(The first watch, ask for red tickets, today's red tickets break 8,000, and the third watch will explode!) ）

The East China Sea Fox occupies Changshan Island, and Su Tingzhan has sent people to say that he can't surrender several times, and he is also an arrogant lord. Such a character, when the luxury family infiltrated and controlled the forces of the East China Sea in the past few years, they encountered far more than one or two, so they did not arouse much vigilance.

Occupy the island as the king, there is no big force to rely on, although it is hard and dangerous, licking blood at the knife's edge, but it is also happy and unrestrained, after all, few people are born willing to be slaves and are constrained by others - the initial infiltration and control of the Donghai Kou by the luxury family is mainly with the help of Su Tingzhan, and then the thirteen alliances of the Donghai Kou. After having a certain foundation, they will expose their minions and quietly purge the dissident forces, but there are also three or four families who have never been tamed, and they can't fight here, so they either go south or continue to the deep sea to the east to find an island to gain a foothold - the luxury family can't do this.

Luxury Feihu and Qin Zitan are not without considering the possibility of collusion between Changshan Island and Chongzhou, but the East China Sea Fox appeared in the East China Sea earlier than Lin Tie rose in Jiangning, in addition, in terms of the current situation, the possibility of the East China Sea Fox abandoning the luxury family and secretly attaching to the Jiangdong Left Army is also very small.

At the beginning of October, the southeast and northwest monsoons alternate with each other, which is complicated and unpredictable, but Changshan Island is located less than 300 miles on Daheng Island, and when waiting for the tailwind, it sails and sails, and it is enough to rush between day and night.

The scouts who sneaked to Yudong to cross the river to reconnoiter confirmed that the main force of the Jiangdong Left Army's boat division had indeed returned to Jiangmen to recuperate, so he gathered the reinforcements brought to Daheng Island this time and part of the troops defending the island of Su Tingzhan's department, nearly 100 large and small sea ships, plus oarmen, with more than 6,000 troops, and swooped down on Changshan Island with a thunderous force.

Such a force, even if it meets the main force of the boat division of the Jiangdong Left Army at sea, it has the strength to fight.

Once you land on Changshan Island, you can strongly oppress the East China Sea Fox forces occupying Changshan Island and bow your head - even if the East China Sea Fox does not bow its head and attack an isolated island with 6,000 elites, it is not easy to do so, and after quickly occupying Changshan Island, the main force can take advantage of the wind to go south to support the war in eastern Zhejiang.

The sea after late autumn is like a tame lake, the sun at noon on October 11 hangs dazzlingly in the middle of the sky, the sea water is blue like jade, there are no clouds, it is a good battlefield for conquest and killing, nearly 100 warships are arranged into two columns to move forward, the front and back are connected with four or five miles long, and it looks like the Great Wall on the sea from a distance.

Standing on the deck of the ship, he could lead such a fleet to attack the island, and he couldn't help but give birth to the heroic spirit that I have in the world.

When Changshan Island showed a black shadow in the distance, a shuttle sentinel appeared in view. Before the clipper was sent to chase after it, a cloud of black wolf smoke rose from the sentry ship, which was so bright and dazzling in the sea and sky.

"The East China Sea Fox is not simple, but it is not easy to think of piling up beacon fire and wolf smoke on the sentry ship to warn...... We must learn this method, and we can warn at least an hour in advance at sea. Hao Feihu looked at the sentinel ship fleeing in the direction of Changshan Island, and said in a relaxed tone to Qin Zitan and his eldest brother's subordinates who sent him to rescue Daheng Island but forcibly invited him to attack Changshan Island.

At this time, Changshan Island only exposed the tip of the island, there are almost forty or fifty miles of sea route, look at the wind, it will take two hours to arrive, but to prevent the sea battle of the East Sea Fox on Changshan Island, this side also has to change some ship formation, make some preparations, luxury Feihu is not good at water warfare, he said to Yu Wenshan: "This matter will be handed over to you......" He returned to the cabin to recuperate, waiting to Changshan Island to personally command the landing operation.

