Liu Wenzhong is a native of Ouhai, and he has been in Chongguan for five years, although he is only one subject earlier than Lin Lian, he is two rounds older.

When the luxury family controlled the East China Sea and plundered Jiangsu and Zhejiang, the Liu family was deeply injured, and the children suffered countless casualties, forming a deep blood feud. From the Donghai Kou period, Liu Wenzhong led the villagers and clans to actively resist, and his reputation in Yongjia Mansion was very high, so he and Ye Su led the anti-luxury forces in southern Zhejiang. At the same time that Ye Su served as the prefect of Yongjia Mansion and supervised the preparation of soldiers, Liu Wenzhong served as the general judge of Yongjia Mansion and the chief inspector.

On the one hand, the imperial court clearly agreed that all the anti-luxury forces in southern Zhejiang were subject to the control of the envoy Si Yao in northern Zhejiang; On the one hand, after withdrawing from the cities of Yongjia and Yueqing, the prefect and general titles on the heads of Ye Su and Liu Wenzhong are completely incompatible; On the one hand, Ye Su, Liu Wenzhong, and the generals under their command were eager to recover the entire territory of southern Zhejiang-out of this kind of consideration, Ye Su and Liu Wenzhong did not accept the advice of the Huaidong Military Division and withdrew from Yueqing and Yongjia.

However, this does not mean that Ye Su, Liu Wenzhong and others are not aware of the grim situation they are currently in.

The two cities of Yueqing and Yongjia were surrounded by the rebels of Zhejiang and Fujian, and the soldiers were weak and the city was ruined, and the villagers were also encouraged by the rebels, and the spirit of resistance was not strong. Only the Huaidong Navy Division could tear through the blockade line of the luxury family and throw the warships into the coastal areas of southern Zhejiang and eastern Fujian, and the Yongjia anti-luxury army could only obtain support from Huaidong in terms of men and materials.

Liu Wenzhong was forty-eight years old at the time, with a thin figure, wearing a crimson official robe given by the emperor that was a little ill-fitting, his eyes were blazing, and he looked sharp and energetic. In order to show respect, Lin Jian specially led Fu Qinghe, Zhou Tong, and Zhao Qingshan to the eaves of the official hall to wait.

"I listened to Lord Liu's righteous act of leading the rebellion in Huaidong, admired it for a long time, and I saw it today, fortunately ......" Lin Tie greeted him.

Huaidong is qualified to wear a purple official robe, only Lin Tie, Liu Wenzhong walked into the small courtyard, and secretly took care of Lin Tie and his people - Lin Tie's deeds spread in southern Zhejiang, good and bad: his Wenju was born, but he was good at governing the army, leading troops to resist the enemy, and was invincible in a hundred battles, and there were several generals after Li Zhuo; As the backbone of the Dongyang Party, he was insoluble with Zhang Xie and Yue Lengqiu in the imperial court, restrained each other in Jiangdong, and was suspected of raising a coward, supporting the army and respecting himself, and was the murderer behind the scenes that made the situation in Jianghuai not improve for a long time; Its tyrannical governance in Huaidong, for the convenience of looting, often stirred up unjust prisons, so that the people under his rule dare not speak out - these are just rumors that spread to southern Zhejiang, what is the truth, Liu Wenzhong does not know, at the moment just according to the number of courtesies, towards the forest to make a salute: "In front of adults, the meager name of the lower officials, like the glow of fireflies, is really not enough to mention......

"......" Lin Lian laughed and said, "A certain person only wants to be worthy of his heart, what is nameless," he looked at the black-faced young man behind Liu Wenzhong and asked, "This is General Zuo Guangying?" ”

"Guangying, see your lord!" Zuo Guangying stepped forward to pay respects.

"General Zuo doesn't need to be polite...... Lin Jian stepped forward to mix Zuo Guangying, and then invited Liu Wenzhong, Zuo Guangying and others into the official hall to discuss matters.

Zuo Guangying was born as a poor fisherman, and became one of the leaders of the Yongjia Township Army during the rebellion against the Donghai Kou, brave and resourceful - the imperial court gave the Yongjia Anti-Luxury Army six battalions and gave the title of six Zhaowu captains, and Zuo Guangying was one of the six captains of Yongjia.

