Chapter 37: The Trapped Beast
(The first update, ask for a red ticket)
Lin Tie led the Jiangdong Left Army to return to Chongzhou, that is, slaughtered Guangjiao Temple on suspicion of bandits, killing more than 200 monks, under the deliberate control of Lin Tie, the news was delayed until the night of the 19th before reaching Jiangning......
Extravagant Feihu seemed to be a beast trapped in a cage in Jiangning, his ears and eyes were closed, and he only learned the news of the fall of the Guangjiao Temple stronghold from the official Tang copy, and the whole person was like an angry trapped beast, resentful and angry.
Originally, there were three groups of people who monitored the residence of Hao Feihu in Jiangning, namely the Jiangning Garrison Military Office, the Jiangdong Inspectorate and the Nancheng Lieutenant, and now there is another group of hidden piles of the Jianghuai Governor's Mansion.
Qin Zitan hurried back from outside, obviously feeling that the hidden piles monitored outside had increased a lot more than before. Before he entered the backyard, he had already heard the wind and rain inside, and there were still blood stains on the steps outside the corridor that had not been cleaned up, and he looked at the steward in the courtyard suspiciously.
"A maid who doesn't open her eyes, spilled the tea, and wasted a well......" The steward said lightly, but his eyebrows were locked with worry, and he didn't dare to enter the house at this time to persuade the little marquis who was almost out of control.
Qin Zitan sighed lightly, at this time, he couldn't find an excuse for the county secretary to go into the yard to search, and he killed someone by mistake, so he could only throw it in the well and dispose of it urgently. They still don't know how Cihai's side showed flaws, and they don't know whether the young lady and young lady escaped in time, but there is really little hope.
Lin Jian will do it as soon as he returns to Chongzhou, even if he escapes in time, there will not be many guards around him, how can he pass through the blockade of the Jiangdong Left Army and return to Jiangning?
For the young lady and young lady, maybe it will be better if it falls into the hands of Lin Lian.
Qin Zitan thought in his heart, and listened to another chaotic noise coming from the room, as if it was Yu Feihu smashing the table and stool on the wall. He is also a little angry and out of control, so he still has to persuade the little Hou Ye to calm down, otherwise they won't be able to do anything in Jiangning.
Qin Zitan pushed open the door, and a strong wind rushed over, subconsciously flashing his head, a corner stool smashed over his ear, the guard behind him couldn't dodge, smashed his head and broke the blood, he didn't dare to say a word, and helped others down to bandage their wounds.
"Young Marquis, it's me." Qin Zitan said.
Extravagant Feihu's eyes were red, bloodshot, and his hair was scattered, as if he had gone crazy, and the saber in his hand had already slashed and cracked for him, and the room was beyond sight. Seeing Qin Zitan come in, Hao Feihu calmed down a little, shook his hand and inserted the knife into the wall, stared at Qin Zitan with his eyes, and said, "You say: How can you rescue people?" ”
Qin Zitan sighed lightly in his heart, knowing that Luxury Feihu had already decided that the young lady and the young lady had fallen into the hands of Lin Lian.
Lin Lian's submission to the Jiangdong County Division and the Governor's Mansion did not mention that the young lady and young sister fell into his hands, as if the young lady and young lady had evaporated from the world and did not exist at all, he wanted to save it, but how to save it?
Last autumn, they used Shujiazhai as bait to trap and kill Lin Tie, or he led Taihu Lake to attack Xisha Island, killing thousands of people and cutting off Fu Qinghe's arm; Later, Lin Tie also killed and injured thousands of Donghai Kou under Jiyang City.
This time, it was the eldest prince who led the Donghai Kou to capture Chongzhou City, slaughtering thousands of people and destroying the city.
As soon as Lin Jian returned to Chongzhou, he slaughtered Guangjiao Temple, killed more than 200 monks, and uprooted the dark stakes laid by the luxury family in Chongzhou in one fell swoop.
Compared with saving people, Jin An's side may not want the news of the young lady and young lady trapped in Chongzhou to leak out; Unless the combat power accumulated by the eldest prince in the counties of Changguo can uproot the Jiangdong Left Army in one fell swoop, it is not appropriate to organize a second large-scale offensive against Chongzhou.
At this time, instead of rushing to save people, it is more important to find out the details of Lin Tie and the Jiangdong Left Army.
The Hao family's careful arrangements in Chongzhou for many years were almost wiped out on the first day that Lin Jian led the Jiangdong Left Army back to Chongzhou, so that they delayed for two days to know the latest news. This is by no means an accident, which shows that Lin Lian's power in Chongzhou is not limited to Xisha Island.
