Timur was so angry that he vomited blood in his internal organs, but he stuffed a rag in his mouth, and his body was tied like a rice dumpling with soaked hemp rope, neither scolding nor struggling, his eyes were about to crack, watching Lin Tie them treat him and his beloved armor as a weapon of war in the careful appreciation and play, I can't wait to die at this moment, but this is not up to him.

Lin Mengde, Yang Yihang, and Cao Ziang led the cavalry and auxiliary troops of the Gongli battalion to continue to search and inspect the battlefield, and the infantry of the Jiangdong Left Army and the remnants of the Jinzhong Army were all assembled at the foot of Wang Dengtai Mountain.

Lin Jian sent Wei Zhonglong and Wu Tian to each lead one to Changlu and Qingqi to strengthen the defense of these two villages, and at the same time asked the soldiers and civilians of other villages to gather in Changlu, Qingqi and Wukou from now on, so as to prevent the captives from coming at any time to counterattack.

He asked Ma Yigong and Zhou Tong to go back to Wukou Village with them temporarily, how to fight next, whether to go west, how many troops to bring westward, and how to defend Jinhai, it must be a serious plan.

When Lin Tie led the Jiangdong Left Army to Jinhai, there were many officials and gentry who did not show up when they arrived in Jinhai, and many of the gentry such as the magistrate of Qingxian County, the Cheng of Jinhai County, and the chief bookkeeper gathered in Vortex Village at this time, and they didn't know where they came from.

The three mansions of Yannan were destroyed by the captives and cavalry like this, and they can't all blame these officials for their ineffective resistance, compared to those officials and generals who surrendered the city, the character of these officials and gentry is not much better, and most of them retreated to the dock after the city was broken, and they can be regarded as a member of the resistance behind the enemy.

The key thing is that Lin Xuwen wants to control the place in the name of the right capital and the governor of the Hejian Mansion, and he can only rely on these officials and gentry for the time being. If they want to wash away the guilt of poor resistance, they can only come to hug Lin Xuwen's thigh at this time.

With Lin Xuwen in front of him, Lin Jian let go and didn't ask about local affairs. The remnants of the Jin Zhong army entered the camp in the vortex village, and Lin Jian made the Jiangdong Left Army camp on the two wings of the narrow ground between the vortex village and the sea pond to rest, greeted Liu Zhi and Yang Zhishan, and assigned many military affairs, and he went into a camp tent to sleep.

Lin Jian woke up, there was a bonfire outside the tent, looked up at the sky, the sky was starless and dark, and he didn't know whether it was going to rain or snow, and the guards on duty told him: "Du Bai sent someone to say that when the adults wake up, they will enter the village to discuss the matter......

"What do you have to eat, get me some? I forgot to eat and sleep, and my stomach was hungry......" Lin Jian held his stomach and ordered, ate something to fill his stomach, put on his clothes and armor, first went to the wounded camp to visit the wounded soldiers, and then rushed to the Vortex Village with dozens of guards, Lin Mengde rushed over from behind, and Lin Tie pulled him to the Vortex Village.

At nightfall, a large number of captives appeared in the northwest direction of Qingqi Village, and the battlefield search and inspection work was terminated in advance, and they all withdrew to Wukou Village. The captives suffered this big loss, and did not dare to enter the area between the three villages on a large scale.

Most of the soldiers and civilians in the Wuzhai in Qingqi and Jinhai counties have withdrawn to the three villages of Changlu, Qingqi and Wukou, and those who have not withdrawn cannot be taken into account for the time being, Wu Tian and Wei Zhonglong each have 600 Jin soldiers and a similar number of township soldiers stationed in Changlu and Qingqi villages, and other soldiers and horses and injuries have been withdrawn to Wukou Village.

The remnants of the Jiangdong Left Army and the Jinzhong Army are not counted, and the township soldiers gathered in Wukou Village have 2,000 people.

