Chapter 1274 Breaking Up Unhappily

Lu Xiangsheng still didn't say anything, and Yang Sichang fell into silence for a moment. Both of them didn't know how to continue the topic. It's said that when you meet a close friend, you can drink a thousand cups, and you don't say a lot. Yang Sichang didn't expect that Lu Xiangsheng didn't expect that the two of them had such a big difference in their ideas. Lu Xiangsheng knew in his heart that Yang Sichang said this was entirely because he didn't understand the harm of Jianlu at all, but took it for granted that the harm of the thief was greater than that of Jianlu. Indeed, the thief was indeed one.

The great harm, but there are not no plans to control thieves, and there are also plans to cure them. The biggest reason for the thieves are everywhere is natural disasters and man-made disasters. If the Ming Dynasty could return to the level of the Wanli period, I believe that this kind of sadness would not have occurred, and Li Zicheng naturally had no room for survival. Lu Xiangsheng of Taiping Prefecture had been there. In his mind, it was a paradise where everyone was rich without picking up their own houses at night. If the Ming Dynasty could follow the method of Liu Yi's governance of Taiping Prefecture.

Promotion, why worry about not being able to welcome a peaceful and prosperous era? But Jianlu is different. They are not the same as the Ming Dynasty, or they are not the same country at all. If they do not stop Jianlu, then the Ming Dynasty will repeat the mistakes of the Song Dynasty. Is the lesson of the Mongolian cavalry occupying the Central Plains not profound enough? The Yuan Dynasty divided the people into four classes, and the people were living in poverty. Lu Xiangsheng knew the harm of Jianlu. He would never allow Yang Sichang's plan to be realized and cut Liao salary. That would never be possible. Yang Sichang's thoughts in his mind were as good as Lu Xiangsheng's.

On the contrary, he felt that Lu Xiangsheng had never experienced the power of the thief when dealing with the Jianlu outside the pass. The thief was like a locust, and there was no grass everywhere he went. Moreover, Li Zicheng and others had extraordinary ability to bewitch people. No matter how powerful the Jianlu was, it was just a disease of mustard moss. At least in the eyes of the people of the Central Plains, they were barbarians. Even if they entered the Central Plains, how many people would recognize them? How many people could they win over the hearts of scholars, farmers, industry and commerce? But the thief was different. How could Li Zicheng not become the next Zhu Yuanzhang?

(Fisherman's note, in fact, everyone knows that the final outcome of Lu Xiangsheng in history was that Julu was surrounded by heavy troops in the Qing army. The direct reason for the destruction of Tianxiong Army was that Gao Qiqian did not move his troops and did not come to rescue him. He sat and watched Lu Xiangsheng be surrounded. In fact, the fundamental reason was that Yang Sichang was constrained by Lu Xiangsheng. Since Lu Xiangsheng was granted the power of governor to the world by the emperor, Yang Sichang and the civil servant group had basically never stopped constraining Lu Xiangsheng. In the end, Lu Xiangsheng could only bring 10,000 Tianxiong troops in danger. The remaining troops were nominally dispatched by Lu Xiangsheng, but in fact he could not call anyone. The fisherman thought that Lu Xiangsheng's tragedy actually could not blame Yang Sichang subjectively. They were just tragedies caused by disagreement in politics, or in other words, in order to get the emperor to adopt his opinion, Yang Sichang did not hesitate to destroy Lu Xiangsheng to achieve his goal. From the fisherman's perspective, Yang Sichang and the great ones at that time were at that time.

Some civil officials actually had the mentality that Jianlu could not destroy the Ming Dynasty. They believed that although Jianlu entered the pass repeatedly and plundered, they actually did not have the ability to occupy the land in the pass for a long time. One very important reason was that their number was too small. The Ming people were more than 100 million. Just relying on the Eight Banners, it could not form an effective notice. The Ming Dynasty's foundation was in the south. Zhu Yuanzhang also succeeded in the northern expedition. As long as Jianlu could not threaten the area south of the Yangtze River, the Ming Dynasty's reserve strength was sufficient, and he was fully capable of counterattacking and exhausting Jianlu. Therefore, Yang Sichang suggested that the foreign defense must first settle the country, first propose peace with Jianlu, stabilize them, and then proposed the strategy of setting up a net in four directions and six corners, and ten sides. To put it bluntly, it is to mobilize the elite of the Ming army to establish barriers in various provinces in the northwest, attack the thieves at the same time from all directions, oppress their living space, and let the thieves lose food and lose their lives.

But Lu Xiangsheng did not follow Yang Sichang's routine at all, or he fundamentally disagrees with Yang Sichang's point of view. Lu Xiangsheng was a firm pro-war faction. During the many battles with Jianlu, he had already developed a forward-looking consciousness. Or he saw the terrible parts of Jianlu, including the appointment of Han civil servants, the establishment of Mongolian Eight Banners, the Han army Eight Banners, etc., and Huang Taiji's series of policies completely turned the Jurchens from tribes to a country. Or because of the rapid development, the Jurchens only took a short time to move closer to the Ming Dynasty in the system. Lu Xiangsheng completely saw the possibility of the Qing Dynasty becoming the second Yuan, so he firmly opposed peace talks. This would inevitably form with Yang Sichang.

