Chapter 408 Zuo Liangyu and Gao Jie Today's first update is 5,000 words
Gao Guiying and Li Yan took the generals out of the city to pick up a few miles, and many generals saw Lin Yi for the first time. Like what Zuo Liangyu, Gao Jie, Liu Liangzuo, Li Chengdong, etc.
Now Lin Yi's reputation is a thunderous world, or it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a day.
There are many people who want to witness this legendary god-level existence with their own eyes, including Zuo Liangyu, Gao Jie, Liu Liangzuo, Li Chengdong, Xu Dingguo, etc., these historical figures at the end of the Ming Dynasty.
Gao Guiying and Li Yan have been fighting against the Dashun army with them for a year or two.
Among these hundreds of thousands of horses, of course, there are many people who deal with Lin Yi.
One of them was Liu Zeqing, a warlord from Shandong. During this period, Liu Zeqing and Gao Jie, Zuo Liangyu, Liu Liangzuo, etc., have told the legendary story of himself and Lin Yi more than once, and more about the legendary grievances between him and Lin Yi.
Of course, Liu Zeqing had seen Lin Yi, but it was still when he was fighting in Junzhou and Yunyang, when Emperor Chongzhen was still alive, and the most popular policy was the 4 Zheng 6 corners and 10 faces of the military department Shangshu Yang Sichang's strategy of opening a net to concentrate all the soldiers and horses of the Ming Dynasty, intending to wipe out Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong. In this context, Lin Yi and Liu Zeqing both took their headquarters to act.
At that time, Liu Zeqing and Lin Yi were both chief military officers, and the two were equal in rank, and even Liu Zeqing, the chief military officer, was half a head higher than Lin Yi, the chief military officer of Miyun, because of his old qualifications and deep experience, and his influence was much greater.
In the Yunyang area, Lin Yi had just exterminated the giant bandit Luo Rucai, and his prestige was shocked, and he met this Liu Zeqing at that time.
At that time, Liu Zeqing relied on the old and sold the old, and he was not convinced by this fledgling generation in his eyes at all, and there were several other chief military officers at that time, of course, there were many people who were not afraid of the big thing, Liu Zeqing was jealous of Lin Yi's great military exploits, and wanted to play a scoundrel, compete for the results, and cross the Baishui River to attack Lin Yi's soldiers and horses.
As a result, Lin Yi's generals didn't listen to him at all, like Erhu, Wang Qi, and Dongsheng, all of whom were beaten and beaten.
As a result, the two sides clashed, many people were killed and wounded, the two general officers had tens of thousands of troops, and the Chen soldiers were on the banks of the Baishui River, and the war was about to break out.
Due to the mediation of the chief military officers, Liu Zeqing set up a Hongmen banquet, and Lin Yi went to the banquet as promised, not only propping Liu Zeqing up, but also slaughtering his monkeys.
Later, the lawsuit of the two chief military officers was fought to Yang Shichang of the Ministry of War, Liu Zeqing thought that Yang Shichang, who was in the chest, even commented that Liu Zecheng was unreasonable, and Liu Zeqing lost his soldiers and lost face in that battle, and he also hated Lin Yi.
But later, driven by the general trend, Liu Zeqing finally had no choice, he had to belong to Lin Yi's command.
Therefore, in comparison, he had the deepest impression of Lin Yi.
Fighting for one's life at the same table before a banquet, who can compare to such impressions and adventures?
Therefore, after Emperor Chongzhen hanged himself, Lin Yi became the eunuch of the daimyo and held great power. Even the crown prince Zhu Cihong retreated and took the initiative to give way to Lin Yi, and others like cabinet ministers, eunuchs in the inner court, warlord bosses, feudal officials, etc., could only go with the flow.
After these people joined Lin Yi, they all listened to Gao Guiying and Li Yan according to Lin Yi's orders, and unanimously dealt with Zhang Xianzhong's Great Western Army.
During this period, Liu Zeqing took his festival with Lin Yi as the capital to show off, and talked exaggeratedly, to Zuo Liangyu, Liu Liangzuo, Gao Jie, Li Chengdong, Xu Dingguo, etc., adding fuel and vinegar to the things of the year, talking about the eyebrows flying and dancing, and the spitting stars flying around, so as to gain the capital admired by the generals.
Of course, Liu Zeqing will also brag, exaggerate and exaggerate, shrink and shrink, in order to highlight himself and Lin Yi, this experience is full of dangers, thrilling and dangerous, and the legendary can write a novel.
After listening to this, some of these bigwigs in the army were admired, some were envious, some were suspicious, and they had any expression.
"It's really so amazing, Lin Yi is really so awesome?"
