Go back to the end of the Ming Dynasty to be a soldier

Chapter 24
Zu Keyong led more than 1000 people from the Sanchakou Guardhouse and marched towards the Gyeonggi area. The purpose was to join the newly transferred Shanda Miyun Governor Lu Xiangsheng's troops to drive out the Tartars and guard Gyeonggi.To put it bluntly, they are also a team of diligent kings.

Thirty or forty miles south of the guardhouse are two villages, East Village and West Village, which are the two villages that the thieves like Man Tianxing once attacked.

The rough road goes to Yangchang, passing between two villages.

The sun is getting higher and higher, and the weather is getting hotter.

The captain of the guard, Tian Heng, saluted Zu Keyong: "My lord, it's too hot, take a rest here, there are two villages in front, I'll let someone go wash them to honor your lord."

Burning houses, raping women, and looting property, their army did a lot of things along the way.

Before Zu Keyong could speak, Lin Yi said decisively: "My lord, you must not! We are the army of the imperial court. If we attack villages and bully the people, what is the difference between them and thieves?"

Lin Yi's words were astonishing, and Tian Hengke choked.

"Bold!" Tian Heng stared at his wolf eyes and shot two fierce rays of light, "President Benbai was talking to Mr. Guerrilla, is it your turn to intervene? Lin, you don't know who you are when you become the Chief Banner Officer Bar?"

Lin Yi was neither humble nor overbearing, and responded with righteous words: "My lord, I don't intend to contradict you. The duty of a soldier is to fight to defend the homeland, not to rob and plunder the common people."

Lin Yi's words were astonishing. Although he was speaking outrightly, but the first-level officials crushed people, how many dared to speak like this to their immediate superiors?

Tian Heng was furious and shouted: "Come here, let him know the rules of our team!"

Tian Heng is the captain of Zu Keyong's guard. Among the more than 1000 people, Zu Keyong is the boss and he is the second child. In many cases, he gives orders on behalf of Zu Keyong, and Zu Keyong usually obeys him. It can be said that this is a one-of-a-kind character.

Chief Banner Officer Lin Yi was at best his deputy, and Lin Yi was about to confront him. How could Tian Heng stand the sight of everyone?
Of course, more than 100 people in Zu Keyong's guard listened to Tian Heng, the leader, and when they came, they surrounded Lin Yi, their newcomer who had just taken office, and glared at each of them. up.

Ji Dong's expression is calm, he despises these people, he is not afraid of Mr. Guerrilla losing his temper, let alone a mere hundred boss?You must stick to yourself and plead for the people, even at the expense of your life and blood!

"Who dares to touch Master Lin! Where did Master Lin say something wrong?"

After a few roars, Xiaoying, Erhu, He Tao, Dongsheng, Zhang Hua, Wang Qi and other soldiers from the old Eight Banners stood in front of Lin Yi with their swords and guns.

It wasn't just a few of them, they took the lead, the newly recruited prisoners of the Eighth Banner, and the dozens of captive soldiers of the other banners all took out their swords and guns to support Ji Dong.

Dozens of soldiers confronted Tian Heng's subordinates, their swords were on the verge of breaking out, and the battle was imminent.

The soldiers were about to mutiny and fight among themselves. Dawang was overjoyed when he saw the situation.

The kid surnamed Lin is really funny, and he is on the same level with Mr. Bai again. There are really a group of desperate buddies under him, but so what, does the little arm really want to twist the thigh?Just toss it, toss it to a certain extent, the guerrilla general can't bear it anymore, and he will clean you up, so I won't have to worry about it.

Thinking of this, he wished that the two sides would fight, and the bigger the trouble, the better. He didn't believe that the captain of the guard of a guerrilla general couldn't deal with his subordinate chief banner officer. The general must be partial to Tian Heng, the captain of his guard.

Lin Yi and Guerrilla General are newcomers and have just met each other. Tian Heng has been with Guerrilla General for so many years.

"Stop!" At this moment, the guerrilla general roared, "What are you doing, what's wrong with you?"

"You all back down." Lin Yi lowered his face and scolded in a low voice. He Tao, Erhu, Xiaoying, Dongsheng and others put away their weapons.

Tian Heng had no choice but to retreat from his subordinates, put away his weapons and whips, gave Lin Yi a hard look, and then looked at Zu Keyong.

Zu Keyong said: "Zongqi Lin is right. We are the army of the imperial court, not bandits. We must strictly enforce military discipline. Otherwise, we will be blamed by the top. "

Tian Heng was taken aback when he heard the words. In any case, he never expected that the guerrilla general who had always trusted him and obeyed his words, now listened to Lin Yi's words and refuted him. Who is whose superior?I have followed the guerrilla general for so many years, but I am not as good as a newcomer chief banner officer?
Tian Heng hesitated a little, but met the sharp and unquestionable gaze of the guerrilla general, and he quickly bowed to answer: "The villain obeys."

Then he turned around and shouted loudly to the more than 1000 generals: "The general has an order. From now on, military discipline will be strictly enforced. No disturbance to the people will be allowed. Anyone who disobeys the order will be executed!"

