Shen Jiahe, Shen Bi and Shen Zhang looked at Fang Tianlin in unison. Although Shen Huang didn't know what was going on, he also noticed the subtle behavior of his father and the two brothers, so he glanced calmly, and immediately As if nothing happened, he slowly enjoyed the delicious food in front of him.

As soon as Fang Tianlin entered the courtyard, No. [-] flew from the roof to his shoulder with a soft cry.Fang Tianlin turned into the guest room at the side, unfolded the letter paper by candlelight, and saw what was written on it, he couldn't help but move slightly, and after going out, he had returned to normal.

During the dinner, neither Shen Jiahe nor the triplets mentioned this matter, neither did Fang Tianlin, and the New Year's Eve dinner ended amidst laughter.

After returning home, seeing Shen Jiahe, who was a little drunk before, became very sober, Fang Tianlin sighed that he missed the good time, the next time he wanted to see his drunken wife, he didn't know that he would have to wait until the year of the monkey.This thought flashed by, and seeing the big and the young in front of him staring at him curiously, Fang Tianlin understood that his wife and son might have noticed something.

Seeing this, Fang Tianlin didn't hide anything, got up and looked around, and after confirming that there was no problem, he told them the latest news.

"Yanzhou Port was attacked, almost breached?" Shen Jiahe's face changed, there is Shen's fleet and Shen's shop there, if the port falls, those people will be in danger.Although the two sides didn't have much contact and relationship, even if there were casualties, he would not be inexplicably sad, but after all, he was a member of the Shen family, and the Shen family was responsible for them, so it was impossible to treat them as passers-by.

"Well, the news is so, you and Bi'er should take a look at it, and destroy it along the way." Fang Tianlin handed the small note in his hand to Shen Jiahe, got up and greeted No. [-] to enter the pigeon coop.The news came out in the morning that No. [-] had been flying almost non-stop all day long, even at night with faint light fluttering its wings. After a hard day, it had to be rewarded.

At this time, except for the homing pigeons that were outside, all the other pigeons had returned to their cages. The pigeons were very excited to see their friends who hadn’t seen them for a long time.

Fang Tianlin didn't think they were too noisy at all, so he gave each of them extra food. Of course, the water in front of No. [-] was the most and the best.It is today's hero, so it will naturally be rewarded.

Fang Tianlin returned to the study after No. [-] was settled.

"What do you think?" Fang Tianlin asked as soon as he sat down.

"Tianlin, if the sea road is completely blocked, things will be troublesome, and my family's business may be greatly affected. If this matter is not resolved, do you have a solution?" Shen Jiahe frowned, his expression was not very good.

"There is no other way but force to solve the problem, but there are many ways to solve it." Fang Tianlin was not too worried.

The distance between Linshan County and Yanzhou Port is not close, and there are two passes between Zhenning Pass and Jiayu Pass. Although these two passes are not open to the outside world, if they do not take action, there is still a certain threat to Linshan County. The problem is that there are two How could the defenders ignore it?If this is the case, the defenders of the two places will have no depth, and they will have to rest sooner or later. Unless someone rebels and prepares to cooperate internally and externally, it is impossible to sit idly by and ignore such a stupid thing in terms of the ability of Elder Su and General Gao to march and fight.

"Military force? Counting all the people in the army, we can pull out an army of several thousand people at most. It is no problem to defend the city. Except for the Shen family's guards and some soldiers and horses, the rest are temporarily It's not enough, we obviously can't do it, you want to..." Shen Jiahe's expression changed after hearing this.

"Well, it's exactly what you think. We can't do it on our own. We must rely on external forces. If foreign enemies invade from the sea, the navy stationed in Hong Kong will bear the brunt first, then Mr. Su, and then General Gao. Besides, There are also many local troops. However, the local forces are mixed, and it is better to count on us than to count on them. The key is how to cooperate with them, and no one is willing to do the business of making wedding clothes for others." After Fang Tianlin finished speaking, his eyes turned to only His waist-high sons, after thinking for a while, opened their mouths to explain the situation to them in detail, and then looked at them expectantly, encouraging them to express their opinions.

