The best little eunuch

Chapter 218 The situation turns sharply
Chapter 218 The situation turns sharply
"This is also what I expected." Lin Feng said: "I have already thought of a way." After speaking, Lin Feng took out a piece of paper and handed it to Xin Hong.

Some inexplicable, Xin Hong took it, and then unfolded it to look at it.

"My lord, this..." Xin Hong was a little surprised.Because the conscription conditions given by Lin Feng this time are unheard of.Serving as a soldier can actually get a lot of money.Even the salary is higher than that of ordinary jobs, which was unimaginable before.In the past, when he was a soldier, after a year, he had three or five taels of silver, so the soldier had to have fun secretly. However, here, Lin Feng actually paid each soldier five taels of silver.And there are more officers.

"That's right, I want to treat soldiers as a profession." Lin Feng said: "I want to change my previous thinking of being a soldier. Soldiers are also a profession. Since it is a profession, there must be wages."

"My lord, if this is posted, those who want to be soldiers will have to stand in a long queue!" Xin Hong said to Lin Feng.After all, such a generous treatment does not mean that you can get it if you get it.

"So, when you recruit soldiers, you must strictly screen them." Lin Feng said: "The recruitment conditions we set before cannot be relaxed."

"Your Excellency, don't worry." Xin Hong said, "Your Excellency will definitely be satisfied." After speaking, Xin Hong went to recruit troops again in high spirits.

With the new conditions, the recruitment has indeed become much simpler.It's just that, Jiangnan has to bear a heavy burden again.Five taels of silver per person, and more officers, so 10 people would get 50 taels in light wages, not including other expenses.Therefore, 10 people come down alone, without seven or eight million taels of silver, it is really not enough.

Fortunately, Shen Lingfeng, the cash cow, brought Lin Feng a lot of income. In addition, Lin Feng controlled the Yandao yamen in the south of the Yangtze River, so the money was indeed quite ample.Saving is enough.After all, money keeps coming in.

Although there was a war, all localities adopted a strategy of turning a blind eye to Lin Feng's salt delivery channel.After all, they couldn't produce salt locally. If Lin Feng's salt was restricted, what would they eat?
It is also thanks to this channel of salt that all kinds of information about Lin Feng can be sent back quickly.This was something that Lin Feng had never expected.

Because of the development of maritime trade, pirates who had almost disappeared have reappeared.At least, Hu Ruowu has reported to Lin Feng and the others many times that merchant ships were attacked by pirates at sea.

For this reason, Lin Feng had to strengthen the strength of the navy again.In terms of policy, it once again tilted towards the navy, and changed the navy to the Jiangnan Navy, with Hu Ruowu as the admiral of the navy.Responsible for maintaining the safety of sea lanes.

Hu Ruowu lived up to everyone's expectations. Immediately after receiving Lin Feng's order, he organized several battles against the pirates.These pirates are indeed vulnerable to a powerful navy.However, there are simply too many of them.Hu Ruowu and the others couldn't handle it at all.

In order to completely put an end to pirates, Hu Ruowu had to start a sea patrol.The navy sent warships to protect those merchant ships, and at the same time achieved the purpose of training the navy.Moreover, the navy has established temporary bases on many islands in the sea.This ensures that the navy can rush to support in the shortest possible time if it needs to get a signal for help or finds that the situation is wrong.Although it can't guarantee [-]% timely, it can also put a lot of pressure on those daring pirates.

And those officials who were responsible for receiving the chassis laid by the Iron Armored Army were also progressing smoothly.Because they all brought their troops there, those hooligans who wanted to take advantage of the chaos to make trouble, after being killed by various officials with sharp knives, all calmed down, and all places were quickly calmed down.

Looking at the report they wrote back, Lin Feng was very satisfied.Everything in Jiangnan is going very smoothly, and the situation outside is also very stable. Everything seems to be developing in the direction Lin Feng expected.But is everything really going so smoothly?But Lin Feng put a big question mark in his heart.

