Kuga Island Chi Zhou sent someone over, and Lin Jian asked Yamashita Keigo to leave first, and asked people to invite Chi Zhou's envoy in.

"Kuga Island's Yan Hakuzan meets the envoy!" Yan Baishan, the envoy of Chi Zhou, led him into the cabin, and immediately knelt down and kowtowed, honoring Lin Xuan's official title.

Lin Jian looked at Yan Baishan, fifty years old, with a frost-white beard under his chin, a dark and thin face, and small eyes, as if he was crowded together. His appearance is not good, even if he changes into a plain blue robe, he is more like an old fisherman who has been drying on the sea for many years, but this person is Chi Zhou's most relied on strategist, and he fled here with Chi Zhou from Guangnan to gain a foothold, there are more than ten people, and he is an important figure in the pirate force of Kuga Island.

Compared with the Saga clan who sent Keigo Yamashita over, Kuga Island, which is only separated by a water from Fukue Island, even if he wanted to perfunctory the Huaidong Military Division, he didn't dare to send someone to come over casually.

It took less than half a year for Lin Jian to take office as the envoy of Huaidong.

From Jin'an or Mingzhou, or from Chongzhou, the route to Kyushu Island has not really been broken. Not only did the vassal states on Kyushu and Honshu generally understand the situation in the Central Plains, but they also kept an eye on the slightly larger pirate forces around them.

Yan Baishan walked into the cabin and made a big gift to see the officials, which surprised Lin Lian.

Lin Lian was slightly stunned before he said: "Mr. Yan is polite, come here, what is the matter, please sit down and talk...... Let Sui Hu bring an embroidery piece in front of the case, and ask Yan Baishan to sit and talk.

"Shen Heming is entrenched in Fujiang Island and has committed many crimes, and Li Shu of the five islands has suffered from it. The five islands have the intention to get rid of it, but the people are weak and dare not act rashly. The system made the lord lead the army to suppress it this time, remove a major harm for the five islands Li Shu, and relieve the people from hanging. Everyone elected the little ones to come, firstly, to express their gratitude to the adults, and secondly, to prepare some small gifts to reward the royal master and condolences to the adults' hard work......" Yan Baishan said.

If the pirates entrenched on Kuga Island are all good citizens, Lin Jian will take off his eyeballs and eat them.

It is bounded by the narrow strait separating Kuga Island and Fukue Island, and is often called Minamigoto in the south and Kitagoto in the north. Including Fukue Island, the pirates of the northern five islands mainly made a living by plundering the sea and extorting merchants.

Unlike the northern five islands, which are all rugged and mountainous, the terrain of the southern five islands is slightly gentle, and after the Chi Zhou occupied Kuga Island, people were allowed to farm on the island, but the bottom was still a sea ko.

Compared with other pirates, Chi Guan's cleverness lies in the fact that he only uses Kyushu Island as a dumping ground for looting goods, and rarely does anything in the vicinity, so he can gain a foothold in this sea area for more than ten years without being driven away.

Anyway, Chi Xuan sent Yan Baishan to express his goodwill, and Lin Jian would not refuse people at this time, and said, "Mr. Yan is serious......

"I wait for the small people, floating across the ocean, living on this isolated island, with no food and clothing, and being invaded by robbers, and have always longed to be protected by the royal court and the king," Yan Baishan said emotionally, "Today, the envoy led the king to come across the sea, if he saw his parents and relatives, if he met Ganlin, he was happy, but he couldn't express it in words, and I hope that the adults will not blame the little joy and say the wrong thing......"

"How so?" Lin Jian said with a smile, "Everyone who says that they are not guilty, how can they say something wrong?" ”

"The lord suppressed Shen Heming, but to prevent Fujiang Island from being occupied by other robbers and harming Haidong, Xiaobai dared to ask the lord to leave an elite of the royal division to garrison, so that more than 10,000 Li Shu on the five islands could be protected by the imperial court at all times!" Yan Baishan said.

Lin Jian glanced at Yan Baishan and knew that he was pretending to ask for excuses to test the fundamental purpose of the Huaidong Army's cross-sea expedition.

"I do have this idea," Lin Jian said, "but I don't know if the people of the five islands are really welcome or fake ......when Wang Shi stays here."

Given Lin Lian's sharp eyes staring, Yan Baishan's heart skipped a beat.

