Lord of the House

The wind and the setting sun came in through the window, and Lin Fu and Gao Zongting sat opposite the table.

The time is also, the situation is also, the battle of Western Liaoning cannot be avoided, but Lin Fu and Gao Zongting are both worried. At present, they can only sit down quietly and discuss the details of sending troops from Linyu Pass.

"The opportunity for Donglu to gather outside Datong was when Li Shuai led his troops from Linyu to attack western Liaoning," Gao Zongting said.

The timing is really not good. At that time, Huaidong will use troops against Daishan and Changguo, and Chen Zhihu should also be fighting hotly in Henan. Lin Fu sighed deeply and said, "Tianjin navy is divided into Changli, I am sure to persuade my elder brother. I agree with Ma Yigong, Yang Yihang and the others; if you want the Jin Navy to go out of the customs, Mr. Gao will also go to Jinhai to mediate..."

Changli is located in the south of Linyu Pass. It is now the headquarters of the Jibei Army and the grain and fodder transfer center of the Jibei Army. The pier in the south of Changli City is berthed.

Since the maintenance of the bureaucratic system of Gyeonggi and the rice grains of the Jingying and border troops almost depended on the Jinhai grain route in the east, the Yanbei line of defense was also forced to form a pattern of strong east and weak west. After Li Zhuo's rectification, the Jibei Army, including the defenders of Linyu and Zhuguan, had a total strength of 100,000. Together with the forbidden army in Beijing, it was almost the last bargaining chip of the imperial court in the north.

Sending troops from Linyu Pass to attack western Liaoning was just to attract the main force of the eastern captives to the eastern front, and to establish an outer line defense at a depth of two or three hundred miles outside Linyu Pass. One hundred thousand troops are more than enough.

"On the Changli side, I'm afraid Hao Zongcheng will not be able to pass the first pass," Gao Zongting said, dismissing the idea of ​​asking the Tianjin navy to assist Changli, "After the winter, the waters in the northern part of the Bohai Sea will be frozen nine times in ten years, and I don't expect a warm winter this year. , and even consider that the ice line will extend to the south of Jinhai. After the winter, we can only consider going by land to transport grain from Jinhai to Laoting and then to Changli, so I would like to ask you to mediate on your behalf, and ask the Tianjin Navy to take charge. Renovation of the post road from Jinhai to Leting. Hubu and Jibei army leaders may not be reliable, especially the ice line may extend to the south of Jinhai, and sea ice will block Tianjin overseas ports. At that time, Gyeonggi Whether the grain storage can support the consumption of the war in western Liaoning, I have to ask you to consider it!"

The Jibei Army is now stationed in the interior, and can handle 100,000 stone grains per month. Once troops are sent into the hinterland of western Liaoning, especially when the sea routes are frozen in winter, supplies can only be transported by land, and the consumption of grain and grass will be much more alarming. Rather than worrying about the unfavorable frontline battle, Gao Zongting was more worried that the supply of food and grass would not keep up.

The Jibei Army's supply of food, grass and weapons is controlled by the leader of the Jibei Army under the control of Hao Zongcheng. Gao Zongting hopes that Lin Fu can help with remedial work in advance.

Lin Fu nodded and said, "I am enjoying the renovation of the post road. I will write a letter. When Mr. Gao goes to Jinhai, he will show it to my eldest brother. I don't think this is a big problem. For money matters, the big deal should be sent to Huaidong Qianzhuang first. Borrowing, the Huaidong Military Division will be responsible for making up in the future. In addition, when the East China Sea storm season is over, I will reserve an additional 300,000 stone grains in Jinhai before the cold winter.

The airworthiness season in autumn and winter is just over three months. Considering that the Korean Navy has been frequently operating in the waters outside Dengzhou, Lin Fu had to reserve an additional 300,000 stone grains of rice in Jinhai a few years ago, which is almost the limit. It will seriously affect the deployment of troops on the southern front.

At this time, Lin Mengde walked in with a tang copy and said, "The officers and soldiers of Jinghu suffered another defeat in Suizhou..."

Lin Fu took the Tang copy over, and after reading it, he handed it to Gaozongting, and said, "After the two lake years, there will be a severe drought in the counties, and there will be civil unrest. Luo Xiancheng beat Yue Lengqiu in Shouchun and lost his temper, and fled west to Xiangyang. Immediately, the momentum rose again, and the number of troops and horses increased to 200,000. Xiangyang, Hanzhong, Nanyang and other places were all out of control, and the Cao family just kept guarding the gate of Western Qin..."

Xiangyang was originally a key place in the hinterland of the Central Plains, and there were many standing defenders. However, for more than 200 years after the Great Yue Chengping, the military equipment ran wild, and the city of Xiangyang was unexpectedly attacked by Luo Xiancheng's troops. This time the officers and soldiers were defeated in Suizhou again, and I really don't know how to deal with the situation in Jinghu.

Gaozongting sighed: "The spring drought has just passed, and the summer flood has come again. Who knows how many more civil unrest will occur? When it comes to droughts and floods, which years can be less in the ten thousand miles of the Central Plains? Even in the reign of Emperor Gaozong, it also occurred After a severe drought of two to three thousand kilometers across the country, there was no trouble at that time. After all, the country was strong, and the imperial court and local officials had the ability to provide relief and turnover. The county people are in chaos, ten counties are in trouble, and the level of chaos in one county?"

Lin Bie was thinking about the impact of the defeat of Suizhou on Chongzhou: "If the situation in the two lakes cannot be controlled, Jiangdong will not be able to get rice from the two lakes, and the rice grains in Jiangxi will also be tight, and the price of grain in summer and autumn will probably rise again!"

"Can Jiangdong be unable to hold down the price of food this year?" Gao Zongting asked.