This shows that Lin Tie knew Chongzhou well before leading the Jiangdong Left Army back to Chongzhou, which exposed an extremely dangerous sign - it may have been Lin Tie who led the Jiangdong Left Army to garrison Chongzhou and use Chongzhou as the source of pay, but Chongzhou's civil and government affairs are still controlled by the civilian system and local forces, and at this time it is very likely to evolve into a situation in which Lin Tie fully controls Chongzhou.
Seeing Lu Feihu like this, Qin Zitan didn't know how to explain the powerful relationship to him clearly......
"Why, do you think people can't be saved?" Seeing that Qin Zitan had been silent for a long time, he lost patience and asked.
"Young Marquis, listen to me, this matter is not so simple...... Qin Zitan said.
"Don't tell me anything about the little things, don't tell me about any big plans......" Luxury Feihu suddenly said angrily, waving his sleeves to prevent Qin Zitan from speaking, his bloodshot eyes stared at Luxury Zitan, and he smashed the wall with a vicious fist, his flesh was bleeding, and he closed his eyes in pain.
***********
Chen Yuan was originally Li Zhuo's residence in Jiangning, Li Zhuo was transferred to Yanjing, and Yue Lengqiu and Cheng Yuqian arrived in Jiangning almost at the same time. Yue Lengqiu took the first step to occupy Chen Yuan as the temporary residence of the Jiang Zhun Governor's Mansion in Jiangning.
When Lin Lian's submission came back from Chongzhou, Yue Lengqiu happened to be in Jiangning to convene the county divisions to coordinate the suppression of bandits, otherwise it would have to be delayed for another day, only to know that Chongzhou had given Lin Lian full control.
The officials of Chongzhou slaughtered cleanly, and at this time, Wu Meijiu, who joined the army by the Sikou of Hailing Mansion, temporarily replaced the county governor of Chongzhou.
On the first day of Lin Lian's arrival in Chongzhou, he slaughtered two or three hundred monks of Guangjiao Temple in the name of gangsterism. He couldn't even expect Hailing Mansion to put pressure on Lin Bin.
Obviously, Lin Lian's full control of Chongzhou will only damage the interests of the local forces in Chongzhou, and give the Jiangdong Left Army a firm foothold in Chongzhou, and the entire Hailing Mansion will be protected by the Jiangdong Left Army, and there is no need to worry about the threat from the East China Sea Kou in the southeast sea - sacrificing the interests of the local forces in Chongzhou County is beneficial to Hailing Mansion as a whole, so it can be expected that Hailing Mansion will not strongly oppose Lin Lian's full control of Chongzhou.
Although at this time, he had to use the Jiangdong Left Army to resist the threat from the East China Sea Kou or the luxury family from the sea, but Yue Lengqiu hoped that the Jiangdong Left Army and the East China Sea Kou could both lose and consume each other, and did not want to see Lin Jian lead the Jiangdong Left Army to take root in Chongzhou, and even use Chongzhou to continue to grow their power.
After receiving the letter sent by Lin Jian from Chongzhou, Yue Lengqiu urgently invited Wang Tian, the envoy of Xuanfu, to the mansion.
The Jiangdong Left Army was stationed in Chongzhou, and Lin Jian was appointed as the supervisor of Jinghai Capital, and the coastal frontier near the mouth of the Chongzhou River was used as the defensive direction, which was determined by the central center and the military department. Before the threat of the Donghai Kou was lifted, Yue Lengqiu, as the governor of Jianghuai, nominally had the right to control the Jiangdong Left Army, but in fact he did not have the authority to publicize and mediate, not to mention that there was a Gu Wuchen in the middle.
This situation was brought about by Tang Haoxin and Li Zhuo's joint efforts, Yue Lengqiu's first appointment as the governor of Jianghuai, he was far from being able to grasp the situation in Jiangdong, and naturally he could not break the situation set up by Tang Haoxin and Li Zhuo, what he urgently needed to do now was to limit the excessive expansion of Lin Xuan's power in Chongzhou.
Local affairs are divided into three systems, military administration, supervision, and civil affairs.
According to the fact that the Inspectorate was under the control of Gu Wuchen, Xiao Xuanchou had not succeeded in ascending to the throne, and Yue Lengqiu could not make up his mind from this aspect.
The military and political affairs were divided into the township army and the township army, and the Jiangdong Left Army belonged to the township army.
Wu Meijiu led the 2,000 soldiers and horses that rushed to the aid of Chongzhou as the government army, but Wu Meijiu had already retreated, and in the submission to Hailing Mansion and the county divisions, he took the initiative to ask for a transfer from Chongzhou, Yue Lengqiu knew that it was impossible to use Wu Meijiu to suppress Lin Bin.
