Chapter 477 Rewards for Clearing the Secret Realm!

After crossing the Yellow River, the Tang army was still unstoppable.

The Yuan army along the way was defeated and had no power to fight back.

The reason was not him, but the legacy of Kublai Khan's previous deployment of elite troops from various places to the south.

Now, those elite troops have become defeated soldiers and have not yet been reorganized and assembled.

And how can the newly recruited militia from various places resist the wolf-like and tiger-like army of the Tang army?

Therefore, in less than half a month, Yingtian Prefecture and Daming Prefecture fell into the hands of the Tang army.

Seeing this situation, Lin Chen ordered to stop the Northern Expedition.

In this Northern Expedition, he recovered most of the Northern Song Dynasty's homeland.

However, in less than three months of fierce fighting, the Tang army suffered more than 100,000 casualties, and the consumption of food and supplies was countless.

Lin'an Qiao Xuan has already written to Lin Chen to complain.

Therefore, he needs to stop now, reorganize the troops, and digest the results of the battle.

Bianliang City.

This once glorious capital of the Northern Song Dynasty has changed under the trampling of the Tang army's iron cavalry.

Lin Chen, the wise King of Tang, naturally took on the responsibility of handling local government affairs here.

His current situation is quite similar to that of Zhu Yuanzhang in history. Both relied on the power of the south to march north and unify the Central Plains.

But it is obvious.

Lin'an, the old capital of the Southern Song Dynasty, is no longer suitable as the capital.

And this Bianliang is not a good place either.

As a plain four-warring place, before there is a stable Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures as a northern barrier, once the barbarian enemies cross the Yellow River, they can directly approach the city of Bianliang. Its geographical location is unfavorable, which can be seen.

This is why Zhao Kuangyin trained a large number of imperial guards to guard the capital when he established the capital in Bianliang.

However, after the most elite wave of the Northern Song Dynasty imperial guards were all sent away by the donkey cart god of war Zhao Guangyi, the Northern Song Dynasty imperial guards became a joke.

Finally, when the two emperors were taken away to herd sheep, the imperial guards in the city actually needed money for shooting arrows.

It was really ridiculous.

But at present, Bianliang can still play its intended role.

As the hub of the Central Plains, it connects the water network and canals, which is convenient for trade.

Before Lin Chen takes over the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, Bianliang can be set as a secondary capital.

Just as His Royal Highness the Tang King was thinking, a personal soldier hurried to report.

After reading the contents of the memorial, Lin Chen frowned slightly, then relaxed, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"You really don't know what you mean!"

The guys written in the memorial are the Northern Han Marquises.

They seem to have not yet recognized the situation, and they still think they can be kings and marquises in their own territory like under the Yuan Dynasty.

"Order Yang Zhi to lead the left-wing army to suppress, but those who do not surrender will be wiped out!"

For these Northern Han Marquises, Lin Chen has little patience to bargain with them.

On the contrary, destroying these Han lords who have accumulated wealth for hundreds of years can bring a lot of money, food and weapons.

These things should make Qiao Xuan stop complaining about how empty the treasury is.

It is reasonable that Lin Chen will not let go of these northern Han lords.

Of course.

There are smart people among these people.

After seeing the intention of the Tang King, several families chose to hand over their military power and territory.

For these Han lords who know the current situation, Lin Chen naturally treats them well.

For example, the descendants of the family are rewarded with official positions, serve as officials in the court, and the accumulated wealth of the family is not investigated.

At the same time, Lin Chen thought carefully and decided to dispatch Lu Xiufu to Bianliang to preside over the policy of clearing the land and clearing the population.

Although the Central Plains is rich, under the rough governance of Mongolia, most of its benefits fall into the hands of the gentry.

These gentry only need to pay the taxes required by the Yuan Dynasty, and they can arbitrarily exploit the tenants and civilians, and no one dares to restrict them.

Of course, Lu Xiufu was not the only one who came to Bianliang this time.

