Lord of the House: Chapter 137 rotten times 1

The river embankment here has been converted into a temporary ferry, and a section of the pontoon that blocks the river can also be opened and closed to facilitate the passage of ships.

Lin Fu and Yang Pu rushed to the shore, the fleet had just passed the checkpoint of the pontoon bridge, and the Dongyang had entered the pontoon checkpoint and docked.

The condolence officials sent by the divisions took Qin Chengbo's widow and family members off the ship, and three other official ships were prepared to send them back to Jiangning first. Whether the Qin family will go or stay will have to wait for Zhongli to send someone from the Qin family to deal with it. If the general of the Fuguo died in Hongzepu, Yanjing will most likely have a special edict to comfort them, and they will also have special comfort for the children of the Qin family.

Most of the Qin family members were female relatives. They had been frightened for so long, and had been suppressed for so long in the dark lower cabin. When they came ashore and saw the imperial army stationed here, they suddenly had the backbone, and all the panic and grief in their hearts were fully vented. There was a lot of crying in the open space in front of the persimmon forest.

Qin Chengbo is also a person who knows how to enjoy it. His wives and concubines are in groups, and his maids are like clouds. Except for a few old people or the daughters of the Qin family, other female relatives are all beautiful.

When Qin Chengbo was serving as Jiangning's garrison general, he exploited his subordinates badly. Although the generals and soldiers in the battalion were still under his command for more than ten days, there was no incense relationship between them. , many generals even feel very happy.

At this time, many soldiers gathered on the bank to point at the beautiful widow of the Qin family with a hilarious smile, and some even whistled.

The Lin family and the Gu family who fled to Jiangning also came ashore at this time to get some air.

Gu Yingxiu was not panicked by Lin Bing's side, and her complexion was good. Under the illumination of the campfire, she was more beautiful than the frightened Yingying Yanyan, and naturally attracted the attention of these generals.

Gu Yingxiu saw Lin Fu and Yang Pu approaching, and it was not easy to take the initiative to walk towards them in the crowd, and his eyes were full of eyes.

"Miss," Yang Pu still called Gu Yingxiu by her old name when she was at Gu's house, "it's inconvenient for you to come out, let me greet you, after arriving in Jiangning, let you live in the mansion first, we have already sent someone back to Jiangning I will send you a letter to arrange a yard for you..."

Gu Yingxiu glanced at Lin Bie and said to Yang Pu: "Please tell Uncle Yang to my second uncle, Yingxiu is very grateful for the second uncle's concern, but Yingxiu was born from the Lin family, and died as a ghost of the Lin family, sir. How can Yingxiu live alone in the Gu Mansion while still using the decoction?"

Yang Pu felt strange. At this time, the eldest miss was a good opportunity to leave the Lin family. The eldest lady was still young and beautiful. After Lin Tingxun passed away, the adults could make the decision to find a husband for her to marry, and she would have a support in the future, so she would not be lonely. Single to old. But the eldest lady insisted that she would not leave the Lin family, and Yang Pu was inconvenient to say anything at this time, thinking that she would be persuaded by the adults himself in the future.

"Lin Xiucai, when will the situation in Shanglin stabilize? When we go to Jiangning, should we buy a plot of land first, or should we go to the city and rent a few yards to live in first?" The sixth lady struggled to hold the eleven-year-old son Lin Xuxi in his arms. In her arms, she came over to ask Lin Fu, the second son, Lin Xuzong, was dead, and the eldest son had a boundless future in Yanjing, and it seemed that he would not come back. In her opinion, no one would compete with her son for the position of the head of the family. It was just Lin Zonghai, who she used to rely on. When she was not around, she had to discuss with Lin Fu. After all, she can't do anything in public. She also realized that in Jiangning, she had to temporarily rely on Lin Bie.

"It's impossible for Xiangyong to enter the city. Besides, there are thousands of villagers in Shanglin who took refuge in Jiangning with the Lin family. We can't ignore them," Lin Fu said. In this place, the conditions will be more difficult, and the Sixth Lady will be temporarily wronged."

At this time, there were many things that were inconvenient to say, so Lin Fu summoned Cao Zi'ang, Zhao Hu, Zhou Pu, Lin Mengde and others, and asked Zhou Pu to accompany him to stay in the barracks. There are more than 400 villagers in Shanglinli, and more than 200 people from Lin Jiyuan and Chen Shouyan's team who are neatly organized also stay temporarily. Nearly 100 people from Zhao Qingshan's team have organized and gathered more than 100 villagers along the way. Cao Zi'ang, Zhao Hu, Lin Mengde and others first led him to the river mouth to settle down temporarily. They discussed many things first, and waited for him to return before making a decision.

After instructing, Lin Fu and Yang Pu and others went to comfort the Gu family.

At this time, it was confirmed that Shiliangcheng County was captured by Liu An'er's department, and the refugees on both sides of the Shiliang River also rioted. Although Lin Fu sent someone to send a letter in time, most of the Gu family thought that Lin Fu was alarmist, and only thirty or fifty people escaped with their family. relatives and friends.

The situation of the enemy in the northern border of Shiliang County is unknown, and it is impossible to send an army in to pick up the people for the sake of the Gu family.

After staying in the open space on the west bank to the south of the pontoon until midnight, officials such as Xuan Fu Envoy Wang Tian and An Cha Envoy Jia Pengyu came forward to comfort the Qin family. . Zhou Pu and ten military guards accompanied Lin Fu to stay in the barracks, waiting for the giants to summon him at any time.

Jia Pengyu, Gu Wuchen, and the officials of the Apostolic Commissioner Division also set up a camp a little further in the direction of the superintendent of the Superintendent Commissioner, with more than 1,000 chariots under the supervision of the Commissioner and 600 people stationed here. Lin Fu brought more than 200 people from the villages of Lin Jiyuan and Chen Shouyan to this camp temporarily.

