Chapter 217
Seeing the emperor's guard of honor appearing, Lin Feng hurriedly got off his horse, and then led the people forward.Seeing the emperor, Lin Feng hurriedly said: "My minister respectfully welcomes the emperor, long live the Emperor Wu." After speaking, Lin Feng was ready to kneel down.At this time, the voice of the emperor had already come: "Lord Lin, excuse me." He said, walking towards Lin Feng quickly.

Lin Feng was spared from kneeling, the officials brought by Lin Feng did not have such good luck, they all knelt on the ground.

"During this time, Lin Aiqing has worked hard." Seeing Lin Feng, the emperor said, completely ignoring those officials.If the emperor didn't speak, they would naturally kneel down.This makes those officials who have been pampered all the time really overwhelmed.Even if they went to see Lin Feng, they didn't kneel for such a long time.

"It's a helpless move for me to bring the emperor to Jinling this time. I hope the emperor will not blame me." Lin Feng said.

"I understand Lin Aiqing's painstaking efforts. The current situation, that is, Lin Aiqing's place, can make me feel at ease." The emperor said earnestly.

At this time, the queen mother also came over with Qiuxiang's support.Lin Feng hurriedly said: "Weichen has seen the queen mother." Outside, the proper etiquette is also necessary.Otherwise, it's a faux pas.

"Lord Lin, please excuse me." The queen mother looked at Lin Feng and said.From the Queen Mother's eyes, Lin Feng could also see that she missed him.Speaking of which, the two haven't seen each other for a long time.Firstly, it was because of their identities, and secondly, Lin Feng rarely returned to the capital, staying in Jinling all the time.

After welcoming the emperor, the group of people naturally wanted to head towards Jinling.Jinling City also has a palace.After all, Jinling was also the accompanying capital of the Great Yan Dynasty.And in the earliest days, Jinling City was also the capital.

As early as when Li Wenyuan left, Lin Feng arranged for someone to clean the Jinling Palace and repair some places.In this way, when the emperor comes, it is easy to stay.In fact, there are always people in Jinling's palace, and these people are all the old eunuchs.They are responsible for guarding the palace.

The group didn't return to Jinling until it was getting dark.And the imperial palace in Jinling has already been prepared.When the emperor returned to the palace, the eunuchs were already waiting there.Because it was night, it was naturally difficult for Lin Feng to enter the palace again.Although he used to be a eunuch, he is now a foreign minister, which is against the law.So, after Lin Feng sent the emperor back to the palace, he left.

Returning to the left-behind department, Lin Feng saw Jin Quan and Ding Quan, as well as the officials in the capital who came with them.

After sitting down, Lin Feng didn't beat around the bush and said, "The emperor is already in Jinling now. Presumably Mr. Li has also told you about the Iron Armored Army." About the Iron Armored Army, Lin Feng told Li Wenyuan, and Li Wenyuan would naturally tell you about the Iron Armored Army. they said.

"My lord, I really didn't expect that the Emperor Taizu would keep such a trick." Jin Quan said.When King Wu rebelled, they almost thought of something, but they turned to Lin Feng by accident.It is estimated that if they had risen at that time, the final result would have been suppressed by the Iron Armored Army.

In the history of the Great Yan Dynasty, the Iron Armored Army was also synonymous with invincibility.Naturally, these civil servants have read a lot.Although the rulers of the Great Yan Dynasty deliberately made people forget about the Iron Armored Army, they were mentioned more or less in many books.

"Yeah, with the Iron Armored Army joining this time, the battle should be smooth." Lin Feng said.

"But, my lord, this Iron Armored Army..." Jin Quan was a little worried, what if the emperor commanded the Iron Armored Army to wipe out Jiangnan?
Although Jin Quan didn't say anything, Lin Feng understood what he meant.Not only Lin Feng understood, but also all the officials present.Although Jiangnan is still on the emperor's side, everyone can see that Jiangnan is no longer the Jiangnan that the emperor can call the shots.

"As long as the emperor is in Jiangnan, the Armored Army will not do anything to Jiangnan." Lin Feng also gave them a reassurance.Lin Feng also learned a lot through his short time with the Iron Armored Army.At least, the Iron Armored Army is definitely not the emperor's private army.To a large extent, the emperor was unable to mobilize the Iron Armored Army.

