Leaving the Jeju Port of Danluo Island on the 20th, Gu Junxun stood on the aft deck, looked at the Danluo Island that was getting farther and farther away, and asked Lin Jian with some confusion: "Even if I am a woman, I also know the truth that others are not allowed to sleep soundly next to the couch, why is King Danluo not a little wary?" ”

Lin Jian smiled slightly, and said with a smile: "Before you went to sea this time, how did you know that it would be so convenient to borrow the west wind from Chongzhou to Danluo?" ”

For a long time, the political requirements of the Central Plains royal power on these island states in the vast East China Sea were limited to submission, and in order to show the magnanimity of a great power, the annual reward was even much higher than the tribute, unlike Goryeo, which had been trying to turn Danluo directly into a direct territory.

The Danluo people did not have much resistance to becoming a vassal state of the Great Yue Dynasty, and besides, in the eyes of the world, the thousands of miles of sea were like a ravine, who would have territorial ambitions for islands beyond the thousands of miles of sea?

Gu Junxun nodded as if he didn't understand, his eyes were still suspicious, but he didn't ask any further.

Lin Jian turned to look at the shadow of the South Goryeo coast when the sea and sky appeared in the north, and under the setting sun, it seemed to be a faint cold line.

Lin Jian had no intention of landing at South Goryeo, and after leaving Danluo Island, the fleet headed south-westward in order to enter the Black Water Ocean as quickly as possible, and then quickly head north by the current.

In the case that the troops of Chongzhou and Shengsi were very tight, Lin Jian still had to station the elite troops in Danluo, and after the Sebao in Jeju Port was built, he would also strengthen the garrison there.

The area of Danluo Island itself is large enough, hundreds of miles longitudinal and horizontal, there are cultivated plains, there are islands that can be defended, rich in products, and it is bordered by Goryeo in the north, and Kyushu Island and Honshu Island are across the sea.

To put it simply, once the situation in the Central Plains is eroded, the trade routes from Jiangdong County to the inland are cut off, and bulk commodities such as silk, cotton, sugar, porcelain, tea, and salt will fall into unsalable goods (in fact, this trend has been very obvious after the Cao Canal Road is cut off), and then sea ships can be organized to dump these goods through Danluo Island to Goryeo, Kyushu, Honshu and other places, so that the current prosperous economic system of Sangyuan silk farms, textiles, grain, salt, porcelain and other workshops in Jiangdong County will avoid collapse...... Lin Jian seized this trade route, and naturally he could extract heavy taxes from it as funds to raise the army.

On the surface, supporting the Danluo people was conducive to the internal friction of Goryeo, and once the Jiangdong Left Army had enough strength, it was bound to turn Goryeo from a vassal state of the Donghu people into a force that threatened Donghu from the flank.

Going deeper, once the situation in the Central Plains is so eroded that the Jiangdong Left Army will not be able to gain a foothold at all, or after Emperor Chongguan or King Ning ascended the throne, they will be wise and martial or eat shit luck, so that the situation in the Central Plains will suddenly be lucky, Xisha Island and Shengsi Islands are too close to the land and are not good sequestration areas, and Danluo Island, which is about three times the size of Xisha Island, is much more suitable.

**********

Leaving Danluo, southwesterly into the Heishui Ocean channel, and then going north, almost parallel to the west coast of the Goryeo Peninsula, at dawn on the 22nd, you see the easternmost cape of the Shandong Peninsula, turn to the northwest, pass through the channel between Daqin Island and Dangji Island in the north of Dengzhou at dusk, and meet the patrol ship of Dengzhou Shuiying in the west sea area of Daqin Island.

Compared with the three-masted and five-masted giant ships of the Jinhai, the two dhows of Dengzhou Shuiying were like clowns struggling in the wind and waves, and they didn't even dare to approach the mind to interrogate their origins, so they sailed back to Dengzhou Shuiying.

The Dengzhou Water Battalion has 20 battalions and more than 12,000 soldiers, and its strength is the sum of the original Ninghai Town Water Battalion and Jiangning Water Battalion, and it is also the only town army water battalion in the Dayue Dynasty that focuses on coastal defense.

