    After appeasing Cao Shaozhong, Feng Jian turned around and looked at Shen Xiaoshan, his eyes full of approval, and asked: "Xiaoshan, have you arranged for a sentry to investigate ahead?" Shen Xiaoshan looked at Feng Jian with admiration in his eyes.  As expected, although the commander did not praise the enemy hunting division's military exploits, the praise and appreciation in his eyes said it all.  These generals who started their careers with the commander can understand the meaning in Feng Jian's eyes. Huluyan is not only the commander's foundation, but also the home for which their followers strive. Contributing to their own home is in Shen Xiaoshan.  It seems natural to others!  Shen Xiaoshan bowed slightly and said in an excited voice: "A group of scouts have reported back. Kong Youde's rebels were ambushed by General Xu Qian's headquarters on their way to escape. Due to the darkness and the fact that the rebels were already frightened, General Xu Qian's subordinates  The cannon soldiers fired continuously, so that the rebels that Kong Youde had just gathered could not resist at all, and had to flee again. Also because it was dark, Xu Qian's headquarters did not rush to pursue, but started to capture the rebel infantry on the spot.  Kong Youde, the rebel leader, led most of the rebel cavalry to escape from Pingdu territory. " Feng Jian nodded and said: "The rebels did not flee into the surrounding villages and take the opportunity to threaten ordinary people. The people within this ten-mile radius were basically not harmed by the rebels.  , This is a good thing. Don't chase the enemy. Xu Yannian did a good job. Kong Youde and other rebels can be dealt with by the imperial troops. Our troops will only deal with Pingdu for the time being." Feng Jian paused and continued: "Now you can do it right away.  He led the enemy hunting department to continue to explore the whereabouts of Kong Youde's rebels to prevent the rebels from playing tricks again. He also sent an order to Xu Yannian to come to the valley to meet up. " Shen Xiaoshan touched his spurs and said loudly: "Yes!"  More than a hundred enemy riders galloped north along the official road under the light of torches.  ¡­ Cui Chengyong is the leader of the gentry family in Pingdu City, and because the Cui family has a close relationship with Feng Jianfeng, the commander-in-chief of the state flood camp.  Therefore, it was especially sought after by the gentry in Pingdu City.  It is said that the Beijiao Lai River will also begin to be dredged, and the head of the Cui family may be entrusted with important tasks by Lord Feng Jianfeng.  The head of the Cui family has become a popular figure in Pingdu City.  With the opening of the Jiaolai River, the waterborne cargo trade between Pingdu and other places has become more and more prosperous. The Cui family started cooperating with Mr. Feng early because they saw the opportunity, and now monopolizes most of the cargo transportation trade on the southern Jiaolai River. After one year  Make a lot of money.  The money-making effect of the Jiaolai River will naturally attract other gentry and merchants in Pingdu City to rush to participate, and they are preparing to get a share of the pie through various channels. However, the construction of various facilities in the southern Jiaolai River, from dredging to docks, is all done by the state flood camp.  Mr. Feng Jianfeng invested the money, and now the Jiaolai River is completely controlled by the Xiazhou Flood Camp under Mr. Feng. It may be even more difficult to get a share of the pie!  Fortunately, it was some time ago.  Master Feng Jianfeng announced that he was preparing to dredge the Beijiao Lai River, which leads directly to Laizhou Bay. Officials and gentry in Pingdu City who are willing to participate in dredging the Beijiao Lai River can participate in the investment. The news came from the Cui family, and many people saw the business opportunities.  The officials and gentry almost broke through the threshold of the Cui family.  What Cui Chengyong is most proud of now is that he tried his best to make good friends with Feng Jian more than a year ago, and now the investment has paid off hugely. For more than a year, the Cui family has benefited from the prosperous water trade of the Jiao Lai River.  Wealth is growing at an astonishing rate.  When the news came out that Kong Youde led the rebels to attack Pingdu.  The people of the Cui family, like other gentry and merchants in Pingdu City, were terrified and restless. They were deeply afraid that after the rebels captured the city, they would burn, kill, and loot the wealthy merchants in the city. Rich merchants like them with big businesses could not move at will, so they had to  We can count on Lord Feng Jian's officers and soldiers to defend the city and fight against Kong Youde's rebels.  