Lord of the House

The news that Lin Fu secretly sneaked to Jinhai and was in Jinwei Island soon spread in Jinhai.

It had only been three years since the last catastrophe. In such a short period of time, the pain could not be easily forgotten. The captives stepped into the land of Yannan again. Some people harbored hatred in their hearts and wanted to resent their former hatred, but the vast majority of the people fell into panic and panic and were at a loss.

As early as the 13th, Lin Xuwen signed the order to clear the walls and clear the fields, and diverted the people to take refuge in Jinhai. However, in the impression of the world, Jinhai is an isolated city with no way out. If you want to escape, you should flee south to Shandong or flee north to Beijing for refuge.

However, after the news that Lin Fu went to Jinhai spread, most people felt that Jinhai was not necessarily safer than the capital.

However, there are still many people flocking to the capital. In the impression of ordinary people, the Jingying army with 80,000 troops should be of some use.

In particular, the Jizhen Army frequently reported its field victory in western Liaoning, and even Emperor Chongguan did not think that the Jingying army that spent huge amounts of food and grass every year would not be of any use at all.

The captive cavalry re-entered Yannan from Jingxing, and the offensive was very urgent, like a thunderbolt, and the place was difficult to contain. In three or five days, several cities in southwestern Hebei were lost. The sacred edict to mobilize the Xuanfu army to enter the customs has been issued, but the messenger sent the decree in the past, but it will take more than ten days to wait for the Xuanfu army to gather and enter the customs.

Anyone with a little military knowledge would be worried that the main force of the captives who re-entered Yannan would be interspersed in the direction of Jizhou. At that time, the entire back road of the Jizhen army entering western Liaoning will be blocked. Even if the court princes, including Emperor Chongguan himself, do not believe that the Donghu people who stayed in Liaoyang have the ability to eat the Jibei army, but if the 20,000 cavalry who entered Yannan smashed Jizhou, and then bypassed the Linyu Pass Entering the back road of the Fengji town army in western Liaoning, the main force of the Ji town army who entered western Liaoning in advance is really dangerous.

On the 16th, which was also the same day Lin Fu arrived at Jinwei, the imperial court could not wait for the Xuanfu army to enter the customs, and urgently dispatched the left and right Weiwei troops stationed on the north bank of the Juma River, also known as the Jingnan Camp, and sent 20,000 troops to the south to defend against the enemy.

On the 18th, the Jingnan Great Camp went south to the southeast of Xushui County, and hurriedly engaged in battle, and was defeated in the first battle. More than 10,000 cavalry in the east interspersed with slaughter wantonly, and when Xushui county accepted the defeated troops, it also took the opportunity to capture the cavalry who were chasing after it. Countless soldiers threw away their helmets and armor, but I don't know how many people escaped in the dark, and how many were slaughtered on the spot. The fact that the 20,000 Jingnan Army was completely destroyed in two days was undoubtedly a blow to Emperor Chongguan and his court officials.

The area under the control of the cavalry quickly expanded. By the 20th, the number of captured cities in the western Hebei had increased to nine, and officials from two counties offered the cities to surrender.

The rapidly deteriorating situation in Yannan and the weak reality of the Jingying army finally made Emperor Chongguan and his court officials lose some illusions.

On the 21st, Jingzhong finally made up his mind and decided to pass an edict ordering Jizhen's army to withdraw from western Liaoning and return to Beijing to aid Jingji; accepting Lin Fu's advice, Liu Tingzhou was appointed as Huaisi's envoy, and Li Wei was appointed as Huaisi's deputy envoy. Recruited and surrendered the red jacket rebels to be used by the imperial court; summoned Chen Zhihu to lead his troops to Beijing to assist in defense; appointed Lin Fu as the assistant defense envoy of Jinhai, and added the rank of third-grade silver-blue Guanglu doctor, named Chongzhou Bo, and summoned five thousand horsemen of the Huaidong Army. Entered King Qin of Yannan.

