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

Chapter 424: Loyalty Hou Qin Liangyu
Zu Keyong and Dong Sheng led two battalions of soldiers to step into the rebel camp, leaving Dong Sheng's Invincible Battalion to control the rebel camp. Zu Keyong led the standard battalion to chase after Sun Kewang and Mu Tianbo's troops , Chased for more than 20 miles in one breath, until the rebels ran away without a trace, and it was already dusk, Zu Keyong stopped his soldiers and horses.

After Zu Keyong returned with the victorious soldiers, he joined Dongsheng's soldiers and horses, and reported victory to Lin Yi in the city more than 20 miles away. The battalion rested temporarily to guard the prisoners and stand by for orders. The next day, Lin Yi sent tens of thousands of horses to clean up the battlefield outside the city.

This battle was fought so beautifully that Sun Kewang and Mu Tianbo's rebel army was wiped out 10,000+ within a day, and the number of rebels captured exceeded 7. Although Sun Kewang and Mu Tianbo were not captured, it can be asserted that, They have been severely injured, unable to fight against Da Ming anymore.

Next, deal with the post-war affairs, treat the wounded, repair the city, and take care of the trophies. There are too many trophies, piled up like mountains, knives, guns, equipment, grain, grass, horses, gongs, tents, gold, silver, silk, and other military supplies. Register a few thick books , and hundreds of war elephants were obtained. The war elephants that fell into the moat were salvaged, and the wounded were treated, the sick were treated, and the dead were helpless.

"What are you keeping these beasts for?" Xiaoying asked puzzled.

"Let them go home, elephants have homes too."

"Let them go? These animals have committed a heinous crime. How many of us have been killed, they should all be executed!" Xiaoying said angrily.

"My heroic soldiers of the Ming Dynasty deserved to die, but we can't slaughter these beasts. It's meaningless. They are just tools used by others. Keep them. You can exchange them for some money in the future. This is not a small fortune. !” Lin Yi laughed.

"Brother Lin, what do you mean, you will settle accounts with the King of Burma in the future?" Xiaoying Ruo realized something.

"Hahaha... Ying Er is really smart once." Lin Yi smiled and nodded at him.

This time, tens of thousands of people worked hard for five or six days just to clean up the battlefield, bury the corpses, and deal with post-war affairs.

Let the quartermaster register all the meritorious service of the soldiers of each battalion in the merit book, and then reward the three armies generously, congratulating for three days.

Then deal with these captives.Lin Yi’s attitude towards the captives is clear, and the policy is also consistent. Focus on education and follow individual wishes. Those who are willing to serve as soldiers will stay and be selected. Those who do not want to be soldiers can be sent back to their hometowns after registration. If they rebel and are caught again, new and old debts will be settled together. According to the law of Ming Dynasty, those who should be beheaded will be beheaded, those who should be sent to prison will be sent to prison, and those who have committed serious crimes will be sentenced to death.

After education and registration, only more than 1 people were left, and they were reorganized, and then added to the localities and Ji Dong's battalions to offset the reduction of soldiers, and most of the rest were released. .

The more than 5 people who were acquitted were very grateful. They couldn't believe that there would be such a cheap thing. You must know that at the time they opposed the imperial court and rebelled. Capital punishment, even family ransacking.

However, Ji Dong has given them God's grace now. After some education, he made a registration and was released without charge. The previous things were wiped out. To be an obedient citizen of the Ming Dynasty, this matter is over, and those who are injured, sick, disabled, and living in difficulties can still receive pensions and relief from the landlord's government office. The prison amnesty is still strong!

With enough food and drink to live on, who would rebel with his head tucked into his trouser belt?My lord is really a wise king through the ages, with lord Lin here, I will never oppose the imperial court again in this life!

Tens of thousands of people were grateful, and secretly vowed in their hearts that they would be obedient citizens of the Ming Dynasty in the future.

Affected by Lin Yi's preferential treatment of captives, many bandits and grassroots who occupied the mountain as king, and countless small gangs of thieves, burned down their cottages one after another, and broke up with each other. Order Song Xiance and Li Yan to handle these tasks on their behalf.

Of course, Lin Yi also sent people these days to inquire about the situation of Sun Kewang and Mu Tianbo's remnants. He said that they had disappeared without a trace, and they probably went to Yunnan.

This war had a great impact. It not only relieved the crisis in Chengdu, Sichuan, but also brought half of Sichuan in the southwest back to the rule of Ming Dynasty. The defeat of Sun Kewang and Mu Tianbo's troops, all local officials from all over Sichuan came to congratulate them. Including those officials who used to occupy the land occupied by Sun Kewang and Mu Tianbo, many of them had already turned to Sun Kewang and Mu Tianbo, and some of them were still on the sidelines, but now they all turned to Daming. When Li came to meet Ji Dong, those timid ones of course did not dare to come, fearing that Lin Yi would settle accounts with him, and fled with a seal of gold.

All these things are accepted and accepted by Ji Dong. Of course, Lin Yi knows that he has an account in his heart. It is not time to govern the officialdom. Let these matters be left to the officials of the cabinet. As for the affairs of the world, he knows that governing the world is more difficult than fighting the world!

Someone came to report on this day, saying that it was the loyal Marquis Qin Liangyu who had come.

