Chapter 29: Mountain Zen Temple
(The first update, ask for a red ticket)
Zilang Mountain Mountains, South Cliff River, steep and sharp, standing on the top of the mountain Zen Temple, looking at the stone railing, the dark river flow under the moonlight is sparkling and sparkling, Xisha Island and other river islands are like the dark shadow that floats and sinks in the moonlight of the river, and the military mountain not far away reveals the blue-black line.
The distance between Junshan and Zilang Mountain is so close, the northwest foot of Junshan and the southeast foot of Zilang Mountain are separated by a shallow water of less than 300 steps, Ninghai Town garrison camp is located at the north foot of Junshan, built along the North Mountain, looking at it by moonlight, the traces are clear.
"It can be seen that Xiao Taoyuan has spent a lot of money in the past two years to run a military cottage," Lin Jian said with a slight sigh, "I really want to think of a way to take the garrison of Ninghai Town away, if Ninghai Town can not hold back and provoke first......
"How can there be such a good thing?" Fu Qinghe shook his head and smiled, and said, "They will provoke us in Chongzhou when they are full at this time-if it is an ordinary dispute, think with your toes, and know that Yue Lengqiu will be biased towards Ninghai Town......"
Sun Wenyao was tortured in Qingzhou and suffered a serious foot injury, so he stayed on Changshan Island to recuperate, and Sun Jingxuan, Sun Jingtang, and Sun Wenwan also knew the details of the Baisha County robbery case and the Chongzhou boy case after leaving Changshan Island. I am also really full of emotion for Lin Bin's tortuous experience, if there is no such tortuous and difficult experience, it is hard to imagine that Lin Tie will have such great achievements in two or three years.
Whether it is the official position, the title, or the actual power and military power in his hands, Lin Jian is no weaker than Xiao Tao, the deputy general of Ninghai Town and the commander of the sixth battalion of the Ninghai Water Division, but he is worried that Xiao Taoyuan is anxious to jump over the wall and lead the water camp in Ninghai Town to defect to Donghai Kou and the luxury family.
But in any case, now is the time to start planning against Xiao Taoyuan and make the victims of the Chongzhou boy case return to Chongzhou to reunite with their families, and the first step is to completely eliminate Xiao Taoyuan's infiltration into the interior of Chongzhou and drive the Ninghai Town garrison back to Jiyang from the military cottage!
"In addition to the military cottages, Xiao Taoyuan has also set up a lot of hidden piles in various parts of Chongzhou to monitor the families of the victims of the Chongzhou boy case," Sun Jingxuan said, "There is an excuse to clear up the bandit case, and these hidden piles can be uprooted together!" ”
"This is a good way...... Lin Tie nodded, affirming Sun Jingxuan's suggestion, these hidden piles could have been included in the suspicious characters for investigation, and if these hidden piles were pulled out, Xiao Taoyuan's eyes would be blinded by staring at Chongzhou.
After more than ten days of getting along, Sun Jingxuan and the others have completed the role change, and they all tried their best to plan for Lin Bin, and said: "Maybe Xiao Baiming, Chen Qianhu and other generals of the Ninghai Town garrison in Chongzhou can also be involved in the bandit case, but to avoid stimulating them to jump off the wall in a hurry, the incriminating evidence can be plausible, and many things will also be handed over to the Governor's Mansion and Yue Lengqiu for disposal......"
“…… However, this will prompt Xiao Tao to fall to Yue Lengqiu. Lin Mengde said worriedly, at this time in Jiangdong, the balance of forces between the two sides has been seriously tilted in favor of Yue Lengqiu, Xiao Taoyuan is still the first general of the town army to win over Gu Wuchen, and they don't want Xiao Taoyuan to completely fall to Yue Lengqiu.
"Maybe you can't worry too much," Lin Jian muttered, "Maybe Xiao Taoyuan will be pushed to Yue Lengqiu today, and there will be fewer scruples in the future!" In short, it is not too late to discuss how to collect some incriminating evidence first, and how to implement it in the end. ”
After all, the forces of Tang Gu's family are weak, and the forces of the descendants can no longer withstand the big toss. Lin Tie was worried that if he endured it at this time, if Xiao Taoyuan became an important force for Gu Wuchen in Jiangdong, it would be inconvenient to tear his face in the future, and he was afraid that Gu Wuchen would also persuade him to focus on the overall situation and calm things down.
