Daming pirates

"Forget it, you don't have enough experience in this matter. It's already good to be able to reach this point. After all, you have never been to Shandong and don't know the sea conditions there and the sea ice conditions in winter, so

What a mistake!

Fortunately, the compensation was made in time and it would not have much impact. It happened to be a blessing in disguise, allowing people from Shidao Bay to rush to Xishan Village first, which saved a lot of time!

Furthermore, the people in Fushan should handle local relations very well and not attract the attention of local officials. Even if they do attract attention, they must find ways to cover it up. Don't be stingy about spending money to clear things up.

While the sea ice there has not yet melted, we can send more ships over there during this period. Instead of sailing into Jiaozhou Bay, we can find some inconspicuous islands nearby to hide first. As soon as the sea ice starts to melt in the spring, we can

The ships immediately rushed to Xishan Village to pick up the refugees.

Furthermore, we should pay special attention to the fact that once Dengzhou falls, the Dengzhou Navy in Dengzhou Water City will probably change hands. In addition, the Dongjiang Army defenders on the islands in the Bohai Sea will probably join forces with the rebels.

Cheng Yiqi, their navy there is still very strong, and they must send a capable detachment with strong firepower to the Yangma Island area as soon as possible after the beginning of spring to set up defenses.

To prevent the rebels or the Dongjiang Army from sending naval warships to attack Yangma Island! If they dare to take action at sea, then let them taste the power of our naval cannons!

By the way, I have to add one more thing. Although Liu Butong has done a good job during this period, he obviously lacks experience in commanding so many people and dealing with such a large battle. In order to prevent mistakes, he must choose an experienced person.

The general rushed over and took charge.

The military aspect will be in charge of the new people and assisted by Liu BuTong, but Liu BuTong will continue to take charge of other things. Both parties must cooperate well! Don't make mistakes because of the struggle for power! You have to give special advice to the people sent to do this.

Explain clearly!" Yu Xiaotian did not reprimand Lin Yiyang too much, and instead arranged some things.

Lin Yiyang often breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that Yu Xiaotian is not the kind of unreasonable person. He knows how to be considerate of the people below him. If you follow this kind of person, you will be happy!

Under Yu Xiaotian's arrangement, Lin Yiyang directly intervened in various matters. Fang An immediately began to dispatch manpower, materials and ships, and started operations. The Council also allocated silver, grain and other items to cooperate.

Take action.

Just when the Sea Wolf side started to operate, another line also started to take action. The members of the Sea Wolf in the capital suddenly received an order from Yu Xiaotian. After reading this order, those in the capital

The personnel immediately began to take action. Through various connections, they began to move around the capital and invited some people to visit some important officials in the capital.

In the list of these people, the names of Zhou Yanru, Wen Tiren, Xu Guangqi, Bi Ziyan and other important officials in the court were listed one by one. Yu Xiaotian's name was once again thought of by these important officials, but they did not know it.

What's strange is that the person who mentioned this person's name does not seem to be the same as Yu Xiaotian.

There is no connection, and they are not specifically talking about this matter, they are just talking about it in casual chat. In short, these people have heard again that there is such a general military officer in Fujian who is good at fighting, and he has a team of brave soldiers who are good at fighting.

Army, all we have to do next is wait for the situation in Shandong to develop.

When Kong Youde and Li Jiucheng led the rebels to defeat Zhang Keda's troops in Dengzhou Prefecture and surrendered Zhang Tao's troops, the military strength increased again. Those Liao people who were scattered around Dengzhou City heard the news and came to surrender one after another.

This is to make the rebels grow stronger.

The rebels immediately surrounded Dengzhou City and surrounded the entire Dengzhou City. At this time, Sun Yuanhua realized that he seemed to have thought of things a little too simply, but by this time it was already too late to regret.

At this time, Sun Yuanhua also realized that these old Dongjiang troops were not available. Now even if he was determined to capture these old Dongjiang Army generals, he was already too cautious and did not dare to act rashly.

Although there are still 20,000 officers and soldiers in the city, most of them are the old Dongjiang troops that he has gathered together in the past six months, and basically more than half of the army has been handed over to the command of the old Dongjiang generals.

These people are like time bombs in the city, and they may surrender to thieves at any time. If possible, it would be best to capture them all and lock them up first, but does Sun Yuanhua dare?

If he shows a hint of distrust towards these people now, he will probably soon force the Liaodong soldiers in the city to rise up and surrender to the enemy. Therefore, Sun Yuanhua has no choice but to be torn to death on the one hand, and pretend to be right on the other.

He trusted these people very much and tried every means to appease them every day. He hoped that these old members of the Dongjiang Army would remember his kindness to them and not surrender to the enemy at this time.

But Sun Yuanhua was ultimately disappointed. Although the rebels did not launch a violent offensive after arriving at Dengzhou City, the two sides only maintained a small-scale fighting situation. It can be said that each suffered losses, but the losses were not huge.

This confrontation did not last long. Generals such as Geng Zhongming and Chen Guangfu who guarded the east gate of the city finally remembered their old friendship with Kong Youde, Li Jiucheng and others, and led their troops to open the east gate, cooperate inside and outside, and welcome the rebels into the city.

