Lord of the House

The rain had just stopped, and there were still drops of rain falling on the eaves without a sound, the dark clouds dispersed, and a few stars appeared in the sky.

Liu Miaozhen stood in front of the window, looking thoughtfully at the Hessian cliff that seemed to be lying still on the courtyard wall. At this moment, there was the sound of ruts and ruts. From this window, you could see the situation in the front yard. A strong and healthy woman listened to the voice and said, "Perhaps that person is here..."

"Aunt Ma, help me get the mask..." Liu Miaozhen said.

When Liu An'er moved to the world, he had no base, and his family went with the army.

Liu Miaozhen joined the army in the army at first. Except for the bodyguards who used strong women, there was no difference between them and male generals, so she wore multiple armors and face masks so as not to affect her prestige as a general.

After the Huaisi War, Liu Miaozhen, who was revered as the goddess in red jacket and promoted as the co-owner of the Huaisi refugee army, officially selected the camp of healthy women who were proficient in martial arts from the family camp. Aunt Ma and Mrs. Ma are the wife of Ma Lantou. She was originally the daughter of a lake thief in Hongze Puli. Her father was killed by officers and soldiers. The daughter of Mrs. Ma inherited her father's business. Ma Lantou became a son-in-law and gave up his subordinates to Ma Lantou's commander. She lived behind the scenes and became obscure.

It is a shocking move for a woman to show her face in the world, but how can a daughter in Jianghu be so particular? Liu An'er was killed by Chen Hansan, and the female soldiers of the old camp who escorted Liu An'er's two young sons out of Xuzhou were also several female soldiers.

Sun Wenwan knocked on the door and came in, seeing Liu Miaozhen covering the bronze mask on her face, she said, "My lord has come to the front hall, waiting for General Liu to pass by..." But she looked at the saber on Liu Miaozhen's waist.

Liu Miaozhen's superb martial arts have long been spread in the Huaidong Army. In the battle outside Suining City, Lin Fu was involved in the front line to supervise the battle. Although there were no dangers, Zhou Pu and Ning Zechen were reprimanded afterwards - Lin Fu Maybe she doesn't care, but Sun Wenwan had been warned by her father, Lin Mengde and others early, that Liu Miaozhen and the people around her would never have the opportunity to approach Lin Bie with a knife. Even after Sun Zhuang escorted Liu Miaozhen to Chongzhou, he made an excuse to transfer Sun Zhuang first.

The intention to harm others depends on the situation, and the intention to guard against others must not be lost.

Looking at Sun Wenwan's eyes, Liu Miaozhen knew what she meant, took off the saber, put it on the desk, stood up, and walked with Sun Wenwan to the front yard with Aunt Ma.

Seven or eight giant candles were inserted in the front hall, which illuminated the hall as bright as day. Lin Fu, dressed in green clothes, sat in front of the long Nanmu desk, only Song Jia sat beside him - until Sun Wenwan put the red jacket on. The woman brought in, Lin Fu and Song Jia stood up to greet him, and said, "General Liu is here, and the news leaks out, which is not good for Huaidong and Huaiyang. If there is any negligence, please also ask Haihan."

Liu Miaozhen thought that Lin Fu would be surrounded by swords and guards, but she didn't think that there was only a beautiful and charming woman sitting with him, and Lin Fu's serious tone let her know that Lin Fu was serious about this meeting .

"Lin Zhizhi is very polite. I should have taken the liberty of visiting and caused a lot of inconvenience to Huaidong." Liu Miaozhen sat down in front of the long desk opposite Lin Fu, Aunt Ma stood behind her, and Sun Wenwan stood up to Lin bound side.

Lin Bie smiled, Liu Miaozhen was wearing a spacious red shirt, her jet-black hair was tied casually with a red ribbon behind her shoulders, and when the bronze mask covered her peach-like face, no matter what tone of voice she spoke, she would never speak. Gives a chilly feeling.

Perhaps because of wearing a bronze mask, Liu Miaozhen's eyes look extraordinarily deep and clear. Even if you don't look at her face, if you only see these eyes, you will tend to think that she is a stunning woman with a beautiful city.

