Timur was so angry that he vomited blood from his internal organs, but his mouth was stuffed with rags, and his body was tied up like a rice dumpling with soaked hemp ropes. He could neither curse nor struggle. His eyes were so wide open that they were about to burst. He looked at Lin.
They tied him up and treated his beloved armor as a weapon of war, carefully admiring and playing with it. They wished they could die at this moment, but he couldn't help it.
As white fish belly appeared in the east, Lin Mengde, Yang Yihang, and Cao Ziang led the cavalry and the auxiliary troops of the engineering camp to continue to inspect the battlefield. The Jiangdong Left Army and the remaining infantry of the Jinzhong Army were all assembled at the foot of Wangdentai Mountain.
Lin Fu sent Wei Zhonglong and Wu Tian each to lead their troops to Changlu and Qingqi villages to strengthen the defense of these two villages. At the same time, he asked the soldiers and civilians of other villages to gather at Changlu, Qingqi and Wokou villages from now on.
To prevent the Qi cavalry from counterattacking at any time.
He wants Ma Yigong, and Zhou Tongdu will temporarily return to Wokou Village with them. How to fight next, whether to advance westward, how many troops to bring to the west, and how to defend Jinhai, all must be carefully planned.
It was already daylight when we returned to Wokou Village. Lin Fu led the Jiangdong Left Army to Jinhai, and many officials and gentry, including the magistrate of Qingxian County, the Prime Minister of Jinhai County, the Chief Secretary, etc., who had not shown up when he led the Jiangdong Left Army to Jinhai, gathered at Wokou Village.
, I don’t know where they came from. When they saw Lin Fu, Lin Xuwen, Liu Zhi, and Yang Zhishan returning with their army, they cried bitterly and almost came forward to hug Lin Xuwen’s thigh.
The heinous crime is unforgivable and the crime is extremely heinous.
The three mansions of Yannan were so destroyed by the cavalry. We can't blame these officials for their inability to resist. Compared with the officials and generals who surrendered to the city, the character of these officials and gentry is much better. Besides, they were absolutely useless after the city was broken.
Most of them retreated to Wuzhai and were considered part of the resistance behind enemy lines.
The key point is that Lin Xuwen wants to control the place in the name of being the censor of the right capital and supervising the military preparations of Hejian Prefecture. For the time being, he can only rely on these officials and gentry. If they want to get rid of the guilt of weak resistance, they can only come and hold them at this time.
Lin Xuwen’s thighs.
With Lin Xuwen supporting him in front, Lin Fu let go and did not interfere with local affairs. The remnants of the Jinzhong army entered the Wokou Village to camp, and Lin Fu sent the Jiangdong Left Army to camp on both wings of the narrow area between the Wokou Village and the seawall.
After resting, he greeted Liu Zhi and Yang Zhishan, assigned many military tasks, and then he got into a tent and slept.
When Lin Fu woke up, there were bonfires lit outside the camp. He looked up at the sky. It was dark without stars and moon. He didn't know whether it was going to rain or snow. The guard on duty told him: "
Du Qian sent someone over to tell him that when the Lord wakes up, he will go into the village to discuss matters..."
"Is there anything to eat? Help me get some. I forgot to eat before going to bed. I'm so hungry..." Lin Fu held his stomach in his hands and ordered. He ate some food to fill his stomach, put on his clothes and armor, and went to the wound first.
After visiting the injured soldiers in the sick camp, they rushed to Wokou Village with dozens of personal guards. Lin Mengde came from behind, and Lin Fu took him to Wokou Village with him.
At nightfall, a large number of captive soldiers appeared again in the northwest of Qingqi Village. The battlefield inspection work was terminated in advance, and they all retreated to Wokou Village. The captives suffered a big loss and did not dare to enter on a large scale.
The area between the three villages.
Most of the soldiers and civilians of Wuzhai in Qingqi and Jinhai counties have withdrawn to Changlu, Qingqi and Wokou. Those who have not been withdrawn cannot be taken care of for the time being. Wu Tian and Wei Zhonglong each have 600 Jinzhong soldiers.
