(Just as affectionately summoning a red ticket!) ）

When Yu Donggao withdrew to Yizhou, his injuries could not be delayed, so he hurriedly set off from Yizhou to the north, and finally did not survive to Mingzhou Mansion, died on the ship, and went ashore to Mingzhou Mansion to help the coffin, including Yu Chenggao's third son Yu Wencheng and nephew Yu Wenbei, as well as Tang Fuguan, the cavalry captain of the Jian'an Army, Yang Zichen, the curtain of Yu Wangao, and some of the generals of the Jian'an Army.

Yu Wangao is a native of Xinzhou, Jiangxi County, when the luxury family captured Xinzhou, Yu Wangao's eldest son died in the war, and the relatives who stayed in the ancestral house either fled or were captured. Yu Wangao did not surrender, and the captured relatives were also killed by the luxury family one after another, at this time, Xinzhou was still firmly controlled by the luxury family, and the children of the Yu family could not send Yu Wangao back to their homeland for burial.

Lin Tie, Fu Qinghe, Hu Zhiyong, Liang Wenzhan, Ye Junan and others rushed to worship after returning to Mingzhou, Gao Zongting and Chen Dingbang stayed to help deal with Yu Wangao's funeral.

"My father did not succumb to the luxury family until he died, and before he died, he only hoped to bury a land that would not be occupied by the luxury family, and he did not want the corpse to be taken by the luxury family after death," Gao Zongting sat in front of the mourning hall, Yu Wencheng cried and elaborated on Yu Wangao's last wish before he died, "My father is loyal to the imperial court, and he will not exceed it until he dies, even if he dies, he has no regrets." However, the remaining 3,000 generals of the Jian'an Army abandoned their families and forgot to die for the imperial court, leaving only their remnants, which was very pitiful, and their father hated not being able to give them peace and contentment, glory and wealth before he died. In addition to the Governor, my father trusted Mr. Gao the most, and before he died, he asked us to implore Mr. Gao to arrange the ...... on his behalf."

"You guys also stay in Huaidong, right?" Gao Zongting asked Yu Wencheng.

"I didn't dare to disobey my father's will, so I went to worship with my father's testament with Wenbeihui; Or if we have Jiangning Enhuai, we will come to Mingzhou to stay in front of my father's tomb and keep ......filial piety," Yu Wencheng said.

Hearing Yu Wencheng say this, Gao Zongting felt a lot of emotion in his heart, and thought: Maybe Yu Wangao had seen the situation in the world thoroughly before he died, and he also expected that Huaidong would probably have disobedience in the future. Yu Wangao was unwilling to give up his loyalty to the Yuan clan and would not accept Huaidong's solicitation, but he was unwilling to hand over the three thousand troops who had followed him for many years to Jiang Ning, and finally died in the place where they were buried, so he left a will and asked him to arrange it on his behalf. Perhaps dying on the way is the most in line with Wan Gao's wishes, so that he will not have to face Huaidong's solicitation, nor will he have to worry that Jiang Ning will ask him to hand over the remaining subordinates.

Yu Wencheng and Yu Wenbei want to go to Jiangning to send the posthumous watch, and they will also accept Jiangning's reward on behalf of Yu Wangao, although they also want to stay in Huaidong, but they don't want to because they join Huaidong, Huaidong will have no subordinates in the future and tarnish their father's and brother's loyalty to the Yuan family.

Famous festivals? Gao Zongting smiled desolate in his heart: Zang Mingxin died early, Lu Jingyan died miserably, Dong Yuan was ambitious, Chen Zhihu had demons in his heart, only Yu Wangao followed the same path as the commander, and respected them in his heart, but also felt sad and resentful for what happened to them.

Yu Wencheng and Yu Wenbei are both generals brought out by Yu Wangao, they are so young and hidden, Gao Zongting feels sorry for them, but everyone has their own ambitions, and they are not in a hurry to persuade them at this time, so they turned to look at Tang Fuguan and Yang Zichen.

