Lord of the House

Yang Shi was reluctant, so he followed Lin Fu's instructions and divided the remaining soldiers into two teams, led by him and Zhao Hu, who took turns on duty and training. In the early morning, Zhao Hu was on duty, and Yang Shi was also cruel. He wanted to train a team of elites to come out within three months to be proud. Early in the morning, he rushed the soldiers to wear armor and go to the open space outside the high wall to practice.

Changsun Geng, Shi, and Mao had never seen the guards and military guards practice so diligently in the past. Those officers who were not on duty came out curiously and stood on the sidelines.

Lin Fu first asked the Wu Peng boat parked on the island to send Lin Mengde back to the south bank. When the Wu Peng boat came back, he took Zhou Pu, Wu Qi, Lin Jingzhong and five others to practice chopping in the morning. With a bluer nose and more swollen eyes, the guard Wuzu left the prison hall and planned to take a boat to Chaotianyi Ferry to the north of Chaotiandang.

After walking out of the gate of the prison, the guards on the island stood giggling and watched Yang Shi practice martial arts in the open space. Lin Fu asked a guard guard to stay and pointed at the officers who were laughing at the side, saying, "You Stay and train them in the way of a military camp, if anyone is disobedient, add a stick..."

Before yesterday, the guard soldier was just an ordinary pawn. He was picked out by Yang Shi because of his strong body and rough practice in boxing, and he gave Zhao Hu a full beating. At night, he received a notice that he would be the guard for the prison officer, saying yes As an escort, he used a wooden knife to chop the prisoner upside down this morning. At this time, his body was sore and he had to **** the prisoner to the north bank to do business together, but he was suddenly designated to stay and train these officers... That guard Wuju was stunned there. I was at a loss and didn't know what to do. I wanted to tell the prisoner how he knew what the training of the military camp was. Seeing that the prisoner had already led the crowd to the pier, he didn't listen to his explanation at all, so he had to bite the bullet The eight or nine officers in front of him scolded: "All stand up..."

It was the panic brought by the clearing of the prison and the fear of the new prison officer, so that the officers did not dare to ignore the order of the military soldier. Stand up straight before you die. Self-confidence in this world is also easy to come by. Seeing the nervous and respectful expressions of the guards, this guard soldier relaxes in his heart, thinking/training these tortoise sons is also simple. , I tried my best to recall how I was trained when I first entered the barracks...

Regardless of what was behind him, Lin Fu got on the boat with Zhou Pu, Lin Jingzhong and four other guards and soldiers. After getting on the boat, he said to Zhou Pu and Lin Jingzhong, "Don't say that you need to practice the servants. In the future, the prisoners in the prison will also need to practice to a certain extent. There is a lot to do, take it step by step.”

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

There is a waterway of nearly 40 miles from Prison Island to Chaotianyi Station on the north bank. When the boat arrives at Chaotian Station Ferry, I can really feel that there are more refugees this year than in previous years. The prefectures and counties along the river strictly prevent the refugees from crossing the river. A large number of refugees stay on the north bank of the river. Young and strong men are unwilling to beg for food. Most of them go to the ferry terminal to see if they have any energy to do. The strong stick of work, the cold spring weather, all the clothes are ragged. Lin Fu and the others came to the shore, and the power sticks rushed over. Before they could ask for work, the four guards jumped on the pier and drove them away.

The alert at Chaotianyi Ferry was also tighter than before. Lin Fu was tall and sharp-eyed. He saw Moling County Hufang Book Office and two soap-clothed yamen standing at the end of the ferry waiting, and waved, "Chen Shuban, let you wait for a long time... …”

"I can't talk about it, how dare Chen to neglect the things Master Chen ordered?" Chen Shuban and the yamen came over to give Lin Fu a salute.

Lin Fu and Moling County Magistrate Chen/Yuanliang agreed that he and Lin Jingzhong came to the north bank to select able-bodied people from the refugees to join the Jiyun Society as a force. At the appointed time, Chen/Yuanliang specially asked the office of the county housekeeper to lead the yacha to the north bank to listen to Lin Fu's arrangement.

