The angel couldn't wait long, and soon, generals from all walks of life arrived. When they saw Yang Tinglin who was a little embarrassed, they couldn't help but be a little surprised. Unexpectedly, the civil servant came here again. It must be that Shilang Lu was in a very critical situation, so he came to the director to shamelessly ask for an audience, right? It seems that the director has not seen him again, so his efforts are in vain!
The recent war has not been going well. The Manchu and Qing troops attacked the city and captured the territory. Angels have arrived again. They are afraid that the emperor will be angry and will deal with people again. If nothing else happens, Lu Xiangsheng will definitely have to be dealt with. The last time he was demoted to Minister of War, I don’t know if this time he was demoted or demoted?
This Yang Tinglin behaves like this, stubbornly wearing the same pants as Lu Xiangsheng, maybe both of them will be implicated!
Thinking of this, none of the generals who came to greet Yang Tinglin invariably stayed away from Yang Tinglin and kept their distance, for fear of being seen by Director Gao and being resented.
At this moment, a surprising voice suddenly rang out: "Mr. Yang, how is my master?"
Yang Tinglin heard the sound and took a look and recognized it was Guerrilla Lu Da.
Lu Xiangsheng originally formed an army near Daming Mansion. The soldiers were mainly relatives, friends, and good people from the neighborhood. They all knew each other, so they could fight together. In the late Ming Dynasty, there was also a name called "Tian" Heroic Army". This force is small in number, only about 5,000. It is led by Lu Da, the leader of the servants, and his duties are just that of a guerrilla.
Based on this army, Lu Xiangsheng mobilized cavalry from various armies to fight in the north and south, and gained a great reputation. But behind this reputation, Lu Da only has about 3,000 people left. Just like that, Gao Qiqian was diverted away from Lu Xiangsheng. Therefore, Lu Da appears here instead of beside Lu Xiangsheng.
Yang Tinglin naturally recognized Lu Da and was overjoyed at the sight. Then he hurriedly stepped forward to hold his hand and said hurriedly: "Shilang Lu and the Manchu and Qing troops encountered each other at Haoshui Bridge. They won the first battle, but there were too many Manchu and Qing troops. Now they have Surrounded. I came to ask for reinforcements, but the director avoided seeing me..."
Lu Dayi was shocked when he heard this, and said quickly: "The director will receive the order soon, and you will definitely see him. Please ask the director to send troops to rescue quickly!"
He had been excluded and didn't even know that Yang Tinglin had been here during the day.
The generals nearby heard this and were all amused. If the director-general wanted to save Shilang Lu, he would have sent troops during the day, and he would not have cut off the food and grass for Shilang Lu's troops. What's more, now that the angel has arrived, he may have to punish Minister Lu. All in all, Minister Lu is probably dead this time!
Before Yang Tinglin could answer, he suddenly saw Gao Qiqian coming out in a hurry, and he quickly stepped forward to stop him. Regardless of whether he was an angel or not, he loudly said: "Director Gao, Minister Lu held back the Manchu army at Haoshui Bridge and won the first battle. Please also ask the high-ranking director to send troops quickly to fight the Manchu army for a decisive battle!"
"The final general is willing to lead his men to be the vanguard for overnight rescue!" Lu Daye quickly stepped forward and clasped his fists and said loudly.
When Gao Qiqian heard this, he sneered and said gloomily: "You insulted Shangguan, didn't you feel good about it? Why, now you come to beg our family again? Huh! Now that the angel has arrived, you have given up on that idea. Bar!"
After a heavy groan, he bypassed Yang Tinglin and immediately ordered: "Ask the angel to declare the decree!"
Yang Tinglin was furious when he heard this, and he stepped forward to pull up Qiqian's sleeves and argue, but at this moment, the guards in golden clothes stepped out to protect the angel.
When everyone saw this, they immediately stepped forward to listen to the order. Yang Tinglin had no choice but to listen to the order first. At the same time, he made up his mind that no matter what the imperial edict was, when he saw Gao Qiqian this time, even if he risked his life, he must be forced to agree to send troops.
The angel is an official of the General Administration Department, and it is obvious that this decree is a serious decree.
Gao Qiqian knew in his heart that with Yang Sichang in the court, this decree would not be good for Lu Xiangsheng!
"The emperor is bound by heaven, and... Lu Xiang is promoted to Minister of the Ministry of War, commanding the world's troops, and the director-general Gao Qiqian cooperates with him. There must be no restrictions on Lu Shangshu's power to command operations..."