Sure enough, an urgent letter confirmed Lin Feng's guess.The storm is coming.

On this day, Lin Feng was discussing Jiangnan matters with several officials, but was interrupted by an urgent message.Because it was a very urgent message, Yao Xing went straight to find Lin Feng.Passed the information to him.

After taking the urgently written information, Lin Feng said to the officials present, and then hurriedly walked towards his study.Yao Xing quickly followed.The letter was written in code. After Lin Feng translated it, he was shocked by the contents of the letter.

According to the letter, the invincible Iron Armored Army was defeated, and it was completely defeated.Originally, a squad leader of 5000 men from the Iron Armored Army drove straight in, hitting Longyou Province all the way, and it was absolutely overwhelming.It was also like this that this team dared to go straight in so boldly.However, in Longyou, they were ambushed, and the entire army of 5000 was wiped out.

The nearby Iron Armored Army who got the news rushed over quickly and decided to destroy this army and save the face of the Iron Armored Army.But this Iron Armored Army that rushed after hearing the news suffered the same fate as the previous Iron Armored Army... completely defeated.Not a single one was alive.

The Iron Armored Army originally had only 10 people, but this time it lost one-tenth of it. This was unbearable for Murong Long, the leader of the Iron Armored Army, so he gathered the Iron Armored Army from all over the country, and then prepared to fight against it in one fell swoop. Dangping Longyou.However, things backfired.

After Murong Long assembled the remaining 1 troops, he went straight to Longyou.In Longyou, they encountered this army that wiped out [-] soldiers of the Iron Armored Army.This is not an army. To be precise, this army is composed of many troops. Those provinces that have not been broken up by the Iron Armored Army have finally united. This force numbered a staggering million.Just imagine, in the face of so many people, no matter how good the Iron Armored Army is, it will be difficult to support them.They completely exhausted the Iron Armored Army.

No matter how hard the Iron Armored Army can fight, there will be a moment when they are exhausted.At that time, it was the time when the Iron Armored Army was defeated.

"You should take a look too." Lin Feng handed the translated secret letter to Yao Xing and said, "They have formed an alliance."

Yao Xing also hurriedly read the letter, and then said to Lin Feng: "My lord, this is troublesome. They have assembled an army of nearly a million."

"Yeah, this is also something I didn't expect." Lin Feng said: "Although the Iron Armored Army is very powerful, they are hard to beat with two fists. The defeat of the Iron Armored Army is also expected."

"Then... my lord, what shall we do?" Yao Xing asked.

"Follow me to the meeting hall." Lin Feng said, got up and walked towards the meeting hall.

After talking about the current situation with the officials present, Lin Feng asked, "Do you have any good suggestions?"

Hearing the news suddenly, the officials in Jiangnan were also a little shocked: How did the invincible Iron Armored Army lose?This is completely unreasonable.

"You don't need to panic, the Iron Armored Army is just a small part that was defeated by the enemy, and the elite of the Iron Armored Army are still there." Seeing the changes in everyone, Lin Feng said hastily.At this time, the most important thing is to stabilize the morale of the army.Otherwise, the consequences will be serious.After all, if the morale of the army on your own side is not stable, how can you expand outward.

Hearing Lin Feng's words, the officials felt a little relieved, and then started a heated discussion.

At present, it seems that the Iron Armored Army is unreliable. They should have kicked the iron plate. Although the Iron Armored Army will not be completely defeated, it is not so easy for the Iron Armored Army to win.

"My lord, the meaning of the lower officials, let's stabilize the territory we have already controlled for the time being." Li Wenyuan said to Lin Feng: "Of course there is an armored army blocking us in front, and we can just operate with peace of mind in the back. Now all places have just returned Jiangnan, at this time, it is indeed not suitable for war."

"Master Li, what are your different opinions?" Lin Feng asked.

