Chapter 146 The war is about to start!
"General, the general sent someone to ask you to return to Mucheng." Leishang lifted the tent and walked in from outside and reported.
Lin Chuan raised his head with dark circles on his eyes and asked, "Did you say anything?"
Thunderstorm shook his head.
"You go and prepare the horses and set out in half an hour."
"General obeying the order" thunderstorm left.
The new recruits have been replenished one after another. Now Lin Chuan’s First Corps is full, with a total of 30,000 soldiers.
With the increase in the number of troops under his command, various things are coming one after another, training, appointment of officers and other things that have made Lin Chuan almost collapse.
With the arrival of winter, there was no movement in the dynasty. The Sanggan River had wars almost every day, with constant small frictions, and people were killed every day, but there was no match for more than a thousand people, and both sides were very restrained.
Xia Ge's Third Corps has been withdrawn and rested, and Mondo's Fourth Corps has been replaced. However, according to the latest news, there will be no major war in the near future, and the Nanchuan Army has a rare rest time.
However, according to Lin Chuan's estimates, when the cold winter passes, the Dynasty army will definitely launch a large-scale attack again.
But these are not what Lin Chuan is worried about now. The Nanchuan Army now has four regiments of 120,000 well-trained soldiers, which is no longer comparable to before.
Lin Chuan was also preparing to ask Lin Nuoyan for some time to ask his First Corps to fight in Sangganhe and let the soldiers under his command see blood. After all, the tiger and wolf army cannot be trained on the training ground, and ultimately it still needs to pass the battlefield test. All the powerful troops in history who are famous in everything came out of the sea of corpses and blood.
Only after experiencing the baptism of blood and fire can soldiers grow and the army grow, because new recruits will not become veterans through training.
"General, you are ready. Are you going to set off now?" After a while, Thunderstorm came over and said again.
Lin Chuan called the sergeant commander Tu Yue and the deputy commander Xis: "I have something to do to go to Mucheng. I don't know when I will come back. Now the camp defense is handed over to you."
In fact, when Lin Chuan was in the camp, Sith and Tu Yue were also in charge of camp defense. Lin Chuan was only responsible for issuing orders, and as for execution, it was to completely delegate power.
After the explanation was completed, Lin Chuan turned over and ran towards Mucheng under the escort of the guards' cavalry.
After several months of development, there are almost no refugees who flee with their families in the Nanchuan Army occupied area in the northern part of Nanchuan Province.
All refugees entering the Nanchuan Military-controlled area were taken to the camps set up by officials responsible for collecting refugees, and they would be distributed to villages and towns to distribute them rations, seeds, and land to make them self-reliant.
The refugees who fled were honest farmers. If they had not had to leave their hometowns and became one of the exiled troops, so when Mucheng sent them these things.
These refugees have developed their tenacious Far Eastern spirit, which is not afraid of hardship or fatigue, and has begun to cultivate on barren land.
Consul Katun led the Mucheng officials to build countless canals in the controlled area to ensure irrigation and have achieved a bumper harvest. Although refugees are still coming, Mucheng has made complete preparations. What is slightly insufficient is insufficient food storage, but Katun is trying to find a way to purchase it from the Dynasty area.
Lin Chuan led the cavalry team along the way. Although the people were still poor and many people still couldn't eat enough, their eyes were full of hope.
At those new refugee gathering sites, officials sent by Mucheng are helping the newly arrived refugees build houses. In the past few months, more than 200,000 refugees have entered the Nanchuan Army-controlled area.
Lin Chuan believes that as long as the Mucheng policy is implemented, the Nanchuan Army will have a continuous source of reserve troops. With the strength of the Nanchuan Army, it is not a dream to occupy the entire Nanchuan Province and overthrow the dynasty.
Two hours later, Lin Chuan arrived at Lin Nuoyan's Magistrate's Mansion.
Since Lan Yu left, Lin Chuan rarely returned to Mucheng and spent most of his time in the military camp. Unexpectedly, after not coming back for two months, Mucheng had undergone earth-shaking changes.
Countless tent houses have been built on the outside of Mucheng. Mucheng has become a city in the city, and the streets have been widened a lot. There are many shops and the bustling crowds make Lin Chuan's cavalry team almost unable to move forward.
"Report" Lin Chuan shouted loudly while standing outside Lin Nuoyan's office.
"Come in!"
Lin Nuoyan looked up at Lin Chuan and smiled and said, "Chuan'er, he looks more and more like a general."
Lin Chuan scratched his head, "It's all well-cultivated by Uncle Lin."
"Gasual mouth and tongue--"
Lin Nuoyan poured a cup of tea and handed it to Lin Chuan, and returned to his seat and sat down.
"You will be twenty in another month."
Lin Chuan replied: "Twenty-eight days left"
Lin Nuoyan sighed, time flies so fast, in the blink of an eye, you become a big guy, come to my mansion when you are born, we haven’t been together for a long time, so you come to talk to you, Uncle Lin.
When Lin Nuoyan said this, Lin Chuan suddenly felt that the commander who supported the Nanchuan Army in this way was a little old and felt very tired.
Lin Chuan nodded and agreed.
"Oh, let's not say these disappointing words, Chuan'er, come here, I have a task for you this time."
Lin Chuan raised his head and drank the water from the teacup and walked over.
Lin Nuoyan has opened a map on the table. The map is newly drawn. Lin Chuan can tell at a glance that it is much more refined than what he used before.
"Uncle Lin, this map is so delicate."
Lin Nuoyan smiled and said, "This is purchased from the Mercenary Union for a large price. If you want it, I don't have the money to buy it."
When Lin Chuan heard that the mercenary union purchased it, he slapped his head. Why didn’t he expect that the mercenaries traveled all over the world and the map was accurate. It seemed that he had to send someone to find the beauty when he went back [31 Novel Network] female branch president. After all, as an old acquaintance, he might be able to get a discount.
Maps are too important in military combat, and Middle-earth world was not the era when Lin Chuan lived. There are also map navigation, satellite positioning, etc., here it depends entirely on maps.
Lin Nuoyan pointed to a location north on the map and said, "I'm going to let you occupy this place--"
Lin Chuanfu lowered his body and looked carefully, "Mishan Iron Mine Area?"
Lin Nuoyan nodded: "Now the dynasty blocked us very much. Our weapons and equipment can no longer meet the needs. Many soldiers do not have armor, and the broken spears cannot be replaced. If we occupy this iron mine area, we will have enough cold iron to build weapons and equipment--"
"But the Black Mountain Iron Mine Area is located in Jiuyuan Province, and the Jiuyuan area is flat, and the dynasty has a large number of cavalry troops stationed, so it is difficult to defend even if we occupy it."
Lin Chuan expressed his concerns.
Lin Nuoyan said helplessly: "This is also impossible. This time, all your First Corps will be dispatched. You must keep this iron mine in our hands, even if it is half a year."
Lin Chuan knew that Lin Nuoyan had made up his mind and began to think about how to arrange troops.
"I know that the task of handing over to your First Corps is very difficult, so I don't force you. If you feel that you can't do it, I'll let others do it."
Lin Chuan raised his head: "Uncle Lin, let's go to our First Corps."
The First Corps is now in total with 30,000 people. Although they are all new recruits, Lin Chuan is still somewhat sure of defending for half a year, but there will definitely be a fierce battle after that time. (To be continued)
