It rained heavily overnight, and the morning air was filled with the smell of soil. The streets of Thunder City were wet. On the streets near the city gate, the early vendors had already set up breakfast stalls in the open space. The steaming porridge was boiling in the pot, and the fragrance of roasted cassava began to drift.

"Boss, come two black-fried steamed buns and a bowl of porridge." The early traveler waited for the gap where the city gate opened to take the opportunity to eat something to avoid hunger on the way.

The mercenaries with heavy swords on their waists also arrived at the city gate with their goods. The waiter at the stalls hurriedly greeted him loudly. These mercenaries who were licking blood at the knife were generous and were the main guests of these breakfast stalls.

As the capital of Leo Province, Leiming City has its own schedule for opening and closing the city gate, so there are more and more merchants, travelers and mercenaries gathered at the city gate, and dozens of carriages were blocked on the street, and the streets became more and more lively.

These are people who are about to travel far away. Before the city gate was opened, they temporarily took breakfast at the stalls next to the street to fill their stomachs, and the crowds were crowded.

There are rivers and lakes in places where there are people. People in the southern region do not live as hard as those in northern provinces. As long as they work harder, there is no problem of having enough food and clothing. Once there are more people, they will talk more topics.

People have always been gossiping, and the topics they talk about are always inseparable from those nobles who are rich in food or officials who hold high power. For ordinary people in the market, these are some topics of conversation in their spare time after having a meal.

"Have you heard it? The new supervisor of our dynasty, General Lin, is so powerful. So many nobles will kill him if they say anything..." A traveler at the stall was gnawing on the black-faced steamed buns and began to discuss the recent current events.

"That's right? Viscount Asi is usually a powerful figure in Nanzhen. Even our Lord Leiming City must respect him. At the command of President Lin, Viscount Asi was confiscated. It's so regrettable."

Someone sneered and took a sip of porridge and said, "What's there to regret? Viscount Asi has occupied more than 100,000 hectares of fertile land, forcing many families to be destroyed and homeless. From my perspective, General Lin is a good killer."

"That's true. I heard that General Lin ordered the distribution of land to slaves and civilians. Speaking of which, only General Lin in our dynasty dared to treat nobles like this. There are not many good officials like this now." Someone sighed.

"No matter how powerful it is, it is just a grasshopper in the autumn. It won't be long before the nobles unite..." After hearing the talks of these common people, the experienced mercenaries spoke mockingly.

After hearing the mercenaries speak, although everyone talking is dissatisfied, they can't help but worry about Lin Chuan. After all, in their minds, Lin Chuan is a good official, and they don't want Lin Chuan to be overthrown.

"What are you afraid of? President Lin is decisive in killing. His Majesty is now wise, even if those nobles unite, they are not afraid." Someone comforted him.

"Yes, do you know the lion mercenary group stationed at the Black Valley outpost? We have made many troubles to our caravan on weekdays. This time, General Lin killed dozens of people and compensated a large amount of gold coins. It is really proud. Our caravan firmly supports General Lin."

Hearing this, the mercenaries who had mocked the people before kept silent and hurriedly checked the bill and left. They knew about the lion mercenary group, so they were still interested and afraid of Lin Chuan.

Mercenary Unions belong to the mercenary empire, and their subordinate mercenary groups travel around the world. They rely on the support of the mercenary empire and do not take the officials and people of the Far Eastern dynasty seriously at all. They are used to being arrogant and domineering in their daily lives.

What's more, some mercenaries are doing things like robbing families and robbing houses from time to time. From time to time, they can kill some remote villages. For these fierce mercenaries, the local garrisons have no choice but to do anything about these fierce mercenaries. Even if they catch officials, they can only be expelled from the country. After all, they are related to the relationship between the two countries.

Now Lin Chuan is very strong and resolutely defending national sovereignty and territorial integrity. He is ruthless in the arrogant and domineering mercenaries who violate the laws of the Far Eastern dynasty. He kills those who should be blocked and those who should be killed. Many mercenaries fell into Lin Chuan's hands, so the mercenaries are now afraid of talking about Lin Chuan.

While the people waiting to leave the city were talking, the sound of clanging and neat footsteps sounded on the streets in the distance, and dozens of elite soldiers from the west of the town came lined up in two columns towards the city gate.

Seeing these energetic and murderous soldiers in Zhenxi Army who were surrounded by murderous aura, as dynasties, naturally gave a thumbs up, and a sense of pride came to their senses. These are the elite troops of the dynasty, the army that defended the country, like the previous Southern Army.

In the minds of the residents, the Southern Army was even more abominable than those bandits and bandits. They had almost nothing good to do except bully the good and help the nobles bully the people.

The Southern Army had a bad reputation, so naturally they could not recruit any excellent soldiers. In order to maintain their strength, the generals had to recruit some lazy gangsters. These people wore Southern Army uniforms and worked in their previous careers, which not only ruined the reputation of the Southern Army, but also further reduced the combat effectiveness of the Southern Army, which led to the Southern Army's vicious cycle.

This is also the reason why Lin Chuan did not follow the advice of Qin Lan, the Southern Army, retained some of the forces of the Southern Army, and demanded the re-establishment of the Southern Army. The Southern Army has become so devastated that it cannot be cured at all. It is better to push it down and start over.

After dozens of soldiers from the west of the town arrived at the city gate, they stood neatly on both sides of the city gate without a trace of noise.

"The time has come - open the city -" With the shout of the officer on duty, the big bell hanging on the city tower was ringing, and the four gates of Leiming City slowly opened.

When the city gate opened, some soldiers from the west of the town left the city to maintain order, while some stood in the city.

The business travelers who had been waiting for a long time began to leave the city in an orderly manner. The mercenaries who had always been domineering and had their habit of jumping into the city when they saw the solemn soldiers of Zhenxi, and they all restrained their habit of jumping into the city and lined up to leave the city obediently.

Since the Zhenxi Army arrived in the province of Reo, both the residents and the merchants and mercenaries have felt significant changes. All the unhealthy trends have been swept away, and the sky has suddenly become clear. They are full of gratitude to the Inspector General who has changed all this.

Although many people do not know Lin Chuan, as various measures are advanced, Lin Chuan has already gained a broad mass base in the southern region. People talk about Lin Chuan, except for those nobles whose houses were confiscated.

The city gate was in order, and soon another officer from the western army in the town began to post recruitment orders on the city wall.

The Southern Army was useless. The assessment team led by Lin Chuan and Qin Lan conducted an assessment of the eighteen infantry battalions of the Southern Army that did not participate in the rebellion. In the end, less than 10% of the soldiers and officers were qualified, and the rest were all discharged.

The Southern Army carried out a major sack, and the subsidy for settlement costs alone cost one million gold coins. Of course, these were allocated from the aristocratic family searches, but Lin Chuan felt that it was worth it. It would be better to learn from the pain and solve it at one time.

The Southern Army has become at this point. Although Marshal Qin Lan has responsibility, she still has troubles. Although she once wanted to rectify the Southern Army, from top to bottom, all noble officers and generals were in power. Her orders were similar to waste paper when she gave the commander's tent, and she was also powerless.

In the end, Qin Lan could only come up with a compromise, which was to cultivate her confidants and gradually change the other battalions. This time, the two infantry battalions controlled by Qin Lan personally passed the assessment, which shows that there are still some results.
