Start a Ming Dynasty plane

Chapter 580 Dedicated to Yang Sichang?
Hubei, Yang Sichang Camp.

"Cough cough..."

A burst of violent coughing came from Yang Sichang's tent. At this time, Yang Sichang covered his mouth and coughed non-stop in front of the desk in the tent. He had only been in Hubei for a few months, and Yang Sichang's hair was half gray, and his body It's getting worse too.

Originally, Yang Sichang was old, and he had to fight Zhang Xianzhong every day when he arrived in Hubei. In addition, the humidity in Hubei was very heavy, which was very different from BJ.

I don't know if it's moisture entering the body, or what. Yang Sichang has been coughing for half a month, and it's getting worse now. When it was the worst, Yang Sichang couldn't sleep well at night.

At this time, Yang Sichang was reading the imperial edict issued to him by the imperial court, while his marching staff officer and his general He Renlong were sitting beside him.

At this time Yang Sichang finished reading the imperial decree and coughed louder.

Immediately afterwards, he handed the imperial decree to the staff and said, "Read it to all the generals, ahem..."

When the marching staff heard the words, they immediately read the contents of the imperial decree.

The general content is that Li Zicheng flooded the Kaifeng mansion, and now he is about to enter Luoyang. The situation is extremely critical, and Yang Sichang was immediately ordered to lead all the troops from the headquarters into Henan to destroy Li Zicheng.

"As the generals of the country, we should protect the country and the people, and guard the safety of His Majesty. Zhang Xianzhong and his ilk, scabies, Li Zicheng is the confidant of Ming Dynasty, and I dare say that Zhang Xianzhong dare not stay in Hubei for a long time. Has been valued by Lantian.

In fact, I really don't want to admit it, but as long as Lan Tian valued something, no one can keep it, I can't do it, and Zhang Xianzhong can't do it, so I conclude that Zhang Xianzhong will definitely go west to Shuzhong. "

"Cough cough..."

Hearing this, Sun Kewang laughed and said, "The adoptive father seems to have made up his mind, so I'll come here to guess about the son."

Liu Wenxiu said: "Yes, but if we didn't hold Yang Sichang here, he, Li Zicheng, wouldn't be able to handle Kaifeng so easily. In my opinion, our foster father is the best."

He Renlong looked resigned, and Yang Sichang said: "He Renlong, get up, actually I know what you are thinking, to be honest, I don't want to do anything about this matter, but I can't do it if I am unwilling." Why, trespassers are very powerful and occupy the Central Plains, which is a serious problem for the confidant. Zhang Xianzhong lives in Hubei and plans to plot in Sichuan, but he is in a corner. Can you tell which is more important? Cough cough cough..."

"It's expected to come."

He Renlong responded immediately, followed by Yang Sichang and said: "Tang Tong!"

"Okay, with the words of the generals, I feel relieved, cough cough cough ... the generals go to rest, and leave tomorrow."

Yang Sichang said, and immediately said to the staff: "Go and get the map of Henan."

"Master, don't worry, as long as I'm here, Henan will never fall."

At this time, a general came out and knelt on the ground. Yang Sichang said: "You lead the Chinese army of 3 people, follow closely behind, support He Renlong, and help He Renlong defend Xuzhou. Xuzhou is here, and you are the second meritorious service." .”

"The end is here!"

"promise."

"Yes, Master Supervisor."

As he spoke, he unfolded the handkerchief in his hand, and there was a trace of blood on the handkerchief. Yang Sichang looked at it and didn't say much. At this time, Yang Sichang glanced at everyone and said: "Everyone, we have been working here for a few months, and we can do it in these few months." It is said that we did our best for Ming Dynasty and made Zhang Xianzhong dare not see the sun like a mouse, this is all thanks to you, and I will report it to His Majesty."

"Because of this, the imperial court must find a way to suppress the rebellion, which is very interesting. Now the entire Ming Dynasty can mobilize not many military forces, and facing an enemy like Li Zicheng, the imperial court sent general soldiers to deliver food. , So after thinking about it, there are not many people in the whole Ming Dynasty who can break arms with Li Zicheng, just Hong Chengchou in Liaodong, Sun Chuanting in Xuanfu, Zuo Liangyu in Tongguan, and Yang Sichang in Hubei."

For this, Yang Sichang worked hard without any complaints, even if he was ill, he did not tell Chongzhen that he was ill and could not do anything.

"Finally, Master Ben cough cough... personally lead the rear army, go to Henan to join Liu Zeqing, and together eliminate the intruders and protect the safety of Daming."

"The end is here!"

"Good guy, Kaifeng was flooded, and 40 troops were gathered overnight, and Li Hongji is the one who knows how to play!"

The staff immediately went to get the map, but He Renlong looked at Yang Sichang and said, "Master Yang, is it not appropriate to go to Henan in such a hurry?"

