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

Chapter 88 What is the crime?

"To deal with hooligans is to be more hooligan than hooligans. I will not be like Lu Xiangsheng who accepts everything and kills at the neck. Damn eunuch, traitor Yang, let's see who we deal with this time!"

Lin Yi already had a plan in mind, and after instructing Xiaoying and others, he sent Xiaoying, Dongsheng, Gan Bao, and Jiang Xingyuan away.

Then Lin Yi called Wang Jian and Zhang Hua over again, told them a few things, and the two went to action immediately.

Then Lin Yi brought 200 guards to Nancheng where Gao Qiqian and Yang Sichang were located.

The soldiers outside the south gate were heavily armored. After Gao Qiqian and Yang Sichang ordered people to call for the city, the suspension bridge was lowered, the city gate was opened wide, and the Qianjin gate was opened.But after waiting for a long time, there was no sign of Lu Xiangsheng.

Gao Qiqian and Yang Sichang became impatient, the two adults waited in the cold wind for a long time, in terms of official positions, they were all better than Lu Xiang, the emperor's favorite minister, let alone with the emperor's imperial decree, that is, an angel official, just like The emperor came in person, but this King Lu Yan just didn't show up for a long time, so he left them here.

Gao Qiqian and Yang Sichang were very displeased, they didn't even have the minimum class etiquette, asked the generals defending the city, and soon someone told them the reason why Lu Xiangsheng didn't come to greet them.

"Is it inconvenient to go out of the city to greet you because of an injury? This reason is sufficient, but it is also time for Lu Xiangsheng to be ill. He beat the Tartars away, and he became ill. When we came, he became ill. Didn't he even go to bed? I can’t even get down!” Gao Qi said with a strange tone of Qianyang accent.

"The two adults don't know something. The governor has been ill for a long time. After a bloody battle in Zunhua, he fought for several days and nights. Two general officers were killed one after another. There were only a hundred and ten soldiers left in the 5000 army. Your excellency killed 100 soldiers in one go. Many Tartars were shot with five arrows and eleven knives..."

"Okay! It's really tragic." A commander of the Ningyuan Army guarding the city gate was about to continue talking about Lin Yi's military exploits, when Gao Qiqian's big white face showed disdain, and he interrupted impatiently. he.

"Eunuch Gao, since Lu Jiandou is injured, let's go to the city by ourselves." Yang Sichang said helplessly.

Gao Qiqian said in a low voice: "My lord, we should bring more people into the city."

Yang Sichang understood what he meant, and felt that Gao Qi sneaked into the outside world, led so many troops, and sealed off the four gates. It is said that Lu Xiangsheng only had a thousand people in the city, and he was so cautious, at most he was a ghost who was afraid of death.

Yang Sichang was a Jinshi during the Wanli period. Since he entered the official career, he has held important positions in the Nanjing Imperial College, the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Household Affairs. Now that he has entered the cabinet, he knows Lu Xiangsheng quite well. He knows that Lu Xiangsheng is definitely a loyal person to the court. They With a large number of factory guards and bodyguards, as well as the emperor's decree, isn't that enough?How dare he, Lu Xiangsheng, go against the sky!

It's really superfluous to mobilize the teachers so much, but it's not easy to save the face of this eunuch Gao, so he agrees in a silent way.

The 1 soldiers of the Ming army followed them into the city, mainly from Miyun. Tang Tong, the general soldier of Miyun, had to follow of course. In addition, there were hundreds of factory guards, and more than 1000 guards from Yang Sichang.

In this way, more than 1 people marched into Zunhua from Nancheng.

These 1 people had just entered the city, when the city lord gave an order, the city gates were closed, the suspension bridge was pulled up, and the jack gate was lowered.

"Is there really a change in the city? Lu Yanwang really wants to rebel?" After Gao Qiqian and Yang Sichang got the report, they were also taken aback, and immediately stopped, and the team stopped.

