Chapter 491 Negotiations

The Southern Army was originally an army affiliated with the battle sequence of the Far Eastern dynasty. They were not interested in who became the emperor. After all, the southern region was high and the emperor was far away, and it was the same for who became the emperor, and the impact on them was minimal.

So at the beginning of the meeting, Qin Lan, the Marshal of the Southern Army, told Lin Chuan that the Southern Army would continue to fight under the banner of the dynasty, guard the territory, and would never do anything rebellious.

After all, Qin Lan knew very well that if she really wanted to seize the throne, she would not be able to withstand the brave and war-hardened Zhenxi Army by relying solely on the tens of thousands of old, weak and remnants under her command, so she made a wise choice.

The Southern Army now mobilized twelve infantry battalions in the border area of ​​Leo Province not to confront the Zhenxi Army, but to prevent the rebels of Yuwang Longjing from going south to attack Leo Province.

Although Lin Chuan, the Chief Inspector General of Inspectors, still expressed his understanding of Qin Lan's explanation, he still expressed his understanding: "It is the duty of a soldier to defend his country. The soldiers of the Southern Army were able to guard the border when facing the rebels of the Rain King Long Jing, and would not allow one soldier and one soldier to enter the Leo Province, and would be commended."

Qin Lan didn't take Lin Chuan's praise to heart, after all, both sides knew exactly what was going on in mobilizing troops to the border area.

The Southern Army announced that it would continue to be loyal to the Far Eastern Dynasty, which was something Lin Chuan expected. After all, they were not stupid. Their own army was approaching. If they did not want to perish, this was their only choice.

Since we continue to be loyal to the Far Eastern dynasty, the original hostile relationship between the two sides no longer exists. After all, we are now officials of the dynasty.

On the premise that the Southern Army announced its continued allegiance to the Far Eastern dynasty, Inspector General Lin Chuan proposed the plan to reorganize the Southern Army handed over to him by Emperor Long Han.

Although the Southern Army announced its allegiance to the Far Eastern Dynasty, Long Han could not rub the sand in his eyes. What he needed was not verbal allegiance, but real allegiance. Therefore, Lin Chuan was asked to completely reorganize the Southern Army and become an army that truly obeyed the Far Eastern Dynasty and the army that obeyed the Emperor Long Han.

This was an arduous negotiation. Wang Jing hoped to successfully accept the Southern Army troops without using any force, and then reorganize them, becoming a strong army guarding the south and protecting the granary of the Far Eastern dynasty.

Faced with Wang Jing's reorganization plan, there was strong resistance within the Southern Army, because the noble generals knew that once they accepted the reorganization of the dynasty, their own abilities would be useless, and the people who were abolished would definitely harm their interests. Therefore, they made things difficult for the reorganization plan and hoped to maintain the status quo.

Although the Southern Army Marshal also hoped that the Southern Army would become stronger and did not want the Southern Army to remain weak, she did not give in to the situation in order to win the greatest interests.

"General Lin, we firmly oppose reorganization. Our Southern Army is doing well, why should we accept reorganization?" Aristocratic General Amu stood up first to refute, spitting everywhere.

General Tut also stood up and echoed: "Our Southern Army has been guarding the southern border for hundreds of years. If there is no credit, there will be hard work. You will just reorganize it and want to lay off the old and weak. Isn't this the hearts of the soldiers?"

With two noble generals leading the way, the other generals began to shout loudly against the reorganization. The entire conference room was extremely noisy, just like a vegetable market.

Instead of answering the questions of the noble generals in a direct manner, Lin Chuan asked back: "The Southern Army has low combat power and is called a garbage force. If it is not reorganized and turned into a strong army, how can it guard the dynasty's granary?"

After hearing Lin Chuan's rhetoric, the generals of the Southern Army were immediately furious. Although they knew that the combat effectiveness of the Southern Army was really weak, Lin Chuan said it in public and slapped them in the face. After all, they were generals.

Lin Chuan said that the Southern Army had weak combat power, so he said that they were not capable, so the generals of the Southern Army were immediately furious.

