Cheng Dayou's performance in Yanshan Mansion once again showed his ruthlessness and shrewdness, and it was not until Luo Bingji completely admitted surrender and allowed a division of his Eighth Army to swim into the city that Cheng Dayou issued an order for the troops upstream to block the crater lake embankment, and at the same time for the troops downstream to block the flow of water to dig the embankment that had been built and release the flood.

After the flood, Yanshan City is full of devastation, the mud carried by the flood will block all the streets of Yanshan City, although the flood has dispersed, but the city is still a muddy, it is difficult, as a big horse to lead the army to walk in Yanshan City only a few streets that have been cleared out, he is greeted without exception is a hateful gaze.

Cheng Dayou didn't care about this, now that he had completed his task and taken Yanshan City, Situ Tai's way to flee north and east had been completely blocked, and he and his army had become turtles in the urn. As for the anger of the people of Yanshan Mansion, he didn't feel it, but it didn't matter, since he joined Li Wufeng's command, he knew that he could no longer become a warlord with great power, but could only become a soldier, since he had chosen this path, he could only strive to be the best soldier. How to win your goals with the minimum loss and maximum efficiency, this is the standard of the best soldier, as for the rest, it is not that you need to think too much, everything else is just for reference.

The moment Luo Bingji announced his surrender, Cheng Dayou had already set his sights on the north.

Crossing the Yanshan Mountain Range, which is not too dangerous, you can overlook the Okhotsk region of the Duotun people, the Okhotsk region is close to the Okhotsk Bay of the Great Eastern Ocean, the geographical position is superior, although the location has been quite far north, but the bay area is not frozen all year round, the Oroqen River also flows into the Great Eastern Ocean from here, here is not only the most important fishing ground in the north of the Great Eastern Ocean, but also the coastal bay is wide and deep, extremely suitable for the construction of fishing ports, commercial ports and military ports.

And this area was once under the control of the dynasty established by the Tanghe people in the previous dynasties, and the population living in this area is not small, so it has become a controversial area, but since the establishment of the Tang River Empire, it has maintained a relatively close relationship with the Doton Kingdom, and the Doton people have firmly controlled this area before the establishment of this dynasty, so the ownership of this area has not caused too fierce disputes, but there are still many people in the empire who have strong nationalism about the ownership of this place, and even in the history books, the ownership of this region has not been clearly recognized。

Cheng Dayou doesn't have much interest in the imperial civil war anymore, in fact, there are not many wars in the empire for him to perform, and he needs a better performance stage. No matter what the results of Cui Wenxiu's battle in the west are, Situ Tai and Situ Yuan are no longer likely to threaten the rule of His Royal Highness King Qin, the curtain call of the Situ Dynasty is only a matter of time and means, the only place where there can be a battle at the moment seems to be only in the east of Sanjiang, and the Maqi Khans also occupy the two prefectures in the east of Sanjiang, which is probably the biggest heart disease of His Royal Highness the King of Qin who will ascend the throne, Cheng Dayou has not considered it, but he raised his fingers and carefully calculated it, Cheng Dayou felt that he seemed to be unable to take the turn of this fruitful war anyway, unless His Royal Highness the King of Qin started a full-scale war with the Maqi Khans at the beginning of the establishment of a new dynasty, but this possibility is not big, the war of local surnames may be larger. Since it is not his turn, Cheng Dayou has no choice but to find another way, the Dodons should have been punished, and Okhotsk has become the best choice because of its special historical origins, and it happens to be the immediate vicinity of his own army, isn't this a godsend?

Of course, all this needs to be completely stabilized after the situation in Yanshan, Cheng Dayou is not in a hurry, he also knows that the eyes of the Duotun people in the north are also staring at him nervously at this time, which makes him feel that he has a comfortable state of mind, Liang Chongxin is in the East China Sea to build a prison, the target is aimed at the Japanese people, and the land of Yanyun is also the focus, not only the Japanese power is rampant, the hidden power of the Dotun people in Yanshan is not weaker than the Japanese people, these people are either openly or secretly colluding with the local gentry and aristocratic forces who oppose the western Xinjiang, if the remnants of the rebel forces here are not completely eliminated, no matter who takes over the management here, they have to face a complicated mess。

Instead of letting someone else show an iron fist and violence, keep this opportunity to yourself. Cheng Dayou took this as an opportunity to perform, Cui Wenxiu's bloody feats in the Western Regions and Tengger created his reputation as a butcher of the Western Regions and King Cui Yan, which also brought him a lot of convenience to his foreign wars, and the local people were afraid of his fierceness and trembled. As a soldier, this is the best reputation, Cheng Dayou thinks so, soldiers do not need to pay attention to the so-called reputation and popular will like politicians or politicians, iron blood and authoritarianism, this is the best embodiment of military violence.

