Chapter 1502: Yue Lin entered the military camp and showed his power
Yue Lin's humble words made all the family generals happy and emotional! Among them, the older ones were Yue Fei's generals, and the younger ones were also the descendants of these generals. They had grown up listening to Yue Fei's stories since childhood.
Therefore, there is no need to say more about my loyalty and admiration for the Yue family.
But now, Yue Lin has grown up and continues to join the army, imitating his father's ambition. Naturally, they have complicated minds.
Fortunately, although the Yue family is in ruins now, they have the support of Marquis Zhongwu! With Marquis Zhongwu's current power in the army and court, Yue Lin will naturally be able to take charge of his own affairs in the future.
"Your Excellency has already told me that we will all obey the general's orders!"
Yan and Qiu said respectfully.
These two people are Yan Xian, the centurion of the Duijin Army, and Qiu Chang, the centurion of the Qianjin Army! Although the Beiwei Army is already a subordinate of Shen Tang, but now Shen Tang has orders, and they are serving under Yue Fei's youngest son. Nature obeys everything.
"Thank you two generals!"
Yue Lin said gratefully.
Then, he said to the generals, "I plan to go to the camp tomorrow, exchange seals with the former Jiangyin Army General, take control of the troops and horses, and then lead the troops south to attack Wu County..."
Yue Lin's idea was simple, but it was his duty. Although there were no exciting surprises, it was still a way to go deeper and gradually suppress the living space of the White Lotus Sect's followers.
After Yue Lin finished speaking, a veteran general took the lead and said, "Major General, I'm afraid it won't be that easy for us to enter the military camp and take over the troops tomorrow!"
"This general has the decree of the imperial court. Is it possible that the general dares to disobey it?"
The veteran smiled and said, "The chief general of each army will almost treat this army as his own private army. After taking office, he will gradually control important positions such as deputy general, tooth general, commander of each army, and military capital Yuhou. It’s in your own hands! And the Major General has just arrived and is not familiar with the situation in the army, so the General only needs to delay it for a while, and the Major General cannot control the troops, then I’m afraid the court will leave the matter alone.”
Yue Lin's expression changed, and then he asked, "What should I do, then?"
Another general said, "Young General, why don't you stay here for two days and secretly send people to find out about the Jiangyin Army!"
"First of all, let's see if we can catch some of them. Secondly, there will naturally be soldiers in this army who are dissatisfied with the general. It will be easier for the major general to regain these soldiers and horses by recruiting them and suppressing them."
"In addition, after the major general takes charge of the army, he must strictly enforce military laws and punish those who disobey orders severely to establish his prestige! However, this requires the help of General Yan and General Qiu to deter the armies, otherwise , once the camp is blown up, nothing can be done."
Yue Lin pondered for a moment and said, "I naturally understand how to establish authority. However, if according to your statement, many soldiers are under their control, how can they kill all of them?"
"snort!"
The veteran who was the first to speak snorted coldly, "Young general, you need to know that kindness does not lead the army! If you can't establish authority by killing one person, then kill ten people. If you can't kill ten people, then you can kill hundreds! After killing one or two thousand people, how can the rest dare? Don’t obey?”
"Kill hundreds of people?"
Yue Lin looked surprised, "Isn't this inappropriate?
No matter what they are, they are all our soldiers and horses of the Song Dynasty. If we kill them for no reason, won't the imperial court punish them?"
A veteran general sneered, "Young general, I will not accept your orders from the emperor! Besides, who will report these things to the court?"
Even if word really gets out that the Major General is the commander-in-chief of the army, and he can handle it with any title, is it possible that someone will still embarrass the Major General for some personal reasons?"
"As long as the young general has suppressed the rebellion, he will be a meritorious official of the imperial court. What do these minor things mean?
If we can't clean up the rats among the generals, and when these people cause trouble during the war, wouldn't it involve everyone?
When the general is defeated, who will think about the general's mercy?"
Although Yue Lin still couldn't bear it, he was still behind the gate after all. After a moment, he calmed down and then raised his hands to everyone and said, "I will be taught this!"
Afterwards, Yue Lin no longer hesitated, and ordered a few young family generals, along with more than a dozen soldiers, to investigate the news secretly while the rest waited in Changshu.
They waited for three days. After the people who were searching for the news returned, Yue Lin summoned the generals to discuss it, and then he took his men and horses out of the city and headed towards the place where the army was stationed.
After walking for half a day, they saw the army camp in the distance. They stepped forward on horseback and the group went straight to the camp gate!
When they got close, the soldiers guarding the camp gate quickly closed the gate, set up their horses, and shouted loudly, "Who are you waiting for? The Jiangyin Army is here, and no one can come near!"
A general came out of the crowd and said, "General Yue Lin has been ordered by the imperial court to take over the Jiangyin Army. Why don't you open the camp gate quickly and welcome General Yue!"
The expressions of the soldiers guarding the gate changed. Naturally, this order had been issued by the imperial court to the army a long time ago. There were constant storms in the army! However, these small soldiers naturally could not decide on these matters.
"Later, everyone, wait for us to report to the commander!"
Yue Lin and others were not in a hurry, but they had to wait for nearly an hour before there was another movement in the camp ahead.
But he saw a man in black armor approaching, leading hundreds of people to the camp gate in a hurry.
First, he ordered everyone to open the camp door, and then he directly greeted him, "Is that General Yue?"
"Is this general here?"
Yue Lin sneered and rode forward.
"Meng Xiangrong, deputy general of the Jiangyin Army, pays homage to General Yue!"
The man first performed a military salute, and then said with a smile, "Please forgive me, General Yue. General Wu was injured in a fight with the White Lotus Sect before, and he has recently contracted the cold, so he cannot come out of the camp to greet him. Therefore, the special mission
The last general is here to greet General Yue!"
"I think back then, General Pengju was the one I admired the most. What I hated the most was that he was born a few years late and couldn't serve under General Pengju. Now that I can follow Major General Yue Lin, I am very lucky! This time I have General Yue in front of me.
Come, I believe that the members of the White Lotus Society must be in ruins and vulnerable to a single blow!"
Although he said it politely, Yue Lin sneered in his heart. The camp of more than 10,000 people was indeed not small, but it didn't take an hour to get here. To put it bluntly, it was obviously just a show of strength to himself.
In addition, the information that was previously investigated said that the deputy general Meng Xiangrong was a direct descendant of the main general Wu Jun. It would be strange to believe these words now.
"It doesn't matter. Is this general a narrow-minded person?
However, soldiers are valuable and quick. Since there is an appointment from the imperial court, I naturally dare not delay. How about summoning all the generals later and announcing the imperial decree?
Since General Wu is injured, he should rest first and wait until he recovers before leaving the military camp!"
