Seventy-six The Farmer and the Snake
Heavy rain comes and goes quickly, and this drizzle often falls endlessly.
An army-green east wind truck was driving on the post road from Fengyang to Hubei in the rain. Although the road was a little muddy, it was flat and wide, so there was no need to worry about traffic jams, so it kept moving steadily at a speed of 40 kilometers per hour.
"Stop the car, I want that." Gu Jinxi covered his lower abdomen and thrust into the little woods in the distance.
Lin Yu understood and stopped on the side of the road with the brakes: "Do you want me to accompany you?"
"snort!"
Gu Jinxi glanced at Lin Yu coquettishly, and flew into the woods like a scimitar holding an umbrella.
He had been driving southwest for more than four hours, and the odometer showed that he had been rushing for more than 150 kilometers. The long driving made Lin Yu a little tired, so he took advantage of Gu Jinxi's absence and entered the shopping store in the palm of his hand to buy something.
First, I spent 200 gold coins to buy a pack of filter cigarettes and lighters, and then spent 1,000 gold coins to buy four cans of Red Bull. Finally, I bought ten packs of ham sausage to reward my brothers behind me.
Lin Yu in his previous life was not very addicted to smoking, but he just occasionally came to him when he was tired. If it weren't for the continuous running and exhausted, Lin Yu wouldn't remember to smoke and refresh himself.
The clock on the center console shows that it is currently 5:30 pm. Because it is raining, it is already very dark.
Lin Yu got out of the car and came to the back carriage and threw eight bags of ham sausages into it: "Sirs, please give you some imported products to improve your food."
Most of these soldiers were ignorant of their eyes and naturally did not understand what "imported products" mean, but they knew that this was something to eat.
After thanking him, he opened the plastic bag and stuffed it into his mouth. Lin Yu hurriedly stopped him: "Hey... I don't eat this way, I have to peel off the packaging film outside."
Only under Lin Yu's demonstration did these veterans learn the correct way to eat, and they all ate steamed buns with relish, "Governor, delicious!"
Lin Yu bounced the ashes in his fingers and said coolly: "From the governor, I will make you enjoy the most delicious food."
It was raining and raining. A man in ancient costume held a modern umbrella with a cigarette between his fingers. He stood in front of a military truck and talked to a group of soldiers. This scene was a bit funny.
Looking at the misty smoke coming out of Lin Yu's mouth, the soldiers all looked shocked, but they did not dare to ask more questions.
In their eyes, the governor became more and more mysterious. His abilities were hard to figure out, and he was as unfathomable as an abyss.
"You have enough food and drink and sleep in the car, so you can keep my energy and be ready to fight at any time." Lin Yu ejected the cigarette butt gracefully and ordered.
Deng Yan agreed: "Don't worry, the governor is in a direct control. Sitting in the car is much more comfortable than hiking. The journey we have been rushing in these two hours is enough for us to march for three or four days."
Seeing Gu Jinxi returning with an umbrella, Lin Yu came forward and signaled her to drive, and he rested in the co-pilot for a while.
Gu Jinxi had been feeling itchy for a long time, and immediately got excited to enter the cab and start it up, stepped on the accelerator with gears, and the vehicle slowly set off on the road again.
"Ahem..."
Gu Jinxi was so choked by the lingering smoke that he kept coughing, and glared at Lin Yu, "What are you eating? It's choking to death!"
Lin Yu was amused and laughed, shaking the cigarette in his hand: "This is called a cigarette, do you eat one?"
Gu Jinxi kept dispelling the smoke coming with his hands: "I'm about to choke to death, so I won't eat it!"
Looking at Miss Gu's uncomfortable look, Lin Yu had to open half of the car window: "This is a good thing, you can't waste your resources."
Gu Jinxi was not very interested in this thing, so he activated the lights according to Lin Yu's prompt and rushed to the road overnight.
The drizzle fell for a day and did not mean to stop. Instead, it became heavier and heavier, making a "crackling" sound when it fell on the roof of the car.
Gu Jinxi was a little worried: "Why should we find a place to shelter from the rain and wait until the rain stops before leaving?"
Lin Yu looked at the map in his hand and shook his head and said, "We have just passed Hefei now. We must hurry up as soon as possible. If it is too late, Li Zicheng will die."
"How do you know?" Gu Jinxi naturally wouldn't take it seriously.
Lin Yu closed the car window: "I guess, Li Zicheng is fast entering Jiugong Mountain. He is aggressive and may go out to investigate in person. The people of Jiugong Mountain are tough and hate the bandits to the core. If they don't do it, Li Zicheng will die at the hands of the mountain people."
"Then are you in a hurry to save him?"
Lin Yu shook his head: "If I don't save me, I'm going to wait for Li Zicheng to die and then snatch his body back."
"not understand."
Gu Jinxi was confused and she was not interested in strategy, so she stopped asking more questions and drove with peace of mind.
Lin Yu hugged his arms in front of his chest, closed his eyes and fell into deep thought.
Before leaving, Lin Yu had thought of rescuing Li Zicheng from the Ghost Pass, and then facilitated the alliance between the Southern Ming court and the Dashun Army, and used the Dashun Army to drag down Ajige's Western Army, so that the Southern Ming court could avoid being attacked on 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 the Dashun emperor Li Zicheng. Since that was the case, why should I keep this hero in the world and turn him into a revived poisonous snake and bite him in the future?
"I almost raised a tiger and left a disaster!"
Lin Yu sighed in his heart, it seemed that his strategy was still insufficient.
Being able to organize an anti-Ming army of millions with the identity of a postman, ruining the 270-year foundation of the Ming Dynasty, forcing Chongzhen to hang himself in Coal Mountain, which shows that Li Zicheng is definitely a hero in troubled times.
Maybe it was because Li Zicheng was not lucky, maybe it was because he was defeated by one thing. Now Li Zicheng was forced to the end of his journey by the Qing army, but if this hero was relieved, he might become his strong enemy in the future.
Since this is the case, why do you still want Li Zicheng to live in this world?
"When Li Zicheng dies, I will steal his body and then collect his remains. Wouldn't I pick up a soldier for nothing?"
Thinking of this, Lin Yu suddenly became excited. These were more than 100,000 soldiers. Even if he could win over half of them, it would be enough to greatly increase his strength.
Among the warlords of the Southern Ming Dynasty, there were many people who changed from peasant army to court army, and Gao Jie was the representative of them.
In normal history, after Li Zicheng was buried in Jiugong Mountain, his subordinates were incorporated by He Tengjiao, the governor of Huguang of the Southern Ming Dynasty, and became a powerful anti-Qing brigade.
In this case, why don’t I take the initiative to win this team under my command?
With Zhang Ada as his guide, he was not afraid of getting lost. The truck drove in the rain and arrived in Tongcheng in the middle of the night.
Looking at the odometer, I have walked 270 kilometers, and it is still more than 400 kilometers away from Jiugong Mountain, Tongcheng where Li Zicheng died in history. There are still two days left, so I can catch up with the show.
Lin Yu decided to rest in the middle of the night before rushing to the outside of Tongcheng Gate. It took a long time to talk to open the city gate.
When the magistrate of Tongcheng heard that a big man had come, he hurriedly brought the county magistrate and the chief clerk to greet him in the rain and held a banquet to entertain him. "The governor worked hard to fight against the Qing Dynasty, and the subordinates prepared a little wine to welcome you to the soldiers."
The journey was dusty and exhausted, and Lin Yu did not refuse.
He took a dozen soldiers with him to eat and eat, and then stayed at Tongcheng Inn, preparing to continue his journey tomorrow morning.