A similar number of rural soldiers were stationed at Changlu and Qingqi villages, while other soldiers, horses, and injured soldiers were evacuated to Wokou village.
Not counting the Jiangdong Left Army and the remnants of the Jinzhong Army, there were 2,000 rural soldiers gathered in Wokou Village.
The number of villagers who evacuated to Wukou Village was as high as 20,000. Including those who were dispersed to other Wuzhai villages, the number was almost 30,000. During the war, they still stayed in the country and struggled to survive. There may be many who fled to other places.
However, before the war, the total population of Qing County and Jinhai County was as high as 220,000.
Naturally, Wokou Village cannot accommodate so many people. Lin Xuwen is now the highest governor of Hejian Prefecture. When Lin Fu fell asleep, Lin Xuwen borrowed a ship to transport people to the ship for resettlement. The capacity of the five thousand stone ship was completely
It turned out that the decks and bilges were all used, and the two ships could transport more than 4,000 people at a time. Nearly 9,000 people were transported to the island in two trips. At this time, the third group of people was being organized to board the ship.
Lin Fu looked at the gloomy night sky. Fortunately, they had previously planned to build a temporary logistics base on the island. They had erected a number of simple shelters to store military supplies. Now that they were freed up, people could avoid the snow and rain. Otherwise, this severe cold would
Weather, if you are hit by rain and snow on the island, a lot of people will freeze to death? Fortunately, Lin Fu transported a batch of rice from Dengzhou in advance, and military supplies are stored on the island. The Donglu cannot block the sea route, so there is no need to worry here.
If there is no food, we just need to organize a ship immediately to transport food to Dengzhou.
On the way, Lin Fu asked about the relief situation.
Lin Xuwen previously served in the Ministry of Industry and was considered a technocrat. His skills in managing the world were much better than ordinary officials. He organized the officials and gentry in Jinhai and Qingxian counties and arranged everything in a fairly orderly manner. Even if there were still shortcomings
In this place, Lin Fu no longer talked much, and just told Lin Mengde that whatever supplies Lin Xuwen needed, we would try our best to support him. Help Lin Xuwen gain a foothold in Hejian Mansion, and Lin Xuwen will not be short of them in the future.
The Zhou family in Wukou Village cleared their house for Lin Xuwen, and Lin Xuwen moved his cabin from the boat to Wokou Village.
Lin Xuwen came to Hejian Prefecture in the name of being the censor of the right capital and supervising the military preparations of Hejian Prefecture. During the war, he was in charge of the military and government affairs of Hejian Prefecture. He could appoint magistrate-level local officials of Hejian Prefecture with his authority. He also came out of Beijing.
He brought with him a group of civil and military officials below the eighth rank who were vacant. Xiangkun who had made outstanding achievements in the resistance of Wuokou Village, Qingqi Village, and Changlu Village were all awarded the title of Zheng Shilang, Chaofeng Lang, Rulin Lang, Dengshi Lang, etc.
The low-level casual ranks were assigned with duties, and the rural generals also awarded low-level military positions such as Xiaoqi Lieutenant, Xiaoqi Deputy Lieutenant, Feather Cavalry Lieutenant, and Feather Cavalry Deputy Lieutenant, which established the framework of Xiangyong in Hejian Prefecture.
The Jiangdong Left Army and the remnants of the Jinzhong Army in Hejian Prefecture are just guest troops entering the territory to fight. The Zhenfu Army in Hejian Prefecture has been completely disabled. Even the military attaches are missing. The local military preparations can only start from the Xiangyong.
Grab it.
The mess that followed was enough to make Lin Xuwen very anxious. Lin Fu saw Lin Xuwen's black eyes growing out of the pit. Although the victory of Jinhai made people excited, people are not made of iron. From the time Lin Xuwen left the capital, he had no
After a good sleep, Lin Fu returned to Wokou Village before noon and went to the tent to sleep. Lin Xuwen hadn't even blinked his eyes until now.
Lin Xuwen saw Lin Fu coming over, stood up with the desk in his hand, walked to the atrium, and pulled him to the corner of the yard to discuss things: "Is there something I want to discuss with you?"
"Brother's order is, is there anything to discuss?" Lin Fu said.
