(Third update, asking for red tickets; tomorrow is Christmas Eve, I wish my brothers and sisters a safe and happy Christmas Eve!)
Without any notice, the ships stopped unloading and instead replenished fresh water, ordnance and other supplies. Zhou Pu and Ning Zechen led two battalions of soldiers to block the passage between Jinhaicang and Jibei Army Camp, blockaded Jinhai Port, and left Jiangdong.
The battalion mobilized together and assembled on the north bank of the Wishui River. The situation in Jinhai suddenly became tense.
At dusk, the main mast of a 5,000-stone ship anchored next to Wokou Cape raised the scarlet red sign of "Mr. Jinhai County, Chaosan Doctor, Jiangdong Inspector General and Supervisor of Jiangdong Zuoying Township Military Forest".
The big flag was spread out against the sea breeze, announcing that Lin Fu's command tent had been moved from the camp on the south bank of the Wishui River to the five-thousand-stone ship.
Someone tied a rope to a cage and hung it from the left side of the ship. A craftsman stood in the cage and took a large paint pen to write the two bright red characters "Jin Hai" on the side of the ship.
This five-thousand-stone ship was officially named "Jinhai". Anyone with a discerning eye knew that Lin Fu wanted to use "Jinhai" as his command ship.
Before dusk, the 600 soldiers of the First Battalion of Jiangdong Zuoying Township Army had assembled at the dock, and silently and orderly boarded the three ships "Jinhai", "Jiyun 1" and "Jiyun 2" one after another.
This is a heroic army that defeated the Donglu cavalry. Arrows, blades, and armor emitted a cold light, full of murderous intent. People who came to the dock to observe the situation saw groups of armored soldiers walking from the south bank of the Woshui River.
Every time I come, I feel suffocated.
Although Jiangdong Zuoying Township Army had sent people to post notices to appease the people and informed all the yamen that everything in front of them was an emergency drill, except for the second battalion, the soldiers of the fourth battalion directly blocked the Jibei Army and Tianjin.
Outside the passage between Haicang, the only remaining cavalry battalion of the Zuoying Township Army in Jiangdong was also dispersed, covered up, and under martial law. The passage in and out of Jinhaicang and the Jinhai Port pier inevitably made people feel anxious and uneasy.
The "Jinhai" is more than twenty feet long and four feet wide. Above the bottom cabin is a solid combat deck, surrounded by chest-high thick wooden parapets of cooked cowhide. On the deck are five ships of different heights.
Outside the mast, four bed crossbows are also fixed at both ends of the front side of the deck. In addition, there is a three-story stern cabin extending out from the stern, and the top deck of the stern cabin is two rock-throwing machines that use torsion.
Scorpion Crossbow.
In the tail cabin of the Jinhai, Lin Fu, wearing a cyan armor and a crimson official robe, sat opposite Tang Haoxin, Lin Xuwen and others.
A soft couch was brought up next to him, and Sun Wenbing, who had regained consciousness, lay weakly on the soft couch and told Tang Haoxin, Lin Xuwen and others the details of the events before and after the Changyi Mutiny.
Lin Fu pressed his hands on the table, his knuckles turned white from the pressure. After Sun Wenbing finished recounting his details, he said in a high-pitched voice: "I will lead the left army from Jiangdong to the north to King Qin, and Xihe will provide me with logistical support. Everyone in the world knows it."
Yes! Sun Wenbing was Lin Mengde's deputy and the deputy general of the Jiangdong Zuo Military Industry Camp. He made outstanding contributions. In my memorials to the Central Committee and in my letters to the Ministry of War, I asked for rewards from the Xihe Society. Everyone in the world knows that - the water boat is here
The Shandong County was responsible for the congestion of the Jiao Lai River, and the responsibility for the obstruction of the river lies with the Shandong County. However, the grain inspector killed more than 70 members of the Xihe Society and other members of the Jiangning River Society without asking questions. This was considered unauthorized killing and indiscriminate killing.
