On 16 May, Lin Jian took a boat through Huaishui and Guan River and arrived at Haizhou Port to meet with Zhen Feng and other Haidong heroes.

The ship was anchored in Haizhou Port, Lin Tie stood against the railing, and asked the Zuo sisters and the three daughters of Irie Ayakori behind him: "Do you three want to go back to Haidong Province in person?" ”

Zuo Lan and Zuo Yan were originally selected as gifts to the Danluo royal family to be dedicated to Lin Bin, and there was already a kind of loss and resentment for abandonment, but they grew up in a wealthy family, and they also had a sense of this fate, and they still missed their mother and younger brother in Jeju in their hearts.

Of course, they have followed Lin Tie and Song Jia for many years, and they have also learned to deal with government affairs, know about military affairs, and know that Lin Tie asked this question, and they specifically asked Irie Ayaori, so they turned back and looked at Irie Ayakori together.

Irie Ayaori followed Lin Jian only eleven years old, at this time it was only a double ten years old, her face was charming and innocent, her skin was as smooth as snow, and she could not see a trace of flaws.

When Ayaori called Irie to give it to Lin Bin, it was mainly because she was young, with a beautiful face but a mature woman's figure, which was a curiosity that men liked, but she didn't expect that after she grew up, she would be so beautiful.

Only in terms of appearance, the Zuo sisters are still a little inferior.

"I was so young when I left my hometown that I couldn't remember what my hometown looked like, and I didn't want to go back for a long time......," Ayakori Irie said quietly.

Irie Ayaori, although she is of the same clan as Irie, but her family was ruined when she was young, she was raised by her clansmen because she was young and beautiful, if she hadn't met Song Jia and Lin Binding, she would only have become a plaything for the clansmen or the clansmen to give to others.

When she called the Jiang clan as a gift to Lin Lian, she was only eleven years old, and her heart was full of fear of the future and resentment towards her clansmen, and her relatives were long gone, so where did she want to revisit her hometown?

Saga Yorigen and Kingo Tsuno came together, not only to move Dazaifu to Kyushu Island and ask the two of them to take turns in power, after the two of them divided the Osumi Kunihei clan equally in Kyushu, they wanted to better mobilize their combat power to attack the Hojo clan, and the Irie Ayaori clan was an obstacle.

Before allowing the Saga clan and the Osugo clan to divide into the territory of the Jiang clan equally, Lin Jian couldn't help but feel the feelings of Ayaori Irie.

Although Irie Ayakori was originally dedicated to Lin Tie as a plaything, but seeing her grow up by her side year after year, she has an indescribable love, and she may want more than affection, and she loves her body more, flesh and inner charm, but she still doesn't want her to grieve for the fall of her homeland.

Since the government of the government, the most important thing is to spread out the affairs of Haidong more thoroughly before the Jianghuai gentry and merchants and pawn peddlers, which has also caused a lot of discussion.

In the past, the diplomatic relations with foreign vassals, for almost thousands of years, were all the royal road of "the king walks the royal road, and the four seas are salty", and the diplomatic relations with foreign vassals are purely to show the benevolence, righteousness, morality and great imperial demeanor of the Han State in the Central Plains; However, Lin Jian strengthened the state and weakened the concept of the imperial court, so it was natural to emphasize the interests of the country in everything, and to have diplomatic relations with foreign vassals, so he naturally wanted to be hegemonic and fight for rights and interests, and it was by no means limited to the verbal "salty obedience" of foreign vassals.

After the ship was berthed, the Zuo sisters and the three daughters of Irie Ayaori, as Lin Bin's favorite concubines, would not appear in public, while Liu Miaozhen was dressed in a gold silk embroidered phoenix robe, and Song Jia was also wearing a female official uniform, and got off the boat with Lin Tie to accept everyone to the dock to greet them.

Lin Jian looked at Zhen Feng, Saga Raiyuan, Jinxiang Jinye and others, stood with his hands down, smiled up, and said: "Jeju is goodbye, for nearly ten years, all the princes are fine, and there are all the princes in Haidong, my heart is at peace......"

