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

Chapter 340

Li Yan, Li Guo, Li Laiheng, Gao Yigong, Liu Fangliang, Yuan Zongdi, Tian Jianxiu and others all surrendered to Daming and were willing to swear allegiance to Lin Yi to the death.

There are two main reasons why Li Yan and others changed so quickly, one is that Li Zicheng and his Dashun Kingdom were destroyed, and the other is also important, of course it is the credit of Gao Guiying.

Madam Gao's influence and status in Li Zicheng's group is self-evident. Apart from respecting Li Zicheng, these people all respect Madam Gao.

Now that Li Zicheng is gone, of course they have to listen to Mrs. Gao. Mrs. Gao has surrendered to Daming now, so they have no choice but to follow.

In addition, when they surrendered to Ming Dynasty, they also intended to avenge Li Zicheng.Because Li Zicheng did not die at the hands of Daming, nor was he killed by Lin Yi after defeating the army.

Instead, they fell into the trap of the big traitor Wu Sangui and the tartar Dorgon. In the final analysis, Li Zicheng, Liu Zongmin, Niu Jinxing and others all died at the hands of Wu Sangui and Dorgon.

In any case, this kind of group surrender is undoubtedly a great joy for Ji Dong.

With the addition of Gao Guiying, this is tantamount to taking over Li Zicheng's team.

Li Zicheng, Liu Zongmin, and Niu Jinxing died in battle, and after removing these seven senior officials, the rest are mediocre people, one more or one less is of no importance.

And more importantly, in the troubled times at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the enemies who were different from each other suddenly became "revolutionary comrades" who shared the same hatred, or the nemesis of Ming Dynasty became the patron saint of Ming Dynasty. This is not simply due to the number of people Increase or decrease, but the soaring strength of Ming Dynasty.

Especially in troubled times, thousands of troops are easy to get, but one general is hard to find.For a hero in troubled times, getting a general at a difficult time is like adding wings to a tiger, and his combat power soars.

What's more, this is not one general, but seven generals, each of these seven can be used to fighting, and any one of them can be pulled out to be able to stand alone.

In particular, Li Yan, son of Henan, was born in a family of generals and a scholarly family. He is an all-rounder in civil and military affairs and has been able to practice with Li Zicheng these years. He is a rare general.

Now that Ji Yi's great achievements are about to be completed, getting the assistance of the seven of them is the icing on the cake, and it's a timely help.

It goes without saying that they are icing on the cake, because Lin Yi's subordinates are now like a cloud of fierce generals, with millions of soldiers, and there is no lack of generals who are accustomed to fighting, such as Zu Keyong, Hao Yaoqi, He Renlong, Liu Zhaoji, Gan Bao, Jiang Xingyuan, Huang Degong , Zuo Liangyu, Gao Jie, Liu Liangzuo, Liu Zeqing, Yuan Shu, Ma Shiying and his son, etc., plus Mongolian generals, there are really countless.

It is said that they came to send charcoal in a timely manner, mainly because of Zhang Xianzhong, the officers and soldiers failed in the encirclement and suppression, and the Daxi Kingdom was announced to be established.
With these few people dealing with Zhang Xianzhong, Lin Yi no longer has to worry about it.

On the spot, Lin Yi promoted Li Yan to be the military advisor of Marshal Ma of the Second Army of the Rebel Army, that is to say, Gao Guiying was appointed as a think tank.

Although their current official positions in the army are not as high as those in the Dashun Army, but a prisoner who was a felon in the court and was sentenced to death for his crime, and his family destroyed nine clans. This can be regarded as a blessing to them.

So all seven people knelt down again to give thanks.

Lin Yi asked them to bathe and change clothes, and then arranged wine and hosted a banquet for them. Lin Yi brought Xiaoying, Zhe Zhe and Gao Guiying to accompany them in person, congratulating them for abandoning the dark and turning to the bright, and finally stripped off the thieves. His wife, Yinzi, will return to his hometown in rich clothes, and his name will be left in history just around the corner.

Then Lin Yi asked Li Yan and Gao Guiying if they had a strategy to defeat Zhang Xianzhong?

Because the enemy was more than 2000 miles away, it was undoubtedly a little early for Ji Dong to ask this question, like two masters who haven't met and fought, how would they know the opponent's move, and how would they break his move?

So Gao Guiying and the others shook their heads, especially Gao Guiying was puzzled, knowing that Lin Yi had already planned for them, why did he ask this at this time?

Li Yan thought about it: "My lord, of course the soldiers come to block, the water comes to the earth, and it changes according to the situation."

Lin Yi nodded, "Lin has a plan, just for everyone to participate, please forgive me, Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng are like a pair of twin brothers, Zhang Xianzhong defected to Li Zicheng, Li Zicheng also defected to Zhang Xianzhong, and there is quite a period During this period, they all belonged to Gao Yingxiang's subordinates. Especially in recent years, they met in Gucheng and agreed to return to the court. It can be seen that Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng respect and worship each other. ?”

After Lin Yi finished speaking, everyone present applauded, including Gao Guiying and Li Yan.

