Chapter 288: Counterinsurgency
The military operations of the Ming army have never been kept secret, and most of the generals under Zhang Tao's command are also the old troops of Dongjiang Town, and the news that they are going to sea to go to Phi Island to quell the rebellion was soon learned by Geng Zhongming.
Geng Zhongyu's little bit of, Geng Zhongming of course knew that Geng Zhongming had surrendered to Houjin in his early years, served as a low-level military attache in Jiannu, and later led the Liao people to defect to Phi Island to follow Mao Wenlong and get reused.
He was not only relied on as a confidant but also adopted by Mao Wenlong as an adopted grandson, given the name Mao Youjie, became a second-grade general, and was in charge of the finances of Dongjiang Town.
Mao Wenlong died unjustly, Dongjiang Town fell apart, Geng Zhongming lost his previous power, and now he is under the fence of hosts, of course, he is dissatisfied, and Geng Zhongyu's actions have actually been tacitly approved by Geng Zhongming.
When Geng Zhongming heard the news that the imperial court had ordered him to go to Phi Island to capture the rebel generals, he immediately realized that his brother's case had been committed.
He hurriedly dispatched his henchmen to drive a clipper to Phi Island at the risk of being buried in the sea.
After four days of shelter in the bay, the fleet led by Huang Han set sail again for the destination - Phi Island.
Huang Han actually didn't take Geng Zhongyu's rebellion seriously in his heart, because it is recorded in history that this kid bewitched his subordinates to besiege the General Military Office of Dongjiang Town, Phi Island, and arrested the Chief Military Officer in October this year.
Huang Long suffered a lot of crimes, and was broken by the rebellious Dongjiang soldiers and cut off his ears and nose, and the final result was that Shang Ke, the deputy general stationed in Guangludao, rushed back to Phi Island to suppress the mutiny after hearing the news, and the rebels were exterminated, and Geng Zhongyu, Li Mei and others were beheaded.
Without the firearms of the "Red Banner Army" rushing to Phi Island to help, Geng Zhongyu's rebellion was not able to set off a big wave, and with his own landing on the island with 1,000 or more infantry to annihilate the rebels that might appear, he should have been able to capture them.
Moreover, it was only late July, and it stands to reason that Geng Zhongyu's rebellion would not break out until about three months later, so it should be easier to capture him at this time as a precautionary measure.
Huang Han did not come empty-handed, and brought a pair of gold armor to Huang Long's private and 2,000 stone wheat to Dongjiang Town.
Huang Long, who had already been contacted by Huang Yong in advance, was very happy to learn that Huang Han, the chief general of the "Red Banner Army", had personally visited Phi Dao, and immediately rushed to the pier with his own army to greet him.
Geng Zhongyu decided to determine the surrender of Jiannu, and repeatedly negotiated the conditions with the liaison appointed by Jiannu, and he had already contacted many people, and the counter-judgment action entered the preparatory stage.
The Jiannu side agreed to send a Zhenghuang Banner Bashiku who could speak Chinese and two vests with a dozen Han soldiers to participate in the command and liaison, but at the appointed time, there was no grass skimming boat sent to Phi Island.
Two days later, Geng Zhongyu learned that three strange-looking warships that had come to visit the chief military officer Huang Long on Phi Island the day before yesterday had captured a smuggling boat.
Hearing this news, Geng Zhongyu, a traitor who wanted to betray the country, was unable to sit still, he was not sure that there was an envoy sent by Dajin Guo on that ship, and he could not deny whether it was a coincidence that the special envoy of Dajin Guo fell into the hands of the famous "Red Banner Army".
In the anxious waiting, Geng Zhongyu saw the family sent by his brother and learned that his case had been reported, and the Denglai sailor estimated that he was already on his way to Phi Dao.
The panicked Geng Zhongyu immediately contacted the officers above the rank of the general flag who were preparing for the rebellion to discuss the matter, and at this moment he heard that more than 20 ships had come to the sea, including the strange ship type that had been there last time.