The guard of the city will quickly come over to explain, the chief executive of the Guanning iron cavalry respectfully said: "Don't worry about it, you two adults. Recently, we have received reliable news that a large number of thieves have arrived in Qianxi Yongping and Zunhua. What is the name of their leader? Back in the old days, there is still a star in the sky, what lights are not on, the governor and Lord Lin have an order, because our military strength is limited, we must do a good job of city defense. This is the arrival of the two adults, otherwise we will not open the city easily, Everyone must pass the inspection. My lords, you just ask, please, please, the governor is waiting there."

For such an explanation, the two felt a little far-fetched, but they had to believe it.

Back in the old days, crossing the stars, the lights are not on, they are the nicknames of some thieves, their strength is not small, is it true that they have come here again?

Some time ago, they tossed fiercely in the south, led by Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai, and this old Huihui, etc., they captured Fengyang and burned the imperial tomb.The emperor was furious, and sent heavy troops to surround and suppress them. I heard that they went to Henan again, and they came to Beizhili so soon?As expected of a thief, he ran really fast.

Especially Yang Sichang thought a lot, he was full of ink, he could be regarded as the nemesis of thieves, his mind immediately became cranky.

"If this is the case, the governor of the cabinet, Zunhua, Yongping and Shanhaiguan really had work to do. But the Jingliu thieves made such a fuss, the court's military strength is too limited, the local officials fled, and the guards have already dispersed. , after arresting Lu Xiangsheng and Lin Yi, the bandits will have to rely on the tens of thousands of troops in front of them. These are all bandits. They are old-fashioned, and the lights are not on. It is said that any of them has tens of thousands of bandits, 3 How can there be enough horses? In the future, the emperor must send more troops."

The villain is always close.Gao Qiqian had a ghost in his heart, he knew that Lu Xiangsheng didn't care about him, the commander of soldiers and horses, at all, so he thought the worst.But when he saw that there were more than 1 people, Tang Tong, the commander in chief of Miyun, was brave and good at fighting, there were so many factory guards, Mr. Yang, and the imperial decree in his arms. Thinking about these, the eunuch became more courageous again.Lu Xiangsheng has more than 1000 people at most, why are he afraid of him?

So they continued to move forward with more than 5 people.

Suddenly a horse team drove over, and the more than 1 horses who were diving high stopped immediately to be vigilant.

Tang Tong, the general soldier of Miyun, held a broadsword and personally escorted the two adults to clear the way, and ordered the team to stop the approaching people.

Lin Yi took the two tigers Wang Qi and other 200 people, and stopped the horse nearby.

When Lin Yi saw the huge situation, he couldn't help but sneered in his heart: passing an imperial decree to arrest someone, and mobilizing so many people, it's not just for pomp, it shows that they are all afraid of death, and gather chicken feathers to make dusters.Can these people keep you safe?joke!

The general in front of the team shouted: "Whoever dares to bump into your lord's horse's head will be too tired!"

"Don't misunderstand me, Lin Yi, I came to greet you by the order of the governor. Because the governor is injured and sick, the special subordinates came to lead the way."

The generals saw that Ji Yi and the others were not armed. After reporting, Tang Tong waved his hand, which made the generals get out of the way.

Lin Yi dismounted and came to Gao Qiqian and Yang Sichang's horses, and bowed to salute.

"You are Lin Yi?" Gao Qiqian, Yang Sichang, Tang Tong and the others all stared at Lin Yi.

"So young, he doesn't even have a beard, and he looks quite talented, but he is still a young man in appearance. But why is he so famous? Why does one person kill a hundred bandits, retreat on foot, three battles and three victories, the battle of Yuyang, In the Battle of Yongping, the Battle of Qianxi, and the Battle of Zunhua, he stole the limelight, so shouldn't he spread rumors?" Gao Qiqian, Yang Sichang and others all had this mentality.

"It's Lin." Under the scrutiny of everyone, Lin Yi straightened his body and said solemnly.

