After a batch of ships is unloaded, the empty ship sails to the quarantine anchorage, and all sailors come ashore to undergo "purification". (Baidu Search Literature Museum) The second batch of ships comes to unload. The ships that have not had their turn to unload all anchor and wait for the call. .
The large boat was emitting black smoke and shuttled among the ships, using its loudspeaker to continuously broadcast the "Message to All Soldiers Denglai Dongjiang".
Under the black muzzle, no matter how many Shandong soldiers and civilians were frightened by the tiger and wolf army, they could only surrender and surrender to their mercy. Although they still had swords and guns in their hands, and there were many cannons and blunderbuss on the ship, but in front of them, the opponent's Nothing under the muzzle is worth mentioning.
The soldiers trapped on the ship relaxed their nerves because of the complete powerlessness in front of them. Some people actually fell asleep on the deck.
Li Jiucheng and others were not willing to have everything taken away from them. As soldiers in troubled times, the army was their capital. Soldiers in troubled times had breasts and mothers. As long as they were willing to pay, they didn't care who they worked for.
The problem is, no matter whether the owner of Luzhuang is "Da Song" or someone else, he has no intention of surrendering. If the other party really wants to surrender, he should send an envoy to negotiate with him at this time.
But the opponent's current behavior is clearly to disarm and annex his troops.
Of course, disarming and annexing does not matter to the soldiers - as long as they are paid, it is not the same thing as who they are working for. But for generals like them who support their troops and respect themselves, it is simply a disaster. The other side treats them as if they are nothing. This shows that His fate could be as light as "living in idleness", or as serious as being cut off in two.
You must not sit still and wait for death! In order to control the ship, Li Jiuzheng's trusted generals were distributed on each ship. He only left one Chinese guerrilla beside him. Fortunately, the ship was full of his own soldiers and servants, all in neat armor, and they were all willing to give orders. He is a warrior through fire and water.
At that moment, he called the lieutenant general and several generals to discuss. When it was his turn to dock, he did not follow the instructions and boarded the trestle. Once on the trestle, there were iron nets and towers on all sides, which was like a fish caught in a trap. Instead, wash directly onto the beach near the pier.
Li Jiucheng had already seen clearly with his binoculars that there were not many enemy troops on the shore, no more than 4,000 at most. Moreover, none of them were wearing armor, and some did not even have firearms, but only used spears. The time may not be the opponent of his experienced desperadoes. Once the beach is successfully washed, the rebels on the boat ashore will inevitably riot - compared to surrendering their weapons and letting others slaughter them with an uncertain future. His men are more Will be willing to give up and give it a try.
No matter where this place is, who is on the island, or how many people will die in the riot, he still has 20,000 people, even if he loses half. As long as he can control the remaining troops, no matter what he does, it will be easy.
"Everyone fight to the death, and we will defeat the fish to the death!" Li Jiucheng encouraged his men, "There is money on the boat. After this battle, brothers can take whatever they want! Don't give advantage to outsiders in vain!"
"I am willing to die for the general!" Everyone agreed in a loud voice. Then they ordered the sailors on the ship to be sent a generous reward of silver and asked them to prepare for the beach according to the order.
"Just rush to the beach, fifty taels per person! Otherwise, don't blame our brothers for being blind!" Li Jiucheng said viciously.
Of course the sailors did not dare to say "no".
Finally, it was their turn for the ships to dock. Each ship had lowered its sails and used large oars to push forward. It slowly moved towards the trestle. When the ship was very close to the trestle, the oar on one of the ships suddenly accelerated.
The frequency was increased. A few additional oars were lowered from the boat. The speed of the boat suddenly accelerated. The rudder suddenly turned to one side and rushed directly towards the beach outside the barbed wire fence!
The battleships of the Second Fleet were always on the lookout. They had been ordered to fire if they found any abnormal movement of any ship and gave a warning. A spy boat closest to Li Jiucheng's ship immediately fired a warning. Seeing that the other side was unmoved, the two
A spy boat on the cordon opened fire at the same time. At this time, the distance was less than 300 meters. One shell landed on the beach, raising a water column filled with sand, while the other shell penetrated the side of the boat solidly.
He broke through the hull from one side, killing twenty-five people, and then broke through the hull from the other side and fell into the sea.
Driven by inertia and tide, Li Jiuzheng's boat rushed straight onto the beach. Li Jiuzheng wore a helmet and armor and held a broadsword. He immediately roared and jumped off the boat. The surviving servants behind him also howled.
They jumped down from the side of the ship on both sides. Although the tonnage of their ship was relatively small, and the ship's side was not high from the beach after it ran aground, many people still fell and got injured or fell into the quicksand when jumping on the beach wearing armor.
During this chaotic moment, the artillery on the shore had already opened fire, spraying out canisters like raindrops towards the stranded ship, followed by the covering fire of typewriters, the secret service boats on the cordon opened fire one after another, and grenades and incendiary bombs fell towards the beach.
Li Jiucheng's boat suddenly fell into a field of fire, with bullets raining down and black smoke billowing. Within a few minutes, the boat was in pieces, and the beach was littered with burning wood chips and mutilated human bodies.
Feng Zongze picked up the handkerchief and blocked his nose - the sea breeze blew the smell of barbecue over, and when he thought about what kind of meat it was, he couldn't help but feel sick.
