Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 839: It’s better not to have this canal transport!!

Southern Zhili.

Suqian.

The rain was falling silently, the wind was strong, and the sky was gloomy.

The temporary station of Emperor Mingzong’s army.

"Brother, the wind is strong, you should go back to the camp." Lu Xiangheng walked out of the tent holding an umbrella in his hand, looking at Lu Xiangsheng's back with a worried look on his face.

"I know that you want to cross the river as soon as possible, but the troops from the capital who were ordered to go south to suppress the Japanese have not yet crossed the river. Even if we are in a hurry, we still have to wait."

"Hengdou, are the Japanese invasions in Zhejiang really all caused by the Japanese?"

Lu Xiangsheng held up his umbrella, turned slowly, looked at Lu Xiangheng and said, "You traveled all the way south, and you couldn't have been unaware of the situation in Zhejiang when you were in Changzhou. Tell me, what are you hiding?"

"Brother..."

Lu Xiangheng's eyes were somewhat evasive.

He did conceal the matter about Lu Xiangsheng, but much of what he knew was heard from others, and he was afraid that what he said would affect his elder brother's judgment.

"Okay, if you don't want to talk, I won't force you."

Seeing this, Lu Xiangsheng knew what his brother was thinking, but Lu Xiangsheng also made a decision in his heart, "The Emperor Mingzong's army will not cross this river for the time being!!"

"Big Brother!!"

Lu Xiangheng's face changed slightly and he looked at Lu Xiangsheng in surprise. He didn't know why his elder brother said that. If Emperor Mingzong's army didn't cross the river, what would they do?
You should know that the order of Emperor Mingzong's army was to resolve the civil unrest and rebellion on the South Grand Canal. After he received Lu Xiangsheng's letter in Changzhou, he led a number of people south. What he saw and heard along the way, Lu Xiangheng told Lu Xiangsheng the truth after he met up with him.

At present, the southeastern provinces are not only in chaos in Zhejiang, Guizhou, and Fujian, but there is also chaos in Southern Zhili, especially along the banks of the South Grand Canal, where many bandits have appeared.

"This is a secret letter from Yang Lian to someone."

As Lu Xiangheng was in doubt, Lu Xiangsheng took out a letter and handed it to Lu Xiangheng. "The southeastern provinces are in chaos. This chaos is very strange, but the chaos in Xuhuai and other places is secretly fueled by someone!!"

"Yang Lian's speculation makes me feel alarmed. These people hiding in the dark want to take advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune. Land annexation is secondary. I'm afraid that in the minds of some people, they just want to see Xu Huai in chaos, and the entire Huai River in chaos."

"Haha, Yuan Shizhen's salt reform in Lianghuai has caused too many people to suffer losses. Among them, there are some remnants who want to take advantage of the situation to rebel! !"

Lu Xiangheng's hands trembled slightly as he took the letter from Lu Xiangsheng. Yuan Shizhen's salt reform in Lianghuai had spread to the south of the Yangtze River a long time ago. Many prefectures, counties and cities in the south of the Yangtze River cursed Yuan Shizhen as a traitor who brought disaster to the country and the people! !
It’s time to make up your mind!!

Looking at Lu Xiangheng, Lu Xiangsheng, who was holding an umbrella, said to himself, then turned around and walked quickly towards a tent. The rain was getting heavier.

"We are camping in Suqian to wait for the opportunity to cross the river and head south. Don't forget, we are going south by order to suppress the rebellion on the South Canal!!"

"Yes, the longer the South Grand Canal is shut down, the greater the impact on the court will be, and it may even threaten the country of our Zhu family!"

"But I think what General Lu said is right. If we really wait until all of us go south, there will be chaos in Lianghuai. What should we do then? Just ignore it?"

"Don't forget that Zhongdu is in this area. Don't forget that the ancestral and imperial mausoleums of my Zhu family are also north of the Yangtze River. If Lianghuai dares to cause chaos and disturb the ancestral and imperial mausoleums, who can bear the consequences?"

"I don't know what you are hesitating about. If the sky falls, there is someone taller to hold it up. Don't forget, General Lu has the royal flag bestowed by His Majesty himself. General Lu asked for our opinions because he was giving me face. What? Are you all scared? If you are scared, get out of Emperor Mingzong's army as soon as possible!!"

When Lu Xiangsheng rushed to the tent, he heard the quarrel inside the tent. Lu Xiangsheng sighed softly in his heart, and then he felt emotional. Your Majesty is right.

It is true that Emperor Mingzong's army was planned and built, and it underwent rigorous training. The emperor was ordered to leave Beijing and go to Shaanxi, where he witnessed many of the sufferings of the people.

But this army of Emperor Mingzong does not even have a soul at the moment.

What soul?

A soul that takes the world as its own responsibility!!
All the soldiers of Emperor Huang Mingzong's army were descendants of the Zhu family without exception. Some of them might have been five generations older than them, but their ancestors were also members of the Zhu family.

Zhu Youxiao established the Huang Mingzong Army to provide a path for promotion for thousands of lower-level royal family members, but this does not mean that Zhu Youxiao would call up people with bad character.

Therefore, Zhu Youxiao's requirements for Emperor Mingzong's army were stricter than those for other Ming armies. If there was no sense of responsibility, then even if the army was brave and good at fighting, it would be of no use.

This is also one of the reasons why Zhu Youxiao asked Lu Xiangsheng to command the army of Emperor Huang Mingzong!

Lu Xiangsheng needs to gain experience, grow and rise.

The same was true for Emperor Mingzong's army.

Zhu Youxiao wanted the will and military spirit of the Tianxiong Army to be best reflected in the Emperor Mingzong's army. In this way, batches of lower-level royal family members would rise up, and the foundation of the Ming Dynasty would be more solid.

"Have you discussed everything?"

Lu Xiangsheng's voice was heard outside the tent, and the originally messy tent immediately became quiet. All the officers and soldiers of Emperor Huang Mingzong's army looked in the direction of the voice.

"Meeting Master Lu!"

"Meeting Master Lu!"

All the middle and senior officers of Emperor Mingzong's army bowed and kowtowed respectfully.

In the eyes of the world, their identities were very noble, as they were members of the royal family of the Ming Dynasty. However, after joining the Emperor Mingzong's army, they understood one thing: these so-called identities had disappeared as they joined the Emperor Mingzong's army.

In Emperor Mingzong's army, they have only one identity, that is, the descendants of the Zhu family. Even if their blood relationship is very distant, they still have this identity.

"Tomorrow, Emperor Mingzong's army will leave Suqian and head north to Xuzhou." Looking at the generals in front of him, Lu Xiangsheng said calmly.

"If anyone has doubts and does not want to go, then stay in Suqian. I will not force you to do this. After all, the Emperor Mingzong's army was ordered to go south to solve the chaos in the South Canal. Xuhuai is not part of the South Canal, but these places belong to the territory of our Ming Dynasty. I will not do anything that would allow evil spirits to run rampant!!"

"I am willing to go!"

"I am willing to go!"

Upon hearing this, the officers and soldiers shouted at Lu Xiangsheng in a deep voice without any hesitation, which made many hesitant people shout one after another.

Gradually, everyone in the tent responded.

Lu Xiangsheng looked at the generals in front of him, but he had mixed feelings in his heart. He didn't know how many of these officers and officers would be able to return to Beijing alive when the Emperor Mingzong's army returned to Beijing in triumph, and even how many of the Emperor Mingzong's army he led would be able to return to Beijing alive. However, Lu Xiangsheng was determined that when the Emperor Mingzong's army returned to Beijing in triumph, it would be the time for him to become famous all over the world! !
