Historically, Kong Youde's rebellious soldiers ravaged and destroyed the land of Shandong for nearly a year and a half, occupied Dengzhou for a long time, and continuously conquered the surrounding prefectures and counties in order to obtain supplies, which made the situation in Denglai completely erosive.

In order to quell the rebellion, the Ming court lost tens of thousands of soldiers, more than ten good generals, and was hired by Emperor Chongzhen as the deputy chief soldier of Xin Weinian, who was also killed by the rebels in the siege battle.

In the end, Kong Youde and other rebels were allowed to carry nearly 100 Dengzhou naval division warships, dozens of Hongyi cannons, countless firearms and ammunition, and dozens of Westerners who were good at making artillery to calmly go to sea and arrive at Dadonggou (now located in Dandong City) to surrender to Houjin!

After Kong Youde and other disasters, Denglai began to be sparsely populated, the land was barren, and Dongjiang Town, which had been relying on Denglai's supplies, also became crumbling.

The Dengzhou Navy Division was completely swept to Houjin by the rebels, and Denglai completely lost its power to contain Houjin from the sea!

However, how to organize a strategic offensive in Denglai and re-establish Denglai's sea fortress - the sailor division was ignored in the Ming court. It's not that there are no people with such strategic vision, but the Ming Dynasty is simply unable to rebuild a Dengzhou Navy Division again!

Why Huang Taiji dared to repeatedly detour through Shanhaiguan and enter the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty for conquest and plunder, to a large extent, is related to the lack of effective control of the sailors of Denglai Town and Dongjiang Town!

Speaking of this, he sighed for Yuan Chenghuan's move to kill Mao Wenlong! In order to establish his authority, Yuan Chonghuan directly killed a giant in the Ming Dynasty who could contain the Houjin, which was really self-destroying the Great Wall! Based on this alone, Yuan Chenghuan was killed by Chongzhen, and his death was not unjust at all!

Of course, with Feng Jian's current ability. It is not realistic for him to jump out and confront Kong Youde's rebels head-on, even if the Zhenshan Battalion has the ability to give the rebels a head-on blow at this stage. Feng Jian will not make a move.

"The gun shoots the first bird", "The rafters out of the ship rot first." "Feng Jian understands this truth better than anyone else!

The first task of the Earthquake Mountain Battalion is to keep the level at all times. Wait for Kong Youde's rebels to come and then give him a head-on blow.

Feng Jian's attention at this time was completely focused on the Dengzhou Water Division, after the rebels occupied Dengzhou, this powerful water division was directly occupied by the rebels, and finally followed the rebels to join the Houjin regime, which Feng Jian could not tolerate.

Feng Jian began to arrange it more than four months ago, and all the arrangements were for this Dengzhou sailor!

The situation of the officers and men of the Dengzhou Naval Division, the ammunition and weapons of the various ships, the situation of the guards of the Dengzhou Water City, and the living conditions of some Westerners have been thoroughly understood. And a response plan has been formulated.

After today's Huluyan meeting, all the 10 ships of the Pingdu Prefecture Flood Battalion will sail back to the Dengzhou Naval Division Battalion under the pretext of receiving supplies, and all the 2,510 officers and men of the Zhou Flood Battalion will set off with the boat, and all 480 birds and soldiers from Zhou Weiqian's headquarters of the Zhenshan Battalion will be mobilized to accompany the ship as escorts, and all the soldiers of the Shen Xiaoshan Enemy Hunting Division will be mobilized to accompany the ship.

Of course, the Zhou Xun camp had to wait until the Dengzhou rebels were welcomed into Dengzhou City by Geng Zhongming and other rebel generals, and when the whole city was in chaos, the officers and soldiers of the Navy Division hiding in the boat occupied and encircled the main ship of the Dengzhou Navy Division to open the gate of the Water City. Then lead the Dengzhou Navy Division fleet and leave!

On the twenty-sixth day of the fourth year of Chongzhen, Feng Jian said goodbye to his mother and the three wives who were about to give birth early in the morning.

