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

Chapter 386 Shi Kefa is a Good Comrade
Now Xiaoying also knows that Lin Yi actually sent three small sesame seeds to command an army of thousands of horses and horses to stop the unstoppable Zheng family army sweeping south of the Yangtze River.

Xiaoying came to Lin Yi again with great perplexity and doubts.

Yan Yingyuan, Chen Mingyu, and Feng Houdun were minor officials in Jiangyin County, who said that their officials were only the size of a sesame seed, and they did not wrong them.

They are mainly responsible for arresting and handling cases in the county or township, and arresting people for crimes. In terms of a more detailed division of labor in later generations, they are equivalent to the official policemen, deputy directors, and directors of the police station. Police squad leader.

Such a position might be a very prestigious job in the peaceful age of the 21st century, but hundreds of years ago, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the official establishment was quite different from what it is now. An ordinary civil servant is very popular now. Let alone whether he is an official.

But at that time, a county magistrate was only a seventh-rank sesame official, and there were only a few people in the county under his command. Apart from the county magistrate, there were no county magistrates and bosses. , let alone a canon history, it is equivalent to an ordinary county yamen's squad leader, if he has to be given a rank, at most a deputy-level cadre.

Such officials were not in the mainstream at all in terms of the official establishment of the Ming Dynasty.

Now Lin Yi wants them to be in charge of thousands of horses and thousands of troops, defending Nanjing and the Jiangnan area where dragons and tigers are occupying. Is such a burden too heavy for them?Or did Jiangyin Sangong give him some kind of gift because of his relationship with their big brother Lin?
Otherwise, it would be rocket speed!
After Ji Yi issued this order, not only Xiaoying, but many people had doubts, but no one dared to speak, including Song Xiance, Ji Dong's trusted think tank, only dared to draw arcs in their hearts.

Only Xiaoying is different!

"Brother Lin, who are these three gentlemen, can they take on this important task? If it doesn't work, wouldn't it be a major event?"

In front of the generals, Xiaoying spoke out the aspirations of many people.

"Hehe," Lin Yi smiled softly, looked at Xiaoying's serious face, and Zhe Zhe, He Renlong, Hao Yaoqi, Song Xiance, Gan Bao, Jiang Xingyuan and others were puzzled. Face, and said, "These three people don't look at their official positions, but all of them are generals, and any one of them can be compared with any one of you."

When Lin Yi said these words, everyone's eyes widened even more. It was obvious that they were not convinced. Even though Lin Yi was the supervisor of the country, even the emperor couldn't just talk like this, why?Can a low-level official have such great abilities and political achievements?Do you have qualifications?

This kind of thing cannot be experimented casually, because war has always been a chess game that cannot be regretted. The price is too heavy, and even life and death are at stake. Often, one careless move will lose the whole game.

Can these three nobodies compare with any of us?The civil and military generals who are qualified to stand here, whether they are male or female, which one is not a hero who has made great military achievements?These three minor officials of the history of Jiangyin County, why are they qualified to be compared with them?
Although they didn't dare to say that, they thought so in their hearts, and their expressions were brought out, because they all knew each other, and the expressions on their faces became colorful.

Lin Yi smiled and did not argue with them, but said slowly: "Let's talk about Yan Yingyuan among the three princes of Jiangyin first. It was about the 14th year of Chongzhen, and Yan Yingyuan went to Jiangyin Dianshi. When he took office, the pirate Gu Sanmazi took the lead. Hundreds of warships invaded Huangtian Port. At that time, no one dared to fight. It was this Yan Yingyuan who stepped forward and volunteered to lead the troops to defend. He fired three arrows in a row, but everyone fell in response. The pirates were terrified and dared not commit another crime. Salt robbery, subduing civil unrest, outstanding political discipline, the people of Jiangyin are grateful for his kindness, and commemorate his portrait in social studies. Just based on this, do you think you are enough to be a general?"

When Lin Yi said this, he was speechless in shock, and it was Xiaoying who spoke.

"There is such a thing? How did Brother Lin know such details?"

In the eyes of Xiaoying, Zhezhe and all the generals, Lin Yi has experienced many battles over the years, but most of them are outside the customs or in Jiangbei. He has basically never been to the Jiangnan area. Zhang Hua, Wang Jian, Wang Qi, and other good comrades-in-arms of Jiangyin County have never been to Jiangyin County, and they have never even heard of the name. How did he know such details? When did he look through his files?
Lin Yi smiled and patted Xiaoying's little head, "Ying'er, have you forgotten that your big brother Lin can watch the sky at night. Yesterday I watched the sky at night and found that there were three stars twinkling in Jiangyin. I don't know what it is." He Zhengzhao, it was only after such a thing happened today that I remembered these three great talents."

Lin Yi's explanation made Xiaoying and the others even more dumbfounded. Isn't this too far-fetched?

Lin Yi ignored them, and continued: "These guys have been buried there for so many years, and the day for them to stand out has finally come. God is sometimes fair, learn the arts and martial arts, and sell goods to the emperor's family, yes Gold will always shine, their opportunity is coming, and they will prove their worth soon, let's wait and see!"

All the soldiers, generals and men were a little dubious, and some were even more puzzled.

Song Xiance was the only one who was in admiration. How could Yan Yingyuan's political achievements be made up by adults?I know that adults are not so far-fetched people.

