Chapter 287: Rebellion
Captain Shen, who surrendered, did not play tricks, he answered any questions from Huang Yong truthfully, and emphasized that the request was to inform the Shen family in Laizhou, and the Shen family would definitely take out the silver to redeem the detained ship and goods.
Who is Geng Zhongyu, who is in collusion with Jiannu, Huang Yong is not very clear, whether to notify the Shen family to ransom people, Huang Yong does not dare to be arbitrary.
He sent the old lock ship with a displacement of 300 tons to sail back with full sails, and tried to hand over the prisoner to his brother as soon as possible, and he took two old lock ships to drag the wounded No. 3 Fu ship back to port.
It was too easy to notice the two oddly shaped ships dragging a straw skimming ship with a broken main and auxiliary mast on the Liaohai Sea, where ships were constantly coming and going, and it didn't take long for the news to reach Liaodong through merchant sailors, and Phi Dao also learned the news.
Hearing that Jiannu Xizuo had been captured, Huang Han immediately personally interrogated the prisoners, there were a total of thirteen traitors, and only six or seven were killed and wounded by artillery fire, and half of them were captured alive.
Huang Han was impatient to grind his teeth with the traitor captive, and during the interrogation, he killed people and established his authority, and the two living souls left behind were frightened away, and he knew everything when he confessed his crimes.
After only about two hours of interrogation, Huang Han obtained information that Geng Zhongyu was preparing to rebel against the Ming Dynasty and surrender to Jiannu and recorded his confession.
He quickly ordered Gao Youmou to secretly escort two captives with money rat tails with money and rat tails overnight, and sent them to the military department with confessions and the heads of third-level real slaves and eleventh-level traitors, and wrote a document to ask for merit for Huang Yong.
Xiong Mingyu, the current secretary of the Ministry of War, has no friendship with Huang Han, so Huang Han sent it to the Ministry of War to report and promote Huang Yong to the fourth grade of Funing Wei to sign the official document of the general manager of the water camp has not been approved so far, and it has been issued with a seal.
Gao Youmou received the task of going to Jingshi, and he knew that this was Huang Han's intention to promote himself.
He took his family to change horses all the way and galloped, and on the day he came to the capital, he found several Langzhong, Wailang and the chief who served in the military department.
There are acquaintances who are easy to do, and on the same day, the secretary of the military department met with Gao Youmou, saw Huang Han's official document and personally interrogated the prisoner.
Of course, it is a big deal that someone in Dongjiang Town rebelled, and Xiong Mingyu did not dare to delay for a moment after verifying the situation, and immediately asked to see the Son of Heaven to report this emergency.
Early the next morning, 600 li was urgently sent out in the capital, and the content was to order Sun Yuanhua to send troops to contact Huang Long, the chief military officer of Dongjiang Town, to quickly arrest the rebel generals Geng Zhongyu, Li Mei, Wang Yingyuan and other traitors.
The unstable hearts of the people in Dongjiang Town have been the consensus of the imperial court, and the emperor thought of Jin Sheng, a scholar who was willing to serve in front of the army, and immediately promoted him to the first level to the rank of the sixth rank of the Hanlin Academy, and went to Phi Island to supervise the army as the imperial historian.
Jin Sheng received the holy decree without saying a word and galloped all the way to Denglai, he knew that Geng Zhongyu was ready to judge the surrender of Jiannu, and thought that he could arrive in time to fight for going to Phi Island with Denglai's rebels.
Gao Youmou, who came to Beijing to carry out the activities, really got benefits, and he was promoted to the general of the Yongping Reinforcement Battalion with the supervision of the Seven Grades of Imperial History, and still did not leave the "Red Banner Army".
This is Lao Gaodi's plan, he thinks that the chaotic days of the Ming soldiers will continue, the generals with the male soldiers in hand will have a bright future, and his son will be more likely to get the opportunity to be promoted with Huang Han.