Who didn't notice that in the sea to the west of the fleet, there were two fishing boats moored, and after seeing the wolf smoke rising into the sky, they quickly hoisted their sails and headed west.

About an hour and a half later, almost 100 miles away from the raiding fleet led by the flying tiger, the two fishing boats at the same time ripped off their camouflage, ignited the wolf smoke in the cabin, and quickly transmitted the military information back to Jiangmen one after another.

****************

When the military information of Shengsi's enemy slammed down on Changshan Island was transmitted to Jiangmen, the sunset was shining on the golden waves of the river, Lin Jian sat on the sand bank, casually wiped the swaying knife edge with a silk cloth, and looked at the wolf smoke rising in the blue sky in the sea in the distance, which was a little dazzling when the sea and sky were in the sky.

There must have been scouts lurking in the left and far from the East China Sea, and Lin Jian thought to himself: I don't know what kind of judgment these scout sentries will make when they see the wolf smoke that rises into the sky. In any case, when these sentries send the news of the dispatch of the army from this side back to Daheng Island, and then Dahengdao will send ships to catch up with the ship that pounced on Changshan Island, it will be after dusk tomorrow at the earliest.

Lin Jian put the knife into the sheath, stood up with his hand on the sand embankment, and ordered Zhao Qingshan and Ge Cunxiong who were standing on the left side: "With you two, immediately lead the first battalion of the Jinghai Battalion to attack Daheng Island, occupy the mouth of the northern bay of Jinji Mountain, clear out the remnants of the enemy on both sides of the strait, and create favorable conditions for the main force that I will arrive later to storm the Jinshan Chicken stronghold!" ”

Zhao Qingshan saluted, turned down the sand embankment, boarded the boat, and sailed to the first battalion fleet of the Jinghai Sea Battalion parked on the east side of Jiangmen Island.

The First Water Battalion Ship has always been in a state of preparation for war, but it has suffered little damage in the previous fierce battle on Daheng Island, and after returning to Jiangmen, it does not need any rest and recuperation, and has been in a state of preparation for war. Zhao Qingshan boarded the boat, made the herald wave the order flag to signal to this side, and then sent the order to dispatch, leading the first water battalion to pounce on Daheng Island again.

Lin Jian didn't go to the rescue of Changshan Island, for the luxury family, they had no shortage of soldiers, even if they rushed to Changshan Island to attack before and after, and defeated the enemy who pounced on Changshan Island, they couldn't make the luxury family hurt their muscles and bones, his goal was the Shengsi Islands!

As long as the stronghold of Daheng Island is conquered and the Shengsi Island chain is occupied, the passage of the East China Sea Kou into the northern sea can be relatively completely blocked, and the enemy of Daishan and Tushan can be threatened - occupying the advantage of strategic terrain, and the enemy trapped in Hecheng is just a mustard problem.

Lin Jian ordered Ge Cunxin, Sun Wenyao, Zhou Tong, Zhao Hu and others on his side: "With the four of you, immediately organize the generals of the Second Water Battalion, the third, fourth, and fifth sentinels of the Chongcheng Infantry Battalion and the soldiers of Zhuxiang to board the boat, complete the assembly before dark, without any delay, and follow me to Daheng Island...... "After Ge Cunxin, Zhou and others went to prepare, Lin Jian said to Ao Canghai, "If this battle goes well, you can also come out to lead the troops...... I want you to guard the Shengsi island chain, and I can't wait for revenge. ”

Ao Canghai nodded, saluted, and left the sand bank with a team of cavalry, galloping in the direction of Chongcheng.

In order to ensure that Daheng Island could be captured, in addition to the main forces of the two battalions of the Jinghai Sea Battalion, the third and fourth outposts of the Chongcheng Infantry Battalion were secretly transferred from the northern front.

