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

Chapter 65
From the general of the army to the guerrilla general, for the current Lin Yi, it is undoubtedly a step up to the sky.

But the official positions in the Ming Dynasty were also very strict. Not to mention a guerrilla general, even a hundred generals in the army, and a hundred households in the guard, all need to be appointed by the court, at least with the procedures of the Ministry of War. , nor can you designate people as officials as you like.

This time, Zu Keyong also made great contributions.One is that he sent letters in a timely manner through long-distance raids, which greatly reduced the casualties of the Ming army.Second, he charged and broke through with Lu Xiangsheng and killed many Tartars. Lu Xiangsheng praised him on the spot and let him return to his post as a guerrilla general. He also rewarded him with 200 taels of silver.

Zu Keyong said: "My lord, I will accept the reward as long as I am here, and forget about the promotion. This time it is all thanks to Master Lin. I, Zu Keyong, have worked hard at most. I don't care if you are guerrilla or not, as long as you can be with Master Lin." We can do it together, and I am willing to be his soldier for the rest of my life." Everyone laughed.

At this time, the number of casualties came out. The Ming army suffered heavy casualties in the early stage of this battle, gradually stabilized the situation, and then turned defeat into victory. The 1 Ming army will suffer more than 3000 casualties.

But this was a victory. After more than two hours of fierce fighting, at least 7000 Tartars were wiped out. The trophies obtained were knives, spears and firearms. Several cannons and ammunition.

In this battle, the more than 300 people of Ji Dong also suffered dozens of casualties.The remaining 260 people, after consulting Lu Xiangsheng, all formed their own guards.

Other meritorious soldiers will be rewarded according to the military merit book.

Back in their camp, Zhang Hua, Er Hu, He Tao, Wang Qi and others took turns to guard outside.

Xiaoying set up a simple banquet, prepared two or four dishes, and a jug of wine to celebrate Lin Yi's success and congratulate him on his promotion.

The two sat and drank, and Lin Yi teased her with a smile: "Tomorrow these guys will pester me again, and the 200 taels of silver do not belong to me. Guerrilla General, the Ministry of War's approval has not yet come down, so I have to get the Governor's order." A pair of armor, and I plan to give it to you, I have nothing, what is there to celebrate?"

Xiaoying sneered: "Brother Lin, it's cheating to say so. 200 taels of silver will be given to the brothers. The brothers are all grateful for your kindness. It's your favor. I will work hard for you at critical moments. How many lives did you buy? You gave me the armor, but I can’t wear it, so it’s still yours. Although the guerrilla general has not been approved by the Ministry of War, an official as big as Mr. Lu has announced in public that he will promote a guerrilla Isn’t the general an easy task for him, are you afraid that Mr. Lu will renege on his debt?”

"As long as you are clever, Mr. Lu will certainly not renege on his debts, but it is hard to say about the Ministry of War. The Ming court is corrupt, precarious, riddled with holes, internal and external troubles, and it doesn't matter whether this official is a proper one." Lin Yi said to the end of the Ming Dynasty. The officer was indeed not interested. He was a soldier in his previous life, and he was a soldier again after time travel. He was just doing his duty as a soldier. Today, after two glasses of wine, he felt a little bit emotional, and drank it all in one gulp.

Xiaoying was stunned, and bought him a full load, staring at him with two big grape-like eyes and laughing: "Brother Lin can't see it, he is still a true god who does not eat fireworks in the world, never before, since he is so careless , then when Lord Lu promoted you today, you were both terrified and flattered, thank you, why is that?"

"You are so stupid, if the adults love me so much, if Lin Yi remains indifferent, wouldn't that mean he doesn't know what to do?"

When Lin Yi said this, he suddenly grabbed Xiao Yinglou in his arms.

The movement was a bit sudden, Xiao Ying called out, and her breathing immediately became rapid, thinking that Big Brother Lin wanted her tonight, but in fact, she was always ready to serve her Big Brother Lin.

