Chapter 369: Eliminate Evil

Xu Hongji, Duke of Wei, and Zhang Gongwei, Marquis of Longping, both accompanied Zhu Dadian to inspect the whole city of Dengzhou, and hundreds of civil officials and generals of various armies flocked to each other, but there was no trace of Zhu Daolin, the first hero of Dengzhou City.

Zhu Dadian, who was in a complicated mood, had sent people to look for Zhu Daolin twice before, but was told that Zhu Daolin was at sea to comfort the officers and soldiers of the Navy Division who had worked hard and could not return.

Two o'clock in the afternoon.

Zhu Dadian, Chen Yingyuan, Xu Hongji, Zhang Gongwei and other more than 100 civil and military personnel, escorted by thousands of officers and soldiers, came to the scarred and unrecognizable water city.

Gazing at the more than 20 warships that had been overturned by artillery and the large number of broken wooden planks floating on the water, Zhu Dadian and the others couldn't help but be deeply shocked by the powerful firepower of the Jiangnan Naval Division.

A five-grade official quietly walked behind Chen Yingyuan and whispered a few words, Chen Yingyuan suddenly realized, and immediately walked in front of Zhu Dadian, Xu Hongji and Zhang Gongwei, who were talking in a low voice, and laughed:

"Congratulations on the victory of the Duke of Wei! Haha......"

"Denglai Sailor has always been the standing army relied on by the imperial court, keeping more than 300 large and small ships, shouldering the important task of defending the Beijing-Tianjin gateway and transporting grain and grass for the Ningyuan army all the year round, due to the treacherous plan of the rebels by mistake, he was caught off guard by the rebels and took away more than 240 large and small warships, only more than 60 warships were spared by running around, and now they can only berth in Tianjin Port, looking forward to the recovery of Dengzhou."

"A few days ago, there were still more than 220 large and small ships inside and outside the water city, in addition to the more than 20 ships sunk by the Jiangnan Navy Division, and more than 40 old boats moored on the east shore now, it stands to reason that there should be about 150 warships and cargo ships! But adults can take a look at ......."

Xu Hongji and Zhang Gongwei looked at each other, they never thought that Chen Yingyuan would ask him for a warship, knowing that a decent warship must have been towed away by Zhu Daolin, but he didn't know how to deal with it.

Although Zhu Daolin has always been generous. But that's to his own people, and he has never been generous to outsiders...... When things are in his hands, it is even more difficult to get them back than to ascend to the sky.

Zhu Dadian's face was gloomy, he pondered for a moment, turned to Xu Hongji and Zhang Gongwei, and asked with a smile, "What do the two lords think?" ”

"This ...... I think it's better to wait for General Zhu to come back from his inspection. Let's talk to him. Xu Hongji could only answer ambiguously.

Zhu Dadian's eyes rolled, he glanced left and right, and asked curiously: "Just after the battle, where can General Zhu go?" ”

Xu Hongji pointed to the sea to the north: "Long Island, now the Jiangnan Navy Division has temporarily settled there, it is estimated that General Zhu has gone to Long Island at this time, and he should be able to rush back before evening." ”

Zhu Dadian listened to the silence for a moment, and then laughed: "Okay! It's not too late to see you at the celebration banquet in the evening...... After the dinner, I had to consult the two lords to see how to draw up the recital. Report to the emperor and the court as soon as possible, haha! ”

"That's exactly how it should be."

Xu Hongji and Zhang Gongwei readily agreed, but they scolded Zhu Dadian's ancestor in their hearts.

At this time, Long Island is more lively than ever.

More than 20 rebel generals, including the rebel general Geng Zhongming, Li Jiucheng's son Li Yingyuan, the former Dengzhou guerrilla general Chen Guangfu, and the former deputy generals of Dongjiang Town, Mao Chenglu, Mao Chengfu, and Mao Youshun, were all taken out and held in solitary confinement.

