    Chen Lilan blushed, rolled her eyes at Feng Jian, and said like a doctor: "I know how to talk crazy things to the three of you all day long, and I am not afraid of lowering my status." She laughed out loud as she spoke.  Come.  Su Su thought for a while and understood the meaning of Feng Jin's words. Her bright eyes turned to Feng Jin's charming smile, which contained thousands of tender feelings.  Only Xiaohan frowned and thought for a long time, unable to understand what Feng Jian meant. Although she felt that Feng Jian was joking, she couldn't help but ask: "Why do our sons and daughters not lack food if we drink more milk?" Chen Lilan  He held back his laughter and said, "Xiaohan, don't listen to his nonsense. Let's eat first, and I'll explain to you later." Feng Jian looked at Chen Lilan with a shy face, Su Su with a tender face, but Xiaohan with a  With a confused look, she felt that there was nothing more joyful than this in the boudoir, and couldn't help laughing and turned around and walked out of the dining room.   On June 8, the fifth year of Chongzhen, the weather was already very hot. This year, Pingdu and the surrounding areas were still dry and dry. The crops in large fields became sparse due to lack of rain watering. Judging from this situation, this year's crops have already failed.  foregone conclusion.  In the meeting hall of the Pingdu Prefecture Flood Camp Garrison, Jiao Keli was reporting to Feng Jian and the generals of the Zhenshan Camp present on the intelligence sent back from various places at night.  Two months ago, the Dengzhou rebels divided into two groups and began to plunder the surrounding counties of Dengzhou. Since peace had lasted for a long time, the various county government troops were depleted. They were unable to resist the wolf-like tigers of the Dengzhou rebels.  The wealthy counties around Dengzhou, such as Huangxian, Zhaoyuan, Qixia, Laiyang and other prefectures and counties, fell one after another.  Kong Youde led the elite rebels to burn and kill along the way, and they were almost invincible. The troops were directed towards Laizhou, another important city in Denglai Town.  In Kong Youde's opinion, Laizhou City will collapse at the first touch like other states and counties.  Even if the Laizhou prefect organized the soldiers and civilians in the city to resist, it would be difficult to withstand the fierce attack of his own 20,000 elite troops.  The city can only be destroyed in a matter of seconds.  He knew that Laizhou City was not as easy to conquer as he thought before the rebels arrived.  Zhu Wannian, the prefect of Laizhou, opened his treasury and distributed weapons and weapons to the people in the city, who took turns to come to the city to defend. The people in the city had long heard that the insurgents burned, killed, looted and looted inhumanely, so they all actively participated in the defense.  The city of Laizhou is tall and solid, with all kinds of defense facilities complete. In addition, the prefect Zhu Wannian personally took the risk of being hit by arrows and artillery and directed the defense against Kong Youde's rebel troops at the top of the city. As a result, Kong Youde besieged the city and attacked Laizhou for two months without success.  Laizhou City is crucial to whether Kong Youde's rebels can gain a foothold in Denglai Town.  As a result, Kong Youde's rebels surrounded Laizhou City and vowed to capture Laizhou City.  Another group of rebels led by father and son Li Jiucheng and Li Yingyuan looted the prefectures and counties without encountering much resistance. The rebels passed by and the captured prefectures and counties were looted. The city was destroyed into ruins, and a large amount of food supplies,  Gold, silver, and women were sent to Dengzhou City.  Li Jiucheng and his son originally wanted to continue attacking in the direction of Jimo, but they suddenly received an order from Kong Youde to lead his troops to participate in the siege of Laizhou City.  In desperation.  Li Jiucheng and his son had no choice but to give up burning, killing and looting, and led their troops to Laizhou to join forces with Kong Youde and jointly plot against Laizhou.  Because Li Jiucheng and his son kept sheltering the bandits along the way, they joined Kong Youde's army.  The father and son have more than 30,000 troops under their command, but their combat effectiveness varies greatly.  "The above is the situation where Kong Youde's rebels ravaged the surrounding counties!" Jiao Keli said to the main generals of the Zhenshan camp.  