"Clang"
"Wow"
The prison car was smashed in half, but Kim Sang-hyun inside the prison car was not injured at all. However, because he stayed in the prison car for too long, after losing the support of the shackles, his body swayed and almost fell. Thanks to the quick eyesight and quick hands of the Ming army soldiers beside him, he was able to hold him up instantly.
"Amitabha, it's great that your Excellency is fine!" Dubu stepped forward and said happily, then immediately stepped sideways and introduced the person behind him to Jin Shangxian: "This is Mr. Lu, the Governor of Baoding in the Ming Dynasty."
When Jin Sangxian heard this, he was stunned.
This horseman, who was surrounded by soldiers of the Ming army, was tall and wore general armor. At first glance, Jin Sangxian thought he was a general of the Ming Dynasty. He guessed that he might be a general or something like that. After all, the highest general in Dongjiang Town was the general. Soldiers. But he was also a little strange, how could he still have the temperament of a scholar and an elegant demeanor.
After hearing Dubu Monk's introduction, he realized that this man was not a military commander at all, but a border official of the Ming Dynasty, a governor in charge of one side. Immediately, Jin Shangxian subconsciously packed up his clothes and groomed his appearance, and then saluted respectfully: "The sinful people of a small country pay homage to the Governor-General of the Supreme Kingdom. The sinful people of a small country really, really have no face to meet the Lord of the Supreme Country! Wow! …”
Ming Dynasty has always taken care of North Korea like an elder brother. Especially during the two Japanese Rebellions, it was even more benevolent to North Korea. As long as there is some conscience, they all believe in Ming Dynasty. However, in the ensuing rebellion, North Korea abandoned the Ming Dynasty again and again and succumbed to the Jianqi Dynasty again and again, which made North Korean scholars who were deeply influenced by Confucianism ashamed.
The same is true. At that time, Injo had so many people who supported him and overthrew the pro-captive Gwanghae Lord in one fell swoop. However, later, he succumbed to the power of Jianlu again. Although during the first Phi Island naval battle, North Korea refused to send ships to Jianlu to assist in the attack on Phi Island. But later in the second Pidao naval battle, they finally borrowed ships to attack the Ming army. From then on, North Korea sent troops again and again to assist the Manchu and Qing armies in their operations.
Regarding this kind of thing, even if he had no choice but to worry about it, now that he met Lu Xiangsheng, a senior civil servant of the Ming Dynasty and the governor of Baoding, Jin Shangxian was naturally extremely ashamed and burst into tears.
Lu Xiangsheng's dealings with North Korea began with the Battle of Port Arthur. To be honest, he didn't have much favorable impression. He felt that Daming had raised a white-eyed wolf. Later, he got Cui Mingji's blood letter, which changed his impression a little.
When he saw Kim Sang-hyun at this time, he didn't care how high Kim Sang-hyun's prestige was in North Korea. With his status, even if the leader of North Korea, Li Jian, was here, he would salute him. But at this time, he saw Jin Sangxian's true feelings and burst into tears. As a scholar, he felt Kim Sangxian's mood.
Lu Xiangsheng looked at his gray beard and remembered his persistence in refusing to surrender to Jianlu. He immediately turned over and dismounted, and before Jin Shangxian knelt down, he supported him and said: "No need to be polite. There are loyal ministers like the boss in North Korea. I will definitely report to the emperor and explain North Korea's difficulties. In the past, Let bygones be bygones. However, in the future, North Korea will never be able to distinguish between black and white and help others do evil. I am watching from Liaodong!"
In fact, Emperor Chongzhen never gave up on North Korea. During several rebellions, Emperor Chongzhen sent troops to help. It's just that North Korea moved too fast and it was too late to save them.
Jin Sangxian originally thought that he must kneel down to reveal his true feelings, but after being supported by Lu Xiangsheng, he couldn't kneel down at all. He had to stand up, wiped his tears, and quickly agreed: "Don't worry, Lord Governor, tomorrow's soldiers are here So, I believe the king will be ecstatic when he hears this. As long as you have the support of adults, I will never surrender to Jianlu again!"
This Ming army was the most elite Ming army he had ever seen. It staged a one-sided battle right in front of him, which naturally gave him endless confidence.
Lu Xiangsheng was still satisfied with Kim Sang-heon's statement. If North Korea falls back to the Ming Dynasty, it will be a very important chess piece for isolating and attacking the rebels.
With this in mind, he waved his hand to his men to fetch a war horse, and then asked Jin Sangxian: "Can Sir, can you still ride a horse? How about inspecting the battlefield with me?"
"Your Excellency has a destiny, how can we violate it!" When Jin Shangxian said this, his face suddenly turned red, and then he stuttered, "It's just...just..."
