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

Chapter 44
After the four of them left, Lin Yi thought about it. Many of these generals in the city were the confidantes of the garrison master Wang Cheng. How can it be done, something bad will happen at a critical moment, and the general must be changed immediately, among other things, the four-door defender must be changed.

But in special times, the matter of changing generals is no small matter.The main reason is that Lin Yi has just arrived. To Lin Yi and the more than 1000 old, weak, sick and disabled soldiers, both sides are new faces.

Lin Yi took Xiaoying and others down the city, and immediately came to see Zu Keyong and Wang Jian.

Now the injuries of these two people have stabilized, but they still can't get out of bed, but their brains are still good, and they can give Lin Yi advice, and they should be staff. In addition, Lin Yi sent an order to invite Zhang Shouye, the pusher.

After these few incidents, Lin Yi knew that Zhang Shouye was a rare good official among Yongping's staff, not to mention whether he was greedy or not, honest or not, loyal to Ming Dynasty, loyal to the court, and caring about the people. Good officer.To defend Yongping City, he is an available candidate, and Lin Yi plans to ask him for many things.

Tuiguan has been around since the Tang Dynasty. After five dynasties, Song and Yuan, the Tuiguan was a civil official from the sixth rank to the seventh rank official. Each prefecture and county has a deputy, who is in charge of criminal names and praises. Code.

Regardless of whether Tuiguan is a sesame official of the sixth or seventh rank, or a deputy, but it is the first official position of a new Jinshi in the Ming Dynasty. It can be seen that the imperial court attaches great importance to Tuiguan, and it also shows the importance of this official position. Its powers and responsibilities are roughly equivalent to those of later generations. public security department.

The Ming Dynasty also produced many outstanding officials, such as the official Yuan Keli, who enforced the law impartially and did not fear violence.

Now Zhang Shouye, the official promoted by Yongping, is also an official loyal to the Ming court. He is also busy and sweating profusely. Evil gentry, all their money has been collected, and a total of 50000 taels of silver is still in excess.

Of course, Ji Dong was also very happy. Money can lead to magic, and money can make ghosts turn the clock. With this batch of money, the problem will be solved.

It seems that the Ming Dynasty was short of money, the silver was all smuggled, the court had no money, the common people had no money, but the officials, merchants, wealthy households, local tyrants and evil gentry had plenty of money.

Next, Ji Dong proposed to change generals.

Wang Jian frowned after hearing this: "My lord, it is a big taboo for military strategists to change generals before the battle. If the soldiers mutiny, the consequences will be disastrous."

Lin Yi said: "My lord Wang is right, and this Lin has also considered it. However, if he does not change generals, Lin can assert that the four guards are now Wang Cheng's confidantes. Don't think about giving them money now. They are enthusiastic, submissive, they don’t recognize anyone when they have money in their pockets, they may not be able to obey Lin’s military orders at critical moments, and there is a disturbance at one of the city gates, and the consequences are unimaginable.”

"Son of a son of a bitch, why did Wang Chengxiong Bing become a guard? If he was under Lao Tzu's command, he would have been wiped out a long time ago!"

Zu Keyong cursed, shaking his head like a rattle. For him, this matter is too difficult. It is no problem for him to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy and command the soldiers to charge. This kind of brainstorming is his shortcoming. .

"It's really urgent..." Zhang Shouye, the official pusher, stroked his beard in his hands, pacing back and forth, thinking about this matter.

After a while, Zhang Shouye said: "I also feel that the four gate guards must be replaced. Wang Cheng is a corrupt official, and most of the people he cultivated are corrupt people, so it is embarrassing to use. One, and use strict orders to increase the rewards of the sworn masters, those old, weak, sick and disabled soldiers are probably already intimidated by Mr. Lin, so it may not be impossible to change generals at this time."

Lin Yi said: "It is inevitable to change the general. The matter is urgent and we must make a decisive decision. Lin is a newcomer with little talent and learning. I hope all the adults can recommend some suitable candidates."

Three cobblers are worth one Zhuge Liang.As soon as these civil and military officials discussed, the four guards quickly had a candidate.

If the Tartars are coming, Ximen must be the first to bear the brunt, so the West Gate is very important.It was unanimously suggested that Lin Yi asked Zhang Shouye to personally lead someone to guard the west gate, and Zhang Shouye did not refuse.

Among the 18 people that Lin Yi and the others came, 12 can now directly participate in the battle. Among these 12 people, there is a general banner leader Zhao Tingshou, and two small banner leaders are Yang Fang and Zhao Sheng, both of whom belonged to Zu Keyong of the Ningyuan Army. In the old department, the survivors who can follow Zu Keyong and Lin Yi to the present are definitely the elite of the elite.

After Zu Keyong's recommendation, Lin Yi immediately entrusted him with a heavy task, and ordered the three banner chiefs to guard the south gate, east gate and north gate respectively. Lin Yi held a meeting with the new four gate guards. Needless to say, I have been an official for many years and have rich experience, mainly the three banner leaders, who have just taken on important responsibilities and have no confidant soldiers. Lin Yi told them to be extremely cautious, discern the details, set an example, and never take it lightly, otherwise their lives will be lost. A small matter, losing the city, harming the people, and unforgivable crimes are major matters.

