Lin Fu and Zhao Qinmin accompanied Li Zhuo, and Gao Zongting was talking in the front hall of the thatched cottage. Li Zhuo was very interested in sea water transport. Lin Fu naturally spoke freely. Gu Wuchen planned to make Jiangdong County's water supply to Yanjing reach a level after the autumn grain harvest this year.
One hundred and twenty stones, we must be prepared to take the sea route to prevent the inland waterway from being blocked.
Lin Fu sent people back to the city with the news of Li Zhuo's arrival at the mouth of the river. Yang Pu led his cavalry and the garrison's Jianrui Battalion to take over the defense of the mouth of the river one after another. He knew that officials from Jiangning would arrive soon, and Lin Fu would be inconvenienced.
They prepared a banquet for Li Zhuo and Gao Zongting in the thatched cottage, and asked Liu Yue'er to prepare some refreshments.
At first, I was still accompanying him in the front hall of the thatched cottage, waiting for officials such as Yin Wang Xueshan of Jiangning Prefecture, Jia Pengyu, the Jiangdong Inspector, Gu Wuchen, the Deputy Inspector Gu Wuchen, the left and right ministers of the Jiangning Ministry of War, the censor of Jiangning Youdu, and Zuo Shangrong, the Jiangdong Admiral, to arrive in their cars or sedans after nightfall.
Or if they arrive at the mouth of the river in a chaotic manner on horseback, there will be no place for Lin Fu to stay or talk in the front hall of the thatched cottage, and he cannot pile up his picks and hide on the prison island.
The Hekou side was defended by the Jianrui Battalion of the Jiangning Garrison Town. The lights in the turrets were as bright as the full moon. Many recruiters, military refugees and Dongyang locals who had been resettled in the Hekou were ordered to return to their surrounding houses and were not allowed to wander outside.
, Noisy, but each official has a lot of followers and followers, and they have a very big temper and attitude. They dare not make a noise in front of the thatched cottage where the meeting is held, but instructing the clerks of Jiyun Society is like instructing Sun Tzu. Lin Jingzhong, Qian
Xiaowu and the others could only swallow their anger and serve them wholeheartedly.
All the yamen officials in Jiangning Prefecture planned the reception based on Li Zhuo's itinerary. When it was dark, they heard the news that Li Zhuo, who had come to take over as Jiangning's garrison general, appeared at the mouth of Jinchuan River with Gao Zongting, a famous scholar in western Zhejiang, at dusk. This incident was also caused by
After verification by the Inspector General, it was so chaotic that I lost all attention and order for a while.
Apart from the huts, shacks and thatched cottages where the refugees live, there are no temporary buildings for officials to stay on this side of the river. Everyone didn't know whether to welcome Li Zhuo into the city that night, or to place him in another place outside the city.
Place. The nearest official post is located in Moling County, sixty miles away, or Chaotian Post on the north bank of Chaotiandang; Quyang Town is very close, and there are also luxurious inns, but settling Li Zhuo in Quyang Town is also difficult.
It doesn't work. Besides, after entering the dark side, the security of Quyang Town must be suddenly strengthened to drive out irrelevant personnel, which would also disturb the people. The main officials in Jiangning City decided to go out of the city to greet them first. It depends on Li Zhuo whether he wants to enter the city tonight.
, also sent someone to Quyang Town to make arrangements first, so as not to end up in a panic.
Lin Fu sat on the ridge outside the thatched cottage, Xiaoman and Liu Yue'er sat beside him, saying in Xiaoman's words: "I don't want to serve those lecherous officials..." Everything was going wrong.
Leave it to Lin Jingzhong to do it.
"Does this count as a dove occupying a magpie's nest?" Liu Yuer asked.
"...I'm afraid people still don't like this thatched shed." Lin Fu said with a smile.
"People don't like it, but I just like it," Xiao Man innocently put his arm around Lin Fu and asked him, "Do you think thatched shed is good?"
"What's the point? It doesn't matter if it's a thatched shack or a beautiful house. It only works if you two are here," Lin Fu said with a smile, "As the saying goes: This is my hometown!"
"What's the saying? Why haven't I heard this poem?" Xiao Man asked seriously, staring at Lin Fu's face, but Liu Yue'er thought about the affection conveyed in Lin Fu's words, lowered her head, and felt slightly hot.
