There is a space for passenger planes in the late Ming Dynasty

Nangong County Yamen, pledge the house.

After the Qing army failed to attack the city and retreated, Lin Feng drank tea and chatted with Lu Xiangsheng in his room.

Lin Feng asked after pouring a cup of tea for Lu Xiangsheng. "What are your next considerations, Lord Superintendent?"

Lu Xiangsheng took a sip of tea and said in a bleak tone: "What can the defeated general think about? I'm just waiting for the imperial court to issue an order to investigate."

Lu Xiangsheng was very aware of Emperor Chongzhen's mean and ungrateful temperament. He always dismissed and beheaded officials who suffered huge defeats. Several ministers and governors of the Ministry of War had been eliminated. In addition, there were powerful officials in the court who disagreed with him. His fate could be imagined. And know.

"Master Lu, what do you think of my Zhenming Army?" Lin Feng then asked.

"The Zhenming Army in the distant mountains is well-equipped, has high morale, has sufficient money, and the three armies are dedicated. They are truly the strongest army in the world." Lu Xiangsheng praised.

"If Brother Jiandou is given command of an army like this, will he be confident in defeating the Tatars?" Lin Feng said seductively, and the title became more affectionate.

Lu Xiangsheng was a rare all-rounder in both civil and military affairs in the late Ming Dynasty. He was highly skilled in personal martial arts and possessed the agility and decisiveness required of a general. When he was the county magistrate, there was a local bandit leader named Ma Pianpian who led more than 400 tribesmen to harm Qi, Lu, Yan, Jin and other places. The local governments had no good plan to suppress him.

Lu Xiangsheng led Minzhuang to find the opportunity when Ma Pianpian was alone, implemented a "decapitation operation" and captured him in one fell swoop. In order to prevent the situation from changing, Lu Xiangsheng immediately decided to behead Ma Pianpian, and his tribe also dispersed.

Later he was promoted to the governor of Daming Prefecture, and then to the governor of Xuanda. He was a good man whether it was farming, training troops, or fighting. Therefore, Lin Feng also wants to attract talents like Lu Xiangsheng to join.

But people like Lu Xiangsheng cannot be impressed by his official position and wealth. He must seize the point that impresses him. Before he is not sure, Lin Feng can only do a sideways test.

"If there are 20,000 troops like the Zhenming Army, it should be possible to defeat the main Tatar force. Even if there are only 10,000 troops, it can greatly limit the Tatar invasion and plunder." Lu Xiangsheng said yearningly.

"Then Jiandou will give more guidance to our Zhenming Army's operations during this period." Lin Feng decided to take it step by step, first asking Lu Xiangsheng to participate more, and once he gets used to it, he can't leave.

"Boom boom boom!"

There was a knock on the door.

"Come in!" Lin Feng said.

"Two adults, Ting Fengwei is here with Mr. Lu's military commander Yang Tinglin." Fang Xiaoyu came in to report.

"Oh, why are Boxiang here?" Lu Xiangsheng said a little excitedly, and at the same time he looked at Lin Feng.

"Please invite Yang Zanhua in quickly." Lin Feng ordered with satisfaction.

"Lu Gong, it's great that you're okay. As soon as I heard about the defeat of our Tianxiong Army, I quickly went to Jiazhuang to find you. The sentry horse of the Zhenming Army informed you that you had been rescued in Nangong, so I came over." Yang Tinglin He briefly talked about his situation after leaving the Tianxiong Army.

That day, Lu Xiangsheng ordered him to go to Liu Yuliang for help with the handwritten letter, but he didn't see it for several days. Lu Xiangsheng's handwritten letter was still on his body.

When Liu Yuliang heard in Anping that the Qing troops were coming, he was so frightened that he turned pale and fled to Jinzhou in a panic. Chen Hongxu, the magistrate of Jinzhou, and the people of the same city swore a blood oath not to let Liu Yuliang enter the city even one by one. Liu Yuliang was furious. He asked for an order to arrest Chen Hongxu in Beijing for questioning, and fled to Zhending.

Yang Tinglin arrived in Baoding and was about to catch up with Zhending. Suddenly he heard that Lu Xiangsheng's entire army had been wiped out. He burst into tears and ran to Jiazhuang day and night.

The area within a few miles of Jiazhuang became a world of death, with corpses of people and horses everywhere. Although most of the Ming soldiers were killed, thousands of Qing soldiers also died in this fierce battle.

Yang Tinglin was trying to find Lu Xiangsheng, and happened to encounter the sentry horse of the Zhenming Army, and was escorted to Nangong County Yamen.

