Except for the children of the clan, there are nine levels of meritorious service, with men from the fifth-level county being the lowest for those with 300 households in the city.
The actual benefits of being granted a county baronship are actually not many. First of all, the title is for life and will be exonerated upon death. If it is not a hereditary title, the title cannot be passed on to descendants. The title of Shiyi is just a virtual title, and each household can get a discount of 25 yuan a month.
After all, the food for 300 households in the town is actually an additional salary of 90,000 yuan per year, which is equivalent to about 80 taels of silver. The transfer of 500 acres of Yongye land from Jinhai is a good reward, but compared to the current land
The annexation often involves tens of thousands of acres, and on a scale of one hundred thousand acres, five hundred acres of Yongye farmland is nothing. Lin Fu cannot compete with the villagers for good farmland, and it can be allocated from Jinhai to his private name.
It can only be ownerless wasteland, riverbank land or island land.
The invaders Donglu completely withdrew from the Pass on the 24th. The imperial court refused to admit that it was the Donglu who took the initiative to withdraw from the Pass. Whether it was to deceive others or to encourage the people, the imperial court insisted that it was the garrison of the capital and the Qinwang divisions on all roads who were brave.
After fighting hard and repelling the Japanese soldiers, we have to admit that the Yangxin Defense Battle was a critical and decisive battle related to the transition from advance to retreat for the Eastern Han Dynasty.
Let’s not talk about other things for the moment. In addition to trading a thousand raw barbarian heads, Lin Fu also had more than 2,600 raw barbarian heads and nearly a hundred rebel general heads. He killed and defeated the captive soldiers and the rebel soldiers.
A total of more than 30,000 people were killed, two members of the Donghu royal family were killed, nearly a hundred people were killed by the Donghu nobles, and one general was captured and captured. In terms of first-level military merit, it exceeded the total accumulated by the frontier armies of Datong, Xuanhua, and Jibei towns in several years.
The sum of military achievements.
At that time, Su Hu, who had been on the border for six years, accumulated many military achievements and achieved great victories, and was granted the title of Marquis of Jingbei County. He only accumulated more than 5,000 first-level merits.
The military achievements of the four battles of Cangnan, Xiaobotou Village, Jinhai, and Yangxin were achieved by Lin Fu leading the 3,000 weak brigade of the Jiangdong Left Army, which is even more rare and valuable. In addition, King Qin's military achievements were better than those of the bandits, suppressing the rebellion,
The military merits of the border guards were all one level higher - if Lin Fu hadn't been so weak, it wouldn't be a surprise to be granted the title of Marquis of the County with this military merit.
In any case, the Lord will not reward you for non-military merits. Even the lowest-ranking county baron is a rare honor for civil servants. Very few civil servants are awarded the title of knight. Li Zhuo has only ten years of service in suppressing Fujian.
Being granted the title of County Marquis - In addition to not being able to fully conquer Fujian, he was also suppressed to a certain extent by the Chu Party. Lin Fu promoted his son to serve as an official, and he also led the army as a civil servant and was awarded a title. He was naturally a leader among the civil servants.
There is a kind of brilliance that stands out from the crowd, which makes up for his humble background of not being a Jinshi.
In any case, he was only twenty-two years old, and within a year and a half of joining the officialdom, he was awarded a title for his military merits, and was promoted to the fifth rank. Although it cannot be said to be unique, except for Taizu in the early years of the founding of the country, this person was
There have been only a few people in the dynasty for more than two hundred years. There is really no need to talk about whether they were born as Jinshi or not.
Regarding the opening of the sea canal, the DPRK and the Central Government were in a hurry and had not yet formulated a complete plan. Instead, they showed some thought in rewarding Lin Fu for his military merits.
Lin Fu may feel that he has not received any substantial benefits except for the 50,000 taels of silver reward for military merit, but he has to admit that this advanced knighthood has brought about a huge change in his identity, that is, he can now be considered to have real power.
Lin Xuwen, who sent a local official, was also very envious of Lin Fu's reward, so he could not complain that the imperial court did not reward him generously.
In the past, others compared Lin Fu to Dong Yuan, but now Lin Fu has become the new idol.
Tang Haoxin announced the edict on his behalf and congratulated Lin Fu with everyone else. Lin Fu naturally pretended to be very excited in return.