"My lord, who should we send to take over the territory captured by the Iron Armored Army?" Li Wenyuan asked a crucial question.This is also the most important thing, the site is the most important thing, nothing else is important.This is a good opportunity for Jiangnan to take the opportunity to expand its territory.

"Of course our people will accept it, but we need to get the emperor's edict, so that's justified." Lin Feng said.Although he can also send someone to receive it, it is best to avoid suspicion at this time, so he will use the manpower from the capital to receive it, and at the same time, there will be an imperial edict from the emperor, which is truly justified.

"My lord, can this armored army completely fight against the rebels everywhere?" Ding Quan asked.Although he did not dare to question the combat effectiveness of the Iron Armored Army, at this moment, he felt that it would be difficult for the Iron Armored Army to turn the tide.

Shaking his head, Lin Feng said: "I'm not very clear either. The fighting power of the Iron Armored Army is just a legend after all. No one knows what their fighting power is now." This is not to say that Lin Feng doesn't trust the Iron Armored Army. On the contrary, Lin Feng trusts the Iron Armored Army. Theirs, but after all, there are a large number of rebels, and the Iron Armored Army is basically a squad of 5000 people, so the victory is not very sure.

"Then what should we do if the Iron Armored Army fails?" Ding Quan asked a question that everyone avoided.After all, the possibility exists.

"Master Ding, I have thought about this issue. However, this is not important. Jiangnan is not a soft persimmon." When Lin Feng said this, his whole person's momentum was different. Now Jiangnan also has his own of the capital.At least, the combat effectiveness of the new army has risen.The only flaw is that there are not enough people.

"Okay, everyone is tired all the way, let's go to rest for now. I will go to see the emperor tomorrow, and we will discuss other issues." Lin Feng said to them, after all, they were also tired for several days.

Early the next morning, Lin Feng went to see the emperor. After all, the emperor came, so Lin Feng naturally had to walk around more.Moreover, Lin Feng also had to get the edict from the previous one, and took the opportunity to expand Jiangnan's territory.

It was a pleasure to meet the emperor.Lin Feng generally introduced the current situation in Jiangnan to the emperor.And the emperor also greatly appreciated these changes made by Lin Feng.Apart from admiration, what else can the emperor say?To put it bluntly, he is temporarily taking refuge in Jinling, but to put it bluntly, he is now being coerced by Lin Feng as the emperor to command the princes.

After seeing the emperor, Lin Feng also went to the queen mother.After spending some time with the Queen Mother and Qiu Xiang, Lin Feng left.Although he saw the resentful eyes of the Queen Mother and Qiu Xiang, Lin Feng still had more important things to do.

Holding the edict he got from the emperor, Lin Feng summoned his subordinates in the meeting room of the left-behind department, and began to arrange the problem of taking over the Iron Armored Army and laying down the territory.The territory conquered by the Iron Armored Army must have been fought.So what these places need is rest and recuperation.This is another heavy burden for Jiangnan.

In the meeting room, everyone started a fierce quarrel.The core of the quarrel is also very clear: whether to take over a group of relatively wealthy places, or take over the whole thing.In comparison, other provinces also have distinctions between rich and poor.

Hearing his subordinates express their opinions, Lin Feng hesitated.What they say makes sense, but where do we go from here?Jiangnan's resources are limited, not only in human resources, but also in financial resources, Jiangnan is also stretched.If everything goes down, will Jiangnan be able to eat it?If you can't eat it, the consequence is that you will be stuffed to death.

"My lord, I have a few words to say." Ding Quan, who hadn't spoken much all this time, stood up and said.

"Master Ding, please speak freely." Lin Feng said quickly.At this time, he just wanted to hear a more in-depth analysis.Ding Quan's ability to sit in the position of being a political adviser also shows that he has some abilities.Otherwise, why would he be able to sit in that position? You must know that he is neither Li Henian's party nor Liu Rufeng's party.

After organizing the language, Ding Quan said: "I don't know if you want to live in a corner or have a bigger ambition?"

