On the third watch, Lin Yi, who was asleep, was awakened by the sound of earth-shattering cannons and earth-shattering shouts.

In the past few months of living outside Jinzhou City, Lin Yi's work and rest time is very regular, and the military camp besieging Jinzhou City has become his training ground and martial arts training ground.

The three deep trenches and the joint camp of 100,000 troops surrounded Jinzhou City, and there was no need to worry that the Qing army in the city would break through, especially after Nikan and Bolo's reinforcements were repulsed, after Lin Yi came back from the Daling River, he regarded the battlefield as his imperial capital.

In his Chinese army camp, Lin Yi got up early every day to practice his sword and boxing techniques, which was about an hour, that is, two hours.

Then, Xiaoying and Zhezhe accompanied him to breakfast, and went to the women's camp in the morning and afternoon to see the training of female soldiers.

He didn't have to worry about the defense and siege of the city at all now. He Renlong, Hao Shaoqi, Gan Bao, Jiang Xingyuan, Wang Jian, Dongsheng, Wang Qi and other generals are more capable than one another, they have followed Lin Yi for many years, and they all know Lin Yi's temper and the rules in the army.

Since the Battle of the Daling River, the sisters of the women's battalion have come back to train harder. Because although the battle was won, the sisters of the women's battalion also suffered more than 200 casualties. Now Lin Yi's women's battalion has less than 400 people.

After this battle, the more than 300 people realized that they were far behind the male soldiers, especially compared to the Guards battalion, which made them train harder and harder.

Lin Yi often went to the women's camp training ground to take a turn, and by the way, he instructed them in fists, feet and marksmanship, and Lin Yi's frequent visits boosted their morale, and the girls felt infinitely honored. The training of the women's battalion has also become a beautiful scenery in the Ming camp, often attracting the male soldiers on patrol to stop and watch.

The evening is the time for Lin Yi to entertain and relax, every three or five days, someone will prepare a sumptuous banquet for him, then listen to songs and dances, and then Xiaoying and Zhezhe take turns to serve him is bed rest.

He is in the barracks, and he is also supervising the Ming Dynasty, whether it is Yanjing or Nanjing, he will deal with it in time and command it remotely.

Although he is not in Yanjing, the imperial capital, because of the six cabinet ministries, the state apparatus of the Ming Dynasty is still functioning.

Lin Yi is now fighting outside all the year round, although he has no time to govern the government, most of the officials of the six ministries and the three divisions and yamen are old officials, especially the local officials have not had time to be replaced.

But now after Li Zicheng attacked Yanjing and Lin Yi drove him out, this time, the officialdom shocked, there were many casualties among the senior officials, and it also shook the magistrates, and now they have all become peaceful, including those disobedient warlords, those who have two hearts or are not convinced by Lin Yi have all defected, either fled to Daxi to Zhang Xianzhong, or fled to the south to join Zheng Zhilong.

Therefore, the remaining civil and military generals of the Ming Dynasty, whether they are central or local, have converged a lot of the previous stinky problems.

Especially those civil officials of the Donglin Party, no one dares to make waves on the surface now, knowing that Lin Yi is in power in the Ming Dynasty now, he is not Chongzhen, and he will never get used to them.

Dashun has been destroyed by him, and now he is destroying Daxizhong, and the Manchu Qing conquest outside the gate has won the battle, if the war is quelled, Lin Yi will definitely rectify the officialdom.

Therefore, now the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty has gradually stabilized, and there are almost no too tricky things except for the war with Zhang Xianzhong and the conquest of Zheng Zhilong in the south.

As for the supply of money, food, soldiers and horses used in these wars, Lin Yi instructed the cabinet officials to collect more taxes on Jiangnan, and reduce the taxes in the west and north, because Jiangnan is a rich land and has not been damaged by the war, and the west and north have been fighting for years and need to recover their lives.

In addition to these things, Lin Yi just accompanied Xiaoying and Zhezhe to eat, drink and have fun.

