Family Rise: Beginning with Grandfather

"Surrender, you have no chance of winning!" Yu Tonghai shouted.

Wang Mingjian shouted coldly: "If you want to kill or behead us, it's up to you. If you want us to surrender, there's no way!"

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

"If I guess correctly, you should be the two commanders of the Four Banners Army, Wang Mingjian and Li Chengzhang!"

Each of the four banner armies has a flag, which is a yellow moon flag with a blue background, and is divided into four flags in the shape of the moon.

So you can tell the Four Banners Army just by looking at the flags.

"So what if it does, so what if it doesn't?" Li Chengzhang said coldly.

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

"Haha, I'm not ashamed to say it. We are just the Four Banners Army of the Xingyue Sect. Defeating us does not mean defeating the Xingyue Sect!" Wang Mingjian said.

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

"If you surrender, you can still make up for your mistakes, but if you are unwilling to surrender, there will only be one result in the end, annihilation of the clan!"

Wang Mingjian and Li Chengzhang looked at each other.

Genocide!

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

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

"If you don't think about yourselves, you should also think about your children and grandchildren!"

"Join Da Rong. With your cultivation and strength, it will be easy for you to get an official position. Maybe you won't be as carefree as before in the future, but at least you can have descendants and prosper forever!"

"And if you join Da Rong, you might be able to improve your cultivation further. The resources Da Rong has are not comparable to those of Xingyue Sect!"

Yu Tonghai kept persuading.

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

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

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

"It's easy, just declare to the outside world that you died in battle."

"I think no matter how unethical the Xingyue Sect is, 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 sword in his hand.

"It's tied up, haha, I'll give you two a hard time first!" Yu Tonghai said with a smile.

The two surrendered, which was considered the best result. As for the rest, Yu Tonghai actually didn't think about it that much.

Break your promise?

I am just a deputy prime minister, do you still expect me to make the decision?

Besides, if the Marquis wants to kill you, that doesn't mean I broke my promise. I didn't promise you anything.

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

Originally, it was just a last-minute idea.

The battle is over, clean up the battlefield.

This battle came suddenly, and Tamron Vanguard also rushed to fight, but the results were still worth showing off.

In this single battle, Tenglong's vanguard destroyed two of the Xingyue Sect's four banner armies.

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

The whole battle lasted for less than an hour, and the Tenglong Vanguard swallowed up the enemy like dumplings.

More than 3,000 enemies were killed, more than 3,000 were captured, and more than 100 ships, large and small, were captured. Many small ships were smashed or were shot through the bottom by crossbow arrows and sank.

The Tenglong Vanguard's own losses were minimal, with only a hundred casualties.

As dusk approached, the soldiers finished cleaning the battlefield. The soldiers took the prisoners into custody, and then maneuvered the captured warships to prepare to return to Zhaowuwei.

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

More than two hundred warships, large and small, sailed past Dongyang Island again. On the dock of Dongyang Island, Ju Ming almost stared at the warships as he looked at them.

"Those are the Crescent Army and the Shangxian Army of Xingyue Island!"

"They were defeated like this?"

"This is too fast!"

Ju Ming couldn't believe it. He had seen part of the battle before, but the two sides were running and fighting at the same time, far away from Dongyang Island, so he didn't know the specific situation of the battle.

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

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

Xue Ping rode to the pier of Dongyang Island again. He looked at Zhu Ming and smiled kindly: "Manager Zhu, I wonder if you can do something convenient for us now!"

Ju Ming looked at the fleet that was gradually moving away, and then at the fleet that was floating in the north of the pier with its sails furled. He took a deep breath and said, "It's convenient, but I hope your soldiers can abide by the rules here!"

"Of course, we just want to rest here and will never have any intentions towards Dongyang Island!" Xue Ping said.

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

"We Tenglongwei also have a wharf 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 sea area. At that time, we may have many places to cooperate!"

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

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

Tenglongwei's entry into the southeastern sea area for trade is something that Yu Tonghai and he have considered for a long time, but because they don't know much about the southeastern sea area, it has been delayed until now.

If Tenglongwei has a good partner in the southeastern sea area, it will undoubtedly be more conducive to Tenglongwei's entry into the southeastern sea area for trade.

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

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

"Please!" Zhu Ming said.

Xue Ping winked at his attendant beside him, and then followed Xue Ping to the yard behind the wharf.

