Chapter 435
The person Geng Zhongming finally sent to contact Daming was his confidant, Chen Shaozong.It was also his subordinate when he was in the original Dongjiang Army, so he was naturally very familiar with everything about the Dongjiang Army.

When he boarded Guanglu Island by boat, the soldiers of the Ming army didn't let him cover his head, he just let him watch.

Revisiting the old place, although Chen Shaozong didn't speak, he had mixed feelings.

On the sea surface of Guanglu Island, the ships of the Daming Navy patrolled past from time to time.When they meet each other, they will happily say hello.Although many people speak with a southern Hokkien accent, it is the official Mandarin of Ming Dynasty, which sounds kind and friendly.

The wharf of Guanglu Island is many times better than what he had imagined. The warships and transport ships of the Ming Dynasty are parked there, occupying a large area. With the undulations of the waves, they silently show the life of the Ming Dynasty. The strength of the navy.

On the pier, groups of Ming troops were patrolling back and forth, and some Ming troops were carrying supplies, or continuing to expand the pier. In short, groups of familiar mandarin duck shirts were working in an orderly manner.

Chen Shaozong discovered that none of the soldiers of the Ming army were as pale and emaciated as he had imagined, nor were there piles of people lying dead on the beach, waiting for the tide to recede to pick up some seafood.Seeing all this, to be honest, he felt a little jealous in his heart: the Dongjiang Army in the past really couldn't be called an army, but a Huaziwo, but what he saw in front of him was the real army!
After landing on the shore, Chen Shaozong and the Yebushou who brought him here were inspected by a general flag from the Governor's Mansion.He immediately nodded and bowed, and with a charming smile, he immediately handed over a piece of broken silver and said, "My lord, please take care of me!"

When the general flag saw it, he refused without hesitation. He stared at Chen Shaozong's head and said: "Put your tricks away, under the command of the governor, you don't like this!"

Whether it is in the original Dongjiang Army or Jianlu, it will always be easier to do things if you send some money.However, the general flag with a Qin accent in front of him broke his long-standing concept and made him stunned for a while.

"That's right, this is not the former Dongjiang Army, just follow the Governor's rules." Ye Bushou saw it, and said proudly, "Of course you will be rewarded for meritorious service, so feel at ease!"

When he came back to his senses, Chen Shaozong quickly nodded in agreement, but he put a question mark in his heart, who in this world doesn't love money?
There was no problem in the inspection, so Chen Shaozong followed the general banner and left.

On the way, he saw groups of soldiers training meticulously, shouting kills with great vigor, and it could be seen that their mental state was very good.This makes me a little suspicious. Could it be that he knew that he was coming, so he chose the best Ming army to perform here?
As if he knew what he was thinking, the general flag said to him as he walked: "I heard that you used to belong to the Dongjiang Army. Look at the Dongjiang Army today, isn't it different? Tell you, these are the new troops, and they are in Pyongyang." The new army was added after the war. Some of them are Koreans, some of them are Ming people who fled from Liaodong, and they all demanded to kill the captives for revenge. Your money rat tail will cause trouble here, you better wear a hat Already!"

Hearing this, he subconsciously touched his head, and couldn't help but smile wryly in his heart. If it was possible, why would he be willing to deal with this money rat tail and abandon his ancestors!
Chen Shaozong then went to see the soldiers who were training. When he got closer, he could see that these new army soldiers were indeed different from those on the dock.

Although wearing helmets, it can be seen that many people should be bald.Also, although their mental state machines are very good, it may be seen that none of them are strong because they have not eaten well for a long time.But now, every time they swung their knives or stabbed their spears, they were very imposing.Someone saw his money mouse tail, and all of them suddenly looked fierce.However, they were training, and no one dared to stop what they were doing.

Finally, after walking for a while, we arrived at the Governor's Palace.

Chen Shaozong recognized this place as the original government office of the guard of Guanglu Island.It can be seen that it should have been burned before, and some traces can be seen.He could guess that when Shang Kexi robbed all the people on the island and took them to the Qing Dynasty, they burned them.

Today, the mansion has only been refurbished hastily, and no expansion has been carried out on the original basis.

This made Chen Shaozong really a little surprised. Logically speaking, this place has become the residence of the governor of Baoding, so it should be expanded to be very imposing!Otherwise, where does the prestige of the governor come from?
but……

Looking at the old mansion in front of him, he really couldn't figure it out, so he asked the general flag curiously: "Your Excellency, do you live here?"

Chen Shaozong's meaning was obvious, and he didn't even need to explain it clearly. The General Banner understood what he meant.

