Chapter 20: Guerrilla General

The guerrilla commander who came was called Zu Keyong, and he was a murderer.

Zu Keyong is not really surnamed Zu, but he is a servant of the ancestral family in Liaodong, and the slave follows the master, so the surname Zu is called Zu Keyong, as for the real surname, there is no way to test.

There are still many people like the Zu Dashou family, and there are so many that they can form the ancestral army.

The change of his own life, the dominating Yuan Chonghuan, was executed by Ming Sizong Lingchi, Zu Dashou was implicated because of the accident of the main general Yuan Chonghuan, and later the court pardoned him for his innocence, and still let him be the chief general of Ning Jin, guarding the Liaoyuan area from Shanhaiguan to Guanwai.

After Huang Taiji ascended the throne, he once again sent heavy troops to bypass Mongolia, cross the Great Wall, and spread troops in Gyeonggi. Ordered Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of Datong, to send soldiers and horses from the Xuanhua area to King Qin, guard Gyeonggi, and expel the Tartars.

Zu Dashou responded to this call and transferred a deputy general soldier from his subordinates, that is, Zu Kuan, and gave him more than 4,000 Ning Yuan troops.

Zu Keyong was the guerrilla commander under Zu Kuan, who set off with more than 1,000 men and horses, leaving Shanhaiguan and coming in the direction of Gyeonggi.

What kind of commander is destined to bring out what kind of generals.

Zu Keyong is the same as Zu Kuan, his team is very capable of fighting, and he is capable of starting a field battle with the Tartars, and in the army at the end of the Ming Dynasty, there are not many people who dare to start a field battle with the Tartars.

But Zu Keyong's team has a fatal weakness, the military discipline is too poor. Along the way, they burned down villages, raped women, and struck more than thieves, and the common people wailed as if fleeing from the plague.

Along the way, they stopped and stopped, burning, killing and looting, not to mention the common people, and a small group of thieves retreated when they saw them, so they only walked out of three or four hundred miles in seven or eight days and came to the Sanchakou Military Station.

It was the first time that more than 1,000 soldiers came to a hundred households at once.

Wang Jian, the head of a hundred households, took a few flag chiefs and hurried to greet him.

Wang Jian and Dawang's people set up a banquet to entertain Zu Keyong, and they talked while eating.

Only then did Wang Jian learn that the guerrilla commander had come with more than 1,000 men and horses, not to exterminate the thieves, but to deal with the Tartars.

Through conversation, Zu Keyong learned that Wang Jian and others were not hereditary hundred households here, and their 18 border soldiers were originally Cao Wenzhao's subordinates. After Cao Wenzhao's soldiers were defeated and committed suicide, they followed their guerrilla commander and the Tartars fought again, the guerrilla commander and others were all killed, and 18 of them were left to this military station, Wang Jian was originally the chief flag chief, Zhang Cheng was killed by thieves in the hundred households here, and Wang Jian acted as an agent for one hundred households here.

"I have heard the name of the Great Commander for a long time in Xia, and today I am fortunate to see Sansheng, and I am brave in Xia, please bring us to serve Governor Lu and kill the Tartars."

Zu Keyong raised his neck and drank the wine dry, wiped a mouthful of oil, and excused himself: "Big and small Cao Commanders, who doesn't know, although the Great Cao Commander is dead, isn't there still a Little Cao Commander?" You originally belonged to the subordinates of Sun Chuanting of the trilateral headquarters, and now you are under the rule of Governor Hong, and the commander of this is the general soldier of Jiliao, the governor of Zuodu, and the subordinates of Zu Dashou. ”

Wang Jiandao: "The commander doesn't have to mind, we are stragglers, whether it is Governor Zhang Hong, or Zu Marshal, are all for the imperial court, if the commander does not give up, I am willing to follow the work of dogs and horses, with the leader of the horse is looking forward, in the future for the court to make meritorious contributions, the commander also has a light on his face, Xiao Cao and I will be grateful for the kindness of the commander, I hope the commander will not shirk."

Zu Keyong was inconvenient to refuse, so he had to nod: "Since the heart of the Lord of the Hundred Households is so urgent to kill the Tartars, then the Great Commander has the right and agrees, but the Great Commander doesn't understand, why is it delayed here for so long, and he doesn't go to your Xiao Cao Great Commander?"

"The commander didn't know anything, but because there was a wounded soldier who had been raised here for a few days, and it happened that the border army of the imperial court was like this, and he encountered a thief, so he was delayed until now. Okay now, this group of thieves has been exterminated by Lin Yi of our Eighth Banner, killing more than 100 people and capturing more than 40 prisoners, how can the Great Commander decide? ”

"Kill, kill, kill, kill them all, what are you keeping them for?" Without waiting for Wang Jian to finish speaking, Zu Keyong became impatient.

Zu Keyong's words are talking about Dawang's heart, whether to kill these people or not, Dawang actually has no prejudices, but just because Lin Yi intends to keep the captives, he advocates killing the captives, which is an emotional deliberate confrontation with Lin Yi.

Therefore, Dawang felt that the opportunity had come, and hurriedly complimented Zu Keyong on pouring wine and food, and said: "The Great Commander is too wise, these thieves are extremely evil, and they should have been killed a long time ago." However, some people advocate that they must be kept, and that they plan to spare them and make them guilty and meritorious service, isn't this ridiculous! ”

"Nonsense! Who is so daring? Zu Keyong's eyes widened suddenly.