Su Hu asked for the construction of Dengzhou Water Camp in that year, considering that Liaodong was connected with Guannai by land, which was thousands of miles away, and the mountains were high and the roads were dangerous, and from Dengzhou to Jinzhou (now Dalian) in the southeast corner of Liaoning, it was only more than 200 miles by sea, and it was not necessary to transport grain and grass into Liaodong by sea.

Originally, the Dengzhou Water Camp was built to transport troops; After the loss of Liaodong, in order to strengthen the containment of the eastern captives who occupied Liaodong, the position of Dengzhou Shuiying became increasingly important.

In Li Zhuo's Pingyu strategy, it was expected that the Dengzhou Water Battalion could develop a partial division and strange army that would directly attack the heart of the eastern army, and the Dengzhou Water Battalion became the key investment object of Li Zhuozhi's Northern Army, and the establishment was expanded to 20 battalions.

However, at the time of Li Zhuo's thinking on managing the army, the Dengzhou Water Battalion was in the nature of crossing the sea and landing operations, rather than developing the ability to confront at sea or sail far to the sea.

The main defense object of the Dengzhou Water Battalion, the Donghu people, does not even have the so-called maritime military force, and in the situation where military spending is so tight, there is no need for the Dengzhou Water Battalion to invest heavily in the development of large patrol sailing ships.

Watching the two dloops of the Dengzhou Water Battalion walk away timidly, Ge Yuan smiled and said: "The whole division of the Jinghai Water Battalion is going north, and the Dengzhou Army is also vulnerable......

Lin Lian overlooks the Liaodong Peninsula in the north, in the evening sunset, the coastline of Jinzhou Horn is tortuous and charming, in order to guard against the Dengzhou army, the Dongyu people have thousands of elite soldiers in the city of Jinzhou, and the city is also a rare strong in Liaodong - to speak, this Jinzhou city is still built by the Hou Su Hu of Jingbei, but it is taken away by the Donghu people without a single soldier.

At noon on the 24th, the fleet arrived at the Tsuhai Sea, which was in the midst of a scorching cold.

***********

On the 15th, he went out of Chongzhou and arrived at Jinhai on the 24th, and he had to deduct the three days delayed in Danluo, and it took half a month to walk by land on horseback, but it actually took only six days.

The north is in the cold season, the sea ice in the Bohai Sea is sealed to the north of the Jinhai Sea, almost sealing the vortex port firmly, if that is the case, the grain transported from Shandong will first go ashore in the south of Xiaobotou Village.

Sun Fengyi and Zhou Guangnan took a boat to Jinwei Island to see Sun Shangwang in the afternoon, but they didn't know that Lin Jian was coming, and Sun Shangwang and the people of Jinhai did not get the news in advance.

If you have to go by sea, you have to go quickly, and there is no way to notify this side in advance from Chongzhou, so they don't know about Lin Lian's filial piety in Chongzhou for three months.

"Tang Gong is so dead, didn't you send a letter from the south?" Sun Fengyi squatted on the stone foundation and chewed bitter tea leaves, he knew that Lin Tie was headed by Sun Shangwang here, Lin Xuwen had something important, and he would be the first to find Sun Shangwang to discuss, Tang Haoxin died, everyone was holding their breath in their stomachs, but when they calmed down, they would inevitably panic, he met Zhou Guangnan at the vortex mouth in the afternoon, and they came to Jinwei Island together......

Others don't know that Sun Fengyi and Zhou Guangnan, who are already figures in the inner circle of Jinhai, of course they know that Tang Haoxin was cornered and died on a hunger strike, and the Liang father and son immediately led troops into Shandong, the situation is really worrying.

Zhou Guangnan suppressed his voice and said: "Tang Haoxin's towering mountain-like character, the official family said that he would push it down, and it was effortless, what should I do in the future?" ”

"Effortless?" Sun Shangwang snorted, as if he was disdainful of the high imperial power of the Son of Heaven, and said to Sun Fengyi, "If it is really effortless, there is no need to be so generous in the future...... Jinhai has been promoted by one level since Lin Xuwen.