Tang Fuguan bowed and said: "Please Mr. Gao tell the envoy of Lin Zhizhi that if Huaidong intends to recover southern Zhejiang from Yongjia, Zichen and I are willing to be the forerunners...... Or let Yu Du move to the land as soon as possible! It's also my wish and Zichen's wish. ”

Gao Zongting nodded, and asked Chen Dingbang to stay and help Yu Wencheng and others deal with Yu Wangao's posthumous affairs, and he went to see Lin Liang.

************

In the hall arranged by the Mingzhou Mansion for Lin Bin, Fu Qinghe, Liang Wenzhan, Hu Zhiyong, Ye Junan and others all went back to rest first, and Lin Jian was immersed in studying the situation on the map. Song Jia sat next to him to sort out the papers, and Gao Zongting came in and went back to the room to rest first.

"What are the plans of the Yu family's nephew?" Lin Jian and Gao Zongting sat opposite each other, touching the copper kettle and still hot, and helped Gao Zongting make a cup of tea, although he regretted Yu Wangao's death, but after all, there was no intersection, and the sentimentality was naturally not as deep as Gao Zongting and others, but what he was most concerned about now was not how to settle the remnants of the Jian'an Army he brought after Yu Wangao left?

Although there are only more than 3,000 remnants of the Jian'an Army that have been evacuated to Yizhou for rest, and their morale and combat strength have been reduced to weak points, the veterans who have been eliminated after ten years of bloody and brutal war in Eastern Fujian, as well as a large number of military attaches carefully cultivated by Li Zhuo and Yu Wangao for more than ten years, are all rare and precious treasures.

Wasn't the backbone of the original establishment of the framework of the Huaidong Army the dozens of remnants of the Jingbei Hou Department forced to become Liumakou?

An excellent military attache can quickly bring out a team of elite armor soldiers.

Don't look at the 3,000 remnants of the Yu Department who have withdrawn, but use this as a framework to draw strong and brave soldiers from the workers' battalion to make up for it, and as long as they can give them sufficient rest and training, they can quickly build an elite force that is comparable in scale and combat power to the Jian'an Army back then.

Of course, if Yu Wangao's sons, nephews and generals must take all the 3,000 remnants to Jiangning for reorganization, Huaidong must maintain a harmonious relationship with Jiangning at the moment.

Gao Zongting is now regarded as the number one adviser under Lin Lian, and of course he knows Lin Liang's thoughts very well, and he relayed Yu Wangao's last wish to Lin Lian in the slightest.

"That's right," Lin Jian listened to Gao Zongting's report, let go of his hanging thoughts, and asked again, "Zongting, how do you think it's good to settle them?" ”

"Tang Fuguan and others stay in Huaidong, and Wen Cheng and Wen Bei will not be trusted when they go to Jiangning. They want to come to Mingzhou to guard filial piety, and Jiang Ning is unlikely to obstruct it," Gao Zongting said, "I will arrange it for the time being, and after a while, I will persuade them to serve Huaidong......"

"It's fine." Lin Jian said that Jiang Ning was also cautiously speculating about Huaidong's attitude at this time, and he would not cause any disputes over trivial matters. Jiangning is like this to Huaidong, and Huaidong is also to Jiangning.

Gao Zongting said again: "...... With 3,000 remnants, or some people who were tired of the war, the court implored the lord to promise them to either naturalize as a citizen in Huaidong, or return to their hometown to find their relatives. Those who are willing to serve Huaidong, ordinary soldiers, can be directly incorporated into the Chongcheng infantry battalion for war after resting; The general was first assigned to the combat training school, and thought that he could make Tang Fuguan as the leader, with Chen Dingbang and Hu Qiaoguan as the deputies, to set up a brigade of elite soldiers, and then draw troops to make up for it, and then they could be transferred to Yueqing and choose the opportunity to open up the battlefield......"

Gao Zongting also suggested: "Zichen has a strategy, he is valued by Governor Yu, he is also willing to serve Huaidong, and he is recommended to use him in eastern Zhejiang, specializing in liaison with Yueqing, first let him be familiar with the people and things in Yueqing, and transfer Liu Wenzhong to Huaidong to take important positions in the future, and Yang Zichen can take charge of ......government affairs in Yueqing instead."

