Chapter 873(1/2)
Lu Xiangsheng showed his power (two in one)
Lu Xiangsheng told many governors that he had asked His Majesty for preparing money and food with His Majesty in the future.
Stop the soldiers from going to the battlefield and discuss whether the military pay will be distributed, and then the troops will be given food after they arrive.
Doing this way will only be self-bound.
At that time, there will be insufficient food and salary, and the soldiers will have to follow the bandits to rob.
After so many years of suppressing bandits, you have not discovered that the government army has become accomplices with the bandits?
All the food and money issued by the court became the food and money of thieves!
Now the Governor and the Prime Minister have all the special troops and special food and food. The troops in Jizhou, Liaoyang, Shanhaiguan and Ningyuan are all under my jurisdiction.
After Lu Xiangsheng finished speaking of the court's reply, he emphasized again:
"The governors and ministers of all provinces are responsible for the heavy responsibility of the frontier. Don't ask others for reinforcements whenever there are thieves!
It’s not appropriate to not respond to you. After all, everyone is trying to suppress bandits and should work together.
But let's go everywhere to pick you up. How can the imperial court's troops make up for the time when the bandits escape?"
Zhu Dadian and others nodded repeatedly.
The army's food and salary is definitely a big problem, and even if the encirclement and suppression are over, the bandits will have already run away.
As for the matter of calling reinforcements, it is really Ji Cao.
After all, many people feel safe.
No one dared to follow Cao Wenzhao, Ai Wannian, Zhang Quanchang and others to suppress the bandits with only a few thousand people.
It would be a loss to end up with the three of them.
So now everyone is willing to call support.
The government army became even more exhausted.
If Lu Xiang hadn't turned the tide with success, he would have won twice.
They may not be able to listen to Lu Xiangsheng's words.
Anyway, there are very few people like Yuan Chonghuan who directly chopped down the head of the coach.
Lu Xiangsheng said Chongzhen's extra meaning again.
Everyone here must issue a military order. At the same time, Your Majesty hinted that if everyone cannot suppress the enemy, they will not be able to escape the imperial court. The prison meals in the imperial prison are still good, if they are willing to spend money.
Finally, he said that the censors in the court always impeached him, fearing Gao Yingxiang, and fearing war and not daring to fight with him.
Lu Xiangsheng knocked on the table and said, "Gao Yingxiang must be suppressed and killed. All rumors will be wiped out, and you can't let Your Majesty down!"
Gao Yingxiang was a well-known leader during the uprising. He was much more famous in the Ming Dynasty than He Jinchao.
The rebel army he led has been fighting in Shaanxi, Ningxia, Gansu, Shanxi, Henan, Anhui and other places for a long time.
Unlike He Jinchao, it only "harm" to a place in Shanxi.
Many of the less powerful uprising troops had fought with him in joint battles, wandering around, effectively disrupting the ruling order of the Ming Dynasty and expanding the group that joined the rebels was not just people from the province.
When he left Qin and Jin, He Jinchao thought about joining Gao Yingxiang to walk together.
The uprising army led by Gao Yingxiang was the strongest, and it became famous all over the world when it attacked the capital for the first time and broke into the palace to kill Emperor Chongzhen.
The name directly outweighed He Jinchao, who had just been known to the court for capturing King Jin to capture Taiyuan.
Immediately afterwards, he burned Zhongdu Fengyang and entered the sight of Chongzhen and others again.
Therefore, he was regarded by the court as a thorn in his eyes and would like to get rid of it quickly.
It can be said that Gao Yingxiang and He Jinchao chose face and the other chose inner silence!
Zhu Dadian said, "There are ninety-nine thieves, and the King of Breaking is the strongest.
There are many descendants of D, and the armor is refined and the steps are not chaotic, which is comparable to his stolen rats.
It is suitable to be in line with the power of the world, and you will definitely win the first place if you buy it again.
If you capture and break, the rest of the thieves will not be able to make a difference!”
Lu Xiangsheng had some minor objections to what Zhu Dadian said.
In his opinion, the hammer bandit He Jinchao was the hardest thief to deal with.
However, He Jinchao is too low-key, so that the big thief Wang Jiayin, after Wang Ziyi died, is not as high-profile as Gao Yingxiang.
But now Lu Xiangsheng needs to do his best to deal with Gao Yingxiang, He Jinchao will leave Hong Chengchou with a headache, he has no time to do it yet!
Some words are not convenient to put in this meeting.
"This meeting was set for the main military goal of encircling and annihilation of Gao Yingxiang's troops." Lu Xiangsheng immediately asked:
"Where is Takabe now?"
