Chapter 60: Prisoners

It was now noon, Yang Lin invited everyone to dine, everyone thought it was a small stove alone, who knew that Yang Lin took everyone outside the big tent, there were three tables on it, and there were more than 20 below.

As soon as everyone sat down, more than 300 soldiers rushed in, and everyone stood neatly and shouted loudly: "Eat the people's food, wear the people's clothes, and keep the people safe." ”

Yang Lin stood up, walked to the front and ordered the meal to be served, everyone sat down together, and then devoured it.

Seeing that everyone was eating very quickly, Long Wenguang looked quite puzzled, pointed and asked: "Ruzhen, why did the soldiers eat so quickly, the whole meal was like a fight, this, this is too strange." ”

Yang Lin pointed to the incense next to him and said: "My lord Mingjian, in order to train soldiers, the last general stipulates that the meal time in the army is half a pillar of incense, as long as the time comes, no one can eat it, and everyone will leave immediately." ”

Pointing to the only three or five dishes on the table, Shi Jinchen, the prefect of Shunqing, looked quite impatient and complained: "You Yang Lin is really too domineering, and all other departments are ushered in to send big fish and meat, and when you Pengzhou soldiers not only eat and live with the soldiers, but also the same as grabbing water and rice (in the old days, it was described as a hungry ghost grabbing water and rice), and they couldn't eat enough at all." ”

Yang Lin smiled bitterly: "Adults are guests, if you are not in this case, you can continue to eat and drink without any problem."

But Lin, as the commander of the Pengzhou garrison, should be no different from the soldiers. ”

Long Wenguang looked at the fellow officials with a cold face and said: "Follow the customs of the locals, so as not to let outsiders gossip, as if everyone has never eaten." ”

Immediately ignored Yang Lin's admonition and lowered his head to eat.

The incense burned out, the bell rang, everyone put down their rice bowls, and everyone stood up and came out.

Taking advantage of the man's efforts to add vegetables and rice, Long Wenguang also led everyone to watch, and saw that there were two meat dishes on each table, three ingredients, one sauerkraut and one soup, and all they ate were white rice.

Pointing to the food on the table, Long Wenguang asked, "Ruzhen, do you eat this on weekdays?" ”

Yang Lin replied: "Back to my lord, on weekdays, I am a meat, one sauerkraut, three vegetarian and one soup, and today the adult came to the school, and the last general specially added a meat dish in order to let the soldiers know the kindness of the adult." ”

Shi Jinchen next to him shook his head and said: "The life of this Pengzhou soldier is also too good, Hong Wuye warned the officials with three dishes and one soup, I didn't expect that your Pengzhou soldiers actually use meat and three vegetables and one soup, which is better than receiving officials." ”

Yang Lin said with a smile: "Lord Hui, officials don't exercise much in a day, and soldiers need to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, and they need to go to the battlefield to fight hard." ”

Shi Jinchen opened his mouth, stopped talking, and didn't say anything more.

In the afternoon of the same day, the drills of the various brigades, the volley of muskets, the throwing of thunder from the sky, the excavation of fortifications, the wall of success, the running exercises, etc., are all incomprehensible.

That night, he talked with Long Wenguangche in the big tent late at night, and Yang Lin knew everything and had nothing to hide.

When it comes to the war in eastern Sichuan, Yang Lin believes that Kuimen is lost and the Kou Chang drove in, and now although the official army is blocking the front line of Liangshan and Wanxian, the place of the decisive battle between the two sides should be in Qianqing.

For the sake of today's plan, the entire Sichuan army should be gathered on the front line in the east of Sichuan to block the Liukou long drive into the hinterland.

The next day, he set off to send Daotai Long Wenguang, and along the way, he saw that the Daotai Yamen's personal soldiers were clearly armored, and all of them carried short knives and sharp blades.

Long Wenguang was sitting on his horse, and suddenly said, "Yang Lin has trained his troops well, and has repeatedly made meritorious contributions to Governor Chen and this Daotai.

From now on, the Pengzhou soldiers returned to the Shunqing Prefecture Garrison Mansion to control it. ”

Yang Lin was shocked, and he didn't react at half-sound, and said for a long time: "Lord Daotai and his teacher are in love, and the end will be grateful to Dade."

Although there are few soldiers in Pengzhou, they are also elite, or they will assign one or two things to the generals, and it will not be too late to hit the road. ”

Next to him, Chen Yingrui urged on the grounds that he was busy with military affairs, and asked to go on the road immediately without stopping.

Feeling more and more that something was wrong, Yang Lin said angrily: "It was originally a happy event to sponsor military affairs at the governor's yamen, but you are urging you to be so urgent, there is a promotion, and this is obviously a dismissal." ”

Everyone was stunned, and Chen Yingrui suddenly laughed and said: "You nerd has finally opened your mind, and you didn't fight much and half-poured water, so you think that you are Zhuge Kongming alive?"

You think it's a promotion to your official, but this is to remove your official.

Now that the local officials and squires have impeached you one after another, the governor of the Daotai did not arrest you on the spot because he thought that talents were rare, but you were not only ashamed, but instead put on the appearance of Zhuge Kongming alive, and taught the governor to use troops to order the generals. ”

Yang Lin suddenly realized, the whole person sweated like rain, thinking of the story of Yuan Chonghuan and Mao Wenlong, he hurriedly knelt down and said to forgive: "Lord Daotai Mingjian, although the last general is young and arrogant, but the last general Gongsheng was born and is familiar with the number of saints, and he should understand the truth of serving the country with loyalty."

