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

Chapter 339 Li Yan Returns
For Zhang Xianzhong, a gangster like Zhang Xianzhong, Lin Yi had already planned in his mind. For him, who had hundreds of years of foresight than the current figures, until according to the original historical development, Zhang Xianzhong would definitely become emperor after entering Sichuan, and Li Zicheng would become emperor. In his expectation.

However, due to his crossing partly changed the development trend of history, both Dashun and Daxi were established, and now Dashun was destroyed by him, and Daxi has now become a climate again.

Moreover, Zuo Liangyu and the four great warlords of Nanming in history, Huang Degong, Gao Jie, Liu Liangzuo, and Liu Zeqing, who are both good and evil, are now serving Daming, and they have shown that they are loyal and die. For the performance of a few of them, I think it can be tolerated.

Lin Yichuan has been here for several years, and his ideas have also changed.Before the time travel, he was just a person who read history, and now he is a person who does it by himself. Of course, it is different in this troubled world.

Whether he was a good guy or a bad guy in history, it doesn't matter, because history is written by the victor after all, and it has been revised several times. It is inevitable that there will be suspicion of bias, or it is just an evaluation of later generations.

What's more, good and bad are relative, depending on the foothold and starting point of the evaluation, from the perspective of historical development, it is completely different from the perspective of the current ruler.

Ji Dong believes that as long as these people can be used for me now, they have their value.Of course, traitors and traitors are excluded. This is Ji Dong's bottom line.

Therefore, during the course of the war, Ji Dong treated the captives differently. He was very tolerant and preferential to the captives of the thieves.It's not just because they're a peasant army.As for the captives of the Manchu Tartars, including the traitor army, no one was left behind, and they were resolutely and thoroughly beheaded.

This is his consistent policy of leading troops to fight.

But he didn't have a good impression of Zuo Liangyu, Gao Jie, Liu Liangzuo, and Liu Zeqing at all. Except for Huang Degong, the warlords of the four Jiangbei towns in Nanming, the other three Lin Yi didn't like them. Liu Zeqing and Lin Yi had already taught them a lesson. He, the other warlords Zuo Liangyu, Liu Liangzuo, Gao Jie, Lin Yi had no contact with them.

The reason why he has prejudice against them is mainly because he has studied the history of Nanming.

Historically, Gao Jie was killed by the traitors under his subordinates. Zuo Liangyu, Liu Zeqing and Liu Liangzuo betrayed the Ming Dynasty and led their subordinates to surrender to the Qing Dynasty. Anti-gold power.

But now it seems that these guys are still more supportive of their supervisor, Daming. Maybe they have misremembered the history, or maybe their scum essence has not yet been revealed, so they are not in a hurry to deal with them.

But now they are not Zhang Xianzhong's opponents. No matter how unbearable these pieces of material are in history, he is now representing the Ming Dynasty and the official representative under Lin Yitai's rule. Sympathize with them.

How to deal with Daxi Wang Zhang Xianzhong, this issue is now on the agenda again.

Zhang Xianzhong occupies a favorable position, and his subordinates are like clouds, strong and powerful, and his subordinates are not only brave, but also strategizing and strategizing. Can't find it.

I don't know how long I will have to wait until I have settled the affairs of the Qing Dynasty, and then go back to conquer Daxi myself. Some things are unpredictable. If time drags on for a long time, Zhang Xianzhong will only do it bigger and stronger , there may be some trouble.

It seems that this matter cannot wait, and the common people also look forward to an early end to the suffering of the war.

The current Daxi Group can be said to be strong. For Daming, Daxi can be regarded as a strong opponent.

Others don't say single, just Li Dingguo is a difficult target.Dissertation on martial arts, the current Ming Dynasty, who can be Li Dingguo's opponent with these few pieces of material?
The Ming and Dashun in history were all destroyed by the Qing Dynasty.In other words, after all, the Ming Dynasty did not completely wipe out these two groups of thieves, on the contrary, the more they suppressed the more they became more powerful.

The law of war says that attacking the city is the bottom, and attacking the heart is the top.It seems that dealing with Zhang Xianzhong must be outsmarted, so Lin Yi used his brains on this.

He thought of Song Xiance, this man's resourcefulness is nothing to mention.However, he is not brave enough and can only be used as a think tank, not as a general. To put it bluntly, he is not at the same level as Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi.

And now Song Xiance is still sitting in the Ningyuan area, and there are still 1 Qing troops in Ningyuan City, fighting stubbornly in the city.

Then there is another person who is also a think tank of the Li Zicheng Group. This person is versatile in both civil and military affairs, and this is Li Yan.

