Chapter 104

This Jinzhou magistrate is obviously a capable person, and he was able to organize the people to guard against it. For so many days, it has been five days. It just made the Qing army sigh at Jinzhou Wangcheng, and there is no hope of defeating it.

Jiazhuang was not captured, and Jinzhou could not be defeated. This continuous failure, I have to say, was indeed a blow to the high morale of the Manchu army, and Dorgon had to be depressed.

As for Lu Xiangsheng's side, it's still the same, it can't be destroyed, it can't be driven away, just a stick of brown sugar.

Dorgon considered again and again, but decided to give up Jinzhou and stop spending time here.Whether it's time, materials, etc., he can't afford it.

Watching the Manchu Qing army break out of camp and leave, there was a loud cheer from above the city of Jinzhou.The mighty Manchu army ran away in despair!
The people were cheering, while the country squires gathered around Chen Hongxu, the magistrate, and congratulated the magistrate with joy, and congratulated each other at the same time!
With a smile on his face, Chen Hongxu looked at the dust brought up by the departure of the Manchu army, and looked in the direction of the capital, but he didn't feel much joy in his heart.

Now Jinzhou is holding on, but his personal future is clouded by the previous events.

After all, there are careful people among the squires, and they sensed Chen Hongxu's worry. Immediately, he clasped his fists and said, "Don't worry, my lord. Nowadays, all official affairs are done with money. Lu Mou is willing to give 1000 taels of silver. Everyone, please join me. The capital's hometown activities, keep your lord safe!"

Hearing this, the high and excited emotions immediately cooled down as if a wave of cold water had been poured on them.The other country gentry also offered comforting words one after another, saying how much money you gave, and how much money he gave, all expressing that they would contribute money to work for Chen Hongxu.

They meant one thing: Chen Hongxu offended the chief assistant for Jinzhou, and now that Jinzhou is defending, the people of Jinzhou will naturally repay him.Otherwise, if the city is broken, the whole city will be destroyed!

But having said that, after all, Chen Hongxu offended the head of civil servants, the chief assistant of Ming Dynasty, and no one knew whether the money they collected was enough to protect Chen Hongxu.

Chen Hongxu himself seemed calm, and said to them with a smile: "Thank you all. If I do it again, I will still choose this way. For the sake of Jinzhou, I have a clear conscience!"

Hearing this, the Jinzhou squires were moved for a moment, and when they were about to say something, Chen Hongxu suddenly sighed and said: "Actually, I hope that the court can make decisions impartially, not talk about money, and not do things because of personal gains and losses. , my Ming Dynasty can make the country peaceful and the people safe!"

Hearing this, the squires fell silent.How could Master Zhizhou's wish come true!Up and down the imperial court, they all talk about money now!

As for Guotai Minan?Thinking of this word, looking at the abandoned corpses of the two Tartars outside the city, and looking at the remaining traces of the battlefield, everyone can only sigh in their hearts, the sight of the end of the world, the prosperity of the country and the safety of the people are just a luxury!

In the original history, after the siege of Jinzhou was relieved, the imperial court sent Jin Yiwei to arrest Chen Hongxu and put him in prison.In the end, thanks to the Jinzhou squires raising money and entrusting the fellow villagers of the capital to use the money for activities, Chen Hongxu was saved, and he was exonerated and demoted to a second-level transfer.

In the evening, the Ming army's night refusal increased significantly, and their hooves rumbled from time to time, chasing in the direction where the Manchu and Qing troops left.

On the top of the city, although they were still on guard, they were relieved to see the Ming army appearing so frequently at night.Some squires even thought of a way.

"I have heard for a long time that Lu Shangshu is just and honest, and he is also my Ming's main combat faction. When he leads the army, I will avenge my lord!"

"Yes, it is understandable for your lord to defend the city and reject the first assistant. Lu Shangshu will definitely speak for you."

"..."

Of course, some people don't think so.

"Lu Shangshu himself is up and down, and the Manchu army is not easy to fight. He doesn't know what will happen in the end, let alone take care of others!"

"That's right, Lu Shangshu also has political enemies in the court, right? What if the Manchu Qing army takes down some other city, maybe they will be convicted for it!"

"..."

Regarding their remarks, Chen Hongxu didn't comment on them, but just watched the Ming army rushing past outside the city without taking them in at night, and he understood it very well.Regardless of the fact that Lu Xiangsheng is now the Minister of the Ministry of War, commanding the Qin King Army in the world, it seems that he has a lot of power in his hands.But in fact, this is the most difficult job to do, and it is not likely that anyone will want to take this job.

The reason is very simple, the Manchu army is too powerful, the Ming army has almost no victory against the Manchu army!Under such a background, the responsibility of leading the army to fight the Manchu Qing army is very great.

Of course it is good to win, but the chances of losing are even greater!

If you stand still or don't fight, someone will impeach you for not doing enough to fight!
In a field battle with the Manchu Qing army, if he was defeated, if he did not die, then more people would impeach him for his incompetence!

Even if the Manchu Qing army took down other cities, someone would definitely impeach Lu Xiangsheng for his ineffective rescue!
Basically, unless Lu Xiangsheng wiped out all the [-] Manchu troops that entered the pass, he would definitely be impeached.

Therefore, Lu Xiangsheng's position is actually a thankless position.With Lu Xiangsheng's intelligence, he may not be unaware that under the current circumstances, this position is actually very hot, but he finally took it.

Thinking of these, Chen Hongxu couldn't help admiring the long-famous Lu Xiangsheng.

Lu Shangshu, such a responsible person regardless of personal gains and losses, is the real pillar of the Ming Dynasty!

The next day, Lu Xiangsheng led the army through Jinzhou but did not enter, and followed the Manchu army. The gentry in Jinzhou was very disappointed that they did not see Lu Shangshu.

However, Yang Tinglin, the quartermaster, was ordered by Lu Xiangsheng to enter Jinzhou City and come to see Chen Hongxu.

The two were extremely happy to see each other and clasped their fists.

"Shiye!"

"Boxiang!"

Chen Hongxu, courtesy name Shiye; Yang Tinglin, courtesy name Boxiang.The two of them have been friends for many years.

In the original history, the two were both in Nanchang, Jiangxi Province during the Jiashen national disaster.

Soon after the two met, Yang Tinglin personally rushed to the Chinese Army to meet Lu Xiangsheng and report the situation in Jinzhou.

Wang Chengen, who was listening at the side, couldn't help being very surprised, and immediately praised with a smile: "I didn't expect that a magistrate who was born in Juren would dare to refuse to be the chief assistant of the court. This is really courageous!"

Lu Xiangsheng nodded when he heard it, and said in a very pertinent comment: "He is a responsible person!"

Without hesitation, he immediately wrote a memorial and asked people to report it to the capital immediately.

And the day before this memorial arrived at the capital, Liu Yuliang, the chief assistant, heard that the Manchu army was running around like ghosts and ghosts. He was so frightened that he didn't dare to stay outside anymore, and hurriedly fled back to the capital, which is at least the safest place at the moment.

While thinking about how to return to the emperor, he would naturally not let go of the prefect of Jinzhou, Chen Hongxu who didn't give him face and "molested" him.

 Thanks for the reward of songshy500 starting coins!
