At the mouth of the river, the river slopes to the southwest corner, and the west bank of the estuary and the river bank are sandwiched into an acute angle platform slightly higher than the surrounding area, about 300 acres, and Jiyunshe has bought the land rights of 300 acres of land during this time. 300 acres is not big, not small, about 1,300 steps around a circle, except for the riverbank wharf and the bamboo embankment wharf, the platform is surrounded by a fence wall mixed with bamboo branches and wicker.

The wicker has been inserted for more than half a month, sprouting with the spring breeze, and it is covered with cyan from a distance, separating the terrace from the outside world.

The buildings in the terrace are still very limited, there is a large enclosed house composed of nearly 40 single courtyards in the west corner by the river embankment, such a enclosed house covers an area of almost 15 or 6 acres of land, the outer wall is high and thick, except for the four corner towers of the superb outer wall, Zhao Qinmin stood on the high ground on this side of the bamboo embankment wharf with Lin Lian and others, and could not see the situation in the enclosed house at all.

Listening to the warning bell signal, Ge Fu, Wu Yanqing, Zhao Shuhan, Ge Siyu and others did not go to Prison Island to hide, they all went ashore with Zhao Qinmin with the forest and walked to this high ground, but they blocked the view of the poplar forest in the southwest corner, and only saw the birds in the southwest direction startled, and I don't know how many people and horses rushed here.

Listening to the constant buzzing of the whistle bell, Zhao Qinmin was panicked, but Lin Jian stood calmly on the side of the high ground, and he could only hold back his anxious mood and look around.

He knew that there was a similar size enclosed house on the west side of the large enclosure house that blocked the view, and there was a thatched cottage and dozens of shacks and earthen enclosed warehouses for stacking goods, and the bamboo hall on this side of the estuary was beginning to take shape - the bamboo hall was a single building, Zhao Qinmin stood at the height of the bamboo embankment wharf, looking at the entire semi-arc bamboo hall covering an area of about two acres, it was difficult to imagine that a palace-style large building could be built with bamboo alone.

With the exception of these buildings, most of the terraces within the fence are still empty. It is no wonder that Lin Jian has only served as a prison officer on Prison Island for more than two months, during this period, there was another tragedy of displaced people at the mouth of the river, and the Jiyun Society mainly focused on digging the river embankment wharf.

On the one hand, it shows that Lin Jian and Jiyun Society have made a lot of preparations earlier, and have been planning for the estuary for a long time; On the one hand, it shows that the financial supply behind Jiyun Club is sufficient, and Jiyun Club is by no means just an empty shelf as rumored by the outside world; On the other hand, the organization of Jiyun Society here is extremely efficient, whether it is material transmission and supply, or personnel organization, or construction of generals, it is very efficient.

Zhao Qinmin can be Wang Xueshan's staff for eight years, even if he is in a panic at this time, his basic eyesight has not been lost, and he thinks that the people in Jiangning City are sitting in the well and watching the sky, and they all think that Lin Jian is just an arrogant and domineering maniac, if you can come here to take a look, you can know that Lin Jian is Gu Wuchen's weapon is heavy, in addition to his unstoppable strong personality can be used as a sharp knife for Gu Wuchen, he does have a great talent that is difficult for ordinary people to reach, and last night he used a plaster cast to fix the broken bones is also an example.

Maybe he should have some confidence in him, Zhao Qinmin thought to himself, although there was a large group of people approaching from the southwest, but he paid attention to Lin Lian's gaze to the west and north. Following the line of sight of Lin Bin, Zhao Qinmin found that the castle-like enclosure house in the northeast corner of the riverside corner tower is the commanding height of this platform, the whistle bell is ringing from the corner tower, and the flagpole of the corner tower supporting the southwest corner of the house has been raised one after another A string of two-color pennants have been raised, although the wind blows a little chaotic, Zhao Qinmin counted a total of ten triangular flags.

"Wow, Wang Xueshan really looks up to us, there are thousands of people here, although only half of the miscellaneous soldiers are brave, and there are two hundred cavalry. The rest of the people may have come to see the excitement......" Lin Jian said, and then led everyone around the grass hall and walked straight to the south fence gate, and the other guards who stayed in the grass hall also came to converge, Zhao Qinmin only then found that these guards came out with bows and arrows.