The Ninghai Zhenshui Battalion had a garrison in the military cottage, but Lin Tie directly participated in the impeachment of the Ninghai Zhenshui Battalion's garrison in Chongzhou for fearing the enemy and avoiding war, being adjacent to the monks of Guangjiao Temple for several years, having close contacts, and suspicious movements, so he almost directly detained the charge of gangsters on the head of the Ninghai Town Water Camp and Xiao Taoyuan.
The tone of Lin Bin's impeachment submission was also quite unkind, claiming that he had lost trust in Ninghaizhen's garrison in Chongzhou, and that before the Ministry of War and the Governor's Office sent personnel to check his innocence, the Jiangdong Left Army and Ninghaizhen's garrison in Chongzhou were stationed next to each other, and had to be prepared for wartime.
To put it bluntly, Lin Jian wanted to rely on the Jiangdong Left Army to have a large number of troops in Chongzhou, and he wanted to monitor the garrison of Ninghai Town in Chongzhou.
Xiao Tao learned the news a little earlier in Jiyang, where could he stand this kind of anger, but he couldn't help the Jiangdong Left Army, and the person he sent to Jiangning to complain was already in the governor's mansion.
Of course, Yue Lengqiu knew at this time that Lin Lian was actually more tricky and difficult to deal with than Gu Wuchen, Lin Lian had military power, and he didn't play cards according to the rules. Everyone is on the chessboard, calculating, calculating, calculating, this swineherd has a temperament but dares to overturn the chessboard, for the small Xihe Club even dares to support troops to force Shandong, how to deal with him with ordinary means?
Of course, Yue Lengqiu wanted to support Ning Haizhen and Xiao Taoyuan, but he was also passive and had a headache.
As soon as Lin Jian arrived in Chongzhou, he slaughtered Guangjiao Temple and killed more than 200 monks, but the evidence was really conclusive, so that the Governor's Mansion and the county department had to support him in clearing the bandits in Chongzhou, Yue Lengqiu was worried that Xiao Taoyuan and Ninghai Town Water Camp really had something to hold in his hands - Yue Lengqiu had just arrived, where could he know whether Xiao Taoyuan and Ninghai Town Water Camp were innocent? Even Jiang Ning and the luxury family secretly frowned, and there were not a few officials in front of them.
If Lin Bin's impeachment submission was only sent to the Governor's Office, Yue Lengqiu would have suppressed it, but Lin Bind used the authority of the Jinghai Metropolitan Envoy to copy a copy of the impeachment submission and send it to the Ministry of War. If Yue Lengqiu wants to support Xiao Taoyuan and the Ninghai Town Water Battalion, he has to personally explain to the military department for Xiao Taoyuan and the Ninghai Town Water Battalion. In the future, if there is really any change between Xiao Taoyuan and Ninghai Town Shuiying, Yue Lengqiu will naturally be implicated.
Yue Lengqiu stood indoors pacing, his eyes were filled with tears from the candle smoke, and he kicked the candlestick in his hand over, sparks splashed everywhere, and reprimanded his subordinates: "Where did you buy the candlestick, how much money did you share privately?" Or do you want the smoke to blind me? ”
Song Bozheng walked into the courtyard, and when he heard Yue Lengqiu's uncalm takedown, he knew that Lin Lengqiu's actions when he first arrived in Chongzhou made Yue Lengqiu quite passive.
Song Bo didn't know that his sister Song Jia and Hao Mingyue were imprisoned in Chongzhou for Lin Mingyue, and he came to say goodbye to Yue Lengqiu. He is a son of the Song family in Jin'an, and it is impossible for him to gain Yue Lengqiu's trust to work in the Governor's Mansion. Instead of being a caged bird, it is better to resign from your official position and live a few years of leisure.
Song Bo wanted to take this opportunity to seriously visit the Jianghuai Prefectures and inspect the terrain and people's conditions in Jianghuai.
At this time, the porter came in and reported that Xuanfu had made Wang Tian come over, and Song Bo stepped aside.
He was just an insignificant member of the small officials, and he couldn't disturb Yue Lengqiu to meet Wang Tian, thinking that Yue Lengqiu could probably only use the Xuanfu Envoy to send strong county magistrates, county officials, county lieutenants and other official seals to Chongzhou to restrain Lin Lian's power in Chongzhou was too inflated.
Seeing that Yue Lengqiu was so anxious, Song Bo also dispelled the idea of saying goodbye to Yue Lengqiu in person, returned to his temporary residence in Jiangning, and planned the next trip.