Dawang continued to fan the flames, he knew that the higher he praised his opponent at this time, the worse he would fall, so he said: "It's Lin Yi!" The commander of our Eighth Banner, this man is brave and good at fighting, and he is amazing, he annihilated this group of thieves with only five people, killed more than 100, and captured more than 40. Because he had merit in killing thieves, he made this ridiculous suggestion, and we hundred households did not refute his face. ”

Zu Keyong said disdainfully: "The face of bullshit, Lord Baihu, kill them all tomorrow, it's a burden to keep them."

"Obey the orders of the Great Commander." Wang Jian had no choice but to agree.

When Dawang heard this, he was secretly happy in his heart, you want to keep these captives, Lao Tzu is going to kill them, and this matter is not over.

Thinking of this, Dawang said again: "Guerrilla Grand Commander, these captives should have died a long time ago, it's just that they were captured by Lin Yi, Lin Yi has a great temper, he is young, and now he has made such a great contribution, isn't this matter an adult, think about it?"

The guerrilla commander is the same as the deputy chief soldier of the general army, he is an official of the imperial court, a military general who leads the troops to fight, and he has the power to kill and seize, and he is a small flag commander, of course Zu Keyong will not take it in his eyes, but after Dawang's words, he has a disgusting feeling for this Lin Yi for no reason.

Originally, Zu Keyong was arrogant, and the image of a rude and reckless man was exposed, and he slapped the table and shook the cups and bowls: "Think about a fart!" Where is Lin Yi? ”

Dawang saw that this fire was burning, and he was happy in his heart, and said secretly, the surname Lin looks good this time!

At this time, Wang Jian hurriedly said: "Back to my lord's words, Lin Yi saved a woman when they exterminated this group of thieves, and he was sent to escort the woman home."

"Lord Baihu really loves the people like a son."

"The Grand Commander has won the prize."

As soon as Wang Jian's words fell, someone came in to report that Lin Yi and their banners had returned.

When Wang Jian heard that it was really a coincidence, he hurriedly ordered Lin Yi to come and meet the guerrilla commander.

Lin Yi, Xiaoying and others returned to the office, and it was already the second watch. He was about to report to the Lord of the Hundred Households, and as soon as he heard that he was going to meet the guerrilla commander, he did not dare to slack off and hurried to this military tent.

After Lin Yi came in, Wang Jian hurriedly introduced him. Lin Yi looked at the face of this guerrilla commander with a fierce face, a wide head, a big face with flesh, two thick trowel eyebrows like steel needles, a catfish mouth with a weighing nose, and a slight beard and stubble, looking at your age of about thirty years old, you can see that this person is tall and big, with big shoulders and a round waist, an iron helmet on his head, and an iron armor on his body, without majesty.

Because the disparity in rank was too great, the little flag commander was several levels behind in front of the guerrilla commander, and the official was one level higher than the one who crushed people to death, so Lin Yi hurriedly bowed down and saluted: "See the Lord Lin Yi below."

Zu Keyong glanced at Lin Yi, seeing that Lin Yi looked like a white-faced scholar, with a slender figure, his appearance was not good, not the kind of fierce man who was tall and had one head and one arm, and remembered Wang Jian and Dawang's words, and wondered in his heart: How does this Lin Yi not look like a guy who can deal with dozens of people alone, he only takes five people to meet 200 thieves? It seems that this thing will definitely not be fake, but what is going on?

Zu Keyong stared at him for a long time, did not speak, Lin Yi stood there afterwards, feeling the arrogance of this guerrilla commander, damn, no matter how big your official position is, no matter how humble Lao Tzu is, this is the least way to give courtesy to your superiors and subordinates in person, the first time you meet, are you despising Lao Tzu?

Oh, Zu Keyong, the ancestral family of Liaodong...... Zu Dashou, Wu Sangui, who was angry at the crown, and Guanning Iron Cavalry...... Lin Yi began to think about these names in his heart.

Regarding this period of history at the end of the Ming Dynasty, Lin Yi was still relatively familiar with it before he crossed it, because this dynasty has only passed three or four hundred years, which is not too far from the era, second only to the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China.

Therefore, this time his mind was right, knowing that Zu Keyong was Zu Dashou's subordinate, and his top boss was Zu Kuan, a famous warrior in the Guanning Iron Cavalry, and the thousand soldiers and horses he brought should be the rumored Guanning Army.

Regarding Yuan Chonghuan and Guan Ning Tieqi, as well as the ancestral family of Liaodong, and Wu Sangui, who was angry at the crown, Lin Yi had his own opinions, and felt that these people were a bit stupid.

With Yuan Chonghuan's ability and the combat power of Guanning Iron Cavalry, plus the ancestral family and the Wu family in Liaodong, they can completely dominate the situation, but in the end, they all ended up with a sad and shameful end. Yuan Chonghuan was executed by Chongzhen Lingchi, Zu Dashou sentenced Daming, surrendered to Tartar and became a traitor.

The most bastard is Wu Sangui, first against the Ming Dynasty, then against the Qing Dynasty, and finally against the Qing Dynasty, and then he played the banner of opposing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty, and then he actually called the emperor, isn't this slapping himself in the face? In the Ming Dynasty, because he strangled Emperor Yongli with his own hands, he was the founder of the Qing Dynasty and killed countless subjects of the Ming Dynasty, which has been left for thousands of years. In the end, he betrayed the Qing Dynasty.

Therefore, whether it is the Ming Dynasty or the Qing Dynasty, he is not welcomed, and he is put on the hat of a traitor who is extremely evil, the hat of the second minister, Zhu Bajie looks in the mirror, and he is not a person inside and out.

If you want to seek the world, you can rebel directly, why be so hypocritical? Tossed and turned, and finally ended up depressed, he was really not a man, and he was angry at the crown, bullshit, Lao Tzu despised him!