The generals of the Jiangdong Left Army, except for Zhou Pu who led a fleet of armored soldiers to escort the Great Loach Lord Ge Cunxin back to Chongzhou, Cao Ziang, Ao Canghai, Zhao Qingshan, Ning Zechen and others were not particularly interested in the official titles of the Dayue Dynasty.
.
After announcing the decree to reward the meritorious service, Lin Fu was so hungry in the lobby that he asked Tang Haoxin who had come to Jinhai by carriage and still hadn't had a meal. Seeing that Tang Haoxin had no intention of eating at all, he asked Lin Mengde to go to the kitchen.
He ordered someone to give each of them a bowl of meat sauce noodles. No matter how urgent they were, only with a full stomach could they have the strength to talk about things and work. He also asked people to call Cao Ziang, Sun Shangwang and others over to discuss things together.
Tang Haoxin's mind was entirely focused on the canal issue. If the grain shortage in the capital was delayed for even one day, it might lead to a great chaos that would shake the foundation of his ancestors. The harm would not necessarily be much less than the Eastern invaders.
Chen Jintang, the head of the Ministry of Works, was Lin Xuwen's subordinate when he was at the Ministry of Works. He brought Tang Haoxin here because he was familiar with water control. In addition to Chen Jintang and Ma Chao, there were also Zhang Wendeng, the head of the Ministry of Household Affairs, the deputy envoy of Gyeonggi Okura and
The more than ten officials were all technocrats who were directly recruited into the Tianjin-Haidu Water Transport Department, so Lin Xuwen could not be allowed to serve as a bare-bones commander.
Opening the sea canal involves many technical projects. The Jinhai side has sufficient manpower and materials, but lacks the guidance of technical officials, so no matter how abundant the manpower is, it cannot be used to its full potential.
Chen Jintang and Zhang Wendeng represented the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Household Affairs, but their official positions were very low, which also showed the attitude of the central government towards the opening of sea canals. Lin Xuwen and Lin Fu were the main ones. Officials from the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Household Affairs were here to cooperate, not
To control.
If anyone else had come over, neither Lin Fu nor Lin Xuwen would be so easy to deal with. Tang Haoxin came over in person, and Lin Fu quickly confessed to him. At least Tang Haoxin was trustworthy at this time. Especially since the Chu party has already
Seeing the crack, Lin Fu could only stand closely to Tang Gu's side.
At the vortex mouth, there is no shortage of labor.
As early as the great victory of Jinhai, there were nearly 30,000 villagers and soldiers gathered in Wuokou, Changlu, Qingqi and other villages.
When Lin Fu returned from Yangxin, nearly six thousand captives followed him to Wokou Village. The most rare thing is that almost all of these six thousand captives were young and strong men.
When they were in Yangxin, they were like drowning people grasping at the only straw, placing all their hopes on Lin Fu and the Jiangdong Left Army. Lin Fu did not disappoint them. After arriving at Jinhai, he settled them in the same way.
In the name of refugees fleeing the war, they no longer have to worry about post-war liquidation.
Using work for relief is Lin Fu's consistent idea. Even if he does not open a sea canal, he still has the intention to manage the vortex well.
As early as the 14th, he led his troops to Wukou and handed over 6,000 captured civilians to Lin Mengde, and Sun Shangwang entrusted them with resettlement. When the main force of the Eastern captives had indeed retreated to the Ninghe and Jizhou lines, Lin Mengde and Sun Shangwang arrived.
Preparations have been made to use 6,000 young and strong civilians to repair the seawall and harbor, and plan to build another military stronghold on the opposite bank of Wokou Village as the residence of the Wokou Inspection Department.
The remnants of the Jinzhong Army still have 2,000 infantry and cavalry, and there are more than 600 injured and injured.
The Jiangdong Left Army had more than 2,400 infantry and cavalry stationed in Jinhai, and more than 400 were injured and injured. Of course, Zhou Pu led 800 armored soldiers to escort more than 1,100 injured and injured by sea ship back to Chongzhou Xisha Island for treatment.
There was no need for Lin Fu to explain in detail to Tang Haoxin the matter of recuperation and the remnants of Shao Wu's army being incorporated into the Jiangdong Left Army.
After the victory of Jinhai, in order to prevent the Japanese soldiers from counterattack and prepare for the large-scale return of refugees after the war, Lin Fu chose an island outside Wokou Village to build a military stronghold to evacuate people and store a large amount of supplies, so as to have a natural harbor.
, mainly located on Jinwei Island, six miles southeast of Wukou, with a grain store of more than 40,000 shi, and Wukou Village also had a grain store of 20,000 shi.
