Daming Mansion is not famous, but Daming Mansion has produced an extremely famous prefect.
"Lu Xiangsheng, the prefect of Ming Dynasty!"
Chongzhen thought to himself that it was indeed this fierce man.
Lu Xiangsheng was not well-known at first, but he really came to prominence in October of the second year of Chongzhen. Huang Taiji led his army to avoid the Jinning defense line, use Mongolia, and break into the pass from the Xifengkou of the Great Wall. The city of Beijing was in danger.
Lu Xiangsheng recruited 10,000 troops and went to Beijing to serve the king.
In the third year of Chongzhen, the military equipment of Daming, Guangping, and Shunde were reorganized and merged with the 10,000 soldiers and horses previously recruited, which was called Tianxiong Army.
Since this Tianxiong army is composed of fellow soldiers, friends, brothers, family members, etc., the death of one person in battle can often arouse the anger of most people.
Therefore, the fighting spirit is very strong. Once you encounter an enemy, you will bite hard and fight to the end.
Lu Xiangsheng took the lead in every battle and shared the joys and sorrows with the soldiers. Once the army was short of food and the soldiers didn't eat for three days. Lu Xiangsheng also didn't eat for three days and didn't even drink water.
The Tianxiong Army participated in the suppression of the peasant uprising armies of Gao Yingxiang, Li Zicheng and others. They once drove the uprising troops to flee everywhere, and fought against the Jiannu slaves in Xuanda, making many military exploits.
It is a pity that such a famous general who dared to fight and was good at fighting was killed by the eunuch Gao Qiqian.
Lu Xiangsheng's Tianxiong Army, Sun Chengzong's Yiding cavalry, and Sun Chuanting's Qin soldiers were collectively called the three major armies in the late Ming Dynasty. This shows how powerful this Tianxiong army was.
Chongzhen hesitated, should he activate Lu Xiangsheng now? The Tianxiong Army rose up because of Lu Xiangsheng. If Lu Xiangsheng was transferred away now, would the Tianxiong Army still appear?
While Chongzhen was hesitating, Fang Zhenghua continued: "Your Majesty, I have three reasons for recommending this person. First, Lu Xiangsheng has been familiar with military books since he was a child, and he is also a scholar. Such people are indispensable for the formation of the Tengxiang Four Guards.
Secondly, if he can share the joys and sorrows with the people of Daming Prefecture, he will definitely be able to share the joys and sorrows with the soldiers of Tengxiang Four Guards. This is the most rare thing, and the soldiers he brings will also support him;
Third, superior personal strength, courage and carefulness are the prerequisites for a sergeant. "
After a while, Chongzhen made up his mind: "It is said that Lu Xiangsheng will come to see me immediately. I want to see him in person before talking."
Now that Lu Xiangsheng has been activated in advance, he is also planning to activate several other people in advance.
He immediately said: "I will give you a few more candidates. I think they can be of great use. You can also send a message to them to come to see me."
"Huang Degong, a member of Kaiyuan Wei, should now be a member of Qianhu of Kaiyuan Wei."
"Zhou Yuji is from Jinzhou Wei."
"Cao Wenzhao, a native of Datong, Shanxi Province, is currently serving as a guerrilla in the Liaodong Army. His nephew Cao Bianjiao is also a warrior."
"Sun Chuanting, a native of Daizhou Zhenwu Guard, has been a Jinshi, served as the head of the Ceremony Department of the Ministry of Civil Affairs and a doctor in the Department of Examination and Honors. He should be idle at home now."
While Fang Zhenghua memorized it in his mind, he secretly wondered where the young emperor learned about so many people.
When he heard Sun Chuanting, his mind was shocked and he lost his voice: "Sun Chuanting?"
Seeing Fang Zhenghua's expression, Chongzhen asked curiously: "What? Do you know this person?"
"Your Majesty, when this person was selected as a Jinshi, Yuan Chonghuan, Liang Tingdong, Ma Shiying, Jiang Yueguang and others were on the same list as him.
Although he was a scholar, his ninth ancestor Sun Cheng was a Zhenwuwei Baihu during the Hongwu period. His fifth ancestor Sun Qi, his great-grandfather Sun Zongpai, his grandfather Sun Siyue, and his father Sun Yuanzhen were all elected candidates.