"Father, General Gao is under the control of Grandpa Gan. He probably won't send troops against us, and the capture of Linshan County is too troublesome. Although it is worth doing, it is definitely not now. It is estimated that he will attack us after the war is calmed down. At present, as long as we do a good job of defense, the chance of being captured is not high. I just don’t know what grandpa Gan is thinking. If there is no problem with him, Linshan County will not ignite the flames of war.” As the eldest brother of the three brothers, Shen Bi, Speak first.

"Judging from the news that came back one after another, Grandpa Gan and General Gao didn't attack the states and counties in the territory. Now that there is such a big threat, I don't see that they will take action in a few days, most likely with the power of thunder. Quickly unify the various local forces. Although the southwestern area is not as chaotic as the outside, it still has its own affairs, and there are too many voices, which is very unfavorable to the army's actions. It must be unified from top to bottom to fight the enemy with the highest efficiency." Shen Huang continued.

Facing the four pairs of eyes looking at him, Shen Zhang swallowed, a little stuck, and hesitated for a while before saying: "Now the troops are too scattered, and they are easy to be defeated individually. They must be unified as soon as possible."

"How to unify?" Fang Tianlin asked with great interest.

"I don't know." Shen Zhang replied very bachelorly, and the four of them laughed out loud, dispelling the solemn atmosphere before.

Enough laughing, let's get back to business.

After Fang Tianlin whispered to Shen Jiahe for a while, they reached an agreement that tonight would be an assessment of what the sons had learned in the past few years. The two planned to listen to the thoughts of the little ones first, so they signaled them to continue.Next is Shen Bi and Shen Huang's special session. As for Shen Zhang, he can only make occasional comments. Once things other than the military are involved, his eyes are completely darkened and he can't intervene.

Now the Shen family is not as good as before, there are not only recruiting money and treasures to guard the door, but also personal guards outside, not to mention that it is now in a barren valley, the safety issue is guaranteed, and the sound insulation effect of the Shen family house is good. Fang Tianlin and the others didn't avoid talking too much. They discussed it all night and didn't fall asleep until after midnight.

Before going to sleep, Shen Jiahe said with emotion: "Tianlin, the three kids in our family are really better than the other. Even I may not be able to think so far. With the cooperation of the three of us, the countermeasure is almost out. I'm ashamed of myself."

"Bi'er and the others are our children, can they be bad?" Fang Tianlin was full of pride, "But then again, thanks to our proper guidance, otherwise the sons don't know what they will grow up. If they go astray, it will definitely be A disaster."

These words are very useful to Shen Jiahe, he will not underestimate himself, but he does not dare to take it too seriously, he is very self-aware, he can't teach others, but he can still be competent in teaching people to deal with things, and his sons can grow up healthily, he has his share of credit .

The two of them slowly fell asleep while talking.

Silent all night.

The next day, as soon as Fang Tianlin woke up, he went to the pigeon loft to check on No. [-]. After careful inspection, he was sure that there was no problem with it, so he released it and returned with a letter.

Since Yanzhou City is no longer safe, the Shen family's personnel left there will naturally have to make further arrangements. If the situation is serious, then other evacuations will have to be abandoned, and unnecessary sacrifices are completely unnecessary.

After that, the five members of the Shen family were immersed in the New Year's atmosphere, and no one showed any worries about the future on their faces, not even the most heartless Shen Zhang showed any clues.

As Fang Tianlin and the others expected, after feeling the threat from the sea, General Su and General Gao quickly took action.About the almost fall of Yanzhou Port, Mr. Su was the first to get the news. The situation is urgent. This time the defenders of the two places are equivalent to joining forces. Their actions are very consistent, and they quickly launched an offensive against the area under their jurisdiction.

