(The first update, ask for a red ticket)

The situation in eastern Zhejiang has collapsed, and the luxury family may raise the flag of rebellion again, and under the blade, Pingjiang Mansion will bear the brunt. As far as the Chen family is concerned, it is extremely eager for the Jiangdong Left Army to establish a solid defense line against the East China Sea Invaders and the Luxury Families on the Shengsi Islands, so that the flanks and flanks of Haiyu County can be protected from the threat of the enemy.

As far as the Donghai Kou or the Lujia are concerned, the Shengsi Islands have such a strong enemy as the Jiangdong Left Army stationed, and it is unlikely that they will rashly attack Haiyu if they do not solve the threat of the flanks.

In such a critical situation, Lin Jian wanted to draw the main force from Daheng Island to the north to find the main force of the northern line of the East China Sea to fight, and take over the elite ambush soldiers of Changshan Island.

In addition, Chen Huawen also temporarily lent the six strongest fast brigs and galleys under the Haiyu Township Battalion to Lin Tie to strengthen the attack power of the Jiangdong Left Army Boat Division at sea.

The terrain at the northern foot of Jinji Mountain is complicated, and it takes a lot of time for two or three thousand people to change their defenses, so Lin Tie left more than 800 wounded soldiers of the Jiangdong Left Army on Daheng Island, and assembled more than 4,200 people from the first and second battalions of the Jinghai Sea Battalion, the third, fourth, and fifth posts of the Chongcheng Infantry Battalion, and the Chongzhou County soldiers.

Bringing the Chongzhou County soldiers with him is to hope to replace the elite of the secret camp of Changshan Island and the Fengli Bu Battalion - before the trapped guards of Hecheng surrendered, Lin Jian did not dare to evacuate the defenders of Changshan Island, but to deal with the current chaos, the elite combat power of the Jiangdong Left Army must be concentrated and used to be more efficient.

It is already late autumn and shallow winter, and the northwest monsoon is prevailing on the sea, and the southeast wind is very rare, which is not conducive to the north. However, more than 200 miles eastward from Daheng Island is the edge of the Heishui Ocean (Yellow Sea Warm Current, formerly known as the Heishui Ocean), which runs north all year round, and follows the current of the Heishui Ocean to the north side of Changshan Island, and then turns to the southwest by the wind, and can also reach Changshan Island between day and night.

Lin Jian didn't know that Hao Feihu had already left Changshan Island and sailed across the sea, and was halfway to Daheng Island.

Due to the blockade of Changshan Island along the island by the warships of the main force of the northern line of the East China Sea, although Qin Chengji and Ning Zechen fought on the island and fled with their heads in their hands, destroying more than 1,000 elite enemies, they could not get the news out in time.

In the middle of the month, Lin Jian boarded the ship and wanted to lead the fleet to the edge of Daheng Island to go eastward to the Heishui Ocean. Under the moonlight, the sight distance of the lookout post on the north shore was limited, and Lin Jian soon saw that when a few mast shadows appeared in the sea and sky, it was only three or four miles away.

Three brigs crossed the sea, not sentinel ships in the direction of Chongzhou, and signaled with lights from afar, asking to approach—three warships were sent here, two were on guard nearby, and one was to pick up the seekers.

When he got closer, Lin Jian saw that the person standing on the bow of the boat under the moon was Yuan Jinsheng, the son of Yongchang Hou Yuan Guizheng, and there was also a middle-aged man wearing a scarlet official robe standing beside Yuan Jinsheng - Lin Jian frowned slightly, and said secretly: Who is this person? Standing behind Yuan Jinsheng and the middle-aged man, he was a burly young soldier.

Chen Huawen came over to see them off Lin Tie, and was about to get off the boat, when he saw the middle-aged man's face, he was slightly surprised: "The one surnamed Miao is also here......

Lin Jian didn't have time to ask carefully, and when he saw Yuan Jinsheng and the middle-aged man surnamed Miao and the young soldier coming to the boat by a rope ladder, he asked, "Why did the young marquis come across the sea at this time?" ”

"This is the steward of Yudong Wanshou Palace, and he often treats Miao Shuomiao," Yuan Jinsheng first introduced the middle-aged man around him after saluting, and did not mention the young soldier who was the same age as him behind him, and said, "Jinsheng has been a guest at Lord Yudong Miao these days, and the day before yesterday I saw Lord Lin leading a fleet to cross the sea on the south bank, so I guessed that Lord Lin was coming for Daheng Island. Jin Sheng, who had lost his sense of proportion, hurriedly led Master Miao to see Lord Lin...... I didn't expect Master Chen to be here. ”

Chen Huawen is famous in Haiyu, but he is only a county official, in the bureaucratic system of the Dayue Dynasty, he is only a low-level civil official, but he didn't expect Yuan Jinsheng to know him too, Lin Lian thought that the second son of Yongchang Hou Yuan's return to power is really a wide range of exchanges, and he actually has the leisure to stay in Yudong Palace, which is directly threatened by the blade of the Kou soldiers, as a guest in the past few days.

