Chapter 20: Brave and Fearless

(The first update, ask for a red ticket)

South of Changyi County.

At night, the rain continued incessantly, and the rain-soaked flags were attached to the pole heads, and there was no trace of spirit. Surrounded by guards, Lin Tie climbed a high ground on the bank of the Jiaolai River, wiped the sweat from his forehead, lifted the rain canopy, and stared at the vast night ahead.

"This rain can't stop for a while, do you want to find a place to rest in the village?" Sun Wenbingshen followed over with one shallow foot, the rain on his body was crooked, the leather armor on his body was also soaked, and the torch in his hand was about to rest, reflecting his yellow and thin face that had not recovered from his injury.

"No, Qingzhou has already made remarks that are unfavorable to our army, and at this time, we must be more cautious in our words and deeds, and do not enter the village easily," Lin Jian shook his head and said, "Tell me to go down, camp on the spot, and set up a shelter to hide from the rain for the wounded and sick first, and when the rain is exhausted, we must continue to hurry." ”

Standing on the high ground, they couldn't see anything, Lin Jian and Sun Wenbing hurried back with a deep foot and a shallow foot, and set up a shelter on the riverbank, with more than a dozen torches illuminating the left and right, and six or seven fast paddle boats parked near the riverbank.

Large sea vessels such as Jinhai, Jiyun I, and Jiyun II can only be moored at the mouth of the Jiaolai River, and only a few fast-paddle warships can sail into the Jiaolai River. In order to accommodate as many armor soldiers as possible and facilitate water engagement, this kind of fast paddle boat has no shelter on the boat, generally speaking, it only uses short-range engagement, which is not conducive to long-distance movement and projection of troops, but Lin Jian only recruited these boats when he entered the Jiaolai River at this time, and most of the Jiangdong Left Army soldiers who swept the chaotic soldiers along the Jiaolai River to the south can only move along the river.

**********

After successfully disarming the 3,000 Qingzhou troops stationed outside Yingkou, Lin Jian led the army to coerce the 3,000 Qingzhou troops directly to Changyi for rectification.

The Qingzhou army left in Qingzhou was mainly based on the original government army, and most of them were local children, Chen Debiao entered Qingzhou City under the support of two battalions of Jiangdong Left Army, except for four or five hundred Qingzhou troops who surrendered and escaped from the city, the rest of the Qingzhou army was quite quietly accepted by the governor's office.

The limited strength of the Jiangdong Left Army could only concentrate on stabilizing the situation in Changyi, Shouguang, Qingzhou and other cities, and did not care about the countryside, and at this time, there were almost more than 4,000 rampant soldiers in the countryside of Qingzhou Prefecture.

On the 24th, Zhang Jinxian led 500 Yangxin Township soldiers into Changyi to take up the post of Qingzhou Prefecture General Judge, and directly rebuilt the Qingzhou Mansion Army on the basis of 500 Yangxin Township Soldiers.

According to the Dayue law system, the county and township soldiers and the government army were subject to the government's general judgment and control, forming a power pattern in which the government general judgment limited the prefect's power. In fact, it is often because of the complexity of the local situation and the fact that there are too many restrictions and no use of local affairs, and it is necessary to strengthen the power of the prefect and other chief officials, so that the prefect can also supervise the military and prepare for the military or concurrently hold the post of supervising the military and preparing for the army.

Liu Yefei is an envoy and a military supervisor of the Qingzhou Prefecture, and even if his power is not as good as that of the governor, it is far more than the Xuanfu envoy of the same level and the admiral who actually has no military power.

Qingzhou military turmoil, Liu Yefei has actually been given a vacancy, Tang Haoxin forced the Shandong Xuanfu Envoy to temporarily transfer Zhang Jinxian to the Qingzhou Mansion to entrust the important task of the Qingzhou Mansion's general judgment, in fact, to use Zhang Jinxian to replace Liu Yefei to control the military and political power of Qingzhou Mansion.

Yangxin was originally a small county, and it was also in an insignificant position in Shandong, and Zhang Jinxian was also an insignificant figure in the officialdom of the Dayue Dynasty, and he was not co-opted by various factions. If it weren't for the brilliant victory of the Yangxin Guard, the leaders of the Western Qin Party, the Chu Party and other factions in Beijing would not even know that there were such figures as Zhang Jinxian and Cheng Weiyuan in Shandong.

