    Lu Xiangsheng still didn¡¯t speak, and Yang Sichang also fell into silence for a while. Neither of them knew how to continue the topic. There is a saying that when you meet a close friend, a thousand cups of wine is too little, and a word without speculation is more than enough.  Yang Sichang did not expect, and Lu Xiangsheng also did not expect that their ideas were so different. Lu Xiangsheng knew in his heart that the reason why Yang Sichang said these words was entirely because he did not understand the dangers of building captives at all, but  It is natural to think that rogue bandits are more harmful than built-up bandits. It is true that rogue bandits are indeed a major hazard, but there are not no solutions to control rogue bandits, and there are also solutions that can cure them. The biggest reason why rogue bandits are everywhere is natural and man-made disasters.  , if the Ming Dynasty could return to the level of the Wanli period, I believe there would be no such situation of mourning and mourning, and Li Zicheng would naturally have no room for survival.  Lu Xiangsheng has been to Taiping Mansion. In his mind, it is a paradise where everyone is rich and prosperous. If the Ming Dynasty can follow Liu Yi's method of managing Taiping Mansion and promote it nationwide, then why not worry about ushering in a peaceful and prosperous age?  But the Jianlu were different. They were not of the same mind as the Ming Dynasty, or they were not a country at all. If the Jianlu were not stopped, the Ming Dynasty would repeat the mistakes of the Song Dynasty. Isn¡¯t the lesson of the Mongol cavalry¡¯s occupation of the Central Plains not profound enough?  The Yuan Dynasty divided the people into four classes, and the people were in dire straits. Lu Xiangsheng knew the dangers of building captives, and there was absolutely no way he would allow Yang Sichang's plan to be implemented. It was absolutely impossible to reduce Liao's pay.  Yang Sichang's thoughts were exactly the opposite of Lu Xiangsheng's. He felt that Lu Xiangsheng had never experienced the power of rogue thieves when he was dealing with Jianlu outside the customs. Rogue thieves were like locusts, leaving no grass growing wherever they went, and Li Zicheng and others deceived people's hearts.  Their abilities are extraordinary, no matter how powerful the Jianlu are, they are nothing more than a disease of mustard moss. At the very least, they are barbarians in the eyes of the Central Plains people. Even if they enter the Central Plains, how many people will recognize them?  How many people can they win over scholars, farmers, industry and commerce?  But being a rogue is different. How do you know that Li Zicheng cannot become the next Zhu Yuanzhang?

    (Fisherman¡¯s note, in fact, everyone knows that Lu Xiangsheng¡¯s final outcome in history was to be surrounded by heavy Qing troops in Julu. The direct cause of the Tianxiong Army¡¯s destruction was that Gao Qiqian stood still and did not come to rescue, and just sat back and watched Lu Xiangsheng besieged. And  In fact, the fundamental reason stems from Yang Sichang's constraints on Lu Xiangsheng. Ever since Lu Xiangsheng was granted the power of governor of the world's military by the emperor, Yang Sichang and the civil service group basically never stopped restricting Lu Xiangsheng. In the end, Lu Xiangsheng could only carry 10,000 people with him.  The Tianxiong Army was in danger, and the remaining troops were nominally under Lu Xiangsheng's command, but in fact he could not move anyone. The fisherman believed that Lu Xiangsheng's tragedy could not be subjectively blamed on Yang Sichang, but that it was just a tragedy caused by their political differences.  , or in other words, in order to get the emperor to adopt his opinion, Yang Sichang did not hesitate to use the method of destroying Lu Xiangsheng to achieve his goal. From the perspective of a fisherman, Yang Sichang and most of the civil servants at the time actually held the belief that it was impossible for Jianru to conquer  The Ming Dynasty had a mentality of destroying the country. They believed that although the captives entered the Pass repeatedly and plundered them, they actually did not have the ability to occupy the land in the Pass for a long time. A very important reason was that their number was too small. The people of the Ming Dynasty were more than hundreds of millions.  , The Eight Banners alone cannot form an effective notice at all. The foundation of the Ming Dynasty is in the south. Zhu Yuanzhang also succeeded in the Northern Expedition. As long as the Jianlu could not threaten the areas south of the Yangtze River, the reserve strength of the Ming Dynasty was sufficient and fully capable of counterattack and exhaustion.  Therefore, Yang Sichang suggested that in fighting foreign affairs, one must first stabilize the internal situation, negotiate peace with the rebels, and stabilize them, and then proposed the strategy of building a net in four directions and spreading a net in ten directions. To put it bluntly, it was to mobilize the elite of the Ming army and establish a stronghold in the northwest provinces.  The barrier attacks the wandering thieves from all directions at the same time, suppressing their living space and causing the wandering thieves to run out of food and die.

    But Lu Xiangsheng didn't follow Yang Sichang's routine at all, or he fundamentally disagreed with Yang Sichang's views. Lu Xiangsheng was a staunch fighter. In the process of many battles with Jianlu, he already had advanced awareness, or  He said that he saw the terrible things about Jianqi, including the appointment of Han civilian officials, the establishment of the Eight Mongolian Banners, the Eight Banners of the Han Army, etc., and that Huang Taiji's series of policies completely turned the Jurchens from a tribe into a country, or because they developed too fast  , it only took a short time for the Jurchens to move closer to the Ming Dynasty in terms of system. Lu Xiangsheng fully saw the possibility of the Qing Dynasty becoming the second Yuan Dynasty, so he firmly opposed peace negotiations.  This will inevitably lead to an ideological conflict with Yang Sichang. The most tragic thing is that Lu Xiangsheng has been fighting abroad for a long time and has no grasp of the situation in the DPRK. You know, there are people in the DPRK who are good at serving as officials. Lu Xiangsheng is a high official stationed abroad, but he is  There was no support in the DPRK, so a one-sided situation was formed with Yang Sichang as the leader. Lu Xiangsheng's failure was understandable.  Yang Sichang finally proposed some specific plans, but Lu Xiangsheng may have had poor communication or the plan was immature. In short, when Lu Xiangsheng died, he did not give Emperor Chongzhen a satisfactory plan. Naturally, Chongzhen was suspicious.  His character will be more biased towards Yang Sichang, which indirectly leads to the tragedy of Tianxiong Army.

