In the snow, the mighty army is heading south, and the banner of the word "Lu" is so eye-catching.

At this time, it was the first month of the twentieth year of Wuxing, and just after the New Year, Lu Xiangsheng received an order to lead the army to Zhejiang to quell the rebellion.

The emperor couldn't wait for a moment.

Zuo Liangyu's defeat made the world look sideways, and it told everyone that this thief was not as simple as they imagined.

At least the average rogue, but they don't have this ability.

Emperor Wuxing had no choice but to finally decide to dispatch his trump card.

In addition, Wang Er was already dying, so after leaving more than 30,000 people to continue to attack Nanyang, Lu Xiangsheng led the main Ming army with a total of 80,000 south.

At this time, he was riding on a horse, and his eyes were a little complicated.

Not long ago, he was still lamenting the impermanence of the world, but he didn't expect to face the war with the Yan family so soon.

He has always prided himself on being a Confucian general, and he has taken Yan Ling in the early Ming Dynasty as his idol, and his children and grandchildren have a faint halo in Lu Xiangsheng's eyes.

In addition, Yan Chenhao, who was praised by the world not long ago, is a great plus.

So in fact, he was reluctant to fight against it.

But what the other party did went against the patriotic ideas of loyalty and patriotism that he adhered to in his heart.

Wherever the army passed, groups of homeless people passed by the roadside, and as they walked, people often suddenly fell to the ground and could not get up again.

This winter, I don't know how many people will disappear from this world.

And these dead people were carried by the hungry people on the side.

When life is threatened, the bottom line of morality becomes empty talk.

Lu Xiangsheng raised his hand, he wanted to order his sergeant to distribute some bedding and food, but then there was a sigh.

When Jiangnan was in turmoil, it was the time to pay taxes, and without the support of the rich Jiangnan, the imperial court's treasury was even more constrained at this time.

Where did he get the extra supplies to support the displaced people?

But he can't blame it on Yan Yinghui and others.

The homeless people were not born because of them, even if they didn't get into trouble, the imperial court would not spend money to help them, and even at least the Yan family took in a lot of homeless people, giving them the possibility of surviving.

He put down his hand helplessly, and then asked:

"Send these displaced people to nearby prefectures and counties, and ask local officials to do their best to help."

As the governor of the three provinces, the local officials would not disobey his orders. It's just that all the prefectures and counties are actually having a hard time now, so he only uses "try his best".

I really can't do it, and I can only ......

He sighed.

The exiles did not know this, but when the sergeants came to them and conveyed Lu Xiangsheng's order, their eyes lit up with life, and someone shouted in a weak voice: "Thank you for the great grace of the commander." ”

Slowly, the number of shouters gradually increased, but they did not delay too much, and after expressing their gratitude, they quickly followed the sergeants away.

Listening to the sound of praise in his ears, Lu Xiangsheng exhaled a mouthful of turbid breath in his chest.

As if he had figured something out, his eyes gradually became firm.

"I will definitely create a peaceful and prosperous world where everyone will live in peace and will not be frozen and starved to death!"

"Conquer the south and fight in the north, pacify the world...... This may not be the root cause of this troubled world, but it is the simplest solution! ”

"Do whatever it takes...... Even if it's your children and grandchildren! ”

……

Yan Ling was on the dock of Ningbo Mansion and received information from Yinlong, Lu Xiangsheng led his army from Huguang to Nanzhi, and began to mobilize people from all walks of life to prepare for the war.

And its edge refers to the city of Nanjing.

This is the benefit of Da Ming's companion in his hands.

The political significance and influence of this ancient city are too great, and it is the first target that must be recaptured, and the main direction of the Ming army must be it.

As for the exposure to the imperial court and being targeted by the loss of Nanjing, it seems somewhat insignificant in comparison. Because of the important fiscal and taxation areas in Jiangnan, this incident will definitely attract the special attention of the imperial court, and it is impossible to ignore it.

In fact, these days, not only the emperor, but also many courtiers are already putting pressure on Lu Xiangsheng, and even the first assistant Zhou Yanru sent someone to the camp of the superintendent and told him that "there are a large number of court officials, lords and ordinary people in the capital, and I hope that they can be recovered as soon as possible, so that they will no longer suffer from rebellion and oppression."

He also had several well-connected officials in Nanjing, and his hometown was also in Nanzhi.

If he is not careful, he will not be able to go back, of course, I hope that Lu Xiangsheng will quell the rebellion quickly, at least to resolve the crisis in Nanzhili first.

So in desperation, even though Lu Xiangsheng knew that the best way should be to hit their base camp, he was still forced to put the main direction of attack on Nanjing City.

However, although it was expected, the pressure on the family in Nanzhili was still very great, after all, the 80,000 Ming army did not seem to be as many as the hundreds of thousands during the previous expedition to Liuwei, but in fact, there were almost no weak guards in it, all of them were veterans who were good at fighting, and there were more than 10,000 Liao cavalry among them.

In the previous battle, in order to ensure a quick victory to recapture Luoyang, the imperial court transferred nearly 10,000 Li Jialiao cavalry, who was guarding Liaodong, to the south, that is, this army, which beat Gao Yingxiang, who joined forces with Wang Er, screamed, and was forced to flow again, and also beat Wang Er's "double-armored iron cavalry" elite to scrap, and the combat power should not be underestimated.

So Yan Ling also called out his "summoned beast".

On the dock in front of him, huge ships were docking.

A well-armed, sturdy soldier stepped down from it, and a middle-aged man dressed in a senior officer's uniform walked briskly towards him.

In front of Yan Ling, he "snapped" and stood upright and gave a military salute:

"The commander of the Seventh Army of the Luzon Army, Qu Yuanju, has seen Mr. There are more than 30,000 people in our department, and all of them have arrived! ”

The Luzon Governor's Mansion had actually announced its relationship with the mainland family at this time, after all, it was impossible and unnecessary to cover it up in the future, and Qu Yuanju naturally knew about it.

And this famous "gentleman", he has also heard of it. In his opinion, this is a figure similar to the "prime minister", and even Yan Yinghui, the nominal supreme ruler and head of the family, is respectful to him, and can even be said to be obedient.

Naturally, he didn't dare to slack off.

"Hmm."

Yan Ling nodded lightly:

"After a quick rectification, you will lead the troops north to support Nanjing, in order to ensure speed, you can do without heavy artillery first."

"Your opponent is Lu Xiangsheng, the great general of the Ming Court, you must pay attention, I will have someone send you his information."

"Yes."

Qu Yuanju replied loudly, his eyes full of warlike intent.

He didn't know who Lu Xiangsheng was, but the Luzon army had never been defeated in the past few decades.

He won't lose either.
