Volume III, Chapter 623
Without waiting for Lin Haotian to speak, Sun Bing and Xu Yanke couldn't sit still, their faces were red and white, and their lungs were about to explode.
Now, before the adult said that he accepted Qualcomm, he began to point fingers at Sang and scold Huai, if the adult really accepted him, he might not know how to go against himself in the future!
The two of them both came out of the ranks, and bowed their hands to Lin Haotian and said: "My lord, Qualcomm is now just a general of a dead country, but he still dares to be so high-flying and domineering, no one in his eyes, and he is in the court of my Dajin, if he really joins our army in the future, then it will be worth it? I hope that my lord will drag this thief out and ask for beheading, so as to comfort the souls of those fallen soldiers in the sky!"
Lin Haotian didn't say anything immediately, rubbed his chin, and was silent in thought.
Gao Tong looked at Sun Bing and Xu Yan, and asked, "I don't know the names of the two generals?"
"Hmph!" Sun Bing and Xu Yaner both raised their chins and pointed their nostrils at Qualcomm, ignoring him.
Wang Han, who was on the side, helped to introduce: "General Gao, these two are General Sun Bingsun and General Xu Yanxu!"
Wang Han and Qualcomm are both red generals, and they are both young talents among the red generals, so they naturally know each other.
Hearing Wang Han's introduction, Qualcomm gratefully arched his hand to him, and then looked at Sun Bing and Xu Yan, and said: "It turned out to be the two generals Sun and Xu, forgive me for being clumsy, and I hope the two generals will not be surprised." ”
Qualcomm still admires the two of them very much, not that they are capable, but that they can not be afraid of personal life and death in the bad situation, and have a determination to die with the enemy at all times.
Sun Bing and Xu Yan don't know what Qualcomm thinks in their hearts, but after all, they are defeated by others, and if they want to come in front of themselves, Qualcomm must be secretly proud!
Sun Bing said in a cold voice: "Qualcomm, you are close to it, just rely on what you do." It's not an exaggeration to die ten times and a hundred times, and now that the Red Kingdom is dead, you want to switch to my Jin Kingdom, and you have to ignore the past suspicions, what you think is beautiful, I can tell you. Today, I will use your dog blood to sacrifice the banner of my navy and avenge my navy brothers!"
He said it impassionedly, but Lin Haotian's face sank. Sun Bing seemed to be confused and forgot a very important thing, in the army of the Jin Kingdom, the person in charge was not him, but Lin Haotian.
Wang Han saw that Lin Haotian's face was not good. He said: "General Sun, in our Jin army, how many generals are not generals? You can't turn people away now because they were enemies in the past, this is not the tradition of the Jin country, let alone the consistent style of adults, in addition, do you want to accept General Gao." It should be up to the adults to decide, and we will wait for the last general. Don't and shouldn't influence the decisions of adults. ”
His words made Lin Haotian listen to it very pleasantly, and his originally gloomy face eased a little.
Sun Bing shivered, and subconsciously glanced at Lin Haotian, and sure enough, the adult's complexion was a little wrong, and he hurriedly arched his hand and said, "My lord." It's the last general who has lost his word, and I ask for forgiveness!"
Lin Haotian didn't want to kill such a stingy person because you said something wrong, on the contrary, he has always been very tolerant of his subordinates, even if he is wrong. He will try not to punish as much as he can, and of course, if the mistakes he makes involve fundamental issues of principle, he will not be relentless.
He smiled and waved his hand, signaling that Sun Bing did not need to be polite, and then, he lowered his head, picked up the literature of the Red Kingdom placed on the table, and said: "According to the records of the Red Kingdom, outside the East China Sea, there are many island countries, and there are constant disputes between each other, resulting in a large number of displaced people, who live by robbing in the sea, and often harass the coastal areas of Donghai County, but this is the case?"
didn't expect Lin Haotian to suddenly ask this question, Gao Tong was stunned for a moment, and replied: "Back to General Lin, there is indeed such a thing, I don't know, why did General Lin ......"
Lin Haotian smiled and said: "The eastern sea disaster has plagued the Red Country for many years, and the only resort is to set up a large-scale naval army in the area of Donghai County, which costs a lot of money every year. Speaking of this, he paused for a moment and asked, "Qualcomm, if Ben Shuai gives you a naval army, can you lead them to conquer those overseas island countries?
Qualcomm's eyes lit up, and he had written a note to the court of Chiguo more than once before about sending troops to conquer the countries of the East China Sea, but when he arrived at the court, he sank into the sea, and there was not even a reply.