He ordered that the ministers in Lin'an be emptied, and all the scholars who took the imperial examinations this time should come to Bianliang to participate in the palace examination.

When this news came out, Lin'an had different reactions.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Lin'an might lose its position as the capital in the future.

After all, the Southern Song Dynasty was in the south, and it was a helpless move to set its capital in Lin'an.

Therefore, some wealthy ministers who had lived in Lin'an for a hundred years had other ideas.

For a time, there were a lot of aristocratic families who moved their clans to the north.

Among them were the Zhao clan.

Although Lin Chen did not ask them to come to Bianliang, as descendants of the fallen country, they still had an attitude.

Compared with being used as political tools by some people in Lin'an, they would rather stay under the rule of the King of Tang for stability.

The Zhao clan members knew that if they continued to stay in Lin'an, they would inevitably be used by some people with ulterior motives to cause trouble.

At that time, even if they were wronged, no one could uphold justice for them.

Therefore, moving north was a blessing for the Zhao clan members.

Not only did the Zhao family move north, but the palace maids and eunuchs in Lin'an also began to pack their bags and prepare to move north.

Fortunately, Lin'an and Bianliang have the advantage of water transportation, otherwise it would take a lot of time to move such a large-scale battle.

He naturally didn't know the impact of Lin Chen's will.

At this moment, he was more concerned about another thing.

[Ding, the destiny has been completed! ]

Yes.

Just now, he suddenly heard a prompt from the system.

With the beheading of Kublai Khan, the destiny mission has been completed!

This made him curious, what kind of extraordinary effect will this destiny bring?

[The host successfully grasps the destiny of this secret realm and gains a bonus of luck]

Hmm?

Lin Chen's heart moved, as if there was a mysterious power surging in his body, mysterious and elusive.

"What is this?"

He felt the gradually rising breath in his body, his expression slightly puzzled.

Although this power was short-lived, it made him deeply feel that the connection between him and the world seemed to be closer, as if he had become a part of this world.

Intuition told Lin Chen that he was more favored by the world than before.

Even in the Li Tang world, he went from a little-known little character to a supporting role in a martial arts novel.

For example, Yang Kang in The Legend of the Condor Heroes and Yi Zhiping in The Condor Heroes.

Pah.

Although everyone wants to be a dragon knight, Lin Chen doesn't want to be Yi Zhiping.

But in the Li Tang world, Wang Yuyan and Xiao Longnu are not much different.

In other words, it's not wrong for Lin Chen to say that he is a dragon knight.

Ahem.

I'm getting off topic.

The magical effect of luck is naturally far more than this.

Take the protagonist of the novel as an example.

Duan Yu is the protagonist, so he can get the Lingbo Weibu, and accidentally eat the two poisonous creatures, Manggu Zhuha and Millennium Ice Silkworm, which makes him immune to all poisons.

Although Lin Chen can't pick up the peerless secret book by walking at the moment, and there is the old man in the ring, he firmly believes that the blessing of luck will bring him more possibilities.

But... is it only the luck reward?

[Ding! Do you want to open the secret realm clearance reward? ]

Sure enough!

Lin Chen raised his eyebrows.

His premonition was not wrong, the real reward is more than that.

Just collect all the destiny, can you get the clearance reward?

This reminded him of the Liaozhai Secret Realm.

You know, the judge token in his system backpack can return to the Liaozhai Secret Realm at any time.

Moreover.

In Liaozhai, he also inexplicably became the emperor of the world.

But obviously, the destiny of Liaozhai is not something that can be obtained by being an emperor.

Lin Chen's eyes flashed with thought, and then shook his head to throw away distracting thoughts.

Now that he is only in the Purple Mansion, he has no strength to see the true appearance of Liaozhai.

Judging from his encounter with the Bai Suzhen sisters, there are really immortals watching this secret place of Liaozhai.

"Open the clearance reward." Lin Chen coughed lightly, with a hint of curiosity in his eyes.

I wonder what kind of surprise this reward will bring him?

…