He continued: "We, the Zhenshan Battalion, are lurking in Laizhou at night but have not received the military information we just passed back. The number of rebel troops besieging Laizhou City now reaches 50,000. Kong Youde and others have tried various methods, but they still cannot attack Laizhou City.  There was no detection at night. Kong Youde's rebel army divided into two groups again, one group continued to besiege Laizhou City, and the other group attacked directly towards me, Pingdu. "The basic situation is like this, please command."  "Long instructions." Feng Jian looked around at the crowd and said: "The rebels came nearly two months earlier than I expected. The war has come. Now is the time for our Zhenshan camp to give the opponent a head-on blow. This time we will fight against Kong Youde's rebel army.  Combat is also a good opportunity for our Zhenshan Battalion to rise. Do you have the confidence to stop the invading rebels and annihilate them in one fell swoop? " "Yes!" The familiar faces here were filled with the desire to fight.  Determined and powerful.  Feng Jian nodded with satisfaction and said: "Jiao Ke immediately informed Lord Chen of Haiphong Road and Lord Zhizhou Fangzeng that the rebels were about to invade Pingdu. If you don't accept all information at night, you must report it to me as soon as possible." "Yes!"  Jiao Ke stood up and saluted Feng Jian.  "From now on, the entire Zhenshan Battalion will immediately enter a state of combat readiness. Zhao Shougang's 2000th Headquarters and Fan Li's Headquarters willThe teaching team immediately entered Pingdu City and deployed defenses according to the original plan.  " "Follow your orders!  "Zhao Shougang and Fan Lishua stood up and saluted before replying. "Kong Youde's rebel troops are attacking Pingdu. Xiaohuakou is likely to be directly attacked by the rebel army, and the 3000 headquarters will bear the brunt!  Xiaohuakou is the focus of our Zhenshan Camp's defense. Zhou Wei, you have a very heavy task. Your 3000 Headquarters must ensure that Xiaohuakou is safe. Can you do it?  " Zhou Wei's face was serious, and he stood up with a snap, touching the spurs on the soles of his feet. After saluting Feng Jian, he loudly said: "Xiao Huakou is in the hands of my subordinates and is impregnable. No one can take it away.  " Feng Jian nodded with satisfaction, turned to Xu Yannian, and told: "Xu Yannian's 1,000th Headquarters serves as the general reserve force for this battle and is stationed in Zhenshan Camp on standby. As the most elite military force in Zhenshan Camp, the 1,000th Headquarters  It is to carry out a fatal blow to the rebel army at the critical moment, and we must be fully prepared.  " Xu Yannian was not good at words. He touched Feng Jian's spurs and saluted, saying: "Yes!  " Feng Jian turned his eyes to Shen Xiaoshan and continued to give instructions: "The three hundred cavalrymen of Shen Xiaoshan's Enemy Hunting Division immediately took action to detect, track, and kill the army's detective horses to obtain effective information on the opponent.  When the two armies are fighting, it is very important to know yourself and the enemy. Now is the time for the Enemy Hunter Division to use its professional skills. I hope you will find out the basic situation of the rebel army as soon as possible.  " Shen Xiaoshan stood up and said loudly: "This is a good opportunity for our enemy hunting department to make contributions. My subordinates promise to detect the true identity of the rebels in a short time.  " Feng Jian has always had high hopes for the Enemy Hunting Division. All the soldiers of the Enemy Hunting Division are first-class in Zhenshan Camp from weapons and armor to food and salary, and the Enemy Hunting Division, under the leadership of Shen Xiaoshan, has also completed its missions time and time again.  This is the first time he has faced a large-scale rebellion. He hopes that Shen Xiaoshan will live up to his expectations and find out the enemy's reality in a timely and effective manner so that he can plan a response. Feng Jian turned his attention to Zhenshan Camp Supervisor and Zhenshan.  Zheng Qing, editor-in-chief of the Yingjun Daily, said: "Old Zheng, I don't need to say anything about educating the soldiers before the war and alleviating their tension and fear. I believe that your supervisors will do a good job.  This officer would like to remind you that you must learn to pass the Zhenshan Camp military report.  