Song Jia accompanied his father in the corner pavilion to talk about what he had seen and heard in Huaidong in the past few years. He wanted to fundamentally dispel his father's concerns. The rise of Huaidong was not a fluke. Song Bo went out for a while, then came back with a pile of pond copies, and walked
Said: "Another strange thing happened in the north and it was related to the East China Sea Fox!"
The expression on Song Bo's face was more strange than surprised. Song Jia turned around and looked over. During this period, she spent most of her time at sea. Official letters such as Tang copy had to be copied through Mingzhou, so the information lagged behind a lot. Zhejiang and Fujian
There are secret agents in Jiangning. It is much faster to send the news back than to copy it from Mingzhou. I wonder what will happen in Huaidong.
"The red-coated lady is going to marry Lin Fu as a concubine, and Emperor Yongxing may give an order to marry her!" Song Bo handed over a copy of the letter, which contained the latest information collected by spies from Jiangning.
Song Jia was slightly startled. She didn't expect that a joke back then would become a reality today. She thought it was normal. This was also the best shortcut to solve the problems left by the Huaiyang Army. She just thought that when she left Xuzhou, there was no sign of this matter.
I wonder who pierced the window paper?
Gao Zongting? Ye Junan?
It didn't seem like it, and Song Jia never imagined that it was Liu Miaozhen who suggested it.
Song Fu just sighed deeply. Traffickers and foot soldiers may pay attention to trivial matters such as men having sex with women, but what he saw from this incident was much more profound - a man having a group of wives and concubines is not enough to become a man in this world.
Give others the problem of calculus.
Even Song Fu doesn't care how his daughter is getting along in Huaidong. Even if his other daughter marries She Feihu, it will become insignificant in the face of family interests - he cares more about the red-coated daughter.
The meaning behind marrying Lin Fu as a concubine.
After Liu An'er was killed by Chen Hansan, the hundreds of thousands of Huaisi's refugee army were dominated by the red-coated women. Later, they were recruited and organized into Huaiyang Town. Although Huaiyang Town was controlled by Huaidong, it was still headed by Liu Miaozhen
Independent troops.
Liu Miaozhen marrying Lin Fu as his concubine means that Huaiyang Town will be completely integrated into Huaidong. In addition, with the hundreds of thousands of refugee army soldiers and families who were laid off and resettled in the Huaisi area, Lin Fu can truly consolidate his control over Xu.
Control of the Si area.
Although Liu Miaozhen was promised to Lin Fu as a concubine, her identity and status were special. As a general with 30,000 elites, she could not just marry someone else as a concubine. She had to at least formally resign from the general position to the court first.
After meeting this matter, it is not impossible that Emperor Yongxing personally decreed the marriage. On the other hand, Jiang Ning would not have failed to see the consequences of Liu Miaozhen marrying Lin Fu as his concubine. If he did not stop it, it would not be because he did not want to
, but the situation makes it impossible. This is probably a direct result of the She family's troops being unstoppable in southern Jiangxi, right?
"Jia'er hasn't played chess with my father for a long time. You don't live in Quanzhou, so why don't you play chess with your father?" Song Fu's voice revealed a hint of desolation.
"Okay..." Song Jia responded. Even if it was the general trend, he knew that his father would defect to Shewenzhuang, and it would be extremely difficult and painful for him to make the decision to defect to Huaidong.
There was no one else to ask, so Song Bo went to get the chess box in person, and he didn't feel how cold the wind was in the garden. Song Fu opened the chess box in silence, picked up a few chess pieces one by one, held them in his hands, and asked his wife.
Son: "What kind of commitment does Huaidong need from the Song family?"
Song Bo said: "Should I tell my uncle to my fourth uncle?"
"The world is in ruins, and no one can be alone. Huaidong cannot tolerate the Song family sitting on the wall and watching. What other good choices are there?" Song Fu sighed, "Maybe after next autumn, Huaidong will organize soldiers and horses to directly
After landing in eastern Fujian, the She family still has the option of retreating to the Min River, so what choice does the Song family have?"
