Chapter 320 Lu Xiangsheng’s triumphal return

The sun slowly moved to the middle of the sky. At this time, it was the warmest time of the day. But on Phi Island, few people come out to bask in the sun. The warmth brought by the sun is far from enough to be felt more deeply by the cold sea breeze.

However, at this moment, the soldiers and civilians on Pi Island were all uncharacteristically different. Not only did they come out, they all gathered on the simple pier, each with solemn expressions, watching the small warship slowly dock.

On the pier, the soldiers had already imposed martial law, and only the highest official on the island was present. Seeing that the warship was about to dock, they quickly walked a few steps and stood up to meet it again.

With a soft sound, the battleship docked and stabilized, and a tall figure appeared on the deck.

"Welcome to the triumphant return of Lord Zhongcheng!" Chen Jisheng and others who were left behind immediately knelt down on one knee and said loudly and heartily.

"Welcome to the triumphant return of Lord Zhongcheng!" The soldiers under martial law on the dock immediately knelt down on one knee and said in unison with the same sincerity.

Countless soldiers and civilians on the shore all knelt down. Although the voices were not uniform, all the voices expressed one meaning: "Welcome to the triumphal return of Lord Zhongcheng!"

Even when Mao Wenlong was alive, he never received such courtesy every time he returned from war. Lu Xiangsheng was originally a scholar and a Jinshi, and was the highest official in Denglai. Not only did he eat, live and share the joys and sorrows with the soldiers, but he also went to the battlefield and fought with his own hands. His bravery was unprecedented. Both wars were great victories, a great victory that Dongjiang had never experienced before. A lot of food was captured to make life easier for the soldiers and civilians on the island.

Such a governor of Denglai, no matter the soldiers, civilians, or officials, at least those on Phidao, are all convinced!

Wei Mulan was following behind Lu Xiangsheng, and couldn't help but be excited when she saw such a scene. At this time, she felt that those days in the past had been wasted. Life was short. Rather than being mediocre, it would be better to live a fulfilling life now!

She looked at Lu Xiangsheng's tall back with the same admiration in her heart. It can be said that Lu Xiangsheng, a Jinshi master, completely overturned her previous understanding. She felt that the young monk was right to put Lu Xiangsheng on Denglai's side.

Lu Xiangsheng himself saw everything in front of him and knew that he had been fully recognized by the soldiers and civilians on the island, and he was also happy in his heart. He stood on the deck, summoned all his strength, and said loudly: "Excuse me, everyone, please get up!"

After finishing speaking, he got off the battleship in a few steps, walked to Chen Jisheng and others, stretched out his hands to help them, and helped them up while they were still kneeling. When the others saw it, they all stood up, then the soldiers, and finally the soldiers and civilians. It undulates like a wave and goes into the distance.

When Lu Xiangsheng was about to step out of the pier, suddenly, behind Chen Jisheng and others, a man stepped out, bowed deeply and said: "Wu Daji, a junior official from the small country, has met the Lord Zhongcheng of the Shangguo. The Lord Zhongcheng is wise. Shenwu can annihilate Jianlu while talking and laughing, and the subordinates are so impressed that they fall to the ground!"

Lu Xiangsheng stopped and glanced at him. He recognized him as the North Korean envoy he had sent to the capital. He smiled slightly and said, "How about going to the capital?"

"The capital of the Shangguo is extremely prosperous, and the difficulties of a small country are as great as the prosperity of the Shangguo. There are also many strange things that make Xiaguan's eyes open, and he feels that in a small country, he is like a frog at the bottom of a well!" Wu Daji recalled what he saw in the capital of the Ming Dynasty. Seeing the scene, he couldn't help but replied with emotion.

After hearing this, Lu Xiangsheng smiled slightly with pride and said: "I, the Ming Emperor, am the real wise and powerful warrior. With the Emperor here, you will be more surprised when you go to the capital again in the future."

At this point, his smile faded, and then he said seriously to Wu Daji: "You must remember the emperor's words and convey them to your king when you go back. Don't miss them!"

