Lin Jian only named Gu Tianqiao and his family to move to Jeju, but many things need to be understood, and there is really no need to puncture them and make each other's faces ugly.

For the Gu family, moving to Jeju is a wise choice to protect one's life and interests without being damaged, so why squeeze in Jiangning?

Since late June, Gu Tianqiao has rectified and contracted the tea and rice industries under his name.

Over the years, the Gu clan who has taken care of Gu Tianqiao's tea house, rice shop and other businesses has been trusted and relied on, and they are just that person. As soon as the storm season passed, Gu Tianqiao sent these people and their families to Jeju to settle down, and also to support the situation there first. Even if a few people were unwilling to leave Jiangning, Gu Tianqiao also asked them to go out and set up their own doors.

is the eldest son Gu Chennian, who has just turned eighteen, who also graduated from Jiangning Public School ahead of schedule, and asked Gu Tianqiao to be sent to Jeju to study under Zhao Shuhan.

Gu Tianqiao himself, on the other hand, waited until early October, and after the trial of the Lin Zhengjun-class iron-skeleton ship he snatched from the Nanyang Shipyard was completed and officially delivered, it was renamed Hutang, painted with new paint, and officially resigned to Lin Jian and left Jiangning.

Because of the rebel general Su Tingzhan after May, he officially served as the commander of the Yanhu Dengzhou Navy. Relying on the sea-locking defense line built by Nahe Xiongqi between Dengzhou and Jinzhou, it sent naval warships to infiltrate and invade the southern waters in a small area, and in the waters before the southeast of the Shandong Peninsula and the Goryeo Peninsula, it mainly attacked the merchant fleet, and fought encounters and guerrilla warfare with the Huaidong naval warships.

In addition to harassing the normal trade between Jianghuai and Haidong, Su Tingzhan mainly used this to train his troops. However, Su Tingzhan was also clearly aware of the gap between him and Huaidong on the warships, so he strictly ordered the naval army under his command to resolutely withdraw after the slightest contact with the warships of the Jinghai Division, which also caused great interference to the navigation of the Huaidong Naval Division and the southeast waters of the Shandong Peninsula in the early stage.

After September, the Military Staff Department officially designated the sea area north of Changshan Island as a theater of operations, and all maritime exchanges with the Haidong region were restricted to the sea area south of Changshan Island.

Gu Tianqiao sailed from Chongju to the south, then crossed the sea to the east, passed through the sea near Kagoshima and then turned north to Jeju. Although it is said that it will take two more days to drift at sea than a direct voyage, the Yanhu Dengzhou Navy has not yet been able to penetrate into the waters south of Changshan Island, and it is relatively much safer.

After September, first, the encounters in the southeast sea area of the Shandong Peninsula became more and more frequent, and second, after Ye Ji Baishi led his troops into Goryeo, after joining forces with Goryeo Prime Minister Zuojing, he actively launched a counterattack in Goryeo, and in half a month, pushed the battle line south to the Asan line.

Zhen's Haiyang army, the important town of Qingyang City at the northern foothills, was surrounded by tens of thousands of Goryeo royal troops in early September.

Asan is a horizontal mountain system in the south-central part of the Goryeo Peninsula from the Taebaek Mountains and directly to the East China Sea to the west. Asan was actually the outermost natural defense line of Hanyang-gun, the capital of Goryeo.

Zhen Feng raised troops from Haiyang, but also took advantage of the fact that Zuojing and the princes and ministers in the Goryeo royal court were not aware of it, and captured Asan with a broken bamboo, so that he could lay a pattern of equal strength with the royal army with a relatively weak force, and then pocketed Shannan and Shanyou on the right flank, so that the territory under his control accounted for one-third of the entire Goryeo Peninsula

Asan is related to the next development direction of the Goryeo war, once Qingyang City is lost, the Haiyang army will have to give up a large area of land north of Gyeongyu Mountain; As long as the Haeyang army has a firm foothold on the Asan line, it can attract the main force of the Goryeo royal army to the south of Hanyang County, so that the Haeyang army can send a partial division to advance north from the eastern flank of the Taebaek Mountains, bypassing Hanyang County, and disrupting the control of the Prime Minister Zuo Jing over the northeastern region of Goryeo.

Under these circumstances, Hu Qiaoguan, Yu Wenbei and others led the newly formed Lu 703 Town Division, under the cover of the naval division warships, to land on the Asan Peninsula in advance, and spread out from the northwest foot of Asan to the east to contain the Goryeo royal army besieging Qingyang City.

The Asan Peninsula is a long-tongued peninsula that extends into the East China Sea and turns southward, and is slightly smaller than the Matsuura Peninsula on Kyushu Island.

