Time flies so fast, it has been almost two months since I defeated Tong Guan and gave birth to a precious son.
At that time, the ice and snow had just melted, but now the grass was growing and wildflowers were everywhere.
Lin Chong was playing in the yard with little Lin Sheng in his arms.
Madam Lin on the side was supporting Pang Qiuxia, who had a big belly.
The two beautiful women looked at Lin Chong dotingly teasing the child, with happy smiles on their faces.
In the past two months, more than 30,000 captured officers and soldiers have been recruited and surrendered.
Those who were unwilling to surrender were still stabbed in the face and shackled by Lin Chong's order to work as coolies.
This is not that Lin Chong is cruel, but that in this era, excessive kindness will be regarded as weakness by others, and it will not be able to deter those who have surrendered.
Times are different, and the methods of dealing with things are also different.
Compassion does not command troops At present, the number of troops in Liangshan has reached more than 50,000, and this number is still rising, because as the imperial court's oppression becomes more and more severe, more and more people are defecting to Liangshan.
It is estimated that in less than half a year, the number of Liangshan troops will reach 60,000.
Lin Chong first selected 4,000 people among the more than 50,000 people, and combined with the previous 1,000 cavalry, the number of the cavalry battalion increased to 5,000.
The leaders of the cavalry battalion have also been adjusted.
Wang Yin is the commander of the cavalry battalion, and Qin Ming, Han Tao, Peng Qi, and Zhu Dian are deputy commanders.
The five people are fully responsible for training the cavalry, but the subordinate relationship in the training is still under the jurisdiction of Shi Wengong.
Originally, there were only 500 people in the navy.
There was nothing we could do with the small number at first, but now there are more people.
Lin Chong directly asked Li Jun's navy leaders to select 4,500 people to join the navy, making up 5,000 people.
Li Jun and others were very happy after hearing this.
Which general wouldn't want to have more soldiers and more manpower.
As for Pang Wanchun's Shenjian Battalion, Lin Chongdao did not have specific requirements for the number of people.
He just asked him to select talents from the entire army.
Lin Chong only had one request.
The Shenjian Battalion should be good but not too many.
Because Pang Wanchun became Lin Chong's uncle, he now looked at things from a different perspective.
This time he did not clamor for more people, but followed Lin Chong's instructions and carefully selected a thousand people to join him.
The previous thousand people were combined together, making a total of two thousand people.
Lin Chong improved the remaining 40,000 people according to the Song Dynasty army organization, from the original four levels of Xiang, Jun, Ying, Du, to three levels of Army, Camp, and Team.
There are one hundred people in each team, ten teams are one battalion, and ten battalions are one army.
According to this calculation, the cavalry battalion and navy army are composed of five battalions, while the Shenjian battalion is composed of two battalions.
Lin Chong divided the remaining 40,000 people into four armies, with Shi Bao as the commander of the first army, Guan Sheng as the commander of the second army, Hu Yanzhuo as the commander of the third army, and Sun An as the commander of the fourth army.
Among them, Li Tianrun, Huang Xin, Xuanzan, and Hao Siwen were the commanders of a military camp, responsible for helping the military commanders manage and train soldiers.
Si Xingfang, Shan Tinggui, Wei Dingguo, and Ou Peng were the commanders of the second army camp, and they also helped Guan Sheng manage the soldiers and horses of the second army.
Shan Shiqi, Li Tianyou, Xue Dounan, and Yang Lin helped Hu Yanzhuo manage the three armies.
Li Kui, Shi Yong, Mu Chun, and Ma Lin assisted Sun An in managing the Fourth Army.
Lin Chong selected 2,000 loyal and capable people among all the people to serve as his personal army camp.
One thousand of them were cavalry, with Mu Hong as the battalion commander.
Another thousand were infantry, with Jiao Ting serving as the battalion commander.
The rest of the people still perform their duties and are responsible for the defense of the village and other duties.
After subdivision, the responsibilities of each brother have become clearer, the cohesion has become stronger, and the affairs of the village, large and small, have become smoother.
Lin Chong was teasing his son when Shi Qian came in and said to Lin Chong, "Brother, everything is ready."
Lin Chong nodded, then handed Xiao Lin Sheng to Mrs.
Lin, stood up, said goodbye to the two ladies, and went out with Shi Qian.
Lin Chong has always been obsessed with Tian Hu's generals.
He had wanted to go there years ago, but failed to make the trip.

