Chapter 256: Tension Rises

In the autumn of the ninth year of Jiajing, the Mongolian barbarian department broke out in Jizhen and the border army, Jizhen paid three or four thousand dead and wounded, and finally repelled the siege of 20,000 cavalry of the barbarians, and most of the eyes of the world were focused on the north, which was also a common program during the reign of every Ming emperor.

In Liaozhong, the Jurchen tribe built the city of Tuala for the convenience of trading with the merchants of the Ming Dynasty for the various characteristics of fur pearls, which became a large bazaar.

In Zhejiang, there was an extremely incredible thing, and more than 150 Japanese bandits disturbed the place. It was completely annihilated by the local people in Hangzhou, and the local guards and soldiers were all self-conscious, and these people were trained by the iron ding left by Jiang Feng, and now Liu Shunhua, the political envoy of Zhejiang, already has a reputation as a "capable member" in the imperial court.

Thousands of families of the Lin family were relocated out of Linjia Island and arranged between Tengzhou and Laiwu, because of the rebellion that year, the local population loss was particularly serious, so when these people of the Lin family were moved to settle here, there was no rebound.

The garrison of Yang Da was only adjacent to the latest Linjiazhuang, and the slightest disturbance would be suppressed immediately, and the hundreds of people who died in the battle during the day that day, the families of these hundreds of people were given a pension of money, and arranged to live in the place of Shijiu Soluoyi.

Now the entire Lin family is under the notarization of the officials of Laizhou Prefecture, "voluntarily" signing the documents, willing to join the Jiang family as a slave, of course, everyone knows what is going on.

The large and small ships and a large number of thieves on the Lin family island were all taken away by Jiang Feng, and he didn't use some of the money, it was all spent on the Lin family's settlement, but don't think that the so-called "slavery" will be so easy, the Lin family's situation is one ding out of three households, and they will wait for the naval army in Dengzhou to serve.

Rotated every five years, working hard for Jiang Feng's sailors and smuggling, although these people were forced to join by him, but this is also a force that is really controlled in his own hands, although there is still resistance, but under his own high-ranking officials, he will not worry about not being able to win over his own hands.

Lin Deyan and more than a dozen elders of the Lin family, as well as the leaders of various branches of the clan, were all invited to settle down in Dengzhou in the name of respecting the elders of the Lin family, although they were slaves, but in fact they had to be respected, and quite coincidentally, these people and Monk Li were actually neighbors.

The Jiang family's whole family moved to the small dock fort in the Qianhu House of Yantai Mountain, but fortunately, it is also quite particular here, and the family will not suffer much.

Now the veterans of Tengzhou, Shijiu, Laiwu and Wendeng are only a hundred people who are middle and low-level officers, and the rest have all returned to the Dengzhou military camp in the Qianhu Institute of Yantai Mountain. The Dengzhou camp is now almost on full alert, and Jiang Feng no longer goes to the Dengzhou capital city.

The barracks have now been enlarged again, enclosing the part of the beach that can be used as a good harbor, and now Monk Li and the permitted fleet are unscrupulously loading and unloading goods in these improvised ports, and the Fucheng is completely powerless about the situation here.

Because the place 100 miles away from the thousands of households in Yantai Mountain is already a forbidden place that has been classified as the Dengzhou camp, and the trespassers will be dealt with by military law, who will find such trouble.

After Jiang Feng returned to Dengzhou with the soldiers and horses, he also took the word to ask Su Guanyue and Su Guanxue sisters, but what he didn't expect was that his sister Su Guanyue had a very good impression of Huang Xilei, the waiter of the Nanjing Criminal Department, because the friendship between the two families was very good, and Huang Xilei was still a member of the Beijing Criminal Department at that time.

When Su's house was raided and Su Shilang was imprisoned, Huang Xilei also rescued him in many ways and took in the two sisters, and the news that Su Guanyue heard about people outside looking for the two of them was heard from the mouth of this Mr. Huang.

These actions seem to have nothing to do with what Jiang Feng experienced in Linjia Island. However, the news of the Lin family, the news of the torture of the assassins, what he saw and heard on Lin Jia Island, including the words of the salt class in the Aoshan Salt Field, all of these clues showed that Huang Shilang was malicious to Jiang Feng's own forces.

The more he thought about it, the more creepy he felt, and Jiang Feng sent his cronies to send a letter to Liu Shunhua in Hangzhou Mansion, hoping that his father-in-law would help inquire about Huang Shilang's relatives and various relationships.

At the same time, Wang Qinian in the Beijing Division also began to be active, and after all, he could inquire more about the news.

