Chapter 154: Closing the Door and Beating the Dog

It was not easy for the officers and soldiers from all walks of life to control Dengzhou City, but after they desperately seized various important places, they opened the treasury and found that it was basically empty, except for finding some grain that the rebels had not had time to transfer, there was basically not much gold, silver and jewelry, but they had suffered heavy casualties after the fierce battle in the past two days, and what they gained was not enough for them to stuff their teeth.

So they realized that they had fallen into Yu Xiaotian's evil deeds again, and Yu Xiaotian gave it up, simply because he expected in advance that the rebels would transfer a large number of goods in the city to Shuicheng, so they let them go to the front and fight the rebels.

This time it's good, they can only swallow the blood in the stomach when they knock out their teeth, and the dumb people know that they are suffering from eating Coptis chinensis, and they secretly shout that they are fooled, but they also have no way to take Yu Xiaotian.

Zhu Dadian learned that Dengzhou City had been controlled by the official army, so he moved into Dengzhou City and commanded the attack on Dengzhou Water City.

Yu Xiaotian then made up a set of lies, saying that only part of his sailors had arrived, and some of them were still on the way, and the rebels had sent many warships at sea to intercept his sailors, and now his sailors could not come.

Although Zhu Dadian felt that Yu Xiaotian didn't seem to be telling the truth, he couldn't verify it, so he had to choose to believe Yu Xiaotian's words.

But it is not a way to sit and wait like this, and now someone has told him that the rebels have been digging ice outside the water gate for the past two days, and have chiseled the sea ice outside the water gate, opening up the passage to the sea, and he also guessed that the rebels will definitely flee by water, instead of waiting, it is better to conquer the water city and see if they can block the rebels in the water city.

So he immediately dispatched troops and began to arrange the attack on Shuicheng, and all the troops were ordered to go down and began to arrange the siege of the city.

Yu Xiaotian was also ordered to be responsible for the attack of a section of the city wall, attacking Shuicheng from the main city wall in the east, he sent part of the troops and began to act according to Zhu Dadian's requirements, but the rebels were arranging a retreat at this time, and the resistance was very tenacious, and he did not plan to attack desperately, and after two days of fierce fighting, Shuicheng was not able to be conquered by them.

However, when they were ready to continue the assault, a large number of rebels boarded the ship overnight and began to rush out of the water city overnight, fleeing towards Long Island.

By the time the official army invaded Shuicheng at dawn, the rebels in Shuicheng had already fled, leaving only some of the old, weak, sick and disabled who had been abandoned by them, and as for the goods, there was basically nothing left, as long as they could be loaded and transported away, the rebels were loaded on the ship and taken away from Shuicheng.

Although the official army was considered to have won a great victory in this battle, the fly in the ointment was that the official army did not annihilate all the rebels in Dengzhou City, which made Zhu Dadian sigh a little, but he was helpless.

He also knew that once the rebels escaped into the sea, it would not be easy to block them again, even if Yu Xiaotian's sailors arrived at this time, he was afraid that he would not be able to completely annihilate the rebels.

After thinking about it for a while, he thought that the rebels had no way to escape at the moment, but to retreat to Dongjiang Town, so he immediately sent people to Dongjiang Town in a small boat, and ordered the current Dongjiang Town General Huang Long to strictly defend Dongjiang Town, and once he found that the rebel fleet was trying to land in Dongjiang Town, he would immediately surround and pursue him, so as to eliminate the rebels in Dongjiang Town, and not let the rebels sit on the side of Dongjiang Town again.

After arranging this matter, he immediately sent someone to Jingshi Zhuojie, anyway, this time he basically solved the trouble of the Denglai rebels completely, and he could finally explain to the emperor.

The news rushed to the Beijing division at a speed of tens of miles per hour, and two days later, the news that the official army had recovered the entire Dengzhou City was reported to the palace of the Beijing division.

For the Denglai Rebellion, Chongzhen, who has been worried for more than a year, was really overjoyed after learning the news, and after reading the battle report, he learned that it was Yu Xiaotian who led the army to attack Dengzhou City first, and suddenly Longyan was happy, and immediately issued an order to grant Yu Xiaotian as the general of Dingguo.

Originally, this kind of thing to confer the title of scattered official, even if it is given, it is generally given to a general of Zhenguo first, and when he is promoted to one level, he is the general of Dingguo, and then he is promoted to one level, he is the general of Fengguo and the army of honor, but Chongzhen was in a good mood this time, and he actually directly gave Yu Xiaotian the title of General of Dingguo, which can be regarded as a special award.

In addition, Chongzhen ordered Zhu Dadian to restore the war-stricken ground in Denglai and clear the remnants of the rebel army.

However, they did not receive any news of the rebels from Huanglong, Dongjiang Town, after the rebels escaped from Dengzhou Water City, it was like a stone sinking into the sea, and there was no more news, and after a long time, there were rumors that after the rebels fled into the sea, they did not immediately rush to Dongjiang Town by boat, but first temporarily stopped at Turtle Island in the Miaodao Islands, which was later called Dangji Island.

