Chapter 178 Opportunities and Challenges

Feng Jian’s words are obviously carrots and sticks, which are both sweet and threatening. It depends on how Zhuang Yingchang and Zhang Wentai express their opinions!

Zhuang Yingchang and Zhang Wentai looked at each other. The garrison was also direct enough. The general who continued to be the lucky ship would surrender to him. In the future, he obeyed the garrison's orders, but did not accept the garrison's conditions, and the consequences would be no longer there.

Faced with these two choices, the two did not hesitate much, and both knelt down in front of Feng Jian: "From now on, we will follow the orders of the garrison master and will never be lip service. Please accept it!"

Feng Jian took a step forward and helped the two up and said, "I am very pleased that you can choose this way. I plan to build a house for you in Pingdu City in the past few days. You two can bring your family to reunite in the near future."

Hearing Feng Jian's words, Zhuang Yingchang and Zhang Wentai were both shocked. No matter what the purpose of the garrison was purchasing a house for them, the act of putting themselves in their shoes was touching!

Both of them were straightforward men, Zhang Wentai said directly: "I will not hide it from the garrison. If the garrison refuses to tolerate others, the two of them will resign after the handover will make another plan."

Feng Jian smiled and said, "I didn't expect that my official's actions would be beyond your expectations!"

Zhuang Yingchang and Zhang Wentai nodded solemnly, and Zhuang Yingchang said, "Since the garrison is willing to accept me, I will never be distracted, and the Zhouxunying Navy will never be distracted."

Feng Jian nodded and said, "I believe in the two of you. In addition, I will select a group of people to join the state camp for training. You two must be prepared."

Zhang Wentai said: "Don't worry, magistrate, please hand over the hands of us. We guarantee that you will be trained to become qualified naval officers and soldiers. But now, the more than 500 people in the low-level position have been living on the boat, so please magistrate, magistrate, magistrate, magistrate, magistrate, magistrate, should be placed as soon as possible."

Feng Jian nodded and said, "The Zhouxun Barracks in Pingdu City are the training and garrisons under the naval commandership and soldiers. Our naval commanders and soldiers can temporarily live in the Zhouxun Camp. Considering that the Zhouxun Barracks are nearly ten miles away from the Jiaolai River, it is very inconvenient to travel. I plan to open a site on the bank of this river to establish a new camp in our Zhouxun Camp."

Zhuang Yingchang nodded repeatedly and said, "The Guardian is considerate. Our navy officers and soldiers have been making a living on the water all year round. If the garrison is far away from the ship, it will be difficult to react in time when encountering emergencies. Now the Guardian is indeed very wise in building a new camp site!"

Feng Jian smiled and said, "Okay, now you two gathered the navy's officers and soldiers. Except for the officers and soldiers on duty in the key departments, the rest were stationed in Zhouxun Camp. There are almost no ships coming and going from Jiaolai River. You don't have to patrol every day."

In the hot summer, standing by the river bank and watching the slowly flowing southward, the breeze blows the coolness on the river surface to the people lingering on the shore, making the heat in their bodies gradually dissipate. The wide banks of the Jiaolai River gradually become a good place for the people around them to enjoy the coolness and enjoy!

The two great blessing ships became the targets of the people's rush to watch, causing the blessing ship to be in a turmoil. One day later, within two miles of the blessing ship, they were controlled by a team of soldiers wearing distinctive armor. The people who were watching the fun could only take a look from afar. Even so, the people still rushed to the Jiaolai River. Soon, some people on both sides of the river began to set up stalls and started doing business with the people who were visiting.

The soldiers controlled the warning area and built a wall within a few days to completely separate the Dafu ship from the surrounding area. What is the name of the wall? Ordinary people are not qualified to know!

Feng Jian quickly took a fancy to two large mansions in Pingdu City, and sent someone to find out that it was the Cui family living here, so he directly sent Lord Cheng Yousheng to find Cui Chengyong.

Faced with this upstart in Pingdu City, Cui Chengyong was always worried that Feng Jian would find trouble for the Cui family. Cui Chengyong once reached an agreement with Feng Jian and took the initiative to transfer some of the family's industries to Feng Jian at a low price in exchange for peace of the Cui family. On the surface, Feng Jian did not cause trouble for the Cui family again, but the failure to get the promise is always worried.

When Cheng Yousheng came to the door, Feng Jian took a fancy to the two houses. Cui Cheng immediately asked the Cui clans living in the two houses to move out of the two houses, and quickly vacate the house. According to the information provided by Feng Jian, the two houses were transferred to Zhuang Yingchang and Zhang Wentai respectively.

On August 11, 2018, the fourth year of Chongzhen, Zhang Wentai and Zhuang Yingchang took their families and children to Pingdu City, and the two families happily moved into the main courtyard with two entrances.

On October 22, the fourth year of Chongzhen, the new camp of the Pingdu Prefecture Fent Camp was completed. The original 500 officers and soldiers of the navy and the two thousand new navy recruits recently recruited by Feng Jian moved in. After more than two months of training, 20,000 new navy recruits had been waiting for how to control the ships, and to operate the cannons, bird guns and other weapons on board.

At this time, the other eight ships that Sun Yuanhua, the governor of Denglai, agreed to Feng Jian, had been allocated to the Xun Camp in Pingdu Prefecture, and several small ships were carried out on weekday inspections.