With the connections of the Gao family, Gao Youmou has mixed up to the seventh grade, and he is completely able to move to the real shortage of a county magistrate, become a parent official, scrape the ground, and get bribes are all in it.
After all, Gao Di is a retired high-ranking official, with a long-term vision, and he doesn't care about whether his son makes money at all, but cares about his son's way out.
The imperial court does not need to give real awards, only to the void, of course, it is happy to see it, and within a few days, the holy decree drafted by the cabinet was issued, and it is self-evident that Gao Youmou will be promoted to higher officials.
Huang Yong was meritorious in arresting spies, and his appointment was finally issued together with Gao Youmou's reward, Huang Yong's actual grant of water camp has not changed, and he has been promoted to become a commander from Sanpin Fu Ningwei, and finally became a general.
Huang Han was not worried about the efficiency of the imperial court, and after sending Gao Youmou to Beijing, he always felt unsure, and finally decided to personally form a fleet and set off on a trip to Phi Dao.
Huang Yong had to tow the straw skimming ship back to the sea, so he returned to his home port two days later than the old lock ship with a displacement of 300 tons.
On the third day, Huang Han, who was fully prepared, selected the infantry to go to sea, and he took the two old lock boats that had just been launched and the three that had completed the sea trials, and brought all the ships with a displacement of more than 100 tons in the water camp.
The cold-weapon infantry dispatched two hundred sword and shield men, pikemen, and infantry archers, and the hot-weapon infantry dispatched one chief bird and two general young soldiers, and the number of officers above 100 households in a company reached more than 1,700 sailors and gunners.
Huang Han wanted to rush to Phi Dao to assist Huang Long in arresting Geng Zhongyu, but it was useless to be anxious, there were too many uncertainties in navigation in this era, and the fleet had just approached the Liaohai Strait.
Yu Quanyou, a veteran sailor of the Ming Army who served for more than ten years, was promoted by Huang Han to the captain of a 300-ton old lock ship because of his rich experience and literacy.
Liaohai is the place where Yu Quanyou has been wandering for more than ten years, and his understanding of hydrology and meteorology is like a treasure, and when he saw the wind, he immediately raised a flag to ask to see the main general, and it didn't take long for Huang Han to see the old captain who came to the temporary flagship in a small boat.
Yu Quanyou believes that the wind will gradually increase, and it will reach the hurricane level tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, so he strongly urged the fleet to immediately enter the bay of Scorpion Island to take shelter from the wind.
The sixth, seventh, eighth, and ninth months of the lunar calendar are typhoon-prone solar terms, and Huang Han, as a modern person, certainly knows the stakes, and immediately agreed to enter the bay, and personally arranged the wind protection.
They were all wooden ships, and there was not much of a good way to do it, so they lowered the sails and lowered all the masts, dropped all the anchors, and then held the ship tightly with cables.
Each ship was suspended with a cushion of ramming, which was worthless, a stick of one foot five inches in diameter and three steps in length made of hemp rope and straw.
It's easier to fasten between ships and ships, and now dozens of ships are firmly spliced together to fight the coming storms.
After an hour, the fleet was ready, and the wind on the sea was getting stronger and stronger.
The sailors and gunners of the twenty-one ships plus the infantry brought by Huang Han had exceeded 2,000 people, and this time the stormy waves once again tested whether the selected infantry was suitable for navigation, and two adults were more uncomfortable and vomited so pale.
On the second day after Huang Han entered the bay to take shelter from the wind, Sun Yuanhua, the governor of Denglai, received a secret order from the imperial court to arrest the rebel generals, and he immediately sent Zhang Tao to take the men and horses to Phi Island, where Dongjiang Town was located, on the warship of the Denglai Naval Division.
However, when the hurricane passed through the Typhoon, the sailors were also unable to go to sea, so they had to make sufficient preparations and wait for the wind to subside before they could sail.
