Longzangpu in the south of the city is one of the 24 cities in Jiangning. Manors and private houses are lined up in rows. The docks stretch for more than ten miles. Boats are connected to each other. The wide river is crowded to pieces. The lanterns hanging at the bow and stern of the boats are reflected in the river water.
Under the lights, Yongjangpo, where the inner and outer rivers bifurcate, looks like a bright star river.
On the other side of the fork is the garrison's Jianrui Battalion. It's pitch black and no movement can be seen.
Privately, it is said that after Anji County was attacked by the Donghai bandits, Li Zhuo summoned She Feihu to scold him, and then directly transferred the Jianrui Battalion to Punan.
Afterwards, Jiangning Mansion also tightened its supervision over ships and merchants entering and leaving Longzangpu, and even sent a team of horsemen and infantry to watch the main hall of Qingfenghang in shifts to monitor entry and exit.
After all, the Donghai bandits, backed by the She family, launched a massive attack on the counties along the Taihu Lake, seriously infringing on the local power of Jiangdong County. There were many conflicts between the Jiangning government office and the county secretary, but they were consistent in local interests and did not directly suppress She Feihu.
In prison, he was already quite polite.
The hall of Xihe Hui and the Sun family's house are on the west side of the fork. The pier outside is crowded with water boats. After returning from the river mouth, even though he was a little drunk, the cold night wind dispelled it.
He gathered up his robe and walked to the pier. The Qiu Cao was about to be shipped. He had to be careful about everything. Even though there was a congregation on duty, Sun Jingxuan would not rest assured if he did not walk around and take a look.
Passing by my daughter's Wenwan courtyard, listening to the sweet laughter inside, I knew that the two girls from the second family were also playing here.
"Daddy is back..." Sun Wenwan listened to the movement in the passage and poked her head out to see her father standing in front of the moon gate, thinking about something, and asked, "How was your drinking today? I thought you would be drunk.
I’m back.”
"Most of the invitations from Lin Fu and Yang Pu were from the Dongyang Township Party. How can anyone think about drinking?" Sun Jingxuan said, "Xisha Island wants to use fifty of our ships. I'll wait for your uncle to come back to discuss it."
"So many ships?" Sun Wenwan asked in surprise, "Could it be that the people he left on Xisha Island will not come back? Is he really going to fight with the She family?" Lin Fu used several large ships in his hands.
On Xisha Island, the Lin family also has twenty or thirty ships for Lin Fu to use for disaster relief. At this time, they also borrowed fifty more ships from here, including the Dongyang, "Jiyun One" and "Jiyun Two"
The ship stayed on the island to prepare for war, and the transportation capacity Lin Fu could organize on Xisha Island would also reach 15,000 dan. Such a large-scale transportation of supplies to Xisha Island would probably have exceeded the boundaries of disaster relief and disaster preparedness.
"Who knows? But the hatred between the two parties is very deep," Sun Jingxuan shook his head and sighed, without thinking deeply, he just said, "It is said that Du Rong wanted to use the Shu family to kill Lin Fu in Anji, but he died under Lin Fu's knife instead.
, Qingfengxing was in chaos, and it has not recovered to this day. The Shu family village was destroyed by Lin Fu, and more than 30 men, women, and children were captured and handed over to Huzhou Prefecture. The people in the county hated the Shu family for colluding with pirates to destroy the city.
When the prisoners paraded through the streets with tags, they threw bricks and rocks at the county residents and killed seven people. The attack on Xisha Island in early August was probably the She family's counterattack. It is said that there were numerous casualties among the victims on the island, including more than fifty casualties in Jiyunshe.
Man, your Uncle Fu also lost an arm. After the bloody battle in Jiyang, Ninghai Town said that more than 4,000 enemies were killed, and the Donghai bandits killed more than a thousand people. These Donghai bandits should be the She family who finally succeeded in Changguo.
The power accumulated by the islands."
Sun Wenwan was filled with emotion. Lin Fu went to Jiangning last winter and swore an oath of incompatibility with Du Rong in Chaotianyi. Others only regarded it as arrogance and a joke. Who would have thought that within a year, Du Rongzhen would be killed by Lin Fu's knife.
.
"Dad, are you going to lend him a boat or someone to lend him?" Sun Wenwan asked.
