"This is Kong Youde?"
Chen Yue asked suspiciously, looking at the middle-aged man with a bruised face and an ugly money rat tail tied up on the ground.
When they brought several warships to attack this isolated island, the green soldiers on the island waved white flags and declared that they were revolting anyway.
Chen Yue naturally did not dare to neglect, ordered them to hand over their weapons, and then sent troops to surround them.
Then the green camp commander named Bao Jielin kept saying that he had caught the traitor Kong Youde.
Kong Youde was one of the famous Three Shun Kings of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
Chen Yue had heard of his reputation both in his previous life and in this life.
A flood destroyed the Manchu and Qing camp, allowing the Pingnan Army to achieve a resounding victory.
The only drawback was that they did not obtain enough trophies to show off their military exploits, such as the head of the Manchu chieftain Dodo, which was now captured.
Kong Youde is not bad either.
"Sir, it's absolutely true.
If this villain dares to lie, he will be struck by thunder from heaven," Bao Jielin knelt on the ground and said confidently.
The general of the Ming army opposite him was extremely young, but he had the evil spirit of not being angry and asserting himself.
He must be a big shot in the Ming army.
"Master Hou, the general has verified it and it is indeed Kong Youde."
Chen Yan reported.
There were also several Eight Banners soldiers of the Han Army who were captured, all of whom were Kong Youde's men.
Naturally, it was not difficult to confirm Kong Youde's identity.
"Grandpa is Kong Youde, the obedient king of the Qing Dynasty Kong Youde.
Opposite him is Chen Yue, the Marquis of Pingnan of the Ming Dynasty."
Kong Youde knew he was unlucky, raised his blood-stained face, stared at Chen Yue, and cursed angrily.
From Chen Yan's title and the rumored youth of the Ming army commander, he identified the identity of the young man opposite.
"You bastard, the defeated general dares to be rude to my Marquis."
Chen Yan flew up and kicked Kong Youde on the chin, knocking out all the teeth in his mouth.
Kong Youde rolled on the mud floor and laughed wildly.
"Don't let him die.
This man has committed a heinous crime.
After reporting it to the court, he will be executed in a hurry to comfort the countless souls who died in vain in Denglai Shandong."
Chen Yue frowned and ordered.
At that time, Kong Youde launched a mutiny in Wuqiao and invaded Dengzhou.
He and Geng Zhongming committed evil in Denglai, Shandong for more than a year, which caused the entire Shandong to be corrupted and countless people died in vain.
Then he defected to Houjin under the encirclement and suppression by the imperial army.
He is a notorious traitor.
Seeing Kong Youde's mouth gagged and dragged down by the Ming army like a dead dog, Bao Jielin's body trembled.
He didn't know how he would be treated.
Chen Yu, a soldier from the Green Camp on the side, was also trembling.
He originally wanted to beg for mercy, but he didn't dare to say it in front of the power of this young Marquis of Ming Dynasty.
"You can correct your evil ways and catch Kong Youde, which can be considered a meritorious service, and you can avoid the crime of rebellion in the past."
Chen Yue's words were like the sound of nature, making all the Green Camp soldiers present overjoyed.
Chen Yue did not want to say more and ordered the ships to be vacated to transport the surrendered Green Camp soldiers and the people on the island to Yangzhou City for resettlement.
Then he used the island as his base camp and began to command the suppression of the remaining Qing troops.
The timing of blowing up the Sanheba embankment of Hongze Lake was really perfect.
It was at night when the flood came, and all the Qing soldiers were asleep and had no time to move safely.
In this case, unless the water quality is particularly good, it will be extremely difficult for anyone to safely swim to the hills and escape at night.
Of the more than 100,000 Qing troops, only two to three thousand were able to escape to the hills, and most of them were green camp soldiers who were familiar with water.

When the warships of the Pingnan Army arrived, they swept away several isolated islands in the water to the west of the city, just like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves.
The remaining Green Camp soldiers couldn't resist at all, so they all knelt down and surrendered.
