Chapter 673 The Unusual Lu Xiangsheng

Lu Xiangsheng couldn't be idle, he couldn't stay in the governor's office all the time in a daze, so he found an excuse and left outside the Great Wall.The good name is: review the place.

Accompanying Lu Xiangsheng was also Wu Sangui. Wu Sangui was originally stationed in Zhangjiakou, but because he was going to deal with the Mongolian right-wing tribes, he was also transferred to help Lu Xiangsheng.Wu Sangui has quite a reputation in this grassland.

These reputations are all based on punching. People on the grassland only recognize fists, and they will listen to whoever has a big fist.

Today, Wu Sangui "brought" Lu Xiangsheng to experience the "beyond the Great Wall".

This season is the fattest season of the year on the grassland. The sheep are fat and the horses are strong. inevitable.

Because of the special status of the Imperial Association Army, they had a lot of friction with many tribes because they took advantage of the horse market, and it was inevitable that they would fight and kill, especially the Mongolian right-wing tribes. The Imperial Association Army hates it even more, but the Ming Dynasty is so powerful that even the gold of the strong soldiers and horses has been folded into the hands of the Ming Dynasty many times. They have always adopted a tolerant attitude towards the Ming Dynasty, but it is obvious that the restraint has collapsed.

The Imperial Association Army is not a kind person. With the backing of the Ming Dynasty and trade privileges, they live a much better life than ordinary tribes. Naturally, they have to maintain their status and privileges. For tribes who dare to bypass their privileges, they are absolutely invincible. I won't tolerate it, but I often kill some small tribes. Of course, I also do part-time plundering business. These days, the grasslands have already been bloodied, and plundering is commonplace. This kind of costless business is very prosperous.

Today, there are actually both factors. Even if this unruly tribe is to be killed, it is also a incidental looting, and it is necessary to start attacking the Mongolian right-wing tribes in Datong.

The Imperial Association Army was in charge of fighting, while the Ming Dynasty was in charge of supervising the battle, suppressing the formation, distributing supplies, recording achievements, and allocating shares.

The person who came to supervise the battle this time was Wu Sangui. Wu Sangui didn't lead many people, the new army was only a thousand people, and Lu Xiangsheng came to experience the "style" and inspect the place.There are more than 3000 Imperial Army troops here. In addition, there are actually a group of frontier troops who followed the autumn wind on the grassland. Now the sheep are fat and the horses are strong on the grassland. It is the fattest season of the year. I missed this Season, don’t even think about eating meat during the Chinese New Year this year. Frontier troops appear outside the Great Wall. Nowadays, it’s not a rare thing. Not everyone can do it now. It’s not an “elite”, and they won’t let you come with them. You said you want to go abroad, you have to have a horse, you have a horse, in the border army system, it is definitely an "elite", but now it is a good job to go to the frontier, in order to grab a place, you have to break your scalp, but the number of places is always limited .

More than 3000 Imperial Army troops came up and surrounded this tribe. This tribe did not escape. Maybe they thought this was the territory of the Tumote Department, which was safer. The Imperial Association Army or the Ming Dynasty would not cause trouble in this place. Therefore, they were not too vigilant, because neither the Ming Dynasty nor the Imperial Association Army generally came to this place to fight, and usually fought fiercely on the Xuanfu side.But obviously, things are not absolute.

After the tribe was besieged, they were a little panicked, but they also lived on the grassland, so they reacted very quickly, and quickly gathered people to start defending. Although the tribe leaders repeatedly hoped to talk about it, and even hoped to become the Imperial Army, But the Imperial Association Army didn't give a chance at all, surrounded them directly, and shot them to death if they dared to get close. After all, the people of the Ming Dynasty will not let them besiege the tribe that can become the Imperial Association Army. Now that they are besieged, they can't make a trip in vain. They will definitely see blood, and they will definitely bring back the spoils of war. .

Lu Xiangsheng looked at this tribe a little far away. This tribe was "hooked up" by him. The people from the Military Intelligence Bureau were responsible for screening and judging the tribes on the grassland. Those who might become the Imperial Association Army were recorded in the record. If you can become the Imperial Association Army immediately, you will immediately become the Imperial Association Army. If it is not convenient, you can also become the Imperial Association Army at an appropriate time, but those tribes that do not deal with the Ming Dynasty will be screwed out and put on the blacklist. If there is a chance, just kill it without leaving any sympathy.

The Imperial Association Army also relied on the flesh and blood of the Mongols for support, and a considerable part of the Mongolian tribes must have become the flesh and blood for support.