"Return to Premier Lu, Gao Yingxiang is now besieging Luzhou but failing to conquer Hanshan and Hezhou, and then besieging Chuzhou."
Lu Xiangsheng patted his arm and said, "Then we will destroy him in Chuzhou."
Everyone responded loudly.
Lu Xiangsheng ordered that he would first let Jingliao Bo Wu Guojun, general Zu Kuan, guerrilla Luo Dai rescue Chuzhou.
Wu Guojun was originally taken away by Hong Chengchou, but as Lu Xiangsheng was in charge of Jizhou, he was directly asked to come over.
Hong Chengchou guessed something about the problem between Wu Guojun and He Jinchao. This time he took the initiative to attack Shanxi, and he was very suspicious of him.
I was afraid that I had just decided on the strategy here, so I sent it directly to He Jinchao.
Wu Guojun could feel that Governor Hong did not trust him, and he also did not trust Hong Chengchou.
Lu Xiangsheng sent someone to distribute the edict of His Majesty's "Absolution from the Shanxi and Shaanxi robbers" and asked them to publicize it to dismantle the bandits' fighting spirit.
The general idea is that you are all my subjects, but because of the corruption and cunning officials, the age of corruption, so that you are hungry and cold, and doing things are not your original intention.
Only a few are the mortal enemies of the court, and most of you are driven by one or two people.
If you can sincerely repent and come to surrender, I call you the rescue of refugees, find out your hometown one by one, send it back to your hometown, return your old business, and give you pensions from all parties.
If you are obsessed with it and resist to the end, then I will definitely eradicate you all, resulting in the world of great Ming Dynasty without any remnants!
Among them, there were many beautiful words in Chongzhen's edict, but they had no practical significance.
Lu Xiangsheng really knew how to recruit so many people.
The court needs to solve the problem of the place where it is planted, need to provide relief and loans to "cattle breeding fees", and also have "people who concentrate on cooking" so that they can live and farm, and enjoy the new business!
But the court gave nothing except an edict.
Lu Xiangsheng didn't know how many impure thieves could deceive, but according to His Majesty's wishes, Song Jiang was the one!
The King of Chuang, Chuangcai Tian, Dongtianyao and other seven families continued to join forces to attack Chuzhou for hundreds of miles.
Liu Dagong, the governor of Chuzhou, and Li Jues, the minister of Taipu Temple, guarded Chuzhou City to death, and bombarded the bandits with fire and artillery.
Gao Yingxiang also bombarded with artillery, and still dug holes to fill the trenches, retreated and advanced again, attacked for three consecutive days, breaking the Sheep and Horse Wall in Chuzhou.
The city wall can be broken in an instant.
Liu Dagong, the prefect of Chuzhou, looked desperate. He made a will. After the city was broken, he committed suicide and committed suicide to serve the court.
Otherwise, he would not have been completely corpses if he fell into the hands of the bandits.
Besides, Liu Dagong was unwilling to be trampled by a group of bandits and humiliated at will!
Gao Yingxiang also breathed a sigh of relief when he looked at the soon-to-be-breaking Chuzhou City. The two previous battles with the government army suffered a considerable loss of elite soldiers.
Now that we have captured Chuzhou, we will definitely be able to rebuild our fighting spirit.
As long as you are killing one or two high-ranking officials in the government, that's fine.
Not only can morale come back, but it can also bring back more people to oppose the Ming Dynasty.
Just when Gao Yingxiang was full of plans.
As a result, Zu Kuan, who was sent by Lu Xiangsheng, suddenly attacked the back of the rebel army.
The officials and troops advanced together, which caught Gao Yingxiang off guard and was defeated by the officials and soldiers.
The rebels on the battlefield were suddenly in chaos, shouting, wailing, and smoke and dust.
Liu Dagong saw the sudden reversal of the offensive and defensive momentum outside the city. He was a little surprised for a moment. When was the Ming official army so powerful?
The prefect always believed that the official army could not defeat the bandits, which made the bandits rampant until now. What's more, Cao Wenzhao, the most capable general, was killed.
How can Liu Dagong raise confidence?
The defenders in the city couldn't help but respond loudly, and wanted to rush out and snatch two heads as military achievements.
Zu Kuan brought a new wave of Guanning Iron Cavalry to kill the thieves, which was simply easy to capture.
During the melee, five miles east of Chuzhou City, the leader of the rebel army, Dong Tianyao was hacked to death by the official army.
As soon as the leader died, the morale of the rebel army plummeted and all the battalions collapsed.
