Chapter 188 Emergency dispatch
Zhang Wentai didn't expect that his casual words would actually cause such a huge reaction from the commander. He looked at Feng Jian in shock.
When Feng Jian paused, Zhang Wentai hurriedly said, "Commander, there were many of the five hundred naval officers and soldiers under him who had a lot to do with the clerks of the Haifang Road Office. Then he sent them to find someone to find the follower of the Haifang Road Master, and he would definitely get the exact news from the Governor's Office."
Feng Jian looked anxious and waved his hand and said, "Wen Tai quickly went to arrange it, come and report it immediately after you get the news."
Zhuang Yingchang led Niu Liang and three Dengzhou navy commanders to walk to the door of Feng Inspection Cabin when he suddenly saw Zhang Wentai walking out in a hurry.
"Wen Tai, what are you going in a hurry?" Zhuang Yingchang asked.
Zhang Wentai grabbed Zhuang Yingchang and walked aside. The two whispered a few words. Then Zhang Wentai greeted Niu Liang and the other two and hurriedly left.
Zhuang Yingchang's face became a little nervous and uneasy. It was obvious that a major change occurred in the cabin. Niu Liang and the other two were all worldly-wise, so they could naturally see it.
Zhuang Yingchang turned to the three people and said, "I'm going to hide it from the three of you. The garrison in the cabin has important matters to deal with. Please go to the side cabin to rest first. I will lose my companion for a while."
Niu Liang and the other two looked at each other, and Niu Liang said, "Laozhuang, you are busy with your own business, and there is nothing important to us. We will come to visit the commander next day when we have time tomorrow and the next day!"
Zhuang Yingchang quickly apologized: "Okay, let the three brothers go for nothing, but three of them don't worry, the garrison promised that as long as we follow the agreement between our two sides, whether the matter is successful or not, you three can get the remaining silver."
The three of them were overjoyed and said in unison: "Then thank you Lord Guardian. Please tell me Lao Zhuang about the Lord Guardian. The three of us are all people who believe in their words. The things we promised will be strictly confidential and implemented seriously. We will definitely come to visit another day!"
After sending the three people off the boat, Zhuang Yingchang quickly walked towards the cabin where Feng Jian was. As soon as he entered Feng Jian’s warehouse, Cheng Yousheng was reporting: "The most direct way is to bribe the officials in the governor's yamen. His subordinates have sent a few smart brothers to Dengzhou City..."
Feng Jian waved his hand and interrupted Cheng Yousheng and said, "I don't want to listen to the specific arrangements. I just need to understand the quickest way of the governor of Dengzhou City."
Feng Jian looked up and saw Zhuang Yingchang coming in and said casually: "Why are you the only one in Laozhuang? Where are the other three?"
Zhuang Yingchang hurriedly said, "Niu Liang and the other two said they would come to visit the commander again the next day, and they have already gotten off the ship."
Feng Jian nodded and said, "It's good that this is the case. These three people are quite good at understanding the current affairs. You can communicate more later."
Feng Jian said, frowning tightly into the word "chuan", "Laozhuang, you said that after the four gates of Dengzhou City were closed for an hour, what is the mystery behind it suddenly opened?"
Zhuang Yingchang had heard Zhang Wentai say a few words just now, so he said: "I feel that Dengzhou City suddenly opened the closed city gate and allowed ordinary people to enter and exit. It can only be said that the major events that happened in Dengzhou City have been resolved, or the governor's yamen has realized that the major events that happened have nothing to do with Dengzhou City."
Cheng Yousheng interrupted and said, "I think that on New Year's Eve today, the sudden exit of the enemy hunting department will definitely attract attention. The Governor's Office will just send someone to inquire about the situation of entering and leaving the city and discover abnormalities. Governor Sun must have noticed that the foreign craftsmen have left the city!"
