"My husband is the seventeenth eldest in the Lin family. Back then he also falsely called the East China Sea Fox a pirate. Miss Liu was the head of the seventeenth village in Hongzepu. What a coincidence..." Xiaoman is nearly four months pregnant, and her belly is slightly swollen.
It was swollen, but when Liu Miaozhen talked about the past, she still had an innocent look on her face.
Liu Miaozhen made a living with his uncle in the water village since he was a child. He was both a fisherman and a bandit. Later, he moved to fight in the world. In the battle of Suining, Lin Fu was defeated and became famous all over the world. At his peak, he had hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses under his command, and he also led an army alone.
, how can such a life experience not be called wonderful?
Liu Miaozhen received an order from Emperor Yongxing to marry her, and was granted the title of Madam Qiaoguo. Even if she married Lin Fu as his concubine, Lin Fu did not let her give up commanding the army. Her status was actually not lower than that of his wife Gu Junxun, let alone a minor.
Man, Liu Yue'er, Su Mei, Sun Wenwan, several concubines, and the shady Gu Yingxiu, Shan Rou could reach it - but Liu Miaozhen's life was too legendary, so Xiao Man, who had always had a bad relationship with Song Jia, felt unhappy.
It was out of jealousy. With her proud temperament, she actually wanted to fawn over Liu Miaozhen. Whenever she had the opportunity to move around, she always looked forward to hearing more about Liu Miaozhen's past.
Liu Miaozhen said: "Compared to adults, Miaozhen's past is nothing to mention..."
"That's right. I haven't suffered a loss in these years. When I tightened my belt to send food and money to Huaisi, how many people in the military department had no objection? But it can't be resisted by your lord's arbitrary actions. The past two years have passed.
, I asked everyone to gain personal wealth, and everyone in the army was shocked." Song Jia said with a smile.
Liu Miaozhen has been in the army all year round and has developed a strong temper early on. She doesn't care about the personal relationship between her children. She even puts on women's clothes and sits with Xiaoman and others. Her posture is more heroic and less feminine, but when Song Jia talks about her, she is like this
He was joking, but his face also looked a bit shy.
If you think about it carefully, if Lin Fu hadn't been so sincere to each other, it would have been difficult for the Huaiyang army generals to be so obedient. Liu Miaozhen decided to marry Lin Fu as his concubine, knowing that the hearts of the Huaiyang army were all towards Huaidong.
Lin Fu's generous methods also made her feel frustrated - her heart was broken by Lin Fu, but this kind of heartbreak was different from the personal relationship between men and women, but it was entangled in Liu Miaozhen's heart, making it difficult for her to distinguish.
Xiaoman also knew that Liu Miaozhen could not talk about the family feud, so he asked: "I passed by the outer hall before noon and heard that Shen Rong, the prefect of Weiyang, and Dong Yuan got together and did not deal with Huaidong. It's strange to say that Shen Rong must take it.
Can Huaidong be an enemy?"
"Normally it doesn't matter, but now you say it to make others laugh," Su Mei chuckled, "Aren't you bringing this matter up to expose my husband's shortcomings?"
Liu Miaozhen said: "I guessed that the master was causing trouble inside back then, but I couldn't figure out the details. I didn't expect that the master would use such a clever plan to include many people..."
"After much thought, Uncle Qin Cheng was the one who was most unjust..." Song Jia said with a smile.
"Alas," Su Mei, who knew the details of what happened that year, sighed, "my husband wanted to stop this, so he sent two letters to Duke Gu at that time, but he ignored them. It seems that the imperial court was constantly arguing with each other and was at odds with each other. Shen
Rong was also aware of changes in Hongzepu, but he even wanted to use Uncle Qin Cheng as bait to induce an uprising in Hongzepu Water Village in exchange for his personal achievements. At that time, the soldiers and horses of Dongyang Prefecture were secretly gathered by Shen Rong in Shiliang County -
- Several coincidences prompted Xianggong to take chestnuts from the fire... It was probably this incident that caused the rift between Xianggong and Gu Gong, which caused so many troubles later."
