Chapter 11: Elbow and armpit changes
(The second update, ask for a red ticket)
"My father was afraid that things would get worse and worse, and it would become more and more out of control, so he ordered the thousands of children of the Xihe Society to abandon their weapons and let the garrison arrest them," Speaking of this, Sun Wenwan, who had a strong temperament, couldn't help but shed tears, "The grain supervisor arrested my father, the Xihe Society, and the more than 4,000 people of the Zhuhe Gang who gathered in Changyi as rebels. The rights and wrongs are still there, and we are not particularly worried, thinking that as long as the court investigates clearly, it will give us justice. At that time, I hid outside Changyi City with a few congregants, and sent people to find my second brother, thinking that if the matter could be accommodated by the Jiangdong County Division, it might not be so bad. Unexpectedly, on the night of the 13th, things would change again, and the officials of the Shandong County Department who came forward to suppress the mutiny insisted on characterizing the Changyi mutiny as a premeditated rebellion led by our Xihe Society. The officers and soldiers not only tortured the arrested congregants, but also instigated some river gangs to come forward and falsely accuse my father. Several bosses of the Suyu Society were unwilling to give a beating, and escaped from prison late at night while the guards were negligent, and I went over to meet with the hidden congregation and learned some details. Subsequently, a large number of officers and soldiers rushed to round up, and everyone did not dare to be captured anymore and rushed out of the encirclement together. Under the cover of a dozen congregants, I fled to Laizhou, and before I could say a few words to my second brother, the officers and soldiers came after us, and we had to ride a few fast horses and flee north, to find the adults to administer justice......"
Listening to Sun Wenwan explain in detail the whole process of the mutiny of the Changyi River Gang, Lin Lian's tough face was tense, and he paced in the room with his hands behind him.
Cao Ziang and Lin Mengde both frowned, they didn't expect things to deteriorate to such a point, and they never thought that the grain supervisors of the Shandong County Department and the household department would be incompetent and mediocre to such a point: regardless of the water situation, they forced the Cao boat to sail in, which led to a big blockage of the boat, and put the blame on the head of the River Gang, and they even killed more than 70 people indiscriminately.
But that's not what the thing says, the Shandong County Division transferred troops to suppress the River Gang mutiny, and everyone is in the hands of the Shandong County Division, whether the matter is black or white, it is all the Shandong County Division's final say.
"I hope that my lord will save the lives of my father, the Xihe Society and the children of the Zhuhe Gang, they are really wronged! My father was cautious all his life, transporting bad grain for the imperial court, he was honestly afraid, he didn't dare to have a trace of neglect, how dare he have a little bit of dissent! Sun Wenwan got up on the bed and knelt down towards Lin Lian, buried her head between her arms, her hair spread out, covering her head and face, revealing only a tender white neck stalk, and her body trembled with resentment and fear.
"Don't worry, I won't do anything about this......" Lin Tie pressed Sun Wenwan's weak shoulder to comfort her, only then did he feel that this woman was extremely weak, he stared at the brick floor in front of the tip of his shoe, and was silent for a long time.
Cao Ziang and Lin Mengde didn't speak, this matter was too tricky, Jiangdong Zuoying was not qualified to exert influence on the Shandong County Division and the Household Department, I was afraid that there would be a solution if Tang Haoxin came forward, but they were not in a hurry to speak for a while, for fear of interfering with Lin Bin's train of thought.
"Pass on my military order," Lin Lian Huoran stood up and ordered, "In the name of the exercise, Zhou Pu and Ning Zechen led their troops to immediately enter the shallows north of Jinhaicang to form a formation and defend it, fully take over and blockade Jinhaigang, and carefully guard against the southern attack of the Jibei Army; The ships shall immediately stop unloading, and shall complete the replenishment of food, water, and ordnance according to combat standards before nightfall, and the battalions shall complete the preparations for boarding and assembling before nightfall......"
"Ahh Cao Ziang and Lin Mengde never expected that Lin Jian had thought for a long time, and decided to lead the entire division of the Jiangdong Left Battalion to enter Shandong. The Jiangdong Left Battalion assembled and mobilized in Jinhai, even if it was to blockade the Jinhai port, it could still be used in the name of drills, but if the whole army entered Shandong without announcing it, at best, it was a military admonition, a military admonition, and at worst, what is the difference between plotting rebellion and rebellion?
Sun Wenwan raised her head and looked at Lin Tie with a slight startle, she and her second brother rushed all the way over, only hoping that Lin Tie could come forward for the Xihe Society, but she didn't expect that Lin Tie would resolutely gather an army for the Xihe Society to force Shandong, and directly ask for people from Shandong by force. She was full of emotion for a while, excited and didn't know what to say, at this moment she could only pin all her hopes on the man in front of her who had occasionally entered her dreams, and everything was arranged by him.
Sun Wenwan was excited, her heart rushed, she gritted her teeth and persevered until now, but at this time, her body was crooked and she passed out. Lin Jian tested her pulse, and saw that her pulse was stable and nothing serious, so he ordered the soldier who was waiting outside the door to boil a decoction to nourish blood and nourish qi.
"Do you ask Tang Shaobao to come forward and be tolerant, isn't there no turning point?" Lin Mengde said.
"I'm afraid it's too late," Lin Jian shook his head, "We must make a gesture of the whole army going south, so that the Shandong County Division will not dare to kill people indiscriminately!" Only by saving everyone's lives first can there be room to turn around and sit down together to reason! ”
Lin Mengde was slightly stunned, and Cao Ziang asked beside him, "Are you worried that Shandong will specifically target Xihehui?" ”
"It may not be the case, but we must live the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain," Lin Jian said with a serious expression, "What's more, these beasts are not gentlemen at all!" After the destruction of Jinan, almost all the main officials of the Dongshan County Division were killed, and almost all the newly appointed officials and the officials sent by the household department to Shandong to supervise grain this time were all from the line of Zhang Xie and Yue Lengqiu. ”
With Lin Lian's recovery of Hejian Mansion, the newly appointed officials of Hejian Mansion are inextricably linked to Lin Lian, Jinan and Pingyuan were recovered by Yue Lengqiu's army, and many of the local officials of Shandong County Division and Jinan and Pingyuan Prefecture were directly planted by Yue Lengqiu.
