Cheng Yousheng didn't realize the meaning of Feng Jian's words at all, he rubbed his nose and said: "Xu Yannian, Zhao Shougang, and Shen Xiaoshan are the pillars of the Zhenshan Battalion, and they don't need to think about it at all, Zhuang Yingchang and Zhang Wentai are familiar with the combat navigation of the sailors, but after all, the time to join in is too short, and I really didn't think of a suitable candidate for a while." ”

Seeing Feng Jian looking at him with playful eyes, he suddenly understood that the commander already had a suitable candidate in his heart, and he was just considering himself.

Feng Jian said with a smile: "You said a lot, but only one person was missing, this commander sees that this person is the appropriate battalion officer of the future Navy Division Battalion!" ”

Cheng Yousheng rubbed his nose and said, "Who did you miss?" ”

Feng Jian pointed at Cheng Yousheng and said, "Count others, but forget yourself!" ”

Cheng Yousheng turned his brain, and instead of being happy, he cried and said: "Commander, if the villain has done something wrong, you should beat and scold, just don't let the villain leave your side!" ”

Feng Jian was a little moved in his heart, "Cheng Zi, I don't want to drive you away, you have followed me for more than a year and have become my right-hand man, which is obvious to all." There are many things that others can't understand, but you can do it for me very well. Now that our Huluyan is developing rapidly, there is a lack of useful manpower in all aspects, and the sailor battalion is very important to our future development, so I need to send a confidant to serve as the battalion officer, and you are the most suitable person, which will also be of great help to your future development. ”

Feng Jian's words should be heartfelt, Cheng Yousheng can naturally distinguish it, and his heart is moved. The words were a little choked: "But...... The villain really wants to stay with you and serve you......"

Feng Jian interrupted him with a wave of his hand: "This is said here in advance, you can know it in your heart." The icebreaker operation is about to begin, let's get our hands on the warship first! ”

Suddenly, I saw Huang Jinjiang, a probe of the pro-guard battalion outside the cabin. Feng Jian asked, "Omi, what's the matter?" "Commander, the personal guard of the King of Haiphong Dao came to give an order, ordering all the officers and soldiers of the naval division to immediately go to the south gate of Shuicheng to be dispatched, if they disobey the order, they will be punished by the court afterwards."

Feng Jian pursed his lips and said contemptuously: "Listen to the order of this coastal defense dao, it is obviously a lack of confidence, whether he can save his life or not." There's an aftermath there! He instructed Huang Jinjiang: "Don't pay attention to him, see what he can do to me." ”

"Yes, the villain saw outside the cabin that most of the warships of the Navy Division Battalion were lit up, and the officers and soldiers on board disembarked one after another to gather."

Feng Jian waved his hand and said, "Let's take a look outside the cabin." He turned around and picked up the sword he had with him and walked out of the cabin. Cheng Yousheng and Huang Jinjiang hurriedly followed.

When I came to the deck of the warship, the shouting and killing in Dengzhou City in the south was more clearly audible, and I could faintly see bursts of fire on the east side of Dengzhou City.

The officers and men of the various warships of the Navy Division Battalion disembarked one after another, and in the light of the fire, many officers and men could be seen gathering under the warships without even wearing military uniforms.

The chaotic situation in Dengzhou City prompted the officials stationed in Shuicheng to take urgent action, and the Dengzhou Naval Master Tang Garrison was ordered by the King of Haiphong Dao. He kept urging the officers and men of the warships to speed up their actions and go to the south gate of the water city as soon as possible to strengthen the defense.

Tang Garrison stood on the shore and saw that although the ten warships of the Zhou Xun Camp were also brightly lit, the boats were quiet. The officers and men on the ships had no intention of participating in the defense of the city walls at all.

