Lord of the House

"Huaidong has 5,000 armored cavalry, 15,000 soldiers, and more than 10,000 navy soldiers. They are sharpening their knives and waiting for the battle," Lin Fu said enthusiastically, "The armored cavalry has assembled in Haizhou, and can go north from Pocheyan Pass. , from Qingzhou, via Yangxin, and headed north to Hejian; more than 100 soldiers, navy and sea ships have been assembled in Chongzhou - only by the order of the imperial court, they can go north to King Qin of Yandi in ten days to resist the violence. prisoner!

After hearing this, Lin Xuwen, Wu Qi, Sun Shangwang and others thought to themselves: Can Huaidong send so many troops to the north to the King of Qin?

"Good, good, good!" Huang Jinnian said "good" three times, but he didn't know what Huaidong's strength was.

It is said that the actual number of Huaidong soldiers should not exceed 20,000, but who can manage this these days. Besides, in times of emergency, recruiting and expanding troops can be done expediently, as long as the salaries and rations for raising troops are not allocated by the imperial court.

Lin Fie came to fight for the first meritorious minister who escorted King Qin. In Huang Jinnian's view, he was very utilitarian, but there was nothing wrong with this. If Lin Fu does not ask for the same and leads troops into King Qin of Yannan, who can rest assured?

Of course, whether or not to call the Huaidong Army into the Yandi King Qin is far from something that Huang Jinnian can decide.

"The government immediately sent an envoy to Beijing to report this matter." Huang Jinnian was devastated by the critical situation of the captive riding Kou Yan. Lin Bie came to Jinhai, and immediately wiped away the despair, eagerly holding hands. With his arm, he said, "If the courtiers in the world are loyal to the court like you and me, and worry about the king, why worry about the difficulties in the world? No matter what the court decides, the loyalty to Lin Zhizhi will definitely be greatly rewarded! "

There is a lot of controversy about Huaidong between the court and the opposition, but one thing that cannot be questioned is that in recent years, only the Huaidong Army has achieved the victory over the Donglu iron cavalry in the field. In the past, it was difficult for Huaidong to be arrogant and arrogant, but Huang Jinnian felt that Huaidong was extremely cute at this time.

"..." Lin Fu laughed and said humbly, "You and I, ministers, it is natural for you to share your worries for the king. It is good to have rewards; if there are no rewards, don't you still serve the court?" He said again, "Listen to the words Li Bingbu has resigned and returned to Beijing to stand by - Li Bingbu was not able to attack western Liaoning, but the court was good at defending the expedition, and outside Li Bingbu, there were very few..."

Huang Jinnian was a little unhappy when he heard Lin Fu's voice and intended to recommend Li Zhuo. However, Li Zhuo has no military power, and Lin Fu is not taboo to say such a thing. As for whether the court will adopt it, that is another matter.

"The pirates in Hehuai were suppressed and difficult to clear, and they moved eastward and invaded Huaisi again a few years ago. This is the fall of danger for survival. I would like to suggest to the court to temporarily recruit and appease them, as a way to delay the army. I don't know what Mr. Huang thinks?" Lin Fu said again.

As for the red jacket army's eastward advance, Liu Tingzhou and Huang Shuen's testimonials, including Lin Fu's plea, were all sent to Beijing.

How to deal with the red-jacketed rebels is a matter of suppression or comfort, and there is endless controversy in the imperial court. The mainstream opinion of the officials of the Ministry of Household is still mainly to care. After all, people have been killed, who should the land be planted, and who should the Ministry of Household tax grain? It is convenient for the chief suppressing official to directly ask: If you want to stroking, what should you use to stroking?

In any case, at this time, the imperial court will not easily deal with the minister of handsome soldiers. Suyu and Suining lost their defense, and it was impossible to put the blame on Lin Bie. In case Lin Bie was forced into a hurry and forced him to jump over the wall, this consequence would not be borne by Dayue Chao at this time.

"If Lin Zhizhi has such an opinion, he may submit a book to the court to express his opinion," Huang Jinnian said. "I think the sage and the court guilds will consider Lin Zhizhi's opinion."

"Okay." Lin Bie nodded and said.

According to the rules, Lin Fu could not step into the land of Jinhai unless he obeyed the edict, so he had to wait for the court's order on Jinwei Island. Huang Jinnian left Jinwei Island first, and returned to the government office to arrange to send someone to Beijing to report the news; Lin Fu handed over the book he wrote in advance to Huang Jinnian, and asked Huang Jinnian to send someone to Beijing with him.

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

Huang Jinnian, Zhang Wendeng and others left, and there were no outsiders on Jinwei Island. Lin Xuwen asked, "How many soldiers can Huaidong send out?"

Lin Xuwen was quite familiar with the situation in Huaidong.

The total strength of Huaidong may be more than 30,000, but it is necessary to guard against a surprise attack by the Zhedong navy from the luxury family. Huaidong must leave enough guards in the Shengsi Islands to the interior lines including Jiangmen, Hecheng, and Chongzhou. The strength of the imperial army... The strength of the army that can draw the King of Qin to the north is far less optimistic than what Lin Fu said to Huang Jinnian just now.

"It's really possible to transfer about half of King Qin's troops," Lin Fu said. "Even if the Huaidong cavalry is all transferred, it will only be about 3,000 people. Chongzhou is dominated by Changshan Battalion, which was expanded to 20 Battalions only last month. The navy has shrunk to the north of the Shengsi line of defense; in addition, the Heishuiyang fleet has also assembled in Hecheng and Chongzhou..."

