    Seeing that Chen sometimes was in a daze, Feng Jian smiled and explained: "My officers and soldiers always perform this military salute when they meet. Lord Chen will understand in the future." Chen sometimes said "oh" and imitated Liu Zongxi's actions to Feng Jian  A military salute was performed.  As a veteran of the military, I obviously feel that implementing this simple salute in the military is simple and practical, and is much better than those red tapes.  He secretly decided to implement it among his subordinates after returning home.  Chen sometimes said "oh" and followed Liu Zongxi's action in returning a military salute.  Most of the officers in the headquarters have had Chen's experience, so they all smiled knowingly.  Everyone else in the headquarters had met, so Feng Jian stopped introducing them one by one and turned to Cheng Yousheng: "Immediately after the meeting, send a letter to Sun Fang and Qin Huaibao of the Huluyan Mutual Aid Association, asking them to immediately mobilize 3,000 shi of grain and transport it to  At the Jiao Lai He Prefecture Flood Camp Pier, the Fushan Fleet sent warships back to Pingdu to transfer the food supplies collected by Huluyan to Lushunkou, and first distributed three months of food and salary to the officers and soldiers guarding Lushun. " Turning to Chen Youchang.  Said: "Mr. Chen, please provide a list of soldiers. When the time comes, the list will be distributed according to the facts. I would like to remind you that any behavior of taking empty pay and drinking soldiers' blood is never allowed under my command, and will not be tolerated once discovered.  " Chen Shichi's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly confessed: "I dare not accept my humble position. I have had empty wages before. That was because my wages were always deducted by the old thief Huang Long. I acted out of desperation. Now, I will provide food and wages for free.  No one in a humble position would dare to pay for nothing." Feng Jian nodded and continued: "The defense of Lushun is very important. Mr. Chen, you cannot stay here for a long time. Liu Zongxi will follow you back to Lushun after the meeting.  Let's go back together. In addition, I have ordered you to collect some food and salary in advance in Fushan Shuicheng to calm the mood of your officers and soldiers. Later, the full supply of food and salary will be shipped from Pingdu. " Feng Jian was so considerate.  Chen sometimes was naturally satisfied.  For a moment, I felt that taking refuge in this ambitious young garrison officer was not a bad thing. It was rare for a boss to always consider his subordinates.  Chen sometimes worries about the strength of the army that returns to Lushun with him, and whether he has elite soldiers under his command. If he can't even compete with the officers and soldiers under his command, how can he face the Eight Banners soldiers who established slaves.  Thinking about the long-term contact in the future, you will know whether you are an elite soldier or a strong general. You must know that your soldiers often have small-scale field battles with Jiannu. Almost every soldier has experienced the test of life and death. Therefore, the general army simply cannot  Will be noticed by Chen sometimes.  But he was curious.  Feng Jian dared to put 500 soldiers into Lushunkou, which shows that he has great confidence in his men. Isn't he afraid that over time, these soldiers will become the private soldiers of the generals?  Feng Jian doesn¡¯t have the same thoughts as Chen sometimes. He has just arranged things in Lushun and immediately receives the information from Jiao Keli. After receiving the information from Pan Zhaoying from the capital, Feng Jian¡¯s anxious heart finally relaxes.  Before leaving, Feng Jian ordered Jiao Keli to get the intelligence coming from the capital and read it first.  He also reported to Zhizhou Chen Suowen that the intelligence Pan Zhaoying sent back from the capital was delivered by carrier pigeons for two days and first reached Jiao Keli. Jiao Keli nervously opened the information and read it ten lines at a glance.  I felt inexplicably excited.  The biggest beneficiaries of the court ministers¡¯ game over Dengzhou¡¯s water city turned out to be Chen Suowen and Feng Jianweng¡¯s son-in-law. Of course, these two men were credited with successfully diverting Dengzhou naval warships during the Dengzhou war.  The bigger reason is probably due to the silver.  It is said that money can make all the difference, so Feng Jian spent a lot of money.  How can the big bosses in North Korea and China turn their backs on money?  After being excited for a while, Jiao Keli immediately reported the good news to Feng Jian in Fushan Shuicheng via carrier pigeon.  Then he went to the magistrate's office in person to report the good news to Chen Suowen.  After receiving this good news, Chen Suowen was so restless that he was suddenly surrounded by excitement. How could he not be excited?  Although the imperial edict from the imperial court has not yet arrived, Chen Suowen did not doubt the authenticity of the news.  Now he has an understanding of the strength hidden behind Feng Jian. The deeper he understands, the more inscrutable he feels about his son-in-law. He has always been unable to figure out that a bandit who comes from a farmer's family has some knowledge and experience even better than his own.  Deep people are wise.  It¡¯s really amazing to be able to predict all important things in advance and make various preparations.  He gradually felt that doing everything according to his son-in-law's requirements would bring him unpredictable benefits.  He had always been worried that he would endanger himself by playing games with each other among the imperial court officials. Unexpectedly, his son-in-law Feng Jian suddenly gave him the strategic skills of the Dengzhou Navy, which rescued him from the whirlpool. Now he was promoted to two levels in a row.  Become the coastal defense road in charge of Liaohai affairs,However, the Dengzhou Navy's food, wages, supplies, and warship supplies were all under its own jurisdiction.  