Lord of the House

Dong Yuan was supported by Weiyang's salt merchants, and the news soon spread to Xuzhou. This was mainly due to the expansion of Huaidong's forces. Weiyang's local forces wanted to infiltrate Huaidong, so he could only hold Dong Yuan's thick thigh.

The Huaiyang Army was completely integrated into Huaidong. On the surface, it looked calm, but there were definitely a lot of undercurrents behind the scenes.

Counting the Huaiyang Army, Huaidong has more than 100,000 elite soldiers on the bright side, leaping above all the armies, and under the control of Lin Biao alone, it is difficult for outsiders to understand. No idea, ghosts believe?

Weiyang Salt Business is a normal reaction.

"It's not surprising that Shen Rong and Dong Yuan urinate in the same pot!" Ye Junan and Gao Zongting came to Xingyuan to discuss matters, talking about Dong Yuan's support of Weiyang's salt merchants, and they were quite emotional. After learning about some inhumane secrets behind the rise of Huaidong, it is not difficult to understand why Shen Rong has always held a grudge against Huaidong. When Shen Rong was out of Dongyang Mansion, he was jointly suppressed by Gu Wuchen and Lin Tingli, and he could not grasp it at all. The military power of the Dongyang Army, but this is a small matter, official strife is the norm, and feuding is still the Hongzepu robbery.

"It's going to rain, Mother is going to get married, let them make trouble." Lin Fu said, he didn't expect Shen Rong to urinate in a pot with him.

"Weiyang's salt merchants must be taken seriously," Gao Zongting said with a frown. "This time, the salt merchants raised funds for Huaixi. On the one hand, Shen Rong was playing tricks behind the scenes, and Zhang Yan's support was not ruled out. But on the other hand, it can also be seen that Dong Yuan has a very deep foundation in Weiyang. He recommended Ding Zhiru to know Shouzhou, and after this salt merchant raised money, he also expressed that he would vigorously support any Weiyang official in Huaixi. From the beginning, I thought of using the resources of Weiyang House to consolidate the foundation of Huaixi. The current situation is that Weiyang House has financial resources; in the past few years, Weiyang House has also gathered too many refugees and refugees, and they can be moved to Huaixi for resettlement. This will provide Dong Yuan with the necessary Ding Zhuang in Huaixi's field..."

"Yeah, we can't let Huaixi's life be too easy!" Ye Junan said while sipping tea.

"There are two chess moves available now. The first is to slap the neck of the private salt, which will directly draw wages from the bottom of the pot, which will shake Weiyang's salt merchants' confidence in supporting Huaixi. The second is to strengthen their control over Hongzepu..." Gao Zongting said.

Taking Hongzepu as the division, the Jianghuai region east of Huaishan is divided into two major areas: Huaidong and Huaixi. Huaixi includes Luzhou, Dongyang, Shouzhou, and Haozhou. Xinyang Prefecture, which is located at the northern foot of Huaishan and Tongbai Mountain, originally belonged to Zhongzhou County. In the southern Henan area, due to the needs of the war, Xinyang Prefecture and the Guoyang area in the north of Huaihe River were all included in the jurisdiction of Huaixi.

The traditional Huaidong area includes Huaian, Hailing, and Weiyang. Weiyang is also known to later generations as Yangzhou. It is not only located in the key position of the north-south Caodao, but also because of the location of the two Huaihe Salt and Iron Division, where all salt merchants from all over the world gather here. , Fu Jia world.

The salt tax of Weiyang House, the tax of farmland tax, and the city's lijin were one of the most important sources of wealth for the imperial court. Therefore, no matter how hard Lin Fu made, it would be difficult for Weiyang House to be included in Huaidong's sphere of influence.

Weiyang Mansion and Haozhou Mansion face each other diagonally across Hongzepu. Interestingly, Huai'an Mansion and Dongyang Mansion also face each other across Hongzepu - now Weiyang Salt Merchant chooses to support Dong Yuan, while Dongyang Mansion is clearly subordinated Huaixi is under the control, but he always vents his anger in the same nostril with Huaidong.

Huaidong strengthens its control over Hongzepu, one is to strengthen the connection with Dongyang House, and the other is to weaken the connection between Weiyang House and Huaixi Haozhou House.

Hongzepu is thousands of miles wide, and the Huaihe River flows in and out. It borders Siyang, Sizhou, Haozhou, Shiliang, Jinhu and other counties, and is under the jurisdiction of Huaian, Haozhou, Dongyang and Weiyang.

Previously, various prefectures under the jurisdiction of Hongzepu mainly set up checkpoints to govern the main waterways entering and leaving Hongzepu. Huai'an Prefecture has set up inspection divisions at the mouth of Xiahuaikou and Baitang River to manage ships entering and leaving Hongzepu.

In addition to being the core waterway linking east, west, north and south, Hongzepu is also rich in fishery resources. During the chaos in Huaisi, hundreds of thousands of fishermen lived in Hongzepu.

There are large and small sandbars and lake islands in Hongzepu. There are more than 30 water villages and fishing villages of original size. There are more fishermen living along the coast.

Liu An'er's uprising initially relied on the forces of the Hongzepu Water Village, relying on those fishermen who were exploited by heavy fishing lessons and taxation, and then developed into a catastrophe that swept the Central Plains.

After the Huai Si War, the water village forces in Hongzepu suffered a devastating blow, and the number of fishermen also dropped sharply. However, after Lin Fu ruled Huaidong, it was ordered to reduce or exempt the fishing class in the lake area under the jurisdiction of Huai'an Prefecture, and only the city tax was levied. The fishery fishing in Shanyang, Siyang and other places has recovered.

