Chapter 4 Haitang Questions

(In the aggravation of the cold, put on a pitiful look and ask for a red ticket)

Ning Zechen and Sun Shangwang left in advance, and Cao Ziang asked Lin Lian: "Li Zhuo sent Gao Zongting to come, it should not be simply to ask Ping Yuce if he has any plans, although the words are not clear, the meaning is still obvious. ”

"Do you also think that Li Zhuo will put his hope on us for the arrangement of Jinhai's way?" Lin Jian asked.

"......" Cao Ziang nodded, "The water divisions of the three towns of Dengzhou, Ninghai, and Jiangning, the water battle may be advantageous, but the landing foot battle is unfavorable, Li Zhuo will not fail to see it." Based on the concept of the three-way layout of Pingyuce, Jizhen is the mainstay, and the two roads of Jinhai and Dengzhou are partial divisions, but these two partial divisions have to attack across the sea, need to cross the boat, and need to land on foot. The boatmaster and the foot rider are not so easy to practice. Based on the current situation of the imperial court, based on the Dengzhou Water Camp, send a capable minister and a general, and barely be able to get a partial division in a year or two, but it is difficult for Jinhai to create an elite partial division all the way out ......of nothing."

"In the eyes of outsiders, Li Zhuo pinned the hope of the Jinhai division on the remnants of Jinzhong, and it was a big deal to send a boat division to cross the sea." Lin Jian said.

"That's just from an outsider's point of view." Cao Ziang is not ambiguous.

Lin Tie sighed lightly, the landing of large sea ships near the shore is a difficult problem, the 5,000 stone sea ships have a half-load draft of nearly eight feet deep, and there is no harbor or a natural deep-water cliff with a suitable draft and height for mooring, using the terrain of small and medium-sized river stures, with nail boards, special pontoon boats, iron cables, and giant anchors to quickly build a landing trestle bridge is a simple job, and Lin Tie does not have the need to set up a special camp for this purpose.

Xisha Island is an island of sand, and the shore is also surrounded by silt terrain, so in order to transport a large amount of relief materials to Xisha Island, it also tried its best and endured all kinds of hardships. It was not a day's work to build a Jianggang wharf on Sand Island, and in the end, a small floating dock with strong wave resistance was built on the north shore of Guanyin Beach at any cost. The technology in this is smashed out of silver, and it is the master craftsmen who have worked out it with their brains.

It is obvious to all that the three main naval divisions of the Great Vietnamese Dynasty had a rather poor landing combat capability, and Li Zhuo had to strengthen the naval division's ability to conduct cross-sea landing operations if he wanted to use his boat division to cross the sea to attack behind enemy lines.

The nuclear personnel of the remnants of the Jinzhong Army who remained in Jinhai were 2,400 soldiers in the fourth battalion, headed by Ma Yigong, Yang Yihang, Wu Tian and others. The lively Zhou Tong and Wei Zhonglong both resigned from their military posts on the grounds of injury and illness, and refused to serve the Great Yue Dynasty anymore.

After Wei Zhonglong resigned from his military position, he left Jinhai with more than a dozen henchmen and disappeared. Take Zhou Tong's words, Wei Zhonglong himself was an orphan, expelled from his clansmen, and grew up wandering, and from the army to the lieutenant of Zhenwei, he had nothing to worry about, and the battle of Gaoyang also made him lose confidence in the imperial court, maybe he went into Taihang Mountain to occupy the mountain and become the king. It's a pity that he will leave like this, but there is nothing to be done. Zhou Tong did not leave Jinhai, took off his armor, changed into a robe, wore a leather hat unique to Hejian Mansion, and wandered around the banks of the Whirlpool River all day long, looking for people with nothing to do, asking for wine, chatting and farting, as if he was a rich man who got rich. With his military exploits, he did not seek promotion, and he also exchanged thousands of taels of silver, which was enough for him to squander.

