After finally getting through this so-called welcome banquet, Lin Sen and Lin Shuyuan still had to receive their respective subordinates and officially carry out their work.

Since the predecessor either "committed suicide" or had been removed, Lin Sen and the others couldn't find anyone to hand over at all, so they went directly to the barracks to receive their subordinates with supporting documents such as appointment letters.

Of course, the two are definitely going to separate, although Lin Shuyuan is Lin Sen's subordinate, there is still some distance between the two military garrisons.

Although the number of subordinates over there is slightly smaller than that of Lin Sen's side, most of the generals have been retained, and he doesn't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing for him.

Anyway, it is indispensable to deal with those middle and low-level generals under him, and there will definitely be a run-in time.

This kind of thing similar to intrigue, it is indeed not suitable for Lin Sen to do, and Lin Xunyuan, who can be regarded as a dual cultivation of civil and military, is obviously more suitable for this job.

And Lin Sen's generals were almost bald, and he almost had to deal directly with the big soldiers under him, but this was just right for him.

He didn't lack the means to deal with these relatively simple-minded big-headed soldiers, and besides, didn't he come with a group of guards, just arrange these guards to be captains according to the rules of wartime, which could save him a lot of things.

In the future, if he is promoted according to the performance of his soldiers, or waiting for other places to be transferred, it will not affect Lin Sen's control over his team.

Dealing with influential generals is his shortcoming.

Therefore, the arrangement of the two of them is also used according to their talents.

It is not quite the same as the situation in Guangzhou, even if there are no elite soldiers brought by Lin Sen on the Dengzhou side, there is actually a permanent army itself.

This has a lot to do with the geographical location of Dengzhou itself, as well as its military value, and in a certain sense, it can be regarded as a border state.

Dengzhou is not simply a little place like Wendeng or Penglai in later generations, but basically includes a large piece of the entire Jiaodong Peninsula protruding.

The coastline covered is very long, and it is the first line of sea against Baekje, Silla and Wa Kingdom, and while commerce is developed, the defensive pressure is actually not small. After all, the relationship between the Central Plains Empire and the Three Kingdoms of Goguryeo has not always been harmonious.

In addition, it is not very far away, that is, Hebei, which has not been very peaceful, as the base of Dou Jiande and Liu Heimin who raised troops successively, although they have now become a part of the Tang Dynasty, but there are really many locals who died in the hands of the Tang people, and this hatred is afraid that it will be difficult to completely eliminate it for a while.

In addition, the people over there have always been fierce, and when something goes wrong, they will rebel a little, and they often make a noise or something, and in a rich place like Dengzhou, you must always be on guard.

Fortunately, with the current strength of Datang, basically only Datang takes the initiative to fight others, except for Tubo, it is rare to see others come to take the initiative to provoke.

The Three Kingdoms of Goguryeo were even more busy with infighting, and there was no reason to take the initiative to attack them, so the deterrent effect of these soldiers under Lin Sen was greater.

In addition, it is probably a bit of a preparation for water warfare, because the military camp here is directly stationed on the seashore, and there are warships under it, and they have to set off to fight pirates from time to time.

This is also why the guards Lin Sen brought over this time were still those who were very water-based, that is, the ones who went to Guangzhou with him.

The real receiving process was smoother than Lin Sen expected, although there were also some thorns in the head, but it was soon burned by Lin Sen's three fires.

Moreover, among these soldiers, there were some prestigious veterans, who took the initiative to get closer to Lin Sen's side and took the lead in expressing their support, because most of them were Cheng Yanjin and Qin Qiong's old subordinates.

It's just that they didn't become their generals later, but chose to return to their hometown to enjoy their small landlord life.

Don't forget that the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty are not just anyone, they must have a certain amount of property.

For example, these veterans were all following a group of fierce generals from the beginning and made great achievements for the Tang Dynasty, so the land in the family is naturally not much.

The relationship between Lin Sen and the Cheng family's son-in-law is almost known to the world, and there are some other martial artists in the Qin family, and they also hate to wear a pair of pants.

These people publicized Lin Sen's fierce achievements again, and Lin Sen himself also found opportunities to show his skills from time to time, and also ate, lived and trained with them, and the soldiers at the lower levels slowly accepted him as the new officer.

In this process, Lin Sen can be regarded as having figured out all the family backgrounds that he can control, and several warships, from large building ships to small sea cuckoo ships, are well maintained.

And although Shangguan was unlucky before, the gang of sub-army Sima was still maintaining training, so on the whole, the situation of these subordinates was still good, and it could be regarded as instant combat power.

Of course, those recruits still have experienced fewer battles, and it is difficult to say how the big battle will perform, but in general, it should be enough to deal with the current situation.

Although the previous gang of generals have been almost infiltrated and co-opted by various forces, to be honest, the relationship with these big-headed soldiers is not very big.

Most of the henchmen of those former generals are now marginalized in the army.

Therefore, after grasping the ideological work and improving the control, we can carry out the real task that Lin Sen has come to do.

Don't forget, he's here again with a secret mission.

In fact, these tasks can be regarded as the follow-up to the last mission he went to Guangfu, and they are also the real purpose of his series of actions before and after.

And the real purpose of his trip cannot be known, because the interests involved are much greater than those of Spice Island.

If the news really leaked, maybe it will be a war, not a battle between various forces in Datang, but a national war between Datang and several surrounding countries.

At the same time, Lin Sen also understood that even if there was no such thing, between the Tang Dynasty and Goguryeo, and Baekje and the Wa Kingdom, I was afraid that sooner or later there would still be a war.

And with this factor, even Silla, who seems to have the same heart as Datang, cannot guarantee that it will not turn against each other because of this.

In the final analysis, between countries, interests are more important, how can there be eternal friends.

So Lin Sen still has a task here, that is, to think of ways to start weakening the strength of these guys around him.

The way that Lin Sen could think of to cover up was naturally through trade.

Therefore, not long after he set off from Chang'an City, another caravan formed by the Lin family would also come with goods.

Since Lin Sen has become a military leader in Dengzhou, he has the qualifications to enter, and if he doesn't give his family some benefits, wouldn't it seem stupid.