Lin Mengde thought that things always have pros and cons, and when he saw Fu Qinghe, he was noncommittal, so he didn't say anything more.
Lin Jian remembered one thing, turned sideways and said to Sun Jingxuan and Sun Wenwan: "There is one thing to ask Miss Sun to do, and I have to ask Mr. Sun and Miss Sun to agree." ”
"Your Excellency, please." Sun Wenwan replied softly.
"There are two very special female guests to be imprisoned in this mountaintop meditation monastery, and it is quite inconvenient to use others, so I plan to select healthy women from the Xihe Society and the people of Xisha Island to make a women's camp. I heard from your father and brother that you are quite handy in handling the affairs of the Xihe Conference, and you have also practiced martial arts, are you willing to manage the women's camp? Lin Jian asked.
"Wen Wan listens to your lord's orders." Sun Wenwan replied in a low voice. How could she ask for more, her father and brother were sentenced to exile, according to the legal system, the wives and concubines of exiled prisoners were required to accompany them to the border areas or for military service, while the parents and children of exiles did not have such mandatory requirements. But she was directly involved in the Changyi case, and finally sentenced her to come to Chongzhou with her father Liubian, except for the amnesty of the Son of Heaven, during the ten years, she was just a female prisoner.
Lin Jian asked Sun Jingxuan again: "Mr. Sun, do you think this arrangement is good?" After all, Sun Jingxuan is Sun Wenwan's father, and if he wants to use Sun Wenwan to do things, he naturally has to get Sun Jingxuan's approval.
"I'm afraid that Wanniang will live up to the trust of adults." Sun Jingxuan said, so he agreed to this matter.
The women of the River Gang did not have the taboo of showing their heads, and besides, their Sun family was bound to Xisha Island with Lin after all, after all, they were serving exile, and Wan Niang could no longer be raised as an eldest lady in the courtyard of the deep house, and in the future, the family members of the Xihe Society would also move to Chongzhou one after another, and Wan Niang should also be asked to take responsibility. Lin Jian will gain a foothold in Chongzhou in the future, and will naturally bring his wife and concubine to Chongzhou, the status of the women's camp is quite critical, and Wan Niang will lead the women's camp, which can be regarded as a direct embodiment of the Sun family's integration into the Jiangdong Left Army, and Sun Jingxuan naturally has no reason to refuse.
As for the two special female guests imprisoned in the Zen Academy, several people in this room know about it, and these two people are really a headache, they can't be killed, they can't be released, they can only be imprisoned first, and only Sun Wenwan is suitable to be in charge of this matter. Of course, it may be more appropriate for the fourth lady or Sun Jingtang's concubine to be in charge of these, but they are all in Jiangning, and they can't get out of Chongzhou for a while.
Lin Jian looked up at the moonlight and said, "Everyone is tired enough today, many things, we will discuss it tomorrow; Miss Sun accompanied me to meet these two special female guests! ”
Fu Qinghe and Hu Zhiyong had to take a boat back to Xisha Island overnight, and Sun Jingxuan, Sun Jingtang and others were also familiar with the people and things of Chongzhou and Xisha Island in order to take on important responsibilities.
Chongzhou City has been completely destroyed, and no matter what happens to Hailing Mansion, Jiangdong County Division, and Governor's Mansion, the Jiangdong Left Army will have to bear most of the responsibility for reconstruction. In addition to the mess in Chongzhou, there are more than 1,000 soldiers and more than 1,000 congregations of the Xihe Society on their way to Chongzhou, and they will arrive in three or five days, and there is a big mess to do.
The current situation in Jiangdong is like this, even if Yue Lengqiu wants to restrict Lin Lian's forces from taking root in Chongzhou, he doesn't dare to let Chongzhou continue to erode. That is not only a matter of restricting Lin and Gu Wuchen, but also directly shaking the foundation of his foothold in Jiangdong.
The imperial court made him the governor of Jianghuai to prepare for the relocation of the capital, and the most important thing was to stabilize the situation in Jiangdong, and he now had to make every effort to deal with Hong Zekou and Liu An'er's troops, and use the Jiangdong Left Army to hold the Chongzhou River Estuary, Hailing Mansion, Weiyang Mansion and the sea area outside Chongzhou, in fact, to relieve the pressure he himself beared.
