Chapter 197: Fushan Military Port
It didn't take long for Feng Jian and the others to get the news that the officers and soldiers on the three warships had been transferred to the city wall to assist in the defense.
Zhuang Yingchang said with a smile: "There is a difference between having silver and not having silver, Niu Liang and the three of them are famous for being old, so they are always excluded, and now it is the turn of others to be excluded, and the three of them can finally raise their eyebrows and breathe a sigh!" ”
Cheng Yousheng joked: "Before you and Zhang Wentai met the commander, they weren't the same old picks, but now compared with these former colleagues, you finally feel the difference!" ”
Feng Jian scolded Cheng Yousheng and said: "Lao Zhuang and Lao Zhang are now the general managers of the flood camp in our state, so naturally they can't be compared with outsiders." ”
Cheng Yousheng grinned and laughed a few times, Zhuang Yingchang touched his chin and laughed a few times, not caring at all.
"Go on like this, when Kong Youde's rebellious troops really capture Dengzhou City, Lord Haiphong Dao Wang will definitely order all the officers and soldiers of the Navy Division to go to the city wall to assist in the defense!" Zhuang Yingchang said angrily.
He has now completely put himself on Feng Jian's side to see the problem, and the change in mentality determines the attitude of doing things.
Feng Jian nodded and said: "This is inevitable, Kong Youde's chaotic troops captured Dengzhou City, and it is strange that this Haiphong Dao Lord did not order the officers and soldiers of the Navy Division to assist in defending the city wall!" ”
Zhang Wentai said: "The commander proposed to buy the artillery ammunition on the general battle ship of Niu Liang and the other three at a price, and the three of them were very cooperative, and all the ammunition on the ship was transferred to the ten boats of our state flood camp, and only the gunpowder and lead of the birds, as well as the waist knife and iron fork and other hand-to-hand combat blades were left on the warship. ”
Zhuang Yingchang said: "Not only these, when the ice is broken, it will definitely attract a counterattack by the officers and soldiers of the naval division, and the three generals proposed to send the artillery crews on their warships to each warship of the naval division respectively, so that when the officers and soldiers of the naval division attack, they can assist the officers and soldiers of the Zhou Xun battalion to fire back in time." ”
Cheng Yousheng said: "It seems that this silver was not given away in vain. These three people are not bad, but their officers and soldiers may not be like them. Rules and regulations help us. ”
Zhuang Yingchang and Zhang Wentai glanced at each other and said with a smile: "Chengzi, you don't understand. Our naval division always has its own set of strategies to appease the officers and men under them, and since they dare to propose this strategy, they must be confident, and besides, the gunners they send are all disrupted and scattered to various warships, and there will be no unexpected consequences. ”
Feng Jian groaned: "You can let the three artillery crews of the general warship secretly dispatch to the artillery crew station of the state flood camp, and assign the manpower first, so that they can get acquainted with each other, so as not to be in a hurry when acting." ”
Zhuang Yingchang hurriedly bowed and said, "My subordinates will go and convey it." ”
Feng Jian instructed: "Now that there are many people in the Sailor Camp, you should be cautious in what you say and do. Don't have an accident. ”
Zhuang Yingchang bowed and left.
On the ninth day of the first month of the fifth year of Chongzhen, at the foot of Fushan Mountain close to the beach, the construction of the military port wharf under construction in Huluyan was officially completed, and a 100-zhang long breakwater extended from the shore to the sea water, blocking the invasion of the waves on the military port wharf.
At this time, the sea water was very clear, and when the wind and waves were calm, you could clearly see the fish, shrimp and crabs on the bottom of the sea when you stood on the breakwater.
There is a water city built on the shore, the walls of the water city are tall and majestic, and the whole water city is built according to the conditions of the beach. It is rectangular, long from east to west and wide from north to south, the circumference of the water city is three miles and ninety steps, and the city wall is three zhang high. It is one zhang thick, and the city wall is completely built of Fushan mountain stone, with three city gates in the east, west and north.
