"Is this Kong Youde?" Chen Yue looked at the middle-aged man with a blue nose and swollen face and an ugly money rat tail hairstyle tied to the ground, and asked suspiciously.

When attacking the island with a few warships, the green battalion soldiers on the island waved white flags and claimed to have revolted anyway. Chen Yue naturally didn't dare to slack off, ordered them to hand over their weapons, and then sent troops to surround them. Then this green battalion called Bao Jielin kept saying that he had caught the big traitor Kong Youde.

Kong Youde, one of the famous Sanshun kings of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, whether in his previous life or in this life, Chen Yue has heard of his reputation.

A flood washed away the Manchu camp, so that the Pingnan army achieved a hearty victory, the fly in the ointment is that it did not get enough trophies to boast of military exploits, such as the head of the Manchu chieftain Duoduo, and now it is not bad to catch Kong Youde.

"Lord Hui, it's true, if the villain dares to lie, there will be five thunderstorms in the sky!" Bao Jielin knelt on the ground and said with an oath.

The general of the Ming army on the other side is extremely young, but he has a bad aura of not being angry and arrogant, and he must be a big man in the Ming army.

"Master Hou, the last general has verified that it is indeed Kong Youde." Chen Yan said. There were also several Han Army Banner Eight Banner soldiers who were arrested, all of whom were Kong Youde's subordinates, so it was naturally not difficult to confirm Kong Youde's identity.

"Grandpa is Kong Youde, it is Kong Youde, the king of the Qing Dynasty who was in Denglai back then, and the opposite side is Chen Yue, the marquis of Daming Pingnan?"

Kong Youde knew that he was not lucky, raised his bloodstained face, stared at Chen Yue deadly, and scolded angrily. From Chen Yan's title and the rumored youth of the commander of the Ming army, he identified the identity of the young man opposite.

"Bastard, the general of the defeated army dares to be rude to my lord!" Chen Yan flew up and kicked Kong Youde's chin, kicking his mouth full of teeth.

Kong Youde rolled on the dirt floor, letting out a maniacal laugh.

"Don't let him die, this person is extremely evil, and after reporting to the imperial court, he will be executed to Ling Chi to comfort the countless undead who died in vain in Denglai Mountain."

Chen Yue frowned and commanded.

In that year, Kong Youde launched a mutiny in Wuqiao and invaded Dengzhou, and together with Geng Zhongming, he did evil in Denglai, Shandong for more than a year, which led to the erosion of the whole Shandong, and hundreds of people died in vain, and then defected to Houjin under the encirclement and suppression of the imperial army, which was a notorious traitor.

Seeing Kong Youde's mouth gagged and dragged down by the Ming army like a dead dog, Bao Jielin's body trembled, he didn't know what he would do.

Chen Yu, a soldier in the green camp on the side, was also trembling, and the words that originally begged for mercy and showed merit did not dare to say it in front of the majesty of this young Marquis of Daming.

"You can change your evil ways and return to righteousness, and it is also meritorious to catch Kong Youde, and you can avoid the sin of rebellion in the past."

Chen Yue's words were like a heavenly sound, which made all the green battalion soldiers present overjoyed.

Chen Yue didn't want to say more, and ordered to vacate the ships and send these surrendered green battalion soldiers and the people on the island to Yangzhou City for resettlement. Then use this island as a base camp and begin to command the liquidation of the remnants of the Qing army.

The timing of the explosion of the Sanhe Dam embankment in Hongze Lake was so wonderful that it was night when the flood came, and all the Qing soldiers were asleep, and there was no time to move safely. In this case, unless the water is particularly good, it is very difficult to swim safely to the hills at night to escape.

Of the more than 100,000 Qing troops, only two or three thousand were able to escape to the hills, and most of them were green battalion soldiers who were familiar with water. The warships of the Pingnan Army arrived, like the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves, and swept away several isolated islands in the water in the west of the city.