In the distance, the Imperial Association Army is fighting around the tribe, while the Ming Dynasty is watching from a distance. Wu Sangui is holding a binoculars to observe the situation constantly. He is the supervisor and commander of this battle, and Lu Xiangsheng is careless with a knife. Peel the sweet potato, after peeling, take a bite of the sweet potato, just a mouthful of fresh milk, eat with relish, as if this is a delicious meal on earth.

"Uncle! Who came up with this way of eating? Why does Benfu think it's so suitable for the occasion? Sweet potatoes are just milk. It's amazing. Not only is it very hungry, but it's also inconvenient to eat, and you don't need to light a fire." , On this grassland, there is no simpler food than this..." Lu Xiangsheng sighed while watching the battle in the distance, eating sweet potatoes and milk.

"Returning to my lord, since His Majesty ordered the promotion of sweet potatoes, Tian Guozhang has planted a lot of sweet potatoes inside and outside the border, and after they are planted, there is this way of eating them. My lord, it is indeed as my lord said, very hungry and convenient... …" Wu Sangui hastily put down the binoculars, and replied carefully.

"Oh, so that's the case, no wonder, it turns out that His Majesty had already prepared for it, no wonder, no wonder..." After hearing this, Lu Xiangsheng sighed a few more times, staring at the sweet potato in his hand in a daze.Sweet potato is milk, it is a perfect match on the grassland. If you drink too much milk, you will be tired, and if you eat too much sweet potato, you will be rough. The combination of the two is just right. If you are very hungry, you will solve the problem of milk. If you eat too much meat, you will be greasy. Trouble, it really serves multiple purposes, and what's even better is that these two things can be eaten without lighting a fire, which is very convenient when going out.

Looking at the battle scene in the distance, Lu Xiangsheng had infinite reverie. It seemed that he was fighting this battle, it seemed that these soldiers and the Imperial Association Army were fighting, but in fact, it was the emperor who was fighting. Everything is just a matter of course, and there is almost no suspense in the matter.

Sweet potatoes are milk, that is to say, in the future, such a large land outside the Great Wall will be a piece of land that can't be cooked any more. Wherever sweet potatoes can be grown, people can be raised. In the future, this land outside the Great Wall will no longer be a place for grassland tribes to stay. The people of Daming will definitely be able to adapt to these places.

Thinking of this, Lu Xiangsheng felt even more emotional. The battle in front of him has already been decided. The emperor has already prepared everything that should be prepared. In the overall situation, he has already surpassed the Mongolian tribe by a lot. What is left is They just follow the established path, and it is almost impossible for accidents to occur. Even if there are some accidents, under this general trend, they will only be crushed into powder.

"My lord, this sweet potato is like milk. It can not only be eaten raw, but also boiled or roasted. It is really a good thing on the grassland. With him, I can save an unknown amount of military rations." , I heard that Tian Guozhang has prepared to store all the sweet potatoes used for brewing wine at the border, and prepares to make military rations..." Wu Sangui also said with emotion, this seemingly inconspicuous sweet potato, when it arrives on the grassland, it is really It's a rare good thing, and I couldn't help but say a few more words.

"Oh, and this matter? Who did the uncle hear from?" Lu Xiangsheng asked.The sigh in my heart was even worse.

"My lord, I heard what Zhang Dudu said." Wu Sangui replied hastily.

"Well... Your Majesty Quan Nai's strategy! It is said that the food and grass will go first before the soldiers and horses are moved. Your Majesty has prepared the rations for us early! This battle has not yet started, and we have already won three points..." Lu Xiangsheng Exclaimed.

"That's right! Getting food locally saves the trouble of long-distance transport... My lord, these sweet potatoes can also be made into vermicelli and can be stored for a year. Even if I have to go deep into the desert, I won't have to worry about running out of food. This vermicelli stew is also very delicious..." Wu Sangui continued to introduce the delicacies in the army.Wu Sangui still had a good impression of this young governor. Firstly, he belonged to the emperor. Secondly, this young governor did not have the airs of an ordinary literati, and was very talkative.

"..." Lu Xiangsheng was speechless for a while. He was worried about the situation in Datong before, and he was worried that the Great War would be very troublesome. Now it seems that the emperor may not be as complicated as he imagined. The emperor was planning a year or two ago. These things have already been prepared. The reason why he was promoted from a civil official to the governor of Datong seems to be the emperor taking risks. In fact, I am afraid that the emperor already has a well-thought-out plan and must have strong confidence.

