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

Chapter 262 Sun Chuanting Comes Back

Lin Yi first sent Wang Jian to lead people over to count the money. 640000 taels of silver is not a small amount. In order to avoid the other party's fraud, the goods must be counted and inspected.

After Wang Jian took people there to count, there was a lot of money in one or two taels.Here Zhang Xianzhong sent generals Bai Wenxuan and Ma Jinzhong to bring people over to pick them up.

Zhang Xianzhong promised to release the money here, and Lin Yi agreed to release the people there.The silver car and Li Dingguo's prison car passed by the two armies.The soldiers on both sides were all ready to deal with the sudden change. The bows were stringed, the knives were unsheathed, and the guns were all aimed at each other.

Fortunately, everything went well with Yinzi's replacement.

Li Dingguo's prison car arrived at Zhang Xianzhong's camp safely. The car with 64 taels of silver also rushed to Lin Yi's side.The goals of both parties have been achieved, and they both withdraw their troops happily, and no one has any troubles that day.

Zhang Xianzhong, Sun Kewang, Ai Nengqi, etc. all surrounded him. The wooden cage of the prison cart was split open, and the iron chain frame on Li Dingguo's body was removed. Li Dingguo was saved and knelt down in front of Zhang Xianzhong.

"Father, the child has disgraced you. He lost Xiangyang City and lost money. He deserves death. Please punish the child for his crime."

Zhang Xianzhong pulled him up, can he be punished again?This was obtained in exchange for 640000 taels of silver, and if he was killed and punished, wouldn't that be a chicken-and-egg fight?Therefore, Zhang Xianzhong didn't even say a word of reproach, but comforted him: "Yu'er, victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs. It's fine to come back. It's nothing to lose the city and money, and it's nothing to be injured or killed. As long as we can come back safely, our father and son Still seeing each other is better than anything.”

Li Dingguo threw himself into Zhang Xianzhong's arms, the father and son wept in each other's arms, Sun Kewang and Ai Nengqi also came to comfort the brother and brother.

Li Dingguo said: "My father, please give me a team. I must kill Lin Yi and avenge Xiangyang's defeat, and exchange Xue for money today."

"Yu'er, this matter should be discussed in the long term. The surname Lin is about to be unlucky, and the day to clean him up is not far away. Go down to take a bath and change clothes, and serve wine for father and Yu'er to cleanse the dust."

"Thank you, Father."...

Back in the barracks, 64 taels of silver were all put into Wang Jian's account.Of course, this account must be registered separately from the official bank allocated to him by the court, because it is Lin Yi's private property, and it can be combined with the 5 taels of silver given to him by Li Zicheng and the 100 million taels of silver given to him by King Fu of Luoyang. Coupled with Zhe Zhe's escort, Lin Yi now has two or three million taels of silver in his private hands.With this money, it is the capital for him to recruit soldiers and horses to expand his strength.

Of course, the money can be saved without spending it, in case of a rainy day.Of course, the food and salaries of the [-] troops under his command must be provided by the imperial court, and it is still given priority now.

Although the imperial court is currently in a serious financial deficit, it still gives priority to Lin Yi's army. In this regard, the cabinet minister Yang Sichang is in charge.

Zu Ke said bravely: "My lord, we have also got the silver, and Li Dingguo has also released it. How will we capture Jingzhou City next?"

Lin Yi thought about it: "Jingzhou City is high and deep, with strict defenses. There are many thieves in Zhang Xianzhong's city, with a force of nearly [-] troops. Attacking by force is not the best strategy. How many days will it take for our artillery battalion to arrive?"

"It will take at least three more days, so let's wait another three days. Anyway, we are not in a hurry. As long as Zhang Xianzhong doesn't run away, we will guard him here. We will talk about the bombardment of Jingzhou when the artillery battalion arrives."

"Good advice, my lord. It's just that now I heard that Li Zicheng and the others are making trouble again. When they returned to Ma Shouying, they went to Nanyang and joined forces with Li Zicheng. They made a lot of trouble in Henan. I heard that the number of troops has grown to 10,000+ , occupying most of Nanyang in just a few days."

"A troubled autumn, a troubled autumn."

Ji Dong smiled and didn't say anything to Zu Keyong.As expected, Li Ziguo got up again, which Lin Yi had expected.

It seems that the rolling wheels of history cannot be easily changed by anyone.Even if he crossed over by himself, he would not be omnipotent like those written in the online novels before time travel, changing the fate of the Ming Dynasty against the sky, how could it be so easy?
To say that my supernatural powers are not too small, these years of hard work can be said to be enough, but they can only partially change the direction of history, and cannot affect the overall situation of history.

This time Li Zicheng not only got the support of Lao Huihui, but his counselors Niu Jinxing, Song Xiance, and Li Yan were probably all joining in one after another.

Luoyang City.The temporary residence of Yang Sichang, Shangshu of the Ministry of War.Li Wenhai, head of the Ministry of War, said salutingly: "My lord, it is reported that Lin Yi, the commander in chief of Miyun, captured Zhang Xianzhong's godson Li Dingguo, and instead of taking him to the capital, he exchanged 640000 taels of silver with Zhang Xianzhong to release these traitors. "

When Yang Sichang heard this, he coughed violently. Li Wenhai hurried over to him and beat his back. In the end, a cloud of thick blood appeared on the handkerchief Yang Sichang was covering his mouth with.

"Call the doctor!"

