On the ninth day of the first month of September, the east coast of Mingzhou Hukou Port, the sun is shining, the wind and waves are calm, the harbor is as calm as an inner lake, in the Hukou Military Port, the sail mast is like a wall, and at the wharf in the distance, a group of Huaidong generals are boarding the warships on the shore in an orderly manner.

The five-masted warships, even from a long distance, can be seen to be extremely magnificent, far beyond the reach of ordinary sea ships.

Since the military port and the civilian port are only separated by a breakwater, fishermen, maritime merchants, shipwrights, sailors, and good deeds and lively idlers on the merchant fishing boats can see the situation of Huaidong's generals boarding the ship in a sweeping way-the war in eastern Fujian, which has been rumored to be fought since the beginning of spring, has finally taken a substantial step forward at this moment.

The speed of taking the sea route is very fast, even if the luxury family has a secret post deployed in Mingzhou, those who climb the mountains and mountains want to transmit the news back to Jin'an Mansion, they will not be faster than the sea boat.

Therefore, the camp and the government offices did not blockade the civilian port near Hukou, but only used sentinel boats to row out of the forbidden sea area, and almost openly carried out the transfer of troops and horses.

There are also some good young people and idlers in Mingzhou City, who hire ships to go to sea to see the grand scene of Huaidong's soldiers and horses, thinking that they are talking about it - although there is no entertainment restriction in these years, the entertainment activities of the people are too lacking.

At this point, even the soldiers and idlers who are usually concerned about the war situation can also understand the situation, and between eastern Fujian and central Zhejiang, the Huaidong Military Division is determined to fight eastern Fujian first.

Otherwise, it will not be the soldiers and horses from Mingzhou who will board the ship and transfer them out, but the soldiers and horses from outside will land from Mingzhou and make up for Shengzhou or Huiji.

The people of Mingzhou who saw the soldiers and horses of Huaidong were excited and inevitably a little disappointed.

"Dongyang County, Zhuji, and Quzhou Prefectures one day earlier, Mingzhou and Huiji Prefectures can also return to normal one day earlier, otherwise they will be tense all day long, and I don't know when the extravagant soldiers and horses will come in, and it's not the same thing!" There was a brig moored at the edge of the breakwater, but several people at the bow were clearly out to sea to see the excitement.

Today's wind and waves are calm, the waves are light on the hull, there is a small table in the bow of the ship, these people sit around the small table, there are scholars in Confucian shirts, there are idlers who have nothing to do in the city, there are also seafarers who come from Haidong and do business, today they met in the teahouse, I heard that Huaidong sent troops today, so they made an appointment to the wharf and hired a fishing boat to go to sea to see the excitement.

This group of people watched the Huaidong warships between the blue sea and blue sky from a distance and chatted, and one of the soldiers in a green robe was dissatisfied with Huaidong's decision to attack Mindong first.

Obviously, as a local of Mingzhou, I hope to attack Dongyang County as soon as possible, so that the situation in eastern Zhejiang can be settled as soon as possible. Now Huaidong has built a defense line in Shengzhou, Huiji, Shanyin, and Xiaoshan to garrison heavy troops, and the luxury soldiers and horses are blocked in the valley of central Zhejiang west of Dongyang County. Mingzhou City is only one or two hundred miles away from the defense line - although the Huaidong soldiers and horses have been invincible all these years, but the enemy army in Zhejiang and Fujian is so close that it is like a sharp sword hanging above the head, even if you know that the rope that ties the sword is very strong, you will feel uneasy.