Indeed, generally speaking, the specifications of government offices are all built in Dali, and there must be guarded by stone lions at the entrance, so that people will feel awe when they look at them.

But obviously, Lu Xiangsheng's official office is not the case.

Hearing the questioning, the general flag said proudly: "The Governor-General explained that it is not easy to send the imperial court supplies to Dongjiang, so we must first use other places, such as military camps, private houses, etc. The Governor-General said, first let Only when the soldiers live well can they fight a good battle; let those suffering people of Ming Dynasty have a safe place, and that is what Daming owes them..."

When he said this, he was happy when he saw Chen Shaozong's stunned expression, and he added: "And the Governor often goes to the barracks to eat and live with ordinary Ming soldiers. The Dongjiang Army has the Governor. , Liaodong will be restored sooner or later, don’t you think?”

"Yes, yes, yes!" Chen Shaozong nodded again and again, but soon came back to his senses, and couldn't help but let out an "ah".

At this time, he was very shocked.In his opinion, the officials of Ming Dynasty, especially those civil servants, who are not the ones whose nostrils stick up to the sky, are kind to the big soldiers who can speak normally.

However, according to the General Banner, it is hard for him to imagine that a big official like the governor of Baoding would eat and live with the big soldiers!Even a military officer can't do this!

He always felt that this was impossible, but what he saw seemed to tell him, yes, this must be true.

So, he didn't even know how he got into the governor's mansion, and how did he meet the governor?

Only when he saw the red scarlet robe official sitting on the main seat in the lobby, Chen Shaozong shook his sleeves subconsciously, and then he saw the official frowning, and he came back to his senses. Immediately, he was very embarrassed and quickly changed his mind. Wei clasped his fists and said: "The former Dongjiang Army Deputy General Geng has thousands of households, the sinner Chen Shaozong, please see the governor!"

Lu Xiangsheng didn't guess that Geng Zhongming sent someone to contact him because he meant to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, so he just asked in a cold voice: "Now you have betrayed the Ming and turned to Jiancap. You are an enemy, not a friend, but you are here to fight ?”

"Don't dare!" Chen Shaozong heard this and quickly explained, "Your Excellency, you have misunderstood. The sinner and Deputy General Geng defected to Jianlu because they had no choice. Jianlu was cruel and treated me like a pig or a dog. These are human beings." As we all know. Now that I heard that your Excellency has rebuilt the Dongjiang Army, Vice General Geng is willing to return to the Ming Dynasty and kill Jianlu to take revenge!"

After speaking, he took out a letter and presented it with both hands.

My own guards picked it up and passed it to Lu Xiangsheng.

This letter was written by Geng Zhongming, and the meaning is similar to what Chen Shaozong said. It was nothing more than a deep blood feud with Jianlu. It was really a last resort to surrender Jianlu before. By the way, he explained what happened back then in the letter to explain his helplessness.Then, he flattered Lu Xiangsheng either openly or secretly, knowing that Lu Xiangsheng was a fair man, a rare upright and good official in Ming Dynasty, so he was willing to return to Daming.

In the end, he also said that he is currently in charge of Phoenix Castle and is willing to bring the city home, but he needs Lu Xiangsheng's leadership to support him, and by the way, he can solve the Jianlu of Zhenjiang Fort together.

Lu Xiangsheng looked at this letter, he remained calm on the surface, but he was very happy in his heart.

If you can win Phoenix Castle and Zhenjiang Fort, you can directly threaten Shenyang without taking down Haizhou City, without attacking Tiandan Anshan Post Fort, or the important town of Liaoyang.Or if you don't fight Shenyang, you can also threaten the place where Jianlu ruled behind Shenyang.No matter what, Jianlu is a knife in his heart.

Even if there is a problem, you can go down the Yalu River and return to the sea.It can be said that it is a good place to advance and attack, and to retreat and defend.

After reading it, Lu Xiangsheng put down the letter, looked at the expectant Chen Shaozong, and said lightly, "How can I believe it?"

"As long as the governor can ask the Emperor of Ming Dynasty to pardon the crimes of Vice General Geng and other people who have gone astray, the officials will be reinstated and will not be held accountable. Then Vice General Geng would like to find an opportunity to visit the island in person to show his sincerity!" Chen Shaozong hurriedly He said what Geng Zhongming told him.

After he finished speaking, he looked at Lu Xiangsheng expectantly, and because of the anticipation, he felt a little more apprehensive.

