Longzangpu in the south of the city is the head of the 24 cities of Jiangning, the manor private houses are lined up one after another, the wharf port mouth stretches for more than ten miles, the boats are connected, the wide river surface is squeezed into pieces, the lanterns hanging at the bow and tail of the boat, the lights are reflected in the river, and the inner and outer rivers are like a bright galaxy in the forked Longzangpu.

On the other side of the mouth was the garrison of the Jianrui Battalion, which was pitch black, and there was no movement to be seen.

In private, it is rumored that after Anji County was attacked by the Donghai Kou, Li Zhuo summoned Hao Feihu to reprimand him, and then directly transferred the Jianrui battalion to Punan.

After that, the Jiangning Mansion also strictly supervised the ships and business trips entering and leaving Longzangpu, and even directly sent a team of horse infantry to keep an eye on the main hall of Qingfeng Xing and monitor the entry and exit.

After all, the Donghai Kou, who had the support of the luxury family behind them, wantonly attacked the prefectures and counties along the Taihu Lake, seriously infringing on the local forces in Jiangdong County. There are many contradictions between the Jiangning Mansion and the county department, but they are consistent in local interests, and it is quite polite not to directly put Yu Feihu under soft supervision.

The entrance of the Xihe Society and the Sun family's house are on the west side of the mouth, and the wharf on the outside is crowded with boats. Returning from the estuary, he was a little drunk, and the cold night wind was dispelled, Sun Jingxuan gathered his robe, and walked to the dock, Qiu Cao will set off, everything must be careful, although the congregation on duty is arranged, do not walk around, do not take a look, Sun Jingxuan is not at ease to go back to the house to rest.

Passing by her daughter Wenwan's small courtyard, listening to the laughter inside, I knew that the two daughters of the second family were also frolicking here.

"Daddy is back......" Sun Wenwan listened to the movement in the corridor, poked her head out to look, saw her father standing in front of the moon gate thinking something, and asked, "How did you eat today?" I thought you'd come back drunk. ”

"Lin Jian and Yang Pu invited most of them to the Dongyang Township Party, how can everyone have any intention of drinking?" Sun Jingxuan said, "Xisha Island wants to use our fifty ships, and I will wait for your second uncle to come back and discuss it." ”

"So many ships?" Sun Wenwan asked in surprise, "Could it be that the people he stayed on Xisha Island won't come back?" Is he really up to the luxury family? "Several big ships in Lin Bin's hands are used on Xisha Island, and the Lin family also has twenty or thirty ships for Lin Tie to use in Xisha Island for disaster relief, and at this time, they also borrowed another fifty ships from here, even if the Dongyang, "Jiyun 1" and "Jiyun 2" three ships stay on the island to prepare for war, Lin Tie can organize the transportation capacity on Xisha Island will reach as much as 15,000 stones. Such a large-scale delivery of materials to Xisha Island may have exceeded the boundary of disaster relief and preparedness.

"Who knows? But the grudge between the two sides is deep," Sun Jingxuan shook his head and sighed, and didn't think deeply, only said, "It is said that Du Rong wanted to use the Shu family to kill Lin Tie in Anji, but instead died under Lin Tie's knife, Qingfeng Xing was in chaos, and it has not eased up to this day." Shujiazhai was broken by Lin Binding, and more than 30 men, women, and children were arrested and handed over to Huzhou Mansion. The people of the county hated the Shu family for colluding with pirates to break the city, and when the Shu prisoners were paraded through the streets, they threw bricks and stones at the county people and killed seven people. The attack on Xisha Island in early August should be a counterattack by the luxury family, it is said that the victims on the island have been killed and injured countless times, and there are more than 50 people killed and injured in Jiyun Society, and your Uncle Fu also lost an arm. After the bloody battle of Jiyang, Ninghai Town said that more than 4,000 enemies were killed, and more than 1,000 people were killed by the Donghai Kou, and this part of the Donghai Kou should be the strength that the luxury family had accumulated in the Changguo Islands. ”

Sun Wenwan was full of emotion, Lin Tie entered Jiangning last winter, and swore an oath with Du Rong in Chaotianyi, and others only listened to it as wild words and jokes, who would have thought that before a year passed, Du Rong really died under Lin Tie's knife.