Promptly and effectively release news that is beneficial to our army on the battlefield, which will improve the morale of soldiers in a more timely and effective manner, and even have a huge impact on the entire war situation.  " Zheng Qing stood up quickly and promised loudly: "My subordinates must follow the commander's instructions and use military newspapers to launch various positive propaganda throughout the army to boost the morale of our army.  " The combat missions of the major units of Zhenshan Camp have long been established, and Feng Jian has officially issued them at this time. Watching the generals of Zhenshan Camp disperse, Feng Jian ordered Huang Jinjiang to prepare his horse. He was going to the Zhizhou official office. Asking for the Zhizhou housing  Zengwei quickly mobilized the minzhuang in the city to reorganize. The temporary reorganization of minzhuang was not to defend the city, but for logistical purposes, allowing these minzhuang to carry city defense supplies for the Zhenshan Camp garrison soldiers, transport injured soldiers to the medical team for treatment, etc.  . This will greatly reduce the worries of Zhenshan camp soldiers and focus on dealing with the influx of homeless people outside the city. They are all people whose homes were burned down by Kong Youde's rebels.  . Seeing more and more homeless people pouring into Pingdu City, Zhizhou Fang Zengwei was at a loss. The Pingdu government did not have the power to control the eating, drinking and drinking of these people, but it could not drive them away.  I found my old boss, Shandong Dusi Qianshi, Liaohai Haiphong Road, Chen Suowen, and found a way to solve it. Chen Suowen was promoted to Liaodong Haiphong Road. The official office should be located in Shuicheng, Dengzhou. He was temporarily unable to take up the post, so he found a place in Pingdu City.  The temporary Haiphong Provincial Government Office. Regarding the influx of refugees, Chen Sowen was worried that the people of Pingdu City would not be spared. It would not make much sense to temporarily place these homeless people in Pingdu City. Chen Sowen now completely admired it.  His son-in-law had accurately judged that Kong Youde's rebels would capture Dengzhou City, so he made arrangements in advance, and finally took advantage of the situation and safely transferred the Dengzhou Navy. This time, he dispatched soldiers to Pingdu City in advance and made various preparations.  This kind of war preparation is like a fisherman waiting for the big fish Kong Youde to take the bait. Chen Suowen knew that Feng Jian was rich, so in order to control the Dengzhou Navy, he took out one hundred thousand taels of silver notes and went to Beijing.  Bribing court officials, from this point of view alone, it would be necessary for Feng Jian to take the lead in solving the influx of refugees. So Chen Suowen and Fang Zengwei teamed up to find Feng Jian, and Fang Zengwei gave a brief explanation.  The constant influx of refugees will bring disaster to Pingdu City if not handled properly. Moreover, Pingdu City is also facing the invasion of Kong Youde's rebels. Feng Jian asked Feng Jian to find a way to help solve these people who flocked to the city.  In fact, the inspector had already found a good place for them. These people's homes were burned down by Kong Youde's rebels, and they lost all their sources of livelihood.   For them, as long as they have something to eat and a place to live, they are satisfied. Now Feng Jian has secretly controlled Lushun, and there are a lot of deserted fields around Lushun, which is just suitable for these homeless people to settle down.  Hearing Fang Zengwei's request for help, Feng Jian took the opportunity to express his plan. Feng Jian's move can solve the problem of the continuous influx of refugees and resolve various problems caused by too many refugees in Pingdu City. This will  It was a good thing that killed two birds with one stone. Fang Zengwei agreed immediately upon hearing it.  Feng Jian and Fang Zengwei immediately agreed that the Pingdu Government Office would organize the fushan fleet to transport these refugees to Lushun to settle down.  When the refugees heard that they were guaranteed by the government, they could be allocated fields when they went to Lushun, and most of the harvest from the fields would be theirs. Most refugees chose to believe it and were willing to go to Lushun to open up wasteland and farm.  With this, the refugee problem plaguing Pingdu City has been solved, and Fang Zengwei, the prefect, can finally let go of his nervousness these days.  !  !  (To be continued)
