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

Chapter 387 Yan Yingyuan Receives the Order

As soon as Lin Yi said this, everyone present was stunned, especially the word "comrade", everyone was particularly puzzled, because there was no such word in that era.

"Brother Lin, isn't Master Shi the Secretary of the Ministry of War in Nanjing?" It was Xiaoying who dared to break the casserole and ask the end.

Lin Yi only smiled and said: "Comrade is not the same knowledge, like-minded people are comrades."

As soon as Xiaoying heard this, she quickly ordered someone to take a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and recorded this sentence as a famous saying.

Ji Dong laughed in his heart and she didn't stop him, let her remember it if he wanted, but if he had to remember it like this, it would probably be a lot of money after a long time.

Why Shi Kefa is a good comrade, Lin Yi explained to them next, so that Song Xiance and others don't have to worry.

Shi Kefa can also be regarded as an all-powerful figure in the Ming Dynasty. In a certain respect, he can even be compared with the well-known Hong Chengchou.

There is a well-written couplet: the history of the pen is flowing, although it is not famous, it will be law;It highly summarizes the powerful but very different lives of these two characters.

During the Chongzhen period, the two were both important officials of the Ming Dynasty. Needless to say, Hong Chengchou, Shi Kefa was a very filial person. His filial piety was well-known in the village. He once served as a pusher in Xi'an, and later became an official in the Ministry of Household Affairs.Later, he was promoted to the censor of the inspection capital. He was the governor of Anhui, Henan, Jiangxi and Huguang on behalf of the imperial court. He once supervised the encirclement and suppression of bandits in Henan, Hubei and Anhui. , this point is exactly the same as Hong Chengchou.

But later, the two took two completely different paths.Hong Chengchou surrendered to the Qing Dynasty and became a shameful traitor, and became the vanguard of the Manchu Qing army's horse marching on the Central Plains to enslave the Han people.

However, after Shi Kefa hanged himself after Emperor Chongzhen, he supported Xiaofu Wang Zhu Yousong, who had fled to Nanjing, to sit on the throne and defend the Hongguang regime. As a national hero against the Qing Dynasty.

However, Shi Gong, as a national hero, has certain controversies.

One is that he is a member of the Donglin Party. In the Ming Dynasty, especially at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the Donglin Party members and the eunuch group were regarded as enemies of the Ming Dynasty, or called sinners.Because these two groups are powerful enough to fight against the imperial court, launch party struggles, control the court, constrain the emperor, fight for power, and intrigue. This is one of the internal worries. The second internal worry is the rogues everywhere. The natural disasters during the period, the foreign aggression was the Manchus and the Mongolian Tartars outside the pass, and the three major internal worries plus the two major foreign aggressions eventually brought the Ming Dynasty to its demise. Therefore, from this aspect, the Donglin Party was a factor that accelerated the demise of the Ming Dynasty.

The second reason is that when Shi Kefa supported the first emperor of the Southern Ming Dynasty, his performance was extremely low. Affected by the Donglin party members and the Hongwan case, he initially disapproved of supporting Zhu Yousong. Lu Wang and so on, after Zhu Yousong came to the throne, he was played by Ma Shiying again, and he was quickly excluded from the court, and went to Yangzhou to wipe the ass of Gao Jie and other warlords.

Due to the influence of these two aspects, the image left by Shi Gong is greatly reduced.

But these are not important to Ji Dong, the important thing is that he is still loyal to Daming in the end. In this turbulent and chaotic world, it is inevitable for a person to have a record of incompetence. Everyone has his own limitations in his thinking. No one is perfect, as long as his general direction is good and his advantages dominate, it is already commendable!

Moreover, Lin Yi has a new understanding of the current Donglin Party. Now that the eunuchs have restrained themselves, even the most thorny warlords in the Ming Dynasty, including Zuo Liangyu, Liu Liangzuo, Liu Zeqing, and Gao Jie, are now obediently listening to him. The supervisor of the country has been dispatched, so what is the difference between him, the Donglin Party who is still loyal to Daming?

Therefore, Ji Dong felt that the public could use it, and that history could be done!
After convincing the civil and military generals, Lin Yi went to Ning to watch their training again.

At midnight tonight, Haicheng will be attacked on a large scale.But this is a matter for the male battalion soldiers, and the daytime training for the female battalion soldiers will continue as usual.

Today's women's camp training is mainly about horseback riding, archery and horse fighting. The head coach is of course Zhezhe, a heroine from the Mongolian Ongniute Department...

Jiangyin County.That is, Jiangyin City, Jiangsu Province in later generations.This place got its name because it is located in the shade of the great river. Because of its very important geographical location, it guards the throat of the great river, so it has always been a battleground for military strategists.

During the Chongzhen period, there were more than a dozen forts here, mainly to prevent Japanese pirates from invading.

On this day, the magistrate of Jiangyin came to welcome Shi Kefa, Minister of the Ministry of War in Nanjing, with several staff including the county magistrate.

The small county seat ushered in such court officials, and several small officials, such as the magistrate and the county magistrate, were flattered, something they never dreamed of.The grandness of the reception is similar to that of the imperial court in person. The clear water is splashed on the street and the loess is used to line the road, and the gongs and drums are played and the lanterns and festoons are played. It is more lively than a festival.

After Shi Kefa's eight-carried sedan chair was covered with dust, several minor officials in Jiangyin County fell to the ground, kneeling and kowtowing, for fear of lack of courtesy.For this etiquette, the county magistrate took a few staff Zhou Le to practice non-stop for three days and three nights, just to kowtow to salute the meeting.

But no matter how well they kowtowed, Shi Kefa didn't care to watch, so he asked Yan Yingyuan, Chen Mingyu, and Feng Houdun to come and see them by name.

