Yang Shi was reluctant in his heart, but according to Lin Bin's instructions, he divided the remaining soldiers into two teams, led by him and Zhao Hu, and took turns to be on duty and training. Early in the morning, Zhao Hu was on duty, and Yang Shi was also ruthless, to train an elite team to come out within three months to raise his eyebrows, and early in the morning, he drove the soldiers to the open space outside the high wall to practice.

The eldest grandson Geng, Shi and Mao had never seen the prison guards practice so diligently in the past, and those unworthy servants were curious to come out and stand on the sidelines.

Lin Jian first asked the Wupeng boat parked on the island to send Lin Mengde back to the south shore, and when the Wupeng boat came back, he took Zhou Pu, Wu Qi, Lin Jingzhong, and five guards who practiced the splitting technique in the morning to give the nose and eyes that were more blue and swollen to the prison hall, and planned to take a boat to the Chaotianyi ferry in the north of Chaotiandang.

Walking out of the gate of the prison, the errand on the island stood giggling and watched Yang Shi practice the soldiers in the clearing, Lin Jian asked a guard guard to stay, pointed to the servants who were standing aside and laughing, and said: "You stay, train them with the method of the barracks, if anyone is disobedient, the stick will be added to the ......."

The guard soldier was just an ordinary pawn before yesterday, but because of his strong body and rough boxing skills, he picked out Yang Shi, and beat Zhao Hu again, and at night he received a notice that he was a guard for the prison officer, saying that he was a guard, but this morning he gave the prison master a wooden knife to chop people on their backs, and at this time, they were sore and had to escort the prison master to the north shore to run errands, but they were suddenly designated to stay and train these errand soldiers...... The guard was stunned there, dazed, and wanted to tell the Prison Master how he knew what the military camp training technique was, but seeing that the Prison Lord had already led everyone towards the dock, he didn't listen to his explanation at all, so he had to scold the eight or nine officers in front of him: "It's all ...... stand."

However, the panic caused by the prison clearance and the fear of the new prison officer made the officers dare not ignore the order of this soldier, although they did not know how to stand, they still did not dare to delay and quickly stood up straight in front of the guard. The self-confidence in this world is also simple, looking at the nervous expressions of the servants and their respectful expressions, the guard soldier relaxed in his heart, thinking in his heart \/It is also easy to practice these turtle egg sons, which one is disobedient, and he smoked his stick, trying to recall how he had just entered the barracks to practice......

Lin Jian didn't care what happened behind him, he got on the boat with Zhou Pu, Lin Jingzhong and four other guards, and after getting on the boat, he said to Zhou Pu and Lin Jingzhong: "Don't say that you have to train the errand service, the prisoners in the prison will also have to practice to a certain extent in the future, there are many things to do, take your time step by step." ”

There are nearly 40 miles of waterway from Prison Island to Chaotianyi on the north shore, and when the boat arrives at Chaotianyi Ferry, I really feel that there are more displaced people this year than in previous years. Along the river, the counties are strictly prevented from crossing the river, a large number of displaced people are drowned on the north bank of the river, young and strong men are not willing to beg for a living, most of them go to the ferry wharf to see if there is any strength to do work, the ferry is surging with the power stick that comes out to find work, the spring cold weather, all ragged clothes. When Lin bound their boat to the shore, the power sticks rushed over, and before they could open their mouths to ask for work, the four guards jumped on the dock and drove them away.

The vigilance of Chaotianyi Ferry was also tighter than before, Lin Jian was tall and sharp-eyed, and saw the Moling County Hufang Shushu Office and two soap-clothed officials standing at the end of the ferry waiting, beckoning: "Chen Shuban, let you wait for a long time......

"I can't talk about it, what Lord Chen ordered, how dare Chen slack off?" Chen Shuban and the officials came over to give Lin Jian a salute.

Lin Jian and Moling Zhixian Chen/Yuan Liang agreed, he and Lin Jingzhong came to the north bank to select strong and strong people from among the displaced people to enter the Jiyun Society as a force, and Moling County compiled these displaced people and their actual genus into the county yellow book to settle down for them. At the appointed time, Chen/Yuan Liang specially asked the county household secretary office to lead the government to the north shore to listen to Lin Bin's arrangement, and Chen Shuban and the two government officials took a boat directly to the north shore from the Setshan ferry port before noon.

