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

Chapter 410 Mutiny
Li Chengdong is an extremely complicated character. According to historical records, he was vicious, cruel, and capricious. His performance in the last years of the Ming Dynasty was comparable to that of Wu Sangui.

He is also from Shaanxi, and like Gao Jie, he was once a follower of Li Zicheng. They once led the peasant army to kill officials and eliminate bullies with great vigor. In the eyes of local farmers, they were also great heroes.

But for those who know his details, Li Chengdong's reputation is not very good, even worse than Gao Jie, as can be known from his nickname "Li Hezi".Myrobalan in ancient times refers to women's underwear, tube tops, bellybands, etc. Therefore, Li Chengdong's nicknames are now "Li Bra" and "Li Dudou".

It can be seen from this that this person must be lustful.

Now that Ji Dong had just arrived in Chengdu for a few days, his eyes were fixed on the woman beside Ji Dong.

Of course, there is no shortage of women around Lin Yi. In addition to Xiaoying, Zhezhe, Su Moer and other personal maids, hundreds of female battalion soldiers also came this time. Among them, There are not only Han beauties, but also Korean beauties and Mongolian beauties. It can be said that a hundred flowers bloom and compete for beauty.

On the day when Lin Yi's women's battalion entered the city, Li Chengdong looked straight at it.

So today, Li Chengdong and Gao Jie drank to draw Zuo Liangyu into the water, and Lin Yi reused Li Zicheng's remnant.

Now that Lin Yi asked them to be cannon fodder again, Gao Jie, Li Chengdong, Xu Dingguo and others were even more dissatisfied. Their judgment had already been revealed, but they had scruples and only a few thousand people.

They thought of Zuo Liangyu. They knew that Zuo Liangyu was powerful and had more than 2 people under him. They also knew Zuo Liangyu. The emperor has no choice but to appease them with a high salary or a big reward. He used to be a role model for their boss, He Renlong.

It's just that He Renlong's strength is incomparable to him.Therefore, the imperial court did not dare to deal with Zuo Liangyu, but instead asked Sun Chuanting to punish He Renlong.

If he hadn't met Ji Dong, He Renlong's head would have moved a long time ago.

However, He Renlong's misfortune gave Gao Jie, Li Chengdong, Xu Dingguo and others a chance, otherwise with Madman He around, these thousands of troops would not have fallen into the hands of Gao Jie and others.

Now that Gao Jie and Li Chengdong are in urgent need of help, Zuo Liangyu is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate for them at this time.

This drink was very successful for Gao Jie and Li Chengdong, and the next step was to discuss the matter of attacking Lin Yi.To deal with Ji Dong, they add one piece to a total of 3 horses, and Ji Yi has an army of 20 in the Chengdu area. In addition, the soldiers and horses brought by Ji Yi are well equipped, so the strength of the two sides is still very different, but they It can be done more carefully. For example, using fire to attack or using cannons and distributing gunpowder are all optional methods.

But unexpectedly, Jin Yiwei suddenly appeared to join in the fun at this time.Li Chengdong and the others were very surprised, but quickly calmed down, thinking that Jin Yiwei came at the right time.

Now that Zuo Liangyu has expressed his willingness to fight side by side with them and oppose Lin Yi together, Li Chengdong's lustful nature has also been shown. Using the woman next to Lin Yi to stimulate Zuo Liangyu is tantamount to screwing him , for fear that he would retreat.

"Master Ma, which fragrant wind brought you here?"

When Gao Jie and Li Chengdong saw Ma Luan, they didn't pretend to be close or pretend to be close. They smiled all over their faces and showed great enthusiasm. This is the real smile with a knife hidden.

"Hahaha," Ma Luan, who was fully armed and wearing an embroidered spring knife, was majestic and arrogant, and smiled a few times.

"Mamou came here uninvited, isn't it very annoying, hey, there is no way, who will let Mamou enjoy this mouthful. This mouthful smells the smell of wine and can't walk. Come here from the gate of the camp tonight to ask for a few A glass of water and wine, I wonder if everyone welcomes it?"

