The current governor of Dengzhou, Yuan Weitai, is the nephew of Yuan Keli, the former governor of Denglai.

Since the new monarch succeeded to the throne and recovered Shandong, he served as the prefect of Dengzhou.

Dengzhou and Laizhou are adjacent to the sea, so Yuan Keli chose to build a sailor here. It's just that after Yuan Keli was impeached and resigned, no one could train the Denglai sailor well. In the last years of Chongzhen, the Denglai sailor was even more extinct.

Yuan Weitai is not only Yuan Keli's nephew, but also a believer in his sailor tactics.

In Yuan Weitai's view, if you want to cut off the trouble of Dongyu, you must rely on the water master. And Denglai is the most suitable place to establish a sailor.

At the moment, although the imperial court did not have enough ships to build sailors, it had to have this ambition.

I heard that His Majesty has rebuilt the Longjiang Shipyard, which is a good thing.

With the wealth of the south of the Yangtze River, it is no problem to concentrate silver taels for shipbuilding, and there is no problem in making up a sailor.

Of course, Yuan Weitai is not as good as Yuan Keli back then. He is just a small Dengzhou prefect, and he is soft-spoken, and it is impossible to directly give advice to the Son of Heaven, so he can only hope that the Son of Heaven can remember the good things of the Denglai Sailor back then.

On this day, Yuan Weitai handled official business until late at night, and was about to rest, when he heard the housekeeper's report: "Master, there is a person outside the palace who claims to be the Military Intelligence Department of the Inner Factory and asks to see him. You see..."

After hearing the words of the Military Intelligence Department of the Inner Factory, Yuan Weitai was completely sleepy, and hurriedly said: "Hurry up and invite people to the flower hall!" ”

His Majesty the Emperor reinstated the inner factory, and Yuan Weitai also heard about it. This time, the inner factory was not only rebuilt, but also set up a military intelligence department, which was specially aimed at the collection of military information outside Nanjing.

The fans of the Military Intelligence Department have come and gone without a trace, which is more erratic than the movements of Dongchang and Jinyiwei, and it is difficult for ordinary people to meet.

Now there is a person who claims to be the son of the military intelligence department of the inner factory and takes the initiative to ask to see him, it seems that there is something important.

Yuan Weitai knew that the fan of the Military Intelligence Department of the Inner Factory was directly responsible to the Son of Heaven. The recitals they wrote could be heard directly to the heavens. Yuan Weitai didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly rushed towards the flower hall after a little tidying up his robe.

Yuan Weitai entered the flower hall and saw a man who looked like a small school sitting on the official hat chair, and hurriedly arched his hand and said: "This official is Yuan Weitai, the prefect of Dengzhou, I don't know if the angel has something important to tell him?" ”

How to call the Fan Zi of the Military Intelligence Department is also a headache.

After thinking about it, Yuan Weitai felt that the fans of the Military Intelligence Department were all working for the Son of Heaven, and to some extent, they could also be called angels.

"Don't dare to be, a certain family is just a rough person, and today I disturbed Yuan Fuzun's rest, and I really have something important to say."

That fan hugged his fists at Yuan Weitai, and then said: "Please also ask Yuan Fuzun to retreat." ”

Yuan Weitai knew that the matter was very important, so he asked the maids who added water and poured tea to retreat, and then said in a harmonious voice: "Angel, please speak." ”

Na Fanzi cleared his throat and said: "A certain family came to tell Yuan Fuzun that Liu Liangzuo and Liu Zeqing have led the rebels to kill Dengzhou." ”

Yuan Weitai was shocked when he heard this: "Is this true? ”

Na Fanzi sneered and said, "It seems that Yuan Fuzun doesn't trust so-and-so." Anyway, this is a certain waist card, and I ask Yuan Fuzun to check it. ”

After that, he handed the other jade plate on his waist to Yuan Weitai.

Yuan Weitai's old face turned red, and he waved his hand again and again: "This official didn't mean that. ”

But he hesitated again and again, but still took the waist card and checked it.

