Zhan Yuan stared at Zhuang Yingchang and Zhang Wentai and said, "Lao Zhuang, Lao Zhang, it's not that the three of us are suspicious. If Kong Youde's rebellious troops captured Dengzhou, the Dengzhou Navy would be occupied by him, so that the court and the country had nothing to say. But if the military was in chaos, your Pingduzhou Xun Camp would rob these many warships, no matter what purpose it was, how would you explain to the emperor and the court ministers in the future? Could it be that your Pingduzhou Xun Camp can still take these ships for yourself? Even if you Pingduzhou Xun Camp can take these ships for yourself, you two know how much investment it takes to bear a navy. Can you afford it? There is a place for you Pingduzhou Xun Camp to berth so many ships?"

Zhuang Yingchang and Zhang Wentai were actually unsure about Feng Jian's judgment that Kong Youde's rebellious troops captured Dengzhou City, but the two of them were responsible for persuasion that they could not show their timidity no matter what.

Zhang Wentai was quite anxious and said, "If you don't want to make this fortune or get this opportunity, Lao Zhuang and I left immediately without saying a word..."

Zhuang Yingchang gave Zhang Wentaishi a wink and said, "The three must have received news that Kong Youde and Li Jiucheng led their troops to rebel."

Seeing the three nodded, Zhuang Yingchang continued: "Kong Youde's troops conquered Linyi, Ling County, Shanghe, Deping and Qingcheng five prefectures and counties in seven days, burning, killing and plundering everywhere, and are now leading troops to Dengzhou at night."

I never heard of this. The three of them changed their faces and began to realize that Kong Youde's rebellious soldiers were not just making small fuss, but actually causing chaos.

Zhuang Yingchang continued: "According to the news received by our garrison, Governor Sun has mobilized General Zhang Tao to lead Liao troops and Dengzhou General Zhang Ke, the general of Dengzhou, to guard the Dengzhou camp outside Dengzhou City, preparing to fight to the death with Kong Youde!"

Hearing this, the three of them relaxed their expressions. Niu Liang interrupted and said, "That's all, the army led by the two generals of Dengzhou City is several times more than the rebellious soldiers. It will definitely quell the rebellion."

Zhuang Yingchang said: "To be honest, the more than three news are all sent back by spies scattered everywhere in our garrison. Every time the garrison soldiers go, they will carry the local young and strong into the garrison troops. Now there are tens of thousands of people. Our garrisons are also preparing for the future. If Dengzhou City is nothing to do, we can lead the navy to escape the garrison troops in time, not only to avoid the suffering of enslavement of the garrison troops. For the adults, the few of them have made great contributions, so why not do it!"

Lan Zhengji, who had not spoken, smacked his lips and said, "After all, the garrison officer of your prefecture camp has set his sights on the 100 ships of all sizes in the Navy camp, and wants to get our Navy ship while the war is in chaos."

Speaking of which, Zhuang Yingchang and Zhang Wentai really have no potential to be lobbyists. Instead, the three people in front of them took the initiative.

Zhang Wentai was quite impatient: "You don't have to worry about this, Lao Lan. I will only ask three of you. If Kong Youde really wants to conquer Dengzhou, do you three want to make such a fortune!"

Niu Liang and other lucky boats actually live a bad life. They not only want to support their families, but also welcome and send all kinds of human feelings to the world.

Sometimes the military pay is not paid for several months, and the military pay has to take care of a large group of subordinates, and it’s good that I respect my superiors!

Two thousand taels of silver were enough for them to catch up with their ten years of military pay, and the three of them were already overjoyed. This was not much risk to them. As long as the riots could not capture Dengzhou, they would not need to flee by boat.

Even if the rebels captured Dengzhou and fled on a boat, they reported to the court afterwards that they might get rewarded by the court. It's such a good plan!

The reason why the three of them pushed three times and four times was just to get more benefits. Now seeing Zhang Wentai’s signs of turning against each other, it was difficult to control it.

Niu Liang glanced at the silver notes on the table and continued, "Lao Zhuang, Lao Zhang, don't talk about it. We have heard of the deeds of your garrison master, and even the emperor praised him! You two have been following him for more than four months and have been so obedient to him. It seems that you garrison master are very unusual. Just for this point, the three of us agreed to participate in this matter."

Zhuang Yingchang said with a sigh of relief: "Don't worry, we are the garrison masters, and as long as you keep your promises and act according to the agreement, you can guarantee that you have a good future, official position, money, and women are indispensable. We must also talk about the front line. If that person is ill-hearted and intends to be ineffective against our Xun Camp, let alone our Xun Camp, even our Xun Camp will never give up!"

Niu Liang and the other two looked at each other for a few times and spoke: "We were all colleagues of the navy before, and now we have received generous salaries from your garrison master. At this moment, we can only do our best to do this! Please tell you garrison master, and we and the three of us are willing to take on this matter."

Zhuang Yingchang picked up the wine glass and smiled: "In this way, Lao Zhang and I will greet you on behalf of the garrison! And please come to the boat to talk."

At this moment, after receiving the news of the rebellion of the Liao soldiers of the head of the governor Kong Youde, the six departments that had already been sealed and stopped working were urgently ordered by the governor to return to the office. Kong Youde's military chaos not only governors, but also military preparations and other major figures will be implicated. The court will pursue the matter, and even ordinary officials will not escape the blame.

"Kong Youde only raised an ungrateful wolf. The governor trusted him so much. Who would have thought that he would stab the governor Sun in turn? Where did he want to place Lord Sun?"

