Seventy-seven saved a big man

After running around and staying up late, Lin Yu and his entourage were already exhausted and wished they could fall into their dreams.

However, the situation on both sides of the Yangtze River is currently turbulent. The Western Army led by the Qing Dynasty King Ajige was in charge of Wuchang. Shang Kexi, Obai, Tan Tai and other Qing generals divided their troops to attack prefectures and counties in Hubei, Anhui, Jiangxi and other places. There were countless local officials surrendering.

These local officials who were respectful just now cut off your head and went to the Qing Dynasty. Gao Jie, one of the four towns in Jiangbei, was lured and killed by Xu Dingguo in Suizhou. This is a living example.

Before going to bed, Lin Yu ordered Deng Yan to arrange four people to take turns to serve at night and not leave their posts without permission, so as not to become unjust dead in their sleep.

Deng Yan was not tall, but looked strong and capable. He clasped his fists and said, "Don't worry, the governor is in a straight line. I slept in the car during the day. I personally patrol at night. If there is any movement, I will never show any mercy under my gun."

Lin Yu was very satisfied with the statement of the small flag official. He turned around and went back to the inn to sleep. When he passed by Gu Jinxi's room, he knocked on the door and reminded: "Miss, we are not familiar with the place, so be careful at night."

"Isn't Tongcheng the territory of our Ming Dynasty?"

"Remember to be careful of others, especially in this chaotic world!"

Lin Yu warned and returned to the room, spent another 3,000 gold coins to buy an electronic watch that was the same as Gu Jinxi, and set the alarm clock at five o'clock tomorrow morning.

At first, Lin Yu was still listening to the movements outside the window, but soon he snored loudly and fell into a deep dream.

There was nothing wrong all night, and the drizzle of water did not stop after Lin Yu got up. He woke up his soldiers and hurriedly had breakfast and left the city before the county magistrate came to see him off.

Zhang Ada suggested: "The villain just asked in the inn, after Zuo Menggeng was defeated by Huang Degong, retreated from Wuhu to Anqing, sent troops to guard the important roads of Xiangdong and south, and surrendered to the British King of Tartars.

It is best to detour Nanyang and Huangmei when we go to Tongcheng, then cross the Yangtze River from Jiujiang, and then go to Ruichang, and Wuning can reach its destination."

Lin Yu nodded: "Zuo Menggeng has hundreds of thousands of soldiers and strong control power. We should indeed walk around. But Jiujiang’s important town is probably controlled by the Tartars. Our car is too conspicuous, so it is safer to go to a small place."

After leaving Lujiang Prefecture, there were more and more forks and the road surface became narrower. In order to avoid taking the wrong path, Lin Yu asked Zhang Ada to sit in the cab to lead the way and continue driving in the rain.

The continuous rainfall made the road more muddy, and the road conditions in the county were not as good as those in the state road, and the truck's speed dropped from 40 kilometers to 30 kilometers per hour, and it was not until noon that it arrived in Nanyang.

But even so, it took 360 miles in half a day, and even the fastest horse was beyond the reach of the speed.

When passing a fork in the road, a team of about 500 people suddenly came from the southeast. The armor seemed to be worn by Ming soldiers, but the flag clearly stated the word "left".

Lin Yu wanted to speed up and throw away the troops, but the opponent rushed up quickly and flocked to him under the guidance of dozens of cavalrymen.

"Treason, beat me hard!"

Lin Yu stepped on the accelerator and drove the truck to rush into the left army formation at high speed, immediately knocking over seven or eight people.

Gu Jinxi poked out a sniper rifle from the car window, aiming at the enemy's head with a black muzzle, almost without any mistakes, and the gun shot the head.

Deng Yan, who was sitting behind, held Thompson's submachine gun, and a shuttle of bullets shot out was like harvesting leeks. The blood of the left army splattered and the corpse rolled around.

The other soldiers were not outdone. They fired a rifle and two pistols at the same time, and threw two grenades in between. The soldiers who were blown up and turned dizzy.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the leading military officer plucked his horse and left, and the remaining soldiers ran away with their heads in their arms, leaving only a prison cart and fifty or sixty bloody corpses.

"Who are you waiting for?"

In the prison car stood a Ming Dynasty official about 40 years old, wearing a wet official robe, a fair-looking and medium-sized figure, and looked at the patterns in the middle of the official uniform. He seemed to be of a low grade.