The scene became a little silent.

This topic could not be continued, Lu Xiangsheng began to concentrate on watching the battle.

"...Elder Uncle, it seems that these imperial association troops have not put in all their strength..." Lu Xiangsheng also saw that more than 3000 people surrounded a tribe of thousands of people. In fact, what they had to deal with was only a few hundred people with combat effectiveness. I haven't hit it yet, it's really slow.

"Yes, my lord, in order to reduce unnecessary casualties, the Imperial Association Army first sapped the enemy's will, and then took it all at once. My lord, do you want to end the battle quickly?" Wu Sangui explained, and then asked.

"No, Elder Uncle, let's follow the rules. I just want to know the rules. The Imperial Association Army is fighting, and there are other rules. Elder Uncle, please tell me all about it." Lu Xiangsheng said.

"Yes, my lord, in general, our Ming Dynasty is only responsible for supervising the battle and holding the formation. Generally, we don't make a move. Once we make a move, we must win. This is the rule set by His Majesty. In addition to supervising the battle and holding the formation, I am also responsible for recording the records of the various imperial alliance armies." Merit, judge their merits, and then the company will allocate trade quotas to their merits..." Wu Sangui began to explain.

"So that's the case. I just heard about it before, but I didn't actually see it. Now that I have seen it, it is indeed better to meet him than to be famous. This method is really good..." Lu Xiangsheng commented that his training with the emperor was very short, and many things were just a few points. That's all, now I have to admire the actual operation process.

"My lord, this is really good. It's all thanks to His Majesty, Your Majesty!..." A general next to him suddenly said, seemingly very excited. This general is the "leader" of the frontier army who came out to fight the autumn wind , They also belong to the Ming army. Under normal circumstances, they naturally don’t have to go up and fight like the Imperial Association army, but they can indeed get a lot of spoils. Although the new army also needs spoils, the new army’s salary is very high. Not so much, such as cattle, sheep, livestock, population, tents, etc., most of them are given to these bitter frontier soldiers, and it is a good thing for them.Now that he is counting on him to have a good year, there are probably people who can't marry a wife. Therefore, when it comes to this rule, this general can't help but think of the emperor.

Looking at the excited generals of the frontier army, Lu Xiangsheng didn't know what to say. Apart from lamenting that the frontier army had the courage to go out of the fortress, what else could he say? Ordinary people can't do it at all. Lu Xiangsheng feels that the chances of winning this battle are a little bit higher. The frontier army of the Ming Dynasty is 80 million. The combat strength of these more than one hundred thousand horses is not high, but judging from the current situation, it will never be too bad. It is no problem to fight the autumn wind and sweep the corners. War is okay.

"What General Zhang Shen said is true. Your Majesty Quan Nai is so wise that this situation has come into being..." Lu Xiangsheng chatted with this very excited general again.

"...Elder uncle, tell me, how are the spoils divided?" Lu Xiangsheng asked again.

"Returning to my lord, it is usually fifty to five points. The Imperial Association Army gets [-]%, and my Daming gets [-]%. My Daming side, [-]% will be divided directly, and the other [-]% will be saved for the wounded and dead Imperial Association Army. Burn and bury the aftermath..." Wu Sangui said again.

"Well, it's really good. If you gain something, you will be motivated!" Lu Xiangsheng nodded again. This is indeed what I heard on the platform at the beginning. Raising the Emperor's Alliance Army with the flesh and blood of the Mongols, although it seems a bit unkind, But it is a very effective strategy.

"...cough cough, my lord, of the [-]% that my Daming took, the general new army only took some gold, silver and valuable things, and the rest, such as cattle, sheep and livestock, were all given to the frontier army..." Wu Sangui After thinking about it, I told Lu Xiangsheng about this unspoken rule, for fear that Lu Xiangsheng would not know that this unspoken rule would ruin the cooperation between them and the frontier army. But it's all their territory, and we enjoy working with them. They are welcomed wherever they go, and they can get help as much as they can if they have anything to do. The cooperation with the frontier army is also quite pleasant. Naturally, I don't want any accidents. The so-called strong dragon does not overwhelm the local snake.

"This master knows, everything should be done according to the original rules..." Lu Xiangsheng said.

"Thank you, Lord Futai, for the reward, thank you, Lord Futai..." The general was afraid that the new governor would not understand the rules and change the rules randomly. When he heard Lu Xiangsheng say that everything was business as usual, he couldn't help but thank him immediately.