Nearly all the people in Pingdu City have heard about the ferocity of the Kong Youde rebels.  They just hope that Feng Jian's officers and soldiers can defend Pingdu City. Kong Youde's rebels can only wait for the imperial court to send a large army to quell the rebellion.  But who would have thought that after just two short battles, Feng Jian's officers and soldiers would seize the opportunity and force Kong Youde's rebels to retreat.  Feng Jian then led his officers and soldiers in pursuit. It was heard that of Kong Youde's 20,000 rebels, only less than 3,000 cavalry escaped.  The rest were annihilated by Master Feng's men.  When the news came, the whole Pingdu City was boiling.  The gentry and the common people took to the streets and set off firecrackers to celebrate. Today was the day when Master Feng and his soldiers escorted the rebel prisoners to return to the city in triumph. The prominent officials and gentry in Pingdu City came out of the city to welcome Zhenshan Camp in triumph.  Cui Chengyong and most of the gentry in Pingdu City will naturally not miss this good opportunity to see the majestic beauty of Zhenshan Camp. Some gentry are lucky and hope to be lucky enough to talk to Lord Feng Jian so that they can open up Shulibei.  During the Jiaolai River, my family could get a share of the pie.  On June 13, the fifth year of Chongzhen, the Chengen Gate at the north gate of Pingdu City was opened early in the morning, and a temporary wind-receiving pavilion was erected two miles outside Pingdu City.Led by Chen Suowen and Fang Zengwei, officials and gentry of all sizes in Pingdu City arrived. A banquet had been set up in the reception hall, waiting to welcome the officers and soldiers of the Zhenshan Battalion who returned in triumph.  The faces of all the officials and gentry were filled with joy and excitement, and they were spitting among themselves and talking loudly about how the soldiers of Zhenshan Battalion fought against Kong Youde's rebels, as if they had been on the battlefield in person.  Fang Zengwei stood in front of many officials in Pingdu City, stretching his neck to look north of the official road from time to time, the smile on his face never disappeared.  Feng Jian and his officers and soldiers from Zhenshan Camp repelled Kong Youde's 20,000 rebels in a battle. When the rebels retreated, they took advantage of the situation and went out of the city to pursue them. According to the intelligence sent back, Zhenshan Camp actually captured 7,000 rebels and captured  The rebels had countless military supplies and captured the main rebel general Chen Guangfu It was hard for Fang Zengwei to imagine that Feng Jian's army would have such strong combat power. He didn't know what method Feng Jian used to train this army, but he didn't want to  To get to the bottom of things, his idea was that as long as Feng Jian's Zhenshan Camp existed in Pingdu City and could provide protection for Pingdu City, why bother needlessly? What's more, the existence of Feng Jian's Zhenshan Camp was very important to him as a Pingdu city.  From a parent's perspective, the pros definitely outweigh the cons.  Fang Zengwei looked sideways at his old boss, Mr. Chen Suowen of Haiphong Road, and saw that Chen Suowen was facing the direction of the official road and looked calm on the surface.  Fang Zengwei knew that Chen Suowen was actually more excited than anyone else at the moment. Feng Jian was Chen Suowen's son-in-law.  Feng Jian led his troops to repel the rebels, leaving Pingdu City safe and sound.  This alone is enough to make Chen Wen proud.  It can be said that Feng Jian¡¯s achievements today are inseparable from Chen Suwen¡¯s full support.  Fang Zengwei believes that it is precisely because of Chen Suwen's full support.  Only then did Feng Jian's army have the strength to repel the rebels today.  As the new governor of Pingdu City, I should fully support Feng Jian¡¯s army. With the wealth of Pingdu City, I can still afford this army!  This time Pingdu City relied on Feng Jian and his officers and soldiers to defeat the 20,000 invading Kong Youde rebels. It can be regarded as a miracle of defeating more with less. Reporting to the court is definitely a great achievement. As the parent officer of Pingdu City, he led the army at the critical moment.  The people of the whole city rose up to resist the rebels, and of course they could not take away their own credit.  