The imperial court agreed that the four battalions of Jinzhong soldiers should be returned to the Caoyun Division of Jinhaidu to control it, but they had to be reduced to the category of miscellaneous soldiers and auxiliary soldiers, and the generals' money and salaries would be a large part of the town army, and I am afraid that they would not be able to get the soldiers' armor, mules, horses, and war equipment from the military department for the time being.

With the concept and layout of the Pingyu policy, even if the resistance from Hao Zongcheng and the Inner Service Province is not considered, the Jinzhong soldiers are the core to form the Jinhai Road Division, the number of soldiers must reach 10,000 talents, the boats, ships, soldiers and armor are complete, there is no 670,000 taels of silver to throw, there is no year to train, and it cannot form a combat force. Considering the funds for raising the army for two years, the household department had to allocate an additional 1 million taels of silver for the Jinhai Road Division.

In order to alleviate the danger of the grain shortage in Gyeonggi, such a fatal thing, the household department only squeezed out 500,000 taels of special silver, how could it be possible to allocate millions of taels of silver for the Jianjin Sea Road Division?

Ning Zechen and Sun Shangwang didn't care about the information hidden behind Ping Yuce, but Cao Ziang was transparent, especially Gao Zongting's trip, although he didn't make his words clear, the meaning was still there.

"If Gao Zongting makes his words clear, how will the adults respond to him?" Cao Ziang asked.

Lin Tie heard Cao Ziang speak and had paid attention to the identity gap between the two, maybe it was inevitable, but he couldn't say that he was comfortable in his heart, he said: "I have also expressed my attitude with Gao Zongting, if Li Zhuo goes to Jizhen to train troops, I will supply food from the sea, which can save a lot of money for military training, as for other ......" Speaking of this, Lin Tie sighed softly, "Let's go back to Jiangdong first, Donghai Kou has enough headaches." If the Yuan's qi is not exhausted, two or three years later, Li Zhuo is still in the position of the governor of Jizhen and forms an internal counterattack, we will come over to join the war! ”

"......" Cao Zi was silent and looked at the clear water outside the sea pond.

"Are you worried about what will happen after the 'five-year peace' is a fluke?" Lin Jian asked.

"Hmm." Cao Ziang felt that Lin Lian was also transparent when he saw people and things, and replied truthfully.

If Dongyu does not become a danger, the imperial court will naturally cut the strong domain, this strong feudal does not only refer to the luxury family of the Jin family, but maybe Jiangdong Zuoying is also a thorn in the eye of the imperial court, and Cao Ziang, who has been bitten by a snake and has palpitations, is not an accident to worry about this at this time.

Lin Jian said with a smile: "Please go to sea and expand the territory - what do you think?" He felt that the Yuan clan was exhausted, and it was just a respite at this time, but if he really let the Yuan clan ease up, he would only have one way to sea, anyway, most of the families of the generals of the Jiangdong Left Army were on Xisha Island, and it would be easy to arrange it at that time.

Cao Ziang's eyes lit up and said, "If you can return to Chongzhou by sea this time, can you 'suppress' Changshan Island by the way?" ”

"It is completely possible to ask the Ministry of War for a secret letter, saying that the head of the Kou on Changshan Island, the East Sea Fox, has committed a great crime and asked him to surrender to the court, and ask the Ministry of War to allow him to secretly join us, secretly support our division on Changshan Island, and restrain the East China Sea Kou of Changguo." Lin Jian said.

"This strategy is very good, if Li Zhuo can successfully preside over the military department, this strategy should be feasible." Cao Ziang said.

With this secret letter, Lin Jian can officially accept the people of Changshan Island as generals, and secretly deploy troops to Changshan Island, without worrying that the arrangement on Changshan Island will arouse the vigilance of the luxury family and the East China Sea Kou.

Cao Ziang relieved many doubts in his heart and said, "I still have things to do, so I won't worry about the adults watching the sea here......"

Lin Jian smiled slightly, as if he was bored, but Cao Ziang, Lin Mengde and others were by his side, which was indeed much easier. Zhao Qingshan, Ning Zechen, Ao Canghai and others were in charge of the training of the generals, Cao Ziang, Lin Mengde, Sun Shangwang and others were in charge of camp affairs and co-ordination affairs, and Lin Jian was much more leisurely, but he was in a hurry to rush back to Jiangning.

