Chapter 197 Fushan Military Port

Not long after, Feng Jian and others received news that three officers and soldiers on the warship were drawn to the Shuicheng City Wall to assist in the defense.

Zhuang Yingchang smiled and said, "It's different to having money and not having money. Niu Liang and the other two are famous for being stingy, so they are always excluded. Now it's the other turn that they are always excluded. The three of them can finally be proud!"

Cheng Yousheng joked: "You and Zhang Wentai were both stingy before they met the commander. Now, compared with these former colleagues, they finally feel different!"

Feng Jian scolded Cheng Yousheng and said, "Laozhuang, Lao Zhang is now the chief executive of the Xun Camp in our province, so naturally he cannot be compared with outsiders."

Cheng Yousheng grinned and laughed a few times, and Zhuang Yingchang touched his chin and laughed a few times without any concern.

"If this continues, when Kong Youde's rebellious soldiers really capture Dengzhou City, Lord Daowang of Haigong will definitely order all naval officers and soldiers to go to the city wall to assist in the defense!" Zhuang Yingchang said with a sigh.

He has now completely put himself in Feng Jian’s view of the problem, and the change in his mentality determines his attitude towards doing things.

Feng Jian nodded and said, "This is inevitable. Kong Youde's rebellious soldiers captured Dengzhou City. It is strange that this Haifangdao master did not order the navy officers and soldiers to cooperate in defense of the city wall!"

Zhang Wentai said: "The commander proposed to purchase the artillery ammunition of Niu Liang and three other three on the general warship. The three of them cooperated very well and had transported all the ammunition on the ship to the ten ships in Xun Camp in our prefecture. Only bird gunner gunpowder lead, waist knife iron fork and other hand-to-hand combat weapons were left on the warship."

Zhuang Yingchang said: "Not only these, when breaking the ice, it will definitely attract counterattacks from the navy's officers and soldiers. The three generals suggested sending the gunners on their warships to each navy's warship. When they encounter attacks by the navy's officers and soldiers, they can assist the officers and soldiers of the prefecture camp to fire their artillery and fight back in time."

Cheng Yousheng said: "It seems that the money was not given away for free. These three people are pretty good, but their officers and soldiers may not be like them. They will help us in a proper manner."

Zhuang Yingchang and Zhang Wentai looked at each other and smiled and said, "Cheng Zi, you don't understand. Our navy has its own set of strategies to appease the officers and soldiers. Since they dare to propose this strategy, they must be confident. Besides, the gunners they sent were all dispersed to various warships, and there would definitely be no unexpected consequences."

Feng Jian pondered: "The three gunmen who were the generals who secretly dispatched the gunmen of the warship to the gunmen station of the Zhouxun Camp, and first distribute the people so that they can get familiar with each other so as to avoid being in a hurry when they are in action."

Zhuang Yingchang hurriedly bowed and said, "I will go and convey it now."

Feng Jian instructed: "Now the Navy Camp is full of people, so be cautious when speaking and doing things. Avoid accidents."

Zhuang Yingchang bowed and left.

On the ninth day of the first lunar month of the fifth year of Chongzhen, near the beach at the foot of Fushan Mountain, the military port wharf under construction in Huluyan was officially completed. A hundred feet long breakwater extended from the shore to the sea water, blocking the waves from the invasion of the military port wharf.

The sea water in this era is very clear and when the wind is calm, you can clearly see the fish, shrimps and crabs on the bottom of the sea when standing on the breakwater.

There is a water city built on the shore. The walls of the water city are tall and majestic. The entire water city is built according to the beach. It is rectangular, long from east to west and wide from north to south. The water city is 30 miles and 90 steps in a circumference, and the city wall is three meters high. It is one meter thick. The city wall is completely built of Fushan Mountain Stone, with three city gates east, west and north.

The south of the water city is facing the sea. The south of the water city is open, so the water city has no south gate. Ships enter the military port and go directly into the breakwater. There are many berths built along the coast of Matou. The shore of the wharf is completely paved with Fushan rocks, which is very convenient for cargo transportation.

Walking along the rocky road surface to the water city, two streets, east and north and south, were built as usual in the city. Only rows of buildings were built near the South Street in the city, and these buildings were mainly barracks of naval officers and soldiers.

At this time, the water city, named Fushan Military Port by Feng Jian, had been taken over by the Zhenshan Camp Logistics Force.

The Zhenshan Camp logistics unit currently has 5,000 soldiers, most of which are young and strong people from various parodies who failed to be selected by Zhenshan Camp. If they are trained according to regular training, this will also be an elite army.

According to Feng's instructions, the main responsibility of the logistics troops during wartime was to maintain weapons and armor, transport food and grass, feed and take care of war horses and other logistics support tasks for the regular army of Zhenshan Camp. They were usually responsible for the construction of some important facilities of Zhenshan Camp and protect the important military facilities of Zhenshan Camp.

In later generations, the logistics troops still bear the responsibilities of engineers, and half of the construction tasks of Fushan Military Port are completed by the logistics troops.

This logistics force also has food, salary and benefits, but it is only half of the soldiers of Zhenshan Camp. The logistics force can build various facilities and get a certain amount of food and salary reward after the end. Therefore, the logistics force is very active in building the Zhenshan Camp facilities.

The head of this army was Huang Fuchun. Because he was good at logistics support, he was appointed as the logistics force battalion officer by Prosecutor Feng. The logistics force also established a supervisor, recommended by Zheng Qing, the general supervisor of Zhenshan Camp. Prosecutor Feng agreed that Hu Dake, the former commander of Daqingfeng, would be the supervisor of the logistics force. In short, as the reserve army of Zhenshan Camp, all military regulations and systems of the logistics force were implemented in the form of the regular army of Zhenshan Camp.