Just like Keigo Yamashita came to Fukue Island on behalf of the Saga clan, before Yan Baishan came, he also thought that the Huaidong Military Division was unlikely to be interested in this small island.

Lin Jian didn't hide it, and directly said the intention of garrisoning, and the words that Yan Baishan had prepared in his heart were useless for a while, and he kept saying: "How can it be a fake welcome, how can it be a fake welcome?" It's too late to rejoice, it's too late to rejoice......"

Lin Jian and Yan Baishan perfunctory for a while, then left the gift he was carrying, and let him go back to Kuga Island.

"The Saga clan may put up with Fujiang Island sending hundreds of soldiers to Huaidong to garrison, and if Chi Zhou leads his troops to annex, this movement will be big," Song Jia said, "Chi Zhou's power is stronger than Shen Heming, but tolerating Shen Heming's occupation of Fujiang Island, I think he mainly doesn't want to arouse the vigilance of the Fuso people!" ”

The five main islands of the Goto archipelago are close to each other, almost a single Dokdo, like the strait between Fukue Island and Kuga Island, and the south exit is only about 400 steps.

The entire Goto archipelago is about the same size as Xisha Island, and it is only about 20 miles from the nearest point on the north coast of Kyushu Island.

In the history known to Lin Bin, Meng Yuan had crossed the sea twice to conquer Japan, but both were defeated. If Meng Yuan had occupied the Goto Islands in advance and used the Goto Islands as a base for advance, the history of his Eastern Expedition would probably have been rewritten.

Not to mention the Saga family, even the other feudal states of Kyushu, and even the feudal states of Honshu could not tolerate the entire Goto archipelago falling into the hands of the Huaidong Military Division.

This was far beyond the scope of the garrison to protect the trade routes.

Yan Baishan came over, and his words revealed that Chi Xuan was willing to accept Zhao'an.

Whether Chi Zhou wants to use the name of Zhao'an to divide the five islands, or he wants to use Zhao'an to perfunctory here, it is a headache.

"After all, the situation here will become clear after the victory or defeat is determined with the Koreans!" Lin Jian said, "The Saga clan and Chi Zhou will not be stupid, including Shen Heming, I am afraid that I would draw troops to fight Fukue Island before the battle of Danluo Island!" ”

"......" Song Jiayan smiled and said, "When you defeat the Koreans on Danluo Island, Shen Heming won't run away?" If Shen He fled early tomorrow, Chi Zhou sent someone to occupy Fukue Island first. Chi Zhou will join you again at that time, but you will not have the name to directly occupy Fujiang Island! ”

"Shen Heming won't settle this account." Lin Jian said with a smile.

Song Jia smiled and said, "If Shen Heming wants you, you will settle accounts, and you will not buy the Koreans to fight Jeju ......."

Lin Jian smiled proudly, and at this time, Lin Jingzhong came in from outside.

The third batch of convoys from Chongzhou to Danluo Island has docked, and Chongzhou has a letter to report the transfer of the economic state, and Lin Jingzhong has taken a large stack of ponds and mansions to report in.

All the texts are colored to show priority; Song Jia knelt on the soft couch and used a paper cutter to cut Zhu's urgent letter first. The first letter was not good news, and Song Jia handed it to Lin Jian with a solemn face.

On the day of the Lantern Festival, Chongzhou, Hecheng and other places are snowing heavily, and at noon, a rare tide in winter suddenly occurs, invading Hecheng, Gaocheng, Jianling, and Yandu coastal areas, forming a catastrophe.

Due to the fact that the construction of the seawall is located above the tidal water line, and there are few storms in winter, everyone is not prepared for the winter tide, and there are two sections north of Hecheng with extremely heavy losses. More than 200 people drowned in the workers' camp alone, and the number of people drowned in salt households and peasant households was even higher.

"Defend the seawall and grit your teeth to build it!" Lin Jian sighed, Hecheng is relatively high, Gaocheng, Jianling, and Yandu coastal areas are low, and the losses of these tidal invasion disasters are heavier, and the relief is responsible for Hailing Mansion, Huai'an Mansion and the two Huai Salt and Iron Envoys, he doesn't need to ask, but this kind of loss is uncomfortable in anyone's heart.

Song Jia saw that Lin Jian did not mean to annotate the letter, so he took the letter over and archived it, thinking to himself: Counting the tide in the summer of the ninth year of Chongguan, the two disasters in Huaidong in three years are extremely heavy. If you can't build a seawall, Huaidong really can't be regarded as a good place to take root.

