Lord of the House

Qin Zitan climbed the Jianshan outpost with the luxury flying tiger. The harassing Huaidong military ships were slowly exiting Sansha Bay from the Dongchongkou. Looking left and right, there was a piece of wreckage. The air was filled with the smell of burning and burning, and the beach was full of To the remains of the sunk and burned fishing boats.

Although he had expected this, She Feihu still roared in hatred, and stabbed the earth wall of the outpost with his saber.

Qin Zitan's face was equally ugly, and he remained silent without saying a word. It was more than 100 miles from Jin'an City. After confirming that the main force of Huaidongnan's attack had landed in Sansha Bay, he accompanied She Feihu and led the elite Xingye to help, and he was on the way. Wasted more than a day.

The three thousand infantrymen rushed to the aid of a hundred miles, but they were also a little exhausted, and the Huaidong Army had no intention of a decisive battle. In the past day and night, almost all of the eight towns and ports along the Sansha Bay were disabled.

"Second Young Master, look at this!" A colonel took down a few notices posted by the Huaidong Army all over the Sansha Bay and showed them to She Feihu.

She Feihu was fine if he didn't look at it, but when he saw it, he was even more furious. He tore the notice to pieces and smashed the captain's face: "Don't send someone to tear up all these things?" Qin Zitan didn't have time to read what the notice said. , I don't think there will be anything good to say.

"Several clans in the towns were attacked by the Huaidong bandit army. When the bandits left, they opened the clan's granary and let the villagers take it for themselves; other goods that could not be taken with them were also distributed to the poor settlements in the town. The villagers rushed to the town when they heard the news, and they drove them away... These clans all hope that the second son can help them take the lead and get food and goods back from the villagers and the broken households in the town!" The school captain continued.

"They're all rioters, arrest the ones who took the lead in making troubles, arrest them for the crime of collaborating with the enemy, chop off a few heads, and they'll know how to restrain themselves!" She Feihu said bitterly.

"Second son, just drive them away; those who don't obey, arrest three or five people and kill one as an example, it is not appropriate to expand arbitrarily!" Qin Zitan said.

Judging from the attacks on Pingtanbao, Dong'an Island and Sanshawan, the Huaidong Army showed no mercy when looting wealthy households and Zongshen, but at the same time they would distribute the looted rice and grain to villagers and poor households with malicious intent. . Qin Zitan believed that Jin An should give priority to the stability of the situation. If the squires and wealthy households were to recover the scattered rice, grain and goods from the villagers and poor households, it would undoubtedly cause more uncontrollable chaos.

She Feihu sighed softly, ignoring Qin Zitan's advice, and only instructing the captain: "As long as the Zong family can identify someone, they will be forced to bring them back, how can there be no law?"

Qin Zitan sighed in his heart and said nothing.

The luxury family may have to pay more attention to the interests of Zongshen in order to stabilize the rule of the Governor's Office in Zhejiang and Fujian, but who can guarantee that the rich and Zongshen will not make up for the loss from the poor?

Sansha Bay, Pingtan Island, and Dong'an Island were labeled like this. The wealthy households and Zongshen were the first targets of the Huaidong Army. Unless the wealthy households and Zongshen can sacrifice the interests of the coastal areas and move inward, the calls for the Eastern Zhejiang Navy to fight will become more and more intense. The Governor decided not to fight, the pressure will be very great, and I just hope that the western front can make a breakthrough soon.

She Feihu went to Jianjiang, Qin Zitan went to Zhangwan Town in the north, and when she arrived in the town, she saw what was written in the Huaidong notice that She Feihu had torn to shreds.

The notices posted by the Huaidong Army listed She, Song, Hu, Wen, Deng and other families as war criminals, falsely accusing the She, Song and other clans of conspiracy and rebellion, invading the villages, looting tens of thousands of gold and silver wealth, but making more than ten in East Fujian. Over the years, about 200,000 to 300,000 strong people have died or been disabled. The people are living in embarrassment, selling their children and selling their daughters. They have offered a reward of 100,000 taels of silver and invited all the heroic villagers to attack them!

