Lord of the House

After nightfall, the rain became heavier and the wind was stronger, and the wind and rain hit the green bamboo in the corner of the courtyard, making a rustling sound. On this stormy night, Qin Zitan took off his belt in the courtyard where he was imprisoned, and hung himself from the beam. When the guards found out, the body was already cold, and there was no rush to rescue it.

Lin Fu heard the reply, sat up in his clothes, got out of bed and walked to Song Jia's room where she was resting. Seeing her sitting in front of the window, only the wick on the table was about to go out. She must have sat without sleep all night, and walked over to hold it. Hold her cold hands.

"He studied with my father for three months, and my father didn't like his conceit, so he finally broke up. No one ever mentioned this matter after that, and no one knew his origins with the Song family..." Song Jia said.

"He wanted to swindle surrender, but he misunderstood that I'm not the kind of person who is thirsty for talent; such an ending may not be considered bad for him," Lin Fu leaned slightly and held up Song Jia's tender chin. , looked at her charming and clear eyes, and said softly: "I will let someone choose a cemetery to bury him, and let his reputation for being loyal to the luxury family go back to Jin'an..."

Put Song Jia on the bed to rest, Lin Fu was sleepless, walked through the corridor and walked to the servant room in the outer courtyard, where he heard the guards talking about Qin Zitan's suicide.

Huaidong and Zhejiang and Fujian rebels have been fighting for these years. Bamin, who is loyal to the old master and would rather die than surrender, has encountered many brave soldiers. However, Qin Zitan was escorted from Nanyuan Creek, and there was nothing unusual for a few days. It happened that he committed suicide by hanging on the beam on the first night in Ouhai. It was really hard to understand, and it was no wonder that the guards were talking about this in the room.

Qin Zitan may have intended to swindle surrender, or he may just have no will to die; Lin Fu can let Qin Zitan not die, but he can't use a character who is incompatible with Huaidong-Song Jia came out from behind the screen, and Huaidong's cards were shown to Qin Zitan.

Lin Fu and Song Jia could have expected that Qin Zitan would commit suicide, but they kept silent when they thought that the ending would not be bad for him.

Lin Fu walked into the guard's room, and the night guards who were resting in the house stood up in a hurry to greet him. Lin Fudan called out Chen Hualian and said to him: "Qin Zitan is considered to be loyal to the She family and died, those who do not Don't have any necessary discussions; find a cemetery for him outside Ouhai City to bury him, don't make it public, and don't be too casual..."

This year, we have paid attention to the principle of "everything belongs to its master, and everyone is loyal to its own affairs": Qin Zitan was captured and captured by the embarrassed, and the generals of the Huaidong Army regarded him as a low value; The generals felt that he was loyal to the old masters and a retainer of virtuous integrity, and most people felt sorry for him.

In any case, in a **** and chaotic world, Qin Zitan's death was like a small wave stirred up in a big river. It subsided after a few days, and few people talked about it again; although the war in southern Zhejiang came to an end temporarily, but Yongjia Mansion was extra busy after the war, and Lin Fu couldn't get away for a while, so he stayed in Ouhai.

Huipu and Wenling counties originally belonged to Taizhou Prefecture, but Taizhou Prefecture only regained these two counties, so Lin Bing would naturally not have any extraneous branches, and they would simply be placed under the jurisdiction of Yongjia Prefecture.

Yongjia City was dilapidated and too deep into the valley of the Nanxi River.

Huaidong was in power due to the water, the ships were large and strong, and the core city in the region was naturally located on the bank of the river. Lin Fu decided to set up Yongjia Prefecture in Ouhai City on the south bank, and recommended to Jiangning that Hu Zhiyong went out to know about Yongjia Prefecture, and Zhou Tong walked through Chongcheng. The battalion commander also supervises the local military preparations of Yongjia Prefecture.

At the same time, Lin Fu decided to build a new Yongjia County on the north bank of the Yongjia River, in the open valley area of ​​the Xichakou where the Nanxi River joins the Yongjia River. At the mouth of the Wenxi River in the upper reaches of the Yongjia River, where the Yongjia River converges, the villages were requisitioned, built fortifications, and stationed in elite troops to reject the Zhejiang and Fujian troops stationed in Qingtian County upstream.

The Yongjia River rises from the Wenxi River estuary, with turbulent currents, large terrain, many beaches, and dangerous terrain on both sides. Whether it was the Zhejiang-Fujian army fighting downstream from Qingtian along the Yongjia River, or the Huaidong attacking upstream with the help of Wenxi Village, it was extremely difficult.

In addition to Wenxi, Yongjia Prefecture requisitioned cottages at the watershed between Wenxi River and Nanxi River, that is, Dabai Mountain in the west of Nanxiyuan River Valley. The mountain road from the county to Yongjia - the mountain road is steep, and only half of the road has a relatively open river valley. It is also at this time that the resources of the luxury family are almost exhausted. Otherwise, the Zhejiang and Fujian troops will build a few more defenses along this dangerous road, and the Yongjia defenders will respond when they retreat, and they will never be defeated so badly.

