Chapter 98: Disposal after Stay

Jin'an City is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but after the capture, the terrain in the city is easy, except for the staggered rivers, there are not too many complex terrain that can be stubbornly resisted by the remnants, a team of pawns will be dialed into the city, the streets and alleys are closed, and the remnants of Fujian who have not been removed are searched along the streets.

The faces of those who were abandoned in the city for the luxury family were filled with fear, resentment, and resentment through the cracks between the doors and windows......

The governor of Zhejiang and Fujian in Luwenzhuang had searched inside and out several times to ensure that there was no danger before welcoming Lin Jian and the others to enter.

The plaque of "Governor of Zhejiang and Fujian" was taken off and thrown aside, and the place where the plaque was originally placed under the eaves left a deep imprint, Lin tied his sleeves, looked up and stared at the imprint for a while, and then said to Ye Junan, "Luxury, Wenzhuang is also thrifty in Jin'an, and this house will be the prefect's yamen in the future, and Zhao Qingshan asked him to find another house to ......."

Zhao Qingshan stood behind him and said with a smile: "The threat that Mindong is going to face is mainly from Jian'an Mansion, I still move to Jingxi, and the position of Jin'an City Guard is still called Chen Dingbang, which is also convenient for him to recupe......rate in Jin'an City."

"I'm afraid that after Chen Dingbang recovers from his injury, you are reluctant to let him relax in Jin'an," Lin Jian shook his head and smiled, "It's okay to arrange it like this for the time being, and I don't have the strength to fight Jian'an Mansion for a while......

Jiangning is in danger, and after taking the Jin'an Mansion, he can't go up along the Minjiang River in one go, and Lin Jian wants to leave Hu Zhiyong, Zhao Qingshan, and Ye Junan to preside over the military and political affairs of eastern Fujian.

Due to the shallow terrain of the coastal prefectures and counties such as eastern and southern Fujian, and at the same time it was necessary to maintain contact with Yizhou, control the Nanyang shipping lane, and deter Guangnan County, it was necessary to retain a strong naval division in eastern Fujian.

Lin Jian decided to establish the Eastern Fujian Camp on the basis of the Jinghai First Water Battalion and the Zuo Shiying Department of the Zhejiang-Fujian Xingying Army.

As the soldiers and horses of the Mindong garrison, Zhao Qingshan served as the commander of the marching army, and Chen Dingbang, Zuo Shiying, Song Yi and others were the deputy generals, responsible for the Mindong garrison and the military deployment of Jian'an Mansion in the upper reaches of the Minjiang River.

The number of marching troops was initially set at 25,000, including 10,000 sailors and 15,000 foot soldiers. The nearly 6,000 wounded and wounded soldiers left behind in the war in eastern Fujian will also be taken over by the eastern Fujian camp army after recuperating on the spot, so as to strengthen the combat strength of the eastern Fujian camp army.

Chen Dingbang was originally a general under the jurisdiction of the Infantry Division, born in the Eastern Fujian Army, and was also a general who was deeply trusted and relied on by Lu Jingyan in his early years. There are not many such generals directly under the jurisdiction of the Infantry Division, if it weren't for the arrow wound caused by Chen Dingbang when he led his troops to attack Jin'an City, Lin Jian would not be able to bear the pain of leaving Chen Dingbang to Zhao Qingshan.

Jian'an Mansion is located in the middle and upper reaches of the Min River, the terrain is relatively closed, in addition to the passage of the Min River, the other mouths from the east coast of Fujian to the west into Jian'an Mansion are in the mountains and mountains, which is not conducive to the passage of the army, and the luxury family will not easily give up the last piece of Jian'an Mansion in its foundation in East Fujian, and even take Jian'an Mansion as the root, and fight back along the Min River at any time.

After the war in eastern Fujian passed, the luxury family was finally able to gather the troops of Jian'an Mansion, even if it was less than 30,000, it would not be much worse.

Huaidong's deployment of troops in the lower reaches of the Minjiang River can not be too small, the relatively advantageous place is to go up from Zhuqi and Jingxi, and the mountains along the Minjiang River, as long as the waterway of the Minjiang River is blocked in the downstream, it can block the offensive that may come from Jian'an Mansion, which is also the fundamental reason why Lin Jian wants to take Jin'an City first.

In the early stage, Lin Jian also sent the Quanzhou army of the Song family and Zuo Shiying's troops to capture Zhuqi and Jingxi, and at this time, he also used the soldiers of the first water battalion to take over Jin'an City, so as to reduce the time for the adjustment of soldiers and horses.

The former Jinghai No. 1 Water Battalion, including two "Lin Zhengjun-class" warships and four "Jinhai-class" warships, as well as some warships and the generals who accompanied the ships, will be incorporated into the No. 2 Water Battalion under Ge Cun's trusted command to strengthen the strength of the No. 2 Water Battalion.

Next, the center of gravity of the competition in the East China Sea is in the north rather than in the south, and Huaidong's limited military budget cannot be used to expand the naval army indefinitely.

