Zhuang Yingchang let Feng Jian to the back chair where he usually sat and rested on the ship, and then bowed down and said: "The garrison has rested a little, and the lowly duty has prepared the account books, and the materials on the ship can be checked against the physical objects later." ”

Feng Jian nodded and suddenly asked, "The artillery and ammunition on the ship are complete!" ”

Zhang Wentai bowed down and said: "Before coming to Pingdu, I specially found Lord Dengzhou Bingbeidao, and asked for the ship to be replenished with all kinds of supplies, and before leaving, all kinds of ammunition and materials were finally equipped according to the usual training equipment standards, and the garrison adults could check it later!" ”

Then he added: "The lowly two will not engage in fraud for personal gain, and do the thing of selling the ship's materials and betraying their conscience!" ”

Feng Jian glanced at Zhang Wentai, nodded and asked, "Are the rest of the ships of the Dengzhou Naval Division fully equipped with all kinds of ammunition!" ”

Although Zhuang Yingchang and Zhang Wentai didn't understand what Feng Jian meant when he asked about this, Zhang Wentai still replied honestly: "The arsenal ammunition and equipment are replenished every quarter, and if you need to replenish more, you need to pay the officials in charge with silver to be fully loaded with equipment." Every time the general of some lucky ships took the ship's supplies out of the ship, they would secretly sell the ship's firearms and ammunition in exchange for silver taels, so many ships of the Dengzhou Navy Division had no guns, ammunition and equipment. The two of them are not talking big, as the two of us maintain marine facilities, there are not many people in the middle of the Dengzhou Naval Division.

Zhuang Yingchang sighed on the side: "Hey, if there is any urgent war, these ships will be moving targets!" ”

Feng Jian was curious: "This ship is not your own, others have exchanged the materials on the ship for benefits, but why are you two different?" ”

Zhuang Yingchang sighed: "The materials on the ship are for preparing for combat against the enemy or for combat readiness training for the officers and men of the naval division. Our conscience does not allow us to exchange things that concern the lives of the officers and men on board for advantage. ”

Feng Jian showed a look of admiration on his face, but continued to ask: "In this way, the Dengzhou Navy Master usually patrols the sea, which is also perfunctory. ”

Zhang Wentai thought it was strange. This garrison lord is really a little different, how can he ask some things about the Dengzhou Sailor. Could it be that he has any intentions for the entire Dengzhou Water Division! I was shocked when I thought of this, and I was really cranky!

Zhang Wentai's speculation is really a bit in line with Feng Jian's thoughts, after the Dengzhou rebellion in history, Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming and other rebels finally coerced the Dengzhou Navy Division and many Western-made craftsmen who made Hongyi cannons to invest in Houjin, so that the Houjin artillery manufacturing capacity was greatly improved, and the Hongyi cannons created played a huge role in the future battles with the Ming army.

Feng Jian made up his mind to see if there was a way to let the Dengzhou Water Division leave Dengzhou Water City before Kong Youde and others rebelled, so as not to let this large-scale water division fall into the hands of the rebels. It's best to create an opportunity for yourself to master this huge sailor.

Zhuang Yingchang was also surprised by Feng Jian's repeated questioning of the Dengzhou Naval Division, but he still replied truthfully: "Since the naval battle between the Ming army and the Japanese in the 26th year of Wanli and the victory in the South China Sea in Busan, North Korea, more than 30 years have passed, and now there are few traces of Japanese thieves in the northern seas, so the officers and soldiers of our naval division have indeed begun to slacken. ”

Zhang Wentai interjected: "Since July, the northern Jiannu began to send troops to besiege Dalinghe City, thirty miles east of Jinzhou City, and now that reinforcements from all parts of the imperial court have arrived in Liaodong, our Dengzhou Navy Division has also been busy, transporting food and materials from Dengzhou to enter the Sancha River Estuary in Liaodong through Liaodong Bay. Transporting food and materials for the imperial court reinforcements stationed in the Great Right Guard. ”

Feng Jian knew that in history, in order to prevent the construction of Dalinghe City, the Later Jin regime became an insurmountable fortified city such as Ningyuan and Jinzhou. So Huang Taiji ordered the Manchurian Eight Banners army to besiege the city for half a year, and successively defeated the Ming reinforcements. In the end, Zu Dashou, the general of the Ming army defending the city, led the crowd out of the city and surrendered.