"That's a good thing to say, Gyeonggi is still relying on this side," Sun Fengyi said, "but once the Liang clan has a firm foothold in Shandong, things will not be so easy......

"It's useless for the Liang family to gain a firm foothold in Shandong, the Jiaolai River is so shallow and narrow, and it takes two times to lift water in the central hills, Chen/Yuanliang, Du Juefu, Zhang Jinxian and others pile up the stalls and leave, Lu Guogong doesn't catch the blind, I will help cut the head to you......" Sun Shangwang said, "The maritime merchants of Hecang and Dengzhou are in close contact these days, and the people's hearts should not be scattered, everyone is united, and the officials can't help us ......"

"That's all there is now, Lin Fuzun said the same," Sun Fengyi nodded and said, but the gloom on his face did not disappear.

Zhou Guangnan suppressed his voice and said, "Is there a boat going south, why don't you go to Chongzhou in person?" ”

"......" Sun Shangwang knew that the people of Jinhai were hugged together because of Lin Tie, like the Cangnan Sun family and the Jinhai Zhou family were still small clans that were not very famous in Hejian Mansion before the year before last.

Lin Lian's prestige cannot be replaced by Lin Xuwen.

Datong has been besieged for almost three months, the northern Jin region has been destroyed in a mess, and there are Dongyu cavalry who intend to enter Yannan from the mouth in the north of Taihang Mountain, fortunately Li Bingbu led troops to block, but whether the situation in Yanbei can avoid being like last year's rotten to the end, the key depends on whether Chen Zhihu can hold in Datong.

The father and son of the Liang family took a break from the capture of Linqing, and fought continuously from the 14th, from Xiajin, Pingyuan, Linyi, Jiyang, and Jinan, chasing the main force of the Tianyuan rebels.

The leader of the rebels, Ge Ping, could not resist, and on the 21st, he led the main force of the Tianyuan Liumin Army to withdraw from Jinan and retreated south in a hurry.

The Liang family father and son led their troops into Shandong on the sixth day of the first month, and recovered the northeast border of Shandong in half a month, and the momentum was unparalleled for a while, and even the light of Li Zhuo and Lin Jian was completely covered by the Liang family and his son.

With the support of the official family, coupled with the fact that the Liang family is also a powerful eunuch family, there are people, power, money, and elite soldiers and brave generals in their hands, and now they have used their military exploits to rise sharply, Chen / Yuan Liang, Du Juefu, Zhang Jinxian and others want to prevent the Liang family from controlling the Jiaolai River in Qingzhou, and it seems that they can't hold on for much time.

Once the Jiaolai River is controlled by the Liang family, the source of the Jinhai grain road is not in the hands of this side - what is the style of the Liang family, as early as when the Liang father and son were in charge of the northern border army of Yan, the merchants of Denglai and Hejian Mansion who dealt with the border army did not go bankrupt because of this, even if it was good luck, where can it be compared with the reputation of Lin Bin?

At this time, the lookout post on the north mountain of Jinwei Island issued a warning whistle, and signaled with a flag that a large fleet of ships was coming from the southeast.

"I'm afraid it's Chongzhou coming to the ship?" Sun Shangwang stood up suspiciously and looked in the southeast direction, and did not forget to strengthen the vigilance of the generals guarding the island, the situation in Shandong is very complicated, and it is not ruled out that the Dengzhou Water Battalion will send a fleet to serve them in a pot.

Sun Shangwang, Sun Fengyi, Zhou Guangnan and others climbed to a high place and saw a mast sail floating out of the sea.

Sun Fengyi is old, but his eyesight is good, and he shouted happily: "The five-masted ship is a ship from Chongzhou, ah...... The first five ships are all five-masted ships, how could Chongzhou pull out so many ships at this time? Thinking of a possibility, he looked at Zhou Guangnan and Sun Shangwang face to face, and saw that they were surprised and happy in their eyes, and knew that their thoughts were the same as their own: Lin Tie has come.
