Lord of the House

The matter of levying additional rates was discussed with great enthusiasm for several days before a conclusion was reached.

Lin Fu focused all his attention on raising money for Huaidong Bank. During the discussion, he sat idly with his hands and focused on being a stuffy gourd. Even if he was named, he used the excuse of "younger knowledge" and other excuses to perfunctory. . In the last two days, Suo Xing Tuo was sick and hid in the thatched cottage in Hekou. He secretly met with Ye Kai, Xiao Mi and other representatives of the Dongyang Township Party to discuss the matter of Huaidong Bank.

It was discussed how to levy extra salaries, and when Chen Zhihu sent messengers over, it was necessary to discuss how to organize the war between Henan and eastern Zhejiang.

When discussing matters such as levying salaries, King Ning, Yue Lengqiu, Dong Yuan and others can ignore Huaidong's opinions, but no one can ignore Huaidong's role in restraining luxury families on the east line, let alone last year's The Huaidong Army laid the cornerstone of the Huai Si victory.

Without the cooperation of Huaidong, it would be extremely difficult to play a red jacket girl in the north or a luxury home in the south.

Lin Futuo didn't get sick, and even sent people to request to return to Huaidong to recuperate first. King Ning, Yue Lengqiu, Dong Yuan and others found it difficult, so they could only send people out of the city to greet the disease again and again.

After procrastinating for three or four days, Lin Fu also took it as soon as he saw it. He dyed his face yellow with **** juice, and was very ill. He dragged a "sick body" to attend the discussion in Prince Ning's mansion.

At this time, the local officials who participated in the discussion of "imposing additional rates" all left Jiangning one after another and stayed in Jiangning, including Dong Yuan, Deng Yu, Liu Tingzhou, Zhang Yubo, and a few others.

At this time, Ma Zhen, who came to Jiangning in place of Chen Hansan, was also invited to participate in the discussion; after being apart for nearly a year, Lin Fu saw Tao Chun again in Jiangning.

During the Huaisi War, Tao Chun was born and died for Yue Lengqiu, and naturally he was rewarded. At this time, he served as the commander of the Changhuai Army, replacing Yue Lengqiu in Haozhou to directly control the Changhuai Army.

Lin Fu saw that Yue Lengqiu also summoned Tao Chun to Jiangning to participate in this discussion this time. He thought that Yue Lengqiu would try his best to cultivate this former general of Li Zhuo, who had drawn him over and was loyal to him.

Chen Zhihu had already led his troops to Xuchang, and it was his deputy Gao Yi who came to Jiangning to discuss matters on his behalf. When Ao Canghai was the deputy commander of the Qianfeng Battalion under Chen Zhihu, Gao Yi served as the commander, and he was also one of the generals who stood out in the ten-year East Fujian war.

When Chen Zhihu led his troops northward, Cang Aohai led his troops to escape, which was a serious crime at the time. However, with the help of Li Zhuo, Gao Zongting and others to mediate, the matter of Ao Canghai can no longer be regarded as a grudge on both sides.

Gao Yi saw Lin Fu dragging his "sick body" into the inner hall to discuss matters, and while greeting him, he also asked about Ao Canghai's current situation.

Gao Yi sat next to Lin Fu, and it was convenient for them to talk to each other; even though Lin Fu saw Gao Yi for the first time, he felt cordial.

Gao Yi and Tao Chun were also old acquaintances. Although they were sitting next to each other this time, they were like strangers. Not to mention greetings, Gao Yi didn't even look at Tao Chun.

Back in Jinan, if it wasn't for Tao Chun, Yue Lengqiu would not have been able to take away so many soldiers and horses from Lu Jingyan's command, and the Battle of Jinan might have ended differently.

Lin Fu thought to himself: Yue Lengqiu was able to use Tao Chun so reassuringly, probably because he saw Tao Chun's betrayal and separation, and there was no other choice except to follow him all the way to the dark.

Gao Yi's attitude towards Dong Yuan is also indifferent, probably because Dong Yuan is so close to officials of Zhang and Yue's lineage, and he is dissatisfied.

Lin Bie sighed with emotion:

Whether it was Lu Jingyan who died in Jinan, or Yu Wangao who was struggling to support the south, or Dong Yuan who presided over the war in northern Zhejiang, or Chen Zhihu, who stood up to Datong and resisted the Donglu iron cavalry, and led his troops southward at this time, or Tao Chun, Gao Yi, Ao Canghai and others, these generals from Li Zhuo's family may have various flaws, but it cannot be denied that they are all first-class generals in the world.

