In March of Chongzhen 10 years, 3 months later, the time has come to the early spring, and the cold is suddenly warm, and people have taken off their heavy winter clothes and put on light spring clothes one after another.
At this time, there was another important news spreading in the Zhenluwei, that is, Lu Xiangsheng, the new Xuanda Governor, was coming to the Zhenluwei for inspection. At this time, there was only one month left before the Central Plains War.
The town captive guards the official hall.
Early in the morning, the Minister of Military Training Qi Zhenzong rushed over excitedly, and when he saw Yang Shanlu he asked, "My lord, I heard that Governor Lu is coming today?"
"That's right—" Yang Shanlu just smiled when he saw Qi Zhenzong's appearance: "Why, I heard that the governor is coming, even the training can be released?"
"This is natural." Qi Zhenzong laughed happily when he heard it. After all, the one who is coming is the famous Lu Xiangsheng! This is a famous general among the literati! The Confucian handsome among the famous generals!
The Tianxiong Army that he created by himself, fought in the South and North, and made a great reputation! So he has always been Qi Zhenzong's idol! Now that I hear that idols are coming, how can I not get excited
Strictly speaking, Yang Shanlu also had the same mood as him, but he had a secret letter sent to him by his father Yang Sichang, so this time Lu Xiangsheng came to inspect and learned more inside information.
And they are all great benefits... And in this way, he will have more confidence in the next battle of the Central Plains.
"Come, after having breakfast together, we will go to meet Governor Lu!"
Yang Shanlu just smiled and said, this is also the attitude that Yang Shanlu should have. With Lu Xiangsheng's current position as the governor of Xuanda, Yang Shanlu must be personally greeted.
So half an hour later, Yang Shanlu led the 5-member group, including some other important generals, to the outside of Tiancheng City and greeted each other ten miles.
And near noon, on the official road from Yanghe City to Zhenluwei, a powerful line of honors of the Governor came.
The road ahead is a dense crowd of chess and poker players, with the words "Governor Xuanda Shanxi Military Food and Salary", "Bingbu Zuo Shi Lang", and "Du Cha Yuan You Yu Du Yu Shi". Every position is of high authority. .
And in the center is a high red flag, embroidered with a big "Lu" character, and behind the flag, there are nearly a hundred guards, each of them wears helmets and crowns, majestic. very much.
Among the guards of these guards, Lu Xiangsheng rides on his Wumingji, just watching the scenery on both sides of the official road. Beside him, Master Yang and Bingbei Dao Yu Chonghua is honored to be with him. And go with the bridle.
Originally this position was supposed to belong to the governor of Datong Ye Tinggui, but today the governor was unwell, so he was lucky enough to get this position.
Behind the two of them, Lu Xiangsheng’s pro-general commander Chen An, followed by Yanghe Daodong Road ginseng General Song Kejiu, who was the one who kneeled for Yang Shanlu last time, and Donglu Guerrilla. Five generals.
The Governor-General suddenly wanted to inspect the town captive guard. After they heard about it, they all volunteered to be accompanied by their guards.
As Lu Xiangsheng walked along the road, he nodded frequently. This little Zhenluwei, as advertised in the Da Ming Bulletin, seemed to be a place of vitality.
It's like the official road at your feet, spacious and flat, and you can run three carriages in parallel, but many of the official roads of other guards are in disrepair for a long time, and even in some places, even a carriage can't get through! In this contrast, the judgment is high and low.
In addition, Lu Xiangsheng found that in the farms on both sides of the official road, the wheat was also growing very well. It was early spring and the wheat was about to be harvested. A breeze blew by, and it was all golden wheat waves.
Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help but exclaimed: "The Governor was in Yanghe City, and he had already heard of Zhenluwei's name, but when I saw it today, it really deserves its reputation!" In this case, for the legendary Yang Shanlu who is about to meet. , And also full of expectations.
And as soon as Lu Xiangsheng said this, Bing Bei Dao Yu Chonghua and others were all related to You Rong Yan, Yang He said such outstanding people, and it also made their faces bright...