The rebels, led by Li Jiucheng and Kong Youde, swarmed in and had some fierce battles with some Shandong soldiers in the city. However, after seeing the rebels entering the city, the old Dongjiang troops in the city immediately switched sides and began to massacre everyone in the city.

Shandong soldiers and generals, as well as the gentry and common people in the city who had been offended by them, and even ordinary people in the city, became the targets of their revenge.

Suddenly, cries and howls rose into the sky in Dengzhou City. The rebel military discipline was extremely corrupt. Robbery, murder, rape of women, and arson were everywhere. The streets were almost covered with corpses, and even some small

None of the children survived and were massacred by the rebels.

The officers and soldiers in the city who refused to surrender only resisted for a short time and then declared defeat. It was said that they were the old Dongjiang troops and Liaodong people. Even many local Shandong soldiers and locals had to lower their profile and surrender in order to survive.

Rebels.

When the commander-in-chief Zhang Keda saw the city fell, he immediately killed his wife and concubines, and then hanged himself in his home in the city. This was regarded as his loyalty to the Ming Dynasty.

But Sun Yuanhua eventually fell into the hands of Kong Youde and the rebels. The reason was exactly as Yu Xiaotian expected. He was trapped by Catholic teachings and couldn't make a decision for a while. Should he commit suicide to show his loyalty or follow the rules?

Teaching does not commit suicide.

That is to say, before hesitating, the rebels had already invaded his governor's office, quickly killed and captured all his servants and servants, and controlled Sun Yuanhua, and also captured many local people.

of officials.

On the one hand, Kong Youde and Li Jiucheng were thinking of Sun Yuanhua's good treatment of them in the past, and on the other hand, they did not want to make things too tense. After all, Sun Yuanhua was a governor, and killing Sun Yuanhua would be tantamount to completely messing up the matter.

It has reached a point where there is no way to end it, and it also eliminates any possible way out for them to be recruited in the future.

If they kill Sun Yuanhua, even if they accept the imperial court's invitation in the future, they still cannot afford the crime of killing an important official of the imperial court. The imperial court can absolve their men of the crime, but it will never let them go.

Therefore, although they captured Sun Yuanhua, they did not kill him. Instead, they treated Sun Yuanhua and other officials fairly well, and tried to persuade Sun Yuanhua to join them. They were willing to support Sun Yuanhua as king and use Sun Yuanhua's reputation to win the first prize in Dengzhou.

Establish a country as capital to negotiate with the imperial court.

However, Sun Yuanhua was quite courageous after all. Although Li Jiucheng threatened and lured him, he did not agree to Li Jiucheng and Kong Youde's proposal, refused to accept it, and angrily rebuked Li Jiucheng and wanted Li Jiucheng to kill him.

However, although Li Jiucheng was very angry, he did not dare to kill Sun Yuanhua. He could only lock Sun Yuanhua in the city first and treat him well.

This time the rebels captured Dengzhou City. In addition to recruiting more than 10,000 officers and soldiers in Dengzhou City, they also obtained more than 20 Hongyi cannons, including several French artillery instructors who were arrested.

, in addition there were more than 200 old artillery pieces of various light artillery, seized in the city

It turned out that the silver used as military pay was more than 100,000 taels. In addition to the assets confiscated from the city, there were still hundreds of thousands taels, more than 3,000 war horses, and tens of thousands of dans of military rations. It was completely shaken at once, and we had a strong city.

, can serve as their stronghold and base.

In addition, they also occupied Dengzhou Water City. Due to the ice on the sea, more than a hundred warships of the Dengzhou Navy were trapped on the shore. More than 3,000 navy troops also fled and surrendered to the enemy.

The entire Dengzhou Navy also became a target of the rebels.

Of course, these warships of the Dengzhou Navy are naturally not comparable to the warships of the Southern Navy. Most of the warships here are small boats. Even the largest warship only has about two hundred materials at best.

, it is still a sand ship with a shallow draft. Even so, there are not many large ships like this. Most of them are small warships that can only carry a few dozen people.

But even so, such a naval force should not be underestimated in the Bohai Bay. The Jiannu Tatars had almost no warships to speak of, while there were many warships in Dongjiang Town. However, after Kong Youde and Li Jiucheng rebelled, they immediately

Contacted Mao Wenlong's old subordinates in Dongjiang Town.

Among them, Chen Youyou, the deputy general of Lushun in Dongjiang Town, Mao Chenglu, the commander-in-chief of Guanglu Island, and others responded one after another, wanting to echo Kong Youde and Li Jiucheng's rebels from the north and south, establish a country on their own, and support their own troops.

For a time, the entire Dongjiang Town became a swarm of chaos. The number of rebels in Dongjiang Town also grew to as many as seven or eight thousand people, controlling almost half of Dongjiang Town. The two sides agreed that as long as the Chunhai rebels

After the sea ice melts, they are ready to join forces and work together to achieve a great cause.

So for a time, Kong Youde's rebel force reached its peak. He was stationed in Dengzhou City, calling himself the marshal of the capital, and generously promoted officers to his generals, including more than a dozen generals.
