Chongzhen Chat Group

Xiong Wencan was really surprised when he heard this. Aren’t the Ming army always being suppressed and beaten by the Jianlu? It seems that the only victory is achieved by defending the city. Why haven't you paid attention to the war in the north for a while? The Ming army suddenly became powerful! The two biological sons of the slave chieftain both died in the hands of the Dongjiang Ming Army. This is really unbelievable!

The waiter is a person who is good at observing words and expressions. He looked at Xiong Wencan while talking, and vaguely noticed Xiong Wencan's surprise. He suddenly felt proud in his heart and continued to introduce: "... Lu Zhongcheng led the army to escape the search of the Jianlu and Mongolian coalition forces. , and raided the outskirts of the Jianlu puppet capital, frightening the Jianlu to close the city gate tightly, and watched helplessly as their Jurchen tribesmen died under the swords and guns of our Ming soldiers outside the city. Haha, I didn’t expect that the Jianlu would also have this day. , It’s so happy, so happy!”

"You guys, don't exaggerate. My master wants to hear the real news!" When a servant behind Xiong Wencan heard this, he couldn't help shouting.

Indeed, listening to the waiter's description, why do you feel that Jianlu is so vulnerable! Is this... is this the legendary Jianlu who is invincible in field battles?

When the waiter heard this, he didn't take it seriously and said with a little pride: "Your Majesty, you are worrying too much! What I said is completely true and there is no exaggeration. If you don't believe it, go back and read the notice from the court. , you will know that the villain is definitely not exaggerating!"

Having said this, he paused, observed Xiong Wencan's face, and then smiled and said to the servant: "Maybe you haven't paid attention to things in the north, right? I know that the things in your impression are all from the past. It’s happened! Nowadays, things are completely different from before. Not to mention the military strength of our Ming Dynasty, just the new things happening in the capital can make you... beyond your imagination!"

When Xiong Wencan heard this, he couldn't help but frown. Could it be that, as the waiter said, he was a little behind and even a little ignorant?

For the sake of money, the waiter continued to explain to these outsiders: "Also, the Dongjiang Ming Army used two-bowed warships to fight with North Korea at Pidao, right under the eyes of the Jianlu army. Naval battle. Guest, you may not know that the Korean Navy had more than a hundred warships at that time. But our Dongjiang Navy only sent two warships with two bows! It burned down the entire Korean Navy. Not even a single bow was left behind, but our Ming Dynasty navy didn’t lose a single bow..."

Xiong Wencan couldn't help being shocked when he heard this. He was naturally more concerned about the navy than on land. After all, Zheng Zhilong, whom he relied on, relied on the Navy for his livelihood. If the Ming Dynasty had a powerful navy, then there would be a problem with the previous plan!

Therefore, after hearing this, he immediately interrupted the waiter's introduction and confirmed again: "Is the Dongjiang Navy really that powerful? Just two bows defeated the Korean Navy with more than a hundred bow warships, and he But unscathed?"

After hearing this, the waiter immediately corrected him: "Actually, it's not the Dongjiang Navy, it should be regarded as the Denglai Navy. Governor Denglai originally had a navy under his command, but the new navy commander happened to go to Pi Island, so he only took two Bow…”

"Wait a minute, who is the new naval commander?" Xiong Wencan had some vague guesses after hearing this, but still confirmed.

When the waiter heard this, he smiled and said: "I think your guest has never heard of me. I am quite well-informed in the capital, and I have never heard of him before. This man's name is Li Zhiqi, and he seems to be from the south..."

Hearing this, Xiong Wencan recited the name in his heart: "Li Zhiqi, Li Kuiqi, Li Zhiqi, Li Kuiqi..."

What happened before and after his contact was suddenly confirmed. This Li Zhiqi was definitely the Li Kuiqi who was escorted to Beijing before!

When I thought about Li Kuiqi, he had nothing to do and was appointed the commander of the Denglai Navy by the emperor. He went to Pi Island again and made great achievements. This... isn't this a blessing in disguise? Maybe after this war is over, Li Kuiqi's official position will be higher than Zheng Zhilong!

Xiong Wencan naturally knows Li Kuiqi's abilities very well. This time, he was no longer calm, so much so that he didn't even listen to what the waiter said next. I'm just worried in my heart that the military strength of the imperial court and the strength of the navy are not the same as before. Then I am afraid that the methods I have thought of before cannot be used, otherwise it is very likely to shoot myself in the foot! Then...should that be the end of it?

Xiong Wencan thought this and felt a little unwilling. Could it be that the money really had nothing to do with him?

After thinking for a while, he finally came back to his senses and heard the waiter's introduction: "...after the victory of Changli, when Lu Zhongcheng arrived in the capital, the emperor had already asked the chief minister of the cabinet and all the civil and military officials to greet him. It happened once. It’s the second honor to be welcomed again. But this time it’s a little different..."

"Well, what's the difference?" Xiong Wencan couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable when he heard that Lu Xiangsheng was also just a governor, and yet he was so favored by the emperor and so loved by the people.

After hearing this, the waiter seemed a little emotional and replied: "The main reason why Lu Zhongcheng risked his life and transferred to Shenyang was to follow the emperor's order to rescue the family members of Lord Liu, the commander of Jin Yiwei. Especially Lord Liu's family. Old mother, the emperor praised her as a model for the people of Ming Dynasty..."

"What? What's going on?" Xiong Wencan was a little confused, so he interrupted and asked.

As soon as the waiter heard this, he told the story about brother Liu Xingzuo listening to the teachings of his old mother, and how the old mother sacrificed herself and urged her son to abandon the darkness and turn to the light. Then he sighed: "Good people are rewarded! Mr. Liu's old mother suffered in Liaodong. The emperor specially sent Lu Zhongcheng to rescue people under Jianlu's nose. The emperor is really a kind-hearted man who values ​​love and justice. It's really beyond words..."

When Xiong Wencan heard this, he couldn't help but wander off again, repeating the waiter's conclusion in his heart: "The current emperor is really a gentle man who values ​​love and justice..."

He was struggling with his thoughts here, but at this time, outside the capital city, there was another lively scene.

The cavalry in the distance has come slowly. At the front of the team, a large flag with the word "Lu" fluttering in the wind. Under the banner, there were three carriages accompanying them.

Next to Wen Tiren, the chief minister of the cabinet, stood Liu Xingzuo, the commander of the Jinyiwei. After he saw it from a distance, he could no longer hold back. He clasped his fists to Wen Tiren and said, "Master Wen, I will go to greet you first!"

Wen Tiren naturally knew Liu Xingzuo's mood, smiled and nodded: "Go!"

In fact, Liu Xingzuo was not under Wen Tiren's control, it was just out of politeness. After hearing what Wen Tiren said, he jumped on his horse and galloped away to meet the cavalry coming from a distance.