Regarding Li Wenyuan's words, everyone naturally has no different opinions.Li Wenyuan's approach is indeed the safest at present.At least, in this way, Jiangnan can be regarded as taking advantage of it.After all, such a large territory is not just for fun.At present, it will take a long time for Jiangnan to stabilize these sites.

After everyone discussed this policy for a long time and formulated a detailed strategy, the meeting was considered to be over.Then came another deployment.In order to deal with the unexpected situation, Lin Feng transferred Danny's new army to Huguang Province, which was at the forefront of confrontation with the rebels.Moreover, at the same time, officials from all over the country were also arranged to recruit troops.The total number of rebels exceeded 100 million, which was indeed beyond Lin Feng's expectation.In this way, the preparations of the rebels are not insufficient.

When Lin Feng was making emergency preparations, the alliance formed by the rebels also supported the King of Longxi as emperor in Longyou, fighting against Jiangnan.Actually speaking, King Longxi's royal blood is already very thin, and it can even be said that his relationship with the royal family is very far away.Otherwise, he wouldn't be named the King of Longxi.Because in ancient times, when rewarding kings, the fewer words the better.

For example, the former King Wu.The King of Longxi is actually a county king, not a prince. It can also be seen from this that the royal blood of the King of Longxi is very thin.However, this did not affect the rebels to support him as emperor, anyway, he also has the blood of Taizu.

After these rebels established a new court, they actually sent messengers to Jiangnan to declare their decree.He was directly scolded by the emperor.You know, no matter what, the emperor still holds the jade seal.

The so-called those who get the jade seal win the world.This jade seal is the symbol of the emperor.Therefore, before the envoys sent by the Longyou imperial court left, the emperor wrote a stern edict to Longyou according to the emperor's order, ordering them to surrender as soon as possible, otherwise, the imperial court will spare no effort to exterminate them.

Just like the court in Jiangnan doesn't take the court in Longyou seriously, the court in Longyou naturally doesn't take the court in Jiangnan seriously.Moreover, Prime Ministers Li Henian and Liu Rufeng also defected to the court of Longyou. Not only that, a large number of officials from the capital also followed them to Longyou.

It can be said that there is nothing left in the Jiangnan court except for the emperor who is still the original emperor.But Longyou is just the opposite, except that they don't have the original emperor, the others are all the officials of the original court, unchanged.

After Li Henian arrived in Longyou, he actually joined forces with Liu Rufeng to write an appeal to the world.It is said that the court in the south of the Yangtze River is a fake court, and the emperor has been hijacked by Lin Feng.I hope that officials all over the world can unite and overthrow the Nanjing puppet court as soon as possible.

With regard to this call, Lin Feng naturally would not show weakness, and immediately organized Jiangnan officials to write a more influential call.It is said that the imperial court in Longyou tried to usurp the throne in vain, they were traitors and traitors, and everyone in the world got to punish them, and this document was also stamped with the seal of the jade seal, which was much more important than Longyou's document.

When Lin Feng and Longyou were arguing with each other, the Iron Armored Army was not idle.The dignity of the Iron Armored Army cannot tolerate their defeat.Therefore, they attacked Longyou wave after wave.

Although Longyou had a large number of people, they couldn't stand the desperate attack of the Iron Armored Army.After all, the strong combat effectiveness of the Iron Armored Army was not blown out.Taizu's saying that one hundred thousand iron armors will flatten the world was not just casually.The Iron Armored Army did not change face in front of an enemy ten times larger than itself.And it has firmly gained the upper hand.

Lin Feng who got the news also had to sigh: Iron Armored Army is Iron Armored Army.

"Yes, my lord, this armored army has indeed helped us a lot." Li Wenyuan also said.If there were no Iron Armored Army blocking the front, I am afraid that the army from Longyou would have come over long ago.Lin Feng doesn't have the strength to fight Longyou yet.

"Thanks to the Iron Armored Army." Lin Feng said: "We also have to speed up the progress of the soldiers' training. We can't put all our hopes on the Iron Armored Army."