But at this time he is still locked in the prison of the capital, not only him, but also Gao Yigong, Li Guo, Li Laiheng, Liu Fangliang, Yuan Zongdi, Tian Jianxiu, etc., these are all high-level figures of the Li Zicheng Group.

After they were captured, they wanted to die quickly and refused to surrender.I cherish that they are all talents, and I am not willing to kill them. I have always supported them, and now is the time to use them.

It would be a good idea to bring these people over and let them deal with Zhang Xianzhong.

Thinking of this, Lin Yi quickly thought of someone, and that was Li Zicheng's wife, Gao Guiying. Now, his hope of dealing with Zhang Xianzhong could only be pinned on this woman.

Thinking of this, Lin Yi immediately ordered Xiaoying and Zhezhe to find Gao Guiying.

After Gao Guiying came in, she bowed and saluted Lin Yi: "My lord, call Guiying here and don't know where to use it?"

Ji Dong looked at this heroine, her flowery face and fair skin were best described as natural beauty, almost like a young girl who hadn't left the court.

This Li Zicheng really knows how to pick a wife, he is handsome enough!

It's a pity that Li Zicheng has no luck with women. He found a few wives, all of whom are like flowers and jade, but the four formal wives are all second-hand, which is not a big deal.The key is that two of them gave him a cuckold, and the other picked up the rags of Emperor Chongzhen.

The woman who is most suitable for him is Gao Guiying, but unfortunately they are not all first married.Probably true to that sentence, there are good men, but there are no good wives, and Lai Han married a Huatiti.

No matter what Lin Yi was thinking, his eyes lingered on Gao Guiying's face for a while before he knew it.

Seeing Lin Yi looking at her like this, Gao Guiying blushed slightly.

Lin Yi stared at Gao Guiying like this, of course Xiaoying and Zhezhe saw it. They didn't know that a woman's natural jealousy gave birth to jealousy, and they didn't know that jealousy caused jealousy.

But Zhezhe is a lady after all. She was born in the palace. She is a well-educated and self-restraining person. Some ripples appeared slightly.

But Xiaoying is different. Her father is a low-level military officer. In terms of paternal love, his father is not competent at all. Xiaoying lost her mother since she was a child. In the camp, relying on his father being a member of a hundred households in the military camp, the soldiers in the military camp did not dare to provoke her, saying that she was the same, and she developed a strong character of often bullying others since she was a child, until she met Ji Dong.

Over the years, she followed Ji Dong, and as she grew older and was brought up by Ji Yi, her bad habits changed a lot, but she was outspoken and dared to speak and act. This is her nature and her strengths, until now , Becoming a big girl in the army has not changed.

Looking at it now, the man I love just stares at other women, and her little mouth pouted.

But she didn't dare to act like a baby in front of so many people, because she knew Ji Dong's temper, so she could only use the wisdom in her little head.

"Brother Lin, if you have anything to do, you should tell me quickly. Sister Guiying is very busy. There are many things in the women's camp. The women's sisters are busy asking Sister Guiying to guide them to practice marksmanship."

When Xiaoying said this, Lin Yi knew that he had to look twice, and hurriedly said to Gao Guiying: "General Gao, you don't need to be too polite, but have you ever heard that Zhang Xianzhong proclaimed himself emperor in Sichuan and established the Daxi Kingdom?"

"My subordinates have heard about it." Gao Guiying didn't understand, Lin Yi asked what he meant, but just answered, not daring to talk nonsense.

Lin Yi said: "Bringing thieves to murder and steal goods, harming the country and the people, fighting against the imperial court, the crimes have been heinous and heinous. The country is now busy conquering the Qing Dynasty and regaining the lost land. I have no time to take care of it. I want General Gao to go out in person. I don't know what the general wants?"

Ji Dong's words were polite, not an order, but a discussion tone.

Gao Guiying looked flattered, but when it came to Zhang Xianzhong, she was very sensitive, because Gao Guiying was not only familiar with Zhang Xianzhong, they also fought against each other and fought side by side.

Zhang Xianzhong and her husband Li Zicheng are connected by fate.

Both of them have the same name, and both of them are from Shaanxi. Not only are they from the same hometown, but they are also the same age. In addition, their experiences are basically the same. They both worked as generals under Gao Yingxiang's command. There were also confrontations. When Zhang Xianzhong was unsuccessful, he defected to Li Zicheng.When Li Zicheng was at the end of his life, he also defected to Zhang Xianzhong.Both of them established regimes and both became emperors.

Now Li Zicheng has passed away along with his Dashun regime, and there is only one Daxi king Zhang Xianzhong left. Therefore, when Zhang Xianzhong is mentioned, Gao Guiying can't help but think of her husband Li Zicheng. Restrained.