During this period, two large-scale ships in Zhouxunying returned to Dengzhou Navy for supplies. Feng Jian followed him personally. With a large amount of silver, Feng Jian's two large-scale ships received weapons and ammunition supplies equivalent to ten large-scale ships, and even collected a large amount of ammunition directly from some naval officers.

The officers of the Dengzhou Navy Battalion were not sure why the guards who ran out of the corner collected so much weapons and ammunition, but no one went to investigate. No one could care if they wanted to spend too much money.

On the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month of the fourth year of Chongzhen, Feng Jian convened all senior management staff under the Huluyan system to conduct an annual summary at the Xunying Camp in Pingdu Prefecture.

This year, each mutual aid association in Huluyan planted corn in accordance with the requirements of the General Aid Association, and achieved a huge harvest. The yield per mu reached 600 kilograms. The corn harvest plus the remaining various types of grains, nearly 100,000 people under Huluyan had surplus grains. The farmers were no longer worried about how to spend the winter for the first time...

The Huluyan General Mutual Aid Association has a total of 61 mutual aid associations. Each mutual aid association receives more and less public grains due to the different amount of land. However, under the strict supervision of the Supervision Department, there is almost no private fraud.

The Huluyan General Mutual Aid Association stipulates that, except for leaving 30% of the public grain collected for daily expenses, all the remaining grain will be sent to the General Mutual Aid Association, and will be dispatched by the General Mutual Aid Association.

Finally, the mutual aid associations were sent to the General Mutual Aid Association to the grain warehouse on the Jiaolai Riverside. All the senior management of Huluyan were shocked. Who would have thought that the grain production of the pastoral village households who could not even eat a whole year had a great increase after the commander set up the mutual aid association. This was simply unbelievable!

In addition to supplying the Zhenshan Camp and the officers and soldiers, the remaining part was handed over to Pan Zhaoying's Dayou Grain Store for transactions.

Pan Zhaoying was born with a business mind. Under his continuous operation, Huluyan's grain was quickly transported to various places for sale through Jiaolai River. After the payment for the goods was recovered, it was handed over to the Huluyan General Mutual Aid Association 600,000 taels of silver.

This is another shocking news. Huluyan can generate such a great profit in a year by trading its own grain. In the future, Huluyan's territory will expand again, and there will be more and more mutual assistance. How much profit will it generate!

Regarding the idea of ​​his subordinates, Feng Jian pointed out that the Huluyan Mutual Aid Association can be successfully implemented in Daze Mountain because all the land is cultivated by the clerks and farmers themselves, so the land should be distributed to them as their own fields.

However, when you get outside the mountain, all the fields are owned. It is impossible to distribute the fields to the people for free. Therefore, new attempts must be made to form a mutual aid association outside the mountain. Therefore, even if the Huluyan territory is expanded, the harvest of its own food is basically the current amount!

In terms of military affairs, after Zhenshan Camp successively wiped out the remaining bandits in Daze Mountain, Feng Jian dispatched three thousand headquarters to three locations respectively.

Xu Yannian's 1,000 headquarters is stationed at the Zhenshan Camp headquarters; Zhao Shougang's 2,000 headquarters is stationed at Xiaohuakou, where the peak head is the only way to peace between Laizhou, and its geographical location is very important; Zhou Wei's 3,000 headquarters is stationed at Daqing Peak to deter small groups of bandits around him.

In addition, Jiao Keli's Yebukuro team members are now 1,000. Jiao Keli was also appointed by Feng Jian as the Yebukuro, Gao Daman, Ding Lian, and Liu Ergou, who were appointed as the Yebukuro.

The team members who did not take back the night were mainly dispatched by Feng Jian to Dengzhou, Laizhou, Changyi, Jinan and other places in Shandong to inquire about the customs and customs of various places, and to draw maps of various places.

Shen Xiaoshan's Enemy Hunting Department has the strictest requirements for personnel, and there are still less than one hundred people, but the less than one hundred soldiers of Enemy Hunting Department receive the strictest training. Each soldier is at least a qualified cavalry. On this basis, he is proficient in various combat and fighting skills against the enemy. The equipment of the Enemy Hunting Department is also better than other troops in Zhenshan Camp. All soldiers are equipped with chain mail, iron mesh skirt, spear, waist knife, and poison darts.

It can be said that the enemy hunting department is the most elite unit of Zhenshan Camp, but unfortunately it has not been able to expand its scale due to the lack of war horses! Feng Jian has contacted the outside world through his father-in-law Chen Sowen. He heard that war horses can be bought from Datong, Shanxi. Unfortunately, Datong was ravaged under the iron hoofs of tribes of the Later Jin and Mongolia, so the horse buying matter had to be stranded for the time being.

It took only one year for me to develop into a group of such a large size, and this group is still growing and growing, which requires constantly eroding the weak forces around me to strengthen myself.

Of course, Zhenshan Camp is now facing greater opportunities and greater challenges. This is the Dengzhou rebellion such as Kong Youde and Li Jiucheng who have already launched a rebellion in Wuqiao.

After Kong Youde launched a rebellion by Li Jiucheng and his son, he turned against each other and led his troops back to Shandong. At this time, he had already captured Linyi, Lingxian, Shanghe, and Qingcheng Zhucheng. He led his troops straight to Dengzhou. This news was sent back by night scattered in the local area.
