Chapter 610: The rebellion is put down

In the summer, Nan sent people to simply repair and strengthen the sails of the remaining Fu ships of the rebels, and all those that could move slowly moved to Long Island under the supervision of artillery, and all the ships that could not be repaired were sunk on the spot.

After arriving on Long Island, the surviving rebels, under the watchful eye of the rifle bayonets of the soldiers of the Qiongzhou battalion, obediently threw away all their weapons, disembarked and landed on the island, and then, according to the orders of the other side, held their heads in their hands and squatted on the beach.

In the summer, Nan ordered people to screen the remnants of the rebels to see if any higher-ranking generals survived. Soon, under the identification of the rebel soldiers, Wang Ziden was screened out and escorted to Xia Nan.

Wang Zideng also dealt with Xia Nan back then, and the two sides knew each other. Xia Nan asked him: "They are all old acquaintances, and they don't talk nonsense with you, how many people survived?" ”

Wang Zideng replied in a low voice: "After Chen Guangfu, he has never gone to sea; Chen sometimes died in Laizhou; Li Jiucheng died at the hands of your subordinates; Geng Zhongming died two years ago, Kong Youde and Li Yingyuan did not know where to go, and they may have fled while taking advantage of the chaos; I'm afraid I'm the only one left now......"

Xia Nan only knew Li Jiucheng and his son, Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming, Wang Zideng, and Chen Guangfu, and the rest were not familiar with them, as long as Li Jiucheng, the spiritual leader of the rebels, died, he didn't care too much about the rest, but unfortunately Kong Youde didn't find it, and it was estimated that he jumped on the boat and ran. The future Sanshun King of the Qing Dynasty, in addition to the Zhishun King Shang Kexi who is still in Dongjiang Town at the moment, and Geng Zhongming, the King of Huaishun, was killed by Yang Youji with an arrow as early as when he escaped from Dengzhou, and he didn't know whether Kong Youde was able to escape to Houjin, surrender to Huang Taiji like another time and space history, and was named King Gongshun.

However, as long as the Hongyi cannon does not flow into Houjin, it doesn't matter if Kong Youde escapes, but there is just one more traitor. He asked Wang Zideng, "Did you load all the Hongyi cannons in the city on the ship when you fled, and where are you now?" ”

Wang Zideng looked back at the dilapidated fortune ship on the sea, and replied: "Kong Youde said that these cannons are useful, and they are all brought with him, but they are all loaded on a warship of four hundred materials, and the small boat cannot carry them. More than twenty cannons, it is estimated that half of them have sunk into the sea, and the rest may be ...... on these sunken warships."

Xia Nan immediately ordered someone to board the ship to count, and sure enough, among the remaining dozen or so 400 warships, eight Hongyi cannons were found, and the rest were missing. The dozen or so ships that escaped just now were all small lucky ships, and if what Wang Zideng said was true, then the other dozen or so cannons were estimated to have sunk to the bottom of the sea. The purpose of this ambush was basically achieved, not a single cannon was left to Huang Taiji, and the only thing worth worrying about was whether Kong Youde escaped with the craftsmen.

He asked Wang Zideng: "Did the craftsmen who cast cannons in Dengzhou City bring them on board?" ”

"Kong Youde said that these craftsmen were useful, and they all brought them on the ship......

Xia Nan asked: "How many craftsmen are there?" ”

Wang Zideng was stunned for a moment, and then cried with a sad face: "I really don't know this, it's all handled by Kong Youde......

"Rubbish!" Xia Nan took a sip, and then said to Yang Youji: "You take someone to screen the rebels again, find out all the craftsmen, and count the number of people." ”

The soldiers of the guard sifted through the ranks of less than 1,000 rebels, cleared out about 20 craftsmen, and when asked, they learned that they were all government-run workshops in Dengzhou City that were responsible for casting cannons.

Xia Nan personally interrogated these craftsmen: "How many of you are there, are you all in the same boat, and have you escaped?" ”

The craftsmen replied: "This military master, there are about 30 of us in total, all in one big boat, a few of them were killed by the cannon just now, and a few fell into the sea in the chaos, and now we are all left alive, all of them are here, no one escapes, there is no chance at all." ”

Summer Nan breathed a sigh of relief: "Very good. cleaned up, and then escorted the men back to Dengzhou. According to his estimate, without the blessing of artillery, Dengzhou, which has a weak defensive force, should have been defeated at this time.

As it turned out, he was right.

The sea is very lively here, and the main city of Dengzhou is naturally not idle. Zhu Dadian concluded that the garrison of Dengzhou was empty, and ordered the army to attack with all its might, and for a time the west gate, south gate, and east gate were in an emergency, and Chen Guangfu only had more than 2,000 people on hand, and he couldn't hold it at all after the force was diluted, and he only lasted half an hour, and the east gate was declared lost.

At this time, it is too late to retreat, Chen Guangfu is not stupid, rather than die in the chaos of the army, it is better to surrender alone, maybe he can save his life. So he ordered the south gate to be opened and led hundreds of his soldiers out of the city to surrender to Zhu Dadian.

If it was in the other two gates, those Qiu Ba would have made meritorious contributions, and maybe they would have taken advantage of the chaos to cut Chen Guangfu and add a heavy stroke to the credit book. But the south gate happened to face the large camp of the Chinese army, and Zhu Dadian, who was in charge of the Chinese army, was a civilian official, and he was very useful for the drama of accepting surrender, so he gladly accepted Chen Guangfu's surrender and entered Dengzhou from the south gate in a dignified manner.

At this point, the imperial court completely recovered Shandong. This rebellion, which began at the end of the fourth year of Chongzhen, lasted more than two years, and was put down in September of the seventh year of Chongzhen.

After Zhu Dadian entered Dengzhou, the first thing was to appease the soldiers and civilians in the city and eliminate the remnants of the rebels.

The next day, Xia Nan entered the city to ask for a meeting, and brought with him the captured prince Deng and nearly a thousand rebel prisoners.

"This battle is all about Futai's strategy, the last general will not disgrace the mission, the battle of Long Island won a complete victory, except for Kong Youde's life and death is unknown, the rest of the rebels are all headed, and the thief will be captured!"

In fact, this ambush battle has nothing to do with Zhu Dadian, from spying on intelligence to transferring troops, it was all handled by the Qiongzhou battalion, but in the summer, Nan Qiang gave him a hat of strategic planning and good command, and Zhu Dadian was disrespectful. As soon as he took Dengzhou City and learned the good news, Zhu Dadian's mouth was almost closed, and the calm that he had been happy and angry in the past was gone.

"Very good, General Xia Shen is really a leader among the generals, the land battle is powerful, and the water battle is so sharp. This time, the recovery of Dengzhou and the awarding of the head of the rebels, you should take the first credit. ”

Taking advantage of Zhu Dadian's high interest, Xia Nan took the opportunity to ask: "There is a sentence in the end that I don't know if to ask or not......

Zhu Dadian said with a smile: "If you have something to ask, Ben Fu knows everything and says everything." ”

"If the patrol is rewarded for meritorious deeds by Xie Sanbin, how many levels can the official be promoted?"

Zhu Dadian was stunned for a moment, Xie Sanbin was a civilian official who assisted him in quelling the rebellion, and his credit was indispensable, but was this Shandong Inspector promoted to the imperial history and a Guangdong general in the south of the summer can't beat the eight poles?

He asked suspiciously, "What is your relationship with Xie Xun?" ”