"Jingzhong, you accompany Chen Shuban and two yamen elder brothers to have a meal and rest first, and then talk about other things in the afternoon," Lin Fu patted Chen Shuban's shoulder and said, "I still have some small things to do, I will be here at noon. I'm sorry I can't accompany you to dinner..."

"Lord Lin is busy with urgent matters, don't worry about us." Chen Shuban said.

Lin Fu asked the four guards and soldiers to follow Lin Jingzhong and them, and Wu Qi left first after landing.

Lin Fu and Zhou Pu found a tea shed to drink tea in the north of Chaotianyi Ferry. The tea shed was very simple. A few bamboo poles were inserted into the ground to support a thatched roof. There is wind leaking in.

In the cold spring, apart from Lin Fu and Zhou Pu, no one else was blowing the cold wind in the tea shed. After drinking a bowl of tea, Wu Qi brought Cao Zi'ang and Hu Qiaozhong over.

"Brother Lin..." Hu Qiaozhong called enthusiastically after not seeing Lin Bie for a long time.

"It's thin again, it's dark again," Lin Bie put his hands on Hu Qiaozhong's shoulders, thinking about him, and said, "Enze is on the south bank. After crossing the river, you can meet."

Among the Chongzhou meat ticket teenagers, Hu Qiaozhong and his cousin Hu Qiaoguan and Chen Enze are the most courageous and the most volatile. Lin Fu took Chen Enze by his side, and this time on Changshan Island, Hu Qiaozhong was also with him. Cao Zian is working on the island.

Lin Bie asked Cao Zi'ang to sit down and talk: "Master Cao, what did you get here?"

"Just call my name," said Cao Zi'ang, "I made an appointment to meet at Chaotianyi Station today, but I almost missed the trip. There was a fishing ban at Hong Zepu, and we almost made trouble. We took an extra day's detour!"

"Feng Yu? What happened to Hong Zepu's closure of Yu?" Lin Bie asked.

"I'm afraid your officials in Jiangning won't know the news," said Cao Zi'ang, who had just come to Jiangning after a long turn from the north. "After the luxury family returned to their side, in the early winter of last year, the imperial court secretly sent 10,000 yuan of Chen Zhihu, Li Zhuo's subordinate, to Jiangning. The elites were transferred to Jinzhong. Chen Zhihu's methods were vicious. When he led his troops through Wu County in Jinzhong, it happened that the villagers in Wu County gathered a crowd to resist donations. , and then slaughtered nearly 1,000 people in several nearby villages for the crime of rebellion. The villagers feared it like snakes and scorpions, but the villagers regarded it like rain. The north has suffered from famines year after year, and how many people have never fought against donations, rents, or big households. What happened? It’s just that the people in the north are sturdy, and the elite soldiers from Jinzhong, Xiqin and other places have been dispatched to strengthen the northern defense line. Therefore, the villagers are forbearing and appeasing the local people because of disasters. When the Southeast Battlefield was called out, the local government stopped forbearance. Not only was it no longer forbearance, but also the old accounts of Chen Zhi’s rotten millet were turned over. The villages who had troubles did not ask the first guilt or commit the crime. They arrested people in the past. Kill or kill... From the beginning of the winter to the New Year last year, a total of 40,000 elites in the southeast battlefield were transferred to the northern line. These 40,000 elites were not in a hurry to strengthen the defense line in the Yanshan area. In the prefectures and counties that crossed the flag and made troubles, the army cleared the bandits even more. What kind of bandits are not bandits? There are many Tuweizi in the north. Tuweizi, most of them should be set aside as bandit villages. Fortunately, we didn’t go to Zhongzhou last autumn and winter. The hunting and killing in Zhongzhou was even worse, and almost all adult men fled the border to take refuge.”

"Stupid, unreachable," Lin Fu said, "No wonder there hasn't been much news about the battle on the northern front in the Tang newspaper recently. Those who want to plan this matter also know that if the news is leaked, it will be reviled by the world. The truth of the people turning over the old debts? There is no such way to secure the law before fighting against the outside world!"

