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

Chapter 245 Black until he surrenders

Zu Keyong, Zhang Hua, Xiaoying, Zhezhe, Gan Bao, Jiang Xingyuan and others were shocked. Zhu Dadian and Hu Dawei, two commanders-in-chief, with more than 1 troops, could not even hold the battalion. These thousands of men and horses ran away, and thousands of soldiers and horses were lost. What a waste.

Then they all asked Ji Dong what to do?Lin Yi smiled, not in a hurry, "Let Li Zicheng run away, it may be God's will, Li Zicheng's life should not die."

"Then what if Yang Ge's department blames it? What if someone impeaches the general to the court for his ineffectiveness in suppressing thieves?"

"Hehe, don't worry, whether it's Yang Sichang or Emperor Chongzhen, we can't blame us for this matter. This general cut off Li Zicheng's retreat, recovered Nanyang City, and drove Li Zicheng away. He has done nothing wrong. Weakness in suppressing thieves is Zhu Dadian and Tiger David, and has nothing to do with us."

"Master is wise."

Next, Lin Yi sent an order to bring peace to the people, and all the troops moved into the city to strictly enforce military discipline, and those who disobeyed the order would be killed without mercy.

Nanyang City changed the world overnight, and these ordinary people were so sleepy that they didn't know what was going on.The next day I got up and went to the street to see that Li Zicheng was gone, and this place became the world of Daming again.

But it didn't affect them much. When Li Zicheng came, he didn't do any harm to the common people. He just killed some officials and robbed the landlords, wealthy households and officials.

Now Daming's official army came in again, drove Li Zicheng away, and did nothing to them.What they should do, the shops are still open, the business is still going on, everything is as usual and orderly.

It's just that some ordinary people wondered, they didn't know when Li Zicheng left, and they didn't know when Lin Yi's men entered the city.

In the streets and alleys, there are many discussions in private.

A few days later, Yang Sichang, the head of the Cabinet, Li Wenhai, the head of the Ministry of War, and Yue Qijie, the governor of Henan, and other staff, escorted by Yuan Shu, the soldier of Daliang, and thousands of Kaifeng soldiers, also came to Nanyang City from Luoyang. Lin Yi knew that they Of course the supervisor came.

Lin Yi, Zu Keyong and others took Yang Sichang and others into the city, and the commander-in-chief Zhu Dadian and Tiger David also came to meet the Lord Gebu.

Yang Sichang fully affirmed Lin Yi's achievements in the battle of Nanyang, and praised Lin Yi in front of all his staff.

Then Zhu Dadian and Tiger David were severely reprimanded, saying that they were not effective in suppressing the thieves, so the intruders ran into the mountains, demoted to one level, and fined for one year to see the effect, and immediately went to Emperor Chongzhen.

Zhu Dadian and Hu Dawei lowered their heads and were scolded like grandsons. It is not a big problem to be demoted. They are still commander-in-chief and still manage so many people, but there is an adverb in front, mainly This year has been for nothing, it can be regarded as working for the court, and there is no salary for a year.

Then Yang Sichang ordered Lin Yi, David Hu, Zhu Dadian, and Yuan Shu to lead their troops into the mountains to suppress the bandits.

A few men and horses were added together, more than 5 officers and soldiers, and 5 people were dispatched to search the mountain at the southern foot of Funiu Mountain to suppress bandits. The remaining 3000 troops were mainly Kaifeng soldiers stationed in Nanyang City. Yang Sichang and others personally sat in Nanyang as the governor. .

The east, north, and west sides of Nanyang City are surrounded by mountains. Someone found out that Li Zicheng's thousands of troops ran into the Funiu Mountain in the north, but Funiu Mountain belongs to the mountain system at the southern foot of the Qinling Mountains, and the terrain in the mountain is complicated. Thieves, it's just a joke.

These few troops just guarded a few mountain passes to prevent Li Zicheng from coming out. None of them went deep, and they didn't know where Li Zicheng was hiding. Lin Yi's more than 2 troops were stationed in the Nanzhao area.

On this day, Zhang Hualai reported to Lin Yi that the informant he arranged had discovered that Hao Yaoqi had entered the mountain.

When Lin Yi heard this, this guy can really wander around. It's been a long time since the Tiger's Mouth battle, and Lao Hao hasn't found his team yet?

After listening to Zhang Hua's detailed explanation, Lin Yi knew what was going on.Because the several informants who followed Hao Yaoqi were arranged by Zhang Hua, they were all members of Lin Yi's Guard Battalion, and they had been watching Hao Yaoqi's movements for the past few days.

For this Hao Yaoqi, Lin Yi was well-intentioned.He couldn't bear to kill him, and he didn't want to surrender, so he let him go several times.Now he is not tolerated by Li Zicheng's men, so Lin Yi had no choice but to send someone to watch him secretly.

After dozens of days, Hao Yaoqi came out again.