Feng Jian told his mother that he would not be able to return before Chinese New Year's Eve, and Feng's mother was considerate of her son. just instructed Feng Jian to return as soon as possible after finishing his official duties, so as not to worry his family. Feng Jian naturally nodded in agreement.

After saying goodbye to his mother, Feng Jian turned to face Chen Lilan and the others. joked: "Don't be anxious about the three ladies, you will not be allowed to give birth until you return from a business trip for your husband!" Feng Jian said. provoked the three girls to roll their eyes and ignore him.

Feng Juan, who came to see off her younger brother, couldn't help but smile and said: "It doesn't matter if you say it, and it doesn't count if the three brothers and daughters-in-law say it!" How many adults. There's always no shape!

Feng Jian laughed and left the garrison mansion, surrounded by Cheng Yousheng and twenty personal guards, and rushed towards the state flood camp on the bank of the Jiaolai River.

After just over five months, the Jiaolai River has gradually evolved into a bustling and lively place with dense crowds.

With the increase of shipping ships to and from the Jiaolai River, more and more foreign merchants gather on the banks of the Jiaolai River, so there are more and more buying, drinking, and trading transactions, and the prosperity here is close to the cross street in Pingdu City.

Feng Jian and his entourage rode more than 20 horses to the state flood camp area, which was listed as a military camp area, so they entered the state flood camp courtyard without receiving any obstacles.

I saw that in the middle of the training ground stood the bird soldiers of the 3,000th headquarters of the Zhenshan Battalion, and the officer leading the team was Ma Shan, the first division commander of the 1,000 headquarters, nicknamed Hemp Tiger. Shen Xiaoshan and more than 80 people from the Enemy Hunting Division all rode horses and led the way in front of the bird soldiers. However, the 2,500 officers and men of the naval division battalion had not been trained in a queue, so they had already boarded the warship to carry out all kinds of preparations before setting sail.

The ordinary sailors had no way of knowing what was about to be done, but they felt a little unusual from the fact that there were suddenly more than 600 bird soldiers and nearly 100 cavalry men who went to Dengzhou on the same boat.

Feng Jian arrived, Shen Xiaoshan, Zhuang Yingchang, Zhang Wentai, Ma Shan and other major officers who were waiting at the gate of the state flood camp immediately stepped forward to salute, Feng Jian looked at several subordinates, and his face became serious and said, "Are you all ready?" ”

Regarding the adventure that Feng Jian was about to implement, Shen Xiaoshan, Ma Shan and other officers of the Zhenshan Battalion did not have the slightest doubt, as long as the decision made by the commander Feng Jian, no one in the Zhenshan Battalion would question it.

And Zhuang Yingchang, Zhang Wentai and other newly subdued people did not feel much threat when they heard that Kong Youde and other rebels were sacked and killed all the way to Dengzhou.

Hearing that the garrison said that the Dengzhou rebellion was very serious, it seemed that Kong Youde's rebellion would set off a bloody storm in the entire Denglai land, both of them were half-convinced, how could the garrison be so sure, could he be unpredictable!

Such rebellious soldiers are often published in the newspapers of the imperial court, especially in Shaanxi and Guizhou, and there are often rebellious soldiers and rebellions, and they have not seen much harm.

According to the plan proposed by the garrison, in order to prevent the Dengzhou Navy Division ships from falling into the hands of Kong Youde's rebels, it is necessary to seize the Dengzhou Navy Division ships docked in the Water City before the rebels enter Dengzhou City!

Zhuang Yingchang and Zhang Wentai also knew that this matter was very important, and the garrison lord trusted the two, so he directly proposed this plan to the two, and now the two of them could not be half-hearted when they took refuge in Feng Jian.

After careful consideration, the two agreed that once the rebels really attacked Dengzhou City, they would immediately cooperate with Feng Jian to seize the ships of the sailors.

Feng Jian can also understand the decision of the two. The two of them were different from the officers of the Zhenshan Battalion, they still had many concerns, and Feng Jian couldn't ask too much about them. Therefore, it was agreed with the two that they must be prepared in advance to accept the ships of the sailors, and once the news of the defeat of Dengzhou City came, they would immediately begin to accept the Dengzhou sailors.