It was just a little sudden today, the two sides were drinking together, without any warning, Ji Dong started, and it was a little rough, when men want women, they are probably so eager.

Xiaoying, who has just begun to fall in love, has a budding feeling about the relationship between men and women.

Xiaoying obediently let Lin Yi hug her, feeling Lin Yi's strong masculine breath, her face blushed, her blood accelerated, and the deer in her heart was about to burst out. Although she knew that there would be such a day sooner or later, but when this day came , her reaction was still very strong.

"Shut up, there are thieves behind the tent!" Lin Yi whispered in her ear.

Xiaoying twisted her body for a while, only then realized that Ji Dong's reaction turned out to be drunkenness, she was also taken aback, glanced back from the corner of her eyes, and there was indeed a figure behind the tent.

Xiaoying's heart skipped a beat, could it be the Tartar spies?I didn't find out at all.

"What should I do?" Xiaoying tried her best to adjust her mentality, slow down her heartbeat, and whispered in Lin Yi's ear with her panting breath.

"You pretend to go out to fetch water and let Zhang Hua and the others catch him alive."

"Brother Lin, wait a minute, wait for Xiaoying to take a bath, and then wait for Brother Lin..." Xiaoying said deliberately, she got out of Lin Yi's arms, and walked towards the door of the tent with her waist twisted.

Ji Dong pretended nothing happened, sat back on the table, ate two mouthfuls of food indiscriminately, and took another sip of wine.

Xiaoying went outside the tent, called Zhang Hua and Er Hu to the front, and explained a few words in a low voice, the two were startled, Zhang Hua gently pulled out the waist knife, Er Hu was ready for the bow and arrow, the two of them Left and right to touch behind the tent.

Fearing that the two of them would be lost, Xiaoying hurried to find someone, intending to block the thief's way out.

Zhang Hua turned to the back of the tent, and saw a black figure, covered in light gauze, and dressed in black.

Zhang Hua didn't speak, a hungry tiger rushed for food, jumped out suddenly, and slashed at the shadow.

Soi Ying was extremely vigilant and nimble. Facing the sudden attack, he ducked down and dodged the knife.

Then he turned his head and ran, running like flying. In the darkness, Erhu shot an arrow, and the shadow turned his head. Erhu's arrow missed, and the two started chasing the thief from behind.

But the thief moved very fast, and suddenly Xiaoying led several people with knives, guns and torches to block the way of the shadow.

"You can't run away!"

The black shadow could only turn around and run in another direction, but before he ran far, the black shadow stopped, because there was another black shadow standing in front of him. Steel knife, steady and steady.

"Bold thief, why don't you just catch him?" It was Lin Yi who spoke.

At this moment, the cry of catching the thief sounded from behind.

Heiying already had a sharp blade in his hand, soaring into the air, he stabbed Ji Dong with a knife. Lin Yi dodged to the side, and was about to make a move, but he didn't know that Heiying took the road and fled.

Ji Dong immediately pulled out the dagger from his boot, and flung it out with a wave of his hand. The black shadow crooked and hid in the shadow of the tent.

Ji Dong jumped up and down three times and arrived in front of the tent.

"Who is it, stop!" The night patrol team came over, aiming their swords at Ji Dong.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm Ji Dong." Ji Dong replied quickly.

"Lord Lin, why did you come to the governor's big tent without taking a rest so late? He even used a knife and a gun..." the night watch team officer said.

It was only then that Lin Yi noticed that the big tent in front of him was the big tent of Governor Lu Xiangsheng, so he quickly put away his knife and saluted, explaining the whole story.

At this time Zhang Hua, Er Hu, He Tao, Wang Qi, Dong Sheng, Wang Jian, Xiao Ying and others also came over.

"There is such a thing?" The night patrol team officer was very surprised, and immediately sent an order to search carefully.

But near this tent, apart from a few drops of blood, is there any trace of the thief?
"What's the noise outside?" Lu Xiangsheng undressed and came outside the tent.Such tossing outside the big tent also alarmed him.

