Chapter 207: The Belonging of the Water Master
Feng Jian waved to the cheering soldiers as he spoke, followed by Cheng Yousheng, Huang Jinjiang and other personal guards, although they did not squint, their faces naturally showed a look of self-satisfaction.
Zhuang Yingchang, Zhang Wentai, Niu Liang and other three generals of the Dengzhou Navy Division also walked down from several other warships, including Zhuang Yingchang and Zhang Wentai, they were all shocked by this new military port.
In their minds, it is dangerous for a warship to be docked in the sea, and even a little stronger wind and waves will overturn the warship.
Now Feng Jian has built the entire naval fleet on the unobstructed sea, and the wind and waves in the military port are obviously smaller than outside, what is the reason for this?
These sailors are always experienced people on the water, and when they look at the breakwater that goes deep into the sea, they will understand that the waves are so calm in the military port, most of them are working on this breakwater!
Niu Liang and the other three Dengzhou sailors secretly admired in their hearts, this military port planner and designer is really ingenious, this open warship stationing mode, even if it encounters harassment like Kong Youde's rebels, it will not be blocked in the sailor camp and cannot get out!
Moreover, when a major event occurs and needs to be assembled, the entire fleet of sailors moves even faster, and can directly sail in formation.
A slight comparison shows that the closed environment like Dengzhou Water City does prevent a large number of naval fleets from being stationed.
Zhuang Yingchang and Zhang Wentai knew that the entire planning and design of the Fushan Military Port was made by the commander alone.
Looking at the refreshing Fushan Military Port in front of them, the two of them deepened their admiration for Feng Jian! But he never guessed why the commander from a poor background was so omniscient and omnipotent?
On the thirteenth day of the first month of the fifth year of Chongzhen, in a special conference room in Fushan Military Port, Xu Yannian, Cheng Yousheng, Huang Fuchun, Jiao Keli, Zhuang Yingchang, and Zhang Wentai sat on both sides of a long table. Feng Jian sat at the top of the long table.
It can be seen from the smiles on the faces of everyone present that everyone in the conference room is in a good mood. Needless to say, all this is because the Dengzhou Navy Division warship successfully entered the Fushan Military Port.
Feng Jian glanced around at everyone. He said, "Mr. Jiao Qian, you come to announce to everyone the information sent back by the Dengzhou spies. ”
Jiao Keli hurriedly got up from his seat and bowed slightly to Feng Jian. Then he said: "I just received the information that Dengzhou City does not receive at night, and Kong Youde's rebels have completely controlled Dengzhou City and Dengzhou Water City. Geng Zhongming, a staff officer of the pacesetter battalion, and Chen Guangfu, a guerrilla officer, directly joined the rebels as internal commanders. In the city, including the governor Sun Yuanhua, the superintendent Wang Hui, the governor of Dengzhou Song Guanglan, the governor of Dengzhou Wu Weicheng, the same governor Jia Mingjie, the deputy chief soldier Zhang Tao and other Dengzhou civil and military officials were captured. Zhang Keda, the chief soldier of Denglai, the right governor of Nanjing, killed his concubine when the rebels entered the city, and hanged himself on the Taiping Tower......"
Feng Jian waved his hand to interrupt Jiao Keli and said: "Is there any information about Dengzhou Water City, such as whether the rebels have sent additional guards to Dengzhou Water City." ”
Jiao Keli hurriedly said: "I don't collect spies at night and mix in the chaotic army to take the opportunity to find out some information about Shuicheng, now Shuicheng is just an empty city, so Kong Youde's rebels don't pay attention to it, but only send a small number of soldiers to guard, and several Hongyi cannons at the head of Shuicheng City were demolished by the rebels. Transferred to Dengzhou City for interlocation. ”
Feng Jian's expression moved slightly, and said: "It stands to reason that Water City and the main city of Dengzhou complement each other and are horns of each other, such an important strategic location, Kong Youde and the others will not fail to see it, why would they take the initiative to give up?" ”
Cheng Yousheng was quick to speak, and said with a smile: "It may be that Kong Youde and other rebels are temporarily short of troops, and they have no time to take care of Shuicheng for a while." ”
Xu Yannian frowned and said: "Then why did Kong Youde's rebels dismantle the Hongyi cannon at the head of the city, and if they lost the Hongyi cannon, Shuicheng could only be passively defended." ”
Cheng Yousheng rolled his eyes and said, "It's just my guess." Why do you say that Kong Youde's rebellious troops gave up the defense of Shuicheng? ”
Xu Yannian knew that Cheng Yousheng was unforgiving, so he didn't blame him, and frowned and thought: "I can't guess what the intentions of Kong Youde's rebellious soldiers are. However, it is strategically calculated. The Dengzhou rebels who lost the naval division warship were like a man who had lost a leg and had become lame. Although Dengzhou City is easy to defend and difficult to attack. However, if the imperial court gathers a large army, the capture of Dengzhou City is just around the corner. If there is a naval warship. At the critical moment, Kong Youde's rebels could escape by boat. Now they can only defend Dengzhou City, maybe Kong Youde's rebellious soldiers feel that it is useful to concentrate all their troops in one place instead of dividing their troops to defend. ”
Feng Jian looked at Xu Yannian with appreciation, his analysis was appropriate, now Kong Youde's rebels have lost the Dengzhou Navy Division's warship, and they lack the possibility of escaping from the waterway, so I am afraid they will think of another way to retreat. Xu Yannian saw this very accurately, I am afraid that among the senior officers of the Zhenshan Battalion, only Xu Yannian and Zhao Shougang have this strategic vision!
Feng Jian said with a smile: "How to arrange Kong Youde's chaotic troops in Dengzhou City has little to do with us for the time being, General Jiao Qian ordered the spies in Dengzhou City to pay more attention to the situation in Shuicheng and report it at any time!" ”
Jiao Keli hurriedly bowed down again and agreed.
