Lord of the House

The wedding is scheduled for September 18. The maple leaves in the mountains are dyed red, and the autumn is intoxicating. Many people cannot come to Chongzhou to watch the ceremony. Chongzhou.

Surprisingly, Chen Xiyan also sent a generous gift from his family in Jiyang.

When he was on Dayangshan Island, Chen Huawen once said that he would come to Chongzhou to watch the ceremony in person, but after entering the middle of the year, East China Sea bandits gathered in the Shengsi Islands, intending to invade, making the situation in Haiyu and Chongzhou suddenly urgent. Under this circumstance, Chen Huawen could not leave Haiyu to go to Chongzhou to observe the ceremony, but he just sent his family to send a generous gift to express his apology.

On the 16th, Chongzhou was already full of turmoil, and there were hardly any people on the official roads and towns near Jiangkou. In the northwest, crowds of refugees had begun to appear. Lin Fu was patrolling the defenses of various places non-stop, and local defenses mostly used rural soldiers. He wanted to use the limited elites and rush back to Zilang Mountain. It was already dusk, and he was dragged by Han Zai and Wu Meijiu to inspect the nearby Zilang Mountain. defense.

Chongzhou New City was only built to waist height, with rammed earth in the middle, and the blue bricks covering both sides had not been built, so the army could not be stationed. Dongya and Beiya were both renovated temples, and they could not withstand the strong attack of Kou soldiers.

Han Zai complained loudly: "I have long said that the construction of the city should not be delayed. If a fortified city is built one day sooner, it will be ten times as strong as the enemy, and it will not be panicked. Look at it, if it is delayed until today, this The wall can't stop the bandits from stepping over, and the East China Sea bandits are about to invade, what should I do?"

Wu Meijiu calmed down a little, and only said: "This is the end of the matter. It's not a solution to find regret medicine. We should quickly discuss a quasi-plan, so as not to panic when the East China Sea invaders attack..."

No one wanted to come to Chongzhou to go to the muddy waters. Wu Meijiu could not escape the bad life. In early August, the Ministry of Personnel officially issued a document. He served as the county magistrate of Chongzhou. Li Shuyi was promoted to the county magistrate. Officials, and lead township soldiers.

The only two battalions of new township soldiers in Chongzhou were also controlled by Lin Fu. The East China Sea bandits wanted to invade Chongzhou. Although Lin Fu called him and Han Zai to discuss defense, Lin Fu actually decided to make a decision, but Wu Meijiu did not. How much to worry about, the big robber attacked, he hid behind Lin Bie.

Wu Mei has worked for several years as a pirate and joined the army, and has also led troops to fight against many bandits. She has more courage than Han Zai, and is not so easily panicked.

Lin Bing looked back from a distance, looked at Han Zai, and said, "Master Han, I have said before that the responsibility for building the city rests with me, Kou Lai, the city has not been built, I wear armor and hold a halberd, and fight Kou Yedi bloody. , unless he is dead, he will never retreat half a step. The two battalions of the Jiangdong Left Army have also deployed defenses along the Yueer Beach and Guanyin Beach on both sides of Xisha Island. However, the enemy is very strong, and there are no more than ten thousand people gathered in Shengsi and no less than a thousand warships. The ship, pointed by the front of the soldiers, destroys Haiyu and Chongzhou like rotten wood, and the Jiangdong left army defends Chongzhou and the island, and it is difficult, but to defend Jiangkou and prevent the invaders from westward, the force is still insufficient, I am afraid to ask Jiangning for reinforcements..."

"Yes, yes," Han Zai nodded. "The more generals the better, the better. You can't fight an uncertain battle. If you don't have a good plan, I will go to Jiangning or Haozhou to find Yue Shuai to ask for reinforcements..." He doesn't care whether he can invite reinforcements or not. , as long as he can temporarily leave this dangerous place.

"Taihu Lake pirates are rampant in the river and sea, and there may be spies from the East China Sea who have infiltrated the mainland long ago. Master Han took a boat to Jiangning and passed through Jiyang County and Baisha County. I'm afraid it will not be peaceful..." Li Shuyi said at said beside.

Han Zai gave Li Shuyi a fright, but he became suspicious again. He looked at Xiao Baiming and asked, "Does Xiao Dujian intend to go to Jiangning with me?"

In theory, Lin Fu did not have the right to dispatch the naval forces stationed in the Junshui Village in Ninghai Town, but Han Zai, who was the special envoy of Xuanwei, had the nominal right to control the Jiangdong Zuo Army and the army cottage.

