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

Chapter 58

But Ji Dong was so angry!

Ji Dong hated people who bullied the common people the most. This was the case before time travel, and it was still the case when he returned to Daming hundreds of years ago. This is because Ji Dong was a soldier in his previous life and this life.

The duty of a soldier is to fight to defend his homeland, to defend his home and country, and he is responsible for guarding the land.To put it bluntly, it is to protect the people, not to bully them.

But now Zhang Hua, as Lin Yi's soldier, dared to harm the people, Lin Yi could only do it with military law.

Lin Yi wanted to chop off Zhang Hua's head, but he didn't do it immediately. The time limit was that Chief Wang Bao invited Lao Zhang and his daughter-in-law Xiaohong, who were twenty miles away, to the spot, and Lin Yi wanted to end the matter in front of them. The folks and the parties have an explanation.

Lin Yi really wanted to kill Zhang Hua, He Tao, Er Hu, Wang Qi, and Dong Sheng. Even though he usually hated this guy, when he really wanted to say goodbye, he couldn't let it go.

This kid Zhang Hua has a lot of problems, but he is not useless. They think that this kid deserves to die, so the four of them bravely came to Lin Yi to intercede.

It is still a violation of heaven to commit evil, but human beings cannot live.Ji Dong is not allowed.

The four of them were a little bit reconciled, you know Ji Dong's temper, no one dared to say more, so they had to come to Wang Jian to find a solution.

Wang Jian is upright and honest by nature. Although he is also very ruthless to Zhang Hua, he also has a kind of attachment to Zhang Hua that he can't let go of.After all, Zhang Hua, like Lin Yi, He Tao, Wang Qi and others, is his general. For so many years, they ate, lived and fought together, killed Tartars and thieves together, and went through life and death.

Humans are social animals with feelings, and when they are parting from each other, they will naturally linger on this friendship.

Therefore, Wang Jian also wanted to intercede with Lin Yi, but after thinking about it for a long time, he said with embarrassment: "It's not that I, Wang Jian, are ruthless and unjust, but that Mr. Lin enforces the law like a mountain and is stern and selfless. I'm afraid it's useless to ask."

After hearing Wang Jian's words, the four of them looked indifferent.

"Should we just watch this guy lose his head?"

"In addition to being lustful, this kid has many advantages. He has extraordinary skills. He has made a lot of contributions to killing the Tartars. Moreover, he is brave and resourceful. He pretends to be a man at critical moments. If it weren't for that time, we would all be embarrassed."

Wang Jian's eyes suddenly lit up, "It's all right, Zhang Hua doesn't have to die, there is someone who can save him."

"Who?" The four of them agreed at the same time, their eyes shining with hope.

"It's sister Xiaoying."

"No, no, no," Erhu shook his head like a rattle, "Sister Xiaoying hates Zhang Hua the most. I heard that Zhang Hua even had her idea. How could sister Xiaoying save him?"

Wang Jiandao: "That was in the past. Have you forgotten that in the wild, when we encountered the Tartars, the enemy was strong and we were weak? At the critical moment, Master Lin was alone, and we were trapped by several times the Tartars." On Xiaoqiupo, exhausted and about to annihilate the entire army, it was Zhang Hua who suddenly pretended to rebel, kidnapped Xiaoying, paralyzed the Tartars, and bought time. We were all saved, including Xiaoying. Since then, Miss Xiaoying's attitude towards Zhang Hua has changed, and she regards him as a benefactor. Miss Xiaoying is kind and will repay him with gratitude. She will definitely save him, and only Miss Xiaoying can save him."

Everyone who Wang Jian spoke nodded repeatedly, and rushed to find Xiaoying.

Xiaoying was angry under a tree, of course she also knew about Zhang Hua, she felt resentful in her heart, Zhang Hua's traitorous nature did not change, he deserved to die!

But the scene of Zhang Hua holding her hostage has been lingering in her mind.Even though this scoundrel deserves to die, she is her own savior, and she should repay the favor of a drop of water. Lin Yi once said this to her.

Now that he was about to lose his head, wouldn't he be indifferent?
After thinking about it, Xiaoying felt that she should ask Brother Lin.