Chen Wen knew clearly, and I am afraid that the emperor and the court ministers also knew that the navy's food and salary supplies were now abandoned in Dengzhou City, and the food and salary supplies provided by the court could not keep up for a while. It was not possible to maintain the daily expenses of this navy at this stage.  A small amount.  Thinking about it carefully, this kind of result is inevitable. Under Feng Jian's silver offensive, and with the intentional or unintentional push of the big guys in the DPRK and China, he and his son-in-law Feng Jian were able to successfully ascend to power.  It's just that how could the big shots in the DPRK and China know that Feng Jian, a small military officer, is actually a very wealthy tycoon. Not to mention anything else, the Jiaolai River alone collects enough taxes and money from cargo ships every day.  To support the Dengzhou Navy, not to mention the huge profits made by Feng Jian's many cargo ships that trafficked food and supplies to various places.  Chen Suowen is not an old-fashioned person. He has objections to Feng Jian's efforts to take control of the Dengzhou Naval Camp, but this does not prevent him from supporting him. Perhaps his glory and wealth in the rest of his life will be lost.  Son-in-law Feng Jian.  Now the power of food, wages, supplies and warship supplies is in his own hands, and the jurisdiction of the naval fleet is in the hands of his son-in-law Feng Jian. This is equivalent to the personal property of the Dengzhou naval fleet and his son-in-law. This is exactly what Feng Jian  Feng Jian, who is currently at Fushan Military Port, will be pleasantly surprised when he hears the news.  Chen Suowen calmed down his mood, turned to Jiao Keli and asked: "Has your commander known about this good news?" Jiao Keli quickly bowed and said: "The villain has quickly passed it on, and the commander will soon  I will receive the instructions before leaving. The commander has the full authority to handle the matter." Commander Chen Suowen nodded and said, "I will discuss this matter with him in detail when Feng Jian comes back." He smiled again.  Said: "This kid can't see anyone all day long. Is he busier than me?" Jiao Keli couldn't say anything, so he just laughed a few times.  Two days later, Feng Jian returned to Pingdu City and first came to the magistrate's office. Weng and his son-in-law sat together and discussed secretly for a long time behind closed doors.  After Feng Jian left, Chen Suowen's face showed a rare dignified expression. He still had doubts about what Feng Jian said. There were many prosperous and wealthy counties near Dengzhou. Kong Youde would really raise his troops to attack Ping.  Ducheng?  ¡°But Feng Jian¡¯s words were so conclusive that he had to believe a few copies.  Pingdu City has not experienced war for more than 200 years. There are no officers and soldiers to defend the city at all. The defensive facilities on the city wall have almost become decorations. If Kong Youde's rebels come to attack the city, the city can be broken with the limited defenses in the city!  It is really necessary to be broken through the city and the style of burning and robbery. The people in Pingdu City will inevitably be robbed. As a parental official, the city is naturally unavailable.  What is comforting is that Feng Jian seemed to be well prepared for the invasion of Kong Youde's troops. He stationed 3,000 soldiers in the flood camp outside the city. Once he discovered that Kong Youde led his troops to invade Pingdu, he would fight or retreat into the city to defend according to the situation.  Kong Youde's rebel soldiers have been in battle for a long time and are a group of tigers and wolves. It is not known whether the soldiers sent can withstand the attack of Kong Youde's rebel soldiers.  After all, Chen Suowen was a civil servant and had never experienced a war, so he was a little flustered when he heard what Feng Jian said. It was only after Feng Jian repeatedly assured that he had troops under his command that Kong Youde had no choice but to conquer the city that his mood became slightly more stable.  On the second day of the second lunar month in the fifth year of Chongzhen, Pingdu Prefecture Flood Camp Garrison Mansion was crowded with guests. Su Su, another wife of Feng Jian, gave birth to a baby boy. This was the first baby boy born in Feng Mansion within two months.  Three children, also Feng Jian's second son.  The welcoming hall of the garrison mansion was warm and cozy. The officials, gentry, and military and political leaders under Feng Jian gathered together and congratulated Mrs. Feng who was sitting in the hall.  Facing the congratulations from everyone, Feng¡¯s mother was so happy that she couldn¡¯t open her mouth from ear to ear. In her eyes, these three daughters-in-law were even more important than Feng¡¯s promotion and wealth by having children and continuation of the Feng family.  Feng Jian wears an eight-treasure scarf on his head, a sapphire blue lake silk robe, and a python leather belt around his waist. He is dressed like a handsome young man. He is smiling all over his face when facing everyone's flattery or sincere congratulations.  While they were laughing and joking, they suddenly saw Huang Jinjiang, the new captain of the guard, walking into the hall hurriedly and saying with a happy face: "Sir, an envoy from the Ministry of War is coming to read out the imperial edict. Just outside the hall, Master Chen, the magistrate of the state, invites you to go and greet the imperial edict."  The officials and gentry in Pingdu City did not know the news that Feng Jian had transferred the Dengzhou Naval Camp from Kong Youde's rebellious soldiers. Suddenly they heard that the Ministry of War sent someone to read out the imperial decree. They were confused for a while, and some people began to make random suspicions. In an instant, the hall  There was silence.  Feng Jian was overjoyed. This imperial edict was finally issued. From now on, he could sail the Fushan fleet warships in an upright manner. He hurriedly said: "Hurry up and put on the incense table."??We respectfully welcome the imperial edict.  " After saying that, he strode to listen to the outsiders in the hall first. Everyone in the hall was in a hurry. Feng's mother took Feng Juan'er and other female relatives back to the back hall, while several personal guards were busy setting up the incense table. !!