Although the combat effectiveness of the town army is low, the camp of the Jiangning garrison is quite large, and the camp of the inspector general is much simpler and more chaotic. When Lin Fu brought people over, Ma Chao was throwing his temper and teaching them, and when he saw Yang Pu accompanying Lin Fu and the others, he smiled helplessly: "If these tortoise sons are dragged to Yanbei to fight, they can only make Donghu people The knife has become blunt..."

"Jiangning has been in peace for a long time, and he has entrusted more places to arrest robbers and bandits. It is impossible to be exacting." Lin Fu said.

He saw a small independent camp to the west of the camp, and asked strangely, "Which family is there?"

"There is a battalion of soldiers led by Liu Xilin, and you may not be able to see Captain Liu at this time," Yang Pu said, "Li Zhuo strictly forbids the garrison to meddle in local affairs. It is limited. For the internal guards, we can only transfer a battalion of horse infantry from Jiangning. Liu Xilin has just taken over the Dongchengwei for three or five days, and the situation is still chaotic. Zhang Yubo also came, but he should be in Chaotian with Gutang County magistrate at this time. The station is in town. Who would have known that there are more than 200,000 refugees in the Chaotianyi area..."

Lin Bing didn't say much.

Although Li Zhuo was tied up, he still tried his best to stabilize the situation in the north of Chaotian Dang.

There are more than 200,000 refugees in the Chaotianyi area, and there are probably as many as 300,000 or 400,000 refugees in the entire Gutang County. Once the riots start, the situation will be difficult to control.

The correct solution is to send heavy troops to guard at the checkpoints and key points, forcibly cut off the connection with the outside world, then strengthen the internal security, increase the measures to comfort the refugees, and ease the contradiction between the main customers, so that the situation can be temporarily stabilized.

Li Zhuo's principle of strictly prohibiting the town army from interfering in local affairs is also correct. On the one hand, it can ensure the simplicity of the town army, and on the other hand, it will not cause the town army to be scattered for local affairs and stability maintenance. However, the roots of the Jiangning garrison have rotted, and it is not because Li Zhuo is not capable or prestige, and it is not a one-day effort for anyone to change the status quo.

To pacify the situation in Hongzepu, it is easy to say, let Li Zhuo have overall control of the overall situation, stabilize the situation around Hongzepu first, and limit the forces and influence of Liu An'er's forces to penetrate into the hinterland of Haozhou, Dongyang, and Huai'an. Chen Zhihu's tribes are still clearing bandits in Huaishang, Zhongzhou and other places, and they have transferred an elite fighting force of thousands of people, and the overall situation can be determined.

It would be nice if things could be this simple. Gu Wuchen didn't come back from the big tent until it was bright, and Lin Fu didn't talk too much about the strategy of quelling the rebellion.

The Chu Party wanted to expel Chen Xinbo from the center and tried every means to limit Li Zhuo's influence. How could they easily give Li Zhuo Hong Zepu's great achievements in suppressing the rebellion?

During the water battle at Luoyang Lake, Cao Zi'ang and Ge Cunxin led four disguised fishing boats to sneak in, and robbed the fish in troubled waters to obtain the spoils of war that should belong to the Hongzepu Water Village. A total of more than 80 pairs of excellent soldiers and eight privately raised golden **** of 1,000 taels were obtained. , forty-one privately raised silver **** weighing 1,000 taels.

In addition to the soldiers and armor, the gold and silver are nearly 100,000 taels of official silver, and this huge wealth is only more than 3,000 catties. If you calculate the volume, it is equivalent to four hundred catties of water.

How much space can 400 pounds of water take up? A slightly larger water tank is not full. These gold and silver are hidden on the Dongyang ship~www.mtlnovel.com~ It is really unknowing.

The Hongzepu Water Village would probably earn more than ten times what they would get from fishing in troubled waters in Linfu. In addition, Hongzepu Water Village had successively conquered Sizhou City, Shiliang City, and Shanglinli, and the gains were even more abundant.

There are many wealthy households in Shanglin, but gold and silver wealth is second. Shanglin is one of the most important grain markets in the north of Jiangning. Many large landowners in Dongyang Mansion, in addition to keeping enough rice grains for their own annual needs during the harvest season, will transport the surplus grains to Shanglin to be sold at a price. Although the summer harvest season is approaching, many grain merchants in Shanglin are preparing to clear their warehouses to buy wheat, but the grain stock in the market is usually not less than 100,000 shi.

At this time, the harvest of 100,000 mu of fertile wheat along the coast of Hongzepu, especially in Shiliang County and Sizhou, was about to happen. The problem is not very serious, but if this batch of taxed grain and rented grain is collected by Liu An'er's department, the problem is much more serious.

Sizhou is located in the situation of Hongzepu, but it is famous for producing iron. Shiliang County seems to be tasteless, but it helps Liu An'er's department to control the situation south of Hongzepu. To solve the crisis in Hongzepu, it should be done sooner rather than later. If they were given time, and there were countless refugees nearby who could be recruited, who knew how far their power would expand.

Seeing Li Zhuo urge the Jiangning garrison to set up a stable camp in Gutang County, it can be seen that he has no hope for the suppression of the rebellion under his own jurisdiction, and only wants to stabilize the situation in Jiangning Prefecture. sober. He probably also realized that it was impossible for the court to transfer his old troops to Jiangdong to suppress the rebellion.

Lin Fu withdrew from Shanglindu and saw that the situation in the northern part of Gutang County was rotten and the giants were still discussing with peace of mind. He knew that a quick solution to Hong Zepu was impossible, and he cursed bitterly in his heart: This damned party dispute . My QT room is open!
