    Cheng Yousheng didn't realize the meaning of Feng Jian's words at all. He rubbed his nose and said: "Xu Yannian, Zhao Shougang, and Shen Xiaoshan are the pillars of Zhenshan Camp. There is no need to consider it. Zhuang Yingchang and Zhang Wentai are familiar with water."  Division combat navigation, but after all, it was too short to join, and I really didn¡¯t think of a suitable candidate for a while. " Seeing Feng Jianzheng looking at him with a playful look, he suddenly understood that the commander already had a suitable candidate in mind.  , this is just considering yourself.  Feng Jian smiled and said: "You talked a lot, but you missed one person. I think this person is the suitable battalion officer for the future naval battalion!" Cheng Yousheng rubbed his nose and said: "Who did you miss?  ?" Feng Jian pointed at Cheng Yousheng and said, "Count everyone else, but forget yourself!" Cheng Yousheng thought for a moment, but instead of looking happy, he said with a sad face: "Commander, what did you do wrong?  You should be beaten and scolded, but don't let the villain leave your side!" Feng Jian felt a little moved, "Cheng Zi, I don't want to drive you away. You have been following me for more than a year and have become my right-hand man.  It is something that is obvious to all. There are many things that others cannot understand, but you can do it very well for me. Now that we are developing rapidly in Huluyan, we lack useful manpower in all aspects. The naval camp is crucial to our future development, so I  It is necessary to send a close person to serve as the battalion officer, and you are the most suitable candidate. This will also be of great help to your future development. "Feng Jian's words should be from the bottom of his heart. Cheng Yousheng could naturally tell it and was moved.  .  The words were a little choked and he said: "But I really want to stay by your side to serve you" Feng Jian waved his hand to interrupt him and said: "Speaking of this in advance, you only need to know what you are doing. The ice-breaking operation is about to begin.  Let¡¯s get started, let¡¯s get the warship first!¡± Suddenly, Huang Jinjiang, a member of the Guards Battalion outside the cabin, poked his head.  Feng Jian asked: "Omi, what's the matter?" "Commander, the personal guard of Lord Haiphong Dao Wang off the ship came to deliver an order, ordering all officers and soldiers stationed in the Navy to go to the south gate of Shuicheng immediately to accept dispatch. If you disobey the order, you will be punished afterwards.  There are sanctions imposed by the imperial court." Feng Jian curled his lips and said contemptuously: "Listen to this Haiphong Dao's order. It's obvious that he is not confident enough. Whether he can save his life or not is still a matter of course." He told Huang Jinjiang: "  Ignore him, let's see what he can do to me." "Yes, the villain saw most of the warships in the navy battalion lighting up outside the cabin, and the officers and soldiers on board were disembarking one after another to gather." Feng Jian waved his hand and said, "Get to the cabin.  Let¡¯s take a look outside.¡± He turned around and picked up the Japanese sword he carried with him and walked out of the cabin.  Cheng Yousheng and Huang Jinjiang hurriedly followed.  Arriving on the deck of the warship, the shouts of killing in Dengzhou City to the south were more clearly audible, and bursts of fire could be faintly seen on the east side of Dengzhou City.  The officers and soldiers on the warships of the naval camp were disembarking one after another. By the light of the fire, many officers and soldiers could be seen not even wearing uniforms, and they were gathering under the warships in a mess.  The chaotic situation in Dengzhou City prompted the officials stationed in Shuicheng to take urgent action. Dengzhou Navy Tang Guards followed the orders of the Taoist King of Haiphong.  He constantly urged the officers and soldiers of each warship to speed up their actions and go to the south gate wall of Shuicheng as soon as possible to strengthen the defense.  Tang Shouwei stood on the shore and saw that although the ten warships of the Zhou Flood Camp were also brightly lit, they were silent on board.  The officers and soldiers on the warship had no intention of participating in the defense of the city wall.  