Chapter 52: Who is Lin Yi?
"Your Excellency has wronged you...... The subordinates are true, and they will never dare to deceive half a sentence, please be aware ......of it, "Zu Keyong never expected it to be like this, disaster fell from the sky, and he was going to lose his head when he saw this, and he was too wronged, so he shouted quickly."
"More than 1,000 horses have made you lose everything, and you are still shouting injustice, and this general soldier is still wronged! If you want to excuse yourself, just say clearly, where is the kid surnamed Lin? Zu Kuan thought of the more than 1,000 brothers under Zu Keyong, and he was in pain.
It's not because Zu Kuan loves soldiers like sons, but because he knows that in this troubled era, as a military general, having no soldiers is equivalent to an eagle without wings, a tiger without teeth, and only a gun can support his waist. That's more than a thousand brave Ning Yuan troops!
After going back, this matter is in front of Zu Dashou, and he must have an explanation, otherwise Zu Dashou will lose his temper, and it will be enough for him to bear it.
"My lord, my subordinates don't dare to deceive, my subordinates are really ashamed, after the subordinates encountered the Tartars, due to the disparity in numbers, a bloody battle, more than a thousand brothers did not survive, and this is thanks to Lin Yi's retreat from the infantry on foot, otherwise the whole army of his subordinates will be wiped out, and today he will not have the opportunity to say goodbye to the commander, and Yongping City has already become a Tartar."
"At that time, his subordinates were seriously injured, and they had to take refuge in Yongping to recuperate, during which they had sent troops to ask for help, but there was no news, and at the critical moment, Lin Yi fought three battles and won three victories, and the killing of Amin fled, these 300 people are still recruited warriors from Yongping City, not the old subordinate department, Lin Yi is waiting outside, and the adults can ask them and the staff of Yongping City and the people who know about it......"
"Don't say it, ask for a fart. Since you respect Lin Yi so much, after a while, General Soldier will let him accompany you to lose his head, which can be regarded as an explanation to the more than 1,000 brothers who died under you, and push him out! β
No matter how Zu Keyong explained, Zu Kuan didn't listen, and Zu Keyong was tied up and dragged out by the knife and axe.
"Come on, tie up the kid surnamed Lin and kill me." Zu Kuan's anger did not subside, and he gave such an order to his subordinates, this may be his extended punishment for Zu Keyong.
Lu Ming, the team officer on duty at the gate of the big tent, agreed, and led a team of armored warriors to Lin Yi and they came......
Lin Yi waited outside with more than 300 people, and Zu Keyong went inside to meet Zu Kuan, who was the deputy chief soldier of Shanhaiguan, and the official rank was also the military attache of the Ming Dynasty from the second grade.
And Lin Yi is a hundred generals in the army, and his identities are very different, of course Lin Yi did not follow Zu Keyong to meet Zu Kuan, but took people to wait here.
But Lin Yi didn't expect Zu Keyong to come out for a long time, but they waited for the news that Zu Keyong was tied up and wanted to cut off his head.
Lin Yi was shocked, how could this be? After discussing with Wang Jianyi, they were going to find Zu Kuan to braid.
At this time, a group of menacing generals came.
"Who is Lin Yi?"
Lu Ming, the commander who led the team, was the general in the army, and the general was about equivalent to the battalion-level officer in later generations.
Lin Yi felt that the formation of these people was wrong, murderous, what kind of stubble?
"It's down there." Lin Yi replied steadily.
"Take it away!" Lu Ming shouted the order, and without saying a word, several generals under his command came over to arrest Lin Yi.
Xiao Ying, Zhang Hua, He Tao, Erhu, Wang Qi and others beside Lin Yi stopped doing it when they heard it, their eyes glared, and they were about to draw a knife.
Lin Yi stopped them with his gaze and looked at the team officer: "Wait a minute." This brother, which one did Lin commit, where was the crime, why did he take it away indiscriminately, can you explain it clearly? β
"Hmph," Lu Ming pursed his mouth, "Oh, you still don't understand, what is your position now?" β
"100 in the army." Lin Yi said solemnly. He doesn't feel that he is a small official at all, Mr. Bai is indeed not big in the army, but he is also in charge of a hundred and ten people, even in the Ming Dynasty, the official level is also a seven-grade military attachΓ©, and he has only been over for a few months, and he is already very satisfied.
After all, he was only a big soldier at the beginning, before the crossing, Lin Yi had never even been a sesame officer with no grade or level, and now he has become a hundred generals in the army, many people are still a small flag chief, flag chief, and hundred households all their lives, and they have cultivated it in just a few months, and they have not taken any twists and turns, it can be proudly said that it is obtained through their own hard work, not to pave the way with silver, not to mention the old faces of the seven aunts, six uncles and eight aunts, Lin Yi is at ease.
Lu Ming scoffed, "Just one hundred generals, you can clean up the thousands of horses and thousands of troops of the Tartars, retreat on foot, win three battles and three victories, and even the Tartars' Yue Tuo and Amin are all away, don't you think this kind of boasting is a bit too much?" This is the battalion of the chief soldier Zu Kuan, and you have to find a good place to brag about it, okay? Now the chief soldier is angry and wants to cut off your head! β
Lin Yi was very unhappy in his heart, because he was a small person, he couldn't do a big career, and he couldn't see greatness in the ordinary, what kind of bullshit logic was this?