The guards were scattered left and right, Lin Jian sat on the pond stone without any manners, thinking about something, listening to the movement behind him, and seeing that it was the little county lord Yuan Yan who wanted to climb the sea pond but blocked the way for his guards.

"Lord Lin, Lord Lin, am I Yuan Yan?" Yuan Yan shouted timidly under the embankment of Haitang, she is still young, although she also knows that there is a difference between men and women, but she feels closer when she sees Lin Bin, and besides, only this convenient stone step can climb Haitang on the left and right, so she can't be allowed to climb the berm in a skirt.

Of course, the guards recognized the little county lord, but Yuan Yan came out to play, and in addition to the maid, he also brought out the guards of the Lu Palace. Naturally, the guards couldn't let the guards of the Lu Wangfu with knives approach Lin Bin.

"It turned out to be Lord Yan...... Lin Jian looked at Yuan Yan under the embankment, the sun shone on her white and flawless little face, like a young cabbage in a spring field, and waved his hand, letting the guards give way to her. He is a small county man, a doctor from the Wupin Chaosan, but his personal guards blocked the way of the county lord of Luwangfu, and let the officials of the Metropolitan Procuratorate know that he was destined to be another domineering accusation.

Yuan Yan was polite and let the guards stay under the embankment, she and the maid carried the skirt, and the heart fluttered to climb the sea pond, seeing that Lin Yan was about to stand up and salute, she hurriedly said: "Lord Lin, don't be polite, Yuan Yan doesn't dare to come up......"

Lin Jian smiled slightly, and sat there, waiting for the little girl to leave first.

"Lord Lin, will you go to Jingzhong with us?" Yuan Yan asked.

"There are people who are sent by their lowly duties, and they cannot enter Beijing without following orders." Lin Lian replied.

"Really?" Yuan Yan sighed in disappointment, and occasionally asked as if she had the courage to ask, "Yuan Yan took the liberty to ask Lord Lin again......

"Oh, Lord Yan, please." Lin Jian said.

"Lord Lin is on the building of Yangxin City, are you afraid in your heart?" Yuan Yan's bright eyes stared nervously at Lin Lian, for fear that his stupid question would collide with him.

"Lord Yan asked me if I was afraid of death?" Lin Yan smiled, in his heart, he still regarded Yuan Yan as a little girl who didn't have any thoughts, and said jokingly, "I'm also afraid in my heart, but seeing the captives bullying Lord Yan like this, I am furious, and I am not afraid of being angry!" ”

"Lord Lin, can you not be perfunctory Yuan Yan?" Yuan Yanjiao's face was red, and Lin Lian's answer made her very happy, but she could still know that Lin Lian was deceiving him as a child, and asked; I think it's too much to ask such a question.

"No kidding," Lin Jian was slightly stunned, but he didn't expect the little county lord to run over and ask himself this question very seriously, the little girl's mind always didn't understand, thinking of Yuan Yan's identity, thinking that her parents died, maybe she would give the queen pity to stay in the palace and grow up, in terms of kinship, the current emperor and Yuan Jianhai are cousins, Yuan Yan's cousin, Lin Jian thought for a moment, and said, "I am not the only one standing in the gate of Yangxin City, the soldiers, the clothes of the people, the food of the people, They have the duty to defend the land for the people and eliminate violence. Besides, people all live in groups, clansmen, neighbors, and even countrymen, all have parents, brothers and sisters, and parents, brothers and sisters are slaughtered and plundered by foreign soldiers, how can they not be angry? There is duty, there is anger, even if there is fear in the heart, you can stand at the head of the city......"

"Ahh Yuan Yan still felt that this was not the answer she thought of, for her, it was a little deep, but Lin Yan replied so seriously, she didn't continue to ask, she bowed, and hurriedly went down to the sea pond, as if she rushed over to ask this question.

Lin Jian looked at the back of Yuan Yan leaving, and smiled, the little girl's mind was really difficult to figure out.