.It is understandable that the congregation rebelled because of this. Sun Jingxuan and other He gang members calmed down the matter and appeased the congregation, and they were not guilty and had merit. However, the Shandong county magistrate did not appease him or reward him. Instead, he falsely accused him of treason and gathered troops to arrest him.
What is this? Ignoring the fact that Sun Jingxuan calmed down the matter and appeased the congregation, and Kou Yi tortured him for questioning. What is this? Without an official letter of questioning, he directly sent troops to seize the general of our Jiangdong Left Army. What is this?
From the beginning to the end, it is a conspiracy against the Xihe Society, a conspiracy against our Jiangdong Left Army, and a conspiracy against Mr. Gu and Tang Shaobao!"
Any conspiracy here is all speculation and cannot be verified. Lin Fu insisted that this was a conspiracy against this side from the beginning, and he just wanted to gain a moral advantage.
"When something like this happens, you should first discuss it with me and Tang Shaobao," Lin Xuwen frowned slightly, feeling that the matter was very difficult, and said, "The commotion is getting a bit big now, and the aftermath will be troublesome..."
"I don't dare to delay," Lin Fu said heartbrokenly, "I'm afraid that if I delay for a moment, Shandong will do something cruel! They can definitely do it!"
Lin Xuwen thought that there must be a huge conspiracy deliberately targeting this side. Those extremely bold and ruthless people might be the first to treat Sun Jingxuan and others as rebels and execute them on the spot. He hesitated and asked: "What's the next step?
What’s the safest way to go?”
Tang Hao
The determined one will take care of everything this time for Xihe.
Tang Haoxin didn't expect that they had just decided on the marriage between Lin Fu and Xun Niang, and that such an incident would happen to Xihe Club.
Tang Haoxin paid little attention to the Xihe Meeting.
There are sixteen river gangs in Giang Ninh and nearly fifty river gangs of various factions in Jiangdong County, and the Xi Ha Society is just one of them. In the entire political map of the Dai Viet Dynasty, the Xi Ha Society is an insignificant force, and it has gathered...
Mud-legged guy. Even if this is a conspiracy instigated by Zhang Xie, Yue Lengqiu and others, from Tang Haoxin's point of view, it is not worth openly falling out with Zhang, Yue and others for Xihe Society.
If Lin Fu had not taken such a tough stance directly, Tang Haoxin would have advised him to endure his anger and think of other ways to win over people. I think Lin Xuwen would also have the same attitude, but Lin Fu had already taken a stance of not giving in, and Jiang Dong
Thousands of elite troops from the Zuoying camp have gathered on the north bank of the Wushui River. Tang Haoxin and Lin Xuwen are not in a position to persuade him anymore. Instead, based on this tough stance, they must resolve everything as completely as possible without leaving any future troubles.
good.
"You have assembled the entire Jiangdong Zuoying army. What are you going to do next?" Tang Haoxin asked Lin Fu in a hoarse voice. "It is not a good practice for the entire army to go to a different place without any announcement." He did not emphasize what he said.
, I still hope that the matter can be resolved in a more gentle way or channel. There is no need to make such a bad start just to protect a small gang.
"I am also a headless fly. I couldn't find a tune, so I asked Mr. Tang and my eldest brother to come over and discuss it." Lin Fu said.
The greatest taboo of the Dayue Dynasty was for the generals to rely on favors and indulge themselves, and support their troops with self-respect. Lin Fu led the troops directly to Shandong without authorization. Even if he coerced the Shandong County Secretary to release the people, Lin Fu would at worst get the "relying on favors and coddling, supporting the troops with self-respect"
"The accusation.
Tang Hao
A tricky thing.
Tang Haoxin pondered the salary and said: "I'm going to Shandong. I think my old bones can still be of some use..."
At this time, the guard opened the door and came in to report that Liu Zhi, the deputy envoy of Jinhaiguan Military Rong, was on the shore and asked to get on the boat to see him.