Lord Magistrate waited for these county officials to look terrified, thinking that their ears had misheard. Lord Shi came here not to meet them, but to meet these three unknown people?Why is this? After confirming that there is no mistake, where are the three of them?Send someone to find it quickly!

Finally, the guards finally found these three people. Yan Yingyuan and Feng Houdun were on their way to catch the thief, and Chen Mingyu was teaching his subordinates to practice martial arts.

When the three of them heard this, their eyes widened. They couldn't believe that Nanjing's Minister of Military Affairs could come to see them in person.The three of them were overwhelmed, and quickly packed up their things and changed into new clothes. When they arrived at the county government office, Shi Kefa had been waiting here for more than an hour with the county magistrate.

After the three came in, they kowtowed upwards. Shi Kefa didn't know these three before. While waiting for the three of them, he thought in his heart that there should be nothing wrong with Master Lin's fancy.

So as soon as Shi Kefa came in, he stared at these three people, and saw that these three people were really good-looking, mighty, and they were all in their prime.

Yan Yingyuan was tall and tall, with a yellow face, a beard on his chin, silkworm eyebrows and phoenix eyes, a straight nose and a wide mouth.The other two are slightly shorter, with dark faces, thick eyebrows and tiger eyes, one round face and the other long face. Looking from top to bottom, they give people a very strong and strong feeling.

Shi Kefa nodded, he was a bit like a general, but the three of them were dressed in plain clothes, they didn't look like a powerful general at all.

Shi Kefa looked at it, asked them to get up, and ordered three chairs to be brought over for them to sit down.These three dare not lower their heads, they dare not even straighten their waists, they don't squint, they only dare to look at the ground.

Because the identities of the adults above are so different from theirs, it’s like the grandma of the later generations receiving a grassroots company cadre, even in front of their county magistrate and county magistrate, they have to stand respectfully Respectfully.

Therefore, under such circumstances, how could these three people dare to sit down, and they don't know the good or bad news this time. The county magistrate, the county magistrate, there are so many adults here, what does Master Shi want them to do by naming them?They have never seen such a big official in their lives.

When Shi Kefa came up with the will, they became even more stupid. It turned out that Kefa came here on behalf of Nanjing, and Lin Yi's will was still on him.

The three princes of Jiangyin, including the county magistrate, county magistrate, and county lieutenant, all knelt down at once. Don't think it was the order of Lord Jian Guo, it was the same as the imperial edict at this time.

When Shi Kefa finished reading Lin Yi's will, all the kneeling people were dumbfounded, not only Jiangyin Sangong, but even the county magistrates, masters, and guards present were all astonished like ice sculptures and clay sculptures.

Shi Kefa saw what was wrong with it. Are you all deaf?I had to recite the will aloud.

"Lin Yi, the lord of the supervisory state, said that Zheng Zhilong of Nan'an, Fujian Province, betrayed Ming Dynasty, proclaimed himself king, started a rebellion for no reason, and harmed the southeast coast and Jianghuai. Yan Yingyuan, Chen Mingyu, and Feng Houdun were promoted to be the commander and commander of the Jianghuai army and horses respectively. Knowing and directing frugal affairs, mobilizing troops from the Jianghuai River and Huaihe River, and trying our best to repel the thieves, there must be no mistakes, and the Nanjing and Jianghuai three divisions must fully cooperate in suppressing the thieves."

This time I heard everything clearly. Among the three people, there is a small official in the history department who suddenly became a big official in the frontier, and the commander of the three armies commanded a thousand horses and thousands of troops.
how can that be?How could Lord Jian Guo issue such an edict?Can these three take on this important task?What kind of background do they have, and whose door did they walk through?

For a while, the faces of the county magistrate, county magistrate and other staff members who were present all became strange. They couldn't figure out why Lin Yi suddenly promoted the three of them, and they were still in such a high position. Well, is this decree wrong, or is this Master Shi reading it wrong?It's impossible to think about it again, maybe Yan Yingyuan and the three of them hit the big luck, and I don't know which life they cultivated for their blessings.

The most inconceivable thing was that the three of them, Yan Yingyuan, lay on the ground and forgot to kowtow to thank each other. The three of them looked at each other, as if they didn't know each other.

"Why, why don't you thank me?"

"Your Excellency, I have a small official position, what can I do? How can I be worthy of this important task?"

"Master Jian Guo said that if you can do it, you will be able to do it. Don't refuse any more, and take office immediately. Huai'an, Jiangsu now counts the navy, including 48000 people, 300 red cannons, and 400 warships, including the headquarters. Inside the hall, the staff of Nanjing and Jianghuai's big and small yamen, military and civilian personnel and other materials are all used by the adults, and the rebels are not far from here."

Yan Yingyuan and the other three had no choice but to kneel down and thank En to accept the order.Then bathe and change clothes, and take office. The three of them put on armor, ride on horses, carry big swords, hang swords on their waists, and carry bows and arrows behind their backs. It's a saddle.

Accompanied by Shi Kefa, their previous superiors, magistrates and county magistrates, including senior officials of the three yamen in the Jianghuai area, magistrates, inspectors, push officials, and the capital, chief secretary, and procuratorate, etc., all came to see the newly appointed three adults. .

At this time, Zu Keyong, the admiral of the Jingying soldiers of the Great Ming Jingshi Beijing, arrived in person with a batch of new-style muskets and food and salaries.

The three of Yan Yingyuan were overwhelmed by the flattery, and burst into tears of gratitude, and went north to worship: "Since Lord Jian Guo loves you so much, we will be utterly devoted to our country, live up to the entrustment of Lord Lin and all the adults, and fight to the death with the rebels of the Zheng family!"
