Chapter five hundred and seventy-ninth a sensation
Jiankang, Imperial City.
Before dawn, groups of ministers had already gathered in the Jinluan Hall.
Xiao Yan has been on the throne for six years and is about to usher in his seventh year. During these six years, although he believes in Buddhism and his temperament has changed in the eyes of many officials, his diligence has not changed. He goes to court every morning without interruption.
Even if you go to attend morning classes in some monasteries, you must wait until after the morning service.
It is like this every day. For the golden-armored guards outside the Jinluan Palace, they are naturally accustomed to it and there is nothing new. However, today, the expressions of these sergeants standing solemnly outside the Jinluan Palace are a little different from those in the past. Many people can't help but stretch their arms.
I have grown ears and want to hear clearly what the emperor is saying on the dragon throne inside.
The news of Zhongli's victory has spread throughout Jiankang. From last night to now, the small courtyard where Lin Yi lived has been almost trampled to pieces. That humble and shabby courtyard has now become a Jiankang town.
A first-class place of interest.
When it comes to the victory of Zhongli, the final word was of course General Wei Rui's flooding of the Northern Wei army. But if Lin Yi had not defended the city before, and if hundreds of thousands of Northern Wei troops attacked the city, Zhongli City would have completely fallen to the Northern Wei army.
With his hands, the Northern Wei army on the north bank of the Huai River must have all crossed the river and deployed defenses with Zhongli City as the center. If the battle in Zhongli City had not been so tragic, even the north wall was in dilapidation... If the north wall was intact, the Northern Wei people had looted so much
There are many ships docked at the north wall, and Wei Rui is afraid that the water attack will be useless, and the outcome is still unknown.
What's more, what kind of army is the Tiece Army?
These are not considered regular elite frontier troops at all.
Commanding such an army of 3,000 people, he blocked hundreds of thousands of elite troops of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and even killed the chief general of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Xi Ruyu. What kind of achievement is this?
These Jinjia guards who lined up outside the Jinluan Palace in the early dynasty were all from the Yongzhou Army. They were carefully selected from the Yongzhou Army. They were considered the direct lineage among the direct lineages. They were all soldiers who had experienced hundreds of battles, but the more experienced they were, the more they experienced hundreds of battles.
, the more clearly it becomes clear that this is simply unimaginable.
Although Lin Yi was also very famous after Meishan, in their eyes, he was just a young junior. However, after Zhongli's battle, no one dared to think so.
In this battle, Lin Yi not only defeated the Xi Ruyu tribe of the Northern Wei Dynasty and Yang Dian's Bone Army, but also defeated everyone in their Yongzhou Army.
It's very simple. These Jinjia Guards all know very well that whether it is the Yongzhou Army when they left Yongzhou or the Zhongzhou Army of the Southern Dynasties after they expanded their military strength, whether it is the Yongzhou Army or the current Zhongzhou Army.
Generals, let alone thousands of troops, even if they lead 30,000 troops, they may not be able to defend Zhongli if they choose their armaments at will.
In today's court meeting, the emperor will definitely reward Lin Yi.
Now they and everyone in Jiankang City were curious about what kind of reward the emperor would give Lin Yi.
The more curious and expectant I am, the more I feel itchy and unbearable, and the more I feel that the morning meeting, which usually does not seem to be long, is extremely long.
Finally, when the court meeting finally ended, the ministers filed out. When a golden-armored guard escorted these adults along the road to the carriage outside the palace gate, he couldn't help but softly asked an official he was most familiar with, "My lord, today, your Majesty, are you correct?"
Who is General Lin?"
He asked simply, but the official knew what he meant. The official's face was expressionless and his lips moved slightly. It didn't even seem like he was talking, but his voice was thin and clear and reached the ears of the commander of the Golden Armor Guard.
, "Give Class 11, General Shenwei Town West, a hundred acres of good farmland, and return Lin Wangbei's former residence. Lin Wangbei will be granted permission to return to his hometown, build a healthy land, and provide for his retirement."
"Class 11?"
The commander of the Golden Armored Guards trembled all over, as if he had been struck by lightning.
He was shocked in his heart, but also felt that it was natural for him. In terms of general positions, whether it was Xi Ruyu or Yang Dian, their general positions in the Northern Wei Dynasty were calculated based on the official titles in the Southern Dynasty. Their official positions were probably at least equivalent to the fifteenth class officials in the Southern Dynasty.
Lin Yi killed Xi Ruyu, leaving Xi Ruyu's army helpless. Based on this alone, it is not an exaggeration to reward Lin Yi as a general of the 11th squad.
But based on Lin Yi's previous rank as a Tiecheng officer, he was promoted to an unknown number of levels at once.
Originally, during private discussions between him and many Zhongzhou Army generals, they speculated that it might be a general from Class 9. This was surprising enough, but they did not expect that it would be a general from Class 11.
As a result, based on this general position, there are only about twenty people with higher official ranks than Lin Yi in the entire Southern Dynasty military.
This is the true meaning of not flying, but of soaring into the sky.
But after being shocked, the Jinjiawei commander came back to his senses and realized the word "Zhenxi" in it.
"Not the north, but the west?"
He was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously asked again.
"Go and teach the barbarian Dang Xiang a lesson." The official did not dare to say anything in the palace for fear of being criticized, so he just replied in an unusually simple voice.
The commander of the Golden Armored Guards was not a fool. He calmed down, stopped talking, his eyes flickered, and he immediately understood the meaning.
…
"General of Class 11? How big an official is that?"
"That's an official with the same rank as Yushi Zhongcheng and the left and right generals of Xiaoqi. And Mr. Shaofu seems to be in the eleventh class."
"Then what is Tong Hujun's official position?"
"That's the general of Class 15."
"What, does that mean that after General Lin Yi was promoted, he was still four ranks lower than Tong Hujun?"
"Then we can't surpass Tong Hujun all at once. Tong Hujun was the number one general under the Holy Master back then. He led his troops to open the gate of the Jiankang Palace back then."
"Anyway, he is still young. The Holy One probably wants him to practice for a few more years."
"He is really a general tiger..."
In less than half an hour, the entire Jiankang City was already talking about the rewards from today's court meeting.
In fact, most ordinary people don't have much idea about the official positions of generals. Usually, even a first-class official has a pretty big official position for them, but no matter what, the entire Jiankang City is.
Extremely lively.
The whole city is talking about one person. The last time was when the current emperor Xiao Yan rebelled and led his troops to approach Jiankang City.
…
While the whole city was talking about Lin Yi, a monk was sitting on a small boat sailing on the water, still half a day's journey from Jiankang City.
This monk wore a bamboo hat on his head and held a copper bowl in his hand. The edges of his robe were frayed.
His complexion is dark, and the skin on his hands and feet is very dry.
In the eyes of the boatman, this monk is just an ordinary wandering monk.
After all, the Buddhist temple was built in Jiankang City, and monks from poor areas in the Southern Dynasties should be able to live better than before in Jiankang City.
But this monk actually set foot in the Southern Dynasties for the first time.