He is also tall and tall, eight feet long, can shoot left and right, and has excellent martial arts skills. I am a martial artist, so I naturally know this kind of person.
I wanted to elect him just now, but he offended Wei Zhongxian. I was afraid that calling him back would make Wei Zhongxian and others suspicious, so I didn't mention it. I didn't expect that Your Majesty also knew about him. "
Chongzhen nodded. Sun Chuanting was a fierce man. He captured Gao Yingxiang, the "King of Chuang", eliminated fifteen groups of rebels, and stabilized the situation in Shaanxi.
"These people can be of great use. You can immediately arrange to summon them to see me."
After Fang Zhenghua left, Chongzhen stared at the map of the Ming Dynasty and was filled with emotion.
At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the civil servants included Sun Chengzong, Bi Ziyan, Han Huang, Fan Jingwen, Li Banghua and others. Among them were experts in political management, financial management, and military management;
Among the generals, Lu Xiangsheng, Zhou Yuji, Huang Degong, Cao Wenzhao, Cao Bianjiao, Zhang Huangyan, Zhang Mingzhen, Man Gui, Zhao Lejiao, etc., every one of them is a famous general who can fight.
This kind of lineup is like letting Chongzhen play to death for the Ming Dynasty. I don't know if Chongzhen's ability is really not good, or if the Ming Dynasty's luck is really exhausted.
Since he knows these people, he will give these people a stage to display their talents and create a bright future.
The days went by like this day by day. During the daily court meeting, Chongzhen didn't care about the reports of other ministers. He just kept asking about the matters in Shaanxi.
Which department was responsible for not doing a good job, Chongzhen didn't ask the reason, just scolded him, and even dragged him out to reward him with ten army sticks.
The ministers were frightened by Chongzhen's violent methods. For three or four days in a row, every day's court meeting was just a formality.
After leaving the court meeting, all the ministers were very busy. Even the life-and-death party fights that were usually fought were stopped with a tacit understanding.
The efficiency of the entire imperial court was operating at an unprecedented speed, and Chongzhen was also enjoying his leisure time.
On this day, Chongzhen had lunch. In Dongnuan Pavilion, Fang Zhenghua came in: "Your Majesty, Lord Li is here."
Chongzhen, who was immersed in the memorial, asked without raising his head: "Who is Mr. Li?"
"Master Li Banghua Li!"
Chongzhen's hands shook and he stood up instantly: "Quickly declare!"
After a while, Li Banghua, dressed in royal robes and guard, walked in: "Li Banghua, a common man, is here to see your Majesty."
"Li Aiqing, please get up."
Chongzhen stepped forward and helped Li Banghua up: "My dear companion, please give me a seat and tea."
"Li Aiqing, you have returned to Beijing. I can finally have a peaceful sleep."
Li Banghua, who had just sat down, was stunned for a moment. He looked at Chongzhen and wondered why. He also muttered to himself, you can't sleep and go to the imperial doctor. I'm not an imperial doctor, so what's the use of looking for me.
"Your Majesty, please give me your instructions!"
Gulu...Gulu...
Just as Li Banghua finished his response, a strange sound sounded in Dongnuan Pavilion.
Everyone looked at each other and finally looked at Li Banghua who was sitting. At this time, Li Banghua's dusty face was also red.
Fang Zhenghua stepped forward and whispered: "Your Majesty, Mr. Li has been traveling day and night. He only had dry food to satisfy his hunger along the way. He has not eaten since he set off in the morning."
Chongzhen understood instantly and took a pastry from the dragon table: "Li Aiqing, please rest your stomach first and then talk after you finish eating."
"I thank your Majesty!"
After Li Banghua thanked him, he grabbed a piece of pastry and stuffed it into his mouth, regardless of the other people in Dongnuan Pavilion, and then drank a cup of tea.
Wang Chengen and Fang Zhenghua, who were waiting in the Dongnuan Pavilion, were speechless. They could still eat so calmly in such an occasion. I don't know if they were arrogant or short-sighted.
"Master Li, please do not lose etiquette in front of His Majesty!"
