Battle of the Red Mansions

Looking at Lin Xuan who hadn't even had time to change his clothes with horror on his face, the soldiers around him were stunned. They never thought that General Lin, who was rumored to be a thousand riders, would be so young.

The few who made complaints just now stood there in a daze, opened their mouths and looked at each other, not knowing what to say, Wu Jun, who was a big brother, was also dumbfounded.

They were thinking about complaining together when they got to know each other better, but in the end they blatantly said so much in front of the Lord, my God, will they still walk out of the barracks alive?

Wanting to retreat but not daring to do so, Wu Jun sneered twice, and wanted to rescue him again, "This name is not bad, it has the same name as our general, what a coincidence."

"Don't struggle, I'm Lin Xuan, the Lin Xuan you think of." Youyou sighed, Lin Xuan patted the embarrassed Wu Jun, then turned to look at the soldiers beside him.

"Brothers, it's my fault for staying outside for too long. Lin Xuan is here to apologise, but when it comes to fighting, although Lin Xuan's age is not as good as General Xie's, she has experienced it a few times anyway. If any brother If you want to compete, Lin Xuan is here to accompany you."

Lin Xuan clasped his fists and bent slightly, and did not put himself above the soldiers at all in his words. With this attitude, even if he came late, the soldiers would not be able to say anything.

Moreover, they are not qualified to say anything. Lin Xuan left the barracks on a formal leave, so there is no need to tell them these things.

Uneasy and hurriedly got up to salute, the soldiers wanted to sew their own mouths shut just now, but now, although General Lin looked young, he was more than a little bit stronger than those of them who had never been on the battlefield.

But not everyone thinks so, Xie Qiong can keep these soldiers in Tiance Camp, they are naturally the best recruits, and there are not a few of them who are proud.

If Lin Xuan, like Xie Qiong, just stood there exuding the aura of keeping strangers away, these soldiers might have been more solemn, but unfortunately, he looked like a son of a noble family.

If it wasn't for sure that no one would dare to pretend to be Lin Xuan here, they would have thought that some blind guy had come to play tricks on them.

Not long after, a man more than eight feet tall came out of the recruit's bunker holding a training wooden gun, "I'm here, You Liang, and I would like to learn from the general."

Youliang and Youliang are good names and have a bright future.

A smile flashed across his eyes, and Lin Xuan's mood didn't get worse when he saw You Liang turning his spear into a stick. He just asked someone to make an open space for them, and then began to take a good look at this soldier named You Liang.

If possible, he would also like to ask if there is a brother named Rich in this person's family. If so, it would be great to recruit them together.

Which soldier doesn't want to have money and food in the army, this name is really good.

Not knowing what Lin Xuan was thinking at all, staring at him with a slightly strange gaze, You Liang squeezed the wooden gun in his hand uncomfortably, then clasped his fists in salute, "I'm sorry."

Raising eyebrows and looking at this strong man, Lin Xuan didn't intend to say more, the feelings between men came out after a fight, these soldiers dared to arrange him so openly, isn't it because they have never seen him before? .

Prestige is accumulated little by little, and he has plenty of time to grind it out with them here, not in a hurry.

Lin Xuan's appearance was too confusing. He looked completely different with or without armor. You Liang looked him up and down, wondering if he should use more strength later, so as not to beat the general to the ground at the first meeting. So messy.

Clearly seeing the meaning of You Liangyan, Lin Xuan was not annoyed, but picked up the spear with a crooked smile, seeing that the person on the other side was ready, and made a preemptive move.

The prestige of Tiance Mansion's Habayashi marksmanship is not something this big man who uses that long spear as a stick can bear.

Looking at the "handsome and harmless" general Lin with a look of lovelessness, he beat You Liang, who was much stronger than him, to the ground and couldn't get up. The soldiers next to him were silent without any sound.

In normal times, as long as it is a competition, no matter who wins or loses, the soldiers watching will definitely cheer. After all, there are not many entertainment items in the army, and watching people compete is their favorite.

But today was different from usual. They already had a big rock in their hearts, and now Lin Xuan beat down the best of them, You Liang, with lightning speed. Faces, they couldn't even smile at all.

Bending down to help You Liang up from the ground, Lin Xuan rolled over a handsome spear, "Big guys, remember, our Tiance camp uses long spears instead of sticks, and we will fight more immediately in the future, you know ?"

Blushing in the face, he responded in a low voice, not only You Liang, but also everyone else.

Because no one taught them, they usually used spears as sticks just like You Liang. After all, the lengths were about the same, so how could they not be juggling.

On the surface it looked like nothing serious, but You Liang, who had a lot of bruises on his body, pulled the corners of his mouth and tried to avoid Lin Xuan's with his wooden gun.

With different identities, it's not good to let the general carry him like this.

Moreover, although he was exceptionally sharp in fighting people, General Lin didn't look as big or strong as him. What if he was crushed?

Sun Yong, who was called by A-Gump to stand by and watch with General Xie, was ready to go when Lin Xuan helped You Liang up, and asked A-Gump to take his medicine box. Dr. Sun shook his head and sighed, " After going home, Ah Xuan's temper is much better!"

