Chapter 67: The Old Story of Hong Ze

"Xianggong is the seventeenth oldest in the Lin family, and he also pretended to call the East China Sea Fox a sea colleague back then, and Miss Liu was the owner of the seventeenth village in Hongzepu back then, which is really a coincidence......" Xiaoman has been pregnant for nearly four months, and her lower abdomen is slightly bulging, but when she heard Liu Miaozhen talk about the past, she still looked naΓ―ve and yearning.

Liu Miaozhen has been making a living with her father and uncle in the water village since she was a child, and she is also a fisherman and a bandit, and she turned to the world, and the battle of Suining was called Lin Tie and fell off the horse, and the name shocked the world, and in the heyday there were hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, and he led an army alone, how can such a life experience not be wonderful?

Liu Miaozhen was granted marriage by Emperor Yongxing, and she had to be given the title of Mrs. Chenguo, even if she married Lin Jian as a concubine, Lin Jian did not let her give up being in charge of the army, her status was actually not under Gu Junxun in the main room, let alone Xiaoman, Liu Yueer, Su Mei, Sun Wenwan and the disgraceful Gu Yingsleeve and Shan Rou Neng-it's just that Liu Miaozhen's life was too legendary, so that Xiaoman, who had always had a bad relationship with Song Jia, couldn't be jealous in her heart. With her proud temperament, she has the intention of stammering in front of Liu Miaozhen, and when she has the opportunity to move around, she always looks forward to hearing more about Liu Miaozhen's past.

Liu Miaozhen said: "Compared with adults, Miaozhen's past is not worth mentioning......"

"That's too, over the years, I haven't suffered a loss; Back then, when he sent food and silver to Huaisi with his belt, how many of the military commanders had no opinion? But it's not enough for adults to be arbitrary. After two years combined, the adults have made all their personal fortunes, and the military commanders have been shocked. Song Jia said with a smile.

Liu Miaozhen has been in the camp all the year round, and she has developed a strong temperament early, regardless of her children's private affairs, she changes into women's clothes and sits with Xiaoman, she is also more heroic and less delicate on the frame, but when she heard Song Jia make such fun of her, she was also a little ashamed of her face.

Thinking about it, if it weren't for Lin Lian treating each other so sincerely, it would be difficult for the Huaiyang army generals to be so obedient, Liu Miaozhen was determined to marry Lin Lian as a concubine, and she also knew that the Huaiyang army's heart had fallen to Huaidong.

Lin Bin's such an atmospheric method also called her heart break - she was heartbroken by Lin Bin, but this kind of heart break is different from the private relationship between men and women, but it is entangled in Liu Miaozhen's heart, and it also makes her difficult to distinguish.

Xiaoman also knew that Liu Miaozhen couldn't talk about the shortcomings of her parents, and asked: "I passed by the outer hall before noon, and I heard from you that Shen Rong, the prefect of Weiyang, got together with Dong Yuan and didn't deal with Huaidong. It's strange to say, Shen Rong must take Huaidong as an opponent? ”

"Usually it's not a matter, but at this time, it makes others laugh," Su Mei chuckled, "Isn't it a short time for you to mention this matter?" ”

Liu Miaozhen said: "I guessed that the adults were making trouble inside, but I couldn't figure out the details, I didn't expect the adults to use such a clever trick to count many people......"

"Thinking about it, it's also Qin Chengbo's most wronged ......," Song Jia said with a smile.

"Alas," Su Mei knew the details of the incident best, and sighed, "Xianggong had the intention to stop this, so he wrote to Gu Gong twice at that time, but he didn't pay attention to it. It is also said that the imperial court parties are fighting endlessly and are fighting each other. Shen Rong also noticed that there was a change in Hongzepu back then, but he wanted to use Qin Chengbo as bait to lure Hongzepu Shuizhai into trouble in exchange for his personal merits. At that time, the soldiers and horses of Dongyang Mansion secretly assembled Shen Rong in Shiliang County - several coincidences prompted Xiang Gong to take the chestnut in the fire...... It was probably this incident that caused the gap between Xianggong and Gu Gong, and caused so many things later. ”

The grievances between the Lin and Gu families ended with Gu Wuchen's death and the destruction of the Qingzhou army, and it is also emotional to think about it - in the past, Gu Junxun is still in the main room today, that is, Gu Siyuan was recommended by Huaidong to return to Puzhi County after the filial piety period in March, and went to southern Zhejiang to do something beneficial to the people's livelihood.

