Of course Lin Yi knows what kind of goods this Fuwang father and son are, the old Fuwang Zhu Changxun competed with Emperor Chongzhen's father for the throne back then, and almost sat on the dragon chair, because although Zhu Changxun is the third, Chongzhen's father Zhu Changluo is the eldest, but Zhu Changluo was born to a palace maid. Originally, the main palace of Emperor Wanli was the queen, but he had not given birth for many years, and one day Wanli was fortunate to have a palace maid with the strength of wine, which led to the emperor's eldest son Zhu Changluo.

However, although Zhu Changluo is the eldest son, but because he was born to a palace maid and had a low status, Wanli did not want to make him the prince, but wanted to set up his own lineage, that is, Zhu Changxun, who was born to the third son Concubine Zheng, this is because he likes Concubine Zheng very much, but this does not conform to the rules set by Zhu Yuanzhang. As a result, the succession of the prince has not been established for a long time. Later, the Wanli Emperor wanted to put Zhu Changxun is the later Lao Fu King on the throne, but was unanimously opposed by the ministers (mainly the Donglin Party), which is the battle of the country, and after fifteen years, the Wanli Emperor could not compete with the ministers, and finally set up the eldest son Zhu Changluo.

Emperor Wanli was very angry about this matter, you are the king of a country, the whole world, it is not the king's land, and the guests who lead the people are not the king's ministers, but now they can't do whatever they want, and the supreme imperial power has been challenged by a group of courtiers, and they have succeeded in the challenge. He, the emperor, dared not to speak, he couldn't even be the master of the trivial matter of which of his sons inherited the property, and it was not as good as an ordinary folk family, and the father actually said that it didn't count, how could this high-ranking Wanli Emperor be embarrassed?

In fact, this is a contest between the cabinet ministers headed by the Donglin Party and the imperial power, marking the decline of the supreme feudal imperial power that has lasted for thousands of years, and the rise of the cabinet monarchy. How could Emperor Wanli win the powerful Donglin Party? The emperor can no longer say the same, Wanli sealed three kings in a fit of anger, and Zhu Changxun, the blessed king, was one of them, and he did not go to court for thirty years after that. This intensified the party struggle in the Ming Dynasty, and some people said that this was an important reason for the fall of the Ming Dynasty, which seems to be not unreasonable.

After that, the old Fu King lived in Luoyang, the descendants of the Wanli Emperor, relying on the emperor's favor and the power of Zheng Guifei, did whatever he wanted in Luoyang, sat in Luoyang for decades, rich and rivaled the country, but the Fu King father and son were rich and unkind, and searched everywhere for the people's fat and people's ointment, their father and son's fat meat is proof, others are starving to death, but they eat so fat, so after Li Zicheng broke Luoyang, he divided up his huge family property, caught Lao Fu Wang, killed him, and then got a few deer from the backyard, and even the meat of Lao Fu Wang was boiled in the pot, It was given to the soldiers to eat, and this is the famous Fulu feast in history.

Lin Yi knows all these historical materials, and Emperor Chongzhen has become a poor ghost. Since this Fu Wang is so rich that he is definitely richer than the emperor, why not take this opportunity to knock him out? Although Lao Tzu is now forced to work for you to drive away thieves, at least you have to pay for protection, and Lao Tzu can't work for you in vain!

Thinking of this, Lin Yi asked the soldiers to wait here, immediately returned to the tent, ordered someone to take pens, ink, paper and inkstones, thought about it a little, brushed a little bit, and wrote a letter. Now Lin Yi has also learned to write with a brush, after all, he has been traveling for a few years, following the customs, he can't find a hard pen without a brush, forcing him to practice words when he has nothing to do.

Of course, this letter was written to Yang Sichang, no matter what, Lin Yi couldn't ask King Fu for money directly, although he was the God of Wealth, although he came up with the money in the end, but Lin Yi asked the Ministry of War for money It was natural for Yang Sichang to ask King Fu for silver.

As for Lin Yi's reasons for asking for money, there are a lot of them, what mountains are high and the roads are far away, the grain and grass cannot be helped, the grain and grass for more than 20,000 people and horses must be raised on the ground, and in addition, the first battle of the tiger's mouth, the casualties of the commanders, and the lack of doctors and medicines in the army, all of which require money, which is equivalent to a total of one million taels of silver.

When he saw Lin Yi write out and ask Yang Sichang for the amount of one million taels of silver, Zhezhe didn't react, and Xiaoying stuck out his tongue.