Now that he has some free time, he plans to go there and try his luck.
A few days ago, news came from Tokyo that Tong Guan fled back to Tokyo without his life.
He found Cai Jing and Gao Qiu overnight and had a discussion with them.
The next day, he just said that the army was not acclimatized to the climate, so he retreated to fool him.
This time, the officers and soldiers were beaten very painfully.
Even if Tong Guan, Gao Qiu and others wanted to send troops again, it would have to be several months later.
War is not a child's play, and it cannot be fought just by talking.
Lin Chong had told the two ladies that he was going down the mountain a few days ago, so they were mentally prepared and didn't say anything more.
Another thing happened during this leisurely time, that is, Lin Chong finally took Jin'er into his room as a concubine under Lady Lin's repeated suggestions.
Because Jin'er was born as a maid, she didn't do anything big.
She just had a meal with the two ladies and offered them a cup of tea respectively, which was regarded as a ceremony.
Jin'er's life will not change much.
She still serves Mrs.
Lin every day and occasionally sleeps with Lin Chong when she is in need.
Some people may say that this is too unfair to Jin'er, but in fact, this ending is the best for Jin'er.
If Lin Chong really gives birth to a boy and a half girl in the future, she will be considered to have achieved enlightenment.
Lin Chong came to Jinshatan Beach.
All the brothers were waiting for him on the shore.
When they saw Lin Chong coming, they all called him "brother."
Lin Chong still brought four people with him when he went down the mountain this time.
Mu Hong and Shi Qian were brought by Lin Chong every time, and the other two were Jiao Ting and Wang Yin.
Among them, Jiao Ting is Lin Chong's new bodyguard, and Wang Yin is a master Lin Chong brought with him because he considered possible unexpected situations.
Originally, the person Lin Chong wanted to take with him the most was Sun An, but he was afraid that he would be recognized by people in the government, so he gave up.
After bidding farewell to all the brothers, Lin Chong and his party of five got on the boat, and Zhang Shun personally took the boat to the other side.
Lin Chong and several other people each carried a package on their backs.
Each of them had a knife on their waist, but nothing else.
There were many businessmen along the way, so Lin Chong specially brought a white sun felt hat to cover his face.
They are all accustomed to traveling north and south, so traveling is a trivial matter for them.
Because it was spring when the flowers were blooming, the temperature was neither too high nor too low, and it was very comfortable.
A few people were enjoying the scenery while walking, and felt comfortable there.
Along the way, we spent the night in Xiaoxing, hungry and thirsty, and arrived in Dingzhou, Hebei Province early.
Why did Lin Chong go here?
The main reason why Lin Chong wanted to go here was to bypass several sensitive places such as Tokyo, and use the road in Hebei to go to Qinzhou, Shanxi and other places.
When they arrived in Dingzhou, it was getting late, and they found a nice-looking inn to stay.
Two rooms were opened, one for Lin Chong and Mu Hong, and one for the other three.
Dinner was eaten in Lin Chong's room.
After dinner, Lin Chong wanted to go out for a walk, so he invited a few people to go with him to see what entertainment places there were in Dingzhou.
A few people were strolling on the streets.
Because spring had returned to the earth, people had already taken off their bloated cotton-padded clothes and put on relatively thin ones.
Dingzhou is not a big city.
It is very different from places like Cangzhou and Mengzhou, let alone the famous Daming Mansion.
However, although the city is not big, it has all the three religions and nine schools.
There are many restaurants, tile shops, teahouses and pawnshops.
Especially that pawn shop.
Although it was already night, there were still many people coming to pawn.

It seemed that there were still many people who had no money.
The past two years have been bad.
There has been a severe drought in Shanxi and Hebei has not been spared.
The crops have failed and the people are living in poverty.
Otherwise, who would live by pawning things.
A few people walked for a while.
Because it was dark, there were not many pedestrians on the street.
Even if they occasionally met a few pedestrians, they always looked disheveled and listless.
Lin Chong looked at the beggars on the street corner, sighed, and said, "The years are bad, and the people's lives are getting harder and harder."
Wang Yin and others also felt that Dingzhou was a bit depressed, not to mention other places, but Yuncheng was wealthier than here, at least judging from the pedestrians on the street.
After walking for a while, Lin Chong felt a little depressed, so he said, "Go back.
There is nothing to do, so why not rest early?"
Several people returned to the inn, chatted some gossip, and then took a rest.
They were all a little tired after a long day's journey.
There was nothing to say all night.
The next day, a few people got up and asked the waiter to make some breakfast.
Then they calculated the rent and hurried off with their packages.
When I walked to the pawn shop I saw last night, I saw many people gathered around the door of the pawn shop.
Everyone pointed at the pawn shop and said something.
Lin Chong was curious.
This time he came out mostly to try his luck.
He was not in a hurry, so he said, "Don't rush on.
Let's go and see what's going on."
Wang Yin smiled and said, "In my impression, every time my brother joins in the fun, he will always end up causing trouble to himself.
I hope it won't happen this time."
Lin Chong burst out laughing after hearing this.
After thinking about it carefully, he pointed at Wang Yin helplessly, said "crow's mouth" and walked over with a smile.
Wang Yin and others also laughed, and when they saw Lin Chong walking toward the crowd, they hurriedly followed him.
Several people pushed through the crowd and squeezed to the front.
They saw two people standing in front of the pawn shop door.
No, it should be said that one was standing and one was sitting.
Standing was a middle-aged man, gorgeously dressed and with an arrogant expression.
He was looking at the person sitting on the ground with a proud expression.
Lin Chong looked at the person on the ground and saw an old woman, about fifty years old, wearing coarse clothes.
It looked like she was old.
There were a few patches on her clothes, but she was washed very clean. .
At this time, the old woman was sitting on the ground crying and said, "You are a famous rich man in Dingzhou City.
Why are you such a rogue?
Not only did you take the old woman's jade bracelet, but you also wrongfully accused her of stealing it from you."
Yes, it’s really too shameless.”
After the woman finished speaking, she cried loudly again.
After hearing this, Lin Chong had an idea in his mind.
He thought it was this woman who brought the jade bracelet to pawn, but was blackmailed by the owner of the pawn shop.
Now he relies on this woman to steal his things.
It should be this woman. look.

Alas, judging from the look of the pawnshop owner, this is probably not the first time he has done this.
And being able to afford a pawnshop of this size must be related to the government, otherwise he would not look so confident. .
At this moment, I suddenly heard a shout of "Mother" from outside the crowd, and then a big man squeezed in
