Mansion, the whole army has not tasted a battle, not a single arrow, the enemy will be broken and scattered, in fact, the so-called ambush is just two thousand partial divisions of the Qing army.

Lu Xiangsheng and Gao Qiqian's troops disappeared in a glorious or disgraceful way, except for the forbidden army around the Beijing Division, there were no soldiers and horses in Beizhili who could fight in the field.

This news was also sent to the Beijing Division by the local state and county officials who did not fall, and the dead soldiers were sent to the Beijing Division in an urgent manner, and the entire Beijing Division was suddenly shocked, and the top and bottom were panicked.

With Emperor Chongzhen's temper, he didn't care about who was responsible this time, but ordered the following celebrant and cabinet and various yamen to desperately send messengers to the outside world, and at the same time transferred the governor Hong Chengchou and the governor of Shaanxi Sun Chuanting into Beijing to guard the king of Qin. But Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting had just defeated Li Zicheng's troops in Tongguan, and they were cleaning up the remnants of the enemy, and from Shaanxi to North Zhili, even if it was a starry night, it was far away and could not quench the thirst of the near.

Therefore, at the suggestion of Yang Sichang, the secretary of the Ministry of War, the army of the surrounding provinces of Beizhili was mobilized, which was regarded as acting cheaply nearby, and in addition, Yang Sichang, the secretary of the Ministry of War, first concealed his delay in military salaries, but secondly, the reason why Lu Xiangsheng died in battle was that Lu Xiangsheng was greedy for merit and lightly advanced the enemy.

Emperor Chongzhen has a habit of believing in a certain minister, then he believes unconditionally and unprincipledly, this Yang Sichang belongs to the minister who is unconditionally trusted by him, and the reason why Lu Xiangsheng died in battle is really believed by him.

On December 14 of the 11th year of Chongzhen, Gao Qiqian's whole army was defeated, and Lu Xiangsheng's counselor Yang Tinglin returned to the battlefield alone, and the surrounding residents had already run out, and no one cleaned the battlefield.

On the battlefield, Yang Tinglin saw a corpse wearing linen clothes, his face was already blurred, and the only person who would wear it like this on the battlefield was Governor Lu Xiangsheng, Yang Tinglin knelt beside the corpse, only felt tears streaming down his face, opened his mouth wide and wanted to cry but couldn't make a sound.

The so-called Yue Wumu shouted "every day" when he was dying, this situation and this scene are similar to seeming.

In the city of Dezhou, the governor Yan Jizu and the eunuch Liu Yuanbin were beaming, and the news of the death of Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of Xuanda, had reached the city of Dezhou.

Shandong seems to be fine, and a few days ago, Li Meng's men and horses in the Jiaozhou battalion also cut off more than a dozen Tartar heads in Beizhili and came back.

I really don't know how this General Li trained the soldiers, he was so brave, it is said that ten people beat sixteen, with these heads in his hands, after the withdrawal of the army in the future, he will have some merit on the side of the imperial court, and the governor and the supervisor will definitely have a proper command of the military merits.

It seems that Li Meng, the general of the four prefectures, really wants to have a good relationship in the future, with such a subordinate here, no matter how domineering, there are merit points above, and he will be promoted to make a fortune, such a person is really a righteous person!

However, after Lu Xiangsheng died in battle, on the twenty-first day of the twelfth month of the eleventh year of Chongzhen, the Jingshi's request for help arrived in Dezhou, and the so-called cavalry was the cavalry of the Jinyi Guard.

The movement of troops and horses in various places is commanded by the governor and the supervising army, and whether the local military generals are domineering or not is a matter for the military generals, and the imperial court only asks the civil officials.

The Son of Heaven issued an edict to summon soldiers and horses from all over the country to enter the North Zhili to fight the Tartars, and the governor Yan Jizu naturally had to handle it carefully, and Liu Yuanbin, the superintendent of the army, had no objections, of course, if you don't want to send troops or deal with it, it is very simple, as long as you send this military order to the military general with the troops, and then let it deal with it yourself.

