    Zhang Wentai didn't expect that his casual words would trigger such a huge reaction from the commander. He looked at Feng Jian in shock.  When Feng Jian paused, Zhang Wentai hurriedly said: "Commander, many of the 500 navy officers and soldiers under my command are closely related to the officials of Haiphong Dao Yamen. I will send them to find people to find out about the identity of Lord Haiphong Dao."  If you follow me personally, you will definitely get the exact news from the governor's office." Feng Jian looked anxious and waved his hand: "Wen Tai will go quickly to make arrangements. If you get the news, come and report it immediately." Zhuang Yingchang led Niu Liang and other three Dengzhou navy commanders.  The president had just reached the door of Feng Jian's cabin when he suddenly saw Zhang Wentai walking out in a hurry.  "Wen Tai, why are you going in such a hurry?" Zhuang Yingchang asked.  Zhang Wentai pulled Zhuang Yingchang aside and the two whispered a few words. Then Zhang Wentai greeted Niu Liang and the others and left in a hurry.  Zhuang Yingchang's face became a little nervous. It was obvious that a major change had occurred in the cabin. Niu Liang and the other three were so sophisticated that they could naturally see it.  Zhuang Yingchang turned to the three of them and said: "To be fair to the three captains, the garrison in the cabin has important matters to deal with. Please go to the cabin to rest first, and I will excuse myself for a while." Niu Liang and the three looked at each other, Niu Liang  He said: "Lao Zhuang, although you are busy with your work, the three of us have nothing important to do. When we are free tomorrow, the three of us will come to visit the commander another day!" Zhuang Yingchang quickly apologized: "Okay, let the three brothers  It's a waste of time, but don't worry, the three of you, the Lord Guard has promised that as long as we follow our agreement, no matter whether the matter succeeds or fails, the three of you will be able to get the remaining silver." The three of them were overjoyed.  They all said in unison: "Then thank you, Mr. Guard, and ask Lao Zhuang to tell Mr. Guard. The three of us are also people of our word, and what we promised will be kept strictly confidential and implemented seriously. The three of us will definitely come someday.  Visit!" After sending the three people off the ship, Zhuang Yingchang quickly walked to Feng Jian's cabin. As soon as he entered Feng Jian's cabin, he heard Cheng Yousheng reporting: "The most direct way is to bribe the officials of the governor's office. My subordinates have already sent  A few smart brothers went to Dengzhou City" Feng Jian waved his hand and interrupted Cheng Yousheng: "I don't want to hear the specific arrangements. I just want to know how the governor of Dengzhou City arranged the arrangements as quickly as possible." Feng Jian raised his eyes and looked up.  When Zhuang Yingchang came in, he casually said: "Lao Zhuang, why are you the only one coming in? Where are the other three people?" Zhuang Yingchang hurriedly said: "Niu Liang and the others said they would come to visit the commander another day, and they have now disembarked." Feng Jian nodded and said:  "That's good. These three people are quite aware of current affairs. We can communicate more someday." Feng Jian said, his brows furrowed into the word "Chuan" again, "Lao Zhuang, you said the four gates of Dengzhou City will be closed for an hour.  What's the mystery behind this sudden opening? " Zhuang Yingchang had just heard Zhang Wentai say a few words, so he said: "I feel that Dengzhou City suddenly opened the closed city gate and allowed ordinary people to enter and exit.  . It can only be said that the major events that occurred in Dengzhou City have been resolved, or that the governor's office has realized that the major events that occurred in Dengzhou City have nothing to do with it. " Cheng Yousheng interrupted: "I think today is New Year's Eve, and the troops of the enemy hunting division have nothing to do with it.  A sudden departure from the city will definitely attract attention. The governor's office can find out the abnormality by sending someone to inquire about the situation in and out of the city. Governor Sun must have noticed that the foreign craftsmen have left the city!" Feng Jian nodded and said, "I am also worried about this, since Governor Sun knows about it.  