"Jingzhong, you accompany Chen Shuban and the two elder brothers of the government to eat and rest first, and talk about other things in the afternoon," Lin Jian patted Chen Shuban's shoulder and said, "I still have some small things to do, and I can't accompany this meal at noon......

"Lord Lin is busy in advance, don't worry about us." Chen Shuban said.

Lin Jian asked the four guards to follow Lin Jingzhong and them together, and Wu Qi left first after he went ashore.

Lin Tie and Zhou Pu found a tea shed to drink tea in the north of Chaotianyi Ferry, the tea shed is very simple, a few bamboo poles are inserted into the ground to support a thatched roof, and the northeast and west sides are surrounded by lacquered cloth to block the wind, but there is still wind leaking in.

The spring cold is precipitous, except for Lin Jian and Zhou Pu, no one else is blowing cold wind in the tea shed, and after drinking a bowl of tea, Wu Qi brought Cao Ziang and Hu Qiaozhong over.

"Brother Lin......" Hu Qiaozhong didn't see Lin Tie for a long time, and called enthusiastically.

"It's thin again, it's dark again," Lin Lian put his hand on Hu Qiaozhong's shoulder, planning to him, and said, "Enze is on the south bank, and when you cross the river, you can get together." ”

Among the teenagers in Chongzhou, Hu Qiaozhong and his cousins Hu Qiaoguan and Chen Enze are the most courageous and knowledgeable of power changes, Lin Tie took Chen Enze with him, and Changshan Island also let Hu Qiaozhong and Cao Ziang leave the island this time.

Lin Jian invited Cao Ziang to sit down and speak: "What did Master Cao get here?" ”

"Just call me by name," Cao Ziang said, "I made an appointment to meet at Chaotianyi today, I almost didn't catch the trip, Hongzepu was closed to fishing, and we almost made trouble, we took an extra day of detour!" ”

"Closed fishing? What's going on with the closure of Hong Zepu? Lin Jian asked.

"I'm afraid that your officials in Jiangning don't know this news either," said Cao Ziang, who had just come to Jiangning after a big circle from the north, "After the luxury family returned to Shun, in the early winter of last year, the imperial court secretly transferred 10,000 elites of Chen Zhihu from Li Zhuo's department to Jinzhong. Chen Zhihu was ruthless and vicious, when he led his troops through Wu County in Jinzhong, it happened that the villagers of Wu County gathered to resist donations, he first ordered 300 cavalry guards to attack and block the official road to resist donations, killing people and killing people full of blood, and then slaughtered nearly 1,000 people in several nearby villages for the crime of rebellion. The villagers are afraid of it like a snake and scorpion, but the townspeople regard it as a rain. How many people have not done anything to resist donations, rent resistance, and eating large households? It's just that the people in the north are fierce, and the elite soldiers from Jinzhong, Xiqin and other places have been transferred to strengthen the northern defense line, so the villagers are making trouble due to the disaster, and the local people are forbearance and appeasement. Now that there are elite soldiers who will be transferred out of the southeast battlefield, the local people will no longer be patient, not only will they no longer be patient, but they will also turn over the old accounts of Chen Sesame and rotten grain. The villages that have caused trouble do not ask about the first crime or the crime, and they arrest people in the past, and kill them if they resist at the slightest time...... From the early winter of last year to the New Year's Day, a total of 40,000 elites in the southeast battlefield were transferred to the northern front, and these 40,000 elites were not in a hurry to strengthen the defense line in the Yanshan area. What bandits are not bandits, there are a lot of soil enclosures in the north, and the villagers built earthen enclosures to prevent bandits and thieves, and this time I heard that as long as there are people participating in the anti-donation of the soil enclosures, most of them will be discarded as bandits. Last autumn and winter, fortunately we didn't go to Zhongzhou, where the hunting was even more severe, and almost all adult men escaped from the border for refuge. ”

"Stupid, stupid," Lin Jian said, "No wonder there hasn't been much news about the battle situation on the Northern Front in the Tang Newspaper recently, and the people who want to plan this matter also know that if the news leaks out, it will be scolded by the people of the world, how can there be any reason to settle old accounts with the people under his rule?" There is no such security law in the outside! ”

