Chapter 1043: Sources of Military Spending


Chongzhen and Cao Huachun recruited troops here, and conspired with Donglin to create public opinion, preparing to calculate Lu Hanqiang, and Lu Hanqiang was on the way to Zunhua, equipped with the calculation of Huang Taiji, and on the way, he happened to receive the emperor's holy decree of King Qin, and this time the dispatch of troops was justified.

As for the eunuch, the serious consequences of being able to meet Lu Hanqiang in Shanhaiguan are just tacitly laughed at by everyone.

And for Lu Hanqiang, this holy decree is just a step for himself, in fact, you let me come, I came, you didn't let me come, I also came, this time it is definitely not the first time the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the Kou, looking forward and backward, to put it bluntly, I no longer go to fight for your Emperor Chongzhen, but for this Han family.

Sending off the eunuch who had a lot of income, Lu Hanqiang sat at the table, unfolded the map, and then compared it with the surrounding terrain, confirmed his location, and said to the little fat man: "At the three-way intersection of Funing in front, the one to the north leads to Zunhua, and the one to the west leads to the Beijing Division, I think, since the Military Aircraft Department and the emperor let Guan Ning Tie ride to defend the Beijing Division, then let's break up from here." ” The little fat man looked left and right, and then lowered his voice and said: "The 3,000 clan soldiers given by Zu Dashou this time, not to mention his combat strength, but this is a hostage in our hands, how can it be easily released?"

Lu Hanqiang said indifferently: "When our Jin Hengguang column occupies Shanhaiguan, I think the smart ancestor Dashou will not dare to act rashly, he should be honest, in our villa in Huludao Port to recuperate, and these 3,000 soldiers stay by my side, but I can't rest assured, after the battle of Gyeonggi, now I no longer believe in any other teammates who have nothing to do with me, or let them complete their mission, go to Jingshi to calm people's hearts, I don't want to fight the enemy with all my might, I had an uncertain knife behind me against my soft underbelly. ” This is called being bitten by a snake for ten years and afraid of the well rope, but the other armies of the Ming Dynasty are indeed so unreassuring, instead of worrying about them all day long, it is really better to let them go directly to the capital, although it is useless, but it can play a role in stabilizing the people's hearts, now the entire land of Gyeonggi can not be chaotic, stability is the foundation of everything, only Gyeonggi does not have a tragedy like the last time, the people will complain much less about Lu Hanqiang, and there will be no Chongzhen to kill Yuan Chonghuan, and the whole world agrees with the happening.

Winning the hearts and minds of the people and isolating Chongzhen is also a step for Lu Hanqiang to take.

"But in case the emperor summons you to Beijing, these 3,000 Guanning iron horses are used by the emperor, aren't you dangerous" The little fat man's worry is not unreasonable, after all, Guanning iron horses and servants have been raised for many years, even if he is an iron man, he can survive with countless money and food, and he can be somewhat loyal, Chongzhen recruited Lu Hanqiang to enter Beijing to ask for guilt, this is already a sure thing, if Lu Hanqiang enters Beijing, there are originally five hundred dead soldiers who have been arranged early, and 10,000 Beijing camps are not a problem at all.

But now the dark tide is surging in the capital, and if you add this wavering Guanning Iron Horse, Lu Hanqiang's safety is really dangerous, so the little fat man put forward this key suggestion.

Lu Hanqiang frowned and thought for a while, and then resolutely rejected the little fat man's proposal, "What you said is not unreasonable, but I think that even if the emperor has these 3,000 iron horses in his hands, it may not be able to play any role, not to mention how effective it is, I think that the old fox ancestor Dashou, when they come out, there will definitely be an admonition, the lesser of two evils, it is better to let them stay away from me, besides, if he is mixed into my army, it will be considered unjustifiable, Give people some handle for no reason. ” Then he looked at the worried little fat man, "But the situation you said may also occur, then I might as well do a better job, and after a while, I will send someone to inform our manpower in the capital, and release some rumors, specifically for this Guan Ning Tie Cavalry, with this rumor, I don't believe Chongzhen's suspicious ghost, and dare to let Guan Ning Tie ride into Beijing." ” "This method is good, the emperor is suspicious, as long as the rumors are released, he will definitely be fooled, and he will not dare to reuse the Guanning Iron Horse, not only will he not dare to use it with confidence, but there may also be a full vigilance against him, distracting some of the power in the hands of the emperor."

Lu Hanqiang nodded: "Of course, these rumors can't be too much, if they are too much, they may backfire, we will tell Chongzhen the real thing, this army is with me Lu Hanqiang, let Chongzhen ponder the rest of the things that take his brains to analyze." ” The large army continued to move forward, and when they arrived at Funing County, Yongping Prefecture, Lu Hanqiang found Zu Kuan, who was led by Guanning Iron Cavalry, and told him that the two sides broke up here and asked him to go to the capital to King Qin.

This is a very glorious and real thing, the so-called merit is not higher than King Qin, a small guerrilla general like him, he never wants to see the emperor's appearance in this life, let alone attract the emperor's attention, and this time he rushed to the capital with 3000 iron horses, which is the first Qinwang army to rush to Beijing, the emperor will definitely give an audience, since the emperor has received, of course, there must be a reward, and according to the stingy habits of Emperor Chongzhen, you must not give real money, but give those flashy ranks, And what he lacks is an official, so a general can't run.

So this Zu Kuan gladly accepted this arrangement, took his 3,000 elite soldiers, and went to Beijing overnight.

As a result, Lu Hanqiang's army had just settled down outside the city of Funing, and was ready to buy grain and grass from the local royal post house to supplement military supplies, but the shopkeeper of the local business house hurriedly ran out of the city to ask for a meeting with the co-organizer, and handed Lu Hanqiang an urgent letter sealed with fire paint.

Lu Hanqiang encouraged the boss of the firm, and then observed that the fire paint had not changed, so he turned around and opened it.

This is the information sent by Wang Fang overnight, and the content of the information made Lu Hanqiang shocked and regretted.

Shockingly, Chongzhen began to take out a huge amount of money and food, recruited 20,000 elite soldiers from the royal family, filled the Beijing camp, and trained hard by the eunuch Cao Huachun day and night, the purpose of which was quite obvious, that is, to target Lu Hanqiang.

At the same time, in the Jingcheng well, there have been rumors of public opinion that Lu Hanqiang is unfavorable to various teams, and it seems that they are preparing public opinion for the defeat of Lu Hanqiang.

This information made Lu Hanqiang immediately alert, and began to waver in his original decision, carefully analyzing whether he would return to Beijing, or whether he would need to bring a team of people after returning to Beijing.

There is also news that makes him regret that Wang Chengen dissuaded Emperor Chongzhen from taking action against Lu Hanqiang, and had hanged himself on the coal mountain the day before yesterday.

For Wang Chengen's death, Lu Hanqiang is still quite sad, although the dead eunuch is greedy for money, but his character is definitely not bad, and he has been dating for nearly ten years, between himself and Chongzhen, he has done a lot of work with mud, now that he thinks about it, he has once again walked towards his fate, which is really a sigh. t1706231537:
