Chapter six hundred and sixty-eight wind and clouds
The Nanchuan Army killed more than 100,000 Red Turban Army in the Luoshui River battle, captured more than 100,000, and won an unprecedented victory. The news spread to various provinces and regions of the dynasty. The heroes were shocked and they all turned their attention to the huge force that rose in the Nanchuan Province.
At the beginning of the collapse of the Far Eastern dynasty, the Nanchuan Army had only 100,000 soldiers. The three provinces controlled by them were all poor provinces that had been war-torn. Compared with the fertile dynasty's hinterland, they did not look down on them at all. However, a Nanchuan Army that countless huge forces had to pay attention to was rising on this barren land.
At that time, the Nanchuan Army used one army to resist the fierce attack of hundreds of thousands of troops in the Hanhai. Although they finally won, all forces did not take it seriously. They thought that the Nanchuan Army was a lucky person. After all, the Hanhai Army took the initiative to evacuate. If it was really fought, the Nanchuan Army would definitely be destroyed.
However, in this battle of Luoshuihe, various huge forces had to pay attention to this newly emerging force. If it was a lucky chance to resist the Hanhai Army and achieve a miserable victory, then the powerful strength of the Nanchuan Army that wiped out more than 300,000 Red Turban Army this time was indeed demonstrated.
Faced with the newly emerging Nanchuan Army, the various forces conquering the dynasty's hinterland were very uneasy because they knew that it was very difficult to destroy the 300,000 Red Turban Army with their strength, but the Nanchuan Army did it, and the Nanchuan Army could be said to have made a big splash if it didn't make a sound.
Now all forces in the hinterland of the dynasty have ambitions to be king and dominate. They deliberately accumulated their family background before the Far Eastern dynasty was destroyed and began to plan. Although the strong rise of the Nanchuan Army has not yet affected the hinterland of the dynasty for the time being, they have to attract the attention and vigilance of various forces.
"Send people to Nanchuan Province to thoroughly investigate their strength."
"Start the spy immediately and pay close attention to the Nanchuan Army's every move."
"Send an envoy to Nanchuan Province. If you can form an alliance with the Nanchuan Army, you must seize the opportunity."
"Draw five flag regiments to be deployed to the eastern border area to guard against the Nanchuan Army."
......
The Nanchuan Army became famous in the battle, and the forces of all parties were surging. Some people were excited and some were worried. What was excited was that the rise of the Nanchuan Army could restrain many forces, and the Central Army Marshal Lan Yu was very happy.
Lan Yu's Central Army was stationed on the western border of the Far Eastern Dynasty when the Far Eastern Dynasty collapsed, and it was no longer possible to retreat when the dynasty collapsed. The road was blocked, which was equivalent to being isolated from the western border. Lin Chuan, the commander of the Nanchuan Army, was Lan Yu's son-in-law.
If the two armies form an alliance, with the Nanchuan Army advancing westward and the Central Army advancing eastward, the two armies attack more than ten provinces in the hinterland of the dynasty, it is not impossible to establish hegemony, at least the chance of victory is much greater, so Lan Yu is very happy and hopes that the Central Army and the Nanchuan Army can form an alliance and gather together to keep warm in the troubled times.
Compared with the joy of the Central Army Marshal Lan Yu, the Red Turban Army was very unhappy. They have now become laughing stocks, and 300,000 people have been destroyed, which has greatly damaged the morale of the Red Turban Army and severely damaged their strength. Although they did not express their opinions, they have already accumulated strength in secret to prepare for revenge.
The Northern Army, the Inner Guards, the Storm Provincial Tribal Alliance, the Mercenary Alliance, and the governors of various provinces were mixed, and they were in a wait-and-see state of rising the Nanchuan Army. After all, they were in the hinterland of the dynasty and were still far from the Nanchuan Army, and there was no conflict of interest for the time being.
The Rong people next to the Nanchuan Army controlled area hurriedly dispatched troops and arranged them on the edge of the controlled area to prevent the Nanchuan Army from advancing westward to attack them.
The Rong people originally lived on the vast grassland. All dynasties stationed heavily in the north to defend against the Rong people and prevent them from going south to invade and plunder. However, after Long Han, the last emperor of the Far Eastern dynasty, invited the Rong people to enter the dynasty to help pacify the uprisings in various places, the Rong people never left.
The last emperor's approach was to attract wolves into the house. The rebels from all over the country were not pacified. The Far Eastern dynasty was in name only. The Rong people were stationed in the Far Eastern dynasty and refused to leave. The hundreds of thousands of Rong cavalry occupied a large area of land in several provinces north of the Gyeonggi Province.
The original farmland has become a ranch for the Rong people, and thousands of people of the dynasty have become slaves of the Rong people. If the Far Eastern dynasty is still there, such a thing will definitely not be tolerated. However, the dynasty has been in name only, and various forces are fighting openly and secretly, and they cannot control the lives and death of the people of the dynasty in the Rong people controlled by the Rong people.
Now the rise of the Nanchuan Army threatens the Rong people's infiltration and invasion of the dynasty land. They are very worried about the Nanchuan Army, so they mobilize their troops to start to guard against the Nanchuan Army.
After the Luoshuihe Battle, there were suddenly more unidentified people in the Nanchuan Army controlled area. They appeared around the official offices at all levels, and there were also people wandering around the garrison sites in various cities. More people began to pay homage to Lin Chuan under the banner of their respective forces.
The smaller forces hope to rely on the Nanchuan Army or receive funding from weapons and food. After all, it is easy to enjoy the cool under the big tree, while the larger forces hope to form an alliance with the Nanchuan Army and jointly fight against a certain force. For a time, all kinds of forces appeared, almost breaking the threshold of the Young Marshal Aokigawa Mansion.
There are also small tribes with only a few thousand people far away in the Storm Province, which also hope to form an alliance with the Nanchuan Army, and then the enemy they dealt with was another tribe with a population of about ten thousand. Faced with the people who came to visit every day, Lin Chuan was so busy that he finally gave all these things back to Li Yunshan, the chief of the government.
Since Li Yunshan withdrew from the position of chief of staff of the Nanchuan Army, he has served as the provincial governor. Now, looking at the government affairs of the three provinces of Luoshan, Nanchuan and Jiuyuan, Lin Chuan is Lin Chuan's right-hand man. With Li Yunshan coming forward, Lin Chuan was finally able to withdraw from the rest of the matter.
"Young Marshal, there have been many unknown people from all levels of government offices and garrison camps these days, spying on our background everywhere, and some people incite the people to fight against our government. What do you think of the deal?"
Liu Zichen, the director of the Intelligence Department, reported to Lin Chuan in response to the recent new situation in the controlled area. Now the Intelligence Department has a wide network layout and no movement can escape their eyes.
"Who are they?"
Liu Zichen replied: "It's all people from various forces, and our Intelligence Department doesn't know how to deal with it." Although the Intelligence Department wanted to arrest these people who spyed on the details of the Nanchuan Army, she was afraid of offending the forces behind them, so she asked Lin Chuan for instructions.
Lin Chuan pondered for a moment and ordered: "Send everyone to arrest him and identify his identities. Exit what should be expelled, kill what should be killed, and what should be seized."
Liu Zichen looked worried: "But if they are dealt with, will the forces behind them be...?"
Lin Chuan smiled and waved his hand: "Our Nanchuan Army is no longer the weak Nanchuan Army who was bullied by others. Your Intelligence Department will do it without any trouble. If something happens, the army will support you. For those spies stationed in our controlled area, I will give them a warning and I will stay honestly in the controlled area of our Nanchuan Army."
Now the Nanchuan Army has attracted the attention of all forces. Their spies and sabotage elements will flock into the Nanchuan Army's controlled area, while the Intelligence Department under Lin Chuan began to operate at high speed.
After Liu Zichen said goodbye and left, Lin Chuan called Li Qiye again and ordered him to arrange for strengthening the protection of Nanchuan Army generals and officials.
There is no so-called personal soldiers system in the Nanchuan Army. This is to prevent the generals from being authoritarian. All the generals' guards are sent by Linchuan's Guard Corps and rotated. Their duty is to protect the safety of the generals, and important civil servants also enjoy this treatment, which is a small privilege.
After all, it is very difficult to train a general now. Lin Chuan does not want to be assassinated by hostile forces, so it will be more than worth the loss. Therefore, he attaches great importance to the security and protection of important officials and generals. (To be continued)