The total strength of the sneak attack on Daheng Island reached more than 5,000 people, and most of the elite of Chongzhou were withdrawn, and in addition to the formation of the first water battalion fleet, the second water battalion was organized into a large number of civilian ships to transport soldiers.

Although it is said that ships will be sent to intercept the sentinels of the East China Sea Kou at sea, but in the vast sea, it is difficult for Lin Jian to guarantee how effective this interception will be.

Once the enemy of Shengsi swooped down on Changshan Island—Lin Jian was almost certain that this enemy force would be led by Luxury Feihu himself to pounce on Changshan Island—and when he learned the news of the sneak attack on Daheng Island, there were only a few reactions he could make:

The first is to return to the aid of Daheng Island and fight a decisive battle with the Jiangdong Left Army on Daheng Island; First, when the main force of the Jiangdong Left Army sneaked up on Daheng Island, it turned to the mouth of the river and attacked Chongcheng and Zilang Mountain; The first is to run to the crane city, relieve the siege of the crane city, and after the combined army, pounce on Zilang Mountain from the northeast of Chongzhou.

Lin Tie needs to leave enough containment troops in Chongzhou, in addition to the first outpost of the Chongcheng infantry battalion, the second outpost and the cavalry battalion, so that Ao Canghai led the personal guard battalion to stay, once the enemy on Changshan Island raided Chongzhou, they must at least with the cooperation of the people, and drag the timing of the decisive battle until Lin Tie led the main force back to Chongzhou.

**********

Donghai Kou didn't want to fight a general battle on the northern front, and Lin Jian didn't want to fight a general battle, and the Jiangdong Left Army at this time did not have the conditions to fight a general battle, but there was no way, the situation was like this, and it had to be fought hard.

Four days ago, they attacked Daheng Island and cleared out the camp and fort of the East China Sea Invaders at the mouth of the bay at the northern foot of the Jinji Mountain stronghold, sinking and burning more than 70 enemy ships and annihilating nearly 1,000 enemy troops.

Nearly 400 casualties, not to mention him, the Jinghai Battalion had 26 warships seriously damaged in this battle. There were twelve ships that sank at the mouth of the bay and were forced to scuttle on their return, including two Jiyun-class ships.

In addition, one Jinhai-class warship and two Jiyun-class warships were towed into the dock with ten other small and medium-sized warships, and it took a long time to repair them before they could be regrouped into the water camp.

The last batch of new warships in the Jinghai Battalion were almost consumed in this battle, and the scale of such a water battle was actually not very large.

In the future, once the strategy of encroaching on eastern Zhejiang is successfully implemented, although they are at a disadvantage in terms of warships at sea, they can quickly drag down the Jinghai Sea camp by fighting for quantity and consumption.

If it hadn't been for the requisitioning of a large number of civilian ships at Guanyin Beach this time, Lin Jian might not even be able to gather the ships that transported 5,000 troops to attack Daheng Island this time.

The battle of the conference has never been so easy to fight, and Lin Jian does not know how many troops he can draw out after this battle to go north without resting and recuperating to fight again.

The situation in the north has become tense again, and this year's Donghu movement is a little later than last year's, but according to the letter sent back by the sentinels, the Donghu people, including many Liaodong Han people who had previously been attached to Donghu, have been encouraged by the fact that they broke through the pass and entered the Kou and reaped a great harvest last year, and they have all actively asked to be incorporated into the Donghu army to enter the pass to rob and make a windfall -- the advance troops of the Donghu have already arrived in Linyu, Xuanhua, and other places.

Li Zhuo's time in charge of Jibei Town is still short, and when he was the secretary of the military department, the Jibei army was very chaotic, and it was controlled by Hao Zongcheng, and in five or six months, the Jibei army was just able to sort it out, and it has not been tested by actual combat, and it is difficult to say that it has achieved great results - at the end of September, Li Zhuo sent a messenger to ask this side to prepare for the north.