    In short, the fisherman summarizes Lu Xiangsheng¡¯s final outcome and the reasons for the personal struggle between the ministers.Su should be ranked second. The first thing should be that the historical limitations of the time caused Yang Sichang and Lu Xiangsheng to be like two carriages traveling in opposite directions. In the end, one carriage would fall apart. Unfortunately, Lu Xiangsheng played  this tragic role.  )

    At this point in the reception banquet, Lu Xiangsheng and Yang Sichang no longer had the interest to continue eating. After all, it was the first time they met today and they were so unhappy. From now on, they will have to cooperate to pacify the bandits in Shaanxi. If things are so tense now  , what to do next?  Sun Chuanting wanted to try to smooth things over, but seeing both of them showing displeasure, he didn't know where to start.  Lu Xiangsheng put down his wine glass and breathed a long sigh of relief and said: "Mr. Yang, this is Meng Lang. I have offended many people when I first came here. The traitors are still entrenched in northern Shaanxi. This time, the Holy Lord transferred our Tianxiong Army here to complete his work."  In this battle, I have to rely more on Mr. Yang." Lu Xiangsheng thought that he was a junior, a subordinate, and a guest soldier. It would obviously be inappropriate to contradict Yang Sichang in person. Lu Xiangsheng did not want to make the situation tense, so he took the lead to Yang Sichang.  Make steps.  A high-ranking official like Yang Sichang is naturally not an ordinary person. He still has the skills of a donkey down the slope. Seeing what Lu Xiangsheng said, Yang Sichang didn't have much to say. He picked up the wine glass and said: "After three rounds of wine, the dishes are ready."  After five tastes, I am a little too drunk. Jiandou has worked hard all the way and experienced a battle. He must not have had a good rest yet. Let's go. After drinking this drink, let's disperse first. I believe the soldiers are also tired tonight.  Jiandou and the officers and soldiers of the Tianxiong Army should have a good rest. We will hold a meeting at the government office tomorrow to see how to deal with the bandits next. The men and horses of the Gao Jianjun have also arrived at Tongguan, so it should be time to meet up." Lu Xiangsheng said immediately:  "It's so good, so good."

    "Alas! Chengzhi, it seems we still have a long way to go in the future." Lu Xiangsheng did not stay in Xi'an Fuyamen. Of course, the room specially prepared for Lu Xiangsheng by Sun Chuanting was not used. Lu Xiangsheng went straight back to the city.  In the military camp, he felt more at ease with the soldiers.  There was already a lot of snoring in the military camp. Lu Xiangsheng smiled silently. It seemed that everyone was really tired. They were fighting and marching, marching and fighting. They didn't have a good rest from top to bottom. When they arrived at the door of the big tent, Lu Xiangsheng discovered that the army was  The tent was actually brightly lit, and there were voices inside.  When the sentry saw Lu Xiangsheng and was about to see him, Lu Xiangsheng pressed his hand to signal him to be silent. Lu Xiangsheng opened the door curtain and walked in.  Only then did he realize that Qian Mingde, Yuan Chengzhi, Lu Xiangkun, Lu Xiangguan and other generals had not rested. Although they smelled of alcohol, they were all conscious and were pointing around the map. It seemed that they were  Discussing next steps.  As soon as Lu Xiangsheng came in, he was noticed by Yuan Chengzhi, "Why did Mr. Lu come back so soon?" Yuan Chengzhi asked a little strangely, and Lu Xiangsheng sighed.  When everyone heard what Lu Xiangsheng said, they wondered, could it be that something unpleasant happened at the Jie Feng Banquet?  Lu Xiangsheng waved his hands and said: "Okay, everyone, please stop thinking nonsense. Tomorrow Mr. Yang Sichang will convene the generals to discuss matters in the government office, and we have to come up with a practical plan. You talk about it, and I will listen to it."

    Everyone is not a fool. Lu Xiangsheng's face is not very good. It is obvious that something unpleasant happened just now. But since Lu Xiangsheng is unwilling to say it, they naturally cannot ask more questions. They can only wait until Lu Xiangsheng wants to tell him in the future.  them.  Qian Mingde immediately changed the subject and said: "Oh, sir, that's it. Chengzhi just proposed a plan. The general thinks it's feasible. You might as well listen to it." Lu Xiangsheng looked at Yuan Chengzhi, and Yuan Chengzhi cupped his hands and said, "Sir, it's  In this way, I have a plan. Now that the bandits have definitely returned to the north, since Li Zicheng is from Mizhi, he will definitely end up in Mizhi. If this is the case, we can completely pursue them, take the initiative to attack once, and consume part of their strength again.  ." Lu Xiangsheng raised his head and asked: "How to take the initiative to attack?" Yuan Chengzhi said unhurriedly: "Since we have destroyed their rear army, I believe those who escaped have reported our combat effectiveness to Li Zicheng  , the high-ranking officials of the Flood Thieves also have a certain understanding of us, and there are also counselors among them. If nothing unexpected happens, Li Zicheng will definitely find a way to stage an ambush. This is also in line with the tradition of the Flood Thieves not liking head-on confrontation with strong armies. Our chance  It¡¯s coming.¡± (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
