Gu Wuchen planned to leave Jiangning for Dongyang early the next morning, but was delayed for a long time for Lin Fu's temporary official title of "Army Preparation, Road and Food Raising Envoy".
Liu An'er gathered a crowd to revolt and robbed and killed the auxiliary general Qin Chengbo at Luoyang Lake, which shocked the government and the public. However, in the hearts of civil and military officials, Liu An'er's rebellion was just a scabies attack and was nothing to worry about. They sent envoys to Jiangning to offer condolences and comfort.
The counter-insurgency was also carried out in accordance with the policy agreed upon by the various government agencies in Jiangdong County, excluding Li Zhuo, and focused on the clearing and suppression by the Huai Town Army led by Jiangdong Admiral Zuo Shangrong. Huai'an, Weiyang, Dongyang, and Haozhou were also divided into areas to suppress the rebellion.
It is agreed that the four prefectures should organize and train rural warriors to prepare for chaos. In order to limit the power of the prefects, the preparation and training of rural warriors should be led by the general magistrate and supervised by the deputy envoys of the inspector and the officials.
The prefecture and county raised the funds.
Dongyang Prefecture is allowed to compile three thousand township warriors; Haozhou Prefecture is promised to compile two thousand township braves; Huai'an has an anti-bandit camp and is promised to compile one thousand township braves; Weiyang Prefecture is promised to compile one thousand township braves to suppress bandits.
Just from the arrangement of the training quota for Xiangyong, we can also see the key role played by the Chu Party behind the scenes. Since Gu Wuchen was from Dongyang, his position in the Chu Party became increasingly important, so Dongyang officials naturally treated him as if they were members of the Chu Party.
people.
Gu Wuchen supervised the battle in Dongyang, so he naturally became the supervisor of Dongyang's training of local warriors and was responsible for raising food, wages, and military preparations. Even if Jia Pengyu did not have the intention to leave, Gu Wuchen asked Lin Fu to serve as the military preparation and food envoy, and Jia Pengyu could not object.
Gu Wuchen only stayed in Jiangning for half a day to finalize Lin Fubing's errand to prepare the food envoy. After a brief lunch, he took a boat to the north bank and rushed to Dongyang to supervise the war. To everyone's surprise, Gu Wuchen went to Dongyang this time.
He also took his son Gu Siyuan out for training.
Gu Wuchen is about to be promoted to the rank of third-rank inspector. By then, Gu Siyuan will not take the scientific examination, but Ximen Yin can become an official. What he lacks is experience and qualifications. Gu Wuchen probably also gave up on letting Gu Siyuan take the scientific examination and became an official. He wanted to send his son to
Train yourself to be your own assistant.
Lin Fu didn't know that there were rumors in Hekou that Gu Wuchen would marry his daughter to him to win over him. Fu Qinghe took the two of them in disguise and set off straight to Danyang Mansion in the early morning. Lin Fu also wanted to leave earlier, but there were many things in Hekou.
He must arrange things properly.
Lin Fu envoys Lin Mengde, Lin Jingzhong, Zhao Hu, Cao Zi'ang, Ge Cunxiong, the young Loach Master who stayed to supervise the construction of the five-masted sailboat, and the seventh lady Gu Yingxiu discussed the many matters at Jiyun Society. Zhao Qingshan is also worthy of trust.
, the rest of the Lin family were also in trouble with Lin Fu at this time.
There is nothing to worry about in many matters in Jiyun Society. Changsun Geng and Yang Shi are in charge of the prison island, and the most important new soldiers are personally controlled by Zhao Hu. There is nothing to worry about in a short period of time; but in Lin Fu
After leaving, given their distant relationship with Gu Wuchen, Zhao Qinmin should naturally be in charge of Hekou. If anything happened here in Hekou or in Jiangning City, Zhang Yubo and Chen Yuanliang would only discuss it with Zhao Qinmin, and even Yang Shi's
The right to participate is also stronger than that of Lin Mengde and others.
In order to prevent Zhao Qinmin from using chicken feathers as arrows to make small moves behind the scenes and arbitrarily change his deployment of Hekou, and Lin Mengde and the others could not publicly restrict his name, Lin Fu must try his best to report the recent main work of Hekou before leaving.
Make good decisions, at least on major matters, leaving no room for Zhao Qinmin to make changes.
Zhang Yubo was an upright man, and Lin Fu had a close friendship with him. The river mouth was very close to Donghua Gate. After Lin Fu took Wu Wei away, Zhang Yubo and Liu Xilin were needed for the defense here. He was not in Jiangning, and Zhang Yubo was the only one nearby.
In order to restrain Zhao Qinmin, Lin Fu specially invited Zhang Yubo to determine the subsequent main work of Hekou.
Lin Fu was delayed at the mouth of the river for several days.