But when she saw Ji Dong's resolute face, she hesitated again. Big brother Lin is now the backbone of these 300 people, and anyone in this position would do the same. The military law is ruthless, and everyone is equal before the military discipline , This is Brother Lin's consistent position.

Wouldn't it be embarrassing for Brother Lin to beg him like this?
Thinking of this, Xiaoying went back again.

But when she thought that Zhang Hua was about to be beheaded, she still couldn't feel at ease, and a sense of guilt came to her heart again.

At this moment, Wang Jian brought Erhu, He Tao, Wang Qi, and Dong Sheng to look for her.

Xiaoying said: "This annoying guy, he is really lucky to meet a few big brothers."

Wang Jian corrected her: "It should be said that he has a good sister like you, which is the blessing that this kid has cultivated in several lifetimes!"

"Okay!" Xiaoying gritted her teeth tightly and made up her final decision.

Xiaoying bit the bullet and came to see Ji Dong, her two grape-like eyes stared affectionately at Ji Dong's resolute and tangible face.

Lin Yi smiled, "This kid Zhang Hua is not small, even you have come to intercede for him?"

"Brother Lin, I..." Xiaoying's face was flushed, and her pink stalk drooped slightly, "I'm sorry, Brother Lin, Xiaoying really shouldn't... But Zhang Hua saved my life, that time on Xiaoqiupo, if it wasn't for him They hijacked me at the critical moment and deceived the Tartars, and Xiaoying has long since fallen into the hands of the Tartars..."

"Stop talking, I know what to do..." Lin Yi interrupted him.

Xiaoying said excitedly: "Thank you Brother Lin, this is the first and last time, Xiaoying will never make things difficult for Brother Lin again."

Ji Dong looked at her with a smile and nodded, what a kind girl!

With Xiaoying, Wang Jian, He Tao, Wang Qi, Er Hu, Dong Sheng and others were also called over, and Lin Yi and others appeared in front of the bound Zhang Hua.

Zhang Hua was trapped on a tree with a dejected look on his face.

Ji Dong circled him twice with his hands behind his back, brewed his emotions and said: "Zhang Hua, I, Ji Yi, did not expect that there would be so many people begging for you. It should be said that in my impression, you are not a Good man, you should admit that."

Zhang Hua nodded with tears in his eyes, "My lord, I should have died a long time ago. I have nothing to say. I just want my lord to give me a good time."

Wang Jiandao: "You deserve to die. You committed crimes knowingly. Master Lin has repeatedly enforced military discipline. You are not allowed to disturb the people, you are not allowed to kill, and you are not allowed to commit adultery. You dare to defy the law with your own body. You really deserve to die."

"My lord Wang said that I, Zhang Hua, regret it too late, but it's too late to say anything, and I can only repay you in the next life."

Lin Yi nodded to him, "You can be regarded as a man. They don't want you to die. You have made meritorious deeds, and you will remember them all. You also saved Xiaoying's life. Xiaoying begged me to forgive you. You, including me, Lin Yi, don't want your life. You still remember, when we first went to the Sanchakou Guardhouse, you and Gao Yong conspired to kill me. That time I spared you, and then I Ji Dong has spared you more than once. But today I can’t spare you again, because you violated the law of death. If you don’t kill your soldiers, your generals will not be complete. I, Lin Yi, will never bring a soldier who harms the people. Dare to do it You have to be brave, after a few years, you will still be a good man, and we will be here to help you, if you have anything to say, or any request, just say it, and we will try our best to meet it."

When Lin Yi said these words, Xiaoying, Wang Jian and others were very surprised. They thought that Lin Yi had changed his mind and gave Xiaoying face, but they didn't expect that Zhang Hua would still have to die.

They wanted to say something, but when they saw Ji Dong with a firm face like iron, they all swallowed their words back.Secretly thought, Zhang Hua is doomed this time, Mr. Lin is stern and selfless, law enforcement is like a mountain, and he doesn't even give Miss Xiaoying face, so it's useless for me to say more.

"Master Lin, I really have nothing to say. I, Zhang Hua, am convinced that I can die under your knife. If there is an afterlife, I, Zhang Hua, will still hang out with you."