The foreign craftsmen have been kidnapped outside the city, and they will definitely find ways to send people to chase them. Don't forget, there are 20,000 troops stationed outside Dengzhou City. Once Governor Sun orders the military camp outside the city to send troops to chase, the enemy hunting department will be in danger! " Zhuang Yingchang!  It was vaguely known that Shen Xiaoshan and Liedisi went to Dengzhou City with the purpose of taking more than 20 foreign craftsmen out of Dengzhou City.  This will prevent these foreign craftsmen from surrendering to the rebels and raising money in the future.  It seems that the tense atmosphere in Dengzhou City today is all related to the Enemy Hunting Division, just as the commander said.  Once the military camp outside the city sends troops to hunt down the enemy, things will really get into trouble!  Zhuang Yingchang usually has little contact with the enemy hunting department.  Originally, I wasn't very concerned about whether the enemy-hunting department soldiers would have any accidents, but at this time, we were facing a plot to plot against the Shuicheng ships. Once an enemy-hunting department soldier had an accident and affected the next actions, it would be more of a loss than the gain!  Thinking of this, Zhuang Yingchang suddenly felt worried.  Jiang Yu, who was standing next to Feng Jin, kept his brows furrowed. After Feng Jin finished speaking, he bowed directly to Feng Jin and said: "Dengzhou City sent an order to the camp outside the city. The camp outside the city mobilized troops to chase me."  Brothers from the Enemy Hunting Division, there will be a delay. Please don¡¯t wait for the outside investigators to bring back the news. Instead, you should immediately give the order and send people to warn the two enemy hunting divisions and ask them to prepare countermeasures!  " Cheng Yousheng has been with Feng Jian for a long time. He knew that the commander was weighing the pros and cons in his mind at this time, so he consciously said "Above, I didn't dare to disturb Feng Jian's thinking.  After Jiang Yu finished speaking, he saw that Feng Jian had no comment on his suggestion. Instead, he frowned and tapped the table with the five fingers of his right hand rhythmically. It was obvious that he was not very calm inside.  He waited expectantly for the commander's decision.  The cabin fell into a brief silence. Suddenly Feng Jian hit the table with his right hand and looked at the people in the cabin. He turned to Jiang Yu and said, "I have heard your suggestion. Now I can't eliminate the danger by just warning them.  The only way is to fight against the pursuing officers and soldiers and drive them back to ensure the safety of the enemy hunting division. "Zhuang Yingchang asked with concern: "The enemy hunting division has few soldiers, but there are not many chasing troops.  I'm afraid it's not appropriate for the officers and soldiers of the Dengzhou Battalion to fight each other!" Feng Jian said in a crisp voice: "Who said I wanted to fight against the enemy?" Feng Jian had no time to pay attention to Zhuang Yingchang's stunned expression and continued: "  Cheng Zi immediately sent an order to the bird gun soldiers Mashan and Yang Baizhi, asking the bird gun soldiers to change into civilian clothes and be fully armed to prepare to rescue the enemy hunting division. " Zhuang Yingchang became anxious upon hearing this and forgot about his questions from the previous days.  Feng Jian was scolded for his decision. He said: "Commander, this is not appropriate. The sudden departure of six hundred fully armed gunmen from the city will definitely arouse the vigilance of the Shuicheng officials, thus preventing the gunmen from leaving the city and conducting a detailed investigation."  I'm afraid it will affect our overall plan. In addition, if the gunpowder soldiers are all gone, who will make the gunpowder bags and who will guard the gunpowder soldiers station?" Feng Jian's face darkened and he ignored Zhuang Yingchang's reminder and asked Cheng Yousheng.  : "The bird gun soldiers were led by Mashan and Yang Baishi each with one hundred bird gun soldiers, and Jiang Yu served as the guide. They set off towards the official roads in the east and west directions of Dengzhou City. They found that the enemy hunting division was attacked by the officers and soldiers of the Dengzhou Battalion.  