Chapter 59: Collect Your Heart

"A certain person is not self-assured of his identity, pushing three obstacles," Ye Junan welcomed Lin Jian into the private room for a secret talk, and bowed for a long time, "The Fujian thieves are strong, the court is weak, there is a Qianjiang River across the river, and Mingzhou is alone." As far as ordinary people are concerned, today really don't know what will happen tomorrow, so they are panicked, and it is normal to have the heart of riding on the wall and watching. ”

"The merit of calming the people and building the community, I also wish," Lin Jian stretched out his hand and asked Ye Junan to sit and talk, and said, "The Fujian thief seems to be strong, but at the end of the strong crossbow, Mr. lives in Siming Mountain and looks at the world, so he should be observed...... When the Fujian thieves are about to be exhausted, I don't take eastern Zhejiang, don't guard eastern Zhejiang, when will I serve? ”

"My lord takes Zhedong, takes it for Huaidong, and takes it for the imperial court?" Ye Junan asked again.

Lin Jian was slightly stunned, Ye Junan's question was quite difficult to answer.

It is certain that Ye Junan has not been in contact with Liu Zhi, Chen Mingzhe, Meng Xinshi and others before, so he should not test Huaidong for Jiang Ning-but even so, Ye Junan's question is difficult to answer.

"I don't hide it, sir," Lin Jian said, "Yanjing has been trapped by thieves for more than a month, and it is really in a precarious situation. Before I led the Huaidong army to attack eastern Zhejiang, I received an edict from King Qin in the north, but Jiangdong was not protected, and there was no way to save Yanjing...... I have no other wishes, but to calm the people and the land to resist foreign insults. The court is worthy of this responsibility, I will do my best, die and die, and I will not hesitate to do so; However, today's imperial court, given to Xiaoxiao, is weak and confused, and I should be in charge of eastern Zhejiang for the imperial court, which is notorious behind me, and I will not give up! ”

"If you can have this ambition, you will realize the well-being of all people!" Ye Junan left his seat, walked to the front of the hall, took the robe and knelt down, and said, "Jun'an is only a little knowledgeable, but he also knows that the society is the people's preciousness, and he doesn't dare to spare the body of the candle, please do your meager strength for the adults!" ”

"Sir, please, how can I dare to receive such a great gift from Mr.?" Lin Jian took a step forward and picked Ye Junan up from the ground.

Song Jia stood aside and looked at it and sighed secretly: Since the power of the East China Sea Kou has risen sharply, Mingzhou Mansion has been bullied by the sea, and the whole territory has fallen in the eleventh year of Chongguan, and those forces who hope for the imperial court and are loyal to the Yuan family have been purged by the luxury family.

The remaining local forces in Mingzhou Mansion are not so much looking forward to Mingjun as they are looking forward to calming the local lords.

"During the period of Fujian thieves ruling Zhejiang, there were many subservient people in Mingzhou Mansion, which was really helpless, and I hope that the adults can treat them differently," after expressing his intentions, Ye Junan sat back in front of the case, and said with a heartfelt offer, "The Tian family and the like, when the clan has no property, otherwise it is not enough to be punished." The Mingzhou families are not guilty of guilt, but they are worried about changing the order and changing the situation. Jun'an lives alone in Siming Mountain, but he has leisure to watch Chongzhou's new policy. Compared with the talents of adults, Jun'an has no high opinion on the policy of governing Zhejiang, but it is enough to ask adults to implement a new policy in Mingzhou on the condition of forgiveness of sins. Fujian thieves rule Zhejiang, exploitation is still heavy, in the families and the people, there are very few people who have attachments. The adults are implementing a new policy in Mingzhou, although the interests of all families are damaged, but they can pardon the past, and in the era when the day is precarious and their lives are lost, it is enough to calm people's hearts. In addition, the land annexation of Zhejiang is still heavy, hundreds of thousands of people in Mingzhou, seven or eight out of ten are landless customers, rent reduction can win the hearts of the people, why worry about Mingzhou uneasy? ”

Lin Jian naturally wanted to implement the new policy in Mingzhou, but the forced implementation of the new policy in Mingzhou by drawing people from Huaidong was a big gap compared to Ye Junan and other local figures in Mingzhou who took the initiative to support the implementation of the new policy - Lin Jian did not expect that Ye Junan would also study the new policy in Chongzhou during the period of the luxury family governing Zhejiang, which is very rare.