Lin Yu jumped out of the car with an ambienteer, surrounded by seven or eight soldiers including Deng Yan and came to the prison car, looked up and down at the prisoner, and asked, "Dare you ask who is this? Where are you going to be taken by Zuo Jun?"

The official's eyes were firm and there was a hint of joy of living in despair: "Our official, the governor of Huguang, Yuan Jixian, was first carried by Zuo Liangyu and went south. After Zuo Liangyu died of illness, he was forced to surrender to the Qing Dynasty by his son Zuo Menggeng. He vowed not to obey. The left thief sent someone to send him to Wuchang to present him to Ajige for credit."

"It turned out to be Yuanbutang, and he was polite in Xialin Zhenjiang!" Lin Yu hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted.

Yuan Jixian was appointed as the governor of Huguang. He was a second-rank official of the dynasty, especially after being captured, he would rather die than surrender. His integrity was many times noble than Zuo Menggeng, Wu Sangui, Hong Chengchou and others. It was just as comparable to Shi Kefa, who died in Yangzhou.

In order to facilitate the convenience of doing things, Lin Yu and his entourage all wore casual clothes, so Yuan Jixian was not sure whether this group of people was an enemy or a friend. When he heard the name "Lin Zhenjiang", he couldn't help but be overjoyed.

"Is it possible that Lin Zhenjiang, who repels Duoduo in Yangzhou?"

Lin Yu ordered Deng Yan to open the prison car and let Governor Yuan come out, and put the umbrella on Yuan Jixian's head to cover the rain: "It's Lin."

"Haha... It's great, it's a road ahead!"

Although the rain soaked the clothes and hair, Yuan Jixian was shocked and looked at the green truck and exclaimed: "Is this the armored car that defeated the Tartars? I was surprised that your artillery fire was so fierce that a dozen people defeated the 500 rebels. It turned out that it was Governor Lin's armored car here. I really shouldn't have died."

Lin Yu personally helped Yuan Jixian out of the prison car: "This is not an iron-clad vehicle to defeat the Tartars, this is a truck that can travel long distances and run like flying."

"This vehicle is already very powerful. Could it be that the armored vehicle is even more powerful than this?" Yuan Jixian sighed.

Lin Yu took out a long gown he carried with him and handed it to Yuan Jixian, asked him to change it in the carriage, and then sat in front to talk.

While the people were unprepared, Lin Yu bought a bottle of "Fenjiu" from the store and a few dishes, and talked with Yuan Jixian for a drink, just to suppress Governor Yuan.

"Thank you, Governor Lin, for helping me, otherwise my official will be in short order!"

Yuan Jixian, who had changed into dry clothes, looked much more energetic and savored a sip of white wine. "Good wine, good wine, I didn't expect that I not only did not die but also had good wine to treat. This world is really unpredictable!"

Lin Yu picked up the big bowl and took a sip: "Where did Yuan Butang be taken from by the rebels?"

Yuan Jixian introduced the situation of the war while drinking: "Zuo Liangyu asked me to issue a proclamation to fight against horses with Governor He, but I and Governor He refused, so I was taken away by the army and went east.

Unexpectedly, when the army arrived in Anqing, Zuo Liangyu suddenly died of illness. Zuo Menggeng secretly refused to die and continued to lead his army east to Wuhu, but was defeated by Huang Degong. In desperation, Zuo Menggeng had to retreat back to Anqing and station troops there.

When Zuo Liangyu was alive, he waited for his official and Governor He to be good. As soon as Liangyu died, his son Zuo Menggeng revealed his true nature as a traitor and insisted on forcing him to surrender to the Qing Dynasty. He was rejected by him and Governor He!”

He Tengjiao was an important figure in the late Ming Dynasty. After the fall of Nanjing, he was appointed as the governor of Huguang by Emperor Longwu, and surrendered the remnants of Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong's troops. During his heyday, he had 300,000 troops to fight against the Qing army, which was considered a hero for a while. Especially in the late Ming Dynasty, this era lacking heroes was rare.

"So, I wonder where Governor He has gone?"

Lin Yu took out a spicy duck head from the vacuum bag and handed it to Yuan Jixian, and asked, "Can you be killed by the left thief?"