When Lin Yi heard the name, he stood up immediately, because Qin Liangyu's reputation was too great. Qin Liangyu and her husband Ma Qiancheng made great contributions to the Ming Dynasty. The Qin family (Ma family) was full of loyalty. In history, Qin Liangyu's husband died After she died, she continued to serve the imperial court with her white soldiers. She traveled thousands of miles to serve the king several times. There was a bloody battle against the Manchu Tartars on the Hun River outside the customs. Qin Liangyu's brother died in battle. With one eye, she and her white soldiers left a page full of ink and color. Emperor Chongzhen personally named her a loyal marquis, and wrote several poems praising her integrity. She is the only female woman recorded in the annals of history in China. General, others like Mu Guiying, Hua Mulan, and Liang Hongyu all have elements of folklore, which are not recorded in official history.

Before crossing, Ji Dong had heard of this name.

After crossing over, I even heard about Qin Liangyu and her white soldiers. A few years ago, when Lin Yi dispatched a surprise army to kill Huang Taiji, Qin Liangyu and her white soldiers who were ordered to go to Qin Wang walked halfway Back again, that time Lin Yi and Qin Liangyu missed each other.

Lin Yi has been in Sichuan for the past few days and has been busy with military affairs. He has forgotten about this famous historical general. He did not expect that Marquis Zhongzhen is here now.

Lin Yi immediately sent an order to summon this heroine.

In the afternoon of that day, Lin Yi met this famous heroine in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the imperial palace where Zhang Xianzhong lived.

After the accompanying eunuch shouted, a silver-haired female general soon entered the hall, and Lin Yi immediately fixed his eyes on it. Is this the famous Marquis Zhongzhen?She was wrinkled and wrinkled, but she still looked radiant in a brand-new Marquis uniform, her steps were steady, her waist was straight, she took a few steps, and quickly knelt down in front of Lin Yi.

Lin Yi looked at it, turned around quickly, and looked at Qin Liangyu's fame, and her silver hair, Lin Yi could not help but make her kneel down, and put his hands together, "The old general is free from courtesy, this year is Gui Geng?"

"The old minister is seventy one this year," Qin Liangyu said in an old voice, but he didn't get up, "The old minister came to see Mr. Jian Guo today, mainly to make an apology."

"Oh, the old general has great achievements and is full of loyalty and bravery. What is the crime?" Lin Yi was startled, he quickly pulled her up, asked her to sit down and said slowly, a man in his 70s, he is against her today. In other words, no matter how serious the crime is, Ji Dong will forgive her.

"Hey," Qin Liangyu sighed softly, "at the beginning, when my lord supervised the Ming Dynasty, the veteran was really dissatisfied. To be honest, if the veteran hadn't been a few years old, he would have brought troops to the capital to the side of the Qing emperor. The veteran always thought that Your Excellency is a thief who steals the country. Now the old minister understands. Your Excellency came to the country on behalf of the prince, drove the Tartars to the north, and went south to suppress the thieves. I was sick and trained soldiers, and today I am too late to plead guilty, I deeply feel that the crime is serious, please forgive me, my lord."

Qin Liangyu spoke very emotionally, and at this point, he got up and knelt down to Lin Yi again.

Lin Yi was quite touched, and quickly stopped her. As expected of a loyal marquis, he lived up to his reputation and dared to speak the truth in front of him.Among the hundreds of officials, most of them are flattering and flattering people, and there are also some people who are obedient and obedient, and people who follow the wind and change the rudder. People like Zhongzhenhou are almost rare.

Therefore, Lin Yi pardoned Qin Liangyu's innocence on the spot.

Of course Lin Yi knew that Qin Liangyu would not come sooner or later, and that coming at this time alone must have been affected by the Battle of Chengdu, because his son Ma Xianglin and his nephew Qin Jiming were both commanders-in-chief of Sichuan, and Zhang Xianzhong occupied Sichuan back then. Well, when Daxi Kingdom was established, they didn't dare to offend the Ma family and the Qin family at all. This was the prestige of Qin Liangyu and her white soldiers.

And this time when Lin Yi went to Sichuan, it was supposed that the Qin family and the Ma family should have come to visit him, but they never came, which was against what Qin Liangyu said.He, Lin Yi, drove away the Tartars all these years. The Qin family and the Ma family pretended to be deaf and dumb. Now they are still waiting to see the battle in Chengdu. It is not until they drive away the rogue rebels like Sun Kewang and Mu Tianbo that Qin Liangyu is completely convinced. Yes, admitting and accepting oneself as a neighboring country.

Daming is the world of the Zhu family, and someone with the surname Lin wants to supervise the country. There must be some people who are not convinced. Of course, Qin Liangyu is among them. Now that the loyal Marquis Qin Liangyu has surrendered, it is not easy!
Qin Liangyu saw that Lin Yi didn't mean to blame her at all, and was also very moved. This is the real emperor's demeanor.

"Master Jian Guo, the veteran has the heart to lead the bow and lead the bow to be the pioneer of the Ming Dynasty, but his age is not forgiving, and he is no longer able to ride a peach blossom horse or a white gun. However, the veteran's ambition to serve the country loyally has never been extinguished. He has practiced for three years. Qianbaigan, besides, my son Xianglin, grandson Wannian and nephew Ji Ming have learned the arts, have a heart to serve the country, and are willing to listen to the adults."

Lin Yi was deeply moved when he heard the words, overjoyed, and accepted it readily.