It's really strange to say, if it wasn't for Sui Ning's battle to split her mask, I really never thought about what kind of face was under the mask, I always thought she was a fat and ugly woman. Probably because of the previous intersection, the woman in the red jacket gave people a feeling of being too sharp, making people ignore her appearance.

At first, Huaidong never thought that Liu Miaozhen would come to Chongzhou in person. After receiving the news, it took a long time to digest the news.

It's hard to see any ambition from Liu Miaozhen.

After the first battle of Suining, the reason why the Huaisi refugee army pushed Liu Miaozhen as the main factor, the most important one was the second son who escaped from Xuzhou after Liu An'er's death. .

Under the circumstances at that time, if you didn't want the refugee army to collapse completely, you had to bring someone out. Even if Liu Miaozhen was a woman, there was no other person who was more suitable to sit in that position than Liu Miaozhen.

When Chen Zhihu was appointed as the envoy of the Henan system, the various units of the refugee army fought in Huaiyang without even losing half their lives. After the eastward march, the Huaisi refugee army was dismantled, with nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses. Finally, the red jacket army composed of the elites of Liu Miaozhen and Ma Lantou got Huaidong's acquiescence and recuperated in the Huaisi area with a complete organization - Liu Miaozhen's The position has been stabilized.

There are many ambitious women in this world, but Liu Miaozhen has neither recruited a capable but powerless man to assist her husband, nor has she succumbed to any Fang Xiaojie, so far she has been left alone by her sister-in-law, and it is more likely that she wants to The situation was supported until Liu An'er's two sons grew up and took over the military power.

"General Liu came here in person. When I first received the news, Huaidong was also quite surprised. I was worried in Chongcheng. Could it be that Qin Sima went to Huaiyang on behalf of Huaidong and made General Liu feel that Huaidong's sincerity was insufficient?" Lin Fu asked.

"There are a few things that I don't understand, and I need to ask the envoy Lin Zhizhi in person."

"Please say."

Liu Miaozhen put her sleeves in the spacious long sleeves, folded them in front of her thighs, and looked at Lin Bie.

Liu Miaozhen's figure is quite tall among women in the world, almost no shorter than Lin Bie. Although her face is as beautiful as a peach blossom, her body frame is quite large. In later generations, she was a model's proud figure, but in this world she looked too tall. Coupled with Liu Miaozhen's habit of wearing multiple armors for cavalry battles, it will inevitably give people the impression of being strong.

"Lin Zhizhi worked very hard to get around such a big circle, and it is only today that a little girl can see the mystery," Liu Miaozhen said, "I would like to ask, the Donghu people are really so powerful, and let Lord Lin be like this. Caution? In the eyes of Lord Lin, Jiang Ning's defense line in Hehuai is really useless?"

"It's not as far-sighted as you think," Lin Fu smiled and glanced at Song Jia next to him, "It was Song Dianshu's strategy to leave Sun Zhuang to guard Huaisi. At first, he just didn't want Chen Hansan to occupy the entire Huaisi area. Of course, I have to say that I can't bear to see the refugee army slide into a hopeless situation, and you won't believe it..."

"Why are you sure I won't believe it?" Liu Miaozhen asked rhetorically.

"Your eyes tell me, you won't believe it..." Lin Fu said.

"I believe what you said is true. You secretly pushed the imperial court to recruit me today, with such thoughts in mind, but why couldn't you leave a way out for my brother two years ago?" Liu Miaozhen asked.

"You misunderstood what I said," Lin Fu shook his head and said, "The refugee army I can't bear to slaughter is the countless people who are waiting to be fed, hungry and cold, who have to pick up hoes or scythes to kill officials and rebel for themselves, The poor people who are fighting for food for their children are not those rebels who are ambitious and greedy for the status of princes..."

"You have no ambition?" Liu Miaozhen asked dismissively.

