But the rebels in Dengju were not having a good time either. The rebels captured by the Ming army numbered about 2,000 people. In addition, there are almost five or six thousand people who are afraid of the court's accountability, wiping their necks and hanging their necks! Some of them threw themselves into the sea and died! In addition, there are a small number of people because they are from Dengzhou City, so they take off their military uniforms and return home to pretend to be good citizens, which can be regarded as escaping!
At this time, other generals were commanding their soldiers to rush desperately into the city, but Liu Pei led his men and horses to the camp. Zhu Dadian and Gao Qiqian, who were watching the broken city on the earthen wall, both saw Liu Pei leading the troops back to the camp. sent his own soldiers to invite Liu Pei to the wall.
Seeing Zhu Dadian and the others, Liu Pei first thought that they congratulated them on their achievements in exterminating the rebels, and after greeting each other, Zhu Dadian asked: "General Liu, why don't you go into the city?" ”
Liu Pei said: "Lord Hui, I didn't make any effort to break this Dengzhou City, so I won't rob it with other generals!" ”
Zhu Dadian guessed the truth but didn't debunk it, just nodded, but Gao Qiqian felt that Liu Pei's mind was a little unconscious, so he waved his hand casually and sent Liu Pei back. Liu Pei said unwillingly: "My lord, this Kong Youde fled overseas, but I am afraid that he will take refuge in Houjin!" What should we do? ”
Zhu Dadian said: "This official has long expected this! Therefore, after besieging Dengzhou City, this official arranged for General Huang to rectify the soldiers and horses of the Dongjiang River, and the thieves couldn't escape far if they wanted to! ”
Liu Pei could only bow goodbye when he heard this. However, when Liu Pei returned to the camp, two groups of carrier pigeons flew out to report the news.
At ten o'clock in the middle of the night, after Dengzhou City was completely in the hands of the Ming army, generals at all levels came to Zhu Dadian's big tent to report. As a result, the original harmony was gone, and they all stared at each other and looked at each other viciously.
As for Guan Ningjun, he is even more arrogant! Almost every general does not buy it, and the attitude is tough! Because the Guanning army was a cavalry, after entering the city, in order to grab things and gallop on horseback, he ran into many Ming soldiers at the head of other battalions. Moreover, the Guan Ning army is still domineering, and actually snatches the spoils of war from other Ming troops! That's why it's unanimously hostile to everyone!
After the generals finished reporting the situation, Zhu Dadian arched his hand to the north and said: "Since the day of the oath, it has been more than half a year now!" finally lived up to the expectations of the saints and completely wiped out the rebels in Shandong! ”
All the generals congratulated in unison: "Congratulations to Your Majesty!" ”
That night, Zhu Dadian held a banquet and invited all the generals to celebrate the recovery of Shandong, and all the generals naturally would not refuse.
At the beginning of the banquet, the generals at all levels were still tense. After all, the subordinates have suffered losses, and it will be difficult to convince the public if the lord above is silent! So it doesn't matter if they're really angry or if they're acting like they're acting like it. You have to show some attitude. However, everyone was very kind to Liu Pei, because everyone knew that Liu Pei did not send anyone into Dengzhou City.
At this point, the war in Shandong was completely over. The rest is just some of the easier stuff. For example, the wounded are treated, the remnants are cleaned up, and so on. Zhu Dadian did these things with a wave of his hand. Then he naturally reported to the saint for victory.
Not to mention the final end of Dengzhou City. Just talk about Kong Yongde them. During the first night of the trip, everyone was nervous and couldn't sleep! It wasn't until the next morning, when the rebels couldn't see Dengju anymore, that they immediately cheered loudly! I feel that I have really escaped from the ascension at this time!
The people below were very happy, but Kong Youde and the others didn't dare to be careless, because they knew that they had escaped from Dengzhou, and they were only half done! The matter will not be finished until the people who are with Houjin are connected.
In the largest sea boat, Kong Youde and several people were discussing the next thing. A huge map was spread out on the table, several people gathered around the map, Kong Youde pointed to the map and said, "Don't talk about what you said just now, talk about the next thing." It's the problem of Dongjiang Town! If our fleet wants to rush to Houjin, it must pass through the two places of Changshan and Lushun. Each of these two places has a naval army stationed, and its strength is okay. So they will definitely come and intercept us! ”
Kong Youde's concerns are very correct. Because at this time, in order to avoid the storm, the sea ships generally sail not far from the coastline. Especially when people and goods like Kong Youde and others are mixed together, and the ship's side is already extremely low, it is even more necessary to drive along the coastline.
But then you can't avoid the attack range of the Dongjiang Town Water Division. Unless they venture around the deep sea and head straight for the Yalu River. Mao Youshun tapped on the map and said, "This is a big problem!" These sailors were all arranged after Mao Shuai left that year, and they have nothing to do with us. So there's a chance they'll be killed! ”
Several generals next to him also expressed their opinions, which was similar to what Mao Youshun said. Kong Youde said: "I also know that this is the case, so I tell you, change the formation tomorrow morning, put all the warships in front, and rush over when the time comes!" ”
Mao Youshun frowned and said, "Is it okay to rush over with just a hard time?" ”
Kong Youde said: "There must be no problem! We all know what those sailors are! As long as we put on a desperate look, they will definitely be cowardly! It really doesn't work, we just need to protect the ships in the middle of the fleet that contain the belongings of their families, and the ships at the back of the fleet are left for them to repay their merits! ”
The others nodded their heads in the second round of Kong Youde's orders. Kong Youde said again: "There are about two days to go by sea from Changshan. Our ship is heavy, and it will take about three days to go. Slow down the boat a little longer and let them float on the surface for one more day. ”
After everyone finished discussing how to deal with the sailor of Changshan, they went to rest. But Kong Youde always felt frightened, which was not a good sign! So he spun around in the cabin for a long time and fell into a deep sleep.
By dawn the next day, the fleet was back on sail. The order of the fleet was slightly adjusted, and the ships in front were all loaded with guns and specially used for war. At this time, the fleet of more than 200 ships, stretching for several miles, is very spectacular!
Less than two hours after sailing, close to noon, a fleet suddenly appeared in front of you! Oh, the ship that started did not dare to slack off, and reported it directly to Kong Youde. For the sake of command convenience, Kong Youde's boat was also in the team in front.
He immediately rushed to the bow of the ship to look into the distance, and took out a telescope that he had not used for a long time and looked forward. The telescope was also a gift from Liu Pei to the generals of the Dongjiang Army.
Kong Youde looked carefully, but frowned. Because all the more than 30 ships in front of it are not in the style of Chinese-style sea ships. Just by looking at the huge sails, you know that they are Westerners! But Kong Youde couldn't figure out why there were Westerners' sailing ships here?