"Send the advance column of Jeju Island to search, leaving no one behind. Cut off all the heads and hang them on wooden poles!"
The advancing column on Jeju Island were all Shandong refugees who had been rescued during the Denglai Rebellion. They all hated the rebels to their core and would never let go during the search.
The crisp suppression made the rebel generals' last thoughts of rebellion disappear. In the end, the rebels were all disarmed.
The rebels screened out more than 200 major generals above the general level after disarming themselves. Except for a few generals from the Lu Army and the South Army who were originally from Dengzhou Town, the rest were escorted to the Jeju Campus. More than 10,000 rebel prisoners were captured at the typewriter.
, they had formed a square formation under the threat of Minnie rifles and the spears of the White Horse team.
Kong Youde, unlike the other rebel generals, was escorted alone to the martial arts performance hall of the school ground. Seeing the Koreans wearing big hats bringing plates of water, wine and rice to the generals gathered on the school ground, he knew that his
Life has come to an end here.
Some of the generals on the school field had earth-colored faces and lay limp on the ground, some closed their eyes and said nothing, just waiting to be killed; some begged; some were furious and struggled desperately.
From following his father to riot in Tieling and resisting the Donglu, to defecting to Guangning, and becoming a guerrilla step by step, after Guangning withdrew from the town, he followed Mao Shuai to Dongjiang; after Mao Shuai was beheaded, there was internal strife in Dongjiang; he defected to Dengzhou, and under Sun Yuanhua
Under his command, he reinforced the Daling River, and followed Li Jiucheng to raise troops at Wuqiao... Every scene of his life seemed to pass before his eyes. Thousands of tastes and thousands of sorrows came to his mind, and he couldn't help but feel short of breath for a moment.
As a soldier, he has the consciousness of death at any time. However, at this moment, he feels a little unwilling. Who is the owner of Luzhuang? Why did he set up a trap at all levels to put him and Dongjiang's old troops to death?
At this time, a young man with short hair and short clothes walked in surrounded by several Japanese-looking guards. There were people behind him carrying wine and rice.
The visitor filled the cup with wine and handed it over with both hands. The attitude was very polite. Kong Youde had already put life and death aside, took the wine and drank it down in one gulp. He asked:
"Who is sir?"
"I am Feng Zongze, the governor of Jizhou Prefecture of the Great Song Dynasty." Feng Zongze said, "I am here to see the general off."
Kong Youde didn't know where this Da Song came from, but there was no doubt that this man and the owner of Lu Village were in the same group.
He asked in a loud voice: "What is the enmity between Kong and the old people and nobles of Dongjiang?"
Feng Zongze said sternly: "I have no grudges or enmities with the general. Today I am here to offer a farewell drink to the general. It is because the general rebelled against the Japanese when he was young, and followed Mao Shuai to support himself in the ice and snow of the Liaohai Sea, defending Liaodong for the Ming Dynasty.
One foot of soil."
Kong Youde didn't know what the other party's intention was in bringing up the past, but it was indeed his "glorious history" that he was proud of.
"In that case, why did you put Kong and Dongjiang soldiers to death?"
Feng Zongze said: "It's not that we want to put the general to death. We respect the general's majesty and his loyalty to the Ming Dynasty. It is true that the hundreds of thousands of skeletons under Dengzhou City cannot agree." He raised his finger and pointed.
The soldiers of the Jeju advancing column of the security forces lined up in the distance said: "These people are the people who were transported by the owner of Luzhuang from Dengzhou to flee. They also want to ask you: They have no grudges against you and the Dongjiang soldiers, why do they want to
Kill their family members and fellow villagers?!"
Since Kong Youde started his army, he had developed a heart of stone in the war. He believed in "one general can make a thousand bones wither", and he never thought about the fate of the villages he ordered to massacre to raise food and pay for Latin. In their
For these soldiers of the old Ming Dynasty who have become semi-warlords, this is a matter of course. Not to mention that the soldiers do not care, even those who talk about "benevolence and righteousness", "the emperor is light and the people are important" and "people-oriented" come to the prison
The military and the commander-in-chief's civil servants often turn a blind eye to this - these are troubled times, there is no money and food, and they have to rely on warriors to lick blood with their swords and fight for their lives with swords and guns. It doesn't matter if they kill a few common people to grab some money and food.
"Are you just a group of benevolent and moral people?" Kong Youde asked with a sneer.
"Since our Senate returned to China, our purpose has been to love and protect the people. Our swords are never stained with the blood of innocent people! The sky and the earth, the sun and the moon can be revealed!" Feng Zongze said with a righteous expression. As he spoke, he took out a
He sealed the document and began to read out the judgment sent by the arbitral tribunal.
It was half-written and half-white, and mixed with many "Newspeak" articles. Kong Youde couldn't quite understand it, but the "death penalty" at the end was understandable. He slowly stood up and said calmly: "The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit."
If it falls into your hands, it’s up to you to do with it. Why say more!”
Feng Zongze didn't say much and ordered: "Send General Kong on his way!"
Kong Youde didn't wait for anyone to urge him, strode towards the door, and suddenly asked: "Who are you? What do you want to do?"
"The Senate," Feng Zongze said, "is to recreate China."