Tang Garrison looked at the chaotic officers and soldiers of the Naval Division on the shore, waved his hand impatiently and beckoned one of his guards, and ordered: "You go again to give the Pingdu Prefecture Flood Camp garrison an order." Asked why the officers and soldiers of the flood battalion in other prefectures did not get off the boat to assemble, did they want to disobey the order and disrespect? ”

This personal guard is naturally Tang Shoubei's confidant. He took a step forward and said, "Lord Garrison, the army is in chaos now. Dengzhou City was captured by Kong Youde's rebellious soldiers, at this time it was the time when the people were panicking, the Pingdu Prefecture Flood Camp was not under the jurisdiction of our water division, and he disobeyed the order not to defend the water city. ”

Tang Shoubei twisted his fat waist and looked at the Pingdu Prefecture Flood Camp warship for a while, and said a little unwillingly: "All the officers and soldiers of the Naval Division have gone to defend the city, but this Pingdu Prefecture Flood Camp is special!" Let's let these people get away with it for a few days, and then reason with these people when Kong Youde's rebellious troops are driven out of Dengzhou. ”

Feng Jian stood at the bow of the Fu boat, followed by Cheng Yousheng, Huang Jinjiang and several other guards, due to the different angles, standing on the boat can clearly see the actions of the people on the shore, Feng Jian and others will see the actions of the Tang garrison of the Dengzhou Battalion.

Cheng Yousheng pouted and said disdainfully, "What do we Pingdu Sailor have to do with him, even pointing fingers, when is it, this sailor's dog official is still playing prestige!" ”

Huang Jinjiang echoed Cheng Yousheng and said: "Yes, this dog official really wants to come to play tricks, and Lao Tzu killed him with a knife." ”

Feng Jian frowned and stared at the direction where Tang Guard and the guards left, and said, "It seems that this guard is in a hurry, and I don't know how Niu Liang and the three of them will send each other away." ”

Cheng Yousheng said: "I think these three people are all slippery people, as long as they give enough benefits to a greedy person like Tang Shoubei, it should not be difficult to achieve their goal." ”

Feng Jian stared at Tang Guard's figure and said, "I'm not worried about whether Niu Liang and the three of them can deal with this Tang Guard, but I feel that if this Tang Guard stays in Shuicheng and refuses to leave, it will have a great impact on our upcoming plans." ”

Shen Xiaoshan said: "What's this, if this Tang garrison really stays in the sailor camp, I will take my personal guards and kill this dog directly, anyway, no one can find out anything in the chaos!" ”

In the early morning of the tenth day of the first month of the fifth year of Chongzhen, the sky was almost bright, and the sound of guns and shouts from Dengzhou City shook for miles, and bursts of smoke rose from the city.

The officers and soldiers of the Dengzhou Naval Division finally rushed to the head of the water city to participate in the defense of the city wall under the strict supervision of the Tang garrison.

In a room in the city gate tower of the south gate of Shuicheng, Wang Hui of Dengzhou Haiphong Dao sat in the middle of the room with an anxious face and listened to the Shuicheng garrison tell about the city defense situation.

Wang Hui's actual official position is the Shandong Buzheng Secretary Denglai Supervisor Military Dao, is a civil official of the four products, Wang Zheng and Denglai Governor Sun Yuanhua are parishioners, the same proficient in Western learning and Western weapons, he and Sun Yuanhua specialize in the manufacture of firearms and cannons, he has a deep study of Western machinery manufacturing.

Sun Yuanhua was appointed governor of Denglai, and Wang Hui gave up the high-ranking officials given by the imperial court, and went to Dengzhou to work with him at the invitation of Sun Yuanhua, a parishioner.

Sun Yuanhua was naturally very happy to see this like-minded Catholic coming, and the two of them could discuss doctrines and experience in the manufacture of Western utensils together.

Therefore, the imperial court appointed Wang Hui as the supervisor of the Dengzhou Military Road to supervise the Dengzhou Naval Division, and the official office was located in the water city, because it was in charge of the food and salaries of the officers and soldiers of the Naval Division, the materials of the warships and the maritime defense of the Naval Division, so the officers and soldiers of the Naval Division usually called it the Haiphong Road.