Of course, Qualcomm can also understand that the imperial court does not want to send troops to fight the countries of the East China Sea, first, the risk is too great, in case all the losses outweigh the losses, second, the battle line is too long, and it is at sea, it is difficult to make timely supplies, and third, the imperial court does not have such a long-term vision to target overseas, and all the imperial court wants is the land that can be seen and touched in the country.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Lin Haotian took over the Red Kingdom, he set the overseas island countries as the primary target for eradication. At this point, Qualcomm admired Lin Haotian very much, in a trance, he seemed to have the feeling of meeting a confidant, he took a deep breath, and arched his hand to Lin Haotian and said: "General Lin, in the coastal area, the disaster of the sea is worse than that of tigers and leopards, only in Donghai County, there are no less than 1,000 people who die at the hands of pirates every year, and the loss of property is so much that it is impossible to count, if General Lin is willing to send troops to fight, it is really a blessing for the people, a great ...... Blessed with gold!"
Lin Haotian is happy, the East China Sea Islands are indeed a scourge, if they can be eradicated as soon as possible, they should be eradicated as soon as possible, and conquered together, moreover, he is a little jealous of the Jiankang Naval Division and the East China Sea Division of the Red Kingdom, these two naval divisions are too powerful, don't look at the current saying that they have taken refuge in their own side, what if they make trouble in the future? He doesn't even have a way to deal with them.
Let them go to the island country of the East China Sea, not only can they prevent future troubles, but also consume the strength of the Red Country Sailors, killing two birds with one stone, to put it bluntly, it is just a plan to drive the tiger and devour the wolf.
He stood up, walked around the table, walked down from the handsome seat, and when he approached Qualcomm, Lin Haotian patted Qualcomm's arm and said, "General Gao came to surrender, and the marshal is very happy." As he spoke, he said to Sun Bing and Xu Yan again: "General Gao has a very right saying, in the past, on the battlefield, both sides were their masters, and casualties were inevitable. General Sun and General Xu, what do you two think?"
Lin Haotian said so, how could Sun Bing and Xu Yan dare to say half a word, the two of them were depressed, but their faces had to pretend to be very happy, and they both praised: "My lord is wise!"
"If only you two could understand. Lin Haotian nodded. Subsequently, Zhengse said: "Qualcomm listens to the seal!"
Qualcomm's body shook, knelt down again, put his hands on the ground, and knocked to the end.
Lin Haotian said: "Qualcomm has great righteousness in his heart and leads the remnants of the Red Army to surrender. He has meritorious service to our Jin country, and now, Ben Shuai has been awarded the title of Earl of Qualcomm and given the rank of lieutenant general, and in the future, he will continue to be in charge of the Jiankang Water Division and the East China Sea Division. ”
"Thank you, my lord!" After Qualcomm heard the seal, a big stone in his heart finally landed smoothly. It doesn't matter how high or low his position is in the Jin Kingdom, the most critical point is to keep the Jiankang Sailor and the East China Sea Commander. You must know that these two naval armies have been developed by the painstaking management of several generations of the Red Country, which contains too many hard work of the Red People, the Red Country is dead, and Qualcomm does not want to even the water division of the Red Country to disappear together.
"Get up!" Lin Haotian pulled Gao Tong up with a smile, and then took Gao Tong and the generals to personally go to the Jiankang camp to receive the Red Country Water Division.
Take over the sailors of the Red Country. The impact on the Jin country is too great, which is equivalent to directly turning a country without a water army into a water army power all of a sudden. Not only does it have a powerful fleet, but it is crucial that it has the technology and talent to build large and advanced warships, which is something that tens of millions of gold can't buy.
After taking over Jiankang and the East China Sea Division, Lin Haotian deliberately asked Sun Bing and Xu Yan to have more contact with others, and find a way to borrow the talents from these two naval armies. Re-form the Jin Guo Water Division, which only exists in theory.
Sun Bing and Xu Yan gladly accepted Lin Haotian's order, originally they thought that if they accepted Qualcomm, they were afraid that their status as the commander of the navy army would not be able to be maintained, but now they look at it, it doesn't matter. He is still the chief general of the navy, and Qualcomm is going to be sent by adults to fight the island countries in the East China Sea, and it is estimated that he may not be able to come back in a few years.
Sun Bing and Xu Yan hope that Qualcomm will never come back after going to sea, and the person who is diametrically opposed to his two wishes is Wang Han.
Qualcomm can be accepted by Jin Guo and become a member of the Jin generals, and Wang Han is the happiest one. The two of them didn't know each other very well before, after all, one was in the imperial court, and the other was far away in Donghai County, limited by geography, but they had admired each other for a long time, and now they can finally be called ministers in the same hall again, and they are both red people, and it is natural for the two to get closer and closer.
