At the end of the Battle of Jiyang, the East China Sea Kou saw that there was no possibility of taking Jiyang, and many reinforcements gathered from all over the country and withdrew from the siege one by one.

Regarding the question of whether to pursue or not, Gu Wuchen asked Lin Jian to consider it at his own discretion.

Without the cooperation of the elite combat power of the naval division, it was impossible to completely annihilate the enemy, Lin Jian and the defenders stationed outside the city were exhausted, and they didn't want to add more casualties, so they returned to the city to rest, Gu Wuchen made the reinforcements from Ninghai Town, who first rushed to Jiyang, pursue the enemy along the Donglai River.

Because Lin Tie delayed the Donghai Kou outside Jiyang City for five days, Xiao Taoyuan, the deputy general of Ninghai Town, the commander of the Sixth Battalion Water Division, and the cavalry captain, was able to transfer the Jiangshan Shui Zhai Water Army, and calmly cleaned up the remnants of the Ninghai Town Water Division on the north shore of Taihu Lake, and gathered more than 2,000 water troops at the mouth of the Donglai River to fight against the Donghai Kou who had hastily withdrawn.

Donghai Kou suffered heavy casualties in the first battle of Jiyang, withdrew from the siege and left, and had no intention of fighting on the river, so that Xiao Taoyuan picked up a lot of results, and to a considerable extent made up for his responsibility for the defeat in the waterfront battle in Taihu North.

The Battle of Jiyang and the subsequent series of water battles at the mouth of the Donglai River and along the river not only reversed the defeat of the Taihu North Waterfront Battle, but also weakened to a certain extent the bad influence of the Donghai Raids on Jiangdong County in the past two months.

In this battle, Guanglin was tied to the north gate of Jiyang City and won more than 300 heads, and Pingjiang Prefecture and Ninghai Town, as well as Jiangdong County Admiral's Mansion, Xuanfu Envoy and Inspectorate Envoy Department announced to the court that more than 4,000 enemies had been killed in this battle.

Lin Jian returned to the city and slept for two days and two nights before waking up.

The final battle of the Donglai estuary and the false reporting of merits brought Xiao Taoyuan a lot of benefits, and the Admiral's Mansion and the Inspectorate also decided not to hold him responsible for the defeat of the Taihu North Waterfront Battle, which is really annoying. Compared with the attack on Xiao Tao, Lin Jian was more concerned about the Ninghai Town Water Division being able to preserve the establishment after the war, which was related to the situation in the coastal prefectures and counties not to completely collapse, and it was also more related to the fact that Changshan Island and Xisha Island did not need to bear the threat of the East China Sea Invaders alone.

Although it is an exaggeration to kill more than 4,000 enemies, Lin Jian estimates that he can kill 1,000 people before and after, and of course the number of injured people will be more, which can be regarded as a lot of results.

If such a big result could be achieved immediately after the attack on Anji County, it would be impossible for the subsequent Taihu Lake coast to be so badly ruined.

Although the Taihu pirates who were far away from Xishan Island in Taihu Lake withdrew from the sea after the first battle of Jiyang, the thirteen Donghai Bandits of the Shengsi Huimeng, which were directly controlled by the luxury family and had the deepest influence, suffered a heavy setback is an indelible fact, and Lin Jian can at least be sure that the Donghai Kou will no longer be able to pose a fatal threat to Xisha Island before the year, and the pressure on Changshan Island will also be relieved, which is the main purpose of Lin Tie's death battle outside Jiyang City.

After the war, Gu Wuchen convened the gentry of Pingjiang Prefecture and counties and the main generals of Ninghai Town in Jiyang City to discuss the local formation of village warriors and garrisons to jointly defend against pirates, and the progress was very smooth.

Chen Xiyan lived in seclusion after the war, rarely appeared, at least did not openly put up resistance to Gu Wuchen's actions in Pingjiang Mansion.

*********

It was only September, Lin Jian was lying on the soft couch in the wing building, looking at the maple forest with crimson and sunset outside the window, and the autumn color was already dark.

Lin Lian's leg was seriously injured, so he could only lie on the bed to recuperate, and Gu Wuchen talked to him about things, and he was also carried over in a sedan chair.