"We Denglai will definitely be affected by Kong Youde's rebellion. Governors can change places and become officials, but it will be a hard work for us little people. The court appointed a governor again, and our pockets will be deflated again!"

All the officials in the Governor's yamen had different thoughts and whispered together. No one noticed that there were a few strangers dressed in ordinary officials in the yamen.

On the surface, these people are looking for someone to do things, but secretly checking the terrain and roads in the official office.

Denglai Governor Sun Yuanhua sat in the back hall of the government office, with a solemn face. Around him were his aides. The future and destiny of the aides were shared with the governor, and they were also deeply worried about the future of the governor.

Sun Yuanhua turned around and asked a middle-aged Confucian scholar in his forties sitting beside him, saying, "Qingping, I need to add a reply to the Prime Minister, and said that the tutor has been arranged properly and the soldiers will soon be sentenced to death. Please give the Prime Minister a lot of good words in front of the saint when he is a fellow villager! In addition, a special person was sent to send 100 Dongzhu, 20 kilograms of wild mountain ginseng, 100 squids of marten skin, and 5,000 taels of silver on the Prime Minister's mansion. This matter should be handled quickly!"

"Affect the Lord's orders." The Confucian scholar who was called Qingping by Sun Yuanhua bowed and agreed.

He continued, "Governor, please forgive me for being frank. Now all factions in the court have written letters to impeach the Lord, believing that the Lord is the culprit of this military chaos. The Wen Tiren faction, the second assistant of the cabinet, took advantage of the Shandong inspector Wang Daochun and Shaanxi test censor Yu Yinggui, to impeach the Lord, and pointed the finger at the chief assistant Zhou Yanru, who valued the governor. He tried to take the opportunity to overthrow the Chief assistant! The governor should cheer up and fight with such trivial matters!"

Sun Yuanhua rubbed his forehead dejectedly and said, "Qingping, we both have a friendship with Lord Zhou. We rely on Lord Zhou to take care of him, so we cannot do things based on our own preferences."

As he said that, Sun Yuanhua's expression turned to resentment and said, "It's hateful. Yu Yinggui said in the impeachment memorial that it was not Kong Youde who instructed the Dengzhou soldiers to rebel, but I, Sun Yuanhua. The one who promoted Kong Youde's rebellion was not me, Sun Yuanhua, but the chief assistant Zhou Yanru."

Qingping and the aides present shouted Yu Yinggui's shamelessness.

Sun Yuanhua sighed and said, "Thanks to the Emperor's wise and wise, he criticized his 'repeated slander, pride and disgrace' in his memorial, and issued an order to demote this thief official to three levels to show punishment. Wen Tiren was determined to grab the position of chief minister, and used all kinds of means. In the end, Master Zhou's position as chief minister was not done well!"

Qingping nodded and said, "Wangsheng believed that the court had the care of the chief minister, and the most urgent task was to quickly eliminate Kong Youde's riots and minimize the unfavorable situation."

Sun Yuanhua said confidently: "I have ordered General Zhang Tao to lead the Liao soldiers and Dengzhou general Zhang Ke to lead the Dengzhou camp troops outside Dengzhou City. The two generals have several times the soldiers of Kong Youde. The Liao soldiers led by Zhang Tao are even more elite soldiers in a hundred battles. It is no problem to annihilate Kong Youde's rebellious soldiers in one fell swoop!"

Qingping suggested: "Sir, General Zhang is under his command of Liao soldiers, and Kong Youde's rebellious soldiers are also Liao soldiers. It is best to let General Zhang persuade Kong Youde's rebellious soldiers to abandon their weapons and surrender. We will take them down without bloodshed, so that the governor can also be less responsible."

Sun Yuanhua sighed and said, "Hey, Qingping, you don't know. Since July this year, the leader of Dongnu, Huang Taiji, first sent troops to besiege Dalinghe City. In November, he gathered troops from the eastern and western Mongolia tribes to divide their troops from Xifengkou, Longjingkou, Da'ankou and other passes into the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty to plunder. Zhao Rujiao, Man Gui and other generals died in battle. The emperor and the court ministers were in a state of chaos. Suddenly, Kong Youde led his troops to rebel, and the rebellion soldiers burned, killed and looted all the way, causing trouble to the county government along the way. This just gave the emperor and the court ministers an excuse to shirk responsibility. Even if I surrendered Kong Youde's rebellion, I would be unlucky. This governor's position would not be able to be done!"

Qingping quickly bowed to Sun Yuanhua and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry too much. As long as you quickly calm down the rebellion and arrest the culprit, the chief assistant Zhou Ge Lao in the court will always take care of you."

Sun Yuanhua said with a depressed expression: "Your opinion is reasonable. With the Chief Auxiliary, I am not interested in the official position, but I am very angry at Kong Youde's rebellion. Mao Wenlong was killed. In times of crisis, Kong Youde and others came to join the Liao people in Dongjiang. I treated him so well, but I never expected that he would stab me in the back. Alas, it's because I was so confused that I didn't know how to recognize people!"

Dengzhou Navy Camp, in the cabin of Feng Jian’s Dafu Ship in the Xun Camp in Pingduzhou, Zhuang Yingchang and Zhang Wentai sat in Feng Jian’s attack.

Feng Jian smiled and said, "So, you two and three former colleagues agreed to cooperate with us to drive the navy ship away when the riots came."