Relying on the prestige of the troops, the area under the jurisdiction of the two armies is not small. After such actions, the territory has expanded a lot in an instant.They are local defenders. Unlike the invasion of foreign troops, most towns almost surrendered without a fight. When they saw the border guards make a move, they had no intention of resisting at all.

They are all from their own family, and the people have changed their names and surnames to the ownership of the town, and the people have not even reacted at all.For them, as long as it is not a hostile country and does not affect their lives, it doesn't matter whoever occupies it.

General Su and General Gao didn’t do anything to the rest of the towns that refused to surrender at first. They just besieged and did not attack. It is a peaceful transfer of power.

Of course, it's not without trouble. Civil officials don't have much to do, but generals do.Not everyone is willing to give up the power they have already obtained. The local troops can't face the defenders of the upper border, but they can take away a group of people and leave only an empty camp for them.

The two border generals couldn't help gnashing their teeth when they heard the news.The fact is that there are some disgusting people, but they can't find a man to go after them, so they can only let these people go away.They can coerce the local troops to flee, so don't expect them to be kind. If the order is not issued quickly, many places will suffer. Even so, there are still some areas that have suffered military disasters.

In this chaotic world, these things cannot be avoided. Even if Mr. Su and the others don't do anything now, they still cannot avoid it in the future, and it might even cause more trouble.

Fang Tianlin had been waiting for news from Mr. Su and the others. When he learned that the two had begun to unify their respective jurisdictions, he also took the opportunity to launch an offensive. First he took down the relatively peaceful Wangshan County, and then he combined the forces of the two counties in his hands to directly confront the two counties. Shilin County, where the life is relatively poor and the folk customs are more sturdy.

Fang Tianlin didn't want to waste his troops, so he directly used large-scale crossbows and other siege weapons as a deterrent, and there were well-regulated archers and cavalry in the formation. It's time for a counterattack.Although the troops led by Fang Tianlin did not have much impact, casualties on both sides were inevitable.

Except for some soldiers, in fact, most people have never seen real death. At least this kind of close combat is the first time they have encountered it. No matter how timid people are, after experiencing such battles, their blood will be aroused. The resistance of the local troops in Shilin County is not strong, otherwise the situation is really difficult to deal with.

It is always necessary to face the danger of being a soldier, and it is better to know it when it happens now than to go to the battlefield later.

After taking down two neighboring counties, Fang Tianlin Mingjin withdrew his troops and stopped coveting the remaining counties. It wasn't that he didn't want it, but that he was lacking in strength.With his current strength, it is not impossible to capture some towns, but the problem is that he will not be able to defend them after they are captured. In this case, why should he bother.

However, Shilin County and Wangshan County are different. These two places are easy to defend and difficult to attack. It does not mean that the city is not easy to occupy, but as long as the defense line is set up at the entrance and exit, it will take a lot of trouble to seize it.

Fang Tianlin led the army to take these two counties so easily, mainly because of the convenience of the location.Not to mention Shilin County, this county is a well-known poor county nearby, and it can't do anything if it wants to. Wangshan County has this ability, but how can the county magistrate and local forces bother to fix this?The local troops wanted to take care of it, but the problem was that they didn't have much money at all, so they were powerless about it.

After the completion of the incident, Fang Tianlin immediately organized manpower to start building fortifications, and at the same time began to integrate the military administration of the two counties.This time, it was not as gentle as Linshan County. Those who should be transferred were transferred, those who were dismissed were dismissed, and some officials and gentry who were full of public dissatisfaction were sent to prison directly.

After Fang Tianlin's vigorous rectification, the officials in the two counties were eliminated immediately, and the local forces were much more peaceful. No one dared to use their brains at this juncture.

Landlords and squires in Linshan County saw the methods of the Shen family, and all of them became extremely obedient.They couldn't help but rejoice that the Shen family settled in Linshan County. After seizing the power in Linshan County, all previous affairs were wiped out. Otherwise, it would be hard to say what would happen.

