Dynasty Conquest

Chapter 299
In the autumn of [-], Lin Chuan led [-] Nanchuan soldiers to Qingmuchuan, an important town in Nanchuan Province, where they were resting and reorganizing. For these soldiers who were fighting bloody battles, the people of Qingmuchuan greeted these soldiers with empty alleys, bursting out with great enthusiasm.

Qingmuchuan is the gateway to Nanchuan Province, guarding the border of the province, and has always been a battleground for military strategists. The first battle of the prisoner army entering Nanchuan Province broke out in Qingmuchuan, so Lin Chuan is very concerned about this This city has a special feeling.

Qingmuchuan is now under the control of the Nanchuan Army. As the Nanchuan Army occupied Qingmuchuan and established the Consul Office, the exorbitant taxes of the original dynasty were abolished one by one, replaced by various favorable policies that reward farming and weaving, and encourage merchants. Thousands of refugees poured in, and this original military town on the provincial border has now turned into a bustling commercial city.

Everything in Qingmuchuan was given by the Nanchuan Army. The people are simple and grateful. They were allocated fields and received preferential treatment from the Nanchuan Army, so they are grateful to the Nanchuan Army.

For these soldiers who fought bloody battles on the front line to defend their victory, they were sincerely grateful and supportive. Therefore, when they heard that the Linchuan Legion had repelled the attack of the Dynasty army and was about to withdraw to Qingmuchuan to rest, the entire Qingmuchuan suddenly boiled.

Countless excited residents rushed to tell each other. In less than half a day, the news spread throughout Qingmuchuan and its surrounding villages and towns. Countless residents of surrounding villages and towns rushed to Qingmuchuan with their wives and children, wanting to see the elegance of the Nanchuan army.

Huge welcome banners were hung on the streets of Qingmuchuan City, and the excited people took out the best food stored in their homes, preparing to entertain these soldiers who had returned from the expedition.

Because the Linchuan Legion is coming, the entire Qingmuchuan seems to be welcoming a grand festival, filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

The governor of Qingmuchuan, the garrison battalion and other officials at all levels are also actively preparing various food and camps, preparing for the arrival of the Linchuan Army.

On November [-]th, the residents of Qingmuchuan got up early, put on festive costumes, left their homes in groups, and took to the street, ready to welcome the returning soldiers.

At nine o'clock in the morning, tens of thousands of people gathered on the street. They held colorful flags, carried food, and stood on tiptoe, looking forward to the Linchuan Army. They were sweating profusely, but as members of the Nanchuan Army, they showed pride on their faces.

Jia Hong, the ruling official of Qingmuchuan, and Zhou Jie, the commander of the Banner Banner Battalion of the Guard Banner, led a large number of officials out of the city five miles early to meet them. Behind them, the plains and hillsides on both sides of the road were very lively. Tens of thousands of people.

Lin Chuan didn't know that an extremely grand welcome ceremony was waiting for them.

Because they were about to arrive at Qingmuchuan, the footsteps of these soldiers who had traveled a long distance and returned victorious became lighter, with smiles on their faces.

The [-] soldiers arrived at Qingmuchuan. For the commander Lin Chuan, this was not an easy task. All kinds of complicated things were waiting for him to do. He was about to arrive at Qingmuchuan. Lin Chuan All the corps, banner regiments, and banner battalion generals were called together for an emergency meeting.

Lin Chuan reiterated the importance of military discipline at the meeting, and required all units to cooperate with military judges to implement military discipline issues, and felt that it would not be allowed to discredit Lin Chuan's army for violating military discipline.

Now the [-] soldiers of the Lin Chuan Legion have been fighting on the front lines. Now that they suddenly relax and enter the city, some unpleasant things will inevitably happen. Lin Chuan emphasized that military discipline is a vaccination.

After the generals left, Lin Chuan asked Li Yunshan, chief of staff, "Have you selected the camps?"

Li Yunshan looked at the worried Lin Chuan and replied with a smile: "Master Jia, the consul of Qingmuchuan, has sent someone to bring a message. The camps of our legion have been arranged. The camps are in the south and east of the city, and they can move in at any time."

"Well, let's arrange for the first and fourth corps to be stationed in the south of the city, and the fifth and sixth corps to be stationed in the east of the city." Lin Chuan quickly arranged the order of the garrison.

