(During the Spring Festival, the update is uncertain, or not, and I don't ask for leave in advance, please understand, brothers, I wish you a happy New Year, ask for one or two red tickets)

The ship approaching Dayangshan Island from the west is indeed the three sentinel boats of the Haiyu Township Battalion, the ship is close to the mouth of the bay on the north side of Dayangshan Island, and a middle-aged man wearing scale armor at the bow of the ship looked towards the cliff head and said loudly: "Dare to ask Lord Lin Lianlin, the envoy of Jinghai Prefecture, if you can be on the shore, Chen Huawen, the commander of Haiyu County and the commander of the Haiyu Township Battalion, is here to ask to see ......"

Chen Huawen is the younger brother of Chen Huazhang, the head of the Haiyu Chen family, and is the uncle of Chen Mingzhe.

Lin Jian motioned left and right, and led Chen Huawen ashore to negotiate.

Chen Huawen and Chen Mingzhe look quite similar, they are uncles and nephews who are close in blood, and it is difficult for others to pretend to be. Chen Huawen is over forty years old, with a thin face and narrow eyes, but his eyes are as bright as a torch, pacing and walking, with an extraordinary bearing.

Lin Lian smiled and asked, "Why did Lord Chen cross the sea to Dayangshan Island?" ”

"Lord Lin led the fleet to the sea, the little nephew Mingzhen saw it at the mouth of the Dongjiang River, and yesterday I saw the wolf smoke rise into the air here, guessing that Lord Lin was here to clear the pirates," Chen Huawen also looked at Lin Tie's eyes, he had heard of each other for a long time, but it was the first time he met, seeing Lin Tie's face was thin and cold, his eyes were calm, and he couldn't see how much killing air he had, and he was dressed in a military uniform, but he didn't hide his elegant atmosphere, but he wouldn't say good things about him in the mouth of the southeast scholar, no matter what, Lin Tie was the rank of the chief, Chen Huawen saluted, "The lower official led the team to help, Please don't be presumptuous. ”

Lin Lian looked at the three Wupeng wooden boats at the mouth of Yabei Bay, and thought to himself that Chen Huawen was really thick-skinned, and after dragging it all night, the three boats brought a hundred and ten people over, and he dared to say that he was here to help. However, seeing the beacon fire burning here, Chen Huawen can come over to watch the situation in person, and he can be regarded as a brave person. Although there were forty or fifty fishing boats converted into warships in the Haiyu Township Battalion, it was replaced by himself, and there was no contact or plan in advance, and he could not confirm the war situation here afterwards, and it was impossible to pull out the only water battalion forces in his hand to participate in the battle.

Lin Jian smiled: "Lord Chen has a heart. Pull out the nails in the two places of Yangshan Island, otherwise it will be too difficult, and there will be reinforcements from the East China Sea. The difficulty is that the Jiangdong Left Army does not have the rich troops to defend these eight or nine small islands on the left and right, can the Haiyu Township Battalion intentionally take over? ”

The luxury family controlled the East China Sea Kou, and the Jiangdong Left Army did not have the ability to fight alone for the time being, but Pingjiang, Jiahang, and Mingzhou prefectures and counties were all affected by the East China Sea Kou, and working together was far greater than the East China Sea Kou.

On the east coast of Haiyu County, less than 70 miles away from the nearest part of the large and small Yangshan Islands, the large and small Yangshan Islands will be handed over to the Haiyu Township Battalion to build a garrison for defense, if the Kou ship enters the Shengsi sea area and sends a message back from the Upper and Lower Yangshan Islands, the Haiyu Township Battalion will not be able to rush over to encircle and suppress the Kou ship in less than two hours at the earliest; It is much more effective than the Jiangdong Left Army directly building garrisons on the big and small Yangshan Islands.

Lin Jian looked at Chen Huawen with his eyes, wanting to see if he had the courage to take over the big and small Yangshan Islands.

Chen Huawen turned his face to look at the mountains on the south side of Dayangshan Island to cover his hesitant expression.

