The embankment has been converted into a makeshift crossing, and a section of the pontoon bridge blocking the river can be opened and closed to facilitate the passage of boats.

Lin Jian and Yang Pu rushed to the shore, and the fleet had just passed the pontoon checkpoint, and the Dongyang had already entered the pontoon checkpoint and berthed.

The condolence officials sent by the Zhu Division took Qin Chengbo's widow and family members off the boat, and prepared three official ships to send them back to Jiangning first. The Qin family's going and staying will have to wait for Zhongli Qin to send someone to deal with it, and the general of the auxiliary country will die in Hongzepu, and most of Yanjing will also have a special edict to comfort them, and they will also have special comfort for the children of the Qin family.

Most of the women in the Qin family have been frightened for so long, and they have been suppressed in the dark cabin for so long, and when they came ashore and saw the imperial army stationed here, they suddenly had the backbone of the heart, and the panic and sorrow in their hearts were vented to their heart, and there was a cry in the open space in front of the persimmon forest on the shore.

Qin Chengbo is also a person who knows how to enjoy, with a group of wives and concubines, beautiful maids and maids, except for a few people who are old and decrepit or the daughters of the Qin family, the other female dependents are all beautiful.

When Qin Chengbo was the general of the Jiangning garrison, he was very exploited below, although the generals of the battalion here were still under his command for more than ten days, but there was no incense between them, and Qin Chengbo was robbed and killed in Hongzepu, and many generals even felt very happy.

At this time, there were many soldiers gathered on the shore to point at the beautiful Qin family's widow with a hippie smile, and even more whistled, and the officials in charge of coming forward to comfort couldn't look at it, so that people drove away the frolicking onlookers.

The Lin family and the Gu family, who fled to Jiangning, also came to the shore to take a breath at this time.

Gu Yingsleeve didn't panic in her heart beside Lin Lian, and her complexion was good, under the light of the campfire, she was even more radiant and gorgeous than those frightened warblers and warblers, which naturally attracted the attention of these generals.

Gu Yingsleeve saw Lin Lian and Yang Pu coming over, and it was not easy to take the initiative to walk towards them in front of the public, and looked at Yingying.

"Miss," Yang Pu still called her by Gu Ying's old name when she was in the Gu family, "It's inconvenient for my lord to come out, let me greet you, after you arrive in Jiangning, let you live in the mansion first, and someone has been sent back to Jiangning to report to you to arrange a courtyard......"

Gu Yingsleeve glanced at Lin Lian and said to Yang Pu: "Annoying Uncle Yang to tell my second uncle, Yingsleeve is very grateful for the second uncle's concern, but Yingsleeve is a member of the Lin family in life and a ghost of the Lin family in death, and the master is still using decoction, how can Yingsleeve live in Gu's mansion alone?" ”

Yang Pu felt strange in his heart, this is a good opportunity for the eldest lady to break away from the Lin family, the eldest lady is still young and beautiful, after Lin Tingxun dies, the adult can make the decision to find a husband to marry for her, and she will have a dependency in the future, so that she will not be lonely and old. But the eldest lady insisted on refusing to leave the Lin family, and Yang Pu couldn't say anything at this time, thinking that she would let the adults persuade her in person in the future.

"Lin Xiucai, when will the situation in Shanglin stabilize? Should we go to Jiangning to buy a piece of land first, or go into the city and rent a few yards to live in first? The sixth lady struggled to hold the eleven-year-old little son Lin Xuxi in her arms, and came over to ask Lin Lian, the second son Lin Xuzong is dead, and the eldest prince will not come back in Yanjing, in her opinion, no one will compete with her son for the position of the head of the family, but Lin Zonghai, whom she relied on before, is not around, and she has to discuss with Lin Lian. After all, she can't show up for anything. She also recognized that she had to rely on Lin Jian temporarily in Jiangning.

"It is impossible for Xiang Yong to be allowed to enter the city, and besides, there are thousands of villagers in Shanglin who took refuge in Jiangning with the Lin family, so we can't ignore it," Lin Jian said, "Outside Jiangning City, there is a temporary place to live, and the conditions will be more difficult, so we will temporarily wronged the sixth lady." ”

At this time, there were many things that were inconvenient to say, so Lin Jian found Cao Ziang, Zhao Hu, Zhou Pu, Lin Mengde and others, and asked Zhou Pu to stay in the barracks with him. More than 400 villagers in Shanglinli, more than 200 people from Lin Jiyuan and Chen Shouyan's neat organization also stayed temporarily, and nearly 100 people from Zhao Qingshan's department were reorganized and more than 100 villagers were brought to the estuary by Cao Ziang, Zhao Hu, Lin Mengde and others to settle down temporarily.

After instructing, Lin Jian and Yang Pu and others went to comfort the Gu family.

At this time, it was believed that Shiliangcheng County was captured by Liu An'er's troops, and the displaced people on both sides of the Shiliang River also followed the riots. Although Lin Jian sent someone to send a message in time, most of the Gu family thought that Lin Jian was alarmist, and only thirty or fifty people dragged their families to escape.

The enemy situation in the north of Shiliang County is unknown, and it is impossible for this side to send an army to pick up people for the sake of the Gu family.

After staying in the open space on the west bank south of the pontoon bridge until midnight, Wang Tian, the Xuanfu envoy, Jia Pengyu, and other officials came forward to comfort the Qin family, and it was not until dawn that everyone set off by boat from the northern border of Gutang County to continue to Jiangning. Zhou Pu and ten military guards accompanied Lin Jian to stay in the barracks and wait for the giants to be summoned at any time.

Jia Pengyu, Gu Wuchen and the officials of the Inspectorate also stationed more than 1,000 horsemen under the jurisdiction of the Inspectorate with 600 people. Lin Jian took more than 200 people from Lin Jiyuan and Chen Shouyan to the camp here.

