The Soul of the Han Dynasty in the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 292

When Huang Han parted, he specially invited Jin Sheng, Huang Long and the generals of Dongjiang Town on the temporary flagship.

There have been several contacts, and the two sides have lost a lot of grievances. The high-grade liquor produced by the Huang family has won unanimous praise from the generals of Dongjiang Town. Huang Han opened his mouth when the wine was hot.

He told the generals of Dongjiang Town that the "Red Banner Army" would raid the South Four Guards sooner or later, and asked Huanglong's commander-in-chief and the supervisory censor to increase their efforts to manage Lushunkou.

Since Mao Wenlong died unjustly, Dongjiang Town has been in civil strife. The generals who used to fight with the Houjin army have not taken the initiative to fight Jiannu for many years. Seeing Huang Han, a young general, clamoring to regain Nansi Everyone in Wei laughed.

Jin Sheng and Huang Long are not from the old department of Dongjiang Town, they are both outsiders. Jin Sheng is still a patriot like an angry youth, and a military fan who is familiar with military books but lacks practice.

He was too eager to regain the homeland of Ming Dynasty. Seeing that the "Red Banner Army" had the intention to attack the Southern Four Guards, he immediately stated that he would personally go to Lushunkou to garrison in a while, and hoped that Huang Han would notify him in time when he launched an attack.

How great is the power of restoring the soil?The commander-in-chief Huang Long was moved.

What's more, Huang Han had the great military exploits of successfully going out of the fortress to complete the sneak attack and obtain the "Great Victory in Qingcheng". Huang Long saw the large ships of the "Red Banner Army" water camp with his own eyes. He believed that Huang Han should have the ability to raid the Southern Four Guards.

He said: "Master Huang has great ambitions, and I don't want to do nothing. You only need to let Master Huang know when to do something, and the people of Dongjiang Town will definitely go all out."

Huang Han looked at the generals of Dongjiang Town who were sitting there, and found that only Shang Kexi was a big traitor in the future, such as Huang Long, Shen Shikui, Shang Keyi, Li Weiluan, Shang Kejin, Xiang Zuolin, Fan Hualong, Zhang Dalu, etc. were all fighting to the death The hero who did not surrender, finally became a hero of the Ming Dynasty.

Now that I was born, I must make good use of these national heroes, and I can no longer let the heroes be dusted, and let traitors like Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming, and Shang Kexi who betray the country and seek glory have the last laugh.

Huang Han bowed his hands to the generals of Dongjiang Town present here and said: "Generals, the South Four Guards are close to the sea, and our 'Red Banner Army' water camp is under development, and craftsmen are busy building warships. Power."

Shen Shikui is different from Huang Long. He has been an island general for more than ten years, and it is common for him to travel to the islands and Lushunkou with his water camp. He is familiar with sea ships.

When he came to Huang Han's temporary flagship to have a banquet, he had a good look at this big ship, and he was so envious that he laughed for a long time.He thought that if he had a few warships like this, he would be able to defeat invincible opponents all over the Liaohai Sea.

Shen Shikui stood up and cupped his fists and asked, "Master Huang, how many warships did you build like the one we are riding on now? I heard that the artillery of this warship has not been equipped yet. I wonder how many warships this warship has?" artillery?"

Huang Han said truthfully: "Three of such warships should be ready to serve this year, and they should be equipped with more than ten heavy artillery pieces."

Shen Shikui slapped his thigh and said: "With such artillery fire, our army can use the advantage of the navy to launch a surprise attack on the South Four Guards. Jiannu has no navy, and our army will not suffer huge losses even if it is not successful."

Li Weiluan's knowledge is even better than that of Shen Shikui, and he is more eager to make achievements when he can remain invincible, so he clasped his fists and said:

"Master Huang, the subordinates under my command are not cowards, and I have more than [-] large and small sea-going ships in my hands. I am willing to participate in the attack on the Southern Four Guards, and I will definitely obey your command at that time."

Huang Han promised: "My lords, the 'Red Banner Army' will be the main attack at that time. After regaining the homeland, I would like to share the credit with the Dongjiang generals."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shang Kexi was the first to stand up and clasped his fists and said: "Master Huang, if you dare to fight, you are willing to fight to the death to serve your country. Your Excellency is attacking Nan Siwei, please order your subordinates to be the vanguard battalion of the army."

"Dizzy!" So many martyrs who sacrificed their lives for Ming Dynasty have yet to speak, why is it your turn, a traitor, to be impassioned?
Although Huang Han thought so in his heart, he still had to show a joyful expression on his face. He had to express something when someone made such a statement. Huang Han said: "General Shang is brave, loyal, and righteous. I admire you. In the future, we will fight together on the battlefield for the restoration of the country and the opening of the frontiers." Go up to kill the enemy and make meritorious deeds."

At this time, Huang Han really had a different heart, he was thinking about whether he would have a chance to make a fortune on the battlefield, let him die in the fierce battle with Jiannu and become a martyr of the Ming Dynasty, so as not to become a big traitor who will not be remembered forever.

After quelling the rebellion launched by Geng Zhongyu, Huanglong did not have his legs broken, ears and nose cut off by the rebels like in history.

The "Red Banner Army" has contacts with Dongjiang Town, and a certain degree of trust has been established between the two armies, and they have signed a memorandum of agreement to provide foreign aid to each other, to join hands when attacking the enemy, and to help each other when attacked by the enemy.

After successfully completing this diplomacy, Huang Han returned with a team of nearly [-] more ships, and when he left Phi Island, he took away more than [-] Liao people trapped on the island.

This time, taking the initiative to participate in the suppression of the rebellion in the Dongjiang River, Huang Han actually made a lot of money. Twenty large ships were used for smuggling, and the value of the ships and their cargo was close to 40 taels of silver. It is impossible for these ships to be returned to Huang Han. .

The Shen family had just been ransacked, and the culprit had been escorted to Beijing by Zhang Tao's soldiers for interrogation. In this turmoil, how could other smuggling families in Denglai have the courage to come to the "Red Banner Army" to ask for the seized ship?
Besides, when he returned to "Tiger Cave" city, Huang Han was going to hand over the sailors, gunners and captain of the smuggling ship to Gao Youmou and Zheng Xiaowen for interrogation and screening.

Gao Youmou and Zheng Xiaowen, who are used to this kind of thing, not only will not return the smuggled ship and the goods, but extorting a hush money should not be a problem.

In order to seek rapid development, Huang Han's thirst for money and food is endless. At this time, the Han nationality is facing the ruin of the country and the destruction of the family, and the slaves who will be reduced to barbarians for hundreds of years. This is not the time to talk about morality.

Besides, generals and scholar-bureaucrats who ignored the imperial government's national policy of economic blockade and slavery, and used their power to smuggle and make a fortune are not good birds, and there is no ideological burden to blackmail these people.

In order to increase the population, Huang Han temporarily gave up running transportation to make a fortune, but spared no effort to transport the Liao people between Denglai, Phi Island, Lushunkou, and Shenmi Island, and also brought some food to the generals stationed on the islands in Dongjiang Town.

After more than 4000 shipbuilders worked overtime for half a year, invested more than [-] working hours, and paid more than [-] taels of silver in wages, all [-] old lock ships were born.

The largest ship type has a displacement of 6000 tons. For a warship of this level, the net cost of the ship is as high as [-] taels of silver, not including the equipment. If the equipment and decoration are completed, the value may be more than doubled.