Even if Ye Su, Liu Wenzhong and other Yongjia people had the intention to stick to Yueqing and Yongjia, they also knew the importance of keeping the sea route open with Huaidong at sea, and it was inevitable to send troops to the Jishan Islands, which were easy to defend and difficult to attack.

For a long time, they only saw the luxury family manipulating the East China Sea Kou to run rampant in the East China Sea, and they always believed that the Zhedong Naval Division, which integrated the forces of the East China Sea Invaders, was the most powerful combat force in the East China Sea - this concept obviously would not change for the Huaidong Naval Division to attack south.

From this point of view, the people of Yongjia will undoubtedly think that defending the island is much more difficult and dangerous than guarding the two cities of Yueqing and Yongjia - even if it is necessary to keep the sea route open with Huaidong, no one is willing to bear this drudgery, and in the end, Zuo Guangying resolutely led his troops to enter the Jishan Islands!

Compared with Zuo Guangying's background, the other generals of the Yongjia Army are all from clans. Zuo Guangying resolutely went to defend Jishan Island, and the reasons behind it are also quite complicated - from Huaidong's point of view, he is happy to see this complexity, which means that Zuo Guangying is more likely to accept the influence of Huaidong.

After discussing in the official hall for a long time, Lin Jian also knew more details about Yongjia's anti-luxury army from Liu Wenzhong and Zuo Guangying.

Although Ye Su and Liu Wenzhong led their troops down from Yandang Mountain and occupied the two cities of Yongjia and Yueqing, and the soldiers and horses also expanded from more than 2,000 to more than 4,000 before, the situation was already difficult.

Luxury Feihu has resisted the Ouhai City on the south bank of the Yongjia River, the luxury family transferred troops from western Zhejiang, and the elite combat power that the luxury Feihu can call in Ouhai has more than 5,000 people, plus the recruitment of local surrender forces, nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses, forming an absolute advantage on the south bank of the Yongjia River. After the Feihu only waited for the mouth of the Yongjia River to be completely blocked and the passage of the Huaidong Navy into the Yongjia River was cut off, he would lead his troops to cross the river and attack the cities of Yongjia and Yueqing. In the north of Yongjia and Yueqing, Linhai and Huiji Mansion are connected by land, and the garrison of the luxury family in Linhai counties has also increased to more than 4,000 people, intensifying the efforts to clear and suppress Kuocang Mountain.

Compared with the elite combat power of the luxury family in southern Zhejiang, the Yongjia army, which has more than 4,000 horses, lacks soldiers and armor, and the money and salary are also seriously lacking.

Yongjia army is controlled by the northern Zhejiang envoy Si Yao, no matter how difficult the situation in Yongjia is, it will not be the turn of Huaidong Yue Yu to act on behalf of the company, Lin Jian listened to Liu Wenzhong for a long time, and finally nodded and said: "I will immediately send someone to escort Lord Liu to Hangzhou to see Lord Dong, and the envoy of the northern Zhejiang system will allocate Yongjia's materials and money, and Huaidong will send a ship to Yueqing for Lord Liu!" If there is any loss at sea, Huaidong will also bear it......"

Lin Lian said this, what else can Liu Wenzhong say?

Even if the Dengzhou Sailor helped transport rice and grain in the sea east of Hejian Province, according to the usual practice, he would have to charge an additional 3 to 50 percent of the "drifting".

The extravagant Zhedong Naval Division also controlled the open sea between Mingzhou Mansion and Daishan and Changguo Islands, and it was extremely risky to transport materials to Yueqing by sea. Huaidong helped transport supplies without saying a penny, and was willing to bear all the average, which also made him unable to put forward higher requirements for Huaidong.

How much material support can be received on this trip depends on how generous Dong Yuan is, and maybe he needs to go to Jiangning for a trip.

Liu Wenzhong stood up and thanked him: "Thank you for your kindness, Yongjia million Li Shu thanks to your thoughtful ......"

