Lord of the House

Vol 5 Chapter 31: the wind has changed

The sky was cold and clear, the sea was blue, and the sentry ships were like shuttles. There were fast paddle boats on both sides to check. Lin Bing looked at the sentry ship that was approaching and asked to board the Dongyang. The appearance of the middle-aged man was slightly startled.

Lin Mengde was very surprised to see the appearance of the person who came, and said, "Why did he come here?"

Lin Tingxun's eldest son, Lin Xuwen, stayed in Beijing as an official after he was admitted to the jinshi examination in the late emperor's time. In the past ten years, Lin Xuwen has occasionally returned to his hometown to visit relatives. As a child of the clan, Lin Fu has almost no chance to contact him, and his impression of him is very weak. It's just that Lin Xuwen and his father, Lin Tingxun, seem to be printed in the same mold, with narrow eyes, thin face and pointed chin, and they have short beards like Lin Tingxun's chin.

Lin Fu and Lin Mengde never expected that Lin Xuwen would come to Jinhai.

Lin Xuwen climbed up from the rope ladder, Lin Fu stretched out his hand to help, still thinking about how to deal with it, Lin Xuwen grabbed the side of the boat with one hand and said with a smile, "Old father said when he was alive, that the generation of the Lin family will definitely make a big splash. Glorious character, Old Seventeen, you fought beautifully in the Cangnan two battles!"

"Compared to the eldest brother, Seventeen's achievements are far from enough." Lin Fu laughed, grabbed Lin Xuwen's arm, and pulled him to stand on the deck.

Lin Mengde looked at the young man in his thirties who came on the boat behind Lin Xuwen. He was also quite extraordinary, not like the entourage brought by Lin Xuwen, so he stretched out his hand to help him up, and asked with a smile, "How is this lord? call?"

"Don't dare to be, Yang Zhishan, the head of the Department of Military Affairs..." The young man was a little uncomfortable with the turbulence on the sea, so he stood still and said, and then turned around to see a middle-aged man with a feminine appearance, no lips, and a face as white as a girl. Someone came up and said, "This is Mr. Liu Zhiliu, the official of the Provincial Bureau of Internal Affairs..."

The time to come is finally here, Lin Fu thought to himself, and was busy meeting with Yang Zhishan, the head of the Ministry of War, and Liu Zhi, the **** and the minister of the provincial bureau.

*********

Lin Fudu sent messengers to the capital to report the victory after two victories with more than 1,000 rank.

The messenger who reported the victory for the first time had already rushed back from Yanjing and brought back some rewards from the imperial court.

Lin Fudao did not get promoted again, and was given a crimson official robe, a blue armor, and more than a hundred gold and silver coins. Lin Fu was only a seventh-rank superintendent at this time. According to the official uniforms, the color was cyan, and the red color was the color of the official clothes of officials of the fifth-rank and above. It was a kind of honor for the seventh-rank officials to give Fei. It was a kind of spiritual encouragement. It's a real promotion. But if Lin Fu was martyred in the war or became an official after the war, he could enjoy the political treatment of a fifth-rank official.

Zhao Qingshan, Ning Zechen, Cao Ziang, and Zhou Pu, the commanders of the four battalions, were all promoted to the rank of Deputy Lieutenant of the Eighth-Rank Xiaoqi; Lin Mengde was also specially awarded the Rulin Lang because of his military counselor, and officially obtained the status of an official.

These are just rewards for leading their army north to Yannan, and the Military Requisition Department of the Great Victory in Cangnan sent people to inspect and discuss it again.

No matter whether the undercurrent surging in the middle of the DPRK is the main battle or the main peace, especially when Lin Su led the Jiangdong Zuo Army northward to Yannan, it did not seem to affect the overall situation of the main battle or the main peace. This spirit of bravery and forging ahead It must be motivated, otherwise it will be impossible to speak to the court and the opposition.

Even the Chu Party needs to take Lin Xu out to resist the attack on them by the government and the opposition.

After the three palaces in Yannan made a mess for the invaders and Donglu, although those in power still had a heart to discuss peace, they could not stop the tendency of the court and the opposition to collapse.

The procedure for discussing merits in the Ministry of War is rather cumbersome. The channel from Gyeonggi to Cangnan has been blocked, and it is inconvenient for the Ministry of War to send officials over to check the achievements. This is also a completely reasonable excuse, but it is somewhat of a pressure to discuss and not to publicize. In the private letter that Tang Haoxin asked the messenger to bring, although he was very positive about Lin Fu's approach of leading the army northward, he also specifically instructed Lin Fu to "don't fight in waves, and don't let the victory of the Cangnan Victory be lost in one fell swoop".

At least in late December, when the victory of Cangnan was just won, the minds of those in power in the DPRK were still discussing peace. This is unmistakable.

If Lin Fu is a qualified politician, after the victory of Cangnan, he should retreat south to Linzi Prefecture to defend, and wait for the end of the war to enjoy the military exploits brought by the victory of Cangnan.

After Xiaobotouzhai won another great victory over annihilating thousands of people, Lin Mengde, Cao Zi'ang and others suggested to postpone the victory, and suggested that they beat them. Conflicts, not to mention the undercurrent of peace talks between the DPRK and China were directly promoted by the Chu Party. Repeatedly reporting victory, not only contradicts the discussion between the DPRK and the undercurrent, but also makes other Lu Qin Wang Shi face disgrace. It is good that they can continue to win. If they lose, they can attack these incompetent people together.