Xiao Baiming's face was gloomy and uncertain. He knew that Lin Fu tried every means to drive them out of the army cottage, and the Jiangdong Zuo army wanted to occupy the dangerous place of the army cottage. At this time, Lin Fu and Li Shuyi played a double reed to coax him to Jiangning. Is it hiding? What conspiracy? Can't help but weigh the pros and cons.

Lin Fu narrowed his eyes and glanced at Xiao Baiming. He didn't bother to play any conspiracy and tricks, and said to Han Zai: "Master Han will go to Jiangning to ask for reinforcements. If everything goes well, he will be able to return in seven or eight days. Mr. Han is sitting in Chongzhou, and the troops and horses in Chongzhou cannot be disorderly. One person needs to control the army on behalf of Mr. Han. If Xiao Dujian's subordinates feel that the control is too reluctant, the Jiangdong Zuo Army can withdraw to the land and leave Jiangkou to the army. The defense of the cottage... that is Yue Shuai here, and I am also saying this."

Han Zai's heart skipped a beat, knowing that Lin Fu was not a fuel-efficient lamp, but he didn't expect that he would threaten himself with a pile of picks at a critical moment.

Xiao Baiming's back was chilled, and if Lin Fu was a pile of picks, the Jiangdong Zuo Army retreated to the inland. With only six hundred navy soldiers and four hundred miscellaneous soldiers in the army cottage, he had no ability to defend Jiangkou. But to agree to Lin Fu's conditions, Junshanzhai is also controlled by Lin Fu. What kind of evil intentions Lin Fu hides, you can think of it with your toes.

Wu Meijiu secretly said that the feud between Jiangdong Zuojun and Ninghai Zhenshuiying was deep, and they could not cooperate to defend the enemy, and they even restrained each other, so they stayed in Chongzhou, which was harmful and not beneficial. In this situation, it is impossible and impossible for the Jiangdong Zuo Army to leave Chongzhou, so it can only let Ninghai Town go to the army cottage.

Lin Fu is now threatening with a pile of picks, but what can Xiao Taoyuan and Yue Lengqiu do? Does Xiao Taoyuan still dare to mobilize all the troops of the water battalion in Ninghai Town to guard Jiangkou?

"There are still three or five days left, will Mr. Han send a messenger to Jiangning and tell Yue Shuai about the difficulties here? Maybe there will be reinforcements without Mr. Han leaving Chongzhou..." Wu Meijiu said.

Chongzhou has no city to defend, and the East China Sea pirates who gather on the Shengsi Islands are particularly aggressive, and they may invade in three or five days. How can reinforcements dare to come to defend Chongzhou, and how can they rescue Chongzhou in time? Han Zai gritted his teeth and said, "There is no time to delay for three or five days. Supervisor Xiao will send a boat to **** me to Jiangning. The guards here will be entrusted by Supervisor Lin. The decision will be discussed again—be sure to keep the enemy out of the river mouth... I will sign the official letter when I go back, and Director Xiao will also make preparations."

Han Zai is rare and neat, and without giving Xiao Baiming and Jiyang time to negotiate, he will push into a corner where he cannot turn around: either stay and be restrained by Lin Fu to defend against the invading East Sea bandits, or **** Han Zai's Xingjun left Chongzhou in the name, but the dangerous place in Junshanzhai was taken over by Lin Fu, and it was extremely difficult for him to spit it out.

Han Zai left with the hussars, and Xiao Baiming shouted anxiously, "Master Han, wait for me..." He chased after him, hoping that things could still be turned around.

****************

Lin Fu returned to Dongya, the people were in a hurry, and their faces were solemn. Compared with the big invasion in early April, this time the East China Sea bandits gathered more than 10,000 troops on the Shengsi Islands, and ships continued to arrive in Daheng every day. Island, people have no time to enjoy the festive occasion of the big wedding.

In Dongya, in addition to Cao Zi'ang, Fu Qinghe, Sun Jingtang, Lin Mengde and others, Gu Siyuan and Ma Chao were also present.

Gu Siyuan was originally in Qingzhou, and Lin Fu and his sister Gu Junxun got married. The others in Qingzhou could not leave, but Gu Siyuan had to come. Gu Siyuan and Ma Chao brought a team of cavalry back to Jiangning a few days in advance, and then escorted his sister Gu Junxun and her dowry from Jiangning to Chongzhou. There are still two days before the big wedding day. I was afraid that someone would interfere. Gu Junxun did not choose a date to leave Jiangning. He even used the fleet as a cover. Yesterday, he arrived in Chongzhou by land, temporarily staying with Gu Yingxiu with his maid and wife.

