Under the close supervision of the spearmen on board, the rebel water ghosts who jumped into the lake could not find a way to overturn the Ming boat. So some people began to think of the idea of chiseling through the bottom of the ship.

However, although the Ming ships were civilian ships, the bottom of the ships was also made of thick wood, and the rebel water ghosts had tools such as short knives and chisels, and it would take at least a long time to chisel through them. For such a long time, no matter how good the water is, it can't hold on, and it must be floated to the surface for ventilation, and the Ming army spearmen on the boat stared at the lake with blazing eyes, and it was a shot when they saw the outcropping rebel water ghosts......

It was impossible to overturn the Ming ships for a while, and the leader of the rebel army was the second leader of the Wuxi battalion, but he was very fierce.

If it was to fight on land, how would a rabble like the Wuxi Battalion dare to go against the elite Northern Expeditionary Army? And in the lake, these bandits believed that they had a good temperament, and even had the idea of defeating the official army.

Who knew that as soon as the rebel ship approached the Ming army, a black spot was thrown from the Ming army's ship, and then there was an earth-shattering explosion.

All it takes is a grenade to blow up a dozen rebels on a ship, killing and wounding a lot. The second leader of the Wuxi battalion was overturned into the lake by a grenade, and the corpse floated up after a while.

Before the two sides could meet each other, more than a dozen ships were blown up by the Ming army, and the second boss was even killed. One by one, they rowed their oars and fled back towards Maji Mountain. There are also more intelligent rebels who did not choose to flee back to Maji Mountain, but fled to the depths of the vast Taihu Lake.

Ma Yingzheng ignored these sporadic rebels who fled to the depths of Taihu Lake, and only ordered the whole army to approach Maji Mountain and land on the west side of the island.

Seeing the defeat of the oncoming fleet, the rebels on Majishan Island were already panicking. Some of the brave rebels tried to resist, while many more cried and fled to the south side of the island, trying to escape from the south side of the island.

However, at this time, Lu Jianxing, a thousand households of Jinyi Wei, arrived with the other half of the officers and soldiers and seized more than a dozen fishing boats in the south of the island, completely blocking the escape of the rebels.

After a battle from both sides, the rebels suffered more than 100 casualties, and the rest surrendered.

Lu Jianxing ordered a thorough investigation, but was shocked to find that there was no trace of Ai Nengqi among the captives.

"Check, check carefully, if you want to see people in life and see corpses in death, you must find the whereabouts of Ainengqi!" Lu Jianxing said angrily, seeing that the credit he had received was gone, which made him feel angry in his heart.

However, after some interrogation, a small leader of the rebels confessed that just two days ago, Ainengqi and Hou Mubai, the big boss of the Wuxi battalion, left Maji Mountain with more than a dozen people on a fishing boat.

"Where the hell did Enenci go?" Lu Jianxing grabbed the little leader's bun and asked viciously.

"The villain really doesn't know, the big marshal and the big boss are secretive, and the villain only knew about it when he was on duty that day, as for where they went, I'm afraid only the second boss can know." The little leader replied in horror.

"Find out this bullshit second master!" Lu Jianxing said angrily. However, after some searching, it was discovered that the second master had been killed by a grenade in the battle, and all that could be found was the corpse. At this point, the hope of catching Enengchi was completely disappointed.

At this moment, Ainengqi was driving in the Yangtze River with Hou Mubai, the head of the Wuxi camp, and went upstream against the current.

"Brother Hou, you can leave thousands of brothers and follow your brother away, my brother really can't bear it!" At the bow of the boat, looking at the river scenery on both sides of the river, Ai Nengqi said softly.

Hou Mubai said: "Being able to follow behind the big handsome is the blessing of the brothers." ”

After saying that, the two looked at each other and smiled. Chen Yue, the king of Qi, came south with tens of thousands of Northern Expeditionary troops, and the rebels in Wuxi were defeated in the First World War, and everyone knew that there was no future for staying in Jiangnan. However, there are still more than 100,000 Western troops in Sichuan, firmly occupying the Chengdu Basin. Sichuan is the country of abundance, easy to defend and difficult to attack, Ai Nengqi was once one of the top ten generals of the Great Western Kingdom, and Li Dingguo and Sun Kewang of Sichuan are sworn brothers, when he heard the promise of Ainengqi's future, Hou Mubai decisively abandoned his subordinates and chose to follow Ainengqi to Sichuan.

"Chen Yue's little Qian Fenglin old thief, I want Lao Tzu to carry the black pot for you, it's really a dream! When Lao Tzu returns to Sichuan, he will definitely take the army out of Sichuan again, and then we will fight again! Ainengqi snorted heavily into the river water, thinking fiercely!

......

In Hangzhou, the news of Ainengqi's escape has been reported to Chen Yue by Jinyiwei. As for not catching Ai Nengqi, Chen Yue didn't care.

Now that Chongzhen has compromised, and a group of civil officials of the Donglin Party are also obedient, what can they do if Ai Nengqi is caught or not? Who else in the world dares to question their relationship with the rebels?

The provisional president of the Ming Empire, looking at the imperial decree placed on the table in front of him, Chen Yue couldn't help but laugh out loud. I got the name at random out of fun, but I didn't expect the court and Emperor Chongzhen to really agree. This shows that Chongzhen has accepted his fate, and the civil officials in the court have also obeyed.

When you arrive in Nanjing, do you want to issue a silver coin with your portrait printed on it? Chen Yue couldn't help but think, if that was the case, would future generations call themselves Chen Datou?

"Congratulations to the prince, no, congratulations to the president." Feeling Chen Yue's joyful mood, Wang Yin on the side also smiled.

Chen Yue smiled and waved his hand: "What is expected, there is nothing to congratulate." ”

"The prince has become the president and holds great power, so that we can carry out the reform plan we have formulated, isn't this worth congratulating?" Wang Yin said with a smile.

"Haha, it's worth it." Chen Yue also laughed, "But before you go back to Nanjing, you must completely deal with the affairs of the rebels." ”

Wang Yin said: "What the prince said is that we should immediately send someone to send a letter to Qian Fenglin and promote the recruitment of the rebels according to the agreed method." ”

The steps to appease the rebels had been discussed in advance, and they could be implemented after the imperial court compromised.

Now that Chen Yue has become the president, he can naturally decide how to deal with the rebels. In the name of the president, he ordered a plan to appease the rebels.

Most of the rebel battalions were scattered in Suzhou, Qian Fenglin had absolute control over nearly 100,000 rebels, and it was naturally very easy to appease the rebels, which was equivalent to negotiating with himself, not how convenient it was.

However, just when Chen Yue was busy dealing with the rebels, news suddenly came from Fujian, and Zheng Sen, who had disappeared for many days, suddenly appeared in Fujian, convincing several generals of the original Zheng Jiajun to pull the flag and rebel! ()
