Family Rise: Beginning with Grandfather.

Chapter 533: A great victory, a plan to alienate
"Surrender, you have no chance of winning!" Yu Tonghai shouted.

Wang Mingjian shouted coldly: "You can kill us or chop us up as you please, but if you want us to surrender, no way!"

Yu Tonghai grinned. At this time, soldiers from other warships were gathering here. More and more soldiers boarded the Dafu ship, and even Xue Ping came over.

"If I'm not mistaken, you should be the two commanders of the Four Flags Army, Wang Mingjian and Li Chengzhang!"

Each of the four flag armies had its own flag, a blue flag with a yellow moon, divided into four flags in the shape of the moon.

So you can distinguish the Four Flag Armies just by looking at the flags.

"So what if it is, so what if it isn't?" Li Chengzhang said coldly.

Yu Tonghai said: "If you surrender, not only will you have a chance to survive, but your people will also have a chance to survive!"

"Haha, you are so arrogant. We are just the Four Flags Army of Xingyue Sect. Defeating us does not mean defeating Xingyue Sect!" Wang Mingjian said.

Yu Tonghai shrugged and said, "I am just a commander of Darong."

"If you surrender, you can make amends, but if you are unwilling to surrender, there will only be one outcome: your clan will be exterminated!"

Wang Mingjian and Li Chengzhang looked at each other.

Genocide!

This is absolutely true. If the Xingyue Sect is defeated, they will definitely be exterminated.

But if the Xingyue Sect wins, well, they themselves don’t have much confidence in the Xingyue Sect.

"If you don't think about yourself, think about your children and grandchildren at least!"

"Join Darong. With your cultivation and strength, it will be easy to get a position. Maybe you won't be able to live as freely as before, but at least you will be able to have descendants and prosper forever!"

"And if you join Darong, maybe your cultivation can be further improved. The resources that Darong has are not comparable to those of Xingyuemen!"

Yu Tonghai kept persuading.

Killing these two people is not difficult, but it doesn't make much sense.

He felt that letting these two people surrender would be more beneficial to Darong and Yang Zhengshan.

"But how can you guarantee the safety of our family?" Li Chengzhang was a little tempted.

"That's easy. Just announce to the public that you died in battle."

"I think even if Xingyue Sect is immoral, it won't embarrass your family!"

Yu Tonghai chuckled.

Wang Mingjian and Li Chengzhang looked at each other again. Wang Mingjian took a deep breath and dropped the sword in his hand first.

"I hope you won't break your promise!"

Seeing that he had lost his sword, Li Chengzhang could only drop the knife in his hand.

"Tied them up. Haha, please bear with me for now!" Yu Tonghai said with a smile.

The two men surrendered, which was the best outcome. As for the rest, Yu Tonghai didn’t actually think that much about it.

Break your promise?

I'm just a deputy prime minister. Do you still expect me to make the decision?

Besides, if the Marquis wants to kill you, it doesn’t count as me breaking my promise, because I haven’t promised you anything.

Yu Tonghai was ready to break his promise. No matter how Yang Zhengshan dealt with the two men, he would not interfere.

It was just a spur-of-the-moment idea on his part.

The battle is over, clean up the battlefield.

This battle came suddenly, and Tenglong Vanguard also responded hastily, but the results were still worth showing off.

In this battle alone, Tenglong's vanguard wiped out two of the four flag armies of Xingyuemen.

The most important thing is that this battle was fought beautifully.

The entire battle lasted less than an hour, and Tenglong's vanguard swallowed up the enemy like eating dumplings.

More than 3,000 enemies were killed, more than 3,000 prisoners were taken, and more than 100 large and small ships were seized. Many small boats were smashed or sank after being shot through the bottom by crossbows.

However, the losses of Tenglong Vanguard itself were minimal, with only a hundred casualties.

It was almost dusk when the soldiers finished cleaning up the battlefield. They guarded the prisoners and then maneuvered the captured warships to return to Zhaowuwei.

Of course, not all of the Tenglong vanguard could return to Zhaowu Guard. Yu Tonghai asked Xue Ping to lead the rear camp and the front camp to stay and continue patrolling the routes around Dongyang Island. He himself took the remaining three camps and the captured warships and prisoners back to Zhaowu Guard.

More than 200 warships of all sizes passed by Dongyang Island again. On the dock of Dongyang Island, Zhu Ming looked at the warships and his eyes almost popped out.

"Those are the Crescent Moon Army and Upper Moon Army of Xingyue Island!"

"They just lost like that?"

"This is too quick a defeat!"

Zhu Ming couldn't believe it. He had seen part of the battle before, but later both sides fought while running away from Dongyang Island, so he didn't know the specific situation of the battle.

