(The Yanyun Tribulation Scroll is over, and the new Taohai Wrath has begun, so vote red!)
The breaking waves are like snow, and the clouds are like mountains. Yuan Yan stands on the deck, her dark and crystal eyes looking at the clear blue water in fascination, like a large piece of sapphire embedded between the sky and the earth. Looking at it makes people wonder.
My mind was clear, and the panic and sadness in the dream all disappeared like smoke at this moment.
Yuan Jianhai was seasick and so dizzy that he almost vomited out all his internal organs. He had been groggy since getting on the ship and could hardly wake up. Zuo Tanggui suggested taking a boat and taking the sea route to Jinhai and then disembarking to Yanjing.
, Yuan Jianhai wanted to kick Zuo Tanggui into the sea at this time. He did not expect that sea sickness would be so painful, and he was determined not to take a boat again in this life.
After Jinan was recovered, Yuan Jianhai did not return to Jinan, but stayed in Yangxin with other people from Prince Lu's palace to await the decree.
After the Donglu captured Jinan, they did not enter Jinan City. After looting everything, they set fire to the whole city. The corpses of tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians who defended the city were scattered everywhere in Jinan City. At this time, Jinan had become a dead city, and there were only a few months left.
After cleaning up, no one could live there at all, and Yuan Jianhai and everyone in Prince Lu's palace could not go back. It was not until the end of February that a special order was sent from the palace to send Yuan Jianhai and Prince Lu's young daughter Yuan Yan to the capital.
By the end of February, a large flood swamp area had formed in the northwest of Yangxin, and all roads were destroyed. In areas along the coastline, due to warmer weather, the ice in the rivers was not conducive to the passage of convoys, so the only option was to take sea boats north to Tianjin.
Then go ashore and take a bus to Beijing.
"Ahead is Jinwei Island. Except for Mr. Lin's Jinwei Island, no other island can accommodate so many people working together!" A boatman standing on the bow deck leading the way helped the little princess Yuan Yan point out Jinwei.
The direction of the island.
"Really, where, where?" Yuan Yan is short. At only twelve years old, she is still growing tall. She stood on tiptoes, her hair was ruffled by the sea breeze, and she could barely see Jinhai Island peeking out of the sea.
At the tip of the island, I can't see the panoramic view of Jinhai Island. I just hope that the boat can go faster and arrive at Jinwei Island as soon as possible.
Zuotang Guihan had a cold face. He was not excited about entering Lin Fu's territory. Yuan Jianhai naturally felt a little more excited when he thought that he could no longer take a boat and suffer from seasickness. They took a boat to go north.
On the way, they encountered a fleet of grain transporters from Jinhai heading south to Shandong Denglai. They did not expect that the imperial court could organize so many ships to transport grain in Jinhai at this time. There were almost seventy or eighty ships in the fleet.
Knowing that they were people from Prince Lu's Mansion heading north to Beijing, they sent two boatmen to guide them. Only then did they know some of the situation in Jinhai.
After crossing Jinwei Island and arriving at Jinhai, Yuan Jianhai discovered that the mouth of the vortex was many times more lively than imagined.
The mouth of the Wushui River was blocked by a temporary river dam. In order to make the dam construction more convenient and fast, Lin Fu directly filled four flat-bottomed sea boats loaded with sand and gravel into the river mouth. Yuan Jianhai and Yuan Yan were the first to see it.
What stands out are the eight lonely but unique ship masts erected from the middle of the dam.
For Yuan Yan, after leaving Yangxin, she finally encountered a lively place, as if she breathed a sigh of relief, and the depressed emotions along the way suddenly let go.
There are busy figures of laborers and migrant workers everywhere inside and outside the seawall. A large promontory protrudes from the southeast of Wuokou Village, which separates the beach at the mouth of the Wuoshui River from the coast to the north, forming a natural building in the north.
A sheltered bay. A hundred years ago, when the canal was opened, Wokou was chosen as the transfer station because of the geographical conditions here. A hundred years have passed, but the geographical conditions have not changed much. After a little renovation, Langgang was built, and the amount of work was relatively small.
In terms of opening up river channels and consolidating straight channels, it is much less.
However, the inland river terminal in Zhainan is too small and can only berth five or six small and medium-sized inland river vessels at one time. In addition to limiting the river channel, the transfer capacity of the Wushui River is also directly related to the loading and unloading capacity of the terminal. It must reach two
With the ability to load and unload ten tankers at the same time, the inland river terminal must be widened to at least 300 steps wide.
