Lord of the House

Hechazikou, the river slopes to the southwest corner. The west bank of the estuary and the river bank form an acute-angled terrace slightly higher than the surrounding area, about 300 acres. Jiyun Society has successively added 300 acres of land during this period of time. right to buy. The 300 acres is not too big, but not too small. It is about 1,300 steps in a circle. Except for the pier on the river bank and the pier on the bamboo embankment, the terrace is surrounded by a fence of mixed bamboo branches and wicker.

The wicker has been inserted for more than half a month, and it has sprung up with the spring breeze. From a distance, it is covered with cyan, which separates the terrace from the outside world.

The buildings on the terrace are still very limited. There is a large enclosed house consisting of nearly 40 single-family houses in the west corner by the river embankment. For the four corner towers on the outer wall, Zhao Qinmin stood on the high ground on the side of the Zhudi Wharf with Lin Bing and others, and he could not see the situation surrounding the house at all.

Listening to the whistle bell, Ge Fu, Wu Yanqing, Zhao Shuhan, Ge Siyu and others did not go to the prison island to escape, they all folded ashore with the forest tie with Zhao Qinmin, and walked to the highland here, but they gave it to the people in the southwest corner. Yang Shulin blocked his line of sight, only to see the birds in the southwest startled, I don't know how many people rushed here.

Hearing the constant buzzing of the whistle, Zhao Qinmin was in a panic, but Lin Fu stood on the high ground calmly. He could only hold back his anxiety and look around.

He knew that on the west side of the large enclosed house that blocked the view, there was another enclosed house of similar size that was half-finished, and there were also thatched cottages, dozens of shacks and earth-enclosed round warehouses for stacking goods, as well as the river mouth. The bamboo hall has begun to take shape - the bamboo hall is a single-family building. Zhao Qinmin stood at the height of the bamboo embankment pier and looked at the whole semi-curved bamboo hall covering an area of ​​about two acres. Build a large palace-style building.

Except for these few buildings, most of the terraces within the fence are still empty. It's no wonder that Lin Fu has only been on prison island for a little more than two months. During this period, there was another massacre of refugees at the mouth of the river. Jiyun Club mainly focused on digging the river embankment and pier. , indicating that the efficiency here is already astonishingly high.

On the one hand, it shows that Lin Fu and Jiyun Club have done a lot of preparatory work earlier, and they have been planning for the estuary for a long time; on the other hand, it shows that the financial resources behind Jiyun Club are sufficient, and Jiyun Club is by no means an empty shelf as rumored by the outside world; On the other hand, the organization of Jiyun Club here is extremely efficient. Whether it is material supply, personnel organization, or construction, it is very efficient.

Zhao Qinmin can serve as Wang Xueshan's staff for eight years. Even though he is in a panic at this time, his basic eyesight has not been lost. He thinks that the people in Jiangning are sitting in the well and watching the sky, thinking that Lin Fu is just an arrogant and domineering madman, if he can come here At a glance, it can be seen that Lin Fude Gu Wuchen's weapon is heavy. In addition to his unstoppable and strong personality, Gu Wuchen can use it as a sharp knife. He also has a great talent that is unmatched by ordinary people. illustration.

Maybe he should have some confidence in him, Zhao Qinmin thought to himself, although there was a large group of people approaching from the southwest, he paid attention to Lin Bing's eyes on the west to the north. Looking at Lin Bing's line of sight, Zhao Qinmin discovered that the Linjiang turret in the northeast corner of the castle-like enclosure was the commanding height of the platform, and the whistle was ringing from the turret, and the turret in the southwest corner of the enclosing house paid out. A series of two-color pennants were raised one after another on the flagpoles that came. Although the wind was a little chaotic, Zhao Qinmin counted ten pennants in total.

"Okay, Wang Xueshan really looks down on us. There are thousands of people here. Although only half of the soldiers are wandering, there are two hundred cavalry. The rest may be here to watch the fun..." Lin Fu said. He led the crowd around the thatched cottage and went straight to the gate of the fence on the south side. The other guards and soldiers who stayed in the cottage also came to meet. Only then did Zhao Qinmin realize that these guards and soldiers came out with bows and arrows.

Is that a summons flag?

Zhao Qinmin glanced at the southwest corner tower in surprise. There are many literate people in the urban and rural areas of Jiangning, but in such a short period of time, it is possible to count the thousands of people who swarmed, clearly and accurately transmit the information. There are not many in a hundred people. Don't say that the sentry post of the Jiangning Mansion's army and Ma Sifu army does not have such high literacy. I am afraid that Jiangning guarding the military camp sentry that has not been practiced for a long time under the General's Mansion may not be able to communicate so accurately and quickly.

Zhao Qinmin found that the recruiters working in various places on the platform did not panic as they imagined after hearing the whistle. On the construction sites they passed, the recruiters all stopped and gathered on the spot, with only one or two foremen or supervisors. The handsome man stood and looked towards the corner tower. When Zhao Qinmin followed Lin Fu and the others to the gate to the south of the fence, he found that there was already a group of men with bamboo guns, about 70 or 80 people. Two obstacles; on the river bank to the north, there is another group of people who are gathering to issue bamboo guns.

