Chapter 1293 Seeing Off
After a batch of ships were unloaded, the empty ships sailed to the quarantine anchorage, and all sailors went ashore to undergo "purification" as well.The second batch of ships will come and unload.All the ships that did not have their turn to unload were anchored and waited for the call.

The big boat was emitting black smoke, shuttling among the boats, using the tweeter to continuously broadcast the "Letter to All Denglai Dongjiang Soldiers",
Under the muzzle of the black hole, even if they are the army of tigers and wolves that have made many soldiers and people in Shandong fearful, now they can only capture them with nothing to do, and let them be at their mercy.Although they still had swords and guns in their hands, and there were still many cannons on board, they were all worthless under the guns of the opponent in front of them.

The soldiers trapped on the ship relaxed their nerves because of the complete powerlessness in front of them, and some of them fell asleep on the deck.

Li Jiuzheng and others were unwilling to be deprived of everything like this. As soldiers in troubled times, the army is their capital.Soldiers in troubled times have milk or mothers, as long as they are willing to pay, they don't care who they work for.

The problem is, regardless of whether the owner of the Deer Villa is "Da Song" or someone else, he has no intention of recruiting himself at all.If the other party really wants to recruit him, he should send an envoy to negotiate with him at this time.

But the opponent's current behavior is clearly disarming and annexing his troops.

Disarming and annexing, of course, doesn't matter to soldiers-as long as they are paid, it doesn't matter who they work for.But for these self-respecting generals like them, it is simply a disaster.The other party regards him as nothing, and from this we can know that his fate is as light as "living at home", and as serious as a clean break.

Never sit still!In order to control the ships, Li Jiuzheng's trusted generals were distributed on each ship, leaving only one guerrilla in the Chinese army by his side. Fortunately, all the ships were full of his own soldiers and servants, all of them were well-armored, and they were all warriors who were willing to go through fire and water for him as soon as he gave an order. .

At present, the general and several relatives are called to discuss.When it was his turn to dock, he didn't follow the command to get on the trestle bridge—once he got on the trestle bridge, there were iron net towers on all sides, that was a fish caught in the net—but he rushed directly to the beach near the pier.

Li Jiuzheng had already seen clearly with a telescope that there were not many enemy troops on the shore, at most no more than 4000.Moreover, they were all unarmored, and some of them didn't even have firearms. They just used spears. Even if they had strong boats and cannons, they might not be the opponents of his desperate men who fought all kinds of battles in a hurry.Once the beach is successfully washed, the rebels on the boat that is going ashore will inevitably riot. Compared with disarming and letting others slaughter them with an uncertain future, his gang will be more willing to give it a go.

No matter where it is, who is on the island, how many people will die in the riot, at least he has [-] people, even if he loses half, as long as he can control the remaining army, he can do whatever he wants.

"Let's fight to the death, let's fight to the death!" Li Jiuzheng encouraged his subordinates, "There is a lot of money on board, after this battle, the brothers can take whatever they want! Don't take advantage of outsiders for nothing!"

"I am willing to die for the general!" Everyone agreed with a loud voice.Then he ordered the sailors on the ship to reward them generously and ask them to follow the order to prepare for the beach.

"As long as you rush to the beach, 50 taels per person! Otherwise, don't blame our brothers for having no eyes!" Li Jiuzheng said viciously.

Sailors certainly dare not say "no".

Finally it was their turn to dock the boat.All the ships had lowered their sails and pushed forward with their big oars.Slowly lean towards the trestle bridge.When the boats were already very close to the trestle bridge, the frequency of the oars on one of the boats suddenly increased, and several additional oars were lowered from the boat. wash away!
The warships of the Second Fleet are always watching. They have been ordered to open fire after a warning is found for any movement of any ship.A spy boat closest to Li Jiuzheng's boat immediately fired warning shots. Seeing that the other party was unmoved, two spy boats 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, setting off a water column full of sand, but the other shot firmly penetrated the side of the boat, piercing the hull from one side, killing 25 people later broke through the hull from the other side of the ship and fell into the sea.

Driven by inertia and the tide, Li Jiuzheng's boat rushed straight onto the beach.With his helmet on and armor in his hand, Li Jiuzheng jumped off the boat with a roar, and the surviving family soldiers behind him also howled and jumped down from the sides of the boat.Although the tonnage of their ships was relatively small, and the beams were not high from the beach after they ran aground, jumping on the beach wearing armor still caused many people to fall or fall into the quicksand.

During this chaotic moment, the artillerymen on the shore had already opened fire, raining cannonballs towards the stranded ship, followed by covering fire from typewriters, the spy boats on the cordon fired one after another, and grenades and incendiary bombs fell towards the beach.

Li Jiuzheng's boat was suddenly plunged into a fiery area, with bullets raining down and black smoke billowing. In just a few minutes, the boat was torn apart, and the beach was full of burning wood chips and mutilated human bodies.