Lin Yi didn't bow his head, knelt down twice, and didn't call himself a villain. He straightened up, his eyes were like lightning, and he looked at the dignity of these treacherous officials.

This is the first time Ji Dong has seen Gao Qiqian. He is bloated and not tall. He licks his chest and folds his belly. He has a special three-mountain cap on his head. His face, which is as white as a woman's buttocks, makes people uncomfortable. The key is that Lin Yi is not a good person at first glance. How could the Emperor Chongzhen favor him? He couldn't even eat when he saw him.

Yang Sichang is gentle, with a clear face, three long beards, a fiery red satin beast suit, and a black gauze with long wings and a dark round mouth. No one needs to introduce him. recognize it.

There are also these generals, although Ji Dong doesn't recognize them, he has seen them all over.

The feudal society was strictly hierarchical, and Lin Yi's outrageous behavior was a crime of disrespect to the superior. The subordinates would never dare to raise their heads indiscriminately when they saw their superiors. They would stand straight and look around.

"Just like Lu Xiangsheng, he is indeed a prick!" Gao Qiqian, Yang Sichang and the others immediately thought so.

"Bold Lin Yi, seeing Eunuch Gao and Master Yang standing upright and not kneeling, what should he do for being arrogant and disrespectful?" A general in iron armor and soap robes riding a green horse couldn't help shouting angrily at Lin Yi.

"May I ask who the general is?" Lin Yi's eyes were sharp, like swords.I said in my heart that I kneel on the ground, kneel on the ground and kneel on my parents, how can I kneel down to you treacherous villains?

"I am Tang Tong, the general soldier of Miyun." Tang Tong shook his head, and the red helmet fringe on his head also shook, as if falling with the wind in the wind, which was quite beautiful.

Lin Yi is no stranger to the history of the late Ming Dynasty. Before traveling, apart from textbooks, all kinds of film and television dramas and novels were flying all over the sky. After traveling through this troubled world, he became one with this body. After such a long time, he has heard a lot.

Naturally, he knew what this Tang Tong was doing. He had successively served as Xuanhua, Miyun General Soldier, a heavy soldier in hand, and a person who Chongzhen relied heavily on.But Ji Dong took it under the magnifying glass of history and looked at it, and immediately knew what changed this guy.

According to the original historical development, a few years later he surrendered first to Li Zicheng and then to Dorgon. He was almost certain to lose in every battle, especially in the battle of Shanhaiguan. , became a clown.

Such a person who has no position and integrity, no matter how big the official is, no matter how famous the reputation is, at most he will be notorious, of course Lin Yi dismisses it.

"Huh, it turned out to be Tang Zongbing. It's really disrespectful. However, I heard that the governor-general Lu Xiangsheng was ordered in danger. The emperor bestowed the emperor's sword. The governor-general of the world's soldiers and horses fought against the Tartars. Tang Miyun's soldiers and horses should belong to the governor-general." Your Excellency Lu Xiangsheng dispatched him, but I don't understand the lowly position. The Governor-General fought against Changping, fought against Shunyi, fought against Yuyang, fought against Qianxi, fought against Zunhua, and fought bloody battles with the Tartars for so many days. Where did Master Tang get rich without seeing a single soldier of Master Tang?"

"Jin Yi, what nonsense are you talking about?" Tang Tong is also a man of dignity. Lin Yi's sarcasm made his big face turn red all of a sudden, "I, Tang Tong, have been with Lord Supervisor during this period. Guarding the important place in the capital is completely obeying the orders, how dare you insult me!"

"It's a good one to obey the orders, so why didn't you obey the orders of the Governor? Your so-called orders are the bullshit of those white-faced treacherous officials, right? They have vision, know how to fight, protect themselves wisely, watch fire from the other side, and sit back and watch Zunhua being ravaged by the Tartars. Don’t care about the life and death of the governor and thousands of soldiers, how dare you ask Mr. Tang what should he do?”

Tang Tong was furious: "Bold, how dare you slander this general soldier with a small rebellion, come and take him down for me!"