The Yangxin Garrison Battle was not only the most glorious victory of the Jiangdong Left Army, but also made Zhang Jinxian, Cheng Weiyuan and other local officials emerge and become famous. It's just that Beijing is panicking about the food shortage, and the progress of the military department and the official department is inevitably slow, and the new formation of the Shandong County Division is a mess, and the promotion rewards for Zhang Jinxian, Cheng Weiyuan and others have not yet been decided.

However, the Qingzhou army was in turmoil, and Liu Yefei was hard to get rid of the crime, Tang Haoxin urged the Shandong Xuanfu envoy and the admiral to urgently transfer Zhang Jinxian to serve as the general judge of the Qingzhou Mansion to control the Qingzhou Army and temporarily replace the affairs of the Qingzhou Mansion, and no one could blame him.

On the night of the 22nd, Tang Haoxin, Chen Debiao, and Ge Zufang jointly wrote a recital, which was actually jointly signed by Chen Debiao and Ge Zufang, and Tang Haoxin wrote a recital, playing the chaos of the Qingzhou army, the rebellion of Shen Liuye Fei, the lack of strictness in the army, and the chaos of the army, and the 800 li of the recital stepped up to Beijing.

Although Beijing was unable to form a resolution on the Qingzhou Army mutiny incident in a short period of time, in order to prevent the situation in Shandong from deteriorating, the reply to the edict sent back urgently on 24 April and 800 li also recognized the subordination of Tang Haoxin and others to the Qingzhou Army mutiny.

On the 24th, he issued an edict, first appointing Tang Haoxin as the ambassador of Xuanfu, and patrolling Shandong County on behalf of the Son of Heaven with the title of Prince Shaobao, controlling the affairs of Shandong counties, Jinhai and Qingzhou, and knowing the affairs of Qingzhou Prefecture. Zhang Jinxian was appointed as the general judge of the Qingzhou Prefecture and the Qingzhou military preparation of the Shandong County Inspectorate, and Du Juefu was appointed as the counselor of the Xuanfu Envoy and the Qingzhou Caoyun Minister. Chen Debiao and Ge Zufang both held their original positions in official positions, and they made meritorious contributions to their crimes, and Liu Yefei was investigated and dealt with.

Lin Jian walked into the canopy, took a bowl of hot ginger soup handed to him by Sun Wenwan, took off the rain and didn't mind the clothes and armor seeping into the rain, and read the official letter from Changyi around the fire.

Although it was the end of March, the clothes and armor on his body were soaked, it was still very cold, and he roasted the bonfire, and after a while, white steam came out, and the person was also comfortable.

The successful suppression of the Qingzhou Army mutiny can be said to be a great victory for Tang Haoxin.

In this situation, no matter how reluctant Zhang Xie was, he could only abandon his pawn in Beijing to protect the car, making the rift between him and Tang Haoxin look less glaring.

Tang Haoxin used the title of prince to patrol Shandong County on behalf of the Son of Heaven, although he did not have the official title of governor, but it was not far behind.

Tang Haoxin also controlled the transportation of Jinhai and Qingzhou at the same time, which probably means that Zhang Xie understood that in the current situation, the affairs of Haicao that were raised in order to solve the grain shortage in Gyeonggi could not be interfered with at all, so he could only put these affairs under Tang Haoxin's name.

Lin Lian's eyes stared at the bonfire, and the fire blew out and measured the sparks falling on his robe and didn't pay attention, Sun Wenwan saw clearly from the side, and hurriedly shot out the sparks on his robe.

"Ahh At this time, Lin Jian noticed that the official robe burned a few holes, moved the tree stump back, and looked up to see Sun Wenwan's beautiful face as white as jade under the firelight, although he was wearing a scribe's shirt, he also looked very moving, and asked with a smile: "Now that the Qingzhou Army mutiny has been suppressed, do you think this matter is more beneficial or disadvantageous?" ”

"What qualifications does a little girl have to discuss political affairs?" Sun Wenwan saw that Lin Bin's smile was somewhat bitter, and she didn't dare to speak casually in front of him, and said in a low voice, "You change this robe, and I'll help you embroider and patch these holes......"

"Do you have to forgive your innocence before you dare to speak?" Lin Jian smiled, kicked Sun Wenwan from a tree stump next to him, and asked her to sit down. There are many things he can only hide in his heart, if Sun Wenwan is strict-mouthed, it doesn't hurt to chat with her, thinking so in his heart, he especially thinks about Xiaoman and Liu Yue'er, if they are around, they can at least sleep peacefully every night.

