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

Chapter 86
Lu Xiangsheng suddenly turned his face, and loudly reprimanded Lin Yi for killing Zu Kuan.

Ji Dong was taken aback for a moment, "My lord?"

"Zu Kuanna is the deputy general of Shanhaiguan. He was a military officer of the second rank in the Ming Dynasty. He was hand-picked by the emperor. The governor has no right to arbitrarily judge him. No matter how serious Zu Kuan's crimes are, he should be punished by the yamen. At best, you A little guerrilla general, why did he decide to kill Zu Kuan and Li Mingfu arbitrarily without asking for his order, can you be convicted?"

Lin Yi is in his 20s, full of vigor, full of personality, and has a good temper.Hearing this, I felt a little angry in my heart.

Zu Kuan and Li Mingfu worked hand in hand, committed an unpardonable crime, and deserved death.I, Lin Yi, planned to kill him. That was to eradicate traitors for the country and eliminate harm for the people. Why not?It is unbelievable that the Governor-General not only did not praise but said such words.

Oh, after making a fuss for a long time, the governor still thinks that Lin Yi is a petty official, and he still protects Zu Kuan. No wonder Zu Kuan and the others are arrogant and domineering, poisoning the people. It turns out that there is such a governor's superiors.

"My lord, Lin Yi wiped out traitors for the country and harm for the people. He dare not claim credit, but he doesn't know what crime he has committed." Lin Yi argued hard.

Lu Xiangsheng narrowed his eyes and raised his voice, "How dare you be stubborn? You are suspected of avenging your own personal revenge by killing Zu Kuan and Li Mingfu, and you are in danger of committing crimes against your superiors. The emperor blames it, and even the governor can't afford it. You You said you were not guilty?"

Ji Dong finally understood. After a long time of trouble, Lu Xiangsheng was afraid of being implicated in this matter. No wonder he said that he did not die on the battlefield, but was about to die in Xishi.He, Lu Xiangsheng, is still Lu Xiangsheng after all!

Lin Yi said with emotion: "My lord, the killing of Zu Kuan and Li Mingfu was done by Lin Yi alone, and has nothing to do with your lord. If the court blames it, Lin Yi will bear it."

Lu Xiangsheng's anger still persisted: "You bear it, to put it lightly, what responsibility do you, a small guerrilla general, have to bear? Lin Yi, you are too frivolous, and your contributions are not small, but sometimes the merits and demerits cannot be offset. Ordinarily, the governor should behead you to show the public, thinking of your repeated military exploits, the governor will not pursue it any further, but he can't keep you anymore, he will push your official position to the end and drive you out of the army, let's go!"

After Lu Xiangsheng finished speaking, he turned around and ignored Ji Dong, which was tantamount to expelling Ji Dong from the military.

Ji Dong's heart became very angry. If Lu Xiangsheng was not admiring him as a passionate hero, Lin Yi would have exploded long ago.

You don't want me, I'm too lazy to serve you!What great things can you foolish loyalists of the imperial court accomplish?Just wait to be buried with that Emperor Chongzhen.Just leave, I have long wanted to do it alone!

Thinking of this, Lin Yi left Lu Xiangsheng's tent angrily.

The generals outside looked at Ji Dong, their expression was wrong.It was fine just now, why did it become like this after meeting the governor?
"Brother Lin, what's the matter with you?"

"My lord, what's the matter?"

Xiaoying came over, and He Tao, Erhu, Wang Qi, Dong Sheng, Gan Bao, and Jiang Xingyuan also surrounded them.

"I'm leaving, you can take care of yourself." Lin Yi was so angry that his face turned pale and red, and after leaving these few words, he turned around and left without paying attention to anyone.

Xiaoying and the others looked at each other, and by asking the military medical officer and Lu Xiangsheng's personal soldiers, they soon found out what was going on.

"Lord Lin is not guilty! From the Qianxi battlefield to the battle of Zunhua, Lord Lin has made great contributions. If there is no credit, he is guilty. The governor is disrespectful, and the court is not clear!"

