Lord of the House

In the early morning, the sea was windy again, and it was impossible to cross the sea to Changguo Island for a while.

In Haiyanmenshan Port, when he saw dozens of fishing boats parked in the harbor to avoid the wind and waves, Chu Zheng felt that the prosperity of fishing in Jiaxing Prefecture was rare in the north, and when he entered the port, he realized that what he saw yesterday was nothing. Little witch.

In the harbour of the Yongjiang Estuary, in addition to the warships of Jinghaihai Camp and many cargo sailboats, there are as many as four or five hundred fishing boats entering the port to avoid the wind and waves. masted fishing boat.

The "Lin Zhengjun" entered the port of Chankou to take shelter from the wind, and hurried Meng Xinshi, the imperial censor of Zuoyao, to Mingzhou, and wanted to cross the sea to see Lin Fu. It is far better to take the "Lin Zhengjun" to cross the sea by an official boat, accompanied by Ye Junan to come to Jikou first, meet with Gao Zongting, wait for the wind and waves to calm down, and then cross the sea to Changguo to see Lin Fu.

Chen Zhihu attacked Leling, and then Yan Hu's troops in Yannan launched Xiangyang's credit. In this way, the whole world is affected by a single attack. The changes in the situation in Yangxin have profoundly affected the safety of the entire Hehuai line of defense. However, the deployment of troops from Jianghuai to support Hehuai will seriously affect the battle on the southern front.

How to deal with the situation in Yangxin, Jiang Ning had to communicate and discuss countermeasures with leaders and officials from all over the world.

Meng Xinshi was an envoy sent by Jiangning to communicate with Huaidong.

Meng Xinshi was also eager to see Lin Fu, but seeing the waves crashing on the anti-wave seawall were six or seven feet high, he knew that he could not be anxious. , some opinions can be communicated.

Standing on the windbreak seawall, the crown was blown by the sea breeze. Looking at the large and small ships parked in the sheltered harbor inside the seawall, Meng Xinshi couldn't help but sigh: "It's only been a year since Mingzhou was recaptured, and the fishing is here. Its prosperity can already be compared with the Qingjia years, it is not easy, Jiaxing and Pingjiang are also very envious..."

The Changguo, Daishan, Shengsi and Hecheng sea areas have been natural and excellent fishing grounds since ancient times due to the existence of large-scale fishing news. In the middle period of the Yue Dynasty, there were as many as tens of thousands of fishermen officially recorded in Mingzhou Prefecture alone. Correspondingly, the shipbuilding industry and maritime trade of Mingzhou Prefecture were also at their peak.

The prosperity of pirate forces in the past century has caused a devastating blow to the fishing, maritime trade and shipbuilding industries in Mingzhou. .

In order to make up for the lack of meat, Huaidong vigorously developed the fishing industry in Hecheng after he actually controlled the city.

In the later period, a large number of refugees poured into Hecheng. In addition to the large-scale reclamation and planting, a considerable number of people were diverted to the sea to fish. After Huaidong regained eastern Zhejiang, a large number of fishing boats moved south from Hecheng, and in just one year, the fishing affairs of Mingzhou Prefecture were restored to the old view.

Huaidong actually obtained the jurisdiction of the sea territory by virtue of the "Prohibition of Sea and Fishing" issued in the early years and the strong combat power of the Huaidong Water Camp.

In addition to the three major fishing fleets of Hechang, Shengsi and Changguo directly administered by the Military Division, which own more than 70 large and medium-sized fishing boats with double masts or above, more than 600 fishing licenses of various types have been issued according to the size of fishing boats in recent years, and registered fishermen As many as four thousand households.

Chu Zheng saw dozens of fishing boats in Haiyanmenshan Port, which was actually under the jurisdiction of Huaidong.

For this matter, the envoys of Jiaxing prefecture and northern Zhejiang have frequently sent letters to Huaidong. Huaidong just shied away because of maritime insecurity, authorized the Huaidong water battalion to patrol warships, and had the right to detain and attack all unauthorized Huaidong military commanders. Fishing boats and merchant ships licensed to enter the sea.

When it comes to jurisdiction, it is also a conflict of interests. Meng Xinshi's emotion from standing on the seawall is not without purpose.

