Chapter 5 Lu Xiangsheng rushes to the rescue
In the previous chapter, Chongzhen ordered Lu Xiangsheng to rush to the capital. After Lu Xiangsheng was ready, he ordered to march into the capital.
On the other hand, when Emperor Chongzhen heard the Qing Dynasty invasion, he ordered Yang Guozhu, Wang Pu and Hu to enter Beijing to defend the enemy, and the capital began martial law.
Emperor Chongzhen also gave Shang Fang sword to Lu Xiangsheng, asking him to govern the world to help the king quickly break the siege of Beijing.
Once Lu Xiangsheng received the order, he did not dare to neglect any more. Even in Ding Youqi, since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety cannot be achieved both. He immediately ignited Xuanda's elite troops and rushed to rescue the capital.
Lu Xiangsheng felt much better this time, because he was asked to govern the world's troops and horses, and he could fight to the death with the Qing Dynasty! Not to mention defeating the Qing Dynasty's Tartars, even if both sides were injured, because the Ming Dynasty's national strength was far better than the Qing Dynasty, even if it was a loss of one-on-one, even if it was a one-on-two, the Ming Dynasty could not afford it, but the Qing Dynasty could not afford it.
Whether it is a draw or a tragic victory, as long as the Tatar soldiers were killed and injured in large numbers, the Tatars would not dare to invade the Central Plains again. This is Lu Xiangsheng's plan.
But Zhang Biwu frowned because he knew that in history, Chongzhen gave a good reputation, allowing Lu Xiangsheng to govern the world's soldiers. But in fact, Chongzhen wanted to discuss peace in his heart. He even asked Yang Sichang and Gao Qiqian to control Lu Xiangsheng everywhere. Lu Xiangsheng did not say that he was in control of the world's soldiers, but even the troops he brought were divided, causing Lu Xiangsheng to die in the battlefield in the end.
Zhang Biwu sighed. He knew the result, but did not remember the entire process of this historical event. What he was thinking in his mind was how to change the process of Lu Xiangsheng's death on the battlefield. However, Zhang Biwu was not very sure. What he could do now was that he chose this path himself. Even if it was burned, he could only keep going!
Zhang Biwu admires Lu Xiangsheng's character very much. He really doesn't want Lu Xiangsheng to die! He decided that even if he pays this life, he will work hard to change history and prevent Lu Xiangsheng from being killed. Now Zhang Biwu is still full of confidence, just like Lu Xiangsheng, but in the end, the cruel facts will make Zhang Biwu and Lu Xiangsheng become desperate...
On the other hand, the Shaanxi side was not peaceful. The three-sided governor Hong Chengchou and Shaanxi Governor Sun Chuanting drove Li Zicheng out of Sichuan at the beginning of the year, and then drove Li Zicheng into the mountains again.
Now that he found out the news, Li Zicheng wanted to join Luo Rucai, nicknamed Cao Cao, and then return to northern Shaanxi and regain his power.
Because while Chongzhen was urging Hong Chengchou to suppress the bandits, he also asked Hong Chengchou to quickly lead the king-stricken army to the capital. However, at this time, the Qing army was rampant, and most of the Ming army fled when they heard the news. No decent resistance was organized in each city, almost allowing the Qing army to enter the deserted land, as if they were leisurely wandering in their own back garden.
Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting collaborated to set up an ambush in Nanyuan, Tongguan to lure Li Zicheng here, then eliminate Li Zicheng, and then rushed to the capital to help the capital. Therefore, it is impossible for Lu Xiangsheng to draw the elite Shaanxi troops to serve the king. Unless after Li Zicheng's army was defeated in Nanyuan, Tongguan.
Lu Xiangsheng urgently ordered Hong Chengchou to come quickly to support him, and Hong Chengchou had to send troops to rescue him. After thinking about it, Hong Chengchou dispatched 3,000 troops to respond to Lu Xiangsheng first. Then he waited to annihilate Li Zicheng's rebellion Wang Yijun and then led the main force to rescue the capital.
One thousand of the three thousand horses were led by Deng Dongsheng, and President Deng Qian was very happy that he could fight side by side with Zhang Biwu again. Before setting off, President Deng Qian sent someone to send a letter to Zhang Biwu to let Zhang Biwu know that he personally led one thousand horses! And one hundred of these thousand horses were once Zhang Biwu was a subordinate of the 100 General Office in Yulin Town!
Lu Xiangsheng asked 20,000 infantry to rush to the capital for a while, and for a short rest, he rushed to the capital with 10,000 cavalry.
Originally, Lu Xiangsheng wanted to fight against the Qing army on the road, but it was strange that whenever the Qing army heard about Lu Xiangsheng's army, they would not dare to confront Lu Xiangsheng at all and avoid it.
Lu Xiangsheng entered Changping, where the emperors of the Ming Dynasty were located. In the capital, in addition to the capital, the most important thing was the location of the ancestral tomb of the Ming Dynasty emperors in Changping.
The Qing army captured Changping the year before last, which was a great humiliation for the Ming Dynasty, but the Ming Dynasty could not retaliate. If Changping was captured by the Qing army now, it would be even more ashamed. This is why Lu Xiangsheng quickly seized Changping first.
Lu Xiangsheng had to worship the Ming Chengzu first. According to the Ming scholars, he worshiped the Second Patriarch. Although Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang was not buried in Changping, because this was a habit for the scholars of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming emperor who came to Emperor Tianqi from Changping to worship the Ming Chengzu in Changping was said to worship the Second Patriarch.