Gathering the manpower and material resources of the three counties, Shilin County and Wangshan County's external simple defense line was quickly built, and then it was reinforced, which was not so urgent, and a lot of labor was withdrawn.

When General Gao heard about this, he couldn't help but look puzzled. After pondering for a while, he shook his head.The Shen family really knows how to take advantage of loopholes, this is the best time to do something, even if he intervenes, it will be too late.

Judging from the Shen family's previous actions, it is not surprising to have such an action. What is worth noticing is why the news was delivered so quickly.General Gao would not think that this was all a coincidence, the Shen family had agreed early on to strike at this time, the possibility of this was too small.

"Father, what will the Shen family do in the future?" Knowing that the Shen family occupied two more counties, Su Yun's face was serious.The Shen family moved so quickly, this emerging force must not be underestimated.The Su family had foreign enemies in front of it, and internal strife in the back, and a force suddenly emerged, which had to be taken seriously. The trouble is that this is the Shen family, and it is really difficult to decide how to handle the Su family's kindness to the Su family. so sure.

"Second, what do you think?" Mr. Su ignored his third son, Su Yun, and asked his second son, Su Feng.

"This Shen family's actions are too unexpected, don't touch them casually." Su Feng's eyes were deep and his face was calm.He is doomed to have no children in his life, and the third younger brother also has few heirs. Now that he has a son, it is unlikely that he will adopt a stepchild. Adopt their children?

It's not that there is no solution, but this kind of solution is not a last resort, not to mention him, even the old lady who is eager to have a grandson will not agree.If they really want to do that, how will their brothers deal with themselves in front of their wives?Therefore, to persuade the pregnant fruit, the method of conceiving offspring by oneself is only possible to consider when the situation is desperate. Under normal circumstances, most of them would rather adopt children than adopt this kind of plan.

Su Feng had never met the Shen family, and he had no chance to meet Fang Tianlin, the only one who had ever been to Zhenning Mansion to entrust his father with errands, but he had heard of many things that the Shen family gave to the Su family in private, and even used many of them himself. He knew a lot about the miracle of the Shen family.Previously, because the Su and Chen families had a good relationship, and the Su family was the beneficiary, they would not casually disclose the news. Moreover, the items that the Shen family brought out were still within the acceptable range at that time, but now they are different.

Food, medicine and weapons are nothing more than that. There are many people with this ability, and if they are separated, they can be found by just looking for them.Although the quality is not as good as that of the Shen family, at least the difference is not too big. What really impresses him is his ability to govern and manage the army.A strong country is nothing more than these two points, and the rest, such as doing business, are just benefits and cannot play the role of the mainstay.

With both of them, and three counties as support, it is really difficult to predict the future development momentum of the Shen family.If the Su family is the dominant family in the southwest region, then the Shen family, a force that has just risen recently, needn't be taken seriously. At that time, for the sake of the Shen family's kindness to the Su family, these three counties should be assigned to them.Now, everything is hard to say.

Although General Gao's troops guarding the Jianing Pass are not as strong as the Su family's, the gap is not too great. Once they make a move, both sides may suffer.The generals of the two places are not stupid. Now that the enemy countries are staring at each other, there is no other choice but to form an alliance. It is impossible to fight against each other, right?Don't forget that besides Meng, there are still enemies haunting the sea. Yanzhou Port almost fell a few days ago. After such an incident, the navy's strength has been severely reduced, but it is very troublesome to replenish it.

The navy is different from the army. The army can be formed by recruiting random people. At most, the strength is not good.

Once Yanzhou Port is seized, it will only be a matter of time before Yanzhou City falls. The only advantage is that they can retreat calmly. This is the biggest difference from inland cities.Building a city by the port is not a stupid thing to do when you are full and have nothing to do. It has strategic significance.