"Hey," Cao Ziang said with a sneer, "the refugees in Nanchong, the pressure on the security of the prefectures and counties along the Huaihe River has greatly increased, and the anti-theft camps have been expanded. All tacitly allow the anti-theft camps to seal off fish and collect river donations in their respective jurisdictions... The river donation was originally an expedient measure by Li Zhuo in the southeast to raise military salaries in Jiangdong, Zhejiang and Jiangxi, and never in the area north of Hongzepu. It has been implemented. This time, the fishing closure and donations will be in line with Jiangdong and other places. The fishing boats in Hongzepu and Huaihe naturally cannot bear it. When we came this time, in the north of Shiliang County, a large number of fishermen gathered. I know what's going to happen..."

Lin Fu didn't expect that the situation in the north would be so severe. There were some things he knew, and he didn't know more than Cao Zian had personally traveled from the north. Gu Wuchen believes that some central secrets do not need to be known to him. Thinking that after the elites were drawn from the southeastern battlefield, they did not immediately strengthen the Yanshan battlefield, but dispersed to the northwest Qing bandits first. Maybe they were worried that the elites transferred from the southeast battlefield would continue to form a group, so they first separated the Qing bandits, and then Scattered into the northern defense line, those who make decisions in the center do not know that elites can only play a greater role if they form a group. If the Yanshan defense line is broken through by the Donghu people, the court will guard against the powerful officials. significance?

Lin Bie sighed slightly and said, "We can't control these things, can Ziang gain anything from this trip?"

"When I left Changshan Island, Mr. Qin and Crow hadn't come back and couldn't talk to each other, but it's not far from what I expected," Cao Zi'ang said, "I heard from Wu Qi just now that you can arrange a hundred households this time. If the refugees settled in Moling County on the south bank, it should be no problem to put thirty people in there, right?"

"As long as the net worth is clean, there is no problem." Lin Bie said with a smile.

Qin Chengzu, a band of horse bandits, was booby-trapped by the government last year, and suffered heavy losses. After they were all evacuated to Changshan Island, there were only more than forty elite soldiers left. It was very difficult to have a long-term foothold in the waters of Changshan Island. Huai Shang has been vertical and horizontal for ten years, and it has a great influence on Huai Shang, where the folk customs are sturdy.

"It happened to catch up with the Northland, the Qing bandits and the famine years~www.wuxiax.com~ A wave of refugees formed early," Cao Zi'ang said, "On the road, ten copper coins and two liters of white noodles can be exchanged for a genuine tooth brand. Thirty people disguised themselves as fathers and sons, uncles and nephews, or brothers, forming a total of nine households. Their families all went directly to the island from Qingjiangpu, but only two or three people really knew the identity of Mr. Lin. Jiang Nan'an will meet you, Lin Ye, and others will not know the details. They will only think that someone around you is an insider that we bought. After waiting at the ferry, Lin Ye will look at the signs and choose someone. In the future, I will be counted as relying on Lin Ye. now..."

"What are you talking about? It doesn't matter if you see me or not, the family members are basically reliable when they go to the island," Lin Fu said. "After arriving at the south bank, we will use a small boat to practice. Within a month, I will prepare a three-masted boat for Zi'ang and you. …”

Now, a batch of supplies needs to be shipped directly to Changshan Island every two months. It is not because the waterway will be checked, but because the ship is too small to withstand the wind and waves. Now that Cao Zi'ang personally led thirty people in, a three-masted cargo ship with a thousand stone load was fully equipped with sailors, guards, and handymen, and this ship could be used as a secret warship of Jiyun Society in Jiangning.

"Zi'ang asked his sister-in-law and Long Zizi to take over from the island," said Wu Qi, the crow.

"Ah," Lin Fu looked at Cao Zi'ang, "Jiangning is in danger, how can I let my sister-in-law and nephew be in danger?"

"The leopard has no legs, the crow has no legs - these two bachelors, they are too cumbersome to find a mother-in-law - I don't have any legs to show others, how can I do it?" Cao Zi'ang said.
