(Happy New Year's Day, happy New Year's Day, brothers, updated on time at 0:00!) Ask for a red ticket, give me the first red ticket of the new year! ）

Sail south from Jiaozhou Bay, in order to avoid the wind and waves, close to Hainan.

The sea area south of the Huaihe estuary is the Yellow Water Ocean, the Huaikou is similar to the river estuary, there are many sandbanks, but the scale is slightly smaller, and the water in this sea area is turbid and shallow. The boat people hired from Chongzhou and Denglai were not very familiar with the water conditions in Huaikou, and when they looked at the land several miles away, the "Jinhai" folded two pairs of rudders when it crossed this sea area, and then used three thousand-stone boats to measure the depth with a lead hammer in front of it, and only then did it barely pass.

It took a day to cross the Huaikou, and it was not until the 15th that I saw Changshan Island.

There are many sandbanks outside the estuary, but there are few bedrock islands, Changshan Island is quite easy to recognize, Lin Jian stood on the deck, pointed to the direction of Changshan Island, and said to Sun Jingxuan and Sun Jingtang: "That's Changshan Island!" ”

The blue water ripples, the turbulent and undulating sea water is like a whole piece embedded in the heaven and earth, rippling with a huge jadeite, giving the wood-covered Changshan Island a blue-black, as if it is a point of the whole piece of jadeite, when the fleet passes, the birds on the island fly, passing from the sky above the fleet, black and pressing, as if a large rain cloud.

At this time, the Jinhai lowered its sails and slowed down, and the herald waved the signal flag and instructed the other ships to adjust their bows and turn towards the direction of the river mouth.

Lin Jian received a warning message from Fu Qinghe from Chongzhou in Qingzhou on 6 April, and about a little later, Beijing received a letter from Qingzhou about the closure of the Changyi mutiny and the attack on Chongzhou.

No matter how many undercurrents there are in the DPRK and China, the attack on Chongzhou means that Huaikou in the north is also threatened by the East China Sea Kou, and Huaikou is currently the main passage for grain from Jiangdong, Liangzhe, Jing, Hunan and Zhongzhou counties. The Ninghai Town Naval Division was insufficient, and it was imperative to transfer the Jiangdong Left Army to garrison Chongzhou to ensure the safety of Huaikou.

On the same night, the Changyi mutiny case was approved by the Imperial Review, and an official letter was sent to the Ministry of War to transfer troops, and he arrived in Qingzhou on 9 April.

There was also a slight change in Lin Bin's official position, from the official envoy of Jiangdong County to the supervisor of Jinghai Prefecture.

On the night that he received the letter from Fu Qinghe from Chongzhou, Lin Jian sent messengers to contact the Jiangdong Left Army scattered everywhere to assemble in Jimo and prepare to return to Chongzhou. In addition to leaving a sentry elite and a total of about 400 generals who were still recuperating in Jinhai under the control of Sun Shangwang, Ning Zechen led 600 elite soldiers to arrive in Jimo on the 11th, joined Lin Tie, and set off to return to Chongzhou.

It was also on the day that Lin Jian set sail from Jimo, Li Zhuo officially served as the secretary of the military department and the governor of Yan Ji with the title of the right capital imperial history, and the garrisons of Ninghe, Jizhou, Jinhai and Linyu were all under his jurisdiction.

If this move is to draw 40,000 soldiers and horses from Datong and Xuanhua Towns to strengthen Jizhen, so that Jizhen can control more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, it is a substantial step forward in Li Zhuoping's strategic concept of "slowing down the map of western Liaoning and stabilizing Yanshan"; Also because of the need to alleviate the grain shortage in Gyeonggi, about 60,000 soldiers and horses were stationed in Ninghe, Jizhou, Jinhai and other coastal areas, and in fact a pattern of internal defense had been initially formed.

Li Zhuo patrolled Jinhai on the 12th, joined up with Hao Zongcheng, and took over the 20,000 Jizhen troops stationed in Jinhai.

Later on the 13th, Gao Zongting arrived in Qingzhou and met with Tang Haoxin.

Although the Dengzhou Army is directly under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Military Affairs and is under Li Zhuo's control, and has little to do with the Shandong locality, it is very difficult to make the Dengzhou Army's combat strength greatly improved in one or two years without the cooperation of the Shandong locality.

