After nightfall, the rain continued continuously, and the flags soaked by the rain were balled up on the pole head, showing no signs of energy. Surrounded by guards, Lin Fu climbed to a high ground by the Jiaolai River and wiped the flags.
I wiped off the sweat on my forehead, raised the raincoat to cover the eaves, and stared at the vast night ahead. Except for a few dim farmhouse lights, there was no life in this deathly silent night. I felt depressed in my heart.
It makes people very uncomfortable.
"This rain won't stop for a while. Should we find a village to rest?" Sun Wenbing followed him one step at a time. The raincoat on him fell to one side, and the leather armor on his body was soaked. He held the torch in his hand.
Kankan was about to breathe, revealing his sallow face that had not recovered from his injuries.
"No, Qingzhou has made remarks that are detrimental to our army. At this time, we must be more careful with our words and actions, and do not enter the village easily." Lin Fu shook his head and said, "Instruct us to go down and camp on the spot. Put up the shelter first."
Take shelter from the rain for your injuries and illnesses, and then continue on your way when the rain dries up."
Standing on the high ground, they couldn't see anything. Lin Fu and Sun Wenbing hurried back, setting up a shelter on the river bank and lighting up the left and right with dozens of torches. There were six or seven fast boats parked near the river bank.
paddle boat.
Large sea-going ships such as Jinhai, Jiyun No. 1 and Jiyun No. 2 can only be anchored at the mouth of the Jiaolai River. Only a few fast-oared warships can sail into the Jiaolai River. In order to accommodate as many soldiers as possible, such fast-oared warships
It is convenient for water surface battles. There are no shelters on the ship. Generally speaking, only short-range battles are used, which is not conducive to long-distance movement and troop projection. However, when Lin Fu entered the Jiaolai River at this time, he could only recruit these few ships, and he followed him
Most of the soldiers of the Jiangdong Zuo Army who were moving along the Jiaolai River to the south to clear up the rebels could only move along the river.
After successfully disarming the 3,000 Qingzhou Army stationed outside Yingkou, Lin Fu led his army to threaten the 3,000 Qingzhou Army and went directly to Changyi for reorganization.
The Qingzhou Army that stayed in Qingzhou was mainly based on the original army, and most of them were local sons. Chen Debiao entered Qingzhou City with the support of two battalions of Jiangdong Left Army. Except for the four to five hundred surrendered Qingzhou Army who escaped from the city, the rest of the Qingzhou Army
They all accepted the takeover of the Admiral's Mansion quite quietly.
The limited force of the Jiangdong Left Army could only be used to stabilize the situation in Changyi, Shouguang, Qingzhou and other cities, without taking into account the countryside. At this time, almost four thousand broken soldiers were rampaging in the countryside of Qingzhou Prefecture.
On the 24th, Zhang Jinxian led 500 Yangxinxiang soldiers into Changyi and took office as the general magistrate of Qingzhou Prefecture. He directly rebuilt the Qingzhou Prefecture army on the basis of 500 Yangxinxiang soldiers.
According to the Dai Viet law system, the prefecture, county, township soldiers, and the prefecture army are controlled by the prefecture generals, forming a power structure in which the prefectures are restricted by the prefectures. In fact, due to the complex local situation, too many restrictions do not utilize local affairs, and it is necessary to control the prefects and other leaders.
The power of officials was strengthened, so that the prefect could also oversee military preparations or serve as inspector of military preparations to control military and political power.
Liu Yefei served as an inspector, acquainted with the Qingzhou Prefecture's army, and as a supervisor of military preparations. Even though his power was not as good as that of a governor, it was far more powerful than the Xuanfu envoys at the same level and the admirals who actually had no military power.
During the Qingzhou military chaos, Liu Yefei had actually been sidelined. At this juncture, Tang Haoxin forced the Shandong Xuanfu Envoy to temporarily transfer Zhang Jinxian to the important task of Qingzhou Prefecture's general judge. In fact, he wanted to use Zhang Jinxian to replace Liu Yefei and control the military and political power of Qingzhou Prefecture.
.
Yang Xin was originally a small county and had an insignificant position in Shandong. Zhang Jinxian was also an insignificant figure in the official circles of the Dayue Dynasty and was not attracted by various factions. If it were not for the glorious victory of Yang Xin's defensive battle, the Western Qin Party in Beijing would have
, the leaders of the Chu Party and other factions did not even know that there were people like Zhang Jinxian and Cheng Weiyuan in Shandong.