"You know a bird!" There was a middle-aged man dressed as a seafarer who had a different opinion, looking at him was not very old, about thirty years old, but his face was full of beard, he looked old-looking, and he spoke rudely, and said, "Mindong is the nest of the luxury family, and when you lay down Mindong, the luxury family even got rid of the nest, and then it will be much easier to hit Zhezhong - and if you go to Dongyang County, the terrain, even if there are many soldiers and horses, there is no way to fill it in at once." The attack of one fort and one village must be fought until the year of the monkey and the month of the horse to take down the Quzhou Mansion? If you hide an ambush in which col, you don't know how you will die! How convenient it is to land from eastern Fujian, the land route can be used from Cangnan to the south to divide the water pass, hit Xiapu, and land from the sea route, which can cut off the contact between the cities in eastern Fujian, Zhejiang and Fujian soldiers are scattered, and Huaidong soldiers are easy to gather, how to fight, how to fight, the initiative is always in the hands of Huaidong - only Xie Chaozhong, the big idiot, thinks about fighting from Huizhou to western Zhejiang...... When Lao Tzu was in Huizhou, a horse team of one or two hundred people walked the road of Daqingxi, which was very difficult, and now tens of thousands of troops came out of there, hum, hum......"

The middle-aged seafarer snorted coldly, and put on a look of watching the Huinan Army's good show.

"As far as you Du Mazi understands military affairs, the envoy is on the recruitment list, why don't you see you to expose the post?" Someone immediately stood up to refute the middle-aged seafarer and said, "Huaidong is really fighting in Mindong, and the imperial court is sending troops from Huizhou, which is a clever move." Conquer Wuyuan and Shangrao, cut off Jiangxi from the rebels in Zhejiang, and the rebels in Quzhou Mansion in central Zhejiang are surrounded in it, and they have to surrender in just one winter......

"Fight, fight, fight, defense, defense, defense," the middle-aged seafarer is hot-tempered, and he doesn't know how to ease when he speaks, and if his words are wrong, he can't help but sneer and sneer, "I don't know how to write dead words, I know a ...... of 'fighting'"

A white-haired old man sitting next to him, who came all the way with Haike, was also dressed as a Haidong person, he reached out and pressed the arm of the bearded young Haike, asking him to speak in a measured manner, some words are not something they can say nonsense.

As early as in Shangsheng, Huaidong and Jiangning planted the root of the contradiction, which has nothing to do with whether Huaidong supports King Lining as the emperor - not to mention that their identities are not ordinary people, if this kind of words reach the ears of Huaidong people, it is too unnecessary to arouse suspicion.

There was a lively discussion here, and more than a dozen warships over there loaded supplies and men first, and soon left the port surrounded by other warships.

There was no bustle to see, the fishing boats returned to the port, the others hired carts and horses to go back to the city, and the two seafarers walked to Hukou Town. The wharf is also close to Hukou Town, and a small colonel came to meet him, and when he saw two seafarers, he called out: "Du Gong, Xiao Du General......

The white-haired old man stopped, not understanding what the generals in the Huaidong Army were calling them for, and when they approached, they recognized the guards around the Gonglin of Pengcheng County.

"It turned out to be General Chen...... "The old man greeted with a smile.

"Du Gong makes fun of me, what kind of general am I?" Chen Hua smiled and said, "My lord learned that Du Gong was in Hukou, and I learned that I was asked to come to find Du Gong and General Du, and the inn said that Du Gong went to sea, and he just wanted to go to the dock and wait for someone, but he didn't expect to meet someone, what a coincide......nce."

These two seafarers are not bystanders, they are Du Rong and Du Cheli who captured Huaidong many years ago. Du Rong was bound by Lin, and later helped to persuade Du Che to leave Huaidong and was free, but he did not stay in Huaidong to serve, but there was no way to return to his hometown in Mindong, and he was more worried that the secret sentinel in Mindong would affect the clansmen in Mindong, so he crossed the sea to Haidong and became a seafarer between Jeju, Jiangzhou, and Kyushu Island.

After August, Jeju and Mingzhou resumed navigation, Du Rong thought about coming back to see, but he didn't expect to encounter Huaidong to send troops to fight Mindong - although Huaidong did not restrict Du Rong and Du Cheli's actions, but their identities were very special after all, and they went ashore from Mingzhou to report their whereabouts to the Military Intelligence Department.

