Chapter 16

(I coded another 8,000 words today, the second update is here, please vote for me)

Yangshan Village is located more than ten miles northwest of Qingzhou City and nearly forty miles away from Shouguang.

com

The terrain of Yangshan is not high, only a few feet high. It is said to be a hill, but in fact it is just a mound standing on the east bank of the Yanghe River. Viewed from the west bank, the earth cliff on the river side of Yangshan is as steep as

It looks very straight and steep, so local people are accustomed to calling it a mountain.

Yangshan Village, which covers an area of ​​only 40 to 50 acres, was built along the mountainside. After the Zhejiang soldiers defeated Yangshan Village and occupied Yangshan Village, they drove the local villagers to the outside of the village wall, and the earth slope about one foot away from the wall was vertically downward.

It was dug more than ten feet deep to form a circular earth platform to protect the village. Standing outside the village, the wall built on the earth and rocks looks very majestic. This is also the place where Yangshan Village is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Officers and soldiers entered the capital twice

Being repulsed, the Yanghe River in the western border of Qingzhou was controlled by this group of village bandits.

In Zhou Pu's opinion, there is nothing particularly difficult to attack in Yangshan Village. The earth and rocks protecting the village look steep. In fact, the rocks on the earth and rocks are very thin and can easily collapse to form a large gap. He and Wu Qi speculated that Liu-

---They didn't come to disturb you, sir." Ma Chao said.

"What should I be disturbed about?" Tang Haoxin said: "It seems like I should go back to my room and take a nap - you go and do something for me, spread some words in the city, say Liu Yefei

If they are dismissed from their posts and questioned, the Qingzhou army that recruited surrendered troops and defeated them will definitely be punished, and those rebel generals and surrendered generals will also be dragged out, liquidated, and severely punished..."

"Oh!" Ma Chao was slightly startled. If such a rumor really worked, wouldn't it prompt the Qingzhou army to support Liu Yefei? He couldn't guess what Tang Hao was thinking in his confidence.

Seeing the doubtful look on Ma Chao's face, Tang Haoxin sighed softly and said: "Liu Yefei can't understand the situation in Jinhai at this time. He is really stupid. Jinhai is actually a stick that Lin Fu holds in his hand.

Lin Fu wanted to use the name of the Qing bandits to continuously use troops in the heart of Qingzhou to increase his strength and frighten the Shandong County Sheriff stationed in Qingzhou from attacking the imprisoned He Gang members. Both sides wanted to

If you don't take a step back, the matter can only wait for Beijing to decide. The day the matter drags on, the day the rope between Tianjin and Hainan will tighten, the day the grain shortage in the capital will tighten, the day the situation will be unfavorable to the Shandong County Sheriff -

--Official letters between Beijing and China cannot be sent back and forth for more than half a month. If the problem cannot be solved in one trip, it will be delayed for a month. If the matter of grain storage in Tianjin and Hainan is interrupted for one day, it will kill you, so how can it be interrupted for one month?

"

"..." Ma Chao remained silent. If the grain storage in Tianjin and Hainan were to be interrupted for a month, there would be great chaos in the capital. Don't look at Lin Fu, who is just a young man from the fifth rank. He only has three to five thousand elite soldiers in his hands. Even if the capital is

If a great chaos breaks out, he will still be able to force the court to bow to him.

"You have watched Lin Fu rise step by step in Jiangning," Tang Haoxin said softly, "Don't look at his youth. Let me ask you, how many people do you think can match his methods - Wu Chen is not as good as me.

Not as good as that!”

"Master, do you think Lin Fu might condone chaos in the capital?" Ma Chao bravely asked, knowing that these words should not have come out of his mouth.

"There is great chaos in the capital, and the imperial court will probably give up Yanjing and temporarily avoid Jiangning - how many people do you think cannot imagine this possibility?" Tang Hao's confidence was depressed. Many things could not be told, and they were all kept to himself.

In his heart, he let out a long sigh and said, "Yue Lengqiu can imagine this change, and Lin Fu can naturally imagine this change. For the Lin clan, they have jumped from a powerful clan on the edge of the imperial capital's power to a capable clan.

How tempting should it be for a big family to influence the government?"

Cold sweat broke out on Ma Chao's back. He did not expect that there was such a big mystery behind this, and said: "No wonder when Lin Fu gathered the entire army in Jinhai, the boss didn't blame him for acting recklessly..."

"Haha," Tang Haoxin smiled bitterly and said, "Not only did I not blame him, I also took the whole matter on myself without hesitation - you have been serving as an army at the frontier for so many years, and you are usually more taciturn than Yang Pu.

I think you know it in your heart - if you spread rumors in the city for me, the current situation is likely to fall into a stalemate. We need to simply add more firewood to burn the fire more vigorously. If such rumors spread, once

One possibility is that the Qingzhou Prefectural Army will unite to support Liu Yefei, and another possibility is that Liu Yefei is not enough to rely on, and the Qingzhou Prefectural Army will first be unable to withstand the pressure and collapse..."