"General Zhang Shen, it's not Ben Fu who wants to thank you. Ben Fu is just doing an errand according to His Majesty's orders. If you want to thank Your Majesty, you should also thank Your Majesty. If you want to thank Your Majesty, you must fight the enemy bravely. Only in this way can you serve Your Majesty... "Lu Xiangsheng said.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty is wise, Your Majesty is wise..." After finishing speaking, the general participated in a half-kneeling in the direction of the capital excitedly. This excitement and gratitude are not fake. The tribe in the distance , seeing that they are about to be cleaned up, and the spoils are about to be obtained, naturally there will be no half adulteration.

Just as he was talking, some accidents occurred on the battlefield.

There are thousands of people in this tribe, not considered a small tribe. There are hundreds of people who can fight. More than 3000 Royal Association Army surrounds the family, but it may not be able to surround them. Too heavy to hurt.

However, things don't always develop as they imagined.

This tribe seems to be quite familiar with the style of play of the Ming Dynasty and the Royal Association Army, and it may even have discovered the strangeness on Lu Xiangsheng's side.Suddenly gave up the defense, and all the troops rushed towards Lu Xiangsheng, probably attracted by Lu Xiangsheng's flag.Perhaps in the eyes of this tribe, if the governor of the Ming Dynasty can be captured, the end of extinction can probably be avoided, and even great achievements can be made.

"No, my lord, those Mongols have discovered my lord, maybe they are coming to fight, my lord should avoid it..." Wu Sangui immediately realized that something was wrong, his expression immediately became tense, and asked Lu Xiangsheng to hide.Among the chaotic army, if Lu Xiangsheng did something good or bad, he couldn't afford to walk around.

"...General Zhang Shen, my lord will trouble you to take care of it. I will intercept it..." As the commander, Wu Sangui immediately issued an order. He didn't dare to let Lu Xiangsheng take risks. He was going to intercept those Mongols in one fell swoop. give them any chance.

"No need, I want to meet these Mongols and see if these Mongols have three heads and six arms..." Lu Xiangsheng immediately vetoed Wu Sangui's order. Lu Xiangsheng came to "investigate" outside the Great Wall, and what he wanted was this opportunity. Let it go, otherwise, why put a big banner of Liaodong governor Lu here?Doesn't this make it clear to let others come to the fore?

"This, my lord,...my lord's safety is the most important thing..." Wu Sangui was a little surprised.What does this fair, thin Futai want to do?Sit and watch the Mongols rush up?
"It's okay..." Lu Xiangsheng insisted.Seeing the group of Mongols getting closer and closer, Lu Xiangsheng picked up the saber without haste.

Lu Xiangsheng's move stunned the people present. This is a genuine saber, and the white and thin governor picked it up so easily, it seems effortless...

Lu Xiangsheng took a sword flower, looked at the blade, and seemed very satisfied with this saber.

The surrounding generals were all dumbfounded, it couldn't be made of wood.How come the governor is so easy to play with?
This group of people was still in a daze, and the Mongols rushed over very fast, and they were almost here.

"Let's go..., follow me to meet these Mongols..." Lu Xiangsheng didn't say too much, his eyes stared straight at the Mongols, he raised his horse a little, and ran forward, gradually accelerating... …

The quick-response people saw that something was wrong, so why did the governor go to charge the Mongolian team by himself?Dumbfounded, he followed immediately and shouted for your lord to come back, but Lu Xiangsheng didn't seem to hear it at all, and gradually accelerated towards the Mongols.

To be honest, the most shocking thing is General Zhang. He, the "leader" of the frontier army, actually just wanted to fight the autumn wind. He didn't expect that the new governor would go to the battle in person... This is completely beyond beyond his imagination.

"My lord, my lord, what shall we do?" The soldiers behind General Zhang Shen rushed up when they saw the governor, and Master Wu also rushed up when they saw the new army, but their frontier army who fought Qiufeng was still here, that shameless There is really no place to put it, so I immediately remind my adults.

General Zhang Shen, who came to his senses, blushed, and immediately shouted: "Protect the governor..., brothers, come with me!" It's even more embarrassing, there is really no place to put this face, in case the governor has something bad or bad... General Zhang Shen didn't dare to think about it anymore.

The two groups of people rushed towards each other quickly, Lu Xiangsheng rushed to the front, followed by a group of anxious people.

The two groups of people collided rapidly.

The place where everyone's liver hurts, the governor Lu Xiangsheng easily cut through a Mongolian knight, bringing up a pool of blood... After another Mongolian knight, another pool of blood was brought up...

Everyone was dumbfounded...
