Chapter 266: Back to Camp
Haikou
The officers and men of the coastal defense battalion of the Ming army were stationed at the mouth of the Meidi River.
These days, the officers of the coastal defense battalion guarding the river suddenly noticed that there were fewer and fewer traders and fishermen going downstream, and that the bamboo rafts at the mouth of the river could be connected on weekdays, but now there are very few.
Seeing that the situation was abnormal, the officers of the coastal defense battalion stationed here hurriedly dispatched the officers and men of the naval division to ride a raft up the river to inquire about the situation.
"My lord, I found a person in the water ahead." A bamboo raft in front of him swam back and yelled at the co-ordinator of the team leader.
I saw an unkempt man covered in mud being scooped up from the riverbank by the soldiers.
Looking at the man who was carried back, the co-president frowned, apparently falling into the water and being washed by the river onto the mudflats on the riverbank.
A soldier hurriedly poured a bucket of water on the man's body, instantly washing away most of the sludge, revealing a dark golden armor in an instant.
The co-ordinator immediately sensed that something was wrong, and hurriedly ordered the surrounding coastal defense battalion officers and soldiers to be on guard.
"Co-Chief, more corpses have been found here." On the river in the distance, officers and soldiers on several rafts scooped up more than a dozen corpses.
"Quick, notify Shui Shi Town immediately." The commander of the coastal defense battalion hurriedly said.
The Shuishi town stationed in Haikou finally got the news of Huang Jin's rebellion, but this was already five days later.
On a lucky ship, Xu Bin hurriedly stepped onto the deck and looked at the generals in front of him.
"How's it going, is there a live mouth?" Xu Bin asked.
One of the generals smiled wryly and shook his head.
"More than 20 corpses were found on the river, most of them were officers and soldiers of our Marine Battalion, and they all had wooden plaques of our Ming Army on their bodies, which were very easy to identify, and there were also some corpses of traders and civilians, which were believed to have washed down from the upstream." Zhao Zhendao, the general of Shui Shizuo Town.
"There will be no mistake, the land and sea merchants who stayed in Meidi sent a report overnight that Huang Jin had rebelled." Wang Li, the owner of the land and sea merchant ships, said with a panicked expression.
There is no room for him not to mess up, Lu Hai prepared a large amount of heavy grain and grass for the Ming army, and even the goods that are ready to trade in Hexian and other places, as well as dozens of merchants, are all in Meidi City.
"How could the three hundred soldiers of the Marine Battalion, as well as the hundreds of soldiers I left behind in the city, lose so easily." Xue Wenjing muttered to himself.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the most important thing now is to find out the news in Meidi City, if Lord Xiao falls into the hands of the rebels, the consequences will be unimaginable." Xu Bin sighed.
The most troublesome thing now is not to counter the rebellion, after all, the left and right battalions are not more than 1,000 troops, plus the nearby towns and towns are only more than 1,000 soldiers, and it is easy for Shuishi Town and Liwu Town to quell the rebellion.
But the problem is that there is no news in Meidi City now, and even whether Xiao Wu is alive or dead, the Ming army does not know.
"My lord, judging from the corpses, it should be the soldiers sent by the Marine Battalion to ask for help, which means that the Marine Battalion is still holding on to resist, maybe Lord Xiao is in the Marine Battalion, and we should immediately go north along the Meidi River to rescue the officers and soldiers of the Marine Battalion, and finally fight together to quell the rebels in one fell swoop." Zhao Zhen, the general of Zuozhen of the Water Division, proposed.
"Yes, there are three hundred officers and soldiers in the Marine Battalion, and the guard general Wang An is not an ordinary person, and it is not easy for the rebels to take down the left and right battalions. Several generals nodded in agreement, agreeing with Zhao Zhen's proposal.
"Lord Xu, no matter what, Shuishi Town shouldn't wait, let's send soldiers to take a boat and raft north to quell the rebellion! Our army and sea chamber of commerce will use all the rafts and canoes for the Ming army to go north. Wang Li glanced at Xu Bin and said helplessly.