Today, after Song Xiance divined for him, Lin Yi sent an order to go down, and the men and horses of each battalion should not leave the saddle, and the soldiers would not take off their armor.

On the third watch day, Song Xiance's hexagram was indeed fulfilled, and the earth-shattering cannon sound and earth-shattering shouts woke Lin Yi up from his sleep.

"What's going on out there?"

Soon someone came to report that the Qing army in Jinzhou City was going to break through the siege in a big way tonight, which meant that all the city gates were wide open, but only the east gate and the north gate had Qing troops rushing out, and the Ming army stationed in that area had already caught fire with them.

"Mr. Song's calculations are really accurate." This time, Lin Yi was completely sleepy.

Xiaoying and Zhezhe waited for Lin Yi to dress neatly, and Zhang Hua had already gathered the men and horses of the guard battalion outside, waiting for Lin Yi's order.

At this time, Song Xiance also came over.

Lin Yi was wearing heavy armor, taking Xiaoying and Zhezhe, under the protection of Zhang Hua and other guard battalions, and accompanied by Song Xiance, their team left the tent of the Chinese army camp and slipped outside.

At this time, outside the east gate and north gate of Jinzhou City, the shouts and guns became more intense, and one after another, like the rising tide of the sea.

Outside the south gate and outside the west gate, no Qing troops were found to come out, but the Ming troops in these two places were all ready and prepared.

This is Gan Bao and Jiang Xingyuan came to ask for an order, these two generals said that Hao Shaoqi and He Renlong were very lively at the north gate and the east gate, but there was no movement at the west gate and north gate of their house, and the soldiers who reported the incident said that the city gates of these two places were wide open, and they asked to be killed.

Lin Yi thought for a moment and asked Song Xiance: "All the gates of Jinzhou City are open, and only two gates have Qing troops coming out, what do you think?"

"My lord, humble and foolish, this must be what Hong Chengchou is doing, we don't have to worry about him, just annihilate the enemy who breaks through."

"Sir, you are very clever, and you said it well." Lin Yi looked at Gan Bao and Jiang Xingyuan with a smile, "You two heard, the Qing army in the city is a grasshopper that can't fly, since they don't come out, you don't have to cross the three trenches to find them, just in your defensive position, listen to the shouts and guns over there, how easy is it?" ”

"Adult, small understand." The second general agreed to leave, and the two of them felt that their hands would itch if they didn't fight, but they didn't dare to attack the city without a military order.

Lin Yi took a turn and learned about the battle situation of each battalion, then returned to his Chinese army tent and sat down with Song Xiance to drink tea.

On the fourth watch, someone came to report that Hao Shaoqi outside the north gate and He Renlong outside the east gate repelled the Qing army's two breakthrough charges one after another, and now the Qing army's third breakthrough charge has started again. And now the east and west gates of Jinzhou City are still open, and not a single soldier has come out inside.

Gan Bao and Jiang Xingyuan led their men and horses around the trenches outside the west gate and the south gate, hoping that the Qing army would come out of them.

Lin Yi smiled, "These two guys are too energetic, but it's a pity that the Qing army in the city doesn't pity them and doesn't break through from their place, they are really in a hurry, there is no way." ”

Song Xiance grinned and smiled, his face looked even darker under the light, "But my lord, it seems that the Tartars in the city are really desperate tonight." ”

The two of them chatted while drinking tea, and someone came to report on the fifth watch day, and the Tartars broke through more rapidly this time, and there was a fierce battle outside the east gate and the north gate.

Lin Yi smiled: "Oh, isn't there someone who can't sleep without fighting, let them support ......"

Jiang Xingyuan and Gan Bao soon received the order, and the second general was overjoyed, and transferred 5,000 soldiers and horses from the Nancheng Barracks and Xicheng Barracks to support the East Gate and the North Gate respectively.

When the sky was gray, Lin Yi got another report, the battle between Dongcheng and Beicheng was over, the Qing army did not break through to the siege, and the corpse filled in the moat and the three trenches outside the city. The British prince of the Qing Dynasty, Azig, and the first warrior of Manchuria, Ao Bai, all died in the chaos.