Lu Xiangsheng felt a little strange when he saw it. After looking at it carefully, he understood it in his heart. He couldn't help but smile and said: "It doesn't matter, I will go first, and the boss will come over later!"
After finishing speaking, he jumped onto his horse vigorously and left first.
Watching him leave, Jin Sangxian was relieved, but also extremely grateful. This made him feel that the governor was very kind and could think of his subordinates. Otherwise, it would be too rude for him to say that he wanted to go to the toilet in person!
Not long after, Jin Sangxian followed Lu Xiangsheng on horseback. He was right behind Lu Xiangsheng, silently watching Lu Xiangsheng patrolling the battlefield and watching the Ming army build the battlefield.
For Jin Sangxian that this battle could be fought like this, he would be surprised that the combat power of the Ming army was so powerful that even the Jianlu were unable to fight back. But as the commander-in-chief, Lu Xiangsheng knew that the fact that the battle could be fought like this was definitely not a reflection of the strength of both sides. Instead, the news from Lin Qingye recorded every move of this army, allowing Lu Xiangsheng to seize the best location and opportunity to attack.
If we want to say whether Jianlu lost the battle unjustly or not, in fact, there has never been such a thing as unjust or unjust on the battlefield. If you lose, you lose. There will be no chance to do it again.
Jianlu's cruelty is unpopular with the people. Although he can be tyrannical for a while, once he encounters a real opponent and his cruelty can no longer suppress everything, all the side effects will appear. For example, in this battle, North Korea provided sufficient intelligence to the Ming army.
Lu Xiangsheng was thinking about this. Looking along the way, they were all surrendered North Korean soldiers, and there was basically no money rat tail in sight.
It wasn't until about seven miles passed that I started to see the appearance of a money rat's tail. But they were all dead, and no one was alive.
Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help but be slightly surprised by this situation. Because before the war, he had explicitly requested that if Jianlu could be captured alive, he should be captured alive. This was an imperial edict.
However, even so, I didn't see a living Money Rat Tail, which explains a lot of problems. It's not that the Ming army didn't want to capture them alive, but that Jianlu never thought of surrendering.
Think about it, the hatred between Jianlu and Ming Dynasty is higher than the sky and deeper than the sea. In the eyes of any Jianlu, even if they want to surrender, the Ming army will definitely not let them go. It would be better to die fighting than to do this.
Lu Xiangsheng thought so, but Kim Sangxian was different. When he saw the money rats lying dead on the road, he couldn't help but clicked his tongue and praised the Ming army for being invincible!
Seeing him like this, one of Lu Xiangsheng's personal guards couldn't help it and said to him calmly: "What is this? In the Battle of Tianjin at the beginning of last year, your Excellency led the army to a decisive battle with 100,000 captives, and killed 30,000 in one go. Jianlu, capture Gushan Ezhen and others with a white flag!"
Although this statement tells the result, it is actually a bit exaggerated. Lu Xiangsheng glanced sideways at his personal guard, but he didn't say anything. He thought to himself, it would be good to give the North Koreans more confidence!
This war was blocked by Huang Taiji in Liaodong, and few people knew about it, let alone North Korea.
Therefore, when Kim Sang-hyun first heard the news, he was immediately frightened. The Ming army fought a decisive battle with 100,000 Jianlu, and actually killed 30,000 Jianlu at once? This...this...this is really amazing!
After a while, Kim Sang-hyun came back to his senses and couldn't help but burst into tears again: The Ming army has become so powerful, it will not be difficult to destroy the Jianlu, and North Korea will finally be able to escape from the sea of suffering!
Lu Xiangsheng in front felt something was wrong when he heard the movement. When he turned around and saw Jin Sangxian like this, he felt that it was not good to scare the old man like him, so he said to Jin Sangxian: "Actually, it's not the case. As you think, those 30,000 soldiers are really not that powerful..."
What he actually wanted to say was that among the 30,000 built captives, although they were all money rats, most of them were fake Tatars and Mongolian Tatars, and only a small number were real Tatars.
However, when Kim Sang-hyun heard it, he misunderstood it again. The Governor himself said that the annihilation of 30,000 Jianqi was nothing. If he thought they were not strong, then... the Liaodong Jianqi must be not far from destruction!
As a result, he was so excited that tears and runny nose came down from his eyes and he couldn't stop it anymore. North Korea, which lives in the shadow of Jianlu, is finally free! My lord, did you hear that?
When Lu Xiangsheng saw this, he stopped explaining and let him forget it. Anyway, Lu Xiangsheng himself is very confident. With the wise and powerful emperor here, there will only be more and more victories over the Jianlu. Sooner or later, Liaodong will all be recovered.