Feng Jian nodded and said, "I also have concerns in this regard. Since Governor Sun knows that foreign craftsmen have been kidnapped outside the city, he will definitely try every means to send people to chase him. Don't forget that 20,000 troops are stationed outside the city of Dengzhou. Once Governor Sun orders the military camp outside the city to send troops to chase him, the Hunting Office will be in danger!"
Zhuang Yingchang vaguely knew that Chen Xiaoshan and the Hunting Office went to Dengzhou City, with the purpose of bringing more than 20 foreign craftsmen out of Dengzhou City, and avoiding these foreign craftsmen surrendering to the Later Jin Dynasty with the riots in the future.
It seems that the tension in Dengzhou City today is related to the Hunting Office, as the commander said. Once the military camp outside the city sends troops to chase the Hunting Office, things will be really troublesome!
Zhuang Yingchang usually has fewer contacts with the Hunting Enemy Department. He was not very concerned about whether the Hunting Enemy Department soldiers had any accidents, but at this time he was facing the plot to make ships in the Water City. Once the Hunting Enemy Department soldiers had accidents, which would implicate the next action, it would be more than worth the loss! Zhuang Yingchang suddenly felt a little worried when he thought of this.
Jiang Yu, who was standing beside Feng Jian, frowning his eyebrows were frowning. After Feng Jian said that, he bowed directly to Feng Jian and said, "Dengzhou City's orders to go to the camp outside the city. The camp outside the city will mobilize troops to chase us brothers hunting the enemy. There will be a delay in this. Please do not wait for the outside investigation to bring back the news. Instead, you should immediately order and send people to warn the two groups of enemy hunting officers and ask them to arrange solutions to deal with them!"
Cheng Yousheng has been with Feng Jian for a long time. He knew that the commander was weighing the pros and cons in his heart at this time, so he consciously closed his mouth and did not dare to disturb Feng Jian's thinking.
After Jiang Yu finished speaking, he saw that Feng Jian did not agree with his suggestions, but instead frowned, and beat the table with five fingers with his right hand rhythmically. Obviously, his heart was not very calm. He looked forward to waiting for the commander's decision.
The cabin fell into a brief dullness. Suddenly, Feng Jian beat the table with his right hand and looked at several people in the cabin. His eyes turned to Jiang Yu: "Your advice has been heard by this commander. Now, just warning them can't relieve the danger. The only way is to fight against the chasing officers and kill them back to ensure the safety of the enemy hunting department."
Zhuang Yingchang asked with concern: "There are few soldiers in the hunting enemy, but there are not few pursuers. It is probably inappropriate to fight with the Dengzhou camp official army!"
Feng Jian said simply: "Who said I want the hunting enemy soldiers to fight against the pursuers!" Feng Jian didn't have time to pay attention to Zhuang Yingchang's stunned expression and continued: "Cheng Zi immediately sent orders to the bird gun soldiers Mashan, Yang Bashi and the bird gun soldiers, and let the bird gun soldiers change back to their casual clothes and fully armed ready to go to rescue the enemy soldiers."
Zhuang Yingchang was anxious when he heard this, forgot the scolding he had suffered when questioning Feng Jian’s decision a few days ago. He said: “The commander is inappropriate. The sudden departure of 600 fully armed bird gun soldiers from the city will definitely attract the vigilance of the Water City government, thereby preventing the bird gun soldiers from leaving the city. If you look closely, it will probably affect our overall plan. In addition, all the bird gun soldiers left, who will make the gunpowder pack, and who will guard the bird gun soldiers’ garrison?”
Feng Jian's face darkened, ignored Zhuang Yingchang's reminder, and said to Cheng Yousheng: "The bird gun soldiers were led by Mashan and Yang Bashi, each led by 100 bird gun soldiers, and Jiang Yu was guided by him, and set out to the two official roads in the east and west directions of Dengzhou City. He found that the Hunting Office was chased by the Dengzhou Camp officers and soldiers. He only raised the bird guns and worked with the Hunting Office to kill the pursued Dengzhou Camp soldiers."