When the rebels escaped from Dengzhou City, they originally wanted to retreat to Changdao, which was not too far from Dengzhou City, to settle down, but when they arrived on Changdao, they found that Changdao had been captured by Yu's army's sailors, and saw that Yu's army's sailors had a large number of warships.

Then they just arrived at Turtle Island, and before they could breathe, a large number of Yujia army sailors chased to Turtle Island, Kong Youde had no choice but to lead his troops to fight with them at sea, but the rebel sailors were not the opponents of Yu's army sailors at all, and after being sunk many boats one after another, the rebels had to flee back to the island.

As a result, the rebel warships abandoned on the shore or in the bay were all destroyed or captured by the Yu family's army, and more than 10,000 rebels led by Kong Youde were trapped on Turtle Island and became turtles in the urn.

Yu's army and sailors surrounded Turtle Island, but did not attack the island immediately, but after a stalemate for a few days, they sent someone to negotiate with Kong Youde.

Kong Youde knew that he was finished, and now he was trapped on Turtle Island, so that the sky should not be called the earth, and there was no way to enter the earth, so he could only let others slaughter him, so he had to negotiate with the people sent by the Yu family's army.

Kong Youde's requirements were not high, he just hoped to save his life and let Yu Jiajun let him live, to which Lin Yiyang, who was sent by Yu Xiaotian, immediately agreed.

Yu Xiaotian's request is very simple, that is, to ask Kong Youde to give up resistance and lead the rebels to surrender to him, pay attention! Lin Yiyang said very clearly and very clearly that it was Kong Youde who led the rebels to surrender to Yu Xiaotian, not to the official court.

At first, Kong Youde was still confused, thinking that surrendering to Xiaotian was different from surrendering to the government and the court, but Lin Yiyang repeatedly emphasized that he was surrendering to Xiaotian, not the court, and Kong Youde understood it, so he immediately agreed.

Because Kong Youde is also a smart person, if he can't even understand this, then he will really become a fool, this surrender to Xiaotian and surrender to the imperial court is not a concept.

Now if he surrenders to the imperial court and is sent to Beijing, he will definitely be cut by the current emperor with a thousand knives, and he can no longer die.

But surrendering to Yu Xiaotian, it's different, he and Yu Xiaotian don't have a deep hatred, although the two armies in front of the two armies fought each other, each with damage, but this is a battle on the battlefield, it is impossible not to die, not to mention that for such a long time, Yu Xiaotian rode him to beat, he only had to be beaten, Yu Xiaotian didn't have any hatred for him.

Now Yu Xiaotian's subordinates have assured him that as long as he surrenders, he can be guaranteed not to die, so what else can he hesitate about?

As for Kong Youde's initial desire to continue to control his rebels, stay in the army, and serve Xiaotian in the future, this idea was categorically rejected by Lin Yiyang.

Lin Yiyang's reason is very sufficient, he Kong Youde is now a wanted criminal minister of the imperial court, even if he surrenders to Yu Xiaotian, Yu Xiaotian does not dare to use him now, at best, it is to change his identity, find a place for him to live secretly, and ensure that it is not bad to not harm him, and it is absolutely impossible to keep him to continue to lead the army.

In addition to him, those rebel generals under him must also leave the army, Yu Xiaotian can promise not to kill them, leaving them a way to live, so that they can live.

Kong Youde thought about it and went back to discuss this matter with his subordinates, but at first his subordinates were not happy, thinking that if they had no soldiers, they would be nothing, and this military power could not be handed over in any case, otherwise after they surrendered, they would become meat on the throne and be slaughtered by others.

Kong Youde was very hesitant for this, and wanted to refuse Yu Xiaotian's request, but Lin Yiyang did not urge him, and waited for him at sea for three days, and after the three days were up, Kong Youde had not yet made a decision, so more than 30 warships of various types of the navy surrounded Turtle Island and began to shell the rebels' barracks on the island.

Dozens of ships loaded with a large number of artillery, many of these guns heavy naval guns, extremely powerful, the range is not close, in an instant poured a large amount of ammunition towards the rebel camp, hit the rebels on their backs, forced the rebels to escape from the barracks, flee to the island mountains and forests to hide.

The rebels now know the requirements of the Yu family army, and they secretly hate these officials for not considering their life and death, only caring about themselves, and refusing to give up their military power, so they are going to be beaten by the Yu family army here, so they began to brew a riot, simply kill these rebel generals, they surrendered to Xiaotian and pulled down, who are they not soldiers with?

What's more, they all heard that they followed Yu Xiaotian as a soldier, and they could eat very well, look at the soldiers and generals of Yu's army, that face, that body, they must have eaten very well.

Moreover, Lin Yiyang took advantage of the chaos and released a group of rebel soldiers who had been captured by them before, let them infiltrate the rebels, and described to these rebels what they saw and heard in their home camp.