"Today's main discussion is about the Fushan Military Port and the naval warships."
Feng Jian coughed and continued: "Now that the facilities of the Fushan Military Port have been perfected, the naval warships are parked safely and efficiently, which I believe is obvious to all. ”
Feng Jian's eyes swept over Zhuang Yingchang and Zhang Wentai and said: "The food and welfare of the officers and soldiers of the Navy Division, the supplies and supplies of the warships, you don't need to worry, everything is borne by Huluyan, and the Navy Master only needs to concentrate on training." ”
"When I return to Pingdu in a few days, I will report to the imperial court that the Dengzhou Naval Division has been rescued from the hands of Kong Youde's rebels by my Pingdu Prefecture Flood Battalion, and the Imperial Court will naturally have a reward and reward, and of course it will send officials to re-receive this batch of naval warships." The corners of Feng Zhen's mouth turned up slightly, with a hint of sneer.
Seeing that everyone, including Zhuang Yingchang and Zhang Wentai, was full of indignation, why did the sailor warship that he rescued from Kong Youde's rebellious soldiers be controlled by those corrupt officials in the imperial court again.
Feng Jian continued: "Don't worry, at this time and that time, now that the lifeblood of the survival of the sailor is in our own hands, the imperial court is sending someone to receive it, will our sailor officers and soldiers obey?" I said it was delusional. The 100 warships of the sailor have already been used by me, how can they fall into the hands of others again. ”
Feng Jian paused slightly, and then said: "Of course, we are still the sailor fleet of the Ming Dynasty on the surface, and we must accept the control of the imperial court!" ”
Feng Jian's words are heart-wrenching, and if they are placed in the Hongwu or Yongle years, they will attract the disaster of raiding the family and exterminating the clan, but now they say it and everyone here takes it for granted.
When a soldier eats food, whoever can give food and supplies to the soldier will serve whoever the soldier serves! What's more, everyone here has tied their lives to the big ship of Huluyan, rather than returning the warship to the imperial court and letting those corrupt officials take advantage of it to make money, it is better to stay under the commander and truly play the role of this naval fleet!
Huang Fuchun said: "Why bother, the imperial court sent officials to kill him, and said to the outside world that he was attacked by bandits, and look at that heel who dares to come and harass him!" ”
Feng Jian glanced at him and said: "Now it's not the identity of the bandit before, we are the officers and soldiers of the Pingdu Prefecture Flood Camp at this time, and the officials who went to serve were killed here, how can we explain to the imperial court?" ”
Cheng Yousheng is now putting himself in the shoes of the Navy Fleet everywhere, he said: "I am afraid that the imperial court will make trouble, and ask the Navy Fleet to go to the designated place to station, what should I do?" ”
Zhuang Yingchang frowned and said: "The scale of the Denglai Naval Division is relatively large, and only the scale of the Dongjiang Town Naval Division within the radius of the sea can be compared with it, but the artillery on the ships of the Dongjiang Naval Division cannot be compared with the Denglai Naval Division, but it is impossible for the imperial court to hand over the two fleets to Dongjiang Town at the same time." ”
Zhang Wentai nodded on the side and said: "Dengzhou Water City was occupied by Kong Youde's rebels, and our Denglai Navy Division will not have a warship station, and now our Fushan Water City can be stationed with a Navy Division's warship, just to solve this problem, the commander can mention this matter in the transcript, and then try to open up the joint with the ministers of the DPRK and China, as long as there is money to open the way, even if someone doubts the sudden appearance of the Fushan Military Port, it will not set off storms!" ”
Zhuang Yingchang and Zhang Wentai are worthy of being people who have been in the water division for a long time, and they are clear about the Tao in it, and they can avoid many detours in all aspects of the water division.
Feng Jian really didn't think too much about the fact that the sailor would be coveted by the princes of the imperial court in the future, and just now he heard the narration of Zhuang Yingchang and Zhang Wentai, and felt that it was not easy to completely control this sailor fleet in his own hands.
In the eyes of the ministers of the imperial court, the former self was just an insignificant little guard, and there was no oil and water to fish.
Now he was in charge of a fleet of 100 large and small warships, and the imperial court allocated at least 200,000 taels of silver to the sailors every year.
This is a big bargain, and I would like to ask the ministers of the DPRK and the Central Committee who can watch this white money fall on the head of their own little garrison with no roots and no power.
Feng Jian shook his head unconsciously, this matter is very tricky, it is better to rush back to Pingdu and ask the old man Pingdu Zhizhou Chen for advice, how to report to the imperial court to listen to his advice.
"Regardless of anything else for the time being, now that the sailor is under my Huluyan, it will be reorganized, Zhuang Yingchang and Niu Liang are willing to continue to stay in the sailor camp?" Feng Jian turned his head and asked Zhuang Yingchang.
"The three of them are all smart people, and after the subordinates relayed the commander's intentions, the three naturally agreed to stay in the sailor camp and expressed their willingness to only obey the commander's orders."
Well, Cheng Yousheng, send someone to invite the three of them to come to the meeting! ”
"Yes!"
Soon, Niu Liang, Zhan Yuan, and Lan Zhengji followed Qin Mazi to the conference room with an excited face, and saw that the people in the conference room were all the backbone of Feng Jian's subordinates, obviously the meeting was more important.
After entering the conference room, the three of them tacitly knelt down and kowtowed to Feng Jian to show their intention to submit to Feng Jian.
Feng Jian didn't have a good impression of the three of them at first, and originally planned to use them to sail the sailor warship away from Dengzhou Water City, so he drove the three of them away from the sailor.! (To be continued......)