Although the combat effectiveness of the town army was low, the camp of the Jiangning garrison army was quite large, and the camp of the inspection department was much simpler and more chaotic. When Lin Tie came over with people, Ma Chao was losing his temper there to teach people, and when he saw Yang Pu accompanying Lin Tie and them, he smiled helplessly: "These turtle sons, if they go to Yanbei to fight, they can only make the knives of the Donghu people dull a little......

"Jiangning has been peaceful for a long time, and there are many places to entrust the matter of anti-theft and banditry, so I can't be demanding." Lin Jian said.

He saw that there was a small independent camp to the west of the camp, and asked strangely, "Who is it over there?" ”

"There is a battalion of soldiers led by Liu Xilin to the Dongcheng Captain, you may not be able to see Captain Liu at this time," Yang Pu said, "Li Zhuo strictly forbids the garrison to interfere in local affairs, Gutang County's sword archers, catchers, and government servants are limited, and the internal security affairs can only be transferred from Jiangning to a battalion of horse infantry." Liu Xilin had just taken over Dongcheng Lieutenant for only three or five days, and the situation was even more chaotic. Zhang Yubo also came over, but he should be sitting in Chaotianyi with Gutang Zhixian at this time. Who knew that the number of displaced people in the Chaotianyi area was likely to exceed 200,000 people......"

Lin Jian didn't say much.

Although Li Zhuo restrained his hands and feet, he still tried his best to stabilize the situation in the north of Chaotiandang.

There are more than 200,000 displaced people in the Chaotianyi area, and there are probably as many as 300,000 displaced people in the entire Gutang County.

The correct handling is to station heavy troops on guard at checkpoints and passes, forcibly cut off contact with the outside world, and then strengthen internal security, increase measures to comfort the displaced people, and alleviate the contradictions between the main customers, so as to temporarily stabilize the situation.

Li Zhuo's principle of strictly prohibiting the town army from meddling in local affairs is also correct; on the one hand, it can ensure the simplicity of the town army, and on the other hand, it will not cause the town army to disperse its forces for local affairs and stability maintenance. However, the roots of the Jiangning garrison have rotted, and it is not that Li Zhuo lacks ability or prestige, and it is not a day's work for anyone to change the status quo.

To calm down the situation in Hongzepu, it is also simple to say, let Li Zhuo have overall control over the overall situation, stabilize the situation around Hongzepu first, and restrict the infiltration of Liu An'er's forces and influence into the hinterland of Haozhou, Dongyang, and Huai'an.

If only things could be so simple, Gu Wuchen didn't come back from the big tent until dawn, and Lin Jian didn't talk much about the general strategy of counterinsurgency.

The Chu Party wants to drive Chen Xinbo out of the center, and wants to do everything possible to limit Li Zhuo's influence, where will it be easy to give Li Zhuo the great achievement of Hong Zepu to quell the rebellion?

During the water battle of Luoyang Lake, Cao Ziang and Ge Cunxin led four disguised fishing boats to sneak in, and fished in troubled waters to obtain the spoils that should have belonged to Hongzepu Water Village, with a total of more than 80 pairs of excellent armor, eight private raising gold balls weighing 1,000 taels, and 41 private raising silver balls weighing 1,000 taels.

In addition to the armor, the gold and silver were converted into nearly 100,000 taels of official silver, and this huge wealth was only worth more than 3,000 catties. If the volume is calculated, it is equivalent to 400 catties of water.

How much space can 400 catties of water occupy? A slightly larger water tank could not be filled, and the gold and silver were secretly hidden on the Dongyang, which was really unaware.

I am afraid that the income of Hongzepu Water Village is more than ten times that of fishing in troubled waters in the forest, and Hongzepu Water Village has successively conquered Sizhou City, Shiliang City, and Shanglinli, and the income is even richer.

There are many wealthy households in Shanglinli, and gold and silver wealth is still secondary, and Shanglinli is one of the most important grain markets in the north of Jiangning. Many large landowners in Dongyang Province, in addition to keeping enough rice and grain for their own needs for a year during the harvest season every year, will transport the surplus grain to the forest to be sold at a price. Although the summer harvest season is approaching, many grain merchants in Shanglin are preparing to clear their warehouses to buy wheat, but the grain stock in the market is usually not less than 100,000 stone.

At this time, the harvest of 100,000 mu of fertile land wheat along the coast of Hongzepu, especially in Shiliang County and Sizhou, was imminent, and the officials and landlords of Dongyang Prefecture and Haozhou Prefecture lost thirty or forty stone of tax grain and rented grain, and the problem was not very serious, but this batch of tax grain and rented grain was requisitioned by Liu An'er's department, and the problem was much more serious.

Sizhou is located in the middle of the Hongzepu situation, but it is famous for producing ironware. Shiliang County looks like a chicken rib, but it helps Liu An'er's department to control the situation south of Hongzepu. If they are given time, there are countless displaced people around them who can be recruited, and who knows how far their power will expand.

Seeing that Li Zhuo urged the Jiangning garrison to set up camp in Gutang County, it can be seen that he has no hope for the counterinsurgency under his own jurisdiction, and only wants to stabilize the situation in Jiangning Prefecture, which shows that he has a sober understanding of the situation of the party struggle between the DPRK and China. He probably also realized that it was impossible for the imperial court to transfer his old troops to Jiangdong to quell the rebellion.

Lin Jian withdrew from Shanglindu, and saw that the situation in the north of Gutang County was erosive, and the giants were still discussing here with peace of mind, so he knew that it was impossible to quickly resolve Hongzepu, and scolded with hatred in his heart: This damn party dispute.