Even the face of the Southern Army Marshal Qin Lan suddenly sank. Lin Chuan's words uncovered the fig leaf of the Southern Army, making their generals feel a little angry.

"Lin Chuan, don't bully people too much. You are insulting our southern army!" a general roared loudly.

Another general slapped the sword on the wooden table and threatened loudly, "If you don't explain clearly today and don't apologize to our Southern Army, our Southern Army will not agree!"

Lin Chuan's uncovered their fig leaf, making them angry. Some people began to verbally abuse and some people threatened loudly. The conference room was extremely noisy, and even the Southern Army Marshal Qin Lan couldn't help but defend the dignity of the Southern Army.

"General Lin, although our Southern Army is looked down upon by you, we have not lost any land in our guards in the southern border for a hundred years, and we have worked hard without any credit. So please respect our Southern Army."

Lin Chuan smiled and explained, "I have no intention of insulting your army. I, Lin Chuan, also respect your army for losing an inch of land in the past century and guarding the border for the country. But Marshal Qin, I think you also know what your army is now degenerating. To put it bluntly, if it weren't for the powerful Far Eastern dynasty, the enemy country would not dare to invade, it would be difficult for you to have an inch of land not to lose with your combat power."

Hearing Lin Chuan's words, Qin Lan's face turned blue and white, and she didn't say anything. Lin Chuan was right. It was not that their southern army was so powerful, but that the enemy was afraid of the revenge of the Far Eastern Dynasty and did not dare to act rashly.

If the enemy country really attacks the southern region, it is impossible to lose an inch of land with their combat effectiveness of the Southern Army. I am afraid that the entire territory will fall in two weeks, and the Southern Army will become the sinners of the dynasty. The reason why they are doing well now is because they are lucky.

"No matter how clever your words are, it is not enough to insult our Southern Army. Our 100,000 soldiers will not agree!" Seeing that the Marshal Qin Lan was speechless, the generals of the Southern Army began to clamor again.

Lin Chuan was also free and easy: "Okay, since you don't admit that you are a garbage army, I have a good idea here, whether you are a mule or a horse, let's set up a formation and do it with real swords and guns. Let's see if you are 100,000 Southern Army good at fighting or our 50,000 Western Army brave!"

"But I want to remind you that as far as I know, although you have a 100,000 staffing, it is probably less than 50,000, right?" Lin Chuan added.

Hearing Lin Chuan's words, the generals showed a look of embarrassment on their faces. It was already an open and upright thing for the army to eat empty wages. Lin Chuan said this directly, which made them very embarrassed.

Faced with Lin Chuan's aggressiveness, the noble generals were speechless for a moment. They kept shouting, just putting pressure on Lin Chuan and trying to fight for more benefits. However, they did not expect that Lin Chuan would not buy it and did not know how to answer Lin Chuan for a while.

Not to mention the 50,000 Western Army, if you just pull out 10,000 Western Army, you can beat their southern army to the point of being beaten. So no one dares to take Lin Chuan's words, it will be a life-threatening person.

The conference room suddenly became quiet, and everyone's noise stopped, and suddenly it became a mess.

Finally, Lin Chuan paused and said, "There are two choices for you. First, accept the reorganization of the dynasty, and second, we will do something. If you win, you can not accept the reorganization."

Facing Lin Chuan's straightforwardness, Qin Lan had to smile awkwardly after a moment of silence. What a joke to do in a battle, isn't that asking for death? So it's better to discuss some practical issues.

"General Lin, if we accept reorganization, the army will be expanded to 200,000, then I hope to know where we officers will go?" Qin Lan paused and said.

When the generals of the Southern Army heard this, they stopped discussing, and all their eyes focused on Lin Chuan in unison, hoping that he would give them a satisfactory answer.

Lin Chuan smiled knowingly when he heard Qin Lan say this, and he knew that she had compromised.

After the reorganization, what they go to do is related to their power and core interests. They serve as generals of the Southern Army. Although the army is low in combat effectiveness, they can still live a very comfortable life. After the reorganization, what they go to do is also what they care about most now. A large part of their previous firm opposition is to seek more benefits at this moment.