"Boxiang, is there any news about Gao Qiqian and Guan Ningjun?" Lu Xiangsheng asked. "Gong Lu, I heard some news before I came to Jiazhuang. After Gao Qiqian learned about the defeat of our army in Jiazhuang, he immediately led his army to flee in panic. On the way, he was intercepted by a group of Tatars. The whole army collapsed. Guan Ning's army Most of them may have fled to Liaodong." Yang Tinglin replied.

"This damn Gao Qiqian, so many Guan Ningjun have done nothing in his hands!" Lu Xiangsheng was so angry that he hammered the table with his fist.

"Where is that high-rise dive man now?" Lin Feng asked.

"I have seen Governor Lin. Gao Qiqian has fled back to the capital. He must have falsely accused the Governor of the defeat, which led to the collapse of the Guanning Army under his control." Yang Tinglin continued, although this was his guess, but it was not a big deal. There's a chance this damn eunuch would do this.

"I have great filial piety. It was originally the emperor who forced me to stay here because of his love. It's okay to be punished by the decree. It's a pity that so many soldiers died for the country but still have to be infamous." Lu Xiangsheng said with infinite sadness in his heart.

"Brother Jiandou, there are not only a few people who have the final say in this world. For the sacrifices your Tianxiong Army has made to resist the Tatar invaders, I, Lin Feng, will definitely repay you justice in the future!" Lin Feng said categorically. He hated to see the DPRK the most. These little people.

"Yang Sichang and Gao Qiqian have the emperor's trust, so what are you doing?" Yang Tinglin said helplessly.

"In the face of absolute power, all evil spirits and conspiracies will be swept away. As long as you two are in our Zhenming Army, no one can plot against you, not even Emperor Chongzhen." Lin Feng promised the two of them.

"You are an official of the imperial court, how can you not obey the emperor's will?" Lu Xiangsheng was a traditional scholar with deep-rooted loyalty to the emperor.

"Lord Lu Xiangsheng has died heroically in the battle of Jiazhuang. There are no more imperial officials here. Brother Jiandou, why don't you pursue a new life? I know you have the ambition to quell the Tatar rebellion and rebuild a prosperous age. Why not fight with us, it is better than dying unjustly. In prison." Lin Feng advised.

"Yes, Mr. Lu, if you are defeated this time, you will definitely be framed and imprisoned by Gao Qiqian and other villains when you go back. Before the battle of Jiazhuang, if it were not for the distrust of the court, I would have waited a few days for reinforcements from the elders of the three prefectures in Jinan to arrive. , how could we end up with the entire army being annihilated." After this incident, Yang Tinglin already felt deeply disappointed with the court. He was also relatively young and had a stronger desire to seek change.

"This matter is of great importance. I need to think about it again." Lu Xiangsheng replied.

"Brother Jiandou, you are a rare all-rounder in civil and military affairs. I will not just watch you die unjustly. I led the Zhenming Army southward largely to save you. If you just return to the court like this, the blood of our soldiers will be lost." Isn’t it all in vain?”

"This, this..." Lu Xiangsheng hesitated.

"Yang Zanhua, please write a post saying that Mr. Lu has died for his country. Let's see how the court reacts. This is not a lie. We will not be able to save Mr. Lu in a quarter of an hour." Lin Feng confessed. road.

"Willing to serve!" Yang Tinglin naturally did not want Lu Xiangsheng to go back and die, so he immediately agreed.

When Lu Xiangsheng heard this, he couldn't help but feel embarrassed. Am I going to die like this?

"Brother Jiandou, don't be too arrogant. Just think that you have been loyal to the emperor last time. Now you can change your name and start over. I think it's good to call you Lu Jianguo. What do you think, brother Jiandou?" Lin Feng helped in a wicked way. He named Tao.

"Mr. Lu, just listen to Mr. Lin's arrangements. Isn't it enough to die once? You already have a clear conscience towards the court." Yang Tinglin persuaded.

"Xiang Sheng is an ominous person. Brother Yuanshan values ​​​​this much. If I refuse repeatedly, it means I don't know how to praise him. But there is one thing. If Yuanshan can agree, I will stay here." After Lu Xiangsheng thought about it for a while, he made up his mind. said with determination.

"Don't say one thing, even ten things." Lin Feng said happily.

"One thing is enough, no matter what happens in the future, please ask Brother Shanxi to save the lives of the emperor and his family." Lu Xiangsheng was a loyal person after all, so he only made this request.

"I have no personal grudge against the emperor, and the Zhenming Army does not regard killing as a good idea. I promise Brother Jiandou that as long as possible, I will save the lives of Emperor Chongzhen and his family." After hearing this, Lin Feng thought for a moment and then decisively agreed.

"This is the best!" Lu Xiangsheng finally felt relieved.