But their common wish is when they will be able to see Lin Yi in person, which has become their common wish.
But today I finally met the real person. Sure enough, it is a talent, Qiyu Xuanang!
Gao Guiying, Li Yan and others knelt down to greet Lin Yi, Lin Yi asked them to excuse themselves, and after greetings, they took Lin Yi into Chengdu like stars holding the moon.
Chengdu can also be called a thousand-year-old city, with a collection of humanities, whether it is in the past life or the present life, Lin Yi has never been here.
Today is the first time, the thick city walls, quaint buildings, and the bricks and stones of the city wall with turquoise moss at the bottom are full of historical precipitation.
After entering the city, the people of the city also received the letter. At present, due to the war, the number of ordinary people in this area has decreased sharply, some of them have fled into the mountains and old forests to escape the war, some have left their hometowns to join relatives and friends in other places, and some have taken refuge in the cities.
When I heard that Lord Jianguo was coming in person, everyone wanted to open their eyes.
But the streets and alleys of the city are all the troops of the Ming Dynasty, and these ordinary people can only hide in their own homes, some of them dig the walls, some go up trees, and some of them secretly look at this powerful figure who turned the tide and turned the tide in the collapse of the building and the general collapse.
Some of them were bold, in order to see their eyes, and they were afraid that they would be found out by the Ming army and convicted of voyeurism and assassination, so they secretly climbed to the slope of the house, held their breath, and watched quietly.
Groups of soldiers and generals on the street were neatly organized, with bright armor and high spirits.
When they saw Lin Yi riding a yellow horse and being fully armed, including those generals who had never seen Lin Yi, their eyes widened one by one.
Then came the exclamation: this person, this knife, this horse, is simply incomparable!
Then the 100,000 troops brought by Lin Yi drove into the city.
The equipment of the 100,000 horses brought by Lin Yi is definitely excellent, and the men and horses under Gao Guiying also have old warlords such as Zuo Liangyu, Huang Degong, and Gao Jie, and their equipment is a bit ancient in comparison.
The generals have seen the red-coat cannon, but they have never seen thousands of camels, and what they have never seen is that the camels still have advanced weapons such as camel cannons.
There is also an advanced weapon, that is, the self-generated flintlock pistol, these old armies are embarrassed to see those brand new self-generated flintlock pistols, but they can't see the arquebus above, and there is a small mechanism under the butt.
Some have heard of this kind of gun, but they have never seen it, and some have never even heard of it, but this time it is an eye-opener, and they all cast envious eyes.
These old generals of the Ming Dynasty all looked at Lin Yi's army with blank eyes, as if they were holding a military parade to display advanced weapons, looking at other people's equipment, and then looking at the equipment in their own hands, this is probably the difference between the central army and the local army!
Therefore, these old Ming soldiers pointed and talked one by one, and they all cast envious eyes.
Seeing this, these soldiers under Lin Yi, whether they were the standard battalion, the invincible battalion, the women's battalion, the guard battalion and other battalions, were all very honored to raise their heads and stride forward, with supreme glory and pride on their expressions.
After all, being envied by others is also a kind of happiness!
There were already more than 100,000 horses in the city, plus the 100,000 troops brought by Lin Yi, and the Ming army gathered in Chengdu exceeded 200,000.
Back in the Shuaifu, Gao Guiying and Li Yan reported to Lin Yi in detail about the battle situation during this period, and then said: "The subordinates are incompetent, please condemn the prisoner."
Of course Lin Yi will not treat their crimes, Lin Yi knows that their opponents are really difficult, otherwise you would not go out in person, and Gao Guiying and Li Yan have won and lost in the past two years, and on the whole, the military achievements are still prominent, they won Chengdu, and most of Sichuan was photovoltaic, as for the reason for the defeat in front of them, the so-called victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, and there has been no great commander who has not defeated the battle since ancient times.
Therefore, instead of blaming, Lin Yi praised them.
How to deal with the enemy, Lin Yi had already done it in his heart at this time.
Through Gao Guiying and Li Yan, Lin Yi knew that the main reason for their defeat was because the elephant army in Burma was difficult to deal with.
Because the war horse is against the elephant, the elephant will collapse as soon as the war horse is threatened, and the infantry will not be able to resist it.
Li Yan They do have red-coated cannons and muskets, but the mobility of red-coated cannons is too poor, although the power of red-coated cannons is great, but they are mainly used for attacking fortified positions, and it is impossible for these elephant troops to stand there without moving, so that the red-coated cannons are aimed and bombed.
