"Lord Wang, the Ming army suddenly attacked Jiaozhou City in the morning of the 12th, Jiaozhou City has been lost, and General Li of Qinghua City has written an urgent document to the prince!" The sergeant who reported the news thought that Li Li had not heard what he had said earlier, so he raised his voice and raised the official document in his hand upward.

Li Li came back to his senses this time and waved his hand at the official document, and a rebel general closest to the sergeant hurriedly took the official document and handed it to him.

"Bastard!" After reading the contents of the official document, Li Li suddenly became furious, slapped the table hard, and threw the official document in his hand to the ground.

Seeing this, the rebel generals at the scene all showed suspicious expressions, and they didn't know what angered Li Li so much.

Ruan Yan walked over, picked up the official document on the ground and looked at it, and immediately sighed helplessly, according to Li Ge's report, the reason why Jiaozhou City was lost was because a rebel general in charge of the southern city of Jiaozhou City defected to the enemy, and opened the city gate in the middle of the night to let the Ming army in, causing the rebels in their sleep to be caught off guard, and then fell into passivity, with many casualties.

The rebels guarding Jiaozhou City can be said to be veterans of the rebellion with Li Li, and they are deeply trusted by Li Li, who never thought that anyone would betray him anyway.

However, fortunately, under the desperate fight between Li Hai and Cai Fu, Li Li's family was able to get out of Jiaozhou City, and they should have arrived in Qinghua City by now.

"Pass on the king's military order, pull out the village and set up camp, and return to Jiaozhi to beat the Ming army!" Under the gaze of everyone, Li Li gave an order in a loud voice with an expressionless face, and his expression was a little hideous because he was too excited.

At this moment, Li Li was extremely annoyed in his heart, if he hadn't been bewitched by Li Yuntian's rhetoric more than a year ago, then the Ming army would have been driven out of Jiaozhi, and there would not be this passive situation today.

Li Li knew very well in his heart that Jiaozhi was the foundation of his foothold in comparison with Champong, and as Jiaozhou City was conquered, the rebels in Jiaozhi would not be able to resist the attack of the Ming army, and the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Lord Wang, you must not withdraw your troops at this time." Without waiting for everyone at the scene to answer, Ruan Yan hurriedly stepped forward and said to Li Li, "Now that the morale of our army is strong, once the army withdraws, it will definitely affect the morale of the army. ”

"Lord Wang, the lower officials also mean this, and it is taboo for soldiers to withdraw troops in battle." As soon as Ruan Yan's words fell, Li Zhi, who was standing on the side, opened his mouth and agreed, and did not agree to withdraw troops to reinforce ** toe now.

Obviously, the sudden withdrawal of troops would cause unnecessary panic among the rebels, and it would also make the soldiers feel disappointed, after all, the city of Duohai was already close at hand, and one of the rebels' hands could be said to have touched the gold, silver and jewels in the city, and the withdrawal at this time was undoubtedly a heavy blow to morale, and it would also cause dissatisfaction among the soldiers, which in turn shook the morale of the army.

"Attack the city early tomorrow morning, and be sure to take Duohai City within two days!" Li Li frowned when he heard this, feeling that Ruan Yan and Li only had a point, and then gave the order with a gloomy face.

"Yes!" The rebel generals at the scene all bowed to Li Li and replied in unison, a breath of slaughter permeated the scene, everyone knew that the situation of the rebels was very dangerous now, and if they could not withdraw from the battlefield of Zhancheng in time, the base camp of Jiaozhi would be wiped out by the Ming army.

Early the next morning, according to Li Li's previous arrangement, the rebels launched a fierce offensive against Duohai City under the supervision of generals at all levels, and both sides were killed in darkness and blood.

The fierce fighting continued from morning to evening, and unlike the previous siege, the rebel generals urged the rebel soldiers to attack the city walls, regardless of casualties.

Finally, after a terrible battle, the rebels broke through the northern city of Dohai at midnight, and the soldiers rushed into the city with their weapons in their hands and shouting, their eyes full of greed

In an instant, the fire of Duohai City was everywhere, the cry shook the sky, and the rebel soldiers frantically burned and looted in the city, killing innocent and **** women, making the once prosperous Duohai City become a hell on earth.

Seeing that the general trend had gone, the Grand Chief of Dogesa had no choice but to abandon the city, gathered the team to fight a bloody way from the eastern city, and escaped from the city of many seas.

The rebels of the Great Chief of Dogesa who fled did not pay attention to it, but flocked into the city of Dogasa to loot, for fear of being left behind.

"Alas!" Seeing that the rebels were not pursuing him, Dogesa turned his horse and turned to look in the direction of Takai City, and when he saw that the city was on fire, he couldn't help but close his eyes in pain.

It is conceivable that after this sack by the Jiaozhi rebels, the prosperous scenery of Duohai City will no longer exist, and it will be difficult to recover in a short time.

Then, Dogesa shook his head, put his legs between the horse's belly, and led his soldiers, ministers, and family members to disappear into the night, preparing to escape to a dock on the coast by boat to Xin'an Province in Cochin.

Xin'an Mansion is the territory of the Ming army, and a Da Ming Naval Division of more than 10,000 people is stationed, so it is very safe there, and it is not so easy for the rebels to capture Xin'an Province.