"It can't be counted as borrowing. Jiyunshe and Xihehui hire boats and people, and there is always business to be done," Sun Jingxuan said. "The She family is so messy, and it is unpopular. Without the battle of Jiyang, the situation in the east might not be possible.
It has long since rotted away. With the canal route cut off, more than 2,000 members of the Xihe Club dragged their families and mouths to drink from the northwest wind?"
"That's right," Sun Wenwan said, "If I am in charge of Jiangdong County, I will let Lin Fu go to Chongzhou to be the county magistrate..."
"While eating wine, some people complained that it was too stingy for the imperial court to reward Lin Fu with such a great contribution in the Jiyang Battle. But even if he was promoted to one more level, the Xuanfu Envoy would not
I won't agree with Lin Fu going to Chongzhou to be the county magistrate. It would be nice if it was your little girl's turn to make the decision in the world." Sun Jingxuan laughed, feeling that the world is difficult in his heart. Xihe Club seems to have a large number of people, but Xihe can
There are really not many court officials who would take him seriously.
"Would Chongzhou have any objections to what Lin Fu did on Xisha Island?" Sun Wenwan asked with concern.
"The attitude of the local government is worthy of consideration," Sun Jingxuan said with a smile. "When the East China Sea bandits had not yet caused a disaster, Chongzhou hated Lin Fu's involvement in the Xisha Islands. According to the congregation who came back from Chongzhou, Chongzhou County was worried about Lin Fu's involvement in the Xisha Islands.
He pulled away. However, Jiangning Qingliu Shilin still scolded Gu Wuchen, and most of them scolded Lin Fu..."
"Probably the threat from the East China Sea bandits is more serious than Lin Fu, an outsider." Sun Wenwan said softly.
"Uncle is back?" Lin Jingzhong's fiancée, Sun Jingtang's daughter Sun Wenpei, walked out of the room holding the hand of her younger sister, bowed to Sun Jingxuan and said to Sun Wenwan, "I told you, don't forget about the day after tomorrow.
Alright, I’m going back first.”
"What happened the day after tomorrow?" Sun Jingxuan asked.
"Mr. Zhao from the Ministry of Punishment is going to give a lecture on prison science at the mouth of the river the day after tomorrow," Sun Wenpei said. "The day after tomorrow there is a grass market at the mouth of the river, and the autumn canal is about to be shipped. The weather in the north is cold, so I am going to buy a thick cotton robe for my uncle.
ah."
"Then I have to thank you first." Sun Jingxuan said with a smile. He had been focusing on Qiu Cao these days and did not pay attention to Zhao Shuhan's lecture on prison science at the mouth of the river.
Although Xihehui carried only 40,000 shi of grain in the autumn canal, it was very different from the 40,000 shi of summer canal.
First of all, the total amount of the summer canal trial this year is only 300,000 shi. Even if the Hongzepu canal road is blocked and there are few boats, the Weiyang waterway is smooth. The southeast wind prevails in summer and autumn and the water level is high, so it is very convenient. This year, the southeast counties
The total volume of canals in autumn reaches 2.5 million shi. The wind direction in autumn and winter is unfavorable, the water level is low and shallow, and the Hongzepu canal road is blocked. Canal boats from Jiangxi and two lakes will be crowded to use the Weiyang waterway, which will cause many problems.
In previous years, all the canal boats have been shipped out by this time, but this year there are especially many things happening in the counties and counties along the Yangtze River, and the autumn canal affairs have been delayed again and again. Sun Jingxuan is worried that if the delay continues, the weather will be very cold, and the rivers north of the Huai River will be iced. That will be a big problem.
It is very likely that we will be stuck on the way for three or four months and have to wait until the next spring to thaw before we can continue our journey. A large number of people will be stranded on the way to eat, drink and eat. The river will freeze. If the canal carrying grain is squeezed by the river ice, the canal will be blocked.
The gang also had to pay compensation along with the boat and food.
For the Qiu Cao incident, Sun Jingtang personally went to Huai'an Prefecture to check the water conditions in the north. He had to make complete preparations for many things.
"This Zhuzi Duan is really chasing Dong Yuan..." She Feihu's handsome face looked particularly gloomy under the candlelight. The sound of Longzangpu's water came leisurely from the window, which made people feel upset.