After worshipping, Lu Xiangsheng was worried. The year before yesterday, in the 9th year of Chongzhen, the Qing army attacked Changping fiercely, thus breaking through the locations of emperors of the Ming Dynasty, thus giving great shame to the Ming Dynasty.
He wanted to win a battle and be proud, but the Qing army did not fight him at all and was always avoiding him. He was helpless.
The Qing army avoided the war and did not confront Lu Xiangsheng, which made Lu Xiangsheng very depressed, but the shepherd Yang Lukai and Zhang Biwu came to report Lu Xiangsheng. Lu Xiangsheng's face changed drastically! He was angry! He had to figure it out! All the anger appeared on Lu Xiangsheng's face!
Lu Xiangsheng didn't know that he was already in a siege, and a condom was approaching quietly to strangle his neck and strangle him to death!
This is related to the Qing army avoiding Lu Xiangsheng, because this was a conspiracy that the Qing army was playing. At this time, the Qing army avoided Lu Xiangsheng and the Liaodong vanguard General Zu Dashou and headed south along the canal to attack Shandong.
At this time, the Qing army was divided into two wings. The left wing was the main force of the Qing army, Dorgon, Haoge, and Abatai; the right wing was Yuetuo, and Chu Ying's eldest son Du Du.
Dorgon appointed Yue Tuo to attack Jinan, the capital of Shandong Province. If Jinan, the capital of Shandong Province, falls, the entire Ming Dynasty will be shocked and will make great contributions. Under this excuse, Dorgon ordered Yue Tuo to be fully responsible for the capture of Jinan. He will attack Lu Xiangsheng. As long as he kills Lu Xiangsheng, the credit of Yue Tuo killing Wu Aheng is ten times stronger!
Yue Tuo obeyed the order honestly. He went south along the canal and made a real attempt to attack Jinan, but he was obedient on the surface. Dorgon knew it.
Dorgon thought to himself: "Zhang Biwu, you are in Lu Xiangsheng's place. This time I will kill you and Lu Xiangsheng together! I am ready, you can't avoid this disaster! Didn't you expect that? Our people are moving inside your Ming Dynasty! If our army alone does not destroy Lu Xiangsheng, to destroy Lu Xiangsheng, the people within you must play a key role, otherwise how can you be killed?"
Duoduo came over and said, "Brother, I heard that Yue Tuo Mingli wanted to go south to Shandong, but in fact, he planned to hand over the troops to Du Du, and then he led a army north to attack our army forward and backward, thereby killing Lu Xiangsheng. The one who assisted him was Haoge in our army! This hateful Haoge's subordinate is a subordinate, but in fact he is a military supervisor! Of course, Shuotuo's younger brother, as Yuetuo, also looked to Yuetuo! Huang Taiji arranged for Haoge and Shuotuo to monitor our army, and also laid a solid foundation for Yuetuo's achievements!"
Dorgon smiled and said, "We can't stop Yuetuo! Because this is Huang Taiji's plan! Huang Taiji believes that he is still ready to kill Lu Xiangsheng and Zhang Biwu, who has caused him a lot of face this year, this is also the best reward for the attack on Ming! Yuetuo and Haoge must make contributions in this battle! Because Huang Taiji wants to support Yuetuo and restrain me! Therefore, he will get rid of me without any worries!"
Duoduo was anxious: "Brother, why don't you find a way to make Yuetuo unable to make a contribution! Why do you still want to let him go even though you know that Yuetuo is going to fight and kill Lu Xiangsheng with us!"
Dorgon replied: "Because Huang Taiji did not trust Yue Tuo, what he trusted the most was his son Haoge! But among the ministers, only Yue Tuo and Jiergalang were the most suitable to share my power. Yue Tuo Yujun and Jiergalang Yuwen, this is Huang Taiji's plan. Although Yue Tuo is brave and resourceful, he is one thing that is too irritable, and this is also valued by Huang Taiji and easy to control. After this battle, if Yue Tuo makes great contributions, he will be the strong enemy in our court! But...hehehe!"
Dorgon smiled happily, patted Duoduo on the shoulder and said, "Doduo, don't worry! Yuetuo, who was irritable and smooth all the way, is not my opponent! Although he is the best! He has been successful all the way! He is successful in his youth! He has no setbacks except from the prince to Beile, unlike me who had to work hard to survive since I was a teenager!"
Dorgon continued confidently, "Hey! Besides, Huang Taiji doesn't trust him? Do you think he can beat me? So what if he makes meritorious service? If I don't make meritorious service, Huang Taiji might attack me immediately! I'm just like Huang Taiji's wish for one time, and it's nothing serious!"
"The merit of saving the Lord? Hee! This is the role of Huang Taiji reusing Yuetuo, and it is also the reason why Yuetuo may be killed by Huang Taiji in the future! Duoduo, just wait and see!"
Duoduo didn't say anything, but Dorgon said that he was most excited: "It's just that I want to kill Zhang Biwu, but Yuetuo, but me Dorgon or you Duoduo! This is also my greatest respect for my friends. I will do my best to kill him on the battlefield! Let him die like Batulu and as heroic as a hero!"
When it comes to killing Zhang Biwu, Duoduo was excited. He remembered that he was defeated by his hands when he attacked the Great Wall. His fists were clenched tightly, and he couldn't wait to see that day approaching.