As Ma Luan said, his eyes flicked across the faces of Gao Jie, Li Chengdong and others.

"Master Commander is really good at joking, we can't invite you yet, hurry up and invite in, invite inside!"

Gao Jie and Li Chengdong hurriedly smiled apologetically, and gave in enthusiastically.

But their enthusiasm and the two words "please" have fallen behind Ma Luan's ass.

Because after Ma Luan finished speaking and glanced at them, he walked straight inside without waiting for them to let them go there. This style is really domineering like Jin Yiwei.

There were more than 50 Jinyiwei's entourage behind them, and they were also fully armed, holding the Xiuchun knife in their hands, and followed their Master Ma to the inside with big strides.

Moreover, it could be seen that these Jin Yiwei were all elite masters, their mouths curled up, their cheeks curled up, their eyes squinted, and they didn't even look at Gao Jie, Li Chengdong and others.They simply regard Gao Jie and Li Chengdong as nothing, and they are more casual than when they are in their own home. The kind of domineering is indescribable.

Gao Jie, Li Chengdong and the others gritted their teeth inwardly. You really think Lin is the emperor. It seems that you have been eyeing us for a long time. Judging by your looks, you will look as good as you in a while!

Gao Jie and Li Chengdong looked at each other tacitly, they had plans in mind, and on the surface they hurriedly followed behind respectfully and politely, followed closely.

Li Chengdong greeted other generals as he walked, and hurried over to serve these officials and gentlemen of Jinyiwei.

Who could provoke Jin Yiwei in those days?

When they arrived at the entrance of the tent, a strong smell of alcohol and meat wafted across their faces. A few small flag leaders led thirty or forty guards in brocade clothes, whooped and separated to the left and right, and stood guard at the entrance of the camp.

Ma Luan paused for a moment, and walked in as soon as he lifted the curtain unceremoniously, followed by more than a dozen people including Jin Yiwei's general banner.

Gao Jie and Li Chengdong nodded and bowed their heads, and entered with pleasant smiles.

"Hey, there are still guests here!" Ma Luan came in and saw Zuo Liangyu and his lieutenant Ma Shixiu sitting on their seats.

Zuo Liangyu's face became more and more red, emboldened by wine, the two of them braced themselves, groaning their buttocks, and forced a little smile on their faces.

But the smiles on their faces are not much better than crying.

"It turns out that Master Ma, the commanding officer of Jinyiwei, has been wronged and greeted, and forgives the crime face to face."

"Welcome or not, Mr. Ma has come uninvited." Ma Luan said, and sat down on the master's seat, which was Gao Jie's seat.

Gao Jie and Li Chengdong had no choice but to stand beside them, bowing their waists.

Ma Luan didn't speak, picked up Gao Jie's wine glass and took a sip of wine, "Well, good wine!"

Then he put down the wine glass, rinsed the chopsticks Gao Jie used just now in Zuo Liangyu's tea bowl next to him, took a bite of the food, and chewed it like no one else, eating very sweetly, and praised: " Food tastes good too.”

Seeing the situation, Zuo Liangyu and Ma Shixiu also slowly stood up from their seats.Because Ma Luan even drank and ate meat here, Gao Jie and Li Chengdong didn't dare to sit down. Looking at them here, how could they dare to sit down?

"Sit, sit, why are you standing?" Ma Luan said to Zuo Liangyu, Gao Jie and the others as if nothing had happened.

But still no one sat.

At this time Li Chengdong spoke, "Dare to ask Mr. Ma, are you here for a drink today? Or do you have other business?"

Upon hearing this, Ma Luan looked at Li Chengdong's narrow and long face, then slowly put down the chopsticks, and stopped chewing in his mouth.

"It's really a bit of a public matter. Lord Jian Guo is strategizing. Tomorrow, we will smash the bandits. I will thank you, my lords, for the heavy task of luring the enemy. I must have heard that Lord Jian Guo governs the army very strictly. Alcohol was not allowed before. However, everyone will go to the battlefield tomorrow, or you will be shrouded in horse leather, or your name will last forever. Just say a few words. Let’s pretend that nothing happened today, but you must not drink too much. If there is any trouble or it will affect the lure of the enemy tomorrow, the supervisor’s temper must be clear to you. .”

