Cheng Yousheng did not realize that Feng Jian's words meant anything. He rubbed his nose and said, "Xu Yannian, Zhao Shougang, Chen Xiaoshan and others are the pillars of Zhenshan Camp, so there is no need to consider it. Zhuang Yingchang and Zhang Wentai are familiar with the navy's combat navigation, but after all, it was too short to join in, and he really didn't think of a suitable candidate for a while."

Seeing Feng Jianzheng looking at him with a playful look, he immediately realized that the commander had a suitable candidate in his heart, and this was just considering himself.

Feng Jian smiled and said, "You said a lot, but you missed one person. The commander saw that this person was the suitable battalion officer for the future Navy Camp!"

Cheng Yousheng rubbed his nose and said, "Who has you missed?"

Feng Jian pointed at Cheng Yousheng and said, "I have counted others, but I have forgotten you!"

Cheng Yousheng thought about it, and not only did not have any joy on his face, but said with a sad face: "Commander, what did the villain do wrong? You should beat and scold, just don't let the villain leave you!"

Feng Jian was a little moved, "Cheng Zi, it's not about driving you away. You have been following me for more than a year and have become my right-hand assistant. This is obvious to all. Many things cannot be understood by others, but you can do it well for me. Now our Huluyan is developing rapidly and there is a lack of useful personnel in all aspects. The Navy Camp is crucial to our future development. Therefore, I need to send a confidant as the camp official, and you are the most suitable candidate, which will be of great help to your future development."

Feng Jian’s words should have been heart-warming. Cheng Yousheng could naturally tell them and was moved. He said with a choking voice: “But… the villain really wants to stay by your side to serve…”

Feng Jian interrupted him with a wave of his hand and said, "You can just have a clear idea in your mind. The icebreaking operation is about to begin. Let's get the warship first!"

Suddenly, Huang Jinjiang, a personal soldier outside the cabin, leaned out of the cabin. Feng Jian asked, "Jinjiang, what's wrong?" "Report to the commander, the ship went down to the coastal defense, and came to pass the order, ordering all the officers and soldiers of the navy to go to the south gate of the water city to accept the dispatch immediately. If they disobey the order, there will be sanctions on the court afterwards."

Feng Jian curled his lips and said contemptuously: "Listen to the orders of this Haifangdao, it is obvious that he lacks confidence. Whether he can save his life or not is a matter of time. There is still something afterwards!" He instructed Huang Jinjiang and said: "Don't pay attention to him, see how he can do to me."

"Yes, the villain saw that most of the warships in the Navy camp were on lights outside the cabin, and the officers and soldiers on the ship were disembarking one after another."

Feng Jian waved his hand and said, "Let's take a look outside the cabin." He turned around and picked up the Japanese knife with him and walked towards the outside cabin. Cheng Yousheng and Huang Jinjiang hurriedly followed closely.

When I arrived on the deck of the warship, the shouts of killing in Dengzhou City on the south were more clearly heard, and I could also see bursts of fire coming out on the east side of Dengzhou City.

The officers and soldiers on various warships in the Navy Battalion were disembarking one after another. In the light of the fire, many officers and soldiers were not even dressed in uniform and gathered under the warships in a mess.

The chaos in Dengzhou City prompted the officials of all sizes and big and small to take action urgently. Dengzhou naval army Tang Guardian was ordered by the Lord Daowang of Haidang. He kept urging the officers and soldiers of various warships to speed up their actions and go to the south gate of the Shuicheng as soon as possible to strengthen defense.

The Tang Governor stood on the shore and saw that the ten warships in Zhouxun Camp were brightly lit, but the ship was quiet. The officers and soldiers on the warship had no intention of participating in the city wall defense.

The Tang Guard looked at the messy naval officers and soldiers on the shore, waved impatiently to a guard of his subordinates and ordered: "You go again to send an order to the guards of Xun Camp in Pingdu Prefecture. Ask him why the officers and soldiers of Xun Camp in his prefecture have not yet got off the ship and gathered. Do you want to disobey the order?"

This personal guard, Tang Guardian, was naturally a confidant. He walked up and walked: "Mr. Guardian, now the war is in chaos. Dengzhou City is now captured by Kong Youde's soldiers. It is time for people to be in a panic. Pingduzhou Xun Camp is not under the jurisdiction of our navy. If you disobey orders, you will not go to defend the water city. You will have to punish the Daowang of Haidang. It is better to have less trouble than more trouble. Why do you have to offend people out of thin air!"

Shouting Tang twisted his fat waist and looked at the warships of the Pingduzhou Xun Camp for a while, and said a little unwillingly: "All the navy officers and soldiers will go to guard the city, but this Pingduzhou Xun Camp is special! Well, let these people be free for a few days first, and wait until Kong Youde's rebellious soldiers are driven out of Dengzhou, and then argue with these people."

Feng Jian stood at the bow of the Fu Ship, following several personal guards such as Cheng Yousheng and Huang Jinjiang. Due to different angles, standing on the ship, you can clearly see the actions of the people on the shore. Feng Jian and others saw the actions of the Tang guard of Dengzhou Camp.

Cheng Yousheng curled his lips and said disdainfully, "What's the matter with us Pingdu Navy? We're actually pointing fingers. When has it been? The dog officer of this Navy is still showing off his power!"

Huang Jinjiang agreed with Cheng Yousheng and said, "Yes, this dog official is really going to come and act arrogantly. I will kill him with one knife."

Feng Jian frowned and stared at the direction where the guards Tang and his personal guards left, and said, "It seems that the guard is anxious. I don't know how Niu Liang and the other two sent the other party away."

Cheng Yousheng said: "I think these three people are all slick people. As long as you give enough benefits to a greedy person like Tang Shoubei, it should not be difficult to achieve your goal."