Due to the blocking of Xin Road in the west of Hebei and Jinzhong, in addition to the edict sent to the west of Liaoning, almost all other imperial decrees had to travel south from Jinhai to the world.

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

The court trusted Chen Zhihu and Liu Tingzhou more, and entrusted Liu Tingzhou with recruiting and security, and called Chen Zhihu to lead the troops to Beijing to assist in defense, and only let Huaidong Army cavalry enter Jinhai to assist in defense.

Of course, the court did not hold Lin Fu accountable for going north without authorization, and even awarded him a lot of rewards. In addition to the title of Chongzhou Bo and the title of Doctor Qingguanglu with silver, gold and silver coins, silver for meritorious deeds, bullfighting python robes, pearls and jades, etc., have all been rewarded a lot.

According to the court's current opinion, Jinhai's side still uses a static brake to defend Jinhai and Hejian Prefecture; the defense and war defense of Jinhai will be handled by Huang Jinnian, Lin Xuwen, and Lin Fu through negotiation. The court also gave awards to Lin Xuwen and Huang Jinnian. Lin Xuwen also awarded him the title of Doctor of the Third Grade Silver Qingguanglu, but he had no military merit and no title.

"The minister leads the order!"

Lin Fu supported his knees, stood up in front of the incense table, and took the edict of the jade axis cloud pattern from the official of the Chuanzhi Bureau, but he was very indignant: in the edict to him, to Lin Xuwen, and to Huang Jinnian, all of them were sent to him. There was no mention of what to do with Li Zhuo - in his note to the imperial court, he suggested that Li Zhuo come to Jinhai to preside over the defense of the eastern region of Hebei (Baozhihejian and Jizhou). It means that the court did not hesitate to reward him, and shelved Li Zhuo's question - his advice was like a rock, and there was no response at all.

The ministers of the interior minister had to take a boat from Jinhai to Shandong, and then landed in Dengzhou and then changed horses to go to Huai'an, Henan, Jiangning and other places to pass the edict. Huang Jinnian was very good at being a man. Although the bureau chief was only a seventh-rank official, he often walked by the emperor's side and had a lot of influence. Huang Jinnian personally sent him to the pier to take a boat.

Lin Xuwen held a jade-shaped cloud pattern in his hand, and said to Lin Fu: "I don't know if the Jizhen army can successfully withdraw from western Liaoning, even if it can withdraw half of its troops and return, the situation in Gyeonggi will be restored. Opportunity……"

"It's a ghost if you can withdraw!" Lin Fu said indignantly.

In the absence of Huang Jinnian and others, Lin Fu didn't have so much scruples when he spoke. He immediately drafted a military order on the incense note and handed it to the guard beside him, asking him to take a boat to Qingzhou to give orders, and asking Zhou Pu to immediately lead 2,000 elite horses to Jinhai to participate in the battle.

Lin Xuwen was puzzled, waved his hand to let the surrounding people go away, and asked in a low voice: "Since you have no hope for the Jizhen army, why did you let the Huaidong army fall in? As long as the back road is not cut off, abandon the river. In the cities of Jian, Cangzhou, etc., the Tianjin navy can still be sure of defending the Jinhai.”

"The destruction of the Jizhen army does not mean that Yanjing can't hold it," Lin Fu said, "This time the Donghu people are determined to eat the Jizhen army, but as long as Hao Zongcheng doesn't make too many mistakes, the Donghu people will eat Jizhen. At the same time as the army, at least a few big teeth must be broken, so they will not be able to conquer Yanjing this time... The court still sent some fantasies to Hao Zongcheng. I sent it to the door, they were embarrassed to completely refuse, except In addition, the court moved Chen Zhihu to lead his troops northward from the south—how the situation develops depends on Western Liaoning!"

At this time Wu Qi came over and said, "Mr. Gao has come to Jinhai!"