Lin Lian knew that Jiangning would not be too stingy, although the entire southern front was barely able to stabilize the defensive line, but it also gave Luo Xiancheng the Changle army to the south, making a mess - recovering Yongjia and Yueqing from the hinterland of southern Zhejiang, the strategic significance is secondary, but it can boost morale.

Besides, if Jiang Ning wants to suppress Huaidong's merits, he will have to highlight the merits of Yongjia people more and more, how can he be too stingy? It's just that Jiangning is in financial difficulties, and it will be a little difficult to allocate a full amount of money and armor to Yongjia at one time.

"It is your duty to serve the imperial court," Lin Jian said with a smile, "To ensure the smooth sea route from Huaidong to Yueqing, the Jishan Islands should be defended with all our might, and Huaidong still has some experience in guarding the islands - furthermore, defending the Jishan Islands can interfere with the sea transportation between eastern Fujian and eastern Zhejiang." I hope that General Zuo can stay here for the time being and discuss the details of defending the Jishan Islands, and in addition, guarding the Jishan Islands, Huaidong can also support some ordnance and warships! ”

Ye Su and Liu Wenzhong came down from Yandang Mountain and occupied Yueqing and Yongjia, except for a few broken fishing boats, there was not a single decent sea boat, and the armor was even more lacking.

Hearing Lin Lian say this, Liu Wenzhong regretted that there were too few soldiers for Zuo Guangying to bring to the Jishan Islands, and it was too late to regret it at this time, so he didn't say anything more at this time, just thanked him.

The situation in Yueqing and Yongjia was grim, and Liu Wenzhong did not dare to delay time on Daheng Island, so he took a boat to Haiyu that night, and rushed to Hangzhou from Haiyu to meet Dong Yuan, the envoy of northern Zhejiang.

Although the Yongjia army was expanded to more than 4,000 people, Zuo Guangying wanted to enter the Jishan Islands, and the headquarters was not replenished, and there were only less than 400 people. However, among the more than 400 soldiers guarding the Jishan Islands, most of them are veterans who were born as fishermen, and they are quite strong in combat and are quite familiar with the situation in the Jishan Islands.

Yongjia's situation is like that, whether or not you can hold the Jishan Islands depends on the support of Huaidong. In particular, the Jishan Islands are lonely on the sea, more than 100 miles away from the coastline, the Yongjia army is extremely short of supplies, there is not a single decent warship, and the material replenishment of the Jishan Islands also depends on Huaidong - Zuo Guangying knows the grim situation of guarding the Jishan Islands, so he personally went to Daheng Island to ask for help.

On the southeast coast of Zhejiang, there are thousands of large and small islands, and Huaidong hopes that Yongjia will send troops to defend Jishan Island, which is naturally a choice after repeated weighing.

The Jishan Islands are located in the southeast of Yongjia, about 120 miles away from the east coast of Ouhai County, and are on the center line of the sea route connecting eastern Fujian and eastern Zhejiang.

The main island of the Jishan archipelago is surrounded by bright reefs and reefs, the threat to passing ships is great, only the narrow and dangerous waterway is for small and medium-sized ships to approach the island shore, the main island area is not large, but the rocky mountains on the island are steep, and the caves run through the network vertically and horizontally.

Because the Jishan Islands are an inner line, the luxury family did not send troops to garrison them, but as long as an elite is stationed, it is definitely a dangerous place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Lin Jian hoped that Zuo Guangying could lead his troops to defend the Jishan Islands, and secondly, he hoped that Zuo Guangying's troops could be equipped with small and medium-sized elite warships to blockade the waters around the Jishan Islands.

Only in this way can the Jishan Islands be like a huge flesh thorn piercing into the body of the luxury family, making it difficult for them to sleep and eat.

It is said that Zuo Guangying's rank is limited, and there are dozens of generals above the battalion level in Huaidong on Daheng Island, but Lin Jian does not take a shelf, and personally discusses the details of the defense of the Jishan Islands with Zuo Guangying. Fu Qinghe, Zhao Qingshan, Han Caizhi and others were responsible for the rest and recuperation of the southern attack fleet, and they had no time to accompany them throughout the process.