The remnants of the Green Battalion had no heart to resist at all, and surrendered on their knees. Chen Yue reluctantly found that the use of hundreds of warships was purely a knife for killing chickens.

And the imaginary big fish, such as Duoduo, the prince of Yu in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, was not found, and must have been drowned in the flood, which made Chen Yue very regretful.

The fleet could only be ordered to transport the surrendered Green Battalion soldiers and the remnants of the people off the isolated island. There were only thousands of people who could escape, which made Chen Yue quite uncomfortable, and the joy brought by the victory was much lighter.

And at this moment, hundreds of ships appeared from the north and came to the west of Yangzhou along the surging flood, which was the fleet led by Wang Yin and Jin Shenghuan.

"Congratulations to Hou Ye for annihilating 100,000 Qing troops in one fell swoop and making great achievements!"

Seeing Chen Yue, Jin Shenghuan, Wu Ping, Chen Mo and other generals bowed and saluted, and congratulated at the same time.

Annihilating 100,000 strong enemies in one fell swoop, who can do such a great feat in the Ming Dynasty for more than 200 years? This made Chen Yue's prestige in the army reach its peak, and as participants in this great victory, Jin Shenghuan and others were also honored.

Wang Yin stroked his beard with his hands, and his face was full of smiles. This victory was so brilliant and timely, that Wang Yin saw the hope of the re-emergence of the Ming Dynasty.

"Master Hou, while this flood has not receded, we should wave our army and send it directly to Nanjing to solve the danger of the siege of Nanjing in one fell swoop!"

Wang Yin solemnly suggested.

Chen Yue nodded: "Ben Hou has this intention. ”

As early as when he sent troops to clear the remnants of the Qing army, Chen Yue had already ordered the troops in Yangzhou to assemble and requisition all the ships in Yangzhou.

Chen Yue planned to take advantage of the fact that the Qing army outside Nanjing did not react, and quickly sent troops to Nanjing, annihilating the Qing army besieging Nanjing in one fell swoop, and then quickly swung his army straight to Wuhu.

Thinking about his father Chen Jianghe, who was blocking the Qing army on the West Road in Wuhu, Chen Yue was anxious at this moment.

Returning to Yangzhou by boat, Chen Yue immediately summoned all the generals of the Yangzhou Pingnan Army, as well as the heads of the shogunate, the prefect of Yangzhou, and Wei Yinwen, the governor of Huaiyang, to announce the dispatch of troops to Nanjing.

Chen Yue decided to send 60,000 square meters of the main force of the southern army to reinforce Nanjing, leaving only a few thousand people to defend the city. At the same time, he ordered all departments of the shogunate and Shikai Shiko to closely cooperate with the Yangzhou government to carry out post-disaster relief and reconstruction work. The flood has washed away hundreds of people's homes, and the flood will recede in a day or two at most, and there will be countless troubles waiting at that time.

All the big ships in Yangzhou were mobilized, all 60,000 troops were on board, and more than 1,000 ships set off one after another, pulling up the sails and heading south.

The ships were extremely fast downstream, and when the forward fleet reached the crossing of Kuazhou, the last troops had just boarded the ships.

On the riverside outside Zhenjiang City, Cheng Xun, the prefect of Zhenjiang, looked at the mighty fleet coming from the opposite bank in surprise.

Such a big thing happened in Yangzhou, which is separated by a river, and it is impossible for Cheng Xun not to know. Just this morning, a subordinate came to report that there was a big flood in the direction of Yangzhou on the opposite bank, which caused the river to swell sharply, and countless corpses rushed into the river.

Cheng Xun mobilized the officers to salvage by boat, and was shocked to find that most of them were soldiers wearing military uniforms, many of which were Tartars with money rat tail braids.

Yangzhou City was besieged for more than ten days, so he naturally knew that he also sent several ships of food and materials to reinforce Yangzhou.

Looking at the corpses of the Qing army that were salvaged, and then looking at the countless sailboats with the Ming flag, Cheng Xun's cheeks were filled with tears, the Ming Dynasty was saved!