"1,000,000 taels of silver? Brother Lin, with so much money, what should he do if he doesn't give it to us? Is it less important, how much can you want? ”

Zhang Hua said: "Some of these corrupt officials have money, and I think adults will be less." If he doesn't give him something to do, we won't fight for him, and the lives of more than 10,000 people and horses are gone, and they don't even want to pay this money, so it's okay, let these thieves capture Nanyang, and then attack Luoyang, then we don't care. ”

"You kid was wrong this time." Lin Yi glanced at Zhang Hua, Zhang Hua was scared, Lin Yi said: "The current King Fu must be frightened, two years ago, Li Zicheng tossed in Fengyangfeng, Anhui Province, burned the emperor's mausoleum, and dug up the ancestral graves of their Zhu family, and now Li Zicheng is close to his Luoyang, can this old boy not be afraid?" As long as we win this battle, even if we only take down a county seat, King Fu will give us the silver because he feels safe to give us the silver, and the money is worth it. If, on the contrary, we are like Zhu Dadian, Hu David and others, and we have also suffered defeats, Lao Fu Wang will definitely not give us the silver, he is not willing to give it, and he thinks it is not worth it. Besides, we won the battle, Yang Sichang can speak for us, ask King Fu for silver, his nephew Emperor Chongzhen has no silver now, he, who is an uncle, is rich, who will not pay? ”

"My lord is so right, I'm really a pig's brain." Zhang Hua touched his head and smiled embarrassedly.

After the letter was written, Lin Yi read it again, there were no mistakes, embellished with the words 100,000 urgent, and then signed his name and date on the payment. Then a stamp was used. After the ink was blown dry, it was packed in an urgent envelope of 500 li, and the words "Yang Sichang, the Cabinet Lord", were written on the cover.

Then he handed the letter to Zhang Hua, asked him to take a few shrewd entourages to Luoyang for a personal trip, and told him to hand over the letter to him personally after seeing Yang Sichang.

"No." Zhang Hua agreed, packed the letter, and took a few people to fly away.

Then Lin Yi ordered Xiaoying and Zhezhe to let the two of them take the women's battalion and give them a special task, and explained a few words, and after the two received the order, they also left with more than 60 women's battalion Pegasus.

He then ordered Yang Fang's five battalions to stay, and the 3,000 men and horses were responsible for guarding his base camp. Then Lin Yi took the guard battalion and the other two battalions, a total of three battalions, out of the big camp and went north to the direction of Neixiang.

After shouting for two days along the way, eight or nine thousand men and horses bluffed, and the distance of more than 20 miles was soon killed under the inner countryside.

At this time, the two generals under Li Zicheng, Liu Fangliang and Yuan Zongdi, were responsible for guarding the inner countryside, with a total of 3,000 soldiers and horses. After they were ordered by Li Zicheng and Liu Zongmin, when they saw that Lin Yi's brigade was killed, they hurriedly withdrew the 3,000 men and horses into the city, and put on a look that they did not dare to fight with the official army, intending to defend the small city to the death, and intended to let Li Zicheng's men and horses attack the city on a large scale.

In fact, the city has already been fully prepared, not to mention that thousands of men and horses came to attack, even if dozens of red-coated cannons were pulled, they didn't want to capture this city for half a day.

For the moat has been widened and deepened, and the walls have been heightened and thickened, and all the gates have been replaced with iron, and drawbridges have been erected. On the top of the city, rolling logs, stones, bows and arrows, and other weapons to defend the city were piled up, as well as firearms such as firearms that they captured from the officers and soldiers, and the muzzles of the black holes were aimed at the officers and soldiers outside the city, and the city was already a strong barrier.

Lin Yi has already sent someone to find out, and now Lin Yi, who is sitting on a horse, is a few hundred meters away from this city, and he can see it very clearly.

At this time, he ordered the team to stop, waving the flag and shouting that it was not to attack the city. A few of the musketeers in front of them raised their guns and put a few shots on the city? I don't know if it's playing or not, the white smoke dissipates with the wind.

At this time, Liu Fangliang and Yuan Zongdi on the head of the city could see it clearly, the two of them were wearing helmets and armor, fully armed, standing on the head of the city, watching the movements of the officials and troops below.

At the beginning, the two of them were very happy, and when they saw Lin Yi's men and horses rushing over, the two of them looked at each other proudly and smiled, our chief whistle Liu Ye is powerful, and all of a sudden the officers and soldiers were fooled. If they attack Xichuan or Xinye, it will be a little difficult to do, and they will come to attack the inner countryside, which is of course the best. They can't capture the city, Xinye's men and horses and Xichuan men and horses have been killed, the two armies are squeezed in the middle, and we will kill them from the city, and this official army will be attacked on their backs.

