Ding Yuting's words revealed deep concern, which moved Zhang Zongchuan greatly, he sighed, turned his eyes to the shore, and said: "Always let the brothers no longer give their lives in vain, I, the commander, it is nothing to lose." ”

At this time, on the shore, the Shandong Green Battalion soldiers who came to suppress it had already collected the bodies of the killed battalion soldiers under the leadership of Admiral Li Chenglin and left in embarrassment.

Looking at the withdrawal of the green battalion soldiers, a mocking sneer appeared on Deng Zhengqing's face.

Soon, Ding Yuting, Deng Zhengqing and Zhang Zongchuan got off the "Princess Heshuo" and entered the Dengzhou Navy Division Camp to appease the officers and soldiers of the Navy Division Battalion.

When Ding Yuting appeased the officers and soldiers of the Navy Battalion, Deng Zhengqing pretended to be an inspector and came to the barracks of the Navy Battalion.

Deng Zhengqing looked at these local water warriors with suspicious faces, and quietly took out a few pieces of paper with fine characters written on them, mimeographed patterns, numbers and seals from his arms, and handed them to them.

"These are silver tickets, three hundred taels each." Deng Zhengqing looked at a few Shui Yong and said coldly, "They are all Shanxi Qiaojia's 'Wei Changhou' ticket numbers, which can be exchanged for cash at any time." ”

Several Shui Yong were overjoyed when they heard this, and hurriedly stuffed the silver tickets into their arms.

"You have done a good job this time, these pieces of silver are your hard-earned money." Deng Zhengqing said in a small voice, "However, if anyone leaks the news......" He didn't say any more, but swept them with a stern gaze.

With Deng Zhengqing's gaze, the "sun" dog, which had been standing honestly beside Deng Zhengqing, also straightened up, his eyes were burning and shining, and he let out a whining roar, revealing Bai Sensen's teeth.

Several Shui Yong hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly, "Don't worry, my lord!" The little ones don't dare! Don't dare! ”

Deng Zhengqing nodded, got up and walked out of the barracks with the "sun". After several Shui Yong watched Deng Zhengqing's figure disappear, they got up, took out the silver ticket from their arms, looked at it carefully for a while, and looked at each other and smiled.

When Ding Zhihuang learned about what happened in the Rongden Water Division, it was already six days later.

"What? Did the Beiyang Navy go to quell the mutiny? Ding Zhihuang looked at Li Chenglin, who looked like he was gray-faced, and couldn't help but be furious, "They are overstepping their authority!" Unauthorized! ”

"Lord Futai, mark this place and let the gang of murderers of the sailor kill more than forty people, but they Beiyang turned a blind eye and didn't even say hello......" Hearing Ding Zhihuang's first reaction was not to blame himself for his ineffective work, Li Chenglin hurriedly said, "They are obviously mutinous against those gangs!" Besides, they came too coincidentally, right? ”

Listening to Li Chenglin's "reminder", Ding Zhihuang frowned, and his face changed a little.

"My lord, the Beiyang Naval Division will not come sooner or later, just in the past few days when the accident is about to happen, they will concentrate on the Weihai Bay exercise, and the previous training place for them is not Weihai Bay...... Li Chenglin said again, "This time, as soon as the Rongden Sailor Battalion mutinied, Ding Yuting came immediately, and the news spread too quickly, right?" ”

"That's true...... Ding Zhihuang's face became more and more ugly, "He, Li Zhangtong, is only afraid that he won't be able to get out of it!" It must be the mastermind behind him, Ding Yuting dares to be so bold! ……”

Hearing that Ding Zhihuang had already transferred his anger to Li Shaoquan and Ding Yuting, Li Chenglin was relieved in his heart, but Ding Zhihuang's words made his heart hang again.

"You're incompetent, too! Bringing so many people with them, not only did they not quell the mutiny, but they killed so many people! Ding Zhihuang looked at Li Chenglin and shouted angrily, "Didn't you think they would be like this?" Why don't you bring a few cannons with you? ”

Hearing Ding Zhihuang's question, Li Chenglin was startled, but he had already expected Ding Zhihuang to ask this question when he came, and he had already thought of the words for this part in advance, and quickly replied with a sad face: "My lord, this green camp is now short of clothes and salaries, you don't know it, there are less than ten mountain splitting cannons available in the camp, and there are not many mules and horses available, if you take the cannons away, it will definitely delay the trip, besides, you still owe three months of salary and silver have not been paid......"

Hearing Li Chenglin talk about the arrears, a trace of embarrassment appeared on Ding Zhihuang's face.

"This time, more than 40 people died, if this salary is not paid again, I am afraid that this green camp will be the same as the sailor battalion......" Li Chenglin mourned.

"In this way, let's send this pension money down first, this arrears, wait a little longer......" Ding Zhihuang got up a little annoyed, paced, "One or two for everyone...... No, two taels of silver! After a while, you can take my warrant and go to the treasury to withdraw the cash!" ”

Hearing Ding Zhihuang say the amount of the pension silver, Li Chenglin sighed in his heart, but on the surface, he had to pretend to be grateful: "Thank you for the adult Futai's shirt!" ……”

Two taels of silver for one life, the life of this Shandong green battalion soldier is really cheap!

And with a mere eighty taels of silver, he even asked the dignified commander of the green camp to go to the treasury to receive it, and it really made people laugh out of their big teeth when they said it!

Li Chenglin forcibly endured his stomach full of complaints, and bowed and retired. He has already decided, go to the treasury to get the silver now, otherwise if he is not careful, he is afraid that he will not be able to get his hands on these eighty taels!

After Li Chenglin retreated, Ding Zhihuang thought that this time not only failed to quell the mutiny of the Sailor Battalion, but also spent a sum of money in vain, although the amount was not much, it still made him feel painful.

The reason why Shandong's local finances are so embarrassed is not the fault of Ding Zhihuang alone, but it is also related to his own style.

When he was the governor of Shandong, Ding Zhihuang built water conservancy, killed bandits, rectified the rule of officials, set up foreign affairs, and sympathized with the people's hardship. The people of the time respected Ding Zhihuang's breeze and brightness, and praised his ethics as "pure". In the pen of some people, Ding Zhihuang is a "strict and powerful" and "awe-inspiring" person, which can be said to be a conceptual character of a clean and honest official.

As a defender of the old system, Ding Zhihuang has always advocated the principles of "clear and clear" and "good and evil". His understanding of officialdom is: "Today's officials are all complicated: those who are convenient are talented, those who are dependent on Ah are practiced, those who indulge are broad, and those who whitewash are shrewd." As a result, it has created a dismal social reality of "the clay kettle thunders, and the yellow bell is destroyed".