Tang Shoubei looked at the messy naval officers and soldiers on the shore, waved impatiently to one of his personal guards, and ordered: "Go again and give orders to the Pingdu Prefecture Flood Camp garrison. Ask the officers and soldiers of other prefecture Flood Camps why they haven't disembarked from the ship to assemble.  , Do you want to be disobedient and disrespectful?" Naturally, this personal guard is Tang Shoubei's confidant.  He took a step closer and said: "Master, the army is in chaos right now. Dengzhou City is about to be captured by Kong Youde's rebel troops. This is the time when people are panicking. Pingduzhou Flood Camp is not under the jurisdiction of our navy, and we will not go to help defend the water city despite our orders."  , Lord Haiphong Dao Wang will punish the crime, we can do more than do less, why bother to offend people out of thin air?" Tang Shoubei twisted his fat waist and looked at the Pingduzhou Flood Camp warship for a while, and said with some reluctance: "All the navymen!  All the officers and soldiers went to defend the city, but the people under the Pingdu Prefecture Flood Camp are special! Let¡¯s let these people live for a few days, and then we can argue with these people after Kong Youde¡¯s rebels are driven out of Dengzhou.¡± Feng Jian stood at the bow of the Fu Ship.  Position, followed by Cheng Yousheng, Huang Jinjiang and other personal guards. Due to the different angles, standing on the boat can clearly see the actions of the people on the shore. Feng Jian and others saw all the actions of the Dengzhou Yingtang garrison.  .  Cheng Yousheng curled his lips and said disdainfully, "What does our Pingdu Navy have to do with him? He is actually dictating what time it is. This dog officer of the Navy is still showing off his authority!" Huang Jinjiang echoed Cheng Yousheng and said, "Yes, this dog officer  If he really wants to show off, I will kill him with one blow." Feng ?He frowned and stared at the direction where Tang Shou and his guards were leaving, and said, "It seems that this guard is anxious. I don't know how Niu Liang and the other three will send each other away." Cheng Yousheng said, "I think these three people are all slippery.  As long as you give enough benefits to a greedy person like Tang Shou, it shouldn't be difficult to achieve your goal." Feng Jian stared at Tang Shou Bei's figure and said, "I'm not worried about whether Niu Liang and the others can cope with this Tang Shou Bei.  If Tang Shou remains in Shuicheng and refuses to leave, it will have a great impact on our upcoming plans." Shen Xiaoshan said: "What's the point? If Tang Shou really stays in the navy camp, I will take him with him.  The guards will kill this idiot directly, and no one can find out anything in the chaos of war." In the early morning of the 10th day of the first lunar month of the fifth year of Chongzhen's reign, the sky was almost bright, and the sounds of gunfire and shouts of death came from Dengzhou City!  Within a few miles of the earthquake, thick smoke rose into the sky from the city.  The officers and soldiers of the Dengzhou Navy finally rushed to the head of Shuicheng City to participate in the defense of the city wall under the strict supervision of Tang Guards.  In a room in the gate building of the south gate of Shuicheng, Wang Hui of Dengzhou Haiphong Road sat in the middle of the room with an anxious look on his face, listening to the Shuicheng garrison describing the city defense situation. In the room, there was also a colleague from the Haiphong Road official sitting in the room. His experience, Shuicheng Shui  Division garrison officer, city gate garrison officer and other important officials in Shuicheng.  Wang Hui's actual official position was Shandong Chief Secretary Qianshi Denglai Supervisor of Military Affairs, and he was a fourth-grade civil servant. Wang Zheng and Denglai Governor Sun Yuanhua were church members, and they were both proficient in Western learning and Western tools. Unlike Sun Yuanhua, who specialized in making firearms and cannons, he  He has conducted extensive research on Western machinery manufacturing.  When Sun Yuanhua became the governor of Denglai, Wang Hui gave up the high-ranking official position given by the court and accepted the invitation of Sun Yuanhua, a fellow believer, to work with him in Dengzhou.  Sun Yuanhua was naturally very happy to see this like-minded church member coming. Together, the two could discuss each other's doctrines and their experiences in making Western utensils.  