They can doubt themselves, but they must not insult themselves, why should they respect those who look down on them?
Lin Yi pressed himself and sneered: "I, Lin Yi, have always had one thing to say and two to say, and I will never deceive the world and steal my name." Adults draw conclusions indiscriminately, which is too arbitrary! β
"Oh, are you not convinced? Chop your head off in a moment and you'll be convinced! β
Lu Ming's subordinates came over to take people, but Lin Yi was so angry that the fire couldn't be suppressed anymore. didn't wait for Lin Yi to lose his temper, and he was angry with someone.
Gan Bao jumped over with a snort carrying the iron pole, "I see which of you dares to touch our Lord Lin!" What Lord Lin just said is not an exaggeration at all, I can testify, these more than 300 brothers can also testify, and the people of Yongping have also seen it. You sons of bitches, Lin Yi has made such a great contribution, not to mention any reward, you still want to harm him, see if Lao Tzu doesn't flatten you! β
Gan Bao said and poked the flat pole in his hand to the ground, and a pit appeared on the ground.
Gan Bao took the lead in the frenzy, and the big man Jiang Xingyuan also jumped over, holding the big shovel in his hand, and also blocked in front of Lin Yi, and shouted angrily, like a bell: "Which kid dares to come over, I'll smash your dog's head!"
Jiang Xingyuan said emotionally, and the big shovel slapped on the ground, and the gravel splashed everywhere.
The more than 300 people behind the two of them were no longer silent, shouting and pulling out their knives and guns, glaring angrily.
Lu Ming's face turned pale, "You are really tired of disobeying the order of the chief master, come on, all of them will be arrested, and those who resist will be killed!" β
This is the general battalion, and there are people under Lu Ming, so he rushed up with an order and came over to surround Lin Yi and others. The archers, and some of the firearms men, pointed the guns of the black hole at them.
The two sides are tense, and the war is on the verge of breaking out.
There was such a toss outside, Zu Kuan in the big tent had already been rewarded, he felt that Lin Yi and these people were too bold and reckless, and they dared to be captured without restraint, and they were willing to die? So the temperamental Zu Keyong didn't dare to do this, his surname Lin was just a hundred presidents, and he was so temperamental?
Zu came to the scene with his adjutant general Li Mingfu and the general guerrillas.
When they saw that Lin Yi's more than 300 people were really unfamiliar faces, they were not Ning Yuanjun when they looked at the equipment and dress.
These two are the lords of the army, and as soon as they appeared, these Ning Yuanjun hurriedly gave way to dodge.
Lu Ming came over and said, "Master, the kid surnamed Lin has openly disobeyed your orders, and these soldiers under him are going to mutiny."
The fat meat on Zu Kuan's face jumped up, and his eyes fell on Lin Yi's face in the crowd.
Lin Yi's face was calm, he had already noticed Zu Kuan, he was thinking about whether to teach this indiscriminate commander who gave orders to do whatever he wanted a lesson, Lao Tzu is not a person who is obedient!
At this time, Zu Kuan's lieutenant Yang Mingfu spoke, "Lin Yi, do you dare to fight against the chief soldier with a small rebellion?" β
Lin Yi said: "The subordinates don't dare." But although the subordinates are soft-spoken, they can't be slaughtered by others, and the subordinates and the Tartars are born and die, and there are several bloody battles, not to mention the merits, and they can't be deducted indiscriminately and unjustly killed. β
Except for his boss, no one dared to be in front of him, so arrogant, Zu Kuan's face was extremely ugly.
At this time, Wang Jian spoke, and took two steps forward to Zu Kuan's salute: "Master, in Xia Wang Jian, he once served under the account of the great commander of Cao Da, and later the border army entered the office, and he was appointed to take charge of hundreds of households in the Sanchakou Guard, can you say a few words in the next place, there must be some misunderstanding here."
Li Mingfu and Zu Kuan looked at each other, of course they knew that the big and small commanders of Cao referred to the famous Cao Wenzhao and his nephew Cao Bianjiao, these two were both commanders-in-chief, brave and brave, and repeatedly defeated the thieves Gao Yingxiang Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, and their prestige was far and wide. A few years ago, Cao Wenzhao died in battle, and Cao Bianjiao, the commander of Xiao Cao, collected Uncle Luo's army into his own army, continued to fight, and repeatedly performed miraculous feats, and Emperor Chongzhen personally sent an edict to promote him as the deputy commander-in-chief, and now serves under the command of Hong Chengchou, the governor of the three sides.
Zu Kuan was a little restrained, and his complexion softened, "Since Lord Wang is under the command of Xiao Cao, please have something to say." β
Wang Jian let out a sigh of relief, God forbid, there was no fight after all, they are all people from the court, they are all going to kill Tartars, they are all family, why is the anger so big!
Wang Jian told him and Lin Yi and Zu Keyong how they had encountered Tartars these days, how they retreated to Yongping to recuperate from their injuries, how Amin had no hope of Yongping reinforcements, and how Lin Yi won three battles and three victories.