This is definitely an official position with real power and oil and water, ordinary people can't ask for money, this Wang Hui is good, because he is addicted to Western studies all day long, he doesn't care about his own official position, and he hands over most of the things to his subordinates to do, and he rarely asks, so he will make the Dengzhou Sailor into a situation where he wants to eat and take cards.

At the beginning, Kong Youde's rebels besieged Dengzhou City, Wang Hui scoffed, he didn't believe that Kong Youde's thousands of rebels could capture Dengzhou City.

When he learned that Zhang Keda and Zhang Tao led their troops to be defeated by Kong Youde's rebellious soldiers outside the city, and that Zhang Tao's Liao soldiers defected to the rebellious army, he began to get nervous and directly ordered a part of the officers and soldiers of the water division to assist in defending the city wall of Shuicheng.

Tonight, I suddenly heard a burst of shouts and killings in Dengzhou City, and heard the report of his personal guards, Dengzhou City may have been occupied by Kong Youde and Li Jiucheng's rebels, and the first thing I thought of was to worry about the safety of his parishioner Governor Sun Yuanhua, Sun Yuanhua advocated to appease Kong Youde's rebels outside the city, who would have thought that the rebels would have the ability to directly capture Dengzhou City!

At the same time, he immediately ordered the Dengzhou Navy Division to garrison, and ordered all the officers and soldiers of the Navy Division to go to Shuicheng to assist in the defense.

The Dengzhou Water City garrison was born as a local, and spoke in the local dialect, Wang Hui and other outsiders had to listen carefully to understand the meaning of the language, so the Water City garrison tried to slow down the speed of speech: "My lord, the distance between the Zhenyang Gate of the Water City and the Zhenhai Gate of Dengzhou City is three or four miles, and there is a dense water river that runs through the city from Dengzhou City between the two cities. ”

"If Kong Youde's rebels want to attack Shuicheng, they must first pass through the connecting bridge between the two cities, and there are two Hongyi cannons fixed on the wall of Zhenyangmen in Shuicheng, and there are also Fulang machine cannons on the east and west city walls."

"There are special gunners of General Hongyi among the officers and soldiers of our water division, if Kong Youde's rebels attack Shuicheng from the direction of Zhenyangmen, the walls of Shuicheng will be bombarded directly in the direction of the connecting bridge, and it will be difficult for the rebels to get close to our Shuicheng."

Wang Hui said: "What does Fang Garrison mean that as long as there are Hongyi cannons, even if Kong Youde's rebels occupy Dengzhou City, they will not be able to capture Shuicheng?" ”

This Fang garrison said: "The humble position just means that when Kong Youde's rebellious troops did not use artillery, they could not capture Shuicheng. Don't forget, don't forget, there are also two Hongyi cannons on the wall of Zhenhaimen at the north gate of Dengzhou City, once someone in Kong Youde's chaotic army knows how to fire the general's cannon and directly bombards the general's cannon to the city wall of Shuicheng, the situation will become out of control! ”

Wang Hui was a little confused and asked, "Since our Hongyi General can curb the chaos and the inability to pass through the connecting bridge, then even if the opponent's Hongyi cannon bombards Shuicheng, it doesn't matter?" ”

Tang Shoubei, the sailor on the side, bowed to Wang Hui and said: "My lord, if we fire one ammunition from the Hongyi cannon, we will have one less, and if Kong Youde's rebellious soldiers capture Dengzhou City, they will master the arsenal, and the ammunition reserves of our Hongyi cannons are stored in the Dengzhou arsenal, so we can't launch them for a long time, but Kong Youde's rebellious soldiers can bombard the walls of Shuicheng to their heart's content." ”

Wang Hui's face suddenly turned ugly when he heard this, and he said hurriedly: "Then what should I do, could it be that so many people in our Water City can only stare dryly and let Kong Youde come in!" ”！ (To be continued......)