"It's not a bad thing to have ambition, but some ambitions can give life to the people of the world, and some ambitions are greedy like a prairie fire that will devour everything, and move the people of the world as their stepping stones," Lin Fu said, "I There is nothing to pretend to be lofty, and my reputation in Shilin is not much better than that of thieves, but my will can't be shaken by others. I am in Huaidong, with rent reductions, tax reductions, and civil service exemptions, millions of people can eat Satisfying food, being able to wear warm clothes, not suffering from hunger and cold, not being harmed by the scourge of war—these things I do are worthy of myself, worthy of heaven and earth…”

"..." Liu Miaozhen was silent, Lin Bie's many actions in Huaidong were not seen by the scholars, but they were very popular with the generals of the refugee army. They said that if all the officials and generals in the world were like Lin Bie, they would replace the ants. For the sake of the people, no one will raise the flag to rebel.

"... The 40,000 to 50,000 ordinary people in Huai Si, what are they thinking and what are they looking forward to? Don't they look forward to being able to eat enough, to wear warm clothes, not to suffer from hunger and cold, and not to be harmed by the scourge of war? Don't they all think that they can be crowned kings and candidates?" Lin Fu continued, "If the world is peaceful, although it was difficult in the past few years, it is not difficult for everyone to live and work in peace in the end. Today, Hu riding a horse and riding a horse Come, the world is chaotic and uncertain, and you can no longer have the mind to sit back and enjoy the success. If you want to eat enough and wear warm clothes, you have to work hard to earn for yourself and your family—I said the same to the generals of the Huaidong Army. Of course , this is not enough, I also said to the officials and soldiers in Huaidong: the officials and soldiers are raised by the people's mouth, can you abandon them if you don't perform your duties?"

"..." Where did Liu Miaozhen think that Lin Bie's eloquence was sharp, these kinds of words were almost all things she had thought about but had not figured out.

"I think that when General Liu came over, there must be a lot of controversy within the Red Jacket Army, but General Liu saw that we were so afraid and careful of the Donghu people, and he came to Huaidong in person because he was worried that we would not have good intentions after all our kind deeds, and that he was worried about us. It is to push the red jacket army and even all the hundreds of thousands of refugees stranded in Huaisi to the front to die, while he has nothing to do, watch the fire from the other side, and finally sit back and enjoy the success..." Lin Fu continued.

"..." Only then did Liu Miaozhen realize that she sat down without saying a few words, so she gave Lin Fu's intuition to pierce her intentions.

Although Liu An'er brought back from the frontier army, there are still many people alive and have a certain understanding of the Donghu people, but the vigilance is still not enough.

Liu Miaozhen will not believe that there is love and hatred for no reason in the world.

Lin Fu wanted to directly incorporate the refugee army. At the beginning of the year, even after Chen Zhihu's northward transfer, he had a good chance. Liu Miaozhen knew how weak and desperate the Red Jacket Army and the various refugee armies were when they moved eastward. As long as Huaidong gave him a way to survive, most people would probably surrender directly to Huaidong.

Even Huaidong sent troops to defeat them first, and then captured the prisoners, was more effective than buying rice and grain, and it should never have given the Red Jacket Army a chance to breathe, or even a chance to recuperate.

Even at this point, even though many generals had a lot of affection for Huaidong, the Red Jacket Army could only accept Jiangning's recruiting, and Huaidong did not gain any direct benefits.

If it weren't for the Donghu people, Liu Miaozhen and the generals of the Red Jacket Army would have regarded Lin Fu as a saint with no desires and no desires.

The situation in the north after the defeat of the Jizhen army shows that what Huaidong did before was deeply motivated - Huaidong has worked hard in the past five months to preserve the Red Jacket Army and give the Red Jacket Army a relatively sufficient amount of money. During the time to rest and recuperate, everything is to prepare for the Donghu Iron Cavalry who may break through the Hehuai line of defense at any time and head south.

Previously, Huaidong was too much restrained by Jiangning, Yanjing and other forces, and it was impossible to come forward and stick to the flanks of Xuzhou, Shandong, and Henan in person, and deploy a 30,000-strong elite army on the front line of Huaiyang to shield Huaidong. The construction of the Huai Si defense line can only be done by the hands of the red jacket army.

Although Liu Miaozhen did not have an intuitive understanding of the fighting strength of the Donghu people, but from Huaidong's far-sighted deployment, he was also very jealous. The red jacket army devoured everything, and also devoured the hundreds of thousands of people stranded in the Huaisi area to the point of no bones.

