Gu Siyuan led the cavalry yesterday to escort his sister Xunniang to Chongzhou for her wedding. In addition to Gu Siyuan and Ma Chao, Lin Xulu, Zhao Shuhan and others who were able to escape and were not afraid of the crisis in Chongzhou also came to Chongzhou to watch the ceremony.

Lin Fu was busy patrolling the defenses in Hecheng yesterday, and today he rushed back to Chongzhou. Naturally, he had to hold a banquet at his house to welcome everyone.
The urgent situation diluted the festivities of the wedding, and security was also stepped up on the mountain. The earth-covered brick barrier at the southeastern foot was lined with swords and soldiers, and their armor reflected the sunset light at dusk.
Before the night banquet, Lin Mengde also went up the mountain to join the banquet. Lin Fu and everyone were watching the river sky in the south of the mountain on the ground in front of the Zen Yuan. The wind blew, and a few fallen leaves floated by, falling straight down the cliff and onto the river surface where they had not fallen for a long time.
"If you want to get sick, you must learn from Chongzhou and use strong medicine." Zhao Shuhan was not worried that the East China Sea bandits gathered on the Shengsi Islands would tear through the Jiangdong Left Army's defense line in Chongzhou. He thought in his heart that the general trend of the world was still the same and the safety of the imperial court was still in danger. "I
Today I took a trip to Xisha Island and the mouth of Xishan River. Brother Lin was in Chongzhou to clean up the monastery, inspect the public land, suppress the wealthy families, and help the weak people. These are all strategies for rejuvenation. If all the prefectures and counties can learn from Chongzhou, the refugees will not be harmed and there will be no danger.
With enough resources to raise troops, everyone fights bravely, and a luxurious family, why should the Eastern captives be in danger?"
Although Zhao Shuhan was a great talent, he still imagined that the Dai Viet Dynasty would have a brilliant and wise emperor to bring the crumbling Yuan Dynasty out of trouble.
Lin Fu sighed slightly. Before he returned to Chongzhou, the power of the officials and gentry in Chongzhou had been severely destroyed. He established a Qing monastery in Chongzhou, inspected public land, and suppressed the wealthy families without much resistance. However, other counties
It is difficult for counties to imitate.
Gu Siyuan, Zhao Shuhan, Lin Xulu and others all knew that Lin Fu was busy with defense and military matters, so they left the mountain and returned to their residence after the night banquet.
In front of the window where the moon was shining, Lin Fu sat in front of his desk and browsed the ponds in various places.
Jiangdong Zuojun did not have the conditions to establish a complete intelligence system covering all counties. Lin Fu mainly relied on Tangzhi and Dibao sent from various places to judge the general trend of the world.
It's just that the official newspapers in the Tang Dynasty are full of false boasts and concealed reports. The news coming from the officials in neighboring prefectures and counties is often completely different. It is the norm in the officialdom to report good news but not bad news. In addition, it is the last year of the dynasty, and many officials are also in a predicament from which they cannot extricate themselves.
, became angry and impatient, and the information submitted was naturally not objective and true. There were contradictions everywhere. Almost not one of the ten copies was worthy of complete trust.
It is not a simple matter to compare the false and the true from such contradictory documents and filter out some useful and more credible information - but Song Jia has an extraordinary talent, always filling in for Lin Fu.
Place the most valuable copy at the top, and use a red pen to highlight the areas that are bluffed and concealed.
Lin Fu flipped through several documents, all of which were from Mingzhou and Kuaiji counties in eastern Zhejiang. He raised his head and looked at Song Jia, who was arranging letters in front of the case under the window. The moonlight poured in from the window and shone on Song Jia.
On her cheeks, her complexion looked as greasy as jade, and her figure was elegant and beautiful. Lin Fu put down the pond copy in his hand and asked Song Jia: "Do you think She Fei Xiong gathered troops on the Shengsi Islands to make a big move?"
Is Kou Chongzhou's situation intended to lure the troops from the towns in the eastern Zhejiang counties? It is said that Quan Ciqing, the governor of the two Zhejiang provinces, is cautious by nature, and he is afraid that extravagant Feixiong's plans will come to nothing..."
"To put it nicely, it's prudent." Song Jia turned sideways. Her desk was against the east wall and outside the window, and Lin Fu's desk was in the middle against the north wall. They were four or five steps apart. She looked at her with beautiful eyes under the moon.