"It's useless." Yang Sichang waved his hand weakly. The surname Lin became more and more courageous. The last time he and Li Zicheng exchanged Li Guo and Li Laiheng for 50000 taels of silver and poured it into his personal pocket, now he is doing it again. Li Dingguo was exchanged for 64 taels, so bold, this is a blatant gangster!

Yang Sichang's life-decreasing face showed a hint of murderous intent, but he quickly persuaded himself.It is not easy to make a big move at this time, you have to wait until the emperor summons Lin Yi into the capital to reward him, and then get rid of this man, he is the only one who can win the battle in front of him, so he has to be appeased.

Thinking of this, Yang Sichang ordered people to get up with pens, ink, paper and inkstones, and sent out all the idlers under his command. He wanted to write a secret memorial, but his hands were too trembling to write, so he had to ask Li Wenhai to write for him.

Yang Sichang dictated, Li Wenhai brushed it up, and soon, a secret memorial was written.

After finishing writing, Yang Sichang warned: "Remember this memorial, only you know and I know, and submit it to the emperor after entering Beijing. Don't leak any news."

Of course Li Wenhai knew Yang Sichang's scruples. Lin Yi is not what he used to be now, with a heavy army in his hands. If it gets out, it will cause big trouble, so he nodded.

Yang Sichang and Liu Wenhai left Luoyang with this secret memorial and went to the capital to meet the emperor.But at this time Yang Sichang was already seriously ill, he could no longer ride a horse, and could only sit in a sedan chair.A few days later, they arrived in Baoding. The bad news came that Li Zicheng's men captured Luoyang, Fu Zonglong died in battle, and after Fu Wang Zhu Changxun was punished, his meat and venison were boiled and eaten together by Li Zicheng's men. feast.

When Yang Sichang heard the news, he coughed violently for a while, spat out the last mouthful of thick blood and passed out in the sedan chair.

Li Wenhai was so panicked that he called the medical officer again. The medical officer shook his head after making a diagnosis. Two days later, Yang Sichang died in Baoding, and he died without seeing the emperor.

Li Wenhai went to Beijing with this secret memorial to meet the emperor.

After Emperor Chongzhen was furious, he immediately made a decision to transfer Zheng Chongjian and Ding Qirui to the capital.They also knew the news of Yang Sichang's death and taking office.The Ministry of War can't live without a minister, and also thinks that Emperor Chongzhen will confer their official positions.As a result, Emperor Chongzhen arrested Zheng Chongjian, saying that he did not do enough to suppress the bandits and withdrew his troops too early. The thief Zhang Xianzhong came out of Sichuan again, and he had his head chopped off shortly after he was imprisoned.

Then Ding Qirui was promoted from the three-sided governor of Shaanxi to the Minister of the Ministry of War.Emperor Chongzhen discussed with the newly appointed Minister of the Ministry of War. He now wants to get rid of two people, one is He Renlong, and the other is Lin Yi.These two people are armed with heavy soldiers, one does not listen to the court, and the other secretly cooperates with the bandits.

Ding Qirui thought for a while and told Emperor Chongzhen that the two of them are thousands of miles away now, and there is only one person who can deal with them, and that is Sun Chuanting.

Only then did Emperor Chongzhen realize that there is still a master hidden in the prison, and it is time to release this person!

It is not an exaggeration to call him a master. One of the three armies in the late Ming Dynasty was the Qin army.The so-called Qin army is the frontier army in the mountains.The founder and commander of the Qin Army is Sun Chuanting.

Sun Chuanting has achieved a lot in these years, killing Gao Yingxiang, defeating Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong repeatedly, such a master, Emperor Chongzhen actually hid him in prison, the Ming Dynasty was troubled by internal and external troubles, the situation was so serious, Emperor Chongzhen actually hid such a master For three years, Emperor Chongzhen took this move, which was tantamount to abolishing his martial arts.

Now Sun Chuanting is brought out again, the shackles are removed for him, he is put on an official robe and hat, and he is granted the title of governor of Shaanxi on three fronts, and he secretly accepts two orders, that is, to find an opportunity to get rid of Lin Yi and He Renlong.

Sun Chuanting knelt down to thank him, took his order and went to Shaanxi to take up his post, and revisited the old place. Unfortunately, his invincible Qin army was running out, and the old troops gathered were only 4000 people.He had no choice but to take this little force south to the Huguang battlefield...

Zhang Xianzhong in Jingzhou City did not hear any news from the imperial court for many days, but only learned that Yang Sichang was dead. They wanted Yang Sichang and the imperial court to order Lin Yi to be arrested and punished.

64 taels of silver were given to Lin Yi, and the 8 people in the city supported them these days. Food and salaries began to run out, and Zhang Xianzhong couldn't wait any longer. Just then they learned that Lin Yi's artillery battalion had arrived, and they had to take action again.

Xu Yixian, his adviser, said: "Your Majesty, Lin's surname is no more than 4 horses, and now he is fighting alone. Apart from his men, there are no more officers and troops outside the city, and we have 8 horses in our city. Let him When the artillery battalion arrived, we withdrew from Jingzhou and went up the river, pretending to abandon the city and flee. The surname Lin got the silver, and when he saw us running away again, he must have happily dragged the silver into the city , we suddenly kill the carbine, attack the city by surprise, let him eat the money and spit out double the money, this is the plan of the empty city."

Zhang Xianzhong nodded in agreement, and immediately dispatched troops...