Then there was nothing to say all the way, and the group came ten miles outside Tiancheng City, and saw that a color shed had been set up on the official road, and a group of officials of the health station had been waiting here.
And it was a young teenager headed by him. Seeing this man with sword eyebrows and star eyes, he was heroic, and Lu Xiangsheng was three-pointed joy when he saw him.
When he came to the front, Lu Xiangsheng had already asked: "This general, are you Yang Shanlu?"
"Yes, it is the last general!" Yang Shanlu just bowed and saluted.
"What?" With this question and answer, there was a sound of inhalation behind Lu Xiangsheng.
Even his personal guard leader Chen An has already exclaimed: "Some time ago, I heard that the town captive guard had produced a great character! Slaying eight hundred darts, and slaying the old slave's forehead and Yang Guli! But Now, how young is it?" Doesn't this seem to be 25 years old
And Yang Shanlu smiled faintly when he heard it, but he had a foresight... He was only 23 years old this year.
When Lu Xiangsheng heard this, he just chuckled: "This is called aspirational not being young! Besides, Chen An, you are wrong, in fact, the beheading is a thousandth level." And it doesn't hurt to say it now.
And when they heard Lu Xiangsheng say this, Song Kejiu and others, as well as Donglu Guerrilla and so on, looked a little embarrassed. They all had a share at the beginning...
But after Chen An listened, his eyes became round! Actually even better than expected? Such a peerless fierce general, wait until after going to the Central Plains battlefield...
Not to mention that they were shocked, at this moment, Yang Shanlu was also looking at Lu Xiangsheng... It was the first time he saw this famous figure in history!
I saw Lu Xiangsheng, less than forty years old, with a fair and thin face, but his eyes were very bright! As if I can see through your heart!
What's more rare is that he was a scholar of literati background, but he was good at leading soldiers, and he could share the ups and downs with the soldiers and fight together in battle, which can be regarded as an outlier among the commanders in the late Ming Dynasty!
Moreover, Lu Xiangsheng is not only good at ruling the army, but also good at farming. He has accumulated 200,000 shi of grain and rice after serving as the Governor of Xuan University for two years. He is really a man of both civil and military skills! It's a pity that such an outstanding person has a miserable end!
In the original history, he would die bravely when the Qing soldiers enter the bandit next year! But now...
After being greeted, everyone went into the city just blowing and beating.
However, Lu Xiangsheng had a resolute temper. It was almost noon. After he hurriedly used the banquet set for him by Yang Shanlu, he proposed to watch the new army drills by Yang Shanlu.
Of course, Yang Shanlu has no objection to this, and for him, in order to play an important role in the Central Plains battle that determines the national movement, it is time for Lu Xiangsheng to see his strength! Thus putting him in a higher position!
So next, Yang Shanlu took Lu Xiangsheng and his group to the training ground.
At this time, on the training ground, the 6000 Xuanjia Army had received the order and was marching into the field.
Although there are a large number of people, they are busy and not chaotic, and they can accurately stand in their own positions to welcome Lu Xiangsheng and others' review.
After Lu Xiangsheng and others stood on the high platform and witnessed the whole process, they couldn't help but exclaimed: "Good soldier! What a good soldier!"
Let's not talk about the entrance ceremony just now, it is the phalanx formed by the 6000 Xuanjia army now, looking horizontally and vertically, it is a line! As if slashing with a knife! So even if he stands on a high platform, he can feel the majestic military spirit!
Even seeing this kind of formation, even civilian officials like Yu Chonghua who do not understand the army understand what is meant by a strong army in the world!
"Good luck! Zhenguo, you can train such a strong army, it is the country's blessing! The world is blessed!"
After Lu Xiangsheng looked carefully, he couldn't help but admired again and again, and even before he knew it, he had already called Yang Shanlu's name.
When the other generals met, they nodded frequently. Even they came from a low level, and they valued other aspects... For example, these new soldiers have all the Shanwenjia, and the very sophisticated birds...
All of this shows that this is a luxuriously equipped army!
