Lord of the House

Song Jiabei returned to Xuzhou, and it was already late January.

The spring is cold, and the Si River has just thawed. The rivers are crowded with boats that transport grain, wood, iron, coal, and cloth.

The capacity of inland river boats is small. Even so, the transportation efficiency is high, which is incomparable to that of a camel or a horse.

After the recovery of Xuzhou, the Huaisixi River was frozen, and the scarce materials could only be transported up by mules and horses, but a large number of materials needed for reconstruction were gathered in Siyang, Shanyin, Huai'an, Shukou and other towns along the Huai River. .

The river just thawed after catching up with the beginning of spring. Such a huge amount of materials will be sent to Xuzhou together in a short period of time. Thousands of boats are launched together. The sails on the river are like forests. It is rare to see such a spectacle.

Song Yi is the son of Song Shixing, the head of the Song family. He was twenty-one years old at the time. Although he grew up in the camp, he has followed his father to manage military affairs in the army in recent years, but he has never experienced cruel wars. This trip to the north was his first time to leave Fujian, and he felt a lot of freshness. Entering the Huaihe River from Huaikou, he saw that the cities along the banks stood like mountains, and the flat fields were like Chou. , far from being able to compare with Fujian, only to truly realize that the power of the Central Plains is beyond the reach of eight Fujian.

If the Central Plains falls into a state of disintegration, if Bamin can succeed, but as long as a little strong person rises, the expansion of Bamin can be curbed. It was not accidental that Li Zhuo was hindered before, and Huaidong was hindered at this time.

Song Yi has not had a deep feeling in Quanzhou after traveling thousands of miles and reading ten thousand volumes of books. This time, he went north by sea boat and felt very deep. It was the Lin Zhengjun-class sea ship they were on that subverted his previous understanding.

In the past, Jin'an and Quanzhou could build ships with a capacity of 3,000 shi at most. In their opinion, they were already giant ships, but Chongzhou Shipyard can now build six Lin Zhengjun-class ships with a capacity of 20,000 shi each year.

Going out to sea from Zhuxi County, Yizhou, sailing north, entering the Huaihe River in six days, carrying more than 10,000 bags of rice with the boat, it is hard to imagine how much manpower and material resources it will take to transport so much grain to Huaikou by land.

Ships were moored in Guanyun, and bulk cargo had to be transferred from Guanyun. Song Jia, Song Yi and other Song sons came to Siyang by river boat. Seeing that the river in Sishui was congested, they changed to horse-drawn carriages, mules and horses to travel north. Yongxing entered Xuzhou City on January 28 in the third year of Yongxing.

At this time, Xuzhou City was celebrating the marriage of Lin Fu and Liu Miaozhen.

When we went south, Xuzhou City had just been recovered. It was dilapidated and desolate. Now that we return to Xuzhou, the city has not been renovated on a large scale, but the weather is very different.

In order to relieve the pressure of food, a large number of refugees accumulated in the city were evacuated to the two cities of Suining and Suyu in the south; military camps were also built outside the city to reduce the pressure on this dilapidated city.

As soon as the population pressure is reduced, the order in the city is greatly improved, and the streets are more organized than before. After the beginning of spring, the river thawed, and the warships of the Jinghai Third Water Battalion had entered Weishan Lake outside Xuzhou City. The military pressure directly faced by Xuzhou City was greatly relieved. A rare smile spreads.

Lin Fu held a banquet at Huzhuang on the shore of Shigou Lake to entertain Song Yi and other Song family members. Lin Fu and Song Jia also had two months apart. , First there was some intense love, and then the parting and the divorce.

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

At night in early spring, the cold is still quite cold, and the brazier is burned in the room, which is as warm as spring.