Lin Mengde saw that Lin Xuwen came to the courtyard to talk about anything. He was afraid that there was something shameful, so he went into the lobby first and waited.
"No, no, this matter needs to be discussed with you," Lin Xuwen said, "Sun Shangwang is a talented person. I am very busy here and need someone who is familiar with local affairs to help me. I want to talk to you about Sun Shangwang.
Ask for it. If he stays to help me, I will not do anything wrong to him. As long as you nod your head and agree, I will immediately confer him the title of Minister of the Imperial Court..."
Chaofenglang was promoted from the eighth rank to Chaofenglang. Although Sun Shangwang had the reputation of being a scholar, he had not been an official before. Even counting his military merits, it was very difficult for him to be directly promoted to Chaofenglang. Although Lin Xuwen had a number of blank applications, they were all in the ninth grade.
Most of them are from the ninth grade, so squeezing out one from the eighth grade can be regarded as a generous move.
"If there is an inspection department at Wukou and Sun Shangwang is appointed as the inspector, I can leave him to you, eldest brother..."
"This is easy to do, I promise you," Lin Xuwen said, "Nowadays, all the affairs of Hejian Mansion are concentrated at Wokou. Setting up an inspection department and making Sun Shangwang the inspector can help me sort out the complicated and complex areas of more than ten miles around.
The matter is settled..."
Even though the sea canal only flourished for a short period of time and then was abandoned, Wokou was still one of the most important transfer stations in the eastern coastal area from the sea to Gyeonggi.
The Lin family prospered because of the market in Shanglinli. Lin Xuwen knew the importance of the vortex. Besides Lin Fu's benefits, there were also the benefits of the Lin family. Why didn't Lin Xuwen even wink?
Lin Xuwen agreed wholeheartedly and took Lin Fu's arm. Sun Shangwang had already borrowed it from Lin Xuwen to take charge of the resettlement of the villagers. He was busy in the lobby when he saw Lin Fu and Lin Xuwen coming in hand in hand. He stood up and saluted hurriedly, but did not know that he had already
Lin Xuwen and Lin Fu jointly sold it.
Lin Xuwen still lacked a capable person who could take care of the military affairs of Xiangyong for him. According to his wishes, he wanted to select someone from Yang Yihang, Ma Yigong, Zhou Tong and others to entrust him with the important task. However, the problem of the remnant army in Jinzhong was very complicated.
He couldn't use them rashly, so he refrained from talking about it for the time being.
Of course, in Lin Xuwen's heart, it would be better if Lin Fu could leave Zhao Qingshan to him. Zhao Qingshan is a descendant of Shanglinli and comes from a rural background in Shanglinli. He is more reliable than anyone else, but Zhao Qingshan is now Jiangdong's
Even if the main generals of the Left Army wanted to oust people, they would have to wait until after the war.
Entering the inner house, more than ten people including Liu Zhi, Yang Zhishan, Ma Yigong, Zhou Tong, Yang Yihang, Jinhai and Qingxian local officials and gentry representatives were already sitting here waiting. When they saw Lin Xuwen, Lin Xu, and Lin Mengde come in, they all
Stand up and greet.
Yang Zhishan said: "Congratulations to Lin Dujian for winning another great victory over Jinhai. We have already verified the military achievements. Jiangdong Left Army and Jinzhong Army suffered less than 1,500 casualties and 1,367 owl.
It was indeed a great victory. In addition, we captured 3,327 horses, thousands of pieces of armor, more than 3,000 taels of gold, more than 67,000 taels of silver, and 70,000 jins of copper..."
"The left army in Jiangdong made the greatest contribution in this battle," Liu Zhi said. "It is up to Superintendent Lin to decide how to distribute the captured military merit..."
"Everyone has killed Lin Fu." Lin Fu bowed his hands and sat down with Lin Xuwen and others to discuss the matter. Lin Fu did not go through the detailed accounts of the seizures. He sat down and asked Liu Zhi sideways. Lin Xuwen said: "Lin Duqian, Liu Guanjun, can you
What terms will be negotiated?"
