382 The lonely lamp does not illuminate the soul-returning person (2)
Lin Tao then came to his senses and said, "They are all soldiers brought out by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and no one dared to do anything indiscriminately under the military discipline."
"Brother Lin, you were the Crown Prince's soldier before, right?" Bearded and quickly stepped forward and asked, "I have never heard you say you have brothers. So you are just looking for an excuse. Actually, you want to find the head of the camp where you were eating food?"
Lin Tao was speechless and had no answer.
"I saw that when he heard about the Eastern Palace Guards, his eyes were lit. Did you admit it directly?" Beard said dissatisfied: "It's still covering up, it's not the big girl's house."
"Oh," Lin Tao was helpless, "the brothers who left behind the palace that day thought they would die, and they were taken away by the other brothers. Now they said it was unreasonable, why should they believe you?"
I remembered that Lin Tao was seriously injured that day. If it weren't for his father's wonderful moves, Lin Tao wouldn't be like this in this world.
"Didn't you guys leave?" asked Bearded, "They haven't gone back?"
"Who knows."
Lin Tao shook his head helplessly, but said in his heart: The comrades who rushed across the river that day were not natives in Shaanxi, and they were not familiar with the place. Who knows whether they were caught by thieves... If they were not able to cross the river alive, I would have been taken back after years and treated as deserters? Could it be that they were hung to death with this shameful reputation? It would be fine if they died. The comrades fought bloody battles that day, and some of them became deserters. Wouldn't this shame the heroic spirit of the deceased be shamed!
Beard didn't know the entanglement in Lin Tao, but said with a serious look on his face: "Brother Lin, my father often said that people are not afraid of shadows. What's the point of thinking about you, such an open man, what's the point of thinking about? As I said, come to the door directly. Report your own home, what should you do!"
Lin Tao still couldn't make up his mind, but he felt that the head in the bag was extremely heavy, and then said: "No matter what, report Kong Youde's death first."
He was bearded and arrogant and said, "Brother Lin. You and I are like brothers. Even if there is an abyss ahead, I will accompany you to break through with you brother!"
Lin Tao was quite moved, but just nodded and said, "Let's go."
After leaving Luliang Mountain, Hejin City is there.
Because Lao Hejin was burned and blown up by Xiao Tugeng at the beginning, Hejin City is now two miles away from the Yellow River, and it is the newly built military fort after the Third Division came. Zuo Guangxian's battalion command post is located here, located in the center of Hejin City.
When I heard that someone had sent Kong Youde's head, Zuo Guang first thought of the word "liar".
Reality is by no means a novel. How could a king and a general who commanded tens of thousands of troops be beheaded so easily?
Of course, reality is often more amazing than novels, because with the story of the little overlord Sun Ce, no one dares to say that Kong Youde will definitely not die if he is killed.
In order to prevent the historical allusion of Jing Ke from reenacting Fan Yuqi's head, Zuo Guang first ordered people to settle the followers of the visitor first and only met Lin Tao. Lin Tao did not indicate his identity because he did not remember that Zuo Guang was the old guard of the East Palace.
During the Battle of the River, Lin Tao was at the Right Army headquarters, and the task of responding to Zuo Guangxian was Xiao Donglou's left army headquarters. When Zuo Guangxian revealed his identity and entered the Eastern Palace system, Lin Tao had already followed Xiao Mo, She An and others to cross the Yellow River, and killed the generals and seized the flag.
Zuo Guang first listened to Lin Tao's statement carefully and combined it with Long Fucai's report. He found that there was indeed no doubt about this matter.
However, the key problem lies in Kong Youde's identity.
"Caomin believes in the confessions of those captured soldiers." Lin Tao could only state the actual situation at that time, and could not prove Kong Youde's true identity.
Zuo Guangxian was very sorry that he was unable to seize Kong Youde's seal, otherwise it would be a foregone conclusion. Now he only has one head. It is indeed a bit difficult to explain.
"You go down and rest first, and this matter will be reported to the headquarters as soon as possible. Now the officers and soldiers are supporting the Qin rebel army. If you have any needs, you can open a list, weapons and agricultural tools, as long as you can. Our army will support you." Zuo Guangxian took the initiative to end the reception.
Such a meeting was much more friendly than Lin Tao imagined, especially the "rebel support strategy" mentioned by Zuo Guang in the end, which made him very moved.