Just as Lin Fu said, Liu Miaozhen was worried that Huaidong's deployment would ultimately require the Red Jacket Army to stand in front of the sword to block the sword, and worried that the 30,000 men and tens of thousands of children from the Red Jacket Army, as well as the hundreds of thousands of refugees stranded in Huaisi, would be in order to report the situation. The grace of wrapping the belly for several months, but to Huaidong as a substitute.

Liu Miaozhen's face was hidden behind the bronze mask, but her eyes flickered smartly. Lin Fu said, "Huaisi is standing in front of Huaidong when the Donghu people invaded, but it's natural, it's not a human arrangement, and there's no red flag. The jacket army, Huaidong will also organize a force to go north and advance to the front lines of Huaiyang and Suining-in addition, it is the sentence I often say with Huaidong officials and soldiers: the officials and soldiers are raised by the people. Can you give up without performing your duties? Then I also told General Liu today that Huaisi’s monthly rice grains were not conjured by me, Lin Fu, but were all left by the countless people in Huaidong to save food and clothing. General Liu was suspicious. It is so heavy, do you want to lead the red jacket army to hide behind Huaidong?"

Liu Miaozhen's pink face that was hidden under the bronze mask was slightly hot, and she said, "I don't mean it that way..." It was thought that the little children were arguing.

"What's behind Huaidong? It's the Zhedong battlefield." Lin Fu couldn't see Liu Miaozhen's face, nor did he speculate on what she was thinking. It was a foregone conclusion that the red jacket army accepted the recruiting, and he just wanted Liu Miaozhen to guard Huaisi with peace of mind. , so I didn't have any scruples in speaking, and said, "If General Liu wants to go to Zhedong to exchange battlefields with the Huaidong Army, I have no opinion..."

"I said that's not what I meant," Liu Miaozhen couldn't help but stood up childishly and argued, "Jizhen's army of 100,000 elites collapsed in an instant. Lord Yilin, you speculate that the Hehuai line of defense is very strong. It may be vulnerable to a single blow. The Hu people who are swept south may number in the hundreds of thousands, and Chen Hansan is a repeated villain. The Red Jacket Army has only 30,000 troops available in Huaiyang, and it still lacks troops and armor, which is embarrassing and heavy! "

"Qin Sima went to Huaiyang on my behalf, and it was a matter of war defense. General Liu was better. He left Qin Sima in Huaiyang and came to Chongzhou to question me about war defense," Lin Fu laughed and said, "If you're worried that the conditions Qin Sima allowed to Huaiyang don't count, that's fine, I'll talk to you in person..." Seeing that the candles in the hall were disabled, he said, "It's late today, General Liu is tired from the journey, so don't bother me much. Now, I will leave this picture of the situation in Hehuai, and I will come to discuss the details with you tomorrow! How do you think General Liu?"

Liu Miaozhen was ashamed and annoyed, and said, "What do you say?"

Lin Fu and Song Jia said goodbye and left. They sat in the car, and Song Jia smiled and said, "Liu Miaozhen is used to pretending to be a goddess, but she is not as articulate as you. You can't fight a war, and you can't argue with your tongue. I'm afraid I'm going to completely surrender..."

"Hey," Lin Fie sighed lightly, ignoring Song Jia's banter, and said, "It's not that simple, but fortunately the second son left by Liu An'er is still young, there are some problems, it's good to be less bloody-"

"Just Liu An'er's two sons, what kind of ambitions can they have? I'm afraid of pushing people up for it. It was really troublesome at that time," Song Jia said.

"What can I do?" Lin Bie sat in the car, shifted and asked.

"You married Liu Miaozhen!" Song Jia said.

Lin Bie almost fell out of the car and refuted, "Nonsense."

"Am I talking nonsense?" Song Jia asked reluctantly, "You said that the generals of the Red Jacket Army were so wary and refused to give up their military power. Why? It's not that they are worried about liquidation in the future. Someone will push Liu An'er's second son out, why? It's not the four characters of 'fame, wealth and wealth' - you marry Liu Miaozhen, you can reassure the heart of the general of the red jacket army, the general of the red jacket army joins Huaidong and builds a career, which is comparable to supporting Liu An'er. Two sons with runny noses have a better chance - I don't think this is what I think, nor is it necessarily someone in Huaidong thinks so, and I don't think no one in the Red Jacket Army does not think so! As long as we can get A rich and noble road to confer a wife and a son in Huaidong, who cares how bad Liu Miaozhen is for you? Of course, there is no guarantee that others will have a coveted heart for Liu Miaozhen in the future!"

