(The third watch, asking for red tickets; Tomorrow is Christmas Eve, I wish my brothers and sisters a safe and happy Christmas Eve! ）

Without any notice, the ships stopped unloading and replenished fresh water, ordnance and other materials, Zhou Pu and Ning Zechen led two battalions of soldiers to block the passage between Jinhaicang and Jibei Army garrison, blockade Jinhaigang, Jiangdong Zuo Battalion mobilized together and assembled on the north bank of the Vortex River, and the situation in Jinhai suddenly became tense.

At dusk, the main mast of a 5,000-stone sea ship moored next to the vortex cape raised the crimson banner of "Jinhai County Male, Chaosan Doctor, Jiangdong Inspector Sidu Supervisor and Governor of Jiangdong Zuoying Township Military Forest", facing the sea breeze, the hunt began, announcing that Lin Bin's command tent had been moved from the camp on the south bank of the Whirlpool River to the 5,000-stone sea ship.

Someone took a rope tied to a cage and hung it down from the left side of the ship, and a craftsman stood in the cage and took a large lacquer pen to write "Jinhai" on the side of the ship, and officially named the 5,000-stone sea ship "Jinhai".

Before dusk, the 600 soldiers of the first battalion of the Jiangdong Zuoying Township Army had already completed their assembly at the wharf, and boarded the three ships "Jinhai", "Jiyun 1" and "Jiyun 2" in a silent and orderly manner.

This is a strong soldier who has defeated the iron cavalry of the East in all directions, the arrows, blades, and armor emit a cold cold light, and the murderous aura is high, and the people who come to the dock to watch the situation look at the team of armor soldiers coming from the south bank of the Whirlpool River, and they all feel suffocated.

Although the Jiangdong Zuoying Township Army had already sent people to post notices to appease the people at this time, and informed the yamen, saying that everything in front of them was an emergency drill, but in addition to the second and fourth battalions directly blocking the passage between the Jibei Army and Jinhaicang, the only battalion of cavalry that the Jiangdong Zuoying Township Army finally retained was also dispersed, and the passage in and out of Jinhaicang and Jinhaigang wharves was blocked and martial law, which inevitably made people feel uneasy.

The "Jinhai" is more than 20 zhang long and more than 4 zhang wide, and above the lower cabin is a solid combat deck, surrounded by a chest-high thick wooden wall of Mengshu cowhide, and on the deck, in addition to five masts of different heights, four bed crossbows are also fixed at both ends of the front of the deck. In addition, there are three aft compartments protruding from the stern, and on the top deck of the aft compartment are two scorpion crossbows, which use torsional force to throw stones.

In the aft compartment of the Jinhai, Lin Jian wore cyan armor and a crimson official robe, and sat opposite Tang Haoxin, Lin Xuwen and others.

A soft couch was brought next to him, and Sun Wenbing, who had woken up, lay on the soft couch weakly, and explained the feelings before and after the Changyi mutiny to Tang Haoxin, Lin Xuwen and others.

Lin Tie pressed his hands on the table, his knuckles pressed white, and when Sun Wenbing finished telling the details, he said in a high voice: "I led the Jiangdong Left Army to the north to King Qin, and Xihe will provide me with logistical support, and the world knows it!" Sun Wenbing is Lin Mengde's deputy, the deputy general of the Jiangdong Left Army Industrial Battalion, and his meritorious service is very great, and I have written to the Central Committee and the Ministry of War, all of which are for the Xihe Association to ask for rewards, and the world knows that the matter of the congestion of the Cao boat in the Jiaolai River is not investigated by the Shandong County Division, and the responsibility for the impassability of the river lies with the Shandong County Division, but the grain supervisor does not ask about the crime and kills more than 70 congregations of the Jiangning River Gang such as the Xihe Society, which is an unauthorized and indiscriminate killing. The congregation was understandably mutinied. Sun Jingxuan and other river gang leaders calmed down the people, appeased the congregation, and were innocent and meritorious, but the Shandong County Division did not comfort them and did not reward them, but instead accused them of rebellion and gathered troops to arrest them, what is this? Ignoring the fact that Sun Jingxuan calmed down the matter and appeased the congregation, and Kou Shouyi tortured him, what is this? Without an official letter of inquiry, he directly sent troops to take the general of my Jiangdong Left Army, what is this? From beginning to end, this is a conspiracy against the Xihe Society, a conspiracy against our Jiangdong Left Army, and a conspiracy against Lord Gu and Tang Shaobao! ”