Ding Quan's words were a bit harsh.After all, this is obviously treasonous.But among the people here, who doesn't think so?Otherwise, what are they doing with Lin Feng?Originally they were in high positions.If it weren't for the greater benefits of following Lin Feng, why would they need to follow Lin Feng?

"How about a corner of Pian'an? How about having great ambitions?" Lin Feng asked.

Glancing at Lin Feng, Ding Quan said: "If your lord wants to live in peace, the rich and rich Jiangnan is enough for you to live in peace. Moreover, you don't need our assistance if you want to live in a safe place."

"What about the lofty ambition?" Lin Feng couldn't help asking.

"If your lord has lofty ambitions, then the lower officials think that your lord should occupy a larger territory." Ding Quan expressed his thoughts.After all, only by occupying the territory can we develop better.Territory, to a large extent, is an extremely important resource.

No matter how poor the place is, there are at least people, right?Talent is the most important resource.One of the most important reasons why Lin Feng did not dare to recruit troops in Jiangnan was that he could not delay other industries because of his military arrogance.After all, fighting isn't everything.What Lin Feng wanted was a complete Jiangnan.

Nodding his head, Lin Feng said, "It's not like I haven't thought about what Master Ding said. However, Jiangnan's financial and material resources are limited. Can we afford such a large territory? If we can't, we will be exhausted!"

"Your Excellency, you should have heard a saying that the timid will starve to death, and the bold will die from starvation. However, what I want to say today is: If you are afraid of your hands and feet, you will never achieve great things." After finishing speaking, Ding Quan bowed at Lin Feng Clasping his hands, he said, "Excuse me for my slip of the tongue. I am getting old, so I will resign from my lord today." After speaking, he was ready to leave.

How can Lin Feng let Ding Quan go?Although Ding Quan did this with the intention of elevating himself, after all, Ding Quan was not considered as Lin Feng's direct descendant, but Lin Feng also knew that the last sentence Ding Quan said was offending him.If someone with a smaller scale is replaced, then Ding Quan's life will be difficult in the future.Instead of this, it is better to go by yourself.

Quickly got up, grabbed Ding Quan, Lin Feng said: "Mr. is serious. What you said, sir, is like enlightenment. Master Ding is right, I am a little timid."

As soon as Lin Feng said this, the other officials also understood what Lin Feng meant.Lin Feng will definitely eat you in the territory laid down by the Iron Armored Army.To this end, Jiangnan must make adequate preparations.

Because the Iron Armored Army advances in multiple ways.Therefore, Lin Feng also had to divide his troops into several groups.Split up to take over the territory.Fortunately, quite a few officials came along this time, together with some of Lin Feng's officials in Jinling, they were barely able to complete this task.

After deliberation, Lin Feng decided to form a strong reception group headed by Jin Quan and Ding Quan, to take over the territory laid down by the Iron Armored Army.Because the Iron Armored Army spread out all of a sudden, Lin Feng also had to disperse his staff.

Because it is definitely not enough for officials to go alone.The armored army is only responsible for fighting and maintaining law and order, they don't care.You must know that after the war, there will inevitably be local hooligans causing trouble, so soldiers must be arranged to cooperate with each route.

In this way, Jiangnan's originally stretched strength is not enough.Lin Feng was naturally reluctant to split up the new army, so at this time, he could only split up Xin Hong's troops.Regarding this, although Xin Hong was not very willing, he faithfully carried out Lin Feng's order.

Starting from Jinling, people from all walks of life set off.Headed in the direction already planned.They are going to take over the territory laid down by the Iron Armored Army and maintain local stability as soon as possible, and do some work well.In short, they not only have to manage people, but also have to stabilize the place and restore the economy as soon as possible.It can be said that the tasks of these people are very heavy, very heavy.

Xin Hong's troops were split, and Jinling's defense naturally seemed somewhat empty.As a last resort, Lin Feng once again issued the conscription order in the name of the Governor's Mansion.Men in Jiangnan are somewhat resistant to being a soldier.After all, Jiangnan is rich and prosperous, who wants to serve as a soldier?Especially at this time, knowing that there is a war, no one wants to go.

"My lord, there is no progress in this conscription work." Xin Hong, who was in charge of this conscription, said to Lin Feng.
