Chapter 154: Close the door and beat the dog

The various officers and soldiers finally took control of Dengzhou City, but after they fought tooth and nail to seize various key areas, they opened the warehouse and found that it was basically empty. Except for some food that the rebels had no time to move,

Basically, they didn't find much gold, silver and jewelry, but they had suffered heavy casualties after two days of fierce fighting. This little gain was not enough to fill their teeth.

Then they realized that they had been tricked by Yu Xiaotian again. Yu Xiaotian didn't give in. He simply expected that the rebels would transfer a large amount of property in the city to Shuicheng, so they were allowed to arrive.

There was a deadly fight with the rebels from the front.

It was better this time. Even if they had their teeth knocked out, they could only swallow the blood into their stomachs. The mute knew it was hard to eat Coptis chinensis, and they all secretly cried out that they had been cheated, but there was nothing they could do against Yu Xiaotian.

Zhu Dadian learned that Dengzhou City had been controlled by the army, so he moved into Dengzhou City and commanded the attack on Dengzhou Water City. Zhu Dadian also asked Yu Xiaotian why his navy had not blocked Dengzhou until now.

Watergate, close the door for the rebels and beat the dogs.

Yu Xiaotian then made up a lie, saying that only part of his navy had arrived, and some of the navy were still on the way. Moreover, the rebels had sent many warships at sea to intercept his navy.

Now his navy can't get through.

Although Zhu Dadian felt that Yu Xiaotian was not telling the truth, he could not verify it, so he had no choice but to believe Yu Xiaotian's words.

But sitting and waiting like this is not an option. Now someone has told him that the rebels have been chipping away at the water gate in the past two days. They have cut through the sea ice outside the water gate and opened up the channel to the sea. He can also guess that the rebels

We must escape by water. Instead of waiting, we might as well conquer the water city as soon as possible and see if we can block the rebels in part of the water city.

So he immediately mobilized his troops and generals and began to make arrangements to attack Shuicheng. All ministries took orders and began to make arrangements for the siege.

Yu Xiaotian was also ordered to take charge of the attack on a section of the city wall, attacking Shuicheng from the main city wall in the east. He sent some troops and started to act according to Zhu Dadian's request. However, the rebels were making arrangements to retreat at the moment, and the resistance was very tenacious. In addition, he

There was no plan to launch a desperate attack. After two days of fierce fighting, Shuicheng was not captured by them.

However, when they were preparing to continue their attack, a large number of rebels boarded the ship overnight and began to rush out of Shuicheng by boat overnight and fled towards Changdao.

When the officers and soldiers entered Shuicheng at dawn, all the rebels in Shuicheng had fled, leaving only some old, weak, sick and disabled people who had been abandoned by them. As for the property, basically nothing was left behind.

The rebels loaded all the items that could be loaded onto ships and took them away from Shuicheng.

Although the officers and soldiers achieved a great victory in this battle, the only drawback was that the officers and soldiers did not annihilate all the rebels in Dengzhou City. Zhu Dadian could not help but sigh with regret, but there was nothing he could do about it.

He also knew that once the rebels escaped into the sea, it would not be easy to stop them. Even if Yu Xiaotian's navy arrived at this time, they might not be able to completely wipe out the rebels.

After thinking about it for a while, he thought that the rebels had no way to escape and had to retreat to Dongjiang Town. So he immediately sent people to Dongjiang Town in a small boat and ordered Huang Long, the current commander-in-chief of Dongjiang Town, to go to Dongjiang Town.

The town is strictly guarded. Once it is discovered that the rebel fleet is trying to land in Dongjiang Town, it will immediately pursue and intercept the rebels in order to eliminate the rebels in Dongjiang Town and not allow the rebels to gain strength again in Dongjiang Town.

After arranging this matter, he immediately sent people to the capital to report the victory. In any case, this time he basically successfully solved the trouble of the Denglai rebels, and he could finally give an account to the emperor.

The news rushed to the capital at a speed of dozens of miles per hour. Two days later, the news that the army had conquered the entire Dengzhou City was reported to the palace of the capital.

Chongzhen, who had been worried about the Denglai Rebellion for more than a year, was really overjoyed after learning the news. After reading the battle report, he learned that Yu Xiaotian led his army to attack Dengzhou City first.

Immediately Long Yan was overjoyed and immediately decreed that Xiao Tian should be appointed as the general of Dingguo.

Originally, when granting the title of casual official like this, even if it is given, it usually has to be given to a general who governs the country first. When he is promoted to one level, he is a general of Dingguo. When he is promoted to another level, he is a general of serving the country and honoring the army.

, but Chongzhen was in such a good mood this time that he actually gave Yu Xiaotian the title of General Dingguo, which was considered a special commendation.

In addition, Chongzhen ordered Zhu Dadian to restore the war-stricken ground in Denglai as soon as possible and eliminate the remaining rebel troops. I will not say more about this matter.

However, they have not received any news about the rebels from Huanglong in Dongjiang Town. After the rebels escaped from Dengzhou Shuicheng, they seemed to have disappeared into the sea. There was no news again. After a long time, they finally

Some people rumored 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 among the Miaodao Islands, which was later known as Tuoji Island.