"Okay," Lin Jian said, "What Zongting said is very much in line with my wishes, so according to the arrangement you said, Tang Fuguan and Yang Zichen will first join the army as a commander and act in Huaidong as a book, and then appoint another person if they have a suitable position......"

The Huaidong Army had its own principles, although it was bent on recruiting more generals for Huaidong's use. But for them to integrate into Huaidong, but also for them to agree with Huaidong's principles, which is a foundation and threshold for each other.

**************

For Yu Wangao to set up a spirit in Mingzhou for seven days, Lin Jian took a break from his busy schedule every day to worship, in addition to recruiting people from the Yu Department, it was also a respect for Yu Wangao.

It was not until the seventh day that Yu Wencheng, Yu Wenbei, Tang Fuguan, Yang Zichen and others were officially summoned to talk about the arrangements for the remnants of the Yu army.

Yu Wencheng and Yu Wenbei wanted to take Yu Wangao's testament to Jiangning to meet the new emperor; Tang Fuguan and other Jian'an army generals who accompanied him to Mingzhou this time, Lin Lian were respectively entrusted with the command of the army and the generals of the military commander to stay by his side, and the remnants of the rest in Yizhou were arranged by Chen Dingbang to assist Yang Zichen in the past, and then the military attache was transferred to Chongzhou to prepare for the formation of a new army.

The Yellow River is about to be completely frozen, and it is not clear how large the scale of Yanhu's offensive in the winter is, and Fu Qinghe and others do not approve of the hasty opening of a battlefield in southern Zhejiang.

In case Yanhu completely penetrates the Hehuai defense line in this winter, and a large number of troops and horses are pressed to Huaisi, Huaidong's troops and resources will inevitably be tilted towards the northern front, and the southern front will be tight in terms of troops and resources, and the hasty opening up of the southern Zhejiang battlefield will instead make Huaidong fall into an embarrassing situation of fighting on two fronts.

Even if Yanhu does not move, it is a good opportunity to open up the battlefield in southern Zhejiang by waiting until the Yellow River thaws after the spring of next year to limit the large-scale penetration of Yanhu cavalry to the south. Before that, Zhedong had to make preparations for soldiers and materials.

After inspecting eastern Zhejiang, Lin Jian went north to Huaisi in early November to inspect the construction of the defense line in Huaiyang Town.

************

As soon as he crossed the Huai River, he encountered the first snow in winter, and Lin was bound to the armor and draped in a big coat, looking at the heaven and earth shrouded in heavy snow in the north. For farming, heavy snow in winter is a good thing to control pests and provide moisture to wheat fields. However, with the heavy snow sealing the territory, the weather became more and more cold, and the Yellow River and the coastal water system were frozen one after another, which would provide a smooth passage for the Yanhu cavalry to move south.

Lin Tie stopped in Siyang for a day, and under the escort of hundreds of cavalry, he crossed the Bianshui River with wind and snow and went straight to Huaiyang.

Liu Miaozhen, Ma Lantou, Li Liang and other Huaiyang generals rushed to the west bank of Bianshui to greet them, and saw the cavalry from the east coming, and it was currently a cavalry general wearing a blue armor and a crimson coat.

At this time, it was still far away, and he couldn't see the face clearly, Sun Zhuang pointed to the current cavalry general wearing blue armor and crimson color, and said to Liu Miaozhen, Ma Lantou, Li Liang and others: "That seems to be my family...... There were not many people in the Huaidong Army who wore red hats. ”

Liu Miaozhen had her pride, sitting on the horse and not moving, her eyes staring at the little red that came out of the heavy snow; Ma Lantou and Li Liang responded in surprise: "Oh! "Busy getting off the horse, I'm afraid of losing my manners. At this time, the scout horse in front came back to report that the current person was Lin Tie.

Liu Miaozhen got off the horse and led the horse to meet everyone on foot.