Zhang Xie, Yue Lengqiu and others have made the biggest "contribution" over the years, probably by dismantling the talents of these generals from Li Zhuo's command. Although it has eliminated the possibility of Li Zhuo learning to be a hero in Wenzhuang, it has also completely disbanded the last elite division that was loyal to the Yuan clan.

This time, Chen Zhihu led his troops to attack the red jacket girl with the cooperation of the Changhuai army. Although Tao Chun is brave and resourceful, he is very scheming and selfish. The disagreement between Gao Yi and Tao Chun is really not a good thing.

With such a hidden danger, Lin Fu was even more worried that the war in Henan would not be as optimistic as everyone in the hall expected.

Everyone in the hall, of course, does not want to bear the pressure of fighting on two fronts. At the same time, it is also obvious that the She family could not let Jiangdong calmly gather troops to clean up the situation in Huaibei and Henan, and honestly did not make any moves on the southern front.

The imperial court's control over Guangnan has always been weak, and Guangnan County is still under the imperial court's jurisdiction in name, but it is more important to establish its own portal and wait and see. Yu Wangao retreated into the Jieyang area, and received extremely limited support from Guangnan County, so his restraint on the luxury family in the south was limited.

It has been nearly two years since the luxury family captured Mingzhou. Southern Zhejiang and western Zhejiang, including southern Jiangxi, have fallen into the hands of the luxury family. The ability to organize large-scale campaigns.

Everyone in the hall hoped that while cleaning up the situation in Huaibei and Henan, Dong Yuan could establish a more stable line of defense in northern Zhejiang and Deng Yu in southern Hui. Of course, at this time, it is even more necessary to consider the role of the Huaidong Military Division in the Shensi Islands to contain eastern Zhejiang.

"Is it possible for Huaidong to use troops against Daishan and Changguo after the autumn?" Lin Fu missed the first three days of military discussions, leaving Huaidong unresolved. As soon as the military discussion began, Yue Lengshan directly pointed his spearhead. Pointing to Huaidong, straight to the point, he kicked the problem to Lin Fu.

"Cough, cough..." Lin Fuan covered his mouth and coughed with the silk handkerchief embroidered with exquisite patterns for a long time. He felt that the **** silk handkerchief was a bit fake at this time, so he held the handkerchief in his hand. He said in a hoarse voice, "The She family has more than 20,000 elites in Changguo and Mingzhou Prefecture, and Huaidong is barely able to gain a firm foothold in the Shengsi Islands, but thanks to the support of Haiyu and other counties, it is necessary to turn the defensive into the offensive. It's not easy to do it. Even if you draw out the troops guarding Shanyang, Shukou, and Siyang, you will still be too weak..."

After coughing for a while, Lin Fu continued: "Of course, the imperial court treats me very seriously. I should do my best for the imperial court and die. I am lying on the sick bed, and I also plan from time to time to recover Daishan and Changguo for the imperial court. I drafted a statement, and I wanted to entrust the family Yue to present it to His Royal Highness King Ning and the Governor of Yue..."

"Oh!" Yue Lengqiu was also slightly surprised, and looked at King Ning and Zhang Xitong who was standing beside King Ning. They only hoped that Huaidong would use troops harassingly in the area of ​​Daishan and Changguo, so as to contain some of the forces of the She family in eastern Zhejiang. Unexpectedly, Lin Fu had plans to recover Daishan and Changguo.

The use of harassing troops is completely different from the use of troops for the purpose of occupation, and the troops and resources invested are not the same.

Everyone in the hall knew about military affairs. After the She family borrowed the strategy of abandoning the land and going to the sea, they also had a new understanding of the meaning of the sea.

As long as Huaidong can capture Daishan and Changguo, the Huaidong Navy can directly threaten Mingzhou Prefecture, Jin'an Prefecture, and the southern part of Zhejiang between Mingzhou and Jinan Prefecture, and can force the She family to drag the elites in Along the east coast of Mingzhou Prefecture, Jinan Prefecture and other places. As a result, the deployment of the She family's troops on the western front will be greatly weakened, and the situation of the war in the southeast will be completely changed.

"Xiaguan has drawn up a statement, and asked someone to copy a few copies. Please ask King Ning and the princes to see if it is feasible..." Lin Fu took out a stack of battle plans from his arms, and asked the **** standing beside him to submit it. To King Ning and everyone present.

Lin Bie's plan was to delay until next spring or even next autumn, and then use the Shengsi defense line as a base to use troops on the front lines of Daishan and Changguo. At that time, the sea wall will be largely completed, Huaidong will have greater protection in terms of materials, and the labor battalion will get rid of the heavy construction work, which will provide Huaidong with sufficient troops.