But now the warships of Tenglong Vanguard and Xingyuemen are together, and it is obvious that Tenglong Vanguard has won a great victory.

In just a few hours, not only was the battle over, but the battlefield was also cleaned up. It was too fast.

Xue Ping took the bus to the dock of Dongyang Island again. He looked at Zhu Ming and said with a kind smile, "Manager Zhu, could you please give us a favor now?"

Zhu Ming looked at the fleet that was gradually going away, and then looked at the fleet that was floating north of the dock with its sails retracted. He took a deep breath and said, "I can give you a favor, but I hope your soldiers can abide by the rules here!"

"Of course, we just want to rest here and we definitely don't have any intentions towards Dongyang Island!" Xue Ping said.

After saying that, Xue Ping let the boat dock, "Actually, we can cooperate!"

"We Tenglongwei also have a dock in the northeast of Dayong, and we Tenglongwei have very close maritime trade relations with the Lisheng Dynasty and the Desheng Dynasty!"

"In the future, we, Tenglongwei, will also develop maritime trade in the southeastern waters. By then, we may have many areas for cooperation!"

Zhu Ming was stunned for a moment, then his eyes lit up, "Really?"

"Of course it's true. There is no need for me to deceive you about this!" Xue Ping said with a smile.

Yu Tonghai and he had considered for a long time about Tenglongwei's entry into the southeastern waters for trade, but because they didn't know much about the southeastern waters, it had been delayed until now.

If Tenglongwei has a good partner in the Southeast Waters, it will undoubtedly be more conducive to Tenglongwei's entry into the Southeast Waters trade.

Zhu Ming looked at Xue Ping and laughed, "A guest is a guest, why don't you have a drink with me?"

"I couldn't ask for more!" Xue Ping said.

"Please!" Zhu Ming said.

Xue Ping winked at his attendant beside him, and he immediately followed Xue Ping towards the yard behind the dock.

There is no need to elaborate on the cooperation between Tenglong Guard and the Southeast Sea. Yu Tonghai returned with a great victory. When he led the Tenglong navy back to Zhaowu Guard, it caused quite a stir within Zhaowu Guard.

They captured hundreds of warships, and the arrival of so many warships in Zhaowuwei was incredible to many soldiers. This great victory also boosted the morale of the soldiers in other guards. Regardless of their combat effectiveness, at least their morale was boosted.

In the temporary yamen, Yang Zhengshan was full of surprise when he saw Yu Tonghai returning.

"So you encountered the navy of Xingyue Island as soon as you arrived at Dongyang Island?"

Yu Tonghai said with a smile: "This is just a coincidence. We didn't expect that the other party arrived at Dongyang Island almost at the same time as us!"

Yang Zhengshan's lips curled up slightly, "It seems that even God is helping us!"

"With such a great victory, Xingyue Island will not take any rash actions in the short term!"

"Well, I will go and ask for credit from Tenglong Guard. Lord Qian also played a part in this battle!"

He looked at Qian Manyi who was standing beside him. Qian Manyi was extremely surprised and said, "Thank you, Lord Marquis, for your support!"

Although Qian Manyi and Quan Haiwei did not participate in the battle this time, it was Qian Manyi who pointed out the importance of Dongyang Island, so it is only natural that he should have a share of the credit.

Yang Zhengshan said with a smile: "You should step up your training and get into battle as soon as possible. As long as you have made contributions, I will not let you work in vain!"

"Yes!"

Wu Kai, Zhang Man and Zhang Manyi responded with a smile.

"Go and make some arrangements first. Temporarily place the captives in the camp and keep them under guard. Bring Wang Mingjian and Li Chengzhang here. I will see them in person later!"

"As for the captured warships, check them carefully. If they are still usable, distribute them to other guards. If they are not usable, find a place to store them first!"

Yang Zhengshan made some simple arrangements and then returned to his study to write a petition for merit.

About half an hour later, Yu Tonghai brought Wang Mingjian and Li Chengzhang over.

At this time, Wang Mingjian and Li Chengzhang were full of anxiety. They knew Yang Zhengshan. After all, it was no secret to them that the Darong court had established the Four Seas Naval Fleet. Yang Zhengshan, the chief commander of the Four Seas Naval Fleet, was naturally also in their attention.

"The sinner Wang Mingjian (Li Chengzhang) pays homage to Marquis Jing'an!" The two men came to the study, saw Yang Zhengshan, and bowed respectfully.

Yang Zhengshan stood up and said kindly: "It is too early to judge whether you are a criminal or not. As long as you are willing, you can become a minister at any time!"

