After appeasing Cao Shaozhong, Feng Jian turned to look at Shen Xiaoshan, his eyes were full of approval, and asked, "Xiaoshan, have you arranged for a sentry to go ahead?" ”

Shen Xiaoshan looked at Feng Jian, there was a hint of admiration in his eyes, although the commander did not speak of praise for the exploits of the enemy hunting division, but the praise and reward in his eyes said everything.

These generals, who started with the commander, can understand the meaning in Feng Jian's eyes, Huluyan is not only the foundation of the commander, but also the home that their followers fight for, and it is natural for Shen Xiaoshan and others to contribute to their own family!

Shen Xiaoshan bowed slightly, and said in an excited voice: "There has been a group of probe horses to report, Kong Youde's rebels were attacked by the ambush Xu Qian's headquarters on the way to escape, because it was dark, and the rebels had become frightened birds, Xu Qian's bird soldiers fired continuously, so that Kong Youde's rebels who had just gathered could not resist at all, and could only flee again. Also due to the darkness, Xu Qian's headquarters did not rush to pursue, but launched on the spot to capture the rebel foot soldiers, and Kong Youde, the leader of the traitors, led most of the rebel cavalry to escape from the Pingdu territory. ”

Feng Jian nodded and said: "The rebels did not flee into the surrounding villages to take the opportunity to blackmail the ordinary people, and the people within a radius of ten miles basically did not suffer from the plague of the rebels, which is a great blessing." Poor Kou Mo chases, Xu Yannian did a good job, Kong Youde and other rebels fled and had their own imperial soldiers and horses to clean up, and our army's soldiers and horses are only in charge of Pingdu for the time being. ”

Feng Jian paused for a moment and continued: "Now you immediately lead the Enemy Hunting Division to continue to investigate the whereabouts of Kong Youde's rebels, prevent the rebels from playing tricks again, and pass the order to Xu Yannian by the way." Let his subordinates come to this valley to meet. ”

Shen Xiaoshan touched the spurs with his feet and said loudly: "Obey!" Soon hunted the enemy, and more than 100 horsemen galloped north along the official road under the light of torches.

……

Cui Chengyong is the patriarch of the gentry family in Pingdu City, and because the Cui family is very close to Feng Zhenfeng, the general of the state flood camp. Therefore, it is particularly sought after by the gentry in Pingdu City.

Legend has it that the North Jiaolai River is also going to start dredging, and the head of the Cui family may be entrusted with an important task by Lord Feng Zhenfeng. This head of the Cui family has become a hot figure in Pingdu City.

With the opening of the Jiaolai River, the trade of water goods between Pingdu and other places has become more and more prosperous, and the Cui family began to cooperate with Feng Daren early because of the opportunity, and now they have monopolized most of the goods transportation trade in the South Jiaolai River, and they have made a lot of money in a year.

The money-making effect of the Jiaolai River will naturally attract the participation of the rest of the gentry and merchants in Pingdu City, and they are ready to get a piece of the pie through various channels, but the construction of various facilities in the South Jiaolai River from dredging to the wharf is funded by the state flood camp Feng Jian Feng, and now the Jiaolai River is also completely controlled by the state flood camp under Lord Feng, and it may be even more difficult to participate in a piece of the pie!

Fortunately, some time ago. Feng Jian Feng released his words, ready to dredge the North Jiaolai River that leads directly to Laizhou Bay, and the officials and gentry in Pingdu City who are willing to participate in the dredging of the North Jiaolai River can participate in the investment, the news came from the Cui family, and many officials and gentry who saw the business opportunities almost broke the threshold of the Cui family.

Cui Chengyong is now most proud of his efforts to make friends with Feng Jian more than a year ago, and now the investment has a huge return, and their Cui family has benefited from the thriving water trade of the Jiaolai River for more than a year, and the wealth has grown at an astonishing rate.