In the two counties of Zhejiang and Fujian, the mountains and mountains are widely distributed, cutting the terrain into pieces. Usually, the Huaidong Army invaded the hinterland of Zhejiang County from the coastal plain, either advancing westward along the Qianjiang River, or from Shengzhou to Dongyang County, and in other places, either the valley was too dangerous to defend and difficult to attack, or they directly attacked the mountains and mountains. blocked.

"In the later stage, it is very difficult to directly threaten the eastern front of the Zhejiang-Fujian army from Yongjia. This task should be handed over to Shengzhou; the Yongjia garrison, in addition to guarding against the Zhejiang-Fujian army from the upper reaches of the Yongjia River and Jiaojiang River, mainly crosses the Feiyun River. To advance to Cangnan, to advance to northern Fujian..." Lin Fu summoned all the main generals in Yongjia to analyze the current military situation in southern Zhejiang, "The mountains of Zhejiang and Fujian are dangerous and the terrain is broken. In addition to the connection between Fujian and Fujian, there is a long and narrow coastal corridor along the east coast. From Xiapu in Jin'an Prefecture to bypass Tailao Mountain, and from Fenshuiguan into Cangnan County, Yongjia Prefecture - we can use this The passage is called the Tailao Mountain Corridor. Without the East China Sea, the Tailao Mountain Corridor is extremely dangerous. When the Cangnan or Fenshui Pass is blocked, the troops and horses in southern Zhejiang will not be able to go south. However, because the Tailao Mountain Corridor faces the East China Sea, it is so narrow and long. Terrain that lacks depth is a deadly place. My Huaidong water camp warship, in this narrow corridor of 200 miles, especially in Xiapu County, can find dozens of easy landing spots, ready to deploy at any time. This corridor is cut off..."

"If the Zhejiang and Fujian troops don't want to lose Cangnan, a stretch of land that extends deep into Yongjia territory, they must build a dense defense village along the Tailao Mountain Corridor for coastal landings to prevent Cangnan's back road from being cut off," Tang Fu watched as Lin Fu analyzed , asked doubtfully, "The end general is puzzled, why did the She family not decisively abandon Cangnan this time, and retreat to Xiapu across the board?"

"The She family probably didn't expect that the battle of Nanxiyuan River Valley would be defeated so badly," Lin Fu said after taking the conversation, "If Wen Tingrui and Qin Zitan were asked to bring five or six thousand elites from Yongjia to Xianju and Linhai. , it will be sent over to form a tendency for the enemy to gather and disperse. Don't underestimate these five or six thousand troops. In addition to the strengthening of the Zhejiang and Fujian troops, the key is morale. The morale of the Zhejiang and Fujian troops will not be severely setback, and will not be severely hit. In addition to the increased garrison in Wenxi and Dabaishan, we must also focus on guarding against the lower reaches of the Jiaojiang River, and preventing the Zhejiang and Fujian troops from attacking from Xianju, Linhai and Yanjiaojiang! In this case, we really can't gather too many troops in southern Zhejiang to attack Cangnan. In addition, the luxury family abandons Cangnan, and the situation in northern Fujian will be very ugly. Cangnan is still surrounded by mountains, and there is only a relatively open road to enter Cangnan from Pingyang in the north. If Cangnan is abandoned, any part of the Tailao Mountain corridor will be abandoned. Everywhere will be confronted by the two lines of our Huaidong waterway, especially Fuding Bay, which can directly send the large warships of our Huaidong water camp into the depth of sixty or seventy miles-it can be said with certainty that as long as the west line does not There have been ups and downs, and the luxury family has no chance of turning the world upside down on the eastern front."

Gao Zongting sat on the side and listened to Lin Fu and the generals analyzing the situation, and couldn't help nodding slightly: The She family abandoned the land and went to sea, and made a living, and almost took over the entire Zhejiang County, but the She family's advantage in the East China Sea gave After Huaidong surpassed in an all-round way, he was destined to be unable to regain the initiative.

Whether it is Zhejiang or East Fujian, there are mountains and mountains in the depths, and the roads are dangerous, so that the core areas controlled and relied on by the Zhejiang and Fujian troops are almost concentrated in the narrow and relatively scattered offshore and coastal areas, and the terrain is very shallow.

Once the control of the East China Sea is lost, the core areas of the Zhejiang and Fujian troops are almost exposed to the front of Huaidong. And once a place is captured, usually an area loses its coherence and breaks into several pieces that cannot be considered together.

This is called the dead form in military affairs, and it is also called dead chess lacking in the air when playing chess.