The Asan Peninsula is a natural haven formed by the hills, and the bay formed by the peninsula and the land cliff shore is a natural haven. This is not only the westernmost route of Asan, but also the closest point to the Shandong Peninsula in the entire Goryeo Peninsula.

In addition to the land route that can directly attack the southwest of Hanyang, the capital of Goryeo, the barrier of Puseong, bypassing the Puseong Peninsula in the north, is Hanyang Bay on the east side of the capital of Goryeo, and the sea route is only 250 miles away from the mouth of the Han River; It is only 1,000 miles away from the sea-locking defense line built by Yanhu between Dengzhou and Liaodongjian, and it is nearly 6,700 miles closer than the sea-locking defense line built by the naval warships from Haizhou to attack Yanhu.

As early as when the Haiyang army controlled Asan, Ma Yigong ordered Ge Changgen to build a water village on the Asan Peninsula as the advance base of the Haidong marching army.

Of course, the materials needed by the Haidong camp army to build a water village on the Asan Peninsula were mainly provided by Zhen Feng; It is impossible for the Haidong camp army to help the Zhen clan fight, and even the military rations have to be borne by themselves.

In the later period, with the expansion of the Haiyang Army and the intensification of the war, the war mobilization potential of the area controlled by the Zhen clan has actually been tapped to the extreme.

In the stalemate stage of the war, it is difficult for the Zhen clan to have a significant increase in the resources available, and it is very difficult to support its own military equipment, and it is difficult to support the expansion of the Yashan Shan Village. The previous scale of Yashanzhai could not meet the needs of the expanded Haidong camp army and military development.

In May, Zhen Feng personally went to Haizhou to meet Lin Lian, and the Haizhou secret agreement he signed included a basket of military aid terms.

In the early days, Huaidong Qianzhuang alone provided 1 million silver dollars for military loans, and it was also increased to Huaidong Qianzhuang and the colonist Yinzhuang jointly provided 2 million silver yuan; This money was mainly used to help the expansion of the Haiyang Army, but in fact, it was mainly to buy armor and weapons produced in Huaidong.

The two banks will also provide an additional loan of 1 million silver dollars to help Hai Duong County open more iron and coal mines, plant cotton fields on a large scale, and build primary iron smelting and other factories to improve Hai Duong's ability to repay the money and interest.

At the same time, Lin Jian decided to no longer occupy the resources of the Haiyang Army, but separately allocated a huge amount of silver from the Privy Council to build Yashanzhai into a permanent military garrison for the large-scale deployment of troops from Asan.

As compensation, the lease period of the Asan Peninsula will be increased to 500 years, so that Huaidong can use the Asan Peninsula to build a free trade port in the southwest of the Goryeo Peninsula in the later period, so as to make up for the huge amount of investment in the construction of cities, ports and military funds in the early stage.

For the Zhen family, if they lose, they will destroy their clan, and if they win, they will control the entire Goryeo Peninsula, so how can they care about ceding the Asan Peninsula and Jeju Island to Huaidong? How could they care that in the future, they would have to return hundreds of thousands of silver dollars of interest to Huaidong Money Village and Colonist Silver Village every year?

Similarly, Huaidong Qianzhuang, Colonist Yinzhuang, the Military Department, and the Privy Council have invested so many resources in the Zhen family, if they don't want to lose all their money, they will help the Zhen family win the civil war.

Of course, the Goryeo Civil War is a prelude to the Huaibei Expedition and the capture of the Central Plains, no matter what, Lin Jian has to fight with all his strength, and Huaidong and Zhen's interests are the same in the general direction at this time, and it is good to be able to get back some extra money.

With the increasing frequency of wars in the later period, in order to grasp the situation in the nearby Goryeo and Xusi war zones, Lin Jian sent Gao Zongting to Haizhou as early as early September to form the Northern Command. Lin Tie was also dragged on by various affairs, until the late autumn of mid-October, I was able to leave for Haizhou and personally preside over the work of the Northern Command.

The military and political affairs of Jiangning were handled by the Privy Council and the Military Staff Department, and Lin Jian also officially authorized the public council chaired by Lin Tingli to supervise the military and political affairs of the Privy Council and the Military Staff during his absence.

Although Emperor Yongxing and Empress Dowager Liang still nominally held the highest state government of the Southern Dynasties, headed by Zhang Yan, Shen Rong and others, the imperial party still had remnants of power in Jiangning, but they had been excluded from the central power.

There is no way to meddle in military and political affairs, and power will naturally be completely hollowed out.

October is late autumn, and Haizhou is already quietly wintering.

The yellow leaves are scattered, and the rice fields on both sides of the road are harvested one after another, leaving roots and stubble in the endless fields, and occasionally you can see three or five farmers driving cattle and horses in the fields to re-cultivate the fields, so that they can plant wheat before winter.

