Dynasty Conquest

Chapter 631 Return of the Zhenxi Army

Lin Chuan seriously dealt with the bloody conflict of the same robes and killed more than 100 main participants, which caused great repercussions among the Nanchuan Army. Officers at all levels restrained their subordinates one after another, and the generals were also surprised Express support for Lin Chuan.

The reason why the Nanchuan Army was able to fight more and more bravely in the dangerous environment, and finally become a strong army on its own, was not due to sophisticated weapons or brave generals, but to the unity of the entire army. The foundation of their army.

As the saying goes, brothers work together to cut gold, and only a united army can have a strong cohesion. With the continuous expansion of the scale of the Nanchuan Army, from tens of thousands of people at the beginning to tens of thousands of people now, it is indeed a strong army. , but the generals felt that something was missing.

Those hundred-man commanders and thousand-man commanders at the beginning have become generals commanding tens of thousands or 10,000+, and the group of officers who grew up with them also held important positions, but each corps and each corps formed their own The factions, the entire Nanchuan Army is no longer monolithic, and started fighting with each other.

In response to this problem, Lin Chuan thought of many ways, such as implementing a rotation system for officers, and each officer would be transferred to other unfamiliar troops every once in a while.

He hoped to break the barrier of internal strife, but with the bloody conflict between the Eighth Banner Regiment and the Tenth Banner Regiment, Lin Chuan realized that he was wrong from beginning to end.

Although the Tenth Banner Regiment and the Eighth Banner Regiment seem to be just a bloody conflict caused by fighting for spoils, the deeper reason is that the long-standing conflicts between the two factions have concentrated and exploded. Lin Chuan realized the seriousness of the problem, so he dealt with it desperately and seriously.

Lin Chuan is sending out a new signal, that is, no matter which faction you belong to, but if you endanger the unity of the Nanchuan Army, then Lin Chuan will deal with it mercilessly. The generals sounded a wake-up call.

"Young Marshal, did you deal with it too harshly this time?" Chief of Staff Xue Wen was very worried, fearing that it would have a negative effect and cause dissatisfaction among the soldiers who fought bloody battles.

Lin Chuan shook his head and said, "Although this time is severe, it is not hesitating to kill the threat of division in the cradle. The foundation of our Nanchuan Army is unity, so no matter what, I will never allow the same Such incidents happened."

Lin Chuan's tone softened: "When passing orders to sergeants at all levels, we must understand them with reason and empathy, do a good job for the soldiers, and let them know that only unity can win the battle, and we can survive in this troubled world. "

Chief of Staff Xue Wen nodded in agreement with Lin Chuan's opinion, and turned around to convey orders to the sergeants at all levels.

In the Nanchuan Army, the role of the sergeant system is becoming more and more obvious. The sergeants are in charge of training on weekdays, they are the vanguards in combat, and they are also in charge of political and ideological work in their spare time. an integral part.

"Hey, that's right," Lin Chuan suddenly called to Xue Wen, the chief of staff who was about to leave.

"The soldiers who were beheaded for violating military discipline yesterday should be registered as killed in battle, and the pensions for their families should be doubled, which can be regarded as compensation." Lin Chuan ordered.

"Of course" Xue Wen nodded. If they were registered as killed in battle, they would receive a lot of compensation, and the family members would still be able to enjoy the treatment of military members, but if they were beheaded for violating military discipline, they would get nothing. You will encounter other people's eyes and scorn.

Lin Chuan had no choice but to kill the soldiers who raised their knives at their comrades. If this crooked trend could not be curbed, the Nanchuan Army would eventually become no different from the rest of the troops.

Generally speaking, this incident is just a small episode that happened after the big victory, and it will soon disappear as time goes by, but next time someone raises a knife at a colleague, he will definitely think of this incident, So as to achieve a deterrent effect.

"Young Marshal, we have contacted the Zhenxi Army." Xia Ge walked into Lin Chuan's military tent excitedly.

"Oh? Where are they?" Lin Chuan was also very happy after hearing the news, and immediately stood up and asked.

Before the Battle of Liuyang started, Lin Chuan assigned the task of destroying the grain and grass transfer base behind the Hanhai Army to the Zhenxi Army. Now that the Hanhai Navy has withdrawn its troops, there has been no news of the Zhenxi Army, which makes Lin Chuan very worried. .

Hearing the news of the Zhenxi Army now, how could he not be happy, the Zhenxi Army was the biggest contributor to this battle, without them the battle would not have been able to win the final victory.

"They have returned and entered the camp." Xia Ge said happily.

Lin Chuan hurriedly grabbed the cloak and said, "Let's go to meet our great hero."

Not far from the camp, Lin Chuan saw the troops of the Zhenxi Army walking along the road of the camp at a glance, and they advanced amidst the cheers of the soldiers of the Nanchuan Army.

The Zhenxi army was exhausted, their battle armor was stained with blood, and they did not have the vigor that a victorious army should have. Just like a defeated army, their clothes were disheveled and full of depression. Lin Chuan frowned. The war actually beat the Zhenxi army like this.

"Brother Zhange." Lin Chuan hurriedly shouted when he saw Zhange riding on the horse.

Zhange also saw Lin Chuan striding away, a trace of guilt flashed across his face, he got off his horse and stood on the spot.

"Brother Lin, I failed your trust. We did not complete the task." Before Lin Chuan could speak, Zhan Ge took the lead in sighing heavily, his face full of shame.

"Brother Zhange, what do you say? If you hadn't destroyed Han Haijun's logistics and food base, we would have been defeated long ago. Speaking of which, we would also like to thank you Zhenxi Army. You are the biggest contributors to this battle."

Zhange waved his hand awkwardly and said, "Brother Lin, I'm ashamed to say that we didn't destroy the logistics transfer base of the Hanhai army, but instead suffered heavy losses."

Lin Chuan said suspiciously: "But if their logistics supply base hadn't been destroyed, they would have no reason to retreat."

"To be honest, we were ambushed by them when we attacked Hanhai's grain and grass transshipment base. They surrounded us with tens of thousands of cavalry. We fought with all our might. As for the reason for their withdrawal, I do know a little bit."

Hearing what Zhange said, Lin Chuan believed Zhange's words for the time being. Seeing their embarrassed appearance, they really didn't look like a victorious army, which was in line with Lin Chuan's previous guess.

"Pass down the order, free up the tents, and send good wine and meat to the brothers of the Zhenxi Army, so that they can take a good rest first." Although the Zhenxi Army did not complete the task, they also restrained many Hanhai cavalry on the periphery, reducing the Given the pressure from the Nanchuan Army, Lin Chuan naturally wouldn't turn a blind eye.

Hearing Lin Chuan's order, Zhan Ge was moved to tears. They failed, and instead of being harshly punished for not completing the task, they were treated with good wine and meat. He was very grateful to Lin Chuan.

"Go, Brother Zhange, it's too cold outside. We are eating and chatting in the military tent. I want to hear why Han Haijun retreated in such a hurry." Lin Chuan walked into the military tent with Zhange.