Zhao Qinmin could see the difference at this time. Hearing that the whistle bells gathered at various construction sites and sat on the ground were all the laborers hired by Jiyun Society from Moling County and the suburbs of Jiangning City. Migrant workers recruited from Chaotiandang North Shore many months ago. Zhao Qinmin never imagined that after the refugee massacre, the will of these refugees to recruit workers was not defeated, but Lin Fu was organized in such an orderly manner.

Lin Jingyun, Cao Ziang and others who had not appeared just now also came to the south fence.

Zhao Qinmin was frightened by what he saw in his eyes. How did Lin Fu achieve everything in front of him? I thought to myself: He has only been in prison for two months since he went to Prison Island to serve as a prison officer, and Jiyun Club has only established himself here for two months. If he is given another half a year, I'm afraid he really doesn't have to worry about the rabble under Captain Dongcheng.

After reporting that Yang Pu led the arresting cavalry back to the city, Chen Zhi, the captain of Dongcheng, immediately dispatched more than 500 horse infantrymen, knife archers, and Zaoban yamen from the army and horse division to come to Hekou to arrest Zhao Qinmin's family and bring them to justice. Chen Zhi knew that after the two divisions and the three prefectures recognized Jiangdao prison guards' right to defend the river mouth some time ago, the sea capture document issued by the Jiangning prefecture was not signed by the inspector, and the small area of ​​the river mouth was affected. There is not enough binding force, but he is not worried about this. He has more than 500 people, and one person can spit this small piece of land in the estuary.

From the Donghuamen official road to the Hekou side, there are still eleven or two miles of land, and the chariot and horse sidewalks have not yet been repaired. Ge Siyu calculated that, from the estuary, to build a chariot and horse access road with a width of eight steps, which can accommodate two cars and vehicles, and there are sewers and willows planting to protect the road slope, more than 120 acres of land will be requisitioned. One thousand five hundred taels of silver and three million dollars of copper could not be built, so the planned carriage and horses have been dragged and no construction has been started. All supplies from the river mouth are transported by water, and there is only one soil ridge road that leads directly to the village at the west end of the Yangshuin in the village, and then goes around the south end of the Yangshuin to the river mouth.

The troop of 500 troops of the Jiangning Prefecture Soldiers and Horses Division was mighty and mighty. When deployed, it could occupy nearly two acres of land. They lined up in four columns. It was also very rewarding to ride a tall horse in front of a few escorts, and the news that my nephew died of serious injuries at noon did not bring much sadness. There are many rogue teenagers and local gangsters in the city, especially the local gangsters who gave Lin Fu a lesson in Dongshi yesterday but escaped in time. Knowing that Dongchengwei's troops were coming to the estuary to arrest people, they all flocked to watch the fun. The guy, thinking that he was about to make a move, he could follow the Jiangning Mansion's soldiers and horses to take advantage of the fire.

Just such a mighty and majestic team going out of Donghua Gate was squeezed into a pile of loose sand by a two-arm-wide dirt road. When Chen Zhi arrived at the gate of the fence at the mouth of the river, his men and horses had been dragging for two or three miles. , Chen Zhi's face was ugly, and the space outside the fence gate was very limited, and he couldn't let so many men and horses under his commander be rectified to deter the people inside the fence.

It was Chen Zhi who stopped outside the fence gate, and the soldiers and horses behind him kept coming together. The venue was small and there were deep drainage ditches on the outside of the venue. There are no rules and regulations. In the end, Chen Zhi couldn't help it, and sent out a few guards around him and whipped them around, only to block the men and horses behind them and move forward. The scene was a little better.

Lin Fu calmly looked at everything outside the fence gate, shook his head with a sigh, turned his head and joked with Zhao Qinmin and others, "Look, Jiangning has 150,000 households, and preventing thieves from catching thieves relies on these rabble. If I have thirty or fifty elites to dispatch, I will open the gate and kill a motherfucker..."

Zhao Qinmin looked at the refugees who had lined up and scattered to both sides of the fence and held simple bamboo guns. He knew that Lin Fuzhen was not talking big, and that Lin Fu was speaking rudely, probably because of the rabble in front of him.

Zhao Shuhan, Ge Siyu, Ge Fu, Ge Yanqing and others also shook their heads silently, the government army's combat power was so eroded, and the entire town army was not much better. What the court can expect in front of them are the elites under Li Zhuodong's leadership, and the hundreds of thousands of remnants of the army reorganized after the defeat of Chentangyi on the northern line. Of course, the more than 10,000 soldiers and horses retained by the She family after their surrender were also rare elites, but the elite of the She family's army was not a blessing for the court.

Chen Zhi saw that Lin Fu and others were waiting inside the fence, and the refugees who had just settled in Moling County were lined up inside the fence gate with bamboo guns. He was furious and raised his stirrup. The silver spear pointed at Lin Bing behind the horse: "Lord Lin, what do you mean?"

"General Chen, what do you mean?" Lin Fu asked.