Lin Fu smiled sweetly and said, "To put it bluntly, he is timid and fearful - timid people do not dare to take risks easily, but once they are sure that they have an advantage, they will become extremely greedy. And because of power,
Ciqing is timid by nature. If he counterattacks Changguo, he will probably put all his bets on it. Do you think Quan Ciqing is such a person?"
Lin Fu pushed away the Tangchao in front of the case, closed his eyes and thought deeply. He was indeed deeply worried about the situation in eastern Zhejiang. However, judging from the current situation, Chongzhou and the counties in Pingjiang Prefecture could not form a unified front, let alone
Don't talk about affecting military operations in eastern Zhejiang.
Even if She Feixiong intends to show weakness to the enemy, he will definitely make a big move against Chongzhou, so as to lure Quan Ciqing, the governor of Zhejiang Province and Zhejiang Province, into the trap he has set.
Thinking of this, Lin Fu was a little upset. Regardless of whether the Jiangdong Left Army could successfully defeat the invaders outside the country, the East China Sea invaders were very likely to win a major victory in eastern Zhejiang and reverse the balance of military power in eastern Zhejiang. This was not what he wanted to see.
Arrived.
Lin Fu suspected that he had directly sent an official letter to the two Zhejiang admirals' offices to remind them of how useful this matter would be. He stood up and walked to the courtyard, looking at the moonlit laurel trees in the courtyard to weigh the pros and cons. Song Jia looked at the weather.
It's morning and I have to go back to my residence to rest. I just walked over and saw the Seventh Madam and the Sixth Madam walking out of the back house. She bowed and saluted: "Greetings to the Sixth Madam, the Seventh Madam said hello. The Sixth Madam has lost a lot..."
After being reminded by Song Jia, Lin Fu noticed that Shan Rou was much thinner and more haggard than the last time they met.
Gu Yingxiu knew Song Jia's identity. She had similar thoughts to Xiaoman. She couldn't see through this woman, so she was reluctant to stay with Lin Fu with such an unpredictable and charming woman. She just nodded slightly to Song Jia indifferently.
She had something to do with Lin Fu and originally asked Dan Rou to stay with her, but Dan Rou twitched her hand and insisted on leaving the yard with Song Jia first.
"Mrs. Six seems to be much thinner than last time. You have been working hard on the wedding." Lin Fu walked towards the dark and deserted part of the courtyard with his sleeves.
"You act like you're fine," the seventh lady glared at Lin Fu and said angrily, "It's spread all over the mountain and down the mountain, and the sixth lady just knocked over a cup of tea and poured it on you, but you can calmly kill her
I cried and kicked you out. He always clung to you and made you unhappy..."
"Where is this?" Lin Fu held Yingxiu's delicate little hand and said, "If you don't mention it, you will almost forget about it. I was thinking about other things at the time, and maybe my tone was not so good. You
Help me apologize to Madam Six..."
"Oh, I feel like I owe you something by nature," Gu Yingxiu sighed helplessly and said quietly, "If no one had mentioned it, you would have forgotten about it. She is suffering from a serious illness and is haggard.
It's like this. I really can't think about this woman at all. She has died long ago. Xiaoliu is also a pampered person. He is used to living a wealthy life with fine clothes and fine food. Now he wears coarse clothes and gives away his treasure.
I have donated all my private treasures to you to build soldiers and raise the people. Do you think our little girl really has a heart for the world?"
"..." Lin Fu was speechless for a moment.
"I'm going over first. I can't cause anyone to gossip. Can you stay on the mountain these days?" Gu Yingxiu touched Lin Fu's cheek lovingly and said softly, "You can't neglect Xun Niang. She
When a person marries in a foreign land, he feels somewhat uneasy."
"I'm worried that the bandits will invade in large numbers the day after tomorrow..." Lin Fu said with a wry smile. Some situations were beyond his control. There were as many bandit ships in the East China Sea as waterbirds outside Jiangmen Island. Small-scale contact battles have already started around Jiangmen Island.
It forced the Ninghai Zhenshui camp to withdraw from the military stronghold, prompted Han Zai to return to Jiangning for safety, and formally handed over the military and political power of Chongzhou. The Jinghai camp was huddled in Guanyin Beach on the north and south sides of Xisha Island, and Yueer Beach was not dispatched. In fact,
No matter what She Feixiong has against eastern Zhejiang, the war in Chongzhou is imminent and unavoidable. If the war breaks out, he may not even have time to worship.