When the two saw that Yang Zhengshan was very kind, they immediately felt relieved.

"sit down!"

Yang Zhengshan asked the two to sit down and then started chatting with them.

They did not ask the two about the news of Xingyue Sect, but just chatted with them casually about family matters.

These two people are still useful, and Yang Zhengshan plans to use them to establish his credibility.

But there is no rush for this matter. He has to wait for progress from Luo Jinsong first.

Just when Yu Tonghai returned victoriously, Luo Jinsong also sneaked into Xingyue Island.

Luo Jinsong grew up on Xingyue Island, so he was naturally very familiar with the island. After sneaking into Xingyue Island, he did not act in a hurry, but instead hid on the island first.

During the day, he would go to the Xingyue Island pier and town to gather information and find out what changes had taken place within the Xingyue Sect over the years. At night, he would hide in the mountains and forests on the east side of the island.

Although the residents on Xingyue Island are all members of the four of the upper three families and the lower eight families, there are about 40,000 to 50,000 people. Even if a stranger suddenly appears, it will not attract the attention of others.

In addition, he was very familiar with everything on the island, so during the four or five days he stayed on the island, no one paid attention to him as an outsider.

After some inquiries, he had a general understanding of the current situation of Xingyue Island.

In fact, the current Xingyue Island has not changed much from when he left. The top three families are still the top three families, and the middle four families are still the middle four families. If the upper structure has not changed much, the situation at the bottom will not change much either.

After understanding the situation, Luo Jinsong began to take action.

According to Yang Zhengshan's instructions, he first delivered the letter to Yue Hongyi, Nan Haiyan, Qu Fusheng and others. He didn't need to deliver the letter to these people in person, he just needed to deliver the letter to their mansions.

Luo Jinsong delivered the letter very casually and threw it directly into the door of their mansion without meeting anyone at all.

After sending a few letters, Luo Jinsong hid in the mountains again and did not appear for three days.

……

In the lobby of the Xingyue Sect’s main hall, all the senior leaders of Xingyue Sect gathered together again.

Yue Hongyi looked at everyone in the hall with a gloomy expression.

"The Crescent Army and the Upper Moon Army were destroyed!"

He said in a somewhat cold voice.

The news of the battle of Dongyang Island was only reported back to Xingyue Island today. This result made all of them feel a heavy pressure.

Everyone fell into silence.

The Crescent Army and the Upper Moon Army were destroyed just like that. It was really unexpected.

They knew that Darong was powerful, but they never expected Darong to be so powerful.

The Four Flags Army of their Xingyue Sect are not pirates, but a real naval army. In the entire southeastern waters, the Four Flags Army is a powerful navy.

But now they were defeated so easily by Dayong's navy, which was difficult for them to accept.

In fact, they were wrong. The Crescent Army and the Upper Army were not defeated by the Dayong Navy, but by the Tenglong Vanguard.

If the Crescent Army and the Upper Rank Army had encountered not the Tenglong Vanguard, but the Haizhou Left Guard, Jinhai Guard, Quanhai Guard, etc., the result of the battle on Dongyang Island would have been the opposite.

Even if they encountered the navy of the two guards, they were still able to fight.

Unfortunately, they met Tamron Avant-garde.

"Tell me, what should we do next?" Yue Hongyi looked at Qu Fusheng and asked.

It was Qu Fusheng's idea to let the Crescent Army and the Upper String Army plunder Songhe Prefecture. But now the Crescent Army and the Upper String Army died before they could accomplish their mission. Should Qu Fusheng be held responsible for this?
If it were in the past, Yue Hongyi would definitely use this incident to suppress Qu Fusheng, but now he no longer has such intention.

Facing a powerful enemy, internal conflicts can be put aside for the time being.

Qu Fusheng felt even more depressed. He originally thought that his plan was very good, but the actual situation slapped him in the face.

Uncomfortable!

Qu Fusheng didn't want to talk and closed his eyes.

Si Yulou hesitated for a moment and said, "Master, I think we should prepare for war. The Darong Navy has blocked the route to Dongyang Island. It is almost impossible for us to get close to the coast of Darong. What we can do next is to prepare for the battle!"

Yue Hongyi looked at Si Yulou with a strange look in his eyes.

"So we should just sit back and wait for death?"

Si Yulou was slightly stunned, "Why are we just sitting there waiting to die? We need to prepare for war!"

Yue Hongyi stared at him, "Prepare for war, how do you think we should prepare for war?"

His tone was somewhat cold, as if he was expressing his dissatisfaction with Si Yulou.

The others heard the dissatisfaction in his tone and looked at Yue Hongyi in surprise.
