Chapter 148 Explore Lu Xiangsheng again

Next, Xiao Tianjian can even think of it with his buttocks. What will the Ming court do after reaching a peace agreement with the Tirts? A large number of Guan Ningjun will be transferred to the mainland and rushed to the jurisdiction of his Xing Tianjun. However, for the time being, I don't know how much determination Chongzhen has made this time and how many Guan will be mobilized. It's just that the Ning army entered the customs to deal with him, but at least it is certain that the number of Guanning troops coming this time must not be too small. Compared with the officers and soldiers on the side of Huguang, in addition to Zuo Liangyu, the combat effectiveness of the Guanning army still exceeds that of the mainland officers and soldiers, so his original plan to attack Nanjing is in this At that time, I had to postpone it for a while.

If Xing Tianjun can't defeat these officers and soldiers transferred from outside the customs in this war, then everything may be pushed back, but the advantage is that as long as they can defeat these border troops entering the customs, then for Daming, he will also take a step in advance to completely defeat Daming's last resistance. Well, it will be much more convenient for him to unify the world in the future. In a sense, Chongzhen's doing so is equivalent to advancing the final confrontation between the court and Xing Tianjun. It depends on who can win this final duel, and who can laugh to the end depends entirely on this war.

Therefore, Xiao Tianjian did not dare to neglect it. He immediately ordered to suspend the military plan against Nanzhili and began to adjust the strategic deployment in the area of Wuchang Prefecture. On the one hand, he rearranged the defense of the troops under his jurisdiction, and on the other hand, he began to concentrate his elite troops to the north and prepare to fight against the officers and soldiers.

It turned out that a large number of all kinds of materials were being mobilized to the south, and the transportation was also suspended. Instead, it was immediately transferred to Jinnan and northern Henan to lay the foundation for the next step.

In this way, many of the original plans were cancelled or postponed, and the whole Xing Tianjun also took large-scale action during the Spring Festival under the mobilization of Xiao Tianjian.

Xiao Tianjian deliberately established the intelligence system of the Xing Tianjun in the early years, and this time he made great contributions. Although the action of the court was very fast this time, the details of the Xing Tianjun still used the carrier pigeon to send the news at the first time, so that when Xiao Tianjian received the news, the officers and soldiers outside the customs were either still changing their defense. Among them, either it is still gathering, and Hong Chengchou is retreating from Jinzhou, and the whole gate is as chaotic as a swarm of bees.

So this also gave Xiao Tianjian ample time to prepare. He led the elite soldiers such as Luo Li and Liu Yaoben back to Luoyang, Henan.

When Xiao Tianjian ordered to return to Luoyang, the whole army also knew the news of the peace between the court and the Tarati, so there was naturally a lot of scolding in the army. Xiao Tianjian also took advantage of this opportunity to make a lot of publicity in the army, saying that Chongzhen and Dang Jinzhen were traitors, and told the world that he Xiao Tianjian will never admit the peace agreement reached between the Jin Dynasty and the Jiannu. At the same time, he wants the Han people all over the world to stand up to resist the betrayal of the country by the court. He asked Zhu Youjian to abdicate and apologize, first build momentum from public opinion and strive for the hearts of the people as much as possible. After all, the Chinese people of the Ming Dynasty still have a little backbone in this matter. The measures of the court obviously made many people very disappointed, so when the court at least lost another city in public opinion, even many literati will be disappointed with the court because of this matter. Therefore, Xiao Tianjian believes that as long as he can fight this battle well, he will be resistant to conquer the territory of the court in the future. It will be smaller.

At the same time, Xiao Tianjian led his troops back to Luoyang. On the way, he ordered Yan Chongxi, Wang Chengping and Li Lingfeng to besiege Taiyuan Mansion, capture Taiyuan as quickly as possible, and completely control Shanxi first. At the same time, he also asked them to guard against the border troops from Shanxi. He asked Wang Chengping and Li Lingfeng's subordinates. Once they found that the border army had signs of going south, they should delay them as much as possible in Jinbei and not let them rescue Taiyuan.

In addition, Xiao Tianjian ordered Liu Bao, who was preparing to attack Luzhou and Fengyang in the east of Henan, temporarily stop the operation and transferred some of the elites under his command and returned to Kaifeng. He temporarily changed from attack to defense. He was ready to go north to cross the river at any time to meet the imperial army going south. In addition, the Yellow River water camp was also ready to mobilize a large number of ships. It is only stationed in Luoyang and Kaifeng, and is ready to transfer the Xingtian army across Hebei at any time.

On the afternoon of the 27th day of the twelfth lunar month, he took Li Xin and other staff members back to Luoyang City.

When he returned to Luoyang, Xiao Tianjian looked at Luoyang City, which became lively again, and the officers, generals and a large number of people who welcomed him on the side of the road outside the city. He couldn't help sighing. Since he left here in February, more than ten months have passed in the blink of an eye. He came back here again and let Xiao Tianjian has a lot of feelings.

First, after entering Henan along the way, Xiao Tianjian saw a large number of land on the side of the road that had not been re-cultivated last year. By this time, a large number of people had been re-cultivated and had been harvested for a season. Although the people along the way still looked very poor, at least they had a little smile on their faces. There are also fewer dishes, which is his happiest thing. This situation shows that the officials of Xing Tianjun in Henan have not been idle this year and have effectively resettled the refugees who fled from the north, which has restored the vitality of Henan, the war-torn hinterland of the Central Plains, as long as it goes on. In time, the Central Plains will definitely be prosperous again.

