Lord of the House

Vol 7 Chapter 15: Arrive in Jinhai

Leaving Jeju Port on Danluo Island on the 20th, Gu Junxun stood on the deck of the stern cabin, looking at Danluo Island, which was getting farther away, and asked Lin Fu quite puzzled: "I am a woman and know the bedside. The truth of not allowing others to sleep soundly, why is King Danlu not a little bit wary?"

Lin Fu smiled slightly and said with a smile: "Before you went to sea this time, how did you know it would be so convenient to borrow the west wind from Chongzhou to Danluo?"

For a long time, the political requirements of the Central Plains monarchy on these island countries in the vast East Sea were limited to submission. In order to show the magnanimity of a great country, the annual rewards were even far higher than the tribute, unlike Goryeo, which has been working hard all the time. Danluo directly became a direct territorial territory.

The Danluo people did not have much resistance to becoming a vassal of the Great Yue Dynasty. Besides, in the eyes of the world, the Thousand Mile Sea Area is like a gorge. Who would have territorial ambitions for the islands beyond the Thousand Mile Sea Area?

Gu Junxun nodded in understanding, but his eyes were still full of doubts, but he didn't ask any further.

Lin Bie turned to look at the shadow of the South Goryeo coast that emerged from the sea and the sky to the north. Under the setting sun, it seemed like a vaguely stern line.

Lin Fu did not intend to dock in South Goryeo during this trip. After leaving Danluo Island, the fleet headed west-south, so as to enter the Black Water Ocean as quickly as possible, and then take advantage of the current to head north quickly.

Under the circumstance that the troops in Chongzhou and Shengsi were very tense, Lin Fu still had to garrison the elite troops in Danluo. After the Sebao in Jeju Port was completed, he would also strengthen the garrison there.

The area of ​​Danluo Island itself is large enough, with hundreds of miles in length and breadth. There are arable plains and island land that can be defended. It is rich in products.

To put it simply, once the situation in the Central Plains deteriorates and the trade routes leading to the inland in Jiangdong County are cut off, commodities such as silk, cotton, sugar, porcelain, tea, and salt will fall into slow-moving sales (in fact, this trend is evident in the Cao Canal Road). It was very obvious after it was cut off), at that time, it was possible to organize sea ships to dump these commodities to Korea, Kyushu, Honshu and other places through Danluo Island, so that the currently prosperous Sangyuan silk factory, textile, The economic system of the workshops such as grain, salt, and porcelain production avoided collapse... Lin Fu seized this trade route, and naturally he could extract heavy taxes from it to support the army.

On the surface, supporting the Danluo people is beneficial to increase the internal friction of Korea. Once the Jiangdong Zuo army has enough strength, it is bound to turn Korea from a vassal of the Donghu people into a force that threatens Donghu from the side.

To put it in depth, once the situation in the Central Plains is corrupted to the point that the Jiangdong Zuo Army will not be able to gain a foothold at all, or after Emperor Chongguan or King Ning ascends the throne, they will be wise and wise, or they will eat shit. The land is too close, and it is not a good place to separate. Danluo Island, which is about three times the size of Xisha Island, is much more suitable.

*********

Leaving Danluo, entering the Heishuiyang Channel from the southwest, and then heading north, it is almost parallel to the west coast of the Goryeo Peninsula. At dawn on the 22nd, I saw the easternmost promontory of the Shandong Peninsula, turning to the northwest. At dusk, it passes through the waterway between Daqin Island and Dangji Island in the north of Dengzhou, and meets the cruise ship of Dengzhou Shuiying in the west waters of Daqin Island.

Compared with the three-masted and five-masted giant ships of the Jinhai, the two sloops of Dengzhou Shuiying are like clowns struggling in the wind and waves. went.

The Dengzhou water camp has 20 battalions and more than 12,000 soldiers. Its strength is the sum of the original Ninghai town water camp and Jiangning water camp.

Su Hu asked to build the Dengzhou water camp. Considering that Liaodong is connected to Guannai by land, it is thousands of miles away, and the roads are high and dangerous, and the sea route from Dengzhou to Jinzhou (now Dalian) in the southeastern corner of Liaoning is only more than 200. Here, to transport grain and grass into Liaodong by sea, the cost of land transportation is not required.

The Dengzhou water camp was originally built to transport the army; after the fall of Liaodong, in order to strengthen the containment of the eastern invaders who had invaded Liaodong, the status of the Dengzhou water camp became increasingly important.

In Li Zhuo's Pingluo strategy, it was expected that the Dengzhou Water Camp would develop a strange army that would attack the Donglu's flank.

However, in Li Zhuo's idea of ​​governing the army, the Dengzhou water camp was of the nature of crossing the sea and landing operations, rather than developing the ability to fight at sea or sailing far seas. The meaning of a large cruise ship at sea.

The main defense object of the Dengzhou Water Camp, the Donghu people did not even have the so-called maritime military force. Under such a tight military budget, there is no need for the Dengzhou Water Camp to invest heavily in the development of large cruise ships.

Seeing the two sloops of Dengzhou Water Camp walking away timidly, Ge Yuan smiled and said, "The entire division of Jinghai Water Camp is heading north, and the Dengzhou Army is also vulnerable..."

Lin Fu looked at the Liaodong Peninsula in the north. In the sunset light at dusk, the coastline of Jinzhoujiao was winding and charming. In order to guard against the Dengzhou army, the Donglu people had thousands of elite soldiers in the city of Jinzhou, and the city was also rare in Liaodong. —Speaking of which, this Jinzhou City was built by the Jingbei Hou Suhu, but it was taken away by the Donghu people without any effort.