"Daddy, are you going to borrow a boat to lend him?" Sun Wenwan asked.

"It can't be regarded as a loan, Jiyun Society and Xihe Club hire boats and people, and business always has to be done," Sun Jingxuan said, "It's always unpopular for luxury families to mess up like this." Without the Battle of Jiyang, perhaps the situation in the east would have been eroded long ago. After the Cao Road is broken, more than 2,000 congregations in Xihe will drag their families to drink the northwest wind? ”

"Yes," Sun Wenwan said, "If this Jiangdong County is in charge of me, I will let Lin Lian go to Chongzhou to be the magistrate of the county......"

"When eating and drinking, some people complained, in the first battle of Jiyang, Lin Jian made such a great contribution, and the court only rewarded him with a first-level reward, which is too stingy. However, even if he is promoted one more level, the Xuanfu envoy will not agree to Lin Jian going to Chongzhou to be the magistrate, and it would be good if it was your turn to be a little girl in charge of the world. Sun Jingxuan laughed, and sighed in his heart that the world is difficult, the Xihe Society seems to be crowded, but there are really few court officials who can take the Xihe Society in their eyes.

"Lin Tie is doing this on Xisha Island, will there be any opinions in Chongzhou?" Sun Wenwan asked with concern.

"The attitude of the local area is worth pondering," Sun Jingxuan said with a smile, "When the East China Sea was not a disaster, Chongzhou hated Lin Tie's meddling in the affairs of Xisha Island; According to the congregation that returned from Chongzhou, Chongzhou County was worried that Lin Jian would withdraw from Xisha Island at this time. However, Jiangning Qingliu Shilin still scolded Gu Wuchen and scolded Lin Tie for the majority......"

"Probably compared to Lin Lian, an outsider, the threat of the East China Sea Kou is more serious." Sun Wenwan said softly.

"Uncle is back?" Lin Jingzhong's fiancée, Sun Jingtang's daughter Sun Wenpei, took her young sister's hand and walked out of the room, gave Sun Jingxuan a salute, and said to Sun Wenwan, "I'll tell you, don't forget the day after tomorrow, I'll go back first." ”

"What's the day after tomorrow?" Sun Jingxuan asked.

"Lord Zhao of the Criminal Department will teach prison science in Hekou the day after tomorrow," Sun Wenpei said, "The day after tomorrow, Hekou will open a grass market, and the autumn will be lucky, and the weather in the north is cold, so I will buy a thick cotton robe and give it to Uncle You." ”

"Thank you in advance." Sun Jingxuan said with a smile, his mind has been on Qiu Cao these days, and he has not paid attention to Zhao Shuhan's lecture on prison school in Hekou.

Although the Qiucao carried by the Xihe Society only has 40,000 stone grains, it is very different from the 40,000 stone Xiacao.

First of all, the total amount of Xia Cao tried this year is only 300,000 stones, even if the Hongzepu Cao Road is blocked, there are few boats, and the Weiyang waterway is also smooth, the southeast wind prevails in summer and autumn, and the water level is high, so it is very convenient. This year, the total amount of autumn water in the southeastern counties has reached 2.5 million stones, and the wind direction in autumn and winter is unfavorable, the water level is low and shallow, and the Hongzepu Cao Road is impassable, and the boats in Jiangxi and the two lakes will have to crowd over to take the Weiyang waterway, and there will be many problems.

In previous years, by this time, the boats had already been dispatched, but this year, there were many things in the prefectures and counties along the Yangtze River, and the affairs of the autumn river were also repeatedly delayed. Sun Jingxuan is worried that if it is delayed any longer, the weather will be very cold, and the rivers to the north of Huaishui will be frozen, which is a big problem, and it is likely that it will be blocked halfway for three or four months, and it will be thawed after the spring of the next year before it can continue to move forward. A large number of people were stranded on the way to eat, drink and Lazar, the river froze, and if the boat loaded with grain was crushed to the river ice, the Chengcanal Gang would have to compensate the boat with the grain.

For the autumn trouble, Sun Jingtang personally went to Huai'an Mansion to look at the water situation in the north, and many things must be fully prepared.

*********

"This vertical end is really chasing Dong Yuan......" The handsome face of the extravagant Feihu looked particularly gloomy under the candlelight, and the sound of the water in Longzangpu came leisurely from the window, which made people upset when they heard it.