Turning his head and glanced at Sun Yong, Xie Qiong was noncommittal about his evaluation.

Lin Xuan's temper changed for the better?

Sun Yong didn't see this man coming back to the tent without even packing his things and arguing with him about where Tiance's soldiers went. If he saw him, let's see if he can still say these words.

Walking over to ask A-Gump to help You Liang aside, Dr. Sun scanned the people around him, and then said to another man who was somewhat similar to You Liang, "You Gan, come here."

Looking at the man who passed by with great interest, Lin Xuan squeezed her chin, she really has all the money and food!

There was nothing wrong with You Liang's body, he just got a beating, and he was almost fine after taking the medicine and sleeping. Dr. Sun looked at it, and then threw a medicine bottle over for him to clean up.

Judging from this posture, you can tell that you have dealt with this group of people a lot.

It is true that Sun Yong came here a lot on weekdays. Tiance rescued so many people, and the usual training would not hurt anyone. There were only a few fights, and he still couldn't remember clearly.

They also have a sense of proportion in their fights, they won't really fight to the death, but bruises and bruises are also inevitable, Xie Yang is too lazy to take care of them, Sun Yong can only control the amount of their wounds, hoping that these people can restrain themselves .

But obviously, what he did was of no use.

I haven't seen Dr. Sun for a long time, and Lin Xuan is also in a good mood looking at him, but now is not the time to reminisce, so he didn't say much.

Xie Qiong and Xie Yang then came over, stood beside Lin Xuan and announced his identity in a low voice, and then confirmed the date of their formal training.

The main general is back, so Xie Yang can relax a bit, he doesn't have to open his eyes every day and think about how many people will come and make trouble today.

To be honest, his temper is so good now, it was purely worn down by this year's recruits.

Having condescended to be an old mother for several months, Xie Yang said that when he went to interrogate those foreign spies, his patience was much higher, and those spies who used to tremble when they saw him stopped crying when they saw him now Woolen cloth.

Walking around in the barracks, Lin Xuan quickly put his mind on how to train soldiers.

Today, there are nearly [-] more soldiers in Tiance Camp than before, but there are only so many horses. It will take time to forge spears and saddles, so these are things that need to be resolved quickly.

They had just won a big victory, and the army hadn't regained its strength yet, so they couldn't find so many good horses that fit his mind for a while.

There is a horse farm nearby, but it was just taken back from foreigners this year. The horses in it have not yet matured, and they cannot supply the needs of the entire Northwest Army.

This is the result of not paying attention to the cavalry at the top. Even the horses can't be gathered together. Where can we form the cavalry that can compete with other races?

Lin Xuan sighed, and found that even their general couldn't get the horses together in a short time, so he didn't have to worry about it. It would be nice if the first batch of horses came out from the racecourse after a while. All the horses in the other armies were grabbed.

The problem of horses is not easy to solve, but fortunately, weapons are not so troublesome.

Submit a letter to report the style and quantity of weapons needed to the emperor, and when the emperor approves it, the craftsmen will naturally send over the weapons they need.

In the Daqing Dynasty, there was no such thing as emphasizing military generals, at least in the eyes of the current emperor, he did not mean to belittle military generals. Therefore, as long as the subordinates do not mess around, there will be absolutely no shortage of food, weapons and so on.

It is precisely because of this that there are so many incomes every year, and the country is still bottomed out every year. The army is really a bottomless pit!

However, although things were not complete, with Lin Xuan present, Tiance Camp finally got on the right track.

A few months passed in the blink of an eye, and at the end of the year, the capital was full of wind and rain. Even when they went out, the nobles began to restrain the juniors at home, for fear that something might go wrong and someone would catch them.

Not long ago, Jiangnan weaved a booklet denouncing the corruption of Jiangnan officials. At the same time, because of the poor harvest this year, the people in the south were relying on the relief of the court to survive.

After receiving complaints one after another, the emperor was so angry that he scolded the courtiers that they dared not speak, and then quickly sent imperial envoys to Jiangnan without waiting for other people to react.

The emperor ordered that once the matter is true, none of the officials involved will be left behind, and all of them will be dealt with severely according to the law.

I don't know if the emperor had already planned it or if it happened because of the disaster in the south of the Yangtze River that the matter was exposed. The court lived in panic for a while, and those whose ancestral home was in Jinling City didn't even dare to contact their families, for fear of being found out.

It's not that they suspect, but that the timing is too coincidental.

The atmosphere in the capital is tense and everyone is in danger, and the Rongguo Mansion is not in a good place.

Although Rong Guogong kept himself clean and kept himself out of this kind of thing, the women in the family had a lot of connections with Jiangnan. They didn't dare to let Rong Guogong see anything, and they heard the terrible news from the outside world. It is also anxious.

However, at this time, Duke Rong fell ill again.

Having taken the lead on the battlefield for many years, Rong Guogong's health is not in good condition at all, illnesses come and go, and old injuries recur one after another.

The Rongguo Mansion was gloomy, and even if the imperial physician was invited, they could only say that there was not much time left and that they could start preparing for the funeral.