But immediately Gao Yigong raised a question: "My lord's plan is very clever, but my subordinates think it's a little risky. Of course, if you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you catch a tiger's cub? We are not people who are greedy for life and afraid of death. King Chuang and his Dashun no longer exists, and the Shanhaiguan War has been going on for so long. If Zhang Xianzhong hears about us, we will be moths to the flames. It is not a pity for me to wait for my humble life to die. I will be loyal to my lord and Ming If you do your best, you will die well, but in this way, wouldn’t it delay your lord’s plan to destroy the bandits? In that case, I will die in peace.”

Gao Yigong is Gao Guiying's younger brother, that is, Li Zicheng's brother-in-law, he is talented in both civil and military affairs.After the founding of Li Zicheng Dashun, Gao Yigong was awarded the rank of General of the Formation Battalion because of his military exploits. He was on the same level as Li Guo, Liu Fangliang, Yuan Zongdi, Hao Yaoqi, Tian Jianxiu and others.

"Guo Xun is thoughtful," Li Yan took over the words, Guo Xun is Gao Yigong's word, "Master Lin must have thought about this matter, it is definitely not a whim. Only a few days after the Battle of Shanhaiguan passed In the month, we will abandon the darkness and be transparent. This is the immediate matter. It is a year of war and the news is blocked. Here and Shanhaiguan are thousands of miles away from Zhang Xianzhong's puppet capital. What's more, the lord has been sending soldiers to encircle and suppress them, so they may not be sure about these things. I know, even if we know, we may not be able to know the details, and with our bravery and wit, it should not be difficult to gain their trust, and then turn against each other, Master Lin will send elite troops to support the outside, and Zhang Xianzhong will be defeated by internal and external cooperation."

Li Yan's words made Lin Yi nod in praise. He is worthy of being Mr. Li from Henan. He is really smart, smart, and superhuman, which is beyond the reach of Gao Yigong and others.

Through this conversation, Jiong Yi can feel that his speech and behavior are different.

Although the rest of these people are not martial arts, except for Yuan Zong's first pair of iron whips, which are famous for their fierceness, the rest of the six generals, Gao Yigong, Li Guo and his son, Liu Fangliang, Tian Jianxiu, etc., are all brave and capable The generation of conspiracy.

Seeing them today, their strategy cannot be compared with Li Yan's.The former is at most the light of a candle, while the latter is the light of the stars and the moon.

Mr. Li, whom Li Zicheng highly valued, really deserved his reputation. No wonder Li Zicheng became famous after entering Henan. The slogan of equalizing the land and exempting grain was put forward, and all people responded. , broke into Beijing in one breath, and forced Chongzhen Meishan to hang himself.

But Li Zicheng just didn't know how to cherish such a powerful character. He was killed after being hot in front of Li Zicheng for a few days.

On the surface, Li Zicheng was thirsty for talents and met Li Yan late, but once he gained power, that is, after he took down the capital of the Ming Dynasty, his true colors were revealed. ", "Welcome the King of Chuang, not pay the food", all these are nonsense.

Li Zicheng told them with practical actions that the so-called replacement of Daming by Dashun was nothing more than the replacement of the landlord surnamed Zhu by the landlord surnamed Li, that's all!

Even Li Zicheng is not as good as other emperors in ancient times, like Liu Bang, Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang, Emperor Zong of the Tang Dynasty, and Zhu Yuanzhang, the ancestor of the Song Dynasty. Kill the donkey that is pulling the mill!
Li Zicheng's defeat is nothing, and his great success is nothing like a flash in the pan. In the thousands of years of history of the Chinese nation, it will not cause much ripples. A negative teaching material for later political commentators.

But it's a pity that Li Yan was caught prematurely by the unspoken rule of "flying birds do their best to hide their bows, and rabbits die when they are cooked by dogs".

Some people attributed Li Yan's death to Niu Jinxing, saying that Li Zicheng had mistakenly believed Niu Jinxing's slander and killed Li Yan, and that Niu Jinxing was the culprit who killed Li Yanhe.

Woah!No wonder Li Zicheng went to Beijing to rush for the exam and failed. Who would lose if Li Zicheng was undefeated? Who would not be defeated by Dashun?
Some people attribute Li Zicheng's defeat to Wu Sangui and Dorgon. This can only be a blind eye, not seeing Mount Tai.

Wu Sangui's anger at the crown as a confidante seems to be an accidental case, but in fact it is a metaphor for the inevitability of history, that is to say, if there is no such thing as Wu Sangui and Chen Yuanyuan, there must be Zhang Sangui, Wang Sangui or some Sangui and Zhang Wangli Zhao's round, flat and flat things came to attack Li Zicheng's Dashun Dynasty.

If there was no Dorgon in the Battle of Shanhaiguan, other Tartars would roll or climb to dominate the Central Plains. This is the historical inevitability of materialism.

Fortunately, now God has allowed Lin Yi to cross over, changing Li Yan's tragic fate!

Now Li Yan no longer has to worry about being accidentally killed by Li Zicheng who listened to Niu Jinxing's slander!
After the anti-indirect plan was finalized, Lin Yi discussed some details with them again. In order to be sure, Lin Yi ordered people to select more than [-] people from him and his direct troops to pretend to be Li Zicheng's remnants.

These two thousand people are from Lin Yi's standard battalion, some are from the invincible camp, and there is also a new training camp. Some of them are from Li Zicheng's former army. These two thousand people are also elite soldiers in terms of combat power. When the time comes, help them defection.
