The return journey took Lin Yi and the Guard Camp nearly fifty days longer than when they went there!
When the guard battalion, which was almost being trained into a special force, followed Lin Yi back to the capital, Wu Yucao and others also rushed back with the capital's garrison.
The two sides completed their rendezvous fifty miles outside the royal capital.
The five cities ceded by the Selenium and Copper Commandery have been completely digested, and with the efforts of Wu Yucao and others, they have become the first line of defense against the Selenium and Copper Commandery.
And this line of defense can be said to be impregnable!
After receiving the notification, Sima Zhengxin went out of the city in person and held a grand triumphal ceremony outside the city with all the civil and military officials!
More than half of the people in the royal capital poured out of the city to welcome the hero in their hearts in triumph.
The remaining half couldn't squeeze out. There was a sea of people outside the city gate, and they had no place to stand. They had to do the next best thing and wait on both sides of the streets in the city.
After this period of training and killing, Lin Yi's personal guard camp had completely changed their energy and spirit. They hardly paid attention to such a big scene.
It was different for the other officers and soldiers of the Royal Capital Guard. They just went to the Northern Xinjiang battlefield to get some soy sauce, and when they came back they were welcomed like heroes, which made them feel so happy!
Regardless of whether you catch up with the war or not, taking over five cities ceded by enemy countries is a real achievement!
We are heroes and deserve this welcome ceremony!
After the grand triumphal ceremony, the outgoing Royal Capital garrison circled the city and accepted the cheers of the crowd before returning to their original positions, including Lin Yi's personal guard camp.
Lin Yi, along with Wu Yucao and other generals, followed Sima Zhengxin and all the civil and military officials into the palace to receive the reward.
Sima Zhengxin sat on the throne and looked at Lin Yi with a smile on his face.
With such a grandson, it will not be a problem for the Sima family to continue to control Hongshang County!
The eunuch next to him unfolded a brocade and silk imperial edict and read aloud the reward:
"...conferred the title of Sima Zhongda to the title of General of the State, Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Royal Capital's Garrison, Marquis of Shen Yong, with a settlement of 3,000 households, and the title of Leader of Huoyan City!"
As soon as this reward came out, everyone was jealous!
Not to mention the general of Zhenguo, in terms of the military, he is basically the first person under the general of the army!
However, the title of Grand Marshal of the Army is actually a false title and can only be awarded during wartime.
In terms of actual power, the general who governs the country is the military boss and has the power to control all kinds of troops!
As for the deputy general manager of the Royal Capital Garrison, it doesn't matter. The general manager is Sima Yunqi. It doesn't matter whether Lin Yi, the deputy general manager, is the deputy general manager.
And Shen Yong Hou is even more awesome. Although Sima Yunqi is also a prince, his status as a prince is based on Sima Zhengxin's status as the king of Hongshang County.
If the king of Hongshang County is replaced by another family, Sima Yunqi's status as a prince will automatically be invalidated, but Lin Yi's status as a brave prince will not be taken away!
Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for the other families to agree to the title of marquis for the Sima family. There is still a marquis with a settlement of 3,000 households!
This means that these three thousand households have become Lin Yi's private property from now on, and all life and death are at Lin Yi's discretion.
As for the title of leader of the city of Huoyan City, it is not that important. In this war, the city leader of Huoyan City is finished.
Lin Yi took back Huoyan City and only held the title of city lord as a spiritual leader. The general of the Zhenguo certainly couldn't really go to Huoyan City and stay there. He had to stay in Chaozhongzhenguo.
But if Lin Yi wants to raise private soldiers, Huo Lian City is a very good place.
It was far away from the court and was originally a border gate. Now there are five cities ceded by Se-Copper County, which greatly increases the security. From time to time, you can take the initiative to go to Se-Copper County to train troops.
Perfect!
"The general who governs the country can select a guard camp of a thousand people from the royal capital's garrison to defend himself..."
This is to directly place the personal guard camp that Lin Yi led directly under his name.
Although everyone thinks that a record of eight hundred to seventy thousand is a bit dreamy, they can all be sure that Lin Yi's personal guard battalion is indeed an invincible and powerful force.
Of course, Sima Zhengxin couldn't hand over this army to anyone else, not even his own son Sima Yunqi, so he decided on the title directly and helped Lin Yi expand it to a thousand-man establishment.
With such a famous general Wang Sun leading a strong army in the capital, Sima Zhengxin felt that he could sleep more peacefully.
The rewards are still going on, followed by some financial rewards for Lin Yi. Everyone present is a big boss, and they don't care about these at all.
After Lin Yi's end, the next step was to reward other people in the army.
Deputy Commander Wu Yucao was given the title of General Pingbei, Commander of the Zuoying of the Royal Capital's garrison, and received several other rewards.
Military advisor Jin Yuanbao was granted the title of General Fubo, Counselor of Zuoying of the Royal Capital's garrison, and received several other rewards.
Zhang Yiming was awarded the title of General of the Rebellion, Counselor of the Right Camp of the Royal Capital Guard Army, and received several other rewards.
Li Yingjian was named General Zhaowu, deputy commander of the right camp of the royal capital garrison, and received several other rewards.
Ling Hanxue was awarded the title of General Sharpshooter, Deputy Commander of the Zuoying of the Royal Capital's garrison, and received several other rewards.
Song Shaopeng was named General Pingnan, commander of Lin Yi's personal guard camp, and received several other rewards!
Fei Daqiang was named General Minfeng, deputy commander of the rear camp of the royal capital garrison, and received several other rewards.
…………
Even though everyone in this group is a general, in fact only Wu Yucao and Song Shaopeng are serious generals.
Others, such as General Fubo, General Rebellion, etc., are collectively referred to as generals. They are the lowest generals and belong to the generals...
The general who conquered the captives before Lin Yi was also one of them.
The so-called miscellaneous generals mean that they can all be named Generals of Fubo or Generals of Disobedience. It is normal for several of the same generals to exist at the same time.
It's just that no one happened to be using these, so I gave them each a different one.
Wu Yucao and Song Shaopeng's Pingbei and Pingnan generals are only one level higher than Zahao generals, but they are unique. If given to Wu Yucao and Song Shaopeng, there will no longer be Pingbei and Pingnan generals.
The rewards given to Wu Yucao and others were obviously several levels lower than those given to Lin Yi.
Not to mention titles, in terms of military positions, on top of the titles of the four generals with the word Ping, the four generals from the southeast and northwest are the four generals with the word ding, the four generals with the word southeast, northwest, and then the four generals with the word zhen, and the four generals with the word zheng!
Above these four levels are those with the rank of general. Lin Yi’s Zhenguo General is the military boss who is above the fourth level of Zheng Zhengping. He has jumped from the general of Zheng Lu to the top general. , the span is so huge that it’s hard to say.
It is true that Lin Yi's performance this time was too dazzling. Sima Zhengxin devoted himself to awarding the reward. No matter how unwilling others were, they could not refute.
Apart from envy, jealousy and hatred, I really couldn't find any reason to oppose Sima Zhengxin, so I could only suppress Lin Yi's people a little.