Of course, what I am most tempted is to return to the guard camp, wear armor to fight, kill the Tartars, and protect the country.
As soon as he thought of this, Lin Tao was shocked by his greatness.
On that day, a tutor told him the principle of "protecting the family and defending the country". He disagreed and just wanted to grant his wife and son, and to be a marquis and generals. During this year, he was recuperating from the wounded outside, living in seclusion, killing thieves, and robbing... It was like giving him a living tutoring class, and sincerely feeling the call of the "family and country" to him.
This is the first time I have seen officers and soldiers with strict military disciplines. It is also the first time I have the opportunity to follow the officers and soldiers to eat in the cafeteria, three meals a day.
This is simply the legendary life of the landlord and the old Cai family, and he actually had three meals a day!
In today's era, even landlords and wealthy only hold three meals a day during busy farming, otherwise the tenant farmers would lose more losses if they were unable to work.
Lin Tao and the other two lived in the Hejin military camp, but they were a charity. They did not need to participate in military training and had no labor tasks. However, they helped to pull the car for two days and received two kilograms of food coupons, which was a surprise. Later, they discovered the date pit balls and quickly became addicted to it. They were surprised that there was such a masculine game in the world.
Five days later, a general with Jin Hui led two military judges to find Lin Tao.
"I am his brother, I won't leave!" He stood firmly behind Lin Tao, regardless of Lin Tao's eyes. In his opinion, the general's lion nose and eyes were so ugly that it exceeded people's imagination. The so-called appearance is born from the heart, which shows that he is definitely not a good person.
The general didn't mind and smiled and said, "I am Wu Changchun, the judge of the General Army."
"My name is Zhao Liangdong!" The bearded man replied loudly, refusing to fall into a disadvantage in his momentum.
Wu Changchun still just squinted his eyes and smiled, "I know, I have read the confession of you two. Today I am just here to confirm. Kong Youde is not dead..."
"Nonsense!" Zhao Liangdong saw the life of the military fort, had a deeper understanding of money and food, and shouted loudly: "You want to rely on our reward!"
Wu Changchun shook his head: "He has surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, so the head you cut down cannot be Kong Youde."
"General, maybe we were deceived." Lin Tao suppressed the angry Zhao Liangdong and said to Wu Changchun.
Wu Changchun looked at Lin Tao and said, "But His Highness the Crown Prince thinks that you are loyal and righteous people, so he still gave him a reward of 500 taels." Seeing that Lin Tao and Zhao Liangdong were about to speak, he said, "You can share the money yourself, or use it to form a rebel army, and you will also remark the merits at that time."
This is the second general in high positions who mentioned the issue of "rebel army". Last time, Zuo Guang only talked about what benefits the rebel army recognized by the court could get. This time, Wu Changchun brought a complete set of regulations, including the issue of dispatching combat staff and instructors, as well as how to apply for military funds every month and report on the results of the war.
"The staff and the instructor are forbidden to lead troops, so no matter what they say, you cannot give the military power of the rebel army to them." Wu Changchun said: "But you have an obligation to protect their lives."
Zhao Liangdong always suspected that this was a conspiracy of the court to recruit the rebel army. He heard that the staff and instructors of the official rank could not obtain military power, so he was very curious.
Lin Tao could understand that this was to ensure the independence of the rebel army, so as to avoid ambitious people robbing military merits under the banner of the crown prince, or even establishing an independent army.
"There is also a booklet for "Tactics behind Enemy" which was made by the Crown Prince and the General Staff." Wu Changchun took out a booklet with ink fragrance and placed it in front of Lin Tao, and said, "Now it is best to give your rebels a name for your rebels to facilitate contact and registration. You should be the leader of this rebel army."
"Yes, our village listens to Brother Lin!" Zhao Liangdong replied on behalf of Lin Tao.
Wu Changchun smiled and said, "That's good. Complete the form as soon as possible and hand it over to me, and then you can lead the military funds back. Are you literate?"
"Know a few." Lin Tao said.
"Well, the Jinyiwei always knows the words." Wu Changchun tapped the table gently: "You used to be Jinyiwei, why did you go to Shaanxi?"
Lin Tao's spine seemed to have been sucked, and he was sturdy and asked, "How can I see it?" (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