For the current situation of the Jin country, Wang Han gave a detailed introduction to Qualcomm, don't look at the strength of the Jin country to the point where it is now, but there are many internal contradictions, the relationship is even more complicated, there are many factions, one is not careful, you may be in danger.
In the court of the Jin State, there are indeed unimaginably many factions, there are the local factions of the Jin Kingdom, there are the Muren, the Red People, and the You factions, even within each faction, there will be many small groups, and the political opinions between them are not in agreement, if they can kill each other, they will definitely not be soft.
Take the Jin people as an example, Chu Lianyu and Peng Qian seem to have jumped out of the faction, and Xiao Xuan, headed by Prime Minister Tai Shuhong, and Xiao Xuan, led by Zhisu Neishi, are incompatible, and there are often disputes, even if it is the Red faction, it is also divided into the aristocratic faction and the commoner faction, like Wang Han, Qualcomm, Yin Liang, Zhang Rong, these all belong to the aristocratic faction, like Guan He, Zhang Hui belong to the commoner faction, and everyone looks down on anyone.
These many factions coexist in the same court, and they can still suppress the contradictions under the water, and they can also make the Jin court seem united and calm, which has to be said to be a miracle, and the reason why this miracle can be created is that Lin Haotian has contributed a lot.
It's not that Lin Haotian used many ingenious means to resolve the contradictions between the factions, but that Lin Haotian's personal prestige was too high, and with him in charge, he suppressed all the factions and made them dare not act rashly.
There are so many hidden dangers in the Jin court, and the fundamental reason is that it is caused by the rapid expansion, and a contradiction has not yet had time to be resolved, and new contradictions have followed, and in this cycle, it has evolved into today's deformity. It's just because of Lin Haotian's presence that the Jin Imperial Court is still very stable, and it can also achieve superficial unity and work together with the outside world.
Qualcomm had already judged that the situation in Jinguo would be very complicated before it defected, but it didn't expect it to be so complicated and there were so many factions.
After Wang Han finished speaking, he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "I should really thank my lord for letting me go to Donghai County to train a navy, and be ready to go overseas at any time to crusade against the island countries." ”
Wang Han smiled, raised his delicate eyebrows, and asked rhetorically: "The true intentions of the adults, the senior brother will not be able to see it? That is a plan to drive the tiger and devour the wolf, it is to take advantage of the opportunity to conquer overseas island countries to maximize the loss of the Jiankang Naval Division and the East China Sea Division!"
Qualcomm sighed. He said: "How can I not understand the thoughts of adults? However, I was born in Donghai County, and I know very well the danger of pirates, no matter what adults think in their hearts, if they can really eradicate pirates." To ensure the peace and contentment of the people, even if I risk my life, I am willing to do it. ”
When Wang Han heard this, he was quite moved, and there are not many people like Qualcomm who are ambitious and willing to think about the people! He sighed lightly and said: "It's a pity that I don't know how to fight water warfare, otherwise, I really want to go out with Brother Gao to fight and put down the barbarians and bandits!"
Qualcomm said: "Fight overseas. The most feared thing is the lack of logistics supplies, if General Wang Han can stay in the imperial court and help me supervise the logistics, it will be equivalent to a great help to me. ”
Wang Han thought for a while, patted his chest and said, "Although this matter is wrapped up in me. ”
"In this case, thank you General Wang Han in advance. "There are not many red people in the court of the Jin Kingdom, in addition to Wang Han, there are also Yin Liang, Zhang Rong and others, but for these old ministers of the Red Kingdom. Qualcomm has long been desperate and wants to count on them. That really pushed himself into the fire pit, and among so many red people, Qualcomm also saw that Wang Han was still worthy of his trust.
A few days after receiving Qualcomm's sailors, Peng Qian and Chu Lianyu finally arrived in Jiankang.
After they arrived in Jiankang, they shared most of the military and political affairs for Lin Haotian, and the Chidi, which had been incorporated into the Jin Kingdom, began to gradually stabilize.
So far. It was finally time for Lin Haotian to return to Wancheng.
Lin Haotian is leaving Jiankang, and Song Hao is also going back to Xinchiguo, and the two can just go together.
Before leaving Jiankang, Lin Haotian handed over the affairs inside the main to Peng Qian, and handed over the affairs outside the main to Chu Lianyu. Handed over the affairs of using troops to Ding Feng, and everything was settled, he set off to return to Wancheng.
Because the war in Chidi was not completely over, the Jin army that followed Lin Haotian back to the capital only had the Fourth Legion. However, the New Red Army has all withdrawn, and now the situation in Jiankang has been stabilized, Song Hao is going back to the New Red Army, and it is not suitable for the New Red Army to stay in Jiankang.