Two hundred years ago, the Eight Surnames entered Fujian along the Min River. Along the Min River, there were places such as Pucheng, Shaowu, Jian'an, and Jin'an. The Eight Surnames had particularly deep roots in these places. There were almost all prominent figures in these places.
, all come from the eight surname clans.
Jian'an Mansion, located in the middle reaches of the Min River, is also the most important river valley plain in the hinterland of East Fujian in addition to the coastal plain. It was once the seat of the governor-general's palace and county officials in East Fujian, and was once regarded as the center of East Fujian.
Huaidong soldiers and horses landed directly from the east coast of Fujian. It was inevitable that the Eight Surnames forces would be severely hit. Coastal prefectures and counties such as Jin'an, Quanzhou, Xiapu, Zhangzhou, and Jieyang had land routes blocked by steep hills and mountains, forming a series of opposites.
Independent plot of land.
The Zhejiang and Fujian armies still have 40,000 elite troops in eastern Fujian. The total number seems considerable, but they are dispersed to defend coastal prefectures and counties, diluting the thousands-long coastline, and the defenders in various places are relatively limited. Even in Jin'an City
There were only more than 15,000 defenders there. According to Song Jia, even if Huaidong organized 20,000 troops to attack Xiapu at this time, the She family would be overwhelmed and exhausted.
If they do not want Huaidong soldiers and horses to land in large numbers and then easily separate them and defeat them one by one, the She family must have the determination to survive - abandon the coastal prefectures and counties, gather the soldiers and horses to retreat to Jian'an Prefecture, and seal the Minjiang River channel.
It can still survive in the valley plains of the middle reaches of the Minjiang River and in the newly developed lands in southern Jiangxi.
The Song family can abandon Quanzhou and retreat westward with the She family, but how many people will choose to take the increasingly narrow road with no hope, unless the She family can capture Jiangzhou before autumn and start from the upper reaches of the Yangtze River
, directly posing a threat to Jiangning - but what is the probability that the She family will capture Jiangzhou before autumn?
Yanhu has adopted a strategy of stabilization on the front lines in Shandong and Henan. Huaidong's defense on the Xuzhou front will be relatively stable. The Huaiyang army will be fully integrated into Huaidong, so that Huaidong will be able to organize a large army by the end of the autumn.
When troops and horses land in eastern Fujian to fight, they may attack Dongyang County first.
As long as this was confirmed, Song Fu had to make a choice if he didn't want to give up Quanzhou and follow the She family to retreat westward, or if he didn't want to surrender to Huaidong as a sinner.
Song Jia secretly sighed in her heart. Maybe her father had thought that Huaiyang Town would be a hidden danger in Huaidong that was difficult to control, but it actually came to this point. Liu Miaozhen married Lin Fu as his concubine. Although the news came, it felt unexpected, but after thinking about it carefully,
Everything falls into place and everything falls into place.
As a woman, Song Jia felt sour in her heart when she thought about the possibility of Liu Miaozhen giving a decree to Emperor Yongxing to marry him again. She just straightened her wind-blown hair in front of her forehead and said, "Quanzhou and Yizhou are separated by the sea.
Looking at each other, they also divided eastern Fujian into north and south. The Song family saved Quanzhou, which was a great achievement. In addition, Huaidong intended to help the Zhen family in their attempt to seize the throne of Goryeo. In addition to inviting the Dongzhou, Danluo and Kyushu Island Saga clan, the Jinxiang clan
In addition to sending troops to participate in the war, the Jeju Camping Army has also recently increased its troops to twenty-five battalions to contain Goryeo's troops from the west coast. The children of the Song family are vying for fame and can join the Jeju Army..."
Hand ~ hit
Joining the Jeju Camping Army to use troops against the Goryeo Kingdom. Unexpectedly, the news leaked out across the vast sea and gave the She family a handle. However, the Song family has been sending their children to join the Jeju Army, which naturally blocked the retreat of Chao Qin and Mu Chu. Once the Song family
Making the decision to invest in Huaidong is indeed the best commitment and the best choice for the Song family.