Hearing Feng Zhen's question, Shen Xiaoshan and Ma Shan immediately paused, clenched their fists with their right hands and saluted Shen Xiaoshan and said, "The subordinates have already prepared, just wait for the commander to give the order!" ”

Zhuang Yingchang and Zhang Wentai had only heard of the warlike army under Feng Jian, but had not really seen it, and the officers and men of the naval division mainly received the combat and shooting training performed on the ship, so they did not attach importance to the combat methods such as queue formation. Feng Jian also knew that the fighting methods of the naval division were different from those on land, so he completely handed over the training of the officers and soldiers of the naval division to Zhuang Yingchang and Zhang Wentai.

When the 600-person bird soldier lineup stood in the training ground of the state flood camp, Zhuang Yingchang and Zhang Wentai suddenly felt shocked physically and mentally, this is the Huluyan earthquake mountain camp that broke 1,000 in the rumor, just looking at the strict queue of the soldiers, it makes people feel awe-inspired!

They heard Shen Xiaoshan say that this was just a bird soldier belonging to a thousand headquarters of the Zhenshan battalion, and they went to Dengzhou with the ship to minimize contact with the chaotic soldiers, so the bird gun soldiers played a much greater role than the sword and shield soldiers and pikemen.

Although the body and mind were shocked, they still thought that the fighting style on the water and land was different, and no matter how good the queue you practiced, you still couldn't show your combat effectiveness on the bumpy and undulating water.

Zhuang Yingchang and Zhang Wentai also bowed slightly and said, "Commander, all the officers and soldiers of the Naval Division of the Zhou Flood Battalion have boarded the ship and are ready to sail. ”

Feng Jian said: "Our ten boats are carrying more than 3,000 horses, which are somewhat crowded, tell the officers and soldiers on the ship to hold on, let's go around Jiaozhou Bay and reach Dengzhou Water City for one day, there is enough time!" ”

Feng Jian turned his head and instructed Shen Xiaoshan and Ma Shandao: "The soldiers of the Zhenshan Battalion rarely go to sea by boat, and during this time on the ship, we must be extra careful not to cause an accident to a soldier of the Zhenshan Battalion. The two quickly nodded in agreement.

Feng Jian nodded and said: "This operation is very important, although we have formulated a careful plan, but there must be a lot of variables, so after arriving in Dengzhou Water City, we must re-investigate and confirm all the moored Dafu ships, and this matter will be handed over to Zhuang and Zhang." ”

Seeing that the two of them nodded in agreement, Feng Jian pondered for a moment and waved his hand: "Order the Zhenshan Battalion to board the ship and set off!" ”

"Compliance"

The crowd replied in unison.

An hour later, the ten large ships of the state flood camp docked at the berth of the Jiaolai River channel slowly drove along the Jiaolai River channel in the direction of Jiaozhou Bay.

The first two are, of course, Daifuku boats, which have a draft of about two zhang deep, and the water level of the Jiaolai River is about three zhang deep, which can fully meet the navigation of Fukufu.

But the Jiaolai River is only a river after all, and if Feng Jian gets a large number of sailor warships this time, there must be enough places for the sailor to dock.

Feng Jian had already thought of this, and as early as three months ago, he bribed Li Kuiwei, the commander of Jimo Aoshanwei, with a lot of money to bribe Li Kuiwei, the commander of Aoshanwei, under the pretext that there was nowhere to dock the ships in Pingdu Prefecture, please build a dock for ships to stop ships on the coast of Aoshanwei, and after completion, it will be used as a military port wharf under his command, specializing in berthing military ships!

When the Ming Dynasty reached this period, the system of guards in various places had long been abolished, and Feng Jian relied on his strong strength to forcibly occupy a place to establish a dock on Jiaozhou Bay Beach, and the commander of Ao Shanwei could only stare dryly.

Now Feng Jian sent a large amount of money to request that a piece of coast be assigned as a wharf, and Li Kuiwei, the commander of Ao Shanwei, naturally agreed very happily, and immediately asked Feng Jian to arbitrarily choose a beach to build a wharf in the area under the jurisdiction of Ao Shanwei.
