Chapter Seventy-Four: Lu Xiangsheng is not dead and leaked
Zilharang next to him said: "Your Majesty, you will definitely be able to sit in Beijing!" I heard that the Han people in Beijing spread such a saying after the break, [Note] Lao Han Wang sits in Beijing - satisfied! β
γNoteγLao Han Wang, also known as "drinking rod", Manchurian transliteration, refers to the Manchurian emperor. The ethnic minorities in the north call the king "Khan", and the Manchu language is transliterated as "Han" and "drink rod". Therefore, Lao Han Wang refers to their king, that is, the meaning of the emperor. "Lao Han Wang sits in Beijing - satisfied" is a sentence after the break in old Beijing.
"Ha Lu Ha!" Huang Taiji laughed and said, "Oh! There is such a saying in Beijing? That's right! After I sit in Beijing, of course, I will be satisfied! β
Jierharang immediately complimented: "My emperor will be Dingding Yanjing!" Huang Taiji smiled, then restrained his smile and asked, "How are the preparations for the attack on Ning Yuan going?" β
Zilharan replied, "Completely ready!" Guarding Ningyuan was the governor of Tongzhi Jin Guofeng, who commanded 10,000 people. But don't worry! The Ming army is all sheep! β
Huang Taiji nodded his head and said, "Okay! Let's strike! Let Chongzhen know the existence of my Qing Dynasty! At the same time, I will also help the rogues in the Ming Dynasty, if the rogues are all eliminated, it will not be a good thing for my Qing Dynasty! If you are here, you can fight the Ming Dynasty with my Daqing! β
"Yes!" Zilharang answered, but he hadn't stepped down yet, and he had something to say. Huang Taiji looked at him and asked, "What's wrong?" What else is there to say? β
Zilharang said: "According to the information we have found, Lu Xiangsheng is not dead! He was rescued, and he still recuperated under the arrangement of Yao Dongzhao, a famous giant deer! It's just that Lu Xiang seems to have become blind! β
Huang Taiji glared at Zilharang and asked, "Is the news accurate?" Zilharan replied: "Yes!" The message is exact! β
"Hee-hee!" Huang Taiji smiled and said, "It's good! I know it! That's right! Didn't you say some time ago that one of Hong Chengchou's generals was in contact with my envoy? β
Zilharan replied, "Yes! It's with us, but it's not credible! This general's name is Jiang Fei, and he wants to step on two boats! β
Huang Taiji waved his hand and said, "Jiang Fei, let him step on two boats!" It's just that he has an enmity with Zhang Biwu, and it is a feud that does not share the sky, is this really not wrong? β
Zilharang nodded in response, "Yes! That's right! Jiang Fei really can't wait to get rid of Zhang Biwu as soon as possible! The two of them are like fire and water! β
Huang Taiji was very happy: "That's good!" That's what I wanted! If you tell him the news that Lu Xiangsheng did not die and was saved by Zhang Biwu, Zhang Biwu would have committed the crime of bullying the king! The emperor of the Southern Dynasty was suspicious, and he was the most jealous of his subordinates to deceive him in his life! Lu Xiangsheng is not dead and still hiding, if the emperor of the Southern Dynasty knows the Tao, what will happen? Giggle! Zhang Biwu's head is about to land! If you don't die, you have to go to prison! At that time, it would have been very easy to let Gao Qiqian kill him! β
Zilharang nodded and praised: "The emperor is sage! That's exactly what it is! Huang Taiji smiled and said, "It's time for the shadow killer Barto to strike!" Let's set off with Attack Ningyuan! β
"Ahh Zilharang couldn't help but be stunned, because Huang Taiji sent Bato out! This is a solemn expression.
In October, the Qing army attacked Ningyuan again, and the soldiers were timid. Knowing that Jin Guofeng was indignant, he wanted to raise the prestige of the Ming army, so he led dozens of people from his relatives to fight hard with the Qing soldiers in Beishangang, and he tried his best to die with his second son and all his relatives.