On the walls of the three city gates in the east, west and north of Fushan Military Port, there were logistics soldiers on duty standing straight. There was no village within ten miles of the three city gates in the east, west and north. There was only a simple dirt road entering and leaving the three city gates.

The establishment of Fushan Military Port has been approved by Li Kuiwei, the commander of Aoshan Guard, and has been registered, so it will not attract the attention of the government. In recent days, many businesses and ordinary people have requested to move into the Shuicheng, but of course they were rejected.

The hundreds of ships that are about to evacuate from the Dengzhou Navy will be stationed in Fushan Military Port. To keep it as confidential as possible, Fushan Military Port will not accept outsiders now.

On the day the construction of the Fushan Military Port was completed, Huang Fuchun immediately ordered the Zhenshan Camp logistics troops to enter the garrison, blocking all those who attempt to enter the Fushan Military Port.

The blocked small businessmen and ordinary people gathered outside the Fushan Military Port City. Many people began to set up stalls to trade with each other in exchange for their own income, which was quite a bit like staying here for a long time.

The bitter sea breeze blew on human faces like a knife cutting. At this time, several figures stood on the military port pier, looking into the sea from afar.

Huang Fuchun said to Xu Yannian beside him: "Mr. Xu Qian, the weather is so cold. If Dengzhou Water City is frozen, how should all the ships leave?"

Xu Yannian, Huang Fuchun, Jiao Keli and others were all core figures in Zhenshan Camp. They knew Feng Jian’s plan to hijack the ship, but they were not clear about the current situation in Dengzhou Water City, so they were naturally worried about the commander and others.

Xu Yannian, who was strong, sighed long and exhaled with a breath of heat, and felt very anxious inside.

According to the information, after the Dengzhou defenders were defeated and retreated to the city, they began to confront the rebels, and the situation might change at any time. According to the commander, the Kong Youde rebels were likely to collude with the rebels in Dengzhou City, and within the next two days, they should join forces to capture Dengzhou City.

If the ships in Shuicheng are frozen, wouldn’t even be able to sail away from the Pingduzhou Xun Camp, what should the commander and more than 3,000 soldiers under his command be done?

Xu Yannian couldn't answer Huang Fuchun, and said to Jiao Keli, who was also looking at the sea beside him: "Have you ever heard of the news?"

Jiao Keli nodded and said helplessly: "Dengzhou City has not stopped intermittently in recent days. The outside of the city has been surrounded by Kong Youde's troops. The four gates of Dengzhou City are closed, and spies are not taken at night to detect the situation in the water city. According to previous experience, it is a foregone conclusion that Dengzhou Water City has frozen."

Huang Fuchun was very anxious: "God really deserves life, and I don't know what good advice the commander can do."

Xu Yannian said with a serious expression: "Our Zhenshan Camp must be prepared. If the commander is trapped in Dengzhou Water City, all the soldiers of our Zhenshan Camp will immediately kill to Dengzhou Water City to rescue the commander. Mr. Jiao Qian, if you don't collect at night, you must keep the delivery of the pigeons smooth and you can't miss the matter!"

Jiao Keli said: "The contact with Dengzhou City at night has not been interrupted for a moment!"

Huang Fuchun was quite straightforward and said anxiously: "Since he knew that the commander was trapped, he should immediately summon Zhao Shougang and Zhou Lu'er discussed the issue of sending troops to rescue the commander in Zhenshan Camp."

Jiao Keli touched his chin and beard and said, "If things are not done, the commander will definitely not take the risk of the safety of the three thousand soldiers. I will have a solution. We might as well wait patiently and take a step back ten thousand steps. Even if the commander is really trapped in Dengzhou Water City, with the 3,000 soldiers under his command and nearly 5,000 naval officers and soldiers of the Dengzhou Navy, it will be no problem to defend the water city for four or five days. With these four or five days, it will be enough for Zhenshan Camp to arrive and rescue the commander and his soldiers."

Huang Fuchun was still a little anxious, "What if the two sides fight, what if the navy soldiers in Dengzhou Shuicheng fled without fighting, or directly surrendered to the Kong Youde rebels?"

Jiao Keli didn't want to say anything casually, and smiled and said, "Don't you believe in the commander? With him, Kong Youde's rebellious soldiers would not want to break through the water city in a short time. The situation in Dengzhou City is subtle, and Dengzhou City will fall into the hands of the rebellious soldiers at any time. Let's follow the commander's words and follow their own affairs!"

Xu Yannian recalled Jiao Keli's words and felt that every sentence was reasonable. He and Huang Fuchun were worried about nothing. What kind of person is the commander? How could he fight a battle without confidence!

Huang Fuchun sighed: "Among us, there are many people who are concerned about it. As you say, it feels really the case. We should act as the commander told us before."

On the ninth day of the first lunar month of the fifth year of Chongzhen, it was already the time to light the lights. In Feng Jian’s cabin in Shuicheng, Dengzhou, seven or eight people made the cabin narrow and crowded.

Cheng Yousheng glanced at Niu Liang, Zhan Yuan, Lan Zhengji and the other two. He had just returned from the north gate of Shuicheng, and his expression seemed quite excited: "Commander, the Shuimen City Wall and the Shuimen Winch are completely controlled by the brothers in the personal guard camp. I have ordered my brothers to smash the ice at the iron gate, and all warships can leave at any time."

Feng Jian pointed his hand at the direction of Dengzhou City and said, "Now it depends on Kong Youde, when will Li Jiucheng take action to capture Dengzhou City, when will the rebels capture Dengzhou City, and when will we start to take action."