In order to save construction time, while Wokou was digging kilns to bake bricks, more bricks and stones were directly dismantled and transported from surrounding villages.
On the south bank of the river branch entrance is the camp of Jiangdong Zuoying and laborers. It occupies a large area. Next to the river branch entrance, there is a fort-style building that has just revealed its embryonic shape. On the north bank, the Wokou Village was renovated into Tianjin.
With Haicang as the core, it is planned to build the Tianjin-Haidu Water Transport Department Office, two military fortresses and a fortress wall to defend Jinhaicang. The Hejian Prefecture and Jinhai County offices will also be moved here. There is no extra financial resources.
, manpower and material resources were used to clean up the crippled Hejian County and Jinhai County. Besides, Lin Xuwen held multiple positions and could not handle official duties in multiple places.
In addition, the Jinhai Salt Iron Company and the salt field system were completely crippled. Except for the quick-footed officials, the officials were killed, surrendered, or rebelled. Not a single salt worker or salt householder was left behind. The imperial court also intended to rebuild Jinhai Salt here.
Tiesi Yamen.
The combination of many factors has made Wukou a distribution center for returning refugees, with abnormal prosperity that was unusual in the autumn of troubled times. Although refugees were constantly evacuated inland along the Wushui River, the refugee group regrouped at the river branch quickly.
The number of people reached tens of thousands. To the north of Wuokou Village, there was a large rolling tent, which could not be seen at a glance. Yuan Jianhai, Zuo Tanggui and others also saw it and wondered: I have never heard that Jinhai except Jiangdong Zuojun
,Besides the Jinzhong Army, are there other garrisons?
Yuan Jianhai, unknown to Zuo Tanggui, Hao Zongcheng led 20,000 Jibei troops (including more than 10,000 horses) to move to Jinhai on March 6 to solve the military food problem nearby, so that he could at least provide food for the capital every month.
Alleviating the pressure on the supply of 40,000 stone grain and 300,000 forage.
Taking into account the pressure on Jinhai's grain consumption, the Ministry of Revenue sent another member of the fifth grade to supervise the Jinhai warehouse to replace the former supervisor of Jinhai warehouse, Zhang Wenden, to balance the relationship between the Ministry of Revenue and Lin Xuwen and Lin Fu.
At this time, more and more people knew that this small area at the mouth of the Jinhai vortex had actually become the throat, neck, and lifeblood of Gyeonggi and the Dai Viet Dynasty; otherwise, important ministers like Tang Haoxin would not have been able to survive for hundreds of years after the war.
The critical juncture of waste and prosperity has always been in Jinhai.
*************
Royal title and meritorious title are two different systems. After the title of prince, the title of county king is the title of general of the country, general of the auxiliary country, etc. According to the law, when King Lu dies, the successor needs to reduce one level to inherit the title.
Yuan Jianhai was already granted the title of General of the State, and was not eligible to be granted the title of Prince of the County.
The palace sympathized with the plight of King Lu's family, and thought that Yuan Jianhai had made great contributions to the fight against the enemy in Yangxin, so he issued an edict to send Yuan Jianhai to Beijing to receive the title of Duke.
Lin Fu stood behind Tang Haoxin, Hao Zongcheng, Lin Xuwen and others. Behind him were Liu Zhi, Ma Yigong, Yang Yihang, Zhang Wendeng, Chen Jintang and other civil and military officials.
Although Tang Haoxin and Hao Zongcheng had much more authority than Yuan Jianhai, they still stood on the seawall to welcome Yuan Jianhai as he sailed to the port according to the rules.
,welcome.
Yuan Jianhai suffered from severe seasickness and was in low spirits. After talking at the port, he was surrounded by people and walked into the Jinhai Cangyamen. A dust-cleaning banquet was prepared for Yuan Jianhai. Even if he had a headache again, he had to hold on.
Participating could not discredit everyone. The young princess Yuan Yan went to the wing to rest, attended by her mother-in-law and maids.
Lin Fu's thoughts were not on Yuan Jianhai. Hao Zongcheng led his army to Jinhai. In addition to being close to Jinhai Port to facilitate military food, he also had the intention of suppressing and containing Jiangdong Zuoying. Lin Fu's thoughts were not on Hao Zongcheng, at least he
It is very neat and tidy to work with Jiangdong Zuoying for the court. If the court wants to get rid of the trouble, it naturally has to wait until the current difficulties are over.