For this reason, Ning Yuan's Ming army was so scared that they didn't even dare to move. And the entire Ming Dynasty was in fear, afraid that the Qing army would enter the country again, just like this year, so that the Ming Dynasty would suffer heavy losses again.
Hong Chengchou, the governor of Jiliao, hurriedly arranged defenses to prevent another invasion by the Qing army. The Qing army only beat Ning Yuan and killed Jin Guofeng, so there was no next move, but it made the Ming people all soldiers.
Ning Yuan was attacked again, and Tongzhi Jin Guofeng was killed. There is no doubt that because the Ming army saw that the Qing army was moving in Ningyuan again, they had to temporarily press down to increase the number of troops Zheng Chongjian or eliminate Zhang Xianzhong, so as to defend the Qing army first.
Jiang Fei also knew the news, but instead of worrying about the war, he was drinking with the newly arrived Manchu spy Bato.
Bato glanced at Jiang Fei contemptuously and said, "I will repay you for your sincerity!" You're relieved! In fact, Jiang Fei didn't know the true identity of Lu Daobato, only that Lu Daobato was a new person sent by the Qing Dynasty to connect with him.
Jiang Fei bowed: "Of course! Of course! I don't want to fight the Qing Dynasty! "The reason why Jiang Fei came into contact with the Manchu Qing was because he also knew the Qing army, and he came with Hong Chengchou to defend Ningyuan, he wanted to leave a way out for himself, in case he was defeated by the Qing army, he had contact with the Qing earlier, so he would not die. It's just that he still wants to stay in Daming, which is a reserved hand.
Bato can see this idea of his, but he knows that he can't drop Jiang Fei's line, how to say it, Jiang Fei is still a celebrity around Hong Chengchou!
First of all, he talked about the Qing army's attack on Ningyuan just to warn the Ming Dynasty, and of course he did not rule out the possibility of another large-scale southern invasion. Bato said that this was intentional, that is, to contain the strength of the Ming army and prevent the Ming court from going all out to exterminate the Liukou.
After chatting about this, we talked about other aspects, and then Bato pulled on Lu Xiangsheng. Bato said solemnly: "According to reliable information, Lu Xiangsheng is not dead!" Instead, he was saved by the great hero Zhang Biwu! β
These words stimulated Jiang Fei, and Jiang Fei also received news from Cai Tu, Cai Tu couldn't kill Zhang Biwu one after another, which in itself was indignant! Jiang Fei had been thinking about how to get rid of Zhang Biwu, and now when he heard what Bato said, his eyes couldn't help but glow.
"What do you say? Lu Xiangsheng is not dead? Jiang Fei looked directly at Bato, who smiled and said, "Yes! At that time, Zhang Biwu confronted our soldiers, and the soldiers could see that Lu Xiangsheng was not dead, and dared to resist the heavenly soldiers! It's a pity that Duoduo is incompetent, otherwise, how could Zhang Biwu and Lu Xiangsheng escape? How could there be a big lie that our General Yue Tuo died at the hands of Zhang Biwu? β
The Manchus wanted to save face, and it was clear that Yue Tuo and Ma Zhan were killed by Zhang Biwu, but this incident was too embarrassing, so the Manchus unanimously insisted that Yue Tuo and Ma Zhan died of illness, and the attack on Jinan was suppressed and no one was allowed to mention it!
Jiang Fei was excited and said, "The news is reliable? Bato straightened his face and said, "Don't you believe us?" β
Jiang Fei didn't dare, and said, "Believe! I believe it! How can you not believe it? I don't know where Lu Xiangsheng is? Bato then said: "I heard that it was arranged by Yao Dongzhao, who was a deep friend, when Lu Xiangsheng was a famous soldier before. I also heard that Lu Xiangsheng was going to Zhang Biwu's three counties to recuperate. Now Lu Xiangsheng is already incognito! All right! That's it! Come! Drink! β
Jiang Fei kept muttering Bato's words in his heart, he was just thinking about how to harm Zhang Biwu, of course, in addition to sending his cronies to find out if Lu Xiangsheng was really alive, he also had to let Cai Tu also prepare to find Lu Xiangsheng, so as to kill Zhang Biwu.