Four will then take over immediately.

Sure enough, the handover of the four chief generals went surprisingly smoothly without encountering any resistance, but the four of them did not dare to be careless at all, and immediately set about finding out the basic situation of the subordinate generals and cultivating their cronies.

Next, Lin Yi gave Xiaoying and Dongsheng a special task. They didn't have to worry about the battle at the top of the city. He arranged a few errands for him from the official office, and asked them to lead people to mobilize the common people to help defend the city. Some money, this should be called recruitment.

Xiaoying and Dongsheng lead the way...

Lin Yi led people up to the top of the city for the second time, and now the city is busy. Zhang Hua, Erhu, He Tao, and Wang Qi have returned to the city to hand in orders, and all the nearby people have withdrawn into the city, within ten miles. , All the things that could be taken were transported into the city, and all the rest were destroyed on the spot.

Lin Yi stood at the head of the west city, guarding the gate and accompanied by Zhang Shouye, the official of the city. In the distance, thousands of horses and horses were galloping, dust and dust filled the sky, and soldiers were approaching the city in the blink of an eye.

Lin Yi ordered the four gates to be closed, the suspension bridge to be raised, and the Qianjin gate to be lowered. Without his order, no one is allowed to open the city, and anyone who disobeys the order will be executed.The soldiers on the top of the city will be ready to fight, their swords drawn, and they will immediately enter a state of first-level combat readiness.

Amin led a large number of Tartars to burn, kill, and loot along the way. The first period of time was very nourishing, killing, setting fire, robbing, and raping.

But in the end, especially within ten miles from the city, not a single bird feather was left for him.

But Amin was happy when he saw Yongping City. For him, Yongping can be said to be a revisit of the old place, and he has a special feeling in his heart.

Because he fell in love with this place five years ago, and after he and Azig took the city, they lived in it for a while, feeling good about themselves. If Huang Taiji hadn't insisted on sending him back, he would really like to Separatist here and become the overlord of one side.

Now, Amin has made up his mind.After taking Yongping, he vowed never to go back.The thousands of soldiers brought here were all elites from Xianglanqi and Xianghongqi. After Yue Tuo's illness was cured, the two of them took this as their home and took root in Yongping and never left.There are elite soldiers, fortified cities, mountains and rivers, and simple folk customs, which are much better than those barbaric places outside the pass.

What's more, it saves me from going back to see Huang Taiji's perfectly prepared face!
The Tazi soldiers rushed to the bank of the moat in the blink of an eye.

The moat is wide, the city gate is closed, the suspension bridge hangs high, and the city wall shines with bronze light in the evening, giving people a heavy feeling.

However, the army on the top of the city is sparse and sparse, and the flags of the Ming army and various general flags fluttering high give a look of ruin and decadence.

After reading it, Amin's big fleshy face showed contempt and pride. He pointed his horsewhip in the air and yelled to the top of the city across the moat: "It's hard to get on the top of the city, open the city quickly. Otherwise, if Benbaile enters the city, no chicken or dog will be left behind!"

"Ben Baylor came here five years ago, and you still can't hold on now. Don't try to resist. Have you heard of my reputation, Amin?"...

His words were amplified by the Tazi army generals under him, and the sound shook the sky.

He yelled several times, but there was no movement on the top of the city.

Of course Amin didn't know that when he was flaunting his power and clamoring under the city wall, Lin Yi was also standing on the crenel on the top of the city at this time. Passed a three-eyed gun.

As a special soldier, he is a master at playing with firearms, such as long guns and short guns, big guns and small guns, the speed of disassembly and assembly can be calculated in seconds, and his shooting results are also perfect, such as military stabbing with daggers, all kinds of bombs, planes, tanks, ships, rockets, parachutes , Diving, it can be said that water, land and air are omnipotent.

But now how to hold and look at this three-eyed firecracker is awkward, does this old antique work?Firearms of the Ming Dynasty!

Lin Yi slandered, and his jerky behavior surprised the people around him. Zhang Hua, He Tao, Er Hu, Wang Qi and others were considered old comrades-in-arms with Lin Yi, and secretly said: "Master Lin still plays with this thing? But I've never been in contact with…”

Especially the firearms soldier next to him, after he gave the gun to Ji Dong, seeing how unfamiliar Ji Dong was, he was puzzled. Since the adults don't know how to fire a gun, why do they have to do it for them?He hurriedly explained to you how to use the three-eyed gun.

Ji Dong listened without saying a word, and put the gun on the crenel, like a [-] big cover, he began to aim...

At this time, Amin outside the city called him several times, but no one paid any attention to him, neither opened the city nor spoke to him, and there was no movement.

Amin became angry, and rode his horse to the bank of the moat, bent his bow and set an arrow, and with a whoosh sound, a sharp arrow pierced through the air. After flying more than 100 meters, it hit the top of the city. A veteran of the Ming army couldn't dodge it in time. With a scream, he fell into a pool of blood.

"Siege!" Amin shouted.

But before he could finish his shout, there was a crisp sound from the top of the wall. After a puff of white smoke passed, Amin felt his head go cold, and bright red blood came down...