At this time, even if the king of Nanyang City and Mr. Liu do not send troops, just our three teams can eat them, and this can wash the humiliation of the defeat of the tiger's mouth for Li Guo, if he can meet the traitor who returned Hao Shaoqi, he must be dismantled in eight pieces to relieve the hatred in his heart.

Liu Fangliang and Yuan Zongdi were happy in their hearts, and Lin Yi's men and horses suddenly stopped rushing forward, about five or six hundred meters away from the moat. If you don't rush forward, the bows and arrows and firearms in the city can't reach them, and the two of them look at each other and are stunned, what's the matter?

After waiting for a long time, the men and horses of the officers and soldiers still stood still, just waving their flags and shouting, some shooting arrows into the sky, and some indiscriminately putting a few guns, and the movement was quite large.

"Damn, they bullied us and didn't dare to fight, let me go out and lead them to attack the city!" Yuan Zongdi couldn't stand it anymore, his eyes were like buns, and a pair of iron whips in his hands were sweating.

Liu Fangliang shook his head, "No! Have you forgotten the king's commands? We want to hold the city, and only when there is chaos behind their ranks, we will kill them. Regardless of them now, going out at this time will be a big deal, they love to toss as much as they want below, the more fierce they toss, the faster Xinye and Xichuan people come. ”

Yuan Zongdi thought that what Liu Fangliang said was reasonable, anyway, Lin Yi's team had already been fooled, and it was only a matter of time before the whole army was annihilated. As long as the men and horses of Makino and Xichuan come over, they will open the city and rush out.

But what the two of them saw was even more annoying that the officers and soldiers outside the city shouted for a while, and when they were tired, they sat down to rest, some lay down, some sit, talked and laughed, talked nonsense, talked about the mountains, and simply regarded the thieves in the city as nothing. After the officers and soldiers rested, they still shouted outside the city.

"Rush, kill, don't let the thieves escape...... Whoosh, swish, smack, smack......"

Even shouting and shouting, some of them fired arrows, some of them released guns, and some of them tossed very fiercely, but the men and horses stood still and did not move at all.

Brother Yuan Zong, Liu Fangliang these thieves, in my heart, you just do it below, it won't take half an hour, the people and horses of Xinye and Xichuan will be killed, and then let you know that we are not shrinking turtles, kill and kill you personally, let you know that I am waiting!

Lin Yi's seven or eight thousand men and horses were so tossed in the inner countryside and city, and there were already thieves who explored the horses and reported them to the thieves in Xichuan County and Xinye County.

Li Guo's father and son who guarded Xichuan, Gao Yigong and Tian Jianxiu who guarded Xinye, and the four generals were waiting for this news.

Of course, they now know that Lin Yi's men and horses did not attack Xichuan and Xinye on both sides, but directly attacked the inner countryside between Xichuan and Xinye, which is of course the best for them, it seems that this battle surnamed Lin is bound to fail, and if it is not done, it will be annihilated.

The happiest are, of course, Li Guo's father and son, who are bent on avenging the defeat of the tigers, and they also want to catch Hao Shaoqi, a traitor.

Therefore, the two of them have been prepared for a long time. Tanmalai reported that Lin Yi's men and horses over there had already attacked the city on a large scale. There were a total of 6,000 thieves in these two counties, and the four generals came out with a nest and went straight to the rear of Lin Yi's team to kill.

The distance between these three county towns is dozens of miles from each other, so these two teams of men and horses have reached the range of the county in the inner countryside in the blink of an eye.

Here, as soon as the thieves from the two places left the city, Lin Yi received a report.

Lin Yi immediately ordered that Gan Bao's standard battalion was responsible for dealing with the thieves from Xinye, and Lin Yi was taking more than 1,000 guard battalions to deal with the thieves from Xichuan. Dongsheng's musket battalion remained in the inner countryside, and as soon as the men and horses in the city came out, the musket battalion immediately retreated.

When the two bands of the thieves arrived, their three battalions acted immediately.

The officers and men of the three battalions are all ready, and so far, everything is developing according to Lin Yi's plan.

The shouts from the east and west came from far and near, like a tide. Lin Yi knew that it was time to act, and ordered: "The musket battalion is ready to act, and the third battalion and the guard battalion will attack!"
