Start a Ming Dynasty plane

Chapter 299 Invite Lu Xiangsheng to form a group

Luo Heita, a character like Wei Yan, has rebellious bones in the back of his head, but in front of Li Chaosheng, he is like a dragon who wants to coil up, or a tiger who wants to lie down. As long as he is under Li Chaosheng's nose, he is the most loyal old dog , will complete the task assigned by Li Chaosheng excellently, and is more qualified than others.

Li Chaosheng likes such a character very much. Whether it is a black cat or a white cat, it is a good cat that can catch mice. No matter how unruly he is outside, as long as he can wag his tail and do things in front of Li Chaosheng, then Li Chaosheng Chaosheng will reuse him. Of course, if Li Chaosheng is going to die, and his lifespan is longer than Li Chaosheng, then I'm sorry, but he can only be killed.

Just like Lan Yu, the general of the Ming Dynasty, of course not only Lan Yu, but also many heroes who were killed by Zhu Yuanzhang in the later period. If Zhu Yuanzhang was not about to die, or even Zhu Biao was still alive, these ministers would not die. As a result, Zhu Biao Prince Yiwen is dead, and Zhu Yuanzhang is also going to die, so the group of ministers Zhu Yuanzhang trained for Zhu Biao can only be killed, and Zhu Yunqi can't control these characters.

There is no way, this is actually the ability of the ruler, the ruler is strong, and some arrogant soldiers can use it. For example, Luo Heita is the best knife in the hands of Li Chaosheng.

If the ruler is not strong enough to suppress the arrogant soldiers, the previous ruler must find a way to get rid of them and pave the way for the future kings, just like Zhuge Liang killed Wei Yan for Liu Chan, and Zhu Yuanzhang killed Sapphire for Zhu Yunqi.

And after killing these capable ministers and strong generals, another problem emerged, that is, the imperial court is weak and there are no capable people available, so there is no way to do it. There is no way to think about this situation, so we can only take one step at a time.

After all, not everyone will be like Zhu Yunxuan. If Zhu Yunxuan is not fooled by the clever Wolongfengchu, Qitai, Huang Zicheng, and Fang Xiaoru, he will probably be a conservative king if he takes his time. Later, the country can still cultivate a few capable ministers and generals, and at most it will be the Ming Dynasty version of the Seven Kings' Rebellion. It may be that Zhu Di's rebellion will not be possible.

So, this monarch is very important. He wants to change the world even if he doesn't have a firm position. This is brain damage. The fundamentals are not stable. How can we talk about calming the world?
Li Chaosheng was sitting on the seat, and Luo Heita was eloquently introducing his experience in this battle.

"Commander, we admit the combat effectiveness of the Tartars. Without the support of artillery and muskets, they still showed strong combat effectiveness. In today's encirclement situation in the city, if Gao Yingxiang and Li Zicheng's peasant uprising army , When the cannon fired, it is estimated that the army has been defeated."

"Even if the frontier army led by Hong Chengchou and the others persisted for at most a stick of incense, the Tartars actually persisted for an hour. Under our full-scale attack of muskets, the people around them fell one by one, and the Tartars still persisted. Not afraid of death, they still dare to charge towards our position, although they really don't want to admit it, but the combat power of these bastards is definitely several times that of the Ming army, and the fighting will is not comparable to the Ming army."

Hearing this, Li Chaosheng nodded. He has seen the situation today. The Tartars are indeed brave and fearless. After being surrounded by their own people, they still charge with slogans. That is simply a suicide charge. Very impressed.

At this time, Luo Heita said: "In addition, they are really good at riding and shooting. With so many guns, they can still bend their bows and set arrows, and they can even make beautiful offensive postures on horseback. These postures, our cavalry It’s not necessarily possible.”

Luo Heita said here, paused and said: "It is because of their tenacious resistance that we have suffered heavy casualties, and we are still in a situation of overall superiority. The red-clothed cannons are pulled over, and when their own firearms team arrives, our advantage will not be so obvious, and by then, it will definitely be a difficult battle."

After hearing this, Li Chaosheng nodded, and the rest of the people fell into deep thought. Li Chaosheng said at this time: "We need to admit that the fighting power of the Manchu Tartars is very strong, stronger than most of our Ming army. So we are going to face a very serious battle, and I hope each of you is ready."