In early March, the DPRK approved the petitions of Li Zhuo and Yue Lengqiu at the same time.
Li Zhuo was promoted to the post of Shangshu of the Ministry of War, requiring Li Zhuo to go to Beijing immediately after receiving the order to discuss the plan to pacify the captives; Cheng Yuqian was promoted to take over the post of Shangshu of the Ministry of War and Jiangning garrison; in addition to Yue Lengqiu's post as Governor-General of Eastern Fujian, his powers were delegated to Eastern Fujian
The Xuanfu Envoy Department, the Admiral's Mansion, and the Inspection Envoy Department granted Yue Lengqiu the title of Shangshu of the Ministry of War and concurrently served as the governor of Jianghuai. He controlled military and political affairs in Jiangdong and Jiangning. He led his troops to the north and took charge of the affairs against the invaders. Gu Wuchen was promoted from the second rank to Guanglu.
The doctor serves as the inspector general of Jiangdong and supervises the Jiangdong township army, under the control of Yue Lengqiu.
Even if Jiangning's status as a resident of Beijing is not taken into account, in a normal year, the fixed amount of Cao Cao under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Household Affairs in Eastern Fujian is only 300,000 shi, and the fixed amount of Cao Cao available for local governments is 400,000 shi.
The fixed amount of canal under the jurisdiction of the Ministry is 2.4 million shi, and the fixed amount of canal available for local governments is 1.6 million shi. From these two sets of data alone, we can see how big the real power gap between the governor of Eastern Fujian and the governor of Jianghuai is.
.
Over the past two hundred years, there have been many major and minor disturbances in Jiangdong County, but the post of Governor of Jianghuai has never been established. The appointment of Governor of Jianghuai at this time and letting Yue Lengqiu occupy this position was not just for suppression.
The Donghai bandits and the Hongzepu bandits. Lin Fu could see that even though the imperial court never mentioned the matter of moving the capital, in fact, the governor of Jianghuai was appointed to strengthen the centralization of power over Jiangdong County and Jiangning Prefecture in order to prepare for the move of the capital.
In terms of seniority, Cheng Yuqian is qualified to serve as Jiangning's Minister of War and Jiangning's garrison. However, during the battle with King Qin, Cheng Yuqian was greedy for life and afraid of death, and was timid of the enemy and war. He first marched to Linqing, hesitated to advance, and then retreated to chatting, and then
Retreating to Jining. The enemy soldiers took one step forward, and he retreated two steps. It was not until the main force of the southern front of the Eastern Imperial Army set fire to Jinan City that they retreated to the north of the Yellow River. Only then did he lead Jiangdong Qin Wang's Division to slowly follow Yue Lengqiu's butt to "recover"
Jinan.
When Cheng Yuqian was promoted, it was probably considered that he would be weak enough to compete with Yue Lengqiu and take full power in Jiangdong. However, it was not that there were no checks and balances on Yue Lengqiu within the Chu Party.
On the surface, Gu Wuchen did not receive any substantial promotion, but the words "concurrently supervising the rural army" were very critical and necessary, which made it impossible for Yue Lengqiu to bypass Gu Wuchen and directly command the rural army and camp in Jiangdong County.
Several troops with strong combat capabilities in Jiangdong County at this time, including Jiangdong Zuoying, Dongyang Xiangyong and Weiyang Xiangyong who were controlled by Dong Yuan, were all rural troops.
Even with his eyes closed, Lin Fu could imagine that this was the favorable condition that Tang Haoxin obtained for Gu Wuchen. After all, Gu Wuchen was not qualified to directly serve as the governor of Jianghuai.
Lin Fu really wanted to go to Beijing to meet Li Zhuo, but as a leading civil servant, even though he was only more than two hundred miles away from the capital, he was not allowed to enter the capital without permission. It was taboo to even send a private messenger to the capital. Of course,
At the end of the dynasty, there were not so many scruples and taboos. It would be too dazzling if Lin Fu went directly to Beijing without listening to the propaganda.
Lin Fu was in a depressed mood. He drank some wine at the banquet and was slightly tipsy. He said goodbye and left the Jinhaicang Yamen. Surrounded by his guards, he returned to the south bank to camp. Lin Mengde was waiting for him in front of the camp gate, helped him lead the horse, and said
"Mr. Gao Zongting and Captain Geng Quanshan are here. They are waiting for your return in the camp..."
