Zhuang Yingchang said: "These former colleagues are not living well-off, and they will naturally not let go of such a good opportunity to make a fortune." ”

The corners of Feng Zhen's mouth turned up slightly, and he said, "With these three people joining, when the chaos comes, we can drive at least half of the ships." ”

Zhuang Yingchang couldn't help but said: "Commander, if you really want to capture Dengzhou City as you said, this water city will definitely not be spared, our Zhenshan battalion soldiers are well fed, why don't you assist the governor to defend the city, and then exterminate this group of rebels." ”

Feng Jian looked at Zhuang Yingchang, and his expression turned to say coldly: "This commander repeats, the Zhenshan Battalion has soldiers and generals and is well-equipped, but it must not appear under the nose of the imperial court for the time being. Our Zhenshan Battalion is an army without the establishment of the imperial court, as you said, the sudden appearance of the Dengzhou battlefield to quell the chaos, even if the rebellion is successful, but how much suspicion will it arouse from the government and the opposition, can you predict it? In the future, we will become the target of public criticism, and it will be impossible to develop secretly! ”

Feng Jian said and saw that Zhuang Yingchang's face was uneasy, so he changed his tone and said: "Therefore, before the rebels attack Pingdu, our Zhenshan Battalion can only actively prepare for the battle in Pingdu as a bystander. ”

"Yes, yes, the subordinates are talkative" Zhuang Yingchang was shocked by Feng Zhen's stern tone, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

Zhang Wentai said: "From the perspective of the commander's subordinates, in order to smoothly drive away the ships of the Navy Division, the first thing is, of course, to control all ships in a short period of time, and the other key is to control the water gate of the water city in hand. ”

Feng Jian turned to ask Cheng Yousheng on the side and said, "Cheng Zi, tell me about your personal guard battalion investigating the situation of the guards in the water city." ”

Cheng Yousheng pursed his lips and said contemptuously: "After noon, I took a few brothers to quietly touch the walled wall of Shuicheng, and there was no one on duty on the walled wall. It's just that at the place of the winch of the iron gate, there are two guards. This means that the water city is not defended, and our brothers in the guard battalion can easily control it at a critical time. ”

Feng Jian nodded and said to Zhuang Yingchang and Zhang Wentai: "It seems that the guards of this water city have gone for the New Year!" It's better. When we start it, we can do it a little less. ”

Cheng Yousheng said disdainfully: "With these old soldiers, even if there are more of our personal guard battalions, it can be easily solved." ”

Feng Jian knew that the twenty guards who were following him were elites selected from the three thousand people in the Zhenshan Battalion, and all of them were outstanding, so he didn't feel that Cheng Yousheng was talking big.

Feng Jian nodded in agreement with what Cheng Yousheng said, and then said: "I estimate that when Kong Youde's rebels attack Dengzhou, Dengzhou Haiphong Dao will inevitably order all the officers and soldiers of the Navy Division Battalion to be on guard, whether it is to assist in guarding the water city wall. Or go back to the warship and be on combat readiness, which will definitely affect our operations. ”

Zhuang Yingchang immediately picked up and said: "My subordinates have been thinking about it, it will take at least one or two hours for our Dengzhou Navy Division to leave the Navy Division camp for one or two hours in turn, and someone will definitely find an abnormality during this period." At that time, Lord Wang Hui of Haiphong Dao, who was stationed in Shuicheng, was probably going to send troops to intercept him desperately, and I don't know how the commander should deal with it at that time? ”

Feng Jian said with a smile: "This commander knows that the two of you are worried about how to seize control of the water division and how to leave safely. The two of you don't forget that our Zhenshan Battalion has 600 birds, and we still have all kinds of cannons on the ship, and the chaotic troops capture Dengzhou City, if Lord Wang Hui of Haiphong Dao will recognize the situation and let our sailor battalion retreat. Then why don't we give him a chance; If he really wants to send troops to intercept it, then this commander will not scruple too much, and the six hundred birds and soldiers of the Zhenshan Battalion are by no means decorations. ”