Although Luo Bingji proposed when negotiating the terms of surrender with himself that the forces that had supported Situ Tai should not be purged for various reasons, Cheng Dayou was not prepared to abide by this agreement in a substantive sense, and the initiative was in his own hands, and how to play with this butcher's knife should be measured by himself, and there was no need to point fingers at the future of the defeated army.

Of course, Cheng Dayou will not openly provoke the entire gentry and aristocracy, which will have a negative effect on stabilizing the situation in Yanshan, and will also affect his Northern Expedition plan.

When Liang Chongxin set off a bloody storm in the East China Sea, Cheng Dayou also sharpened his knife in Yanshan and Laizhou, although the ultimate goal was not the same, but the means of showing it were almost like there was some kind of tacit understanding, and the military management was followed by a large-scale anti-rebellion campaign in the name of banning Duotun and the Japanese land, although the foundation of the rule in the western Xinjiang of Yanshan and Laizhou was not stable, but in the face of hundreds of thousands of elite heroes, any attempt to resist the intention of the military management will be ruthlessly beheaded under the label of rebellion, and there is no need to accept the monitoring of any supervisory organs, and during the war, all peacetime constraints can be left behind, everything is subordinated to the overall situation.

Liang Chongxin's performance in the East China Sea was undoubtedly nothing compared to Cheng Dayou's methods in Yanshan and Laizhou, tearing away all the veils of warmth and affection, Cheng Dayou did not even appoint any local powerful organs, all administrative departments were suspended from exercising their duties, and all officials, big and small, could only stay at home and wait for arraignment.

From Yanshan to Laizhou, a large number of gentry and aristocrats were thrown into prison without any excuse, all family property and land were confiscated, and industrialists and businessmen were also subjected to the harshest scrutiny。

As a result, historians of later generations commented that the anti-rebellion campaign was launched in Yanyun, and its degree of poison can be called a rare robbery and massacre in the cloak of legality in history; more than a dozen gentry and nobles were found guilty of treason by the military management committee and directly sentenced to death and executed, and six gentry hanged themselves in prison because they could not bear the abuse of the military police; as many as 60 people were imprisoned on suspicion of illegally trading embargoed materials with the Japanese and Duotun people, and all their assets were confiscated; the families of these criminals who were recognized by the Military Control Commission were immediately escorted to Dazhushan Island, 20 miles from the mainland, off the coast of Laizhou, for exile and detention。

Cheng Dayou's anti-rebellion movement in Yanshan and Laizhou certainly triggered a strong backlash from the gentry and nobles in the entire Yanyun area, but in the case of the general trend has gone, the power of this backlash is too weak, and in the face of the slightest resistance, the temporary gendarmes immediately put the other party with the hat of attempting to rebel for bloody suppression, and the few two gentry who resisted were mercilessly hunted and killed, and only some members with female surnames were directly exiled to the Tengger grassland as slaves, they can only lower their arrogant heads, they originally wanted to maintain an arrogant demeanor to deal with the rule of the people of the Western Xinjiang, but now they are silent, no one doubts whether this perverted general of the Taiping remnants has a penchant for killing, and no one is willing to provoke the authority of Cheng Dayou, if he is caught by the opportunity to exert power, it will really bring too terrifying results.

When Yan Yun officially ended the military management and the new governor announced that the local political axe would take over the governance, the stubborn gentry and aristocratic forces had been subdued by Cheng Dayou as docile as a sheep, and when Cheng Dayou left Yanyun, almost every household in the Yanyun Prefecture quietly sang incense and thanked him for sending away a plague god, of course, this only refers to those gentry and nobles and big industrialists who were ruthlessly suppressed in this operation, and those landless peasants who were engaged in the political axe to reclaim the land and auction the land at a low price after the lord was killed were sincerely burned incense and worshiped the Buddha to bless their saviors。
