False Eunuch: With Many Children, I'm as Happy as a Fish in Water

Lin Chen knew that at this time, even if he made some excessive demands, Li Zhao would agree.

That being the case.

"I sincerely request you to open the arsenal and obtain more than ten thousand soldiers and armor to equip the soldiers."

Li Zhao frowned slightly when he heard Lin Chen's request.

After thinking for a long time, he reluctantly said a word.

"Can."

When Lin Chen heard this, he felt relieved.

The newly recruited soldiers of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division are, to put it bluntly, civilian men.

Think about it from another angle.

The rebel army of the White Lotus Sect are also civilians.

Civilian husband vs. civilian husband, it depends on who has better equipment.

In ancient times, there was a huge gap in combat effectiveness between soldiers wearing armor and soldiers without armor!

After all, if you strike with a knife, the armored person will most likely be fine. On the other hand, the other party can disembowel you with one strike.

Furthermore, this arsenal contains the weapons and equipment used by the generals every year, and cannot be opened without the emperor's decree.

You must know that the Beijing camp will only open its arsenal and equip armor when it goes out in war.

It seems that the emperor is somewhat reluctant to part with these equipment for a cannon fodder.

"By the way, Lin Qing, I plan to give you someone to be your deputy."

Um?

Lin Chen, who was already satisfied and planning to leave the palace, heard Li Zhao change his subject.

"Ying Lian, come out and meet Lin Du."

Lin Chen couldn't help but narrow his eyes when he saw the heroic figure coming out from behind the screen.

This was in the emperor's inner palace, and she was actually wearing the bright red general's heavy armor and holding a silver spear.

What shocked Lin Chen even more was what this woman said to him.

"Mu Guiying, I have met Lin Dotong."

Lin Chen suppressed his desire to complain and stood up to salute.

"Tomorrow, I will go to the Lindu Army to report." The girl nodded towards Lin Chen rather valiantly.

"Okay." Lin Chen waved his hand and agreed calmly.

…

After leaving the palace,

Lin Chen came all the way to the Prince's Mansion, only to see Shangguan Wan'er already waiting here.

The frowning Shangguan Wan'er was seen looking at a certain memorial, so Lin Chen didn't even notice when he walked behind her.

"What's this?"

Shangguan Wan'er's face was startled when she heard the voice, and she subconsciously struck Lin Chen's heart with a pair of jade hands.

Fortunately, Shangguan Wan'er reacted and stopped, and the thrust turned into a gentle slap.

"When did you come?"

"I just arrived. You were fascinated when I saw Wan'er." Lin Chen said innocently.

"If I don't stop, your heart will be broken."

"I don't think Wan'er would murder her husband." Lin Chen took the jade hand, took the beauty into his arms and sat down, smiling.

He struggled with Shangguan's wrist to no avail, so he sat down peacefully.

Lin Chen looked at the contents of this memorial and his eyes narrowed slightly.

What this report says.

There are twelve prefectures and forty-six counties in Gyeonggi Province.

The two prefectures and seven counties were captured by the White Lotus Sect thieves, and all the officials were beheaded.

Now the White Lotus Sect is still spreading to the capital, and there has been a wave of rebellion in three prefectures.

These victims, who were waiting to die under the flood, were willing to use their only flesh and blood to bring down these high-ranking officials.

At present, the White Lotus Sect's rebel army has expanded to more than 200,000 people, and its scale is still increasing.

"Does the White Lotus Sect only operate in Gyeonggi Province?"

This Li Tang Dynasty can be regarded as a unified dynasty with a vast territory.

"Yes~"

Shangguan Wan'er's voice was trembling, and she wanted to take away Lin Chen's demonic hand from her body.

"So, Wan'er, do you already know about me leading the army to suppress the rebellion?"

Lin Chen smelled the body fragrance of the beauty in his arms and felt a little crazy.

"I know, Your Majesty. In His Majesty's decree, you are promoted to the rank of general against rebellion and promoted to the fifth rank."

Just upgraded to level three?

Lin Chen clicked his tongue and thought.

certainly.

If you are an ordinary official, it will take you seven or eight years to climb the third level.

"I asked you to practice martial arts earlier, and now you are leading the army on an expedition, but life and death are unpredictable."

Shangguan Wan'er's tone was a little solemn when she mentioned this matter.

"It only takes a few months, and my martial arts training won't improve much."

"At least it will prevent you from being hurt by stray arrows when fighting in the battle formation."

Lin Chen heard the deep concern in Shangguan Wan'er's words.

To be able to make this strange woman say these words, I think he has some status in her heart.

"Let's not mention this matter for now. Your Majesty has arranged a deputy for me."

"who?"

"Mu Guiying."

When Shangguan Wan'er heard Lin Chen's words, a look of surprise flashed across her pretty face.

"It's actually her?"

According to Shangguan Wan'er's explanation, Mu Guiying was the daughter of a bandit whom Li Zhao had kept in the palace many years ago.

Her father was killed by officers and soldiers, but she was rescued by Li Zhao.

But he didn't expect this woman to not learn red makeup and love martial arts and military tactics.

"I wonder how much this Yinglian has learned from the art of war."

Shangguan Wan'er's understanding of Mu Guiying was obviously limited to this.

When Lin Chen heard this, a look of understanding flashed in his eyes.

Shangguan Wan'er had an indifferent attitude towards Mu Guiying, but Lin Chen was well aware of his abilities.

If you look at the generals who have left their names in ancient history, the other party is also ranked high.

In particular, his martial arts cultivation has reached a first-class level. At his age, he can be called a genius.

Shangguan Wan'er, who didn't know what Lin Chen was thinking, breathed a sigh of relief.

"It seems that His Majesty asked Mu Guiying to accompany the army because he wanted to take you away when you were in danger."

A first-class warrior.

It is not too difficult to take someone away from the battlefield.

Yeah?

Lin Chen felt that this was definitely not what Li Zhao had in mind.

Forget it, let’s take it one step at a time.

Lin Chen couldn't help but feel a surge of heat in his heart when he noticed the slightly rising body temperature of the beauty in his arms.

He has a beautiful woman in his arms, but he is not Liu Xiahui, and he cannot be a true gentleman.

About an hour and a half later.

Lin Chen just rode back to the Five Cities Military and Horse Division.

Just look that there is no one in the company.

Lin Chen thought of something and went straight out of the city regardless of the darkness.

really.

Lin Chen found the commanders who were recruiting soldiers in the refugee camp.

"Lord Tutong!"

"Lord Tutong!"

Yang Zhi knelt down on one knee and saluted.

The other commanders also followed suit.

"How many soldiers are you recruiting now?"

"Your Excellency, we have recruited six thousand qualified soldiers!"

When Yang Zhi talked about the results of recruiting soldiers, there was a hint of excitement on his face.

Obviously I didn't expect there to be so many qualified soldiers.

Lin Chen was not too surprised.

After all, those who were able to make it all the way to the capital alive had already been eliminated.

In other words.

Nowadays, most of the disaster victims' camps are from qualified soldiers.

"How many people can be recruited by noon tomorrow?"

"It can reach 20,000!" Yang Zhi replied respectfully.

"Okay, at noon tomorrow, your commander will lead his people to the arsenal to receive the armor."

Lin Chen made arrangements for tomorrow and did not go home to enjoy the comfort of bed.

Instead, he recruited soldiers on site together with Yang Zhi and other troops from the five cities.

It didn't stop until midnight.

at the same time.

News of the White Lotus Sect's rebellion quietly spread throughout the capital.