In addition, the Ming army here is mainly the old Ming army, they are still equipped with cold weapons, and there are a lot of muskets, most of them are old-fashioned firecrackers, bird guns, three-eyed guns, old-fashioned arquebuses, and there is no new-style self-generated flintlock pistol, so the power is very limited.
The new self-generated flintlock pistol was mainly equipped with Lin Yi's descendants and the deployment of Sangong Jiangyin, which fought in the Nanjing area, mainly to fight against the Zheng family's army, and it had not yet had time to equip this army in the southwest, after all, it was not socialized large-scale production in that era, and the production capacity was limited.
Know yourself and know your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles.
After Lin Yi figured out the strength of the two sides, he began to divide his troops and send generals.
If you want to defeat the opponent's elephant army, you must first draw this army out. Of course, this army will not be out all the time, and that will be a target for the cannons in the red.
This elephant army is also the trump card of the Burmese army, they have been specially trained for many years, and have invested a lot of manpower, material and financial resources, all of which are at the critical time of need, this team will pull out a blow to win, and in the case that other armies can win, they will not easily use this team.
But what is certain is that this team must be among the team of Sun Kewang opposite. Although Sun Kewang and Mu Tianbo are both wise and brave, and their troops are also brave and good at fighting, if it were not for this elephant army to help them, they might not be able to beat Gao Guiying and Li Yan's team.
At critical times, they will take out this elephant army and use it as a killer weapon. Therefore, when Gao Guiying and Li Yan, the Ming army, fought against them, they had bitterness and suffered defeats repeatedly.
After Lin Yi discussed with Gao Guiying, Li Yan, Song Xiance and others, he decided that he had to send a team to lure the enemy and try his best to lure the opponent's elephant army out.
The choice of this bait must be carefully considered, although it is to lure the enemy, but the strength must not be too weak, otherwise this bait is likely to be eaten by the other party, and it will not play the role of luring the enemy.
The volunteers sent must be brave and strategic, know how to advance and retreat, and cannot be a martial artist.
Therefore, Lin Yi already had a candidate in his heart, and after the signal of the promotion of the general was issued, the commanders of each battalion and the chief and adjutant in charge of more than 5,000 people soon all arrived, of course, there were men, women, and scholars.
Lin Yi sat in the middle of the tent, civil officials such as Song Xiance and Li Yan, and female generals stood on one side, and the rest of the generals stood on the other side.
The girl standing in the handsome tent is full of climbing, it is really a heroic female general, a majestic male general, and civil officials like Song Xiance and Li Yan are also upright and look up, looking at Lin Yi with confident eyes on their faces, looking confident.
If a person or part of the people is suppressed for too long, they may go crazy, like the hundreds of thousands of horses under Gao Guiying and Li Yan, which can be described as strong soldiers and horses, and generals are like clouds.
Whether it is Li Zicheng's old department, like Li Guo, Li Laiheng, Liu Fangliang, Yuan Zongdi, Gao Yigong, Tian Jianxiu.
Or those old warlords of the Ming Dynasty, what Zuo Liangyu, Huang Degong, Gao Jie, Liu Liangzuo, Liu Zeqing, Li Chengdong, etc.
is also a military general trained by Lin Yi, such as Zu Keyong, Xiaoying, Zhezhe, Zhang Hua, Wang Qi, Dongsheng, etc.
All of them are full of energy, their eyes are bright, their chests are high, and their waists are straight.
Lin Yi looked at it, and his gaze fell on several people.
The first is Wuchang Hou Zuo Liangyu, this person is one of the influential figures in the late Ming Dynasty, as a warlord of a town, he is much stronger than any warlord of the four towns in Jiangbei, so his influence on the Ming Dynasty is also much far-reaching.
On the eve of Chongzhen's hanging in history, this duke was named the Earl of Ningnan, the title is second only to Hou and Wangye, it is said that the soldiers and horses under his command exceeded 800,000 at the most, not to mention 800,000, that is, with 400,000 elite soldiers, there is absolutely no problem in defending Jiangnan against the Tartars.
Because the Manchu Tartars even counted the Mongols, Han Chinese, and Koreans, the army of the Qing Dynasty when it entered the south was only more than 200,000, and the real Manchu Tartars were only more than 100,000. How does such a team get in? How to dominate the Central Plains and dominate the world? Even if it is Emperor Chongzhen and the Ming Dynasty, no matter how incompetent they are, the civil and military officials are all talented, stupid, and mediocre, and they will not be able to defeat ten with one against ten, or even one against hundred!
However, hundreds of thousands, or even millions of Ming troops in Jiangnan were vulnerable. Especially after Zuo Liangyu had hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses for breakfast, he didn't go to fight against the Manchu Tartars, but wanted to clear the king's side.