Feng Zongze picked up the handkerchief and blocked his nose—the sea breeze blew over the smell of barbecued meat. Thinking about what kind of meat it was, he couldn't help feeling sick.

"Send Jeju Island to advance into the column to search, and leave no one behind. All heads will be cut off and hung on wooden poles!"

The advancing columns on Jeju Island were all Shandong refugees who were rescued during the Denglai Rebellion. Everyone hated the rebels to the bone, and they would never release water when they searched.

The crisp suppression made the rebel general's last thought of rioting disappear.Eventually the rebels were all disarmed.

The rebels disarmed more than 200 major generals above the general level and were screened out.Except for a few generals from the Lu Army and the Southern Army who were originally from Dengzhou Town, the rest were taken to the Jeju school grounds. More than 1 rebel prisoners had already formed a square formation under the threat of typewriters, Mini rifles and spears from the White Horse Team. .

Kong Youde was different from the other generals of the rebel army. He was escorted alone to the training hall of the school grounds. Seeing the North Koreans wearing big hats bringing plates of water, wine and rice to the generals gathered in the school grounds, he knew his Life has come to an end here.

Some of the generals on the school field had ashen-colored faces and lay limp on the ground, some closed their eyes and said nothing, just waiting to be slaughtered; some begged bitterly;

From rioting with his father in Tieling, resisting the Eastern captives, to joining the army to Guangning, he went on a guerrilla step by step. After Guangning withdrew from the town, he followed Mao Shuai to Dongjiang; after Mao Shuai was beheaded, Dongjiang’s internal strife; Under his command; to reinforce Dalinghe, to follow Li Jiuzheng in Wuqiao to raise troops... Scenes of his own life seemed to pass by before his eyes, with thousands of feelings and all kinds of melancholy rushing to his heart, he couldn't help being short of breath for a while.

As a soldier, there is always a sense of death.However, at this moment, he felt a little unwilling.Who is this deer owner?Why set up bureaus at all levels to put him and the old Dongjiang tribe to death?
At this time, a young man with short hair and short jacket came in surrounded by several Japanese-looking guards, and there were people behind him carrying wine and rice.

Someone came to fill the wine and hand it over with both hands.The attitude is very polite.Kong Youde put life and death aside, took the wine and drank it all in one gulp.asked:
"Who is sir?"

"I am Feng Zongze, 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 Great Song came from, but there was no doubt that this person was in the same group as the owner of Lu Zhuang.

He asked in a high voice: "What kind of enmity does Kong have with Dongjiang's old people and nobles?"

Feng Zongze said solemnly: "I have no grievances or enmities with the general. Today I am here to toast the general with a glass of farewell wine. The toast is that the general rebelled against the captives when he was young, and followed Mao Shuai in the ice and snow of Liaohai. He fought hard and defended Liaodong for the Ming Dynasty." A foot of soil."

Kong Youde didn't know what the other party's intention was in bringing up the past, but this was indeed his "glorious history" that he was proud of.

"Since that's the case, why 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 Huwei and his loyalty to Daming in the past. The hundreds of thousands of bones under the city of Dengzhou cannot agree." He raised his finger and pointed Soldiers in the Jeju advance column of the public security army lined up in the distance: "These people are the fleeing people transported by the owner of Luzhuang from Dengzhou. They also want to ask you: They have no grudges against you and Dongjiang soldiers. Kill their families and fellow villagers?!"

Since Kong Youde joined the army, he had already cultivated a heart of iron and stone in the war. He believed in "one general will succeed and all will die", and he never thought about the fate of the villages he ordered to be slaughtered to raise food and salaries.In the eyes of these semi-warlordized old Ming soldiers, this is all a matter of course.Not to mention that soldiers don’t care, even those civil servants who come to supervise the army and command commanders who talk about "benevolence and justice", "the king is the most important, and the people are the most important", and "the people are the most important", often turn a blind eye to this-this is a troubled time, there is no money and food , but also rely on the sword of the warrior to lick the blood, fight to the death with a knife and a gun, killing a few people to grab some money and food is nothing.

"Could it be that you are a group of benevolent and moral people?" Kong Youde asked with a sneer.

"Since our Senate returned to Shenzhou, we have taken loving the people and protecting the people as our purpose. The blood of innocent people has never been stained on the sword! The sun and the moon are shining!" Feng Zongze said with a righteous face.As he spoke, he took out a document and began to read the judgment sent by the arbitral tribunal.

Kong Youde didn't quite understand the half-literate, half-white articles mixed with a lot of "Newspeak", but he could understand the "death penalty" at the end. He stood up slowly and said calmly: "Winners and losers, that is, It falls into your hands, and it is up to you to dispose of it. Why talk too much!"

Feng Zongze didn't say much, and ordered: "Send General Kong on his way!"

Kong Youde didn't wait for anyone to urge him, he strode towards the door, and suddenly asked: "Who are you? What do you want to do?"

"The Senate," Feng Zongze said, "is to rebuild China."