"Waiting for you to come and decide..." Lin Xuwen said. He has the highest official position here, but from this moment on, he represents the Hejian Prefecture, Lin Fu represents the Jiangdong Left Army, and Ma Yigong and the others represent the Jinzhong Army, but Ma Yigong
They all only followed Lin Fu's horse, and the military achievements and captures were all achieved by Jiangdong Zuojun and Jinzhong soldiers. Lin Xuwen certainly would not use his official position to pressure others. Besides, he and Lin Fu were brothers of the same clan, so they would have the right to make decisions.
If you leave it to Lin Fu, you won't have to worry about anything, and you can also block other people's excuses.
"Since you are all making things difficult for me," Lin Fu said with a shy smile, "I will just state my opinion. If there is anything wrong, you have to correct it for me..."
"Master Lin, please give me your orders. There is no reason why we should not obey..." Ma Yigong said on behalf of the Jinzhong soldiers.
Ma Yigong and others were convinced of Lin Fu, but Lin Fu's tone and demeanor made Liu Zhi feel a little unhappy. However, he had just received a good sword, so he was naturally much more tolerant towards Lin Fu.
With a smile on his face, he watched how Lin Fu distributed the military merits and captured them. Not to mention other things, more than 3,000 foreign horses alone were a huge sum of money.
"The seized property was also looted by soldiers from the three prefectures of Yannan. There is no reason to divide it privately. My opinion is that all of it should be returned to the local treasury and used for the reconstruction of Hejian Prefecture and refugee relief," Lin Fu
He said, "Captain Ma, do you think it's okay?"
"We all obey Mr. Lin's orders," Ma Yigong said. "We can only survive in Jinhai and Qingxian County because of local support. This is what we should..."
After the war, millions of people in Hejian Prefecture will rebuild their homes. The imperial court will allocate some money. However, the finances in the DPRK and Central Government are tight, and the amount of money that can be allocated is very limited. The key is to have local governments raise their own funds. The entire Hejian Prefecture was crippled and looted.
Once it is empty, the place to raise money will be extremely limited.
After Lin Fu and Ma Yigong expressed their stance, Lin Xuwen and the local officials stood up and bowed to express their gratitude on behalf of the local government, saying: "On behalf of Hejian Prefecture, I would like to thank Superintendent Lin. Captain Ma understands the righteousness well and is considerate of the local government..."
"Lin Duqian is too polite," Lin Fu smiled and said, "Military merits, armors and horses captured, I think this is good, Jiangdong Left Army, Jinzhong Army, and Hejian Prefecture each have their own three points.
…”
Except for the seizure of military supplies and property, military merit does not seem to have direct benefits to the local area. However, for the local gentry, the court will naturally award civil and military officers or even lords as a token of commendation for their military merit in resisting foreigners.
Some merchants, although their families are extremely rich but their status is low, are most concerned about this. They usually have more than one head pressure from the government. With the status of an independent official, they can see their parents as equals and they will be happy to spend any amount of money.
Lin Xuwen can definitely exchange it for money.
Although Lin Xuwen has the title of the highest local governor, he has no one to ask for in Hejian Mansion and no money, so it is very difficult for him to gain a foothold. Only if Lin Xuwen can gain a foothold in Hejian Mansion can the Lin family infiltrate their influence. Besides, Lin Xuwen agrees
Sun Shangwang takes up the post of the Wukou Inspection Department, and all resources left to Hejian Prefecture will be given priority to the construction of Wukou.
Ma Yigong, Zhou Ting and others couldn't figure out what Lin Fu was planning. It was said that it was appropriate for the Jinzhong soldiers to take one of the three points of military merit, but the other two points should go to the Jiangdong Zuo Army. They saw that Lin Fu was going to Jiangdong Zuo Army.
They were very frightened and said hurriedly: "We are really ashamed and dare not take so much credit..." The general had no complaints about the contribution of the general and the distribution of the seizures to the local area, but he refused to share it with Jiangdong.
The left army takes equal credit.
Lin Fu was about to patiently persuade Ma Yigong and the others to accept this arrangement. At this time, Cao Ziang rushed in from outside the door, regardless of the scale, looking anxious, as if something was going wrong!
