Chapter 33: Clans
(Yesterday, the red vote broke 6,000, and the third watch is coming, brothers, give a red vote!) )
Lin Xuwen rushed to Jinhai, and did not take a posture because he was the eldest son of the Lin family, and he was the right-hand capital of the four dignified and upright royal history, but said to Lin Lian: "I came to Hejian Mansion to cooperate with the Jiangdong Left Army......"
Lin Xuwen has been an official for so many years, and he knows the balance of advance and retreat. Although he has the name of supervising the military preparations of Hejian Mansion, except for a healthy servant who came with him, there is not a single soldier under his command, and the entire Hejian Mansion is disabled, and he has no clue to contact and organize the local forces of Hejian Mansion.
Without the support of Lin Jian and the Jiangdong Left Army, Lin Xuwen's title of supervising the military preparations of the Hejian Mansion was an empty title and a useless title.
Who will divide the military merit and not the score? It is impossible for Lin Jian to stay in Hejian Mansion, he is actively fighting in Hejian Mansion, and the connections and prestige he has accumulated cannot be taken away, who is not left behind? Leaving it to Lin Xuwen actually guarantees that his influence on Hejian Mansion will last.
Sun Shangwang and these people followed the Jiangdong Left Army to fight against the captives and cavalry at this time, but it is difficult to say whether they went or stayed after the war. The Jiangdong Left Army did not yet have a formal sequence, and it is difficult to say whether it was downsized after the war, and it was impossible to retain so many civilian officials; On the other hand, Sun Shangwang is also likely to be unable to stay in their homeland, and they hope to stay and rebuild their homeland.
If Sun Shangwang finally chooses to stay, Lin Jian also hopes to give him an official and a half-job, so he can only rely on Lin Xuwen.
Lin Jian had been thinking about the question of whether to stay in the remnants of the Jinzhong Army, and the arrival of Lin Xuwen made his thinking suddenly clear.
However, the question of the remnants of the Jinzhong soldiers is very wide-ranging, and Zhang Xie and Tang Haoxin may not be willing to clash with Hao Zongcheng and the forces of the Inner Servant Province for the remnants of the Jinzhong soldiers, and it is far from the time to mention this. At this time, the remnants of the Jinzhong soldiers can accumulate more military merits, so as to seize the initiative to solve the problem.
At this time, Sun Shangwang and Yang Zhishan returned.
Yang Zhishan's face was ugly, and Lin Jian asked with concern: "The sea is stormy, is Lord Yang any discomfort, why don't I ask someone to notify the vortex village and prepare a courtyard for Lord Yang to stay in the village?" ”
"Don't be so troublesome," Yang Zhishan smiled reluctantly, "I'm not afraid of Lord Lin's jokes, I was scared of the achievements of the Jiangdong Left Army just now, and the two officials were there to clear the core, I'll come over first to take a breath......
"Heh, then Lord Yang is here to take a breath, I'll ask someone to make you a cup of tea, this is the soil tea I brought from Dongyang......" Lin Jian smiled slightly, and asked Yang Zhi to make a cup of tea.
The imperial court surveyed and verified military merits, and paid the most attention to the number of grades, after all, the first-level military merits were the most difficult to falsely report.
Among the many military merits, there are many gaps in the evaluation of military merits in the evaluation of victories of total annihilation, defeat, and repulsion. The total annihilation is the first class, and the basis for the investigation and verification of the military merits of the total annihilation is naturally the number of grades.
After each battle, the battlefield is cleaned up, no matter how mutilated the corpses of the captives are, the auxiliary soldiers must cut off the heads, especially in the first battle of Xiaobotou Village, the corpses of many captives have been burned by fire, and the heads have to be cut off and counted.
More than 2,300 heads of various shapes have been sealed and pickled with quicklime, and they have accumulated in a cabin, and anyone who looks at it will have nightmares at night, no wonder Yang Zhishan's face is not good-looking. The two military officials who came with him were even more unlucky, and they didn't have the manpower to replace them if they wanted to be lazy, so they could only investigate and verify there.
In addition to the crown clothing, Donglu is also a little different from the Han people in appearance, such as a darker complexion, a pointed nose, and curly sideburns.
Yang Zhishan had seen the head of the cabin, and no longer doubted that the Jiangdong Left Army had won two great victories, and the specific investigation was naturally left to the officials below to do.
"Lin Dujian, I really admire you and the Jiangdong Left Army, in front of Lin Dutong, I won't lie to you," Yang Zhishan sat down, picked up the steaming teapot, and said, "In the past ten years, the border army has captured gold medals and silver medals not necessarily much more than your two victories, do you know why?" ”
"Please advise Lord Yang." Lin Jian stood up and saluted Yang Zhishan and said. Yang Zhishan is the head of the Zhengliupin Military Department, and the military department has a great say in the left army of Jiangdong, and Lin Jian naturally has a correct attitude towards Yang Zhishan.