Lin Jian smiled bitterly in his heart, the battle in Chongzhou may not be smooth, he may not be able to draw out a single soldier at that time, and the trend of the war situation in eastern Zhejiang is not clear at this time.

Encouraged by the great victory in Chongzhou, Quan Ciqing also launched an autumn and winter offensive to regain lost territory in eastern Zhejiang, and Lin Jian recently received good news that on the 9th, the soldiers of the two Zhejiang counties conquered Cen Gang, the last land base of Donghai Kou in Mingzhou, and the naval division of eastern Zhejiang went to sea to surround Meishan in the sea north of Changguo, and occupied a foothold in Longshan on the main island of Changguo, intending to attack the main island of Changguo with all their strength after completely destroying the enemy in Meishan......

The Donghai Kou in the area around the main island of Changguo were very weak, but after the Jiangdong Left Army rushed to Daheng Island, Lu Feihu was able to transfer four or five thousand Kou soldiers from Tudai and other islands to help, which shows that the Donghai Kou were far from doing their best in the early stage of the war in eastern Zhejiang-once there was any change in eastern Zhejiang, Lin Lian still couldn't draw troops to help.

************

After Lin Jian was exempted from Dingkou's taxes, forced labor, and capitation in Chongzhou, there was no need for the local government to conceal Dingkou, and a large number of displaced households were able to surface, and Chongzhou County had 200,000 registered Dingkou, which was already a large county with a large population in Jiangdong County. When a large number of displaced households surfaced, the preliminary liquidation of Dingkou has exceeded 320,000, and the actual Dingkou is even more. Such a result really frightened people, and the county government with many mountains and few lands has only three or four hundred thousand people in one place.

With Chongzhou's 300,000 or 400,000 Dingkou, the northbound displaced people account for a considerable proportion, and an inventory of the land can also determine that the land in Chongzhou far exceeds the 1.5 million mu of fertile land in Chongzhou.

It can be said that Chongzhou's war resources have considerable potential to be tapped, but no matter how great the potential is, it will take time to dig up.

The Jiangdong Left Army had just laid its roots in Chongzhou, and the time was still too short, and there was no savings, and the foundation was still very thin, and it took a long time to accumulate the stable supply of war materials such as warships and armor and the training of reserve soldiers.

Lin Jian is almost chasing time now, and on the day that the Kou soldiers captured the Hecheng Fortress, the people who built the new city did not even stop working and leaving the construction site.

Corresponding to this, silver flowed out like water.

When Lin Jian led the Jiangdong Left Army into Chongzhou, he still had three or four hundred thousand taels of silver in his hand. In addition to obtaining a large amount of tuntian, the temple property was directly cleared, and tens of thousands of taels of silver were also obtained. The family is extremely rich, but at this time, in addition to gritting his teeth and squeezing out 80,000 taels of silver as the starting capital for dredging and transporting the salt river, in addition to 100,000 taels of silver as military funds, he must not be moved lightly, and the savings obtained by King Qin in the north are also empty - the inner government has also accumulated nearly 100,000 silver, and if it is really used, it will not last long.

When the war in Chongzhou was basically over, the pension was a large expense.

If he could, Lin Jian would prefer to lead his army to attack the enemy on Changshan Island together, which would be more secure. Although the chance of seizing Daheng Island has become slim, there is no need to worry about Chongzhou being attacked on the back road - but the situation in eastern Zhejiang is unclear, and there may not be such a good chance of seizing Shengsi Islands in the future.

This risk must be taken, otherwise for a long time, it will not be possible to gain a strategic advantage over the terrain and the East China Sea.

Lin Jian patted his forehead lightly, leaving the worries in the future for the future, for now he is going to take Daheng Island desperately, and win one more point for the Jiangdong Left Army in the future world changes!