When Lin Yi heard it, Hao Yaoqi must have come looking for Li Zicheng, thieves looking for thieves must be easy to find, the opportunity to surrender Hao Yaoqi has come again, if he doesn’t surrender, I will keep hacking him until he has nowhere to go, come obediently down.

Thinking of this, Lin Yi once again told Zhang Hua to send more manpower to keep an eye on Hao Yaoqi, don't startle the snake, and report something immediately.

"No." Zhang Hua promised to arrange to go.

After Hao Yaoqi was ordered, he was not tolerated by Li Guo, and he wanted to find King Chuang to prove his innocence, but he didn't have a horse, so his walking was much slower. Just got lost.

Fortunately, it is not winter now, at the turn of summer and autumn, he can find something to eat to fill his stomach, lie down on the rocky ground to sleep when he is sleepy, and drink mountain spring when he is thirsty.Relying on his strong physique, he sometimes catches a rabbit to eat, and it doesn't matter if he doesn't live, and he can't starve to death if he eats raw.

In this way, he wandered around the mountains near Tiger's Mouth for more than ten days before he came out.

After finding the official road to Nanyang, we first came to Neixiang.He knew that Nanyang Prefecture, including Nansan County, was Li Zicheng's territory, but when he arrived, he was dumbfounded. They were all officers and soldiers, so he dared not enter the city.

After asking someone in private, I found out that Li Zicheng's men were chased away by Lin Yi's men.Hao Yaoqi gritted his teeth secretly, Lin is really ruthless, even winning battles.

A few days later, he went to Nanyang again, and when he arrived in Nanyang, he saw that the flag of the Ming army was flying above the city. When he inquired about Li Zicheng, Lin Yi drove him away again.

Hao Yaoqi couldn't help scolding his mother. Could it be that even King Chuang couldn't beat Lin Yi?

After so many days, Hao Yaoqi's legs are almost running thin, he dare not walk on the road, drill into the mountains and forests, he can't wash his face all day long, he is hungry and full, making people neither human nor ghost, and there is no People can recognize him, and now he is exactly the same as the ordinary people who fled.

Where can I find King Chuang now?You have to fill your stomach first.Hao Yaoqi went into a farmhouse and stole an old hen. The hen just came out of the nest after laying eggs and was caught by him.As soon as the rooster crowed, an old man came out of the house, and Hao Yaoqi strangled him when he came up.

It's not bad, the general direction of Li Zicheng's army was obtained from the old man's mouth, Hao Yaoqi didn't kill the old man, and ran away with the old hen.

When he got to a place where no one was around, he plucked the chicken feathers, twisted the chicken legs and head, and then gnawed off the old hen.

He gnawed until his mouth was full of blood, and spit out the chicken bones all over the floor. After eating a raw hen, Hao Yaoqi felt much more comfortable after feeling that there was something in his stomach.Carrying his big flagpole, he entered the southern foot of Funiu Mountain.

Along the way, he found a lot of officers and soldiers, and he didn't go to provoke the officers and soldiers. He avoided the officers and soldiers by drilling into the mountains.

Two days later, they finally found Li Zicheng's Dazhai, which was built on a mushroom-shaped mountain peak.Li Zicheng really knows how to find a place, this is really a dangerous place where one man is in charge of the other.

After Nanyang City broke through, the troops of Li Zicheng and Liu Zongmin met at the southern foot of Funiu Mountain. After this battle, thousands of troops were lost. Now they have only more than 3000 people in one place.

Because there were few people left, Li Zicheng found such a place deep in the mountain to set up camp in order to prevent the officers and soldiers from searching the mountain.

Li Zicheng's soldiers guarding the village didn't recognize Hao Yaoqi at first, until Hao Yaoqi started scolding and was about to wave a big flagpole to hit them, then he recognized him.

But no one dared to let him into the cottage, so he rushed to deliver a letter, and Hao Yaoqi was waiting below.

Li Guo heard, what, Hao Yaoqi dare to come?The traitor killed him!Now when Li Guo mentions Hao Yaoqi, he will not get angry.In the battle of Tiger's mouth, 1 horses were almost wiped out.Isn't it all because of Hao Yaoqi?
"Wait, let him into the village!" Of course Li Zicheng would not be so reckless, he had long wanted to see this Hao Yaoqi, and he never believed in his heart that Hao Yaoqi would betray him and surrender to Lin Yi.

After more than half an hour, someone led Hao Yaoqi to Li Zicheng. When Li Zicheng saw Hao Yaoqi, he hadn't seen Hao Yaoqi for more than two months, so he almost didn't recognize him.

The former Hao Yaoqi was his general, majestic and burly.But now the unshaven one looks like a beggar, and the military uniform on his body is badly hung because he went into the mountains and forests, but he took it off and threw it away early to avoid the officers and soldiers.His whole body was tattered, dirty, his face was dusty, and he didn't know how many days he hadn't washed, so his hair was unkempt.

When Hao Yaoqi saw Li Zicheng, maybe he was wronged, maybe he was excited, and he knelt down with a common sound.