A few days later, the Jin and Xinchi armies led by Lin Haotian and Song Hao arrived in Chengdu, the county capital of Zeping County.
In the evening, local Jin officials held a banquet in the county capital to entertain the two monarchs, Lin Haotian and Song Hao.
At present, the head of Zeping County is named Wang Song, an orthodox Jin origin, who used to be the head of a place in the Jin Kingdom, and after being sent to Chidi, he became the acting head of the county.
It was rare to have the opportunity to contact adults, Wang Song seemed to be extremely attentive, surrounding Lin Haotian, busy and busy. At the banquet, Wang Song did his best to flatter and praise virtue, and he almost didn't praise Lin Haotian as a peerless master in heaven and on earth.
Everyone loves to listen to good words, and Lin Haotian is no exception, he is in a happy mood, and he naturally drinks more. However, Lin Haotian knows moderation very well, his self-control is also strong, he knows how much he drinks, when he feels that he is going to be drunk, no matter how others persuade him, he will not take another sip.
Seeing that the adults were drinking happily, Wang Songle, who was sitting next to him, couldn't close his mouth, and while Lin Haotian was happy, he pretended to rub his side mysteriously, and said in a low voice: "My lord, the lower official also prepared a gift for the adults this time." ”
"Oh, what kind of gift?" said Lin Haotian with a smile.
"The adults will know when they see it, and the lower officials promise that the adults will like it. Wang Song said confidently, and then he asked his attendant to fetch the gift he had prepared.
Lin Haotian looked up and smiled, and said half-jokingly: "Ordinary things, Ben Shuai won't put them in his eyes!"
After a short time, Wang Song's attendant returned, two people, each holding a large brocade box in his hand.
The two of them came to Wang Song's approach, respectfully put the brocade box on the ground, and made two muffled sounds, obviously the brocade box contained extremely heavy things.
Lin Haotian smiled, looked down at the two brocade boxes, and asked, "Could it be gold?"
Wang Song's face was straight, and he said, "My lord, this is a treasure that is more precious than gold. As he spoke, he got up and opened the two brocade boxes himself.
Song Hao was also very curious, what kind of treasure Wang Song mysteriously gave to Lin Haotian, he stretched his neck, looked into the brocade box, and almost laughed out loud on the spot, and then, he couldn't help but secretly pinch a cold sweat for Wang Song, Lin Haotian is not someone you can joke about casually!
It turned out that the brocade box contained two black iron balls, and they had not been tempered, they looked very rough, and the uneven places could be clearly seen on them.
To say that this is a treasure is simply ridiculous, useless not to say, even if it is placed at home, it will make people feel eyesore.
Lin Haotian looked at it, raised his sword eyebrows, and asked with a smile: "Lord Wang, what the hell is this? Are you joking with Ben Shuai?"
"Wronged, my lord, how dare Xia Guan joke with adults!" As he spoke, he stretched out his hands and picked up an iron ball, because the weight was too heavy, his hands trembled when he held it, he took a deep breath and said to Lin Haotian: "Don't underestimate these two things, this is a cold iron that fell from the sky, it is extremely hard, and it is spiritual, for the underworld warrior, it is a rare good material for building weapons, and there are many people who can't buy a fist-sized piece of cold iron with ten thousand taels of gold!"
The cold iron he is talking about is actually meteoric iron, meteorites fall from the sky, most of them are burned, and the remaining iron pieces are called cold iron, thinking that the cold is too heavy, so it is not burned by the heavenly fire.
As for whether it is spiritual, it is unknown, but it is easier for cold iron to fuse with the underworld, and when the transformation of the beast armor is completed, it can greatly reduce the consumption of the underworld's own underworld, so the cold iron has become a treasure that the underworld warrior dreams of.
It was the first time Lin Haotian had seen such a thing as cold iron, after listening to Wang Song's words, his eyes suddenly lit up, he took the iron ball in Wang Song's hand, held it up with one hand, looked at it repeatedly, and muttered: "It turns out that this is the ...... of cold iron."
He played for a while, his heart moved, and suddenly released the spiritual energy, pouring it into the iron ball, as he injected the spiritual energy, the iron ball suddenly flashed with the glow of ten thousand paths, and the brightness was dazzling.
Lin Haotian did not inject much dark qi, but it had such an effect, it can be seen that the rumors are true, cold iron can indeed be the most perfect fusion with the dark qi, soon, he took back the injected dark qi, looked at the ugly and rough iron ball in his hand, and couldn't put it down.
It has not been built in any way to have such an effect, and if it is made into a halberd that you can take advantage of in the future, its power can be imagined.
The more Lin Haotian thought about it, the more excited he became, and the two tiger eyes also showed a shining light. (To be continued......)