Although there are more than 5,000 soldiers in the Haiyu Township Battalion, there are more than enough to defend the walled city, but it is not enough to defend the East China Sea from abroad. In addition to the Dongjiang River, Haiyu County has a network of rivers that run through the sea, and there are almost dozens of rivers that flow into the sea to facilitate the infestation of Kou boats, and the township camp has 40 or 50 fishing boats converted into warships, and it is simply unable to guard everywhere.

If you can build a garrison on Yangshan Island, even if you don't expect to annihilate the enemy at sea, you can find the Kou soldiers who have entered the Shengsi sea area at least two hours in advance, and the township battalion will have more time to deploy troops in Haiyu County to defend against the landing of the East China Sea Kou and the invasion of the Kou.

Chen Huawen is worried, in this vast sea, how can he defend this isolated island? There are fewer troops deployed here, and they can't hold the garrison, but because there are no large warships of the Jiangdong Left Army that can gallop on the sea, there are more troops deployed here, and they are trapped on isolated islands, but they disperse the troops of the Haiyu Township battalion on land.

Chen Huawen thought about it again and again, and said to Lin Lian: "It's a big matter, and the lower officials can't make up their minds alone, so after the lower officials return to Haiyu County, they will discuss with everyone, and then give an answer to the adults......"

Lin Jian sighed lightly and said, "I led the fleet to patrol the sea, and I couldn't stay at sea for too long. Since Lord Chen can't accept it at this time, then I will destroy the walled fort and return to the sea, and I can't give it to the Donghai Kou anymore......"

"Although it's a pity, the lower officials can only say it's a pity," Chen Huawen said quietly, "There are a hundred and ten people coming with the lower officials, please send Lord Lin away." ”

Lin Jian could not complain that Chen Huawen was short-sighted, and if the Haiyu Township Battalion could not focus on developing the combat strength of the water battalion, it would be useless to talk about controlling the sea. At this time, the Jiangdong Left Army was still out of reach, and Haiyu County did not take over, so Lin Jian could only order the two strongholds on Yangshan Island to be destroyed as completely as possible.

It is easy to destroy, but it is difficult to build, and even if there is no shortage of people and money for luxury families, it will take a month or two to rebuild their strongholds on Yangshan Island. In the future, it will become the norm for the Jinghai Sea Battalion to go to sea to inspect the sea, and gradually reduce the forces of the East China Sea Kou in the Shengsi Sea area to Daheng Island, and it will also improve the situation in the Shengsi Sea area and the sea area north of it.

Although Chen Huawen did not agree to take over Yangshan Island, he was quite polite to Lin Lian. It's not just that Lin Lian's official position is higher than him, but Lin Lian holds a male soldier, Chen Huawen hopes that in the future, when Donghai Kou enters Kouhaiyu County and the township camp is unable to resist, he can be rescued by the Jiangdong Left Army, and at this time, he will naturally form a good fate.

"I heard that Lord Lin's wedding is imminent, and the lower officials will prepare a little gift when they arrive, and go to Chongzhou to ask for a cup of happy wine to drink, hoping that Lord Lin will be gracious." Chen Huawen said.

"Gifts are exempt," Lin Jian said with a smile, "I will never refuse guests and friends outside the door, then I will wait for Lord Chen in Chongzhou." ”

Chen Huawen left by boat, and Lin Jian stayed on Dayangshan Island for two days, destroying all the strongholds on Dayangshan Island before leading the patrol fleet back to Chongzhou.

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

Although he failed to make up his mind to fight with the Jinghai Battalion at sea, he always paid attention to the dynamics of Dayangshan Island, and he was even more worried that Lin Tie would attack Daheng Island this time.

From the Shengsi Islands to the Tushan Islands to the Daishan Islands and then to the Changguo County Islands, each archipelago is only seventy or eighty miles apart, if the Jiangdong Left Army captures Daheng Island and gains a firm foothold in the Shengsi Islands, then the extravagant Feixiong must deploy heavy troops to defend the Tushan Islands and Daishan Islands, which will disperse the East China Sea Kou's offensive against Mingzhou Mansion at this time.