In addition to the foreign horses shipped to Chongzhou for sale, there are more than 2,600 foreign horses and nearly 2,000 strong mules and horses in Wuokou, Changlu and Qingqi villages.
Although the Jiyunshe fleet has temporarily returned to Chongzhou, Lin Fu has long attracted maritime merchant organizations from Dengzhou and other places to transport supplies to the Tianjin Sea. Although the seagoing ships at the vortex mouth of the Tianjin Sea have a small carrying capacity,
The quantity is large and the total transport capacity reaches 20,000 stone.
After Tang Haoxin heard Lin Fu's explanation, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. He had previously thought that only Jinhai had the conditions to open a sea canal, but he never thought that the resources accumulated in Jinhai were so sufficient.
"The victory of the Jiangdong Left Army is definitely not a coincidence. I am from the Ministry of Household Affairs. I understand the principle of running an army and supplying it first..." Tang Haoxin said.
When Lin Fu left Jinan and came to Hejian Mansion, he considered the convenience of using the sea route for fixed-point supplies. Hearing what Tang Haoxin said, he just smiled. The cook brought the meat sauce noodles, and Lin Fu and everyone else ate them.
The one who ate the bowl gulped it down first, and worked all night long to draw up a general division of labor plan.
Changlu Village is also on the Woshui River, but it is 11 or 2 miles further inland than Uokou Village near the seawall.
Lin Xuwen led the rural soldiers, villagers and Jinzhong Army to be responsible for excavation of river channels and repairing the post roads to Gyeonggi Province. The main purpose was to widen the Woshui River channel and increase the capacity of transportation and navigation.
Ma Yigong first led the First Division of the Central Shanxi Army. Thousands of rural soldiers followed Chen Jintang, the director of the Ministry of Works, and immediately went to Weitai to prepare for intercepting the water from the Wei River and entering the Guoshui River.
Previously, soldiers and civilians gathered on a large scale near Wokou Village for supplies and relief. At this time, more than 30,000 villagers, soldiers and Jinzhong Army all moved to Changlu Village and built new settlements along the Wushui River.
Excavation of river channels in multiple places at the same time to prepare.
Lin Xuwen himself was from the Ministry of Industry and was good at controlling rivers and building roads. He went to Changlu Village to take charge. Yang Yihang led a Jinzhong Army to cooperate with the Jinhai County Magistrate and led villagers to transport supplies from Wokou Village along the Woshui River to the inner line.
, ensuring material supplies for river excavation and post road construction.
Lin Fu, Tang Haoxin and Zhang Wendeng, the head of the Ministry of Household Affairs, stayed in Wokou Village and were responsible for building granaries, intercepting the Wushui estuary, repairing the harbor and organizing ships to transport grain to Wokou.
In addition to Jiangdong Zuojun, those who stayed in Wokou Village were six thousand captured civilians.
Lin Fu's opinion is to clear out the Wokou Village, move all personnel outside the village, temporarily live in tents, and directly transform the Wokou Village into a super-large granary, so that enough time can be gained and the food stored in the Wokou Village can be stored.
Work must begin immediately.
With only a little more than a month, it is not possible to forcefully organize sea ships. The only way is to sell grain to maritime merchants at low prices in Dengzhou, Laizhou and other places, and buy it at high prices in Tianjin and Hainan, using the high price difference to
Food was brought from Shandong to Tianjin and the Sea; and Dengzhou Shuiying was asked to ensure the safety of the northern sea route.
As long as there is enough grain stored in the vortex, even if it is pushed by a wheelbarrow, the grain can be transported to Yanjing two hundred miles away.
First of all, we must ensure that there is enough food in Denglai and other places, and ensure that the food sold to maritime merchants in Denglai and other places is cheap enough. Originally, Shandong was exempted from sending water to Jinan and Pingyuan Prefectures, so we must immediately request an order to change the original arrangement.
, nearly 300,000 tons of grain from eastern Shandong were gathered in Deng, Lai and other places, and the first batch of grain from the north of Jiangdong County could go to Jinan Prefecture and Pingyuan Prefecture.
These matters require the imperial court to send special imperial envoys to supervise the handling of these matters.
This is an urgent strategy to alleviate the grain shortage in the capital. As long as three and a half million shi of grain can be transported to Yanjing in April, no matter how high the cost is, it can at least prevent a big chaos. ,!
