"Haha...... Presumably this is the governor of Lin Zhenjiang, right? Huang Degong is so polite! ”

With a hearty laugh, Huang Degong, surrounded by Wei Guangdong, Xu Gongji and others, went to the gate of the camp to greet this famous young governor.

Lin Yu looked Huang Degong up and down as fast as he could, and saw that he was about forty years old, with a Chinese face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, a burly figure, a full drape, and walking like the wind.

And Huang Degong also looked Lin Yu up and down, seventeen or eighteen years old, slightly shorter than himself, although his appearance is not as good as Yushu, he is also thoughtful, if he is placed in the crowd, it is not inconspicuous at all.

Who would have thought that this was the man of the hour who broke the Jiannu in Yangzhou, killed nearly 10,000 enemies, and rose from a deputy garrison to the governor in just a few days?

"I have admired the name of Jingnanhou for a long time, Lin Zhenjiang has returned the courtesy!"

Lin Yu returned the salute with his fists, calmly and calmly, without the restraint of Fang Guoan and Zheng Hongkui when they saw the big guys, it was completely an exchange between the same level.

And in fact, it is true, you Huang Degong is the Jingnan Marquis and Zuo Zhuguo of Zhengyi, it is true; But I am also the new governor of Fengyang and the chief military officer of Jianghuai, and I wear the sword of Shang Fang, and I am not much inferior to you in commanding the troops to aid Fengyang.

In terms of troops, you Huang Degong has 100,000 people, and I Lin Zhenjiang also has 80,000 people, and there are ironclad cars, trucks and all kinds of firearms that transcend the era, and I am not inferior to you in terms of strength.

"Lin Dudu is young and promising, he is really a rising star, you and I meet for the first time, when we are drunk!"

Huang Degong and Lin Yu were side by side, Wei Guangdong, Xu Gongji and others were behind, they came to the Shuai tent and sat down according to their positions, and sent people to recruit Fang Guoan and Zheng Hongkui to raise a glass and drink together.

After a glass of wine, Huang Degong asked: "I am very much in favor of Lin Dudu's strategy of expelling the captives, I don't know what the result will be when you go to Hubei to contact Li Zicheng this time?" ”

"Needless to say, Li Zicheng is now at the end of his crossbow, and he is chased by the Tartars like a rat crossing the street, and he can be pardoned by the imperial court, Li Zicheng is afraid that he will be thankful!" Wei Guangdong took a sip of the wine in the glass and said.

Zhu Youliang turned the wine glass in his hand hatefully: "It's really cheap Li Zao'er, this dog thief, let him force Emperor Sizong to death, and plundered in Beijing City, and he was addicted to the emperor, but in the end he was safe, it's really cheap for him!" ”

Lin Yu sent people to 800 miles to urgently report the news of Li Zicheng's death in Jiugong Mountain to Nanjing, and Ma Shiying, in order to provoke the relationship between Lin Yu and Shi Kefa, sent someone to copy a copy of the meaning of asking Shi Kefa.

In addition to these people, there are not many people who know the news of Li Zicheng's death, and Huang Degong, Wei Guangdong and others have no idea

Lin Yu put down his chopsticks and smiled knowingly, because he knew that this news would definitely shock everyone present.

"Li Zicheng is dead."

"Li Zicheng is dead?"

"No, when did it happen?"

"Although Li Zicheng has been defeated repeatedly, there are at least 100,000 horses under his hands, and it is not easy for the Tartars to kill him, right?"

Sure enough, as Lin Yu expected, as soon as his words fell, there was an uproar in the handsome tent, and it almost exploded.

In the eyes of these Ming Dynasty officers, there was some subconscious fear of Li Zicheng, which was due to the conditioned reflex formed by the long-term defeat at the hands of the Dashun army.

Although the Dashun army was vulnerable in front of the Qing army, and was driven around the country like a dog, they were able to bully the Ming army, beat the army of the Ming court, and even captured Beijing, forcing Emperor Chongzhen to hang himself.

Lin Yu concisely explained the reason for Li Zicheng's death, and told everyone that Li Zicheng took eighteen horses to Jiugong Mountain to explore the road, but died under the hoe of the villagers of Chengjiazhuang.

“……”

Lin Yu's voice fell, not only was he speechless.

Someone wants to laugh, someone wants to cry, someone doesn't know whether to cry or laugh?

No one thought that they would never dream that this troubled hero who had buried the Ming Dynasty would end his vigorous life with such a funny ending.

The Manchu red-clothed cannons did not kill him, and the muskets and arrows of the Ming Dynasty failed to kill him, but in the end he died under the hoe of a villager whose name he didn't even know, which is really ironic.

After a sigh, Huang Degong raised his glass and toasted to Lin Yu, "Li Zicheng is dead, so where did the men and horses under his command go?" Did you go to Shu and defect to Zhang Xianzhong, or did you plan to accept the court's recruitment? ”

Lin Yu raised his glass and drank it all: "All of them have been recruited by me, and from now on, they will be the men and horses under the command of this governor, a full 150,000 people!" ”

Anyway, you don't have to pay taxes to brag, Zuo Liangyu's more than 200,000 people can blow it to 800,000, and it doesn't hurt to blow a calf yourself.

As soon as Lin Yu's words fell, everyone present changed their faces, no one expected that this young man would go to Hubei and recruit 150,000 people, turning into the strongest warlord in the Southern Ming Dynasty.

"Your Majesty allowed the governor to open the government to govern affairs, reform the military system, and recruit soldiers, so the governor incorporated Li Zicheng's descendants."

Lin Yu smiled slightly, got up and pointed to the map behind him to analyze the situation in Hunan: "The Tartars are about to cross the river to attack Hunan, Governor Yuan Jixian and Governor He Tengjiao escaped from Zuo Mengeng's men by luck and have rushed to Changsha to raise troops and horses.

In order to alleviate the pressure on Changsha, the governor had ordered Li Guo, Gao Yigong and others to fight guerrillas on Jiugong Mountain, harassing the Qing army's rear defense, so that they could not attack Changsha with all their might.

As long as the Tartars can't take Hunan, they can't attack Nanjing along the Yangtze River, and we won't have to worry about the future. You can concentrate all your strength on the decisive battle with Duoduo, frustrate its edge, and relieve the siege of Fengyang. ”

At this moment, a thousand households guarding the camp hurriedly came to report: "Oh no, General Liu Zhaoji came from Yangzhou with more than 1,000 defeated soldiers, and urgently asked to see Lin Dudu and Jingnan Hou." ”

"Quickly bring Mr. Liu to the tent!"

Lin Yu suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart, Liu Zhaoji suddenly led the remnants of the army to Fengyang in the middle of the night, it shouldn't be to support him, just the soldiers and horses in Yangzhou City are not enough to stuff his teeth!

Could it be that Yangzhou was captured by the Qing army?

If this is the case, Shi Kefa, Hou Fangyu and others can't take care of their lives or deaths, but his wife Jiang Ruhua, as well as his sister-in-law Lin Yang and his two sisters-in-law and nephews and nieces are all in Yangzhou City.

Thinking of this, Lin Yu's brain was dazed for a while, and his throat was a little dry.

knew this was the case, why did he let Dillon and Hu Bao go all the way to Jinan to take them to Yangzhou, it was really better to be a human being!

Huang Degong, Wei Guangdong and others were silent, and they could guess with their toes that Yangzhou was lost, otherwise Liu Zhaoji would not have taken thousands of people from Yangzhou to Fengyang.