A two-masted medium-sized fishing boat has obtained a fishing license from the Huaidong Military Division and has to pay more than 90 taels of silver every year. Not to mention the most profitable sea trade, only more than 600 fishing licenses can guarantee that Huaidong can earn more than 20,000 taels of fishing tax revenue every year. In the ocean, how can Pingjiang Prefecture and Jiaxing Prefecture be tolerated to share profits without merit?

Gao Zongting and Ye Junan both laughed at Meng Xinshi's sighs, and did not intend to discuss in depth.

Chu Zheng didn't know the interests behind it for a while, but looking at the prosperity of the fishing boats in Hekou Port, he knew that Huaidong's rise in just a few years was not a fluke.

The silence of Gao Zongting and Ye Junan made Meng Xinshi feel complicated.

The Wu Party supported the establishment of the new emperor, and on this point, it was opposed to Huaidong, who supported troops and respected himself. On the other hand, many Wu Party officials, while upholding imperial power, also hoped to maintain local order and stability and restore people's livelihood; in this regard, no place could do better than Huaidong.

Represented by Meng Xinshi, the Wu Party had a group of officials, and their feelings for Huaidong became complicated, rather than simply rejecting them at first. Even though many people still have a strong sense of defense against Huaidong, at this time when Huaidong's strength is becoming stronger and stronger, there is little direct confrontation and hostility towards Huaidong.

The Lin Zhengjun was blocked by the wind and waves, and it took two days to cross the sea from Laotangshan Port to Changguo Island. In the severely affected fields, Lin Fu, who saw his official robes covered with mud and dirt, walked barefoot to the field to inspect.

Lin Fu walked back to the road, put on his boots and socks, and said to Meng Xinshi: "This time, the hurricane swept across Changguo Island, and there were more than a thousand houses that collapsed; Lord Meng came over just in time to trouble you This matter is reported to the court..."

Meng Xinshi smiled bitterly in his heart: Jiangning must have money for disaster relief, but he knew that Huaidong did not count on Jiangning in disaster relief, so he could not help Jiangning to get rid of the matter, he could only say perfunctorily: "The disasters in Jiangsu and Zhejiang are so bad. It is the position of this official to report that the court knows; but this time I came to Mingzhou to find Lord Lin to ask Lord Lin for his opinion on the situation in Qingzhou..."

"Qingzhou..." Lin Fu stood up, turned subconsciously and looked towards the north, the clear sky was filled with sparse light clouds, and there was calm after the storm. Yesterday came the news that the main force of the Qingzhou Army was in Yangxin to encircle the encirclement. It is estimated that the number of Yanhu soldiers and horses entering Qingzhou from Lelingdu was as many as 60,000 or 70,000, and Yanhu has a tendency to further increase troops to the east. ...

Although Huaidong's strength is not weak today, he does not have the strength to take all the responsibilities of the world.

"What are the opinions of the emperor and the princes of the court?" Lin Fu asked Meng Xinshi back, and said, "It is my duty to share the worries of the court. As long as there is an edict, I will follow it."

Meng Xinshi said in his heart: If Huaidong could be made to act in accordance with the edict just by uploading the edict, why bother him to travel all the way to ask for policy on behalf of the imperial court?

"When we decided to defend Hehuai, we considered the strength of Yangxin's city and allowed the Qingzhou army to build a fortress on the south bank of the Zhulong River. At this time, although a large group of captives crossed the Zhulong River, it formed a siege of Yangxin. However, Yangxin City is strong and strong, and there is no danger of losing it for a while,” Meng Xinshi said, “Although Hehuai is divided into four towns to defend against the enemy, its military strength is empty and it is not enough to compete with the captive soldiers of Yannan and Jinnan. , and also caused the captive soldiers to dare to gather troops to fight all the way, and not be afraid of the three towns to help each other. The emperor and the princes believed that to reverse the situation in Hehuai, the only way to fill the Hehuai defense is feasible. It is only at this time that the world can mobilize them. There are too few soldiers, so I sent this official to Mingzhou to discuss with Lord Lin..."

Lin Bie frowned slightly: Jiang Ning believed that the Qingzhou Army could hold on for a period of time in Yangxin, and had no intention of directly sending troops to reinforce Qingzhou, in case of being attacked by the siege of the captive soldiers, but wanted to continue to strengthen the troops of the Hehuai line of defense and strengthen it on the periphery. The pressure forced the unfavorable captive soldiers from Yangxin to escape from the siege.