The number of villagers who evacuated to Wukou Village was as high as 20,000, plus the number of people scattered to other dock villages, about 30,000, who remained in the territory and struggled to survive during the war, and many of them may have fled to other villages, but before the war, the total number of people in Qingxian and Jinhai counties was as high as 220,000.

Vortex Village naturally can't accommodate so many people, Lin Xuwen is now the highest local governor of Hejian Prefecture, when Lin Jian slept heavily, Lin Xuwen borrowed a sea boat with this side to transport people to the sea boat for settlement. The capacity of the 5,000-stone ship is fully reflected, the deck and bilge are used, and the two ships can transport more than 4,000 people at a time. Nearly 9,000 people were transported to the island in two trips, and a third group of people was being organized to board the ship at this time.

Lin Jian looked at the gloomy night sky, but fortunately, they had plans to build a temporary logistics base on the island before, and set up a number of simple shelters to stack military supplies, so that people could avoid the snow and rain at this time. Otherwise, in this cold weather, rain and snow will be drenched on the island, and a large number of people will not be able to freeze to death? Fortunately, Lin Jian transported a batch of rice grain and military materials from Dengzhou in advance and stored them on the island, and Dongyu could not block the sea route, so he did not worry about running out of grain, but he had to immediately organize a ship to go to Dengzhou to transport grain.

On the way, Lin Jian asked about some relief.

Lin Xuwen used to serve in the Ministry of Industry, and he was a technocrat who was much stronger than ordinary officials in his skills in applying the world, and organized the gentry of Jinhai and Qingxian counties to arrange everything in an orderly manner. Even if there are still shortcomings, Lin Jian will no longer have any more words, but just tell Lin Mengde what materials Lin Xuwen needs, and try to support them as much as possible. Help Lin Xuwen gain a firm foothold in Hejian Mansion, and it is impossible for Lin Xuwen to be short of them in the future.

The Zhou family of Vortex Village cleared out the house for Lin Xuwen to use, and Lin Xuwen moved his line from the boat to Vortex Village.

Lin Xuwen went to Hejian Mansion in the name of the right capital and the governor of the military preparations of Hejian Mansion, and was in charge of the military and political affairs of Hejian Mansion during the war, and he could appoint local officials at the county level of Hejian Mansion with the right to appoint, and when he came out of Beijing, he also brought with him a number of civil and military officials below the eighth rank to take a blank leave. First of all, the three villages of Wukou Village, Qingqi and Changlu were awarded low-level loose ranks such as Zhengshilang, Chaofenglang, Rulinlang, and Dengshilang and entrusted with ministry, and the township generals were also awarded low-level military positions such as Xiao Cavalry Captain, Xiao Cavalry Deputy Lieutenant, Yu Cavalry Lieutenant, and Yu Cavalry Deputy Lieutenant, which built up the framework of Hejian Fu Xiangyong.

The remnants of the Jiangdong Left Army and the Jinzhong Army were only guest troops entering the territory of Hejian Province, and the Zhenfu Army in Hejian Province had been completely disabled, and there was not even a single military attache in sight, so the local armament could only start from the Xiangyong.

This is a mess of things, which is enough for Lin Xuwen to be anxious, and Lin Lian saw that Lin Xuwen's black bags under his eyes had grown. Although the great victory in Jinhai made people excited, people are not iron-clad, and since Lin Xuwen left Beijing, he has not slept well. Lin Jian went to the camp tent to sleep when he returned to Wukou Village in the afternoon, and Lin Xuwen didn't even blink his eyes a few times until now.

Lin Xuwen saw Lin Lian coming over, stood up with the bookcase, walked to the atrium, and pulled him to the corner of the courtyard to discuss things: "There is something to discuss with you?" ”

"What the eldest brother commanded, what is there to discuss?" Lin Jian said.

Lin Meng saw that Lin Xuwen had something to do and went to the courtyard to say, for fear that there would be something unpleasant, so he walked into the lobby first and waited.