Most of the prisoners of war on Fujiang Island were transported to Danluo Island by ship, and a small number of people stayed behind to supervise the repair and reinforcement of Fujiang Village, and the foot soldiers were temporarily stationed in Fujiang Village; With the exception of sentinel ships, most of the warships anchored in the harbor between Fukue Island and Kuga Island.

Lin Jian and Song Jia were on the Jinhai, and the official letters and reports accumulated for nearly half a month were disposed of, and it was already late at night.

Song Jia was just about to say goodbye and go back to the cabin to rest, when he heard someone shouting on the deck: "Someone is scuttling the boat underwater!" ”

The thin part of the board of the Jinhai is also five or six inches thick, not to mention the reinforcement of the bottom of the ship, and it is also densely covered with copper nails to prevent insects, and the whole ship is divided into 16 watertight cabins, and it is useless to chisel a hole.

Even if he lets it go and gives him twenty or thirty people to be underwater, he may not be able to scuttle the Jinhai for half a day.

In addition to its own escort forces, the Jinhai also has two Jiyun-class warships and four warships stationed around the left and right to escort them. At this moment, two hazy warships approached first, hooked with long poles, and stretched down to catch the water ghosts who were digging boats under the surface of the sea, and suddenly someone shouted: "In front, in front!" "Apparently a water ghost was spotted at the front of the ship, and many of the guards on deck ran to the front.

Song Jia was about to go outside the cabin to see what was going on, but Lin Jian grabbed her and said, "You sit here!" He grabbed the saber under the desk and straightened over, listening to the movement outside the cabin. Zhou Pu walked in with four servants and guarded Lin Tie closely, and Lin Tie asked them to pay attention to the movement outside.

Immediately after that, there were two muffled sounds of "poof" from the back, and if you don't pay attention to it, it's easy to ignore the past!

Zhou Pu pulled out his saber, and a black shadow slammed open the back window and rushed in, slashing him in the middle. Song Jia was startled by a splash of blood on her face, Lin Jian casually extinguished the lamp, and pulled Song Jia back into the corner, leaving space for Zhou Pu to play. Two more assassins broke in, but they didn't expect the lights in the cabin to go out at this time, and it was not their turn to identify the main owner of the assassination......

Use the underwater water ghost to distract most of the ship's guards and create an opportunity to stab. It's not that clever, but it's useful. Unfortunately, the timing was only a short time, and the three assassins who sneaked aboard the ship did not have the opportunity to seize the opportunity.

The three Assassins were quickly killed, and the water ghosts who were digging boats to attract attention under the water were also killed, and two of them were caught alive.

The two water ghosts were dragged in, shivering all over, thinking that they were not afraid, but they were frozen, and they were drenched in water.

Lin Jian looked at these two water ghosts who were short in stature and wore leather backrests, and asked, "Who sent you?" ”

The confrontation between the monarchs and heroes of the Japanese and the feudal kingdom is no more than a dozen counties, and the small ones are no more than a few townships. None of the forces has the so-called strategic depth, and it is often the First World War that determines life and death, victory or defeat. Compared to the battle to the death on the battlefield, the victory of the assassination is easier. Assassination was a common occurrence between the Japanese vassal states, and Lin Jian didn't expect it to be his turn.

Li Ji, the prince of Danluo, and Ma Po Monkey arranged for people to search for assassins who might still be hiding on the shore, and Lin Jingzhong and Ge Cunxiong rushed over to greet them first, and rushed Lin Lianzheng to interrogate the two water ghosts.

The assassins all have the consciousness of being a dead soldier, and these two water ghosts obviously will not let go of their mouths because of Lin Lian's words, Lin Lian saw Ge Cunxin and Lin Jingzhong coming in, and said: "You go to find Li Ji and Ma Po Monkey, and complete the preparations for attacking Songpu before dawn!" ”

"Ahh Ge Cunxin was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise, "The assassin may not have been sent by the Saga family!" ”

"Who knows," Lin Jian smiled coldly and said, "Since the Saga family is the closest, let the Saga family be responsible for this!" "Wave your hand and let the two water ghosts drag them down, not even looking at how the two water ghosts react to the orders he has given!

Song Jia knew that Lin Jian just needed an excuse to attack the Saga family directly!