After receiving the news that the patrol fleet of the Jiangdong Left Army was heading north, Hao Feixiong breathed a sigh of relief on Daheng Island, but there was a fire in his heart, knowing that his strength at sea was several times that of the Jiangdong Left Army, but he was unable to move on the islands.

"Smack!" Extravagant Fei Xiong patted the table with hatred, his strength was extremely great, and he slapped it down, and the simple table made of pine nails staggered, almost falling apart, looking at the cronies standing below, his eyes were red and asked them: "Tell me, is it possible to fight with the Jiangdong Left Army at sea?" ”

"The Jiangdong Left Army ships are strong and fast, all our warships are too far apart, and when we engage in a battle at sea, we can only rely on many to win," a middle-aged general with a beard bowed his head and said, "In this situation, if you can fight, the Jiangdong Left Army will engage our army, but you can't fight, and the Jiangdong Left Army can sail and flee while the wind blows, and the initiative lies in the Jiangdong Left Army, which is really not a good opportunity for our troops to fight with them at sea." ”

"What Ting Zhan said, I also considered it, but just trapped on Daheng Island, don't you feel aggrieved in your heart?" Fei Fei Xiong said.

"There's no way to be aggrieved." Su Tingzhan smiled, his expression was very relaxed, and he didn't look aggrieved.

Although Su Tingzhan has a rough appearance, he is also an important general in the East China Sea Kou under the command of Xiong Yizhi, but he is from a talented background.

He was a native of Mingzhou, although he offended the Mingzhou clan and was falsely accused and imprisoned, he instigated hundreds of prisoners to break out of prison with him, kill officials and rob ships, and finally took more than 300 prisoners to sea to become a sea bandit.

Due to the weakness of the force, he went to sea to become a sea bandit, and was also invaded by other forces, and only operated in the waters south of Liuheng Island. Su Tingzhan is a very discerning and courageous person, he is weak and weak, trapped in the Liuheng sea area and unable to develop, seeing that the luxury family is trapped on land and unable to break free from Li Zhuo's blockade and fall into trouble, he went to Jin'an alone, asking to see the extravagant bear who was recuperating in Jin'an at that time, and persuaded the extravagant bear to support him to develop his power at sea.

In just two or three years, Su Tingzhan's power rose to become the most powerful of the thirteen Donghai Kou. Su Tingzhan was also quite distinctive in recruiting his subordinates, making his subordinates deliberately act as traitors and put them in prison, instigating prisoners to escape from prison and go to the sea, or directly entering the hard labor grounds of the exiled prisoners, so as to attract the exiled prisoners to join the gang. He was mainly a murderer, robbing the countryside, especially brutal, and then took the initiative to infiltrate the luxury family, accepted a large number of old soldiers and brave generals, and had a very strong combat power, occupying Liuheng Island, and becoming the belly and armpit of the two Zhejiang County Divisions.

Not only that, Su Tingzhan also secretly supported the pirate forces close to the luxury family, and was also one of the main promoters of the luxury family's strategy of abandoning land and going to sea. His status in the luxury family at this time is not weaker than the old ministers and generals of the luxury family, and he is the most important henchman and cronie under the luxury flying bear.

In the bloody battle of Jiyang, Su Tingzhan's troops suffered heavy casualties, but it also gave him the opportunity to purge his subordinates and establish regularized soldiers, recruiting veterans from the coastal area of Jin'an, and the army quickly expanded to more than 6,000 people, calling himself "Six Heng Brave Soldiers".

After the bloody battle of Jiyang, Extravagant Fei Xiong adopted Qin Zitan's strategy of "consumption and replenishment", and in just one year, he was able to complete the infiltration of Donghai Kou. In addition to the 3,000 elite guards of the Flying Bear, he is the most dependent on the "six horizontal brave soldiers", in addition, there are more than 10,000 soldiers scattered on the islands, and 20,000 male soldiers can be gathered in the East China Sea.

Extravagant Fei Xiong has a male soldier in his hand, but he can't get out on Daheng Island, so it's no wonder he feels aggrieved.

"Maybe we should go back to Chongzhou and take advantage of the construction of Chongzhou New City to solve the problem of the Jiangdong Left Army in one fell swoop?" Shu Qingqiu said with a gloomy face.

