Looking at Zhang Yiming's previous status in the Jianchun Sect, we can see how weak the Zhang Weibing family's influence has become.
So as soon as Zhang Yiming introduced Lin Yi's identity and title, Zhang Weibing subconsciously wanted to kneel down.
How could Lin Yi really make him kneel down? He quickly reached out and grabbed Zhang Weibing's arm through the fine iron fence.
"Uncle Zhang, there is no need to be polite. In the army, Yi Ming and I are superiors and subordinates, colleagues. In private, we are brothers. That is true. We are brothers! You are an elder. If you are polite, you will offend me."
"Commander...His Royal Highness Wangsun..."
Zhang Weibing was a little incoherent.
He really didn't expect such a scene to happen.
He was imprisoned, his property was taken away, and his family was destroyed. He was almost in despair!
Lin Yi suddenly appeared and called him uncle... Why does it feel like he's dreaming?
"Commander! The Lord of Yunying City framed my family and imprisoned the general. Please make the decision for the general!"
Zhang Yiming doesn't care about his father, but first files a complaint in front of Lin Yi. That bastard Huo Jingtian, wait for death!
Unexpectedly, Lin Yi just smiled and shook his head: "I don't care about this matter, you can figure it out on your own!"
Zhang Yiming was shocked, what? Commander, you don’t care?
No, Senior Brother Sima, brother! If you don’t care, I can’t defeat Huo Jingtian!
Lin Yi turned around and motioned to the people next to him to open the cell door, and personally welcomed Zhang Weibing out. Then he continued with a smile: "Huo Jingtian intends to rebel, and he is probably not dead. Uncle Zhang will work harder in the future, and temporarily let Yun
Take up the burden of Yingcheng!"
Zhang Weibing and Zhang Yiming, father and son, looked confused. What does this mean?
"I am the commander-in-chief of the war in Northern Xinjiang, and I have the power to make emergency decisions. Huo Jingtian is suspected of treason, and it must be a conspiracy of the enemy! No matter whether he is still alive or not, he cannot continue to be the city lord of Yunying City. From now on, Uncle Zhang will be Yunying City
The new city lord!"
Zhang Weibing continued to be confused. His family was about to be ruined, but he suddenly became the lord of Yunying City?
It’s so unreal!
You are really dreaming, right?!
Zhang Yiming reacted quickly. Knowing that Lin Yi did have this power, he was overjoyed and bowed and clasped his fists: "Thank you, Commander!"
With Lin Yi's words, the Zhang family would rise from an ordinary rich man with mineral wealth to the aristocratic class of Hongshang County!
Although the position of commander of Tingfeng Camp is not weaker than that of the city lord of Yunying City, it is only effective in the military.
After the class, if the Royal Capital garrison returns to its duties, it is not certain whether Tingfeng Camp can still be retained!
"Between you and me, there is no need to be polite. Let's go out first!"
Lin Yi waved his hand carelessly.
Of course, the stronger my younger brother's family is, the better. Regardless of whether they can provide help, at least they can live well even if I leave in the future.
The prison was never a place to talk, so Lin Yi quickly walked out with Zhang Yiming and his son.
Just a moment later, Song Shaopeng and the cavalry from the Guards Battalion appeared on the street in the distance again.
The evil aura was a little stronger, and there was more blood on his body. It was obvious that Huo Jingtian's pursuers were finished.
"Report to the Commander-in-Chief that the rebels have been annihilated. The Guards Battalion killed 1,073 enemies and the rest were captured! The head of the rebel leader Huo Jingtian is here!"
Song Shaopeng rode his horse to Lin Yi, dismounted neatly and picked up a human head that was still bleeding.
It was Huo Jingtian, the lord of Yunying City who was trying to please Lin Yi just now.
Lin Yi just glanced at it and stopped paying attention to Huo Jingtian's head: "How is the damage to the guard camp?"
In fact, there was no need to ask. With just a glance of his consciousness, Lin Yi knew that there were many casualties in the Guards Battalion.
"Reporting to the Commander-in-Chief, forty-one people were killed in the Guards Battalion, twenty-three were seriously injured, minor injuries...there are no statistics!"
Song Shaopeng was a little ashamed. He went into battle with 700 men, and nearly 10% of them were seriously injured and dead. Although it was nothing compared to the enemy's casualties, it could be considered a great victory anywhere!
But comparing the previous battles led by Lin Yi, the gap is huge!
In the battle of annihilation of a thousand people in front of the prison, not a single person in the Guards Battalion was injured. It was a complete victory!
Looking further ahead, the camp attack in Huoyan City and the ambush battle halfway through Duoyou City, under the leadership of Lin Yi, faced dozens of times the number of enemies, and the casualties were not huge!
"The injured brothers will be treated well, and those who died in battle will be buried generously, and their pensions will be doubled! The merits deserved must not be less!"
Lin Yi was silent for a moment, then issued an order in a low voice.
The Guards Battalion has already taken the shape of a super strong army. In the process of growth, casualties are inevitable.
If Lin Yi had led the team just now, he might have kept these soldiers alive, but again, Lin Yi is not a nanny and cannot take them with him forever.
When Lin Yi leaves in the future, the Guards Camp will still face this!
"Thank you, Marshal!"
Song Shaopeng thanked the dead and wounded soldiers, and also thanked the surviving soldiers.
He didn't think there was anything wrong. The purpose of the guard camp was to protect Lin Yi.
It's impossible for the coach to be at the forefront every time there's a war, so what else do they need as a guard battalion?
"City Master Zhang, I will leave the takeover and aftermath of Yunying City to you. I will temporarily ask Commander Zhang and Deputy Commander Song to cooperate with you, hoping to stabilize the situation in Yunying City as soon as possible!"
Lin Yi turned to Zhang Weibing (Zhang's father). When dealing with official matters, it is not appropriate to use personal addresses.
Zhang Weibing understood this, so he immediately bowed and accepted the order.
"I'm going to do it now, I will definitely live up to the commander's expectations."
Zhang Yiming and Song Shaopeng also bowed and agreed, and the three of them quickly got into the mood and began to take over the entire Yunying City.
Huo Jingtian's confidants knew that this incident was serious and that the person offended was Sima Zhongda, one of the top figures in the entire Hongshang County.
The timid ones have already packed up their filial piety and fled or hid secretly, while the bolder ones directly took the initiative to join Zhang Weibing, hoping to be able to make meritorious deeds and, with good luck, retain their original status.
Yunying City gradually returned to normal amid the turmoil, and early the next morning, the influence left by Huo Jingtian had been basically eliminated.
The common people below even thought that it would be better to replace Zhang Weibing as the city lord.
Near noon, Fei Daqiang and his vast rear army finally arrived at Yunying City and joined Lin Yi.
In addition to food and baggage, Fei Daqiang also brought 70,000 to 80,000 cattle and sheep.
These are not dark spiritual beasts, but normal domestic meat.
Lin Yi couldn't help but be stunned when he saw this scene.
Not counting these cattle and sheep, the food and grass for an army of 50,000 people is almost enough for three years!
If it really takes three years... I'm afraid they'll all rot, right?
Lin Yi himself never thought that putting Fei Daqiang in charge of logistics would lead to such a big battle.
Along the way, this guy has recruited more than 25,000 troops, which is not too much. They are all within the scope of the recruitment order.
But if grain transportation, herding, craftsmen, etc. are all counted as auxiliary troops, this army will directly exceed 60,000!
