False Eunuch: With Many Children, I'm as Happy as a Fish in Water

"Blessed by heaven..."

Lin Chen recited the contents of the imperial edict.

To give a brief summary of the general idea, it means that you, Zhao Kuangyin, are working very hard leading the army.

Although he suffered a defeat before, there is no need to take it to heart and continue to serve His Majesty and other official talk.

It can be said that most of the content in front of this imperial edict is of little value.

Zhao Kuangyin was also very calm, with a look of gratitude on his face, as if he was thanking the emperor for his great kindness.

But at this moment, Lin Chen suddenly changed the subject.

"This recruitment operation is coordinated by General Yangwei Lin Chenjia and recruits 130,000 White Lotus followers!"

Li Zhao did not act in accordance with Zhao Kuangyin's memorial at all.

"One hundred and thirty thousand?"

Zhao Kuangyin's heart moved slightly when he heard this amount.

If the emperor's salary was reduced by 20,000 yuan, it would be acceptable to him.

But what Lin Chen said next made Zhao Kuangyin's eyes shrink sharply.

"The Yulin Guards will recruit 30,000 soldiers from the White Lotus Religion, the Beijing Camp will recruit 70,000 soldiers to make up for the battle losses, and the rest will be sent to Liaodong and the Jiuguan Border Army in the north."

"What?!" Zhao Kuangyin looked serious.

The 130,000 soldiers who originally belonged to the Beijing camp were actually divided up!

And who is this Yulin Guard?

Zhao Kuangyin suddenly raised his head and looked at the military flag erected behind Lin Chen. In addition to the word "Lin", there happened to be the word "Yulinwei"!

Could it be that in order to check and balance him, Li Zhao just asked Lin Chenjia, a close confidant, to form a new army?

Zhao Kuangyin's heart sank as he wanted to understand the joints, and he couldn't help clenching his palms more tightly.

Now the battle damage deficit reported in the Beijing camp is about 50,000.

In other words, even if these 70,000 soldiers are added, the size of the Beijing camp will only have 20,000 more soldiers than before!

Lin Chen looked at Zhao Kuangyin, whose eyes were constantly changing, with a trace of undetectable amusement flashing in his eyes.

"This is not allowed!"

The one who had the biggest reaction was undoubtedly Zhao Guangyi.

Compared with his elder brother, he still lacks the ability to cultivate Qi.

Zhao Guangyi, who had not expected such a change, started shouting.

"Lin Chenjia, is this imperial edict issued by His Majesty?!"

Zhao Guangyi stared at Lin Chen, as if he suspected that he had tampered with this imperial edict.

"presumptuous!"

Without Lin Chen opening his mouth, Wei Cheng shouted loudly and cast an unkind look on Zhao Guangyi.

"This imperial edict was given by His Majesty with his golden words. Is it possible that General Zhao wants to slander Lord Lin for tampering with the edict?"

You must know that changing the imperial edict is a capital crime!

"this......"

Just as Zhao Guangyi wanted to defend himself, he caught the eye of his eldest brother Zhao Kuangyin and signaled him to stop talking.

"General Lin, a certain brother was a little reckless. I hope you will forgive me."

Lin Chen nodded slightly, indicating that he didn't care about this.

"Master Zhao, you must cooperate with this recruitment."

The tone that sounded like a smile but not a smile sounded extremely offensive to Zhao Kuangyin.

However, Zhao Kuangyin's attitude was still very humble.

"We respect the emperor's orders, and no one dares to disobey them."

Lin Chen could see what Zhao Kuangyin was thinking, and it was definitely not as indifferent as he showed.

Maybe, I had already scolded him bloody for picking peaches.

"In this case, I will set up camp and form a rivalry with the Beijing camp."

Lin Chen had no intention of stationing at the Beijing camp.

There's no guarantee that this kid Zhao Kuangyin will suddenly jump over the wall.

When the time comes, Lin Chen's soldiers will be labeled as having a sudden change in the camp and causing heavy losses.