Shu Qingqiu and Du Rong and Qin Zitan wanted to set up a trap in Meixi Lake last year to harm Lin Bin, but they gave Lin Tie a bite, Du Rong was defeated and died, Qin Zitan fled in a hurry, and Shu Qingqiu's old nest Shujiazhai in Anji County was uprooted by Lin Tie. In addition to Shu Qingqiu's two sons who escaped, nearly 100 people were sent to Huzhou to be punished, and the chaos was re-enacted, nearly 30 heads fell to the ground, and several Shu families were desperate.

Su Tingzhan was silent, his eyes looking at the extravagant flying bear.

Chongzhou was rainy and sunny throughout July and August, and it was pouring rain at every turn, and it was impossible to build the city at all, and the construction was not started until recently, and even the root of the wall has not been built.

Of course, Feixiong is willing to solve the Jiangdong Left Army in one fell swoop, but how many troops do you have to draw to win, and how long will the war last before the Jiangdong Left Army can be completely disabled? The two Zhejiang county divisions gathered nearly 30,000 troops on the banks of Mingzhou Zhuhai and wanted to recapture Changguo County. He transferred too few troops to pose a threat to the Jiangdong Left Army, and too many troops were transferred, and the defense of Changguo County was empty, giving the two Zhejiang County Divisions an opportunity to take advantage of. Once Changguo County is lost, they will lose the most important foundation for gaining a foothold in the East China Sea.

"If you can't bear it, you will make a big plan," Cheng Yiqun said, "Our current focus is on Mingzhou, not Chongzhou, and we can't mess up." ”

Cheng Yiqun was born as a thief in Taihu Lake, once won over the Qu family, sent people to besiege the Jiangning estuary, and last autumn he had won over Qin Zitan Dakou Xisha Island, killing more than 2,000 people and islanders, and it was difficult to gain a foothold in Taihu Lake, so he led the crowd to go to sea and completely took refuge in the luxury family, and he was also the master who was inseparable from Lin Tie, and he was responsible for the big sideways at this time.

"Indeed, at present, we have to attack the two Zhejiang, to encroach on the east of Zhejiang as the foundation, before the settlement of the two Zhejiang county soldiers, we can't easily use troops against Chongzhou," Xuan Feixiong said, "In a short time, we should strengthen the defense of Daheng Island, deal with the two Zhejiang county soldiers, we don't need any big ships, transfer the four flying wings to Daheng Island, and transfer twenty more loach boats, we must not make the warships of the Jiangdong Left Army cross the Shengsi sea area and threaten the Tushan and Daishan islands." In this situation, the warships of the Jiangdong Left Army dared to forcibly cross the Shengsi sea area, so I transferred ships to encircle and annihilate them, but I do not believe that four or five hundred ships of the sea could not defeat dozens of ships of the Jiangdong Left Army. ”

"The East China Sea foxes in the north of Changshan Island are not weak, and the salt boats that often haunt the inland rivers to plunder the Lianghuai salt farms may have collusion with the Lianghuai salt barons," Cheng Yiqun said. ”

"Is the situation clear? How many soldiers do you need to be sure? Extravagant Bear asked.

"The force is not weak, this group of people originally built a dock fort on the south cliff of the island, surrounded by cliffs and dense forests, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack; In the past two months, a new small fort has been built on the headland facing the southwest bay mouth on three sides, and it is difficult to forcibly conquer the bay mouth where the ships are parked if it is used to shelter," Cheng Yiqun said, "The use of troops to attack is secondary, as long as our troops show strong force, they can force them to bow their heads and let Changshan Island out." Occupying Changshan Island can threaten Hecheng in the east of Chongzhou, and can force the Jiangdong Left Army to divide troops to defend in the direction of Hecheng......"

Extravagant Feixiong asked Su Tingzhan: "Tingzhan, what do you think?" ”

"This may be postponed," Su Tingzhan said, "I'm thinking about using troops against Chongzhou again, and in a few days it will be Lin Lian'er's big wedding, maybe we can go and join in the fun......