Ma Luan shook his head, insinuating.

None of Gao Jie, Zuo Liangyu, Li Chengdong, and Ma Shixiu were slow to respond. Of course, they knew what Ma Luan meant. Don't look at what Ma Luan said was very friendly and relaxed. In fact, he was soft but hard. Hidden knife in smile.

It seems that it is really exposed, today's matter is on the verge of death, and it has to be done!
Therefore, on the faces of several people, some were cold, some were smiling, some were depressed, and some were courteous on the surface and secretly gritted their teeth hard.

At this time, I heard the sound of running outside, and it wasn't a single person running, it should be a thousand horses and thousands of troops, and there was the sound of someone shouting and neighing, getting closer and closer.

"You go over there, you follow me, hurry up! Surround the whole place, seal the camp gate, and no one is allowed to go out!"

The movement could be heard clearly in the camp, and everyone knew what they were doing.

The dozen Jinyi guards behind Ma Luan pulled out half of the Xiuchun knives on their bodies, and they followed Ma Luan's wink.

Ma Luan's face was also tense, the smile just now was gone, he didn't expect that people like Gao Jie were so daring, they dared to blatantly mobilize troops, this is to attack them!
"Lord Zuo, Lord Gao, you have to rein in the cliff, the sea of ​​suffering is boundless, and you will be right when you turn back." Ma Luan swung his eyes outward as he said.

"Hahaha," at this moment Gao Jie laughed uncharacteristically, his waist straightened up, his chest was raised high, and before he could stop laughing, dozens of Jin Yiwei outside had been forced in, followed by countless soldiers under him. The general barged in, the archers, the axemen, and the musketeers, and the two sides confronted each other like this, the swords were on the verge of breaking out, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Now Gao Jie, Li Chengdong, Zuo Liangyu and Ma Shixiu all showed cruel expressions on their faces, completely different from the depression and humility just now.

"Master Ma, you ate and drank, and you have said what you need to say. It's time for Gao to say a few words. You Jin Yiwei are amazing! What a precipice, we are going against the law today!" Gao Jie said rushing With a wave of his hand behind him, he shouted an order: "Come on, take them all down for me, and kill anyone who resists!"

The soldiers under him will rush up, and they will take people when they come over.

"Gao Jie, you, as an official of the imperial court, are so wicked, you will regret it!" Ma Luan pointed at Gao Jie's nose, obviously underestimating their courage.

At this time, several Jinyiwei had already been handed over with Xiuchun knives and tied up.

"Hahaha," Li Chengdong took over the words, "Master Commander is right, we really don't change our minds. What is the surname Lin? It's a national traitor named Jian Guo. It's a pity you gave him back Being a dog leg, it is you who regret it now!"

At this time, someone came to take off Ma Luan's Xiuchun knife, and Ma Luan was still sitting there. The matter was not as simple as he thought. He forced himself to calm down, and his eyes rolled: he must not be caught without a fight, and fell into the hands of these bastards. There is absolutely no good fruit to eat in my hand, I must send a letter to Lord Jian Guo as soon as possible, and dispatch troops and generals to eradicate these rebels.

These people dared to mobilize a crowd to mutiny under the eyes of adults, what a death!It seems that Mr. Jian Guo is really sharp-eyed. How did he know that these people are going to rebel? We were right when we came. These people are daring and obsessed. Woolen cloth?
Ma Luan's eyes fell on the jug and candles on the table.

Got it!

His eyes lit up and he had an idea. At this time, the Xiuchun knife in his waist had been taken off, and some generals came to tie him up.At this moment, he suddenly picked up the jug on the table.

"Hahaha, you all come and drink, drink!"

As he spoke, he picked up the jug and pointed it at the approaching generals, pouring water on his head, face and body.

These soldiers thought that Ma Luan could only be captured without a fight, because so many soldiers had already surrounded dozens of him, and if they resisted, they would be chopped into minced meat in minutes. Unexpectedly, Ma Luan would use the flagon to deal with them, so Quickly dodged to the side, afraid of pouring wine on him.