At noon on the 24th, the fleet arrived at the Jinhai Sea, which was in the midst of severe cold.

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

I left Chongzhou on the 15th and arrived in Jinhai on the 24th. I had to deduct the three days I had to spend in Danluo, and I had to travel half a month on horseback, but it only took six days. .

The north is in the cold season, and the sea ice in the Bohai Sea has been sealed to the north of the Jinhai Sea, almost sealing the Wukou Port.

Sun Fengyi and Zhou Guangnan took a boat to Jinwei Island before noon to see Sun Shangwang. They didn't know that Lin Fu was coming, and neither Sun Shangwang nor the people in Jinhai got the news in advance.

It is necessary to go fast by sea, and there is no way for Chongzhou to notify them in advance, so they do not know that Lin Fu will be in Chongzhou for three months.

"Gong Tang is so dead, why didn't you send a letter from the south?" Sun Fengyi squatted on the stone foundation and chewed bitter tea leaves. He knew that Lin Bie was here with Sun Shangwang as the leader, and Lin Xuwen would be the first to do anything important. A group of people went to Sun Shangwang to discuss, Tang Haoxin died, and everyone was holding their breath, but when they calmed down, it was inevitable that they would be flustered.

Others don't know that Sun Fengyi and Zhou Guangnan are already figures in the core circle of Jinhai. Of course, they know that Tang Haoxin was forced to die on a hunger strike, and Liang's father and son led troops into Shandong. The situation is really worrying. .

Zhou Guangnan suppressed his voice and said, "Tang Haoxin's towering and mountain-like figure was pushed down when the officials said he pushed it down without any effort. What are we going to do in the future?"

"Effortless?" Sun Shangwang pressed his nose and snorted, as if he was disdainful of the emperor's imperial power, and said to Sun Fengyi, "If it's really effortless, then there's no need for such a generous reward..." Jin Hai continued from Lin's text, Almost all the officials of the Tang Department have been promoted.

"That's right, Gyeonggi still relies on this side," said Sun Fengyi, "but once the Liang family has a firm foothold in Shandong, things will not be so easy to handle..."

"It's useless for the Liang family to gain a firm foothold in Shandong. The Jiaolai River is so shallow and narrow, and they have to go through the central hills to lift water twice. Chen/Yuanliang, Du Juefu, Zhang Jinxian and others piled up their stalls and walked away, and Lu Guogong didn't catch him blind. , I'll cut your head off for you..." Sun Shangwang said, "The sea merchants in Hecang and Dengzhou have been in close contact these days, so don't let people loose their hearts, everyone is united, and the officials can't help us..."

"That's all there is to it now, and Lin Fuzun also said the same," Sun Fengyi nodded and said, but the worry on his face did not disappear.

Zhou Guangnan suppressed his voice and said, "Is there a boat going south, or why don't you go to Chongzhou in person?"

"..." Sun Shangwang knew that the people in Jinhai were held together because of Lin Bing. Like Cangnan Sun's family and Jinhai Zhou's family, before the year before the previous year, they were not very famous clans in Hejian Mansion. The Sun and Zhou families quickly rose to become the leading clan in Hejian Mansion, not because of anything else, but because of Lin Bing's support behind them.

Lin Fu's prestige cannot be replaced by Lin Xuwen.

Datong has been besieged for almost three months, and the northern Jin area has been destroyed in a mess. Some Donglu cavalry intends to enter Yannan from the opening in the northern Taihang Mountains. Fortunately, they are blocked by Li Bing's troops, but the situation in Yanbei can not be avoided. Like last year's rotten to the end, the key depends on whether Chen Zhihu can hold on in Datong.

The father and son of the Liang family took a break after winning Linqing, and fought continuously from the 14th day, from Xiajin, Pingyuan, Linyi, Jiyang, Jinan, chasing the main force of the Tianbao rebels~www.wuxiaspot.com~ almost every day There is a great battle, and every battle must be overcome, and the enemy will be defeated.

The rebel leader Ge Ping could not resist, and on the 21st, he led the main force of the Tianbao Refugee Army to withdraw from Jinan and hurriedly retreated south.

The father and son of the Liang family led their troops into Shandong on the sixth day of the first lunar month, and within half a month they regained the northeastern border of Shandong.

With the support of the official family, and the Liang family is also a powerful family, there are people, power, money, and elite soldiers. Qingzhou wanted to stop the Liang family from controlling the Jiaolai River, but it didn't seem to last long.

Once the Jiaolai River is under the control of the Liang family, the source of the Jinhai grain route will not be in the hands of this side. What is the style of Liang's family, he has learned it as early as when Liang's father and son were in charge of the Yanbei Frontier Army. The businessmen of Lai and Hejianfu did not go bankrupt because of this. Even if it is good luck, how can it be compared with Lin Fu's reputation?

At this time, the Beishan Watching Post on Jinwei Island issued a police whistle, and signaled with a flag that a large fleet was coming from the southeast.

"I'm afraid it's coming from Chongzhou?" Sun Shangwang stood up suspiciously and looked towards the southeast. He didn't forget to strengthen the vigilance of the island guards. The situation in Shandong is very complicated.

Sun Shangwang, Sun Fengyi, Zhou Guangnan and others went up to a high place and saw a mast and sails floating above the sea level.

Sun Fengyi was old and had good eyesight, so he exclaimed happily: "The five-masted ship is a ship from Chongzhou, ah... The first five ships are all five-masted ships. How could Chongzhou have so many ships at this time?" Thinking of a possibility, I met Zhou Guangnan and Sun Shangwang face to face, and seeing the surprise and joy in their eyes, I knew that their thoughts were the same as myself: Lin Bie came over.