So the imperial court appointed Wang Hui as the Supervisor of the Military Road in Dengzhou to supervise the Dengzhou Navy. The official office was located in Shuicheng. Because it was in charge of the navy officers and soldiers' food and salary, warship supplies and the navy's maritime defense, the navy officers and soldiers usually called it  For Haiphong Road.  This is definitely an official position that combines real power and wealth. Most people can't get it with money. Wang Hui is better off. Because he is obsessed with Western learning all day long, he doesn't care about his official position and leaves most of the things to his staff.  He rarely interfered, so he put the Dengzhou Navy into a situation where he had to take advantage of others.  At the beginning, when Kong Youde's rebel troops besieged Dengzhou City, Wang Hui scoffed. He simply did not believe that Kong Youde's mere thousands of rebel troops could capture Dengzhou City.  When they learned that Zhang Keda and Zhang Tao's troops were defeated by Kong Youde's rebels outside the city, and Zhang Tao's Liao soldiers defected to the rebels one after another, they became nervous and directly ordered the deployment of some naval officers and soldiers to help defend the water city wall.  This night, I suddenly heard shouts of killing coming from Dengzhou City. I heard the report from my personal guards that Dengzhou City might have been captured by the rebels of Kong Youde and Li Jiucheng. The first thing that came to my mind was to worry about the safety of my fellow Catholic Governor Sun Yuanhua.  , Sun Yuanhua strongly advocated appeasing the Kong Youde rebels outside the city. Who would have thought that the rebels would have the ability to directly capture Dengzhou City!  At the same time, an order was immediately issued to the Dengzhou Navy to defend it, and all officers and soldiers of the Navy must go to Shuicheng to assist in the defense.  The Shuicheng garrison in Dengzhou was a local and spoke in the local dialect. Wang Hui and other outsiders had to listen carefully to understand the meaning. Therefore, the Shuicheng garrison tried to slow down his speech: "Sir, Shuicheng Zhenyang Gate and Dengzhou  The city's Zhenhai Gate is three or four miles apart, and the two cities are separated by a Mi Shui River that runs through the city from Dengzhou City. " "Kong Youde's rebels want to attack Shuicheng. They must first pass through the connecting bridge between the two cities. Our Shuicheng.  There are two Hongyi cannons fixed on the city wall of Zhenyang Gate, and Folang machine guns are also fixed on the east and west walls. " "We have a dedicated Hongyi General gunner among our naval officers and soldiers. If Kong Youde's rebels come from the direction of Zhenyang Gate.  When attacking Shuicheng, the walls of Shuicheng will be directly aimed at the direction of the connecting bridge and bombarded, making it difficult for the rebels to get close to our Shuicheng." Wang Hui said: "What Fang Guard means is that as long as the Hongyi artillery is there, even if Kong Youde's rebels occupy Dengzhou City, they will not be able to capture it.  Shuicheng?" The guard said: "I just said that when Kong Youde's rebels didn't use artillery, they couldn't capture Shuicheng. Don't forget, sir, that there are also two red Yi general cannons placed on the wall of Zhenhaimen at the north gate of Dengzhou City.  Once someone in Kong Youde's rebel army knows how to fire the general cannon and directly bombard the water city wall, the situation will become uncontrollable!" Wang Hui was a little confused and asked: "Since our Hongyi general can contain the rebels, there is nothing we can do!  By passing the connecting bridge, it will be okay even if the opponent's Hongyi artillery bombards Shuicheng?" Tang Guard, the navy commander on the side, bowed to Wang Huiyi and said: "Sir, if our Hongyi artillery fires one ammunition, it will lose one, and Kong Youde's rebels captured it.  If we go to Dengzhou City, we will have control over the arsenal. WeThe ammunition reserves of the barbarian cannons are all stored in the Dengzhou arsenal, so we cannot fire for a long time, but Kong Youde's rebels can bombard the water city walls to their heart's content.  " When Wang Hui heard this, his face suddenly turned ugly, and he said anxiously: "What should we do? Are there so many people in Shuicheng that we can only just stare and let Kong Youde come in!  " ! (To be continued)