Lin Fu pushed the boat smoothly and said: "Although the war in eastern Zhejiang is tense, the imperial court has to send dispatches. Huaidong is willing to send twenty or thirty battalions of elite soldiers to guard Yinan on behalf of Yinan, and they can also go out to Yishan to aid Qingzhou..."

Of course, Meng Xinshi could hear what Lin Fu meant by advancing and retreating: Liang Gu supported the defeat of King Lu, and the Liang family had more than 10,000 elite soldiers stationed in Yinan, just to prevent Huaidong from stabbing Liang from the back, how could the court have the ability Let the Liang family give up Yinan to send troops to Huaidong?

"The war in eastern Zhejiang is related to the foundation of Jiangning. If Huaidong is incompetent, the Dukes of Jiangning hope that Huaidong can concentrate on the war in eastern Zhejiang," Meng Xinshi said, "Chen Xiang asked this official to ask Lord Lin, Dong Are you able to handle the responsibilities?"

Chu Zheng had already guessed that the imperial court might not allow Huaidong to draw troops from the southern line to support Qingzhou, but he was still unhappy when he heard Meng Xinshi say it with his own ears. If Huaidong did not aid Qingzhou, where could the imperial court dispatch troops to relieve the siege of Yangxin?

"How?" Lin Fu asked Meng Xinshi.

"The Duke of Lu sent envoys to Jiangning and stated the reason for stationing troops in Yinan: Xu and Huai towns troops and horses were recruited and formed by recruiting rogues from An'an. There are generals stationed, and the two towns of Xu and Huai, together with Huaidong, dare not make any changes, so that they will be loyal to the court, and the Duke of Lu can rest assured to transfer Yinan troops to the north... Chen Xiangsi thought about it and thought that Mr. Dong might be Appropriate~www.wuxiaspot.com~ What does Master Lin think?" Meng Xinshi said.

Lin Fu smiled inwardly: The Duke of Lu, Liang Xi, would make excuses, using Xuzhou and Huaiyang as excuses, but he just hoped that there would be a figure in Huaixi who could restrain Huaidong, to balance Huaidong's impact on the Huaisi area of control.

Chen Xiyan was eager to expel Dong Yuan from northern Zhejiang, so as to strengthen Jiangning's control over northern Zhejiang, but he was worried that after Dong Yuan was transferred from northern Zhejiang, Meng Yishan and Chen Huawen would not be enough to defend Hanghu, so they did not dare to take it lightly. Adjusted the deployment of troops in southern Zhejiang.

Gao Zongting and Ye Junan looked at each other and smiled. They had long speculated about the Wu Party's intention to drive away Dong Yuan. Yan Hu surrounded Yangxin and only promoted the development of the situation.

Lin Fu couldn't hope that Dong Yuan would be transferred from northern Zhejiang early, but on the surface he still pretended to ask Meng Xinshi: "Yue Xiang, Cheng and others, what are your opinions? Zhejiang Bei is leaving at this time not to host Dong Dong. "

"Mr. Yue thought that if Huaidong could use troops against Kuaiji, then Hanghu would have no worries, and he could even transfer an army from southern Huizhou to the north to actually lengthen the Huai army..." Meng Xinshi said.

"Let me think about it," Lin Fu lowered his head and thought, and said to the people around him, "Arrange Lord Meng to go back to the city to rest first..."

Chu Zheng didn't know what Huaidong's plan was. He thought that Huaidong would not be able to send troops to help Qingzhou for a while, but according to Meng Xinshi's words, as long as Huaidong immediately used troops against Huiji, he would not be able to fight against Huiji on the eastern front. When Nan and Hanghu used troops, the imperial court could mobilize Dong Yuan to strengthen the military deployment in Huaixi. At the same time, it is possible to directly transfer an elite army from Huinan to fill in the Liang, and the Liang family can also transfer Yinan troops to the north to supplement Jinan's lack of troops.

Although this series of mobilizations and adjustments did not mean to directly send troops to relieve Yangxin's siege, as long as the troops of the Hehuai line of defense were enriched, it would definitely restrain Yanhu from daring to attack Yangxin.