Lin Jian smiled at Yuan Jinsheng, and gave Miao Shuo a salute, "It turned out to be Master Miao'......"

To the north of the Shengsi sea area, in addition to Haiyu County, Chongzhou County, Hecheng Grass Crane, there is also a place that is Yudong Gongzhuang.

Yudong Gongzhuang was originally Yudong grassland. During the reign of Emperor Delong, the eastern grassland was withdrawn, and 4,000 hectares of grassland (400,000 mu) were allocated to the Empress Dowager Liang as a farmland. The palace village is a kind of imperial village, which is directly operated by the eunuchs in charge of the village by the inner court, and the officials, Ding Yong and the palace village are not subject to local control - Miao Shuo, the permanent servant of the inner service in the province, is the eunuch of the village, and is the cronies of the Empress Dowager Liang who sent to run the palace.

In addition to those eunuchs in the Lu Palace, and the eunuchs with rank in the inner court, Lin Jian has contacted four people so far.

Hao Zong became the head of the eunuchs in the province, for the emperor Chongguan, on behalf of the emperor to supervise the army, has always been in charge of Jibei Town, although the official position is three grades, the power is not lower than the prime minister.

Liu Zhi, the provincial bureau of the inner servant, from Qipin, once went to the Jiangdong Left Army to serve as an envoy to the army, and carried out the post of supervising the army, and was actually a close confidant of Hao Zongcheng. Lin Jian dealt with him the most, and he also knew many things from his mouth that the inner court was not humane.

Zhang Yan, Weiyang Salt Iron Envoy, Zheng Sipin, is in charge of Yanli, and his power is at least greater than that of the household servant.

The last is the Miao Shuo in front of him - the eunuch in charge of Zhuang has no rank, but he is often treated as a five-grade minister, and the Empress Dowager Liang is in charge of Yudong Palace, which only accepts two silver dollars and grain every year, which is inevitably a bit overkill, and it seems that the bottom of Yudong Palace Village is really very deep.

Hao Zongcheng is the emperor's confidant, and this Miao Shuo is the henchman next to the queen mother. In addition to Miao Shuo, the core of the Queen Mother's inner abdomen in the Inner Court is Liu Chenghua, the young eunuch of the Inner Servant Province, and he is also Hao Zongcheng's biggest opponent in the Inner Servant Province. The sharp contradiction between Hao Zongcheng and Liu Chenghua shows that the relationship between Emperor Chongguan and Empress Dowager Liang in the inner court is not calm on the surface.

Lin Jian originally thought that these things would not be able to deal with him for the time being, but he didn't expect that under the blade of the luxury family, the snakes, ghosts, cows, and gods all ran out. Yuan Jinsheng didn't even bother to cover up the relationship between the Marquis of Yongchang and Yudong Gongzhuang in a hurry, but he was worried that the Jiangdong Left Army would not be able to withstand the pressure and took the initiative to withdraw from the Shengsi Islands, so that Yudong Gongzhuang would be directly threatened by the main force of the East China Sea Kou or the troops of the luxury family.

To talk about intimacy, Yuan Guizheng married the daughter of the Liang family and the sister of the Empress Dowager Liang, and Yuan Jinsheng was the nephew of the Empress Dowager Liang. However, the nature of Yudong Palace Village is equivalent to the private farm of the Empress Dowager Liang, which is taken care of by some stewards and eunuchs and officials, and according to the law, the Liang family of the Empress Dowager's mother cannot interfere, and Yuan Jinsheng has a good relationship with the palace steward and eunuch, which is also against the law.

It's good to be like this, Yudong Gongzhuang can't always be unplugged.

Lin Jian said: "Master Miao and Brother Yuan are so coincidental, if it is a little later, you will be allowed to run away, but there is always a chance to meet in Chongzhou......"

