Chapter 376
"Haoge told the villain that the front line was short of manpower, and he was sent to Liaoyang to garrison." Qian Fugui continued to report the news he heard, "He will go outside the city early tomorrow morning to pick [-] Han slaves and go to Liaoyang together."

When Emperor Chongzhen saw the news, he hurriedly asked: "Hannu, are those Ming people who were looted to Liaodong this time?"

"Yes."

"They should have a bloody feud with Jianlu, right? Why do they still work for Jianlu? How can Jianlu trust them and use them?" Emperor Chongzhen was a little strange, so he continued to ask.

Qian Fugui looked at it, gave a wry smile, and then replied in his mind: "Group leader, you don't know how miserable those of us who have been looted are. Let's just put it this way, Jianlu's food is scarce now, and those Han slaves outside the city can only eat as much as they want every day." Can eat a little food, but also do farm work, people are starving to death every day!"

After a pause, as if recalling the past, Qian Fugui continued: "Now Jianlu conscripts, as long as you can be selected, you can not only eat, but also don't have to do heavy farm work in the cold field. As long as you want to live, there is no need You have to choose!"

"Besides, although they serve as soldiers for Jianlu, they are actually doing odd jobs. They do heavy physical work in the army. If necessary, Jianlu will let them be used as cannon fodder. Of course, there are surveillance at ordinary times. Only those who win Their trust will be transferred to the people of the Han Army Banner."

Seeing these words, Emperor Chongzhen fell silent.The Han people in Liaodong are really miserable!But the court is powerless for now.Or it was precisely because of the incompetence of the imperial court that there was no hope of recovering Liaodong, so that the Han people in Liaodong who had blood feuds with Jianlu lost hope, and finally had to help the tyrant to abuse and strengthen Jianlu's strength.

After a while, Emperor Chongzhen continued to chat with Qian Fugui in private, "How do you know the strength of the troops in Liaoyang?"

"This villain really doesn't know. The villain didn't accompany the army. Hauge let the villain stay in the mansion. If he has something to do, let the villain tell him. At the same time, let the villain tell him about the situation in Shenyang at any time." Qian Fugui replied.

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he clicked Gao Yingyuan's icon and chatted with him privately: "How is the garrison situation in Liaoyang?"

Gao Yingyuan was originally stationed in Liaoyang. Although he had gone out with Mang Gurtai at this time, he understood the deployment somewhat, so he answered Emperor Chongzhen in as much detail as possible.And according to Emperor Chongzhen's report of Qian Fugui, Gao Yingyuan discussed with his fifth brother Han and told Emperor Chongzhen their estimate: "It is very likely that Jianlu will spend time in Liaoyang's troops this time, otherwise he will not use it immediately. The Han people who were plundered to Liaodong in a few months. According to the practice of Jianlu, it is likely that there will be about [-] Jurchens left in Liaoyang, and about [-] Han troops. It is no problem to use them to control [-] Han slaves."

Liaoyang was the core city where the Ming Dynasty controlled Liaodong in the past. All important military and political units were located in Liaoyang. The city was tall and strong, and it was a strategically important place.In a place like this, it is impossible for Jianlu to have no troops.

"Your Majesty, your subordinates and Han Wuge believe that Jianlu from all over the country probably hoarded the military supplies for this war in Liaoyang first, and then transferred them to the front line." Gao Yingyuan reported again, "Those new Han slaves are very Maybe it’s about moving supplies and doing the drudgery.”

Emperor Chongzhen was overjoyed when he heard that, and immediately ordered Gao Yingyuan: "Okay, you should also pay attention to the situation. If you have any clues that can prove the situation in Liaoyang, report it to me immediately."

"Your subordinate obeys the order!" Gao Yingyuan vaguely guessed what the emperor was planning, couldn't help getting excited, and quickly replied.

Early the next morning, Emperor Chongzhen once again summoned the governor and Zhizu Dashou, and the commander of Jinyiwei, Liu Xingzuo, who was familiar with Liao affairs, analyzed the news he had received, and then fed back the results to Lu Xiangsheng.

On Shicheng Island, Lu Xiangsheng was very excited, and initially had a combat goal.In the past, although he had made a plan to encircle Wei and save Zhao, he had no goal and was always worried about it.After all, when he attacked the hinterland of Liaodong, he had to hurt Jianlu so that Jianlu could return to the army as soon as possible.If it was just tickling in the past, Huang Taiji would definitely not return to the army. He would only return to the army after completing his strategic goals in North Korea.

Liaoyang is a strategically important place, and it is likely to be the transfer and distribution center of Jianlu's military supplies. If this place can be taken down, whether it is Mangurtai or North Korea's Jianlu, they will definitely not be at ease and will return as soon as possible. division.

In Mao Wenlong's time, he had raided Anshan Station not far from Liaoyang. Although he did not take it down, he forced Nurhachi, who was in Mongolia, to withdraw his troops overnight and return to defend Shenyang.

Lu Xiangsheng was thinking about these things, but he didn't think about his own safety at all.Although he had no problem thinking about it, the more strategic it was, the more dangerous it was.If he only arranged for the cavalry to attack, the number would only be more than 800, which is a bit too small.

However, Lu Xiangsheng never considered leading the infantry, because the infantry was too slow, and the Jianlu cavalry would probably be blocked on the way back to the island when they returned to defense.In other words, the infantry is likely to be completely wiped out.

For Mao Wenlong, he can sacrifice those troops who are not direct descendants.But Lu Xiangsheng's style is to love soldiers like sons, and share the joys and sorrows with soldiers, he can't do this.

While thinking about these things, he inspected the situation on the island.

The cavalry from Guanning had almost recovered, and when they saw Lu Xiangsheng inspecting the past, they all paid respectful salutes.They have never seen Lu Xiangsheng's method of leading troops, and they are convinced.

You know, Lu Xiangsheng is the governor of Denglai, and he was born as a Jinshi, but he lived and ate and lived with these big soldiers. There was nothing special about them, which really surprised them.

Moreover, they had admired Lu Xiangsheng's courage for a long time before, and during the training a few days ago, they saw Lu Xiangsheng's power again.With these two factors, even Huang Degong and Zuo Liangyu, who usually look down on Dongjiang Mingjun a little bit, are obedient to Lu Xiangsheng.

Besides them, there is another group of people who are very respectful and convinced to Lu Xiangsheng.They are the Jurchens on Phi Island.

Lu Xiangsheng also conquered them with his personal charm and practical actions.The Guanning cavalry may only have seen it on Shicheng Island, but they have already seen this group of Jurchens on Phi Island. It has been two or three months, and the governor of Denglai is still the same as before, with ordinary people. The soldiers share joys and sorrows, have a consistent style of work, and have the power of bravery.It's strange if you are not convinced!

Every time Lu Xiangsheng saw soldiers saluting respectfully to him, he would smile and nod, or give encouragement, without showing any nervousness on the surface.

In fact, more than 800 people went to the hinterland of Liaodong. It is impossible to say that there is no worry.For this reason, he even found an opportunity to chat with Wei Mulan alone.
