Zu Kuan's 2,000 Ning Yuan army quickly trapped Lin Yi's more than 800 people in it, and it was a fire in an instant.

This is exactly what the Zuke warriors are worried about, the enemy is strong and I am weak, not only can they not kill Zu Kuan and Li Mingfu, but if they don't get him, Lin Yi and these people will suffer deeply.

This is also what Lin Yi does not want to see, no matter who wins or loses on both sides, it is a tragedy. Because whether it is the Ning Yuan army or the Tianxiong army, they are first and foremost the army of the Ming Dynasty, and the enemies they face should be Tartars and thieves, not cannibalism.

However, Lin Yi had already prepared, he had already expected that there would be such a scene before he started, this time Lin Yi mainly killed Zu Kuan and Li Mingfu, two traitors, who had nothing to do with anyone else, and did not want to expand the incident.

Therefore, Lin Yi saw that there was going to be a large-scale fire between the two sides, and shouted: "You have all shown me clearly, what is this?" See which of you dares to move! ”

Lin Yi said, took out an object from his waist and held it high.

This is a golden brand, the size of a palm, which becomes more eye-catching in the sun, and the word "Dongchang" is engraved on the brand.

This trick really worked, whether it was Ning Yuanjun or Tianxiong Army, they were all suppressed.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the power of the factory guard was too great, Dongchang and Jinyiwei were the two major spy agencies of the imperial court, and Jinyiwei was a dog raised by Dongchang, and their power was in the hands of the eunuchs, and the eunuchs were directly responsible to the emperor.

Not to mention far away, from Wei Zhongxian who was an ancient man to Cao Huachun now, which one is not the power of the government and the opposition? Of these two factory dukes, one can be called nine thousand years old, and the other is Wei Zhongxian's second.

After Emperor Chongzhen came to power, the first of his biggest actions was to eradicate the eunuch party headed by Wei Zhongxian. However, Emperor Chongzhen cleaned up Wei Zhongxian, and he was just a son of heaven and a courtier.

This is by no means the end of the eunuch dictatorship, let alone the demise of the factory guards, but the strengthening of the power of the factory guards.

Because Emperor Chongzhen was stubborn and self-serving, he was too suspicious. Coupled with the influence of the climate of the Xiaoice River during this period, natural disasters continued in various places, and the imperial court was corrupt, and the relief was not only not timely, but increased the forced labor and taxes, and the people were miserable and lived in dire straits.

In this case, many ordinary people took risks, lost their lives as thieves, rose up, and blossomed everywhere, with Shaanxi as the most. In order to maintain their rule, the government only suppressed, and these thieves could not fight against the officers and soldiers only scurrying around, this is one of the gravediggers of Emperor Chongzhen.

In the process of suppressing the thieves, many officials of the imperial court became thieves, and many thieves surrendered to the imperial court and became members of the government, which made the suspicious Emperor Chongzhen have to strengthen the power of the factory guard to identify and supervise.

On the other hand, the Jiannu outside the customs repeatedly violated the border, and even worse, they went to the north to go outside Beijing. Tartar was the second gravedigger of the Ming Dynasty. In the process of fighting against the Tartars, Emperor Chongzhen also saw the phenomenon of many court officials surrendering to the Tartars, such as Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming, who were holding heavy soldiers, and the Tong family, a member of the Liaodong Wang, who openly surrendered to the Tartars and became traitors.

There is also Yuan Chonghuan, a feudal official who guards Liaodong, who also communicates with Houjin Dark, at least Emperor Chongzhen thinks so, and in a fit of anger, he had to put Yuan Chonghuan to death, cutting more than 3,000 knives in total, which shows how angry Emperor Chongzhen is.

In this case, it is no wonder that Emperor Chongzhen, who is suspicious by nature, does not trust every courtier, and in order to find out the ideological situation of the civil and military officials and even everyone at any time, whether he is loyal or not, the only way is to supervise the forces that strengthen the factory guard.

Now Cao Huachun is the commander of the East Factory, the power of the factory guard has been unprecedentedly strengthened, it can be said that it is pervasive, Lu Xiangsheng appeared next to the factory guard Lu Ming, indicating that the power of the factory guard has penetrated into the field army, up to the emperor's relatives, civil and military officials, down to the Li people, workers, peasants, businessmen, and soldiers, all in the factory guard monitoring, there is no vacuum.

As long as the factory guards find people who are disloyal to the imperial court, no matter who they are, they can be arrested or killed immediately, and they don't need to go through the three law divisions at all, they have their own criminal department yamen, and if they are killed by the factory guards on the spot, they are lucky. If they are arrested and thrown into prison, it is for the edict, and entering the edict is equivalent to entering hell on earth, and it is said that very few people can get out of the edict alive.

As for whether there are unjust, false and wrongful cases, I don't know, Emperor Chongzhen didn't bother to ask at all, and he didn't have time to ask, because he was too busy.

In this case, it is no wonder that the courtiers of the Ming Dynasty changed their color when they talked about Dongchang. It is conceivable that Cao Huachun's power is better than that of Wei Zhongxian back then.

Lin Yi has witnessed the deterrent power of the factory guard, but it is not hearsay. However, the factory guard can deter others, but he can't deter Lin Yi, as a traverser, he knows too much about it, and he doesn't want to be a victim here.

Therefore, after he killed the factory guard Lu Ming, since this small brand is so powerful, why not collect it? Lin Yi is a caring person, bold, careful, and alert.