But when Lu Xiangsheng died, the power was monopolized by him, and he immediately showed his capable side. He was dedicated to doing things, and because of his dedication, Chongzhen also looked at him differently, so he immediately became the captain of the firefighting team , also began to do Lu Xiangsheng's work, wherever there is something, there is Yang Sichang.

"He Renlong, I ordered 3000 people from your department to be the vanguard army. They will set off immediately tomorrow morning and rush to Xuzhou. Along the way, you can use my governor's warrant to recruit ships and horses passing by the prefectures and counties for your use. Go straight Xuzhou, you must protect Xuzhou from the thieves, if you succeed, I will personally declare your contribution to His Majesty, and you will be the first in this battle."

Zhang Xianzhong looked at Sun Kewang and said, Sun Kewang said at this time: "Father, let's talk about Hong Chengchou first, he can first rule out that Liaodong is the lifeblood of the imperial court. If there is a mistake in Liaodong, then Ming Dynasty will be overthrown in an instant. No matter how stupid Chongzhen is, he will not gamble with us. of."

"Military meeting, what do you want the doctor to do?"

He Renlong immediately knelt down on one knee with fists folded, Yang Sichang said: "The Ni department is the elite of our army, so I will hand over the final burden to you, He Renlong obeys orders."

"Yes!"

After finishing speaking, Yang Sichang took the map and spread it on the table: "Look at the map, now Kaifeng is overwhelmed by Li Zicheng, and their next target is Luoyang. If they want to attack Luoyang, they must first attack Xuzhou. Xuzhou is the first line of defense in the entire Henan battlefield. , is also the most important line of defense. We must enter Xuzhou before the thieves attack Xuzhou, and arrive at the last time when the thieves attack. If Xuzhou is not lost, Luoyang will have a barrier, so we can sit back and relax .”

"But everyone, we can no longer stay in Hubei. The situation in Henan is more serious than here. Now that Kaifeng is flooded, the next one is Luoyang. If something happens in Luoyang, the whole of Henan will fall. If Henan falls, AH Shanxi, Hebei, and Shandong are all under the radiation of the intruders, if the intruders go all the way north and approach the capital, the Ming Dynasty will be in danger."

After seeing the information, Zhang Xianzhong couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Seeing what his two older brothers said, Ai Nengqi blinked his eyes, he was a little confused, his adoptive father was very powerful, but compared with Li Zicheng's big hand, he seemed petty, from which he could see that his adoptive father Better than Li Zicheng?

Seeing He Renlong's appearance, Yang Sichang said, "He Renlong, do you dare to question His Majesty's edict?"

"And there is Mrs. Qin sitting in the town of Shuzhong. Mrs. Qin is a famous general of the generation. She won't get much benefit from Zhang Xianzhong in Shuzhong. But as long as we go to Henan, without Li Zicheng, we may return to Shuzhong. To be able to destroy Zhang thief together with Mrs. Qin, cough cough cough... So I decided to set off immediately tomorrow and head to Henan to fight the trespassers, cough cough cough..."

"If Xuzhou is gone, the Bandit Peak can go straight to Luoyang. At that time, Luoyang will face the bandit head-on, and the outcome will be dangerous, so this matter cannot be careless or sloppy. Our soldiers are extremely fast, cough cough cough ...Must be the first, cough cough... rush to Xuzhou, defend Xuzhou!"

After hearing the imperial decree, He Renlong's eyes widened and he looked at Yang Sichang and said, "Master Yang, what is the court's intention? Now we are at a stalemate with Zhang Xianzhong. If we withdraw from Hubei, that Zhang Xianzhong will be killed." Just make it bigger, don't let the chaos of Li Zicheng be settled, but Zhang Xianzhong will be fattened up."

Yang Sichang looked at the map and said, He Renlong and other generals frowned slightly after hearing this. This task is a bit difficult. Yang Sichang took a breath at this moment, then pointed to the map and said: "Hubei is a bit far from Xuzhou, but it's not too far away." far, He Renlong."

Yang Sichang looked at the generals and officers coughed, and then said in a steady and deep voice: "Generals, this battle is the battle of the fate of the Ming Dynasty. If you win, you will be promoted to rank, and your name will go down in history. If you lose, you will be honored." Daming's sinners will be reviled forever, and at that time, this governor will also be nailed to the pillar of shame and be reviled by future generations, so everyone, for the sake of Daming, please."

After Yang Sichang received Chongzhen's order, he immediately ordered the whole army to go to Henan to relieve the siege of Henan. Emperor Chongzhen had a very bad habit, that is, he used people to death, and Lu Xiangsheng was easy to use, so he took Lu Xiangsheng as the firefighting captain. If something happened, Lu Xiangsheng would be sent there, and when Lu Xiangsheng died, the position of the firefighting captain fell directly on Yang Sichang.