"Bao," Lin Fu smiled bitterly. Speaking of sharp teeth and sharp mouth, he was not as good as Song Jia, so he asked directly, "Tell me, will the Song family send a daughter for me?"

"Bah!" Song Jia spat at Lin Bie, her face flushed with blush, she didn't expect to talk about her for a long time, and said, "She Feixiong is playing lively on the western front, Huizhou will come down, she The family’s anger is not over yet, how could my scheming daddy remember that my daughter is still living abroad.”

Lin Fu sighed softly, if the Song family could be drawn over, the situation on the southern front would be much simpler. But She Song and the other six surnames are too deeply entangled with each other. If the She family is destroyed, even if the Song family sees the opportunity, they will lose half their lives. Until the end, who has the courage to break the arm?

At this time, Lin Fu had no intention of secretly sending someone to Quanzhou to contact him. Even if he wanted to play tricks and tricks, he had to back it up with strength.

Returning to Dongya, it was already dawn in the early morning. Lin Fu was about to return to the mountain to rest when a letter came back. The South Road troops formed by the Jinghai First Water Battalion and the Chongcheng Infantry Battalion successfully captured Yizhou.

However, before the arrival of the South Route Army, the officials, defenders, clan forces and a large number of people sent by the Governor's Office of Zhejiang and Fujian to Yizhou had already evacuated in advance. It gave Huaidong a ruined city and less than 10,000 people in Yizhou who did not have time to evacuate.

Due to the burning of large areas of the village and the robbing of food and money, more than ten thousand Yizhou people ~www.wuxiamtl.com~ have become refugees waiting to be fed, eagerly waiting for the Huaidong Army for relief.

The fighting strength of Zhejiang and Fujian at sea is dominated by the East Zhejiang Navy. In the battle of East Zhejiang, the East Zhejiang Navy lost nearly half, and the remnants were blocked in the middle and upper reaches of the Qianjiang River. Zhejiang and Fujian were the only naval forces on the southern line. Power can only be used to block the Minjiang River, and it is not capable of going out to sea to compete with the Huaidong Navy.

In this case, even if Zhejiang and Fujian did not want to give up Yizhou Island, they would be more passive in their defense. Shewenzhuang was decisive. Seeing that there was no hope of counterattacking Mingzhou, he ordered all resources that could be withdrawn to be withdrawn from Yizhou Island, and those that could not be withdrawn to be destroyed, so as not to give Huaidong any advantage.

Not only to forcibly evacuate Dinghu, but also to organize people to sprinkle salt near Yizhou City to destroy the fields.

No matter how deep the foundation of the luxury family's business in Yizhou Island in the past, the matter of relocating people and destroying their fields can never win the hearts of the people. For a while, the people of Yizhou also raised their troops to resist, suppressing and killing many people for the She family.

Huaidong's movements were not slow. He was almost in Chongcheng and rested in Shangyu. As soon as the expansion of the village was completed, he sent troops to the south, intercepting nearly 10,000 people.

The so-called gain and loss, this is good, the Huaidong Army will take over Yizhou Island, which will reduce a lot of resistance, and can directly fill more than 10,000 refugees on Yizhou Island. Under the current circumstances, Huaidong is only worried that there is no more land to resettle the refugees, but he is not worried about the shortage of people.

In Lin Fu's impression, the Taiwan Island of later generations is the current Yizhou Island. The paddy fields can grow three crops of rice a year, and the annual output should be 60-70% higher than that of the cultivated fields in Chongzhou. It is a pity that Yizhou Island is still in the development stage, with only about 20,000 mu of wet and dry fields. It is very limited. It is better than nothing; and the cost of land reclamation on Yizhou Island is too high. , it depends on how much potential Huaidong Bank still has to tap. My QT room is open!