Although it is necessary to retain a strong naval division combat strength on the southern front as a threat and liaison, the actual threats that can be encountered on the sea surface of the southern front are far from being compared with those on the northern front, and the second water battalion is the focus of Huaidong's next strengthening.

As the largest river in the southeast, the Minjiang River has the characteristics of short flow and large drop, and the waterway from Zhuqi to the west has turbulent water rapids due to the water level drop, but the actual water level is not deep, which is not suitable for large warships to enter the battle.

The first water battalion will be supplemented with elite small and medium-sized warships, and the main warships will be drawn out to strengthen the second water battalion, which is naturally the proper meaning of the topic.

In addition to the strengthened Second Water Battalion, which returned north with Lin Tie, it was also the Chongcheng Army of the Left Army of the Infantry Division with Zhou Tong as the commander.

In the war in eastern Fujian, the Chongcheng army served as the main force to conquer Nantai Island and Jin'an City, which caused heavy casualties to the Chongcheng army, and Chen Dingbang was also wounded by arrows and had to stay in Jin'an to recuperate.

Lin Jian asked the Chongcheng army to strip off the wounded and the field medical battalion and take them over by the local government. In the future, these wounded soldiers will either be placed on the spot or received by the Mindong Xingying Army to strengthen the combat strength of the Mindong Xingying Army.

After the Chongcheng army lost its burden, the number of troops was reduced to less than 20,000, and it did not enter Jin'an Mansion, but directly withdrew to Nantai Island to rest and recuperate, ready to return north at any time.

Judging from the current tense situation, there is no possibility of the Chongcheng Army expanding to 30,000 in a short period of time.

In addition to the military deployment, Lin Jian appointed Ye Jun'an to know the affairs of the Jin'an government, and directly controlled and operated the core area of eastern Fujian on behalf of Huaidong; On top of Zhao Qingshan and Ye Junan, Hu Zhiyong was placed in Huaidong to make the right Changshi and the deputy envoy of the branch to govern the affairs of eastern Fujian, southern Fujian, and Yizhou, and to supervise the military preparation.

Lin Jian wanted to directly press the title of Xuanfu envoy or Xuanfu envoy to Hu Zhiyong in Eastern Fujian, but without the official issuance of Jiangning's edict or the edict of Emperor Yongxing, he pressed it hard, which seemed somewhat too unruly. The military and political affairs of the prefectures and counties in eastern Fujian were all taken over by Huaidong factions, and even if Hu Zhiyong did not have an official title, he would not be much of an obstacle for the time being.

***********

In the end, the defenders were more concerned about withdrawing more soldiers and horses and preserving them, rather than wreaking havoc on the city of Jin'an, including the Governor's Mansion of Zhejiang and Fujian, and the damage to the buildings in the city was not serious.

The defenders had to withdraw from the trails of Beifeng Mountain, and they had to flee through the mountains and mountains to Jian'an, and a large amount of baggage could not be carried, and even heavy armor and mules and horses were cumbersome.

After the capture of Jin'an City, the seizure was quite passable, and after the granary fire was extinguished, sixty or seventy thousand bags of grain, armor, iron and other materials were also snatched, and there were also considerable reserves that were not withdrawn in time for the luxury family, nor did they have time to destroy.

These are not as good as the newly acquired grain fields after the capture of Jin'an Mansion.

In the Mindong estuary basin between Zhuqi and Nantai Island alone, there are more than 1.4 million acres of Pingtian.

The luxury family withdrew a large number of people to the west, and Huaidong occupied these grain fields, without even considering the sentiment of the local remnants, including Xiapu, Luoyuan, Jiaocheng, Xing'an and other coastal counties, Huaidong suppressed the remnants of the eight surnames, and the public land that could be directly confiscated was expected to exceed 2 million mu.

Of course, in addition to the Song clan, there are also small clans like the Du clan in Mindong who finally chose to join Huaidong, and Huaidong cannot excessively infringe on their interests.

"There will be bad news coming from the north at any time, and I will leave northeastern Fujian at any time and return," Lin Jian led everyone into the house and sat down, and talked about the problem of the field system, "There are some things, it is best to set a tone first, Hu and Ye stay in eastern Fujian, and there is a basis ......for acting."

In addition to the fact that when Huaidong conquered eastern Zhejiang, the Ye family led by Ye Junan made great efforts to stabilize eastern Zhejiang, and Ye Junan had been by Lin Junan's side for a long time, and he had a deep understanding of many new policy ideas in Huaidong.

"Each family occupies a grain field with a limit of 500 mu, and it is allowed to divide the household into a family calculation, but if each household exceeds this amount, it will be purchased at the benchmark field price of two and a half years of harvest," Lin Jian said, "If the purchase is directly paid for in silver, this number is too large to be borne by the Huaidong Military Division; If the Huaidong Military Division indiscriminately sent Huaidong copper yuan to buy grain fields, the Song family was afraid that they would be the first to jump out and oppose ......"

"Song doesn't dare." Song Fu said.