But despite this, two of them were poured with wine all over their heads and faces. Of course, wine was also sprinkled on the table on the ground, and Xun Tian's wine smell wafted up.

After Ma Luan finished pouring the wine, he turned the wine jug towards one person, then took the candle on the table and lit the wine on the table, then ignited the wine on the ground, and it ignited with a bang , Two soldiers were also on fire.

It's a mess in the big tent.

"Catch them!" Gao Jie didn't expect that the commander of Jin Yiwei was really powerful, so he shouted.

Ma Luan threw the candle at Gao Jie, and Gao Jie turned his head to avoid it. At this time, Li Chengdong and Xu Dingguo led people to protect Gao Jie, and ordered the soldiers to kill him.

At this time, Ma Luan saw that there was a fire in the tent, and then kicked the table away.

This is when a few soldiers pointed their swords and guns at him and greeted him. Ma Luan dodged left and right, but he was still stabbed in the back. There was a big gash more than an inch deep, and blood spattered.

The excruciating pain was as if half of his arm had been removed, causing him to sway and almost fall down.

But he gritted his teeth, and rushed forward, just leaning on a chair, using the chair as a fulcrum for his body, and with such a turn, he swung the chair up, knocking down a few people The general then ran away in the light of the flames and broke into the tent.

But there are all Gao Jie's soldiers outside, thousands of heads are moving, and the torches are shining like daylight.

Ma Luan had no choice but to risk his life, grabbed a knife, and rushed to kill him desperately.

Now the big tent was full of flames, and two of Gao Jie's soldiers had their faces and heads on fire, screaming and running around. The dozens of Jinyi guards brought by Ma Luan saw that the lord had made a move, and none of them would Staring and waiting for death, everyone will do their best to stand up and resist, if they can draw a knife, they will draw a knife, those who can use their feet will use their feet, those who can walk the wind will walk the wind, and those who can rain will rain.

None of these people is an idiot, they are all elites selected from Jinyiwei, otherwise they would not be able to become the follower of the leader of Jinyiwei.

So soon dozens of Jin Yiwei turned their hands back, and Gao Jie's generals were cut down. At this time, the torches in the tent were also ignited. Howling, running, chaos, wolves running.

But after all, Jin Yiwei had few people, and soon many Jin Yiwei were chopped down in a pool of blood. A few of them with good skills rushed out of the big tent with Ma Luan, but were surrounded by heavy soldiers again.

"Fire the arrows and shoot them dead!"

Random arrows were fired, and several Jin Yiwei were shot down on the spot.

Ma Luan jumped, jumped, rolled, and crawled, guarded by a few guards in brocade clothes, and ran to the shadowy place, turned over a tent, jumped over two ditches, and disappeared into the night.

At this time, the remaining dozens of Jinyiwei were all poured into a pool of blood.

"Catch me! Don't let one go!" Xu Dingguo yelled, and his soldiers held torches, like wolves and tigers, chasing and searching, every corner of the camp was spared.

"My lord, Mr. Zuo, after all, paper can't contain the fire. The matter is urgent. Now raise troops quickly, don't worry about the Jinyiwei, it will be too late." Li Chengdong is really handsome. reminded.

Gao Jie and Zuo Liangyu thought what Li Chengdong said was reasonable. The two battalions decided to split up and use all their troops to surround Lin Yi's camp from the left and right. This was their only chance.

3 horses is not too much, but it is not too little. Now it is the second watch. If Ji Yi is caught or killed by surprise, they will succeed. Otherwise, they will die. The situation in front of them is very clear. .

Every second must be counted, and compromise and neglect are self-defeating.

So Zuo Liangyu and Ma Shixiu also woke up from the wine, Zuo Liangyu and Ma Shixiu flew on their horses, and hurriedly left Gao Jie's camp with their entourage, and went back to his camp.

Gao Jie, Xu Dingguo, and Li Chengdong stopped hunting and killing these Jinyiwei, and sent orders to gather all the troops, and soon his 6000-odd troops were all assembled.