Conflicts in concepts, and the most tragic thing is that Lu Xiangsheng has been fighting abroad for a long time and has not grasped the situation in the court. It is said that some people in the court are easy to be an official, and Lu Xiangsheng is a senior official stationed abroad, but no one supports him in the court, so a one-sided situation led by Yang Sichang was formed. Then Lu Xiangsheng's failure was reasonable. Moreover, Yang Sichang at least proposed some specific plans, but Lu Xiangsheng may be due to poor communication or immature plans. In short, when Lu Xiangsheng died, he did not give Emperor Chongzhen a satisfactory plan. Naturally, Chongzhen's suspicious personality would be more biased towards Yang Sichang, which indirectly led to the tragedy of the Tianxiong Army.

In short, the fisherman summarized Lu Xiangsheng's final outcome. The factors of personal struggle between ministers should be ranked second. The first one should be the historical limitations at that time, which led to Yang Sichang and Lu Xiangsheng being exactly like two horses walking oppositely. In the end, one horse will fall apart. Unfortunately, Lu Xiangsheng played this tragic role.)

At this point, Lu Xiangsheng and Yang Sichang no longer had the interest to continue eating. After all, the two of them had such an unhappy relationship today. They had to cooperate to pacify the bandits in Shaanxi in the future. If they were so stale now, what should they do in the future? Sun Chuanting wanted to make a few words to smooth things over, but when they saw that they were both unhappy, they didn't know where to start. It was Lu Xiangsheng who put down the wine glass and breathed a sigh of relief: "Mr. Yang, it's Meng Lang, you're the old official. You've been here for the first time and offended you. At present, the bandits are still entrenched in northern Shaanxi. This time, the Lord transferred our Tianxiong Army to achieve his contributions and rely more on Lord Yang." Lu Xiangsheng thought that he was a junior, a junior, or a guest soldier. If he contradicted Yang Sichang in person, it was obvious that Yu Li

If it is not in line, Lu Xiangsheng didn't want to make the situation stiff, so he took the lead in creating a step for Yang Sichang. Of course, he is not ordinary people who can be a major official, and he still has the ability to do so. Seeing Lu Xiangsheng say this, Yang Sichang didn't have much to say, so he picked up the wine glass and said, "I have been drinking for three rounds and dishes for five flavors. I am also a little overwhelmed by the alcohol. Jiandou worked hard all the way and went through a big battle. I guess I haven't had a good rest yet. In this way, after drinking this cup, we will disperse first. I guess the soldiers are tired. Jiandou and the soldiers of the Tianxiong Army will have a good rest tonight. Tomorrow our government office will discuss matters to see how to deal with the bandits next. The high-ranking military supervisors have also arrived in Tongguan. It should be time to meet up." Lu Xiangsheng immediately said, "It's so good, so good."

"Oh! Chengzhi, it seems that we still have a long way to go in the future." Lu Xiangsheng did not stay overnight in the yamen of Xi'an Prefecture. Of course, the room prepared by Sun Chuanting specially made for Lu Xiangsheng was useless. Lu Xiangsheng went straight back to the military camp in the city, and he was still more at ease with the soldiers. The military camp was already snoring, and Lu Xiangsheng smiled silently. It seemed that everyone was really tired. It was also because of the war, march and war, and there was no rest from top to bottom. When he arrived at the door of the big tent, Lu Xiangsheng found that the tent was brightly lit and there was a sound of talking inside. When the sentry saw Lu Xiangsheng was about to meet, Lu Xiangsheng pressed his hand and signaled him not to speak. Lu Xiangsheng opened the curtain and walked in.

It was only then that Qian Mingde, Yuan Chengzhi, Lu Xiangkun, Lu Xiangguan and other members did not rest. Although they looked drunk, they were all sober and were lying around the map, which seemed to be discussing the next plan. As soon as Lu Xiangsheng came in, he was discovered by Yuan Chengzhi. "Why is Mr. Lu back so soon?" Yuan Chengzhi said a little strangely, and Lu Xiangsheng sighed. When everyone heard Lu Xiangsheng say this, they felt a reminder. Could it be that something unpleasant happened at the reception banquet? Lu Xiangsheng waved his hand and said, "Okay, don't think too much. Tomorrow, Lord Yang Sichang will summon the generals to discuss matters in the government office. We must come up with practical plans. Tell me, let me listen."

No one is a fool, Lu Xiangsheng's face is not very good. Obviously something unpleasant happened just now, but since Lu Xiangsheng is unwilling to say it, they naturally don't ask much. They can only wait for Lu Xiangsheng to say it later and will naturally tell them when Lu Xiangsheng wants to say it. Qian Mingde immediately changed the topic and said, "Oh, sir, that's it. Chengzhi just proposed a plan. I will think it's feasible. You may as well listen." Lu Xiangsheng looked at Yuan Chengzhi, and Yuan Chengzhi bowed and said, "Sir, that's it. I have a plan. Now the thief has clearly returned to the north. Since Li Zicheng is a Mizhi person, the last one