In the name of the imperial court, the notice also exempted the five-year Ding tax from the sixty-six counties in the seven prefectures of East Fujian, and ordered all landowners in East Fujian to exempt the tenants from the five-year land rent.

These notices are well-printed. It is believed that the Huaidong Army printed a large number of them in Chongzhou and carried them on the ship. They came to East Fujian and distributed widely, confusing the people. Maybe it won't have any effect, maybe it will make people unstable. Qin Zitan just asked people to tear down all these notices and burn them, not to let them spread.

In the afternoon, a letter was sent back from the front, saying that the Huaidong army fleet outside Dongchongkou had been stationed in the outer sea for a long time, and then set sail to the east.

Qin Zitan was surprised. He broke his arm and was inconvenient to ride a horse. He took a carriage to Jianjiang to go to Feihu. It happened that Hu Zongguo, the chief historian, also came to inspect Sansha Bay after being attacked.

The Hu family had several properties in Sanshawan, which were completely destroyed. According to the Hu family Wuwei who was defending the resistance, 67 people were killed, and the Hu family children who were in charge here also died nine people. Including those captured and taken away, the Hu family lost nearly 140 or 50 men at one time. Perhaps some have fled into the countryside and have not returned for a while.

What is more worrying than the loss for oneself is not knowing where the next target of the Huaidong Army will be?

"Maybe it's southern Zhejiang!" Qin Zitan said.

"Why does Zi Tan judge that the Huaidong bandits will attack southern Zhejiang?" Hu Zongguo asked with an ugly face.

"Huaidong can't just conclude that we will not send the Zhedong navy to attack. Although the Huaidong navy's warships are strong, the overall strength is still insufficient. The southern raiding fleet will not stay in Jin'an for too long. It is an inevitable move to close the north," Qin Zitan said, "this is one of them. The other is that the Huaidong raiding fleet went east by the wind, and it should have entered the black water ocean. Shortcut to the North!"

"What Zi Tan said makes sense." Hu Zongguo said.

"When you immediately report to the Great Governor, you need to transfer an elite team to the south of Zhejiang!" Qin Zitan said.

She Feihu and Hu Zongguo immediately understood why Qin Zitan suggested this, and their expressions changed at the same time.

Xiapu, Jiaocheng, Luoyuan and other counties are all core areas under the rule of the Governor's Office of Zhejiang and Fujian. Even if the Huaidong Army rushes to seize the city, the Huaidong Army has no chance to gain a firm foothold in the city. The southern route is mostly harassment and destruction.

On the coast of southern Zhejiang, the situation is quite different.

It took only a year and a half for the luxury family to completely capture southern Zhejiang, and their rule was far from stable. The people of southern Zhejiang, even including many squires and wealthy families, succumbed to power and accepted the rule of the extravagant family on the surface, but they still turned to the Yuan Dynasty in their hearts.

The She family wanted to make a breakthrough on the western front, and could only plunder resources from the newly occupied land, and forced Ding Yong to join the army, which also exacerbated the conflict with the local forces in southern Zhejiang. The She family stationed heavy troops in eastern and western Zhejiang, and southern Zhejiang was an inside line. From a traditional point of view, there would not be much trouble in southern Zhejiang, so there were very few troops stationed.

Among the three prefectures in southern Zhejiang, the luxury family only directly stationed troops in the prefectures and a few key county towns. From Mingzhou Prefecture to the south, there are twelve counties along the coast of southern Zhejiang. There are only four cities directly garrisoned by the governor’s office in eastern Zhejiang. The other eight counties have only appointed officials, and the county soldiers are all recruited by former swordsmen and archers.

