There are no secrets within the Ming army, or it can be said that they cannot keep secrets.
Three days had not passed since Governor Nan Juyi had just finished explaining things to Yu Zigao. In Fujian, everyone with some connections knew that the navy would attack Bengang.
As for the navy, it has spread throughout the country.
Fujian is the Ming province closest to Dayu Island, and the Tiger Character Banner Foreign Intelligence Bureau has stationed many people here.
As soon as they received the news that the Ming Navy would attack Bengang, they sent the news back to Bengang by boat overnight.
Before the fleet of the Ming Navy could go to Bengang, the capital sent a reward for the Battle of Penghu.
The captured leader of the red-haired barbarians, Gao Wenlu, had his head chopped off and his head was circulated to the nine sides, making it known to the world.
"General Yu, the governor sent me here to see how the navy's preparations are going. When can we go to sea?" Zhang Jien, the governor's staff, came to Yu Zigao's military headquarters.
Yu Zigao raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is there any news about the Red-haired Yi fleet?"
Because he had known for a long time that Nan Juyi wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of the Red Mao Yi and the Tiger Flag to start in Bengang to completely eradicate the Tiger Flag forces in Bengang, so Zhang Jien, an aide next to the governor, asked about the navy. I immediately thought that the red-haired barbarian fleet was coming.
"General Yu made a good guess. I just got the news that the Red Mao Yi fleet is already on its way to Bengang. It will arrive at Bengang in ten days at most. The governor hopes that our navy will set off to Penghu within three days. We can carry out a final blow to the forces in Bengang at any time, and the official document on mobilizing the navy will be sent later." Zhang Jien said.
Yu Zigao nodded and said: "Please go back and tell the army, Mr. Zhang, that I have already arranged everything for the navy. As soon as the official documents arrive, we can set off immediately."
After Zhang Jien finished explaining, he quickly left the General Military Mansion.
After noon, an official document mobilizing the navy was delivered to Yu Zigao's desk.
On the third day, the naval warships stationed on the shore left the coast one by one, and hundreds of warships of various types sailed towards Penghu.
The appearance of such a large-scale ship on the sea naturally alarmed the nearby people.
when! when! when!
"Is Third Brother at home?" Outside the courtyard door of a house, a man in shorts knocked on the courtyard door with his hand.
Not long after, the courtyard door was opened by someone inside.
"His uncle is here, come in quickly!" A dark-skinned woman walked out of the yard and enthusiastically greeted the man outside the door to come in.
The man asked: "Sister-in-law, are the three of you at home?"
"At home, you don't know that your third brother does nothing all day long. He either lies in the house or walks around the village." The woman complained.
The man said with a smile: "The third brother has made money so easily. Others can't even envy him. Sister-in-law, please don't blame the third brother."
With that said, he stepped into the yard.
"If I hadn't seen that he could earn some grain for us two, I would have kicked him out a long time ago. I don't like his willingness to idle around all day long. He is not a young master from some family, and he has a shop to support him, like In a family like ours, no one works hard to make money to support the family." The woman seemed to complain.
The man smiled, did not answer, and quickly entered the main room.
"The sea is coming, sit down quickly." The male owner of the house sat up from the bed, stuffed his feet into his shoes, and immediately said to the woman who came into the house together, "I don't see any guests coming, so hurry up and cook." Hot water.”
"The sea comes here often, and you are not an outsider, so you have a lot to do." The woman complained, but still walked outside the house.
The stove for cooking is in the yard, and you have to go to the yard to boil water.
As soon as the woman left, the man of the house asked eagerly: "Is there any movement at the Navy?"
The full name of the man named Dahai is Li Dahai. He has always been responsible for monitoring the Fujian Navy.
The male owner of this family is named Guo Tai. Like Li Dahai, he is a local spy developed by the Tiger Character Banner's Foreign Intelligence Bureau, specializing in collecting information about the Fujian Navy for the Tiger Character Banner.
"Just this morning, the navy dispatched hundreds of warships, probably heading for Bengang." Li Dahai said in a low voice, "We must send this news back to Bengang as soon as possible."
Guo Tai, who was sitting on the bed, frowned.
He said: "No, you can't go to Bengang at this time. If the ship goes into the sea, it will be easily discovered by the navy, unless the navy's ship is not going to Bengang."
Fujian is not far from Taiyuan Island. With so many ships of the Fujian Navy going to Bengang, it is difficult for other ships from Fujian to Bengang not to be discovered.
"Then what should we do?" Li Dahai frowned, "Except for the last time the navy recaptured Penghu, I have never seen so many warships dispatched. They must be heading for Bengang."
Guo Tai thought for a while and said, "You can't go into the sea, either. This time is different from the last time. How did you come in? Is the water boiled?"
Guo Tai frowned when he saw his wife entering the room.
"Why are you so nervous? What can two big men be ashamed of?" The woman rolled her eyes at her man, and then said, "I came in to ask if his uncle would stay for dinner, so I should prepare more. "
Li Dahai smiled at the woman and said, "No, sister-in-law, my eldest brother and I have something to do. We'll leave as soon as we finish."
"You have a lot of things to do, why don't you go outside and see if the hot water is boiling? You won't even know when the pot is boiling." Guo Tai drove the woman out.
"You two gentlemen are always secretive, and you can't do shady things." The woman warned her man before turning around and leaving.
Guo Tai watched the woman leave the house and turned to Li Dahai and said, "I have a lot of things to do, so ignore her and let's continue talking about the navy."
"Most of the navy's ships have left the port, what should we do next?" Li Dahai asked Guo Tai.
Guo Tai looked thoughtful.
He is Li Dahai's superior, and all the Secret Service spies near the navy are under his command.
"Let's do this! You go back first and continue to keep an eye on the Navy to see when the departing ships will come back. I'll go to the county and find a way to spread the news." Guo Tai said.
Li Dahai nodded and said: "Then I'll go back first. There is only the waiter watching over the Navy. I'm afraid he won't be able to take care of me."
"Okay, you go back first. You must also pay attention to safety and don't let the Navy people find out." Guo Tai warned.
Li Dahai nodded, turned around and walked out.
Guo Taizhuo took his shoes and sent them out of the house.
The woman who was boiling water in the yard saw Li Dahai walking out. She straightened up from the stove and said, "His uncle is leaving now and won't he stay to eat?"
"No, I have something else to do, so I'll go home first." Li Dahai responded with a smile, and quickly walked through the courtyard gate to the street outside.
Guo Tai kept sending people out of the hospital and then came back.
"Why did Dahai come to you? Don't hide it from me. If something happens to you, Goudan and I won't be able to survive." The woman looked at Guo Tai with a worried look.
Guo Tai frowned and said, "What could happen? You old lady, just think about it."
With that said, he walked towards the house.