"Chongguo Gong is heroic and martial, and he is in his prime, and we are dying of old age!" Saga Yorigen saluted.

Among the three, Saga Yorigen is the youngest, only six out of fifty; Zhen Feng was nine out of fifty at the time; Tsuno is the oldest in the countryside, and he is already in his old age, but in order not to let Saga Lai Yuan make trouble behind his back, he still holds on to an old bone and takes a sea boat to Haizhou to meet Lin Bin.

Although the Zhen, Saga, and Kongo clans have risen in Haidong in recent years, they do not yet have the advantage of dominating the country.

They are either going to be old, or they are dying, and there are no particularly shining characters in the heirs, and Lin Jian is in the prime of life in front of him, although he knows that the pattern of attachment to Huaidong is difficult to change, and he also wants to finalize the situation in Haidong in his lifetime. Otherwise, when they die, and the heirs have no great success, maybe Lin Jian will be determined to support other forces to replace them......

This is also the fundamental reason why they gathered in Haizhou to face Helin and open the mansion regardless of the turmoil and danger, and wanted to use this gathering to establish the power structure of Haidong for the next thirty or fifty years or even hundreds of years.

Unlike Nanyang, whether it was Goryeo or Fuso, it was divided at this time, but Goryeo and Fuso still had a tradition of unification and overall nationalization, and even with the unpleasant memories of later generations, Lin Jian knew that it was unrealistic to occupy them militarily and would encounter strong resistance.

This time, Lin Jian needed to completely separate Jeju Island, Songpo, Hirado, and the Goto Islands from Goryeo and Fuso to become a central territory in Haidong, and needed the endorsement of the Zhen, Saga, and Onsgo clans.

As early as when Chen Enze replaced Lin Jingzhong to take charge of Jeju politics, he had secret discussions with the Li family of Danluo State and Chi Guan, the governor of Dongzhou.

Although Danluo is called a country, it occupies an area less than a county, and its population is no more than 30,000. To put it nicely, it's a vassal country, but if it's not good, it's an indigenous clan, in order to maintain a standing army of 3,000, it has exhausted its strength to eat milk, and a stronger force can wipe out their country.

And Chi Zhou was in charge of the Dongzhou Governor's Mansion, which was completely a temporary measure with the support of Lin Xuan, and as he got to know Huaidong more deeply, Chi Zhou had already given up the idea of separating Dongzhou. Moreover, without the support of Huaidong, Chi Zhou wanted to occupy a corner of Kyushu Island in the name of a county and a foreign race, and sooner or later it would be destroyed by the increasingly powerful Saga clan or the Kongo clan.

This time, both the Lee and Chi clans will relinquish their control over Jeju, Songpo, Hirado, and the Goto Islands on the condition of a hereditary succession, so that the Danluo Kingdom and the Dongju Governorate will be completely merged into the newly established Jeju Governorate and become an overseas territory directly under the central government.

Although Jeju Island, the Goto Islands, Hirado Island, and the Songpo Peninsula combined are only two counties, the significance is not to be trivial, and once the Jeju Metropolitan Government is officially recognized by the future Goryeo royal family and Fusang Dazaifu, the East China Sea, which is more than 10,000 miles wide, will become the inland sea of the new empire.

In order to achieve this goal, Lin Jian has taken advantage of the southward migration of the people from the north over the years, and has continuously relocated Han people to Jeju and Dongju, so that the population of Jeju and Dongju has swelled to as much as 200,000, half of which are Han people who have moved to settle down in the local area, in addition to 30,000 or 40,000 merchants, shipwrights, sailors and employees who have gone to Haidong to trade all year round.

Zhen Feng, Saga Raiyuan, and Jinye, although they were folded in the hands of Lin Bin, they were not the heroes of the choice in Haidong; They all knew Lin Bin's intentions in their hearts, and they also knew that they had no ability to refuse to set up the Jeju Governor's Office to directly govern Jeju Island, the Goto Islands, and the Songpo Peninsula, and they only hoped to exchange this for some conditions that were more favorable to the family.

