The Tianxiong Army originated in the Tang Dynasty and its capital was located in Weizhou, which was later Daming Prefecture. However, the one who truly made this historical term famous was a strange man during the Chongzhen period.

That person is Lu Xiangsheng.

In the Renxu examination in the second year of Tianqi, Wen Zhenmeng, who later became the imperial teacher, won the top scorer and his great-grandfather Wen Zhengming. The current chief minister Chen Yan is also a Jinshi in this subject, ranking 53rd in the second place, much behind Ni Yuanlu, the Minister of Revenue Ni Yuanlu - Ni Yuanlu is the second place 23rd in the second place. Before them, there were the sixth governor of Shaanxi Wang Qiaonian, and after them there were Huang Daozhou, Li Mingrui, Wen Anzhi, and Qi Biaojia, all of whom were famous, and they were full of talents.

Lu Xiangsheng ranked 58th in the second grade, neither up nor down, nor conspicuous enough, but he personally created a powerful army in the late Ming Dynasty - the Tianxiong Army.

In the second year of Chongzhen, the Eastern Captains invaded and besieged Beijing. Lu Xiangsheng, who was then the prefect of Daming Prefecture, recruited 10,000 soldiers and joined the guards to serve the king. Because Daming Prefecture was the Tianxiong Army in ancient times, he was given the title of Tianxiong Army. In the third year of Chongzhen, Lu Xiangsheng entered Hebei to serve the right party and was ordered to rectify the troops of Daming, Guangping and Shunde. In the sixth year of Chongzhen, the right chief censor began to suppress the bandits. Under his command, the King of Breakings Gao Yingxiang fled in Zhuxianzhen, turned his head and bumped into Sun Chuanting's army and was captured and executed. Ma Huihui, the star of Tianxing, the King of Qiqi was destroyed one after another, and the bandit camps were about to be completely suppressed.

In the ninth year of Chongzhen, the Donggu was invaded by Xuanfu and Datong, and the capital was in a hurry. The Ming court ordered Lu Xiangsheng to defend the capital and give Shang Fang sword again. The bandits all breathed a sigh of relief, glad that "King Lu Yan" had left.

In the 11th year of Chongzhen, the Eastern Barbarians entered the pass in two groups and surrounded the capital. Lu Xiangsheng was ordered to govern the world with Governor Xuanda, and gave Shangfang a sword for the third time, and brought his Tianxiong army back to the battlefield against the Dongli. However, Chongzhen trusted Yang Sichang at that time and secretly favored the Qing army to discuss peace. Yang Sichang was extremely dissatisfied with Lu Xiangsheng's flag, the chief military eunuch Gao Qi secretly divided Lu Xiangsheng's military power, and then remained silent, causing Lu Xiangsheng to be surrounded by the Qing army.

Lu Xiangsheng, the commander who governed the world, finally had to take five thousand remaining soldiers to the battlefield and eventually died in the battlefield.

I'm afraid there will be no one after Yue Fei if he is so unfair.

"At that time, Gao Qiqian was holding Zu Kuan's 50,000 Guanning Iron Cavalry in Jize. Less than fifty miles away from Jiazhuang, where the Supervisor was surrounded! More than 30,000 Jiannu cavalry attacked the remaining soldiers of the Supervisor, and Baoding Governor Zhang Qiping refused to pay the salary, and the camp was cut off for several days!" Xiao Donglou felt his nose sore, and his injured eyes were sore.

He raised his hand gently, trying to cover his eyes, but he was afraid of being rude, so he pressed down.

"Is it too angry in the tent?" Zhu Cixuan looked at the tough-shaped hero and said softly: "Come on, remove the stove."

"Your Highness..." Xiao Donglou's voice was a little choked.

"You keep talking." Zhu Cixuan waved his hand, "I also heard about Du Lu's deeds when I was in the palace, but I don't know what happened after him."

"At that time, the commander's troops were fighting fiercely, and the sound of the sound was moving. From Chenshi to Weishi, the artillery and arrows were all exhausted. The villain was the personal soldier of the commander at that time, and he heard the commander say, "Help the country, at this moment!" Then he charged himself. He killed dozens of people with his own hands, and got three or four arrows. He landed under the horse. At that time, the villain was also stabbed several times, and his head was cut by an armored soldier in the East. His eyes were covered with blood. He could still see the palm shepherd Yang Lukai pounced on the commander's body, and in a blink of an eye, he was filled with arrows on his back." Xiao Donglou raised his hand to cover the scars on his face. He said in one breath.

Zhu Cilang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I know this after Du Lu died. Regardless of his merits and demerits, Yang Sichang was so arrogant and destined to his loyal ministers. He was ultimately a stain on him."

"Yang thief... that villain Yang Sichang!" Xiao Donglou said angrily: "Since the commander led the troops, he has never had any defeat! Especially in Yunyang, he won nine battles and beheaded more than 10,000 people! He also defeated Gao Yingxiang with three thousand soldiers, and was a real general! If it weren't for the villain's rule and the charming Shengting, how could the supervisor fall into such a fate!"

"Be careful of your words," Wu Weiye coughed dryly and reminded him.