Feng Jian shook his head secretly, Zhuang Yingchang Daoming Army is now transporting supplies to the garrison of Dayou Tunwei through Liaodong Bay, which is a complete waste.

In the Battle of Changshan, Qiu Hejia of the Ming army, Wu Xiang, Song Wei, and Zhang Chun, the supervisor of the Ming Taihan Temple, who came to reinforce 40,000 officers and soldiers. was attacked by 30,000 soldiers supervised by Huang Taiji, the master of Houjin.

Huang Taiji divided the army into two wings, left and right, to attack Wu Xiang and Song Wei respectively, and ambushed the troops in advance and returned to the Ming army. As a result, 40,000 reinforcements were annihilated, and 33 Ming generals including Zhang Chun and Zhang Hongmo were captured.

The construction of the Daling River was a bad decision from the start. Qiu Hejia, the governor of Liaodong, disobeyed the order of the governor Sun Chengzong and privately ordered the construction of Dalinghe City.

After the siege of Dalinghe City, a group of ministers passed the buck to each other, and finally the commander of the reinforcements agreed by the imperial court was Qiu Hejia, the governor of Liaodong, who was not good at military affairs at all.

Although he knew that it was a futile waste for the Dengzhou Navy Master to deliver food and materials to Liaodong, Feng Jian was also helpless, he knew what would happen in the future, but the people of this era did not know!

General Feng Jian tried his best to dispel the distractions in his heart, and asked the two of them: "How many ships and how many officers and soldiers does the Dengzhou Navy Division have now?" ”

Zhang Wentai frowned and did not answer, Zhuang Yingchang patiently replied: "The Dengzhou Naval Division is divided into ten battalions, with more than 5,100 officers and soldiers of the Naval Division, and each battalion is equipped with ten large, medium and small warships. That is to say, the 10th Battalion Naval Division has a total of more than 100 large and small warships, including more than 20 No. 1 Dafu ships, and now the officers and soldiers of this battalion of the Naval Division have left, and the Dengzhou Naval Division still has the 9th Battalion Naval Division, more than 4,600 officers and soldiers! ”

Feng Jian asked: "The officers and soldiers of your first battalion of the Sailor Division came to the flood camp in our state, and two Dafu boats came, which means that there are still eight boats left in the Dengzhou Sailor. ”

Zhuang Yingchang nodded and said, "Yes, Lord Garrison!" ”

No wonder Sun Yuanhua generously said that in the future, empty ships would be allocated to enrich the Pingdu Prefecture flood camp, and it turned out that these ships should have been equipped with the state flood camp.

"What an old fox!" Feng Jian couldn't help but scolded secretly.

Feng Jian turned the topic to the Daifuku ship and said, "I heard that the governor specially summoned the Westerners to research and manufacture the Hongyi cannon, but I don't know if our Daifuku ship has been equipped. ”

Zhuang Yingchang said: "The lowly ranks are all small people, and I don't know the movements of the governor. But there are eight Hongyi cannon emplacements on our Daifuku ship, and two Hongyi cannons are installed. The guards will be able to check it out for themselves later. ”

Feng Jian came to his senses, and immediately got up and said, "Immediately lead this official to check." ”

The group came to the bow of the main deck again, only to see that the gun emplacements at the bow of the ship were covered by obstructions, and it was obvious that the Hongyi cannon was hidden under it.

