Chapter 289: Landing on the Island

When rows of Qing army captives were taken into the Ming army's bird boat and returned to the fleet, several Ming army generals frowned and stretched their brows.

"Sir, I have also questioned something from the Qing army in the Tartars." A co-founder reported.

"Oh, come on, tell me quickly." Yang Yandi and Zhao Zhen said hurriedly.

"These Qing soldiers were officers and soldiers from the Yazhou camp of Qiongzhou Prefecture. Five or six days ago, they received an order from the garrison of the Qing army in Yazhou to arrest a group of illegal merchants. As a result, they encountered strong winds and waves shortly after going out to sea. One ship sank on the spot. The leader of the team led the generals to search for the only rushing boat for several days and happened to meet our army." The assistant chief said everything he knocked out from the mouths of the Qing army captains to the generals present.

"Bring that man to the boss." Zhao Zhen said.

Soon, Huang Shangquan, who was beaten by the Ming army, was dragged to the deck by the Ming army half dead.

Before Huang Shangquan could react, a basin of cold sea water poured down.

"ah!"

Huang Shangquan let out a scream like a pig slaughtering and woke up in an instant.

The salty and wet sea water soaked in his bloody eyes, making him feel in pain.

"Several heroes, please spare me, please spare me." Huang Shangquan rolled on the ground in pain, but he kept begging for mercy.

Obviously, until now, he has not realized what he has met.

"If you don't want to die, just tell me how many Qing troops there are in Yazhou?" Zhao Zhen stepped on Huang Shangquan's body, spit out, and said fiercely.

Only then did Huang Shangquan see clearly that the people in front of him were all wearing armor.

"ah!"

Seeing Huang Shangquan stand stupidly and insisting on not saying anything, Zhao Zhen made a fierce move and chopped off Huang Shangquan's left arm with one knife.

"Next time, it's another arm, and then it's your head." Zhao Zhen picked up that arm and patted Huang Shangquan's head.

Yang Yandi looked at Zhao Zhen with a depressed look on his face, "After all, I have been a pirate, why do you feel that you are even more pirate than me?"

"Now, those who wear official uniforms on the sea will be navy, and those who take off their official uniforms will be pirates." Zhao Zhen spat and said viciously.

He was right, at least 30% of the sailors in the Ming army's navy were pirates.

Therefore, compared with the Qing Navy officers and soldiers, the Ming Navy officers and soldiers were more fierce.

"I said, I said..." Huang Shangquan was also scared by this cruel man.

"Only one camp in Yazhou, there are only eight hundred people in total, four hundred are our masters. This time, we brought out 150 people, and more than 200 people left on the shore." Huang Shangquan cried with a sad face, and the salty and wet sea water mixed with blood flowed down from his body. He was already weak when he spoke, and obviously he couldn't hold on for long.

"Very good, very good..." Zhao Zhen nodded, then cut off Huang Shangquan's head with a knife.

"Why did lord kill him now?" a general said in dismay.

"Why, do you think a mere man can still lead us?" Zhao Zhen sneered and washed his knife with the clean water beside him.

"Hang his head up to me, and make sure that all the Qing army prisoners see it." Zhao Zhen sneered.

"Of course someone will lead us." Zhao Zhen said coldly.

When Huang Shangquan's head was hung on the main ship, all the Qing army prisoners exploded.

One by one, they kowtowed and begged for mercy.

"Good man, please spare me."

"Dear men, do you want to go to Yazhou to rob? I can lead the way." Several Qing army prisoners hurriedly climbed over and said to the Ming army generals.

Several leading small leaders were smart, and they told them all the general direction of the fleet, shouting that they would take the fleet to hide from the Qing army on the island and go to rob.

"A group of rats, I really think we are pirates." A squad leader curled his lips and looked at the Qing army prisoners kneeling in front of him with great contempt.

The officers and soldiers of the Navy Town did not tell their identity, and the large number of officers and soldiers on the ship were not armed, so these low-knowledge Qing prisoners mistakenly thought that these people were just pirates.

Soon, the Ming army learned from these Qing army prisoners the general direction of Yazhou and the location of the Qing army's garrison.

"If nothing unexpected happens, the fleet can arrive in Yazhou within five days, so that the officers and soldiers of the left and right battalions can be prepared." Zhao Zhen said.

Yang Yandi nodded, then looked at the Qing army prisoners kneeling on several bird boats not far away.

"What should we do with these prisoners? After all, there are fifty or sixty people?" Yang Yandi said.

"Just trash, the leader has hung his head on the mast. Do they still dare to rebel?" Zhao Zhen sneered.

"Press them all on the land and sea merchant ship behind. The Admiral spoke. I cannot wait to kill prisoners indiscriminately. Now the Ming court is too short of Han people." The guerrilla Wang Ansheng from the Land Battle Battalion was afraid that Zhao Zhen would cut people again, so he hurriedly signaled the officers and soldiers below to send the Qing army prisoners to the Fu Ship in the rear.

"The only one is 800 Qing troops in Yazhou. The remaining naval officers and soldiers and warships will be solved by our Navy Town. Can the hundreds of Qing army general Yang on the land be wiped out within one day?" Zhao Zhen looked at Yang Yandi coldly and said.

"Okay, within one day after landing on the island, I will break the camp of the Qing army's Yazhou." Yang Yandi gritted his teeth and said.

In just five or six days, it was fleeting.

Like the information the Ming army had inquired before, the Ming army navy never encountered the Qing army's patrol fleet again along the way.

Obviously, the Qing army did not pay much attention to the coastal defense in the southern part of Qiongzhou Island.

The Qing army fleet encountered by the Ming army was purely a blind cat and a dead mouse.

The sixth day, early morning

The sea was hazy, and the soldiers on the boat were still sleeping soundly in the cabin.

As a result, a horn sound suddenly came.

"Sir, I have seen the land." The shouts of sailors came from the lookout post, and then there was a heavy drumbeat on the deck.

"Prepare for war immediately, hurry up." In the troop transport cabin, the officers and soldiers from left and right battalions got up one after another, put on their clothes in panic, picked up their weapons, and lined up under the leadership of their flag officers.

"How is it? Have you seen the land?" Yang Yandi hurriedly ran down from the boat building.

At this time, the sea was still covered in gray.

I don’t know why the brother on the whistle had such good eyesight.

"The beach is half a mile ahead, but according to the instructions of the Qing army prisoners, it will take one day to arrive at the Yazhou camp garrison." Zhao Zhen said.

"The fog is too strong now, and there are reefs near the sea. Why don't you send the left and right camp here and let the left and right camp land?" Yang Yandi said.

The fog is very high now and the Ming army navy has never been to Qiongzhou Island. If you surround the island rashly, you may hit the reefs near the sea.

"Let's do this, the officers and soldiers of the left and right battalions set off immediately on a bird boat. The bird boat is small and easy to turn around, the water is shallow, and they are not afraid of reefs." Zhao Zhen said.
