Chapter 45: On the Reward of Meritorious Deeds
Lin Yuan also didn't expect that choosing to occupy Jiangling Mansion would actually involve a version of the 'Troubled Times'.
But that's not the scariest thing.
He occupied Gangneung City, and relations with the Southern Song court deteriorated, resulting in a state of hostilities.
This is something he didn't expect.
But fortunately, this deteriorating relationship has not yet reached the point of no return.
The relationship value of minus 10 is just a simple hostile state, and the two sides are on alert and will not send troops yet.
With a relationship value of minus 20, both sides are about to start using troops.
Once it reaches minus 30, or worse, it's a never-ending death.
With the current national strength of the Southern Song Dynasty, it is still easy to press Lin Yuan.
Therefore, Lin Yuan did not dare to do anything to offend the Southern Song Dynasty again.

[Wealth]: 300,000 taels of gold
Jiangling City is worthy of being a capital city, ten times richer than Suizhou City.
Yang Mi and others, most of the money looted in Jiangling Mansion were hidden in Jiangling City.
Lin Yuan directly gave them a catch.
300,000 taels of gold, equivalent to 30 million taels of silver, converted into RMB, is 30 billion.
This wealth is enough to feed Lin Yuan's territory for a while.
Lin Yuan's army has 70,000 people, and every month's military salary needs 210,000 taels of silver, and the territory has long been empty.
With these 300,000 taels of gold, the urgent need was directly solved.
Moreover, with this wealth collection, Lin Yuan's plan that he didn't dare to think of before can finally be implemented.
The first thing to do in the occupation of Gangneung City was to appease the people.
Lin Yuan directly issued a list notice and posted it in the whole city.
The content of the text is very simple, that is, he is the vanguard sent by Yue Fei, the envoy of Jinghu North Road, who is responsible for retaking Jiangling City from the hands of Zhong Xiang's rebels.
After the list was posted, it immediately had a perfect effect.
From those rich and wealthy gentry, famous families, to ordinary people, as soon as they heard that it was an army sent by the imperial court, they immediately settled down and opened the door to welcome Lin Yuan's arrival.
The people's hearts and sense of belonging in Gangneung City have been greatly improved.
In fact, to be able to have such a miraculous effect, thanks to Yang Mi.
After Yang Qi captured Jiangling City, in order to vent his anger, the soldiers came down to loot for three days.
During these three days, many wealthy merchants and big families were plundered of many treasures, and the common people were even more miserable, and their wives and daughters were plundered and humiliated, and countless others were humiliated.
The 300,000 taels of gold in Gangneung City were also looted.
In fact, Zhong Xiang's rebel army robbed more than 300,000 taels of gold, and Yang Mi transported half of the treasure away in advance before supporting Dongting Lake.
After Lin Yuan pacified the people, the second thing was to recruit the rebel army that surrendered.
The person responsible for guarding Jiangling City is Huang Zuo, the core general of Yang Mi.
At the beginning, this person was beheaded by Wei Yan.
In addition to him, there were hundreds of rebel leaders.
For these people, Lin Yuan did not execute them, but handed them over to the people of Jiangling City to dispose of.
Unexpectedly, in just half an hour, the leaders of this group of rebel troops were beaten to death by the people of Gangneung City.
The misdeeds of Zhong Xiang's rebel army in Gangneung City have long made the people of Gangneung City deeply hateful, and they hate to eat meat and bedding.
Lin Yuan handed over these leaders of the rebel army, which was able to calm the anger in the hearts of the people.
As for the remaining 100,000 soldiers, Lin Yuan picked out the elite from them, and got 8,000 third-order soldiers and 20,000 second-order soldiers.
The remaining tens of thousands of soldiers all migrated to Suizhou and returned to the peasants.
Eight thousand third-order troops, supplementing the losses of the cavalry battalion and the tiger battalion.
The 20,000 second-order soldiers served as reserves.
In the large barracks of Jiangling City, Lin Yuan took out the statue of the Flame Bear.
[Flame Bear Statue] (small): Worshiped and enshrined, with the power of the flame bear, after use, part of the divine power can be given, up to 50,000 people.
This flame bear god statue is actually a consumable.
The Tiger Battalion had 25,000 men, the cavalry battalion 5,000 men, and then the newly recruited reserve 20,000, exactly 50,000 people.
Lin Yuan summoned the Flame Bear Statue and turned into a door of flames.
50,000 soldiers entered the gate of flame in turn and were baptized by the idols.
The soldier who came out was half a circle stronger, and left a totem of a flame bear on his arm.
[Flame Bear Totem]: Self Strength +20%, Endurance +20%
This is to improve the physical fitness of individual soldiers.
With this 20% strength and stamina, the soldiers under his command will have more durability on the battlefield and the ability to adapt to the battlefield than ordinary soldiers.
In addition, Lin Yuan also took out the elixir in the adventure.