Chen Yue found out helplessly that the use of hundreds of warships was a waste of time.
The imaginary big fish such as Duduo, Prince of Henan of the Qing Dynasty, was not found and must have been submerged in the flood.
This made Chen Yue very regretful.
They could only order the fleet to transport the surrendered Green Camp soldiers and the remaining people from the isolated island.
There were only a few thousand people who could escape, which made Chen Yue feel quite uncomfortable, and the joy of victory also faded a lot.
At this moment, hundreds of ships appeared from the north and followed the torrential floods to the west of Yangzhou City.
It was the fleet led by Wang Yin and Jin Shenghuan.
"Congratulations to the Marquis for annihilating 100,000 Qing troops in one fell swoop and accomplishing a great feat."
Seeing Chen Yue, Jin Shenghuan, Wu Ping, Chen Mo and other generals bowed and saluted, and congratulated him at the same time.
Annihilating 100,000 powerful enemies in one fell swoop.
Who could achieve such a great feat in more than two hundred years of the Ming Dynasty?
This brought Chen Yue's prestige in the army to its peak.
As participants in this great victory, Jin Shenghuan and others also fought with There is honor.
Wang Yin stroked his beard with his hand, and his face was full of smiles.
This victory was so brilliant and timely that Wang Yin saw the hope of Ming Dynasty's re-emergence.
"Master Marquis, while the flood has not receded, we should send our troops directly to Nanjing and solve the siege of Nanjing in one fell swoop."
Wang Yin suggested solemnly.
Chen Yue nodded: "This is what I have in mind."
As early as when he sent troops to wipe out the remnants of the Qing army, Chen Yue had already ordered the troops in Yangzhou City to assemble and recruit all the ships in Yangzhou.
Chen Yue planned to take advantage of the fact that the Qing army outside Nanjing did not react, quickly send troops to attack Nanjing, annihilate the Qing army besieging Nanjing in one fell swoop, and then quickly send troops to attack Wuhu.
Thinking of his father Chen Jianghe who was blocking the Qing army on the west road in Wuhu, Chen Yue was extremely anxious at this moment.
Returning to Yangzhou by boat, Chen Yue immediately summoned all the generals of the Pingnan Army in Yangzhou, as well as the heads of various departments in the shogunate, the prefect of Yangzhou Ma Liang, and the governor of Huaiyang Wei Yiwen to announce the dispatch of troops to Nanjing.
Chen Yue decided to deploy the main force of the 60,000-square-meter Southern Army to reinforce Nanjing, leaving only a few thousand to defend the city.
At the same time, various departments of the shogunate and the Sihai Salt Bank were ordered to closely cooperate with Yangzhou Prefecture to carry out post-disaster relief and reconstruction work.
This flood has destroyed countless people's homes.
The floods will recede in a day or two at most.
By then, there will still be countless troubles waiting.
All the big ships in Yangzhou were mobilized, all 60,000 troops were on board, and more than a thousand ships set off one after another, hoisting their sails and heading south.
The boat moved very fast downstream, and when the vanguard fleet arrived at Guazhou Ferry, the last batch of troops had just boarded the boat.
On the riverside outside Zhenjiang City, Cheng Xun, the prefect of Zhenjiang, watched with surprise the mighty fleet approaching from the other side.
Such a big thing happened in Yangzhou across the river, and it was impossible for Cheng Xun to be unaware of it.
Just this morning, some of his subordinates came to report that there was a flood on the other side of the river in the direction of Yangzhou, causing the river to surge and countless corpses to rush into the river.
Cheng Xun mobilized the officers to take a boat to salvage, and was shocked to find that most of them were soldiers in military uniforms, and many of them were Tatars with money and rat tail braids.
He naturally knew that Yangzhou City had been besieged for more than ten days, and he also sent several ships of food and supplies to reinforce Yangzhou.
Looking at the salvaged corpses of the Qing soldiers, and then looking at the countless sailboats flying the flag of the Ming Dynasty, tears streamed down Cheng Xun's cheeks.
The Ming Dynasty can be saved:
