Chapter 3 Hit Lu Xiangsheng's Weakness
The scout reported the truth about what he had discovered:
The soldiers of the Ming army heard that they were facing the brave Dorgon. In addition, they had been owed as fear over the years and had been owing military pay for a long time. The soldiers were weak and their fighting spirit was low. Without fighting, most of the soldiers dispersed.
Wu Aheng had only his Governor-General's guard Biao Battalion and a soldier from General Lu Zongwen followed him and was willing to fight to the death with him. Even so, his strength was much worse than that of the Qing Dynasty! Despite this, he still led the alone army to fight the powerful enemy.
The Qing army generals Wu Aheng and Lu Zongwen surrounded each other and fought fiercely for five consecutive days, and Lu Zongwen died in battle.
The wall ling suddenly had corpses piled up like mountains and blood flowed like rivers. At this time, even if all the soldiers around him died in battle, the food and grass had been cut off, but Wu Aheng had no intention of breaking through, he still had a bloody battle. He said one sentence: "Don't run dry, and you will never stop fighting!"
In the end, Wu Aheng was captured with great strength and the Qing army forced a surrender, but he was righteous and did not surrender. He passionately said: "I was born as a general of the Ming Dynasty, and I died as a hero of heaven, and I will never bow my knees!"
Hearing the words of unyielding knees made the Qing army angry and pointed the knife at Wu Aheng's knees and threatened sternly: "Do you kneel?" Not only that, the Qing army also took some captured Ming army escaped soldiers to Wu Aheng, and then waved the sword, "Wow!" Amid the wailing sound of the escaped soldiers, the knees of the escaped soldiers were cut off.
"Do not surrender? Kneel not kneel!" A handful of sharp knives were facing Wu Aheng, wanting Wu Aheng to surrender! Someone even pointed at Lu Zongwen's body and said, "Can you want to be like him too?"
Facing the bloody bayonet, Wu Aheng sneered at the enemy and said lightly: "Come on!" He didn't even bother to look at the Qing soldiers.
"Wow!" The Qing soldiers suddenly seemed to be crazy about being angry, they were so angry! The brutal Qing soldiers cut off Wu Aheng's knees without saying anything.
A Qing soldier came forward with a single step, grabbed Wu Aheng's hair tightly, grabbed his head hard and knocked it to the ground.
This made Wu Aheng look at Venus, but he still used his mouth as a weapon for fighting, "Haha! Surrender? A big joke! Didn't I say it? How could I surrender? Are you the best of a donkey? What a dog barking! No need to waste your energy! You can't make me surrender!"
"Put open his mouth! Pull off his teeth and cut off his tongue! See if he can say anything!" The Qing soldiers were so angry that they were yelling wildly.
Several Qing soldiers came forward to seize Wu Aheng and began to commit atrocities. Wu Aheng's teeth were shot down and his tongue was pulled out.
Originally, he thought Wu Aheng could not do anything, but Wu Aheng, whose mouth was covered in blood, made a ummy sound. It can be seen that he seemed to be still scolding, and his hands were moving. He seemed to be staring at a sword that fell not far away. He was about to climb there, pick up the sword and continue fighting!
Even if his feet are cut off, his tongue and teeth are gone, others often say that the degree of arming his teeth is already very high, but Wu Aheng doesn't hesitate to death and never stops fighting! If you have a tone, you will remember that he is a general and fights to the end!
When the Qing soldiers saw that they were afraid. Although Wu Aheng was about to die, the Qing soldiers were afraid of him and would bring people to take care of him. The infinite fear in their hearts drove the Qing soldiers to kill Wu Aheng to kill them.
………………………………………
The scout reported the news he had heard. "Brother Longhui!" Lu Xiangsheng shouted out! Wu Aheng's name was Longhui, and he was not a Jinshi in the 47th year of Wanli. Lu Xiangsheng was a Jinshi in the second year of Tianqi. He was three years later in Wu Aheng and had the friendship of becoming an official in the same dynasty.
When Lu Xiangsheng heard that Wu Aheng died tragically, how could he not be sad? He cried, staggered, and almost fell down. Zhang Biwu came over quickly and quickly supported Lu Xiangsheng and said, "Master of the Taiwan Affairs Bureau, please be sad and sad! What we are thinking now is how to avenge Master of the Taiwan Affairs Bureau!"
Gu Xian, a member of Lu Xiangsheng, also persuaded: "Yes! Master, don't cry anymore! Please take care of your body! Avenge your revenge for Master Wu Zhitai, this is the most important thing! Don't hurt your body!"
Gu Xian is Lu Xiangsheng's servant. He has been with Lu Xiangsheng since he was a child. The two seem to be masters and servants, but in fact they are brothers.
Lu Xiangsheng also understood it. He also thought that Zhang Biwu was right, so he turned to the scout and asked, "Did Governor Wu say anything before his death?"
The scout replied truthfully: "Before leading the army, Master Wu Zhengtai said, 'The emperor was suspicious, he was mean and polite to his ministers. If his subordinates had any faults, they would either kill or be imprisoned, and they were not tolerant at all! I would have committed a death sentence when I let the Tartars break through my defense and break into the gate! Instead of being captured by the Tiqi and beheaded in the city, it would be better to die in the battlefield gloriously and beheaded on the battlefield with the reputation of being loyal!'"
"Ah!" This sentence shocked Lu Xiangsheng a lot! Lu Xiangsheng also knew that Chongzhen was too suspicious! He was not tolerant of his subordinates and was very demanding. The most important thing was that Chongzhen wanted to be a wise king of Yao and Shun and wanted to revive him too much. Many of his actions were too hasty. For this reason, he was very proud of his face, so that his subordinates would not seek merit, but would not seek any mistakes. The position of corpse and food was considered a one-day salary.
If Emperor Chongzhen had more kindness to his subordinates and had the tolerance of Duke Mu of Qin to Meng Mingshi, then the country's situation would not be so difficult today! The talents would not be silent, and there would not be so many people who could eat without any corpse position.
Yes! It is really difficult to be in the same mind as Duke Mu of Qin! Meng Mingshi was defeated repeatedly and the ministers in the court also had great opinions on him, and Duke Mu of Qin still supported him. In the end, Meng Mingshi defeated the Jin army and was intimidating the world! Qin was dominating the Western Rong. It is indeed difficult to do as Duke Mu of Qin!
Lu Xiangsheng understood Wu Aheng's death. If Emperor Chongzhen could give his ministers more tolerance, Wu Aheng would not choose to die in battle and be loyal to the reputation of being loyal. He would definitely leave a useful body to serve the country and make the country stronger.
Thinking of this, Lu Xiangsheng felt sad when he died of a rabbit and fox. He couldn't help but sigh one after another.
When Zhang Biwu saw Lu Xiangsheng's performance, he heard the scout's reason for Wu Aheng's death. He understood, did Lu Xiangsheng also have Wu Aheng's idea? If he was not good at fighting the enemy, would Lu Xiangsheng also have to follow Wu Aheng's path?
Yes! Lu Xiangsheng in history was afraid of being suspicious of Chongzhen, and the Tiqi arrested the capital and beheaded in the city. Therefore, he would rather die on the battlefield and serve the country with one death.
"Master of Taiwan..." Zhang Biwu wanted to persuade Lu Xiangsheng to dispel this idea, but even Zhang Biwu had no confidence in whether he could persuade Lu Xiangsheng.
"Oh!" Lu Xiangsheng sighed, and suddenly saw that the scout had not left yet, so he asked, "What's wrong? Is there anything else?"
The scout replied: "Yue Tuo, the Qing general who killed the governor of Ji Liao, also appointed him to start a war with our Xuan army! He said that if our Xuan army had the ability, he would fight to the death with him! He even named Mr. Zhang Qian, saying that Mr. Qian still owed him the debt!"
Zhang Biwu thought that he kicked Yue Tuo before, but Yue Tuo could not kill him, and even let Zhang Biwu escape. I guess the energetic Yue Tuo must be extremely unfair, so it would not be surprising to ask Zhang Biwu for his name.
Lu Xiangsheng smiled and said, "Biwu, it seems that in the eyes of the Qing army, they want your head more! Who told you to have this festival with Huang Taiji!"
Zhang Biwu immediately clasped his fists and said, "I'm not afraid! Under the leadership of the National Taiwan Master, we will definitely be able to defeat the enemy!"
Lu Xiangsheng smiled bitterly and said, "We seem to have underestimated Dorgon and Huang Taiji! I originally thought that if the two of them were disagreeing, they would start to make a fuss, but they were united in front of foreign enemies. Perhaps only after the great enemy will they fight in the house!"
Zhang Biwu was silent. He thought of something and said, "I think Huang Taiji knew that Dorgon was a general and had to be appointed, but he could not let Dorgon make more military achievements. He would also help other generals to restrict Dorgon. For example, Yuetuo, who has made contributions to kill Wu Aheng, now I think that if we kill Yuetuo, we should take the assumption that Dorgon helped us, we will definitely be able to incite the relationship between Huang Taiji and Dorgon to further deteriorate!"
Lu Xiangsheng nodded with a smile. He knew that Zhang Biwu was right and that this strategy could be used. However, he also knew that Dorgon and Huang Taiji could give up their personal dislikes with the state as the key to the enemy. This is commendable and difficult to shake.
At this moment, a shout was: "The emperor's imperial edict has arrived!" Chongzhen's imperial edict? Yes! This is a rescuer!
During the invasion of the Qing army, Tangbao spread into the Forbidden City one after another. Emperor Chongzhen was very anxious. All he could think of was the favorite Lu Xiangsheng, who governed the two towns of Xuanda, and asked him to come quickly to help. This was the top priority.
So Emperor Chongzhen immediately sent someone to issue an imperial edict, asking Lu Xiangsheng to quickly lead his troops to help.
Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help but sigh. If Emperor Chongzhen had not believed the eunuch's order to blame him for actively preparing for war and thus relaxed. Otherwise, he could give the order and the entire army would come to rescue him quickly!
But now that the food, supplies, etc. are not prepared, and the army has not been assembled, how can he come quickly? So what Lu Xiangsheng can do now is to get ready to run for help as soon as possible.
More importantly, when Lu Xiangsheng's father passed away, he was still mourning. The period of Dingyou was not over. He had to prepare what he had to do during the mourning period before he wanted to go. After all, the Ming Dynasty governed the country with filial piety, and his father's period of Dingyou was extremely valued.
Lu Xiangsheng ordered: "Biwu, go and rectify the troops quickly and be ready to rush to Beijing! Everything is left to you to coordinate!"
"Yes! Master of the Taiwan Strait!" After Zhang Biwu gave the salute, he left. He would not let Lu Xiangsheng down.
Just as Zhang Biwu returned home, the guards immediately reported: "Mr. Qian, a letter has arrived! The sender said that the person who wrote the letter was a good friend who lived and died with you in Korqin!"