Is that a messenger flag?

Zhao Qinmin glanced at the southwest corner tower in surprise, there are many literate people in Jiangning's urban and rural areas, but in such a short period of time, there are more than 1,000 people who can clearly count and distinguish and accurately transmit messages, but I am afraid that there are not many people in a hundred. Don't say that the sentry posts of the Jiangning Mansion Soldiers and Horses Division Army do not have such a high level of quality, but I am afraid that the military camp sentry posts under the Jiangning Garrison General's Mansion that have not been practiced for a long time may not be able to transmit such accurate and rapid interrogations.

Zhao Qinmin found that the recruiters working all over the terrace did not panic as they imagined after hearing the sentry bell, and the construction sites they passed through, the recruiters all stopped and sat on the ground, only one or two foremen or overseers stood and looked in the direction of the corner tower. When Zhao Qinmin followed Lin Tie and them to the gate of the south fence, he found that there was a team of men with bamboo guns gathered here, about seventy or eighty people, and two obstacles such as rejecting horses were also set up three or four feet in front of the gate of the fence; On the north embankment, another group of people is gathering to distribute bamboo guns.

Zhao Qinmin saw the difference at this time, and heard that the sentry bells were gathered at various construction sites and sat on the ground were all local laborers hired by Jiyun Society from Moling County and the suburbs of Jiangning City, and these people with bamboo guns in formation were homeless people recruited by Jiyun Society from the north bank of Chaotiandang more than a month ago. Zhao Qinmin never expected that after the tragedy of the displaced people, the will of these displaced people to recruit workers was not only defeated, but also organized Lin Tie in such an orderly manner.

Lin Jingyun, Cao Ziang and others, who had not appeared just now, also came to the southern fence.

Zhao Qinmin was frightened by what he saw with his eyes, how did Lin Jian do everything in front of him? I thought to myself: He has only been here for two months when he went to Prison Island to serve as the prison officer, and the Jiyun Society has only established itself here, if he is given another half a year, I am afraid that he really does not have to worry about the rabble under the command of Dongcheng Wei.

After receiving the report that Yang Pu led the cavalry back to the city, Chen Zhi, the captain of Dongcheng, immediately dispatched more than 500 people from the Soldiers and Horses Division, including horse infantry, sword archers, and soap class officials, to the estuary to arrest Zhao Qinmin and his family. Chen Zhi knew that after the two divisions and three governments recognized that the Jiangdao prison guards had the right to assist in the defense of the estuary some time ago, the sea fishing document issued by the Jiangning Prefecture was not signed by the Inspector General, and it was not binding enough on the small area of the estuary, but he was not worried about this, he had more than 500 people, and one person could flood the small piece of land at the estuary with a mouthful of spit, and he was afraid that the forest would not be able to hand over the people?

There are still eleven or twelve miles of land from the official road of Donghuamen to the mouth of the river, and the carriage and horse road have not yet been repaired. Ge Siyu calculated that from the mouth of the river to build an eight-step wide, two-way carriage and carriage with staggered cars, and a sewer ditch on the side of the road and a willow slope to protect the road, it is necessary to requisition more than 120 acres of land, and it cannot be built without 2,500 taels of silver and 3 million dollars in copper, so this planned carriage and horse road has been dragged and not built. The supplies from the estuary are transported by water, and there is only one earthen road leading directly to the village at the west end of the poplar forest at the mouth of the village, and then bypassing the south end of the poplar forest to the estuary.

The team of 500 people and horses of the Jiangning Mansion Terracotta Division is mighty, unfolded, can occupy nearly two acres of land, line up in four columns, and the team is also forty or fifty zhang long, coming out of the Donghua Gate neatly and majesticly, Chen Zhi rode a tall horse in front of a few escorts and surrounded the horsemen is also very proud, and the news that the nephew died of injuries in the afternoon did not bring much sadness. There are many rogue teenagers and ruffians in the city, especially the ruffians who taught Lin Jian a lesson in Dongshi yesterday but escaped in time, knowing that the men and horses of Dongcheng Lieutenant were coming to the estuary to arrest people, they also flocked to see the excitement, and there were also guys in their hands, thinking that they were about to do it, and they could follow behind the Jiangning Mansion Soldiers and Horses Division to rob while the fire was burning.