Second, on the way back, Xiao Tianjian saw a lot of business travelers all the way. On the way, he also casually summoned some business travelers and found that these businessmen were not only the original Henan people, but also businessmen from Nanzhili, Zhejiang, Huguang and Jiangxi in the south, holding the pass tokens issued to them by the Xing Tianjun. At the same time, the goods were transported to all parts of the Xingtian Army-controlled area of Henan Province for sale. At the same time, some local products were purchased and transported to other places for sale from the jurisdiction of Xingtian Army, especially the iron under the jurisdiction of Xingtianjun and the salt produced in Jiezhou, which has just been controlled. They are even more popular for sale, which has attracted many merchants around them to be investigated and dealt with by the government. The danger is that we should also find ways to enter the territory of Xingtian Army and do business with Xingtian Army.

Although Xiao Tianjian's father-in-law Fan Yaoshan has now relied on Xing Tianjun and become a giant businessman, Xiao Tianjian is still on guard against Fan Yaoshan at some times. In his opinion, it is better not to put all the eggs in one basket. Although Fan Yaoshan has done a lot of things for him, even his baby daughter Married to him, but Xiao Tianjian still insists that it is better to introduce competition in business, so as not to let the Fan family control the economic lifeline of his Xing Tianjun one day. Therefore, Xiao Tianjian has always encouraged merchants in the jurisdiction to trade with other places. For this reason, Fan Yaoshan has repeatedly wanted to pass Fan Yutong. Xiao Tianjian expressed his dissatisfaction, but Fan Yutong was very sensible and never spoke for him. Instead, he supported Xiao Tianjian to do so, which made Fan Yaoshan a little unhappy but helpless.

These business travel teams along the way also fully explain that Xing Tianjun has launched various policies to enrich the people in the jurisdiction in recent years. Although the current achievements have not been fully demonstrated, all kinds of handicrafts are obviously recovering, especially on the road. Those small traders and hawkers also fully show that the public security situation under the jurisdiction of the Xingtian Army has begun to improve significantly. Even they don't have to travel together anymore. They walk in the jurisdiction of the Xingtian Army, which shows that the guards everywhere have been doing well against the local thieves under their respective jurisdiction during this period.

What makes Xiao Tianjian happier is that the soldiers and horses of the Xing Tianjun are obviously completely supported by the people. When he led the troops back to Henan, a large number of people along the way are not only not the same as before, but as long as they hear that they want to pass the soldiers and horses on the ground, no matter who they are, they immediately heard the wind and fled, but as soon as they see the fluttering Xing Tianjun. The military flag, the current people will immediately gather to the roadside, either cheer for the passing Xingtian army's team, or boil a pot of water, run to the roadside with a bowl, pour full of water and hand it to the Xingtian soldiers passing by them to drink. Some people even kneel devoutly on the roadside and constantly kowtowed to the Xingtian army.

This can be said to make the generals of the Xingtian Army feel very proud, especially the old officers and soldiers who surrendered to the Xingtian Army, and those other Rebel soldiers who defected to the Xingtian Army are even more emotional. What can they do in the world that the Criminal Tianjun has won the hearts of the people so much? And now as a member of the Xing Tianjun, watching the people treat them so affectionately, it also warms their hearts. They grit their teeth and swear that they will never do anything to harm the people in the future.

Before arriving in Luoyang, Xiao Tianjian specially stayed in Ruzhou for half a day and met Lu Xiangsheng here. After a year of recuperation, Lu Xiangsheng had fully recovered and gained some weight. He seemed to be much better than Xiao Tianjian when he first saw him. In the past six months Lu Xiangsheng lives in Ruzhou City, with only Li Qi and a few other close people. He often walks around. On the one hand, he observes the local governance of Xing Tianjun, and on the other hand, he supervises the performance of the civilian generals of Xing Tianjun in some places.

This is also a responsibility entrusted to Lu Xiangsheng by Xiao Tianjian. He asked Lu Xiangsheng to supervise the performance of local officials for Xiao Tianjian, while Lu Xiangsheng happily agreed and faithfully fulfilled the responsibilities entrusted to him by Xiao Tiansheng. In the past year, he often found some of his secret visits. The question is written as an old article, secretly handed to Jiang Qin's men, and asked them to transfer it to Xiao Tianjian. Even between the march and war, Xiao Tianjian will often look at the old articles handed to him by Lu Xiangsheng, and arrange full-time personnel to investigate and improve the questions raised in them one by one, especially for the department found by Lu Xiangsheng in the unannounced visit. Xiao Tianjian, an unqualified corrupt official, ordered a severe punishment and would never be tolerated, so the cooperation between the two was quite pleasant.

Lu Xiangsheng also felt Xiao Tianjian's attention to him and his attention to people's livelihood. He was very relieved. Gradually, he strengthened his idea of volunteering to Xiao Tianjian. He was no longer troubled by this matter. Especially in the early period, Xiao Tianjian also sent someone to send Wang Yongzuo to Ruzhou editor-in-chief, which was nominally editor-in-chief. In fact, he handed over the surrender of Wang Yongzuo to Lu Xiangsheng.

After hearing the news, Lu Xiangsheng also immediately went to visit Wang Yongzuo, who was placed in Ruzhou City. When Wang Yongzuo saw Lu Xiangsheng, he was stunned, and Lu Xiangsheng told Wang Yongzuo and him about his experience of fighting against Tatan in Jingfu. The reason why he devoted himself to Xiao Tianjian also stated to Wang Yongzuo that Xiao Tianjian's love for the people and the various measures he introduced for people's livelihood finally made Wang Yongzuo have to sigh. After thinking for a long time, he also agreed to Lu Xiangsheng's invitation in the first two months and began to work for Xiao Tianjian. Love.

Now Wang Yongzuo has been appointed by Xiao Tianjian as the governor of Kaifeng and went to Kaifeng to take office. He began to officially serve Xiao Tianjian in Kaifeng City and served as a member.
