Zhu Houwei just nodded when he heard this, he didn't take this dead prefect very seriously in his heart, even if he was rescued, he wouldn't be better. Zhu Houwei suddenly remembered something at this time and asked, "By the way, in addition to such a big thing in Dengzhou, why are you the only one who plays, why didn't Shandong prepare for the Japanese Division, Shandong Bingbeidao, and the governor of Shandong?" ”

Dengzhou is located in the easternmost part of Shandong, surrounded by the sea on three sides, and geographically closest to Japan, so a total of Dengzhou battalion, Wendeng battalion, Jimo battalion three battalions, in case of Japanese invaders, one side was attacked, and the other two rescues came to help. The position of the battalion in Daming is above the guard, and the three battalions have jurisdiction over all 24 guards in Shandong, namely the Mo battalion has jurisdiction over Andong Wei, Lingshanwei, Aoshanwei, Dasongwei, a total of four guards and six thousand households in Shijiu, Xiahe, Jiaozhou, Fushan, Xiongya, and Haiyang; Wendeng Camp has jurisdiction over Jinghaiwei, Chengshanwei, Weihaiwei, Ninghaiwei four guards and four thousand households; The Dengzhou battalion has jurisdiction over the three guards of Dengzhouwei, Laizhouwei, and Qingzhouwei and three thousand households.

The power seems to be very large, but in fact, there are many mothers-in-law above. For example, in this invasion of the Japanese invaders, according to the rules, the Dengzhou battalion should report to the Shandong Bei Wei Division and the Shandong Bing Bei Dao, these two parts are at the same level, but they are in charge of the three battalions. Then these two parts should be reported to the Shandong Metropolitan Command and Embassy, and then to the Governor's Office of the Five Armies.

But this time, the fastest twist turned out to be Liu Yushan, which made people wonder. Hearing Zhu Houwei mention this, looking at Liu Yushan, who was still a tough guy, he cried in a loud voice, "Lord Wang, don't you know, after the criminal minister reported this time, what he got was 'the enemy situation is unknown, the loss is not planned, and it must not be played indiscriminately', the military attache has not moved here, and the governor has not moved there, and the criminal minister has been in the officialdom for some years, and it can be seen that they are preparing to let the criminal minister and the commander of the Jimo battalion carry this black cauldron." The sinner will not be blind to death. Woowoo"

Zhu Houwei nodded lightly, he had muttered a little in his heart before, but now it seems that the high-level people in Shandong really don't use their brains. Since the founding of the country, I have never heard of any prefect, and officials like the prefect and county were caught by pirates, and they are still in the same pot. If this is known by the Ming Dynasty, all the officials in Shandong will not have good fruit to eat, at this time, as a military institution in Dengzhou, it is logical to come out and carry this black pot. Especially Liu Yushan, he also has the Dengzhou sailors of the Ming Dynasty under him, and Liu Yushan cannot escape the responsibility for dereliction of duty. When the time comes, let's say another sentence about the Dengzhou battalion, the Jimo battalion is not strong, greedy for life and afraid of death, and flees before fighting, the responsibility has been pushed by at least 99%, after all, the top commanders of the Dengzhou battalion and the Jimo battalion were all on the scene at that time, and there were also family guards, which could also represent the Dengzhou battalion and the Jimo battalion, and it was not false to flee before the battle. If he is a little more shameless, he writes that Liu Yushan is a liaison with the Japanese and deliberately lets the Japanese go ashore, aiming to kidnap officials and obtain money, then Liu Yushan will "go down in history".