Once the Huaidong Army has landed on a large scale in southern Zhejiang, the situation in southern Zhejiang is really hard to say. Even now, there are some places in Yandang Mountain and Kuocang Mountain that dare not surrender to the extravagant family.

Qin Zitan frowned. When Zhejiang and Fujian were tyrannical, they swept away the ambitions of Jiangnan. When the Huaidong Army came out strongly, he discovered that the heart of the heart was full of flaws. Under the current situation, the Zhejiang and Fujian naval divisions have no ability to fight back.

Of course, although the situation in Zhejiang and Fujian is dangerous and passive, we must grit our teeth and focus on the western front. As long as a breakthrough can be made on the western front and Huaidong is threatened from the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, Huaidong's tentacles will not dare to stretch out so long.

Besides, this year, the Yanbei Defense Line might have a good show to watch...

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

After the southbound fleet entered the Heishuiyang, they reeled their sails and sailed northward by the current. At about midnight, they turned back out of the Heishuiyang and traveled westward by the north wind.

Chen Zhuo had two arrow wounds on his shoulders, both of which were shot from the gaps of the armor plates. They penetrated deep into the flesh and almost injured the bones. He was asked to recover from his injuries, so he boarded Zhang Gou's boat.

Tossed with pain until late at night, feeling that the fleet suddenly turned, Chen Zhe asked in amazement, "I can't see anything that can be compared when I open my eyes, who knows where it's going? , will you just arrive at Nanjishan Island?"

"Let you learn astrology, if you don't learn it, then it's not your turn to worry about it. It's only thirty or forty miles away, and it's okay to do the calibration when you see the land in the morning..." Zhang Gou fixed it on the table. The oil lamp on the top looked at the map and answered Chen Zhe's doubts.

After being stranded in the sea off Jin'an for three days, the Nan raiding fleet returned this time~www.wuxiaspot.com~ to attack southern Zhejiang.

Zhang Gou also didn't know that Qin Zitan and the governor's office of Zhejiang and Fujian had expected this. In fact, they didn't care about it.

The hills and ravines in southern Zhejiang are high and deep. In addition to taking the sea route, the infantry moves very fast by land. From the map, the straight-line distance of fifty or sixty miles may take four or five days to reach the infantry.

The She family had no time to react at all, and it was even too late to dispatch troops; I was afraid that the She family would not be able to spread the news of the attack on the east coast of Fujian to Mingzhou or western Zhejiang by this time. Needless to say, the land road is slow. At this time, the north wind is strong, and the fleets of Zhejiang and Fujian cannot go to the open sea and take advantage of the current of the Black Water Ocean to go north. When approaching the sea and heading north against the wind, the speed of the ship will also be very slow.

This time, the southern raiding fleet mainly harassed the coastal area of ​​eastern Fujian, and had no intention of sieging cities and capturing land, but in southern Zhejiang, it would be more meaningful to have the opportunity to fight one or two cities.

Thinking about it seriously, it is not accidental that the She family was caught off guard and fell into a passive state this time.

Almost everyone in the world confines their thinking to the traditional defense line, and the luxury family is no exception.

In eastern Zhejiang, the Zhejiang-Fujian rebels gathered almost the most elite naval forces to form an eastern line of defense with Mingzhou Prefecture as the core, and confronted the Shengsi line of defense in Huaidong, thinking that with this line of defense, they could protect the hinterland. Safety.

Although the Nantai Island navy who stayed in Jin'an had 6,000 troops, the warships were mainly deployed to guard against the river, mainly to defend the mouth of the Minjiang River and protect Jin'an City from being threatened. The main Jinghai third water battalion is comparable, and there is no strength at all to compete with the Jinghai first water battalion and the second water battalion at sea.

The defense line established by the Zhejiang and Fujian rebels in the sea off the Mingzhou Prefecture did not pose much threat to the hinterland of Huaidong. My QT room is open! More vulgar official QT room number [9167] Click to enter