Feng Jian stared at the figure of Tang Shoujie and said, "I am not worried about whether Niu Liang and the other two can deal with this Tang Shoujie, but I think that if this Tang Shoujie stayed in Shuicheng and refused to leave, it would have a great impact on our upcoming plan."

Shen Xiaoshan said: "What's the matter? If this Tang Shoujie really stayed in the Navy camp, I would take my personal guards to kill this bastard. Anyway, no one can find out anything in the chaos!"

On the 10th day of the first lunar month of the fifth year of Chongzhen, the sky was almost bright. The guns and shouts of killing from Dengzhou City shook for several miles, and bursts of smoke rose from the city.

The officers and soldiers of Dengzhou Navy finally rushed to the top of the Shuicheng to participate in the city wall defense during the strict inspection of the Tang Dynasty.

In a room in the south gate of Shuicheng, Wang Hui of Dengzhou Haifang Road sat in the middle of the house with anxiety on his face and listened to the water city garrison telling the city defense situation. There were also a joint magistrate of the Haifang Road Office in the room. After that, the water city water army garrison officers, the city gate garrison officers and other important officials in Shuicheng.

Wang Hui's actual official position was Denglai, the deputy chief of the Shandong Provincial Administration, and was a civil servant of the fourth rank. Wang Zheng and Denglai Governor Sun Yuanhua were fellow believers, and were proficient in Western learning of Western tools. Unlike Sun Yuanhua, he specialized in making firearms and cannons. He had a profound study of Western mechanical manufacturing.

When Sun Yuanhua became the governor of Denglai, Wang Hui gave up the high-ranking officials given to the court and went to Dengzhou to work with him at the invitation of Sun Yuanhua, a church member.

Sun Yuanhua was naturally very happy to see this like-minded church member coming. When they were together, they could discuss the doctrines and experiences of Western artifacts.

So he submitted a memorial to the court to appoint Wang Hui as the Dengzhou Military Supervisor Road to supervise the Dengzhou Navy. The official office was located in the Water City. Because it was in charge of the food and pay of the navy officers and soldiers, warship supplies, and the navy's maritime defense, the navy officers and soldiers were usually called the sea defense road.

This is definitely an official position with real power and good fortune. Most people can't get it for money. Wang Hui is so good. Because he is addicted to Western learning all day long, he is not concerned about his official position and gives most of the matter to his subordinates. He rarely cares about it, so he turns the Dengzhou Navy into a situation where he gets a stake.

At first, Kong Youde's rebellious troops besieged Dengzhou City, and Wang Hui sneered. He didn't believe that Kong Youde's only a few thousand rebellious troops could capture Dengzhou City.

When Zhang Keda learned that Zhang Tao led his troops outside the city to be defeated by Kong Youde's rebellion soldiers, the Liao soldiers under Zhang Tao all joined the rebellion soldiers, they became nervous and directly ordered the transfer of some naval officers and soldiers to help defend the Shuicheng City Wall.

At night today, I suddenly heard a burst of shouts of killing from Dengzhou City. When I heard my personal guards report that Dengzhou City might have been captured by Kong Youde and Li Jiucheng's rebels. The first thing I thought of was to worry about the safety of his fellow parishman Sun Yuanhua. Sun Yuanhua strongly advocated recruiting Kong Youde's rebels outside the city. Who would have thought that the rebels had the ability to directly capture Dengzhou City!

At the same time, the order was immediately ordered to guard the Dengzhou Navy, and all the officers and soldiers of the Navy must go to the Water City to assist in the defense.

Dengzhou Water City Guardian was born in a local and spoke in local dialect. Wang Hui and other foreigners had to listen carefully to their meanings. Therefore, the Water City Guardian tried to slow down his speech as much as possible: "Sir, the distance between the Shuicheng Zhenyang Gate and the Dengzhou City Zhenhai Gate is three or four miles away. There is a Mishui River that runs through the city from Dengzhou City."

"If Kong Youde's troops want to attack Shuicheng, they must first pass the connecting bridge between the two cities. There are two red artillery cannons fixed on the walls of Zhenyangmen in our Shuicheng, and the Folang cannons fixed on the walls on the east and west sides."

"There are special gunners among our navy officers and soldiers. If Kong Youde's rebel soldiers attacked Shuicheng from the direction of Zhenyangmen, the Shuicheng city walls would directly aim at the connecting bridge to bombard the enemy, and it would be difficult for the rebel soldiers to approach our Shuicheng."

Wang Hui said: "Fang Guard means that as long as there are red barbarian cannons, Kong Youde's rebellious soldiers will not be able to capture the water city even if they occupy Dengzhou City?"

The Fang Shoujie said: "Bizhi just said that when Kong Youde's rebellion soldiers did not use artillery, they could not capture the water city. Don't forget that there are also two red general cannons placed on the Zhenhai Gate wall of Dengzhou City. Once someone in Kong Youde's rebellion knows how to fire the general cannon and directly bombard the general cannons on the water city wall, the situation will become out of control!"

Wang Hui was a little confused and asked, "Since our Red Barbarian General can curb the chaos and cannot pass the connecting bridge, it would be okay even if the opponent's Red Barbarian cannon bombarded the Water City?"

The navy Tang guards beside him bowed to Wang Hui and said, "Sir, if we fire one piece of ammunition, we will have one less ammunition. If Kong Youde soldiers capture Dengzhou City, they will have the arsenal. The ammunition reserves of our red cannons are stored in the Dengzhou Arsenal, so we cannot fire for a long time, but Kong Youde soldiers can bombard the city walls of the water city as much as possible."

When Wang Hui heard this, his face looked ugly and said anxiously: "What should we do? Can so many people in our Shuicheng have to stare at Kong Youde and let Kong Youde hit in!"
