According to the investigation, 141 of the captives were only sons, of whom were over 40, more than 270 under the age of 18, and more than 2,100 prisoners remained.

The selected captives were each given a few dozen pieces of paper and some dry cakes and grains, and they were ordered to return to their hometowns immediately, while the rest were ordered to join the army immediately.

As soon as the news came out, the captives were in an uproar, because the officers and soldiers promised them to return to their hometowns last night now changed their faces and asked them to continue to serve as soldiers, which was difficult for the captives to accept.

However, no prisoner dared to question the orders of the Jinzhou army, and they had lost the courage to resist because they were frightened by the massacre of the previous night.

In the end, they can only comfort themselves that being a rebel is also a rebel, and being an officer and soldier is also a pawn, and it is better to be an officer and soldier than to be a rebel

After being transferred, the wolf cavalry army was expanded to 300 people, led by Cao Bianjiao.

Another light cavalry battalion was built, with 250 soldiers, under the command of Jiang Wanli. Peng Dazhui and his 38 men were asked to enter the light camp, and Shi Dayong temporarily appointed Peng Dazhui as a general and ordered him to move with the light cavalry. Peng Dazhui has no objection to this appointment.

Two thousand prisoners were drawn to form the left battalion of infantry and the right battalion of infantry, and each battalion had 100 Jinzhou soldiers and 1,000 prisoners. The two battalions totaled 2,200 men.

Shao Wu, the commander of the left battalion of the infantry, and Li Dashan, the commander of the right battalion.

In addition, Qi Sanbao organized a baggage battalion, which was filled by 500 former rebels of his department, responsible for the transportation of grain and grass, encampment and other logistical affairs.

In terms of weapons, there are a considerable number of firearms, including 260 standard guns discarded by the Beijing camp in Qiushui Town, 270 new guns made by Sun Yuanhua, the governor of Denglai, held by the Liao soldiers of Chen's Division, and 540 bird guns captured by the rebels from the Ming army of Beizhili.

There are 250 long knives, 2,300 spears, 780 spears, more than 80 axes, and 1,200 shields.

The four medium cannons are a new type of cannon built by Sun Yuanhua and asked the Portuguese in Macao, which are lighter in weight and can be pulled by horse-drawn carriages, and are estimated to weigh more than 300 kilograms, and no one knows how powerful they are. Since there were no gunners in the battalion, no one could handle the guns, so four medium guns were useless. I couldn't bear to throw it away, so I had to drag it with the baggage battalion and dispose of it when I returned to Jinzhou in the future.

The fire guns in Beijing are probably because of the Imperial Forest Army of the Son of Heaven, so the Ministry of Engineering is very finely built, and the workmanship is stronger than the guns held by the Jinzhou Army.

The 270-stroke new Portuguese gun was shorter than the one held by the Ming army, but it was no different in structure, and it was also a front charge. But after asking those prisoners, I learned that the range of these guns was longer than that of the officers and soldiers, and there was no need to worry about the danger of exploding.

Shi Dayong, who knew little about the firearms, heard that the guns were far away and did not blow up, so he was naturally happy and gave all the new guns to the Jinzhou army, and the ones eliminated by the Jinzhou army were then used by the left infantry battalion.

In this way, the left battalion of the infantry is all firearms, and the right battalion of the infantry is all kinds of weapons

In the afternoon, Zhao Xueqi finally returned with Wang Tiande's 500 rebels, and the reason why they did not come until now was because they were pursued and suppressed by Lu soldiers in Shandong.

Zhao Xueqi found Wang Tiande and said that Shahe was lost and Chen was sometimes killed in battle, Wang Tiande was suddenly shocked and didn't know what to do.

After the Lu soldiers pursued, and the Liao army blocked the road in front, these hundreds of rebels were already unable to escape.

After Xiao Yiwei, Wang Tiande finally agreed to follow Zhao Xueqi anyway. However, the Lu soldiers did not know that they had decided to do it anyway, seeing that this rebel army was small, only a few hundred people, those Lu soldiers chased after them, but they did not dare to get too close, so they followed behind, until Wang Tiande led his troops out of Shandong, and the Lu soldiers stopped chasing.

Shi Dayong saw Wang Tiande, and had no special impression of the rebel general nicknamed "Wang Da Fool", and after interrogating him, he was about to ask some more things about Kong Youde, but Gao Qiqian of Shang County sent someone.

This time it was not the eunuch of the Imperial Horse Prison, but a hundred households in Beijing, and the purpose of coming was not to make things difficult for the Jinzhou army or to grab the spoils of war or anything, but to hand over a report from the court to Shi Dayong, and told Shi Dayong a piece of news - Dengzhou has fallen

Strong fortresses were always breached from within, and Sun Yuanhua did not expect Geng Zhongming to defect.

In the middle of the night of the fourteenth day of the defense of Dengzhou, Geng Zhongming and Chen Guangfu and other Dongjiang Liao generals opened the city gate from the inside, and the rebels swarmed in from the east gate of Dengzhou - Dengzhou fell!

On the one hand, he was a Confucian student, and Confucian education required him to sacrifice his life for righteousness, and at the same time he was a Catholic, and Catholicism required him to cherish himself and not harm himself.

After the most martyrdom, Sun Yuanhua chose to kill himself but did not die, Kong Youde first asked Sun Yuanhua to be the leader, and led them and the court to continue to work. After being sternly rejected by Sun Yuanhua, thinking of Sun Yuanhua's previous kindness of taking him in and bringing him in, Kong Youde released Sun Yuanhua.

At the same time, a large number of officials such as the Penglai County Commander, Senate, General Soldier, and General were captured, and 12 Portuguese officers including the Portuguese chief priest Xi Teixeira Correa were killed in the battle.

The fall of Dengzhou made Kong Youde's strength swell rapidly, he not only got 6,000 Liao soldiers, but also got 3,000 horses, 1.1 million taels of silver, more than 20 Hongyi cannons, 300 Western cannons, and the rest of the firearms and armor battles, which are innumerable, and it can be said that the military supplies of the entire Liao Town have all become Kong Youde's bag.

After the strength swelled, Kong Youde and others began to establish a puppet regime, they first elected the eldest Li Jiu to become the marshal of the capital to sit in the top spot, Kong Youde ranked second, Geng Zhongming ranked third, and also used the captured Denglai governor seal to order Denglai prefectures and counties.

Just yesterday, the rebels relied on the powerful offensive capabilities formed by advanced artillery to conquer Huangxian.

The fall of Dengzhou put Shi Dayong's Jinzhou army in a dilemma, because he received an order to go to Dengzhou to relieve the siege, but now that Dengzhou has been occupied by Kong Youde, there is no point in him going to Dengzhou again.

But compared with the Tang newspaper in his hand, the fall of Dengzhou shocked Shi Dayong much less.

There are three major events in the Tang newspaper, the first of which is Sun Chengzong's resignation due to the defeat of the Daling River.

The second is that Qiu Hejia, the governor of Liaodong, was recalled to Beijing by the Son of Heaven due to illness, and Sun Ying, the deputy governor of Liaodong, was appointed as the governor of Liaodong.

The third is that the imperial court transferred the Liao army into the customs again, and the first transfer is 5,000 people.

The commander of this Liao army is Jin Guoqi, the chief soldier of Jizhen, Jin Guochen, the deputy general, and Zu Dashou's cousin Zu Dabi, who is known as the "Zu Er Madman", and the domestic servant Zu Kuan.

The three things added together, for Shi Dayong, it was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue, which made him stay there in a daze, and he didn't react for a long time, so that the 100 households in the capital called him a few times before he came back to his senses.