When the rebels escaped from Dengzhou City, they originally wanted to retreat to Changdao, which was not far from Dengzhou City. However, when they arrived at Changdao, they found that Changdao had been occupied by the Yu Jiajun navy.

Captured, and seeing that the Yu Jiajun naval warships were large and numerous, the rebels were newly defeated and had no intention of fighting, so they immediately fled to Turtle Island.

Then, as soon as they arrived at Turtle Island, before they could take a breather, a large number of Yu Jiajun navy chased them to Turtle Island. In desperation, Kong Youde led his troops to fight a fierce battle at sea. However, the rebel navy was not Yu Jiajun at all.

After the navy's opponents were killed and sunk many ships one after another, the rebels had no choice but to flee back to the island.

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

The Yu Jiajun Navy surrounded Turtle Island, but did not attack the island immediately. Instead, after a stalemate for several days, they sent someone to negotiate with Kong Youde.

Kong Youde knew that he was doomed and was now trapped on Turtle Island. The reason was that the sky should not be called and the earth was not working. There was no way to enter the sky and no door to the earth. He could only let others slaughter him, so he had to answer the call and go with the Yu family army.

People negotiate.

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

Yu Xiaotian's request was very simple, that is, Kong Youde gave up resistance and led the rebels to surrender to him. Pay attention! Lin Yiyang made it very clear and understood that it was Kong Youde who led the rebels to surrender to Yu Xiaotian, not the government and the court.

.

At first, Kong Youde was confused, thinking that surrendering to Xiaotian was different from surrendering to the government. However, Lin Yiyang repeatedly emphasized that it was surrendering to Xiaotian, not the court. Only then did Kong Youde understand, and he immediately agreed.

.

Because Kong Youde is also a smart man. If he can't even understand this, he will really become a fool. Surrendering to Xiaotian and surrendering to the imperial court are not the same concepts.

Now if he surrenders to the imperial court and is escorted to the capital, he will definitely be chopped into pieces by the current emperor, and he will never die again. He killed countless people during the Denglai Rebellion, and both the government and the public can say that he is a

I hate him so much that wanting to live forever can be said to be a dream.

But surrendering to Yu Xiaotian is different. He and Yu Xiaotian do not have a deep hatred. Although the two armies fought before the formation, each suffered injuries, but this is a battle on the battlefield. It is impossible not to die, let alone such a

For a long time, Yu Xiaotian was the one who beat him on his back, and he only deserved to be beaten. Yu Xiaotian couldn't say he had any hatred towards him.

Now Yu Xiaotian's men have given him a guarantee that as long as he surrenders, they can protect him from death. So what else can he hesitate?

As for Kong Youde's initial plan to continue to control his rebels, stay in the army, and later surrender to Xiaotian, this idea was flatly rejected by Lin Yiyang.

Lin Yiyang's reasons are very good. He, Kong Youde, is now a criminal wanted by the court. Even if he surrenders to Yu Xiaotian, Yu Xiaotian does not dare to use him now. At best, he can change his identity and find a place for him to sneak around.

It would be good to survive as long as you don't harm him, but it is absolutely impossible for him to continue to lead the army.

In addition to his inability to do so, the rebel generals under him must also leave the army. Yu Xiaotian can promise not to kill them and leave them a way to survive.

Kong Youde thought about it and went back to discuss the matter with his men. At first, his men were not happy. They felt that if they had no soldiers, they would be nothing. This military power could not be handed over under any circumstances, otherwise they would surrender.

After that, he became the meat of his family and was slaughtered by others.

Kong Youde was very hesitant about this and wanted to refuse Yu Xiaotian's request. Lin Yiyang did not press him and waited for him at sea for three days. After the three days were up, Kong Youde had not yet made a decision, so the navy made more than thirty

Warships of various types surrounded Turtle Island and began shelling the rebel barracks on the island.

Dozens of ships were loaded with a large number of artillery. Many of these artillery pieces were heavy naval guns, which were extremely powerful and had a short range. They poured a large amount of ammunition towards the rebel camp in an instant, knocking the rebels off their feet and forcing them to retreat.

He had no choice but to escape from the barracks and take refuge in the mountains and forests of the island.

The rebels now know the requirements of the Yu Jiajun, and they secretly hate that these officials do not consider their life and death, but only care about themselves and refuse to give up their military power, causing them to be severely beaten by the Yu Jiajun here.

Then they began to brew a riot, and simply killed these rebel generals. They surrendered to Xiaotian and pulled them down. Who should they serve as soldiers instead of soldiers?

What's more, they have all heard that if you serve as a soldier with Yu Xiaotian, you can eat very well. Look at the faces and bodies of the soldiers in Yu's army, they must be very well fed.

Moreover, Lin Yiyang took advantage of the chaos and released a group of rebel soldiers they had captured previously, allowing them to infiltrate among the rebels and vividly describe to them everything they saw and heard in the Yujia military camp.