Hearing the ups and downs of the voice, almost everyone in the lobby was stunned. No one, including Gao Qiqian, expected that this imperial edict would re-promote Lu Xiangsheng to the position of Minister of War, and also made it clear that Gao Qiqian could not interfere with Lu Xiangsheng's power to command operations.
what happened? The emperor obviously wants to negotiate peace! Moreover, Lu Xiangsheng was already dealt with as an excuse for this, so why did he suddenly have to reuse him again? Doubts appeared on Gao Qiqian's head, his face was full of shock, and he couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he tried. So much so that the angel had to say "Director Gao, take the order" twice in a row.
After receiving the imperial edict in his hand, Gao Qiqian was still a little confused. How could this happen? It shouldn't be! When the emperor promoted or demoted Lu Xiang before, he should actually have given up on Lu Xiang's promotion! But why, why should he be promoted again?
I really couldn't understand it, and the emperor's decree made Gao Qiqian feel worried in his heart. He suddenly thought of something, and as if grasping a life-saving straw, he quickly took a few steps forward, approached the angel who delivered the decree, and asked in a low voice: "Does Yang Gebu know about this decree?"
He asked this question, although his voice was very low, but at this time, there was silence in the lobby, and everyone had their ears pricked, so many people heard it. They immediately understood that Gao Qiqian's purpose in asking this question was that he felt that someone in the court had bypassed Yang Sichang, the elder in charge of military affairs, and persuaded the emperor to come up with such an abnormal decree.
Yang Tinglin was originally overjoyed, but the emperor was wise and finally realized that the most correct thing at hand was to appoint Lu Shilang, no, Lu Shangshu.
But before he could say anything about sending troops to rescue Lu Shangshu soon, he heard Gao Qiqian's question. He was stunned for a moment, and then felt frightened for no reason. It seems that this is indeed the case. Whether Yang Sichang knows this will will have a great impact on the execution of this will.
In his opinion, if Yang Sichang knew about it, he would not be able to let the emperor issue such a decree. Because he didn't want to know too clearly what Yang Sichang's plan was. Previously, it was because of the impeachment of Yang Sichang over the peace negotiation that he was assigned to Lu Xiangsheng's army.
Thinking like this, he was afraid that after Gao Qiqian figured this out, he would act against his will. As long as he delayed for time, Lu Shangshu would probably die in the battle!
So, when he was rushing to speak, he saw the angel nodding and saying at the same time: "This decree was written by Yang Gebu himself!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the lobby was stunned again.
Everyone knew that Yang Sichang wanted to make peace, and he had already fallen out with Lu Xiangsheng, who was determined to fight. How could it be that Yang Sichang came to draft Lu Xiangsheng's decree again?
Gao Qiqian was immediately confused again and frowned, unable to figure out what was going on. It was obvious that when he had secret discussions with Yang Sichang several times, Yang Sichang was always determined to take the path of peace negotiation. How could he possibly formulate such a decree?
As a confidant of the current emperor, Gao Qiqian also knew that the emperor had already lost his temper at all by the bandits in the country, the Manchus and the Mongolian Tatars outside the customs. Therefore, Yang Sichang, who proposed the peace negotiation strategy, was able to make peace in a short time. He was promoted to assistant cabinet minister.
In this case, why, why would there be such a will for myself?
Although Gao Qiqian couldn't figure it out, one thing he knew was that the angel who delivered the message would not lie.
He was still thinking about this in a daze, but Yang Tinglin could no longer bear it and shouted loudly: "Director Gao, the emperor has a decree. Please send troops to rescue Lu Shangshu quickly!"
As soon as he heard these words and the words "quickly send troops to rescue", Gao Qiqian suddenly understood. He felt that he had finally understood the key to this purpose.
Yang Sichang must have known that Lu Xiangsheng was in danger, so he made a favor to prevent others from criticizing him, so he pretended to be a good person and drafted such an imperial edict. As long as the rescue on his side is delayed, the 5,000 men and horses in Lu Xiangsheng's hands are no match for the 100,000 Manchu troops and will definitely be killed.
After thinking of this, Gao Qiqian suddenly thought deeply, maybe, this is what the emperor meant! The emperor also wanted to save face and did not want to bear the infamy of future generations, so he instructed Yang Sichang to issue such a decree. As long as he makes excuses to delay for a while, Lu Xiangsheng will definitely die! In this way, both the emperor and Yangge's department gained face and were able to get rid of the stumbling block of Lu Xiangsheng.
After thinking about this clearly, Gao Qiqian suddenly felt refreshed and immediately ordered people to arrange for the angel to rest. Then, he took the main seat, glanced at the generals below, and looked at Yang Tinglin with a sneer on his face.
