The dry camp of the Ninghai Division. Because the port of Quanzhou is large enough, and this side is close to the sea, the shouting and killing in the west of the city can hardly be heard here.

However, Lord Jiafu, who was the city guard and governor of Quanzhou Port, sent four personal soldiers in just half a day to urge the naval division to participate in the battle, which was enough to let the soldiers of the Ninghai Division know the danger of Xichengxingshì.

Almost half of the pipe belts of the eight main ships, including the vice generals of the four detachments, gathered here to discuss the current situation and what to do with the Ninghai Division.

"Governor Jiafu has sent people to urge many times, but I am afraid that ......"

Some people were anxious, obviously very unhappy about the battle situation, "But we are sailors!" Everyone is not familiar with land warfare and defending the city, and it won't help much if they go. ”

Zheng Lu, the pipe band of the Yongfu, shook his head, obviously unwilling to wade into this troubled water.

There are also those who resolutely want to participate in the war: "If you don't help, won't you be able to see the fall of Zhougang?" ”

"The problem is that it was the officers and troops of Songjiang who attacked Quanzhou. What does it have to do with us when the official army fights with the official army? ”

Ding Yang, the deputy general of the naval division, had a similar attitude to Zheng Lu, and bluntly refuted the other party.

Peace of mind, as if completely unaffected by the war.

"What Songjiang's officers and soldiers, who doesn't know their old bottom?"

Another lieutenant general, Ye Gunan, said indignantly: "It was started by a group of rebels, and the previous recruitment was just to buy time." Now that the southwest of the country has changed, I can't help but show my fox tail after being honest for less than a year, and we must not let them go! ”

Ye Gunan's attitude was very firm, and he was also one of the few generals in the Ninghai Division who openly asked for support.

As for the other soldiers, most of them are still hesitating.

However, what puzzled them was that Shi Liang, the commander of the Ninghai Division, had not shown up until now.

Previously, the soldiers of the Jiafu faction wanted to ask to see them, but they were also shirked by Shi Liang because of his physical illness.

Everyone knows that Shi Liang's body is very strong, and he has not had a minor illness for more than ten years.

This sudden infection is undoubtedly a kind of refusal.

, the Admiral does not seem to want to send troops.

It is precisely because of this factor that the number of people participating in the war within the Ninghai Division has always been low.

After all, Shi Liang has been in this fleet for many years, and his prestige is very high.

In the middle of the argument, Quanzhou sent a cavalry again.

Undoubtedly, this is the fifth time that Jiafu has sent a personal soldier to ask for help.

In the previous few times, although the pro-soldiers who asked for help were anxious, they were still able to maintain their dignity.

And this time, he didn't have the slightest indifference, turned over and dismounted, and stumbled into the dry camp.

The news he brought over shocked the soldiers of the Sailor Division.

They had known about the collapse of the city wall by the stone thrower, but they never expected that the attack of the Songjiang army would be so fierce that the city defense battalion of Quanzhou Port was quickly dispersed.

If it weren't for the last wing of the Ninghai Garrison Brigade to rise in time, I am afraid that Quanzhou Port would be lost directly.

Rao is so, and the current situation is not optimistic.

In addition, because the situation in Ninghai County has gradually become clear, the maritime merchants in Quanzhou Port also chose to wait and see, and did not send reinforcements lightly.

In this case, Jiafu eagerly hoped that Master Ninghai could take the lead and show his attitude.

In that case, it may be possible to mobilize the enthusiasm of the forces in Quanzhou Port.

After all, what bothers Jiafu is not the shortage of manpower, but more the morale and morale of the army!

"I told you earlier that the Admiral is sick and can't see guests!"

Ding Yang stopped the personal soldiers sent by Jiafu and refused to let him in.

On the previous occasions, the soldiers were sent back in this way.

But this time, the battle situation in Quanzhou Port was already very critical, and the soldiers couldn't take care of it so much, so they had to force their way through by drawing their swords.

Of course, he knew that Shi Liang was probably not really sick, but did not want to participate in the war.

Maybe he didn't want to wade into troubled waters, or maybe he wanted to preserve his strength, but he didn't know that Songjiang Jun had already contacted Shi Liang in advance, and he also surrendered the other party smoothly.

"Lord Ding, what are you doing!"

Ye Gunan went a little, dodged over and stopped Ding Yang, wanting to let his soldiers in.

Others didn't dare to come forward because he was afraid of Ding Yang, the deputy general, but he Ye Gunan was at the same level as the other party, and he thought he was from a public heart, so he was fearless.

Taking advantage of Ye Gunan's appearance, Jiafu's personal soldiers seized the opportunity and wanted to break in after Ding Yang, but they were stopped by the soldiers outside Shi Liangmen.

Just as the two sides were about to clash, the door suddenly opened.

Shi Liang was dressed in a sailor robe, walked out with an expressionless face, and shouted: "Shouting in the barracks, what kind of system!" ”

Admiral Sailor was angry, and no one dared to speak back.

Including the two lieutenant generals, everyone had to salute and admit their mistakes.

"Lord Admiral, my Governor ......"

Liang finally came forward, and it didn't look like he was sick at all, and the soldiers sent by Jiafu seized the opportunity to show their intentions and make Shi Liang make a decision.

But his words were interrupted.

"The task of the sailors is to protect the security of the sea and the frontier, not to fight on land."