Xiao Donglou then realized that the emperor's eldest son was the emperor's eldest son, so how could he say "the emperor"?

Zhu Cixuan disagreed and asked, "What are the plans for the hero in the future?"

Xiao Donglou opened his mouth and hesitated: "We are all damn people. Since we escaped by chance, we always think about the teaching of the supervisor's 'loyalty, filial piety and sincerity' - those four words are still hanging in...uh, the villain's family. If your Highness does not dislike the despicable and humble people, we are willing to drive your Highness."

Zhu Cilang smiled on his face and stepped forward to help Xiao Donglou up and said, "The talented and capable people are willing to serve the country. This is the blessing of the country! However, now the military discipline of the officers and soldiers is dispersed, and the people are afraid of it like a tiger and a bandit. Therefore, I have set some rules in the Eastern Palace Guard Camp. You can take a look first. If you live a bad habit, you can also take the reward silver and go home to live a peaceful life."

"Your Highness, military discipline is the basis of military governance, and our Tianxiong Army's military discipline is also very strict." Xiao Donglou grinned. His smile touched the muscles on his face, making the scar particularly twisted, which scared Wu Weiye so scared that he took a deep breath.

"As for the posthumous title given to Governor Lu," Zhu Cilang paused: "But I can't agree to you now. This will be submitted by the ministers of the Ministry of Rites, and then the Holy Emperor will make a decision."

Xiao Donglou's enthusiasm was like a basin of cold water being poured, which was extinguished very much.

"But..." Zhu Cixuan pulled Xiao Donglou's arm and walked outside the tent, pointing to the uniform military appearance and distinctly arranged East Palace guards: "What do you think of this division brigade?"

"It's a strong army in the world!" Xiao Donglou sincerely praised: "Not inferior to my Tianxiong Army!"

"That's good." Zhu Cilang said in a loud voice: "If you can uphold the way of Duke Lu's loyalty and filial piety, I will hand over this strong army to you as an admiral, and I will still call it the "Tianxiong Army". After you, there will naturally be other powerful generals. As long as my emperor is undestroyed, there will be one person in this army, and the name of Duke Lu can continue for thousands of years! Duke Lu's loyal soul will also be with this army, and the fragrance will remain forever!"

"This...this..." Xiao Donglou suddenly didn't know what to say, and after holding it in for a long time, he said: "Your Highness, can you worship Duke Lu in the army?"

"The heroic spirits of all army must be sacrificed on time and be offered to incense to teach later generations to know." Zhu Cilang said clearly: "As for Du Lu, when he will be able to practice the military history of the Tianxiong Army in the future, he will naturally be ranked first."

"The military history of Tianxiong Army..." Xiao Donglou Yimeng: "Is Your Highness going to write a biography for Duke Lu!"

"Each army has military history. As the pioneer of the Tianxiong Army, Duke Lu naturally has a history." Zhu Cilang smiled and said, "This is also because I have climbed the high branches and have to join the famous ministers of all ages."

"The villain is willing to serve you to die!" Xiao Donglou fell to the ground. When the cool breeze blew, a series of tears came out of his injured eyes and fell on the ground.

"After you go back, you will first organize the list. Those who are willing to stay in the army will be assigned to the recruit battalion for training, and only after the training is over can be given a position. Those who are unwilling to stay in the army can reward them with great rewards. If you want to buy land in your hometown, you can also follow my order to meet local officials. In short, it is best to follow their own voluntary duties." Zhu Cixuan said.

"The villain understands!" Xiao Donglou said excitedly.

"You can give up." Zhu Cilang smiled and patted Xiao Donglou's shoulder, asking him to get up.

Compared to the captured Prime Minister Niu Jinxing of Dashun, Zhu Cilang was even happier to be the former subordinate of this Tianxiong Army.

On that day, Lu Xiangsheng died in the formation, and the Tianxiong Army was also incorporated into the Xuan Da Army, scattered under the command of generals of various departments, completely obscured in the torrent of history.

As the theory of ink says, if you drop a drop of ink into a cup of water, the whole cup of water will turn black. But if you drop a drop of ink into the rivers, there will be no change at all. The Tianxiong Army, which was incorporated into other troops, is like ink falling into rivers, lakes and seas, and is quickly assimilated. And this remaining Tianxiong Army, which became bandits, has preserved the tradition of Tianxiong Army more and is a more "pure" Tianxiong Army. Using them as seeds and using strict Eastern Palace Constitutions to irrigate, what kind of giant trees will grow?

Zhu Cilang himself was looking forward to it.

"Your Highness," Wu Weiye walked up to Zhu Cixuan, "These people said they were Lu Du's troops, so why do they look a little bandit-like? "

——You can see it all, will I not be able to see it?

Zhu Cilang shook his head and said, "How can ordinary people know those secret things? Don't be too careful, do your own things well. Go and bring Niu Jinxing up."

Wu Weiye wanted to say something again. Seeing that His Royal Highness was so determined, he had to shake his head, and sighed that he was not appreciated by talent and could not be used. (To be continued, please search for astronomy, novels are better and faster!