Yang Zhishan blew away the tea foam floating on the water and said: "It's not that the captives killed by the border army over the years are not as good as the Jiangdong Left Army, but that the border army fights with the captives, and the vast majority of them are defensive. Even if the defenders of the city win a great victory and force the captives to retreat, the captives can calmly pack up the corpses of the dead and take them away. This is also the fact that the border army sometimes has good news and has few grades, and it is even rarer to win silver medals and gold medals. If you want to talk about this gold medal, at least I haven't seen it since I joined the Ministry of War, and the Jiangdong Left Army won two ...... at a time."
"It's too lucky for the Jiangdong Left Army to win two victories," Lin Jian said, "It's also Zhang Xiang, Tang Gong, Gu Yuanjun, and Cheng Shilang who strategize and guide well...... "He knew that Yang Zhishan was reminding him that the achievements of the Jiangdong Left Army were too dazzling, and it might not be a good thing for the Jiangdong Left Army, Yang Zhishan reminded him that it was not necessarily a bad intention, but the Jiangdong Left Army could be created, and Gu Wuchen was the first merit, so he simply pulled Zhang Xie, Tang Haoxin, and Cheng Yuqian together, what could not be reported about this military merit?
Even if it will make the military jealous because of this, but seeing the situation in the three mansions of Yannan, Lin Jian can't wait to slap the military in the face, where will he care about the face of those town army generals? At this time, although the emperor asked Zhou Zongxian, the secretary of the military department, to be the governor of the world, and wait for the captives to retreat, and wait for the responsibility to be held accountable, how could Zhou Zongxian, who was not wearing a pair of pants with the Chu party, stay in the position of the secretary of the military department?
Yang Zhishan saw that Lin Jian was full of sharpness and pretended not to understand his hints, so he no longer spoke out to persuade him.
On the grounds of horse meat trading, Lin Jian attracted merchants from Dengzhou to Jinhai to do business, making it the logistical support of the Jiangdong Left Army in Jinhai, many of whom were squires and wealthy merchants who fled from Hejian Province to Dengzhou to avoid military disasters, and were also willing to send ships to do business with the Jiangdong Left Army at this time, and by the way supported the Jiangdong Left Army to fight in Hejian Province.
Lin Jian asked Sun Shangwang to invite the more than ten squires and wealthy merchants from Hejian Mansion and the Jinhai squires who were avoiding the military disaster in Wukou Village to the Dongyang to watch the battle, and he wanted to introduce these people to Lin Xuwen.
Among the sea ships that went north this time, there were four thousand-stone ships borrowed from the Lin family. With the support of the sea ships from Dengzhou, and the boats here are enough, Lin Jian directly transferred a thousand-stone ship to Lin Xuwen as a ship. Lin Jia's warehouse originally had nearly 100 boatmen and sailors with him, who had been with the ship for more than two months, and was also familiar with the operation of sea ships.
Lin Xuwen wanted to sneak over from the enemy-controlled area, everything was simple, and he had almost nothing on his body except for some gold leaves.
Lin Xuwen had just arrived in Jinhai, and his shelf, who was the right capital of the imperial history and the governor of the Hejian Mansion, was immediately propped up. Lin Xuwen was very satisfied with Lin Bin's arrangement, and thought to himself that the Tonglin clan was more worthy of relying on than the township party after all.
********
In any case, even if Lin Tie is an independent portal, it must be counted as a branch of the Lin clan when tracing back to the roots.
The fact that the clan can spread out is precisely a manifestation of the further expansion of the clan's power and influence, at least in terms of the interests of the Lin clan, there is no substantive conflict between Lin Jian and Lin Xuwen.
Shanglinli fell, Lin Tie stepped forward at a critical moment, withdrew from Shanglinli with the Lin family, avoided Jiangning, helped the Lin family gain a foothold at the mouth of the Jiangning River, and supported Lin Tingli to fight against Shen Rong in Dongyang to gain Gu Wuchen's trust to be responsible for the training of Dongyang Township Yong, and also prompted a large number of Lin family and Shanglinli children to become the backbone of Dongyang Township Yong's military attachés, prompting the reconciliation of the contradictions between the Lin and Gu families, so that Lin Xuwen was an official in Yanjing and won the support of the Chu Party.
Lin Tie is to safeguard and promote the interests of the Lin clan in many things, at least after the fall of Shanglinli, the power of the Lin clan has not been weakened, but has been further strengthened thanks to Lin Bin; The most intuitive performance is that Lin Tingli actually mastered Dongyang Township Yong, and Lin Xuwen was able to prepare for affairs with the right capital and the governor of Hejian Mansion this time.