When Miao Shuo came over, he saw the huge fleet of ships sailing out of the north beach of Daheng Island one after another, and he suspected that Lin Tie was going to lead the main force of the Jiangdong Left Army Boat Division to withdraw from the Shengsi Islands and return north...... The Shengsi Islands, although scattered in the vast ocean, but can not be abandoned, want to come to the knowledge of Lord Lin, will not not see that the Shengsi Islands are the gateway of the estuary, is the gateway of the Pingjiang River, and is also the flank of Hailing Mansion. ”

"......" Lin Jian groaned silently, as if thinking about Miao Shuo's words.

Miao Shuo said to Chen Huawen on the side: "Lord Chen must also know the key points of the Shengsi Prefectures...... which means that the Jiangdong Left Army can hold the Shengsi Islands, which is a great benefit to Haiyu, and he wants him to help speak.

Chen Huawen is also an old fox, standing beside Lin Tie and not debunking, he said: "This kind of key point, the lower officials rushed over to analyze it with Lord Lin, but the new defeat in eastern Zhejiang, the situation is rotten and uncontrollable, and the Donghai Kou still has heavy troops on the northern front to threaten the safety of Chongzhou." The Jiangdong Left Army has the responsibility of defending the territory, and it must first solve the threat of Chongzhou...... "He did not tell a lie, but did not mention the matter of the Haiyu Township Battalion temporarily guarding Daheng Island on behalf of the Jiangdong Left Army.

When Emperor Delong withdrew from Yudong grassland, the Chen family also benefited a lot, and Yudong Palace Village was only separated from the Dongjiang River, so he knew some of the foundation of Yudong Palace. This matter of guarding Shengsi cannot be shared by the Jiangdong Left Army and Haiyu, and Yudong Gongzhuang can pull out far more than a handful of hair.

"Defend the Shengsi Islands, the East China Sea Kou will not dare to stay on the northern line for too long, and Chongzhou will also suffer from mustard ringworm," Yuan Jinsheng couldn't help but interject and persuade, "If Lord Lin is worried about Chongzhou, Yudong Gongzhuang can borrow some elites to help Lord Chongzhou guard Chongzhou......"

"Oh?" Lin Jian pretended to look at Yuan Jinsheng in surprise.

Huangzhuang has guards and pawns, and there is no quota for personnel, which is set up according to needs, generally speaking, there are not too many. Yuan Jinsheng opened his mouth to make the decision for Yudong Gongzhuang, and wanted to defend Chongzhou for the Jiangdong Left Army - Yuan Jinsheng was in a hurry, and the secrets that leaked out were not shallow.

Yuan Jinsheng was shocked and speechless, but they had already formed a tacit understanding between each other on Su Mei's life experience, he was not worried that Lin Lian would really see some secrets of Yudong Gongzhuang, but the young armor behind Yuan Jinsheng glanced at Lin Jian with sharp eyes, making Lin Jian realize that the origin of this young man would not be too ordinary, and said secretly: Could it be a member of the Liang family?

Lin Jian wanted to immediately send troops north to Changshan Island, and he didn't play too much Taijiquan with Yuan Jinsheng and Miao Shuo, and said directly: "It's not difficult to defend the Shengsi Islands, but it's not easy to defend the Shengsi Seas...... Since Governor Yue made the Longjiang Shipyard build warships for the Jiangning Water Camp and Ninghai Zhenshui, the Jiangdong Left Army was self-raised, and it could no longer rely on the Longjiang Shipyard to build ships. The Jiangdong Left Army had no source of warships, and after several battles, the original warships were damaged a lot, and the combat strength of the boat division at sea had been seriously reduced. There are armor soldiers, it is easy to defend the island, there are no warships, and it is difficult to defend the sea. Guarding the island without guarding the sea is useless. Don't hide it from Brother Yuan and Master Miao, in order to attack the main force of the northern line of the East China Sea Kou in the north, I even had the cheekiness to borrow six warships from the Haiyu Township Camp with Lord Chen, and asked Lord Chen to lead troops to temporarily guard Daheng Island on my behalf for three days, but I really don't know what will happen after three days. ”

The six fast galleys were lent by Chen Huawen on his own initiative to strengthen the maritime combat capability of the Jiangdong Left Army.

Yuan Jinsheng and Miao Shuo immediately understood what Lin Tie meant, Miao Shuo said: "Shou Shengsi, it is a matter of course that all families should share the responsibility, but Yudong also has no big ships, and the three boats behind him are still the same, Lord Lin wants to use it, just use it." In addition, Yu Dong took another 6,000 taels of silver out to give Lord Lin as military funds, you think it's a good ......"

Lin Jian couldn't wait to raise his foot and kick Miao Shuo off the boat, really thinking that he was a countryman who had never seen silver.