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 in Zhaowu Guard.

They seized hundreds of warships, and so many warships arrived at Zhaowu Guard in a mighty manner, which made many soldiers feel incredible.

And this great victory also boosted the morale of the soldiers of other guards. Regardless of their combat effectiveness, at least their morale was improved.

In the temporary government office, Yang Zhengshan was also full of surprise when he saw Yu Tonghai coming back.

"So you just arrived at Dongyang Island and met the navy of Xingyue Island?"

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

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

"With such a great victory, Xingyue Island should not easily act in the short term!"

"Well, I will go to Tenglongwei to ask for credit. Lord Qian also has a credit for this battle!"

He looked at Qian Manyi next to him, and Qian Manyi was very surprised, "Thank you for your support, Lord Marquis!"

Although Qian Manyi and Quanhaiwei did not fight this time, the importance of Dongyang Island was raised by Qian Manyi, so it is reasonable for him to have a credit.

Yang Zhengshan smiled and said: "You should step up your training and fight as soon as possible. As long as you have merit, I will not let you work in vain!"

"Yes!"

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

"You go and make some arrangements first. Temporarily place the captives in the camp for custody. Bring Wang Mingjian and Li Chengzhang here. I will see them in person later!"

"As for the captured warships, check them carefully. If they can still be used, distribute them to other guards. If they can't be used, find a place to put them first!"

Yang Zhengshan made some simple arrangements and returned to the study to write a memorial for merit.

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

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

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

Yang Zhengshan stood up and said kindly: "It's 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!"

The two of them were relieved when they saw Yang Zhengshan's kind attitude.

"Sit down!"

Yang Zhengshan asked the two to sit down and chatted with them.

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

These two people are still useful. Yang Zhengshan plans to use them to establish trust.

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

Just when Yu Tonghai returned with a great victory, Luo Jinsong also sneaked into Xingyue Island.

Luo Jinsong grew up in Xingyue Island. He was naturally very familiar with Xingyue Island. After sneaking into Xingyue Island, he did not rush to act, but lurked in Xingyue Island first.

During the day, he inquired about the news at the Xingyue Island pier and town to see what changes had taken place in Xingyue Sect over the years. At night, he hid in the mountains and forests on the east side of the island.

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

In addition, he is very familiar with everything on the island, so he has been on the island for four or five days, and no one has paid attention to him as an outsider.

After some inquiries, he generally understands the current situation of Xingyue Island.

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

After understanding the situation, Luo Jinsong began to act.

According to Yang Zhengshan's instructions, he first delivered the letter to Yue Hongyi, Nanhaiyan, Qu Fusheng and others. He did not need to deliver the letter to these people in person, but only needed to deliver the letter to their mansions.

Luo Jinsong was very casual when he delivered it, and directly threw the letter into the door of their mansion without meeting anyone at all.

After sending out several letters, Luo Jinsong hid in the forest again and did not appear for three consecutive days.

…

In the main hall of Xingyuemen, the senior leaders of Xingyuemen gathered together again.

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

"The New Moon Army and the Upper String Army were destroyed!"

He said in a somewhat cold voice.

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

Everyone fell into silence.

The New Moon Army and the Upper String Army were destroyed just like that. This was really unexpected.

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

Their Four Flags Army of Xingyuemen was not a pirate, but a real navy army. In the entire southeastern sea area, the Four Flags Army was a powerful navy.

But now they were defeated so easily by Darong's navy, which made them a little difficult to accept.

In fact, they were wrong. The Crescent and Upper String Armies were not defeated by the Darong Navy, but by the Tenglong Vanguard.

If the Crescent and Upper String Armies had not encountered 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 had encountered the navy of the two guards, they would have been able to fight.

Unfortunately, they encountered the Tenglong Vanguard.

"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 and Upper String Armies plunder Songhe Prefecture, but now the Crescent and Upper String Armies died before they could achieve their goals. Should Qu Fusheng bear this responsibility?

If it were in the past, Yue Hongyi would definitely use this incident to suppress Qu Fusheng, but now he no longer has such thoughts.

With a powerful enemy at hand, internal conflicts can be temporarily put aside.

Qu Fusheng was even more depressed. He originally thought that his strategy 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 next. 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 sit and wait for death next?"

Si Yulou was slightly stunned, "Why sit and wait for death? 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 a little cold, as if he was expressing his dissatisfaction with Si Yulou.

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