Chapter 93 Return to Beijing

"Is this Lin Chenjia still from the Ming Cult?"

Murong Fu was secretly surprised when he heard what his cousin Wang Yuyan said.

The Gusu Murong family has been passed down to this day, and it can be said that it has a family history, and there are many records of advanced martial arts secrets from various martial arts schools.

This great shift of the universe can only be learned by holding the position of leader of the Ming Cult.

As the saying goes, you can see the leopard in the tube. It can be seen that this great shift of the universe is by no means comparable to ordinary martial arts.

but.

In the past ten years, the whereabouts of the leader of the Ming Cult have been unknown, and internal strife within the sect has continued.

It no longer has the power of having three hundred thousand disciples!

Now that he learned that a general of the imperial court actually knew the Ming sect's non-teaching exercises, it was no wonder that Murong Fu thought too much.

After pondering for a long time, Murong Fu calmed down the thoughtful look on his face, shook his head and whispered: "It doesn't matter what the origin of Lin Chenjia is, as long as it doesn't hinder my plan."

"If not...!"

As he said this, Murong Fu's eyes flashed with murderous intent.

Today, it was Li Tang's new emperor's eagle dog, Shangguan Wan'er, who suddenly appeared and intervened, saving the other party's life.

Inside Xianping City.

Priest White Lotus looked in a hurry as he shuttled over the city wall.

In order to prevent the imperial officers and soldiers from attacking the city again, they were urgently filling the gap in the east city, and countless people were fighting with open fire.

Unexpectedly, until dawn broke, nothing happened all night.

"Report!"

However, the White Lotus Sect scouts delivered news that shocked the remaining White Lotus Sect protectors.

Lin Chenjia led his army to retreat last night!

Abandon the military stronghold and retreat all the way to Chicang County!

How is this going?

Those who didn't know thought that Lin Chen suffered a loss in his attack on the city yesterday.

at the same time.

Zhang Heng, who had collected the White Lotus Sect naval vessels, already had six stern boats and a dozen small boats used to join the ship.

certainly.

The final battleship is indispensable.

"Second brother, what do you think of the handwritten letter sent by Master Lin?"

Zhang Heng handed a letter to Zhang Shun with twinkling eyes.

"this……"

Zhang Shun was slightly startled and subconsciously took it to check.

Lin Chen's handwriting only gave one order.

That is to let him lead the navy to temporarily station in Caoqu near Xianping City, nominally to guard against the White Lotus Sect's thieves from becoming bigger.

But Zhang Shun is a smart man and saw something else in it.

It seems that General Lin is making preparations for something.

The navy led by Zhang Heng was this hidden man.

"Brother, no matter what Mr. Lin wants to do, we can just follow his orders."

Zhang Shun told his eldest brother not to think so much and just listen with peace of mind.

have to say.

Working under Lin Chen was a dream come true for people like Zhang Heng and Zhang Shun who behaved casually and did not want to be controlled by others.

Furthermore, the other party is willing to be promoted and paid.

No.

After taking down the White Lotus Sect water stronghold, Zhang Heng was promoted to the rank of seventh-level naval commander.

Zhang Shun also became deputy commander.

"Too!"

Zhang Heng suddenly burst out laughing when he heard this.

Why does he want to do so much for a rude and violent man? !

"The officers and soldiers are here!"

"The imperial officers and soldiers are here!"

at the same time.

Many refugees who had settled down on the outskirts of Akicang County were panicking.

You must know that there is a saying in ancient times: bandits are like a comb, soldiers are like a grate.

Many officers and soldiers who are willing to use the heads of fellow villagers have done more cruel things than the gangsters.

nature.

These refugee villages watched the passing imperial army with fear. The doors and windows wherever they passed were closed, and the roads were deserted.

Lin Chen looked at this scene and shook his head imperceptibly.

The reputation of soldiers in this era is not very good.

