"I see." Lin Yuan was shocked on the surface, but in fact, he was already happy in his heart.

It turned out that this vote of water thieves not only had Gan Ning, but also Huang Zu.

Huang Zu, the general of Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, was strong and courageous, and the most famous incident was to kill Sun Jian and shoot Sun Jian's generals Ling Cao and Xu Kun.

At that time, Sun Jian was a Jiangdong Tiger, who had just killed Hua Xiong, and he was in the limelight.

Huang Zu was able to plan to kill Sun Jian, which is enough to show that this person is brave and brave.

Even if the two brothers Sun Ce and Sun Quan took revenge later, Huang Zu held on for eight years and made the Jiangdong soldiers pay a heavy price.

And from Sun Miao's words, it is not difficult to hear that Huang Zu seems to have a heart for Lin Yuan.

"Sun Miao, I'm asking you now, are you willing to surrender to me?" Lin Yuan immediately asked in front of everyone.

A golden military general is still very precious.

Especially if this is still a naval general, it is even more difficult, it is difficult to find a thousand gold!

"I will surrender!" Sun Miao directly chose to surrender.

"Ding! System prompt: Golden General Sun Miao, allegiance to you! ”

……

"Good!" Lin Yuan picked up Sun Miao, personally untied the rope for him, and held his hand.

"Sun Miao, I am now training the naval army in Yunmengze, and I will go south to attack Zhong Xiangjun in the near future, you are all heroes in water warfare, join our army, like a tiger with wings."

"However, before the army goes south, I must eliminate the water thieves in Yunmengze."

"Can you go and persuade Huang Zu and let him lead the rest of the Jinfan thieves to surrender to me? I can give a heavy responsibility! ”

"Sun Miao is willing to go!" Sun Miao knelt on one knee, eager to have this opportunity.

"Good." Lin Yuan patted Sun Miao's shoulder and said, "You go down to rest, wait for me to write a letter, and then you will bring it to Huang Zu!" ”

"Yes."

Sun Miao left directly.

And after Sun Miao left, Zhao Yun spoke: "Lord, this person's loyalty is not high, let him go to persuade him to surrender, I'm afraid it will be to let the tiger return to the mountain!" ”

"Yes, I think so, too." Wei Yan nodded.

"Don't worry, two generals, I'm a little sure that Huang Zu will surrender to us." Lin Yuan waved his hand.

Next, Lin Yuan led the naval army into the town.

This town was established by Sun Miao by looting a group of people from nearby prefectures and counties.

Because the village establishment order is not used, it is impossible to check the attributes of the town.

After Lin Yuan occupied this town, the first thing he did was to appease the people.

He published a list of documents, in the name of the lord of Suizhou and Yingzhou, and the governor appointed by the Southern Song Dynasty court, which immediately made the people in the town a lot more peaceful.

Everyone knows that it was the people of the government who defeated the water thieves and reclaimed the town.

The 860 water thieves who were captured were imprisoned.

Lin Yuan divided half of his troops and was responsible for guarding this group of water thief prisoners.

The other half of the troops stayed at the docks to guard the ships and warships.

In this battle, in addition to gaining a town, the biggest gain is probably the 25 shipwrights and 5 fighting ships at the dock.

Ship: A small speedboat, masked with cowhide, very fast, generally able to carry 20 people.

Fighting ship: Medium-sized ship, used from the Three Kingdoms period to the Tang Dynasty, with a female wall on board, three feet high, can resist enemy arrows, and the ship is built with a shed that can accommodate 100 people.

Compared with the Daming Fu ship, the Daming Fu ship is a large ship, but it carries fewer people?

This is because the Damingfu ship is equipped with a large number of firearms, and there are 11 iron guns alone (up to 21 guns), according to the draft of the ship, so the personnel can only carry less.

A small number of people does not mean that the power is weak!

The power of the Daming Fu ship is more than 10 times that of the fighting ship.

A single shell may blow up the fighting ship to pieces.

However, after all, shells are expensive, and in some large-scale water battles, it is impossible to keep shelling, and you still have to rely on broadside fighting.

That's where ships and fighting ships come in, old-fashioned warships.

With these 5 fighting ships and 25 ships, it can be regarded as saving a lot of time in the construction of battleships.

In his spare time, Lin Yuan wandered around the island.

The whole island is very large, with a radius of ten miles, and many fields have been cultivated on the island, in addition to which a large number of palms, coconut trees, plantain trees, and banana trees are planted on the island......

Lin Yuan was speechless for a while, these tropical tree species actually came to Yunmengze.

Don't worry about these details, though.

Who made this a world of peerlessness! Any miracle can happen.

Lin Yuan walked on the white sand, and an idea germinated in his heart.

If all the islands in Yunmengze are developed for tourism, this will be a fatal temptation for life players.

He thinks it's a feasible idea!

The people rested on this island for the night.

On the second day, Zhuge Liang led 20 wheels, 100 red dragon boats, 100 eagle boats, and 3,000 sailors to the island.

Because the ships were mainly used to transport troops, they went very slowly.

After Zhuge Liang arrived, Lin Yuan told him about his desire to recruit Huang Zu.

"Lord, Liang will draft the document and let Huang Zu come down!"

Zhuge Liang immediately wrote a letter, the content of the letter was profound and concrete, knowing it with affection and moving with reason, which made people can't help but be moved to tears.

After Lin Yuan handed over the letter to Sun Miao, he asked him to lead a few water thieves and leave on his own.

Wei Yan arranged for his soldiers to receive the captured ships.

Each warship, after arranging the naval force, commanded hundreds of warships to practice around the island.

The contents of the drill included boarding operations, broadside engagement, warship formation, ship listening to drums, flag watching, island landing operations, overboard rescue, and warships cooperating with the rescue......

At the same time, Lin Yuan secretly sent a sentinel ship to explore the nearby islands and plan a navigation map.

On January 20, Sun Miao went and returned.

"Lord Yu, Huang Zu is very happy to receive your letter, but there are a large number of people among the Jinfan thieves who are resolutely opposed, and Huang Zu is now in a dilemma, and it is difficult to make up his mind for a while."

"He invited the lord to go to Huangzu Island in three days to discuss the plan!"

"Oh? Who are those who oppose it? Lin Yuan asked curiously.

Sun Miao replied truthfully: "There are two groups of people in total, among them, twelve people led by Li Jun, the second thief of Jinfan, and most of their islands are distributed at the southern end of Yunmengze, close to Qianjiang, I heard that they intend to take refuge in the Zhongchu Imperial Court!" ”

"In addition, there is also the Mirage Tongwei, who cooperates with the nine thieves in the east and wants to take refuge in Hanyang."

"Li Jun? Tong Wei? Lin Yuan frowned.

This time there were 21 people, more than half.

Lin Yuan then asked, "What is the attitude of the remaining 15 people?" What about Gan Ning? ”

Sun Miao replied: "Among the remaining 15 people, the vast majority of them are in a wait-and-see state, Brother Huang Zu intends to take refuge, Gan Ning has not performed for the time being, but the other two groups of people are secretly fighting for Gan Ning. ”

"Okay, three days later, I'll go to Huangzu Island in person!" Lin Yuan nodded and agreed.