As for Lin Chen himself?

Unfortunately, the imperial envoy died in the roar of the camp. What a pity, what a pity.

So for the sake of safety, Lin Chen specially chose a place five miles away from Jingying Camp to settle down.

By the time the camp was completed, it was already dusk.

"grown ups!"

At this time, Yang Zhi hurried towards Lin Chen.

"How's it going?"

Lin Chen looked at the sky, making it unclear what he was thinking.

"As your Excellency thought, dozens of people from the Beijing camp went to Xianping City for unknown purposes."

"Ah."

Hearing this, Lin Chen sneered.

It seems that Zhao Kuangyin is preparing for the recruitment.

Even with his knees, he knew that Zhao Kuangyin planned to select all the elite soldiers of the White Lotus Sect, leaving only Lin Chen and the border troops with a group of old and weak soldiers.

"It doesn't matter, I expected it all." Lin Chen disagreed.

According to the hints given by the ministers of the DPRK and Li Zhao to Lin Chen.

Recruitment should be carried out more quickly this time, so that it cannot continue to affect production in the Gyeonggi region in the coming spring.

Same day!

Under the gaze of hundreds of thousands of officers and soldiers in the imperial camp and the Yulin Guards.

The White Lotus Sect opened the city gate.

Several men who were dressed in Chinese clothes and looked like leaders were beheaded during the struggle.

"General Lin, these people are the bandit leaders in Xianping City. Fortunately, a righteous man came forward and captured them. Now they are punishing the law with their own lives!"

Zhao Kuangyin's voice rang in Lin Chen's ears.

"The bandit leader?"

Lin Chen glanced at the motionless corpses with dull eyes.

These scapegoats who don't even have any cultivation level are too perfunctory.

He thought Zhao Kuangyin would introduce some middle-level figures from the White Lotus Sect.

"continue."

Lin Chen did not intend to entangle any further, and just asked the other White Lotus soldiers in the city to come out and accept the surrender.

Click!

The inner gate of the city opened.

These White Lotus soldiers, who were still wearing armor and holding weapons, came out one by one.

The Yulin Guards officers, who had received Lin Chen's order long ago, were watching eagerly to be on guard against any changes.

Zhao Kuangyin watched as he placed the Yulin Guards' cavalry troops fifteen miles outside Xianping City. Only 20,000 infantry were present and ready for battle.

It seemed that if something unexpected happened, they could use the charge of the horse army to carve out a bloody path.

This made Zhao Kuangyin have to admit that Lin Chenjia was too experienced and steady.

Zhao Kuangyin, who had put some thoughts in his mind to rest, gave Zhao Guangyi a look.

The latter nodded understandingly, understanding that the plan could not be carried out.

at the same time.

These White Lotus priests began to discard their weapons and armor and stood aside.

Seeing this, Lin Chen nodded slightly, signaling to enter the city.

This recruitment matter is definitely not something that can be done so easily.

You must know that there are not only soldiers of the White Lotus Sect in this city, but also many victims who have been trapped.

When these people cannot survive, they naturally plan to fight to the death.

Immediately.

Under Lin Chen's order, the trucks transporting grain entered the city and began to build a soup kitchen.

in particular.

After Lin Chen entered the city, he couldn't help but feel a little silent when he saw the mess in the city.

In this city, with the lack of food, people may be cannibalized in a few days.

From a certain perspective, Lin Chen was partly responsible for the tragic situation in the city.

certainly.

Lin Chen didn't feel any guilt at all.

Immediately.

Porridge soup shops began to be set up throughout Xianping City. At the same time, Lin Chen arranged for his soldiers to start counting the number of White Lotus followers in the city.

It's a tedious job.

You must know that there were too few people who were literate in ancient times. Faced with this situation, they had to keep count and write.

Lin Chen's big-headed soldiers were not very useful.

"Go and see if there are any scholars alive in the city who can be recruited to do something!"