When the news came out that Kong Youde led the rebels to attack Pingdu. The people of the Cui family were as frightened as other gentry and merchants in Pingdu City, and they were deeply afraid that after the rebels captured the city, they would burn and loot the rich merchants in the city, and the rich merchants like them could not move at will, so they could only count on the officers and soldiers under Lord Feng Jian to defend the city against Kong Youde's rebels.

Almost all the people in Pingdu City had heard of the ferocity of Kong Youde's rebels. They just hoped that Feng Jian's officers and soldiers could hold Pingdu City, and Kong Youde's rebels could only wait for the imperial court to send a large army to quell the rebellion.

But who would have thought that after only two short encounters, Feng Jian's officers and soldiers would seize the moment and force Kong Youde's rebels to retreat. Later, Feng Jian led his officers and soldiers to pursue him, and heard that Kong Youde's 20,000 rebels had fled with less than 3,000 cavalry. The rest were annihilated by Lord Feng's men.

When the news came, the entire Pingdu City was boiling. The gentry and the common people took to the streets to set off firecrackers to celebrate, today is the day when Lord Feng and his subordinate soldiers escorted the rebel prisoners back to the city in triumph, and the officials and gentry in Pingdu City went out of the city to welcome the triumph of the Zhenshan camp.

Cui Chengyong and most of the gentry in Pingdu City naturally did not miss this good opportunity to see the majestic posture of the Zhenshan Camp, and some of the gentry held a fluke mentality, hoping to be lucky enough to talk to Lord Feng Jian, so that their families could get a piece of the pie when the North Jiaolai River was opened.

On June 13 of the fifth year of Chongzhen, early in the morning, the Chengen Gate of the north gate of Pingdu City has been opened, and a wind receiving pavilion was temporarily erected two miles outside Pingdu City, headed by Chen Suowen and Fang Zengwei, the officials and gentry of all sizes in Pingdu City arrived together, and the banquet has been set up in the reception hall, waiting to welcome the officers and soldiers of the Zhenshan Battalion who have returned triumphantly.

All the officials and gentry were full of joy and excitement on their faces, and they spat on each other and talked loudly about how the soldiers of the Zhenshan Battalion would meet the rebels of Kong Youde, as if they had been on the battlefield in person.

Fang Zengwei stood in front of many officials in Pingdu City, stretching his neck from time to time to look at the north of the official road, and the smile on his face never disappeared. Feng Jian and his officers and soldiers of the Zhenshan Battalion repelled Kong Youde's 20,000 rebels in a battle, and took advantage of the situation to go out of the city to pursue when the rebels retreated......

It is difficult for Fang Zengwei to imagine that Feng Jian's army will have such a strong combat power, he doesn't know what method Feng Jian used to train this army, but he doesn't want to find out the roots, his idea is that as long as Feng Jian's Zhenshan Battalion exists in Pingdu City, it can provide protection for Pingdu City, so why worry about it pointlessly, not to mention the existence of Feng Jian's Zhenshan Battalion, this is definitely a matter that has more advantages than disadvantages for himself, the Pingdu parent official.

Fang Zengwei looked sideways at his old boss Haiphong Dao Chen what he heard about Lord Chen, and saw that Chen Shuo was facing the direction of the official road and was not in a hurry on the surface.

Fang Zengwei knew that in fact, Chen was more excited than anyone else at the moment, and Feng Jian was Chen Sowen's son-in-law. Feng Jian led his troops to repel the rebels, leaving Pingdu City safe and sound. That alone is enough to make Chen proud.

It can be said that Feng Jian's achievements today are inseparable from Chen Suowen's support. Fang Zengwei believes that it is with Chen Sowen's full support. Feng Jian's army has the strength to repel the rebels today.

As the new governor of Pingdu City, he should fully support the army under Feng Jian, with the wealth of Pingdu City, he can still raise this army!

This time, Pingdu City relied on Feng Jian and his officers and soldiers to defeat the 20,000 Kong Youde rebels who came to attack, which can be regarded as creating a miracle of winning more with less, and reporting to the imperial court is definitely a great achievement.