Even such a luxuriously equipped army is nothing more than the well-built family members, but now, how many thousands of people are all family members
When Yang Shanlu saw this scene, he was also full of pride... This is the strength that I have worked hard for me to try hard!
Of course, a large part of this was due to his military training minister, Qi Zhenzong, so at this moment, Yang Shanlu didn't mind letting him show his face... Didn't he see this idol, and he kept digging his head behind him.
It's a good news, it's worth installing, and even Android and Apple phones support it!
So Yang Shanlu said: "Back to the governor, the reason why the junior officer can train such a good soldier is thanks to finding a capable man!"
Then Yang Shanlu waved and called Qi Zhenzong over.
Lu Xiangsheng was also very interested when he heard the question. After the question was clear, he was even more amazed when he learned that he was a descendant of Qi Shaobao. It turned out to be a family background. After the famous general, no wonder he could train such a good soldier!
It's not even Qi Zhenzong is already a famous flower, Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help but ask Yang Shanlu for it.
Such talents actually fell into Yang Shanlu's hands? Moreover, he went to the capital to worship the door and couldn't enter? It really makes people admire fish.
After seeing the military formation, Yang Shanlu then ordered a few sergeants of the Xuanjia Army and asked them to put up wooden signs to demonstrate the shooting of birds.
However, the power of the current bird blunders is naturally needless to say. Originally, it was an improved bird blunder, but now it has a combination of fixed*, pellet*, etc....
So after the shooting was over, not to mention that Song Kejiu and other generals were stunned. Even Lu Xiangsheng, who is familiar with military affairs, had his eyes widened in surprise... Is there such a powerful bird in the world
Even because the result was too unimaginable, there was a guerrilla general who suspected that after asking for instructions, he went to the spot to take those wooden plaques that had been smashed and inspect them carefully.
However, after repeated inspections, and even after a few bites with teeth, it was confirmed that these black birdclaws in front of them were indeed infinitely powerful! And the Xuanjia Army, known as the First Army of Datong, is already faintly well-deserved!
After the shock, Lu Xiangsheng closed his eyes and thought for a while, then solemnly asked, "Zhen Guo, why is your birdclaw so powerful?"
And Yang Shanlu just smiled, he just briefly introduced the improved birdblade.
Of course, what he focused on was such a concept...you get what you pay for, so well-made bird guns, but he spent a lot of money to create it! Rather than the kind of shattered copper and iron!
As for the more core secrets, such as particles*, it is a one-off.
And now Yang Shanlu doesn't care about showing the power in his hands.
Although he had seen the greedy look in the eyes of several generals, he didn't care... Hehe, if you want to fight these birdcock ideas, you have to ask his father Yang Sichang if he agrees!
As for Lu Xiangsheng, he was very envious when he heard it, but he was helpless... The accumulative evils of the court were like this, but he could not change it alone.
However, Yang Shanlu admired Lu Xiangsheng very much, and immediately said: "Since the governor likes it, the next official will send you 100 bird guns!"
"This..." Lu Xiangsheng was surprised and happy at once, but he was also embarrassed.
Lu Xiangsheng was upright and honest throughout his life, never accepting gifts from his subordinates, but this time, should I accept it? After all, this kind of military weapon, missed this village, but there is no such shop...
"So thank you Master Yang."
But before Lu Xiangsheng made a decision, Chen An, the guard leader next to him, spoke quickly. He knew Lu Xiangsheng's temper very well. How could he still pretend to be high in the face of such a good thing
"Uh… "
Lu Xiangsheng gave him a fierce look! But then, he could only smile apologetically at Yang Shanlu: "So the Governor is ashamed to have it." Such a military weapon, he is really reluctant to push it out...
And with this one get one free, the relationship between the two is even more harmonious.
But when he saw this scene in the same way, the Yang Hebing Beidao Yu Chonghua on the side was also moved, and even stretched out his hand to touch it, and the meaning was obvious... That is to give him some chants.
And he thinks he should have this face too. He is the second-ranking official present and the Shangguan of Yangshan Lu Shangguan, so according to official rules, he should also be respected...
It’s just that he never expected that Yang Shanlu saw his gesture, but he just didn’t see it...
