Lord of the House

As a rule, strong bows, crossbows, and knives are not allowed in the townships. One of the advantages of the inspector's office is to monitor local military equipment. Gu Wuchen, as the vice-chaplain of the inspector, went to Dongyang Prefecture to lead its territory and quell the rebellion with two hundred township braves as the escort. In the case of bandit suppression, many things can be done under power.

When Gu Wuchen departed from the northern border of Beitang County for Dongyang at noon the next day, Lin Jiyuan and Chen Shouyan led Xiang Yong from the arsenal to collect ten crossbows, twenty crossbows, sixty bows, and twenty swords. , 60 pieces of armor, 20 mules and carriages, all of a sudden make the village bravery and military equipment look brand new and look very good. In addition, Lin Fu brought Lin Jiyuan and Chen Shouyan 500 taels of official silver each to Dongyang Mansion just in case.

In Dongyang, only Shiliang County fell into the enemy's hands, and most of the government's borders were relatively calm. In addition to the two hundred villagers, Yang Pu and Ma Chao also led two hundred chariots to guard Gu Wuchen.

Admiral Zuo Shangrong set off for Haozhou House last night; Gu Wuchen set off from the camp in the north of Gutang County after lunch. Lin Fu also did not stay in the camp. After sending Gu Wuchen and others to the westbound road, he and Zhou Pu and all the Wuwei also rode from the dirt road on the west bank of the Shiliang River to Chaotianyi and took a boat back to the mouth of the river.

It is already early summer, the ancient willows along the coast are shaded, the wild grass is no longer high, the river is clear, it has just rained a while, the road is muddy, Lin Bie and Zhou Pu ride their horses slowly.

"Master Lin..."

Hearing Gao Zongting's voice calling from behind, Lin Su restrained the horse and looked back, and saw more than a dozen cavalry soldiers crowding an open-walled and pillared carriage, and Gao Zongting sat in the carriage and called him.

"Mr. Gao is also going back to Jiangning?" Lin Fie restrained Ma and waited for Gao Zongting to approach in the carriage. He wanted to keep a distance from Li Zhuo's family, and there was no need to meet him on the road and not speak.

"I went to Chaotianyi Station, but I didn't expect to be able to go with Lord Lin. Chaotiandang North Shore has the most refugees, and the commander is always worried. I'm afraid of trouble, so I want to go and take a look." Gao Zongting said.

"Oh." Lin Fu responded coldly. Between Li Zhuo and Gu Wuchen, he could only choose Gu Wuchen.

"Lord Lin, what's your opinion on Hong Zepu's suppression of the rebellion?" Gao Zongting turned a blind eye to Lin Fu's indifference.

"Mr. Lin is humble, it doesn't matter what Lin's opinion is, what matters is the opinion of the commander and the adults." Lin Fu said.

"Lord Lin also thinks that letting the situation drag on is beneficial to the society and the more than two million people along the Hongzepu coast?" Gao Zongting refused to let Lin Bie go easily.

Lin Fu sighed softly, looked at the Qingyang River in the distance, and said, "My forest land was invaded by water bandits, I really hope to recover the lost land soon, but today's sage and Lord Chaozhong have their own plans, I When it comes to the community and people's livelihood, the last time I passed Chaotiandang North Bank was seven or eight days ago, and I saw that most of the refugees were still stranded in the floodplain area where the water level was before the summer flood season. Building an embankment on the periphery of the river beach. This is a very dangerous thing. I want to come to the commander and Mr. Gao to be aware of it. Lin Bie is just saying something here..."

"Oh!" Gao Zongting suddenly sat upright and asked subconsciously, "What's the danger?"

"That's Lin Fu's overthinking..." Lin Fu refused to say any more, and only looked at Gao Zongting with his eyes.

Gao Zongting was not a fool. He thought about what Lin Bie was reminding of the danger, and suddenly broke into a cold sweat.

Refugees stranded on the beach spontaneously build embankments, which are naturally extremely simple mud embankments.

When the water rises in spring, the water in Chaotian Dangli rises inch by inch. The water level is gentle. The mud embankment can keep the water out of the river embankment. Like brittle.

At this time, the hundreds of thousands of refugees stranded in the river beach were as dangerous as sitting on the crater of a volcano.

Gao Zongting had been paying attention to Li Zhuo and observing the situation in Jiangning City. After Li Zhuo entered Jiangning, he took over many things of the Jiangning garrison, which was enough to keep them busy. The northern border of Gutang County was garrisoned. It had only been three days, and he had not noticed the danger in the river beach.

"Gu Tang officials should all be killed!" Gao Zongting cursed bitterly.

Lin Bie looked at Bo Yin Qingkong and didn't say anything. Gao Zongting didn't punish him at all.

The Yangtze River is flooded every year. In order to protect Jiangning City on the south bank from the threat of floods, it has been strictly forbidden to build stone embankments on the north bank of Chaotiandang since the founding of the dynasty.

For more than two hundred years, the people on the north bank of Chaotiandang have also figured out a rule. With the flood storage capacity of Chaotiandang Lake, mud embankments are built from Chaotianyi and the southern foot of Lingyan Mountain, which can basically resist the influx of Chaotiandang in summer and autumn. flood water. The government also built a post road westward to Tuzhou along the embankment, which further strengthened the embankment. The Gutu Post Road has become a clear dividing line. On the north side of the Gutu Post Road are fertile fields and manors. Although the large river beach on the south side of the post road is exposed to hundreds of thousands of acres during the dry season in winter, in fact, it is together with Chaotian Dang. flood storage period.

