Dynasty Conquest

Chapter 171 New Years
The Nanchuan Army ushered in the new year amidst the snowstorm. Although it was freezing cold, the First Corps stationed in Heishan Town, under the leadership of Lin Chuan, snatched a large amount of food and grass from the Dynasty Army, which was enough They had a prosperous and happy New Year.

When soldiers fight, they hang their heads on their belts at any time, and they may die at any time, so soldiers know how to enjoy themselves in time.

As the commander, Lin Chuan is also extremely thoughtful. He understands the soldiers' thoughts very well. He paid the military salary on the day before the New Year, and each soldier got at least two gold coins.

"Long live the General!"

"Long live the Nanchuan Army!"

The soldiers and officers who received the military salary raised their arms high and made a sound like a mountain whistling and a tsunami, and the whole Heishan town was a sea of ​​joy.

"General, we are poor again..." Seeing the cheering soldiers, Lu Dong, the quartermaster, looked even uglier than crying.

In fact, the First Corps is not rich, and all the military salaries come from the seizure. Lu Dong still wanted to use the money to buy some military supplies, but Lin Chuan said that he paid the military salaries, and saw the golden gold coins rushing out of his hands. Leaving, Lu Dong felt heartbroken.

Lin Chuan patted Lu Dong's shoulder with a smile and said: "Don't be so stingy, soldiers fight on the battlefield, this is what they deserve."

As he said that, Lin Chuan took a small bag from Thunderstorm behind him, and handed it to Lu Dong: "You have worked hard during this time, take it to buy wine and drink."

Holding the heavy purse in his hand, Lu Dong raised his head and looked at Lin Chuan, tears streaming down his face.

Lin Chuan scolded with a smile: "You old man, why are you crying, you're useless."

While wiping away the tears from the corners of his eyes, Lu Dong choked up and said: "General, I'm happy, I'm happy."

"Just be happy, be happy."

The soldiers fought on the battlefield. As a general, what Lin Chuan did was nothing more than his original promise.

With the arrival of the New Year, there was no movement in Jiuyuan Province, and the line of defense has been maintained at a hundred miles away. This is undoubtedly good news for the Nanchuan Army.

It was cold and cold, and since the garrison troops in Jiuyuan Province were not attacking, the Nanchuan Army also had a rare leisure. Except for the troops on duty, Lin Chuan gave the rest of the troops a holiday.

Originally, Heishan Town was full of wine shops and brothels. With the influx of soldiers on vacation, the entire Heishan Town became more lively, with shouts and laughter everywhere.

Lin Chuan gave everyone a holiday, and he returned to his official office. Except for the guards on duty, Lei Feng didn't know where to go to drink.

Looking at the empty room, Lin Chuan shook his head helplessly, it would be great if that girl Lan Yu was there.

He took out the sachet that Lan Yu gave him from his bosom, exuding a faint fragrance, Lin Chuan sat on his chair, dazed.

It has been more than half a year since Lan Yu left. I don't know what is going on now. Now that there is no news from Nanchuan Province and Wang Jing, what Lin Chuan knows is limited.

Lin Chuan sighed, he had to work harder to continuously strengthen the Nanchuan Army, and when the time came, he would lead the army to attack Wang Jing and go to pick up his relatives in person.

Just doing what he said, Lin Chuan put away the sachet, and opened the document on the table, which was about the plan to reorganize the miners into an army.

Among the 1 miners, there are more than 2 old, weak, sick and disabled, and some are unwilling to join the army. In addition, there are [-] people left.

Lin Chuan plans to reorganize 2 people into a cavalry flag regiment and an infantry flag regiment, and temporarily bring them under the command of the First Corps. In this way, the First Corps will have five banner regiments with 5 horses.

Compared with other corps of the Nanchuan Army, the First Corps is equivalent to a strengthened version of the Corps. However, since the First Corps is facing the garrison of Jiuyuan Province alone, Lin Chuan believes that Marshal Lin Nuoyan will not refuse to sign this plan of.