Lin Tingxun died in Jiangning, and Lin Xuwen did not return to Jiangning to keep filial piety, but he was also satisfied with the arrangements made by Lin Bin, Lin Tingli and others for the Lin family, and also recognized Jiangning's various actions in supporting Lin Jian in terms of resources.
***********
When Nahe Xiongqi withdrew from the Wukou Village, he sent a sentry to contact the two divisions on the left and right flanks to recover in time. He withdrew to Wang Dengtai Mountain, and neither of the two cavalry retreated, so he felt that the matter was tricky. Riding on the top of the mountain, looking at both sides, the two cavalry have already started to fight and entangle with the Jiangdong Left Army......
The infantry of the Jiangdong Left Army was formed in formation with 60 soldiers as the basic unit, and Wang Dengtai Mountain, two battalions of the Jiangdong Left Army were 1,200 soldiers, and as far as the eye could see, one could clearly see that these two battalions of the Jiangdong Left Army were like 20 huge pieces of fish scales shining with cold light covering the gray and cold earth. In the northwest of Wang Dengtai Mountain, the three battalions of the Jiangdong Left Army had abandoned their baggage in the field, as if thirty huge scales were swimming towards Wang Dengtai Mountain.
If you look carefully for a while, you will find that even if the Jiangdong Left Army formed a formation with 60 pawns as the basic unit, but after the formation was broken away by the cavalry, it would not cause a crushing rout, and you would find that a whole large scale would spread out smaller scales, and this smaller scale was based on 5 pawns.
In other words, when fighting with other Southern Korean soldiers, as long as the cavalry is used to break up the overall formation of the Southern Korean soldiers and cut them back and forth, they can often form a crushing rout, and this experience cannot be used in fighting the Jiangdong Left Army at all. The cavalry rushed into the infantry array of the Jiangdong Left Army, but not only could not cause a crushing rout, but caused the speed of their own cavalry to drop down suddenly, and they fell into the encirclement of the opponent.
After the two cavalry divisions were deployed, they were entangled with the Jiangdong Left Army, and they lost their advance and retreat, and they did not have an advantage in troops, and they also lost their advantage in mobility.
Nahe Xiongqi had also thought for a long time about this kind of formation operation of the Jiangdong Left Army before, and to deal with the Jiangdong Left Army, he would either use the same formation method to organize the armor soldiers, or suddenly dispatch heavy armored cavalry to attack.
Na Hexiongqi found that he was too conservative in the allocation of troops, in the northwest direction, Timur led more than 1,500 light cavalry, and the left army of Jiangdong infantry cavalry was more than 1,800; In the southeast direction, there were more than 900 light cavalry, and more than 1,200 infantry cavalry of the Jiangdong Left Army, and the distribution of troops was too balanced, resulting in an overwhelming advantage on both sides.
The strong crossbows of the Jiangdong Left Army almost ignored the leather armor on the light cavalry, and a distance of 150 to 200 steps away could cause a large number of casualties on this side, and it was impossible to maintain a complete charge formation when charging, so that the impact on the infantry formation was insufficient. The enemy's flying chariots provided sufficient barriers for the cavalry to further limit the intensity of the assault while the cavalry was hedged. Looking at the spear array that stretched out diagonally and was seven or eight feet high, both men and horses would be afraid to avoid it. Only the best horses and the best riders can leap into the flying chariot and go behind the enemy line during the charge, but such riders are also one in a hundred in Donghu. Due to the huge disadvantage in range, the guerrilla tactics that had been tried and tested in the past also completely failed.
After the battle between the two sides, he stood on Wang Dengtai Mountain to observe with the naked eye, and the casualties of the light cavalry on this side were obviously more than the soldiers of the Jiangdong Left Army.
Can't be entangled like this, Na Hexiong Qi thought for a moment, ordered the deputy behind him, and said: "You gather all the armored cavalry, gallop to the northwest, storm the enemy formation, let Timur and the Jiangdong Left Army get rid of the entanglement, let him come back for me......" The remnants of the Jinzhong soldiers are only five or six miles away from here, and they can come at a marching speed, as long as half an hour. In such a short period of time, he could not concentrate his forces to defeat any of the enemy troops on both flanks, and he had to think about breaking through.
There are only 100 horsemen who can be gathered in Nahe Xiongqi's hands, and it is easy to help Timur break through, but the armor horsemen and horses are all wearing armor and galloping past from here, plus rushing through the enemy formation, the horsepower will almost be exhausted, and it will be difficult to rush back with Timur's troops. There was no way, it made sense to break through and exchange more than 1,000 light cavalry led by Timur with more than 100 armor cavalry, but the wolf smoke that burned from the Vortex Village made him realize that Lin Jian should have other deployments. But there was no way, Lin Tie had already formed a military advantage over them around Wang Dengtai Mountain, and Nahe Xiongqi could only personally lead more than 500 cavalry and rescue the cavalry on the southeast flank first.
