The sky is cold and clear, the sea is blue, the sentinel boat is like a shuttle, and there are fast oars on both sides to go over to check, Lin Lian looked at the sentinel boat that came to ask to board the Dongyang by the side of the boat, and waited to see the appearance of the middle-aged man wearing a short robe and a horse coat and a melon skin hat at the bow of the boat, and was slightly stunned.

Lin Mengde was also surprised to see the appearance of the person who came, and said, "Why did he come over?" ”

Lin Tingxun's eldest son, Lin Xuwen, stayed in Beijing as an official after being admitted to the Jinshi during the first emperor, and accumulated eunuchs for more than ten years to Langzhong in the Ministry of Industry, when he was Chinese New Year's Eve nine years old, and his official residence was five grades, and he was also a middle-aged and powerful official. In the past ten years, Lin Xuwen has occasionally returned to his hometown to visit relatives, and Lin Lian, as a child of the clan who is not taken seriously, has almost no opportunity to contact him, and his impression of him is very weak. It's just that Lin Xuwen and his father Lin Tingxun seem to be printed in the same mold, with narrow eyes, thin face, and pointed chin, and a short beard under the chin like Lin Tingxun.

Lin Jian and Lin Mengde never expected that Lin Xuwen would come to Jinhai.

Lin Xuwen climbed up from the rope ladder, Lin Lian reached out to help, and was still thinking about how to deal with it, Lin Xuwen grabbed the side of the boat with one hand, and said with a smile: "The old father said when he was alive that the Lin family will definitely produce a shining character in this generation, old seventeen, you fought beautifully in the two battles in Cangnan!" ”

"Compared with the eldest brother, Seventeen's achievements are far from enough." Lin Jian laughed, grabbed Lin Xuwen's arm, and pulled him to stand on the deck.

Lin Mengde looked at the young man about thirty years old who came on the boat behind Lin Xuwen, and his bearing was also quite extraordinary, not like the entourage brought by Lin Xuwen, so he stretched out his hand to pick him up, and asked with a smile: "This adult, how do you call it?" ”

"Don't dare to be, Yang Zhishan, director of the Ministry of War, ......" The young man was a little uncomfortable with the bumps on the sea, and only after standing still did he arch his hand and said, and then turned around and picked up a middle-aged man with a feminine appearance, beardless lips and a white face like a girl, and said, "This is Lord Liu Zhiliu, the official of the Provincial Bureau of Internal Service......

It's finally here, Lin Jian thought to himself, and was busy with Yang Zhishan, the head of the Ministry of War, and Liu Zhi, the eunuch of the Provincial Bureau.

*********

Twice killed the enemy and won a great victory of more than 1,000 levels, Lin Liandu sent messengers to sneak to Beijing to report the victory.

The messenger who reported the victory for the first time had already rushed back from Yanjing and brought back some rewards from the imperial court.

Lin Jian was not promoted again, and was given a scarlet official robe, a green armor coat, and more than 100 gold and silver coins. Lin Jian was the seventh-grade capital supervisor at this time, and the official clothes were cyan according to the system, and the scarlet color was the official clothing color of the officials above the fifth grade. However, if Lin Jian was martyred in the war or became a post-war official, he could enjoy the political treatment of a five-grade official.

The commanders of the four battalions of Zhao Qingshan, Ning Zechen, Cao Ziang, and Zhou Pu were all promoted to the rank of lieutenant from the eighth rank of Xiaocai; Lin Mengde was also awarded the title of Confucian Linlang for military affairs with the military counselor, and officially obtained the status of an official.

These are just rewards for leading the army north into Yannan, and the military merits of Cangnan's great victory are required to send people to inspect and discuss again.

Regardless of whether the undercurrent surging in the backs of the DPRK and the Central Committee is the main battle or the main peace, especially at the beginning of Lin Lian's northward march of the Jiangdong Left Army into Yannan, it does not seem to affect the overall situation of the main battle or the main peace, and this spirit of courage and forging ahead must be stimulated, otherwise it will be impossible to say anything to the DPRK and the opposition.

Even the Chu Party also needs to take Lin Xu out to resist the attack of the government and the opposition on their secret support for peace.

After the three prefectures of Yannan were trampled into a mess by Kou Dongyu, although those in power still had the intention to negotiate peace, they could not stop the tendency of the government and the opposition to have public opinion fall in the main battle.

The military department's procedure for discussing merit is rather cumbersome, and the channel from Gyeonggi to Cangnan is blocked, and it is inconvenient for the military department to send officials to verify the results. In the private letter brought by Tang Hao's messenger, although he was very sure of Lin Lian's practice of leading the army northward, he also specially instructed Lin Jian to "not fight in waves, and don't make the victory of Cangnan fall short."

At least in late December, just after the great victory in Cangnan, the intention of those in charge of the DPRK and China was still to negotiate peace, and this is unmistakable.

If Lin Jian is a qualified politician, after the victory in Cangnan, he should retreat south to Linzi Mansion to assist in the defense, and wait for the end of the war to enjoy the military merits brought by the victory in Cangnan.

After Xiaobotou Village won another big victory of annihilating thousands of people, Lin Mengde, Cao Ziang and others all suggested that they postpone the victory, suggesting that they fight them, anyway, they are not subject to the control of the DPRK and China, but there is no need to conflict with the DPRK and the undercurrent, not to mention that the DPRK and the CCP are directly promoted by the Chu Party. Besides, the repeated victories not only contradicted the DPRK-China discussions and the undercurrent, but also made the other Lu Qin Wang Shi lose face, and it was good that they could continue to win, but once they lost, they might give these incompetent people a joint attack.

