The current governor of Dengzhou, Yuan Weitai, is the nephew of the former governor of Denglai, Yuan Keli.
Since the new king succeeded to the throne and recovered Shandong, he has been appointed as the magistrate of Dengzhou.
Dengzhou and Laizhou are both adjacent to the sea, so Yuan Keli chose to build the navy here.
It's just that after Yuan Keli was impeached and resigned, no one could train Denglai Navy well.
By the end of Chongzhen's reign, the Denglai Navy existed in name only.
Yuan Weitai was not only Yuan Keli's nephew, but also a believer in his naval tactics.
In Yuan Weitai's view, if he wants to eliminate the troubles of the Eastern captives, he must rely on the navy.
And Denglai is the most suitable place to establish a navy.
Although the imperial court currently does not have enough ships to establish a navy, it must have this ambition.
I heard that His Majesty has rebuilt the Longjiang Shipyard, which is a good thing.
Considering the wealth in the south of the Yangtze River and concentrating silver for shipbuilding, there would be no problem in raising a navy.
Of course, Yuan Weitai is no better than Yuan Keli back then.
He was just a small prefect of Dengzhou, and he spoke softly.
It was impossible to offer advice directly to the emperor.
He could only hope that the emperor would remember the good deeds of the Denglai Navy.
That day, Yuan Weitai handled official duties until late at night as usual, and was about to take a rest when he heard the butler report: "Master, there is a man outside the government office who claims to be the Military Intelligence Department of the Inner Factory asking to see him.
Look."
After hearing the words "Inner Factory Military Intelligence Department", Yuan Weitai felt no sleepiness at all and said hurriedly: "Invite people to the flower hall quickly."
Yuan Weitai also heard about His Majesty the Emperor's restoration of the inner factory.
This time, the internal factory was not only rebuilt, but also a Military Intelligence Department was added, specifically for the collection of military intelligence outside Nanjing.
Fanzi from the Military Intelligence Department comes and goes without a trace, even more erratic than Dongchang and Jinyiwei fans, making it difficult for ordinary people to encounter them.
Now there is actually a person who claims to be the fan of the Military Intelligence Department of the inner factory, and he takes the initiative to see him.
It seems that something big is going on.
Yuan Weitai knew that the head of the Military Intelligence Department of the inner factory was directly responsible to the emperor.
The reports they wrote could reach heaven directly.
Yuan Weitai didn't dare to neglect, straightened his robe a little and hurried towards the flower hall.
Yuan Weitai entered the flower hall and saw a man who looked like a junior high school student sitting on an official chair.
He quickly raised his hands and said, "I am Yuan Weitai, the prefect of Dengzhou.
I wonder if the angel has something important to tell you."
How to call the fans of the Military Intelligence Department is also a headache.
Yuan Weitai thought about it and felt that the officers of the Military Intelligence Department were all working for the emperor, and to a certain extent they could be called angels.
"I don't dare to take it seriously.
A certain family is just a rough guy.
He disturbed Mr.
Yuan's rest today.
He really has something important to report."
Na Fanzi hugged Yuan Weitai's fists, and then said: "Please Yuan Fuzun, please step aside."
Yuan Weitai knew that the matter was of great importance, so he asked the maids who were bringing water and tea to leave, and then he said harmoniously: "Angel, please speak."
Na Fanzi cleared his throat and said: "A certain family came here to tell Yuan Fuzun that the two thieves Liu Liangzuo and Liu Zeqing have led the rebels to attack Dengzhou."
Yuan Weitai was shocked when he heard this: "This is true."
Na Fanzi sneered and said: "It seems that Yuan Fuzun doesn't trust so-and-so.
Anyway, this is someone's card.
Please ask Yuan Fuzun to check it."
After saying that, he handed the jade medal at his waist to Yuan Weitai.
Yuan Weitai's face turned red and he waved his hands repeatedly: "That's not what I meant."

But he hesitated again and again and took the badge to check.