These people also quit, yelling one after another, and left Lu Xiangsheng's tent with Ji Dong.

Lin Yi saw that not only Xiaoying was following, but also He Tao, Wang Qi, Erhu, Dongsheng, Gan Bao, Jiang Xingyuan, and there were a lot of people behind him, his bodyguards all came.

Ji Dong stopped, "Everyone, Lin Yi is a guilty person. Don't be arrogant and ruin your future. Go back."

"What future? I will go wherever you go!" Xiaoying said.

"Yes, we will go wherever Master Lin goes." Everyone responded.

"You are a mutiny, you are a rebellion, if the higher-ups blame you, you will lose your head." Lin Yi wanted to persuade them back.

"It doesn't matter. Mr. Lin has made such a great contribution, but he is guilty. If we stay here, we will either die in vain or be killed by a traitor. This kind of soldier is not worth it!"

"That's right, we'll be with Lord Dinglin..."

Ji Dong was very moved. In this troubled world, it is really rare that so many people are willing to follow him with their heads tucked into their waistbands.

"Okay, thank you all for not giving up, then we will do it ourselves and kill the Tartars instead of occupying the mountain as king and becoming a bandit. Military discipline remains the same as before."

The 200 people all agreed in unison: "We will follow Master Lin's order, but Master Lin will follow the lead! We will go through fire and water, and we will not hesitate!"

Just as Ji Dong was about to leave with these people, two horses came quickly.

"My lord, wait a moment, Mr. Lin, please stop." It was Wang Jian and Zhang Hua.

"what's up?"

"My lord, the incident was too sudden. Your lord governor must have a reason for the incident. Your lord, please don't act rashly." Wang Jian said.

"That's right, my lord. Governor Lu is very good at running the army. He loves soldiers like his own son. The subordinates have been with him for the past few days. They are by no means unreasonable. There must be other secrets behind today's incident. Please think again, my lord. .”

"Think twice," Er Hu took over the words, "Do you want Mr. Lin to stay and suffer from it? If you want to hang out here, no one will stop you, don't drag others behind you!"

"Yes, go if you want to go, stay if you want to stay, no one will delay your future." Gan Bao and Jiang Xingyuan looked at Wang Jian and Zhang Hua with disdain.

"I said you are all fucking dumbfounded! I, Zhang Hua, am not a good person in your eyes anyway. Is Lao Tzu that kind of snobbish villain? As long as Lin Yiren insists on leaving, Zhang Hua will definitely follow, even if he goes to the end of the world. Repent!"

"Forget it, forget it, go as you go, is it disgusting or not!" Erhu looked contemptuous.

"You fucking say one more thing?" Zhang Hua said as he wanted to draw the knife.

"I'm still afraid that you won't succeed?" Erhu didn't give in, and raised his spear.

"Shut up both of you, do you still have Master Lin in your eyes!" Wang Jian was their old flag leader, and this sound really worked, and the two fell silent.

Wang Jian said to Lin Yi: "Your Excellency suffered unfair injustice, and made such a great contribution, but he was often blamed. To be honest, I, Wang Jian, also complained for Your Excellency. I also planned to pack up my things and follow your adult. At this time, Zhang Hua came to me. , I expressed my opinion, I calmed down, and when I thought it made sense, I bravely went to see the governor. On the way, we saw that the more than 1000 Guan Ning cavalry were also panicked. When they arrived at the tent gate, they accidentally Hearing that the governor was speaking, and mentioned the death of Lu Ming and the fact that Dongchang Tiqi was coming to arrest him, we felt that there must be something hidden in it, so we came to see the lord."

Ji Dong suddenly realized, with a look of shame on his face.

"Let's all go back. Brother Wang Jian and Zhang Hua are right. This is the master's aggressive method. I, Lin Yi, are really confused. Let's go back to the camp and apologize to the master." Lin Yi turned his horse and left after speaking.