The water city faces the sea to the south. The south side of the water city is completely open, so there is no south gate in the water city. Ships enter the military port. Driving directly into the breakwater, there are numerous berths built along the Matou coast. The shore of the wharf is completely paved with Fushan mountain stones, which is very convenient for the transportation of goods.
Walking along the paved road of the mountain and stone to the water city, there are two main streets in the city, east and west and north and south, and only the row of buildings near the south street are built in the city, these buildings are mainly the barracks of the officers and soldiers of the water division.
At this time, this water city, which was named Fushan Military Port by Feng Jian, had been taken over by the logistics troops of the Zhenshan Battalion at this time.
There are currently 5,000 soldiers in the logistics unit of the Zhenshan Battalion, most of whom are young and strong people from various cottages who have failed to be selected for the Zhenshan Battalion.
According to Feng Jian's instructions, the main duties of the logistics unit in wartime are to maintain weapons and armor, transport grain and grass, feed and care for the regular troops of the Zhenshan Battalion, and other logistical support tasks, while in peacetime they are responsible for the construction of some important facilities of the Zhenshan Battalion and guard the important military facilities of the Zhenshan Battalion.
In the words of later generations, even the logistics troops still shoulder the duties of engineers, and half of the construction tasks of the Fushan Military Port are completed by the logistics troops.
This logistics unit also has food and salary benefits, which is only half of the soldiers of the Zhenshan Battalion, and the logistics troops can get a certain amount of food and salary rewards after the construction of various facilities, so the logistics troops are very active in building the Zhenshan Camp facilities.
The chief officer of this army is Huang Fuchun, who was appointed by Feng Jian as the battalion officer of the logistics unit because he was good at logistics support, and the logistics unit also set up a supervisor, recommended by Zheng Qing, the chief supervisor of the Zhenshan Battalion, and Feng Jian agreed that Hu Dake, the former commander of Daqingfeng, would serve as the supervisor of the logistics unit. In short, as the reserve army of the Zhenshan Battalion, all the military regulations and systems of the logistics unit are modeled after the regular army of the Zhenshan Battalion.
On the city walls of the eastern, western, and northern gates of the Fushan Military Port, there are logistical soldiers on duty, and there are no villages within ten miles of the east, west, and north gates, and there is only a simple dirt road on the road to and from the three gates.
The establishment of the Fushan Military Port has been approved and filed by Li Kuiwei, the commander of Aoshanwei, so it will not attract the attention of the government.
The 100 ships that were about to be evacuated from the Dengzhou Naval Division were about to be stationed at the Fushan Military Port, and in order to keep it as secret as possible, the Fushan Military Port would not accept outsiders to stay at this time.
On the day when the construction of the Fushan Military Port was completed, Huang Fuchun immediately ordered the 1,000 headquarters of the logistics unit of the Zhenshan Battalion to enter the garrison and block all those who tried to enter the Fushan Military Port.
The small merchants and ordinary people who were blocked gathered outside the Fushan Military Port could not be gathered, and many people began to set up stalls to trade with each other in exchange for their own gains, which was quite a bit of a long-term residence here.
The cold sea breeze blew on people's faces like knives, and at this time, several figures stood on the dock of the military port, overlooking the sea in the distance.
Huang Fuchun said to Xu Yannian beside him: "Mr. Xu Qian, the weather is so cold, if Dengzhou Water City freezes, how should all the ships leave." ”
Xu Yannian, Huang Fuchun, Jiao Keli and others are all core figures in the Zhenshan Battalion, and they know Feng Jian's plan to hijack the ship, but they don't know the current situation in Dengzhou Water City, so they are naturally worried about the commander and others.
Xu Yan, who was sturdy, let out a long sigh, and as he exhaled with a breath of hot air, he was also very anxious in his heart.