Although there is a great political risk, but in the same way, with the risk comes the same huge opportunity, Lin Tie hopes that all the Qinwang divisions can have less shame, regardless of whether it is war or peace in the end, at least in the continuous stage of the war can be a little more active.

Lin Jian not only sent the messenger to Beijing to report the victory, but also resolutely lured the Nahe Xiongqi troops to Jinhai to conduct a battle.

Lin Xuwen, Yang Zhishan, and Liu Zhi rushed to Jinhai together, and Lin Jian knew that the wind direction in the court had finally changed.

This battle continues to this day, and the situation is becoming more and more obvious. The intention of the Dongyu to break through the border and enter the border this time was to plunder, and its continuous combat capability in the hinterland of Yanji was also weakened by its continuous casualties and losses and the increasingly large number of goods and people plundered, and it would definitely withdraw from the border before the weather warmed up.

The three prefectures in Yannan have been disabled, most of the Shandong Plain Prefecture has fallen, and the captives are retreating, and the Chu Party is still openly standing up to advocate peace at this time, which is the biggest political immaturity.

**********

Yang Zhishan is the head of the Ministry of War, Zheng Liupin, and he came to inspect the military merits on behalf of the Ministry of War; The minister Liu Zhi is the bureau official of the province, and now the emperor has made Hao Zongcheng, the young eunuch of the inner chamberlain, the director of the world's diligent king, and Liu Zhi is afraid that he will serve as the supervisor of the army; Lin Jian just couldn't figure out what Lin Xuwen was doing when he came over to join in this fun.

Lin Jian took Lin Xuwen's arm and asked with a smile: "Coming from Gyeonggi, the eldest brother and Lord Yang and Lord Liu are afraid that they have suffered a lot, so let's go into the cabin and rest for a ......."

"Lord Hao sent troops to cover our passage through Tongzhou, and then disguised himself and took advantage of the night to accompany the messenger you sent to Jingshi to the north of Jinhai, and met your army's scouts in the north, and came over on a sentry ship, saying that it was a bit hard, but it was not worth mentioning compared to your battle with the captive cavalry in Yannan......," Lin Xuwen said with great interest.

Yang Zhishan stood on the deck, looked around at the military appearance of the Jiangdong Left Army, and asked with a slightly cold face: "Dare to ask Lord Lin, are all the Jiangdong Left Army here?" According to the good news, the five battalions of the Jiangdong Left Army have 3,000 soldiers, and the number of people on these ships seems to be slightly insufficient. ”

Falsely reporting military exploits is something that generals in the army will do.

When the victory of Cangnan was reported to the Beijing Division, the Jiangdong Left Army annihilated more than 1,000 elite enemies in the field battle with 3,000 new soldiers.

Lin Tie is the new leader of the Chu Party, Gu Wuchen made it lead an army alone, and the posture of entering Yannan in the north is like erecting a bright banner in the wasteland where all the horses are together, Zhang Xie and Tang Haoxin also used the Jiangdong Left Army as an excuse to refute the attacks of other factions on their secret promotion of peace, and it is inconvenient for the military department to publicly refute it, and it is also suppressed not to discuss the military merits of the great victory in Cangnan, so as not to cause a big joke after the war.

The Chu Party is also based on stability, they need the attitude of Lin Tie leading the army north to relieve the political pressure, and they are also afraid that Lin Tie will be too aggressive and become the handle of the attack in the future, and they are also afraid that discussing the military exploits of the Cangnan Great Victory and publicizing the major events will stimulate other generals, so they will not discuss the military merits of the Cangnan Great Victory in the military department.

It was already the ninth day of the first month of the first month when Lin Jian sent the messenger to Jingshi to report the victory, and at that time, most of the officials in the court and the emperor realized that the captive cavalry did not threaten the strength of the Jingshi. Even the officials who were timid and afraid of things did not have the fortunate intention of being able to defeat the Dongyu, especially when the situation gradually became clear, and the determination of the Dongyu to attack Jinan Mansion was firm, and it was not possible to retreat from the peace negotiations, so the Chu Party gave up its efforts to negotiate peace.

In this way, the Chu Party needed the banner of Lin Jian and the Jiangdong Left Army to completely reverse the image of advocating peace in the early stage, that is, Hao Shoucheng, who was actually the commander-in-chief of the Gyeonggi garrison and the Zhulu Qin Wang Division, also cautiously looked for fighters to put pressure on the main force of the northern front of Yeji Luorong in the east.

Against this background, Zhang Xie, Tang Haoxin and others, and even the emperor personally inquired about the military department, urging the military department to quickly send personnel to Jinhai to contact the Jiangdong Left Army and discuss the military merits of the two great victories, so as to boost the morale of the whole army.

Yang Zhishan always had great doubts about the combat ability of the Jiangdong Left Army, and at this time he only saw only a few hundred generals lined up on the shore, and although the left and right sea ships were huge, there were very few soldiers on the deck, and even 3,000 soldiers were far from them. Although the Chu Party was powerful in the court, Lin Zhishan's bold and reckless false report of military exploits also made Yang Zhishan very unhappy, and he couldn't help but question it on the spot.

"Lord Yang and Lord Liu are here at the right time, if you don't feel hard, please follow Lin Tie to the top of the cabin to watch the battle!" Lin Lian's expression was solemn, and he stretched out his hand to invite Lin Xuwen, Yang Zhishan, and Liu Zhi to watch the battle on the top deck of the aft cabin.