Because Yang Shanlu knows very well, who is this person in Chonghua? To put it more seriously, it is the same thing as the water is too cold!
In the original history, this was located in the Chonghua corpse position vegetarian meal, but after Li Zicheng hit Yanghe Road in the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, this man not only refused to resist, but led the army to meet ten miles in the suburbs, and the wine was filled with wine! It's a slavery thing!
People like this now want my bird blows too? Go dreaming!
"Uh—" Yu Chonghua was still waiting with a smile, but when he saw Yang Shanlu hadn't reacted, his face gradually became a little unstoppable... A small defense, how dare you give face
But after thinking about it carefully, he was discouraged again, thinking about the old man, even if there is a big grievance, he has to swallow it back...
On the contrary, Lu Xiangsheng, originally he didn't catch a cold with Chonghua, but now that he saw his affair, he even ignored him at all.
And then, he saw the new tiger squat guns displayed in front of the Xuanjia Army.
After Lu Xiangsheng took a closer look, he became interested again... This is very different from the common Francan cannon. If you see it in other guards, you will see it, because it is mostly fooling people, but Now...
He just smiled at the time and said, "Zhen Guo, can you let these tigers do it again?"
"No problem at all." Yang Shanlu nodded immediately, and then he rushed behind him and waved. Now the chief of the artillery battalion, Cheng Meng, quickly trot down and began the field exercise.
"Boom bang bang—" After a series of test shots of three new tiger squat cannons, Lu Xiangsheng and others were shocked again. As a large group of goats for testing, they were bombed with flesh and blood on the spot!
This kind of power has far exceeded the common Franch cannon! And he also noticed a detail. These seemingly crude guns are very convenient when moving. If this is on the battlefield...
However, Yang Shanlu didn't plan to send out these artillery anymore. Once these artillery pieces were not easy to produce, he only had 40 artillery pieces in total. Secondly, artillery had to be used intensively in order to exert its power! So let's focus on it then...
And Lu Xiangsheng didn’t care, even he was very happy, because he came this time, there is something important to tell Yang Shanlu, and he will go to the Central Plains battlefield in the future, and there is a place to borrow the heavy Xuanjia army. !
But now, with such strength...
And when the review came here, Lu Xiangsheng and others thought it was almost the same, but Yang Shanlu didn't shock the dead and didn't give up!
He already smiled and said: "Please also the superintendent to move to review the cavalry units trained by the lower officials!"
"What? Do you still have cavalry?" Lu Xiangsheng was completely shocked when he heard it... The 6000 Profound Armies in front of him had already shocked him a lot!
After all, the commander-in-chief of a dignified town is only 5,000 people! As for the second-level deputy commander, there are only 3,000 troops!
But now, with a mere garrison, there are so many soldiers under him? Even have cavalry that costs a lot? This this…
But Yang Shanlu nodded affirmatively, this is a sword that has been sharpened in ten years! In order to prepare for the Central Plains battle, which will determine the fate of Daming, Yang Shanlu has been preparing for more than a year! Can you train more troops
As for the other generals present, like that Song Kejiu and so on, although they were equally shocked, they were not like Lu Xiang not long after he was transferred to office. They already knew Yang Shanlu's style of local tyrants, so they could only be offended.
Then Yang Shanlu led Lu Xiangsheng and his party to an area two miles away from the training ground.
This is already a mountain range belonging to Yangmen Mountain, with a large stretch of grassy slopes, just for cavalry training, but now... I saw 2000 cavalry soldiers lined up neatly there, waiting for review.
And Lu Xiangsheng also belonged to the wise soldiers among the civil servants, but after seeing these fine knights, he couldn't help but breathe in air!
These cavalry also wear mountain armor, and ride on the horse motionlessly, showing very good control skills!
That kind of momentum, it is really like a tiger and a horse like a dragon, going up the mountain to fight the tiger, and going to the sea to catch the dragon! It even gave him the feeling that it was inferior to the world-famous Guan Ning Tieqi!
After looking around for a long time, Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help but ask: "Zhen Guo, how many cavalry are there?"
