Chapter 383: Triumphant Return

In the war-torn era, the armed forces were the core of one country, and the discord between the armed forces of the two countries directly led to the deterioration of relations between the two countries.

After You Yan's second army returned to China, when they saw their respective monarchs, they both shirked their responsibilities to each other, Yan Jun accused You Jun of not obeying the command and doing misdeeds, and You Jun accused You Jun of being cowardly and unfavorable in command. In the case of different opinions, the monarchs of the two countries will inevitably be dissatisfied with each other.

The rupture of the You Yan alliance can be said to be the biggest victory won by the Jin army in the Great Patriotic War, and the discord between the two armies of You Yan made it impossible for You Yan and the two countries to reorganize and gather their forces, and jointly launched the second war against the Jin State, so that the Jin State, which was exhausted and scarred in the war, got a rare respite.

Now the Jin country has annexed the counties of the wood country as many as eight, the overall national strength is far better than before, at this time the most needs of the Jin country is time, it takes time to fully integrate the counties of the wood country, it takes time to make the resources between the gold land and the wood land get a reasonable distribution, and it also needs time to influence and appease the people of the wood land, so that the wood people and the Jin people become one.

Without external pressure and the threat of a strong enemy, the Jin army led by Lin Haotian could concentrate on these things.

If Lianchi Annihilation is a stepping stone to the rise of the Jin State, then withstanding the invasion of the You Yan coalition army can be regarded as a sign of the true rise of the Jin State.

However, after a war was fought, the military strength of the Jin State was sharply reduced, and the treasury was empty, which can be described as a nerve-wracking battle. The shortage of troops can be filled by recruiting new soldiers, and the shortage of money is the most difficult problem in the Jin Kingdom at present.

In the midst of the war, more than a dozen large cities of the Jin Kingdom, such as Shuangfeng City, Lingcheng, Bocheng, Jiancheng, Liancheng, and Hecheng, were seriously damaged, or even burned down, and needed to be rebuilt, and these had to be rebuilt, and these had to be rebuilt.

The country of Jin was barren, and the people were not rich. It was basically impossible to collect such a huge amount of expenses from the people, so Lin Haotian naturally shifted his attention to the several counties of the Mu Country that had just been annexed, and wanted to collect money from the Mu Country.

Many cities in the Jin Kingdom have been rebuilt, and the most important of them is the southern gateway of the Jin Kingdom, the Twin Peaks.

Because of the plague tactics used by the You army, the plague raged in Twin Peaks. Ren Tianxing tried to prevent the spread of the plague, and also to prevent the Red Kingdom from taking the opportunity to seize the Twin Peaks City, and burned the Twin Peaks City clean with a fire, and now the Jin Kingdom is equivalent to building a new city here.

For this level fortress, Lin Haotian has invested a lot of money and allocated a huge amount of gold and silver to build two cities in a row. Of these two cities, one was built on the site of the original Twin Peaks, and its name is still Twin Peaks. The other was built on the broken Jinkou and named Xingjincheng. Xingjin City can not only plug the loophole of breaking Jinkou, but also echo with Shuangfeng City, killing two birds with one stone.

At the same time as rebuilding the city, Lin Haotian began to recruit troops on a large scale, and the scope of recruitment also expanded from the Jin country to several counties in the wood country, whether it was a Jin or a wooden man, as long as he was willing to join the army. Jin Jun received all the orders.

In the battle against the You Yan coalition army, Lin Haotian could see it. The combat effectiveness of the wooden soldiers is not strong, but it is not that the wooden people are naturally weak, but that the training is not enough, as long as they are trained according to the methods of the Jin army, the combat power of the wooden people and the Jin people is actually the same.

At the same time as recruiting troops, Lin Haotian issued a second military conscription order. Its scope is still counted in the wood country.

During this period of time, although the hostility of the wooden people towards the Jin people has been greatly reduced, and the wooden people have gradually accepted the fact that the wooden country was divided between the Jin and Chi countries. As soon as Lin Haotian's decree on recruiting talents and martial arts was promulgated, there were not a few wooden people who came to participate. This indicates that the wooden people have gradually integrated into the Jin Kingdom. But in the same way, as the wooden people gradually entered the Jin court, there were also real factions in the Jin court.

At present, the highest official position of Mu Ren in Jin State is Mu Wu, in the war with You Yan Coalition Army, Mu Wu commanded the Sixth Army Corps repeatedly made meritorious achievements, and also solved the danger of Wancheng, which made Mu Wu win Lin Haotian's appreciation and trust. In recognition of Mu Wu's merits, Lin Haotian promoted Mu Wu to general and gave him the title of marquis.

Another corps dominated by wooden people, the Fifth Legion, was also reorganized by Lin Haotian.