Lin Fu still defied the public opinion and continued to send messengers to Beijing to report victory. Although there are great political risks, but the same risks are accompanied by equally great opportunities. Lin Fu hopes that there will be fewer diligent kings from all walks of life. With some sense of shame, whether it is war or peace in the end, at least in the ongoing stage of war can be a little more positive.

Lin Fu not only sent messengers to Beijing to report the victory, but also resolutely lured the Hexiong Qi tribe to Jinhai to fight.

Lin Xuwen, Yang Zhishan, and Liu Zhi came to Jinhai together, and Lin Fu knew that the direction of the Chaozhong wind had finally changed.

This battle continues to this day, and the situation is becoming more and more obvious. This time the Donglu invaded the border and entered the bandit with the intention of looting, and its continuous combat capability in the hinterland of Yanji was also weakened by its constant casualties and attrition and the looting of ever-increasing wealth and people. Before the weather gets warmer, it will definitely Exit off.

In Yannan, the three prefectures have been crippled, most of Shandong's Pingyuan prefecture has fallen, and the captive cavalry is retreating. At this time, the Chu party openly stood up and advocated for peace, which is the biggest political immaturity.

*********

Yang Zhishan is the head of the Ministry of Military Affairs, and is of the sixth grade. He came here to inspect military merits on behalf of the Ministry of War; Liu Zhi, an internal minister, is the bureau chief of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Now the emperor has made Hao Zongcheng, the young supervisor of the internal servant, the director of the world's diligent division. Liu Zhi is afraid that he will come here. As the supervisor; Lin Fu just couldn't figure out what Lin Xuwen was doing here to join in the fun.

Lin Bie took Lin Xuwen's arm and asked with a smile, "Come from Gyeonggi, I'm afraid my eldest brother, Master Yang and Master Liu have suffered a lot. Come into the cabin and rest for a while..."

"Master Hao sent troops to cover our passage through Tongzhou, and then disguised himself as the messenger you sent to the capital to the north of Jinhai at night, and met your army's scout in the north, and came over on a sentry boat, saying that the hard work is a little hard, but it is more difficult than yours. It's not worth mentioning fighting against the cavalry in Yannan..." Lin Xuwen said happily.

Standing on the deck, Yang Zhishan looked around at the appearance of the Jiangdong Zuo Army around him, and asked with a cold face: "Dare to ask Mr. Lin, are the Jiangdong Zuo Army all here? The good news said that the Jiangdong Zuo Army's five battalions and 3,000 soldiers, these few ships. There seems to be a slight shortage of people on board."

Falsely reporting military merit is something that military generals will do.

When the Cangnan Victory was reported to the capital, the Jiangdong Zuo Army used 3,000 new soldiers to annihilate more than 1,000 of the enemy's elite in the field.

Lin Fu was a newcomer in the Chu Party, and Gu Wuchen made him lead the army alone. His gesture of marching northward into Yannan was as if a bright banner was erected in the wasteland where all the horses were in unison. Zhang Xie and Tang Haoxin also used the Jiangdong Zuo Army as the leader. As an excuse, to refute other factions' attacks on them secretly pushing for peace, the Ministry of War is inconvenient to refute it publicly, and it also suppresses the military merits of the Cangnan Victory, so as not to cause a big joke after the war.

The Chu party also prioritizes stability. They need to lead the army northward to relieve the political pressure. They are also afraid that Lin Fu will be too aggressive and become a handle for future attacks. They are also afraid of discussing the military merits of the Cangnan victory. The promotion of major events~www.wuxiaspot.com~ will stimulate other generals, so the military merits of the Cangnan Victory are not discussed when taking office.

It was already the ninth day of the first lunar month that Lin Fu sent messengers to the capital to report victory. At that time, most of the officials in the court and the emperor realized that the captive cavalry did not threaten the strength of the capital. No matter how timid and fearful officials are, they still have the good fortune that they can defeat the Donglu, especially as the situation gradually becomes clear, and the Donglu's determination to attack Jinan is firm. Abandon peace efforts.

As a result, the Chu Party needs the banner of Lin Fu and Jiangdong Zuojun even more to completely reverse the image of advocating peace in the early stage. Even Hao Shoucheng, the actual commander-in-chief of the Gyeonggi Guards and Zhuluqin Wang's division, is also cautiously looking for fighters. The main force of the northern line of Donglu Yeji Luorong formed pressure.

In this context, Zhang Xie, Tang Haoxin and others, and even the emperor personally inquired about the Ministry of War, and urged the Ministry of War to send personnel to Jinhai to contact the Jiangdong Zuo Army and discuss the military merits of the two victories to boost the morale of the entire army.

Yang Zhishan always had great doubts about the combat capability of the Jiangdong Zuo Army. At this time, he only saw that there were only hundreds of generals lined up on the shore. Although the ships on the left and right were huge, there were very few soldiers on the deck, and even three thousand soldiers were far away. Far from it, it made him suspect that Lin Fu's two victories were all false reports of military merit. Although the Chu Party was powerful in the DPRK, Lin Fu's daring and false declaration of military exploits also made Yang Zhishan very unhappy and could not help but question on the spot.

"Master Yang and Master Liu arrived at the right time. If you don't feel it's hard, please follow Lin Fu to the top of the cabin to watch the battle!" Lin Fu looked solemn, and reached out to invite Lin Xuwen, Yang Zhishan, and Liu Zhi to watch the battle on the top deck of the aft cabin.