Liu Fangrui and Su Guanyue are Jiang Feng's wives, although there are some things that Jiang Feng doesn't tell them, but moving from Dengzhou Mansion to Yantai Mountain shows that they are a little nervous, because similar things have happened in the past, but then again, women are already a little used to it.

The private harbor was now semi-enclosed, with Spanish brigs and a newly-built fortune ship moored there, and the two large ships were loaded with supplies and ammunition, and the sailors were divided into three shifts to lead their troops on it, ready to sail out of the harbor at any time.

Just after the Mid-Autumn Festival, the weather is already a little cooler, Jiang Feng sat silently in the meeting hall on the mountain, Liu Twelve on the side looked at the letterhead there, although Liu Twelve is quite talented in the chest, but the distance between the government and the people is very large after all, many secrets and allusions in the court are not known, and reading letters at this time is just to do the work of a secretary, Jiang Feng is really not familiar with the calligraphy of other fonts in addition to the block letters.

"Wang Qinian said that there were occasional wind legends that Huang Xilei was Huang Xilei, Huang Xiting's father used to be under Liu Jin's door, and Su Shilang also had similar rumors, but they were all rumors, and the Huang brothers have never been too outstanding as officials in Beijing, just mediocre."

Liu Twelve opened another letter and continued:

"Lord Ling Yue's letter said that Huang Xilei had a very good official reputation when he was in Beijing, and Huang Xiting has always been known as a ruthless reputation, and he doesn't know much about the others, and the two brothers are quite low-key!"

Jiang Feng didn't have a happy expression, these news were not secret news, even if he inquired on the streets of Beijing and Nanjing, he would know that the people of the Lin family said that when they were private merchants at sea, the goods were detained, but Jinyiwei came to the door.

The feeling of the Lin family at that time was estimated to be similar to Jiang Feng's search for the thieves in the warehouse, and they also felt that they were about to be wiped out, but they didn't expect that the other party took the initiative to ask them to rob the fleet at sea, and provided them with detailed information every time. The two parties split the profits. This kind of behavior equivalent to piracy is naturally completely contrary to the good evaluation of the previous official voice.

But these are not what Jiang Feng needs, what he is wondering about is why the other party is interested in the Su family sisters, since he has been in this world for so long, the person he has crossed has been the death of both parents, and his adoptive father also left him when he was eleven or twelve years old.

In his previous life, Jiang Feng was also an orphan Zhang Da in modern times, and what really made him feel like a family was the sisters of the Su family and Liu Fangrui, of course, Zhang Yong rarely gave him the feeling of an elder. These people are his taboos and his weaknesses, so if someone dares to offend, they will definitely retaliate a hundredfold and a thousand times back.

"I guess it's that Huang Shilang who sent assassin......s because we blocked the trade of private pirates at sea, and the income of the Aoshan Salt Works was also cut off by us."

Jiang Feng slowly shook his hand and said:

"Things won't be so simple, forget it, let's send out a detailed work, inquire about the residence of Huang Shilang's family in Nanjing, and raise the vigilance in various places......"

Regarding the matter of the Su family sisters, he couldn't tell Liu Twelve, Liu Twelve was also good at observing words and feelings, and he didn't say anything there, and he just made a retirement arrangement.

The money harvested in Linjia Island is no longer able to enter Jiang Feng's eyes, but the training of the recruits in this battle makes him very happy, although the recruits have received good training in the barracks, but the soldiers who have not undergone actual combat training are never worth mentioning.

But after the battle on Linjia Island, these soldiers have really grown up, Jiang Feng now knows to be careful, and will not leave the barracks, everything is transmitted by the soldiers and messengers in the city, and he is training soldiers and horses every day.

As a person who has traveled through modern times, Jiang Feng has already tasted the benefits of those queue training in ancient cold weapon warfare, so this time he has strengthened this kind of training, which has also been doubled, and there is also the connection of strength. Although the soldiers are complaining, but here, the food is sufficient and high, and the food is full, and there are such good things in other places, can they go home and farm?

The sky was cloudy, but the captains and soldiers on the school field were all silent, and meticulously carried out the orders issued on the high platform of the mountain, Jiang Feng there had a very bad temper, and the soldiers who were already slackly trained were directly arrested and whipped, and no one wanted to touch this moldy head.

Suddenly, there was a commotion at the gate of the barracks, although the soldiers were still walking in line, but their attention couldn't help but shift, Jiang Feng frowned on the stage, and before he could ask what was going on, an officer hurriedly ran over at the gate of the barracks, and when he arrived at the front of the stage, he whispered breathlessly:

"General, there are thirty brocade guards outside, saying that they are going to the barracks to arrest criminals!"
