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

Chapter 202 Moving to Henan
After unloading the imperial wine and imperial meat, Lin Yi sent an order to reward the three armies and congratulated them lavishly.He also told the kitchen that everyone has a share and is equal regardless of whether they are officers or soldiers, regardless of their position.

The soldiers were all in high spirits. You must know that being able to eat and drink with wine and meat was a luxury and rare thing for the generals in the late Ming Dynasty, especially on the journey of aid and suppression. The wine and meat are not only rare, but this kind of glory is something that can't be met, and some people can't meet it once in a lifetime.

Therefore, more than 2 soldiers will give orders, and it will be very lively, like a festival.When they were eating and drinking, they were all grateful for the great kindness of the emperor, and of course they were more grateful for the kindness of Lord Lin, especially those captives who were adapted from the rogues. Fortunately, they chose the right path and followed the right person, otherwise, don't It is said that eating and drinking here is infinitely beautiful, and the head has been moved long ago, and even the graves of the ancestors have been dug up.

The reason why they are today is of course thanks to Lord Lin, and in the future, they must follow the lead of Lord Lin.In their hearts, they even regarded Ji Dong as their reborn parents, reborn parents.

Lin Yi opened the flying fish suit, and after Xiaoying and Zhezhe helped him put it on and tidied it up, Lin Yiyan became a second-rank official in the imperial court. Style, people are clothes and horses are saddles, this outfit is red and purple, and it looks like a groom official, Xiaoying and Zhezhe are a little dazed, this beautiful young man with a beautiful face and a suave face is the brother Lin who I get along with day and night. ?They were almost unrecognizable.

A few days later, the military order arrived. Li Wenhai, head of the Ministry of War, brought a few entourages with him, and brought Yang Sichang's military order, ordering Lin Yi to move to Nanyang immediately, and join forces with Nanjing soldiers and Baoding soldiers to encircle and suppress the bandit Li Zicheng.

Ji Dong knew that the strongest opponent had finally come!

If the history at the end of the explanation is a big drama of martial arts hegemony, then Li Zicheng is undoubtedly one of the most expected to win the position of leader.And now he has completed a new round of closed-door training and has returned to the arena.Ji Dong was going to face such an opponent, so he had to be cautious.

After Lin Yi received the order, he let Li Wenhai into the camp. They had tea first and then wine. consistent with historical records.

A year ago, Li Zicheng fell into the tricks of Hong Chengchou, the governor of the three sides. In the first battle of Tongguan Nanyuan, he was ambushed by Cao Bianjiao, one of the most capable generals in Ming Dynasty. , broke out of the siege and fled into Shangluo Mountain, lingering on his last breath.

At that time, including Hong Chengchou, it was believed that Li Zicheng's entire army had been wiped out, but his soldiers searched all over the mountains and fields for identification and verification, but they never found Li Zicheng's body.Hong Chengchou felt that this big fish might have slipped through the net, but in the memorial to the court, they still exaggerated their achievements in annihilating Li Zicheng. In their view, Li Zicheng was either dead or disabled.

But wolves eat meat when they travel all over the world, and dogs eat shit when they travel all over the world.

Li Zicheng and other eighteen cavalry quickly found some soldiers of the old battalion. Li Zicheng's old battalion was equivalent to Lin Yi's standard battalion. It was the most powerful in his team, and the leader was Hao Yaoqi.This is Li Zicheng's famous hero. This man was originally Gao Yingxiang's subordinate. He was originally a standard bearer in the army. He didn't know his name, but his nickname was Hao Yaoqi.The reason why he got such a nickname is because he was too brave. Whenever he fought with the army, he took the lead in the charge, waved the banner and shouted to kill the enemy, and then won the battle. Because everyone gave him a good name, called Hao Yaoqi , his real name has been forgotten for a long time.After King Gao Chuang (Gao Yingxiang) was killed in battle, Li Zicheng took over the banner and called him King Li Chuang. After Hao Yaoqi joined Li Zicheng's command, he didn't know what his real name was, but he was only called Hao Yaoqi.

This time Hao Yaoqi also broke out with a few hundred troops, joined forces with Li Zicheng in Shangluo Mountain, and temporarily lived in seclusion in the mountain. Later, he contacted the women's camp, and the female camp leader was Gao Guiying.

This woman is not simple.If there is an unknown woman behind every successful man, Gao Guiying is undoubtedly the woman behind Li Zicheng.

Having said that, I have to talk about Li Zicheng's woman.Speaking of Li Zicheng's women are all legendary, there are only three who can really be called his wives, and there are countless other dewy confidante couples.

Li Zicheng's first woman was Han Jiner, but Han Jiner's first man was not Li Zicheng.Han Jin'er is a famous big beauty. She was famous far and wide when she was 14 years old, and she was very romantic.Li Zicheng married her when he was a postman in his hometown, but he couldn't drive this woman. When Li Zicheng was not at home, Han Jin'er put on the first green hat for Li Zicheng, and he wore it firmly. Li Zicheng killed her in a rage.

After becoming a thief in the rebellion, Li Zicheng met a second woman, the Xing family. The Xing family is not a weak woman. .After marrying Li Zicheng, the Xing family was good at financial management. In the military management logistics, they met tall and handsome Gao Jie, who was later Xingping Bo, one of the four towns in Nanming Jiangbei. This is Li Zicheng's iron brother and his pioneer officer. The two fell in love at first sight, first had an affair and then eloped. In this way, Mrs. Xing put on a second cuckold for Li Zicheng, which was more realistic than the first one and could not be removed.