"Yunshan, there is something else I haven't considered, you can help me think about it." Because it was the first time to lead the army back to the station, Lin Chuan seemed extremely nervous, for fear that something he hadn't considered would affect the relationship between the army and the people, and discredit the Nanchuan army. After all, it is not an enemy battle zone, everything must be considered carefully.

Seeing Lin Chuan's nervous appearance, Li Yunshan smiled: "General, you can rest assured that everything has been properly arranged."

Just as Lin Chuan and the others were preparing nervously, the people waiting in Qingmu River were already full of voices. Thousands of people blocked the water on both sides of the avenue. They stood on tiptoe and looked forward to it.

"Stand up straight—" Zhou Jie, the flag commander of the garrison battalion, loudly reminded the soldiers of the garrison battalion holding the flag. As a lieutenant general, he didn't want to embarrass himself in front of his allies.

"Here we come! We come—" Suddenly, cheers erupted from the crowd, and the people heard the sound of horseshoes.

"Da da da——" With the sound of horseshoes, a large cloud of dust rose in the distance, and more than a dozen scout Qingqi covered in black armor appeared in the sight of the people of Qingmuchuan.

The welcoming people all over the mountains and plains burst into cheers like a tsunami when they saw more than a dozen black armored cavalrymen.

"Warning!" Li Qiye, the battalion commander of the scout banner who was in charge of leading the team, was startled when he saw the crowd all over the mountains and plains. He put his hand on the handle of the knife and reined in the horse from a mile away.

"Boss, it's the people who welcome us!" A scout said excitedly, pointing at the crowd cheering like a tsunami, "They are shouting to welcome the First Legion."

Li Qiye, the battalion commander of the Scout Banner, listened carefully to the fact that this was the case, his tense nerves relaxed, and a smile appeared on his face: "Go, go back and report to the general!" After speaking, he turned his horse's head and led the cavalry towards the army. Come and go.

The black armored cavalry that appeared in the field of vision caused the crowd to burst into cheers, but seeing the cavalry hit their horses and leave, the crowd froze, not knowing what was going on.

"Old Zhou, why did they leave?" Consul Jia Hong was also puzzled, and turned to ask Zhou Jie, chief of the Qingmuchuan Garrison Battalion.

Zhou Jie explained with a smile: "The field legion usually has scouts to explore the way. Just now, they were scouts. The wayfinders, the army is coming soon."

"Oh, so that's the case." Consul Jia Hong suddenly realized and breathed a sigh of relief: "I thought we didn't entertain well, and they left."

"Tell the people that they are scouts, and the army will arrive soon." The consul Jia Hong sent a messenger to say.

After hearing Jia Hong's words, the people who were originally puzzled by this matter were aroused once again, and the crowd was excited: "That's the scouts, they are so majestic on horseback!"

"That's the soldiers brought out by General Lin. They can beat ten with one. How can they not be majestic!" The crowd whispered, discussing the scouts who had just appeared.

"I didn't expect the Nanchuan Army to be so popular." The young man in white who was mixed in the crowd muttered to himself, full of surprise when he saw the roar of people, probably no less than one hundred thousand welcoming crowd.

"My lord, these are just some untouchables..." The man dressed as a servant was about to speak when he was interrupted by the gaze of the Ninth Young Master.

Master Jiu said earnestly: "Xiao Qi, these are the people of the dynasty, don't you think about why they turned to the Nanchuan army now? So don't call them untouchables in the future."

"Young Master taught me the lesson." Xiao Qi bowed his head and admitted his mistake.

Seeing Xiao Qi's unconvinced gaze, Young Master Jiu sighed slightly and didn't speak any more.

The dynasty has been established for more than three hundred years, and the nobles have experienced too long a comfortable life. The long-term prosperity and wealth have made them forget some of the most basic things, that is, all their enjoyment is based on the hard work of these untouchables in their mouths. .

Now the contempt of the nobles of the dynasty for the common people has been deeply rooted in their bones. They think they are superior and look down on the common people. They don't know that their ancestors were also born in the common people hundreds of years ago.

"It seems that the dynasty needs a thorough reform." The ninth son looked at the cheering crowd and had already made a decision in his heart.