Cao Ziang nodded and said: "Maybe the mutiny in Changyi is something that everyone doesn't want to see, but the mutiny has happened, and thousands of children of the Xihe Society and the Zhuhe Gang have been brought to justice as rebels...... In any case, we must be ready to prepare the whole army for action. ”
"Wouldn't it be too risky?" Lin Mengde was still a little worried, Cao Ziang was born in Ma Kou, and he said that he would turn his face with the court, and he didn't have many scruples, but Lin Mengde was worried about more things than Cao Ziang, and hesitated for a while before he said, "Then prepare according to this first, Tang Shaobao and the eldest prince must also communicate first, especially Ma Yigong and Yang Yihang, and communicate well......
"This side is blocking the harbor and the whole army is ready to go, not only Tang Shaobao and the eldest prince, but Hao Zongcheng will also be unable to sit still," Lin Jian said in a cold voice, "Ma Yigong, Yang Yihang, Ziang, you go and communicate in person." I don't have any additional requests for them, if they still remember the feelings of fighting in Jinhai and Yangxin, before Jiangdong Zuoying leaves Jinhai, the Jinzhong army can stay in the camp and not show his face, it will give me a big face. ”
Cao Ziang nodded, this is also a good opportunity to test which side the Jin Zhongjun will stand on at a critical moment.
Lin Lian, Lin Mengde, and Cao Ziang made up their minds, and immediately summoned Zhou Pu, Ge Cunxin, Zhao Qingshan, Ning Zechen, Ao Canghai, Sun Shangwang, Wu Qi and others, as well as all the generals above the deputy sentinels, to the big tent to discuss and arrange the assembly of the army.
***********
After the ships stopped unloading and raised half sails to replenish fresh water, ordnance and other materials on the north bank of the Vortex River, they had not attracted the attention of everyone on the north bank of the Vortex River, but at dusk, Zhou Pu and Ning Zechen led two battalions of soldiers to brazenly enter the north bank of the Vortex River, blocking the passage between the Jinhai Cang and the Jibei Army garrison, and blockading the Tianjin Harbor.
When the army was governed in the world, there was only one thing to say, but the people of Jinhai knew some new terms such as "actual combat drills" from the Jiangdong Zuoying. The Jiangdong Left Battalion conducted military exercises in Jinhai, not once or twice, but this time without informing other yamen to directly block the passage between the Jibei Army and Jinhaicang and block the Jinhai Port, people with a little vision know that things will not be as simple as they seem.
When the Jiangdong Zuoying blocked the passage between Jinhaicang and Jibei Army, Liu Zhi and others were still in the Yamen of the Caoyun Division of Jinhai.
Liu Zhi panicked for a while, he didn't know what was going on, and he didn't dare to go to Lin Xuwen and Lin Jian to ask what happened, for fear that he would not even have a chance to escape.
Liu Zhi has the title of deputy envoy of Jinhai Guan Junrong, and is the deputy director of the garrison of Jinhai, nominally able to coordinate and mobilize the garrisons of various departments, he thought about it, and finally sent someone to find Ma Yigong, hoping that Ma Yigong would send someone to escort him to the Jibei army camp in the north to find Hao Zongcheng.
Cao Ziang had already communicated with Ma Yigong and Yang Yihang, and Ma Yigong directly rejected Liu Zhi's request for troop transfer, and told the messenger sent by Liu Zhi that the bandits in Jinhai were five or six miles away, and there was no reason to send troops to escort them.
Liu Zhi led more than a dozen guards to the north in shock, and Zhou Pu, who blocked the passage, had no intention of leaving Liu Zhi in trouble and let them go.
Seeing Hao Zongcheng, Liu Zhi's heart finally fell, and in the spring cold season, he wiped the fine sweat oozing from his forehead, and asked Hao Zongcheng: "Seeing Hao Changzhi here, I can be regarded as having a reassurance." Lord Hao, you said that Lin Jian took the wrong medicine, and suddenly sent troops to block the passage, blockade the Tianjin Port, and blockade the Tianjin Sea Cang......"
Hao Zongcheng asked Liu Zhi with a calm face: "You came back from the south, what are the movements of Ma Yigong and Yang Yihang?" ”
"These brutes, adults and them don't care about their past suspicions, let them stay in Jinhai, I asked Ma Yigong to send someone to send me to the north, he pushed back, I see that they have long worn the same pants as Lin Lian, they are wild wolves who can't raise a family," Liu Zhi suddenly thought of a possibility, and asked in a frightened voice, "Lord Hao, do you say that Lin Lian is trying to rebel like this?" ”
"What nonsense!" Hao Zongcheng scolded, although he was also a little worried about this, but he must not say this worry. Although he has 20,000 Jibei troops in his hands, there are 6,000 elite soldiers in the Jiangdong Left Battalion and the Jin Central Army. If Lin Lian and the Jinzhong soldiers really wanted to change, Hao Zongcheng didn't know whether he would lead 20,000 Jibei troops to quell the rebellion, or pack up and immediately flee the land of right and wrong in Jinhai.
Hao Zongcheng hesitated, deep down in his heart, he never wanted Lin Lian to change with his soldiers, and he also felt that this possibility was extremely small, Lin Lian and Lin Xuwen and others were being favored, what good was the change for him?