After Zuo Liangyu died of illness in Jiujiang, his son Zuo Mengeng led an army of 200,000 and surrendered 10,000 Qing troops without moving a knife or a shot, which became a joke.
This is definitely a stain on the life of Zuo Liangyu's father and son, and it is also a shame for the Ming Dynasty.
But now the history of their father and son has also changed because of Lin Yi's crossing, and now they are responsible for bringing their soldiers and horses, and they are all loyal to the Ming court, that is to say, they have not rebelled for any reason or excuse.
Lin Yi saw Zuo Liangyu and Zuo Menggeng's father and son, and then nodded.
Then Lin Yi's eyes fell on a person, this person was Gao Jie, and he mentioned that this person was also a powerful figure in the last years of the Ming Dynasty.
He was originally Li Zicheng's subordinate, and Li Zicheng was a fellow villager, and it is said that the two of them were born like death, and once worshiped eight brothers. Later, their thieves became bigger and bigger, and they had tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and Li Zicheng took over the baton from Gao Yingxiang and was also called the king.
Gao Jie became Li Zicheng's right-hand man who could fight habitually.
But at this time, the problem arose, because the Ming army was in a hurry, and one of the main generals of the Ming army was He Renlong. He was an official of the imperial court, but he was also a fellow countryman of Li Zicheng and Gao Jie. Li Zicheng wrote a handwritten letter, intending to ask Gao Jie to convince him.
As a result, the letter was missing, and Li Zicheng suspected that Gao Jie had transferred him from the front to the rear. Now Gao Jie has the opportunity to contact Li Zicheng's second wife, Xing.
At that time, the Xing family was also in charge of military supplies in the rear, and there were more opportunities for the two of them to come into contact.
I don't know what the reason is, Li Zicheng's wives are all beautiful and second-hand, and the same is true of this second lady Xing.
Xing's appearance is as beautiful as a flower, and his age is good, and he is in the prime of his life. This Gao Jie is tall and handsome, and he is more manly than Li Zicheng. At least in Xing's eyes.
Just like this, the two of them hooked up with each other, took off their pants with the people on their backs, and the firewood was blazing.
But afterwards, they were afraid that the paper would not be able to hold the fire, so the two betrayed Li Zicheng and surrendered to the official army as soon as they discussed. This is recorded in history.
It can be seen from this historical fact that Gao Jie is by no means an incompetent person who can only mess with flowers and grass, be merry and happy, and flirt with women.
On the contrary, he is a figure who is both civil and military, wise and brave. Otherwise, the nickname of the mountain harrier would not be his turn, and he could get the commander's wife, and his ability was by no means ordinary.
It was only because he was relatively short-lived, and he was booby-trapped by his generals in history, so Gao Jie came to an end.
Otherwise, the history of the late Ming Dynasty has such a character as him, maybe it will be more exciting.
Now because of Lin Yi's crossing, his historical fate has also changed. He did not go to the Southern Ming Dynasty to support Zhu Yousong as emperor, nor was he killed by his subordinate general Xu Dingguo. Now Xu Dingguo is under his hands, and Gao Jie still regards him as a confidant.
After watching Zuo Liangyu and Gao Jie, Lin Yi made up his mind in his heart, as for Liu Zeqing and Liu Liangzuo in the back, Lin Yi was a little disdainful.
After taking a final look, Linyi's eyes still fell on Zuo Liangyu and Gao Jie's faces.
"Commander Zuo? Tall Commander? ”
"The subordinates are here. The end will be! ”
Zuo Liangyu and Gao Jie heard Lin Yi call their names, so they hurriedly came out of the queue and bowed up to salute.
"Dapo Sun Kewang is expected to be in this battle, this prison country orders the two of you to lead the troops and horses, go out of the city tomorrow to kill the enemy, the first battle will be won, there must be no mistakes."
“……”
Zuo Liangyu and Gao Jie looked at each other, complaining bitterly in their hearts.
Lin Yi saw the two of them hesitating, and added: "If you encounter their elephant army, you will be defeated and retreat quickly, and this prison army has its own strategy to break the enemy."
"No, no." These two generals received their orders.
Song Xiance and Li Yan both saw this scene, but Lin Yi was dividing the troops and sending them to say much.
How do you know that Lin Yi will not divide these two generals after assigning them, and after Zuo Liangyu and Gao Jie left, Lin Yi ordered the account to be dispersed.
Song Xiance and Li Yan were restless, and anxiously, they dragged Lin Yi to a place where no one was, and whispered for a long time.
Lin Yi laughed after hearing this, the two of you don't have to worry, Lin has his own strategy.