Guarding Jiangyang, the Fifth Army made great contributions, the battle was so hard at that time, almost the 100,000 people of the Fifth Army fought hard, and in the battle with the enemy, the Fifth Army fought side by side with Lin Haotian, showing tenacious fighting spirit, and would rather die than retreat, and now Lin Haotian no longer regards the Fifth Army as a cannon fodder army, and was promoted to the commander of the new army Jin Cheng as a general, and ordered Tong Lei, who has been performing well for a long time, to be the deputy general of the Fifth Army Corps.

At this point, the Jin State officially had six main legions, namely the First Army led by Ding Feng, the Second Army led by Bi Wu, the Third Army led by Lu Kai, the Fourth Army led by Gu Liangyun, the Fifth Army led by Jin Cheng and the Sixth Army led by Mu Wu, of which the Fifth Army and the Sixth Army belonged to the Muren Legion.

As for the strength of each legion, Lin Haotian uniformly stipulated that it would be 150,000 people. In addition, the garrison of Twin Peaks was reduced to 100,000 and became a system of its own, completely separated from the legions.

In the past, the defenders of Twin Peaks City were all drawn from various legions, accounting for a lot of places in each legion, such as the First Legion, the total strength of which was said to be 17 or 80,000, but in fact, there were only 12 or 30,000 troops in the battle, and the rest of the 50,000 or 60,000 were in Twin Peaks.

Now Lin Haotian has set the strength of each legion at 150,000, which seems to have reduced the strength of each legion, but in fact, the number of combatable troops of each legion has been greatly increased.

After finishing these things intensively, Lin Haotian also officially began to return to the capital.

In this regard, the people of Jin gave the warmest welcome to the Jin army who had returned triumphantly.

Conquering Mudu, killing the king of Mu, occupying several counties in Mubei, expanding the territory of the Jin State on a large scale, and successfully resisting the combined forces of the two kingdoms of You Yan, these feats are still unprecedented in the history of the Jin Kingdom, Lin Haotian and the soldiers of the Jin Army under his command have become the great heroes of saving the country and strengthening the country in the minds of all the Jin people.

The first battle to defend the country also inflated the self-confidence of the Jin people to the greatest extent, and in the eyes of most Jin people, their country's army was invincible and invincible.

When Lin Haotian led the army back to Shuangfeng City, the whole city fell into a frenzied boiling, the streets were full of people, bright red petals were flying all over the sky, and the people of Jin Country were all lit up, which was ten times more lively than the festival.

All the ministers in the court went out of the city to greet them, and even Zhao Yu came in person, ten miles out of the city, to welcome Lin Haotian who returned triumphantly.

Zhao Yu originally didn't want to take Lin Haotian, Lin Haotian first led the army to destroy the wood, and then successfully resisted the million-strong army of You Yan and the two countries, and now his reputation is in full swing......

But now, from the ministers of the court and the central government to the people of Limin, all of them are on Lin Haotian's side, and the ministers have come forward to persuade Zhao Yu, and after persuading him to the end, it seems that he does not do what the ministers want, he is a faint king.

Zhao Yu had no choice but to go out of the city to meet Lin Haotian in person unwillingly and reluctantly. After seeing Lin Haotian, the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty greeted each other with smiling faces, and enthusiastically stepped forward to sing praises of virtue, and only Zhao Yu and Du Qing were present with a bitter gourd face.

When Lin Haotian saw it, he snorted coldly in his heart, and said half-sarcastically and half-mockingly: "The king is unwell and personally went out of the city to greet Weichen, which really makes the last general's heart uneasy!"

Hearing this, Zhao Yu's face was flushed, but it was not easy to refute it, so he just laughed twice and confused the past.

Under the stars of everyone, Lin Haotian returned to his palace, and then he rewarded his ministers for their meritorious deeds, whether it was the generals who went with him or the ministers who stayed in Wancheng, everyone received a large reward.

Now Lin Haotian is rich and wealthy, spending money like dirt, and he looks like an explosive household.

The Jin Army's squad returned to China not empty-handed, but also brought back a large amount of gold and silver, the treasury of the Mu Kingdom and the silver treasury of the palace were carried away by them, and the huge wealth accumulated by the Mu Kingdom for thousands of years was all transported back to Wancheng by the Jin Army.

Lin Haotian was even considering whether to fund the expansion of Wancheng's treasury.

With gold and silver, many things can be solved, especially for Lin Haotian, who is bent on increasing his troops, to get the maximum guarantee. Now, he can rest assured that he can boldly recruit new soldiers throughout the country, and he can rest assured that he can boldly order military funds and ordnance, and there are eight counties in Mubei, and the country of Jin wants money and grain, and the national strength will not only double......?