Xiaoman's chin slammed against the floppy window, looking out at the field outside the car.

After coming ashore from Shanyang, he sat in the carriage for three days, slowly traveling north, and looked at the roughly similar scenery outside the car window every day, and Xiaoman did not feel tired of it. It is also the reason why I have lived in Jiangning Shen Mansion for too long, and when I go out for a walk again, I feel fresh every place I see.

Lin Jian leaned on the soft couch, holding it in his hand, bending his legs quite comfortably; All kinds of official letters were handed over to Su Mei to sit next to him and wait for him to approve - the special carriage was covered with iron plates to enhance the protection against stabbing and more importantly, it was made extremely spacious, so that Lin Lian, Su Mei, and Xiaoman were all in the car, and they did not feel the slightest inconvenience.

The Northern Command now has Gao Zongting presiding over it, and Lin Jian is really unwilling to rush to Haizhou. Lin Jian also didn't take a break for a long time, after coming ashore from Shanyang, he walked on the road for three days, and he had just reached the edge of Haizhou Tun District.

"Ahh What's that? Xiao Man, who was lying on the window and watching the scenery for a long time, suddenly saw something new, turned his head and asked Lin Bin.

Lin Jian looked out, but it was an iron pear cart in the field that caused Xiao Man's surprise, and said with a smile: "It's just an iron pear cart, and it also caused a public case before." It's just that you don't have the heart to remember, you have to see the real thing, and you're surprised......"

Cultivated land in the south, mostly with ploughing cattle, and very rare ploughing horses; It's not that ploughing horses are not suitable for ploughing.

Ploughing cattle and ploughing horses have their own advantages and disadvantages. Cattle ploughing is slow, but the cost is less, the south is less fertile, farmers are intensively cultivated, each household is more than 10, more than 20 acres of land, cattle arable land is enough.

Horses plough the land faster than oxen, and although it is more efficient, it is much more expensive than oxen; However, the traditional economic model and the topography of the southern rivers limited the requirements for horse-drawn carriage transportation. Therefore, in the south, where there are many people and few lands and rivers are dense, horse breeding is naturally eliminated.

In the Battle of Jingxiang, the military headquarters captured a large number of war horses and camel horses, which were more than the needs of the Huaidong Army itself, so a large number of horses were distributed to various tun areas.

In the machine building department, craftsmen imitated the craftsmanship of Taixi to create a new type of iron pear cart, in addition to pear knives, there are also wheels on both sides. This new type of iron pear car, with its strength and speed, can produce 70 or 80 acres of pear land a day, and the efficiency is five or six times that of the cow pear land.

In the new Kentun area, there is still a situation where there are many people in the land, and this kind of iron pear car and ploughing horse is naturally very suitable for the use of the tun area, and it will soon be popularized.

However, there was also a public case on the iron pear car......

In the early years, Lin was bound in Chongzhou, and he directly offered rewards in the name of the inner government to reward the development of various utility model technologies.

After the government was governed, Lin Jian directly set up a new technology reward pattern under the name of the Machinery Manufacturing Department: first, he was responsible for directly issuing rewards to the people in the name of the government to encourage the military and civilians to develop the new technologies urgently needed in Huaidong; The second is to accept the registration of various new technologies, and force the owners of factories and mines who adopt new technologies to pay a certain percentage of rewards to the inventors of the new technologies.

The iron pear car is made by the craftsmen of the machine manufacturing department who directly imitate the pear car technology passed from the western kingdom of Taixi, although it is very practical, but it cannot be regarded as a new technology.

Whether or not to pay a reward for the new iron pear car is also controversial within the Privy Council. Poke at the public council meeting, and finally rule that all new technologies introduced from overseas are included in the scope of the award.

This conclusion is actually beneficial to the outward expansion forces such as Heishui Ocean and Nanyang Shipping Society.

As the waterway expands outward, they will be exposed to an endless stream of new overseas techniques, and as long as they are introduced to China, they will be rewarded, so why not?

Of course, Lin Bin's original intention is the same, whether it is a new invention or an introduction from overseas, as long as it can promote the development of new technologies and new learning in China, it should naturally be within the scope of reward.

It's just that the current conditions are not yet mature, and there are big loopholes and controversies in the protection period of new technologies, reward ratios, etc., including reporting and supervision, and everything is still crude, and there is no way to directly formulate a patent law with a complete system.

Since the beginning of this year, many of the things that Lin Jian has done are preliminary work, which is to adjust the upcoming new empire in the direction of going to a new pattern, and the strict and stable system that really needs to be formed will not be successful in just three or five years.

Xiaoman's mind diverged quickly, he was still curious about Tie Liche in the front, and asked Su Mei uncertainly: "Will Mrs. Qian Guo not welcome us to Haizhou?" ”