The split between Tang and Gu and Zhang and Yue provided convenient conditions for Li Zhuo to obtain Tang Haoxin's support in Shandong. Maybe Li Zhuo and Gao Zongting will regret that the internal rupture of the Chu Party came a little late, otherwise the situation in Jiangdong County could be a little better; However, the world is impermanent and does not depend on human will.

When Gao Zongting arrived in Qingzhou, Lin Jian was already at sea, and he couldn't see each other again in a hurry.

The change of Lin Bin's official position is naturally the credit of Li Zhuo's promotion behind the scenes, and of course, the credit of Hao Zongcheng is also included.

After the Qingzhou military mutiny, Lin Jian led the army to land, and the Jinhai and other ships directly bypassed the Shandong Peninsula to Jiaozhou Bay to transport grain north. More than 20,000 stone rice grains are not included in the grain plan of Jinhai Cang, and Lin Lian was assigned to the Jibei Army together, which can be regarded as a favor for Hao Zongcheng who did not prevent the Jiangdong Left Army from leaving Jinhai before.

Jiangdong is a civil official of the seventh rank according to the inspection envoy, and the envoy of the Jinghai capital is a civil official of the sixth grade, because the loose rank and title of Lin Jian are all from the fifth grade, the promotion of the official rank of the ministry seems to be of little significance, but in fact it is very different.

The capital supervisor is an official position developed from the supervision of the army, and it was not an informal official position at first, but an envoy temporarily entrusted to the military supervision in Beijing, in order to control the military generals, the position is small and powerful, and many xx are the supervisors.

Qingyu was restructured, and the post of the metropolitan supervisor was merged into the system of the Metropolitan Inspectorate, which was the official position of the county according to the official position of the Inspectorate, and together with the official position of the military garrison, the formal system of the civil minister and the military was formed, and the official title of the XX metropolitan supervisor was gradually eliminated.

The Metropolitan Supervisor is a formal official rank within the system of the Inspectorate and Envoy, and is a subordinate official, and all matters are under the jurisdiction of the Inspectorate and Envoy, usually under the direct leadership of the deputy envoy or the Minister.

Although the Jinghai Metropolitan Supervisor is only the sixth grade, he actually belongs to the same category as the envoy of the Zhengyin, such as the envoy of the inspection of the army, the envoy of Xuanfu, the governor of Xuanfu, the ambassador of Xuanfu, the envoy of the military of Guanjun, the envoy of the supervision of the army, the envoy of salt and iron, and the envoy of the capital and the transportation of the capital.

Although it is still controlled by the local county department or the governor's office, it is far different from the subordinate officials who are subject to the jurisdiction of everything, and the degree of freedom is much greater, and it can even directly bypass the county department or the governor's palace and hand the excerpts to the center; At the same time, it was controlled by the military department, which was also a foreshadowing for Li Zhuo to transfer the Jiangdong Left Army to the north to participate in the war in the future.

The official letter of the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of War also directly stipulated that the Jiangdong Left Army should take the sea frontier as the direction of defense, and on the basis of the 3,000 regular soldiers, part of the troops could be allocated to prepare for the construction of the water battalion.

Lin Jian will naturally not be limited by the 3,000 regular soldiers, the actual number of soldiers stationed on Jinwei Island is nearly 400, and there are more than 300 village soldiers selected from the people on the south bank of the Whirlpool River, and there are also more than 300 township soldiers who are controlled by Sun Shangwang.

Lin Jian finally decided to leave the four Qianshi sea ships in Jinhai, except for one to stay on Jinwei Island for backup, the other three Qianshi sea ships were all equipped with 60 armor guards and village soldiers, and more than 30 boatmen, sailors and miscellaneous servants, as escort warships and grain merchant ships, to provide escort protection for the fleet passing through the Liaodong Sea.

The fleet that went south with Lin Lian included three 5,000-stone ships including the Jinhai and nine thousand-stone ships including the Dongyang. Zhou Pu and Zhao Qingshan led about 1,200 soldiers from the cavalry battalion and the fifth battalion and nearly 1,000 Xihe congregants to return to Chongzhou by land, while Sun Jingtang, Sun Jingxuan and others led more than 500 congregants who were weak or had been injured in prison to return to Chongzhou by sea with nearly 3,000 people from the first, third, and fourth battalions of the Jiangdong Left Army.

