Chapter 575

Lu Xiangsheng is a man who loves soldiers like a son. He can make soldiers love him and die for him. This is because he is really good to every soldier, just like his family. You are really good to others, and others can really return.

Lu Xiangsheng was very strange. Why did Liu Jun soldiers fight so hard?

Lu Xiangsheng knew that top heroes and nobles like the Liu family could not love soldiers like his son and move everyone with sincerity and sincerity.

He Lu Xiangsheng has the great righteousness of the imperial court, and they all promote the thought of loyalty to the king and patriotism, which is in line with the traditional values. Like their Liu family, they are rebellious anti thieves. Why do these people work so hard?

Thinking of these, Lu Xiangsheng ordered to catch several live mouths. Fortunately, they just successfully caught a live mouth of Liu Jun and were tortured.

The people who caught him wanted to kill the soldier and avenge the dead brothers. Even if they didn't kill them here, they would be dead if they sent them to the court. According to the laws and orders of the court, these traitors were executed.

But Lu Xiangsheng stopped their behavior. Lu Xiangsheng saw that the soldier of Liu Jun was very young and looked quite strong. He seemed a little afraid.

What impressed Lu Xiangsheng was that the other party's equipment, an ordinary soldier, was actually equipped with an iron armor, as well as a waist knife, dagger and short knife. He had a lot of belongings. Only the most elite soldiers in the imperial court had such equipment, but Liu Jiajun was an ordinary soldier. It was amazing.

Lu Xiangsheng asked, "you are an innocent child. Why do you fight against the imperial court? This is a great crime to kill the nine families. Are you worthy of your ancestors and parents?"

The soldier was very afraid, but since Lu Xiangsheng asked him, he said in a trembling voice, "I can't live without joining Liu Jiajun. If I don't join the army, I don't even have to eat."

It's also a proper thing to eat food and be a soldier. Lu Xiangsheng thought there was nothing wrong with it. In this era, as long as you have food, you can recruit soldiers.

Lu Xiangsheng said to him, "you are forced by life to follow the thieves. I will let bygones be bygones, but why did you see the arrival of the Imperial Army, why didn't you abandon your weapons and surrender against Liu fuming?"

The soldier was very afraid, but when he heard Lu Xiangsheng say so, he said: "this is because Liu Jiajun's treatment is very good. Even if he died in the battle, he can get more than 40 liang of silver for burning and burying. There are still 20 mu of irrigated land in his home. I am willing to do anything for these 40 Liang and 20 mu of land."

This sentence shocked many people. Most of the people present were officers, and their property was not only 20 mu and dozens of liang of silver.

But the other side is an ordinary soldier. In the imperial court, only ten or so ordinary soldiers die in battle. They burn and bury silver. Even these ten or so will be embezzled and deducted. According to Liu Jun, these people fight so hard because they don't care about death at all, and even think that death is a way to make them rich.

Everyone is really shocked. If Liu Jun can maintain this kind of pension system, where will soldiers surrender? Where can someone be greedy and afraid of death?

They asked the prisoner about Liu Jiajun's treatment. As soon as they heard about Liu Jiajun's treatment.

These people are completely silent. Their military pay is the same as that of the imperial court. They don't have much more. They basically keep one or two silver a month, but they never deduct it. They also have all the food and accommodation. Especially what they eat, they say that there is meat to eat. This makes many people refresh their new knowledge again. Is this raising soldiers or ancestors? Linqing Liu family is so rich?

When Lu Xiangsheng heard the soldier say this, he said, "it's impossible! Who in the world will raise troops like this? This man is a lie to confuse the public and disturb our army's heart. He pushed it out and killed it."

When the soldier heard that he had been killed, he was so frightened that he turned pale and trembled all over, but in the end he didn't beg for mercy.

If the soldier begged for mercy, he could make these generals have a little balance in their hearts, but he didn't beg for mercy, as if he wanted to die, which made everyone believe that what he said should be true. If it wasn't true, he wouldn't be afraid of death like this!

As an ordinary soldier, it's normal to eat food and be a soldier. It's impossible to say who they work for and who they are loyal to, but if they want to do this and let them die willingly, it really needs to show real kung fu.

When Lu Xiangsheng heard this, he didn't wonder why Liu Jun's soldiers fought so hard and were not afraid of death.

Lu Xiangsheng is also a soldier leader. Although he loves soldiers like a son, he is still a high man after all. He was born as a Jinshi and his foundation is too hard to be hard. What he did was mainly to win over the people and let others work for him, but he asked himself that he could not afford such conditions.

