Chapter 207 Gao Yingxiang's debt collection

"Lu Xiangsheng!" Yu Feng has a faint impression of this name, but he is not an expert in history, and his understanding of this name is far less than his understanding of celebrities such as Yuan Chonghuan and Li Zicheng in later generations, but even so, he can also realize that a person who can serve as the governor of the five provinces and beat the uplifting exile army all over the ground to find teeth, even if he does not have the reputation of Yuan Chonghuan, but he is by no means a simple character.

Yes, Lu Xiangsheng is not a simple character, he is a fierce man, a fierce man such as Zhang Xianzhong, Gao Yingxiang, and Li Zicheng have all seen a fierce man, referred to as: a fierce man among fierce men. Because of his fierceness, these fierce people who were lower than him gave him a nickname, called "King Lu Yan"!

Lu Xiangsheng was born as a Jinshi and is a literati, but although this person is long and literate, he is white and pure, but what he does is a bit out of line with the demeanor of a literati. It's kind of ......, yes, boorish!

He is called "King Lu Yan", not only that he has trained a Tianxiong army for the imperial court, but I am afraid, but it is more that he kills people, and he is not ambiguous at all, and he is not using his mouth to let others do this work, but he himself does it.

He is born with divine power, extremely good at shooting, and superb riding skills, the big blade is not worse than those who are born in martial arts, just these few points, it is already a headache, not to mention that he is still a fake scholar, there must be a plan in his belly, these conditions add up, it is very terrifying.

In the seventh year of Chongzhen, Gao Yingxiang broke into the Wang's department, and Lu Xiangsheng's first meeting was in Yunyang, before this, Gao Yingxiang, Li Zicheng, and leaders from all walks of life, for the name Lu Xiangsheng, there was no impression at all, but this meeting left an indelible impression on Gao Yingxiang, and Lu Xiangsheng has been achieved since then. Because, the governor of Yunyang at that time was Lu Xiangsheng. As a result, Gao Yingxiang escaped, and Yunyang was unharmed.

Gao Yingxiang has always been the number one enemy of the imperial court, he is well-organized, well-equipped, rewards and punishments, and there is also a point, among all the homeless army, he has the most people. After Hong Chengchou entered the customs, he fought several battles with him, and he didn't get much cheap, which shows the strength of Gao Yingxiang's department.

However, in the next battle of Ruyang, basically, Gao Yingxiang gave up the idea of continuing to find Lu Xiangsheng to the death, and it was a battle, Gao Yingxiang's department had more than 200,000 people, and the company camped for 100 miles, while Lu Xiangsheng's department was only more than 10,000 people, as a result, Lu Xiangsheng didn't know where to get a batch of strong crossbows, and directly destroyed the vanguard of his heavy cavalry, which then caused chaos in the army, and Gao Yingxiang's department retreated again. And the next thing is very easy to understand, Lu Xiangsheng beat the water dogs, led the army to cover the killing, and the high troops were defeated.

And then... Then until Lu Xiangsheng received the will of King Qin and returned to Kyoto, he was still fighting Gao Yingxiang, and he was leading an absolutely inferior force and an absolutely superior force. Dozens of battles in a row, killing more than 30,000 Gao Yingxiang's troops, this series of combination punches, even if Gao Yingxiang was not disabled, it was basically a big injury to his vitality, all, Lu Xiangsheng left, Gao Yingxiang was greatly relieved, he even hoped that the emperor Lao'er, who was far away in Beijing, would leave this King Lu Yan in Beijing and give him no matter how big an official he was, as long as he didn't let him toss himself again.

"King Chuang! Let's take a good rest for a while, and seeing that this is about to be the New Year, everyone is looking forward to it? In a large camp that stretches to the edge of the sky, a dark red tent is particularly conspicuous, this is the big tent of the Chinese army of King Chuang, and at this moment, in this big tent, a middle-aged man with a tired face is taking off the felt hat on his head, while talking to a big man with a scorched yellow face next to the fire.

"They all think so?" The big man took an iron tong and flicked the red-hot charcoal fire in the stove in front of him: "Or is it only the new army that thinks so?" ”

"I have sent someone to touch the bottom, this King Lu Yan can beat our morale badly, it is not strange that the new army thinks like this, but the brothers of our old camp also think so, I am afraid that if I am not easy to soothe, there will be chaos!" Taking off his felt hat, the face of the man who spoke was revealed, and under the light of the fire, it was a little flushed. He is Li Zicheng, the eighth team leader Li Zicheng, and the man with a scorched yellow face who talks to him is the world-famous King Gao Yingxiang.

"Take a break, I agree, but, for the New Year, I'm afraid I'm a little afraid to think about it, rest for a few days, I'll take someone to get this account back!" Gao Yingxiang lowered his eyes and said slowly, as if he was going to the neighbor's house to borrow some sauce and vinegar.