Lin Fu, Lin Xuwen, and Tang Haoxin exchanged glances and ordered the guards to let Liu Zhi get on the boat.
Liu Zhi complained in his heart, but Hao Zongcheng asked him to come here to inquire about the news. He could not refuse, so he had to bite the bullet and come here.
The Jinzhong Army closed its camp and did not come out; the Jiangdong Left Army came out empty camp. From silence to movement, it took less than two hours for the Jiangdong Left Army to complete the preparations for full mobilization. Liu Zhi, who knew a little about military affairs, had to sigh with emotion.
The movements of the Jiangdong Zuo Army were outstanding, and none could be compared to those of the Jibei Army. I couldn't help but think hopelessly: If Lin Fuzhen really wants to lead his troops to cause rebellion, and the 20,000 Jibei Army stays in Jinhai, will it be able to hold on until reinforcements arrive to support it?
Liu Zhi hesitated for a while and decided to leave all the guards on the shore. The deck of the Jinhai was already full of soldiers. If Lin Fuzhen really wanted to detain him, having a dozen more guards or a dozen fewer guards would not make much difference. He was alone.
A man climbed up the "Jinhai" along the rope ladder. He couldn't figure out what Lin Fu wanted to do, but in any case, it would be too bold to gather an army without telling him.
"Why did Liu Guanjun come in such a hurry?" Lin Fu asked people to bring Liu Zhi directly to the stern cabin, ordered an extra low stool for Liu Zhi, and asked him to sit down.
"Lin Duqian and Tang Shaobao are also here," Liu Zhiqiang sat down calmly and said, "The Jiangdong Left Army suddenly blocked Canggang for a drill. I didn't receive any notice before, so I was wondering if I had made a mistake.
What's wrong? What's missing? I came here specifically to ask if I made a mistake or missed something?"
"I also had this idea temporarily. I was about to send someone to tell Mr. Liu and Mr. Hao." Lin Fu raised his lips slightly and showed a stiff smile. "The opening of the canal in Jinhai completely depends on the transportation to Jinhai."
Grain merchants and shipowners organize ship transportation. In order to further ensure the safety of the grain transportation fleet, I want to personally inspect the safety and reliability of the routes around the Bohai Bay before April comes. I cannot delay the grain transportation plan.
This can also be regarded as a type of drill - in the first step, I will directly lead the generals participating in this drill to the Denglai area of Shandong Province!"
"Are you going to Denglai?" The hairs on Liu Zhi's back went up. He didn't know what Lin Fu was doing by sending troops to Denglai. Lin Fu led his troops to Denglai without permission from the Ministry of War. Is this an excuse to use drills?
of?
Lin Fu narrowed his eyes, nodded, and asked, "Liu Guanjun intends to take a boat trip with me to jointly test the results of this exercise?"
"No, no, no, I'm afraid of getting dizzy when riding in a boat, I'm afraid of bumping when riding in a car, and I'm afraid of falling when riding a horse. How can I dare to add a big burden to you?" Liu Zhi refused immediately. He didn't dare to wade into this muddy water even if he had the guts of a leopard.
.
"Master Liu, please report back to Master Hao. This matter is not just a drill," Tang Haoxin sat aside and suddenly said, "Shandong County Secretary and the grain inspector of the Ministry of Revenue in Shandong are suspected of killing the members of the He Gang indiscriminately, which has caused
The members of the He Gang made an uproar, and the Shandong County Sheriff later called in the garrison, and treated the members of the He Gang as rebels and imprisoned them. It is not yet possible to determine who is right, but this matter has seriously affected Haicao and Jinhai Warehousing.
Regarding the food plan, I decided to go to Shandong in person to coordinate the matter. The storms on the sea are unpredictable, and pirates occasionally appear, so I asked Lin Dujian to lead the troops to escort me, but I didn't expect to alert Mr. Liu to come and ask about this matter..." He
To say this was to resolutely give Lin Fu the responsibility of moving without warning and gathering troops south to march into Shandong.