So this made him very helpless. If he fought with such an army, they would not have any advantage.

In the past, he could ask the imperial court for some money and food through his own identity without corruption, so that the conditions of his Tianxiong army were better than those of other Ming armies. Moreover, he Lu Xiangsheng could also win the reward from the imperial court. The soldiers were rewarded for their meritorious deeds and punished for their mistakes. He was very fair and strict, which was also why everyone was willing to work hard for him.

This makes them better than the Ming army of other nationalities, and the soldiers are willing to work for him. However, compared with Liu Jiajun, it is far worse and has no advantage at all. In contrast, it is just a beggar army. The prisoner of Liu Jun who speaks to them is equivalent to the treatment of their officers, How can you fight with others?

Lu Xiangsheng finally found out why Liu Jun worked so hard. After he found out, it made his heart heavy. The other party was a rebel, but their practices and treatment were better than those of the regular army of the imperial court.

Lu Xiangsheng is also a senior official of the Ming Dynasty. He knows that the official administration of the Ming Dynasty is very corrupt, but now what endangers the Ming Dynasty is not the official administration, but the military problem of internal and external difficulties. He must solve the military problem and rectify the official administration before the Ming Dynasty can flourish.

Originally, through their efforts, they succeeded in almost exterminating the roving bandits, but suddenly they jumped out of the Liu family, a stronger and more powerful enemy.

The Liu family was originally a local rich man, rich and without potential, but when they turned into military strength, they were so amazing and terrible. The imperial court regarded the Beijing Hangzhou Grand Canal as the lifeline of life and death. As a result, his lifeline was cut off by the Liu family, which made them unable to accept it anyway. Therefore, they can only make a hard bargain with the Liu family.

However, Lu Xiangsheng is not optimistic about the bloody battle with the Liu family, because the imperial army has been extremely tired and lack of food after continuous fighting. More importantly, the Liu family has completed its control over Shandong, and even King Lu, king of Germany, has fallen into their hands.

In other people's eyes, the two princes fell into the hands of the rebels, which means that the prestige of the imperial court fell sharply. You know, the loss of the prince is a very big crime. When the emperor went to worship the temple, he was ashamed to see his ancestors and ancestors.

Lu Xiangsheng has different views. His different views are that since Liu Jiajun has taken the two royal mansions, it means that they have looted all the property in the Royal mansions and obtained a lot of military supplies. You know, both King de and King Lu have accumulated great wealth after several generations of inheritance and become one of the richest forces in the place.

Among the four big families in Shandong, the Liu family was originally the last and weakest one. As a result, he jumped up and won the other two strongest ones in one fell swoop, gaining their strength and resources, which will make them more powerful. The Liu family in Linqing was already ten points difficult to deal with. After digesting the king De's house and King Lu's house, their strength will only be stronger.

Lu Xiangsheng knows that Shandong is plagued and impoverished by the four families, but this does not mean that Shandong is poor, but Shandong's wealth is basically concentrated in the hands of the four families. Now the Liu family has controlled the three families, which means that they have complete control over the place, and his strength has become stronger. In this way, the Liu family is in great danger, Will be more powerful.

At this point, Lu Xiangsheng suddenly understood that the Liu family had become a force even more terrible than the roving bandits. What was more fatal was that it was entrenched in a strategic place. The situation in the north of the Ming Dynasty had plunged to the point of collapse.

Lu Xiangsheng knew better that since the Liu family had become such a terrible enemy, the imperial court should deploy calmly and eliminate him in an orderly way. Now it's better that the imperial court sent a main army in winter to recapture the Beijing Hangzhou Grand Canal.

On the one hand, it reflected the court's determination to fight the rebellion and vowed not to make peace with the thief, but Lu Xiangsheng thought of a terrible result.

That's what to do if you lose?

They are the last mobile and powerful force that the imperial court can gather up at present.

If they must lose, it means that they can't come up with an army of the same level all next year.

If the Liu family crosses this barrier, they will have more room for slow development, which means that the situation will further collapse.

Thinking of this, Lu Xiangsheng immediately wrote to the court and asked the court to allow him to give up the siege of Nanpi, withdraw to Cangzhou, garrison Hejian, suppress the enemy's attack, and use the army again in Shandong when the spring flowers bloom next year.

Of course, Lu Xiangsheng's letter was only a suggestion, not his own decision. He would never dare not fight until the official imperial edict arrived.

Because his colleague, sun chuanting, told him the end. What would happen if he didn't listen to the emperor's will and the court's orders?