Just as Ji Dong and the others turned their horses around, someone shouted, "Look, my lord."

When Lin Yi and the others turned their heads, dust billowed in the distance, banners covered the sky, and countless troops came.

Ji Dong and the others immediately picked up their knives and guns and prepared to fight, thinking it was the Tartars.Taking a closer look, they are all the banners of the Ming army, and the clothes of these soldiers can be seen clearly, they are all the Ming army.

The general flags of various colors are not very clear, they are red and green, fluttering in the wind.

A cavalry team in front rushed over, several team officers held whips in their hands, pointed at Lin Yi and others and shouted from afar.

"Which team are you guys from? What do you do?"

Wang Jian stepped forward and said, "We are the garrison of Zunhua. We are ordered by your lord to patrol the city. May I ask where your lord is from?"

The officer turned his lips away, "We are the troops of the Lord Supervisor, and the Lord Supervisor is behind. Not only the Lord Supervisor is here, but the Dongge University scholar, the right servant of the Ministry of War and the censor of the right capital, and the governor Zun Sir Yang Sichang from Hua, Yongping, and Shanhaiguan is also here, and if you don’t hurry to dodge and bump into the heads of two gentlemen, can you afford it?”

"My lord said that a villain has eyes but doesn't know Mount Tai. If there are many offenses, I will avoid them." Wang Jian was also startled, nodded and bowed, and hurried to see Lin Yi.

Lin Yi could hear clearly, Gao Qiqian, Yang Sichang, of course Lin Yi was no stranger to these two names, one was a great eunuch with great power, and the other was a cabinet minister and an important member of the Ministry of War.

Whether it was his understanding of history before time travel, or his current understanding through Governor Lu Xiangsheng and others, Lin Yi unanimously realized that these two people are not good birds!
Needless to say Gao Qiqian, a heavyweight in the eunuch party in the late Ming Dynasty, when he mentioned eunuchs, Ji Dong didn't have a good impression.

It’s not that eunuchs are all bad guys. After all, there have been a few eunuchs in history, such as Cai Lun in the Eastern Han Dynasty who invented paper to benefit mankind, Zheng He who opened the age of China’s great voyages, Feng Bao and Zhang Juzheng. The father-level figure, together with the Queen Mother Li, was called the troika of the Wanli period.

But the vast majority of eunuchs are synonymous with selfishness, treachery, greed, hypocrisy and insidiousness, and this Gao Qiqian is no exception.

There is also Yang Sichang, if Lin Yi remembers correctly, he will soon be promoted to Minister of the Ministry of War and Chief Assistant of the Cabinet. These are all figures that Emperor Chongzhen relied heavily on.

Facing the invasion of foreign forces, they advocate peace talks, but internally they advocate bloody suppression.According to historical records, Yang Sichang was about to raise the butcher's knife, and under his planning, Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, Luo Rucai, these macho figures in the late Ming Dynasty all suffered a great loss.Especially Li Zicheng, almost the whole army was wiped out in the first battle of Tongguan and Nanyuan. Even Li Zicheng was counted with only 18 cavalry left and fled back to Shangluo Mountain.

In other words, Gao Qiqian and Yang Sichang are two surrender factions, and they are definitely different from Lu Xiangsheng, the representative of the main combat faction.

Ji Yi saw the two guys coming, and then contacted the undercover agent of the factory guard, Lu Mingzhi, to understand the good intentions of Lu Xiangsheng's sudden turnaround at this time. Master Lu was using this method to save him and drive him away. The factory guard and Tiqi came to fetch the man, so Lin Yi had nothing to do with him, and Lu Xiangsheng carried it alone.

Ji Dong felt a little guilty for blaming Mr. Lu wrongly. It seemed that he was still young, and sometimes he was prone to recklessness.

Gao Qiqian and Yang Sichang came to Zunhua, it must be bad for Mr. Lu, since this is the case, I can't leave!

Thinking of this, Ji Dong took his 200 guards and made a detour back to Zunhua City...