In this way, Lu Xiangsheng walked in front, and Jin Sangxian was excited behind him, which made many Ming army soldiers look a little surprised. However, they had just won the battle, so they were all happy and did not dare to ask any questions.
Well, even if you are bullied by the Governor, there is still a reason for bullying, so don't worry about it.
After walking for a while, suddenly, a horse came galloping in front of him. He rolled his saddle and fell off the horse in front of Lu Xiangsheng. He clasped his fists and reported to Lu Xiangsheng: "Sir, there are still three hundred captives who have formed a formation to fight. Among them, Zhenying, who is Zhengbaiqi Gushan'e Erdai is in the formation, please decide, Lord Governor, whether he is still alive?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Xiangsheng frowned, immediately crossed his legs and started galloping. He wanted to go and see for himself.
The most fundamental purpose of coming in a hurry to ambush the Jianlu was actually to capture Ying Erdai. If possible, Lu Xiangsheng would certainly live.
After traveling for more than a mile, I saw that all the soldiers of the Ming army were here, with several levels inside and outside, tightly surrounding a bunch of captives. The nearby North Korean prisoners had all been escorted away from a distance.
Seeing Lu Xiangsheng's arrival, Li Dingguo hurriedly greeted him and reported to Lu Xiangsheng: "Sir, these captives refused to surrender and resisted to the end. At the beginning, the general followed your orders and tried to catch as many as possible alive. But many were injured. Comrades, therefore, the general can only order the recalcitrant captives to be shot. But among the largest group of captives, there is Ying Erdai..."
After listening to Li Dingguo's report, Lu Xiangsheng roughly understood what happened.
Fortunately, this group of thousands of soldiers was dispersed by the Korean soldiers. After the Ming army caught up, they only resisted in groups of dozens. They were all surrounded by the superior Ming army and then shot to death. Even on several occasions, artillery was used and shotguns were fired nearby to eliminate the Jianlu who were fighting to the death.
The largest group of Jianlu now has as many as three hundred people. Although they are heavily surrounded by the superior Ming army, if they want to capture this Jianlu, if they attack hard, the Ming army will definitely suffer a lot of casualties. It was also the case that Li Dingguo wanted to use artillery bombardment again, and directly bombarded the formation of prisoners. However, Ying Erdai is in this formation.
Understanding the whole story, Lu Xiangsheng approached on horseback, and the surrounding Ming army immediately made way for the governor to come to the front.
From a high position, Lu Xiangsheng could see clearly after getting closer. I saw these Jianluo all with ferocious faces, staring at the Ming army with fierce eyes. The Jianlu on the outermost layer protected the military formation with long shields. From the gaps in the shields, spear heads shining with cold light were exposed.
These Jianlu, without exception, all wore iron armor, and many of them even wore several layers of armor.
The military formation is circular with a hollow center. You can see the leader of the Jianlu, Ying Erdai, being protected by several Jianlu and others, right here.
After seeing this situation clearly, Lu Xiangsheng shouted loudly: "I am the Governor of Baoding in the Ming Dynasty. I order you to put down your weapons and surrender on the spot, otherwise you will be killed without mercy!"
Hearing this, all Jianlu's eyes couldn't help but look at Lu Xiangsheng. Surprise, very surprise.
Only then did Ying Erdai realize that his opponent, the Ming army coach who had beaten him to the point where he was unable to fight back, was actually the Governor of Baoding of the Ming Dynasty!
As Gushan Ezhen of Zhengbai Banner, of course he had learned about the situation in the pass from brothers Dorgon and Duoduo, and knew that Lu Xiangshengsheng was a very capable person in the Ming Dynasty. I didn't expect that I would be defeated in his hands. I saw it with my own eyes, and it was indeed very powerful. To be honest, at the first glance, Ying Erdai admired Lu Xiangsheng a little.
But admiration is still admiration, but now he is an enemy. I heard him respond sternly in Ming Dynasty Mandarin in the formation: "There are only Qing warriors who died in battle, there are no Qing cowards who surrendered on their knees!"
Almost at the same time, a white-armored soldier next to him suddenly threw a flying ax at Lu Xiangsheng with all his strength.
Lu Xiangsheng stepped forward, and of course he would not be so stupid as to be so close to the Jianlu army formation. But even so, if he was suddenly attacked by the enemy's white-armored soldiers, it would probably be a surprise to ordinary people.
But who is Lu Xiangsheng! He didn't even need his personal guards to come forward to protect him. He just pulled out his sword and knocked down the flying ax with a "dang" sound. The whole process was smooth and very smooth.
This scene happened to be seen by Jin Sangxian, who had just arrived.