"Want to prompt the Qingzhou Prefecture Army to mutiny?" Ma Chao asked. If the Qingzhou Prefecture Army mutinies, the Shandong County Sheriff will probably ask Lin Fu to lead troops into Qingzhou to quell the rebellion. This will help the matter be resolved as soon as possible. Sir, I'm afraid

A lot of effort was spent on this.

"It's not that simple," Tang Haoxin sighed. "The Qingzhou Prefecture Army has very bad military discipline in the city. You took people out to the streets today. If you see those who have bad military discipline, you will directly take them to the admiral Chen Debiao and ask them to do so."

He punished him severely, now we have to see if Chen Debiao understands people..."

After Lin Fu received the news in Yingkou Town that Zhou Pu led the cavalry battalion to successfully capture Yangshan Village, he sent Zhou Tong to rush back to the mouth of Mihe River, temporarily lead the second battalion in place of Cao Ziang, and led more than 600 soldiers along the east bank of Yang River.

Depart from Yangshanzhai. The mouth of Yanghe River and the mouth of Mihe River are more than ten miles apart, and the two rivers are roughly parallel in Qingzhou Prefecture.

In the early morning light of Qingli, Lin Fu, wearing a crimson official robe over his armor, stood on the deck and looked at the hazy scenery on the far bank. He knew that marching troops into Shandong was a taboo thing. Maybe this was the case.

Once the matter is resolved, the imperial court will directly transfer the Jiangdong Left Army back to Chongzhou, and will not tolerate such a disobedient army staying in Jinhai and beside the capital.

There was a soft sound of footsteps behind him, and Lin Fu turned around. Sun Wenwan, wearing his clothes, still dressed as a man, came over, leaned over and gave Lin Fu a salute.

"It's still early, why don't you rest a little longer?" Lin Fu asked.

In the morning light of Qingli, Sun Wenwan's face was still pale from blood loss, and her lips were like withered rose petals, with no luster. Her injury had only been recuperating for three or four days, and it was far from being fully recovered.

"Wenwan cannot make any promises to you on behalf of my father, but you are my father and will be so devoted to Xihe. Wenwan can decide what promises you will make to you," Sun Wenwan Yingying knelt down on the ground and said, "Even if things are taken care of,

My father is also responsible for the Changyi mutiny. Wen Wan is the daughter of the guilty people and is a slave. I hope you don’t dislike it!"

"If you come to talk to me, then stand up. I'm not used to talking to people kneeling on the ground. We are both exhausted." Lin Fu put his hands behind his back and did not help Sun Wenwan. He asked her to get off the deck by herself.

He got up and said, "Are you really willing that Xihe will take responsibility for the Changyi Mutiny? You have to understand, if I take the initiative to let go, how big the responsibility for the Changyi Mutiny will be in the end, it won't all be on me.

It’s within control.”

"When your Excellency was fighting with the Qu family at the mouth of the river, I, Xihe, would seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, which is unethical. Your Excellency, Wen Wan is already grateful enough to ignore the past grudges. How can I dare to ask for more?" Sun Wenwan stood up, still bowing her head.

Dare to meet Lin Fu.

"There is no need to talk about these things anymore. Just as I will now think more about the left army in Jiangdong, Xihe will seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. It is not worthy of criticism. You will not think that I don't have this tolerance." Lin.

Fu said.

"Thank you for your understanding," Sun Wenwan said. "My father has only worked hard for the Xihe Society all his life. Before he surrendered, he only told me one thing. I must not let the children of the Xihe Society die unjustly. The life and death of the Sun family is a trivial matter... Besides,

You won’t have the heart to cut off the Jinhai water transport and blackmail the imperial court.”

"Oh," Lin Fu stared at Sun Wenwan in surprise and asked with a smile, "How can you be so confident that you think you have seen through me?"

"Your Excellency is not a rigid person, but if the capital is in chaos, it is not the clan, nor the officials, but the millions of unarmed civilians who are in despair and suffering - Your Excellency will not bear to see this situation happen.

"Yes." Sun Wenwan no longer avoided Lin Fu's eyes and said quietly.

"You must know that Tang Shaobao came forward without hesitation to take over the whole matter. He went to Shouguang City alone to interrogate the officials of Shandong County for us. In addition to us having to stand together to fight against Zhang and Yue, in fact he was more

I'm worried that I will be so angry that I will really cut off the grain supply from Tianjin to the sea - judging from the bad things I did in Jiangning, I am someone who would do such a thing," Lin Fu smiled

Ask Sun Wenwan, "Besides, I left Jinhai and made so many arrangements. What makes you see that I am not someone who can do such cruel things?"

"Your Majesty said at the Hekou Bamboo Hall that the mantis was blocking the car with its arms," ​​Sun Wenwan said calmly, "Others don't believe this, but I believe it."

"..." Lin Fu pursed his lips, and after half a minute, he said, "As long as you understand..." Seeing Cao Ziang emerge from the tail cabin, he said, "Get ready, you can stay and take command for me.

Jiangdong Zuojun, I will enter Shouguang in the afternoon, things can't drag on like this." ,!