This is the way of the world, even if the two factions are as powerful as fire and water, but they are on the same broken ship, sometimes they have to restrain each other and tolerate each other.
After the Changyi mutiny, Lin Lian supported the army to enter Shandong, which can also make Yue Lengqiu understand that Lin Lian is not a character that can be restrained by ordinary means, at least until Liu An'er and Zhukou are successfully resolved, Yue Lengqiu will be much more tolerant of Lin Lian than before.
From the fact that he secretly instigated Xiao Xuanchou to reopen the prison city at the mouth of the Chongzhou River, it is known that Yue Lengqiu's focus at this time has changed to restrain the Lin clan's power from over-expanding in Jiangning.
If the imperial court really made a decision to move the capital to Jiangning, Jiangning would naturally replace Yanjing as the center of power, and Chongzhou, which was five hundred miles away, would become a relatively border area.
Even if Chongzhou has become the territory of Lin Bin's power, it is only a county of land, in Yue Lengqiu's view, no matter how big Lin Bin's ability is, the territory is only one county, how much can he do, and Chongzhou can be used as a source of food is only 10,000 taels of silver a year.
The moonlight was quite good, and Lin Jian and Sun Wenwan passed through the secluded path and walked to the side courtyard where Song Jia and Hao Mingyue were held.
Song Jia and Auntie Mingyue are very important, they are not the same, Ao Canghai recognized their identities, and directly made Lin Jian appreciate Liu Zhenzhi, a sentry who has grown up from the homeless people on Xisha Island, with a team of guards.
Lin Jian instructed Liu Zhenzhi to hand over the defense of this side courtyard to Sun Wenwan, he took Ao Canghai and more than a dozen guards into the courtyard first, and let the guards wait outside, he and Ao Canghai walked into the corridor, looked at the lights leaking out of the crack in the door, knocked on the door and asked: "Has the young lady rested in peace, Lin Jian came to disturb him!" ”
"Lord Lin is now majestic, holding monstrous authority, breaking into the house, why do you need to be so careful? Let the concubine mistakenly think that she is the master here, or does Lord Lin want to be a thief first? Song Jia's clear voice came from the room.
Lin Jian and Ao Canghai smiled, this woman has sharp teeth and sharp mouth, how can she have the consciousness of being a prisoner? He said: "Isn't Lin Jian afraid that the young lady will hide behind the door with a knife and make everyone unhappy? Besides, under the melon field and plums, it is appropriate to say hello. Pushing open the door, I saw Song Jia sitting on the table, her delicate face reflected in the candle flame for no reason, without the slightest panic and panic for the ban, it was really a rare beauty in the world, but I don't know how the heartache of the luxury Feihu would be after the fall of Guangjiao Temple.
Ao Canghai was just worried about Lin Lian's safety, so he stayed in the porch and didn't follow in.
Luxury Mingyue is still young, beautiful is beautiful, only seventeen years old, she is still childish, standing behind Song Jia, staring at Lin Jian who walked in with angry eyes.
Lin Lian made a gesture and said: "Lin Lian asks the young lady to say goodbye, if there is any disturbance, please also ask the young lady to forgive me for one or two ......."
"Forgive me, will you let me and Mingyue go back to Jiangning?" Song Jia asked with a light smile, a pair of beautiful eyes stared at Lin Tie Qingjun's slightly dark and thin face, this man in front of him, there are always unexpected places for people to discover, I was still a little uneasy before, watching Lin Tie walk in, it was quite strange, the uneasiness in my heart disappeared, she knew that Lin Tie could not let her go back to Jiangning with Mingyue to reunite with the Flying Tiger, and at this time she thought to herself, it doesn't hurt to stay here, you might as well stay in this mountain Zen Monastery to see how the world changes, who is the last hero to laugh at the world, The luxury family may only deserve to be that stepping stone in the end.