"As for the official rule," Ye Junan continued, "the local military garrison was merged into the Eastern Zhejiang Establishment Embassy, and the government secretary and the county lieutenants were concurrently served by the envoy generals, there should be no doubt. In addition, Shengzhou City should abolish the county governance, think that it is stationed in the camp, and contain the main force of Fujian thieves in Dongyang County, Tiantai County and other places, in terms of the situation, it is still beneficial to Mingzhou Mansion! ”

"Sir, great talent!" After listening to Ye Junan's words, Lin Jian confirmed that he was indeed very good at belly, and stood up and said, "I want to make the right chief of the department condescend to Mr. Shi with the system, Mr. Wang, don't want to resign!" ”

It has nothing to do with the rank, and the system makes the most important and prominent positions such as the left and right long history and the left and right Sima. The Eastern Zhejiang Envoy will be co-located with the Eastern Zhejiang Battalion, and Lin Jian will use Fu Qinghe to set up the Deputy Envoy and the Battalion to protect the overall situation in Eastern Zhejiang, and will use Hu Zhiyong as the military secretary and the left long history of the camp, as the head of the civil officials in Eastern Zhejiang.

After Liang Wenzhan served as the prefect of Mingzhou, he would also serve as the commander of the military department and the camp of Zuo Sima, which was officially included in the Huaidong system.

Ye Junan stood up and saluted: "To serve the adult, don't dare to resign." ”

"I recommend Liang Wenzhan as the prefect of Mingzhou, but the Jiangning order has not yet come down, and Liang Wenzhan will not be able to come to Mingzhou for a while," Lin Jian said, "I also want to ask Mr. to resign himself to the position of a priest to join the army, and select talented and virtuous people from the local area for Huaidong's use!" A certain will also recommend Mr. to the imperial court to serve as the general judge of the Mingzhou Mansion. ”

"Don't dare to quit your duty!" Ye Junan said.

On the same day, Ye Junan took several students into Mingzhou City to take up the post of the right chief of the Eastern Zhejiang Military Division.

Fu Qinghe set up the deputy envoy and led the eastern Zhejiang camp to guard, Lin Tie was not in eastern Zhejiang, on behalf of Lin Tie in charge of the military and political affairs of eastern Zhejiang, Hu Zhiyong, Ye Junan was divided into the left and right long history, and took charge of government affairs, Liang Wenzhan also led Zuo Sima, from the second water battalion, Hailing Mansion Army, Gonglu Battalion and local investment army selected 12,000 elites into the eastern Zhejiang camp army, a total of 20 battalions of the four brigades of the land and water and horse infantry army, with Sun Wenyao, Han Caizhi, Chen Kuili, Mao Tengyuan and other four people as the four brigade generals of the camp army.

The military secretary and the camp also set up a number of people in charge of affairs and books, and Li Shutang and others filled the positions.

In addition, the Changshan Battalion, the Chongzhou Infantry Battalion and the 2nd and 3rd Water Battalions were under the control of the Eastern Zhejiang Military Division and the Xing Battalion during the war.

At present, the people's livelihood and government affairs of Mingzhou Mansion are all under the jurisdiction of the military department and the camp, and after Liang Wenzhan comes to Mingzhou, he will hand over the handover, and before the new policy, it is more important to stabilize the western defense line from Shangyu to Shengzhou and concentrate troops to exterminate the remnants of luxury families entrenched in Changguo and Daishan Islands.

At present, the main forces of the Changshan Battalion, the Chongcheng Infantry Battalion, and the 2nd and 3rd Water Battalions are concentrated on the western front, mainly guarding against the extravagant soldiers and horses stationed in Dongyang, Zhuji, and Huiji. The heavy task of exterminating the remnants of the luxury families of Changguo and Daishan Islands fell on the hastily formed army of the eastern Zhejiang Battalion, and the First Water Battalion was responsible for the sea blockade and support.

The eastern Zhejiang camp army is mainly based on the expansion of the Hailing Mansion Army and the Eastern Zhejiang Affiliated Army, and its combat power naturally cannot be compared with the elite infantry such as the Changshan Battalion and the Chongcheng Infantry Battalion, but the expanded strength is as many as more than 12,000 people.

There are only more than 4,000 remnants of the extravagant family who are cowering in Changguo and Daishan Islands, and the troops are scattered in seven or eight defense villages. Although casualties are inevitable, the difficulty of breaking through each will not be too great.

Whether or not to use the annexed army has always been a key issue for the commanders to weigh.

The luxury family has not ruled eastern Zhejiang for a long time, just as Ye Junan said, there are few families and people who return to their hearts, and more people are succumbing to wait and see. Since the attack on Zhejiang, there have been almost 4,000 soldiers and horses, which is more than the number of troops in Hailingfu. If so many people are not used, resettlement is also a problem, and Huaidong's troops are also insufficient. It is to be used to defend the city, and when the luxury family counterattacks over, it is also a question whether these horses can be reassured.

