After the end of the Battle of Taiwan, Peng Chuhan, who was the admiral of the Xiamen Navy Division, wrote to the imperial court, bitterly expressing the shortcomings of the old naval divisions and the bloody lessons of the Xiamen naval battle, saying that the existing wooden sailing ships of the naval division were "brittle and thin, with very few guns, and the speed of movement was slow, and they were close to the enemy, and they could not be defeated by one enemy at ten times", "every time the enemy ship fired a cannon, our ship would be destroyed", and "with this kind of wooden ships competing with the enemy's iron ships at sea, the enemy would be slaughtered, and his life would be of no use." It was strongly recommended that the imperial court "eliminate the old and re-control the sailors" and eliminate all the old wooden sailing ships of the national sailors. Changed to a new type of steam warship. Peng Chuhan's excerpt can be said to be written in a way that weeps blood word by word, and the government and the opposition are shaken. Although Ding Zhihuang and many gossip officials wrote to accuse Peng Chuhan of "clever words and disguise wrongs" and "boasting about defeat", Peng Chuhan's suggestion was still adopted by the imperial court. Later, the imperial court issued an edict to "determine the country", stipulating that the sailors would no longer build wooden sailing ships and gradually replace them with new steam warships, which can be said to be greatly influenced by Peng Chuhan's excerpts.

And now, the Rongcheng Water Division Battalion and the Dengzhou Water Division Battalion actually knew the content of this excerpt, and mutinied because of it, how could he not be surprised!

So, who used the content of Peng Chuhan's excerpt to instigate the officers and soldiers of the Rongdeng Naval Division?

Thinking about it, Ding Zhihuang's heart suddenly chuckled, and a spark flashed in his mind!

The Beiyang Naval Division, controlled by Li Shaoquan, is now training in Weihai Bay!

Due to the shortage of sailors in the Beiyang Naval Division, Li Shaoquan recruited many sailors in Rongcheng and Dengzhou in Shandong to enrich the Beiyang Naval Division.

Could it be that Li Shaoquan sent someone to deliver the news to the Rongcheng Water Division and the Dengzhou Water Division?

Thinking of Li Shaoquan's original proposal to merge the Rongdeng Naval Division and the Beiyang Naval Division, as well as the close relationship between Li Shaoquan and Lin Yizhe, Ding Zhihuang couldn't help but sneer.

"Li Zhangtong, Li Zhangtong! If you really did it, then you would be too inauthentic! ”

"You want to engulf the Ascending Water Master, this wishful thinking is too loud! I just won't let you get your wish! ”

After Ding Zhihuang finished thinking about it, he took the pen and paper at the moment, and drafted a warrant to the commander of Shandong Luying to immediately suppress the mutiny of the Rongdeng Water Division.

Dengzhou, the camp of the water division.

Not far from the shore, several boats that had been towed ashore had turned into piles of rotten charcoal, and black smoke was still emitting.

In front of the camp, sandbags were piled up everywhere, and behind the sandbags were groups of officers and soldiers of the Rongdeng Marine Division, holding slender breech shotguns, staring ahead.

On a field in the camp, there were more than two dozen corpses covered with white cloths neatly stacked, and these dead people obviously belonged to the sailor battalion.

In front of the sandbags, there were about forty or fifty corpses, lying down or lying down, many of them were mutilated, obviously cut by knives and axes, and many of the corpses were intact, but there were many blood holes on their bodies, which were obviously shot to death.

About 300 meters opposite these corpses were the officers and men of the Green Battalion of the brigade, although they were holding knives and guns in their hands, and they looked menacing, but everyone's faces could not help but be panicked and tired.

"Commander Zhang! Your sailor battalion is a rebellion! I advise you not to be obsessed! Otherwise, be careful that there is no place to die! ”

Li Chenglin, the commander of the Green Battalion, looked at the officers and soldiers of the Navy Division Battalion who were waiting on the opposite side, and then looked at the burned boats that were still smoking smoke, sighed, and shouted loudly.

"The surname is Li! You fucking young man and Lao Tzu come to this set! Lao Tzu and his brothers are out of the way! Left and right are also dead, and if you don't die here, you will also die at sea! It doesn't matter anymore! A hoarse voice came from the opposite side, Li Chenglin could hear it clearly, and it was Zhang Zongchuan, the commander of the Dengzhou Navy Battalion, who spoke.

"If you have anything to say, you can explain it to Lord Futaiding! Lord Ding will definitely make decisions for you! It is a capital sin for you to make such a disturbance, and to burn all the ships, and not to be persuaded to surrender. Li Chenglin shouted, "Listen to me, quickly put down your weapons, and capture them, maybe there is still a way to live!" ”

"Fuck off, you bastard! Will Ding Futai make decisions for us? Who doesn't know that his mother's boats are made by his surname Ding? The imperial court has already issued an edict to abolish these broken wooden ships and ration them to new steamers, why did Ding Futai openly resist and disobey the order, and still stuff us with these broken things? Didn't he know that these broken ships could kill people? Didn't the Xiamen Sailors and the Penghu Sailors just go to sea on these broken boats, and as a result, they were all wiped out? His surname Ding wants to save money for the court, and I can't care about my brother, but he wants us to give our lives in vain, don't think about it! ”

After listening to Zhang Zongchuan's words, the officers and men of the Navy Division Battalion immediately became loud and loud.

"That's right! Let's not give our lives in vain! ”

"We want a steamer!"

"This broken wooden ship can't be caught up by pirates, and the last time I went to sea, I burned four of them for pirates! Ding Futai didn't know, why did he give us these things? Could it be that he is blind? ”

"The money is not paid, and we are given back the broken wooden boat, so that we will give our lives in vain, and the heart surnamed Ding will be eaten by the dog!"

"Ding Futai just treats us as dogs! We're here to mix rations! He wants us to die for nothing! Can't do it! ”

Listening to the shouting and scolding of the officers and soldiers of the Navy Division Battalion opposite, Li Chenglin's face turned red and white, but he couldn't find a rebuttal.

"The surname is Li! It's not hard for you! You go back and tell Ding Futai! When we will replace all the ships with steamers, and make up the arrears for us, we will continue to work on errands! If he doesn't say yes, we'll spend a day with him! ”

Hearing Zhang Zongchuan's words, Li Chenglin complained again in his heart.

He didn't know what to do now.

After receiving Ding Zhihuang's order, Li Chenglin ordered his troops and horses and drove to the Dengzhou Navy Division camp to suppress the mutiny. What he didn't expect was that the officers and soldiers of the Navy Battalion were already angry at this time, and they didn't listen to the greetings at all, and even set fire to the Sailor warship that was parked on the shore to be repaired, Li Chenglin ordered his Green Battalion soldiers to suppress it, and shot and killed several soldiers of the Navy Battalion on the spot, he thought that this could deter the mutinous officers and soldiers of the Navy Battalion, but he didn't expect that the officers and soldiers of the Navy Battalion were furious when they saw this, and rushed up with their knives on the spot, and cut down with the Green Battalion soldiers. After this scuffle, the green battalion soldiers who came to suppress not only killed more than 40 people and injured more than 60 people, but were also expelled from the battalion by the officers and soldiers of the sailor battalion!