**********
On the eve of Lin Fu's departure for Pingjiang Mansion, Zhao Shuhan and Ge Siyu came to the mouth of the river.
"Both the government and the public regard Liu An'er as a scabies sufferer," Zhao Shuhan said, looking at the turbid river water in Chaotiandang. The west of Qiupu Prefecture, the whole county of Jiangxi, and most of Huguang area have been flooded this year, and a large number of refugees have dispersed along the river and come to Jiangning.
There are many, and the situation is becoming more and more difficult. Even in this Chaotian Dang, floating corpses from upstream float in from time to time. Zhao Shuhan looked at Lin Fu, "You know the military affairs, do you think this is really the case?"
"Liu An'er's troops are composed of tens of thousands of soldiers. This judgment is still appropriate for the time being." Lin Fu stood on the river bank and faced the breeze blowing from Chaotiandang, feeling a little cool in the hot summer. "The most important thing is
The question is, how much stronger can the Changhuai Army under the command of Admiral Zuo Shangrong be compared to this rabble? At this time of summer, both sides can't restrain themselves from attacking. It's like everyone is standing in the water, who is wearing pants and who is not wearing pants?
No one else can see it, but when the water recedes, it will no longer be possible to hide whoever is wearing pants or not. If the Changhuai army is defeated, and the township warriors have a short training time, they will not be able to use it. From the west of Hongzepu to Huaishang,
There will be no troops to mobilize in a short period of time. Whether or not Chen Zhihu's troops should be mobilized to go south is another focus of dispute between the DPRK and China... It is useless to say this, we can only take it one step at a time."
Zhao Shuhan sighed slightly. Although Jiang Ning Qingliu's rejection of Lin Fu became more and more serious, he believed in his heart that it was people like Lin Fu who could finally turn the tide, not those Qingliu disciples who only knew how to talk. Now he
Seeing those self-proclaimed Qingliu people who can only talk nonsense, I became more and more disgusted. They were troubled by external worries and internal disturbances, and I also felt a little depressed. I either invited Ge Siyu to come to the mouth of the river to relax, or he stayed at home and studied.
"Let's not talk about this anymore. It is useless to sigh here for a long time. If the strategy of conquering Lang Min Yong can be implemented in the county, it can be a good strategy for governing the country and ensuring peace. Shu Han, come together to watch the training of Min Yong."
Ge Siyu was transferred from the position of director of the production department of the Jiangning Ministry of Industry to the deputy supervisor of Longjiang Shipyard. Although he was still a ninth-grade sesame official, it was a practical job after all. The two five-masted sailing ships ordered by Lin Fu were built there.
Under the supervision of Ge Siyu, he built a house at the mouth of the river, and planned to move his family to the mouth of the river in a few days. He was in a much happier mood than Zhao Shuhan, and encouraged him to gather around the house to watch Min Yong's training.
**********
More than 4,000 refugees and refugees from war disasters were resettled at the mouth of the river, which not only provided sufficient labor for the construction of the river mouth, but also provided a population base for Lin Fu to train civilian bravery and implement step-by-step military preparation at the mouth of the river.
The imperial court allowed the Sifu to officially organize and train rural warriors. In addition to providing food and salary for the local preparations, the rest were the same as the town army, and military officers were also awarded. The vast majority of the people in Hekou were from Shiliang County who had fallen to the bandits.
Training people's bravery also has a natural reputation.
Of course, at this time, the large-scale training of civilian warriors was no longer just to provide reserve soldiers for Jiyunshe's military guards; in order to gain the support of Lin Tingli and other Lin family members and Gu Wuchen, Lin Fu must agree to join Linli Township Warriors in the future.
You can recruit strong men and women from the people's bravery at the mouth of the river to supplement the battle losses.
Now that Gu Wuchen and Lin Tingli are training Xiangyong in Dongyang, they will inevitably use the two hundred Linli Xiangyong led by Lin Jiyuan and Chen Shouyan as the backbone. Lin Fu training civilian Yong at Hekou is actually training reserve soldiers for Dongyang Xiangyong; and that's the only way
, Lin Fu can use things cheaply at the mouth of the river.
Lin Fu had compiled and compiled fifty or sixty pages of detailed military training rules at this time. He did not hide it from Yang Shi, and naturally he did not hide it from Gu Wuchen. After all, his military training ideas were very different from the mainstream of the world. Gu Wuchen and the others were all
At first I didn't pay any special attention to it.
In the Battle of Hekou, most of the Jiyun Military Guards were newly recruited Lin Jiayong. Under the leadership of Lin Fushen's pioneers, they were as powerful as tigers and wolves. Their fighting appearance was much stronger than before the reorganization; the newly recruited soldiers were all Yang Shi himself.