Cheng Yousheng asked, "Does the commander need to give Mashan in person? Yang Bashiyi."
Feng Jian shook his head and said, "The matter is urgent. We must set off immediately after the assembly is completed and ask them to leave the city from the east gate of Shuicheng. This will shorten the rendezvous soldiers led by Liu Rongsheng. The guards at the gate of the city will stuff them more silver, and they will not make things difficult for them on purpose."
Feng Jian also instructed Jiang Yu: "You lead the bird gun soldiers all the way to chase Chen Xiaoshan and his party as soon as possible. It is best to find a way to avoid the Dengzhou camp soldiers and hunt them down. If you can't avoid them, you must find a way to reduce your casualties. After that, the bird gun soldiers followed the enemy hunting department and returned to Huluyan."
Jiang Yu shouted: "I will pay attention to it!" He turned around and followed Cheng Yousheng to walk out of the cabin.
Zhuang Yingchang is stubborn and this kind of personality is the easiest to offend people. He is probably related to Zhang Wentai being excluded from the Dengzhou Navy.
Seeing that Feng Jian ignored him, when Cheng Yousheng and Jiang Yu left, he bowed to Feng Jian and continued to argue.
Feng Jian was anxious, waved his hand slightly at him, and said patiently: "Lao Zhuang, you may not know that the foreign craftsmen rescued from Dengzhou City by the Hunting Office were craftsmen who specialized in making red cannons in Dengzhou. These people stayed in Dengzhou City in the future and would only be cheaper from Kong Youde's rebels. The Hunting Office tried his best to rescue these people from Dengzhou City. If the Hunting Office suffered casualties due to my inaction, the foreign craftsmen were recaptured by Dengzhou Camp again, this is absolutely not allowed!"
"But……"
Feng Jian immediately stopped him and said, "Lao Zhuang, don't be too persistent in everything. The departure of the bird gun soldiers has limited impact on our overall plan, but it is crucial for the enemy hunting department. With the help of the bird gun soldiers, the enemy hunting department may escape danger, but on the contrary, it may fall into a desperate situation."
...
Chen Xiaoshan and his group rode for more than 40 rides and five carriages followed Dengzhou to Zhaoyuan official road. The snowflakes gradually stopped. At this time, at least two inches of snow had accumulated on the ground of the official road. It was not a big problem to walk on the official road, and it was a bit difficult for the carriage to walk on the road.
Therefore, if you want to speed up your journey, you cannot speed up your journey. The speed of your carriage is not even as fast as walking.
Chen Xiaoshan, Guo Tai and others were anxious, but they couldn't think of a way to speed up the journey.
At this time, Niu Er came up to Chen Xiaoshan and said, "There is a foreign craftsman who claims to be "Lu Ruohan" repeatedly telling him what conditions to discuss with Shen Touer. He hopes that Shen Touer will give him a chance!"
Chen Xiaoshan sighed: "We should explain a few words to these foreigners, inform them of the situation they face, and try our best to restore them to normal."
Guo Tai said: "It is easy to meet these people, but how to convince them to cooperate is a big problem. Brother Chen has figured out how to deal with it?"
Chen Xiaoshan scratched his head and said, "Old Guo, do you have a solution to make these foreigners obedient and obedient?"
Guo Taitou shook his head and continued, "It's just a threat and temptation, beating and pulling. As long as these foreign craftsmen can obey along the way and cooperate with us to return to Huluyan, they will complete the important task assigned by the commander."
It was almost noon at this time, and it had been almost two hours since Chen Xiaoshan and his party left Dengzhou City. Chen Xiaoshan and his team were almost ten miles south along the official road. In front of them was Mishen Mountain. As long as they successfully passed through Mishen Mountain, they would temporarily escape from danger. Only traces of three horseshoe marks and five or six carriage wheels were left on the winding official road.