Now that the soldiers and horses in Huaixi are not descendants, Dong Yuan came to be the commander, if he can't get the silver, how can he have prestige?

After deciding on the name, Song Jia and Su Mei no longer avoided Liu Miaozhen in many things, and Liu Miaozhen also knew many unknown secrets on the rise of Lin Jiao.

Speaking of the Hongzepu robbery, the Huaisi army took the opportunity to rise and swept the Central Plains, and Lin Jian also benefited a lot from it, laying the foundation for the rise from Jiangning - operating Prison Island and dealing with the Hongzepu chaos calmly, Lin Jian really fell in the eyes of Li Zhuo, who was the Jiangning military department and garrison general at that time.

In the ninth year of Chongguan, Yan Lu broke through the border of Koubian, and Li Zhuo had the intention to use Lin Binding, so he sent troops to the Inspectorate headed by Gu Wuchen at that time.

Lin Tie led the Jiangdong Left Army to the north, it seemed that Li Zhuo was looking for trouble with Gu Wuchen, it was a party dispute, and it was a mutual tilt, until the Jiangdong Left Army sprung up in Yannan, and the tacit relationship between Lin Tie and Li Zhuo over the years made people know that Li Zhuo's measures back then were a kind of big-mindedness and magnanimity.

It is not Gu Wuchen who really knows Lin Zhu's talent and uses his talent, it is Li Zhuo, but thinking about the Five Tigers of Eastern Fujian back then, Li Zhuo's wisdom and courage in employing people are rare in the world.

Liu Miaozhen smiled, speaking of grievances, Huaiyang and Huaidong are also entangled in grievances, she is determined to marry Lin Tie as a concubine, and the two sisters-in-law are strongly opposed, saying that Huaiyang can be attached to Huaidong, but she and Lin Tie are finally enemies of killing brothers.

During the Huaisi War, Huaidong was not a friend or foe, can you still resent Huaidong for not being kind enough to them - compared to the extermination of other families, it is Huaidong who really let them survive.

When he secretly went to Chongzhou and met Lin Lian, the grudge in Liu Miaozhen's heart completely disappeared. The grudge is gone, Liu Miaozhen also feels that Lin Tie has something extraordinary, but it is limited to this, what really makes people break people's hearts is the magnanimity shown by Lin Tie in dealing with Huaisi.

In the subtle and imperceptible, the Huaiyang army generals are looking to Huaidong, which is really not surprising - this is easy to say, but for thousands of years, how many people can achieve this level of forest binding?

Liu Miaozhen didn't know how much affection she had for Lin Tie, but she knew that Lin Tie made her heart break and completely agreed with Lin Tie's handling when it came to controlling Hong Zepu.

The Hongze embankment from Xiahuaikou to the mouth of the Baitang River has been under construction since last year, and the main embankment is made of mound of earth, and the menhirs are used as walls in key sections.

After the embankment was completed, nearly 10 miles of wetlands were created from the summer waterline to Puli, which was enough to house fishermen.

In response to the support of Weiyang salt merchants in Huaixi and the strengthening of control over the Hongzepu Lake area, Lin Jian decided to strengthen the Baitang River Inspection Department and appointed Zhu Ai as the Baitang River Inspector.

Zhu Ai also concurrently served as the commander of the Military Intelligence Department and joined the army, and at the same time, the Huaiyang Army transferred several generals who were familiar with Hongzepu to the Baitang River Inspection Division, and the Baitang River Inspection Department actually became an ad hoc agency of the Huaidong Army in charge of Hongzepu affairs.