Song Xiance secretly rejoiced in his heart, fortunately he did not raise any doubts, otherwise wouldn't he be too superficial in the eyes of adults?

Therefore, Song Xiance couldn't help but praise: "Your Excellency knows people well, appoints people on their merits, and does not stick to one pattern. If you love him so much, the three princes of Jiangyin must be grateful for the kindness of your lord's extraordinary promotion, and spare no effort to fight against the rebels... I have a supervisor in Ming Dynasty. It is truly a blessing for all peoples!"

This compliment made Lin Yi laugh out loud.

Ji Dong said in his heart, it's not a problem to fool you people, anyway, he has hundreds of years more experience than you.

However, the achievements of Jiangyin Sangong are not so far. The most famous is of course the feat of Sangong’s 81-day resistance against the Qing Dynasty. He led 10 soldiers and civilians in the city and wrote a heroic song with blood and life. Who can compare?
If you don't have your own time travel, according to the original historical development, after Emperor Chongzhen hanged himself, the Ming Dynasty survived in name only. After Dorgon took over Wu Sangui, he knocked on the gate of Shanhaiguan with his iron hoof, and then 10,000+ Qing soldiers and horses stepped into the Central Plains. Li Zicheng's The men and horses were able to deal with the Ming army, but they could not deal with the Eight Banners of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties. Since the Battle of Shanhaiguan, the Dashun army has become an army of tofu. Defeated to Jiugong Mountain in Hubei, until Li Zicheng mysteriously disappeared.

Dorgon's iron hooves of the Qing Dynasty were invincible all the way, and they were like a broken bamboo. Not only did they destroy the Dashun Army, but the remnants of the Ming Dynasty couldn't resist it. They hit the banks of the Yangtze River in just one year.

At this time, Jiangyin Sangong stepped forward and led less than 10 soldiers and civilians in the city to rise up to resist, stick to the city, and fight bloody battles.The Qing army used more than 20 troops, including the elite of the Eight Banners and the surrendered traitor troops of the Ming army, and more than 200 red cannons to storm the small city of Jiangyin.

After attacking for 81 days in a row, at the cost of more than 7 casualties and the loss of three princes, Jiangyin City was finally broken, and then a bloody massacre was carried out. None of the 10 ordinary people in the city, including Jiangyin Sangong, Surrendered, all slaughtered.

The main commanders of the Qing army who participated in the siege were Boluo, Nikan, and Kong Youde. This battle left a rich and colorful page in the history of the Chinese nation's anti-aggression war. national hero.

As a time traveler, Ji Dong certainly knows this period of history.

Now because of my own time travel, this historical trend has been changed. Jiangyin Sangong, including the fathers and folks of Jiangyin City, and 10 people don’t have to die generously. Ten days in Yangzhou, three massacres in Jiading, these tragedies will never happen again. Executioners like Li Chengdong, don't expect to dye their Ding Dai Hualing red with the blood and lives of countless compatriots.

But a hero like Jiangyin Sangong must not be buried. It is necessary to be promoted exceptionally and entrusted with important tasks.

History has proved that Jiangyin Sangong led 10 commoner soldiers, and he was able to resist 24 elite divisions of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Now give them three soldiers, horses and guns. In theory, they should be able to stop these pirates Tens of thousands of Zheng Jiajun were born.

Even if you can't completely defeat them, you can stop them, wait until you finish dealing with the affairs of the Qing Dynasty, and then personally lead the army to deal with the Zheng family's pirates!
But if a worker wants to do a good job, he must first sharpen his tools.If Lin Yi wanted to reuse the three princes of Jiangyin, he had to give them troops, weapons and silver. He could not sacrifice the flesh and blood of the common people in vain, and he could not cause tragedies like those in history. The city lives and dies.In addition, they must be given enough money and food, so that the heroes cannot bleed and cry!
Therefore, Lin Yi issued a second decree. This decree was given to the senior cabinet officials in Beijing, Gao Hongtu, and the others, asking them to fully support the military operations in Nanjing. All newly produced muskets will be transported to the front line of Jiangyin first, and mobilize troops from all over the country. Food and pay fully supported the military operations of Jiangyin Sangong.

After the decree is written, use Lin Yi's seal of the supervisor of the country, and then order someone to ride a fast horse to send Wang Daming's capital to Beijing.

At this time, Song Xiance raised a question. The capital of the Ming Dynasty, the Beijing side must have no problems. These officials, whether they are civil or military, whether they are eunuchs or the former Donglin Party, are now acting vigorously and resolutely. Only Lin Yi's leader is following the lead.

This point has been tested repeatedly by Lin Yi. The officials retained in Beijing, no matter what happened when Chongzhen was in the past, can still be justified now.

But that is not necessarily the case in Nanjing, mainly because Nanjing is far away from Beijing, and the old officials in Nanjing are all retired from the old bureaucrats of the Ming Dynasty. Lin Yi’s influence in these years is mainly in the north. Will the will of Lord Jian Guo be effective in Nanjing?
To put it bluntly, the key lies in one person, that is, Shi Kefa of Nanjing. He is now the Secretary of the Ministry of War in Nanjing. It's unimaginable.

Regarding Song Xiance's worries, Lin Yi laughed, "It's okay, Shi Kefa is a good comrade!"