Zhuang Yingchang instructed the officers and soldiers of the naval division on duty to lift the cover of the cannon body, and the Hongyi cannon finally revealed its true face, only to see that the swarthy cannon body was about one zhang long and about one and a half feet in diameter, and it was firmly erected at the bow of the Fuchuan at this time.

Feng Jian touched the cold cannon body with his hand, this is the Hongyi cannon that made the Later Jin Army famous, and this is the Hongyi cannon of the 300,000 Japanese elites who destroyed Toyotomi Hideyoshi in the Korean War in the 26th year of Wanli.

This Hongyi cannon is actually a front-loading smoothbore gun, but at this time it is the most advanced artillery in the world today.

Now that this cannon and this Great Fortune Ship belong to his command, Feng Jian suddenly felt a sense of pride in his heart, he is using his own efforts to change some things in this world that should not happen! I have gone from cautious step by step to the present, and finally has some capital that is strong with the outside world......

Zhuang Yingchang and the others saw that the garrison master was holding the cannon body for a long time and did not speak, thinking that the first time they saw the cannon, they were also shocked by the power of the Hongyi cannon...... So he smiled knowingly with Zhang Wentai.

Cheng Yousheng and the other Feng Jian's personal guards looked at the cannon in front of him in surprise, Cheng Yousheng thought that the tiger squat cannon of the Zhenshan Battalion was already powerful, and when he saw this Hongyi cannon that was more than a foot long, he couldn't believe that there was such a heavy artillery.

Cheng Yousheng smacked in his mouth, turned his head and asked Zhang Wentai, who was standing next to him: "Old Zhang, I'm afraid this Hongyi cannon won't weigh less than two thousand catties!" ”

Zhang Wentai looked at Cheng Yousheng and pouted and didn't make a sound, and Zhuang Yingchang on the side hurriedly said: "This Hongyi cannon weighs no less than two thousand five hundred catties, and it is most suitable for fixing it somewhere to attack the enemy." Wentai is straightforward, don't blame the brother. ”

Cheng Yousheng glared at Zhang Wentai and said, "What is there to blame, people are unwilling to deal with me, and the head of the guard will not stick to the cold ass." ”

Retracting his thoughts, Feng Jian turned around and asked Zhuang Yingchang again: "What General Zhuang said just now, there are eight gun emplacements on the Fu ship, why are there only two Hongyi cannons?" ”

Zhuang Yingchang said: "This humble position is not very clear, I think it is nothing more than the lack of financial investment in the imperial court!" ”

Feng Jian nodded and said, "The matter of the handover is over today, and this official has other arrangements here!" ”

Zhuang Yingchang and Zhang Wentai both "chuckled" in their hearts, and said in their hearts that this garrison lord was finally going to start getting into the right topic, and whether the two of them could continue to be in charge of the Dafu ship in the state flood camp in the future was between the words of this garrison lord.

Seeing the nervous looks on the faces of the two of them, Feng Jian smiled and said: "This official just heard that Zhuang said that the huge burden can be lifted after the handover is completed, which is not good!" The official also counted on the two of them to continue to take charge of the good fortune boat for our state flood camp and inspect the Jiaolai River basin for the official. ”

Zhuang Yingchang hesitated and asked, "What does Lord Garrison mean...... Do you want to continue to put us in charge of this great blessing ship? ”

Zhang Wentai also looked at Feng Jian with a look of disbelief.

Feng Jian said with a smile: "The two of them have an upright temperament, and they are willing to speak of conscience, and the official thinks that it is the most suitable to be the general manager of this lucky boat, don't use any doubts, this official believes that the two are the general manager of the lucky boat, then it must be." ”

Feng Jian's face suddenly turned serious and said: "But this official hopes that the two of you will understand that the first priority under this officer is to obey the military order, and the military order of this garrison must be unconditionally obeyed, and if you can do this, you can continue to be the head of the lucky ship!" If it is against the yang and the yin, then what awaits you is the military regulations of our state's flood camp. ”！！ (To be continued......)