The last general is bent on maintaining local peace, and the last general is bent on exterminating the local tyrants, and the last general really doesn't know who he offended to slander the last general so much, and now he wants to remove the official and punish the crime. ”

The following generals also panicked, and everyone knelt down and begged loudly: "My lord, Mr. Qian is a rare Qing official is a good official, don't be deceived by the villain, blame Mr. Qian." ”

Long Wenguang sighed: "The old man didn't want to break it, thinking that there was still room for a big event, but now that the matter is clear, the old man has nothing to hide."

In the past few months, local officials and local squires have been reporting you to the governor's yamen and the Taoist yamen.

These squires and imperial historians said that you Yang Lin changed the ancestral system, what township office was established in the locality, and appointed the chief and the official to expropriate in the local area, saying that the chief of the security can receive more than 30 taels of silver a year, and the official can receive 20 taels of silver.

said that you hid money on the battlefield and did not report it, and you were greedy for public funds.

said that you Yang Lin was rampant and domineering in the local area, openly bullied local officials such as Zhizhou and Zhixian, sheltered disaster victims in the local area, and fished the squire.

Some people even say that last year, Houjiazhuang was eaten by a large family, which was planned by you.

Said that you, Yang Lin, invited merit in the local area, sent soldiers and horses to the mountains to hunt, disturbed the gods, and corrupted local customs.

said that you, Yang Lin, disturbed the people in the local area, and the noise of the training soldiers could be heard for miles every day.

Some people even say that you invite meritorious places, train troops day and night, and coerce places, for fear of causing military disasters.

Although some of these are exaggerated, I dare not fail to check them as a member of the imperial court. ”

Yang Lin was shocked, everything else can be refuted, this place of inviting merit, training day and night to coerce the army, this is not possible to prove his innocence at all, it seems that the other party is trying his best to put himself to death this time.

Thinking of this, Yang Lin cried with tears in his eyes: "My lord, the last general's heart and heart are all serious, some of these things are chasing the wind and catching shadows, and some are blatant slander."

It is not surprising that the last general will suffer a little grievance, as long as he goes to the Yamen to refute it, it does not hurt.

Now the Liukou soldiers are pressing the border and approaching Qianqing, and the last general is worried that Qianqing is not guaranteed, so Zhang Xianzhong's hundreds of thousands of troops will inevitably drive straight into our Shu land, if that is the case, thousands of miles of fertile land, millions of people in the Ming Dynasty will be miserable. ”

Chen Yingrui sarcastically said: "Who do you think you are, except for carrots, you don't have to eat?"

There are a lot of famous generals in Sichuan Province, and I can't rank you, as if I want to occupy Sichuan except for you.

My lord, Yang Lin has always harbored evil intentions, if not, why didn't he dare to go to the Yamen to make it clear? ”

Long Wenguang sighed and said, "Yang Lin, this official came here only to arrest you on an order.

I hope you don't openly disobey orders and make big mistakes, so there is still a little room for turnaround. ”

Liao Qifang said angrily: "Mr. Qian is loyal, he is a rare clean official, last time he was slandered and beaten into a trick by the dog official Li Yitian, this time you still want to wronged a good person."

You, you don't distinguish between evil and loyalty, and you can't let you take Master Qian away like this today. ”

Chen Yingrui said with a smile: "Although your Pengzhou soldiers boast of being elite, there are two hundred elite soldiers of the imperial court here, and there are thousands of soldiers and horses under the general soldier Liu Jiayin ten miles away, do you want to kill yourself by hitting the stone with an egg?" ”

Everyone was in a commotion, Yang Lin saw that there were elite soldiers and strong generals from the Daotai Yamen everywhere, they had already prepared, and they were prepared if they were unprepared, and if the conflict was unprepared, they would undoubtedly lose.

Different from other dynasties, the middle and late Ming Dynasty completely used literature to control the military, and most of these literati were nerds, although they did not know the soldiers, but they memorized the military books one by one.

What will be disregarded by the foreign king's life, what kind of murder will be powerful, this is the heavenly rule that these nerds believe in.

This is also the reason why the soldiers and horses of Phi Dao did not obey slightly, and that Yuan Chonghuan dared to go deep into Phi Dao to kill Mao Wenlong.

Thinking of Yuan Chonghuan and Mao Wenlong, Yang Lin was stunned in his heart, knelt down and cried: "Brothers, as the saying goes, the king and the minister have to die.

Ladies and gentlemen, I don't believe that villains can cover the sky with one hand, brothers, don't forget our original intention. ”

Unlike Yuan Chonghuan to Mao Wenlong, Long Wenguang of North Sichuan Province went deep into the military camp to arrest Yang Lin this time, mainly because of the impeachment of Yushi, this time he just wanted to grind his water chestnut, and he had no intention of harming him at all.

Now seeing that Yang Lin is so popular with the army and the people, some soldiers are actually preparing to openly rob prisoners, although they are quite angry in their hearts, they are also afraid of provoking a mutiny.
