Seventy-six The Farmer and the Snake
Heavy rain comes and goes as fast as it comes, and this drizzling rain often falls endlessly.
An army-green Dongfeng truck drove in the rain on the post road from Fengyang to Hubei, although the road was slightly muddy, but it was flat and wide, and there was no need to worry about traffic jams, so it maintained a steady pace of 40 kilometers per hour.
"Stop the car, I want that." Gu Jinxi covered his lower abdomen, and embarrassedly pouted towards the grove in the distance.
Lin Yu understood, stepped on the brake and stopped on the side of the road: "Do you want me to accompany you?" ”
"Humph!"
Gu Jinxi glanced at Lin Yu with disgust, and flew into the grove with a scimitar and an umbrella.
He had been driving southwest for more than four hours, and the odometer showed that he had driven more than one hundred and fifty kilometers, and the long-term driving made Lin Yu a little tired, so he took advantage of Gu Jinxi's absence to enter the palm shopping store to buy something.
First spent 200 gold coins to buy a pack of filter cigarettes and lighters, then spent 1,000 gold coins to buy four cans of Red Bull, and finally bought ten packs of ham sausages to treat the brothers in the back.
Lin Yu in his previous life didn't have much of a habit of smoking, but he only occasionally came to one when he was tired, if it wasn't for the exhaustion caused by continuous running, Lin Yu couldn't remember to smoke and refresh himself.
The clock on the center console showed that it was half past five in the afternoon, and it was already very dark because of the continuous rain.
Lin Yu got off the car and came to the back compartment and threw eight bags of ham sausages: "Soldiers, give you some imported products to improve your food." ”
Most of these soldiers were illiterate, so they naturally did not understand the meaning of "imported goods", but they knew that they were eating.
After thanking each person, he opened the plastic bag and stuffed it into his mouth, Lin Yu hurriedly stopped: "Hey...... If you don't eat it like this, you have to peel off the outer wrapping film. ”
Under Lin Yu's demonstration, these veterans learned the correct way to eat, and they all ate with relish, "Dudu, it's delicious!" ”
Lin Yu flicked the cigarette ash between his fingers, and said coolly: "In the future, follow Bendu, and you will eat and drink spicy food." ”
It's raining, and it's a comical scene of a man in ancient costume, holding a modern umbrella and a cigarette between his fingers, standing in front of a military truck and talking to a group of soldiers.
Seeing the smoke coming out of Lin Yu's mouth, these soldiers were all stunned, but they didn't dare to ask more.
In their eyes, this governor is becoming more and more mysterious, and his skills are difficult to fathom, as unfathomable as an abyss.
"Sleep in the car when you have enough to eat and drink, and give me a good level of energy and ready to fight." Lin Yu elegantly popped out the cigarette butt and commanded.
Deng Yan agreed: "Don't worry, sitting in the car is much more comfortable than rushing on foot, and the distance we have to travel in two hours is enough for us to march for three or four days." ”
Seeing Gu Jinxi returning with an umbrella, Lin Yu stepped forward and motioned for her to come and drive, and he rested in the co-pilot for a while.
Gu Jinxi had already seen the itching, and immediately excitedly got into the cab to ignite and start, put the gear on the accelerator, and the vehicle slowly hit the road again.
"Ahem......"
Gu Jinxi was choked by the smoke and coughed incessantly, glaring at Lin Yu, "What are you eating?" Choking to death! ”
Lin Yu was amused and laughed dumbly, and shook the cigarette in his hand: "This is called a cigarette, do you eat one?" ”
Gu Jinxi kept using his hands to disperse the smoke wafting in: "I'm about to choke people to death, so I won't eat it!" ”
Seeing Miss Gu's uncomfortable appearance, Lin Yu had no choice but to open half of the car window: "This is a good thing, you can't ruin the heavens." ”
Gu Jinxi didn't have much interest in this thing, so he turned on the lights according to Lin Yu's prompts and hurried all night.
The drizzle did not mean to stop for a day, but became heavier and heavier, and it fell on the roof of the car with a "crackling" sound.