Saga Yorigen and Jinno hoped that Lin Jian would acquiesce to them to divide the territory of the Jiang clan equally, while Zhen Feng hoped that Lin Jian could send stronger combat power to Haidong, so that he could overthrow the old Goryeo dynasty held hostage by Prime Minister Zuo Jing as soon as possible.

The war on the Goryeo Peninsula was in full swing, and the state minister Zuo Jing Deyan Hu returned 20,000 soldiers, and the momentum soared, and nearly 150,000 troops were gathered south of Hanyang, hoping to put down the rebellion set off by the Zhen clan in Haiyang in one fell swoop.

At the banquet, Zhen Feng was a little eager to ask Lin Jian for more troops.

Lin Jian sat on a high seat, smiled and pointed to Hu Qiaoguan and the others who were in the second row of the left row to accompany the banquet and said: "They are the generals selected by this court to help in the battle in Goryeo, and King Zhonglie has also gotten along with them for a long time, can you still be satisfied?" The Haidong camp army will be increased to the establishment of three town divisions, and on the basis of the original men and horses, the Danluo Wang Wei Army and the Dongju Shuibu Army will be expanded to form a mixed Shuibu Town Division, with Jeju Governor Fan Wenshu as the commander; In addition, Qiao Guan and the others will also select strong soldiers in Haizhou to form a new town division and go to Haidong to reinforce ......"

If the Haidong Xingying Army really wants to be expanded to three town divisions, it will be the scale of 40,000 to 50,000 Shuibu soldiers, and with Zhen's own expansion plan, the total strength of joint operations in Goryeo will also reach as much as 150,000; At least in terms of troops, they will be able to compete with the army of the old Goryeo dynasty under the control of the prime minister Zuojing......

To tell the truth, Zhen Feng and the others came from overseas this time, and it happened that Hu Qiaoguan and they passed through Jeju Island in the name of the cadet team going to sea for training, so they came to Haizhou together on Jeju Island and got along for several days, but Hu Qiaoguan and others abided by military discipline, and Zhen Feng and others didn't know Lin Lian's plan to increase Haidong's troops before.

At this time, hearing Lin Jian say this, Zhen Feng also relieved himself.

Zhen Feng did not have the luxury of expecting Huaidong to directly send troops to participate in the land war, but hoped that Huaidong could suppress the Goryeo naval army controlled by the prime minister Zuo Jing in Hanyang in the advantageous warring states. Lin Jian expanded the Haidong Xingying Army to three town divisions, one town division was mainly composed of the water army, one town division was a mixed formation of the water infantry army, and one town division was mainly composed of horse infantry soldiers, which naturally in addition to suppressing the Goryeo naval army, he would also directly participate in the land battle.

Looking at Zhen Feng, who had fallen from the stone in his heart, Lin Jian smiled slightly, after last year's battle of Shangrao and Jingxiang, Huaidong's financial resources also had a sense of overdraft; Lin Jian promised Lin Mengde and others two or three years of recuperation, and he planned to use these two or three years to sort out the new policy.

Although it is said that there will be no large-scale war when it comes to rest and recuperate, the current scale of troops with less than 100,000 troops is not at all in Huaidong's case...... It's just that he went to Goryeo to fight, there is an adaptability problem, Lin Jian will not send enough reinforcements all at once, his ultimate goal, in addition to helping the Zhen clan overthrow the old Goryeo dynasty, is also to unite with the Zhen clan to attack Yanhu's Liaodong from the eastern flank.

Even if Yan Hu gave up the land of Yan Ji and retreated to Liaodong at this time, Lin Jian would never let them go.

Reinforcing the Zhen clan and sending troops to participate in the Goryeo Civil War was only a prelude to the strategy of Lin Bin's Northern Expedition and attacking Yanhu from two fronts; In the real Northern Expedition, Lin Jian wanted to divide the thousands of miles of seamounts from Guanzhong in the west to the Goryeo Peninsula in the east into the battlefield of pacifying Yanhu.