In the back garden of the Governor's Mansion of Zhejiang and Fujian in Jin'an City, Shewenzhuang frowned deeply when he heard the spies reporting the anomalies in Quanzhou City in the past few days - although it was not certain that the Song family had colluded with Huaidong, but in Jin
On several passages leading to Quanzhou, the Song family replaced their direct descendants to lead the troops to guard the key passes. In Quanzhou City, they also replaced the generals who were close to them, and the situation became increasingly clear.
"Song Fu, this evil tiger, will eventually come back and bite us. If we don't deal with it now, there will be no chance again in the future?" She Feihu said viciously. He had his military power taken away and lost his ability to stand alone.
Given the opportunity, he naturally followed him back to Jin'an. At this time, he no longer had any respect for Song Fu, even though his two wives were Song Fu's daughters.
She Wenzhuang raised his head, closed his eyes tightly, and said with a painful expression: "There is no chance anymore. The most important thing right now is that we must not let the news of the Song family's secret defection to Huaidong leak out. We must calm down!"
Although the Song family only has four to five thousand soldiers and horses in Quanzhou, Huaidong's water camp and infantry on Yizhou Island will total 20,000. If the Song family and Huaidong have formed a secret discussion, once the war in Quanzhou begins, Huaidong will
It only takes two days to mobilize troops from Yizhou Island to Quanzhou for support.
Who is sure that they can take down Quanzhou City in such a short period of time?
Although the Zhejiang and Fujian armies have just captured Yuzhang, Ganzhou and Yiyang in the hinterland of southern Jiangxi have not yet been captured. At this time, in Quanzhou and Jin'an, there is a big fight, and Huaidong is likely to use troops against Dongyang County at the same time - such a disaster
Even with She Wenzhuang’s ability, he didn’t have the courage to face the situation!
With the She family's currently stretched financial resources, it is barely enough to maintain the front-line troops. Unless a miracle happens, the third-line troops will inevitably collapse.
"You can't let a young person succeed?" She Feihu refused to accept defeat and refused to accept defeat.
"Huaidong has drawn a path to drive away tigers and devour wolves. We can only go down this path, otherwise what can we do?" There was uncontrollable sadness in Shewenzhuang's voice, "This is the last thing we can grasp.
opportunity.”
It took ten months for the Jianghuai war to subside. Liang Xi died and Dongping City fell. Yanhu troops and horses gradually withdrew back to Jinan. Huaidong's troops in Xusi were resting calmly and did not hastily move south to put pressure on Eastern Fujian.
Signs - Shewenzhuang was naturally sure that Huaidong wanted to use their sword to disrupt the situation on the western front.
The ambition exposed by Huaidong's strategy of driving away tigers and devouring wolves is no longer limited to one of the princes, but instead divides Fujian, Jiangxi, Zhejiang, the two lakes and Huaihe into a chessboard for Huaidong, and a chessboard for Huaidong's troops and horses to the west.
Advance and lay the foundation for conquering the world.
The harder they struggle to survive in southern Gansu, the more favorable the entire situation will be to Huaidong.
She Feihu resolutely clenched his fist and pressed it hard on the table: "Damn it!"
"Right now, we can still fight for half a year to a year. As long as we can pacify southern Gansu in time and quickly, it's too early to say who will win," She Wenzhuang said, "But right now, the counties south of Quanzhou
, it’s time to consider giving up..."
Since Huaidong has the intention of allowing them to advance westward, and does not take the opportunity to collect the troops and resources scattered outside, it will be too late by the time Huaidong massively disembarks from the eastern coast of Fujian - southern Fujian, the southeastern coastal areas of Fujian,
For the She family, it turned out to be an outside line, which is really pitiful when you think about it.
Even if evidence of collusion between the Song family and Huaidong is caught at this time, Shewenzhuang will do everything possible to conceal it - once the news of the Song family's surrender spreads, Huaidong will most likely be under pressure from Jiangning and attack Mindong in advance.
On the other hand, if the news of the Song family's defection to Huaidong spreads, it will seriously affect the morale and determination of the other six surnames. If one or two families are really weak-willed, the entire Zhejiang and Fujian armies will fall apart.