"Xiaguan understands, Xiaguan remembers, Xiaguan will definitely not miss it!" Wu Daji responded repeatedly, extremely respectfully.

Lu Xiangsheng stopped paying attention to him. When he turned around, he saw Li Deming standing behind him. Mingzhi, who must have committed suicide, was recovered from his injuries. It seemed that he was ready to return to North Korea with Wu Daji.

After thinking about it, he ordered Wu Daji: "Jianlu has suffered two big losses this time, and he will definitely not give up. After you go back, tell the King of Korea to be prepared to resist Jianlu. I, too, will I will inform the court and send troops to support you."

"I would like to thank you for your kindness in rescuing the king!" Wu Daji quickly thanked Lu Xiangsheng when he heard Lu Xiangsheng took the initiative to express his views.

Lu Xiangsheng nodded, but ignored them and went to the military camp.

Before long, all his generals had gathered. Lu Xiangsheng announced loudly: "The emperor is very happy to hear about this Korean war. Once the good news reaches the capital, he will give rewards. Among them, Mao Chengzuo and Liu Xingzhi will both be promoted to staff generals."

As soon as these words were spoken, smiles appeared on the faces of Mao Chengzuo and Liu Xingzhi. They both quickly stepped out of the queue, clasped their hands in fists and said, "The last general is just following Mr. Zhongcheng and contributing a little."

To be honest, this is really not modesty. In fact, they didn't do much. If someone else followed Lu Xiangsheng, they would still get the credit. Therefore, both of them were very grateful to Lu Xiangsheng.

This truth was also clear to other generals, such as Chen Jisheng and others, after they learned about the battle situation from their subordinates. So when I saw them awarding me rewards, I couldn't help but feel envious.

Lu Xiangsheng stopped solemnly and said: "Chen Jisheng, Mao Chengzuo, Liu Xingzhi, Xu Fuzuo?"

"The general will be here!" The four people stood side by side and responded together.

Lu Xiangsheng looked at them and said: "I will inspect the islands soon, and then return to Denglai to collect supplies. You must be careful to defend, strictly investigate spies, and monitor the Korean war situation. Don't neglect it!"

"Yes!" The four people immediately responded loudly.

With the food snatched back from this war, Pidao has been able to make do with it. With the food, they were confident, not to mention that Lu Xiangsheng went to collect supplies, so his voice was particularly loud in response.

Lu Xiang was promoted to the governor of Denglai and had jurisdiction over many places. Among them, the Bohai Bay and many islands in North Korea were under his jurisdiction. Now the situation on Pi Island has been stabilized. The war situation in North Korea will depend on Jianlu's movements. He didn't want to stay idle on Pi Island, so he planned to take this opportunity to go away.

Unconsciously, a month has almost passed, and in the blink of an eye it is February 28th, the third year of Chongzhen. This day is the day when the new army was established. A total of 5,130 new sergeants passed the examination.

Not surprisingly, Wu Xiang, the commander-in-chief of Datong, provided the largest number of soldiers. Whoever puts him and his in-laws together will have the most servants. And Zu Dashou happened to be transferred from the position of commander-in-chief, so there was no need to compete with him for the position of earl.

When the results came out, the punishment with the smallest number of soldiers was provided, and Wu Xiang was named Uncle Datong as he had done before.

In just two months, Emperor Chongzhen created three counts in one breath, namely Man Gui, Qin Liangyu and Wu Xiang. Such generosity made many leading generals think about taking a chance on becoming a knight.

However, Emperor Chongzhen did not promise any more knighthoods. When the new army was established, he set up camp in Beijing early in the morning. He has to take care of the New Army matters himself!

People who treat rhinitis have to eat in a drowsy way, so I basically didn’t write much on Sunday. I won’t take traditional Chinese medicine for now, but take western medicine and Chinese patent medicine first.

There has been a lot of increase in high-end and medium-end orders, and there will definitely be more updates this week. Let me calculate how many more updates are needed first.