After the summer and autumn of last year, the Heishuiyang fleet was incorporated into the four battalions of the personal guard battalion, and all of them were changed to armed merchant ships. The food route was temporarily interrupted, and the ships belonging to the Blackwater Ocean Shipping Society could be used as qualified troop transport ships.

Chongzhou has a lot of reserve troops and some training, but Lin Fu's expansion of the main infantry battalion pays more attention to the completeness of the armor.

Although the Huaidong Ordnance Superintendent has worked hard to build it in the past year, and the number of craftsmen directly under the jurisdiction has increased, but the armor reserve is just over 5,000 sets. The Changshan battalion was expanded to 20 battalions last month, which is already the limit.

Of course, at a critical juncture, during extreme mobilization, the infantry can each send a spear to fight, even if it is not bad. Huaidong's spear reserves are still sufficient. An iron spear to pierce a spear does not consume much iron, and it is far simpler to build than a steel knife.

Even though Huaidong was able to draw out only half of King Qin's troops compared to what he told Huang Jinnian just now, Lin Xuwen was still satisfied.

The Tianjin Navy has only ten battalions of soldiers, of which there is a battalion of cavalry soldiers; Huaidong can draw out more than twice as many troops as the Tianjin Navy - so there are 20,000 elites available in Jinhai, and there are Huai The Dongshui Army should have considerable confidence in keeping the back road at sea and defending the three cities of Hejian, Cangzhou and Jinhai.

As long as they can hold the eastern part of Hebei, the Xuanfu army and the Jingying army can hold Gyeonggi, and restrict Ye Jiduo and his cavalry from crossing the gap between Jidong and Gyeonggi to Jizhou, the situation is still promising. quick.

If Ye Jiduo led his troops into Jizhou and cut off the retreat of the Jizhen army, causing the Jizhen army to be wiped out in western Liaoning, the situation would be completely collapsed. Unless Huaidong can fully arm the troops and horses of the workers' battalion and transport them to Jinhai, it will be difficult to reverse the situation in the north - but what is the benefit to Huaidong by doing so?

At this time, the most critical question is whether the time is in time and the main force of the captive cavalry that has assembled and rested in the Dingzhou area. Where will the next attack direction be?

Thinking of this, Lin Xuwen's face was worried.

"Is the situation in Yanjing really helpful?" Lin Xuwen asked.

"It's hard to say," Lin Fu said in a false tone, "It depends on how fast the court moves! Before I came to Jinhai, I ordered 2,000 cavalry soldiers to pass through the Poche Yanguan and enter Shandong. The southern area is on standby. I will send someone to contact me immediately. As long as the imperial decree is issued, the cavalry can arrive at Jinhai as soon as possible, but it can prevent the situation of Hejian Mansion from eroding. However, on the Jinhai side, we still have to take the worst plan to prepare..."

In Qingzhou, as long as Huaidong said hello to Chen/Yuanliang, Gu Siyuan and others, Zhou Pu led the cavalry camp to sneak in secretly. Time comes - this is very important.

The Tianjin Navy has 6,000 soldiers, and defending three cities in a short period of time will not be a problem. But if Hejian Mansion was infiltrated and divided by a large number of captives, the three cities, Cangzhou and Jinhai, were close to the sea. Fortunately, Hejian would become an isolated city.

There are more than 2,000 elite cavalry to come to the rescue, as a mobile combat force, unless Ye Jiduodi has been attacking the Hejian Mansion as the main direction from the beginning, the situation here will not collapse.

Lin Xuwen nodded, and asked again in a low voice, "Does Huaidong really want to bet here?"

Lin Xuwen was very clear about the current situation of the court, and he was also clear about the situation in Huaidong. The Dayue Dynasty is about to be destroyed~www.readwn.com~ Huaidong is qualified to compete in the Central Plains. It is Ma Yigong, Yang Yihang and other generals of the Tianjin Navy who have a deeper affection for Huaidong. There is no problem in asking them to follow Huaidong Ma's lead.

"Even if Yanjing can't hold it, Jinhai has to hold on for a while!" Lin Fu said decisively, paused for a while, and then said, "As for the other things, just do what you want."

Jinhai is a key pass in the eastern Hebei region. Peeping into Gyeonggi, as long as Jinhai does not fall, the Donghu people can count as occupying Yanjing, and they will not dare to invade the south. Holding on to Jinhai will gain more preparation time for the south.

Even if Yannan and Jinzhong fell, they should try their best to spare the small mouths in these areas and not use them for the Donghu people.

A large number of refugees have gathered in Jinhai, and it is not something that can be done in a short time to evacuate hundreds of thousands of refugees to the south.

Sun Shangwang wondered in his heart: he knew before that Huaidong had no plans for King Qin this time, and the orders he received also tried to cooperate with Wu Qi to persuade Lin Xuwen to abandon Hejian and Cangzhou and stick to Jinhai with all his strength.

Now Lin Xu not only transferred the precious cavalry of Huaidong to the north, but also tried his best to defend the three cities of Hejian, Cangzhou and Jinhai. He is even more likely to further transfer the Changshan battalion and the main force of the navy to the north——When is Huaidong? Sudden change of strategy?

However, since Lin Fu came to Jinhai in person, Huaidong undoubtedly changed his strategy.

Perhaps Lin Mengde, Cao Zi'ang, Qin Chengzu, Fu Qinghe and others saw that King Qin was more profitable for Huaidong.

Is it more profitable?

The luxury family in the south is like a tiger on the side, hasn't it been accumulating strength and waiting for this opportunity to hit a deadly punch? In the past six months, Huaidong's harassment on the coasts of eastern Fujian and southern Zhejiang has weakened the power of the luxury family?