Wang Jian didn't add oil and vinegar, but Zu Kuan and these people listened to it like a cloud, as if they were listening to mythological stories, no matter what, they didn't believe it, his appearance was not good, and the little-known Lin Yi had such great magical powers.
Wang Jian saw that these people were too arrogant, and he didn't intend to convince them, and finally said: "My subordinates are bold, if the chief master thinks that we are guilty, please ask the chief master to hand us over to Commander Xiao Cao or Governor Lu to punish the crime."
Zu Kuan and the others pouted, it was already a miracle that they could endure until now and listen to Wang Jian's ramblings.
Li Mingfu whispered a few words in Zu Kuan's ear, if this matter is too stiff and the casualties are too serious, King Lu Yan and Xiao Cao's general will not end well in the future, Zu Kuan nodded.
Li Mingfu said to Wang Jian: "What Lord Wang said is also reasonable, since Lin Yi does not belong to Ning Yuanjun, today's matter is over, you and Lord Wang will take your brothers and go to camp elsewhere."
Who is rare with you? At every turn, it's either to fight or kill, it's gunpowder? It would be better to camp elsewhere, if it weren't for the guerrilla commander Zu Keyong, we wouldn't have come here in the first place.
Therefore, Wang Jian hurriedly thanked him: "Thank you for your grace, and my subordinates will leave."
At this time, Li Mingfu waved his hand at Lu Ming and the others, and these Ning Yuan troops who surrounded Lin Yi and them collected their knives, guns, bows and arrows, and dodged a road.
Lin Yi's more than 300 people also collected their knives and guns, and planned to retreat.
"Wait!" A cold voice floated out.
Wang Jian, Xiaoying and the others were startled and looked at Lin Yi who was speaking.
Zu Kuan and the others are secretly rejoicing for Lin Yi to have such a prestigious boss as King Lu Yan and Commander Xiao Cao, and good subordinates like Wang Jian who are loyal and serve their lives, and they saved their lives at the critical moment, otherwise the one surnamed Lin would have been planted today. No wonder he has such a temper, hurry up and go back and steal the fun, today's ending is a big bargain that is hard to buy!
They thought about it like this, and Lin Yi didn't plan to thank him, nor did he dig into it and prepare to return the account, but Lin Yi came up with such a sentence, seeing that he was not finished yet?
Zu Kuan and the others were stunned, and the eyes of all the generals present fell on Lin Yi, including Lin Yi's team of more than 300 people.
"Lord General Soldier, dare to ask your Excellency what to do with the guerrilla commander Zu Keyong?"
Of course Lin Yi can't just take care of himself, Zu Keyong would be too wronged if he lost his head for this matter today, although Zu Keyong has a lot of problems, and even has a lot of sins, but now he has become good, this time he can defeat Amin and Yue Tuo, he is indispensable, if he is slaughtered by Zu Kuan like this, there will be one less fierce general who kills the Tartars.
Zu Kuan had an exaggerated expression on his face, "Tsk, the surname is Lin, it's kind enough." I can't save my own life, and I still think about others, just by virtue of this, this general soldier is convinced. However, Zu Keyong is a subordinate of this general army, whether to kill or release, I'm afraid it has nothing to do with Your Excellency! β
Lin Yi smiled: "My lord is only half right. It is true that the ancestor guerrilla is a subordinate of the adult, and the adult has great power, life and death, which is really a matter of duty, and he has no right to intervene. However, if the adults don't distinguish between black and white orders and kill the heroes who killed the enemy and defended the territory like the ancestor guerrilla, aren't they afraid that the officials or factory guards of the court will do something? The guerrilla commander is a subordinate of the lord, but the guerrilla commander and the lord are even more of His Majesty's courtiers! β
Now Zu Kuan is really scared, and his deputy general Li Mingfu and others are also afraid, not only them, which minister in Daming is not afraid of officials and factory guards?
The official refers to the imperial history of the imperial court and the affairs of various sections, although the official is not big, but he is looking for the fault of the officials and ministers, especially the Donglin Party, impeaching this today, impeaching that tomorrow, being targeted by these officials, waiting for bad luck, the light will be dismissed, and the heavy will be imprisoned or even lose his head.
However, this is not the most terrible, the most terrible is the factory guard. Dongchang and Jinyiwei are everywhere, these two major spy agencies are directly responsible to the emperor, and they have great power, and they have their own prisons, and they can directly arrest people, interrogate people, convict and behead them without going through the three legal divisions, which is called the edict prison.
The edict is better than hell on earth, it is said that those who go in can rarely come out alive, the hundred officials talk about the factory guards are all discolored, after Yuan Chonghuan's accident, even the powerful Zu Dashou is honestly afraid, until now he does not dare to enter Beijing, for fear of being arrested by the factory guards.
Therefore, Zu Kuan and these people were all afraid when they heard Lin Yi's words, could it be that the kid surnamed Lin was the eyes and ears of the factory guard? Whether he is or not, he must die!
Zu Kuan gritted his teeth and gave Li Mingfu a look......