"My Master, the total is 2,000 rides!" Yang Shanlu said with a smile.
"What?" Lu Xiangsheng was speechless again, there are still so many people
To know that the 6000 Xuanjia army just now, plus the current 2000 fine knights, it is already a total of 8000 people!
Still the same sentence, you must know that the chief officer of a town is only five thousand people under its jurisdiction! But now, with a mere garrison, he has 8,000 elite soldiers? It's hard to imagine...
When Yang Shanlu saw it, he just smiled without saying a word. In order to gain the right to speak in the future war, he is showing his power in a timely manner... But now it seems that the effect is still very good.
Of course, Yang Shanlu didn't show all the cards in his hand. If these people know that there are still 2000 cannon fodder soldiers who are not afraid of death, including 1000 Mongolian fine riders, what kind of expression should they look like
And then, Yang Shanlu let these cavalry perform various tactics, but after watching Lu Xiangsheng, he saw some clues: "Zhen Guo, these cavalry seem to be in the army soon, right?"
"That's right—" Yang Shanlu nodded and said, "That's more than five months."
In other words, his cavalry is good, but compared with the real elite cavalry, there are still some differences, the latter generally need more than two years of training, plus battlefield training, before they can take shape.
But now, Yang Shanlu also has the confidence to turn these cavalry into an elite division! After all, after going to the Central Plains battlefield, aren't those locust-like robbers just good sharpening stones
So after the final review, Lu Xiangsheng's temperament was obviously very high... Although he had expected Yang Shanlu to be a powerful helper when he came, but now... It's even more helpful than he expected.
Since the mystery was about to be revealed soon, Lu Xiangsheng no longer concealed it from him, so he found an opportunity to say to Yang Shanlu: "Zhenguo, your soldiers are well trained, and this supervisor is very pleased.
In addition, I do not hide it from you. In a month's time, the Governor will lead troops to the Central Plains, and you are here. "
"The Ministry of War has already revealed this to me. This time the Central Plains war was divided into two ways, with the trilateral governor Hong Chengchou headed all the way, commanding the northwestern frontier soldiers to kill the gangsters in the Shanxi-Gansu region!
And the other way, headed by the governor, served as the military prime minister of the five provinces of the Central Plains, that is, the Central Plains battalion, under the jurisdiction of mobile forces, to kill the gangsters in the Central Plains! "
"Really? Great!" After Yang Shanlu listened, he couldn't help but roared in excitement... Because history has changed because of him!
We must know that in the original history, the reason why the Central Plains War failed to complete the goal is because this vital military prime minister of the five provinces was appointed by Xiong Wencan, a philistine!
Then this bear has a big mouth, knows nothing about military affairs, only knows how to caress blindly, be Mr. Dong Guo! Eventually led to the failure of this eradication! But now...
Lu Xiangsheng, who has all talents in civil and military affairs, came to serve as the prime minister of the five provinces, and the situation has changed drastically!
On the contrary, Lu Xiangsheng was a little gaffe when he saw Yang Shanlu. He was surprised and said: "Zhenguo, you are..." Although he was very excited when he learned of this appointment at first, there is no need to be happy. Looks like...
As for Yang Shanlu, he just laughed and said nothing...
Hehe Governor Lu, Governor Lu, if you know that this is so different from the original history, you can even say that this determines the fortune of Ming Dynasty, you will definitely be unable to help it...
After the confession, Lu Xiangsheng was ready to leave, but before leaving, he swiped again, indicating that in the next half month, he would allocate a large number of military materials for this Central Plains war!
Of course, this is also very obvious. Originally, there was an old man who was a book in the Ministry of War, so he took special care of him. Now Lu Xiangsheng, the specific executor, knows the strength of Yang Shanlu, so he gives the green light. Will he get less supplies
After Lu Xiangsheng and his party completely left, Yang Shanlu was still very excited. The long-awaited battle of the Central Plains is coming soon!
And history has been completely changed, and he will certainly take a better posture to welcome Daming’s battle for the nation’s fortunes!
ps is one chapter today, but one chapter tops two chapters, hehe. (End of this chapter)