Master Lin, what do you mean?Are you testing yourself?

Don't do bad things and don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door. Now I am loyal to Lord Lin and the Ming Dynasty. Thinking of this, Gao Guiying said with emotion: "As long as the lord has his life, Guiying will not hesitate to be smashed to pieces."

"Well said." Lin Yi nodded with a smile, "I will designate you as the Marshal of the Second Army of the Rebellion Army, the Governor of Shanxi, Shaanxi, Henan, Shandong, and Huguang to encircle and suppress the rebels." Zhang Xianzhong."

After Lin Yi said this, everyone was shocked, especially Gao Guiying's face was full of astonishment, and his mind couldn't turn around. What does Master Lin mean by this?Let yourself take command and conquer Zhang Xianzhong?There is no mistake, the Ming Dynasty had strong soldiers and horses, and there were some generals who were able to conquer wars, and some were better than myself in thesis and martial arts. Besides, I was a female generation, and the governor of the five places had soldiers and horses. How could this be possible?

Not only Gao Guiying was stunned, but Xiaoying, Zhezhe and others present also didn't understand. Brother Lin (my lord), did this happen on a whim?Daming never had a female governor to conquer Zhang Xianzhong, and wanted to send the Second Route Army Marshal, the Governor-General of the Five Lands, but it seemed that she, Gao Guiying, would not be able to beat her after a few blows.

It's true that Gao Guiying is a woman who does not give way to men, she is talented enough to be a general, but she is a first-class woman after all, and the current all-powerful generals in the Ming Dynasty are talented, why did Lord Lin appoint her?Lu Jiude, Huang Degong, Zuo Liangyu, colluding with Liu Liangzuo, Liu Zeqing, etc. are not Zhang Xianzhong's opponents. A deputy general of the women's battalion, can Gao Guiying succeed?
But even though they thought so, no one dared to speak.

At this time Gao Guiying said, "Your Excellency, you must not do it. Guiying is not talented and learned, and I am afraid that he will not be able to do it."

"General Gao don't want to refuse, this time it must be you."

"But this subordinate..."

What else did Gao Guiying want to say, Lin Yi interrupted her, and said in an unquestionable tone: "This prison country has its own measure, the general does not need to be overly modest, this prison country has already planned, and General Guan Bao will win the battle this time. , the big defeat of Zhang Xianzhong is just around the corner."

Gao Guiying's heart was relieved at this moment, it turned out that Master Lin had already planned, otherwise she would not dare to take this job, but in this case, who can be the governor of the military and horses, why did the Lord say that it must be him?
Gao Guiying still couldn't figure it out.

At this time, Lin Yi said again: "Before General Gao goes out, there is one more thing to do right now, that is, Lingdi Gao Yigong, Li Yan and others are still in custody. If they are allowed to abandon the dark and turn to the bright, the general will have another right-hand man. , My Ming has added a pillar of talent, and there is nothing good about it."

Gao Guiying is a very smart woman, she understood when she heard this, it turned out that Master Lin's intention was here, it was for her to persuade these people to surrender.

It is true that I am none other than myself in this matter. Gao Yigong is her younger brother, Li Yan used to be Li Zicheng's military adviser, Li Guo and Li Laiheng are her nephew and grandson, and the rest are Liu Fangliang, Yuan Zongdi, Tian Jianxiu, etc. , are also her former subordinates.The person who needs to tie the bell to untie the bell, she has already thought about doing this for a long time.

Therefore, Gao Guiying readily agreed this time, "Please rest assured, my lord, Gao Guiying will definitely persuade Li Yan and Li Guo to be loyal to my lord and Daming with a good tongue."

Lin Yi nodded, and immediately ordered Zhang Hua to take his handbook and go to the capital to escort Li Yan, Li Guo, Li Laiheng, Yuan Zongdi, Liu Fangliang, Tian Jianxiu, etc. to the Ming camp outside Jinzhou City as soon as possible .

The journey along the way is more than 1000 miles, so a round trip is more than 2000 miles. In order to ensure safety, Lin Yi drew 500 soldiers from his guard camp and asked Zhang Hua to take them with him, and flew to the capital to meet the admiral of the capital. Ke Yong.

Zhang Hua was obedient and gladly took orders. The 500 horse team galloped from Jinzhou to Shanhaiguan, and then galloped from Shanhaiguan to the capital of Daming.

When Zu Keyong saw Zhang Hua and his party, who were busy in the world, he knew something urgent.

After Zhang Hua saluted Zu Keyong, he took out Lin Yi's handwriting while talking.

Zu Keyong saw that he was respectful as if receiving an imperial edict, and immediately lifted Li Yan and several others out of the prison.