Gao Yingxiang said that the debt is of course referring to the account that Lu Xiangsheng has been chasing him for more than half a year, if according to his statement that he compared this knife to a transaction, this transaction, he has lost his money very much, if he doesn't find some subsidies elsewhere to come back, I'm afraid he really hasn't even thought about this year.

"King Chuang!" Li Zicheng stretched out his frozen hands to roast them on the fire, and asked quite calmly, "Where are you going?" ”

"And the state!" Two words came out of his mouth.

Li Zicheng had an almost complete map of the Ming Dynasty in his mind, and when he heard these two words, he immediately searched for the location of this and the state in his mind, and soon, he made a more unexpected discovery.

"And then Chuzhou?"

"Hmm!" Gao Yingxiang's eyes flashed, "If possible, I want to touch Nanjing!" ”

I have to say that this idea is too rebellious, with Li Zicheng's boldness, I can't help but gasp slightly, Nanjing, didn't the Ming Dynasty take Nanjing to determine the world? In addition to the new defeat, is it a little cautious to make such a plan? Not to mention that the current military spirit is unstable and the military strength is insufficient, even if there are no two deficiencies, as soon as the situation of attacking Nanjing comes out, it will inevitably affect the whole body, that is, it may not be a King Lu Yan in the back, I am afraid that the generals of the Ming Dynasty are like being stabbed in a hornet's nest, and they all come up one by one.

"King Chuang, but now the army's morale is unstable, and, in addition to the old battalion, those new troops, I'm afraid that they will not be so easy to use!

"I have contacted Zhang Xianzhong, Lao Huihui, and Drill Dragon, and Breaking the Sky, and everyone supports my opinion!" King Chuang showed a smile on his face: "Since everyone is seeking wealth and nobility, naturally everyone has to contribute, fortunately, everyone still believes in my golden signboard, and it is rest assured to hand over people to me, our people, don't have to do their best, I just take the old camp away, you stay here, don't follow me to Hezhou!" ”

"Well, I won't take away the people I originally allocated to you, you are the person I rely on the most, I'm not here, how can I do without the capital to take care of the house, although the old camp has been damaged a little, but it has not yet reached the point of breaking the bones, but those new troops, you have to go out to fight a dozen, practice your skills, fight a few battles, and those who can survive are the old soldiers!"

A major event that shocked the world was decided in the process of the two chatting, as King Chuang's henchman, Gao Yingxiang's most powerful subordinate, Li Zicheng was absolutely convinced of Gao Yingxiang's military talent. The reason why King Chuang is called King Chuang is because he dares to break in, and the consequences of every break seem to be good, but this time, he is bound to touch his head and bleed. Li Zicheng naturally didn't know that this simple chatter turned out to be the last time he and this father and brother King Chuang, and Nanjing, that glorious end, has also become a goal that Gao Yingxiang will never reach in his life.

At the beginning of November, Gao Yingxiang led his troops to attack Luzhou, but failed and fled. At the same time, Zhang Xianzhong set out from Henan, and some other leaders of the exile army with a little strength also began to move, gradually moving closer to Gao Yingxiang's department, and a huge army of nearly 300,000 people gradually took shape near Nanjing.

In mid-November, Gao Yingxiang's army attacked Hezhou, the Ming army was defeated, the governor of Hezhou was martyred, the general Jiang Nanqiang was killed, and Hezhou fell into the hands of Gao Yingxiang's army.

Two days later, Gao Yingxiang's army took advantage of the momentum of victory and pointed at Jiangpu.

Jiangpu is only a few dozen kilometers away from Nanjing, and if Jiangpu is lost, Gao Yingxiang's army can start from Jiangpu, arrive in the morning and evening, and go straight to Nanjing.

Nanjing shocked! The court was shocked! The world is shocked!

There was a panic in the city of Nanjing, and the Nanjing garrison, the town guard, and the secretary of the Nanjing military department rushed to the imperial court for 800 miles, while doing their best to mobilize troops from all over the south of the Yangtze River to rush to the aid of Jiangpu. On the wide street, you can always see a knight on a fast horse, hurrying past with a whip, and the prosperity of the street has faded a lot, if people stand in the middle of the street, the cold wind blows, and when you raise your eyes, it is all bleak.

There are not a few wealthy families in the city, and many well-informed rich families have already packed up their families and left Nanjing, leaving the huge mansion with only a few old servants guarding the empty house. And the ill-informed rich family, if they want to leave at this moment, it is too late, the city gate has been closed, there is no handwritten letter from the three garrisons of Nanjing, except for the urgent report in the army, no one can easily leave Nanjing.

Since they can't get out of the city, the only response they can make is to start buying and hoarding food, salt and other necessary daily necessities, the price of rice and salt in the city, that is, three times a day, for this matter, there have been several illegal traders because of hoarding, the head of the street was cut off.

Of course, in addition to these panicked people, there is also a group of people in Nanjing, a group of calm and calm people, although this group of people is noble, but in the bones of this group of people, the warlike factor has never been consumed by the rich life, this group of people is in addition to those Qingliu scholars, another pillar of the Ming Dynasty - Xungui!
