Chapter 63: Replenishment of the Army
The next day was in a daze in the cell, and the cell nodded and said that someone had met, not as fierce as last year, and said that this friend was too generous, and he would pay 2 taels of silver as soon as he made a move.
Yang Linzheng wondered how He had met such a rich son, and it was surprising that He Gongzi was followed by him.
Looking at the other party's appearance, thinking of the male pets that prevailed in the Ming Dynasty, although Yang Lin felt disgusted, he had not experienced any storms in his previous life, so he hurriedly got up to express his gratitude.
He Gongzi arched his hand and said: "Brother Yang, you, your lawsuit should be fine, not to mention that the villagers who heard the trial yesterday shouted for you loudly, and it won't be a big deal." ”
Yang Lin's expression was gloomy, and he shook his head and said: "It's a big deal to dismiss the officials, these imperial histories think that they have written two eight-strand essays, and they are sanctimonious on the surface, but they actually don't understand the world at all, and they are even more odious and collude with corrupt officials and corrupt officials to become other people's thugs." ”
The other party was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "What Brother Yang said is reasonable, a lot of imperial history is just chasing the wind and shadows."
In the opinion of the younger brother, you are not only innocent, but also meritorious, don't be afraid of them, what's the big deal if a thousand always loses, if Brother Yang is willing, I can seek a great future for Brother Yang. ”
The provincial city hides the dragon and the crouching tiger, although this He Gongzi did not say it explicitly, but as soon as he saw his clothes, he knew that the eunuchs were in the house, and Yang Lin thanked him repeatedly.
Although men steal and prostitutes secretly, on the surface, the officials of the Ming Dynasty feel righteous and awe-inspiring, and they gain a reputation in the local officialdom, as long as they have a reputation, they can become big officials, just like Hai Rui during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty.
Last year, only Wang Guangxian occasionally visited the prison and sent a little silver tael, but after being released from prison, Yang Lin successfully attacked the ancient city and helped the official army to recover Pengzhou.
As soon as He Gongzi left, someone came to visit, and the prison rushed to announce with a smile on his face that Sichuan Xie Yuan and Zou Jianchen were visiting.
Back then, the two sides had a relationship, but after all, they participated in the township examination in the same year, one was in high school Xie Yuan, and the other was listed as a deputy tribute student, which was nothing in the previous life, but it was a great friendship at the end of the Ming Dynasty. (Those who are in the same year will be called the same year, and they will support each other in their careers, which is similar to that of their classmates in their previous lives.) )
Now I heard that Yang Lin had a lawsuit because he opposed the government's expropriation and extortion, and of course he came to visit the prison as the first place in the township examination that year.
After discussing the revolutionary friendship, they immediately attacked the current politics together, the Ming Dynasty was very open, as long as the emperor was not criticized, it was not a big deal, and it was understood that this time it was purely to get rid of the maladministration and offend the officials to go to prison, Zou Jianchen claimed that it was, and bluntly said that the husband should be like this in the world.
In the evening of that day, Shi Song Wenyi, the head of the yamen, came to the side of the cell intentionally or unintentionally, and sighed: "Your arms can't reach your thighs, why do you bother doing this?"
Originally, I was supposed to make the lords intend to forgive, but you didn't do this against them, and you were afraid that you would get into trouble when the time came. ”
Looking at the other party's emaciated figure and appearance, Yang Lin smiled and said: "As the saying goes, mourning is greater than heart death, your Mr. Song is not in blood now, and his heart is dead, of course." ”
Touching his long beard, Song Wenyi laughed and said: "It's really a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, and you are naturally arrogant when you are young and have won the tribute at a young age."
Unspoken rules? That's a great description, but why do you say it when you know it's an unspoken rule? If there are unspoken rules, why do you insist on offending so many people? ”
At first, Song Wenyi thought that the other party was unwise, but after listening to Yang Lin's explanation, he knew that it might provoke a popular uprising, and if there was a mutiny, the soldiers could not suppress it.
When the two of them talked about each other, Song Wenyi couldn't imagine that such a young junior was so well-informed, and many things were clear at a glance, and Yang Lin was also impressed by the other party.
After that, there were more and more prison visits, some people simply visited the prison to make friends, and some people heard that Yang Lin was good at arguing and wanted to argue with the other party, but often returned in vain.
But no matter whether they came with great momentum at the first time, or they humbly asked for advice, in the end, they all knew that Yang Lin had offended the government because he opposed the expropriation and arbitrary apportionment.
Wu Dazhu was still sad at first, but after three or five days, the rain passed and the sky was clear, and Yang Lin's reputation was greatly shaken during his imprisonment.
In addition, the most worrying thing is the change in the external situation, Li Zicheng is now entrenched in Shaanxi, and he is raising troops to march north to Beijing.
Zhang Xianzhong led his troops into Sichuan, which is now blocked by the official army.