During this period of time, Song Jia ran north and south, and it was also very hard, her chin was much thinner, and when she returned to Lin Fu's side, she lay lazily, so tired that she didn't want to get up, thinking of Shicai's style, the corners of her mouth Yan Ran, with boundless style, listened to the wind blowing the garden trees outside the window, so she put on a thin shirt, lay on Lin Bie's chest, and said lazily, "It's only been two months since you left, but you've already enjoyed it all. Yan Fu, I'm afraid that I'll leave it somewhere, and I won't pay attention to it any more..."

"Is there?" Lin Bie smiled and put his hands on Song Jia's waist. The waist was slender, and below it was the plump buttocks. When he patted it lightly, the buttocks/flesh trembled slightly, which was especially attractive. , "I always think that you can come back one day sooner..."

"The devil believes you," Song Jia wrinkled her nose and bit the flesh of Lin Bie's chest lightly, "I was outside, and there was only one thing I felt strange, how could you have such a thick skin to put the red jacket woman in the room inside?"

"Speaking of this, I feel wronged!" Lin Fu complained bitterly, and told Song Jia about Liu Miaozhen's recommendation as a concubine.

"Ah!" Song Jia also sat up with Lin Bing's chest in surprise. When she heard the news in Quanzhou, she felt very strange. She never thought that Liu Miaozhen would take the initiative to pierce this kind of window paper, and sighed. , "She is really a strange woman, Song Jia is not as good as her."

Song Jia has high self-esteem. Lin Fu hasn't heard her talk about convincing anyone. He smiled and said, "You all praise her as a strange woman who takes care of the overall situation. Have you ever thought that I will sacrifice a lot?"

"Sacrificing what, sacrificing color?" Song Jiajiao laughed, remembering another thing, and said, "I was thinking, if you and Miaozhen get married, she will tell you seriously that she married you for the sake of The overall situation is not about the relationship between men and women, and I want to drive you out of the bridal chamber, what should you do?"

"..." Lin Bie was slightly startled, and said, "Don't use this kind of words to scare me!" Thinking about it again, since piercing this kind of window paper, Liu Miaozhen has also been present during discussions. Although he respects Liu Miaozhen , but thinking that such a beautiful woman wants to marry her as a concubine, sometimes she can't help being anxious and eager, but Liu Miaozhen doesn't seem to have any abnormality.

Song Jia said, "You can't beat others, and they're not willing to convince you. Even if you want to be the overlord, you won't be able to do it..." Even thinking about this, it feels very coke, nesting in Lin Bing. Arms kept laughing.

"The overlord can't force her to bow, and you're afraid that you can't do it?" Lin Bie grabbed Song Jia's slender waist, pressed her under him, separated her feet, and forced to love again, Song Jia struggled To resist, it's just that she is not as strong as Lin Bie, she just thinks it is very interesting.

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

Although Liu Miaozhen was married to Lin Fu as a concubine, her identity was different from others. Emperor Yongxing also ordered the marriage and conferred Liu Miaozhen as Mrs. of Sizhou and Marquis of the Hometown. Although this marriage will not be lavishly arranged, it must be done according to the six ceremonies, and the wedding date is about mid-March.

The integration of Huaiyang Town into Huaidong had already begun. When Song Jia returned to Xuzhou, the Xuzhou War Training Academy had already been established, and it had been half a month since the first batch of battalion officers in Huaiyang Town were selected into the War Training Academy.

Huaiyang Town was officially incorporated into the Infantry Division of the Huaidong Army Division, and was organized into the Huaiyang Army of the Northern Army. Fengli Battalion, Changshan Battalion, Chongcheng Infantry Battalion, and Jinhai Battalion were all upgraded to the army, and Lin Fu was also in the Huaiyang Army. The battalion level promotes the system of military commanders and commanders to join the army, and assists the chief generals in issues such as operational command, daily training, and logistical supplies. The complete integration of the Huaiyang Army.

Lin Fu's title is also different than before, changed to the Duke of Pengcheng and the commander of the armies of Changshan, Fengli, Chongcheng, Jinhai, Huaiyang and Jinghai, and the commander of Zhejiang East, Huaidong and Xuzhou. He is also the prefect of Hailing, and has the title of right servant of the Ministry of War. Every time Lin Fu sees his long title, he can't help frowning for a long time.