The Battle of Yangxin was not only the most glorious victory for the Jiangdong Left Army, but also brought local officials such as Zhang Jinxian and Cheng Weiyuan to prominence and became famous far and wide. However, the central capital was worried about the food shortage, and the military and personnel departments inevitably made slow progress in reporting their achievements.
Moreover, the Shandong County Division has been newly established, and everything is in a mess. The promotion and rewards for Zhang Jinxian, Cheng Weiyuan and others have not yet been decided.
However, Liu Yefei could not escape the blame for the military chaos in Qingzhou. Tang Haoxin prompted the Shandong Xuanfu Envoy and the Admiral to urgently transfer Zhang Jinxian to serve as the general magistrate of Qingzhou Prefecture to control the Qingzhou Army and temporarily take charge of Qingzhou Prefecture affairs. No one could blame him.
On the night of the 22nd, Tang Haoxin, Chen Debiao, and Ge Zufang jointly drafted the memorial. In fact, it was Chen Debiao, Ge Zufang, and Tang Haoxin drafted it. It recounted the rebellion of the Qingzhou army, participated in Liu Yefei's recruitment and surrender, and allowed the army to surrender.
Because of the chaos, Zouben Babaili rushed to Beijing.
Although Beijing and China could not reach a resolution on the mutiny incident of the Qingzhou Army in a short period of time, in order to prevent the situation in Shandong from deteriorating, the reply to the imperial edict sent urgently by Babaili on the 24th also recognized Tang Haoxin and others' response to the Qingzhou Army's mutiny.
The competent handling of mutiny matters.
On the 24th, an edict was issued. Tang Haoxin was first appointed as the ambassador of Xuanfu. With the title of Prince Shaobao, he patrolled Shandong counties on behalf of the emperor, controlled Shandong counties, Sifu counties and Jinhai, and Qingzhou canal transport affairs. He appointed Zhang Jinxian.
He served as the general magistrate of Qingzhou Prefecture and the inspector of Shandong County, Qingzhou Bingbei Qianshi, and appointed Du Juefu as the counselor of the Xuanfu Envoy Department, responsible for Qingzhou's water transport affairs. Chen Debiao and Ge Zufang were both in their original positions, and they were guilty of meritorious service. Liu Yefei was dismissed from his post to investigate.
Lin Fu walked into the tent, took the bowl of hot ginger soup handed to him by Sun Wenwan, took off the raincoat, and didn't mind the rain soaking through his clothes and armor, and warmed himself around the fire while reading the official letter from Changyi.
Although it was already the end of March, the clothes and armor on his body were soaked, and it was still very cold. After being heated by the bonfire, white steam started to rise after a while, and he felt comfortable all over. Lin Fu put down the official letter in his hand and asked Liu Zhenzhi to give it to the general.
They all lit several fires. Seeing that Sun Wenbing was not recovering from his illness, they asked him to take a rest.
The successful suppression of the Qingzhou Army mutiny can be said to be Tang Haoxin's great victory.
In this situation, no matter how reluctant Zhang Xie was, he could only abandon his troops to save his chariot in Beijing, which made the rift between him and Tang Haoxin less glaring.
Tang Haoxin used the title of Prince Shaobao to patrol Shandong County on behalf of the emperor. Although he did not have the official title of governor, it was not far behind.
Tang Hao
All these matters were attributed to Tang Haoxin.
Lin Fu stared at the bonfire in a trance. The wind blew out the fire and detected sparks falling on his robe without paying attention. Sun Wenwan could see clearly next to him and hurriedly patted out the sparks on his robe.
"Ah!" Only then did Lin Fu notice that there were several holes burned in the official robe. He moved the tree pillar back and looked up to see Sun Wen Wanying's beautiful face as white as jade illuminated by the firelight. Even though she was wearing a scholar's robe, she looked pretty.
Touching asked with a smile: "Now that the mutiny of the Qingzhou Army has been almost suppressed, do you think this has more benefits or more disadvantages?"
"How can a little girl have the qualifications to discuss political affairs?" Sun Wenwan saw that Lin Fu's smile was somewhat bitter, and she did not dare to say anything in front of him. She said in a low voice, "Change out of this robe, and I will help you put these few clothes on."
The holes and eyes are embroidered to patch up..."
"Do I have to pardon you first before you dare to speak?" Lin Fu laughed and kicked a tree stump next to Sun Wenwan, asking her to sit down. He could only hide many things in his heart.
If Sun Wenwan has a strict mouth, there is no harm in chatting with her. Thinking like this, I especially miss Xiaoman and Liu Yuer. If they are around, they can at least sleep peacefully every night.