Gu Jinxi was a little worried: "Shall we find a place to shelter from the rain and wait for the rain to stop before leaving?" ”
Lin Yu looked at the map in his hand, shook his head and said, "We have just passed Hefei now, we must hurry as soon as possible, if it is too late, Li Zicheng will die." ”
"How do you know?" Gu Jinji naturally won't take it seriously.
Lin Yu closed the car window: "Guess, Li Zicheng is about to enter Jiugong Mountain, he has a bold personality, and he is likely to go out to scout in person." And the people of Jiugong Mountain are fierce, and they hate the thieves to the core, and Li Zicheng will die at the hands of the mountain people. ”
"Then you are in a hurry to save him?"
Lin Yu shook his head: "If I don't save it, I want to wait for Li Zicheng to die, and then snatch back his body." ”
"I don't understand."
Gu Jinxi was confused, and she was not interested in strategy or anything, so she didn't ask more questions and drove with peace of mind.
Lin Yu clasped his arms to his chest, closed his eyes and fell into deep thought.
Before leaving, Lin Yu had thought about rescuing Li Zicheng from the Ghost Gate Pass, and then facilitating the alliance between the Southern Ming Dynasty and the Dashun Army, using the Dashun Army to drag Azig's Western Route Army, so that the Southern Ming Dynasty would avoid being attacked from both sides.
But after careful consideration along the way, Lin Yu had a new idea.
What the Southern Ming court needed was the Dashun army, not Li Zicheng, the Dashun emperor. In that case, then why leave this tyrant in the world and let him become a reviving poisonous snake that will bite him in the future?
"I almost raised a tiger!"
Lin Yu sighed in his heart, it seemed that his strategy was still insufficient.
was able to organize an anti-Ming army of millions of people with the identity of a postman, and buried the foundation of the Ming Dynasty for 270 years, forcing Chongzhen to hang himself on the coal mountain, which shows that this Li Zicheng is definitely a hero in troubled times.
Maybe it's Li Zicheng's bad luck, maybe it's one thing down one thing, the current Li Zicheng was forced to the end of the road by the Qing army, but if he let this hero slow down, maybe he will become a fierce rival on his way to hegemony in the future.
In that case, then why let Li Zicheng live in this world?
"When Li Zicheng is dead, I will snatch back his corpse, and then collect his remnants, wouldn't it be for nothing to pick up a soldier and horse?"
Thinking of this, Lin Yu suddenly became excited, this is more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, even if he can attract half of them, it is enough to increase his strength.
Among the various warlords in the Southern Ming Dynasty, there were not a few who changed from the peasant army to the imperial army, and Gao Jie was one of the representatives.
In normal history, after Li Zicheng was buried in Jiugong Mountain, his subordinates were absorbed by He Tengjiao, the governor of Huguang in the Southern Ming Dynasty, and became a strong anti-Qing force.
In that case, why don't you strike first and win this team under your command?
With Zhang Ada as a guide, he was not afraid of getting lost, and the truck arrived in Tongcheng in the middle of the night in the rain.
Looking at the odometer, it has already traveled 270 kilometers, and there are still more than 400 kilometers away from the Tongcheng Jiugong Mountain where Li Zicheng died in history, and there are still two days left, so it is completely possible to catch up with the start of the show.
Lin Yu decided to rest in the middle of the night and then hurried, and drove all the way to the Tongcheng Gate, and it took a long time to open the city gate.
The magistrate of Tongcheng heard that a big man was coming, and hurriedly took the county lieutenant and the chief bookkeeper to greet him in the rain, and set up a banquet to entertain him, "The governor has worked hard to resist the Qing Dynasty, and the lower officials have prepared a little thin wine for you and the soldiers to catch the wind." ”
The road was dusty, and he was already exhausted, and Lin Yu did not refuse.
With more than a dozen soldiers under his command, he ate a full meal, and then stayed at the Tongcheng Post House, preparing to continue his journey early tomorrow morning.