However, such a pattern shows that the geographical conditions of the port are unique. The city directly blocks the pier in all directions. Enemies from the sea can only pass through this place if they want to go ashore. As long as the port city is strong and supports the arrival of reinforcements, the safety of the inland area can be guaranteed.

This is undoubtedly the layout of Yanzhou City, but once it falls, the Su family will need to divide their troops to garrison along the coast, and the troops will not be able to concentrate at that time, which is not good news.After weighing the pros and cons, the Su family has secretly started to support the navy stationed in Hong Kong. Internal fighting is a matter for the future, and fighting against foreign enemies is the most important thing now.

Therefore, the Shen family's action was just right. Now in the entire southwest region, no one has time to talk to them, and they can just let them develop dully.

For the opinion of the second son, Mr. Su agreed in his heart, but he didn't show it on the surface, and turned his eyes to the youngest son Su Yun, the meaning couldn't be more obvious.

"Father, I'm not an ungrateful person for your son. I'm not suitable to express my opinion on this matter." Su Yun expressed his attitude immediately.

"Aside from this point, what do you think?" Elder Su asked again, not intending to let go of this youngest son who seemed to be rushing the ducks to the shelves later.

"I'm not as good as my second brother in marching and fighting, so I'll share my opinion from other aspects." There were only three of them, father and son, in the study, and Su Yun didn't show restraint, and said directly, "The Shen family is doing business. I don’t need to talk about my talent in other aspects, the three of us combined can’t keep up. This was very important in the past, but now this situation is a bit unavoidable.”

"The commercial roads on land are blocked, and if we come to the sea again, the goods sold by the Shen family can only be circulated in the southwest area, and it will become very difficult to sell to other places. I am interested in the Shen family who provide logistics The ability, the ability to grow food with one hand, plus the various daily necessities produced, and the weapons that have not been sold outside, it is simply an ideal military logistics support base. From the current point of view, it is beneficial to us to make friends with the Shen family. No harm. The only thing we have to worry about is the pressure that the strong rise of the Shen family will bring to us. However, even without the presence of the Shen family, we will not be able to dominate the family. It is better to join hands with the Shen family, at least when the food and grass are insufficient, we can There is a turnaround opportunity."

After the father and son discussed, Mr. Su finally made a decision, and he would follow the original plan. The Shen family would make friends if they could, and it was not a last resort, so don't break the face with the Shen family.

Fang Tianlin should be thankful that Mr. Su and the others did it at the beginning of the first month of the first month, otherwise they would not be able to survive this year.Even so, Fang Tianlin only rested until the third and fourth day of the junior high school. After the fifth day of the new year was two counties too many, not only him, but many members of the Shen family lineage were too busy to touch the ground.

After finally gathering all the forces in the two counties, and the initial defense line was established, Fang Tianlin and Shen Jiahe began to work on forming a new government again.

In the past, there was only one Linshan County, and all these things could be dealt with, but now it is not possible, and another yamen must be set up above the county yamen.

After discussion, Fang Tianlin and Shen Jiahe decided on the name of the new force "Hua".Of course, Fang Tianlin would not be so stupid as to call the country blatantly. There are only three counties with a population of about [-]. If such a tiny place is called a country, it can only be realized in the modern era of peace. Who would dare to do so here? Do it, and wait to be targeted by others.This is simply risking the world's disgrace. If someone's brain is short-circuited for a while, I am afraid that anyone with a little influence will get involved.

Fang Tianlin replaced all the troops under the Shen family with a unified flag. The back of the flag is a specially designed "Hua" character, and the front is the number of each army. is also like this.

However, there is no rush, and old equipment needs to be replaced slowly.

The affairs of the army are relatively simple. After all, there are not many soldiers and only a few positions. What is causing headaches is the establishment of the new Yamen. There are not a few people who are eyeing this piece of fat. Fang Tianlin and Shen Jiahe had to think carefully.
