Daming wolf ride

"Which Kong Youde?"

Chongzhen was taken aback for a moment, he really didn't know who this Kong Youde was and where this Wuqiao was.

Gao Qiqian hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, this hole has the old department of Mao Shuai on Naipi Island. He used to be a miner and used to be a guerrilla for the Guangning Army." Soldiers, hang the seal of the former general who conscripted captives, Mao Wenlong who opened the town of Dongjiang.After Yuan Chonghuan's death, the imperial court had rehabilitated Mao Wenlong, and Chongzhen also spoke highly of him, so Gao Qiqian did not dare to call him by his name directly, but called him "Shuai Mao".

"Since Mao Shuai's former department, how could he turn against him?"

Chongzhen is a little strange, Dongjiang Town is still in the hands of Daming, since Kong Youde is Mao Shuai's former subordinate, he should still be in Dongjiang Town today, why did he go to Wuqiao to rebel?My heart is getting more and more confused. [

Gao Qiqian didn't know how to answer this question for a moment, Cao Huachun saw that he couldn't speak out, and knew that the opportunity had come, he hurried forward and said: "Your Majesty, the servants are aware of Kong Youde's rebellion. Chaos is not in Wuqiao, but in Pidao."

"Not born in Wuqiao, but born in Phi Island?"

After hearing this, Chongzhen was even more puzzled. He knew that Pidao was an island located at the mouth of the Yalu River, and it was also the base built by Mao Wenlong to fight against the Eastern captives. .If Yuan Chonghuan hadn't killed him arbitrarily, I'm afraid the Liao affairs would not have collapsed to such an extent.

Thinking of this, I can't help hating Yuan Chonghuan even more.But he didn't know anything about what Cao Huachun and Gao Qiqian said, so he was even more confused. He didn't know the relationship between Kong Youde and Pi Dao, and Mao Wenlong. Somewhat impatiently said to Cao Huachun: "What's going on? You and I should explain clearly."

"Yes Yes."

Cao Huachun responded twice, glanced at Gao Qiqian with some complacency, secretly thinking that there is finally something in this world that you don't know about.

In fact, if Dongchang was not in charge, and Dongchang had detectives in Pidao, Cao Huachun would not know about Kong Youde.But now that he knew it, the emperor asked again, and Cao Huachun was naturally happy to reveal one by one, so as to show that his ability is not inferior to high-level and latent.

Clearing his throat there, he straightened his thinking, and blurted out: "Your Majesty, in fact, before Mao Shuai died, he once instigated brother Liu Xingzuo who surrendered to Donglu. Liu Xingzuo joined Donglu's camp very early and was very popular." Thanks to the appreciation of the old slave Nurhachi, the old slave handed over the Jin, Fu, Hai, and Gai prefectures where the Han people lived in Liaodong to Liu Xingzuo. Inevitably being bullied and squeezed out by Donglu, under such circumstances, brother Liu Xingzuo had the idea of ​​returning to my Ming Dynasty." Speaking of this, he paused and looked towards Chongzhen.

Chongzhen was listening intently, seeing him stop abruptly, he waved his hands and said: "Speak."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Cao Huachun continued immediately: "After Mao Shuai knew that Brother Liu Xingzuo intended to return to the Ming Dynasty, he personally instigated against them. In the end, Brother Liu Xingzuo managed to avoid the surveillance of the Jurchens and fled back to Phi Island. Since then, he has served under Mao Shuai's command. However, this Liu Xingzuo brother has always been ambitious and wanted to replace Mao Shuai, but because Mao Shuai had too much prestige, he couldn't do it. As a result, after Yuan Chonghuan killed Mao Shuai with a fake imperial decree, Liu Xingzuo saw an opportunity and helped Yuan Chonghuan suppress Mao Shuai The resistance of the old army was finally appreciated by Yuan. Yuan Chonghuan divided the soldiers of Pidao into two associations, East and West, and asked Mao Shuai's old army Chen Jisheng and Liu Xingzuo to lead each association. Later, Liu Xingzuo was transferred to the interior, followed by his younger brother Liu Xingzhi.

"Jisi Incident", Yuan Chonghuan colluded with the enemy and was imprisoned, Liu Xingzuo was attacked and killed in the mainland, and Liu Xingzhi, who had lost his backing, had a precarious position on the island, and the former Mao Shuai headed by Chen Jisheng was full of suspicion about him.Fearing that his status would be shaken, Liu Xingzhi took the risk and led people to launch a mutiny, attacking and killing Chen Jisheng, the leader of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, in an attempt to monopolize Phi Island.But after the imperial court got the news of Chen Jisheng's death, they sent the chief soldier Huanglong, and now Liu Xingzhi had no way to dominate Pidao. "

Hearing this, Chongzhen finally knew something he knew, nodded and said: "I know about sending Huanglong to be the general soldier of Dongjiang. What happens next?"

Cao Huachun hurriedly said again: "Zhang Tao and Shen Shikui, Mao Shuai's former subordinates, were dissatisfied with Liu Xingzhi because of Chen Jisheng's death, so they launched a mutiny and killed Liu Xingzhi and the Jurchen soldiers he led."

