Chapter 1174: A bumpy road

The vigorous oath meeting ended at noon, everyone dissipated one after another, Guo Kun's body was a little unbearable, and everyone in the Lin family went back to the residence with Guo Kun to rest. Lin Jue and Gao Muqing immediately held a meeting of all the backbone of the cottage in the Juyi Hall.

Lin Jue's statement a few days ago that the system of the Falling Wild Goose Army must be implemented today. Personnel must also be appointed. At the meeting, Lin Jue appointed Ma Bin and Shen Tan as the deputy commanders of the Luoyan Army. Sun Dayong was appointed as the commander of the firearms battalion and Lin Jue's personal guard battalion, Liang Qi was appointed as the commander of the Ma army, and Lu Yi was appointed as the commander of the infantry army. Qin Chuncao was appointed as the commander of the logistics battalion. Mu Buping was appointed as the commander of the baggage equipment battalion. Yang Xiu was appointed as the inspector of the Luoyan Army, and concurrently served as the county lieutenant of Luoyan County. The official positions under them were adjusted, and some of the 500 palace guards and Lin Mansion guards were transferred to the army to serve as the main military positions, and the officers at all levels were appointed and adjusted.

These are complicated and chaotic, and it is a waste of effort, but fortunately, this is not difficult for Lin Jue. Knowing people and doing things well is a later story, and now we need to build a new structure to make everything work.

It was busy until the afternoon, and it basically came to an end. Lin Jue was hungry, he didn't sleep all night last night, and he was quite sleepy, so he immediately announced the end of the meeting, ready to go back to rest. Liang Qi couldn't help but ask.

"Strategist, we have already raised the banner, when will we go out of the mountains to fight, I can't wait to fight with the officers and soldiers." Liang Qi was used to being called a military advisor, so he couldn't change his words for a while.

When everyone heard Liang Qi ask, they all looked at Lin Jue. They also wanted to know when they would go out to fight.

Lin Jue rubbed his somewhat sore forehead and smiled: "Fighting? Brother Liang, what kind of battle are you doing? ”

Liang Qi was stunned and said: "Military advisor, didn't you mean to tease me, we are going to kill Guo Xu and those traitorous ministers, don't you send troops to fight them?" ”

Lin Jue laughed and said, "Brother Liang, you think too much. What to fight? How many soldiers do we have? A full dozen is not more than 10,000 people. Do you know how many soldiers and horses there are in the imperial court? There are more than 200,000 forbidden troops and one million local van troops. To say the least, there were 1.5 million soldiers and horses. How are we going to fight? Besides, don't you know our own family background? Look at those brothers, the armor on their bodies is not fully worn, and the blades of their swords are not sharp enough. Let's just go out and fight with so many officers and soldiers? What's the difference between this and sending to death? ”

Liang Qi smacked his lips and said, "What does the military advisor mean?" Let's not fight? ”

"Don't fight! What to fight? Can't fight. Lin Jue waved his hand.

Liang Qi and the others were flying all over the sky.

"And what does this pledge meeting mean?" Liang Qidao.

"It's a sign of attitude. Although you don't fight, you have to be clear-cut. These are two different things. Raising the banner at the pledge meeting does not mean that you have to fight hard with others! What we need to do now is to step up training, make preparations, recruit troops, and create momentum. If we want to go out of the mountains and fight with them, it is impossible. Lin Jue patiently explained.

"There aren't many people coming to this recruitment. At most, tens of thousands of people from all over the country defected, isn't that still a disparity in strength? According to the meaning of the military division, when will we be able to send troops? "Liang Qidao.

Lin Jue said coldly: "I said, get ready and strengthen yourself." Hoard grain and grass, build weapons, and defend the cottage. This is our duty now. As for when the troops will be sent, I don't know. What I do know is that when the time comes, troops will be dispatched. Waiting for the moment is the best option. Don't ask more, let's go back and rest. There's a lot more to do. By the way, Brother Liang, you led hundreds of brothers to the direction of Qingtai Town in the afternoon, I received news that my Lin family came first with a large number of heavy personnel, in order to prevent the officers and soldiers of Ye County from besieging them, you are responsible for going to the south of Qingtai Town to respond, and you must ensure the safety of personnel and materials. ”

Liang Qi hurriedly obeyed the order, Lin Jue got up and arched his hand, and went away with Gao Muqing.

……

The safety of everyone in the Lin family has always worried Lin Jue. In fact, on the day he arrived in Luoyan Valley, Lin Jue asked Bai Bing to take more than 20 Lin family nurses to pick them up. Lin Jue explained to Lin Hu at the beginning, and after arriving in Hangzhou, he immediately used carrier pigeons to report to Luoyan Valley. At that time, whether he successfully escaped and arrived in Funiu Mountain or not, Gao Muqing would respond.

But after arriving at Luoyan Valley, Gao Muqing said that he had never received a letter from a carrier pigeon, which made Lin Jue very panicked, so he sent Bai Bing to answer him non-stop.

Yesterday evening, Bai Bing finally delivered the news. She had already joined Lin Hu. The Lin family's fleet has arrived at the Miyang River in Tangzhou. At the same time, Lin Jue also knew the general situation of the Lin family's escape.