Lin Yi turned around, "Wang Baochang, where are Lao Zhang and Xiao Hong?"

Chief Wang Bao didn't expect this to happen. He was here to thank Lin Yi, but objectively it turned out that he was here to sue Lin Yi for Zhang Hua's complaint, and his thanks turned into supervision or beheading. .

Especially Wang Baochang now knows that Zhang Hua is one of Lin Yi's confidantes, killing Zhang Hua will undoubtedly kill Ma Su with tears, Wang Baochang's face is getting more and more ugly.This is not thanking Mr. Lin, this is clearly revenge for kindness!

Hearing Lin Yi's question, Chief Wang Bao hurriedly responded: "Master Lin, he should be on his way... But Mr. Lin, do you know what to say or not, my little old man?"

"Old man, if you have something to say, please speak face to face."

"My lord, it is often said that Taoists are not sages, and no one can do anything wrong. Strong man Zhang Hua already knows his mistakes. Even if he is killed, it will not help the matter. It is better to keep him and let him kill a few more Tartars with your lord. He will make up for his mistakes, take the blame and make meritorious deeds, I don't know what will your lord think?"

"There is some truth in what the old man said, but if an army does not have iron discipline, let alone killing the Tartars, it can do nothing. At most, it is a group of mobs. Moreover, Zhang Hua committed the capital crime of bullying the common people. If he is not severely punished, he will be punished in the future." , How should I convince the public? Zhang Hua will also be grateful to you if Lin Yi has won the heart of the old man. Let this matter stop here, and I, Lin Yi, will definitely give everyone an explanation for this matter."

Although Wang Baochang was humiliated, he didn't feel uncomfortable at all. Instead, he respected Lin Yi...

After Wang Jian and the others left, Lao Zhang and Xiao Hong felt like this. These days bandits are soldiers, and soldiers are bandits. How can ordinary people talk?This kind of thing happens as soon as it happens, what can you do?
They even came to the door to make amends, and the face was already given to the sky, no need to ask, this must be instigated by Mr. Lin.It seems that what Bao Zhang said is right, Mr. Lin is really a rare good official.

Both the father-in-law and daughter-in-law felt much better. They thought that this was the end of the matter.But soon, the chief security officer sent someone to pick them up, saying that Master Lin was going to chop off Zhang Hua's head in front of both of them.

The two of them were taken aback, they didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse, but they dared not not to come, the two of them discussed along the way...

Near noon, Lao Zhang and his daughter-in-law came to Lin Yi and the others.Lin Yi saw that it was time for execution, so he asked Zhang Hua again, asking him to stay in his last words and explaining what happened next, and the machete was raised.

"Don't kill, keep people under the knife!" Lao Zhang and his daughter-in-law separated from the crowd, and both knelt down in front of Lin Yi.

Lin Yi was startled, he never expected that the two of them could come to intercede: "Old man, what are you doing, get up quickly, why, is someone threatening you?"

Old Zhang said tremblingly: "My lord, there is nothing wrong with us. It is completely voluntary. You are a good official. Don't kill your own people when the enemy is at hand. Let him kill a few more Tartars, little old man." ,I beg you……"

As he spoke, the old man kowtowed to Lin Yi.

Ji Dong was very moved: "Zhang Hua, you saw and heard it, you're a shitty boy, and you met such a kind person."

Zhang Hua was already in tears and couldn't make a sound. After Lin Yi ordered someone to untie him, Zhang Hua's legs softened and he knelt down...

Ji Dong didn't expect such an episode to happen, but it's okay, I believe that no one would dare to commit crimes again. After seeing off the villagers, the more than 300 people continued on their way. ...

The area in the northwest of the capital of Ming Dynasty, the east of Xuanhua, and the large area south of Miyun, more than a dozen counties, all became the sphere of influence of the Tartars.

The Tatars' coach, Azig, and the military supervisor, Abatai, set up their headquarters in the Changping area. One hundred thousand Tartars surrounded the capital of the Ming Dynasty in a half-encircled state.

But they are not in a hurry to attack Beijing, but have other plans...