In addition to the need for reorganization of the miners, Jiang Mingyue, the intelligence department, also came to report that the troops in Jiuyuan Province were frequently mobilized, and more attention should be paid.

Except for these two important things, the rest are trivial things, such as the Fifth Banner Battalion's application for [-] sets of winter clothes, and the Third Banner Regiment's meritorious officers needing promotion and requesting instructions...

Lin Chuan has been busy until dusk. Compared with the beauty of summer dusk, winter dusk is only darker and colder.

"Is the general there?" Sith's voice came from outside the door.

The guard replied: "The general is still working."

Soon Xisi pushed the door in with a jar of wine and saw Lin Chuan grinning: "General, it's boring for me to live alone this New Year. I don't mind having a drink with the general." Altar, a smell of wine filled the air.

Lin Chuan joked with a smile, "When will you find a wife?"

Sith waved his hand and said, "I'm a big bastard who has been fighting outside all year round. What kind of wife do I want?"

"Why is there no fire in the room, it's so cold." Sith shivered.

Lin Chuan took out charcoal from the corner of the wall, and soon a raging flame was ignited in the brazier. After a while, the room became warm and not as cold as before.

"Hahaha, how can you drink without meat?" Before Xiao Zhanren arrived, his voice had already come in.

Xiao Zhan pushed the door open, and a gust of cold wind poured into the room, causing Sith to curse: "Close the door quickly, close the door quickly, people will freeze to death."

Xiao Zhan put the thing wrapped in oiled paper in his hand on the table, and it was still steaming: "This is the roast chicken from Lao Litou's house on the east side of the street. It tastes good, and it's just right for drinking."

The oiled paper wrapping the roasted chicken was torn apart, and the roasted golden roasted chicken was still dripping with golden oil, fresh and fragrant, and filled with a rich aroma.

There is no ale in the mountains, but the spirits bought from the wine shops on the street are equally fragrant, and people can't help but drink a few more glasses.

The three sat down, all brothers in the army, regardless of their official position at this moment, each filled a glass of wine without saying a word, and poured it with his head up, and suddenly a hot feeling ran down his throat, which immediately made people feel relieved. It was so refreshing that it dispelled the cold on my body.

The three of them had just had a drink, and there was another conversation outside, Feng Qingyang and Ye Fei came together, they either brought wine or food, and laughed when they saw the two who had already arrived in the room.

Chief of Staff Li Yunshan didn't just carry a whole roast chicken like the generals did. He carried a food box, which contained a few dishes of delicate side dishes, and the warm glazed jug looked extraordinarily small.

Since Li Yunshan helped Lin Chuan and the others to provide information on grain storage in Jiuyuan Province, allowing them to seize a large amount of grain, these unrestrained men no longer resented this skinny scholar.

"Master Chief of Staff, come here." Xiao Zhan hurriedly gave up his seat with a smile.

The originally deserted room suddenly became lively because of the arrival of Xiao Zhan and the others.

Except for the sergeant major on duty, almost all the senior commanders of the First Corps gathered here.

Lin Chuan raised his glass: "Brothers, I would like to respect everyone for this first glass of wine. We fought well this year, repelled the imperial conquest army, and now we have occupied the Heishan Iron Mine Area. Brothers have worked hard. Let me first Do it for your respect."

After speaking, Lin Chuan raised his head and drank it all in one gulp.

Soon Lin Chuan filled the second glass of wine and said, "This is the second glass of wine. We respect those brothers who died. Without their desperate bloody battle, we would not be where we are today, so we respect the brothers who died."

Lin Chuan faced the door and slowly poured the wine in the glass. Everyone else felt a little heavy for a while.

"Come on, drink this cup, I hope our First Corps will become stronger and stronger!" Lin Chuan raised his glass.

"The First Corps is victorious!" The wine glasses collided together, and everyone's blood boiled.

　Ask for a recommendation ticket.