Zhu Houwei listened to Liu Yushan's miserable story, was silent for a while, and said, "Anyway, if something so big happens in Dengzhou, you can't escape, at most, the punishment will be lighter and heavier, and no one will be able to protect you." Liu Yushan immediately kowtowed and said, "The criminal knows that he is guilty, and he just wants to prolong his life." ”

As a high-ranking official who is usually used to being a master, saying such words is enough to see how desperate he is in his heart. Zhu Houwei looked at him solemnly, and said slowly, "I need the Dengzhou Navy Division to cooperate with us, as for you, keep a close eye on the pirates living on the Shahe Estuary, raise funds to rescue the Dengzhou prefect, and after the people are rescued, mobilize the Dengzhou battalion horse infantry to surround the Haikou, if the Haikou go to sea by boat, there is no need to intercept them, but they must not be allowed to go to other places, it may be done?" Liu Yushan bowed down and replied: "The criminal is guaranteed with his life." “

Zhu Houwei nodded, led people out of the lobby, arrived at the dock, anchored Yang Fan, a Dafu ship, two No. 2 Fu boats and the Longjiang, and went to the Dengzhou Sailor Camp - Changshan Island.

After entering the water village and showing Liu Yushan's warrant, he mobilized 2 sand boats, a No. 2 fortune boat and 200 sailors, and the remaining 400 people guarded the guard. After quickly eating some food, Zhu Houwei led the fleet to Daqin Island.

Daqin Island is located in the middle of the Bohai Sea estuary, 54 kilometers from the land to the north and 53 kilometers to the south. From Changshan Island, the Longjiang does not count, it only takes less than 4 hours.

With a total land area of 6.44 square kilometers and a coastline of 14.55 kilometers, the entire island looks like a key, large and wide in the north and narrow and long in the south. The vegetation on the island is dense, and the most common creatures are scorpions, which can often be seen in groups of three or five or even hundreds. There are no permanent residents on this island, and there are no fishing villages.

The fleet drove for 3 hours, and Daqin Island was already in sight. There are many people on the island today, and in the telescope observation, there should be less than 2,000 of them, and it is impossible to know how many of them are pirates.

The chosen landing place was in the middle of the eastern coastline of Daqin Island, where Zhu Yuan saw the pirate's fortune ship docked.

As the distance got closer, the sentry on the shore also spotted Zhu Houwei's fleet, and then lit the wolf smoke. Zhu Houwei frowned, and Wu Yiheng, who was standing next to him, said in a low voice, "Second Young Master, the pirates lit the wolf smoke, there should be an ambush around, don't be careless." Zhu Houwei nodded and said to Wu Yiheng, "Give the Chengzhi ship an order and ask him to take the 150 people on the No. 2 Fu boat ashore to rescue the prisoners." Let Zhu Yuan speed up and go around from the east to the north of Daqin Island to see if there are any pirates coming, and Li Dayong's ship will go around from the west. The others anchored 2 miles from the outlying islands and remained vigilant. ”

During the voyage of the sea boat, communication cannot rely on shouting, each boat is basically separated by more than 20 meters, and the shouting of several boats can not be heard no matter how loud it is, so the flag language should be used at this time.

The order was quickly conveyed, and the sail operators of the Longjiang were busy, all the sails were turned to the position where the wind was most forced, and the ship broke away from the fleet like an arrow from the string and headed straight north. Li Dayong's No. 2 Fu ship was also full of sails, ready to go around the island along the west, but as an ordinary ship, the speed was not very fast.

Guo Chengzhi's No. 2 Fu boat sailed straight to the coast of Daqin Island, estimated to take 10 minutes, almost there. Soon, the Fu ship of Guo Chengzhi approached the coast, and then lowered the three small boats for landing, and the soldiers of the land and water battalion boarded the boats with weapons and prepared to land. The landing boat is no more than 5 meters long, with a flat head and tail and a rocking oar at the back. The oars are different from the oars, the crew needs to lift the oars out of the water, and the oars are not used, just like the tail of the fish swaying from side to side in the water, which is much less labor-saving than the oars, so it is called one oar and three oars. The boat is the widest in the middle and the back, about 2 meters, and a small boat can carry 12 warriors in addition to the rockers. There were also many oars on board, and the sailors paddled to increase the speed of the boat, and the three small boats were getting closer and closer to the shoreline.

(Ask for collections, ask for recommendations, I hope you will be able to see the officials.) ）