"Where?" Lin Bie asked. Li Zhuo knew the news of his coming to Jinhai in Beijing and sent Gao Zongting over, which is not surprising. Lin Fu has been waiting for Gao Zongting to come over these days.

"I just delivered the news when I arrived on the other side," Wu Qi said. "How about I send a boat to pick him up immediately?"

"No, let's go by boat," Lin Fu said, "Just look at the defense of Jinhai City..."

The title of Jinhai Assistant Defense Envoy can be lost. The biggest advantage is that Lin Fu can land on the land of Jinhai in a grand manner, and he does not have to hide on Jinwei Island secretly.

When they arrived at the pier, Huang Jinnian just sent off the official of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications, and went to Jinhai City by boat together.

Lin Fu has been paying attention to the situation of Jinhai City at all times in Jinwei Island these days, but only by seeing it with his own eyes can he deeply feel the chaos in Jinhai at this time.

Lin Fu was accompanied by Lin Xuwen and climbed to the top of the main city wall of Jinhai to see the city defense.

Jinhai City consists of the main city and the outer fortresses. The main city was rebuilt from the former Wukou Village. The area is narrow. Most of the households live in the open space between the main city and the outer fortresses. Large numbers of refugees are crowded in these areas.

At this time, he couldn't take care of the cold weather outside, and was organizing people to urgently build a simple moat on the periphery to connect the outer fortresses into one. It was a bit late to do these tasks until this time, but it was impossible for the imperial court to allow Lin Xuwen to build a city in Jinhai that could accommodate 300,000 to 400,000 people.

Soon, Wu Qi directly led Gao Zongting to the head of the city to see Lin Fu.

Gao Zongting wore an old gray fur to ward off the cold. He was less than forty years old and looked like a half-hundred-year-old man, and Geng Quanshan came with him.

"I made a statement to the imperial court regarding Li's military affairs, but the court ignored him..." Lin Fu said, "Maybe when the situation deteriorates further, things may turn around..."

"Knowing mistakes can be corrected~www.wuxiaspot.com~ It's great! How many people in the world can do this?" Gao Zongting smiled bitterly. He didn't think there would be any turning point in this matter, and he also knew that Lin Bing would not He should think that there will be a turning point in this matter, so saying that is just to comfort them, and then ask him the purpose of coming to Jinhai, "I didn't expect you to go back to Jinhai, nor did the commander-in-chief think so, but also specially Let me ask..."

"Jinhai can't fall." Lin Fu said.

Gao Zongting frowned slightly and turned his head to look down at the city. Lin Fu's answer was doubtful, but he didn't ask the question to the bottom of it, and there was no need for Lin Fu to tell him Huaidong's plan.

Lin Fu pretended not to see the doubts on Gao Zongting's face, and said: "It's not easy to defend the Jinhai - if Hao Zongcheng can't consume the strength of the Donghu people in western Liaoning, the Donghu people are afraid that 200,000 troops will flood in after March. At that time, Datong and Xuanfu will be alone. They will use elite cavalry to peep at Yanjing and gather infantry to attack Jinhai; ——Zongting, Quanshan, you stand here, and you can see that the situation in Jinhai is not easy to be optimistic, can you please contribute to guarding Jinhai?"

Gao Zongting didn't think that Lin Fu would simply ask them to stay in Jinhai, but he was slightly startled.

Lin Xuwen knew that Lin Fu also valued Gao Zongting, and after hearing Lin Fu's invitation, he also bowed to Gao Zongting: "Also ask Mr. Gao and Colonel Geng to help me, don't let the hundreds of thousands of people's lives in Hejian be ruined! "

Sun Shangwang persuaded: "Mr. Gao and Colonel Geng have meritorious deeds in guarding Jinhai, and it is also good for the situation of Li Bingbu!"

Gao Zongting sighed slightly, and said, "With my meager power, I will not be disliked by the two adults, Zongting is very grateful..." My QT room is open! More vulgar official QT room number [9167] Click to enter