Zhang Wentai frowned and thought for a while and said, "Commander, my subordinates have thought of a way to speed up the departure of the ships of the Navy Division Battalion from Shuicheng. But there are some dangers! ”

Feng Jian was surprised: "Even if you say it, what danger will you be afraid of at this time!" ”

Zhang Wentai said: "Our original plan was to wait until the Dengzhou City Disaster began, and the officers and soldiers of the Zhou Flood Camp Water Division began to seize the warships. Now there are three more sailors to join, which can save us one-third of the officers and soldiers of the sailors. The subordinates believed that the remaining warships of the naval division at this time had a small number of officers and soldiers on duty. We can completely secretly deal with these officers and soldiers on duty, and then dispatch the officers and soldiers of the naval division to various warships in advance. Once Dengzhou City is occupied by the rebels, you can directly pull anchor and set sail, even if Dengzhou Haiphong Road knows, what can you endure me! ”

Several people in the cabin nodded one after another, and even Cheng Yousheng, who had always had prejudices against people who were not from Huluyan, also nodded and said: "This is a good idea, it can save a lot of time, I am afraid that what kind of coastal defense will make the officers and soldiers of the Navy Division go to the ship to be on guard, if this is the case, the officers and soldiers of the Navy Division will face danger." ”

Feng Jian also glanced at Zhang Wentai approvingly and said: "Wentai has a good idea, which can save a lot of time for ships to leave the port." ”

Feng Jian looked sideways at Zhuang Yingchang and said, "How does Yingchang feel!" ”

"My subordinates have stayed in the Navy Division for more than ten years, and they know the details of the Navy Division, and the officers and soldiers of the Dengzhou Navy Division Battalion are not vulnerable at all when they encounter such an elite army as the Zhenshan Battalion on land, but the officers and men of the Navy Division Battalion are fighting with people on the boat, and they are all good hands. In other words, if Lord Wang Hui of Haiphong Dao orders the officers and men of the Navy Division Battalion to return to their respective ships to be on guard, our officers and soldiers of the Navy Division who are ambushed in the cabin in advance will be discovered and cause a catastrophe. ”

Zhuang Yingchang took a breath and continued to himself: "Lord Wang Hui of Haiphong Dao rarely shows up in the Sailor Division, and he does not know the specific situation of the officers and soldiers of the Sailor Battalion, and he stays in the Yamen of Haiphong Dao in Shuicheng all day and can't see anyone, by the way, I heard that there are several Western monks in the Yamen of Haiphong Dao, and this Lord of Haiphong Dao recites scriptures with these Western monks all day long, such people generally value their lives very seriously, so their subordinates conclude that when Kong Youde's rebels capture Dengzhou City, this Haiphong Daoist will most likely order the officers and soldiers of Dengzhou Naval Division to cooperate in waterproofing the city. ”

Feng Jian said: "Yingchang's current situation is thoroughly analyzed, and he has a detailed understanding of Dengzhou Haiphong Dao Wang Hui, which just explains Wentai's plan. ”

Feng Jian smiled and nodded to Zhuang Yingchang and Zhang Wentai: "Wentai, how to deploy the officers and soldiers of the state flood battalion next, and how to make it not make people feel abnormal, is very important. This matter is entrusted to you by the commander, and you will be responsible for any problems. ”

Zhang Wentai immediately stood up and responded to the order, and saluted Feng Jian like a soldier of the Zhenshan Battalion, but it looked nondescript like that, causing several people in the cabin to look at each other and laugh.

Cheng Yousheng took the initiative to say: "Lao Zhang, when this mission is completed, you come to our guard battalion and see how the soldiers of our guard battalion salute." ”

Feng Jian smiled and said to Zhuang Yingchang: "Yingchang, you are responsible for contacting the three sailors and battalion commanders, these three people are very important, you have to coordinate the order of the ships with them to prevent chaos at that time."