The stakes are too high for him to be careless.

Although he had never seen the waist card of the military intelligence department of the inner factory with his own eyes, he had seen Jinyiwei's.

The two are similar, Yuan Weitai only glanced at it and decided that this person must be the son of the inner factory.

"This official has something unclear, and he still asks the angel for advice."

Now that there is no problem with the identity of the other party, Yuan Weitai will naturally confirm the authenticity of this information next.

Nafanzi nodded: "Yuan Fuzun, please speak." ”

Yuan Weitai cleared his throat and said, "Aren't Liu Liangzuo and Liu Zeqing besieging Jining Prefecture?" How could he suddenly kill Dengzhou. ”

"Yuan Fuzun's news is too closed, although the two thieves originally intended to attack Jining, but after being frustrated, they turned around and killed Dengzhou. A certain family found their traces in Hongluo Bay not far away, and it seems that they want to escape by floating into the sea. ”

Yuan Weitai was shocked when he heard this.

Floating out of the sea? Isn't this exactly the same as the number of roads Kong Youde had back then?

"If so, what should we do?"

Yuan Weitai was frightened.

Nowadays, Dengzhou is basically an empty city, and there are not many troops stationed at all.

Although Liu Liangzuo and Liu Zeqing's rebels suffered some losses, they also numbered tens of thousands. What did Yuan Weitai rely on to defend the city?

If he can't hold Dengzhou City, he will be the next Sun Yuanhua, and he can only wash his neck and wait for the Jinyi guard to come and arrest him, and escort him to Nanjing to be cut off by the head.

"Angel save me!"

In Yuan Weitai's view, the military intelligence department in front of him is a life-saving straw, and he who is about to drown naturally can't miss this opportunity.

"Yuan Fuzun is not panicking, the Erliu rebels are menacing, but they are not rushing to capture Dengzhou. This is very different from the Kong Youde Rebellion back then. ”

The words of the military intelligence department made Yuan Weitai's eyes light up.

Yes, from the very beginning, Liu Liangzuo and Liu Zeqing did not plan to come to Dengzhou. The reason why I was forced to choose this place is because Dengzhou is close to the sea and can escape by the sea.

From the perspective of Liu Zeqing and Liu Liangzuo, they must be panicking now, and the imperial court has sent Huang De's power department to pursue them. If they can't escape from the sea as soon as possible, they are likely to be killed by Huang Degong's troops and the Shence army before and after, and there is no place to bury.

In this case, Liu Liangzuo and Liu Zeqing will certainly not waste time attacking Dengzhou.

"What do angels mean?"

"What Yuan Fuzun has to do is just drag the two thieves. And the best way to hold back the two thieves is to burn all the fishing boats. ”

"This...."

Hearing this, Yuan Weitai couldn't help frowning.

"I'm afraid something is wrong."

The Denglai Sailor no longer exists, so naturally there is no need to worry about Er Liu seizing the warship. But the fishing boat is not something that Yuan Weitai can control.

First, these boats are owned by fishermen, and if Yuan Weitai sends someone to forcibly burn them, I am afraid that he will be scolded by someone poking his back in the back.

Second, if the only man sent to burn the ship, in case Liu Zeqing and Liu Liangzuo really made a desperate attempt to attack Dengzhou, then he could really only hang himself.

Seeing that Yuan Weitai was still hesitant, the military intelligence department said coldly: "Yuan Fuzun should not think that Dengzhou will not be guilty if he does not lose the imperial court. It is also a great crime to allow the rebels to flee to the sea. ”

Yuan Weitai's heart was half cold when he heard this.

Yes, Liu Liangzuo and Liu Zeqing disregarded the emperor's grace and openly launched a rebellion, which was to provoke the authority of the imperial court. Under such circumstances, the Son of Heaven naturally could not allow the rebels to escape. As the prefect of Dengzhou, if Yuan Weitai did nothing when he had a clear opportunity to stop the rebels from escaping, he would not be able to escape from a charge of dereliction of duty.