He has already discussed with Chen Suowen that the first credit for the victory in Pingdu City should be attributed to Feng Jian and his Zhenshan Battalion. Today, he is waiting for Feng Jian to return with his troops.  Ask him to request a reward from the imperial court based on his personal military exploits on the battlefield.  Fang Zengwei knew very well that most of the credit for his ability to take over the post of governor of Pingdu should be attributed to Feng Jian. It was precisely because of Feng Jian's step-by-step rise that he first dredged the Nanjiao Lai River and turned Pingdu City into a distribution center for goods trade.  , and then put down the banditry in Daze Mountain, so that the people in Pingdu area will no longer be harmed by bandits and bandits With these achievements, coupled with the operation of the old boss Chen Suowen.  Only then can he take over as the magistrate of Pingdu City.  It can be said that my future and destiny have been tightly tied to Chen Suwen and Feng Jian. Everyone will be prosperous and suffer losses.   Nearly at noon, there was a burst of dust on the official road in the distance.  The officials and gentry of Pingdu City who were waiting anxiously became excited again and rushed to the official road to see for the first time the elegance of this army that defeated 20,000 rebels. The scene suddenly became chaotic!  Chen Suowen turned around and looked at the crowded crowd majestically.  He shouted: "The soldiers of the Zhenshan Camp in front of us have made a triumphant return. We should all greet them in a polite manner. What's the etiquette of everyone pushing and shoving like this? Mr. Fang, please send additional officers to maintain order on the scene. No more crowding is allowed." Fang Zengwei bowed slightly.  Shen said: "Your Majesty, please obey!" After Chen Suowen's instructions, he turned around to face the army rolling in from the official road in the distance. As Fang Zengwei expected, Chen Suowen was indeed a little excited at this moment, but at the same time he was also  Some concerns.  When the rebels arrived, although they knew in advance that Feng Jian had a capable army, the number was small after all. Facing 20,000 rebel infantry and cavalry, Feng Jian was still worried whether his 3,000 officers and soldiers could hold Pingdu City.  His family, including his daughter, all stayed in Pingdu City. Chen Suowen was ready to live or die with Pingdu City.  Pingdu City has been at peace for a long time and its armaments have long been depleted. It is lucky to have Feng Jian as a support force. At this time, facing the attack of Kong Youde's rebels, Chen Sowen chose to fully support his son-in-law Feng Jian to resist the rebels.  Unexpectedly, in just two days, Feng Jian led his officers and soldiers to repel Kong Youde's rebels, and then led his army to pursue and defeat the 20,000 rebels led by Kong Youde.  Thinking about it now, it seems like a dream. I really can¡¯t imagine that my son-in-law has such a powerful army. Think about this slightly immature boy talking in front of me a year and a half ago. At that time, I  I felt that he was not a thing in the pool, so I married my daughter Chen Lilan to him. Now that I think about it, I really made the right move!  Believe??In this battle, Pingdu City was saved from destruction by the rebels, and the people of Pingdu were also saved from burning, killing, and looting by the rebels. This was a blessing to all the people of Pingdu. Feng Jian and Zhenshan Camp would not only be attacked by the people of Pingdu.  Support, and more importantly, the attention of the emperor and the court. Although Zhenshanying was not recognized by the court, this did not prevent it from joining the ranks of the powerful armies of the Ming Dynasty.  What Chen Wenwen was worried about was that he and his son-in-law Feng Jian now controlled a navy that was very powerful in size and combat power. Now Feng Jian's men had broken out an even more elite force, numbering only three thousand.  Defeating 20,000 rebels is a bit shocking to say the least. This will definitely arouse the suspicion of some people in the court, which is very detrimental to himself and Feng Jian.  Although the rebels were defeated this time, Chen Suowen expected that various plots against Feng Jian's Zhenshan Camp would follow. Once Feng Jian's Zhenshan Camp showed its strength, the court would reveal its minions and use various means to conspire.  Shake the mountain camp.  Chen Suowen has seen this kind of case many times, and this is what worries him the most. After Feng Jian comes back, Chen Suowen will specifically tell Feng Jian to be prepared.  !  !  (To be continued)