According to the intelligence, at this time, after the Dengzhou defenders were defeated and returned to the city, they began to confront the rebels, and the situation could change at any time.
In case the ships of Shuicheng are frozen, wouldn't even the ships of the Pingdu Prefecture Flood Camp itself be unable to sail away, what should the commander and the more than 3,000 soldiers under his command do?
Xu Yannian couldn't answer Huang Fuchun, and said to Jiao Keli, who was also looking at the sea beside him: "You don't accept it at night, but there has been news back." ”
Jiao Keli nodded, and said helplessly: "Dengzhou City's snowflakes have not stopped intermittently in recent days, and the outside of the city has been surrounded by Kong Youde's rebels, and the four gates of Dengzhou City are closed, and the situation of Shuicheng cannot be detected by spies at night, according to the experience of previous years, it is a foregone conclusion that Dengzhou Shuicheng will freeze." ”
Huang Fuchun was very anxious: "God really wants people's lives, and I don't know what the commander has to deal with." ”
Xu Yannian said with a serious face: "Our Zhenshan Battalion must be prepared, in case the commander is trapped in Dengzhou Water City, all the soldiers of our Zhenshan Battalion will immediately kill the commander to rescue Dengzhou Water City." Mr. Jiao Qian, if you don't collect at night, you must keep the carrier pigeon pass smoothly, and you can't make mistakes! ”
Jiao Keli said: "The contact with Dengzhou City has not been interrupted for a moment!" ”
Huang Fuchun's heart was relatively straight, and he said anxiously: "Since you know that the commander is trapped, you should immediately summon Zhao Shougang and Zhou Donkey to discuss the matter of sending troops from the Zhenshan Battalion to rescue the commander." ”
Jiao Keli touched his chin and beard and said: "If things can't be done, the commander will definitely not risk the safety of three thousand soldiers, I have a solution for the commander, we might as well wait patiently, take 10,000 steps back, even if the commander is really trapped in Dengzhou Water City, with three thousand soldiers under his command, plus nearly five thousand officers and soldiers of the Dengzhou Water Division, it is not a problem to hold the water city for four or five days, and these four or five days are enough for the Zhenshan Battalion to arrive and rescue the commander and the soldiers under his command." ”
Huang Fuchun was still a little anxious, "Then once the two sides fight, what if the officers and soldiers of the Navy Division in Dengzhou Shuicheng flee without a fight, or directly surrender to Kong Youde's rebels?" ”
Jiao Keli didn't want to say more casually, so he stroked his beard and smiled: "You still don't believe in the commander?" With him, Kong Youde's rebellious troops did not want to break through the water city in a short time. At present, the situation in Dengzhou City is delicate, and Dengzhou City will fall into the hands of the rebellious army at any time. ”
Xu Yannian thought back to Jiao Keli's words, and felt that every sentence was reasonable, he and Huang Fuchun were unfounded, what kind of person was the commander, how could he fight an uncertain battle!
Huang Fuchun sighed: "Among us people, there are many old people, according to what you say, it feels like that's really the case, let's do what the commander ordered before." ”
On the ninth day of the first month of the fifth year of Chongzhen, it was already the time to hold the lamp, and in the cabin of Feng Jian in Dengzhou Water City, seven or eight people made the cabin cramped and crowded.
Cheng Yousheng glanced at Niu Liang, Zhan Yuan, and Lan Zhengji, he had just returned from the north gate of Shuicheng, and his expression was quite excited: "Commander, the city wall of Shuimen and the winch of Shuimen are completely in the hands of the brothers of the guard battalion, I have ordered my brothers to smash the ice at the iron gate, and all warships can leave at any time." ”
Feng Jian pointed in the direction of Dengzhou City with his hand and said, "Now let's see when Kong Youde and Li Jiucheng will start to capture Dengzhou City, when the rebels will capture Dengzhou City, and when we will start to act." ”
