Chapter 170

Will it be over to send Sun Chuanting and Hong Chengchou?

Of course not, this is just beginning.

Lu Xiangsheng's battle is the highlight.

The emperor sat in the Ganqing Palace and spent two days memorizing the names of three hundred people.

On March 16, Chongzhen arrived at the Xidaying of the Beijing Guards, which is the Daying of the Tianxiong Army.

Two miles away from the camp, Chongzhen heard the sound of killing, the sound of muskets and cannons.

If it weren't for sure about the Xidaying here, Chongzhen would have thought he had gone to the battlefield.

After the emperor arrived at the door, he informed him. Soon, Lu Xiangsheng came with a group of officers from the Tianxiong Army.

"I am guilty of welcoming the throne late!"

Chongzhen got off the carriage and helped Lu Xiangsheng up: "I didn't inform you before I came. Those who don't know are innocent, so get up."

Everyone got up now.

"Lu Aiqing, I am here this time, first, I want to discuss important matters with you, and second, I want to meet the men."

"Please, Your Majesty."

Surrounded by everyone, the emperor entered Xidaying.

Looking at the soldiers training in the distance and the busy officers, Chongzhen said: "Don't disturb them from practicing."

"yes!"

Chongzhen took Lu Xiang into the room where Lu Xiangsheng was waiting.

A map hangs in the room.

The door was surrounded by layers of Jinyiwei.

Chongzhen said bluntly: "Lu Aiqing, I want you to wait for 30,000 people to go to Liaodong and station in Jinzhou!"

"I accept the order!"

"Don't you ask why I want you to go to Liaodong?"

Lu Xiangsheng said strongly: "I am Your Majesty's minister. You can do whatever you need me to do!"

This is very Lu Xiangsheng!

Chongzhen was very pleased, so he patted Lu Xiangsheng on the shoulder and said, "Yuan Chonghuan is building a city now. In July this year, Jiannu will inevitably invade Daling River."

He walked to the map and pointed to the Daling River: "The Daling River is the key place for the Liaoxi walkway to enter Liaodong. To the north is Guangning City. Jiannu has a close contact with Mongolia outside Ji Town. I need Yuan Chonghuan to build the Daling River City."

"Once Dalinghe City is built, our Ming army can leave the western Liaoning walkway and point directly to Guangning City. All of them are Huang Taiji who has to hold heavy troops to defend Guangning."

"If it goes well, Huang Taiji will have no time to interfere in Mongolia."

The emperor spoke patiently, his tone was calm and his logic was clear.

Since Lu Xiangsheng was sent to the most dangerous place, he naturally had to tell him the truth about this matter and let him know how important this battle was.

Let him know his worth.

"So, there can be no mistakes in the construction of Dalinghe City." Zhang Chen looked at Lu Xiangsheng, and there was a strong sense of calmness and confidence in his calm tone, although it was pretended.

"I hand over the important task of guarding you, and I hope you will not let me down."

Lu Xiangsheng immediately said with great force: "Please rest assured, I will never let you down your trust in me."

Lu Xiangsheng is 31 years old this year, and he is young, and he has a calm temperament.

He doesn't talk much on weekdays, does things meticulously, never makes friends with other officials, and stays with the soldiers when he has nothing to do.

Such a general is a good general.

But in ancient times, he was also a general who was afraid of by the emperor.

Zhang Chen knew that Mr. Lu would not have any unfair intentions. After all, he was the first person to die on the battlefield with mourning clothes.

"You get up first, there's another thing."

"I don't know what happened, so please let Your Majesty make it clear."

"What do you think of Jiannu's Eight Banners Cavalry?"

"I have never confronted the Eight Banners Army head-on, so it is difficult to judge, but I heard that the Eight Banners Army is fierce in fighting."

"It's true, the Eight Banners are fierce in combat. My Ming soldiers talked about the Eight Banners and became scared."

"I will definitely not let down Your Majesty's trust and guard Dalinghe City!"

"I'm not talking about this, I'm thinking about what tactics to use to fight against the Eight Banners Cavalry."

Zhang Chen walked to the table, picked up a pen, and started drawing on the paper.

"The Eight Banners' tactics are actually hunting tactics, cavalry encircling the depth and fighting fiercely."

"But before both sides approached, Jiannu was good at using heavy infantry to open the way, winning time for the cavalry to charge, and doing encirclement."

"I think, would it be much better if our army had a group of brave people who were not afraid of death and took the lead?"

"Everyone of the men of the Tianxiong Army is afraid of death, as long as the Majesty gives the order!"

Zhang Chen smiled and said, "I don't mean that. I need you to prepare for the suicide squad when you meet the elite Eight Banners."

Suicide squad?

Lu Xiangsheng was slightly stunned. From the literal meaning, he understood what the emperor meant.

"How about the three hundred cavalry, as a suicide squad?"

Three hundred people?

Lu Xiangsheng was shocked again because the emperor asked him for a list two days ago, which happened to be three hundred people, and these three hundred people were all brave and good at fighting.

"His Majesty……"

"What do you think?"

"feasible!"

"Since that's the case, gather the three hundred people, and I have something to say to them."

"yes!"

Lu Xiangsheng immediately summoned, and soon all 300 people were summoned to the school grounds.

The emperor stood there in military uniform.

Although the young men looked solemn, they had unconcealed excitement in their eyes.

Next, Zhang Chen only did one thing, which was to call each name, and every time he called a name, he would use a few simple sentences to tell where they were from.

Every time I read one, the other person was shocked, and some even burst into tears.

Being remembered by the emperor is something that is very proud of.

Chongzhen finished reading in one breath, but did not drink a sip of water. He spoke so hard that his mouth was dry, but he acted calmly.

Everyone around them also saw it. They didn't know what these 300 people did. They were so envious of such honors.

When he came out of the military camp in the afternoon, Chongzhen said to Lu Xiangsheng privately: "As long as they sacrifice one person, they will be given a pension of 300 taels!"

300 taels are money that many ordinary families can never make in their lifetime.

Lu Xiangsheng said: "Yes!"

After saying that, Chongzhen left.

On March 20, Xidaying suddenly began to rectify its troops. Thirty thousand Beijing Guards set out from Beijing, headed to Shanhaiguan, and left Shanhaiguan. Their purpose was Jinzhou City.

As soon as Lu Xiangsheng left, Chongzhen received the latest information from Kalaqin.

Wandanweizheng and Gurusiqibu completely broke up, and the two sides fought hundreds of people, directly igniting the war.

Wandanwei summoned 20,000 people and accused Guruschibu of killing his men first. He asked that Shu Bu be fair and severely punish the murderers when he saw Shu Bu.

Several Otoks immediately participated in this matter, and the Yongsebu tribe and Asut tribe were also interested in getting involved.

Obviously, if you don’t handle it well, it will not be a battle of hundreds of people.

After reading this military newspaper, Chongzhen felt that the war was coming.

It is late March, and Yuan Chonghuan is stepping up building a city. Huang Taiji will never support Kalaqin, but will stop Yuan Chonghuan.