Xiao Man sat in front of the window, supporting his chin, and his small body leaned against the forest to watch the autumn scenery outside the window.

After the Haikou Lake pirates withdrew from Taihu Lake, Pingjiang Mansion also returned to a rare calm, and Lin Jian also needed to be taken care of in Jiyang to recuperate, so Xiaoman and Liu Yue'er rushed to Jiyang.

As the threat of the Donghai Kou was temporarily alleviated, Lin Jian made Lin Jiayong, who was stationed on Xisha Island, led by Zhao Qingshan, to return directly to the mouth of the Jiangning River; There were too many casualties on the cavalry, and Lin Jian made Zhao Hu lead more than 100 prison guards directly to Jiyang to strengthen Gu Wuchen's escort force, which was also in Jiyang County these days. The mansions arranged by Jiyang County for Gu Wuchen, Lin Jian and others to live in were also guarded by Zhao Hu.

Liu Yue'er disappeared at this time, and Xiaoman stayed in the house, in addition to taking care of him, but also to prevent others from using official duties to interfere with his meditation and recuperation.

At this time, there was a commotion in the courtyard downstairs, and the yellow birds on the branches in the courtyard flew away, Xiaoman stood up and looked out the window, and said to Lin Lian: "Many people don't know what to say at the gate of the courtyard, Uncle Ao is going over?" ”

After a while, Ao Canghai led three people upstairs, Lin Jian saw that the three of them were Jiyang Minyong who went out of the city to help in the first battle of Jiyang, and wanted to come outside, Ao Canghai only led three representatives to the wing, and said to Ao Canghai: "It's inconvenient for my feet to walk, you let everyone come up and sit, everyone lives and dies together, I can't take a shelf and let everyone wait in the yard......"

"It's absolutely undesirable to come and disturb adults to recuperate, they are all coarse people, and they can't speak, and their bodies are very ......dirty," the three of them hurriedly said, "We just read the adult's injury, and came to see you." ”

Lin Jian asked Ao Canghai to invite everyone up, brought a bench, more than 20 people crowded and sat down in the wing building, Liu Yue'er rushed over and made tea for them with Xiaoman.

Gu Wuchen is going back to Jiangning tomorrow, there is no big threat on Xisha Island for the time being, Lin Jian will also follow back to Jiangning to recuperate, maybe there will be no chance to meet these people in the future, it is rare that they have the heart to visit, Lin Jian asked him Liu Yue'er to prepare a few tables of dinner, and he wanted to leave everyone for dinner.

casually chatted with everyone and asked about the pension and reward distribution of the casualties in Jiyang County after the war.

If it weren't for the participation of a large number of volunteer village warriors and temporarily recruited people (some of whom were prisoners in the county jail, Gu Wuchen promised to eliminate their crimes after the war and recruit them as dead soldiers to go out of the city to help the war), Lin Jian would not have been able to hold out outside the city to the end. In addition to the heavy casualties of the armed guards and the anti-cavalry, these people who had not undergone much training but forgot about life and death suffered extremely heavy casualties, with more than 600 people killed in the battle, and countless people were injured. The more than 20 people who came to visit Lin Jian were still wrapped in wounds.

When dinner was ready, Lin Jian asked people to prepare a soft couch for him to sit down at the table, and asked Ao Canghai to call all the generals and guards over to eat and drink together.

The Wuwei who came to Jiyang with Lin Tie sacrificed 17 people in this battle, and Lin Tie transported their bodies to Jiangning for burial by ship; There were 21 seriously injured people, and Lin Jian sent them all to Xisha Island for treatment, and then transferred their families to Xisha Island to take care of them, intending to place them all on Xisha Island; There were only eight guards left who were slightly injured and could still stay with Ao Canghai by Lin Lian's side.

Lin Lian didn't care about his leg injury, he drank a lot of wine with everyone, and Gu Siyuan and Zhao Qinmin came over halfway, and when they saw that the wine was drinking lively, they left without saying anything, and Lin Lian didn't care about them.