Now the Shuishi Town is undoubtedly under Xu Bin's control, and only Xu Bin can mobilize the Shuishi Town.
"That's all there is to it." Xu Bindao.
"Lord Xu, the warships of the Guangnan Navy Division are still cruising around the city, eyeing our Ming army, if the officers and soldiers of our Daming Navy Division take a raft and canoe to the north to quell the rebellion, then the Guangnan Navy Division who learned the news will definitely counterattack, and then our army will definitely suffer from the enemy, it is better to let the last general lead the officers and soldiers of Liwu Town to the north to quell the rebellion." Xue Wenjing, the general of Liwu Town, said.
"If you don't trust the general, the general is willing to hand over the military power of Liwu Town, and the generals of Shuishi Town will go north to quell the rebellion."
Seeing that the generals of the Ming army present were looking at him with a suspicious and even angry look, Xue Wenjing said helplessly.
"Since General Xue has the intention to do that, General Zhao led the Marine War Association of Shui Shi Zuo Town, together with Liwu Town and the Naval Artillery Battalion, to the north to quell the rebellion." Xu Bindao.
Hearing this, Xue Wenjing sighed.
I thought that I could take refuge in Ming Tingbo as a good way out, but I didn't expect that now I even lost my military power.
Of course, this is also a helpless thing.
After all, he is also a Meidi general, and Huang Jin's rebellion must implicate himself.
If he hadn't surrendered his military power to protect himself, he would have died today.
As for raising troops to resist like Huang Jin, Xue Wenjing didn't even dare to think about it.
After all, anyone who sees the dozens of naval warships of the Ming Army in Haikou will be afraid.
In the eyes of the Ming army, the soldiers of Liwu Town were just battalions and township soldiers of the third line of the group.
Huang Jin dared to rebel, largely because the Ming army was on an expedition, and the number of troops in the city was only 300, coupled with the strong city defense of Meidi and the support of Guangnan, which gave Huang Jin the confidence to rebel.
But Xue Wenjing and Liwu Town are in Haikou, and next to them is the Daming Water Division, and he doesn't dare to rebel if he has 10,000 guts.
Fortunately, however, there is no end to it.
Two days later, Xiao Wu actually returned to the camp by himself.
"The last general will meet with the Admiral." In the Haikou camp, the generals of the Ming army knelt down.
Xiao Wu was obviously pale
^0^ Remember for a second
He is much older, and has fled all the way to Haikou these days, and there is only one Ming army garrison left guarding him.
Fortunately, the soldiers sent by the Marine Battalion scattered and fled, attracting the attention of a large number of rebels on the left and right, so that Xiao Wu could flee to Haikou, hiding in the mountains and forests during the day to avoid the search of officers and soldiers, and floating across the Meidi River at night.
"I regret it, I shouldn't believe Huang Jin." Xiao Wu took a sip of hot tea and exhaled a long breath.
"This bureaucracy actually colluded with Guangnan and raised troops to rebel against our Ming court, causing hundreds of my Ming troops to die in the city."
"Lord Xiao, now we should immediately go north to attack Meidi City and exterminate the rebels." Xue Wenjing hurriedly said.
"General Xue should be restless, according to the time, General Chen and General Yang should also return to Jiading, we can wait for General Yang to return to Jiading, if General Yang returns to Meidi, with the prestige of General Yang Yandi, the military and civilians of Meidi will definitely be able to surrender." Xu Bin hurriedly persuaded.
Now that Xiao Wu has returned safely, there is no need for the Ming army to rush to the United States to quell the rebellion in such a hurry.
This time, the Guangnan Navy Division has been cruising around the Champa area, Xu Bin is afraid that the army will pull out, and the Guangnan Navy Division will stab him in the back.
Second, this Dongpu has just settled down, and if the war between the United States and Didi resumes, I am afraid that Jiading will not be peaceful for several years, so that the Ming court's efforts to build Jiading into a large rear will be in vain.
Dear, this chapter is over, happy reading! ^0^