These days, Zu Keyong took care of Li Yan and others in every possible way. Even though they were detained in prison, Zu Keyong didn't dare to make things difficult for them at all. There were special staff serving three meals a day.

People like Li Yan didn't suffer any crimes. In the prison, they didn't think about anything. They should eat and drink. Whenever the Ming army chopped off their heads, they had already put life and death aside, so they ate fat during this period of time. up.

Their only hope is that when Li Zicheng wins the battle and can rescue them, they will still be loyal to Li Zicheng, serve the Dashun Kingdom, and fight against the Ming Dynasty.

But that seems like a luxury.

Now that Zu Keyong brought them up, Li Yan and the others thought that Ji Dong was going to send them on the road, so they regarded death as home and didn't care.

Their news in the prison is relatively closed. Of course, they don’t know that Li Zicheng has passed away, Gao Guiying has surrendered to Lin Yi, and Lin Yi led 10 Ming troops to the outside of Shanhaiguan. The Tartars have been compressed to the Ningjin line of defense. Dole Dagon was injured and defeated and returned to the capital of the Qing Dynasty, and Jinzhou City trapped Hong Chengchou.In other words, they knew nothing about the Battle of Shanhaiguan and the Battle of Huanggutun.

After the handover, Zu Keyong was still worried, because the journey was too far away, so he sent another 1000 soldiers from the Beijing camp to cooperate with Zhang Hua's 500 soldiers, a total of 1500 people sent these felons to Jinzhou.

After leaving the capital, Li Yan and other people knew that they were not going to be executed, but what was it to do with them?They didn't ask, and no one paid attention to them. Xiaoxing stayed overnight along the way.

A few days later, they arrived at the Ming army camp outside Jinzhou.

Li Yan and the others were escorted to the women's camp, and after they were released from the prison van, they were taken to the camp. Li Yan and the others were still a little puzzled as to what the Ming army meant by bringing them here.Is it to let these women humiliate them?
While Li Yan and the others were thinking wildly, they saw a person sitting in the middle of the camp. This female general was so beautiful, covered in armor, but she couldn't stop her beauty.

Duck egg round face, willow leaf curved eyebrows, like distant mountains.A pair of water-like eyes under the eyebrows, a tall nose, and bright red lips.

After Li Yan and the others saw the face of this female general, they were all dumbfounded, as if they had been electrocuted.

Their eyes stared, as if seeing the most unlikely thing.

For tens of seconds, several people began to look at each other in disbelief, but they couldn't say a word.

Gao Guiying looked at a few of them, and her heart was surging, especially her brother Gao Yigong, nephew Li Guo, grandson Li Laiheng, Liu Fangliang, Yuan Zongdi, and Tian Jianxiu were also her loyal subordinates.

But now it is two generations, Gao Guiying did not dare to use too much personal emotion, many words were choked on her lips and swallowed again, trying to restrain her thoughts, calm down her mood, and said to the soldiers: " Come on, untie the ropes of a few of them, and watch the seats."

Someone moved some chairs, but none of Li Yan, Li Guo, Li Laiheng, Liu Fangliang, Yuan Zongdi, Tian Jianxiu and others sat down.

Just now they thought it was because they saw it wrong, but now they confirmed that everything in front of them was true, so they quickly saluted Gao Guiying.

With tears in her eyes, Gao Guiying recounted the battle of Shanhaiguan and Huanggutun, and the current battle of Ningjin.

It focuses on Li Zicheng's death, the demise of the Dashun regime, Lin Yi's preferential treatment to them, and his killing of Tartars to avenge Li Zicheng's people after he surrendered to Ming Dynasty.

Gao Guiying's words were undoubtedly a blockbuster, which made these people dizzy.

What?Their Majesty Li Zicheng has passed away?Is this the end of Dashun?They couldn't believe that such a big change had taken place during the days when they were imprisoned, and they were all stunned.

But these words come from Gao Guiying's mouth, they are absolutely true.After they accepted these facts, they were silent for a long time, and in the end, they all expressed their willingness to join Daming with his wife, kill the Tartars, and avenge the past King Chuang and other soldiers.

Gao Guiying nodded, wiped the wet corners of her eyes, and ordered someone to invite Lin Yi.

After Lin Yi got the report, he was overjoyed. Mrs. Gao really lived up to her expectations. It's really a blessing for me, it's done, now I have no worries about dealing with Zhang Xianzhong!
Lin Yi brought Xiaoying and Zhe Zhe excitedly to the women's camp. Li Yan, Li Guo, Li Laiheng, Yuan Zongdi, Liu Fangliang, Tian Jianxiu all knelt down in front of Lin Yi...