"Hehe," Cao Ziang sneered twice and said, "The displaced people are surging south, the pressure on law and order in the prefectures and counties along the Huai River has increased greatly, and the anti-theft camp has expanded greatly. Expansion is nothing more than an increase in troops, and the money to raise troops, not only Hongzepu, but also the middle and upper reaches of the Huai River prefectures and counties have tacitly allowed the anti-theft battalions to seal off fish and collect river donations in their respective jurisdictions...... The river donation was originally an expedient measure taken by Li Zhuo in the southeast to raise military salaries in Jiangdong, Liangzhejiang, and Jiangxi, and it was never implemented in the area north of Hongzepu. When we came here this time, in the north of Shiliang County, there were a large number of fishermen gathered, and I don't know if anything will happen......

Lin Jian didn't expect the situation in the north to be so grim, there were some things he knew, and what he knew was not as clear as Cao Ziang's personal trip from the north; There are some things that are not recorded in the Tang newspaper, but presumably Gu Wuchen knows about them, and presumably Gu Wuchen thinks that there are some central secrets that there is no need for him to know. Thinking that after the DPRK and China drew the elite from the southeast battlefield, they did not immediately strengthen the Yanshan battlefield, but first dispersed to the northwest to clear the bandits, maybe they were also worried that the elite transferred from the southeast battlefield would continue to form a group, so they first divided the bandits, and then dispersed into the northern defense line, but those who made decisions in the center did not know that the elite could only play a greater role if they formed a group.

Lin Jian sighed slightly, and said: "We can't control these things, can Ziang gain anything from this trip?" ”

"When I left Changshan Island, Mr. Qin and the crow hadn't come back yet, and they couldn't talk, but it wasn't far from what I expected," Cao Ziang said, "I heard Wu Qi just now, if you can arrange for 100 homeless families to settle in Moling County on the south coast this time, then there should be no problem in inserting 30 people in, right?" ”

"As long as you are innocent, there is no problem." Lin Jian said with a smile.

Qin Chengzu's rogue Ma Kou booby-trapped the government last year, suffered heavy losses, and after all the withdrawals to Changshan Island, there were more than 40 elite combat forces left, and it was very difficult to gain a long-term foothold in the waters of Changshan Island, but Qin Chengzu They have been in Huaishang for ten years, and they have a great influence on the fierce Huai, and Cao Ziang is erecting a pole to pull people and horses in the north this time.

"It happened that it was a year of bandits and famine in the north, and a tide of displaced people was formed early," Cao Ziang said, "On the road, ten coppers and two liters of white noodles can be exchanged for a genuine tooth card, and these thirty people are either disguised as father and son, or uncles and nephews, or brothers, a total of nine households." Their family members all went directly to the island from Qingjiangpu, but there are only two or three people who really know Lin Ye's identity, and they will meet Lin Ye when they go to the south bank of the Yangtze River, and everyone else doesn't know the details, only when there is someone next to you who is the inside line we bought, and then Lin Ye looks at the mark at the ferry and chooses someone, and I will be regarded as taking refuge in Lin Ye in the future......"

"What do you say? It doesn't matter if you see me or not, your family will be basically reliable when you go to the island," Lin Jian said, "After arriving on the south shore, I will first practice in a small boat, and within a month, I will prepare a three-masted boat for Ziang and you......"

Now a batch of materials will be directly transported to Changshan Island every two months, not because I am afraid that the waterway will be checked, but because I am worried that the ship is too small to withstand the wind and waves, but the ship is too big, and there is not enough tight-lipped escort manpower, and now Cao Ziang personally led thirty people in, and a three-masted cargo ship with a thousand stone loads, sailors, guards, and handymen are all complete, and this ship can be used as a secret warship of Jiyun Society in Jiangning.

"Ziang asked someone to pick up his sister-in-law and Long Zizi from the island." Crow Wu Qi said.

"Ah," Lin Jian looked at Cao Ziang, "Jiangning is in danger, how can you let your sister-in-law and nephew be in danger?" ”

"The leopard has no roots, and the crow has no roots—these two bachelors, it's too cumbersome for them to find their mothers-in-law—I don't have any roots to show others, how can I do it?" Cao Ziang said.