These Jiyang Township Yong thought that Gu Siyuan and Zhao Qinmin might have something to do to find Lin Lian, and they drank all the wine in the bowl one after another and stopped adding wine, Lin Lian saw that they had something on their minds, and sat on the soft couch and asked: "Do you have anything difficult to do, tell me about it, and I'll help you do it?" ”

When these Jiyang villagers heard Lin Jian say this, they all knelt down in the lobby and took the lead in saying: "We individuals, helpless, and lowly in status, many of us are ruined by pirates, and we want to follow adults, but we don't know how to speak, and I'm afraid that we don't have the ability to dislike adults......"

"Hurry up, Canghai, you help me help everyone up," Lin Jian sat on the soft couch and stood up, let Ao Canghai and Zhu Wuwei help everyone up, and said, "Speaking of which, I am ashamed of everyone," pointing to Ao Canghai and Zhu Wuwei, said, "They follow me, they come and go in the wind and rain, they have suffered a lot, they are still born and died, they can't eat fragrant food or drink spicy food, the rules are still heavy, and I am afraid that I can't live with everyone......"

"Life and death are fate, as long as it is a rule set by an adult, we can all abide by it, and we just ask the adult to take it in......"

At this time, Yang Pu walked in from the outside, saw the person kneeling on the ground inside, and said with a smile: "I heard that there is drinking here, and I want to rush over and have two drinks." ”

Lin Jian asked General Ao Cang and Zhu Wuwei to help everyone up, and said to Yang Pu: "These people are helpless, they can trust me, I will take them back to Jiangning tomorrow, and I will inform Jiyang County at night, and I will let Canghai do it!" What is Uncle Yang looking for me? ”

"The main thing is to drink," Yang Pu said with a smile, "I didn't expect you all to finish drinking." ”

"Then warm another pot, and I'll accompany Uncle Yang to drink it." Lin Lian said, just now Gu Siyuan and Zhao Qinmin walked in halfway, and left without saying anything, Yang Pu also came over, there should be something to say, Lin Lian asked Ao Canghai to take everyone to settle down first, and then take these people to Jiangning before making arrangements.

asked Liu Yue'er to prepare two more side dishes on the wing, and rushed Zhao Hu back from duty, so Lin Jian called Zhao Hu over, opened the window, and the three of them drank together.

"Zhao Hu has been a martial artist for more than half a year, and this time he has also made meritorious contributions in Chongzhou, and after returning to Jiangning, it is more than enough to be promoted to lieutenant of Xiaocai," Yang Pu didn't play sloppy with Lin Lian, and knew that he couldn't hide anything from him, so he said to him directly, "My lord means to let Yang Shi go to the Dongyang army to exercise, and I'm afraid that your manpower is too tight." ”

"Yang Shi should also stand alone," Lin Jian said, "No matter how short of manpower is on Prison Island, everything must be based on Dongyang's side." Yang Shichu didn't have any foundation when he went to Dongyang, and he was familiar with some martial arts on Prison Island, so he let him bring them over. ”

Compared with the control of Dongyang Xiangyong, which has a staff of 4,000 people, the interests of Prison Island are relatively small, and it is probably the Battle of Jiyang, which made Gu Wuchen and others fully realize the importance of directly controlling an elite division.

Gu Wuchen can use very limited manpower, others are not as trustworthy as Yang Shi, the son of the family, in addition, Yang Shi also has the talent to lead the troops, Gu Wuchen transferred Yang Shi to Dongyang, Lin Jian knew that this also meant that Dongyang Xiangyong's affairs would not have his share.

If Gu Wuchen transferred him to meddle in Dongyang Xiangyong's affairs, Lin Lian thought that he would even have to find an excuse to prevaricate, after all, the focus in the future would be on the line of Changshan Island, Xisha Island and Prison Island, but Gu Wuchen excluded himself so obviously, Lin Lian felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

Lin Jian did a good job of hiding his emotions in the mellow rice wine.

The casualties of the anti-cavalry were very large, more than 400 anti-cavalry, and in the end, there were only more than 80 people who held on to the end with Lin Tie, and many times it turned out that the military household was unusable, so Gu Wuchen directly recruited from the people who survived the bloody battle of Jiyang.

Gu Wuchen even didn't hesitate to delay for two more days for this, no wonder Lin Jian stayed for more than 20 Ji Yang Min Yong to have dinner, Gu Siyuan and Zhao Qinmin left without saying anything when they saw it, maybe they thought that they were competing with them here.