Du Rong and Du Cheli live in an inn in Hukou Town, and it is not strange for Lin Tie to know, but Du Rong feels that there is nothing about his and Che Li's behavior that can arouse the suspicion of others, what is Lin Tie sending people all over the world to do with them at this time?

"What are the county princes of Pengcheng looking for us two to do for the forgotten characters?" Du Rong asked.

Du Rong is not very old, but after capturing Huaidong, he turned white almost overnight, and he never recovered after that. After Du Che left and surrendered, he was still a military general, and he stumbled with others at every turn.

"Your Excellency told me to come to you, but you didn't say why?" Chen Huamian said.

didn't do anything wrong, and they weren't afraid of ghosts knocking on the door, Du Rong and Du Cheli went to the Hukou military camp with Chen Huamian to see Lin Tie.

Hukou is built here is a permanent barracks, the official name is Fanghai City, both land and water, the building is also neat and complete, in addition to the barracks, there are all kinds of water step halls.

After Lin Jian arrived in eastern Zhejiang, he did not enter Mingzhou City, but met with local officials in Hukou Village.

After the garrison was opened, the camp city seemed a little deserted, and when they went to the public hall where Lin Jian lived, Du Rong and Du Cheli also took the initiative to let the guards check whether there was any entrainment, and then walked in with Chen Hua's face......

The last time I saw Lin Jian in Chongzhou, it was still the eleventh year of Chongguan, and it was already the autumn of the third year of Yongxing. Thinking about it again, when Chongguan met in Weiyang in the eighth year, Lin Jian was still an inconspicuous scholar who was fascinated by Su Mei's beauty, who would have thought that he could have the scenery he has today?

Walking in with Chen Hua's face, Du Rong remembered all these years, and he was really emotional......

"Du Gong is really in the mouth!" Song Jia stood on the eaves of the corridor, smiled brightly, and said to Du Rong, "I saw that the Military Intelligence Department said that Du Gong was in the mouth, and I thought I had made a mistake......

"Hello young lady," Du Rong saluted, no matter whether Song Jiagao was unhappy or not, he still called each other by his old name, "I have been tired of staying in Haidong all these years, and I think that things will change, and I won't miss them when I come back...... "It's hard to have a free body, but he is still worried that Huaidong will misunderstand that they have ulterior motives."

"My lord is waiting for Duke Du and General Du inside!" Push open the door and invite Du Rong and the others in.

The light in the room was dim, and I could see a tall man sitting opposite Lin Tie, with long hair tied up casually, draped over his shoulders, and when the man looked back, Du Rong was shocked, and called out in a lost voice: "Song Gong......"

Sitting opposite Lin Lian was not someone else, it was Song Fu, the master of the Song clan and Yongtaibo.

"It's been a long time since Yongtai said goodbye, Brother Du don't come to Wuxian!" Song Fu stood up, walked to the door to greet him, and sighed, "The strategy of abandoning the land and going to the sea has not been made through after all!" ”

"If there is no Huaidong, it may not be possible." Du Rong still didn't think there was anything wrong with the policy of abandoning the land and going to the sea in Zhejiang and Fujian back then, and he didn't care about the old people seeing each other, so he refuted Song Fu while standing in the courtyard.

Song Fu smiled slightly, and did not argue with Du Rong - when the Zhejiang-Fujian army fought against Li Zhuo back then, when the fatigue did not appear, Du Rong was one of the first few people who advocated abandoning the land and going to the sea, and he himself changed his identity and sneaked to the Weiyang layout early, which is almost something that Du Rong is proud of.

Even if it meets Huaidong, this policy has completely failed, and Du Rongnai refuses to admit that there is anything wrong with this policy in Zhejiang and Fujian - the so-called "planning things in people, and things in heaven".