"However, you don't have to worry too much. Our army still has an advantage. Whether it is weapons or fighting will, we are superior to the Tartars. We annihilated the opponent's [-] soldiers and horses, and we killed more than [-] people. With a ratio of thirty to one, we can see that our combat power is far from what the Ming army can match, so the next battle may be very difficult, but please work hard, defend your home and country, and guard Lantian."

After hearing this, everyone saluted: "Yes."

Li Chaosheng nodded, and followed everyone to report the seizure. For example, although many horses were killed on the battlefield, there were not a few horses that could still be used. According to Li Chaohu's report, they captured a total of 300 usable horses this time. There are more than 600 horses that cannot be used, such as some leg injuries, but more than [-] horses are alive.

Li Chaosheng gave instructions on this, and the living horses were divided into two parts and handed over to Li Chaohu's division and Shi Dalei's division commander, and let them form a division directly under the cavalry battalion. The two division commanders approached Li Chaosheng several times for this matter.

Especially Li Chaohu, who was born in the cavalry himself, has a mysterious love for the cavalry battalion. Later, Li Chaosheng separated Wang Guixiang alone, and Li Chaohu was very unhappy. But now he has the opportunity, Li Chaohu still hopes to re-establish the cavalry battalion, so that his This division will be more mobile.

Shi Dalei was also very concerned about this, and approached Li Chaosheng several times, so taking this opportunity, Li Chaosheng fulfilled their desire to form a division directly under the cavalry battalion.

In addition, for the injured horses, Li Chaosheng is going to send them to the transport team. Although these horses are injured, their legs and feet are not good, and they can't run as fast as before, but these horses themselves have a good horse foundation. .

There is a lack of good horses in Lantian. This is a consensus. Such horses cannot be wasted, and there are many mares among these injured horses. Mares are precious, and they can breed offspring when they are raised well. Horses born from war horses should be trained well , there is a high probability that they can still be used as war horses, so these [-] horses are also a considerable fortune.

The last thing is the dead war horse, this can’t be wasted, pull it back, make it into horse meat jerky, it can be used as rations for soldiers, or it can be sold directly, although horse meat is not very delicious, but you only need to find a reliable cook Carefully cooked, fed with special spices for marinating, it will not be unpalatable. Li Chaosheng has eaten it similar to beef jerky.

In addition to horses, there are weapons, all kinds of waist knives, and more than 3000 sets of bows and arrows. These were taken back, and Li Chaosheng planned to directly arm the militia.

In addition, there is luggage, rations for 3000 people for ten days, although not much, but it is enough for everyone to eat, and there is also a guard of honor, with a letter and the banner of Prince Shuorui on one side.

Prince He Shuorui Li Chaosheng still knows, isn't it Dorgon?
Dorgon got the Jade Seal of Chuanguo from Lin Danhan and handed it over to Huang Taiji, and then a group of people persuaded Huang Taiji to proclaim himself emperor, so Huang Taiji proclaimed himself emperor, and named Dorgon who made the most contribution He Shuorui Prince.

For these ceremonial guards, Li Chaosheng had no use, so he said to burn them, but Li Chaohu, who knew how to live, said: "It's a pity, the cloth used for that big flag is very good, and the water absorption is also good. It is useless to wipe your feet."

Hearing this, Li Chaosheng took a glance at Li Chaohu and agreed. Li Chaohu used the flag to go back and wipe his feet, but Shi Dalei also wanted it, and the other brigade commanders were also very envious, so Li Chaosheng waved his hand and asked them to distribute it privately.

Finally, there was the Tartar corpse. Li Chaosheng ordered everyone to collect all the corpses and cremate them. Don’t leave them on the grassland.

When everything was settled properly, Li Chaosheng frowned and said: "Okay, leave the rest of the matter to Wang Jiayao, the lord of Guihua City, and the others. I haven't slept all day, and I have a severe headache, so I'll go to bed first. You guys should also take a rest early." Bar."

After Li Chaosheng said this, Li Chaohu and the others clasped their fists in a very sensible way: "Then, Commander, let's take our leave."

Li Chaosheng waved his hand, at this moment Wang Guixiang suddenly thought of something, patted his head and said: "Ah, look at my head, Commander, I have something important to report to you."

After hearing this, Li Chaosheng looked at Wang Guixiang and asked, "What's the matter?"

Wang Guixiang said: "During the battle just now, we captured seven or eight of Lu Xiangsheng's scouts, and they are still locked up in the barracks. I want to ask them what to do with them?"