It had only been two months since he was selected from the refugees and given to Lin Fu for training. Zhao Hu led him by car and boat to fight in Chaotiandang, destroying the enemy's boat formation like a broken bamboo, as if he had been reborn.
It can be said that the enemies fought in the Battle of Hekou were all stragglers. The details of the Qujiatong Bandit Case were not disclosed to the outside world. However, insiders who witnessed the Battle of Hekou could see that Lin Fu was covered up.
You can't do military training without training.
Yang Pu, Ma Chao and other people who had been with the military camp for a long time also realized that if the three thousand rural warriors given by the Central Government to Dongyang could have the fighting will shown by the Jiyunshe military guards in the Battle of Hekou, Liu An'er's troops would be killed.
It would be much easier to expel them from the northern border of Dongyang Prefecture.
Gu Wuchen and Lin Tingli were under great pressure to train Xiangyong in Dongyang. Lin Fu's work in Hekou actually shared part of their pressure. Gu Wuchen even set aside 10,000 taels of silver for Lin Fu to use exclusively for this purpose.
Gu Wuchen is pragmatic. He confiscated more than 200,000 taels of cash from the Qu family. There is no hesitation. Except for Lin Fu, Chen Yuanliang, Zhang Yubo and others, the maximum income to his name is as high as
One hundred and twenty thousand taels of cash. What made Gu Wuchen far better than ordinary officials was that he did not think about using this money to satisfy his own selfish desires, but planned to use most of the money to train Dongyang Xiangyong.
The imperial court only gave a legitimate name for military training, but to train three thousand local warriors into elite soldiers, the annual food and salary would cost 60,000 taels of silver, and the cost of equipment and equipment was astonishingly high. All these had to be raised by the local government. If Gu Wuchen wanted to succeed,
At this time, arguing with the local government will delay the opportunity, so you have to put money in first.
Of course, if Gu Wuchen was able to get in with such a high price, it would be impossible for him to become his direct descendant after becoming a hero in Dongyang Township.
Gu Wuchen was trapped in the party struggle and had no choice. Just like Lin Fu had to rely on Gu Wuchen, Gu Wuchen had to rely on Zhang Xie in the court and the other Chu party had no choice. In addition, he was still a very capable and courageous official.
Far stronger than others.
The so-called folk bravery is determined by Lin Fu's transformation of the two forms of local bravery of the current generation and reserve soldiers of later generations.
All men over the age of 15 in Hekou will undergo intensive military training in batches lasting from ten to fifteen days in order to continue to prepare the people's bravery; the best ones will be selected from the continued preparations of the people's bravery and then undergo fifteen-day training every quarter.
Tian's centralized military training is to prepare the backbone of the people's bravery. The backbone of the people's bravery will serve as the basic defense force of Hekou and provide some reserve soldiers for the Wuwei and Dongyang Xiangyong.
The formation of civilian warriors is based on enclosed houses. Each enclosed house guarantees forty to sixty backbone civilian warriors, and a military room equipped with simple weapons such as bamboo spears, single swords, wooden shields, and hunting bows; during the training period, additional personnel are provided.
Prepare the people and provide food subsidies to key people, and actively guide key people to become the backbone of many tasks in Hekou.
Lin Fu opened a large open space to the west of the surrounding house at the mouth of the river as a training camp for civilian warriors. A rotation training system was adopted, which did not affect the construction of the river mouth and the employment of many other affairs. The civilian warriors who were properly trained could also be used as a daily guard force for the river mouth.
Although Cao Ziang was doing this work from the beginning, the focus of the work before Hekou was not on this area. There were no people and not enough materials for Cao Ziang to do this. A large number of refugees who fled the war only came to Hekou after May.
, there is no difference between the two hundred civilian braves who were previously trained and the follow-up civilian braves and the backbone civilian braves. During the Battle of Hekou, Lin Fu only dared to use them to collect corpses and capture prisoners. At this time, there was a good opportunity to officially start this work.
In the Battle of Hekou, Lin Fushen led the troops with overwhelming force and killed more than 250 bandits and Qu family soldiers. Not counting minor injuries, Jiyun Military Guards also suffered nearly 40 casualties. In the end, eight people failed to survive.
After being rescued, nearly 30 other injured people were not seriously injured and could not return to the team for the time being.
Lin Fu selected forty strong men from among the people's brave men and incorporated them into the Jiyun Guards to keep them full, and allocated thirty injured guards with combat experience to Cao Zi'ang to train as the people's braves. In this way, the people's guards were
There will be enough manpower to organize and implement the bravery training work; in Hekou, in addition to Zhao Qingshan leading more than a hundred Linjiayuan braves, Cao Ziang and others will also be left with a small elite force for maneuver; in addition, Lin Fu will also use this method to reserve elites