Sun Wenwan has to pretend to be a man in the army, and she is cautious in front of Lin Bin, but this man's posture is not good, revealing a lot of daughter postures, first pull on her armor, and sit down with the little woman will first grab the skirt as if she sat down, looked at Lin Tie who was staring at the firelight, and whispered: "I said nonsense, suppressing the mutiny of the Qingzhou Army will do a lot of harm!" ”

"Oh!" Lin Jian glanced at Sun Wenwan unexpectedly, after suppressing the mutiny of the Qingzhou Army, Cao Ziang, Lin Mengde and others were quite excited, they didn't expect her to think so, and said, "You say." ”

"The Chu Party in the DPRK and China has evolved into a dispute between Tang Gu and Zhang Yue, which is a disadvantage - of course, Zhang and Yue are aggressive, and it will not work if they don't fight back harshly, but to the extent that the Qingzhou Army mutiny, it is a little too much." Sun Wenwan didn't dare to talk nonsense, and looked at Lin Lian's face carefully while talking.

Lin Jian remained silent, his eyes fixed on the campfire.

Even if some people can't figure it out at first, at this time, most of them can know that Tang Haoxin was behind the Qingzhou Army's mutiny, after all, they finally captured many Qingzhou rebels, and they knew the details after a little interrogation. Although the blame will be pushed on Liu Yefei's head, Lin Lian and the others know it, Sun Wenwan has stayed by Lin Lian's side to take care of it these days, and it is easy to know these things.

"Zhang Xieming was forced to abandon the car to protect the handsome, and entrusted the Shandong affairs to Tang Shaobao, how can I not know that Zhang Xie's plan is to retreat?" Sun Wenwan said again.

"Alas!" Lin Jian sighed, stood up with his hands up, and did not let Sun Wenwan say any more.

Although Tang Haoxin's methods are old and spicy, they are still limited to party struggles, too limited to the struggle for power, and the overall control of the military and political affairs of Shandong County seems to be a great victory in the party struggle after provoking the Qingzhou Army to mutiny, but at this time, Shandong County is a mess that can no longer be rotten.

Zhang Xie took retreat as advance, and smashed Shandong's rotten mess into Tang Haoxin's hands to watch his good show.

In addition to opening a temporary Cao Road in the middle of the Shandong Peninsula, Shandong County also has several very urgent major matters to do: one is to strengthen the Dengzhou Boat Division to cooperate with Li Zhuo's three-way layout concept of Pingyuce, one is to block the Yellow River breach and restore the Cao Canal in Jinan and Pingyuanfu, and first, Jinan and Pingyuan Prefecture all need to be rebuilt, and more than 2 million refugees need to be pacified, in addition, nearly 60,000 town troops are completely disabled and need to be rebuilt......

Every thing has to use a lot of resources, and if one of these things cannot be done or cannot be done well, the situation in Shandong cannot be regarded as stable.

Zhang Xie controlled the household department and the vast majority of the financial resources of the Dayue Dynasty, and if Shandong County was controlled by Zhang Xie's people, Zhang Xie would naturally vigorously tilt Shandong County in the distribution of financial resources of the Dayue Dynasty, and these things could still be done. But at this time, Zhang Xie gave Tang Hao all the mess in Shandong County, and Shandong County would only fall victim to the party struggle between Tang Gu and Zhang Yue.

If the situation in Shandong is unstable, if Shandong completely falls victim to the party and government, what can the Central Plains use to resist the easterners, and how can Li Zhuo's five-year grand wish be realized?

Lin Jian made all kinds of arrangements, and even did not hesitate to make concessions to Liu Yefei, and did not mean to completely bring down Liu Yefei all at once, that is, to strive for the most favorable situation for the Jiangdong Left Army in the unfavorable situation, and did not want the situation in Shandong County to deteriorate to the point of being out of control all of a sudden.

As long as the situation in Shandong can be temporarily stabilized, Lin Jian can rest assured that he can return to Jiangdong to fight the luxury family, and he will have enough time to fight the luxury family, but the Qingzhou army mutiny and Tang Haoxin directly beat Liu Yefei to the point that there is not even a slag left, which completely disrupted his original plan.

To be brave and fearless in the world, Tang Haoxin can only be regarded as a traitor.