To pursue them, just use the muskets and work together with the enemy hunting department to kill the pursuing soldiers of the Dengzhou Battalion. "Cheng Yousheng asked: "Does the commander need to tell Mashan and Yang Bayiban in person?" Feng Jian shook his head and said.  The matter was urgent, and they were asked to set off immediately after gathering. They were asked to leave the city through the east gate of Shuicheng, so that they could shorten the meeting with the soldiers of the Hunting Division led by Liu Rongsheng. The guards at the city gate gave them more silver coins, so they would not deliberately create difficulties.  " Feng Jian then told Jiang Yu: "You lead a group of gunmen to pursue Shen Xiaoshan and his party as soon as possible. It is best if you can find a way to avoid the pursuit of the Dengzhou camp. If you can't avoid it, you should also find a way to reduce your own casualties.  The gun soldiers followed the enemy hunter back to Huluyan. "Jiang Yu said loudly, "I'll take it for granted!" He turned around and followed Cheng Yousheng out of the cabin.  Zhuang Yingchang has a stubborn temper, which is the easiest to offend others. The fact that he and Zhang Wentai were excluded from the Dengzhou Navy may also be related to this character.  He saw that Feng Jin ignored him, and when Cheng Yousheng and Jiang Yu left, he bowed to Feng Jin and continued to argue.  Feng Jian was anxious, waved his hand to him, and said patiently: "Old Zhuang, you may not know that the foreign craftsmen rescued by the Hunter Division from Dengzhou City are the craftsmen who specialize in making Dengzhou Hongyi cannons. These people  Staying in Dengzhou City will only benefit Kong Youde's rebels in the future. The Hunter Enemy Division tried their best to rescue these people from Dengzhou City. If Feng Jian's inaction caused the Hunter Enemy Division to suffer casualties, the foreign craftsmen would be invaded again.  I will never allow the state camp to be recaptured. " "But" Feng Jian immediately stopped him and said, "Lao Zhuang, don't be too persistent in everything. The departure of the Bird Gun Soldiers will have limited impact on our overall plan, but it will have a limited impact on the enemy hunting department.  But it is crucial. With the help of the Bird Gun Soldiers, the Hunter Division may be able to escape from danger, but on the contrary, it may be in dire straits. " Shen Xiaoshan and his party of more than 40 riders and five carriages were heading towards Dengzhou.  As we walked along the Zhaoyuan official road, the snowflakes gradually stopped. At this time, there was at least two inches of snow on the ground. It was not a big deal to walk on the official road by horse, but it was a bit difficult for the carriage to walk on the road.  Therefore, if you want to speed up your journey, you cannot speed up.  The speed of the carriage was not as fast as walking on foot.  Shen Xiaoshan and Guo Tai were anxious, but they couldn't think of a way to speed up their progress.  At this time, Niu'er came up and said to Shen Xiaoshan: "There is a foreign craftsman who calls himself "Lu Ruohan" and repeatedly talks about the terms he wants to negotiate with Shen Tou'er. He hopes that Shen Tou'er will give him a chance!" Shen Xiaoshan sighed:  "We should explain a few words to these foreigners, inform them of the situation they are facing, and try to restore them to normal." Guo Tai said: "It is easy to meet these people, but how to persuade them to cooperate is a big problem. Brother Shen has to figure out how to deal with it.  "Shen Xiaoshan scratched his head and said: "Lao Guo, do you have any way to make these foreigners obey?" Guo Taitou shook his head and continued: "It's nothing more than threats and inducements, as long as these foreign craftsmen can work.  He was obedient along the way and cooperated with us all the way back to Huluyan, while completing the important task entrusted by the commander.?? It was almost noon, and it was almost two hours since Shen Xiaoshan and his party left Dengzhou City. Shen Xiaoshan and the others were traveling southward along the official road for almost ten miles. In front of them was Mi Shen Mountain. As long as they passed through Mi Shen Mountain smoothly, they would be able to  Temporarily out of danger, only a few messy hoof prints of three horses and traces of five or six carriage wheels were left on the winding official road.  !  !  (To be continued)