Not everyone is like Fan Wencheng, who knows how to forget his ancestors and devotes himself to doing things for Jianlu.As far as Chen Shaozong is concerned, like Geng Zhongming, he is a Han from Liaodong, and he has a blood feud with Jianlu.If it is possible, if there is hope, he certainly does not want to live servilely in front of his enemies every day.

That's why, when Geng Zhongming found him and told him about it, he was overjoyed, and immediately agreed without thinking about it.

After Lu Xiangsheng heard this, he pondered for a moment, and then slowly said: "If Geng Zhongming sincerely repents, and is willing to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and dedicate Phoenix Castle and Zhenjiang Fort, I can ask the emperor to agree to his request."

Upon hearing this, Chen Shaozong couldn't help being overjoyed, and quickly assured that Vice General Geng was absolutely sincerely repentant.Afterwards, he talked about the past between Geng Zhongming and himself, those relatives who were killed by Jianlu, and his eyes were red when he talked about the sadness.Finally, he said to Lu Xiangsheng: "To be honest, my lord, since I surrendered to the Jian captives, I often wake up from nightmares, dreaming that my dead relatives are coming to claim my life. By the way, it is said that Shang Kexi met before he died, the sinner Listen, many people are scared when they find out about this!"

Hearing this, Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help but feel happy.That's why he sent Ban Zhifu and the others back in the first place, to let them know what happened to Shang Kexi before he died.So far, it seems to be very effective.

But on the surface, Lu Xiangsheng still clasped his fists seriously, and said to the direction of the capital: "The emperor is wise, he has personally led the army to wipe out more than [-] people from Tashan Jianlu, and captured Dorgon, the slave chieftain; The rest of them captured the slave chieftains Jierhalang and Azige alive. I believe that it won’t be long before Ming Dynasty will recover Liaodong. Let Dorgon and Azige go back to warn Huang Taiji, this is the confidence of the emperor!"

Chen Shaozong was a little stunned when he heard it, and after a little hesitation, he still couldn't help asking: "My lord governor, that... that Azig was also sent back by the emperor, didn't he escape by himself?"

Huang Taiji couldn't keep the battle of Guihua City a secret, so he naturally announced it.As for Azige's escape, what he told Huang Taiji was naturally known to everyone.At this time, there was a deviation from what Lu Xiangsheng said, so he couldn't help but ask.

After Lu Xiangsheng heard this, he knew that Azig was probably not telling the truth.He had already received a copy of the briefing from Guihua City, so he naturally knew what had happened, so he flipped it off the desk, found it, and handed it to his personal guard, and said at the same time: "Then Azig has no bones, and he begged for mercy." I killed Jierhalang to show my sincerity in surrendering to the Ming Dynasty, and then said I was willing to return to Liaodong to assassinate Huang Taiji, so the emperor let him go."

Chen Shaozong was shocked when he heard that, Jierhalang was killed by Azige?He took the memorial and quickly looked at it.

However, he immediately came to his senses, he was illiterate!
However, this did not prevent him from looking again, as if this could confirm the authenticity of this matter.

Lu Xiangsheng watched him take down the briefing, but he didn't say anything, just said to him: "I will report this matter to the emperor, and I hope Geng Zhongming will not disappoint me. In addition, I want the detailed military situation of Liaodong. If he is sincere, he will collect it and send it over."

"Okay, don't worry, my lord, we are sincere, and there will be absolutely no problems." Upon hearing this, Chen Shaozong quickly made a guarantee for Geng Zhongming.

Lu Xiangsheng was not moved by his guarantee, but added a reminder: "There is a Jinyiwei secret agent in Liaodong, I believe you have heard of it. If I let the official find out that the news sent by Geng Zhongming is false, I will find out Flaws, the consequences don't need to be said by me!"

"No, no!" After hearing this, Chen Shaozong quickly denied it, fearing that Lu Xiangsheng would go back on his word.

Therefore, Lu Xiangsheng wrote a memorial, and even read it to Chen Shaozong himself, and then ordered his personal guards to send it to the capital immediately by fast boat.

Chen Shaozong was full of joy when he saw it, and before leaving, he asked Lu Xiangsheng: "My lord, can this briefing be taken away by the sinner, so that Vice General Geng can also see it, so as to pay homage to the majesty's brilliance?"

After hearing this, Lu Xiangsheng knew what his purpose was, and agreed without saying anything.

 Theoretically, there is another chapter in the evening, if it is too late, it will only be tomorrow.Because if I want to update a chapter at night, I have to write 4000+2000 words. The extra 2000 words and the [-] words written when I wake up tomorrow morning will be combined into one chapter and published in the morning.