More than 6,460 craftsmen who can guarantee each other have been sent to four transport ships, escorted by two 500-ton warships, and are the first to open Weihaiwei.

The remaining 8,600 rebel soldiers. Under bayonet coercion on 3,000 Marines, the second round of screening began again.

"The general has an order. As long as the officers and soldiers of the former Dengzhou Navy Division change their past wrongs, they can retain their military status and be dealt with leniently! The general has ordered that as long as the officers and men of the former Dengzhou Naval Division change their past wrongs, they can retain their military status and be dealt with leniently......"

After a few rounds of shouting from the guards. Ten minutes later, 2,100 men of the Dengzhou Naval Division were picked out and immediately transferred to the south of the harbor, where they were escorted by a group of new officers and men to board the 147 large and small ships that had been captured.

It didn't take long. Several guards came to the front of the remaining 6,100 or so soldiers again, and announced loudly: "The original Dengzhou defenders are out!" ”

A few minutes later, the 1,700 soldiers of the original Dengzhou guards were immediately led to an 800-ton cargo ship anchored in the port, boarded the ship in an orderly manner, and set sail with the more than 2,100 Dengzhou sailors in front of them, heading straight for Liugong Island, where the Qingdao Weixin Army was about to be stationed.

What awaits them next will be another rigorous and meticulous identity screening, and the perpetrators will be escorted to Yingzhou for three years of hard labor - digging sulfur mines.

Seeing all the craftsmen and most of the soldiers leaving by boat, the remaining 4,370 or so rebel soldiers in Dongjiang Town were finally frightened, but in the face of the shining bayonets of 3,000 marines and the flintlock pistols that would be fired mercilessly at any time, none of the rebel soldiers dared to act rashly.

Li Yuming, who was in charge of the screening work, finally issued the last clear order, and several personal guards returned to the frightened more than 4,370 Dongjiang Town soldiers and announced loudly: "I am willing to join the headquarters of General Huanglong and continue to stand up desperately with the Manchu Tartars!" ”

Nearly half of the soldiers immediately stood up, and were soon isolated, sent to the southern pier to board the ship, and went to Weihai to rest and recuperate.

The remaining 2,500 or so soldiers crouched on the ground, trembling and waiting for an unknown fate.

The surrounding marines received the order and quickly divided the more than 2,500 soldiers into two and put them on two 700-ton cargo ships transporting livestock.

The best preserved brick house at the foot of the mountain.

After arranging the task, Zhu Daolin and more than 20 admirals walked out of the main hall and entered the courtyard, Zhang Deyi immediately came to Zhu Daolin with a scorched head:

After repeated identification, it was confirmed that it was Kong Youde himself! Big brother, you see, he was shot in this position in the middle of the person, and the projectile entered from the front, and when he came out, he opened half of the back of his head, but his face was still vaguely recognizable, and more than a dozen rebel generals were taken out to identify him in turn, and they all said that it was Kong Youde. ”

Zhu Daolin looked at it carefully for a while, and then gestured slightly to Guo Zhongjun behind him.

Guo Zhongjun immediately walked to the west wing, and quickly dragged out Geng Zhongming, who was tying his hands behind his back and shouting, and with a wave of his sword in front of all the generals, Geng Zhongming's huge head suddenly rolled to the ground, and two blood arrows rushed out from the neat incision above the neck cavity, which made all the generals shocked.

"Deyi, put the two heads in one place, tomorrow morning, a few of you will be responsible for escorting more than 20 rebel generals and two heads to Tianjin by speedboat, and then change carriages and rush to the capital to present prisoners to the emperor." Zhu Daolin commanded.

Zhang Deyi was overjoyed when he heard this, ran over and picked up Geng Zhongming's head, and put it with Kong Youde's head.

Several of the guards lifted the headless corpse and walked away quickly, leaving the courtyard gate and turning south, throwing the corpse into the icy sea beneath the rocks.