"promise!"

From this point of view, this person really has many faces. Yang Sichang is like this. You say he is a traitor, which is a bit too much. Already, I don’t know.

So even if Yang Sichang didn't want to, he still had to obey the imperial decree and go to Henan to suppress the rebellion. Moreover, Yang Sichang thought very well, Zhang Xianzhong would not stay in Hubei. Now Hubei has already stationed soldiers in Lantian from Tongqianguan to Kuimen Niutoushan. That is to say, Lantian intends to enter Hubei now, and Yang Sichang feels that Zhang Xianzhong dare not touch the things that Lantian is interested in.

Moreover, Yang Sichang knew Zhang Xianzhong's strategic intentions too well. This guy wanted to occupy the middle of Shu, close the roads of Shu, form his own faction, and become the king of the middle of Shu. I don't know if it was because he was influenced by Liu Bei after reading the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

Speaking of Yang Sichang coughing loudly, the staff officer on the side quickly said: "My lord, are you all right?"

Ai Nengqi looked at his two brothers stupidly, Sun Kewang and Liu Wenxiu glared at Ai Nengqi together, this idiot didn't look very smart.

Yang Sichang's motives immediately alarmed Zhang Xianzhong who was lying on his stomach in the ravine. When Zhang Xianzhong knew that his good brother Li Zicheng played a game as big as a ticket in Henan, his eyes popped out.

"Xu Zhou is here, He Renlong is here, Xu Zhou is not here, He Renlong is dead."

Anyway, Yang Sichang is such a person, a living and powerful official in the late Ming Dynasty.

"Yes, Master Supervisor, don't worry, as long as I'm here, the Supervisor will never be humiliated."

"promise!"

He Renlong was impatient, so he directly yelled out his own thoughts. Yang Sichang couldn't help coughing violently after hearing this, didn't he know the situation?No, he knows what's going on now, but what can he do, Zhang Xianzhong couldn't get rid of it in his eagerness, this kid played hide and seek for himself, and it's hard to catch him by himself.

He Renlong immediately knelt down and said, "Master Supervisor, the last general dare not, but..."

"As for these people, hehe, there are not many who can be easily mobilized. Tell me, who will the court send to counter the rebellion in the end?"

Yang Sichang stretched out his hand and said, "It doesn't matter."

Zhang Xianzhong is quite self-aware, and after listening to his two godsons, he said: "Okay, don't flatter me. In this matter, I have to admit that Li Zicheng's structure is far superior to mine, but this is a matter Good thing, Li Zicheng has accomplished something in Henan, so he is a huge threat to Daming. Now it is not just me, a rebel, who is in front of Daming. Far inferior to Li Zicheng."

But can Li Zicheng ignore it?Regardless of whether it is absolutely impossible, Li Zicheng flooded the Kaifeng mansion, directly gathered more than [-] rogues, so many soldiers and horses, and they were still in the hinterland of the Central Plains. If Li Zicheng sent troops to the north, broke through Shandong, stepped into Hebei, and approached the capital, it would be over. Well, even if he wiped out Zhang Xianzhong in Hubei, but his house was stolen by Li Zicheng, that would be a dead end.

As for Yang Sichang, he has no tolerance for others. When he was fighting with Lu Xiangsheng, he made all kinds of tricks. He was even more treacherous than a treacherous minister.

Yang Sichang heard the words and said: "There is no rush, Li Zicheng won't give us time."

Yang Sichang continued to cough as he spoke, and the staff officer at the side said: "My lord, do you want to invite the doctor?"

Hearing Zhang Xianzhong's emotion, Sun Kewang on the side also praised: "Li Zicheng is indeed a big man who can be as famous as his adoptive father. He really has courage in doing things, which is worthy of admiration."

Zhang Xianzhong nodded slightly.

"Sun Chuanting took Lu Xiangsheng's position. He defended not only Liaodong, but also the Mongolian Tartars on the grassland. His position is even more important. Don't move lightly, otherwise the border will be unstable."

"As for the rest, there are Zuo Liangyu who guards Lantian and Yang Sichang who looks after his adoptive father. Although these two people are very important, Chongzhen must be very entangled in choosing. No matter who he chooses, it will be Daming's loss. , but in the end I think Chongzhen will definitely choose Hubei Yang Sichang, because in Chongzhen's mind, the most terrifying enemy of Ming Dynasty is actually Li Chaosheng in Lantian, and the others are nothing more than liukouer, which can't hurt his national foundation."

Sun Kewang's analysis was straightforward, Zhang Xianzhong nodded and laughed and said, "That's right, I think the old Chongzhen will also choose Yang Sichang, and once Yang Sichang leaves, we can go to Sichuan with all our strength, hahaha..."