Her pretty face was buried between her knees, but her body was close to Lin Fu's strong waist.
"What kind of poetry is not poetry? I'm just talking nonsense..." Lin Fu pushed Xiaoman away with nonsense, thinking to himself: Is it possible that the saying "This place of peace of mind is my hometown" has not been published yet? Maybe it is not widely circulated.
With his level of literature and history, he has no idea where this sentence came from.
Under the light of the corner tower, Lin Fu looked at the busy traffic and the noise of the crowd inside the fence, thinking that among the big bosses in Jiangning City, only Wang Tian, the envoy of Xuanfu, and Qin Chengbo, the general of Jiangning's garrison, did not show up. Li Zhuo came to replace Jiangning's garrison.
As a general, Uncle Qin Cheng would naturally not go out of the city to greet Li Zhuo enthusiastically. Besides, in terms of honors, Uncle Qin Cheng was even more prominent than Li Zhuo, but he did not stop the officials of the Jiangning Military Department and the generals of the garrison.
Come to the mouth of the river to meet Li Zhuo; after all, in terms of reputation, Qin Chengbo knew that he was too far away from Li Zhuo. There was no overlap in power between the Jiangdong Xuanfu Envoy Office and the Jiangning Garrison General Office, so the Xuanfu Envoy Wang Tian would not be in a hurry to meet Li Zhuo.
Come and see Li Zhuo. It won’t be too late to pay him a visit after Li Zhuo enters the city and takes office. Although Jiangning garrison general cannot control the admiral’s mansion at ordinary times, after all, in the name of wartime restraint, Lin Fu has never met the admiral of Jiangdong County since arriving in Jiangning.
Zuo Shangrong also brought the deputy general of the Admiral's Office out of the city to greet him. Judging from this posture, the standard of greeting was much higher than when Gu Wuchen first came to Jiangning.
Hearing the rumor in the thatched cottage that Li Zhuo would enter the city tonight, Lin Fu breathed a sigh of relief. The small temple could not accommodate the great Bodhisattva. If Li Zhuo really wanted to stay at the mouth of the river for one more day, the river mouth would be under martial law for one more day. It was very inconvenient. Look.
As Li Zhuo walked out of the thatched cottage surrounded by Jiangning officials, Lin Fu also stood up, patted his buttocks, and said to the two girls: "I still want to go over and nod and bow..." No matter whether Li Zhuo had taken him or not
This little ninth-grade scholar saw in his eyes that when Li Zhuo was about to leave, Lin Fu had to come forward to see him off. He was not qualified to get too close, so he followed the others and nodded and bowed to watch Li Zhuo go ahead on horseback.
When Li Zhuo got on his horse and held the bridle before leaving, he glanced at Lin Fu's face and paused for a moment. Then he turned his head and glanced at the turret in the distance. Without saying anything, he rode off surrounded by the generals of the garrison.
Go. The six hundred elite cavalrymen of Jianrui camp then broke out of camp and left. Hundreds of lanterns illuminated the newly compacted roadbed for carriages and horses, like a winding fire dragon. The officials who came to the mouth of the river to greet them were also in disorder with their entourage, either on horseback or on horseback.
Follow them back to the city in a sedan or carriage, making the procession longer and more dispersed.
Gu Wuchen was the last to leave. When he came over, he was riding in a carriage. Before getting on the carriage, he called Lin Fu to him and asked him: "What did Li Zhuo talk to you before nightfall?"
Lin Fu glanced at Gu Wuchen's expression and couldn't figure out what he meant by asking this question. He didn't know what Zhao Qinmin said to him in private. He said in a small voice: "I didn't say much. Li Duxu is
After passing the river mouth, I asked some questions about the prison island, and I answered truthfully as many as I could."
"Well," Gu Wuchen sat in the carriage, and Yang Pu lifted the curtain for him. His face was hidden in deep shadows, making it even more difficult to see the expression on his face. After a while, he heard that he was sitting in the carriage.
He said in the shadow, "It has been three to five days since Li Zhuo arrived in Jiangning. Don't let this sentence leak into the ears of others. No matter who he is, Li Zhuo is the person recommended by Chen Xinbo. Don't forget this...
