Chapter 592 Defines mutiny again (please vote for me!)
Lin Tailai's method of controlling and subduing subordinates requires a combination of soft and hard tactics.
After you have demonstrated your strength, you need to start talking.
The main reason is that Lin Tailai has little foundation in the Northwest Army and does not have a serious authoritative status such as governor and imperial envoy.
If there is no general like Dayun who has a certain amount of troops directly under his jurisdiction to assist, it will be really difficult to cause trouble.
So Lin Tailai changed his arrogant tone again and said to Dayun in a persuasive manner:
"Although under my leadership, you directly participated in two major victories within a month and made very important military exploits, this is not necessarily a good thing for you."
Da Donglou couldn't understand. It was you, Counselor Lin, who led him to two great victories. Now it's you, Counselor Lin, who says that the two great victories were not good. What on earth do you want?
Lin Tailai wiped his hands and said earnestly: "I am not good at fighting, but you are not good at being an official, so you want me to give you some advice.
You are now a commander and a guerrilla general. A great victory is enough to elevate you to the rank of commander and general.
But two big victories in a short period of time will make it impossible for you to get promoted.
Above the generals are the deputy commander-in-chief and the commander-in-chief, but where are there so many deputy commander-in-chief and commander-in-chief positions for you in Gansu?
Your situation will make things difficult for the officials and the court.
That's why I say that two big victories in a short period of time may not be a good thing.
You must learn to defile yourself. If you ask around, many of the famous generals in ancient times who died well would have defiled themselves.
If you engage in a mutiny, it is tantamount to committing suicide. It will offset the merits of a great victory, and you can still retain one credit.
In the end, you can also be promoted, and the court and the officials will not be in trouble. Isn't it the best of both worlds?"
Dayun listened in a daze, feeling that what Counselor Lin said were all fallacies, but there seemed to be some truth to it.
Finally, he made up his mind and shouted: "Counsellor Lin, stop talking, I will listen to you!"
Now everyone thinks that they are bound to Counselor Lin and cannot escape if they want to.
At worst, both of his great achievements will be dismissed and returned to the court.
Lin Tailai nodded with satisfaction. He is worthy of being a regional star, and he can be taught.
Then Da Donglou said very rationally: "But the chance of success in such a mutiny is very small.
I think it is time to cease all activities and show weakness in a low-key manner.
When the governor goes on patrol, pretend to be an officer from another battalion and conduct a surprise interception at the gate of the city. This will have the best chance of success!"
Counselor Lin patted Dayun on the shoulder and encouraged him: "I can't fight, but you can't mutiny. This time you can just take charge and show your strength."
Leave the task of using your brain to me for the time being. There is a method of mutiny that not only has a 100% success rate, but will definitely make your situation safer."
Dawn is said to be the time when a person is most sleepy.
In the inner courtyard of the governor's residence, Governor Zheng suddenly woke up from his nightmare.
He seemed to hear the sound of golden drums, as if he heard the noisy shouts of the rebels, as if he saw the rebels rushing into the governor's palace, as if he saw the lieutenant general breaking in, saving him and fleeing!
This dream was so vivid that even after I woke up, the sounds in the dream still lingered in my mind.
The Chinese military officer patted the door panel outside and reported loudly: "Military Gate! Hundreds of rioters rushed to the camp gate and were blocked by the Biao camp who had been on guard for a long time!"
Governor Zheng: "."
Mahler Gobi! How come the nightmare is reflected in reality!
Lin Tailai, this bastard, really dares to do whatever he wants!
This behavior is completely mindless! Hundreds of soldiers are really useless, right?
There are only a thousand soldiers in Governor Biao's camp stationed at the camp!
Coupled with the support from nearby military camps, even if there is Lin Tailai on the opposite side, I still have the advantage!
Waiting for the rebellion to be quelled, Lin Tailai captured, and then sent back to the capital, out of sight and out of mind from now on!
Thinking of this, Governor Zheng quickly ordered to the military officer outside the door: "You must not hurt Lin Tailai's life. You must capture him alive, otherwise military law will be imposed!"
Who is Lin Tailai? I won't mention the bunch of shabby official names for now. He is the first example of imperial examination in ancient times. He is a possessor of the nine elements of civil and military affairs. He is an auspicious person in this dynasty.
If he goes into battle to kill the enemy and sacrifice his life for the country, then that's it. It can be considered a worthy death.
But if someone dies in civil strife, who can bear the responsibility?
Even if Lin Tai comes to stage a mutiny, he cannot be harmed and can only be sent back to the capital for the court to deal with!
However, after hearing the governor's order, the Chinese officer looked a little strange and asked for instructions:
"As for the chaos outside, it's better for the military gate to see it with your own eyes."
Governor Zheng didn't have time to think too much. He hurriedly put on his clothes and got up. Under the cover of the guards, he arrived at the gate and looked outside to observe.
There were many people in the crowd outside holding torches, illuminating a circle in the middle of the crowd.
If you look closely, you will see an extremely tall and majestic man standing there, tied up with five-flowered ropes.
Seeing Governor Zheng appear, the giant man shouted loudly:
"Making Taiwan! The guerrilla general Da Yunbiao's battalion participated in two bloody battles in a row and deserved a double reward!
But now they think the reward is unfair, so they kidnapped me and came to petition Taiwan!"
Governor Zheng: "."
He was completely confused. This was indeed a mutiny, but it was completely different from the mutiny he imagined!
I knew Lin Tailai was a bastard, but I didn't expect that he was even more bastard than a bastard!
Is there anyone who uses being a hostage to stage a mutiny like you?
At this time, hundreds of rebels had been surrounded by thousands of officers and soldiers, and the situation was extremely unfavorable to the rebels.
Governor Zheng once again ordered: "It is strictly forbidden to do anything without my order, let alone harm Lin Tailai! Violators will be killed without mercy!"
It's not that Governor Zheng is merciful, it's mainly because if Lin Tailai died here, Zheng Luo would probably be beheaded by the emperor to pay for it!
Not only because of Lin Tailai's identity, but also because of Lin Tailai's two great victories.
The previous two major defeats were the biggest side affairs failures of the Wanli Dynasty so far.
The emperor actually went to court for this, and one can imagine his anger.
As for Lin Tailai's two great victories, although Zheng Luo thought they were not that significant, to the emperor, they were very timely revenge after being slapped in the face, and had great psychological significance.
If Lin Tailai, the emperor who was enjoying himself, unfortunately died here because of Zheng Luo's mistake, then the emperor, whose happiness was interrupted, would most likely kill Zheng Luo to vent his anger!
Don’t forget, when the emperor went to court, he had already used the example of the Jiajing Dynasty to kill ministers to threaten people!
Governor Zheng was thinking of countermeasures and gave some instructions to the Chinese officers.
The military officer yelled outside again: "Where is Guerrilla Dayun?"
As a result, another group of people appeared next to the rebels. In this crowd, Da Yun was also tied up and stood dejectedly.
Zhang Wen, the left protector of the Lin family who is known to many people, stood up and shouted: "We are servants of the Lin family! Seeing that my master was caught in the rebellion, he kidnapped General Da Yun!
If you don’t let my master go, we won’t let Da Yun go either!”
The rebel soldiers on the other side also shouted loudly, "The reward is unfair! The reward is unfair!"
Governor Zheng: "."
In addition to using himself as a hostage, what kind of bloody serial mutiny is this?