Qin Zitan sat down silently, Jiang Ning Fengyi had already compared the bloody battle of Jiyang with Dong Yuan's battle against Xianxia, and Lin Jian with Dong Yuan back then; Of course, Dong Yuan was not very popular with Qingliu Shilin; But they are all fierce rivals of luxury families.

Now Jiang Ning is very wary of their side, and Li Zhuo transferred the Jianrui battalion to station near them, which is to monitor them, so that their activities are greatly restricted. Especially after Du Rong's death, Qingfengxing was quite chaotic, and they did not have a replacement candidate who could replace Du Rong, was very familiar with the situation in Jiangdong and had a wide range of contacts, making it impossible for them to make any moves in Jiangning.

The extravagant flying tiger is like a tiger trapped in a cage, and his mood is naturally not smooth, and his temper has become irritable.

"What's the fuss, it's good to let the boss suffer some setbacks, how can there be a reason to eat a fat man in one bite?" Song Jia sat lazily on the brocade couch in a neon dress, "It is far from enough for the East China Sea soldiers to unite in the Shengsi Islands, no matter how close the alliance is, it is only a rabble. This time it looks like a big loss, but in fact, it has also weakened the power of other families, I think that as long as the boss is determined to catch all the East China Sea soldiers in his own hands this time, there will be many more opportunities than before, maybe it will be a blessing in disguise......"

"The young lady has a point in saying that. If the people who attacked Jiyang this time were all Jin'an elite soldiers, Lin Jian would not have a chance to become famous," Qin Zitan said at this time, "On the other hand, in the bloody battle of Jiyang, although it is a heart-wrenching thing for Jin'an to lose more than 300 old soldiers, the other ten Donghai Kou also lost more than 700 people, which can just add more Jin'an elite soldiers." If this mode of consumption and replenishment continues, the core forces of the East China Sea Kou will be completely controlled by the luxury family, and the peripheral forces can be directly incorporated at that time. I thought that the young marquis should suggest to Jin'an, urging the eldest prince to rest and recuperate, but still need to constantly harass the three prefectures of Pingjiang, Jiahang, and Mingzhou, so as to train and reorganize in battle, and consume the strength of other forces, and transfer people from Jin'an to supplement him. ”

"Consume and replenish, consume and replenish......" Luxury Feihu gently chewed Qin Zitan's advice in his mouth, and his face softened. After the luxury family split the land and sealed the marquis, in order to reduce the vigilance of the imperial court and recuperate, only more than 10,000 elite soldiers were kept in Jin'an, and nearly 100,000 soldiers were reduced.

"I think you two brothers are too anxious," Song Jiayan said with a smile, "At this time, the situation in Jiangdong County will be completely disrupted, which will only make Liu An'er and other forces wait for the opportunity to expand and grow, and at that time, with the little people in the hands of the boss, Jin An will be beyond the reach of the whip, and it is really difficult to say whether they will obey the words of the luxury family......"

"Could it be that the loss of Jiyang can still make you say that it is a good thing?" Extravagant Feihu retorted with a rare smile.

"It's not a good thing," Qin Zitan naturally wouldn't mention Du Rong's death to ruin the fun, "Judging from the information collected so far, Lin Tie has no intention of withdrawing from Xisha Island, and the attitude of Chongzhou towards Lin Tie has also quietly changed, which is quite unfavorable to us." The only good news is that Gu Wuchen has no intention of letting Lin Jian participate in the military at present......"

"This is indeed good news," Extravagant Feihu also had to admit, "Probably because this shaft is too sharp, Gu Wuchen is worried that it will be difficult to control in the future." ”

Dongyang Township, which now has a full number of 4,000 people, is under the control of Gu Wuchen, and has shown a rather positive trend in the northern area of Dongyang, which has put Liu An'er's troops under considerable pressure on the deployment of Shiliang County; If Gu Wuchen handed over the four thousand Dongyang Township Yongdu to Lin Lian for direct command, it was likely to directly change the situation in the Hongzepu area.

"You men are so cautious, and you still want to press others all the time and everything," Song Jia said disdainfully as she sat next to her.

Ignoring his wife's taunts, he looked down at the map on the table, Lin Lian didn't remove his manpower from Xisha Island, it was also a headache.