Feng Jian paused for a moment and continued: "The most important point is to collect all the ammunition from the guns on their ship, if they do not agree to the previous agreement, it will be nullified. ”

Zhuang Yingchang nodded solemnly and said: "The three of them are not fools, they are not afraid of 10,000, they are afraid of what happens, this bit of a powerful relationship can definitely be seen, and their subordinates will contact the three of them later." ”

After a deep sigh, Zhuang Yingchang said again: "The commander analyzed that Kong Youde's rebellious troops would defeat Zhang Tao and Zhang Keda, and expected that the rebellious troops would capture Dengzhou City on the ninth day of the first month. ”

Feng Jian nodded and said: "It should be so, the original five hundred and ten officers and soldiers of the Zhou Xun Camp can't let you give them home for the New Year for the time being, you have to explain it clearly to them and tell them that as compensation, this officer will reward all the officers and soldiers of the Navy Division with four taels of silver each." ”

Then he smiled and said to Zhuang Yingchang and Zhang Wentai: "You are not allowed to deduct it, otherwise this commander will not be spared." ”

Zhang Wentai's face turned red, and he said with a stiff neck: "The commander also underestimates the two subordinates, if the soldiers' salaries are deducted, the two of us will not be squeezed out of the Pingdu Prefecture Flood Camp." ”

Zhuang Yingchang hurriedly said: "Don't blame the commander, Lao Zhang just can't control himself." As he spoke, he glanced at Zhang Wentai again and again.

Feng Jian laughed: "Wentai is a man who is above board, how can this commander blame, after the two of you arrived at the flood camp in our state, you worked hard and complained, so that the flood camp in our state developed and grew rapidly, and the commander of this command knows it." ”

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and handed each of them two silver tickets, and said, "Take it, this is a reward for the two of you!" ”

Zhuang Yingchang and Zhang Wentai just gave away three of the same silver tickets, which are silver tickets with a denomination of 1,000 taels, and the commander rewarded two at once, that is, each of them was rewarded with 2,000 taels of silver. The two of them don't eat or drink for ten years, and they can't earn such silver taels.

Zhuang Yingchang's voice trembled: "As the commander's subordinates, the two subordinates are originally responsible for the state flood camp, and they should not be so generously rewarded by the commander. ”

Zhang Wentai said: "The two of us have no merit, and the commander is so generously gifted, I will only be physically and mentally uneasy, please take back the silver ticket first, and wait for me and Lao Zhuang to sail the ships of the Navy Battalion away from the Navy Battalion safely this time, so as to avoid the Navy ships from falling into the hands of Kong Youde's rebels, and then accept the commander's reward!" ”

Feng Jian stuffed the silver ticket in his hand into the hands of the two of them, and said with a smile: "This commander rewards you two, not because you two have made much merit, what I value is your two people's hard work and dedication to the development and growth of our state's flood camp!" Take it, you both have a big family to support. ”

Feng Jian's words Zhuang Yingchang and Zhang Wentai were hot in their hearts, feeling that all the efforts of the two of them were not in vain, and the commander knew that both of them had a thought, and if they followed Feng Jian, they might not have a future!

……

Dengzhou City East and West Street near the west side of a "Tailai" inn, wearing the costume of the governor Yamen official costume hurriedly walked into the inn, quickly entered the left side of the inn, into the courtyard on the left side, into the courtyard house, this courtyard is the temporary station under the enemy hunting division.

Guo Tai is now the general of the Enemy Hunting Division, and in the Enemy Hunting Division, except for Shen Xiaoshan, he has the largest official position. Behind Guo Tai, the two soldiers of the Enemy Hunting Division looked around vigilantly, and when they saw that there was no suspicious person following, they gestured in a certain direction across the courtyard, and then turned around and disappeared.

Inside the hall, Shen Xiaoshan stood by the window lattice of the hall and looked outside, surrounded by several henchmen of the enemy hunting division, and there was only a charcoal fire in the house that made a beeping and burning sound.

Guo Tai pushed the door and walked into the hall, Shen Xiaoshan stared out of the window for a while, then turned to look at Guo Tai and said, "Tell me about the situation!" ”！！ (To be continued......)