Lin Yi and the others quickly saluted, "My lord, just now my subordinate's tent has ears. I'm waiting to go out to catch the thief. I don't want the thief to come in this direction and disturb the lord. It's my crime."

When Lu Xiangsheng heard this, he didn't feel sleepy at all. He had just fought a battle in the wilderness during the day. This is a temporary camp, and a thief broke out?

Lu Xiangsheng immediately sent an order to search and arrest, and the whole camp was alarmed. After searching for a long time, they found nothing.Liu Zhongzhen, the commander-in-chief, and Luo Dai, the deputy commander-in-chief of the town, were also alarmed, and they brought people to pay their respects to your lord.

Seeing that the third watch had passed, Lu Xiangsheng didn't want to continue to escalate the incident, so he sent everyone away, ordered people to step up patrols, and returned to his account to continue to rest.

Lu Xiang ascended into his tent, without feeling sleepy at all, holding the lamp in his hand, thinking about it.

A figure flashed, and a person came in from the tent door, and when he looked up, it was his personal soldier Lu Ming.

Lu Ming's surname is not Lu, but a slave with the master's surname. He has served Lu Xiangsheng by Lu Xiangsheng's side for many years.

"You haven't rested yet?"

"Master, I heard that there was a thieves tonight, and I'm here to scare the master." Lu Ming said, and came over to pour tea.

Lu Xiangsheng discovered that Lu Ming usually poured tea with his right hand, but today he switched to his left hand.

"What happened to you?"

"My lord, when I was breaking out during the day, my arm was chopped off by a tartar. It's okay. It's a bit of a flesh wound, and it's been treated with medicine." Lu Ming poured the tea and handed it to Lu Xiangsheng with his left hand.

"It's fine, it's really an unexpected fierce battle. It's not far from Yuyang. These tartars actually ambushed the governor here. If it weren't for Ji Yi and the others, the consequences would be disastrous..." Lu Xiangsheng took the tea, thinking of the daytime The battle, not without emotion.

"What the master said is that Mr. Lin is young and promising, and he is indeed a talent. However, it is difficult to draw a dragon or a tiger. Knowing people and knowing the face, but not the heart, the master still needs to be careful."

"What do you mean? Just say it if you have something to say." Lu Xiangsheng just took a sip and felt that there was something in Lu Ming's words.

"My lord, please forgive the villain for talking too much. The villain is thinking, Mr. Lin is a man of culture and martial arts, he is not inferior to a general, and his military achievements are so outstanding, but he was born as a frontier soldier. These years are full of chaos. Tartars and thieves are all pervasive. , and even the factory guard of the imperial court, before the adults reuse him, it is better to pay more attention to him, so as to avoid accidents."

"You're right. Go back and rest early. It's already late at night, and Bendu is going to rest too."

"Yes, master. The villain will leave." Lu Ming left, Lu Xiangsheng turned on the lamp, and lay down on the bed with his clothes on, thinking about these things.

This was the first case of thieves in his military camp. In this wilderness, just after a big battle, the thieves should not be Tartars and rogues. Could it be that there were spies in the camp?

He remembered Lu Ming's words again, tartars, thieves, and factory guards are indeed a bit messy, and then thought of Ji Yi, and then shook his head. This person is righteous and jealous, and he is definitely not a treacherous person. Then who would the thief be? Well, according to Ji Dong and others, the thief is very skilled, and he is by no means an idler. Could it be an assassin who sneaked in? I really have to be careful in the future...

Lu Xiangsheng thought about it for a while. He was too tired from the march and battle during the day, and his mind fell into a deep sleep...

Lin Yi returned to his tent, Zhang Hua, He Tao, Wang Qi, Er Hu and others took turns to patrol outside and increased their manpower.

Xiaoying withdrew all the food and drinks, and sat and stared at Lin Yi.

"So many people still let him run away, brother Lin, who is the thief?"

"It's hard to say. It's so late, go to sleep."...