Just such a mighty, majestic team out of the Donghua Gate was squeezed into a plate of loose sand by a two-arm-wide dirt road, and when Chen Zhi rushed to the gate of the fence at the mouth of the river before, his men and horses had been dragging for two or three miles, Chen Zhi's face was ugly, and the space outside the gate of the fence gate was very limited, and he could not let so many men and horses under his command be majestically rectified out to deter the people inside the fence.

It was precisely Chen Zhi who stopped outside the gate of the fence, and the soldiers and horses behind him kept converging, the field was narrow, there was a deep drainage ditch on the outside of the field, and the military attache could not command and dispatch in time, and the site was suddenly crowded into chaos, and there was no discipline at all. In the end, Chen Zhi couldn't help it, sent out a few escorts around him, and whipped them indiscriminately, so that the people and horses behind him could be blocked and rushed forward, and the scene was slightly better.

Lin Jian calmly looked at everything outside the fence gate, shook his head with a sigh, and said to Zhao Qinmin and the others with a smile: "Look at it, there are 150,000 households in Jiangning, and the prevention of thieves and thieves depends on these rabble. I've got thirty or fifty elites to dispatch, so I'll open the fence and kill a fucking fucking ......."

Zhao Qinmin looked at the homeless people who had been scattered in a horizontal line to both sides of the fence and armed with simple bamboo guns, and knew that Lin Lian was really not talking big, Lin Lian was rude, and he was probably angry that these rabble in front of him were not formed.

Zhao Shuhan, Ge Siyu, Ge Fu, Ge Yanqing and others also shook their heads silently, the combat power of the government army was so erosive, and the entire town army was not much better. What the imperial court can expect in front of him is the elite under the command of Li Zhuodong and Fujian, and the tens of thousands of remnants of the army that were rectified after the defeat of Chen Tangyi on the northern front, and the other elite divisions are also fragmented and difficult to scale. Of course, the more than 10,000 soldiers and horses retained after the return of the luxury family are also rare elites, but the elite of the luxury army is not a blessing for the imperial court.

Chen Zhi saw that Lin Tie and the others were waiting inside the fence, and those out-of-town refugees who had just settled in Moling County were neatly lined up with bamboo guns on the inside of the fence gate, and his heart burned with anger, raising his silver spear with stirrup, pointing at Lin Tie behind the rejection of the horse: "Lord Lin, what do you mean by this?" ”

"General Chen, what do you mean?" Lin Jian asked.

"On your side, Zhao Qinmin stole official silver, robbed people's daughters, framed innocent people with knives and pens, and was sued, the evidence is conclusive, and the company wants to arrest him and return him to the Yamen of Jiangning Mansion for trial...... Chen Zhi took out the sea fishing document issued by Jiangning Mansion with his feet upright, and read it out in a suppressed voice.

"That's enough," Lin Jian listened impatiently to Chen Zhinian, "The prison guards have the right to assist in the defense of the estuary fence, if the document is not signed by the inspector Si Gu, who dares to take the weapon and go further, there will be no forgiveness!" Martial soldiers, Zhang Xian ......" The halberd pointed at Chen Zhi and ordered. The eight guards on his side scattered to the front side together, untied the longbow on his back, took out the arrow feathers and picked them up in his hand, and pointed directly at Chen Zhi outside the fence door.

Chen Zhi felt that the horse he was riding was too tall at this time, and suddenly made him a target for arrows, he didn't have the courage to bet that Lin Tie didn't dare to order archery, so he climbed off the horse in a panic, pulled two escorts in front of him, and waited for his subordinates to erect more than a dozen shields in front of him, and then said loudly behind the human wall: "Lin Tie Xiao'er, are you going to rebel?" The arrow is pointed at the company, beware that the company wants you to never recover, and ten thousand arrows pierce the heart......"