Gao Qiqian interrupted suddenly: "Eunuch Cao, what does all this have to do with Kong Youde?"

Chongzhen also said: "You pick the important ones and say, don't go around."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Cao Huachun glanced at Gao Qiqian embarrassingly, and said calmly, "According to Dongchang's investigation, Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming have always stood by Liu Xingzhi during the struggle between Mao Shuai's old department and the Liu Xingzhi brothers. Therefore, when Liu Xingzhi died, Kong Youde and Kong Geng were squeezed out by Mao Shuai's former troops, and Fazai gained a foothold in Phi Island again, so he led his troops under the account of Denglai Governor Sun Yuanhua. Sun Yuanhua appointed Kong Youde as the left battalion commander of the infantry , Geng Zhongming was sent to Dengzhou Fortress."

"Since Kong and Geng are working in Denglai, why did they want to rebel?" Chongzhen became more and more confused. Denglai is far away from Liaodong, separated by the sea. Kong Youde is working in Denglai well. Woolen cloth?

"This slave is not easy to guess." [

Cao Huachun didn't know why Kong Youde rebelled. He only knew about the grievances and grievances of the generals in Dongjiang Town, but not much else.

Chongzhen asked Gao Qiqian again, but Gao Qiqian didn't know either. He only knew that Kong Youde led his troops to Wuqiao and suddenly stopped moving, and instead raised the flag to rebel.

In fact, the reason why Kong Youde rebelled in Wuqiao was related to Zu Dashou being trapped in Dalinghe City.When the news of Zu Dashou's entrapment came, the imperial court urgently ordered Denglai to send troops to support Liaodong. Sun Yuanhua was negligent in employing personnel and sent Kong Youde to lead the army.Kong Youde was terrified of the slaves, and he was unwilling to lead his troops out to fight Jiannu, but he did not dare to disobey the order, so he took the strategy of delaying, dawdling all the way, hoping to delay the war until the end of the war.However, the siege battle that Huang Taiji fought at the Daling River lasted for more than three months since the end of June. Kong Youde did not delay the war to the end, but dragged himself down first.

When the troops reached Wuqiao, Hebei, the food had already been eaten, and the soldiers complained a lot.At this time, Kong Youde had come to a crossroads. He could either go to Liaodong to eat and fight against Jiannu, or rob the soldiers on the spot to fill the stomachs of the soldiers. He had no other choice but to choose between the two.

Kong Youde was in a dilemma, and finally, under the instigation of Li Jiucheng and others, Kong Youde let out a long sigh: "The great general (Mao Wenlong) has a great reputation, but it is inevitable. We will die too late. The current situation is so good, it is okay!"

After a long sigh, he held high the anti-flag, plundered the prefectures and counties with his troops, turned his back to the Shandong Peninsula, and even fell into Linyi, Lingxian, Shanghe, and Qingcheng cities, and led his troops straight to Dengzhou.When the news came, Geng Zhongming rejoiced and actively prepared to respond secretly.

Sun Hua, the governor of Denglai, was so anxious that he lost his mind, but he didn't immediately report Kong Youde's rebellion. Instead, he wanted to solve it himself and report it to the court afterwards.

However, when Kong Youde's army rushed to Dengzhou, Sun Yuanhua once again neglected to employ people, and sent Zhang Tao, an old Dongjiang general, to lead the Liao soldiers out of the city to fight against Kong Youde together with Zhang Ke and most of them.Unexpectedly, the old relationship between Zhang Tao and Kong Youde relapsed, Zhang Tao's soldiers were immediately recruited by Kong Youde, and most of Zhang Ke, who had lost his allies, was defeated and fled.

It wasn't until this time that Sun Yuanhua woke up like a dream, knowing that he could not suppress Kong Youde's Liaodong soldiers with his own ability, and quickly sent a fast horse to the capital for emergency.

Kuaima is almost the capital where the Liao soldiers entered the capital at the same time. The difference is that one went to the Ministry of War and the other to the General Administration Department, so Cao Huachun only knew that the Liao soldiers had come to report, but he didn't know that Denglai was in a hurry. horse.

But Gao Qiqian knew about both of them, but he didn't take Kong Youde's rebellion too seriously. In his opinion, Kong Youde's command was only a few thousand Liao soldiers, and the incident happened suddenly. The governor of Denglai, Sun Yuanhua, was too much Yes, this made Kong Youde fall into prefectures and counties. As long as the imperial court chooses a general to go there, Kong Youde's ashes will only be wiped out in the daytime.After weighing the pros and cons, he chose to advance to the palace to announce the good news, but when he saw that Cao Huachun was one step ahead of him, and the emperor was not too happy about the Liaodong military report, he changed his mind and brought up Kong Youde's rebellion—he had already thought A wonderful strategy that can not only make great achievements for oneself, but also earn a lot of money!

As the so-called wealth and wealth are sought in danger, today a great wealth and honor is sent to oneself from the sky, if you don't take it, you will be destroyed by heaven and earth.
