Go back to the end of the Ming Dynasty to be a soldier

Chapter 196

Liu Zeqing was full of voice and emotion, and he performed the pre-written draft in front of Yang Sichang. Of course, he was distorting the facts, making things out of nothing, confounding black and white, adding fuel and vinegar, and exaggerating, and making false statements.

It should be said that Liu Zeqing's acting skills are still very high. According to historical records, when Li Zicheng's men and horses approached Beijing, Emperor Chongzhen asked Liu Zeqing to lead the army into the capital of Wei. He performed to Emperor Chongzhen, saying that he fell down while riding a horse I was injured and couldn't go, but instead extorted a few taels of silver from Emperor Chongzhen for medical expenses.

For future generations, Liu Zeqing's acting skills are definitely worthy of a third-level actor.

Now Liu Zeqing's performance has described himself as a magnanimous and elegant gentleman, so that he can't fight back when he is beaten, and he can't fight back when he is scolded. He has described Lin Yi as unreasonable, arrogant, domineering, killing his colleagues, disregarding human life, and getting worse. When he talked about the pain, he squeezed out two tears of grievance, and begged the master Qingtian to make decisions for him, the commander-in-chief and the casualties.

Yang Sichang had a clear face, his weather-beaten old face was unpredictable.He listened quietly, and after listening, he said a few words.

"There is such a thing?"

"My lord, the subordinate officials absolutely dare not talk nonsense. Zhu Dadian, the chief soldier of Nanjing, and David Hu, the chief soldier of Baoding, can testify for the subordinate officials. The bodies of more than 1000 dead and wounded soldiers are still there, and they are all waiting for you at the gate of the camp. If you don't believe me, please come to the camp with your lord to have a parent-child inspection." When Liu Zeqing heard that Yang Sichang didn't seem to believe it, he patted his chest and swore it so seriously that he almost didn't swear.

Yang Sichang looked at Zhu Dadian, Hu Dawei and the others, and they both nodded in agreement.

Yang Sichang said: "Well, all right, lead the way."

"The subordinate obeys the order."

Seeing that Yang Sichang agreed, Liu Zeqing was overjoyed.

Lin Yi and Yang Sichang had a feud, and Liu Zeqing also heard about it.Deep down in his heart, this Yang Gebu probably wanted to put Lin Yi to death a long time ago. The reason why he didn't get mad now must be waiting for an opportunity. As far as the matter in front of him is concerned, it is the best excuse.This old man in the officialdom must be extremely happy at this moment.Don't look at him showing his face on the surface, he doesn't want to leave people with false publicity and selfish revenge.

On the surface, he was still looking grand and business-like, and he had long been familiar with the masks of these officials and lords.

This time when I went to my camp and saw that so many soldiers had died again, I was bound to be furious and punished Lin Yi immediately.

Kid surnamed Lin, this time I'll let you go around!
Thinking of this, Liu Zeqing felt as refreshed as if he had taken a betel nut shunqi pill.

Under the guidance of Liu Zeqing, Yang Sichang brought a group of staff including Zhu Dianhu and David to the vicinity of Liu Zeqing's camp gate.

Sure enough, I saw rows of corpses, many of which were unclear, dripping with blood.

Those wounded generals, seeing their commander in chief and Yang Gebu and others had come, quickly showed their injuries to the fullest, because Liu Zeqing let them use steel to sharpen their blades.

Some had bandages on their heads, some had their arms hanging, some had no arms or legs, some were being carried, and some were being held up, all groaning, it was horrible.

Yang Sichang frowned after reading it, and asked several injured generals about the reason and process of the conflict between the two sides.These people are even better at performing, weeping and crying, which is consistent with what Liu Zeqing said.Ask the adults to take the initiative to uphold justice and severely punish Ji Dong, who are bold and reckless.

Yang Sichang nodded after reading it, and Liu Zeqing secretly looked at Yang Sichang's face, but still couldn't see any anger.

Liu Zeqing had to admire Yang Sichang's official conduct, he must have a plan in mind, after all, Lin Yi has the military power in his hands.To deal with him, you must pay attention to some strategies.Their civil servants are better at this, just wait!
Thinking of this, Liu Zeqing held back.

After thinking for a while, Yang Sichang finally spoke.

"Liu Zongbing, the cabinet has its own opinion on this matter. At noon tomorrow, you and Lin Yi, the commander-in-chief of Miyun, will have a banquet in the tent of the cabinet."

"Go...to the banquet?" Liu Zeqing was taken aback, looked at Zhu Dadian and Hu Dawei, as if he didn't hear clearly, his eyes fell on Yang Sichang's face again.

Yang Sichang nodded, "Zhu Zongbing and Hu Zongbing will also come at that time."

"Yes, yes... yes." The three commanders agreed one after another.

After Yang Sichang finished speaking, he left with his staff.

"Respectfully send off, Master Gebu." The three chief soldiers respectfully.