The Song family occupies more than 2,000 hectares of grain fields in Quanzhou, and the field production in Yongtai County is not less than this amount.

When the price of Shitian is almost two and a half years of harvest as the benchmark, the price per mu of land is about ten stones of japonica rice based on the above-ripe fields with a yield of four stones per mu in eastern Fujian.

If Huaidong honestly buys grain fields from the Song family at this price, he will have to take out more than three or four million stones of grain or the equivalent of gold and silver, plus the large and small clans and wealthy families in Quan, Zhang, Xing, Jie, and other places, and the purchase of grain fields alone will be enough to make Huaidong bankrupt.

Of course, Huaidong can also forcibly promote the Huaidong copper yuan by force, but the result of indiscriminate distribution of the Huaidong copper yuan is that the Huaidong copper yuan is notorious and worthless from now on.

Reforming the land system and curbing wealthy households is a natural move of any emerging forces, but the means are strong and weak, and there are advantages and disadvantages.

In the past, Huaidong promoted the new policy in Hailing, Huai'an and other places, but only adopted some more moderate means to reduce rents, and there was no direct "land restriction".

Song Fu also wanted to see if Lin Jian had a better means.

"The prefecture and county should be involved in the purchase of land, but the leading role is still Huaidong Qianzhuang," Lin Jian said, "Zhou Guangnan should be able to go to Jin'an tomorrow." Qianzhuang will set up a special semicolon in Jin'an, which will be calculated as one thousand taels of silver as one share, and the principal shares of Qianzhuang will be used as the field payment and paid to the large households in eastern Fujian for the purchase of land. The concentrated grain fields will also be sold to the peasant households at the original price by the money bank, and the money will be charged into the money bank as the principal, and the military department will not make a profit from it. In this way, even if each family hands over the grain field, the number of shares in the money bank in their hands can correspond to the principal of the bank, and they do not have to worry about the loss of interests......

"It is said that Huaidong's ships are strong and strong, and as far as I can see, Qianzhuang is Huaidong's weapon." Song Fu said with a smile, it can be regarded as approving Lin Bin's disposal method.

The eight surnames of Mindong, except for the Song family, are all the targets of suppression, and the rest of the small clans and small households will all stare at the Song family.

The Song family has no ambition to secede, but it sits on hundreds of thousands of acres of grain land, and the majority of the tenants are Song people, which makes the Song family even if it has no ambition, it is also a hidden danger that is taboo for those in power.

Only by implementing the most thorough division of land in eastern Fujian can the Song clan's control over the clansmen be reduced to the weakest and no longer become a threat.

Of course, it was unwilling to ask the Song family to hand over so many fields for nothing, but with so many fields occupied, and so many Song clan people were supported on these fields, Song Fu himself was also very uneasy.

In this way, Lin Jian proposed to convert the land occupied by the Song family into a shareholding in Qianzhuang, as long as the Song family has no ambition to secede, the interests will not be damaged, and it can be regarded as a proper and skillful disposal, so that Song Fu cannot refuse.

Hu Zhiyong, Ye Junan, Zhao Qingshan and others all echoed the voice, Lin Jian mentioned this matter, mainly for the Song family, as long as Song Fu has no opinion on behalf of the Song family, it is naturally good for him, me, and everyone.

As far as the current main government affairs of eastern Fujian are concerned, the fields of the eight surnames of eastern Fujian except for the Song family are confiscated and confiscated as public land.

As for the disposition of the Song family, except for Song Yi as a deputy general to assist Zhuqi and Song Bo as a senator to assist Hu Zhiyong in handling the political affairs of eastern Fujian, other important members of the Song family headed by Song Fu will return north with Lin Jian and take up official positions in eastern Zhejiang, Huaidong and Xu Si respectively.

Lin Bin's attitude towards the Song clan is clear, he will not let the Song clan have the opportunity to take charge of Quanzhou or even Mindong alone, but he will not restrict the Song clan, eliminate the hidden dangers, everyone will feel at ease with each other, and the Song clan will be completely tied to the chariot of Huaidong.

Ye Junan stayed to preside over the political affairs of Jin'an, and his original position was replaced by Song Fu.

Since the beginning of the year, the luxury family has planned to withdraw the population to the upper reaches of the Minjiang River, leaving a large number of vacancies along the eastern coast of Fujian, and only in the Minjiang River estuary basin, that is, around Jin'an City, there is not much pressure on the newly relocated 100,000 households to settle in.

Next, the focus of Huaidong's work in eastern Fujian was to relocate military households and displaced households from Xusi and other places to the south through land and sea routes, and would also recruit people from Pingjiang, Danyang, northern Zhejiang and other places to cultivate in eastern Fujian, so as to consolidate the foundation of Huaidong's rule in eastern Fujian.

At night on the 8th, the news of the loss of Feihuang and the escape of Deng Yu into the deep mountains of Xiling came, and Lin Jian could not take into account the difficult reality that the army had only been resting for two days and that the morale and physical strength of the generals had not yet recovered, so he could only order the Chongcheng army to immediately board the ship from Nantai Island and return north.