The two points that Gao Zongting said, after the construction of the seawall, the outflow of private salt from the Lianghuai Salt Works is basically under the control of Huaidong, but the pockets have not been tightened for the time being, but the control of Hongzepu has just started. Head, I didn't have time to go deeper.

Lin Bie frowned and asked Liu Miaozhen sideways: "Speaking of Hongzepu, probably no one is more familiar with Huaiyang generals, can you recommend a few battalion generals and sentry generals to be sent to the Baitanghe Inspection Department! Or can the Third Water Battalion set up a sub-battalion at the mouth of the Baitang River?"

Song Jia said next to him, "Nowadays, the forces of the water village are on the rise in Hongzepu, whether it is to suppress or support them, so that they obey the jurisdiction of the government. I heard that there is still some controversy in the Huai'an Palace. I think the Ministry of Military Intelligence can assign a commander Enlisted in the military to specialize in..."

The power of the water village should not be underestimated. Liu An'er used the power of the Hongzepu water village to stir up a catastrophe, and the Taihu water village forces, one led by Cheng Yiqun to the sea, once became an important supplementary force for the East China Sea bandits, and the other was the Bai Nao Army. , laying the foundation of the Hanghu Army and the Navy - so the Huai'an House is extremely sensitive to the water villages in Hongzepuli, but on the other hand, the fishermen living in the villages are a tradition that has been difficult to change for thousands of years.

Song Jia said there was a dispute. In fact, the Huai'an government insisted on suppressing the rise of the Hongzepu water village, and the Weiyang, Dongyang, and Haozhou government also had the same opinion, but the matter was detained by Lin Fu and had not yet been dealt with. Speaking of which, the water village forces rising on Hongzepu now also have some connection with the Huaiyang Army, and many of the water village forces that have risen again are themselves gathered by the scattered and defeated refugee army generals returning to their hometowns.

These people did not want to be involved in the war again, and they could only make a living in Hongzepu when they escaped, and they could only temporarily live in Hongzepu because they were afraid that the government would investigate the crime of the convicted thieves.

Song Jia meant that instead of suppressing, it would be better to give Huaidong control and use.

Hongzepu is under the jurisdiction of the four prefectures, and each has its own jurisdiction over the lake area, and Huaidong cannot directly reach out to the jurisdiction of the other three prefectures. After all, the jurisdiction of the four prefectures over Hongzepu is still superficial, and if they can control the power of the water village in Puli, they actually control Hongzepu.

"It's okay to do this for the time being. The suitable candidates are still selected from the Huaiyang Army..." Lin Fu looked at Liu Miaozhen and said.

Liu Miaozhen nodded. In front of Lin Bie, she was not as embarrassed as the wedding date was approaching.

After being incorporated into Huaiyang Town, the generals who had been disbanded wanted to return to the camp. After all, it was too hard to make a living in Hongze Pu, but Huaiyang Town was only too crowded at the time, so Liu Miaozhen and the others never nodded. , so that the scattered generals were incorporated into Huaiyang Town. Now that this arrangement is made, it is not like letting them go.

These days, on the one hand, Lin Fu selected generals and officers from the armies under the jurisdiction of Huaidong to be filled into the Huaiyang Army; Some people are also allowed to retire and become local officials-every aspect promotes Huaiyang's complete integration into Huaidong, and tries not to make Huaiyang generals feel that they will be excluded and suppressed.

The disaster in Huaisi has made the prefectures and counties around Hongzepu have deep grievances with the water village forces, and they have done their best to suppress Hongzepu fishermen over the years. Some things are also difficult for Lin Bie to control. At this time, considering the appointment of Huaiyang Army General to administer Hongzepu, it is also a consideration of balance. After all, Hongzepu's fishery resources must be used for thousands of miles.

Lin Fu and Gao Zongting said again: "The fishermen are difficult to control~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The power of the water village is not controlled by the government, and many people have not considered the fundamental reason-Pu, which is the waterfront. There is no embankment by the water. The water level rises and falls in spring and autumn, and the lake area is uncertain. Ge Siyu has surveyed the Pudi at the mouth of the Baitang River. The lake area changes in the spring and autumn for more than 20 miles, and this does not include the year of the great flood. Without land, if you don’t live in a village, you will not be able to adapt to the fluctuating water conditions, and you will have no fixed place to live. It won't be a problem anymore..."

Liu Miaozhen was also born in a water village, and had a deep affection for Hong Zepu. Back then, when he fought with his father and uncle, he also wanted to live and work in peace and contentment.

After discussing matters here, Gao Zongting, Ye Junan and others said their goodbyes and left, Song Jia stopped Liu Miaozhen and said, "Little Madam said that after lunch, she is going to swim in the lake, and Miss Liu will come with you, so let's stay and eat together. "

"Okay." Liu Miaozhen replied.

Although there is still more than a month left for the wedding, Song Jia and Su Mei often invite Liu Miaozhen to get together with their names, which is much more intimate than before.

"The spring breeze is warm, it's really a good season to swim in the lake, it sounds lazy in one's bones." Lin Bie said with a stretched waist.

"Sir, you can promise to accompany Li Wei to Tongshan to inspect spring farming in the afternoon, how can you let the lake tour go to waste?" Song Jia said, "Li Wei has sent people here twice, maybe before he goes to Tongshan, there are still others. Discuss the matter with you, you can go first."

"If I can't swim into a lake, I can't even catch a meal?" Lin Fu repeatedly cried out in grievance.

After driving Lin Fu away, Song Jia dragged Liu Miaozhen to the inner house. My QT room is open! More vulgar official QT room number [9167] Click to enter