Especially today, He Gongzi hurried over and announced that the imperial court would depose Chen Shiqi from the post of governor of Sichuan, and the posthumous post would be represented (acting) by Long Wenguang, the military preparation of northern Sichuan.
Yang Lin was anxious, but helpless.
After staying in the cell for half a month, he was pulled to the court again on April 20, and he did not talk about the case at all, and Wang Yushi announced the verdict in court.
Hearing that he had been beaten for 30 years and was sentenced to Yunnan for ten years, Yang Lin shouted and was unconvinced.
Yu Shi sneered: "Bold criminal officer Yang Lin, you blatantly violated the decree of Taizu, you violated the law of the Ming Dynasty, and you should have been beheaded for the crime, but the local squires jointly interceded, and Liu Jiayin, Yang Zhan, Zhao Ronggui, Cao Xun and other generals even jointly protected each other, so they only beat you, deprived you of your fame, and sentenced you to exile as an army." ”
Yang Lin roared: "You mage, you only know how to chase the wind and kill good people, you have the ability to punish those corrupt officials and corrupt officials, you bully the soft and fear the hard, you collude with corrupt officials and corrupt officials, you are convicted of me today, and I don't accept the crime you want to add to it." ”
Everyone in the hall also shouted loudly, even if Yang Lin interfered with Yousi as an official, at most he was deprived of his fame and dismissed the official, but this imperial history not only deprived him of his fame and dismissed the official, but also played a board and exiled thousands of miles away, so the punishment was too dark.
More than a dozen officials rushed over and pressed Yang Lin on top of the lobby.
After the beating, several officials dragged back to the hall with sticks, staring at the dying prisoner, Wang Yushi slapped the shocked wood and said: "Prisoner Yang Lin, this master is punished, do you accept it or not?" ”
Yang Lin complained bitterly, how could he dare to shout disobedience under the punishment? I wanted to admit it in my heart, but the people of the Ming Dynasty paid special attention to integrity, how would the deceased look if the reputation of being soft came out?
Thinking of this, Yang Lin sneered, but the other party refused to let go at all, and asked sharply: "Prisoner Yang Lin, this master is punished, do you accept it or not?" ”
Suppressing the anger in his heart, Yang Lin said angrily: "Wang Yushi, you are worthy of the surname Wang, as an imperial history, don't you even know if you meet a soldier?" ”
Xiucai couldn't explain it when he met Bing, and when he heard the other party say this, Wang Yushi said angrily: "You still have clever words to defend yourself in the lobby, it seems that you are indeed inferior." ”
Suppressing the anger in his heart, Yang Lin sneered: "My lord, reason has traveled all over the world, and it is difficult to move an inch without reason. As long as you are not afraid of the people poking your backbone, you can decide the case as you want to solve the difficulty.
If you want to convince me, or let the public think that you are impartial, then remove the officials and thugs, and let the people judge for themselves.
If you are not afraid of losing face and losing face, you can also go to a CD university hall and let everyone comment on theory, and when you see it, I will not tear off the moral disguise on your body, so that people know that you are really ugly. ”
Wang Yushi has already seen the other party's tongue skills, if it weren't for this, he wouldn't have directly pronounced the verdict according to the script as soon as he went to court, and now he heard that the other party was going to debate publicly, and he was quite annoyed in his heart, and he just said that the other party was clever and good at demagoguery.
Although Yang Lin was quite aggrieved, he didn't dare to provoke the other party, seeing that the other party was like this, he just forcibly stood up, and he didn't lose the battle.
Wang Yushi summoned Wang Sangou, a servant, and asked him to take two people to send Yang Lin to Yunnan to fill the army.
Thrown back to the cell by two servants, Yang Lin was covered in sweat and his wounds were painful.
Staying alone in the cell for half an hour, as if the whole world had forgotten itself again, he finally waited for Wu Dazhu to put on the plaster and relieve the pain a little.
In the afternoon, He Gongzifang sent gold sore medicine, and heard that he begged a friend for a plaster from the Shu Palace, Yang Lin didn't believe it at first, and the pain of the plaster on his buttocks was greatly reduced.
Thinking of the massacre of Sichuan in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, Yang Lin smiled bitterly: "Today's grace, if there is a chance, the younger brother will be reciprocated by a spring."
Now that Li Zicheng's army is approaching Beijing, Zhang Xianzhong is even more coveting the wealth of Sichuan, although CD is the country of abundance, the future tragedy should be worse than the Mongol massacre in the late Southern Song Dynasty.
Brother He, now Sichuan is a place of right and wrong, listen to my words can leave the family far away, and never stay in the river to suffer. ”
Obviously stunned and in disbelief, He Gongzi shook his head again and again and said, "This, how is this possible?" I have 100,000 strong troops in Sichuan, with enough soldiers and food, and the generals use their lives, how can Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong and others poison it? ”
Yang Lin persuaded him repeatedly, but the other party just didn't listen.