On the same day, Lin Hu left the city in the evening and rushed to Hangzhou non-stop. Along the way, Lin Hu was about to faint when he arrived in Hangzhou. With his physique, it can be seen that the hard work of this journey. Lin Hu handed over a handwritten letter written by Lin Jue, in which Lin Jue briefly informed the upcoming changes in the DPRK and China, and asked Lin Boyong and Lin Bonian to close the business immediately in the name of the head of the family, pack up the personnel and materials, board the ship and follow Lin Hu to Funiu Mountain to avoid trouble. Lin Boyong hesitated very much after receiving the letter, and finally made up his mind under Lin Hu's repeated urging. This hesitation almost made a big mess. After Guo Xu ascended the throne, he immediately issued a holy decree and sent the Imperial City Division to Hangzhou to arrest the Lin family. Fortunately, the distance was far away, and the imperial court saint arrived in the evening of the second day after Lin Hu arrived in Hangzhou. At that time, Lin Boyong had just made up his mind, and soon after the Lin family boarded the ship, a large number of soldiers and horses of the Imperial City blocked the Lin Mansion. It's really dangerous. As long as it is delayed for a few more hours, no one in the Lin family will be spared.

Even so, it's dangerous. Although the personnel and materials got on the boat and went north along the canal, Chen Jue, the commander of the Imperial City Division who personally went to arrest the Lin family's family, was not willing to rest. He went to the Ning Navy garrison in Hangzhou and asked the Ning Navy naval warship to go after the Lin family.

Zhao Hengshan, the current commander of the Ning Navy, was promoted by a deputy general under Song Yanping, the former commander of the Ning Navy. This person was the person who was installed by Guo Bing, the king of Liang. After exterminating the sea bandit Hai Dongqing, Song Yanping and Deputy Envoy Wang were promoted and transferred to the capital, and Guo Bing passed through ordinary hands and feet, so that this Zhao Hengshan became the commander of the Ning Navy. In addition, when he was fighting the bandits, although Zhao Hengshan was only a partial general, he was also a member of the leading generals, he had fought side by side with Lin Jue, and he also knew that everything he did today could be said to be partly due to Lin Jue. At the beginning, Lin Jue's fearlessness in breaking into the bandits' lair Peach Blossom Island in cloth clothes gave Zhao Hengshan a deep impression. Zhao Hengshan is a person who misses the old love and righteousness, although he has no deep friendship with Lin Jue, he refuses to really attack the Lin family.

But the holy decree was difficult to do, and Chen Jue was a person who could not be offended, so in desperation, he had to order more than ten warships and chase after the Lin family with more than 800 Ning Navy soldiers. Along the way, Chen Jue urged endlessly, Zhao Hengshan always couldn't find a reason to shirk, and chased until the river near Jiangning, almost catching up with the Lin family's fleet, and the luck of the Lin family came.

Hurricanes hit the coast and southeast each year from May to August. The second hurricane of the year arrived at this time. Within a few hours, the waves on the river were surging, the turbidity waves were monstrous, and the storm was raging. Chen Jue now had a reason, on the grounds of the safety of the warship and soldiers, he asked to stop the pursuit and dock at the Jiangning wharf to avoid the wind and rain.

Where is Chen Jue willing to follow, insisting that Zhao Hengshan brave the wind and rain to catch up, but Zhao Hengshan refused. He told Chen Jue that if he wanted to chase him himself, Ning Haijun could provide them with a warship. But the lives of the officers and men of the Ning Navy mattered, and it was impossible to give their lives for the Lin family. On the river, once it capsizes, it will be a situation where the ship is destroyed and people die. He Chen Jue can ignore it, but as the commander of the Ning Navy, he is responsible for the lives of his brothers and the safety of the warship.

Chen Jue was helpless, the other party's words were conclusive, quite reasonable, but it was difficult to refute. He didn't dare to chase after him in a boat. As landlubbers like their Imperial City Division, they are calm and don't know how to control a warship, let alone such weather. In desperation, Chen Jue had no choice but to scold and agree with Zhao Hengshan to dock the warship in Jiangning to avoid the hurricane.

Everyone in the Lin family was already desperate after the other party caught up, the hurricane was not a disaster for them, but the favor of the god of luck, where did they dare to stay for a moment. Brave the storm and waves to escape. Fortunately, the shipwrights on the big ship of the Lin family are all experienced people, many of them have followed the sea ship out of the country to trade, the wind and waves at sea are greater than on the river, and they have seen more about the wind and waves, and they have ensured the safety of the big ship by virtue of superb means. Even so, it has come at the cost of discarding a lot of food supplies. Because this must be done, otherwise the Lin family's big ship is likely to capsize in the river.

The hurricane lasted inland for three or four days, which also completely deprived Chen Jue of the opportunity to catch up. Everyone in the Lin family is really lucky. If it weren't for the hurricane, there would be no escape. But even when a hurricane hits, they still can't escape after the hurricane stops. Because of the westward trace, the speed is extremely slow. To the northwest through the Huaishui is to go back to the river, and the big ship can't drive fast at all. After the hurricane stopped, Chen Jue could still catch up by land, and ordered soldiers and horses to chase and block it along the way. But the craftsmanship of the Lin family boat is bold, and this hurricane not only saved their lives, but also allowed them to use their strength to move quickly. In order to get out of danger as soon as possible, the boatman got Lin Boyong's permission to take the risk of hoisting the sails, and with the help of the power of the hurricane, he traveled westward at a very fast speed.

When the hurricane stopped, the Lin family had already arrived at the Miyang River through Huaishui and entered the territory of Tangzhou. Although Chen Jue was extremely angry, there was nothing she could do.