The feud between the Lin and Gu families ended with the death of Gu Wuchen and the destruction of the Qingzhou Army. It is emotional to think about it - the past has passed, and Gu Junxun is still the main wife today. Even Gu Siyuan was recommended as Huaidong after the filial piety period in March.
Puzhi County, please go to southern Zhejiang to do something beneficial to people's livelihood.
Nowadays, Huaixi soldiers and horses are not direct descendants. Dong Yuan comes to be the coach. If he can't get money, how can he have prestige?
After settling on their names, Song Jia and Su Mei no longer avoided Liu Miaozhen in many matters, and Liu Miaozhen also knew many unknown secrets about Lin Fu's rise to power.
Speaking of the Hongzepu robbery, the Huaisi army took the opportunity to rise and sweep through the Central Plains, and Lin Fu also benefited a lot from it, laying the foundation for his rise from Jiangning - running the prison island and dealing with the Hongzepu chaos calmly, Lin Fu was truly
It fell into the eyes of Li Zhuo, who was then the military commander and garrison general of Jiangning.
In the ninth year of Chongguan, when the Yanlu invaded the border area, Li Zhuo was determined to recruit Lin Fu, so he pushed against the Ancha division headed by Gu Wuchen and sent troops.
When Lin Fu led the Jiangdong Left Army to the north, it seemed that Li Zhuo was causing trouble for Gu Wuchen. It was a party dispute and mutual strife. Until the Jiangdong Left Army suddenly emerged in Yannan, the tacit understanding between Lin Fu and Li Zhuo over the years has become known.
Li Zhuo's actions back then were of great ambition and magnanimity.
It was not Gu Wuchen but Li Zhuo who truly recognized Lin Fu's talents and put them to use. But thinking about the Five Tigers of East Fujian back then, Li Zhuo's ability to recognize people and his courage in employing them were rare in the world.
Liu Miaozhen smiled. Speaking of grievances, Huaiyang and Huaidong were also entangled in grievances. She was determined to marry Lin Fu as a concubine. Both sisters-in-law strongly opposed it, saying that it was okay for Huaiyang to be annexed to Huaidong, but she and Lin Fu ended up
It's the revenge of brother's murder.
Having experienced many killings over the years, the so-called hatred and grudges have faded away. During the Huaisi War, they were enemies rather than friends with Huaidong. How could they still resent Huaidong for not being merciful and merciful to them? Compared with other families' extermination, they really let them
It is Huaidong that survives.
When she secretly went to Chongzhou and met with Lin Fu, the hatred in Liu Miaozhen's heart was completely gone. The hatred disappeared, and Liu Miaozhen also felt that Lin Fu was outstanding, but it was limited to this. The real heart-wrenching thing was
Lin Fu's magnanimity in dealing with Huai Si.
Subtly, the Huaiyang general turned his heart to Huaidong, which is really not a surprise - this is simple to say, but through the ages, how many people have been able to achieve the level of Lin Fu?
Liu Miaozhen didn't know how much love she had for Lin Fu. She just knew that Lin Fu made her heartbroken. On the issue of controlling Hongzepu, she completely agreed with Lin Fu's handling.
The key to the power problem of Hongzepu Water Village is to allow fishermen to settle down and be naturalized. Construction of the Hongze Embankment from Xiahuaikou to Baitang River Mouth began last year. The main embankment is built with piles of earth, with vertical stones as walls in key sections.
After the embankments and ponds were built, nearly ten miles of wetland from the summer waterline to Puli were obtained. This land was enough to house fishermen.
In response to the Weiyang Salt Merchants supporting Huaixi and strengthening their control over the Hongzepu Lake area, Lin Fu decided to strengthen the Baitang River Inspection Department and appointed Zhu Ai as the Baitang River Inspection Department.
The Baitang River Inspection Department was listed separately and placed under the direct jurisdiction of the Military Department. Zhu Ai also served as the commander of the Military Intelligence Department and joined the army. At the same time, the Huaiyang Army transferred several generals familiar with Hongzepu to the Baitang River Inspection Department. The Baitang River Inspection Department
The Inspection Department actually became a special agency of the Huaidong Army responsible for Hongzepu affairs.