"No, no, this matter has to be discussed with you," Lin Xuwen said, "Sun Shangwang is a capable person, I am busy here, and I need a talented person who is familiar with local affairs to help me, I want to ask you to bring Sun Shangwang over." If he stays to help me, I will not lose him, as long as you nod and agree, I will immediately grant him the honor of the court......"

Chao Fenglang is from the eighth rank of San, although Sun Shangwang has a reputation for showing talent, but he has not entered the office before, that is, he calculates his military merits, and it is very reluctant to be directly promoted to Chao Fenglang. Although Lin Xuwen has a batch of blanks, they are all nine products, and most of them are from nine products, and squeezing out one from eight products can be regarded as generous.

"If there is an inspection department at the vortex and Sun Shangwang is appointed as the inspector, I can leave him to you, eldest brother......"

"This is easy to do, I promise you," Lin Xuwen said, "At present, the affairs of Hejian Mansion are also concentrated in the vortex, and the inspection department is set up, so that Sun Shangwang can serve as the inspector, which can help me deal with the complicated affairs of more than ten miles ......"

Even though Haecao only flourished for a short time before it was abolished, the vortex was still one of the most important transit points for the eastern coastal region to enter Gyeonggi by sea.

The Lin family has prospered because of the city in Shanglin, and Lin Xuwen can know the importance of the vortex. Besides, the benefits of Lin Tie also have the benefits of the Lin family, why doesn't Lin Xuwen even have this little look?

Lin Xuwen agreed, and took Lin Lian's arm and went inside. Sun Shangwang had already borrowed Lin Xuwen to be responsible for the resettlement of the villagers, and was busy in the lobby, when he saw Lin Xuwen and Lin Xuwen coming in hand in hand, he hurriedly stood up and saluted, but he didn't know that he had sold it to Lin Xuwen and Lin Xuwen.

Lin Xuwen still lacks a talent who can take care of the military affairs of Xiangyong for him, and according to his wishes, he wants to choose one person from Yang Yihang, Ma Yigong, Zhou and others to entrust him with important tasks, but the problem of the remnants of the Jinzhong soldiers is very complicated, and he can't use them rashly, so he can't bear to say it for the time being.

Of course, in Lin Xuwen's heart, it would be better if Lin Jian could leave Zhao Qingshan to him. Zhao Qingshan is a disciple of Shanglinli, and he was born in the township camp of Shanglinli, so he is more reliable than anyone else, but Zhao Qingshan is now the main general of the Jiangdong Left Army, even if he wants to ask for people, he has to wait until after the war.

**********

Walking into the inner house, Liu Zhi, Yang Zhishan, Ma Yigong, Zhou Tong, Yang Yihang, and representatives of local officials and gentry in Jinhai and Qingxian County were already sitting here waiting. Seeing Lin Xuwen, Lin Xu, and Lin Mengde coming in, they all stood up to greet them.

Yang Zhishan said: "Congratulations to Lin Dujian for winning another great victory in Jinhai, our military merits have been tested for the first time, the Jiangdong Left Army and the Jinzhong Army suffered less than 1,500 casualties, and the head of 1,367 was indeed a great victory." In addition, 3,327 horses were seized, thousands of pieces of armor each, and more than 3,000 taels of gold, 67,000 taels of silver, and 70,000 catties of copper......"

"The Jiangdong Left Army has the greatest credit in this battle," Liu Zhi said, "How to distribute this military merit and capture will be decided by Lin Dujian ......"

"You are tormenting Lin Tie," Lin Tie gave up his hands and sat down with Lin Xuwen and others to discuss the matter, Lin Tie did not go through the detailed accounts of the seizure, sat down, turned sideways and asked Liu Zhi and Lin Xuwen and said, "What rules can Lin Dutong and Liu Guanjun discuss?" ”

"Wait for you to come over and decide ......" Lin Xuwen said, here he has the largest official position, but from this moment on, he represents the Hejian Prefecture, Lin Lian represents the Jiangdong Left Army, and Ma Yigong They represent the Jinzhong soldiers, but Ma Yigong They are all only Lin Tie Ma is the first to look forward, and the military merits and captures are all really fought by the Jiangdong Left Army and the Jinzhong soldiers, of course Lin Xuwen will not use the official position to oppress people. Besides, he and Lin Tie are brothers of the same clan, leaving the decision to Lin Tie, naturally he doesn't have to worry about anything, and he can also block the truth of others.