Just like this war in southern Zhejiang, the Taizhou and Yongjia defenders of the Zhejiang-Fujian Army were in the north of Yueqing and the other in the west of Yueqing, but because Yueqing was occupied by the Huaidong Army, Taizhou and Yongjia were given to the steep North Yandang Mountain, Kuocang Mountain and other high mountains are separated, and it takes more than 400 miles of steep and dangerous mountain roads to support each other. In the end, the Huaidong Army only needs a small amount of troops to guard Wen Qiao and monitor the Taizhou defenders to the north, so that they can concentrate their forces and attack Yongjia with confidence. garrison.

How can the Zhejiang and Fujian army win this kind of passive terrain?

"Then what will we do next? Should we attack northern Fujian and attack the old nest of the luxury family, or should we focus on Shengzhou? Or should we directly gather troops and horses in Shangyu, cross the Cao'e River, and attack Kuaiji directly..." Chen Dingbang asked.

"The luxury family has been completely contracted on the eastern line," Lin Fu patiently answered the generals' questions and said, "The eastern line is centered on Dongyang County, and the four cities of Xianju, Linhai, Tiantai, and Jinyun form the left wing of the eastern line, Zhuji, Kuaiji constitutes the right flank of its eastern line. However, the She family's troops in western Zhejiang are almost also centered on Chun'an, Fuyang, Linshui and other cities are the left flank, and Xinzhou and other cities are the right flank. The most important connection point of its east-west line is In Fuyang. To cut off Fuyang, the luxury family in Zhejiang County wants to connect the east and west lines, so they have to go around 600 to 700 miles from Quzhou and Xinzhou. The Qianjiang waterway is blocked, and presumably the generals in northern Zhejiang will not. Let the Huaidong Army attack Fuyang directly; then we will gather troops and horses in Shangyu, on the east bank of the Cao'e River, and prepare to attack Kuaiji... By laying down Kuaiji, we can also cut off the communication between the luxury family and the east."

"Once we gather troops in Shangyu and prepare for a battle, the She family will inevitably draw troops from Fuyang to strengthen Kuaiji. We are afraid that it will be difficult to fight Kuaiji for a while - isn't it helping the people in northern Zhejiang? " Zhou Tong asked.

"Exactly!" Lin Bie laughed.

How could Jiangning transfer Dong Yuan away without helping Zhejiang North relieve the pressure? Lin Fu was also prepared to take the risk that She Feixiong would break through from northern Zhejiang after Dong Yuan was transferred, so he gave up the advance to force northern Fujian and concentrated his troops to Mingzhou. Crossing the Qianjiang River ~www.readwn.com~ is relatively faster.

At this time, Jiangning was mainly supported by the taxes of Jiangning, Danyang, Pingjiang, and Weiyang. Lin Fu did not dare to let Danyang and Pingjiang be disabled to Zhejiang and Fujian.

Immediately, Lin Fu announced the adjustment of the deployment of troops in southern Zhejiang: the Chongcheng Infantry Battalion is the main station stationed in Yongjia Prefecture, and the injured in the war in southern Zhejiang will be cured. Five brigade 15,000 soldiers. Chongzhou does not even need to support ordnance, and only the captured armor is enough to support this level of expansion.

The new Southern Zhejiang Army was officially incorporated into the Eastern Zhejiang Camp Army to show that the Yongjia Prefecture as a whole was included in the defense area of ​​the Eastern Zhejiang envoy. The army cooperated to defend Yongjia Mansion, and the rest of the troops, including Tang Fuguan and Zuo Guangying's troops, led Lin Fu to enter Mingzhou Mansion.

In this way, in Yongjia Prefecture and Yizhou, the troops mainly consisted of the Chongzhou Infantry Battalion, the Jinghai First Water Battalion, and a part of the Eastern Zhejiang Marching Battalion, with about 24,000 troops. Not only must they be stationed in Yongjia Prefecture and Yizhou Island, but they must also maintain aggressive and harassing operations against the coastal areas of eastern Fujian from land and water.

In Mingzhou Prefecture, the Changshan Battalion, the main force of the Zhedong Army Camp, the Second Water Battalion, and a part of the Third Water Battalion are the main ones. There are about 50,000 troops. They are mainly stationed in Mingzhou Prefecture, and are maintained from Shengzhou and Shangyu. Military pressure on Dongyang County and Kuaiji. In addition, Huaidong's total number of soldiers in the labor camp in Mingzhou has reached 40,000.

Just after the war in southern Zhejiang was over, Lin Fu didn't mean to let the She family breathe a sigh of relief. Because Cangkuo Mountain, Tiantai Mountain and other mountains are blocked, it is not conducive for Lin Fu to organize troops to fight a war of attrition on the southern front. Then, the war of attrition will be transferred to Mingzhou Prefecture, and an attack on Kuaiji will be launched along the Cao'e River. The terrain is flat, and the Huaidong Army It also has the geographical advantage of controlling the Cao'e River. My QT room is open! More vulgar official QT room number [9167] Click to enter