"Well, you men are always busy with big things," Gu Yingxiu indulged herself in Lin Fu's arms, put her hands around his waist, felt his breath for a while, then resolutely let go and said, "You are busy with your work."
Go ahead with the big thing, you don’t have to worry about anything on the mountain. As for Mrs. Six, if you really abandon her, her body is not perfect, so don’t be reluctant to say a few words of comfort. You have to know that women are really suffering."
Watching Gu Yingxiu's beautiful figure leave, Lin Fu stood under the moon in silence, thinking about the sixth lady Dan Rou.
Among Lin Tingxun's several widows, if we talk about the private collection, the sixth lady who gave birth to Lin Tingxun's young son has the most. This time they came to Chongzhou to bring gold, silver, mother-of-pearl, pearls, jade, a dozen pieces of the finest cloud silk, brocade and other valuables, as well as gold.
He took out every penny of silver, which was equivalent to two to thirty thousand taels of silver.
The relocation of the Xi clan is not something that is popular with the local people. Even if Lin Fu is powerful, it cannot change the local resistance. The widow of the Lin family, headed by the Sixth Lady, donated so much money at once, which not only blocked the local tongue.
, and also forced the local nobles to donate tens of thousands of taels of silver for the construction of the city, which also alleviated the financial pressure here to a certain extent.
Thinking that when he returned to the forest two years ago, Shan Rou regarded him as an enemy, but now he is like this. Women are really the most difficult to figure out in the world. Lin Fu sighed slightly and went back to the back house to rest, that's all.
I can sleep peacefully for a day or two, but once the war breaks out, I don't know how many nights I will have to stay up before I can rest.
Lin Fu could not be quiet when he returned to the back house. Han Zai sent someone to deliver a letter of signing and formally authorized Lin Fu to take charge of the defense affairs of Chongzhou after leaving Chongzhou. The most substantive significance of this letter was to control the military camp.
The power of control was also placed in Lin Fu's hands. If Xiao Baiming did not take the opportunity to leave Chongzhou, he would be transferred to Lin Fu. Lin Fu read the order letter sent by the escort to the room, sat in front of the bed in his clothes and signed an order.
He asked for escort to be sent to Dongya: "I want Ning Zechen to make preparations to lead a sentry infantry into the garrison's stronghold, and inform Wuzhi County that tomorrow I will require the rural soldiers in all villages and forts in Chongzhou to report to the county barracks."
We are ready to be mobilized at any time. Our Jiangdong Left Army will block the river channels on both sides of Xisha Island and fight against all the East China Sea bandits who dare to invade the interior of Chongzhou..."
Lin Fu slept in his room until early in the morning. Before he could go to the church to get married, an urgent news came from Jiangmen: pirate pirates, the majority shareholder, crossed the river mouth and landed in the north of Hecheng. Hecheng Division and Weiyang Salt and Iron Division were in Hecheng.
The two outposts in the north of the city are likely to have been attacked.
Jiangdong Zuojun's beacon fire garrison system extends from the north bank of the Yangtze River to Jiangmen. The Hecheng grassland and the long coastline of Huainan Saltworks to the north are not within the Jiangdong Zuojun's defense range. The Weiyang Salt and Iron Division's salt troops also have two more troops.
There are more than 10,000 people, and fortresses are built along the coast. The number of troops stationed in Hecheng Division alone is as many as 1,000.
Lin Fu turned over and sat up. He didn't have time to put on his armor, so he put on a robe and went down the mountain to Dongya. Cao Zi'ang, Fu Qinghe, Sun Jingtang, Lin Fu and others also gathered in Dongya. If Hecheng Division fell, it would be a big loss.
The shareholder Kou Hai can invade the northeast of Chongzhou along the Yunyan River.
Hecheng Caochang was a beach formed by Chongzhou later, and the overall shape is an irregular triangle. The Hecheng Division is located northwest of Hecheng Caochang, and is actually on a north-south line with Zilang Mountain. Once Hecheng Division is breached, the salt transport will be carried out along the
Four or five miles inland from the river is the territory of Chongzhou, which is far less wide than the sixty or seventy miles from Jiangmen to Zilang Mountain.