"Since you are all so embarrassed for me," Lin Jian smiled shyly, "I'll just say my opinion, if there is anything wrong, you have to correct it for me......"

"Lord Lin, please give orders, there is no reason for us to disobey......" Ma Yigong spoke on behalf of Jin Zhongbing.

Ma Yigong and the others were convinced by Lin Tie's tone and demeanor, and Liu Zhi was a little unhappy in his heart, but he had just accepted a good knife, and he was naturally much more tolerant of Lin Tie, with a smile on his face, watching how Lin Tie distributed military merits and captured them. Aside from the rest, just over 3,000 horses are a huge amount of money.

"The goods that were seized were also looted by the captives from the three prefectures of Yannan, and there is no reason for this to be privately divided, my opinion is that all of them should be returned to the local treasury for the reconstruction of Hejian Mansion and the relief of refugees," Lin Jian said, "Captain Ma, do you think about it?" ”

"We are all at the command of Lord Lin," Ma Yigong said, "We can struggle to survive in Jinhai and Qingxian, and we all rely on local support, which is the ...... it should be."

After the war, the imperial court will allocate some funds for the reconstruction of millions of people in Hejian Province, but the financial situation of the DPRK and China is tight, and the amount of money that can be allocated is very limited, and the key is to raise funds from the local government itself. The entire Hejian Mansion was crippled and looted, and the place was extremely limited in its own funding.

Lin Jian and Ma Yigong said this, and Lin Xuwen and the local gentry stood up to make a thank-you gift on behalf of the locality, and said: "On behalf of Hejian Prefecture, I would like to thank Lin Dujian and Ma Xiaowei for understanding the righteousness and sympathizing with the local ......."

"Lin Du is polite," Lin Jian smiled, and said, "Military merits and armor and horses have been captured, I think this is good, Jiangdong Left Army, Jinzhong Army, and Hejian Prefecture are each one of the ......."

Aside from the seizure of military assets and goods, military merit does not seem to have any direct benefit to the locality, but for the local gentry, it is natural for the court to award civil and military officials and even lords as rewards for their military merits against foreign clans.

Some businessmen, although their families are hugely rich, but their status is low, they care about this the most, and they usually press more than one end to the government, and they have a casual official status, and they are willing to spend as much money as they see when they see their parents' official abilities. The general's merits are given to the locality, and Lin Xuwen can completely exchange it for silver.

Although Lin Xuwen has the name of the highest local governor, he has no one to ask for money in Hejian Mansion, and it is very difficult for him to gain a foothold. Lin Xuwen can gain a firm foothold in Hejian Mansion, so that the Lin family can infiltrate the forces, and Lin Xuwen promised Sun Shangwang to serve as the inspector of the Vortex Inspection Division, and all the resources left for Hejian Mansion will be prioritized for the construction of the vortex.

Ma Yigong, Zhou and others couldn't figure out what Lin Tie had in mind, it is said that it is appropriate for the Jin Zhong soldiers to have three points of military merit, but the other two points should belong to the Jiangdong Left Army, they saw that Lin Tie distributed half of the credit of the Jiangdong Left Army to the local area, they were very frightened, and hurriedly said: "We are really ashamed, I dare not take so much credit...... "There is no complaint about the general's merit and the capture of the place, but they are unwilling to share the same credit as the Jiangdong Left Army."

Lin Jian was about to patiently persuade Ma Yigong and them to accept such an arrangement, when Cao Ziang hurriedly barged in from outside the door, regardless of the scale, his expression was panicked, and he looked like something was wrong!
