Dynasty Conquest

Chapter 462 Pardon Edict
After all, Emperor Longhan was still young. When he heard that the Rain King Longjing rebelled, there were twelve provinces responding. He suddenly became at a loss and looked at Lin Chuan for help in a panic.

"Your Majesty, although Yu Wang and others hold the banner on the side of the Qing Dynasty to oppose our Supervision Office and the reform of the bureaucratic system, they are actually opposing your Majesty." Lin Chuan pointedly pointed out the real purpose of Yu Wang and others raising the flag to rebel.

Long Han's heart was extremely bitter. Although he won the battle for the prince, he had no prestige and was not the heir to the last emperor's edict. Although he was enthroned as emperor, the meritorious nobles did not recognize him. anger.

Long Han said dejectedly: "Brother, how should we deal with this matter?"

Now Long Han has lost his position and has no idea, just waiting for Lin Chuan to make up his mind.

Lin Chuan said coldly: "Your Majesty, it is better to fight than compromise. If you compromise now, they will make progress in the future, and the country will lose its power."

Long Han nodded in agreement, but then became dejected again: "Our army is now fighting outside, and we have no soldiers to use now."

Most of Lan Yu's Central Army troops have been transferred to the western part of the Far East Dynasty to make up for the defense vacancy after Zhenxi Army's unauthorized withdrawal. Lin Nuoyan's Nanchuan Army troops are responsible for cooperating with the Supervisory Office to carry out reform tasks, and are now distributed in more than 30 provinces. , it is impossible to gather together in a short time.

Although there are still 15 internal guards directly under the emperor Long Han, the internal guards are mixed, good and bad, and their combat power is not strong. Moreover, they are also responsible for guarding the Gyeonggi Province and defending the capital.

Although Wang Jing is calm now, there is an undercurrent surging. Those big nobles whose interests have been violated are all waiting and watching. In order to deter these noble forces, the inner guards cannot move.

Lin Chuan gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, we still have an army available."

"Oh? Where is there another army?" Long Han asked hastily.

Lin Chuan replied: "There are still [-] Zhenxi troops in the prisoner-of-war camp."

After hearing Lin Chuan's words, the joy on Long Han's face suddenly froze, and he said in embarrassment: "Although the Zhenxi Army is brave and good at fighting, they are prisoners of war after all, and they once opposed me. One blow, when the time comes..."

Long Han didn't say anything later, he had to say a word, Emperor Long Han didn't trust the Zhenxi Army, after all, the Zhenxi Army once obeyed his elder brother Long Qing to fight against him.

"Your Majesty, the Zhenxi Army is a first-class elite. When we fought against us, they were their own masters. They just obeyed orders. Now that they have surrendered, it means that they have repented. Why don't you give them a chance?" A chance to make amends."

"But the Zhenxi Army is rebellious, so it's hard to guarantee that they won't have second thoughts. If that happens, how should we deal with it?" Long Han raised his concerns.

Lin Chuan patted his chest and assured: "Your Majesty only needs to give me an edict of pardon. I am confident that the soldiers of the Zhenxi Army will return to the battle order of the Dynasty Army, and there will be absolutely no rebellion."

"But..." Long Han was still worried. After all, this was the Western Army of Hundred Thousand Towns. If he really rebelled at that time, his throne would be threatened.

"Your Majesty, now that the Rain King's army is gathering, we have no time to think about it."

The emperor Long Han gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, big brother, I will trust you just once. If the Hundred Thousand Town West Army really rebelled by then, at worst I won't sit on the throne."

It's a hopeless situation now anyway, instead of waiting to die, it's better to give it a go.

Soon, Lin Chuan, chief of the Supervisory Office, arrived at the prisoner-of-war camp outside Wangjing City with the emperor Long Han's pardon letter.

The prisoner-of-war camp held [-] Zhenxi troops. They were all loyal and brave soldiers who used to guard the frontier fortresses of the Far East Dynasty, but because of one wrong step, they are now prisoners.

These Zhenxi soldiers who were once brave and good at fighting are now in panic all day long, waiting for the final judgment under strict custody.

"General, this Lin Chuan is too dishonest. He promised to spare us as long as we surrendered, but what is it to lock us here now?" Hei Diao, the general of the Zhenxi Army, sat on the ground and shouted. whining.

The former commander of the First Army of the Zhenxi Army, Battle Song, had disheveled hair and was much haggard. He stared blankly at the scorching sun hanging on the sky, wondering what he was thinking.

"General, you have to say something, our [-] brothers can't just wait for death here in vain, as long as you say something, even if we risk our lives, we must fight a bloody road."

Zhan Ge looked back at Hei Diao, pointed to the heavily guarded soldiers outside and said, "I won't stop you if you die, but don't drag the brothers to accompany you."

"Alas—" Hei Diao sighed heavily, and sat down on the ground again in frustration.

In fact, Hei Diao was just complaining. Now there are [-] fully armed internal guards stationed around the prisoners of war. If there is any trouble in the prisoner-of-war camp, they will come over immediately.

Although the Zhenxi army is brave and good at fighting, but after all, they are not well fed and weak, and they are unarmed. Against the [-] heavily armed inner guards, they really have no chance of winning.

"Lin Chuan, Lin Chuan..." Zhan Ge looked at the blue sky and muttered to himself.

"Assemble! Assemble!" At this moment, a sharp copper whistle sounded in the prisoner-of-war camp, and the internal guards who were in charge of guarding the prisoners of war began to shout loudly.

The first reaction of the sleeping Zhenxi soldiers sitting in the sun in the prisoner-of-war camp was to stand up quickly when they heard the copper whistle.

As the elite Zhenxi Army, although they have now become prisoners of war, this does not affect their ability to respond at all. This is the result of their years of training.

Not long after, the Western Army of Hundred Thousand Towns had stood neatly on the large field of the camp. Although their clothes were ragged, they were covered in mud and smelled bad, their faces were covered with dirt, and their hair was disheveled like beggars. But his body stood as straight as a green pine, with a solemn expression.

Seeing the soldiers of the Zhenxi Army neatly lined up, Lin Chuan nodded in satisfaction standing on the high platform. They are indeed the elite Zhenxi Army. Although they are prisoners of war, their performance at the moment is better than that of the general provincial garrison Both are much stronger.

Lin Chuan's armor was bright and his face was cold. Facing the [-] Zhenxi Army, he stepped forward and shouted loudly: "Brothers of the Zhenxi Army, do you still know me?!"

Lin Chuan's voice was like thunder on the ground, and it rang in the ears of the Zhenxi soldiers, making their eardrums ache.

Before the soldiers could answer, Lin Chuan had already started reporting himself: "I am Lin Chuan, the commander of the Nanchuan Army, and the current chief of the Supervision Department. I am here today to fulfill my promise!"

Hearing Lin Chuan's words, the eyes of the Zhenxi soldiers who were originally hopeless and godless suddenly glowed. They were extremely excited, whispering to each other, and talking a lot. They didn't expect Lin Chuan to really fulfill his promise.

The soldiers who had cursed Lin Chuan bowed their heads in shame at this moment. They have often scolded Lin Chuan for deceiving them these days. Now that Lin Chuan really came, one can imagine the excitement in their hearts.

Lin Chuan held up the bright yellow pardon edict over his head and said loudly: "This is His Majesty's pardon edict! Your Majesty has pardoned all your sins, and you will rejoin the battle order of the imperial army and continue the glory of the Zhenxi Army!"