"I'm afraid it will be difficult," Lin Fu said. "In the past few decades, Pingjiang Prefecture has had many people who have changed their grain fields to mulberry and cotton. Before the East China Sea bandits made waves, they could only maintain self-sufficiency in grain production. In the past three or four years, Pingjiang Prefecture and Pingjiang Prefecture have Danyang Mansion was badly damaged and damaged some vitality. Although the land in the two places is fertile, adjustment and recovery are easy, but it will take time. I don’t know how Dong Yuan will be able to fight the war between Zhejiang and Zhejiang. As I said, the human population has suffered severe losses, and there is no time for three to five years to recover its vitality. The spring drought in Huinan this year is very serious, and I don’t know if it can withstand this additional levy. Although Huaidong suffers from frequent disasters, the situation is barely able to cope. In the past, the better ones were Jiangning, Luzhou, and Weiyang..."

Jiangdong was the last piece of land that the imperial court could keep, but many people never thought that the situation in Jiangdong was not easy.

Taking Chongzhou as an example, in the past three years, there have been three raids by bandits, two major tides, and one major flood, which can be said to be a disaster.

The more Chongzhou experienced the blow, the more powerful it rose. In the final analysis, Lin Buneng kept the negative impact of every disaster within the minimum range. At the beginning of the year, more than 200 people drowned in labor camps, and ten times as many drowned in salt households and farmers, but Chongzhou easily digested this setback. In other prefectures and counties, there is no way of Lin Bing's means and strength, I am afraid that there will be a big trouble long ago.

Gao Zongting was deeply worried and said, "This situation is getting more and more difficult!" He believed Lin Fu's words. Others know that Lin Fu is unparalleled in governing the army, and he is equal to Li Shuai, but they do not know that Lin Fu is stronger because of his political ability, which is the foundation of Huaidong's rise.

If the situation in the two lakes cannot be controlled, and more than a dozen counties will be flooded in summer and autumn, and the price of grain in the east of the Yangtze River will soar, the Da Yue heading will be even more bumpy for this broken ship. Even if Li Shuai was able to achieve a military victory in western Liaoning, it would not help.

At this moment, the squire who accompanied Gao Zongting to the south came in and reported: "The carriage sent by Master Dong has gone outside the thatched cottage..."

"Tao Chun won't see me, but Dong Yuan and Gao Yi always want to meet. I will go with Gao Yi to Xuchang to meet Chen Zhihu," Gao Zongting said, "Maybe this parting, there will be no time to meet..."

Lin Fu was also sad in his heart. He stood up and said, "Although Huaidong is poor, there is always a place for Mr. Gao; no matter how broken the mountains and rivers are, there is still a chance to clean up!"

Gao Zongting smiled bitterly and did not respond to Lin Fu's words.

The commander-in-chief was devoted to the world and loyal to the imperial court. He was not afraid of losing his reputation, and he was unwilling to put the responsibility of fighting in western Liaoning on others. Although Lin Fu also cares about people's livelihood, Lin Fu will not be buried for this decadent court. He will try his best to facilitate the Jibei army's expedition to western Liaoning, but he will not lay the foundation of Huaidong on the battle of western Liaoning.

Gao Zongting knew the difference here, so at this time he could only hand in hand and leave.

Lin Fu did not send Gao Zongting out, but sat back in front of the window under the sunset.

"Today is the big happy day for my sister to leave the country, why are you sitting here frowning?" Xiaoman walked in and looked at Lin Fu sitting at the table with bitterness and hatred.

Lin Bie smiled and said, "Where is it?"

Xiaoman stretched out his cool little hand, rubbed Lin Bie's forehead, and said, "Look, if you wrinkle again, you will have folds. When you are young, you will have folds, but it's ugly and tight!"

"My sister is going to hold a thank-you banquet, and ask someone to send a message to invite you over there. Are you going?" Xiaoman said.

Su Mei resigned today, and it was widely advertised to have a banquet to say goodbye to old friends and colleagues. Since then, she has closed her doors to thank guests and become a good family woman.

"Aren't you going to change your clothes?" Lin Bie asked.

"Can I go too?" Xiaoman asked happily ~www.wuxiamtl.com~ What's wrong? "Lin Fu looked at the smile on Xiaoman's face, and his mood was a little better. He didn't bother to pay attention to the etiquette.

There are many reasons why the empire of Nuoda has been replaced by dynasties for thousands of years. The most fundamental one is that the whole society is becoming more and more inactive and afraid of active things.

Religion, Taoism and art, and farming and industry and commerce are all for the purpose of strengthening imperial power.

I wish I could rule that everyone is as meek as a sheep, everyone is only involved in farming and weaving, everyone follows the rules, and everyone does not communicate with each other. The internal society seems to be stable, and the imperial power and royal power seem to be consolidated. But they can't see that society lacks flexibility and has no ability to adjust itself.

Once there is a big change, it will be completely turned upside down. A big country with tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions, could not resist the invasion and trampling of hundreds of thousands of aliens. It's more shame than hate.

At this moment, Gu Junxun's personal maid Cai'er came in and said, "Madam heard that today is the happy day for Su Mei girl to leave her country, she chose some gifts, but I don't know which one to give. help with an idea..."

Jun Xun has always been trying to be a lady who meets the requirements of ethics and etiquette. Lin Fu hated and fell in love with etiquette at this time; etiquette indulges men's greed.

Lin Bie thought to himself that he did not have the courage to be a complete changer. Maybe this society could not withstand complete change. Maybe he could loosen the tight rope to the maximum extent and adjust the direction of social development to the correct direction. It's what he should do, and he shouldn't expect anything to be done overnight in his own hands. My QT room is open! More vulgar official QT room number [9167] Click to enter