Any conspiracy in this is speculation and cannot be verified, and Lin Jian insisted that this was a conspiracy that had been targeted at this side from the beginning, just to gain a moral advantage.

"If something like this happens, you should first ask me to discuss with Tang Shaobao," Lin Xuwen frowned slightly, feeling that the matter was very tricky, and said, "At the moment, this movement is a bit big, and the aftermath is a trouble......

"I don't dare to delay," Lin Jian said bitterly, "I'm afraid that if I delay for a moment, Shandong will make a spicy move!" They were totally made! ”

Lin Xuwen thought to himself that if there was really a huge conspiracy behind this, those who were extremely bold and ruthless might be able to preemptively treat Sun Jingxuan and others as the leaders of the rebels, and asked hesitantly: "What is the next step to be safe?" ”

Tang Haoxin was silent and silent, Lin Lian did not discuss with him and Lin Xuwen, he directly made such a big move, and did a good job of the situation of the army and forcing Shandong, to put it bluntly, he was afraid that they would dissuade him from calming things down - Lin Lian was resolute and wanted to take care of this matter for Xihehui.

Tang Haoxin didn't expect that their side had just confirmed the marriage between Lin Jian and Xun Niang, and such a change would happen in Xihehui.

Tang Haoxin did not attach much importance to the Xihe Society.

There are 16 Jiangning River Gangs, and there are nearly 50 River Gangs of various factions in Jiangdong County, and the Xihe Society is only one of them. In the entire political map of the Great Yue Dynasty, the Xihe Society was an insignificant force, and it was the mud legs that were gathered. Even if this is a conspiracy instigated by Zhang Xie, Yue Lengqiu and others behind the scenes, in Tang Haoxin's opinion, it is not worth openly falling out with Zhang and Yue for Xihehui.

Lin Tie didn't directly put on such a tough posture, Tang Haoxin would persuade him to endure his anger for a while, and think of other ways to catch people, thinking that Lin Xuwen would also have this attitude, but Lin Tie had already put on a posture of not giving in, and thousands of elite soldiers from the Jiangdong Left Battalion had already gathered on the north bank of the Whirlpool River, Tang Haoxin and Lin Xuwen were inconvenient to persuade him anymore, but on the basis of this tough posture, everything should be solved as completely as possible and no future troubles should be left.

"You have gathered the entire army of the Jiangdong Left Battalion, what are you going to do next?" Tang Haoxin asked Lin Jian in a hoarse voice, "Is it a good atmosphere for the whole army to go to a different place without a propaganda. He didn't talk about it seriously, he still hoped that the matter could be resolved in a more relaxed way or channel, and there was no need to make such a bad start in order to protect a small gang.

"I'm also a headless fly, and I can't find the tune, so I asked Tang Gong and my eldest brother to come over to discuss." Lin Jian said.

The Dayue Dynasty was the most taboo to lead the generals to indulge in favor and support the troops for self-respect, and Lin Tie led the troops directly to Shandong without authorization, even if he coerced the Shandong County Division to release people, Lin Tie would get a charge of "pampering and coquettishness, supporting the troops and self-respect".

Tang Haoxin glanced up at Lin Lian, thinking that he was afraid that he had already made up his mind, but many things needed to be coordinated with Lin Xuwen here, but he didn't expect that there would be such a tricky matter just after Lin Lian and Xun Niang's relationship was confirmed.

Tang Haoxin sighed and said: "I'm going to Shandong, I think my old bones can still play some role......