Qin Zitan sat down silently. Jiang Ningfeng had already compared the bloody battle in Jiyang with Dong Yuan's battle to defend Xianxia, and compared Lin Fu with Dong Yuan back then; of course, Dong Yuan was not very popular with Qingliu Shilin.
Welcome; but they are all powerful enemies of the luxury family.
Now Jiangning is very wary of them. Li Zhuo transferred the Jianrui Battalion to station near them to monitor them and put great restrictions on their activities. Especially after Du Rong's death, Qingfenghang was in chaos.
, they do not have a backup candidate who can replace Du Rong, who is very familiar with the situation in Jiangdong and has extensive contacts, making it impossible for them to make any moves in Jiangning.
A luxurious tiger is like a tiger trapped in a cage. His mood is naturally not smooth and his temper becomes irritable and restless.
"What's all the fuss about? It's better to let the boss suffer some setbacks. How can there be any reason to become fat after just one bite?" Song Jia lazily sat on the brocade couch wearing colorful clothes, "The East China Sea soldiers in Shengsi Islands are just an alliance.
Alliance is far from enough. No matter how close the alliance is, it is just a mob. This time it seems like it has suffered a big loss. In fact, it has also weakened the power of other families. I think as long as the boss is determined this time, he will capture all the Donghai soldiers.
In my own hands, I have many more opportunities than before, maybe it is a blessing in disguise..."
"Young Madam's words make sense. If those who attack Jiyang this time are all Jin'an's elite soldiers, Lin Fu will not have the chance to become famous," Qin Zitan then said, "On the other hand, Jiyang
In the bloody battle, Jin'an lost more than 300 old soldiers. Although it is a heartbreaking thing, the other ten East China Sea pirates also lost more than 700 people, which can be used to replenish more Jin'an elite soldiers. With this kind of consumption to supplement, consume
If the supplementary model continues, the core force of the East China Sea bandits will be completely controlled by the She family, and then the peripheral forces can be directly recruited. I think the young prince should suggest to Jin'an and urge the eldest son to rest and recuperate, while still needing constant harassment.
The three prefectures of Pingjiang, Jiahang, and Mingzhou will be reorganized through war training, and the strength of other forces will be consumed, and people will be transferred from Jin'an to supplement them."
"Consume and replenish, consume and replenish..." She Feihu chewed Qin Zitan's advice gently in his mouth, and his face softened. After the She family split the earth and became a marquis, in order to reduce the court's wariness and to recuperate, they only stayed in Jin'an.
The She family has more than 10,000 elite troops and has reduced its number by nearly 100,000. The She family has no shortage of reserve troops.
"I think you two brothers are just too impatient," Song Jiayan said with a smile, "To completely disrupt the situation in Jiangdong County at this time will only make Liu An'er and other forces look for opportunities to expand. At that time, with the few people in the boss's hands, Jin An can
It’s beyond our reach, so it’s hard to say whether they will still obey the She family’s advice..."
"Can the defeat in Jiyang still be considered a good thing by you?" She Feihu retorted with a rare smile.
"It can't be considered a good thing," Qin Zitan naturally wouldn't bring up Du Rong's death to spoil the fun, and said, "Judging from the intelligence collected so far, Lin Fu has no intention of withdrawing from Xisha Island. Chongzhou has no intention of withdrawing from Lin Fu."
The attitude has also quietly changed, which is quite detrimental to us. The only good news is that Gu Wuchen currently has no intention of letting Lin Fu participate in the military..."
"This is indeed good news," She Feihu had to admit, "Maybe this guy is too sharp, and Gu Wuchen is worried that it will be difficult to control him in the future."
Dongyang Xiangyong, which is now full of 4,000 people, is under the control of Gu Wuchen. It has shown a quite active trend in the northern part of Dongyang, putting considerable pressure on Liu An'er's deployment in Shiliang County; if Gu Wuchen will 4,000 Dongyang Xiangyong
Putting Yongdu under the direct command of Lin Fu is likely to directly change the situation in the Hongzepu area.
"You men are all so narrow-minded, and you always want to suppress others in everything," Song Jia said disdainfully while sitting next to her.
She Feihu ignored his wife's ridicule and lowered his head to look at the map on the desk. It would be a headache for Lin Fu not to withdraw his men from Xisha Island.
