Chapter 239: Rebellion

Guo Zhiyuan hurriedly asked Li Jin and the sailors to dock to rest, not to repair the rudder and other facilities damaged by the typhoon, if they encountered a storm again, they could really only wait for death, and the regimental training township soldiers were very weak, if they did not go ashore to rest, it is estimated that there will be attrition.

And Guo Zhiyuan had a bad premonition, they didn't even encounter a passing ship along the way, there must have been some accident that he didn't know about, so he had to hurry up and let the regimental training villagers recover, so that they would have the strength to fight in case of emergencies!

The area of the small desert island is not large, Guo Zhiyuan asked people to go up to investigate first, there was no fresh water source found on the island, no wonder no one lived, fortunately, Guo Zhiyuan was fully prepared before their trip, there was no shortage of fresh water and food on the Fu boat, the investigators found two dry caves on the desert island, Guo Zhiyuan asked the regimental training villagers to transfer the soldiers to the cave to recuperate, Li Jin commanded the sailors to build a stove on the beach to boil porridge, they all ate the dry food on the boat in the past two days, and now everyone is very weak, drinking porridge is more conducive to their physical recovery.

In this way, he rested on the desert island for three days, the physical fitness of the regimental training township soldiers was better than ordinary people, and they slowly recovered after three days of recuperation, and the rudder and other facilities damaged by the typhoon on the ship were also repaired, Guo Zhiyuan then ordered to board the ship and continue sailing, he promised the people sent by Xu Xueju to rush to Zhangzhou Mansion within three days to take office, and was delayed by this typhoon.

Guo Zhiyuan They don't know where they are now, so they can only judge the general direction according to the compass, fortunately, it is close to the inland here, as long as the route is in one direction, they should be able to see the land soon, as long as they land and ask someone, they will know where they are.

Sure enough, after they sailed on the sea for most of the day, they saw the land, and everyone cheered, Li Jin deserved to be an old sea wolf, looked around the terrain, and said to Guo Zhiyuan excitedly: "My lord, we should have arrived in Zhangpu County, I have been here once......"

Guo Zhiyuan was also relieved when he heard it, Zhangpu County also belongs to the jurisdiction of Zhangzhou Mansion, it seems that they are not too far away, from Zhangpu County to Zhangzhou Mansion is only a few dozen kilometers, he will be able to rush to Zhangzhou Mansion tomorrow at the latest, although it has been delayed for a few days, but after all, there is a reason for it, and it is not easy to find his fault if you want to come to Xu Xueju.

After the lucky boat docked, the regimental training villagers rushed to get off the boat, and one by one they moved their hands and feet happily, and it felt good to stand on land! Guo Zhiyuan looked at the rejuvenated regimental training township soldiers and was also secretly funny, these guys are fierce on land, and they will all become soft-footed shrimp at sea, it seems that if they want to establish their power on the sea, they have to re-establish a strong navy, and it is not a problem to form a naval force, and it is not a problem to form a naval source, there are many fishermen who rely on the sea to eat along the coast of Fujian, as long as the treatment is good enough, they will soon be able to recruit a suitable source of soldiers, the key is that Guo Zhiyuan does not have a suitable naval general at hand, and the navy tests the command level of the leading generals more than the army, The only suitable candidate Guo Zhiyuan can think of is Shen Yourong, from Shen Yourong's attitude when he met Shen Yourong for the first time on Penghu Island, Guo Zhiyuan is afraid that it will not be so easy to recruit this famous peerless general!

And the strange relationship between Shen Yourong and Shen Junrong is also a big obstacle, looking at the performance of Shen Yourong and Shen Junrong when they met that day, there must be an unbreakable knot between the father and daughter, this knot is not untied, Guo Zhiyuan wants to attract the father and daughter at the same time It is impossible, the key is that Guo Zhiyuan is not easy to ask, looking at Shen Junrong's resolute attitude, Guo Zhiyuan wants to ask, Shen Junrong will most likely turn his face with him on the spot.

Thinking of this, Guo Zhiyuan couldn't help but shake his head, he really thought too much, now that he was overshadowed by Xu Xueju, he lost the opportunity to be independent, and his plan to form his own maritime forces was also disrupted, and now he still thinks more about how to deal with the inevitable suppression of his boss Shen Yizhong, and it is more reliable to gain a firm foothold in Zhangzhou Mansion.

At this time, Li Jin walked over, pointed to a cliff in the distance and said: "My lord, I remember that there is a small fishing village over the cliff over there, let's go over and see if there is a carriage or something in the village, so it is closer to Zhangzhou Mansion by land......"

Guo Zhiyuan nodded and said, "I also have this intention, so let's go and have a look......

Originally, Guo Zhiyuan didn't need to go to this kind of thing in person, but he was about to take up the post of Zhangzhou General Judge, and Zhangpu County also belonged to his jurisdiction, so he also wanted to understand the people's feelings, so he could enter the role in advance.

Guo Zhiyuan didn't want to disturb the people of the fishing village, so he only took Li Jin, Fa Zheng, Zhang Cheng and Chu Wan'er to the fishing village to inspect the situation.

Because they didn't want to disturb the people, Guo Zhiyuan and they were all wearing civilian clothes, and the folk customs were still quite simple at this time, and when the fishermen saw them, they waved anxiously at them and shouted: "Run!" Come on! The rebels are coming! ……”

Rebels?! Guo Zhiyuan was stunned when he heard it, although the national strength of the Ming Dynasty at this time has been declining, but on the whole it is still relatively peaceful, unlike the war everywhere in the last years of Chongzhen, there are rebellious soldiers and displaced people everywhere, where did the rebellious soldiers come from at this time? He hurriedly stopped a young fisherman running at the front and asked, "This little brother, what happened?" Where did the rebels come from? ……”

"I don't know where the rebels came from, they burned houses, robbed things, and killed people when they entered the village! Run, too, if you don't run, you'll die! ......," the young fisherman said breathlessly, and ran away in a panic.

Guo Zhiyuan chuckled in his heart, burning houses, robbing things, and killing people, it seems that the situation is indeed more serious, and he didn't stop the fishermen who fled in panic, because he knew that it was difficult to ask for specific information from them, and the top priority was to stop the rebels from killing people as soon as possible, and now the situation is unknown, he didn't even know how many rebels there were, so he didn't dare to be careless, and hurriedly arranged: "Li Jin, you hurry up and call someone, and the others will go with me to check the situation first!" ……”

Li Jin also knew that the situation was serious, so he hurriedly went to inform the regimental training villagers to rush to support, while Guo Zhiyuan took Chu Wan'er and them to the fishing village quickly, and met several waves of fleeing fishermen on the way, and the situation they asked was similar to that of the young fishermen before, only knowing that it was a rebellion, and it was not even clear how many rebels there were.