As soon as Lin Yi heard that the battle was fought beautifully, he immediately ordered all battalions to attack Jinzhou City.

After this order was passed down, Lin Yi was not idle, and at dawn, he led the guard battalion to cross the three trenches and rushed into Jinzhou City from the south gate.

Now Jinzhou City has basically become an empty city, and there is no Qing army to defend it at all.

Lin Yi's people drove straight into the Shuai Mansion in one breath, where they encountered stubborn resistance from the Qing army protecting the Shuai Mansion.

But there are only more than 1,000 Qing troops here, although they are the elite of the Eight Banners, they have drunk human blood and eaten human flesh, and their combat effectiveness can be called strong.

But compared with Lin Yi's more than 1,000 guard battalions, the combat power is not a grade. Therefore, the battle ended in less than half an hour, and more than 1,000 Qing soldiers were slaughtered by Lin Yi's guard battalion. Lin Yi's men and horses rushed into the Shuai's Mansion with an unstoppable momentum, and Hong Chengchou, who was sitting in the Shuai's Mansion, became a turtle in the urn.

In fact, Hong Chengchou saw it very accurately, the Ming army did not rush in at the beginning, he knew that his four doors did not attract the Ming army, and he did not distract the attention and strength of the Ming army outside the city, and it was not until dawn that the Ming army rushed in, indicating that their breakthrough was more auspicious.

Surrounded by the Ming army, the guards were slaughtered, Hong Chengchou didn't want to be a prisoner, and pulled out his new master along the sword of the Son of Heaven given to him by the little emperor, and crossed his neck to commit suicide.

But he gritted his teeth a few times, and finally couldn't do it.

At this time, Lin Yi appeared in front of Hong Chengchou, it turned out that this big traitor Hong Chengchou looked like this, Lin Yi couldn't help but take a few more looks, and firmly remembered Hong Chengchou's appearance, which was very different from the actors found in later films and television.

Lin Yi met Hong Chengchou for the first time. Don't look at them as officials in the same dynasty before, but the two of them have never met. When Lin Yi crossed over, he was a pawn of the border army, and later from the small banner in the army to the commander of 100 people, and then to the guerrilla commander, until the later deputy general soldier, including being named the prince and the prince, were all perennial battles, mainly in the northern, eastern and southwestern parts of the Beijing Division, and never went to the Beijing Division.

And Hong Chengchou is a civil official with a military rank, most of the time in Shaanxi as an official, from the governor of Shaanxi to the governor of the three sides, and later the Central Plains to suppress bandits, and then was later promoted to the governor of Jiliao to the Northeast Guanwai. Therefore, these two people have never met, and they are just known to each other.

"Lord Hong, don't come here unharmed, do you know Lin Yi?"

Hong Chengchou looked at Lin Yi in front of him and was stunned, this little white face is Lin Yi like the sky? The new Ming Supervisor? He didn't expect that Lin Yi would personally rush in to arrest him, and he would still use him to charge into battle?

Lin Yi sneered: "Isn't Your Excellency going to commit suicide, Lin will fulfill you, wipe your neck quickly, what's the matter, you can't do it?" Then don't blame Lin for being unkind, come on, tie me up! ”

If Hong Chengchou in front of him really wiped his neck and committed suicide, then history would be wrong. Because he's still a little bloody and a little disciplined. And now when Lin saw it, he put the sword across his neck, but he didn't see blood, so he knew that this was a person who was greedy for life and afraid of death. It is no wonder that after being captured in the Battle of Ningjin, he surrendered to the Qing Dynasty. A little dust will bounce off his clothes, no wonder he can't resist the gentleness of the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang.

Since this big traitor didn't want to die, it would be easy to do, Lin Yi instantly changed his mind and planned to leave him a dog alive first.

Soon Hong Chengchou was snatched of his sword, twisted his arms and tied them like zongzi, which hurt so much that his clear face grinned and sweated down.

At this point, the Ming army completely occupied the city of Jinzhou, and the Qing army in the city was completely annihilated.