Zhu Ai, born as a cowherd in Yandu County, stole and sold the owner's cattle in exchange for a coiled and ran to Chongzhou to exchange for Yandu to defend the seawall, and served as the most ordinary commander and industrial official of the military department, and later served as a Tuntian official, responsible for Tunzhai, showing extraordinary talent, and was transferred to Shanyang County as a county official a few years ago.

Lin Tie is determined to make Shanyang the heart of the Xu Si defense line, not only the materials of the Xu Si defense line are assembled in Shanyang, once Xuzhou is not guaranteed, Shanyang and Siyang on the north bank will become the last line of defense to defend Huai, and it is also the line of defense that must be protected, and in the fight with Huaixi for the control of Hongzepu, Shanyang is in the first line, and Shanyang's strategic position has far exceeded Huai'an City, the first county of Huai'an Prefecture.

At the beginning, Li Wei went out to know Shanyang, after Li Wei was transferred to Xuzhou, he couldn't find anyone else to hold this important position for a while, Lin Lian personally went north, and the Huaiyang Army was completely integrated into Huaidong, and Liu Miaozhen, who knew about the military affairs, became a military assistant that Lin Lian could trust.

During Lin Lian's absence in Xuzhou, Liu Miaozhen was also worthy of the important task of Xuzhou's military commander-in-chief, and Cao Ziang personally led Shanyang County and was responsible for the general logistics base of the Xusi defense line, and Zhu Ai was transferred to Cao Ziang as an assistant.

Since Cao Ziang is in Shanyang, the affairs of controlling Hong Zepu are naturally under his direct jurisdiction, and it is also appropriate for Zhu Ai to be transferred to inspect the Baitang River.

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

Huaidong's series of adjustments in Shanyang County, before Huaidong only did not levy fishing tax, at this time publicly posted a notice to officially reduce or exempt the fishing tax, but strengthened the collection and inspection of taxes in the waters of Huaihe Bay under the jurisdiction of Hongzepu Huai'an; Dong Yuan, who personally went to Haozhou in early March to greet the representatives of the Weiyang salt merchants, was naturally aware of these things.

It's one thing to be aware, Dong Yuan was so anxious when he was Tuntian at this time that he couldn't take care of Hong Zepu at all.

To compete with Huaidong for control of Hong Zepu, there must be ships, people and money, Dong Yuan lacks each of these three things, and he can only hope that Shen Rong will exert more strength. But Shen Rong didn't have any soldiers in his hands, so he couldn't be tough on Huaidong.

In order to raise money, Dong Yuan not only did not hesitate to deign to come to Haozhou to welcome the representatives of the salt merchants, in addition to taking the taxes of the three prefectures as collateral, he also wantonly recommended the sons of Weiyang scholars and salt merchants to serve in Huaixi, and even sold the public land obtained from the inventory to the salt merchants at a low price of one or two silver per mu to raise capital for raising troops and tuntian.

The northern region of Huaixi was devastated by the plague, and many gentry and countrymen were the key targets of the exile army.

However, after Chen Zhihu was appointed as Henan's envoy, the displaced people's army suffered a serious blow and collapsed, and although the Huaixi region was ruined, it was rare to restore peace for more than two years, and some refugees returned to their hometowns one after another, and the issue of land rights and land rights became complicated.

Huaidong awarded military merits with Tian, this way is very good, but Dong Yuan can't do it, and he can't do it.

When he first came to Huaixi, the generals below were not tamed, and he easily did not dare to arouse the fierce opposition of the local forces, and now he wanted to get the support of the Weiyang salt merchants, and he could not help but return the favor - any support was limited, the first amount of silver was 500,000 taels, which seemed like a lot, but it was not spent at all, in order to continuously raise silver from the Weiyang salt merchants, Dong Yuan knew that he had to make some goodwill expressions, that is, land.

As long as he could get the support of the Weiyang salt merchants, the local forces in the northwestern Huaibei region that were devastated by the war were very weak and not enough to scruple, and at the suggestion of Ding Zhiru and Chen Jingrong, Dong Yuan decided to take out the land in Huaixi to reward the Weiyang salt merchants in exchange for the firm support of the Weiyang salt merchants to gain a foothold in Huaixi.