Today, this small brand finally came in handy, and when it was taken out in public, it was really amazingly powerful. Those Ning Yuan troops were shocked at once, and those Tianxiong troops were also shocked.

"Factory guards? Lin Yi turned out to be a factory guard? ”

Especially Li Mingfu and Zu Kuan, when they saw this small brand, they also felt that today's unlucky time had come, what Lin Yi said before, they were suspicious, and today they saw that Lin Yi was really a factory guard.

No wonder he, a small leader of the border army, dared to commit a crime and fight with this deputy commander-in-chief. Who can't be provoked, how did you provoke Lin Yi?

Zu Kuan and Li Mingfu now have some regrets in their hearts. Of course, they knew what would happen if they offended the factory guards, and so far, their top boss, Zu Dashou, who was a heavy soldier, did not dare to approach the land of Gyeonggi, and the fundamental reason was because they were afraid of being arrested by the factory guards of the imperial court.

Lin Yi saw that this small brand was really useful, and it could ward off evil spirits at a critical time. However, there are two more words to be said about this matter, and these generals will not dare to act rashly.

"Brothers of Ning Yuanjun, under the orders of Shangfeng, Zu Kuan and Li Mingfu took the court's money, did not do anything for the court, intrigued, and repeatedly designed to frame Lin, which is okay. They dared to throw the camp to the Tartars, fled from the battle, and now ran back to act as heroes, so that the traitors were not displeased. If there is any obstruction, he shall be guilty of the same crime as the second offender. ”

As soon as Lin Yi's words came out, these soldiers of Ning Yuanjun didn't dare to move, and many of them whispered and turned their heads to each other.

Because many people are not at all comfortable with the cunning and fickleness of Zu Kuan and Li Mingfu, and do not approve of it. If you don't say anything else, the matter of escaping from the battle is not the work of a hot-blooded man, and people despise it.

Lin Yi sees that it will be easy for you to do it if you don't interfere, and it will be my time now.

"Li Mingfu, do you want to die or live?"

"Adults spare their lives......" Li Mingfu was even more frightened when he saw Lin Yi's dual identity.

"If you want me to spare you, it's okay, tell me what you and Zu Kuan did in person, to prove that Lin didn't make something out of nothing just now."

This time, Li Mingfu was really obedient, in front of all the soldiers, from front to back, 1510, he told all the things about the two of them plotting to kill Lin Yi and escaping from the battle, which was completely consistent with what Lin Yi said. Of course, in order to clear himself, he put the main blame on Zu Kuan, and almost stunned Zu Kuan.

The soldiers of the Ning Yuan Army and the Tianxiong Army were indignant after hearing this.

"You're done, but the truth?"

"My lord, what you said is absolutely the truth, don't dare to deceive half a sentence, spare your life......"

"Hmph," Lin Yi sneered, "I, Lin Yi, can spare you, but the court can't spare you, go die!" ”

Lin Yi said, and with a force on his wrist, the dagger knife, which was more than a foot long, was pushed into Li Mingfu from the chin.

Just like bleeding a pig, Li Mingfu shouted, his hands and feet kicked, the blood soared, and soon Li Mingfu collapsed into a corpse, and his unwilling eyes stared at Lin Yi.

The soldiers present stared at each other, and they all felt that Lin Yi's knife was very relieved.

At this time, Zu Kuan didn't do it, he was covered in blood, he covered his stomach with one hand, pointed at Lin Yi with the other and shouted, of course, the content of the shout was to let his soldiers kill Lin Yi.

But now these soldiers of Ning Yuan's army are all looking at each other and are indifferent, and he, the deputy commander-in-chief, is not in good command.

Lin Yi came over to him with a blood-dripping dagger knife, "It's your turn!" ”

Zu Kuan saw that no one listened to him and had to do it alone, he couldn't sit still, he let it go. Annoyed and angry, he grabbed a sword and shouted and rushed towards Lin Yi.

If he charges on horseback, the current Lin Yi is by no means Zu Kuan's opponent, but if he abandons his horse and goes head-to-head, the situation will be reversed.

What's more, Zu Kuan was stabbed today, and he was not Lin Yi's opponent.

The small dagger was against the three-foot long sword, and after a few clanging sounds, Lin Yifei kicked Zu Kuan out with his feet, and the long sword in his hand bounced to the ground.

Before Zu Kuan got up from the ground, Lin Yi's feet arrived again, and Zu Kuan slipped out again.

This time Lin Yi stood there, waiting for him to staggered up, Zu Kuan, who was covered in blood, with a blue nose and swollen face, could not see anyone clearly now, and Lin Yi in his eyes had turned red.

He accumulated the last strength and pounced on Lin Yi again.

Lin Yi dodged to the side, and with another kick, Zu Kuan's heavy body flew up, and fell heavily to the ground, like a rammer, Zu Kuanwa's mouthful of blood spurted out.

This time he couldn't get up again, Lin Yi came to him gently, leaned down and slashed the dagger knife in his hand, and a head rolled into his palm, blood hit the ground, staining the ground red.

The soldiers present, whether it was Ning Yuanjun, Tianxiong Army, or Lin Yi and Zu Keyong's personal guards, watched quietly, and so many people could smell the needles on the spot.

were all shocked by Lin Yi's unique killing methods, and most of them were in this mind: Lord Lin is worthy of being a factory guard of the imperial court, he is really ruthless!