The matter was too important for him not to treat it cautiously.
Although he had never seen Fanzi's waist badge from the Military Intelligence Department of the Inner Factory, he had seen Jin Yiwei's.
The two were very similar, and Yuan Weitai only took one look and concluded that this person must be the inner factory fanzi.
"If I don't understand something, please ask an angel to enlighten me."
Now that he has determined that there is no problem with the other party's identity, Yuan Weitai naturally has to confirm the authenticity of this information.
Na Fanzi nodded: "Master Yuan, please speak."
Yuan Weitai cleared his throat and said, "Aren't Liu Liangzuo and Liu Zeqing besieging Jining Prefecture?
Why did they suddenly attack Deng Prefecture?"
"Yuan Fuzun's information was too limited.
Although the two thieves initially intended to attack Jining, they turned around and headed for Dengzhou after being frustrated.
A certain family found their traces in Hongluo Bay not far away.
It seems that they are I want to escape through the sea.”
Yuan Weitai was shocked when he heard this.
Isn't this the same way Kong Youde took to escape across the sea?
"If so, what should we do?"
Yuan Weitai was terrified.
Nowadays, Dengzhou is basically an empty city with not many troops stationed at all.
Although the rebels of Liu Liangzuo and Liu Zeqing suffered some losses, they numbered at least tens of thousands.
What does Yuan Weitai rely on to defend the city?
If he could not defend Dengzhou City, he would be the next Sun Yuanhua.
He would have to wash his neck and wait for the Jin Yiwei to come and arrest him, and escort him to Nanjing to be decapitated.
"Angel save me" In Yuan Weitai's view, the military intelligence department fanzi in front of him was a life-saving straw.
Naturally, he could not miss this opportunity as he was about to drown.
"Master Yuan, don't panic.
The Erliu rebels are coming fiercely, but they are not rushing to capture Dengzhou.
This is very different from Kong Youde's rebellion back then."
Fanzi from the Military Intelligence Department's words made Yuan Weitai's eyes light up.
Yes, Liu Liangzuo and Liu Zeqing had no intention of coming to Dengzhou from the beginning.
The reason why I was forced to choose this place is because Dengzhou is close to the sea and can escape by sea.
From the perspective of Liu Zeqing and Liu Liangzuo, they must be in a panic now.
The imperial court has sent Huang De's troops to pursue them.
If they can't escape from the sea as soon as possible, they will probably be attacked by Huang Degong's troops and the Shence Army to death without a burial place.
In this case, Liu Liangzuo and Liu Zeqing would certainly not waste time attacking Dengzhou.
"The angel means"
"What Yuan Fuzun has to do is to hold back the two thieves.
And the best way to hold them back is to burn down all the fishing boats."
"this" Yuan Weitai couldn't help but frowned when he heard this.
"I'm afraid something is wrong."
The Denglai Navy no longer exists, so there is no need to worry about Er Liu seizing the warship.
But the fishing boat is beyond Yuan Weitai's control.
First of all, these boats are owned by fishermen.
If Yuan Weitai sends people to burn them by force, he will probably be stabbed in the back and scolded.
Secondly, if Liu Zeqing and Liu Liangzuo are really desperate to attack Dengzhou if they send their only manpower to burn the ships, then he will really have no choice but to hang himself.
Seeing Yuan Weitai's hesitation, Fanzi from the Military Intelligence Department said coldly: "Master Yuan, don't think that you won't be punished if you don't lose the imperial court if you go to the state.

It is also a serious crime to allow the rebels to escape across the sea."
Yuan Weitai's heart dropped when he heard this.
Yes, Liu Liangzuo and Liu Zeqing ignored the emperor's grace and openly launched a rebellion, which was a provocation to the authority of the imperial court.
Under such circumstances, the emperor naturally could not allow the rebels to escape.
As the prefect of Dengzhou, if Yuan Weitai did nothing when he clearly had the opportunity to prevent the rebels from escaping, he would not be able to escape the charge of dereliction of duty