Seeing Song Jia calm and calm, Lin Jian was quite disappointed, and he couldn't satisfy his bad taste at all, so he could only smile perfunctorily: "The young lady is really joking, I will send the young lady and Miss Hao back to Jiangning, isn't it going to turn the world upside down?" ”
"What do you want to do?" Luxury Mingyue was terribly scared in her heart, Lin Bin's smile became more and more evil in her eyes, in her eyes, Lin Tie was quite lustful, she was afraid that he would pollute her and her sister-in-law's body, so she was strong and courageous, and said sharply, "I advise you to let me and my sister-in-law go, don't wait for the second brother to lead the troops to fight Chongzhou, you will regret it again!" ”
"I'm also scared in my heart," Lin Jian looked at Hao Mingyue with a frightened look, and said with a smile, "But I'm afraid that the luxury family won't admit that the young lady and Miss Hao have fallen into my hands, how can you let me hand you over?" Or please ask the young lady and Miss luxury to come to Chongzhou with peace of mind, the scenery in the mountains is not bad, you can spend the year, not too lonely. If there is any need, it is commanded. ”
Song Jia sighed slightly, stared at the candle flame, and then said quietly: "The catastrophe of Chongzhou is not what Mingyue and I want to see, Mingyue also persuaded his brother's subordinates to be merciful, but these things are not allowed for us women to intervene, no matter what happens in the future, I hope you don't embarrass Mingyue ......"
Many people knew in their hearts that the Hou Luxury Family of Jin An was standing behind Donghai Kou, but no one was willing to poke open this layer of window paper, the Luxury Family didn't want to, Li Zhuo didn't want to, Gu Wuchen didn't want to, Yue Lengqiu didn't want to, and Lin Lian didn't want to.
Lin Jian attacked the Guangjiao Temple of Zilang Mountain on the grounds of banditry, and captured the wife of the luxury Feihu and the daughter of the luxury Wenzhuang in the Guangjiao Temple, and could not Song Jia and the luxury Mingyue openly return it to the luxury family. Once that is done, it means that the layer of window paper between the luxury family and the Donghai Kou will no longer be able to cover up, and it can't be said that Song Jia and Aunt Mingyue happened to rush from Jiangning to Chongzhou to enter the bandit temple and enter the incense, right?
Although Lin Jian was very disgusted with the Xixi Society's scholars who could only play lip service, he had to admit that these scholars and Qingliu were precisely important political forces that could not be ignored in the DPRK and China. Once the layer of window paper covering the luxury family and the Donghai Kou is pierced, even if the pragmatic officials in the DPRK and China want to continue to cover their ears and steal the bell, they will be forced to use troops against the luxury family again under the pressure of public opinion from those scholars who regard themselves as upright men and gentlemen.
After ten years of war, Eastern Fujian was deeply traumatized, and the war potential of the luxury family was almost exhausted, and it was very necessary to take time to recuperate, otherwise even if it succeeded in dragging down the Great Yue Dynasty, it would only be cheaper for others in the end.
It will take a long time for the luxury family to implement the policy of abandoning land and going to sea, and it will take a long time to make strategic adjustments.
The reason why the Longjiang Shipyard was able to build a large seagoing ship of 5,000 stone in six months or even less was that the government-run shipyard with a long history and strong strength had accumulated a large number of qualified shipbuilding materials before, and of course the technical savings were also an extremely important factor.
Longjiang Shipyard takes the millennium Chuandong Nanmu as the main material of the keel and gunway of large seagoing ships in Vietnam, and it takes a lot of time to prepare these main materials. No matter how much financial resources are invested, it is impossible for the luxury family to reach the shipbuilding level of Longjiang Shipyard in a short period of time.
Time, time, the luxury family needs time more than anyone else, and raising the East China Sea Kou can be used to support the war, but the luxury family definitely does not want to fall directly into the war of attrition again at this time.
The Dayue Dynasty was riddled with holes, and it really did not have the financial resources to organize large-scale wars in Eastern Fujian. If the luxury family does not directly raise the flag to rebel, no matter how much trouble the Donghai Kou makes, the center will only treat the Donghai Kou as an ordinary Haikou force.
Lin Jian was also worried that after the layer of window paper was revealed, the luxury family would be forced to invest all their resources in the islands of Changguo County to strike at Liangzhejiang and Jiangdong, and at that time, Chongzhou would also have to bear several times more pressure than now, and there would be no time left for him to continue to lay a solid foundation on Xisha Island.
In this case, Song Jia and Hao Mingyue fell into the hands of Lin Lian, and they really became yams, and it was impossible for Lin Lian to secretly return the second daughter to the luxury family, anyway, it didn't take much to imprison them in the mountain Zen courtyard.