As the saying goes, a good man should not be a soldier, and a good man should not hammer nails. This is different from the army that will be called the people's soldiers in later generations.

but.

For Lin Chen, he had extremely strict control over the military discipline of his soldiers.

Just look at these soldiers, all in neat military appearance. They dare not deviate from the road for fear of stepping on the new rice seedlings in the wheat fields on both sides.

This scene was seen by many refugees and they were very shocked.

Only when they later learned that the leader of this army was Lin Chenjia did the refugees suddenly realize.

They still remember what Lin Chen did before.

Many refugee villages spontaneously built shrines to Lin Chen in their villages to worship him.

Wang Wu looked at another wave of people, old and young, kneeling and worshiping on both sides of the path, carrying fruits and grains, with a moved expression.

for him.

I never thought that people would treat me with such high standards.

Shangguan Wan'er also looked at this scene, looked at Lin Chen in surprise, and asked curiously: "Why is this?"

Why?

It’s nothing more than treating the people at the bottom as individuals.

Lin Chen sighed in his heart, and then motioned to Yang Wulang to lead a group of soldiers to send these ordinary people away nicely.

As for the fruits and vegetables from the labor force, Lin Chen naturally couldn't accept them, so he asked the common people to take them back.

"The sages have said that those who live on their own merits should cultivate themselves as a people."

Shangguan Wan'er couldn't help but sigh in a low voice.

However, most of the officials in the world are just ordinary people who have read the books of sages and sages, but they don't know how to express the word "serving the people".

Lin Chen said nothing about this.

"Brother Lin!"

Li Xunhuan, who had been waiting at the pavilion five miles outside Chicang County, leaned on the railing and said hello.

Lin Chen saw that it was Li Xunhuan, a cheap friend, so he left the team and came to the foot of the pavilion.

"There aren't many government affairs today? Do you still have the intention to hold a banquet here?"

Lin Chen looked at the food and wine placed on the stone table in the pavilion and couldn't help but laugh.

"I heard that Brother Lin was going back to Beijing, so I've been waiting here for a long time." Li Xunhuan heard the teasing in Lin Chen's words, but he didn't get annoyed and said with a smile.

The two of them reminisced about the past.

It turned out that Li Xunhuan, the temporary county magistrate, had been idle a few days ago because the court sent a new county magistrate to govern Chicang.

Li Xunhuan and Lin Chen agreed.

He would go to Beijing to take the exam in three months, and then he would have a good drink with Lin Chen.

"It's a deal!" Lin Chen nodded slightly.

Li Xunhuan also knew that Lin Chen had the emperor's order, so he didn't say much.

At the same time in the capital.

Suddenly, such a rumor spread.

It was said that Lin Chenjia led his army to attack the city a few days ago, and almost broke through the gate of Xianping City.

In the end, he was defeated because of his lack of troops, and now he was recalled to the capital by His Majesty to rest.

After that, the famous Minister of War Zhao Kuangyin will take over the post of Left General and lead more than 100,000 troops in the Beijing camp to fight against the White Lotus thieves.

"The White Lotus Sect is like a rabbit with a tail that can't grow long!"

"General Lin can defeat hundreds of thousands of believers of the White Lotus Sect with tens of thousands of troops, which shows that the White Lotus Sect's combat effectiveness is not strong."

"General Lin Chenjia also has the style of a famous general!"

Many noble children in the capital are the most well-informed people.

In the wine shop and teahouse, these people gathered in groups of three or five, drinking and discussing.

Naturally.

There were also scholars mixed in.

They were not interested in fighting.

Only after learning the details of Lin Chen's administration in Chicang County, they spoke highly of him.

They said that Lin Chen was a Confucian general, both civil and military!

Similarly.

The news that Lin Chen would lead his army back to Beijing spread to some interested people.

Among them were the brothers Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Guangyi.

"Oh, I knew this little emperor would make a move." Zhao Guangyi sneered twice.

...