Ordinary people don't know hydrology, and it's not surprising that they can't see the danger in it. In this world, the art of craftsmanship was not taken seriously. When a scholar saw the refugees building mud embankments on the outside of the river beach, most of them praised the move to encircle tens of thousands of acres of fertile land for the people, but it is impossible for the local officials to not know the details. .

From around the New Year's Eve to the present, there have been hundreds of thousands of refugees stranded on the river beach, with shacks one after another, like a forest of graves under the moonlight. However, for several months, the officials of Gutang County pretended to be deaf and turned a blind eye.

Gaozong Ting straightened his back and bowed to Lin Fuzuo: "Zong Ting has a request, please don't shirk Lord Lin for the livelihood of hundreds of thousands of people; I will rush to Chaotian Station first, and ask Lord Lin to stay at Chaotian Station for one night today..." Chu Dang The power is great, and Lin Fu rises in Jiangning with the help of Gu Wuchen. At this time, it is absolutely impossible to escape from Gu Wuchen. He knows that Lin Fu will not openly go with him to the north bank of Chaotiandang to check the situation of the river beach, but Lin Fu pays attention to this issue and has his own opinion. , Gao Zongting hopes to discuss ideas with him at that time,

Lin Fu sighed in his heart and said, "I went to Chaotianyi to find Master Zuo Sikou Zhang for a drink. Most of the time I won't be able to cross the river tonight." There is still nearly a hundred miles to go to Chaotianyi, and it is almost time for them to reach Chaotianyi. it's dark.

Without further delay, Gao Zongting immediately abandoned the carriage and rode to Chaotian Station.

The flood season will begin in another month. If the river beach is really dangerous, it will not be an easy task to relocate 200,000 refugees in a month without causing trouble.

This matter was originally the responsibility of Jiangning County, but before this matter was clearly understood, it was impossible to show off with the local government.

Gao Zongting and the others rushed away regardless of the muddy road and their horses. Lin Bing's chest was always filled with a suffocating qi that could not be exhausted. He and Zhou Pu also speeded up and rushed to Chaotianyi. To Lin Fu's surprise, they walked 20 miles and saw several merchant ships from Qingfenghang slowly heading south in the Shiliang River.

Looking at the Qingfenghang commercial flag hanging on the main mast of the merchant ship, Lin Tie restrained his horse on the river bank and glanced at Zhou Pu.

Calculating the time, the merchant ships of Qingfenghang should have passed the pontoon checkpoint in the north of Gutang County before noon. Lin Fu and the others retreated from Luoyang Lake all the way to the south. It was certain that there were no large merchant ships stranded in the Shiliang River. The merchant ships from Qingfeng were either in other rivers in Shiliang County, or they left Luoyang after them. out of the lake.

It is not unbelievable that the She family secretly supported Liu An'er and other Hongze Pushui Village forces to revolt. The secret participation of the She family can also explain why the refugees in the south of Shanglinli are in chaos so fast.

Lin Fu furiously whipped the horse's hips and galloped south.

When they passed the Qingfeng merchant ship, they saw a few people standing at the bow of the ship, and the two sides were only more than ten feet apart. Among them, a young man in green shirt, Lin Fu had seen several times beside She Feihu. Feihu brought Jiangning's important advisors.

Lin Fu became more and more sure that the luxury family had an inseparable relationship in the Hong Zepu turmoil.

****************

On the bow of the merchant ship, the young man in green shirt watched Lin Fu and Zhu Wuwei gallop away, frowning slightly, and followed the middle-aged man beside him and said, "He is Lin Fu. It seems to have come prepared, and there is news that someone in the Hongzepu Water Village is hiding the spoils of war, so maybe he is playing tricks in it."

"I saw him in Baisha County~www.wuxiaspot.com~ where he has a very different attitude from this time. It is best to kill such a person with one stroke, so as not to become a serious problem in the future," said the middle-aged man, "I heard that the young lady wants to woo him?"

"You don't care about the young lady's side," said the young man in green shirt, "the eleven people around him are well armed, all of them are not mediocre, and the horses they ride are also good. How many people can you be sure to get rid of him without leaving a trace? "

The middle-aged man looked at the ships going to Jiangning for refuge in the Shiliang River. The riverbank reported that the cavalrymen were constantly coming and going. It was very difficult to pretend to be a rogue and kill Lin Biejie in the wilderness without leaving a trace; Of course, the real order to be executed requires a nod from the Young Master and the Young Lady.

The middle-aged man changed the subject and asked the young man in green shirt: "At this time, he secretly subsidized Liu An'er, and also sent people to help him train troops. If it becomes a climate for him, wouldn't it be a problem to raise tigers?"

"What about making him a climate?" The green-shirted youth laughed. "If the imperial court can be overthrown so easily, you and I, as well as the Dongmin man who has died in the past ten years, will accept their fate..."

The middle-aged man also smiled relievedly, he really thought too much, he said that although the hundred-legged worm is still dead, the basic order of the court and the opposition is still there, and the central control on the local is still strong. In terms of gathering people to rebel, how has Zhongzhou, Huaishang, Jinzhong, and Western Qin ever broken up in the past ten years? At its peak, there were as many poles as cattle feathers, and there were occasional people who seized the county. Tens of thousands of elite Qing bandits from East Fujian passed through the border, didn't they all hid in the deep mountains?

The young man in green shirt smiled again: "The most important thing right now is to dig out the foundation of the Yuan clan little by little and make it float, so that there is a chance for all the heroes in the world to compete." He is not sure that the luxury family has a great chance, but The imperial court is relieved, most of them will not tolerate the luxury family in Jin'an to become a self-contained one, but with the rise of heroes, the luxury family can protect itself no matter how bad it is.