It's coming so fast! Geng Zhongyu was shocked, and then the traitor bared his fangs and shouted: "Brothers, we old people in Dongjiang Town are trapped in this small place, and we can't even fill our stomachs every day.
The people brought by the chief military officer Huang Long ate cooking cakes every day, and Lao Tzu was fed up with such days, so he went to arrest Huang Long and asked for an explanation. ”
The rebels gathered more than 1,000 people and immediately surrounded the General Soldier's Mansion, and the gate of the General Soldier's Mansion, which was hurriedly closed in less than half an hour, was smashed open by the rebels.
Geng Zhongyu rushed in with a crowd of men and horses, they searched for Huang Long everywhere without success, and only after torturing several soldiers of the General Military Mansion did they know that Huang Long took more than 100 personal soldiers to the dock to pick up guests.
Damn! The beheading operation that was formulated failed due to bad luck, what should I do if I didn't catch the chief officer Huang Long?
Geng Zhongyu did not dare to announce at this time that the purpose of his rebellion was to surrender Jiannu, because most of the soldiers in Dongjiang Town had a deep enmity with Jiannu, and it was impossible to accept the fact of surrendering Jiannu until the last moment of life and death.
Li Mei, Wang Yingyuan and others led people to rummage through the cabinets in the General Military Mansion, and searched some gold, silver, soft and grain, Geng Zhongyu immediately let the soldiers involved in the rebellion divide it in order to invite people to buy people's hearts.
He took the opportunity to shout: "Brothers, our Dongjiang Town is too bitter, Mao Dashuai died too unjustly, today everyone worked together to occupy Phi Island and force the imperial court to pay for food and security." ”
Many Dongjiang soldiers shouted: "Take Phi Island and force the imperial court to pay food, brothers, rush to eat a full stomach!" ”
Huang Long, who came to the dock, found the fleet of ships waving red flags, and saw thousands of Ming soldiers lined up on the side of the boat, holding one hand as if they were saluting, and felt very fresh.
Immediately, he saw Huang Yong, whom he had met before, get off the boat and come with a few personal soldiers. The situation here is unknown, Huang Han did not get off the ship, and was ready to discuss with Huang Long on the boat to trap Geng Zhongyu, Wang Yingyuan, etc., and sent Huang Yong to invite Huang Long.
Huang Yong saw Huang Long and hurriedly bowed his hand and said, "Lord Commander, my family master will invite you to come to the flagship to meet you." ”
Huang Long said: "Brother of this family, this official has heard that the 'Red Flag Army' has been famous for a long time, and today General Huang Han can come to Phi Dao to welcome the official, and this official invites everyone to meet at the General Military Mansion." ”
Huang Yong hurriedly approached Huang Long and said in his ear: "My lord will learn that someone is going to be unfavorable to the adults, so he personally brought troops to help, and the adults also asked to get on the ship quickly to discuss the matter." ”
Huang Long was calm in his heart, so he didn't shirk at the moment, got on the temporary flagship that Huang Han was riding, and just came to the cabin to meet Huang Han, he heard the sound of killing coming from the island.
Huang Han hurriedly made a long story short, and told the secret envoy who captured Jiannu that Geng Zhongyu, Zhang Mei and others were preparing to launch a mutiny to join the enemy.
At this time, dozens of people rushed to the dock, and the leader was Fan Hualong, the old capital of Huanglong, who shouted: "My lord, my lord, Geng Zhongyu has rebelled, and the general military mansion has been besieged by thousands of people, and I am afraid that it has been lost at this time. ”
Huang Long was shocked, and hurriedly ran out of the cabin and shouted: "Brothers, don't panic, Fan Dusi quickly led everyone to form a formation."
The main general of the 'Red Banner Army', who had killed the Tartars and fled for thousands of miles, had already learned the news that Geng Zhongyu had colluded with Jiannu to plot a rebellion against the Ming Dynasty, and personally brought troops to reinforce him. ”
Huang Han saw that Phi Dao had fallen into chaos and ordered: "All the infantry went ashore to form a formation, everyone shouted slogans in unison to attack and advance, and those who dared not lay down their weapons were killed on the spot." ”