By that time, Huaidong's foundation has gradually deepened, and even if there is occasional defeat in the war, it will not shake the foundation.

It's just that at this time, it is necessary to protect Haiyu Chen's family, make Haiyu County a buffer zone between Huaidong and Dongyuan, and also use this to alienate the relationship between Wu Dangshi and King Ning and Yue Lengqiu. Lin Fu can only The timing of deploying troops to Daishan and Changguo will be advanced to the end of this autumn.

The area occupied by Pingjiang Prefecture is almost double that of Hailing Prefecture, with more than 12 million mu of registered fields. It is mainly located in the east of Taihu Lake, and its development level is much higher than that of the Hudang Plain in Huaidong. Over the years, the taxes paid by Pingjiang Prefecture are far higher than those of the Jianghuai Prefectures on the north bank of the Yangtze River, and even one-third higher than that of Jiangning Prefecture.

For nearly a hundred years, there have been voices in the court and the opposition to set aside the eastern counties of Pingjiang Prefecture to establish a new prefecture, but the resistance was too great and it has not been successful.

Lin Fu naturally refused to let Dong Yuan comfortably occupy such a plentiful place; the Chen family all asked to come to the door, how could Lin Fu not push the boat along the way? Otherwise, Huaidong is really easy to bully!

Seeing Lin Bie in the use of soldiers and mentioning that the Haiyu Township Battalion Association should send troops to attack Daishan, Dong Yuan's face suddenly sank.

Among the counties in Pingjiang Prefecture, Haiyu County has the largest area. When Yudong established a palace, the Chen family and other local tycoons secretly invaded thousands of hectares of fertile soil on the east bank of the Dongjiang River.

There are 20,000 to 30,000 households in the central and western regions, and it is considered a first-class county; only the Jianghuai Plain, where the land is fertile and the same size of land, can support twice as many households, so it becomes the wealth of the imperial court. core zone.

The number of registered fields in Haiyu County is as high as 1.6 million mu. If you really want to make up your mind to check the fields, it is possible to double the taxable fields in Haiyu County.

Lin Fu's new policy in Chongzhou increased tax land by more than 50%, and after eliminating miscellaneous donations and apportionment, the income of the county treasury more than doubled. The effect of the New Deal is so obvious that Zhang Yubo could see that Yue Lengqiu, Dong Yuan and others could be indifferent?

Of course, it is too difficult to fully implement the New Deal, but it is not without other means.

Lin Fu's case of borrowing smuggled salt uprooted the Ma family's influence in Shanyang, and by the way swept away the forces in other places in Shanyang~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Liang Wenzhan's resistance to inspecting fields in Shanyang was greatly reduced; In the past year, the number of public land under the jurisdiction of Shanyang County has almost increased from zero to more than 100,000 mu, and the taxable land has also increased by nearly 20%. It provided great material support for the Huaidong Army to build Shukou and Siyang military fortresses on the north bank of the Huai River.

Not to mention Dong Yuan and Yue Lengqiu, Liu Tingzhou could guess that the Haiyu Chen family had been in contact with Lin Fu when he saw the military stick Chen brought out by Lin Fu.

To agree with Huaidong's plan to send troops to Daishan and Changguo, it is necessary to agree that Haiyu Township Camp accepts the double restraint of the Zhebei and Huaidong military divisions. In a short period of time, Dong Yuan naturally could not incorporate Haiyu Township Camp, and Haiyu Township Camp would maintain a relatively independent status.

Liu Tingzhou doesn't need to look at Yu Xinyuan's face. This matter is not just a transaction between Haiyu and Huaidong. This matter is of great benefit to strengthening the status of Wu Party. Yu Xinyuan will not support it if he takes the wrong medicine. .

Whether it is the Dongyang clan or the Ning Wang clan, they directly control the elite combat power. Only the Wu Party has no relatively independent combat power, and will only be in a more and more disadvantageous position in the future.

Originally, this time Pingjiang Prefecture was placed under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Envoys of the Northern Zhejiang System, and Wu Dang suffered an indescribable loss. At this time, there is a chance to fight back, and if you can regain some disadvantages, Wu Dang is still not enough to keep up?

Not to mention Yu Xinyuan, Wang Tian and Wang Xueshan may have subtle changes in their attitudes.

Liu Tingzhou sighed in his heart: When will the party struggle be over? At this time, Lin Bie threw out this military plan, but it only made the rift between the factions more vivid and dazzling.

Lin Fu was soft and easy to bully before. King Ning, Yue Lengqiu, Zhang Xi and others probably didn't expect him to throw out this trump card at this time that directly divides the relationship between King Ning's family and Wu Dang?