Using these horses to storm Changguo and Daishan, firstly, they will make a mortal enmity with the luxury family, lose the mind of riding on the wall and watch, and be able to use their hearts and minds for Huaidong, and secondly, they will use cruel warfare to consume the strength of the attached army and replenish the workers' battalions loyal to Huaidong. Even if the subordinate generals are uncertain, as long as they ensure that the grassroots military attaches and soldiers can be loyal to Huaidong, they can also ensure that the entire army can be in Huaidong's hands.

From the 23rd, Mao Tengyuan and other subordinate generals led their troops to set out from Hukou and landed on Changguo Island from Laotangshan Port to exterminate the remnants of luxury families who were entrenched in Changguo and other islands and refused to surrender. In every battle, the soldiers suffered casualties, and the eastern camp of Zhejiang was drawn from the Gongqi battalion to supplement it.

Mao Tengyuan and other generals and colonels in eastern Zhejiang also knew Huaidong's thoughts, and in addition to strictly restricting the generals and colonels to control the army, Huaidong was very advantageous in other aspects, and there was no intention of embarrassing the generals and colonels, and the soldiers had casualties, and they were all compensated according to the standards of the Huaidong Army, and the armor and bows and crossbows were supplemented, which was also quite sufficient.

Under the current situation, Mao Tengyuan and other generals also put aside their wait-and-see mentality and tried their best to attack Changguo and Daishan for Huaidong, hoping to rely on their military exploits as a vote to gain Huaidong's trust as soon as possible to determine their due status. drove the soldiers to attack the remnants of the luxury family, with extra care, and the intensity of the battle even exceeded the main force of the Huaidong Army on the Western Front.

This mentality is the same as that of the rebel generals who surrendered to Donghu.

On the 26th, the attached army of eastern Zhejiang captured the most important Longshan Cottage on Changguo Island at twice the cost of casualties, and completely annihilated more than 800 remnants of the luxury family guarding the Longshan Village. On the 29th, 400 remnants of the main island of Daishan opened the gate of the village and surrendered, recovering the whole island of Daishan.

Regardless of Jiang Ning's silent attitude, Lin Jian continued to fold his hand at Jiang Ning, suggesting that Daishan Islands be incorporated into Shengsi and Shengsi County should be added under Hailing Mansion. Lin Tie took Daheng Island as the seat of county governance, and recommended Chen Enze's father Chen Lei as the first magistrate of Shengsi, and Shengsi as the key pass connecting Huaidong to eastern Zhejiang.

On the second day of the first month of May, Han Caizhi led his troops to capture Qiji Village on the east coast of Changguo Island, thus completely destroying the remnants of the luxury family entrenched on the main island of Changguo. In addition to a few small islands in the southeast of Changguo, the capital of Mingzhou and the islands of the East China Sea were all recovered.

In early May, the Zhedong Battalion, which strangled the remnants of the extravagant family, fought extremely fiercely, and suffered heavy casualties, returned to Mingzhou and Shangyu in early May to garrison and rest. After Han Caizhi led his troops to Shangyu, the Changshan battalion was led by Ao Canghai, assembled with Shengzhou City as the base, and maintained military suppression of the extravagant soldiers and horses in Dongyang and other places from the direction of Luohe Mountain.

In the face of the strong military pressure and constant harassment of the 2nd and 3rd Water Battalions in Huaidong, in early May, Hao Feihu finally ordered the use of sunken ships and hidden piles to block the waterways on the Qianjiang River, Shanyin River, and Jianhukou west of the Cao'e River, giving up the possibility of counterattacking the Mingzhou Mansion with the remnants of the Eastern Zhejiang Water Division.

From the Cao'e River upwards, the Qianjiang waterway is only three or four miles wide, and there is a sand kan at the bottom of the river, which is not conducive to the Huaidong warships entering the battle. After the large-scale blockade of the waterway by the extravagant Feihu with sunken ships and hidden piles, it was even more difficult for the warships of the Huaidong Naval Division to advance westward.

The extravagant flying tiger blocked the waterway in the west, and the Huaidong Army was not to be outdone, cooperating with northern Zhejiang, and also doubled the blockade of the Qianjiang waterway with sunken ships and hidden piles, completely blocking the eastern Zhejiang naval division in the upper reaches of the Qianjiang River.

After the Qianjiang waterway was blocked, the role of the water camp in the Qianjiang River was weakened to a very low level, and everything could only depend on the victory and defeat of the infantry battalion on land, and then the obstacles could be cleared and the waterway reopened. Of course, the main force of the Huaidong Water Battalion can also withdraw from the military confrontation on the Qianjiang River and intensify its crackdown on the coastal areas of southern Zhejiang and central Fujian.