"Beside you, Zhao Qinmin stole official silver, robbed people's daughters, and framed prisons with swords and brushes to kill innocent people. He was prosecuted, and the evidence was conclusive. This division will take him back to the Yamen of Jiangning Mansion for trial..." Chen Zhi put on the shelf He took out the sea capture document issued by Jiangning Mansion, and read it out in cadence.

"Enough," Lin Fu listened impatiently to Chen Zhi's read, "The guards have the right to assist in the defense of the river estuary fence. If the documents are not signed by the inspector, Master Gu, who dares to take weapons and go further and kill Wu Wu. Pardon! All the soldiers, Zhang Xian..." Ji pointed at Chen Zhi and ordered. The eight guards and pawns on his side were scattered to the front side, untied the longbow from his back, took out the arrow feather and picked it up in his hand, pointing directly at Chen Zhi outside the fence gate.

At this time, Chen Zhi felt that the horse he was riding was too tall, and immediately made him a target for archery. After more than a dozen shields were erected in front of him, he said loudly behind the human wall: "Little Lin Bie, are you going to rebel? The arrow points to this department, be careful that this department wants you to be doomed and arrows to pierce your heart..."

"What are you doing with so much bullshit," Lin Bie said sharply, "You have the guts to rush into this door, and I will kill you. If the lawsuit hits the front of the Qinghe Palace, someone Lin is not afraid that you will survive and bite me!"

"You only have eight or nine people, so what kind of prestige do you have? Could it be that these refugees really listened to your words and dared to kill officers and soldiers?" The bare archers brought more than a hundred, and even if the arrows were shot at random, they would still have the upper hand.

Ignoring Chen Zhi who was outside the fence, Lin Fu went straight to the recruiting queue for refugees armed with bamboo guns, and said loudly, "A few dozen days ago, the night bandits attacked the camp, and my brothers and sisters and I were killed and injured more than 100 people. Is there anyone in Masi?"

"No one's here." The refugee replied in a loud and tidy voice.

"Jiang Ning's army and horse division falsely accused his beloved, despised the majesty of the inspector and envoy, and came here to arrest his beloved with illegal and disorderly orders. Do you allow him to come in?" Lin Fu asked again loudly.

"No." The refugee replied loudly.

"He is waiting for the force to invade and trample on the homes of me and my brothers, but he dares to kill without mercy with me?" Lin Fu asked again in a loud voice.

"Kill without mercy! Kill without mercy! Kill without mercy!"

Don't say that Chen Zhi's legs are weak, his face is depressed, and his courage is lost when he hears it outside the fence. Zhao Qinmin is also shocked when he hears it inside the fence. He thinks that these nearly two hundred people are really going to rush out with bamboo guns. In a narrow place, it may not be impossible to overthrow the soldiers and horses of Dongchengwei.

It's no wonder that Lin Fugan is so arrogant and domineering. He does have the qualification to be arrogant and domineering. How many people in this world can organize and train these refugees who have gathered together in just over a month. Like a rainbow?

A group of refugee recruiters armed with bamboo guns lined up to defend in front of the guards with bows and arrows. Lin Bie walked back to Zhao Qinmin and the others, looked at Chen Zhi outside the fence gate contemptuously, and said, "The ground in front of the gate is also guarded. Where the prison guards are assisting in the defense, I promise you to withdraw your troops and horses when you have half a stick of incense, and shoot to death when half a stick of incense is exhausted... Burn the incense and time it!

Immediately next to him, someone lit incense and inserted it under the simple lintel of the fence gate.

Even though Lin Fu was so powerful, Zhao Qinmin was worried that Chen Zhi would order a storm. Seeing the worried look on his face, Lin Fu chuckled and said in a low voice, "Chen Zhi doesn't dare to attack, Wang Xueshan wants to kill you, why should he come with a sword and a gun? It's just a matter of time."

Zhao Qinmin gave Lin Bie some insight, and instantly wanted to understand. He is also an extremely smart person, but it's all about himself, which makes him a mess, and some of the key points are far less clear than Lin Fu's. Wang Xueshan poured sewage on him to frame the accusation, only to reduce the credibility of his standing up to testify against Wang Xueshan's crimes; if Wang Xueshan used disorderly orders to openly rob people and fight with prison guards and refugees, he would leave others with a guilty conscience. , it is far less appropriate to send someone to assassinate; but Jiangning Prefecture issued a sea arrest document, knowing that Zhao Qinmin was in the estuary, but had to come to arrest them with pretense.

Chen Zhi brought so many people here, but he hoped that he could scare this side, but he couldn't. Of course, Chen Zhi didn't dare to charge hard, but instead calmed the momentum of this side.

Chen Zhi was in shock. He didn't know whether it was better to retreat or hold on for a while. The soldiers, horses and soldiers in front of the gate were also guilty. Lin Fu was in the street last night, and many of them saw it with their own eyes. Three tempers, regardless of Chen Zhi's order or not, some people began to sneak out of the field, at least avoiding the direction pointed by the arrow.

Halfway through the incense burning, Chen Zhi hadn't ordered to retreat, and half of the field in front of the fence was vacant. With such soldiers, it was hard to imagine that Chen Zhi could lead them to attack.