Hearing this, Li Chaosheng frowned, and Lu Xiangsheng's soldier, Li Chaosheng frowned, at this moment Li Chaohu said: "What is there to ask, kill it, we can't let Emperor Ming know now, otherwise the You narrow-minded guy, maybe you're going to mess with something."

Hearing this, Shi Dalei frowned and said: "I've heard people say that Lu Xiangsheng is an official, he's a good person, he's a man of affairs, his people are just killed like this, isn't it..."

Shi Dalei didn't say anything further, but the meaning was obvious, it's nothing for us Daming people to kill Daming people.

"Why don't you kill it, keep it closed? What if one accidentally runs away?"

Li Chaohu said.

Shi Dalei also frowned, it was difficult to deal with, logically, they would be reluctant to kill Daming's own border guards, but if they didn't kill them, they would not be easy to deal with, it was really a piece of shit.

At this time, everyone looked at Li Chaosheng, and Li Chaosheng put down his hands at this moment and said, "Lu Xiangsheng, he is a character. He is the governor of the Xuanfu now, right?"

Gu Zi said at this time: "Yes."

Li Chaosheng nodded and said, "Let them go. By the way, let them send a message to Lu Xiangsheng. Just say that Li Chaosheng, the magistrate of Lantian County, invited him to hunt the fort and attack the Tartars. Ask him if he is interested."

After hearing this, everyone was shocked and said, "Commander, this?"

Li Chaosheng waved his hand and said: "It's not okay to hide it. If there is such a big commotion in Guihua City, as long as the court is not blind, it will be clear sooner or later, especially if we are surrounded by human spirits. Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of the government, and Sun Chuanting, the governor of Shaanxi, none of these three guys are easy to deal with, and they will know what we do sooner or later."

"Since you need to know sooner or later, why don't you be more honest. Now I invite Lu Xiangsheng to come and hunt the tartars. If he doesn't come, it shows that he is timid and will be overwhelmed by our momentum. As long as we don't hide it, they will They will be jealous of us, especially when the scouts tell Lu Xiangsheng and others about our strength, they will be even more afraid to think about us."

"In this way, we will save our energy, so as not to have to compete with Lu Xiangsheng's generation."

When Li Chaosheng said this, Li Chaohu said: "What if he agrees?"

"It's even better if we promise. Not only do we have one more reinforcement, it can make the next war more calm and increase the odds of winning, and after the war is won, we can also ask Lu Xiangsheng to help us take the blame. What a scumbag, this is a great credit, just give him to Lu Xiangsheng, let this Lu Gongsheng be promoted, help this Ming Dynasty carry on for a few more years, and give us a little time to develop."

After hearing this, everyone nodded, killing the Tartars, you can get the city of Guihua, and the head of the Tartars itself is useless to you, it is a waste, now give this to Lu Xiangsheng, that is the credit of the sky, such a big Favors, he, Lu Xiangsheng, still has to owe himself a huge favor?
This is the maximization of benefits, thinking that everyone nodded in agreement with Li Chaosheng's opinion.

But at this moment, Gu Zi said: "Commander, do you think Lu Xiangsheng will not report our existence to the imperial court?"

After hearing this, Li Chaosheng glanced at Guzi and smiled, "If Lu Xiangsheng didn't know our strength, he would report it if he was not sure, but after knowing our real strength, he would definitely not report it!"

"Why?"

Gu Zi asked puzzledly, and Li Chaosheng asked back with a smile, "Hong Chengchou, why didn't Sun Chuanting sue us?"

After hearing this, Gu Zi scratched his head and said, "I don't know?"

Li Chaosheng looked at the others, and at this moment Shi Dalei said: "The commander told me that we are now powerful, our troops are strong and our horses are strong, while the Ming Dynasty is corrupt and cannot bear the weight of the hammer. Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting are all capable ministers of the country, and they can see the changes in the situation. Well, if they go to the imperial court, the suspicious emperor twitches his head and wants to destroy us, which will probably deal the heaviest blow to the empire. By then, Ming may really come to an end. They are afraid that they will turn us against us. , so they will help us conceal it."

After hearing this, Li Chaosheng nodded and said: "That's right, the emperor in our court is unpopular, and he always likes to make some stupid tricks, which makes the ministers tremble with fear. Some things have to be kept from the emperor, and we The emperor also abolished the Dongchang Jinyiwei, which is interesting. If the ministers do not report, the Jinyiwei and the Dongchang are gone, and the emperor becomes deaf and blind. He can only know what the ministers want him to know. Not sad."

Li Chaosheng sighed.
