It’s not that this rebel army is not brave, but that the war comes too suddenly.

The Rebel Army was initiated by a gangster like Qi.

It was nothing more than anti-Qing righteousness, and the people could not live a life, and the number of Qing troops in Dengzhou was pitifully few.

After a shout of promise, tens of thousands of people gathered in an instant.

At this time, the cavalry opened the city gate from the inner side. The rebels were caught off guard. Many people were captured before they could wear clothes. Second, the rebels knew that Chen Zhiyuan's troops were releasing water before, and also knew that Chen Zhiyuan was providing them with food and supplies. Moreover, many rebel soldiers were dissatisfied with what they did to make money.

This is the biggest reason.

These rebels were forced to go to Liangshan by poverty. Many of them were good families and even from Dengzhou Prefecture. Faced with such a disaster to Yu Jincai, they dared not speak out.

So, as soon as the cavalry arrived, almost no one wanted to resist.

But Yu Qi is different, he still has prestige in his subordinates.

At least four or five hundred people were blocked in the mansion and confronted Chen Zhiyuan's troops.

"Chen Zhiyuan Dog Thief, you have no faith!" Yu Qi cursed in the house, "I still obeyed your orders. In the past half month, I have led my troops to clear the Qing army guards in the east for you, so... you will be kind and revenge... you are despicable and shameless!"

Is Chen Zhiyuan unable to attack?

Just kidding, each of the cavalry surrounding the mansion now has a pair of short guns, and each person fires one shot, which may even be able to smash the wooden door of the mansion.

Chen Zhiyuan felt a little guilty. Indeed, he had broken his promise, at least he had broken his promise first.

Chen Zhiyuan didn't want to kill Yu Qi in his heart, so he was waiting for Yu Qi to surrender voluntarily.

But obviously, Yu Qi had no intention of surrendering.

When countless arrows were shot out from the mansion, the cavalry could not get the order of Chen Zhiyuan's attack and could only withdraw a hundred steps away.

Chen Zhiyuan shouted: "Yu Qi, I have broken my trust in you, but there is a reason for the incident. The rape and looting of your troops in Wendeng, and all evil deeds are the main cause of this change... I think I have made contributions before you and give you a way out, so... as long as you take people away, I will never stop you!"

After a moment of silence in the house, Yu Qi shouted: "Chen Zhiyuan, do you take this truth?"

"really!"

"Then hand over my uncle to me."

Chen Zhiyuan shouted: "Yu Qi, I will not stop you from leaving. That's because you have no evil deeds. Your uncle Yu Jincai has found out that he will plunder and rape and kill a girl. His crimes are unforgivable."

"No, I have to go with my uncle!"

"Yu Qi, don't think that our army cannot attack. I just regret that you are a man and don't want you to die here for no reason... But if you can't get entangled, don't blame me for showing mercy."

After a brief silence, Yu Qi finally surrendered, and he said, "Chen Zhiyuan, I believe you again...I'm out."

The door of the mansion was opened and Yu Qi took his people out.

Although they all hold weapons, they no longer have the fighting spirit and are just careful to protect themselves.

Yu Qi walked to Chen Zhiyuan and said in a deep voice: "Chen Zhiyuan, my kindness and grudges are clear. If you cheat me, it is a grudge. If you let me go, it is a grudge. If you let me go, you will be rewarded in the future."

Chen Zhiyuan said lightly: "Although I'm here, I have something to say first. If you help the evil, I will never show mercy next time I meet!"

Yu Qi bowed and said, "There will be a date later."

After saying that, he took people to the northeast.

Chen Zhiyuan ordered the rebel prisoners to be punished. This time, the rebels suffered few casualties, and only six or seven hundred people resisted stubbornly.

The captives totaled about 4,000 people. After selecting more than 2,000 young and strong men, the rest distributed food, travel expenses, and were dismissed back to their hometowns.

At this time, people from Ninghai City came, and the Qing court's order had already arrived at Dengzhou Prefecture. Dengzhou Prefect Zhang Shangxian personally led the imperial envoy to Ninghaizhou to pass the imperial edict.

Chen Zhiyuan handed over the army to Huang Tuozi and hurried back to Ninghaizhou.

....

June 10th.

Wu Zheng went down Jiangxi to Dantu.

If we estimate, this town should be the most intense battleground in this war.

But at this time, Liao Zhongping's troops stationed in Zhenjiang had rushed back to the capital to provide reinforcements, leaving only 2,400 guards.

The general general of Zhoushan Navy, Wang Chao, came in first to meet him.

"Prince, the Qing army in Longtan has been compressed into the city, and the direction of Yizhenjiujiangkou has been blocked by our troops..."

"Why don't you attack?" Wu Zheng's voice was a little cold.

Wang Chaoxian was stunned, "Prince, my army is a navy..."

Wu Zheng looked at the water in front of him that had swallowed many lives and said leisurely: "I remember that more than 20,000 Beijing Guards restrained the Qing army at Yizhen that day and fought to hundreds of people. King Zhiren of Xingguo, King Zhiren, newly formed 10,000 naval troops and landed in Jiangbei to reinforce Yizhen. After succeeding, he attacked Jiangdu eastward, traveled thousands of miles, and finally escaped... This is why the Jingjiang Guards of today came."

There was sweat on Wang Chaoxian's forehead as it was leaching.

Wu Zheng turned around and said calmly: "Now, Duke Xingguo is killed in this area of ​​water. Tell me, your army is a navy, so you can't go ashore?"

The king said in panic: "Prince forgives the crime, the last general... the last general will lead the navy to attack Longtan to avenge Xingguo Gong. If you don't take down Longtan, the last general will come to see you..."

"Since there has been no attack before, then there is no rush." ​​Wu Zheng said to stop him.

The king was stunned for a moment, "I don't understand... I'll ask the prince for advice."

"How many enemy troops are there in Longtan now?"

"Return to the prince, the Qing army in Longtan was blocked by the Beijing army leaving Taiping Gate in the Xuanwu Lake area. After the army failed, they retreated to Longtan. At this time, there were about 20,000 troops."

"Where is the current location of the Beijing Army who left the Taiping Gate?"

"I am still in Zhongshan area. Perhaps because I am afraid that the Qing army will transfer the tiger away from the mountain, the Beijing army did not pursue Longtan... The prince is not the last general who is passive and lazy in the battle. Facing the 20,000 enemy troops, the last general's navy cannot attack alone..."

Wu Zheng raised his hand to stop Wang Chaoxian and said, "Can you contact the army in the capital?"

"Yes, you can detour from Gaozi Town to the south, and you should be able to contact the Beijing Army for most of the day."

"Send someone to come and pass on my order. At noon tomorrow, we will launch a general attack on Longtan."

"Yes, let's arrange this."

"Your navy is ready for landing... can you gather 5,000 people?"

"able."

"Go."

Wu Zheng was a legitimate general of the Yixing Dynasty. In theory, he could mobilize all troops except the imperial guards, including the Beijing Army.

Of course, this is also theoretically.

But this is different. During a war, those with high positions can order those with low positions. This rule has always been there.

Therefore, as long as you contact the Beijing Army, if the commander of the Beijing Army dares not obey, you will have to deal with it with military law.

Wu Zheng only brought three hundred escorts during this trip, so it was naturally not possible to participate in the war.
