    Cheng Yousheng was a little uneasy, glanced at Niu Liang and the others, and agreed: "Yes, in my opinion, we should simply capture the remaining three commanders of the navy warships, and let the navy officers and soldiers control all the warships in advance to avoid  An accident will happen then." In a blink of an eye, they saw Niu Liang and the other two people looking disapproving. Seeing this scene, Cheng Yousheng felt at ease.  Zhuang Yingchang hurriedly stopped him and said: "No, at this critical moment, if there is an accident, the gain will outweigh the loss. Why not wait patiently and wait for Kong Youde's rebel troops to capture Dengzhou City? As long as the situation becomes chaotic, the Haiphong Dao King will definitely mobilize the remaining navy  The officers and soldiers will defend the city. At that time, the officers and soldiers of the Zhou Flood Camp will be able to calmly control the remaining warships of the Navy." Feng Jian rubbed his forehead with his hands. He had been spending the past few days in nervousness and anxiety, wondering whether the rebels would capture it as he remembered.  Dengzhou City, this is related to whether he can get the Dengzhou Navy warship. Looking at his bloodshot eyes, you can tell that he must not have slept well these days!  Tonight in my memory is the time when the former Dongjiang soldiers inside and outside Dengzhou City responded to each other and captured Dengzhou City. Can this moment in history happen as scheduled?  He was not sure in his heart, and the waiting process was the most torturous.  Feng Jian closed his eyes and tried to calm down his anxious and excited mind. After listening to Zhuang Yingchang's words, Feng Jian opened his bloodshot eyes and said: "Yes, the more critical the moment, the more important it is to calm down." This seems to be true.  Cheng Yousheng said that it seemed to be relieving his own anxiety.  Cheng Yousheng nodded and said: "Yes, what Lao Zhuang said makes sense!" Niu Liang said: "Master Feng, I humbly consider that the navy station uses gunpowder to break the ice continuously. The huge earthquake caused by it will not only make everyone in Shuicheng aware of it, but even capture the landing."  Kong Youde's rebel troops in Zhoucheng will also be alarmed. Once they discover that the Denglai naval warships are leaving, they will definitely attack Shuicheng. However, the Shuicheng defenders may not be fully committed to defending, so they need to be prepared in advance.  According to the conduct of Mr. Wang Hui of Haiphong Road, once he learned that the naval warship could leave Shuicheng, he would immediately board the ship and leave regardless of anything else. " Cheng Yousheng said with disdain: "How can this Haiphong Road man board the ship without asking any questions?  You have no brains!" Zhuang Yingchang twirled his short beard and said with a smile: "Seeing that all the navy's ships can leave Shuicheng, I must have doubts in my heart, but in times of crisis, I won't worry too much and escape.  Life is at stake. " Feng Jian turned his attention to Niu Liang and the others. Although the three of them agreed to assist their side, they did not understand the entire plan to seize the ship.  At this time, Niu Liang suggested taking precautions in advance.  It shows that he began to put himself in the shoes of this action.  Feng Jian said to Niu Liang: "Once the ice-breaking operation starts, the warships leave the dock berth, and the distance between the water and the land will be widened. At this time, even if Kong Youde's troops capture Shuicheng, they can only stare at it. The ice-breaking will indeed alarm Dengzhou."  Everyone, the most dangerous period is between the time when the ice is broken and when the warship leaves the dock. Of course, I have taken precautions. The four hundred gunmen under my command will remain vigilant at all times and will not attack anyone who comes to harass them.  I won't show mercy." Niu Liang asked, "Even if Mr. Wang comes, he will stop him?" Cheng Yousheng said "hum".  "That's inevitable. We can't go through all the trouble to sail the warship away and let Mr. Wang take advantage." Hearing Cheng Yousheng say this, Niu Liang's expression changed a little.  Zhan Yuan and Lan Zhengji, who were standing on one side, also looked worried. They had never been able to guess the purpose of the Pingdu Prefecture Flood Camp garrison who worked so hard to save the naval fleet. Now listening to their conversation, it seemed that  Wants to take all the ships as his own.  The appetite is so great that the three of them can't help but worry about their future!  Feng Jian could see the changes in the expressions of the three of them.  "You three, please rest assured that the warships of the Dengzhou Navy escaped from the control of Kong Youde's rebels. I will report to the court and return all the warships to the court. Instead of blaming them, the court will reward them." Hearing Feng Jian  In this way, although Niu Liang and the others still have doubts, when things have reached this point, they can only move on.  The three of them secretly sent their families away a few days ago, so they would have no worries when the war broke out. Therefore, they gradually put away their worries and began to think about how to properly evacuate Dengzhou Water City.  Feng Jian turned to Zhang Wentai and said: "Wentai, the officers and soldiers of the state flood camp are ready to take over the warships at any time. When boarding the ship, if any officers and soldiers on duty block them, just kill them. In addition, send people to clear the ice floes around each warship at any time.  " Zhang Wentai bowed and began to explain his arrangements: "My subordinates have made arrangements. Each warship is assigned an average of forty people, all led by naval veterans, which is enough to sail the warship out of Shuicheng and onto the sea.  Taking advantage of the wind is even more labor-saving. The disadvantage is that there is no defense on the warship. However, each warship is equipped with a group of artillerymen. The artillery can be used at critical times." Feng Jian nodded and said: "The officers and soldiers of the Zhou Flood Camp control the warship.  All kinds of preparation work must be done.There may be no delay, but I would like to remind everyone that naval officers and soldiers are sailing at night in such a harsh environment, so they must protect the safety of the ship itself!  " Zhuang Yingchang said: "The thickness of the ice layer on the water surface is about one inch now. It is not clear whether the gunpowder package can explode the ice layer into pieces. If the ice layer is exploded, large ice floes will still remain on the water surface, which may cause damage to the warship.  .  " Feng Jian sighed: "Because the ice surface is very thick, the appearance of ice floes is inevitable. The only way is to place the gunpowder bags more densely, so that the size of the ice floes will not damage the hull of the warship.  ¡± The Zhenshan Camp Bird Gun Soldier Station is brightly lit, and the remaining four hundred Bird Gun Soldiers have received orders. All soldiers must be fully equipped and ready to carry out major operations at any time. Wan Youfa is the third commander of the 3000 Headquarters of Zhenshan Camp.  After Mashan and Yang Baoshi left, he was temporarily appointed as the commander-in-chief of the 400 Gun Soldiers by Commander Feng Jian. At this time, he was inspecting the temporary residence of the Gun Soldiers, which should be said as the 3,000 Headquarters Birds.  The gun soldiers had experienced the battle with the Daqingfeng Cavalry. The soldiers' tension and anxiety before the battle were greatly reduced. During the inspection, they saw several battalion supervisors coming in and out of the gun soldiers' barracks from time to time to comfort and enlighten the soldiers before the battle.  A dark main room was the focus of his inspection. He saw four soldiers from the Guards Battalion standing outside the main room holding waist knives. A few steps further outside was a group of cannon soldiers patrolling back and forth. No irrelevant personnel were allowed.  Approaching here, you can see that the defense here is very tight. This hall is where the gunpowder bags are stored. If it is daytime, you can see that the hall is filled with many gunpowder bags of almost the same size.  It was sealed with oil paper, and a long lead wire was left outside. In order to prevent the lead wire from being doused by water, it was also wrapped in oil paper. He inspected all the important places, and Wan Youfa returned to his barracks and saw the gunpowder packets he had made earlier.  The twenty gun soldiers had arrived at their barracks. When they saw Wan Youfa, the twenty of them stood up and saluted. After returning the salute, Wan Youfa said directly: "I received the commander's order, Kong Youde will rebel tonight.  To capture Dengzhou City, we must take advantage of the chaos and leave all the naval warships away from Shuicheng.  You are the makers of the gunpowder packets. The Commander-in-Chief has specially ordered that the task of burning and exploding the powder packets to break open the ice will be left to you tonight.  " As he spoke, his voice suddenly amplified: "Can you complete the task?  "    "able!  " Twenty people in the barracks responded loudly and in unison. Wan Youfa nodded and said: "Before the action, the commander of the Zhou Flood Camp, Zhuang Yingchang, will personally arrange the specific actions for you. Do you have any other requirements?  " Twenty people shook their heads. How are the gunpowder packets placed, how are they ignited, and what is the distance between them? It is useless to ask Wan Youfa these questions. He can't answer them. But before taking action, someone will give a detailed explanation. These twenty people  The gunman knew what was going on It was almost three o'clock in the morning, and suddenly there was a sound of people neighing and shouting from Dengzhou City, and the sound of killing was heard far away in the quiet night. The mood of everyone who had been staying in Feng Jian's cabin was high.  Suddenly from anxiety to nervousness and excitement, the commander is really amazing. Kong Youde's rebels have indeed attacked Dengzhou City tonight, and the shouts of killing are mixed with ordinary people's cries for mercy, which means that Kong Youde's rebels have indeed invaded Dengzhou.  City! Feng Jian took a long breath. This moment in history finally happened as planned. He smiled and said to everyone: "It depends on what I do. Now start acting as planned.  " "Follow your orders!  " Feng Jian continued to order: "Zhang Wentai, send someone to pay close attention to the movements of the officers and soldiers on those warships; Niu Liang, Zhan Yuan, and Lan Zhengji, the three generals, will return to their respective warships first.  The navy officers and soldiers were asked to go to the city wall to assist in the defense and delay it as much as possible. Zhuang Yingchang immediately went to the cannon soldiers' station to arrange for the cannon soldiers to use gunpowder packets to break the ice, and acted accordingly.  " After Feng Jian gave a series of instructions and saw a few people leaving the cabin, he could hardly control his suppressed excitement. He had been looking forward to and planning for a long time, and now the fruits of victory were close before his eyes. Of course, he was picking the fruits.  There will be many difficulties in the process. At this time, no one or anything can stop Feng Jian from his determination to seize these one hundred naval warships. Cheng Yousheng on the side can't hide his excitement. He has been with Feng Jian all year round.  When doing things, he could not help but imitate some of Feng Jian's ways of doing things. He was deeply influenced by Feng Jian. From the beginning, he was a minority participant in Dengzhou's plan to seize Dengzhou Navy warships.  Because he has been with Feng Jian all year round, Feng Jian can use it easily and let him do many things. At this time, he sees that the action that took several months to plan and put in hard work is about to bear fruit.  He was no less excited than Feng Jian when he saw the fruit.??The bodyguard who follows him hard-working and uncomplaining is naturally loyal to him. More importantly, his way of doing things is very similar to his. Both of them have a factor in their bones that dares to take risks at critical moments. Yvonne  It seems that with a little more training, Cheng Yousheng can be released to stand alone.  Thinking of this, his mood suddenly changed, and Feng Jian asked: "Cheng Zi, seeing that these warships are readily available, these warships will be crucial to the development of our Huluyan in the future, so a capable person must be selected to take charge of these warships, what do you think?"  Who among us is suitable for this position?"  !  (To be continued)