"Why are you talking so much," Lin Jian said sharply, "If you rush into this door, I will kill you, and the lawsuit will be fought in front of the Qinghe Palace, and Lin is not afraid that you will come back to bite me!" ”

"You're just eight or nine people, what kind of prestige are you putting on, is it possible that these homeless people really dare to kill officers and soldiers if they really listen to you?" Chen Zhi is useless, and he will not be afraid of the eight or nine warriors in front of Lin Zhi, he has brought more than 100 archers alone on this trip, even if he shoots random arrows, he will have the upper hand far ahead.

Ignoring Chen Zhi outside the fence, Lin Jian walked straight to the queue of homeless workers with bamboo guns, and said loudly: "Dozens of days ago, the night invaded the camp, and more than 100 brothers and sisters and I were killed and injured. ”

"Nobody's here." The homeless replied in a loud voice.

"Jiangning Terracotta Division falsely harmed the beloved, despised the majesty of the Inspectorate of the Inspectorate, and came here to arrest the beloved with illegal and disorderly orders, are you allowed him to come in?" Lin Jian asked again in a loud voice.

"No." The homeless replied loudly.

"He waited for the battle to break through and trample on the homes of me and my brothers, but dare to kill me without mercy?" Lin Jian asked again in a loud voice.

"No mercy! No mercy! No mercy! ”

Not to mention that Chen Zhi listened to the weakness of his legs, his face was depressed, and his courage was lost outside the fence, Zhao Qinmin was also shocked when he heard it inside the fence, thinking that these nearly 200 people with bamboo guns were really going to rush out, and in this narrow place, it may not be impossible to overturn the soldiers and horses of Dongcheng Lieutenant.

It's no wonder that Lin Jian dares to be so arrogant, he does have the qualifications to be arrogant, how many people in this world can organize and train these displaced people from all over the world in just over a month to be so morale-like?

A team of homeless people with bamboo guns recruited workers to defend in front of the array of guards with bows and arrows, Lin Jian walked to the middle of Zhao Qinmin and the others, looked at Chen Zhi outside the fence with contempt, and said: "The place in front of the door is also the place where the prison guards assist in defense...... Incense timer! When it's time to shoot arrows, open the door and kill the enemy. ”

Someone next to him lit incense and inserted it under the simple lintel of the fence door.

Even though Lin Lian's momentum was so strong, Zhao Qinmin was still worried that Chen Zhi would order a strong attack. Seeing that there was a gloomy look on his face, Lin Jian chuckled and whispered: "Chen Zhi doesn't dare to attack, Wang Xueshan wants to kill you, why bother to come with a knife and a gun?" It's just a matter of leaving things to chance. ”

Zhao Qinmin gave Lin Jian a thorough word, and instantly figured it out. He is also a very smart person, but everything is about himself, which makes him mess up, and some of the tricks are far less thorough than Lin Lian's. Wang Xueshan poured sewage on him and planted false accusations, which only reduced the credibility of him standing up and testifying against Wang Xueshan's crimes; If Wang Xueshan openly robbed people with chaotic orders and fought with prison guards and homeless people, it would be far more appropriate to leave others with the argument that he was a thief with a weak heart; However, the Jiangning Prefecture issued a sea fishing document, knowing that Zhao Qinmin was at the mouth of the river, and he had no choice but to come over to arrest him.

Chen Zhi brought so many people here, but he hoped to scare this side, but he couldn't be scared, of course Chen Zhi didn't dare to rush hard, but gave this side a momentum to suppress.

Chen Zhi was shocked, he didn't know whether it was better to retreat or hold on for a while, the soldiers and horses in front of the fence gate were also weak-hearted, Lin Jian broke his hands and feet on the street last night, many of them saw it with their own eyes, and they were really afraid that he would make a pig's head three tempers, and no matter whether Chen Zhi gave an order or not, someone began to sneak out of the field, at least to avoid the direction pointed by the arrow.

The incense was halfway burned, Chen Zhi had not yet ordered a retreat, and the field in front of the fence was half vacant, so it was hard to imagine that Chen Zhi could lead them to attack it by force.