Gao Jie, Li Chengdong, and Xu Dingguo were all wearing armor and wearing neat clothes. They flew on horses with knives and guns. More than 6000 people rushed out of the camp, lined up with torches, and rushed to Lin Yi's camp.

It was late at night in the second watch, and the streets were quiet, except for the sound of thousands of horses marching, the chaotic sound of trampling horseshoes, and the occasional neighing of horses broke the tranquility of the night...

Zuo Liangyu led his lieutenant general Ma Shixiu and several other entourages, and ran into their camp like a fire burning his buttocks, startling the guards at the gate of the camp. In this way, it seems to be kicked out by wolves?
After Zuo Liangyu and others set up camp, they immediately ordered all the troops to assemble. His troops were several times larger than Gao Jie's, with 3 to [-] troops, but it would take time for such troops to assemble immediately.

In particular, Zuo Liangyu's team is also a miscellaneous army, including the regular Ming army, and some exiles surrendered, including Li Zicheng's, Zhang Xianzhong's, and other exiles who were defeated and captured or surrendered voluntarily. Zuo Liangyu Their military discipline is also poor, and they all know that they will lure the enemy tomorrow, so except for the guards and patrol personnel left in the battalion, everyone has fallen asleep at this time. There are also widows who spend the night in brothels.

The second watch had passed, and it would of course take time for these people to assemble immediately for military operations. The sounds of whistles, shouts, running, and neighing of war horses would become indistinguishable.

Many generals were woken up in a daze and didn't know what happened. They heard that they were urgently assembled and acted immediately. Some thought that the city was broken and thieves from outside the city attacked. They panicked and wore their clothes. That's right, there are many people who can't find helmets, armor and guns, and it's hard for the team to assemble.

Countless torches in Zuo Liangyu's camp were shining like daylight. Zuo Liangyu, who was fully armed, mounted a horse and carried a knife, with a bow and arrows hanging from his back. Now of course they all know what they are going to do, and they are shocked and excited at the same time.

Zuo Liangyu gave an order: "Let's go!" More than 2 people marched out of the camp, onto the street, and rushed towards Lin Yi's mansion...

Lin Yi's handsome mansion is also where Lin Yi works and lives. Of course, it is Zhang Xianzhong's former Xijing Imperial Palace. When Lin Yi came here, Gao Guiying and Li Yan had already vacated it and cleaned it up.

Lin Yi is very satisfied with this place. Although it is not as good as Beijing's Miyagi, it is not as good as Nanjing's accompanying capital, and it is not even as good as the Shengjing Palace Palace built by the Tatars after the Han people, but it is undoubtedly the most luxurious building in Chengdu. , It is also a red wall with carved beams and painted buildings, and pavilions and pavilions. Lin Yi is used to living here these days.

During the day, I dealt with affairs in the military camp, as well as urgent matters reported by Pegasus in Beijing and Nanjing. In the morning, I practiced martial arts, and in the evening, there were beauties singing and dancing to raise peace.

After a few days of planning, tomorrow will lure the enemy's elephant army, all the soldiers and horses have been arranged, and at sunset, Lin Yi ordered a sumptuous banquet to be set up. I'm tired of eating, this time of course it's Sichuan style.

Xiaoying and Zhezhe were company, and Su Moer led others to pour wine and serve vegetables.Lin Yi clapped three times, and soon the professional singers from the women's battalion came. They took off their military uniforms and put on the makeup of singers. After that, I started to fiddle with the instruments in my hands, blowing and playing, and the orchestra played.

Surrounded by a group of beauties, Xing Wanfang, who is like a butterfly in love with flowers, slides onto the dance floor, and then dances lightly. These dancers are all like flowers waiting to be picked, showing their youth in various ways...

Then Xing Wanfang began to play the pipa. Dressed in white, she had bright eyes and her singing voice was like pearls falling on a jade plate, making people mesmerized.

In the outer court, Zhang Hua led the soldiers of the guard battalion, armed with live ammunition, and the patrolling soldiers walked by from time to time.

At this time, Ma Luan, the leader of Jinyiwei, ran in covered in blood. When Lin Yi heard this, he was furious...