As the son of Gu Wuchen, Gu Siyuan also served in Qingzhou. The situation in Chongzhou was urgent. Although Lin Fu was patrolling the defense outside, Cao Ziang and Fu Qinghe could not exclude Gu Siyuan and keep him from knowing the military affairs here.

"You have worked hard all the way." Lin Fu, Gu Siyuan and Ma Chao said in a salute.

"Compared to Chongzhou, we don't have much hard work." Gu Siyuan said.

"Will it be too late to carry out general mobilization until Han Zai leaves Chongzhou?" Cao Zi'ang asked worriedly, "Although it is inferred from common sense that She Feixiong should not attack Chongzhou by force, but we must prevent him from making a fake, Chongzhou's defense is not at all. Can't relax..."

"I have considered that the second and third outposts of the Fengli Infantry Battalion should be transferred to the north shore first to strengthen the mobile force here. The people of Xisha Island should mobilize the first and second battalions of the Jinghai Battalion. Keep a tight attitude and guard Guanyin Beach and Yueer Beach," Lin Bie said with a frown, "Ninghai Town will not give up the army cottage, and Jiangdong Zuojun has no duty to guard Jiangkou..."

"As a result, Han Zai no longer dares to stay in Chongzhou. He can't bear the responsibility of Jiangkou's fall," Lin Mengde said, "For him, the best way is to throw the burden on your shoulders. Come on, go back to Jiangning and ask for reinforcements. Those who have been hiding for ten and a half months have been able to push and fish. He will understand, and he is afraid that Xiao Baiming will bite the bullet and stay..."

"It's up to him to stay, and it's up to Yue Lengqiu to send reinforcements. Right now, our main purpose is to prevent bandits from the East China Sea from landing on the shore and wantonly slaughtering them. The main easy-to-land spots should be sent to sentries to build beacon piers," Lin Fu said. , "She Feixiong has gathered so many troops on the Shengsi Islands, whether it's real or fake, it won't make no movement at all - this time Xiao Baiming no longer avoids the enemy and fights timidly, I really can't find an excuse to cut him. brain..."

"It makes your wedding impossible to arrange lively." Lin Mengde said.

"I don't like being too extravagant." Lin Fu said~www.wuxiamtl.com~ You have been traveling for three days before you came back, so you should prepare for the big wedding," Cao Zi'ang said, "There is nothing important here. . "

Cao Zi'ang has the talent to lead the army, but compared to leading the army directly, he is proficient in military affairs and general affairs. He is meticulous and energetic, and he is also an excellent candidate for staff. With him assisting in the military affairs, Lin Fu will save a lot of effort.

Lin Fu invited Gu Siyuan and Ma Chao to go up the mountain, and asked about the situation in Shandong under the tree-lined road in the mountains.

Last year, the Donglu invaded the border at the beginning of October. By the end of autumn, the situation in the north suddenly became urgent. Yue Lengqiu even transferred the main force of the Changhuai Army to the north bank of the Huaihe River to be stationed on the north bank of the Huaihe River. The basis for coercing Xiao Baiming to withdraw from the army cottage with the situation of Chongzhou, Han Zai could not invite reinforcements from Jiangning - the 300,000 people gathered on the Yellow River embankment is also a very worrying problem.

Tang Haoxin also realized the seriousness of the problem in Shandong, but this matter is not under his jurisdiction, he can only make some back-ups and cannot change the situation. The imperial court wanted to repair the Yellow River embankment and restore the Cao Road in the Pingyuan Prefecture before the beginning of spring. As far as Zhang Xie and the Inner Court were concerned, they definitely did not want to tie their throats to the expensive Jinhai grain road, but they could not get it out. More money to improve the situation of the people who repair the embankment - even if you can spend more money, the officials* are serious and unable to rectify the management of the officials, and in the end, it will not be of any help.

In addition, Liu An'er, Luo Xiancheng, Gong Yucai and other rogues invaded West Qin, East Sichuan, and Zhongzhou on a large scale, and also entered Jinzhong, Jingchu, Jinghu and other counties by shares. Losses, officers and soldiers occasionally have victories, but only barely maintain the situation.

The Central Plains were in chaos, and the border counties were facing great enemies. With such a big picture in front of the world, Lin Fu could only hold on to Chongzhou and wait and see. My QT room is open! More vulgar official QT room number [9167] Click to enter