However, Jiang Fei's mind turned, and he figured it out, he couldn't come forward in person, there was a person who was more suitable! Who is the person who is most afraid of Lu Xiangsheng's immortality? It's a high-powered Yang Sichang! Right! If Yang Sichang came forward to do this, it would be much better than him Jiang Fei! It's easier to finish! More sure!
"Hee-hee!" Jiang Fei smiled sinisterly, cursing in his heart: "Zhang Biwu, I don't think you're dead!" How can you bear the sin of deceit? Ha Lu Ha! β
Barto looked at Jiang Fei's appearance and understood that his task was complete, and he then raised his glass and touched Jiang Fei with a glass of wine.
Jiang Fei didn't want to drink with Barto anymore, so he sent someone to check first, and then he let Yang Sichang's cronies know Lu Dao in the name of others, so that Yang Sichang knew that Lu Xiangsheng was not dead.
As soon as Yang Sichang received this news, he was really uneasy, he paced around, Lu Xiangsheng has always been his strong opponent in politics, if Lu Xiangsheng didn't die, it would be bad!
Because public opinion is biased towards Lu Xiangsheng, accusing him Yang Sichang of not saving Lu Xiangsheng when he saw death, if it weren't for the emperor's favor, he Yang Sichang would have been questioned a long time ago!
Public opinion also unanimously believes that Lu Xiangsheng is today's Yue Fei! His death was even more unjust than Yue Fei! If people knew that Lu Xiangsheng would not die, people would definitely bring him out again, and Lu Xiangsheng's reputation in the army was very high. As long as Lu Xiangsheng really didn't die, now that Daming was worried about internal and external troubles, Chongzhen was unhappy, but he would still use Lu Xiangsheng.
In addition, he recommended Xiong Wencan to be the prime minister to appease, and now Zhang Xianzhong is back in the picture, and the situation that has just changed for a good time has failed all of a sudden! A lot of responsibility is pointed at him, Yang Sichang.
Chongzhen asked Xiong Wencan to look at the crime to suppress the bandits, but Zuo Liangyu and the famous general Luo Dai were defeated in Luo Yingshan, more than 10,000 soldiers died, and less than 1,000 soldiers were rescued. And Luo Dai was captured alive and killed by Zhang Xianzhong. For this reason, Xiong Wencan has no way to defeat Zhang Xianzhong.
The civil officials of the same party, who were different from Yang Sichang, constantly attacked Yang Sichang and said bad things about Yang Sichang. This is a threat to Yang Sichang, but fortunately, Chongzhen hates this kind of party struggle the most, and his love for Yang Sichang is unwaning, so Yang Sichang is safe for the time being.
However, there is one point: Yang Sichang is now in Xiangyang to oversee the army and prepare to exterminate Zhang Xianzhong. He is far away from the imperial court, and if he is attacked like this, it will be difficult for him to confess!
So can being safe for the time being guarantee that it will be safe in the future? No! No! What if Lu Xiangsheng hadn't died? Maybe this will be the straw that breaks the camel's back!
Yang Sichang knows this very well, Lu Xiangsheng is immortal, and he is a great threat to him! Although it is now concluded that Lu Xiangsheng is dead, he feels that there are many doubts in this matter, and rumors in the society that Lu Xiangsheng did not die but was saved by Zhang Biwu have also appeared. It doesn't seem to be groundless!
Yang Sichang couldn't wait to ignore it, he immediately ordered someone to check Lu Xiangsheng's whereabouts, especially Yao Dongzhao's side of Julu, which became the object of attention.
