According to the general situation of the Ming army, if you die in battle, the army will collapse, and if you die in battle, you will collapse, so Lu Hanqiang's troops are still completely guarding Liangxiang, in fact, according to the current view, it is simply a miracle.
"But after all, you still have an army of 30,000 in your hands, this is a strong army, and it should never be retreated in the good country, but should take the initiative to attack, one can fight the Jiannu, the other can encourage the army of the king of Qin in various places, and the third can stabilize the hearts of the people of the country, and hope to read and encourage it."
Then he stood in front of the window and looked at the sky outside the Forbidden City: "There are hundreds of thousands of refugees in the capital, Cao Huachun said, there are hundreds of people who die of hunger every day, all of them are the people of the Ming Dynasty, and my heart is miserable, and this is all February, and if the siege of the capital is not lifted, the people will miss the agricultural time, and this year will be completely wasted."
This is also where Chongzhen is anxious, so he needs Lu Hanqiang to fight a decisive battle with Jiannu as soon as possible to relieve the siege of Jingshi.
For the current situation, Lu Hanqiang is also worried, but he is powerless, for Lu Hanqiang's current difficulties, Chongzhen directly ignored it, and still asked him to send troops between words.
At this time, he had forgotten the ending of Mangui at the beginning, and it was because of his and the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military urges that Mangui and his army were pushed to the point of destruction.
Lu Hanqiang crossed his fingers and explained to Chongzhen: "Now there is no cavalry in the hands of the ministers, only the infantry is left, and the infantry is naturally short of cavalry, and besides, if my infantry attacks, judging from the two battles just now, especially the battle of Xiaoxishan, there are fewer troops, and they can only be annihilated, which is a joke about the lives of the soldiers, and if there are more troops, the action will be slower, and it is possible to be besieged by the swarming Jiannu, and the whole army can be wiped out overnight." ” Chongzhen proposed: "Your guards are just strong because of the abundance of money and food, if the follow-up of one million silver, one million grain is transported and distributed to those Qinwang army, then they also have the same combat effectiveness as the companion If so, the nearly 100,000 Qinwang army in the hands of Sun Gebu, plus your 30,000 horses, this can be a battle." ” In Chongzhen's view, as long as there is enough money and food, then a strong army will become self-contained, which is also the reason that Yuan Chonghuan gave Chongzhen every time he asked for money and food over the years, and as a result, this reason completely poisoned Chongzhen and made him think that a strong army can be achieved quickly.
Lu Hanqiang said again: "A strong army is not just money and food, for example, I was ordered to rectify the guards, first take out a large part of my disaster relief money and food, first cut off all the original military households that have been unusable, and then recruit the homeless people who dare to fight, and the physically strong are newly formed, and they have also undergone strict training, just the simple action of stabbing out the spear every day, each person has to do nearly a thousand times a day, so it is close to two months before it is effective." ” Thousands of times a day, which made Chongzhen very confused, according to the rules of the Ming Dynasty, the regular forbidden army only had a small exercise every five days, and only a big exercise every ten days, and the Qi family army that was powerful in the world back then was only a drill every three days.
It's not that I don't want to practice every day, but because this kind of exercise requires a lot of money and food, and if you can't eat enough, you can't practice if you don't eat well, which is common sense.
After thinking for a while, Chongzhen gritted his teeth and said, "If I take out a part of the three million silver and one million grains I stored in the companion reading place and give it to the Jingying, then the 200,000 Jingying will be able to fight a decisive battle with Jiannu if it is dispatched again." ” It seems that what Lu Hanqiang said has not shaken Chongzhen's eagerness for a decisive battle, and he has begun to use the inventory that Zhou Tingru wants to use.
Anyway, Lu Hanqiang blindly reasoned with the facts, hoping to delay the war, and Chongzhen, no matter how Lu Hanqiang explained, was to force Lu Hanqiang to fight, and finally Chongzhen waved his hand impatiently: "Lu Banyu, tomorrow Sun Gebu will also enter Beijing, when the time comes, you and Sun Gebu will discuss the use of money and grain, and discuss the war against Jiannu, spring is about to begin, and you can't wait to delay spring ploughing."
Then he said with a smile: "That's it, it's not early, you can also see your mother and Ruyu." ” After all the words are said here, Lu Hanqiang can't say anything anymore, if he insists on being steady, then Chongzhen will be furious, and Yuan Chonghuan's fate will not be far from him.
Farewell, was taken into a side hall by the little eunuch, just entered the door, saw the mother sitting on an embroidered pier, like rain standing behind her, the mother and the two looked anxiously looking forward to it.
As soon as he entered the threshold, Lu Hanqiang fell to his knees, slowly knocked his head on the ground, and without saying a word, his shoulders shrugged and cried bitterly.
Seeing her son, who had not seen her for nearly a year, the old lady burst into tears, and slowly walked to Lu Hanqiang with the support of pear blossoms and rain, squatted down, gently stroked her son's head with her withered hands, and cried speechlessly, and the three mothers cried silently.
After a long time, Lu Hanqiang raised his teary eyes and squeezed out an ugly smile: "Mother, my son is back." ” The old lady pulled up Lu Hanqiang, crying and laughing, and said: "It's good to come back, it's good to come back, let my mother see if she's thin or fat."
So, Lu Hanqiang opened his hands and turned a few times in front of his mother.
The mother said distressedly: "It's much thinner and darker than when I left, but it's stronger and more energetic, it's good, it's good." ” After the two of them finished speaking, Lu Hanqiang took Ruyu's hand and just looked at each other silently, and then Lu Hanqiang said softly: "Thank you for your hard work."
In just five words, a stubborn rain burst into tears again, staring at Lu Hanqiang tightly, as if he wanted to see the hardships in every wind and frost on his face.
Chongzhen was very considerate and sent a table of imperial banquet, the dishes and grades are much higher than those in the study, a family of three sat around the table while eating and talking, but there are many taboos in the conversation, because there are no less than thirty palace eunuchs around, how do you know how many ears and eyes here are wrong words and words are a catastrophe, and now the three of them seem to be reunited, in fact, this is no different from visiting the prison.
Of course, Lu Hanqiang can only say that he is good, as the so-called good news is not reported, his mother can only say that she is good, and constantly thanks the emperor's grace.
Finally, seeing that it was getting late, Lu Hanqiang reluctantly said to his mother: "My son is in the middle of a war abroad, and I have to ask my mother to stay in the palace for a while, so that I can fight with peace of mind." ” The mother said happily: "Mother and Ruyu have been taken care of by the emperor's mother, and they have also talked happily with several old concubines who are very old, which is also a rare joy for many years, so you can rest assured that you will be loyal to the emperor and kill the enemy outside."
Then he said, "When my mother also listened to the emperor and the old concubines, I knew that my son had a strong army in hand, and he broke the slaves. ” Lu Hanqiang smiled bitterly, this is Chongzhen taking a curved route.
But what can I say to my mother can only be a promise.
Niangsan said goodbye again, and was even more reluctant, walking out of the palace gate, Lu Hanqiang looked at the tall and gloomy Forbidden City, and his heart was panicked, but what can he do to be weak, this is his weakness, and he was pinched to death by Chongzhen.