Sun Wenwan had to pretend to be a man in the army, so she was very cautious in front of Lin Fu. However, she could not pretend to be a man, and showed a lot of girlish behavior. She first drew back her breastplate, and sat down carefully as if she would grab her skirt first when sitting down with a little girl.
He stood down, looked at Lin Fu who was staring at the fire, and whispered: "I said nonsense, suppressing the rebellion of the Qingzhou Army will do many harms!"
"Oh!" Lin Fu glanced at Sun Wenwan unexpectedly. After suppressing the mutiny of the Qingzhou Army, it was Cao Ziang, Lin Mengde and others who were very excited. They did not expect that she would think so, and said, "Say."
"The Chu party in the DPRK has evolved into the dispute between Tang, Gu, Zhang and Yue. It is a disadvantage. Of course, Zhang and Yue are aggressive and it will not work without a fierce counterattack. But to the extent of causing a mutiny by the Qingzhou army, it is a little too much.
." Sun Wenwan didn't dare to speak nonsense, and carefully looked at Lin Fu's face while talking.
Lin Fu remained calm and stared at the bonfire.
Even if someone couldn't figure it out at first, they would probably know that Tang Haoxin was behind the Qingzhou Army's mutiny. After all, they captured many Qingzhou rebels in the end, and a little interrogation would reveal the details. Although the blame will be placed on Liu Yefei's head
Yes, but Lin Fu and others knew it well. Sun Wenwan had stayed with Lin Fu to take care of him these days, so it was easy to know these things.
"Zhang Xie was apparently forced to abandon his car to protect his commander, and delegated all power in Shandong to Tang Shaobao. How could he not know that Zhang Xie was using retreat to advance?" Sun Wenwan added.
"Alas!" Lin Fu sighed and stood up without letting Sun Wenwan speak any more.
Although Tang Haoxin's methods were sophisticated, they were still limited to party struggles, too limited to the struggle for power. He took full control of the political power of the Shandong County Army, which seemed to be a great victory in the party struggle after stimulating the mutiny of the Qingzhou Army. However, at this time, Shandong County was
An extremely rotten mess.
Zhang Xie just used retreat as an opportunity to advance, and smashed Shandong's worst mess into Tang Haoxin's hands to see what he could do.
In addition to opening a temporary waterway in the central part of the Shandong Peninsula, Shandong County also has several very urgent matters to do: first, strengthen the Dengzhou Marine Division to cooperate with Li Zhuo's Pinglu Ce three-way layout concept;
The breach of the Yellow River needs to be blocked and the Cao Canal Road in Jinan and Pingyuan Prefectures needs to be restored. First, Jinan Prefecture and all counties in Pingyuan Prefecture need to be rebuilt. More than two million refugees need to be appeased. In addition, nearly 60,000 town troops have been completely disabled.
Needs to be rebuilt…
Each task requires the use of a large amount of resources. If one of these things cannot be done or is not done well, the situation in Shandong cannot be considered stable.
Zhang Xie controls the Household Department and controls most of Dai Viet Dynasty's financial resources. If Shandong County is controlled by Zhang Xie's people, Zhang Xie will naturally favor Shandong County in the allocation of financial resources of Dai Viet Dynasty. These things are still
It is possible. But at this time, Zhang Xie has left all the mess in Shandong County to Tang Haoxin, and Shandong County will only become a victim of the party struggle between Tang Gu and Zhang Yue.
Shandong is a strategic link connecting the Yangtze River and Huaihe River, the hinterland of the Central Plains and Yanji. If the situation in Shandong is unstable, if Shandong completely falls into the victim of the party and government, what can the Central Plains do to resist the eager Eastern invaders? Li Zhuo's five-year ambition to pacify the invaders
Why should it be realized?
Lin Fu made various arrangements, even conceding to Liu Yefei. He did not intend to completely overthrow Liu Yefei at once. He just wanted to strive for a situation that was most beneficial to the Jiangdong Left Army in an unfavorable situation. He did not want the situation in Shandong County to change.
The situation deteriorated beyond control.
As long as the situation in Shandong can be temporarily stabilized, Lin Fu can safely return to Jiangdong to attack the She family and have enough time to attack the She family. However, the Qingzhou army mutinied and Tang Haoxin directly beat Liu Yefei to nothing.
Disrupt his original idea.
To live in this world one needs to be brave and fearless, but Tang Haoxin can only be regarded as a traitor. ,!