In the battle with the government army, Li Zicheng was injured and arrested and imprisoned. He met a noble man named Gao Ligong.After he was released from prison, Gao Ligong often bribed the jailer to give Li Zicheng food and drink. After Li Zicheng escaped, he was grateful for Gao Ligong's kindness and stayed at Gao Ligong's home to recuperate.Gao Ligong's younger sister is Gao Guiying, who takes care of Li Zicheng.Gao Guiying also has a younger brother, Gao Yigong. The Gao family is a martial arts family. The three brothers and sisters are all highly skilled in martial arts. Their uncle is Gao Yingxiang, the leader of the famous peasant army.Gao Guiying is well educated and well-versed in military books and war strategies. Not only is she beautiful, but she also has good martial arts, especially her swordsmanship is superb, and Li Zicheng's swordsmanship is superb. The two of them are learning martial arts together , The combination of swords and swords is invincible in the world, so the two fell in love for a long time, and Li Zicheng married Gao Guiying, who is all-rounder in civil and military affairs.

Since then, Gao Guiying has become Li Zicheng's virtuous housemate. When she took care of the logistics and family members for her, she also set up a women's battalion and trained a special team for Li Zicheng. This team of hundreds of people is composed of women and children. Possess unique skills and be good at fighting.The representatives of the women's battalion are Huiying and Huimei, and the representatives of the child soldiers are Shuangxi and Zhang Nai. The younger is less than ten years old, and the older is fifteen or sixteen years old. He has repeatedly made outstanding achievements, and once he broke Li Zicheng's siege, and now Zhang Nai has become the leader of Li Zicheng's personal soldiers.

In Shangluo Mountain, Li Zicheng reunited with Gao Guiying and his wife. Later, some famous generals like Liu Fangliang and Yuan Zongdi joined in with their remnants.

During Zhang Xianzhong’s Gucheng Uprising, Li Zicheng’s generals included Liu Zongmin, Hao Yaoqi, Li Guo, Gao Yigong, Liu Fangliang, Tian Jianxiu, and Yuan Zongdi. There are Li Laiheng, Liu Tichun, Bai Minghe, Lan Yingcheng, etc., who are also very brave.If you count Li Zicheng's women's battalion and child soldiers, although Li Zicheng's soldiers are not many, they are all elites who are used to fighting.

In addition, the situation at that time was very favorable to Li Zicheng. Zhang Xianzhong in Gucheng rebelled, Luo Rucai in Yunzhou rebelled, and Ma Huihui also responded in the Huguang area. flag, the Peasant Army showed the trend of starting a prairie fire again.

After Li Zicheng's thousands of troops came out of Shangluo Mountain, they fought one battle and won one battle. Although the officers and soldiers retreated steadily, Cao Bianjiao, Zuo Guangxian, and Ma Ke, the elites of the Ming Dynasty or the nemesis of the peasant army, were all taken by Hong Chengchou. Liaodong went to deal with Huang Taiji, He Renlong and Zuo Liangyu went to deal with Zhang Xianzhong, the rest of the officers and soldiers were mediocre, who can deal with Li Zicheng?

In desperation, Yang Sichang personally supervised the division and entered Henan with Zhu Dadian's Nanjing soldiers and Hu Dawei's Baoding soldiers. Tens of thousands of officers and soldiers encircled and suppressed them. teacher.

After Lin Yi learned about these details, he felt like a bright mirror in his heart. Instead of letting him encircle and suppress Li Zicheng, it would be better to let him fight Li Zicheng one-on-one. How can Yang Sichang have elite soldiers and strong generals?One Liu Zeqing returned to Shandong, Zhu Dadian and Tiger David were all incompetent people, and the other generals, town generals and guerrillas were even less worth mentioning. Woolen cloth!
But no matter what, I have to know this Li Zicheng. Although he only has a few thousand troops now, he has too many famous generals, and he will be like a fish in water when he arrives in Henan. Henan has been a populous province since ancient times. There are hungry people everywhere. Jin Xing, Song Xiance, and son Li Yan fooled him again. Once he shouted the slogan of equalizing the land and exempting grain, his men and horses would increase geometrically like molecular fission. Then it would not be thousands of people, but several There are tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions of troops.

Therefore, Ji Dong knew that this was a terrible opponent, and it was also a severe test for him.

But I absolutely can't save my strength and stand still like Zuo Liangyu and He Renlong.It's not for the sake of Yang Sichang and Emperor Chongzhen that if you give a chicken feather, you can use it as an arrow, but as a general of the Ming Dynasty, with the salary of the Ming Dynasty, you have to serve the country loyally, wipe out bandits and thieves, and serve the country and billions of people of the Ming Dynasty. creatures.

What's more, Lin Yi knew that Li Zicheng would never become a great weapon, no matter how strong he was, he would not be able to pass the exam in Beijing.Eating them and strengthening yourself is the law of survival in troubled times.

Therefore, after Lin Yi received Yang Sichang's order, he acted immediately. He has been raising his troops for several months, and his troops are already strong. There are more than 2 troops and Jiang Xingyuan's fourth battalion is the vanguard. The reason why these 3000 people are the vanguard is because they have infantry. There are cavalry teams, open roads in the mountains, build bridges in the water, and fight against small groups of enemies. As for the first and second battalions, the firearms battalion and the third battalion, the standard battalion, are used to fight tough battles. Let Wang Jian lead the sixth battalion Responsible for the food, grass and supplies of the whole army, Lin Yi and Zu Keyong led the Chinese army, and the Eighth Battalion left the Baishui River to the east and entered the river to encircle and suppress Li Zicheng...
