Dynasty Conquest

Chapter 519
Zuihonglou is a first-class restaurant in Wangjing City. It is a place frequented by dignitaries and nobles on weekdays, but today it is different. There is no silk and bamboo wind music in the past, but there are bursts of shouting.

"Come on, brothers, it's done!" Lin Chuan was in high spirits on happy occasions, and he held up his wine bowl to the brothers with pride.

"General! Done!" There are not so many clichés among soldiers and brothers, and they speak and do things cleanly.

Just like there is a saying that goes well: if friendship is true, drink a glass of wine, but if brotherhood is deep, you will never return if you are not drunk.

Xia Ge, Gang Yu and the others were all brothers who fought bloody battles with Lin Chuan on the battlefield back then. This is a fateful friendship. It has been a long time since we last saw each other. Whenever there is great joy, Lin Chuan naturally drank to his heart's content.

Although he stayed in Wang Jing successively as chief inspector, imperial envoy and other high-ranking positions, although Lin Chuan appeared to be strong on the surface, but Lin Chuan was walking on thin ice, always cautious, not daring to be careless, after all, the senior officials here There are too many nobles, and the lessons learned from Lin's downfall are there.

At the beginning, Lin Nuoyan led the Nanchuan Army and the Central Army to support Long Han's ascension to the throne. In fact, the main reason was that the Nanchuan Army had reached the end of its strength after several years of fighting.

Besides, Nanchuan Province and Jiuyuan Province couldn't support the Nanchuan Army's powerful troops, and they couldn't provide enough supplies to fight against the dynasty. For the sake of the Nanchuan Army and the people, Lin Nuoyan finally made a decision to compromise with the dynasty.

The result of the compromise was that Long Han ascended to the throne, cleared the grievances of the Lin family, and handed over the Nanchuan Province, Jiuyuan Province and Luoshan Province to the officials from the Nanchuan Army as the governors.

There was a compromise between the Nanchuan army and the dynasty. Lin Chuan has been working hard in the center of the dynasty for the soldiers of the Nanchuan army and for the people of Nanchuan to maintain a peaceful state and no longer suffer heavy taxes. He has been fighting with the princes and nobles. Fight on the front line.

It seems that Lin Chuan has infinite scenery and high position and weight, but in fact only Lin Chuan himself knows how much responsibility is on his shoulders and how much pressure he has endured.

Especially after Lin Nuoyan, the coach of the Nanchuan Army, was unable to preside over affairs due to illness, everything about the Nanchuan Army was on the shoulders of Lin Chuan alone. The soldiers of Nanchuan needed to be taken care of and supported, and no one knew how much pressure he was under.

The Nanchuan army was abolished and turned into a local garrison, stationed in Jiuyuan, Luoshan, and Nanchuan provinces, and the troops were reduced to about 10.

However, in its heyday, the Nanchuan Army had a full 40 soldiers. In order to accommodate these retired soldiers, Lin Chuan also took great pains. He not only allocated 500 million gold coins from his capture of Longjing in the Southern Expedition to issue pensions, but also arranged for Xia Ge and others. People set up military farms, fearing that they would suddenly leave the army and have no source of life.

Now that everything is on the right track, seeing these old brothers coming, Lin Chuan's depression, grievance and other emotions can no longer be controlled, and he vents them concentratedly in the wine.

"General, you...don't worry, we are...we are here, the brothers in the Nanchuan Army are hungry...you won't be hungry." Gang Yu had already drank his tongue and wrapped his arms around Lin Chuan's shoulder to promise.

Xia Ge also came over and said: "General, there are more than 5000 children in the youth battalion now. Lin Cunzhi and the others are like little tigers. My guards were all overthrown by them."

Hearing that the orphans in the youth camp have become so powerful now, Lin Chuan was happy in his heart, with a look of relief on his face.

At the beginning, these orphans were taken in out of kindness. At that time, they were always in war, and they were trained as soldiers in order to let them have the ability to protect themselves. But now that there is peace, it doesn't make much sense to train them like that again.

"Brother, go back and tell the children that they not only need to learn military skills, but also be able to read and write. Send them to Zhanzheng College to study hard." Lin Chuan instructed Xia Ge.

"That's right, those children are too wild, they have to be taken to Zhanzheng College to clean them up." Tu Yue complained from the side.

"Hahaha, I'll do it when I get back." Xia Ge responded with a smile.

"General, I... I wish you and your sister-in-law to grow old forever, and give us a little general as soon as possible." Sith staggered to Lin Chuan and raised his wine bowl and said.

"Hahaha, yes, give birth to a little general." Everyone laughed and raised their wine bowls, making the atmosphere even more enthusiastic.

"Pa——" the yelling from upstairs continued, and the sound of dishes breaking from time to time, every time the sound came, the waiters waiting downstairs in the restaurant twitched their faces, feeling distressed.

"Shopkeeper, these soldiers broke the bowl again..." The waiter couldn't help it, and reported to the fat shopkeeper behind the counter.

The shopkeeper was also very distressed. Zuihonglou always received high-ranking officials or nobles. All the dishes were carefully prepared. They not only looked elegant but also very valuable. They were all complete sets.

Hearing the cracking sound coming from upstairs from time to time, the shopkeeper wanted to die. He didn't know how much he would lose tonight. Those were all specially made dishes.

"Shopkeeper, do you want to send them away? It's already midnight." The waiter said impatiently, yawning.

"Do you know who is upstairs, that is Lin Chuanlin who got married today, do you dare to go?"

The waiter shrunk his neck, felt the coolness in his neck, and shook his head hurriedly. Isn't that a way to seek death? Although Lin Chuan has stepped down as the inspector general, Lin Chuan's residual prestige is still there, so how dare they go up.

"Shopkeeper, where is my general?" While the shopkeeper was talking with the waiter, Xue Wen and Li Yunshan Lianjue, who were wearing long robes, walked into the drunken red building.

The two of them were also in bad luck. Facing the crowds of people, not only did Lin Chuan not catch up with the wedding banquet, but they were hungry for a whole day. They arrived at the Lin Mansion not until late at night. When they heard that Lin Chuan was here, they hurried over.

"Who is your general?" the shopkeeper asked.

Xue Wen replied with a smile: "General Lin Chuanlin."

"They're drinking upstairs," the shopkeeper said to the waiter, "Hurry up and take the two gentlemen up—"

The arrival of Xue Wen and Li Yunshan made Lin Chuan even more happy. Now one of them is the Governor of Jiuyuan Province and the other is the Governor of Luoshan Province. warm.

Originally, the generals of Nanchuan didn't like these two civil servants very much. After all, they were powerless, and they couldn't help much on the bloody battlefield.

But later, Xue Wen and Li Yunshan made plans together, and the other was in charge of the rear, becoming the two major supporters of the Nanchuan Army, and the generals slowly accepted it.

"Master Xue, Master Li, come, come, eat meat." Fatty Lu Dong gnawed on a pig's trotter, saw the two coming, and hurriedly greeted them.

Barrels of ale were delivered to the banquet, and then the broken dishes were replaced by the twitching waiter, who pushed the glasses and raised the cups. Everyone drank until dawn, and they were all very drunk. Lin Chuan was drunk at the wedding night passed through.