He had already discussed with Chen Suowen that the first credit for the victory of Pingdu City should be attributed to Feng Jian and his subordinates Zhenshan Battalion, and today he is waiting for Feng Jian to lead the troops back. Ask him to ask the court for a reward according to the size of his personal military exploits on the battlefield.

Fang Zengwei knew very well in his heart that he was able to take over as Pingdu Zhizhou, and most of the credit should be attributed to Feng Jian, and it was precisely because of Feng Jian's step-by-step rise that he first dredged the Nanjiaolai River, so that Pingdu City became a distribution center for trade in goods, and then pacified the bandits in Daze Mountain, so that the people in Pingdu were not affected by bandits and bandits...... With these achievements, coupled with the operation of the old boss Chen. Only then can he take over as the governor of Pingdu City.

It can be said that his future and destiny have been tightly tied to Chen Suowen and Feng Jian, and everyone is prosperous and lossy.

……

It was almost noon, and a burst of dust suddenly rose on the official road in the distance. The officials and gentry of Pingdu City, who were waiting for some anxiety, became excited again, and they flocked to the official road to see the demeanor of this army that defeated 20,000 rebels for the first time, and the scene began to be chaotic for a while!

Chen turned his head and looked at the crowd majestically. shouted: "The soldiers of the Zhenshan Battalion ahead are triumphant, and we should all greet them in a proper manner." What kind of system have you pushed and shoved like this? Master Fang, additional officials were sent to maintain order on the spot. It is forbidden to re-appear crowded. ”

Fang Zengwei bowed slightly and said, "The lower official obeys the order!" ”

After hearing the order, Chen Sowen turned around to face the army rolling on the official road in the distance, just as Fang Zengwei expected, at this moment Chen Sowen was indeed a little excited in his heart, but at the same time he was a little worried.

The rebels are coming, although they know in advance that Feng Jian has a strong army, but after all, the number is small, and in the face of 20,000 rebel cavalry, whether Feng Jian's 3,000 officers and soldiers can hold Pingdu City is still beating a drum in his heart.

His own family, including his daughter's family, stayed in Pingdu City, and Chen Suowen was ready to live and die with Pingdu City.

Pingdu City has been peaceful for a long time, and the armament has long been slackened, and it is fortunate to have Feng Jian's support army, at this time, facing the attack of Kong Youde's rebels, Chen Sowen chose to fully support his son-in-law Feng Jian to resist the rebels.

Unexpectedly, after just two days, Feng Jian led his officers and soldiers to repel Kong Youde's rebels, and then led the army to pursue and defeat the 20,000 rebels led by Kong Youde.

Thinking about it now, it seems to be a dream, I really can't imagine that my son-in-law has such a powerful army, think about this slightly immature teenager a year and a half ago, talking in front of him, at that time I felt that he was not a thing in the pool, so I married my daughter Chen Lilan to him, and now I think about it, this step is really right!

It is believed that after this battle, Pingdu City was saved from the destruction of the rebels, and the people of Pingdu were also saved from the burning and looting of the rebels, which is the blessing of all the people of Pingdu, Feng Jian and the Zhenshan Camp will not only be supported by the people of Pingdu, but more importantly, it will get the attention of the emperor and the imperial court, although the Zhenshan Battalion has not been recognized by the imperial court, but this does not prevent it from squeezing into the ranks of the strong army of the Ming Dynasty.

What Chen was worried about was that he and his son-in-law Feng Jian now controlled a naval division with a very strong scale and combat power, and now Feng Jian had a more elite army under him, defeating the rebels by 20,000 with a mere 3,000, which was a bit appalling to say, which would definitely arouse the suspicion of some people in the imperial court, which was very unfavorable to himself and Feng Jian.

Although the rebels were defeated this time, Chen Suowen expected that various plans against Feng Jian's Zhenshan camp would follow one after another, and Feng Zhenshan's Zhenshan camp showed its strength, and the court would show its minions and use various means to plot to seize the Zhenshan camp.

Chen Suowen has seen this kind of case many times, and this is also the thing he is most worried about, after Feng Jian came back, Chen Suowen had to tell Feng Jian specifically to prepare him.!! (To be continued......)