It is worth mentioning that Li Yuntian transferred more than 27,000 people from Nanzhili, and they are all the family members of the Daming Water Division, and they were transferred from Nanzhili twice.

Among them, 15,000 people were sent by Li Yuntian to escort the convoys that were engaged in overseas trade in the Nanyang countries, and Jiaozhi arrived first, and the other 12,000 people arrived in Jiaozhi only two months ago, and were stationed at Yuntun Port to conduct naval combat drills.

In fact, strictly speaking, the Ming Dynasty did not have a real sense of the sailor troops, Zheng He's first six voyages to the West when the sailors were soldiers and military households drawn from the coastal guards, thus forming the Ming Sailors troops, but their relationship is still subordinate to the local guards.

Although the Ming Dynasty has no naval battles to fight now, the task of sending an envoy to the West has not been put on hold, so even though the Ming Dynasty has not sent an envoy to the West for seven years, those soldiers and military households who have been transferred still have to train in their respective guards according to the training plan formulated.

In particular, Zheng He, who was the eunuch guarding Nanjing, paid great attention to the training of these soldiers and military households, and was strict with them, ready to send another mission to the West on the orders of the emperor, which made those soldiers and military households maintain strong combat effectiveness.

Therefore, when Liu Sheng went to Jiaozhi to quell the rebellion, he deliberately drew 10,000 soldiers from Zheng He's trip to the West to go to Jiaozhi, but unfortunately due to the defeat of his light enemy leader zhì counterinsurgency army, many soldiers died in Jiaozhi for this.

Since Li Yuntian wanted to engage in overseas trade, he must be escorted by a sailor, otherwise he would not be able to deal with the pirates entrenched in the South China Sea, who were already on the southeast coast.

In addition, in order to communicate with Western countries, at this stage, it must also be done by the official and rely on the sailors, so Li Yuntian decided to establish a real ocean-going naval division, so when Zheng He went to the Western Ocean, this naval division became the basis for the formation of the ocean-going naval division.

In order to make the soldiers in the Navy Division stay in Jiaozhi with peace of mind, Li Yuntian had persuaded the members of the military pavilion before leaving Beijing to quell the rebellion in Jiaozhi, and asked Emperor Xuande to transfer the military household registration of the officers and soldiers of the Navy Division from the guards to the Jiangwutang, and became a unit under the jurisdiction of the Jiangwutang to deal with the war in Jiaozhi.

Since the sailor is not valued by the imperial court at all now, and Li Yuntian is shouldering the heavy responsibility of quelling the Jiaozhi rebellion, the cabinet members of the military pavilion did not raise objections, and Emperor Xuande naturally would not object.

This means that Li Yuntian has to bear the food, clothing, housing and transportation of more than 27,000 people, because the treatment standards of the subordinate troops of the Jiangwutang are the same, which will be a lot of expenses.

However, in Li Yuntian's opinion, as long as overseas trade can be opened, then these soldiers who feed the sailors are not a problem at all.

The more tricky thing is the resettlement of the families of those military households, since Li Yuntian wants to form a water division, then the families of those sergeants and soldiers who are distributed in various guard posts must be concentrated and lived.

For this reason, Li Yuntian has already selected two addresses as the bases of the sailors, one is in Nanzhili, and the other is in Duohaigang, the base of Nanzhili is to protect the eastern coast of Daming, and the base of Duohaigang is to control the South China Sea and the Strait of Malacca.

The construction of the base in Nanzhili has now begun, and it is expected that the families of the sailors will be able to move in next year, while the base in Duohaigang will be more troublesome, after all, it still belongs to the Champa state.

After capturing the city of Takai, the rebels of Cochin plundered and slaughtered in the city, and after three days they withdrew with a large amount of booty and returned to Cochin contentedly.

After three days of ravages by the rebels, nearly half of the people in Duohai City died under the butcher's knife, and a large number of buildings were burned down, causing heavy losses.

So far, the invasion of the Champa by the Jiaozhi rebels can be described as a complete victory, not only killing the king and royal family of the Champa state, but also setting fire to the most prosperous and wealthy city of the Champa country.

At the same time, this also meant that the hatred between the Cochin rebels and Champa reached a new peak, so that the Cochin rebels tasted the bitter fruit soon after.

Because the rebel soldiers did not know the situation in Jiaozhi, when they did whatever they wanted in Duohai City, the rebels in Lilian City and Dongguan were miserable and besieged by more than 100,000 Ming regiments.

The Ming army has issued an ultimatum, if the rebels in Lilian City and Dongguan do not surrender again, once the city is broken, all the rebels will be executed.

In the face of the threat of the Ming army, the rebels in Lilian City and Dongguan were extremely frightened, but because the defenders ordered them to hold on, the rebels could only fight up and defend the city.

However, just when the rebels of Lilian City and Dongguan would hold on, Lilian City and Dongguan mutinied on the same day, and the rebel lords defending the city were killed by their generals, and then opened the city gate to surrender to the Ming army, and assisted the Ming army to exterminate the recalcitrant rebels.

The rebel generals who launched the mutiny were immediately affirmed and rewarded by Li Yuntian, and the mutinous rebels were incorporated into the Ming army and followed the Ming army south, advancing to the hinterland of the rebels.