At this time, the guard pushed the door and came in to tell him, saying that Liu Zhi, the deputy envoy of Jinhai Guan Junrong, was on the shore and asked to get on the boat and ask to see him.

Lin Jian exchanged glances with Lin Xuwen and Tang Haoxin, and ordered the guards to let Liu Zhi come to the boat.

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

Liu Zhi complained bitterly in his heart, but Hao Zongcheng asked him to come here to listen to the news, and he couldn't refuse, so he had to come over hard.

The Jinzhong army closed its camp and did not come out; The Jiangdong Left Army came out empty. It took less than two hours for the Jiangdong Left Army to complete the operational preparations for full mobilization, and Liu Zhi, who knew a little about military affairs, also had to sigh that the Jiangdong Left Army was moving fast, which was not comparable to the Jibei Army. I can't help but think in my heart: Lin Jian really wants to lead the troops to make a rebellion, and the 20,000 Jibei Army stays in Jinhai, can he hold out until the reinforcements come to support?

Liu Zhi hesitated for a while, and decided to leave all the guards on the shore, the deck of the Jinhai was already full of guards, and Lin Jian really wanted to detain him, there was not much difference between a dozen more guards and a dozen or fewer guards. He climbed the "Jinhai" alone along the rope ladder, and he couldn't figure out what Lin Tie wanted to do, but in any case, it was too bold to gather a large army without saying a word.

"Why did Liu Guanjun come in a hurry?" Lin Jian asked Liu Zhi to take him directly to the tail cabin, and ordered Liu Zhi to add an extra low stool, and asked him to sit down and said.

"Tang Shaobao and Lin Dutong are also here," Liu Zhi sat down calmly and said, "The Jiangdong Left Army suddenly blocked Canggang to conduct a drill, I didn't receive any notice before this, thinking if I had made something wrong or omitted something, so I came over to ask, did I make a mistake or miss something?" ”

"I also had this idea temporarily, and I was just about to send someone to tell Lord Liu and Lord Hao," Lin Lian's lips curled slightly, revealing a stiff smile, and said, "The opening of the Jinhai Sea completely depends on the shipowners of the merchants who transport grain to the Jinhai Sea to organize the transportation of ships. In order to further ensure the safety of the grain fleet, I want to personally inspect the safety and reliability of the Bohai Bay Rim route before the arrival of April, and not delay the grain transportation plan, which can be regarded as a kind of drill - the first step, I will directly lead the generals participating in the drill to the Denglai area of Shandong Province! ”

"You're going to Denglai?" Liu Zhi's back was full of hair, I don't know what Lin Jian was doing when he raised troops to Denglai, without the transfer of the military department, Lin Jian led his troops to Denglai without authorization, how could this be used as an excuse for the drill?

Lin Jian narrowed his eyes and nodded, and asked, "Liu Guanjun intends to sail with me on a boat to test the results of this drill together?" ”

"No, no, no, I'm afraid of dizziness when I ride a boat, I'm afraid of bumps in a car, I'm afraid of falling on a horse, where do I dare to add a big burden to you?" Liu Zhi hurriedly refused, he didn't dare to wade into this troubled water after eating the leopard's gall.

"Lord Liu, please reply to Lord Hao, this matter is not just a drill," Tang Haoxin sat aside and suddenly said, "The Shandong County Division and the Household Department in Shandong are suspected of killing the River Gang members, causing a big uproar among the River Gang members, and the Shandong County Department transferred troops afterwards, and detained the River Gang members as rebels and imprisoned them. At present, it is not possible to determine who is right and who is wrong, but this matter has seriously affected the grain storage plan of Haicao and Jinhai, and the old man decided to go to Shandong to coordinate the matter in person. The sea is uncertain, and there are occasional pirates, so I asked Lin Dujian to lead the troops to escort me for a ride, but I didn't expect to alarm Lord Liu to come and ask about it...... "When he said this, he resolutely took the responsibility of moving without moving and gathering troops south into Shandong for Lin Tie.
