Chongzhen Chat Group

If Lu Xiang was promoted to an official just to make a fortune, as a civil servant with a Jinshi background, he would not have developed the ability to kill enemies, nor would he have risked his life to fight with the enemy on the battlefield.

What Lu Xiangsheng pursues is to cultivate his moral character, govern the country and bring peace to the world. Now, his fight against Jianlu to the death has been recognized by others, especially by the emperor. He feels that all his efforts have been rewarded. It would be fake if he is not excited!

The peace of mind that I usually cultivated through self-cultivation was completely gone at this moment. On the way to the palace for an audience, Lu Xiangsheng rode on horseback and clasped his fists, returning the courtesy from time to time in front of the enthusiastic people. Even when he arrived at the palace, his mood did not calm down.

Under the guidance of the chamberlain, Lu Xiangsheng entered the Wenhua Palace. When he saw Emperor Chongzhen for the first time, he did not dare to take a closer look and immediately paid homage: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

When Lu Xiangsheng first entered the palace, Hu Guang observed this legendary figure in the late Ming Dynasty. Not to mention, although he is wearing the official robe of a prefect, he is tall and has fair and slender arms. His whole person gives the impression that he is like a towering king standing in the sky. Even if he knelt down and saluted at this time, he was still very impressive.

What a great general! Hu Guang had such an idea and was immediately speechless. Is this a prefect?

He immediately stood up, walked around the imperial desk, walked down quickly, came to Lu Xiangsheng, smiled and stretched out his hand to help: "Lu Qing, please get up quickly!"

Lu Xiangsheng didn't expect the emperor to be so polite, and he was very grateful. He didn't dare to let the emperor use force, so he got up. However, he immediately found that the emperor was looking up to him, and he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

Hu Guang took two steps back, looked Lu Xiangsheng up and down with a smile and said: "Not bad, not bad, very good, very good!"

Lu Xiangsheng heard that the emperor liked him very much, so he couldn't help but bowed and said: "Your Majesty is overly complimentary!"

Hu Guang asked with concern: "How is your injury?"

"Your Majesty, I just had a minor injury and it's almost healed!" Lu Xiangsheng replied respectfully.

Hearing this, Hu Guang felt relieved, and with an itchy heart, he asked curiously: "Lu Qing, I heard that you have courage that no man can deserve, can you show it to me?"

"..." When Lu Xiangsheng heard this, he couldn't help but be speechless. He didn't expect that the emperor would make such a request.

After hesitating for a moment, he had no choice but to reply: "I just have some strength."

Hu Guangcai didn't believe it. He rolled his eyes, turned back to the throne, and then ordered Fang Zhenghua who was standing beside him: "Go, you and Lu Qing have a few moves, let me see what I can see!"

Based on Fang Zhenghua's reputation as "The Undefeated of the East," he had seen Fang Zhenghua practice with some of his guards, and it was indeed good! Now Lu Xiangsheng also has a reputation, let’s see who is more powerful between the two of them!

When Fang Zhenghua and Lu Xiangsheng saw the emperor's strong interest, they were helpless and had to obey.

In the Wenhua Palace, away from the emperor, the two began to compete under the emperor's gaze.

Fang Zhenghua was obviously not as good as Lu Xiangsheng in terms of height and weight, but he was better in agility, wandering around and testing Lu Xiangsheng from time to time.

Lu Xiangsheng, on the other hand, remained motionless. Occasionally, he would make a powerful and heavy move, which Fang Zhenghua had to dodge and did not dare to take.

Hu Guang, a layman, also saw the clue after watching it for a while. Lu Xiangsheng is tall and strong, but not clumsy at all. The Founder's speed is very fast, the angle is tricky, and the shot is very fast, leaving room for every time, and he will leave if he misses.

After a while, the two still couldn't tell the winner, but Hu Guang lost interest in watching any more. He could tell that the two of them were not on the same path, and it would be difficult to tell the difference in a short time. If we insist on ordering the two of them not to dodge and fight directly, Lu Xiangsheng will probably win.

Therefore, Hu Guang said: "Lu Qing has just recovered from his injury. That's it. I can see it almost!"

When Lu Xiangsheng and Fang Zhenghua heard this, they both stopped their hands and bowed to Hu Guang.

"Please sit down!" Hu Guang smiled and waved his hand, asking Lu Xiangsheng to sit down, and then asked: "I wonder what Lu Qing thinks about leading troops?"

Lu Xiangsheng's face was not red, and his heart was not beating, and he replied calmly: "I believe that if the soldiers can be commanded like an arm, advance and retreat freely, and there is no disobedience under the military orders, then the army is ready. When facing the enemy, we must also Know thyself, ever-victorious……"

Speaking of these, he had a lot of experience and talked eloquently without Hu Guang asking questions. He talked about all aspects to the emperor.

"...The general will be courageous, the general will be brave, the general will treat the soldiers as brothers, and the soldiers will repay them with their lives..."

"...In an army confrontation, the first priority is the crossbow. Now that we have firearms, we should defeat the enemy from a distance. Only in this way can we avoid killing a thousand enemies and damaging ourselves by eight hundred..."

"..."

Hu Guang listened to Lu Xiangsheng's words and came to several conclusions.

Lu Xiangsheng believed that a general should share the joys and sorrows with his soldiers. The more difficult the conditions, the more so. Only in this way can he win the support of the soldiers and be able to command them like an arm. It seems that he also led his troops in this way in history, and therefore, all his soldiers obeyed him and even risked their lives for him.

Another point of view of Lu Xiangsheng is also consistent with that of later generations, which is to attach importance to the use of long-range weapons. He at least cited many examples to prove the correctness of his point of view.

In the original history, Lu Xiangsheng did the same thing when leading troops. When he was the governor to encircle and suppress the bandits, he made a large number of crossbows and used long-range weapons to kill the bandits and make them flee.

Probably Lu Xiangsheng was just a prefect before, and his battlefield skills were useless. Now in front of the emperor, he wanted to take out all the military skills he had learned. He kept talking for almost an hour before he was almost finished.

After hearing this, Hu Guang had made up his mind. While offering tea, he asked Lu Xiangsheng: "Lu Qing, if you were the governor of Denglai, what would you do?"

When Lu Xiangsheng heard this, he felt happy. Governor Denglai was a high-ranking official in the border area, far higher than the prefect. Not to mention this, what's more important is that Governor Denglai is in charge of Dongjiang Town, facing the east side of Jianlu, echoing the Shanhaiguan side. This position is his favorite!

He understood that if his answer could satisfy the emperor, the governor of Denglai would most likely be his next official position.

Thinking of this, he swallowed the tea in one gulp, then straightened his upper body, and immediately replied: "If I are the governor of Denglai, I will reorganize Dongjiang Town and make it into a fighting force, attack from the east, harass and reorganize the captives, Make Jianlu not dare to invade other lands with all his strength."

After a pause, Lu Xiangsheng immediately continued in detail: "In view of the situation in Dongjiang, I think that we can select elites, not too many, to form a surprise force, and specialize in running thousands of miles, and use it for destruction, beheading and other surprise tactics. This will make the captives exhausted..."

"..." Hu Guang was speechless. Isn't this a special force that has infiltrated behind enemy lines?

He didn't know that in the original history, Lu Xiangsheng had issued a memorial titled "Selecting Surprise Soldiers", requesting the establishment of a special force of 1,500 men specifically for hijacking camps and conducting surprise attacks.

There is still one chapter left, but next week the high-end order should reach 50, and I can add an update. Then I will probably have a big update next weekend, so I can just take it as a rest this week!