This thousand troops are used to laziness. They burned, killed, and looted all the way. Suddenly they received such an order, as if they didn't understand it. They are not allowed to burn houses, rob things, and play with women. How can it be done?Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, as if there was suddenly no oil, salt, sauce and vinegar for dinner.

Seeing that there was no response from below, Tian Heng rolled his eyes and shouted: "Damn it, didn't you hear?"

These people quickly answered in unison, shouting like thunder: "Follow the general's orders."

After walking for several miles, this army was smoldering in the sun, and now I heard that robbers are not allowed to play with women, and all of them became sick and lost their vitality. It is hard to imagine that this is Daming Ning Yuan Army, one of the most elite troops.

The guerrilla general's horse didn't want to go forward either, and ordered to rest on the spot.The soldiers were in twos and threes in the shade of the trees beside the road, some were lying down, some were sitting, some were leaning on them, and some were leaning on them.They took off their helmets as fans, untied their armor, and some exposed their chests.

Several soldiers were playing fans for Zu Keyong, Tian Heng and others.

The hard work of the pommel horse on the marching road is vividly reflected in the images of these soldiers.

However, this kind of suffering of soldiers and horses, for Lin Yi, who has experience in special forces, is not a hardship at all.

Under the shade of the tree, Ji Dong was still neatly dressed, and with a waist knife, he was still standing near the guerrilla general and was on standby at any time.

Xiaoying followed Lin Yi closely, thin beads of sweat oozing from her fat-like forehead, making her look whiter and whiter, her jet-black hair slightly protruding from the helmet, her grape-like eyes flickering, making her look even brighter .

Zhang Hua, He Tao, Dong Sheng, and Wang Qi, the old soldiers of the Eight Banners, some ran for Lin Yi, and some fanned him.

This is Dawang quietly approaching Tian Heng: "Master Baizong, please take a step to speak."

The two walked a few steps to the side, seeing that no one was paying attention to them, Dawang lowered his voice, "My lord, I am familiar with this area, let me go out tonight to beat the teeth and serve the lord. We are going to work hard, so thank you So what's the point? Strict military discipline, not to disturb the people, is definitely not the general's intention, what is his surname Lin?"

"Relying on my own good skills, I had another piece of shit luck and made some contributions. Even the guerrilla general and Mr. Baizong don't pay attention to it. It's really abhorrent!"

"He dubs his hats at every turn, saying that we are the army of the imperial court. What about the responsibility of the soldiers? What about him? He talked about girls and killed people. He killed hundreds of people in one night, and then pretended to be merciful. , Let these people go, spare them from death, give them favors, and recruit them, isn’t it tricky to buy people’s hearts? Being a whore and setting up a memorial archway, the person surnamed Lin is a hypocrite!”

Dawang really deserves to be a person who can speak well. This mouth can turn straw into gold bars, and dead people can make him talk alive. He shakes his head and spit stars when he speaks. They hit it off, worked together, and finally the two became like dogs.

After resting for more than half an hour, the team continued to move forward.

In this way, they walked more than 80 miles on the first day. Seeing that the sun was setting to the west, Tian Heng suggested that Zu Keyong set up camp on the spot and start on the road tomorrow.

Zu Keyong on the horse looked at the sky, there was still some time before it got dark, here was a small hill, and after turning over this small hill, there was a small river like jade, and it happened to set up a camp on the small hill , After walking for such a day, he also felt a little tired, so he agreed.

In fact, this place is less than 40 miles away from East Village and West Village, less than half an hour's journey on horseback. Dawang and Tian Heng had already planned to make plans for these two villages. They just walked from one side of the village to the other side of the village. Just one side.

In addition, Dawang's scheming is deeper, not in looting a few villages and robbing a few women, but putting all his thoughts on cleaning up Ji Dong. After leaving Xiaoying, she was still beaten up in the mud pond, in full view, how could he swallow this breath!
More than 1000 generals, some of them set up camp, and the Huotou army buried pots to make food.Curls of cooking smoke rose in the wilderness, and the meal was ready before it was dark, and the camp over there was also settled.

dinner's ready.Xiaoying held a bowl and got together with Lin Yi, eating with gusto.He Tao, Wang Qi, Dong Sheng and Er Hu got together.

Among the old Eighth Banners, Zhang Hua is the least popular. This person has a razor-sharp face and snake waist, mainly because he has been with the traitor Gao Yong before, and he is lustful. In the village, he often went to the acupuncture point and did not return home at night in the village. It was common for him to sleep with women, and sometimes he was too courageous than the old Baihu Zhang Cheng.

In view of his bad deeds, no one usually wants to form a gang with him, and he finds it boring to eat alone, so he was just about to approach Er Hu, He Tao and others with a bowl, but Da Wang seized the opportunity and rushed over , "Brother Zhang, this way..."

Zhang Huan took a look, "Hey, Qin Qichang, what's your order?"

"What orders do you and my brother talk about? Don't be a leader of the flag, there is a good thing..." The king smiled secretly, and he and Zhang Hua went to a place alone to squat down, and the two talked while eating.