Shi Liang condescended, stared at the guard, and said lightly: "If the enemy is coming from the sea, Master Ninghai should fight bravely to kill the enemy." But the enemy is coming from the land, and it is said that it is still the official army of Songjiang, this is an internal matter of your official government, and it has nothing to do with my sailor, please go back! ”

"Think twice, Lord Admiral!"

After receiving the other party's clear refusal, the guards felt a chill in their hearts, but they still refused to go back like this, and pleaded: "In the current situation, if the Admiral refuses to send troops to help, the fall of Quanzhou Port is already doomed. Ninghai Division is also the emperor's ** team, and he also has the responsibility of defending the land and the people! ”

Ye Gunan couldn't help it, stepped forward to buckle his chest and salute, and helped persuade him: "Lord Shi, the Songjiang Army is called the official army, but it is actually from a group of rebels. Sending troops to attack Quanzhou for no reason is actually treason, and they must not be allowed to act recklessly. ”

Shi Liang fixed Gu Nan, and after a while, his voice sank, and he asked, "When can the adjutant of the water division help the admiral make a decision in turn?" ”

This is already a very strict accusation, which means that Yegunan has overpassed.

The urgent lieutenant also realized that his attitude was wrong at this time, and he immediately apologized.

But before he could say anything, Shi Liang continued: "What is the predecessor of the Songjiang Army, Admiral Ben doesn't care, but after all, it was personally recruited by the imperial center. In addition, the task of the sailor is to defend against the invasion of the sea, and I don't want to say this sentence a third time! ”

He glanced at Ding Yang directly, then turned around and went back to the house, slamming the door shut.

"Your Excellency, please go back."

Ding Yang stepped sideways and asked the two soldiers to set up the depressed Jiafu soldiers out of the dry camp.

By this time, Ye Gunan had already sniffed something strange from Shi Liang's attitude.

Ding Yang, who was shocked, quickly searched for the truth in his heart.

Is it unwilling to participate, or do you want to roll up the sailor and directly abandon Ninghai and go to the East China Sea, or is it?

Thinking of the last possibility, Ye Gunan's body was shocked, he didn't dare to say anything, turned around and walked to the pier trestle where the warship was parked.

"The Admiral has an order, everyone is not allowed to go to sea!"

Ding Yang's words came from behind, and the sound of a team of sailors drawing their swords sounded at the same time.

Ye Gunan naturally dared to make any moves, and he would be taken down directly.

The whole dry camp suddenly fell silent.

……… The sailor refused to go to war!

The news came from the military port of the Ninghai Division, and although the various forces in Quanzhou Port were in an uproar, the civil and military officials of Jiafu and Quanzhou, who were already in a hurry, were even more angry and a little desperate.

In the current situation, Ning Haishi can be said to be their last hope, and his strength is quite strong.

Once this group of troops refused to participate in the war, the local tycoons and several sea merchants in the city who were waiting to hear the news were afraid that they would be even more reluctant to go out.

Without them, with less than 2,000 defenders in the city, what could they do to resist the attack of the Songjiang army?

"I really can't ......"

Zhang Ze, the financial director of Ninghai County, Jiafu's henchman, said half a sentence.

Subsequently, the colleagues who were at a loss for words and Jiafu himself.

"What can't you do?"

Jiafu asked casually as he paced back and forth in the conference room.

"If it really doesn't work, let's open the city and surrender."

Zhang Zeyi gritted his teeth and said the second half of the sentence hard: "Now that the Songjiang army has only attacked halfway, we still have a lot of soldiers, and we still have the capital to bargain." After another day or two, the wing of the garrison brigade will be disabled, and there will really be no capital at all. ”

"Surrender!"

Jiafu's face changed, and he subconsciously wanted to reprimand him, but as soon as his eyes turned, few of the civil and military officials in the conference room had no objection on their faces.

In this case, silence is nothing less than support.

Zhang Ze was also encouraged by this silent support, and he was a lot bolder, and said eloquently: "The situation in Ninghai County is already like this, Shazhou Mansion is occupied, and although there is no movement on Hualien's side, it is only a matter of time or time." We are a lonely city in Quanzhou Port, what can we do against the army of the Songjiang Army? ”

"But ......"

Jiafu's heart was a little shaken, but it was difficult to make a decision for a while.

Surrender Chen Wu, will the other party still reuse him?

What if the empire comes to settle in the future?

"If you don't surrender, you will definitely die. If you surrender, you may be able to save a fortune. Chen Wu of Songjiang heard that he also got the mandate of heaven. ”

Zhang Ze whispered, this was the only way he could think of.

Jiafu was persuaded by Zhang Ze's words.

Indeed, the port of Quanzhou is now surrounded on three sides, and the sailors do not seem to be reliable anymore.

Jiafu didn't dare to guarantee that if he wanted to leave by sea now, he would not be detained by Shi Liang.

Since you can't get out of the city, and you can't hold the city, you can only die if you continue to resist stubbornly.

Thinking of Chen Wu's previous achievements and his actions after entering Songjiang Tiannan, Jiafu's mind turned a few times, and he didn't say whether he surrendered or not, but said: "The Songjiang army has already blasted open the city wall, but I'm afraid that it may not be willing to accept it." ”

Hearing this, the sound of exhalation was evident in the conference room.

Zhang Ze also knew that the governor should have agreed, and volunteered: "If the army refused to attack the city three days ago, I knew that most of them were also scruples about sacrifice and didn't want to come hard." If the Governor is worried, his subordinates are willing to risk going out of the city and talking to the people of Songjiang! ”