Anyway, it is possible for the military generals to come up with any strange reasons, and it is simple to shirk responsibility, but for Li Meng's side, the governor and the supervising army did not dare to do so, and the hundreds of heads in front of the Yamen of Zhizhou that day are still hanging on the head of the city, Li Meng dares to let go of the killing, if he offends him, it will be troublesome if he can't keep it.

So although the matter was urgent, the two officials still politely appeased Qin Cha, sent someone to invite the general Li Meng to come, and after inviting Li Meng, they told Li Meng the situation as it was, Yan Jizu was a member of the Ministry of Officials back then, and Liu Yuanbin was also on an errand in the inner court, and his speech was smooth and well-behaved.

only said the will of the imperial court, did not show any attitude of his own, let Li Meng decide by himself, to their surprise, Li Meng, who looked extremely utilitarian and refused to suffer a little loss, simply responded happily, and the Jiaozhou battalion was willing to enter the north and fight to the death with the Tartars.

Since the Qing army entered Beizhili from Qiangziling and Qingshankou, although the Jiaozhou battalion has made every effort to defend in Dezhou and spilled cavalry to investigate and investigate, the Qing army has never appeared in the direction of Hejian Fu facing Dezhou, and has been engaged in wind and rain in Beizhili, Li Meng is not willing to accept this situation.

Since he didn't shirk the blame, he came to this front line from the four prefectures in the rear and participated in the national war, that is, in order to fight to the death with the Tartars, protect my Huaxia mountains and rivers, always guard the palace like this, and watch the other party wreak havoc in the land of Gyeonggi, Li Meng has long been a little unbearable, but on this front line, he needs to obey the will and orders of the imperial court, otherwise, according to the wishes of the princes of the imperial court, the first thing to deal with is the Jiaozhou battalion, and the food supply of this inner line of combat has been cut off, and his 10,000 soldiers will be wasted in vain.

I was anxious, but I was helpless, and Li Meng did not have a credible judgment on where the Qing army would go next, his 10,000 people could only be a little defensive, if he didn't know the other party's movements, I am afraid it would only be in vain, rather than this, it was better to take the initiative to attack, and this order of the imperial court was in line with Li Meng's mind.

And although there is a large army of Tartars raging in Beizhili, but the information exchange network between the local and central areas is also very convenient, if you enter the Beizhili battle, you can share this information at any time, and your ears and eyes are also more flexible, so that you don't know where the other party is going next, and the advantage of active combat is that no matter where the enemy is going next, I just need to chase you to fight.

However, this so-called convenience of information is only Li Meng's own opinion, seeing Li Meng's side agree, the Qincha, the governor and the supervising army are all relieved, and at the same time told the general Li Meng that the army of the Eastern Jurchen is wandering around Shunde Mansion and Guangping Mansion, and the judgment of the military department is that the Tatars will soon return to the north, and they hope that the army will intercept them halfway.

This news is similar to Li Meng's dispatch to scout horses to get information, after Li Meng returned to the camp, he issued an order to mobilize, and the Ma Gang Department stationed in Jingzhou was the vanguard first, and Li Meng's headquarters camp immediately set off and rushed to southern Hebei to block the Tatars.

Before leaving, Li Meng still discussed with the governor Yan Jizu and the supervisor Liu Yuanbin, as soon as the Jiaozhou battalion left, the area around Dezhou would be empty, and the soldiers and horses of Qiu Lei, the general soldier of Shandong, could be arranged between Dezhou and Jinan, and it was also a force of more than 6,000 people, and it was also a military force.

Li Meng's suggestion was exactly the wish of the governor and the supervising army, and it was impossible to rely on dozens of personal soldiers to guard this gateway place, so he naturally agreed with his mouth.

Seeing that it is the Spring Festival, but there is no festive atmosphere in the Ming Dynasty, it is miserable and miserable, and the war clouds are thick......