********

When the fleet was gradually moving, Ge Cunxin instructed the shipwrights to raise the sails and adjust the bow of the ship, so that the Jinhai could sail directly to Changshan Island.

As the Jinghai Metropolitan Supervisor who takes the sea area as his defense, Lin Jian can even dispose of it with his authority without going through the Ministry of War and the Jiangdong County Division, and carry out a "secret surrender" to the Liukou on Changshan Island, and then send a letter to the Jiangdong Inspectorate, the Governor's Office, and the Military Department to report and pursue the reward.

Lin Jian always wants to use Changshan Island as a secret move, and he will not trust Yue Lengqiu at all, and the matter of Changshan Island is naturally "surrendered" from the right first, and the reported matter is thrown aside first.

The Jinhai sailed to Changshan Island, and naturally it also "surrendered".

In addition to Lin Bin, Cao Ziang, Ge Cunxin, Zhou Tong, Sun Jingxuan, Sun Jingtang and other Sun family members, the personnel on board the Jinhai were mainly the first battalion and two sentry soldiers led by Ao Canghai, and the boatmen and sailors were also the children of the boat owners brought out by the Ge family from Huaibei and their families moved to Changshan Island.

Different sand islands are surrounded by shallow tidal flats, as a bedrock island, Changshan Island has a small natural harbor on the southeast side for large sea ships to anchor and shelter from the wind, and the Jinhai anchors at the stone promontory on the east side of the bay, and there is a lookout post at the southern end of the promontory.

It is not the first time that the boatmen and sailors of Jinhai Island have docked at Changshan Island, and they greeted the sentinels in the lookout post from afar, Qin Chengzu led the people guarding the island on the shore to kneel on one knee, gave Lin Jian a big salute, and said: "It is a pity that the subordinates failed to follow the adults to the north to fight, and I am willing to saddle the horse for the adults in the future, and I hope that the adults will not dislike ......" is regarded as a formal subordinate self-proclaimed.

"Mr. Qin, what are you, why are you so outside?" Lin Jian hurriedly walked the boat board and landed on the shore, picked up Qin Chengzu from the ground, and asked everyone behind Qin Chengzu to stand up and speak, looking at a young man and Ge Cunxin's appearance, and the beard under his chin also grew into a curly string, and asked, "Are you the mixed river dragon Ge Yuan?" Ge Cunxin, who turned back to him, smiled and said, "Ge Yuan is more heroic than you!" ”

Ge Cunxin smiled, jumped ashore, patted his son on the shoulder, and scolded: "What are you doing stupidly, you don't salute adults!" ”

Lin Jian hugged Ge Yuan and said, "You and I can just treat each other, there are not so many hypocrisy and clichés to talk about......

Sun Jingxuan, Sun Jingtang, Sun Wenyao, Sun Wenwan and Zhou Tong, who followed the back ashore, looked at each other, didn't they come to accept Haikou, how could they be familiar like a family?

"These are Wuxian Zhou Tong, Xihe Sun Jingxuan, Sun Jing's cousin, and this is Jingtang's eldest son Wen Yao," Lin Jian introduced Zhou Tong, Sun Jingtang and others to Qin Chengzu and they met, and asked, "How is the situation in Chongzhou?" ”

On April 4, the Donghai Kou invaded Chongzhou, and Lin Jian got the news in Qingzhou on the 6th, and then got the news on the third day that the Donghai Kou attacked Chongzhou City, and then Lin Lian was at sea until today, which is the eleventh day of the Donghai Kou's invasion of Chongzhou. Changshan Island is about 300 miles away from Guanyin Beach, and about 150 miles away from Hecheng in the northeast of Chongzhou, so you can naturally know the latest information about Chongzhou.

Qin Chengzu shook his head and said: "In the name of Yuan Tingdong, the harrier of the East China Sea, the luxury family gathered more than 8,000 Donghai Kou to land in Langshan Mountain, so that 4,000 Kou and more than 60 warships were prepared for the army cottage and Xisha Island, and 4,000 Kou surrounded Chongzhou, broke through the south gate and entered on the night of the 8th, and on the 9th, 10th, and 11th, they slaughtered the city for three consecutive days, and withdrew their troops the day before yesterday......"