…”
Lin Fuzhi felt a chill running up his back, and he hurriedly replied: "I know..."
"Okay, I'll follow you into the city first. Seeing the situation, I won't be able to stay in the post house until midnight. You come over for dinner tomorrow. We haven't had a glass of wine together for several days." After saying this, Gu Wuchen fell asleep.
Pull up the car curtain and follow the large group of people into the city.
Looking at the meandering team that was more than two or three miles long, with countless wind lanterns stretching out under the night sky, like a fire dragon, Lin Fu stood in front of the fence, and Gu Wuchen's instructions before leaving still made him feel chilled.
. He glanced at Zhao Qinmin, clasped his fists and said, "Mr. Zhao, you are tired too. Go back and rest early..." He thought that he should have said something to Gu Wuchen in private.
Zhao Qinmin said goodbye and left, and Lin Fu returned to the thatched cottage with his two daughters who were standing far away waiting for him.
"Are you thinking about something?" Xiaoman couldn't help but ask as he walked back to the thatched cottage.
"Uh," Lin Fu was stunned, looked up at Xiaoman, and asked, "Is it so obvious?"
Not only Xiaoman, but Liu Yuer also nodded in deep agreement.
"Nothing else, just lamenting the struggle between the ruling and opposition parties." Lin Fu said, thinking that his worried look might also fall into Zhao Qinmin's eyes.
When She Feihu deliberately made friends with this side, Gu Wuchen didn't say anything; not to mention whether Li Zhuo's appearance at the river mouth today was intentional or unintentional, Lin Fu was careful not to act too much, but Gu Wuchen was extremely vigilant. After all, he still deserves to die
Party strife.
During the rebellion of the She family, the East Min army was either surrendered or defeated in three months. The DPRK urgently mobilized troops from Zhejiang and Jiangxi to fight in Fujian. Li Zhuo was appointed as Jiangxi deputy inspector on the recommendation of Chen Xinbo, who was the deputy prime minister at the time.
As an envoy, he led the armies of Jiangxi provinces to fight in Fujian. All the armies were defeated. Only Li Zhuo stabilized the war situation on the Shaowu front line. In the following years, with the support of Chen Xinbo, Li Zhuo served as an envoy to East Fujian and declared
With titles such as Fu Envoy, Minister of War in Jiangning, and Governor of Eastern Fujian, he led the war in Eastern Fujian. Under an extremely unfavorable situation, he suppressed the rebellion of the She family back to Jin'an, Jiaocheng, and Quanzhou, until the She family surrendered and was granted the title of Marquis.
The disastrous defeat at Chentangyi on the northern line the winter before last year resulted in the loss of tens of thousands of troops. Thousands of miles of land and hundreds of thousands of people in the Jibei defense area fell into the hands of the Donghu people.
Almost all the officials of the West Qin Party in the ministry and other ministries were cleared of involvement. It was under this background that the Chu Party came to power. However, Chen Xinbo, the leader of the West Qin Party, is still in power. The current emperor does not seem to be eager to replace him with the Chu Party.
Chen Xinbo.
Li Zhuo was able to rise in the southeast because of Chen Xinbo; many people believe that after the fiasco of Chen Tangyi, Chen Xinbo was able to retain his position because of Li Zhuo - at least that's what the Chu Party believed.
After the Battle of Chentangyi, there were only a handful of famous ministers and generals who could give the government and the public high hopes to turn the tide on the northern front, and Li Zhuo ranked first. The most important thing was that Li Zhuo had been active in the southeastern battlefield for nearly ten years.
The elite men under his command are capable of conquering and fighting, and they are currently the most highly-anticipated large-scale elite military force.
Perhaps the current emperor, or perhaps the Chu Party, believes that only by keeping Chen Xinbo in the position can they calmly recruit the elite from Eastern Fujian to enrich the northern line. Of course, when the Chu Party thinks that everything is calmly laid out, they will probably no longer tolerate Chen Xinbo.
If you continue to stay in the phase, you will do everything you can to bring Chen Xinbo down, so that the West Qin Party will never be able to revive.
In Gu Wuchen's eyes, Li Zhuo is also the Chu Party's archenemy.