Liu Miaozhen was willing to be the general and served as the commander of the Huaiyang Army, and Li Liang was the deputy commander. He organized five brigades, twenty-five battalions of infantry, five battalions of light cavalry, and one battalion of armored cavalry, with a total of 19,000 soldiers; At this time, the Xuzhou battalion army was compiled, with Ma Lantou as the commander and Liu Xilin as the deputy commander, and a total of twenty battalions of infantry.

In the system of the Huaidong Military Division, Fengli, Changshan, Chongcheng, Jinhai, and Huaiyang were the main forces directly under the direct control of the Military Division, and the marching troops were the local garrison troops.

Taking Xuzhou City as the boundary, the surrounding fortresses, including Peixian, Huaiyang, Xuzhou, Guangqi and other cities, are located on the periphery of the entire Xusi line of defense. However, the cities of Suining, Yusu, and Yizhou located to the south and east of Xuzhou City were relatively safe inside the defense line, and were mainly garrisoned by camp troops.

Through this deployment, the limited troops, armor, and ordnance resources can be effectively allocated to form a more stable line of defense.

In addition to strengthening the outer defense village with Xuzhou City as the core, a water village is also selected in the Weishan Lake in the north of Xuzhou City, between Guangqi and Pei County, and Yang Shi is the general to transfer one from the third water camp in Jinghai. Lushui Army and warships entered Weishan Lake as a very important supplement to Xusi's peripheral defense line.

In addition, nearly 30,000 soldiers were deployed in Xuzhou, Huaiyang, Peixian, Guangqi, Xiapi, Yizhou, Suining and other places, usually responsible for city repairs and assisting local construction of ditches, bridges and roads to resume production~www. wuxiaspot.com~ and carry out military hoarding around the outer defense villages such as Peixian and Guangqi to make up for the lack of military support.

In addition to the peripheral defense line with Xuzhou City as the core, the Fengli Army with Ning Zechen as the main general and the Jinghai Third Water Battalion and two brigades, nearly 30,000 soldiers and 20,000 soldiers from the Gongyi Battalion, were stationed in the Shanyang and Siyang are on the inside of the Xusi line of defense.

In order to make Huaidong have a relatively safe interior line, Lin Fu directly invested 60,000 soldiers and 50,000 soldiers on the Xusi defense line.

After the beginning of spring, the river thawed, and the Xu Si line of defense was stabilized. Yan Hu also deliberately reduced Xu Si's frontal military operations to avoid the battle of the large corps, but at the same time increased the resistance to the Yishan and Kunyu Mountains extending into eastern Shandong. The most important thing is to strengthen the siege of Miaoshan, Jinwei Island and other places near the center.

The warships built by Yanhu in a hurry are naturally unable to compete with the warships of Huaidong Water Camp at sea, but Jinwei Island and Miaoshan Islands are too close to the land, making them the deadliest of the troops and horses of the Miaoshan Special Camp. threaten.

The nearest island in the Miaoshan Archipelago is only twelve or three miles away from Dengzhou City. Even if a paddle boat goes out to sea, it only takes two sticks of incense to travel such a short distance. Once the Yanhu soldiers and horses go to sea, they can quickly land on these near-shore islands without entanglement with the Huaidong Shuiying warships on the sea.

In the first ten days of February, Nahe Xiongqi organized a group of fishing boats to transport more than 3,000 soldiers, raided the sea from the river bay on the inner side of Dengzhou, landed on the beach on the South Island of Miaoshan, forcibly captured the South Island, and destroyed the defense facilities of the South Island. They also organized fishing boats to bring the soldiers back to land at night.

It was because of the loss of more than 300 people in the camp at Miaoshan, Huaidong realized that Huaidong's warships could not give full play to their advantages at such a short distance from the land. My QT room is open! More vulgar official QT room number [9167] Click to enter