Liu Zeqing, who thinks he is smart, quickly figured it out. Did you see that the Yang Ge Department has already made plans, it must be the Hongmen Banquet, the boy surnamed Lin, as soon as he comes, the Yang Ge Department will definitely ambush him, take him down, and then chop him into meat.

Liu Zeqing was really happy, and Yang Sichang, who hadn't walked a few steps, came back again.

"Remember, when you come at noon tomorrow, ask Li Canjun to come too, bring his spirit monkey, and order him to bring 50000 taels of silver."

"Ah? Ah... Ah, okay, okay, I'm taking orders." Liu Zeqing's big face tightened, he hesitated twice, then nodded and bowed in obedience.

Only then did Yang Sichang turn around and leave again.

"Respectfully send off, my lord, go all the way well." Liu Zeqing bowed deeply to Yang Sichang's back. The bowed upper body was parallel to the ground and perpendicular to the lower body, which could no longer be standard and respectful.

After Yang Sichang and the others left, Zhu Dadian and Hu Dawei gave Liu Zeqing a thumbs-up, then smiled tacitly at each other, and the two general officers also left.

Liu Zeqing didn't want to stay, he was afraid of being scouted by Lin Yi.

After all these people had left, Liu Zeqing gave an order to bury more than 1000 corpses. A large pit was dug next to the barracks, and those injured were brought into the camp for treatment, needless to say.

"Master, why did Master Gebu let Ben join the army to the banquet and bring this crippled monkey with him? You have to prepare 50000 taels of silver?" Li Huajing asked puzzled.

"Don't you understand that? Mr. Yang is going to hold a grand banquet. Didn't the person surnamed Lin put forward three conditions? I think you should make some fuss about it. The boy surnamed Lin is brave. Your lord is a civil servant. Your lord knows you." Fame, one more you and a monkey by his side, he feels safe."

Li Huajing gritted his teeth, "This subordinate is a little flattered, but that's not bragging, don't look at this monkey is injured, it's not a problem that it can be used as a few soldiers if it fights, Master Cabinet thinks Really thoughtful, but this kid surnamed Lin, what should I do if I dare not come tomorrow?"

"You mean the surname Lin, hiding like a turtle? Then where can he hide? He can hide on the first day of the junior high school but not on the fifteenth day. Yang Gebu invited him to a banquet to give him face. In other words, it is also an order. Would he dare not come? Even if he knew about the pit, he would have to jump in with his eyes wide open, would he still be able to fly?" Liu Zeqing shook his head like a rattle.

"That's what the master said. Let's bring more soldiers tomorrow. Lin is the enemy of ten thousand people."

"We definitely don't need to worry about the ambush, but we still have some preparations. Just in case, we bring some more firecrackers. No matter how strong his martial arts surname is Lin, can he still avoid the firecrackers? By then As long as someone surnamed Lin dares to blast his thorns, he will be fired at random, and he will be beaten into a sieve."

"Master is very thoughtful, this subordinate will prepare now!"...

On the north bank of the Baishui River, Lin Yi's camp.

After Lin Yi returned to the camp, he visited the wounded soldiers in the conflict between the two armies.

The next day, Lin Yi and the generals were looking at the trophies, including knives and spears, tents and drums, and grain and grass piled up like mountains.

These days, we have won many battles, from Shetatian to Guotianxing, to Luo Rucai, from northern Shaanxi to southern Shaanxi, any battle can get a lot of spoils, all of these things.

Therefore, Ji Dong was already used to these conventional trophies. He took a quick look and found that there were quite a lot captured this time. No wonder Luo Ru became famous and his family was so rich.

Luo Rucai and others also robbed many women from good families, Lin Yi sent an order to release them all.Some of Luo Rucai's concubines got the courage from who knows where, but two of them were still unwilling to leave, and even expressed their willingness to stay and serve Ji Dong.

Lin Yi ordered people to blow them away.

He brought Xiaoying, Zhezhe, Zhang Hua and others to the spot where the money was counted.

Wang Jian, who was in charge of putting the food into the treasury, was leading his soldiers to count and enter the money.

This time, the sum of the white silver and the golden gold is 10,000+ taels.These were all snatched by Luo Rucai, and of course they were the officials, gentry and wealthy households of the Ming Dynasty, so Lin Yi felt at ease getting these things.

After Lin Yi entered the account, of course he would not hand it over to the court.It's not that Lin Yi is full of private pockets, and he doesn't have the heart of the world and the common people.

Rather, he knew that the declining Ming Dynasty was a bottomless pit, and no amount of money could fill this pit.Save these silvers for yourself, and recruit soldiers and horses in the future to expand your own strength.If you want to do a vigorous career in this troubled world, you can't do it without soldiers and horses, let alone money and food if you have soldiers and horses.He doesn't have much hope for the court's food and salary now.

Seeing Lin Yi coming, Wang Jian quickly got up and saluted to report the situation of Yinzi.

At this moment, a reporter ran over.

"My lord, Yang Ge has sent an invitation card, and I will invite you to have a banquet in his tent at noon tomorrow."