[Medium Grade Qualification Pill]: Taken by military generals, 100% of the bronze and silver ranks will be promoted to the gold rank, the gold rank will have a 10% chance of being promoted to the purple gold rank, the purple gold rank will have a 1% chance of being promoted to the king level, and the king level will have a 0.01% chance of being promoted to the royal rank
Lin Yuan has a total of 50 pieces, that is, he can create 50 golden heroes.
[Washing tendons and cutting myelin pill]: After swallowing, the qualification can be randomly increased by 1~30, and each person is limited to one in his lifetime.
A person's qualifications are like bones.
Commander 20, Armed Forces 20, Politics 20, Intelligence 20, Charisma 20
The sum of the five dimensions is exactly 100 points.
The qualifications are divided into five grades, ordinary talents (10), ten-year elites (20), centennial geniuses (40), thousand-year-old demons (70), and eternal ones (90)
If the qualification reaches 10 points, it is a talent, and below 10 is an ordinary person;
If the qualification reaches 20 points, it is an elite in ten years, and only one is produced in ten years;
If the qualification reaches 40 points, it is a century-old genius, and it is difficult to produce one in a century, and it can leave a name in history;
When the qualification reaches 70 points, it is a thousand-year-old demon, which can be passed down through the ages, such as Zhuge Liang, Zhao Yun, etc., all of which are in this file.
As for the ages, there are only a few people in history who can reach this level, such as Emperor Qin Hanwu, Xiang Yu, Li Cunxiao, etc.
Washing the muscles and cutting the marrow pill, Lin Yuan decided to reward the meritorious general this time.
[Nine Oxen and Two Tigers Pill]: Shennong's collection of ox essence and tiger spirit, blended with Tianchi spring water to refine, after swallowing, can immediately have the power of nine oxen and two tigers.
This elixir is the most special and the least in quantity.
Lin Yuan was wondering if he should refine one first.
One pill can obtain the power of nine bulls and two tigers, which is comparable to the innate divine power of Yuwen Chengdu.
The [force] value of a military commander is the degree of development of the physical body.
To determine the strength of a general, in addition to the level of [force], there are also the strength of the exercises, as well as two hidden attributes, strength and agility.
For example, Yuwen Chengdu is powerful, and Zhao Yun is like a god in marksmanship.
Two people, one is the strength type, and the other is the skill type.
If there is a real fight, no one can say who will win.
Lin Yuan summoned all the generals.
"If I can capture Gangneung City this time, in addition to the rewards for the soldiers, I will also reward the generals."
When Yuwen Chengdu and the others heard this, they all showed excitement.
Rewards are the best way to motivate a general.
"Wei Yan, you take Jiangling City with 7,000 troops, a great achievement, a reward for a tendon-washing pill, 100 taels of gold, and a pair of purple gold armor!"
"Thank you, my lord!"
Wei Yan was pleasantly surprised, he didn't expect that he would be the first to be rewarded.
Therefore, when he took the reward, his hands trembled a little.
"Mr. Kong Ming, you have a good command of the army, and you led the Huben battalion to take Yingzhou, a great achievement, and a pill for washing tendons and cutting the myelin! 100 taels of gold! ”
"Thank you, lord!"
Zhuge Liang took the elixir and gold and smiled lightly.
Washing tendons and cutting down the marrow pill did not have much effect on his qualifications, if he wanted to promote to the next level of qualification, what he needed was a huge heavenly fate, and it was definitely not a pill that could solve it.
As for gold, it can just subsidize households.
This is also the first time that Lin Yuan has relieved his gratitude to the generals.
Next, Lin Yuan rewarded Yuwen Chengdu, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, and Xu Shu with one pill each, ranging from dozens of taels of gold.
For a long time, Yuwen Chengdu and others have been living in the military camp, but Lin Yuan has neglected their personal lives.
Now give some gold and silver, and also encourage the generals to improve themselves.
There are still 4 Washing Tendon Cutting Pills left, Lin Yuan needs one, and Yu Ban keeps one.
The remaining two will be reserved for future rewards.
Next was a group of middle-level generals, who were summoned and rewarded by Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan gave each of them a medium-grade qualification pill, as well as some silver.
Cao Shaoqing, Yang Qin, Gao Cang, Zhou Kang, and Wang Shen, these five people were the first to follow him, and they all received awards.
Yang Qin, Zhou Kang, and Wang Shen, the three of them were promoted to golden generals on the spot, and their combat power soared a lot.
Cao Shaoqing and Takakura, because they are players, the mid-grade qualification pill can only be converted into strength and improve their five-dimensional coefficient.
The silver was of great use to both of them.
Lin Yuan knew that Cao Shaoqing had always liked to look for flowers and ask willows, and Gao Cang couldn't keep his mouth shut about food.
Now that they have 300,000 taels of gold, they should be happy.
Lin Yuan also left 30 medium-grade qualification pills, because after going back, there were still Longxiang battalions that needed to be rewarded, and on the border of Suizhou, a group of backbones also needed to be promoted, such as Cao Ru in Malan City.
As for the last 3 [Nine Cows and Two Tiger Pills], Lin Yuan did not reward them.
He felt that it would not be too late for a general to make outstanding contributions in the future.