Zhu Ai was born as a cattle herder in Yandu County. He stole and sold his farm cattle in exchange for money and went to Chongzhou to trade for Yandu to defend the sea dike map. He served as the most common military officer, a construction officer, and later a farming officer, responsible for the villages.
, showed extraordinary talents, and was transferred to Shanyang County as county magistrate just a few years ago.
Lin Fu was determined to make Shanyang the heart of Xu Si's defense line. Not only were the materials for Xu Si's defense line gathered in Shanyang, but once Xuzhou was not protected, Shanyang and Siyang on the north bank would become the last line of defense to defend Huaihe.
It is also a must-protect line of defense, and in the fight with Huaixi for control of Hongzepu, Shanyang is on the front line. Shanyang's strategic position has far surpassed Huai'an City, the capital county of Huai'an Prefecture.
At first, Li Wei came to Shanyang. After Li Wei was transferred to Xuzhou, he could not find anyone else to hold this important position. Lin Fu went north in person, and the Huaiyang army was completely integrated into Huaidong. Liu Miaozhen, who knew the military affairs, became Lin Fu's trustworthy
Military assistant.
During Lin Fu's absence in Xuzhou, Liu Miaozhen was also responsible for the important task of the military commander-in-chief of Xuzhou. Cao Ziang personally took charge of Shanyang County and was responsible for the general logistics base of the Xusi Defense Line. Zhu Ai was transferred to serve as Cao Ziang's assistant.
Since Cao Zi'ang is in charge of Shanyang, the affairs of Hongzepu are naturally under his direct control. It is also appropriate for Zhu Ai to be transferred to Baitang River for inspection.
******************
Huaidong has made a series of adjustments in Shanyang County. Previously, Huaidong only did not collect fishing lessons. Now it publicly posted notices to formally exempt fishing lessons, but strengthened the tax collection and inspection of the Huaihe Bay waters under the jurisdiction of Huaian, Hongzepu; March
Dong Yuan, who personally went to Haozhou to greet the representatives of the Weiyang Salt Merchant in early October, was naturally aware of these things.
It's one thing to be aware of it. Dong Yuan was too busy working in the field at this time and couldn't take care of Hongzepu at all.
To compete with Huaidong for control of Hongzepu, he needed ships, people, and money. Dong Yuan lacked all three of these, so he could only hope that Shen Rong would have more strength. But Shen Rong had no soldiers.
Huaidong just couldn't get angry.
In order to raise money, Dong Yuan not only condescended to come to Haozhou to welcome salt merchant representatives. In addition to using the taxes of the three governments as collateral, he also recommended Weiyang scholars and salt merchants' children to work in Huaixi, and even used the public land obtained from the inventory
It was sold to salt merchants at a low price of one tael of silver per acre to raise capital for raising troops and farming.
The northwestern region of Huaihe was severely devastated by displacement, and many gentry and country tycoons were the targets of plunder by the refugee army. Many people lost their families and families, and there were many ownerless lands in Huaixi.
However, after Chen Zhihu took office as the envoy of Henan, the refugee army suffered a serious blow and was unable to recover. Although the Huaixi region was dilapidated, it rarely regained peace for more than two years. Some refugees returned to their hometowns one after another, and the issue of land rights and land rights became more and more difficult.
become complicated.
Huaidong used fields to reward military merit. This method was very good, but Dong Yuan could not do it and could not do it.
When he first came to Huaixi, the generals below him were not tamed. He did not easily dare to arouse fierce opposition from local forces. Now if he wanted to get the support of Weiyang salt merchants, he had to reciprocate the favor - any support has limits, and the first payment
There were five hundred thousand taels of silver, which seemed like a lot, but it was not spent at all. If he wanted to raise a steady stream of silver from Weiyang Salt Merchant, Dong Yuan knew that he had to make some kind gesture, and that was land.
As long as he can get the support of the Weiyang salt merchants, the local forces in the northwestern region of Huaihei that were devastated by the war will be too weak to worry about. Under the suggestions of Ding Zhiru and Chen Jingrong, Dong Yuan decided to use the land in Huaixi to reward the Weiyang salt merchants.
, in exchange for Weiyang Salt Merchant’s firm support for him to establish a foothold in Huaixi.
