Vow to die at the end of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 100 Kong Youde

After receiving a steady stream of materials copied from Hanyang Mansion, Qiu Tianxing started to expand his army again.It's just that no new camps were built, but several reserve camps were established.

This time the seizure was quite rich, with a total of nearly 30 taels of gold and silver, [-] shi of grain, and several weapons and horses.Of course, Qiu Tianxing greatly offended the landlords and gentry class of Hanyang Mansion in this way.It's just that Qiu Tianxing believes in a saying that people's energy is limited, and being good to some people means being bad to others, because he doesn't have the energy to be good to everyone.

The same goes for extending it to the security regiment.The cake made by the security group is too small and can only take care of the interests of a few people.Compared with the greed of the landlords and gentry, the appetite of the landless peasants is much smaller.A little money and food plus a lot of land are irresistible to them.Of course, there is another point. The cake itself is made of the flesh and blood of the landlords and gentry. If they are not used, how can this cake be made?
All of the above means that Qiu Tianxing can only rely on the lower class and a very small number of landlords and gentry.For other huge landlord classes and even the Canming regime in the south, the security group can only form alliances instead of relying on each other sincerely.

Regarding the establishment of the reserve camp, the civil affairs side reacted rather strongly, thinking that the De'an Prefecture was still restoring order, and it would cost money and food to recruit tens of thousands of horses.He also believes that soldiers are more expensive than elites, and that instead of recruiting tens of thousands of recruits, it is better to train the existing battalions well.

But Qiu Tianxing didn't think so.He once watched a movie about the war between Germany and the Soviet Union in World War II.In the movie, Qiu Tianxing was deeply impressed by the elite German soldiers and the huge number of Soviet troops.No matter how many millions of Soviet troops were annihilated by the German army, the Soviet army built hundreds of new divisions in a blink of an eye.Such pressure drove the German army into despair, and finally the elite German army was beaten back to Berlin by recruits who were migrant workers not long ago.

From this, Qiu Tianxing learned that when the quantity reaches a certain value, it will change from quantitative to qualitative.

The security regiment is taking the road of expanding numbers. More people means fewer enemies.

There is another thought that Qiu Tianxing can only bury deeply in his heart and dare not say it out.That is to use war to weed out bad soldiers. If you can fight a few battles without dying, then you are a good soldier.In terms of money and food, there is a shortage of security groups, but in terms of people, there is no shortage of security groups.After the information department sent people around to distribute the pamphlet written by Qiu Tianxing, many people who were unwilling to be slaves to the barbarians came to seek refuge every day.These people are said to be the anti-Tartar fire, but in fact they are just cannon fodder.

Based on this idea, the security team built three more reserve camps within a few days.It is said to be a preparatory camp, but it is actually more than 3 young men.After taking out hundreds of veterans, the shelf was barely built.

Just as the entire security team was preparing for war, the enemy finally made a move.Gongshun Wang Kong Youde brought a total of 2 people from the Han army's Zhenghong Banner and Green Battalion soldiers to De'an Mansion.

The crowd was endless, and the army lined up in a long line, like a huge long snake, wriggling continuously on the vast land.

A tall handsome flag fluttered in the wind, and Kong Youde sat on a healthy horse, looking at his own army, feeling a sense of pride in his heart.Governance depends on academic qualifications, while in troubled times one relies on fighting with swords.If you want to make meritorious deeds, these two are the only ways.

Kong Youde, 46 this year, was a native of Gaizhouwei, Liaodong, the Ming Dynasty. He was Mao Wenlong's adopted son.Mao Wenlong was killed by Yuan Chonghuan's coercive edict, and his old department was under the command of deputy general Chen Jisheng. Soon, the general Liu Xingzhi rebelled in Phi Island, killing Chen Jisheng and more than ten people, and the general Huang Long went to Phi Island to suppress it.Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming refused to accept Huanglong's rule, and led their troops to vote for Denglai governor Sun Yuanhua.

Later, when the Tartars attacked Dalinghe City, Zu Dashou was besieged in the city, and Sun Yuanhua urgently ordered Kong Youde to rush to the front for reinforcements.When Kong Youde arrived at Wuqiao, the troops were short of supplies and the soldiers looted everywhere.One day, he snatched a chicken from the servant's house of Wang Xiangchun, a prominent family in Shandong.Under the pressure of the Wang family, Kong Youde sent the soldiers who caused the trouble to the camp with arrows. The soldiers felt insulted and rioted and killed the servant of the Wang family. This made Wang Xiangchun's family even more relentless. The soldiers were punished severely, and the soldiers were full of resentment.

Just at this time, Li Jiuzheng, the father of Qianzong Li Yingyuan, came. A few months ago, Sun Yuanhua sent Li Jiuzheng to the northwest to buy horses with silver taels, but Li Jiuzheng, who was addicted to gambling, lost all his silver taels and was wondering how to make a deal. Seeing this kind of scene where the soldiers were excited, Li Jiuzheng, a gambler, took the risk and began to instigate and instigate his sons Li Yingyuan and Kong Youde to launch a mutiny.Soon, the rebels captured Lingxian, Linyi, and Shanghe counties in the southwest of Shandong, and plundered in the southwest of Shandong. These soldiers officially became bandits.

However, Sun Yuanhua still wanted to appease Kong Youde, and was unwilling to let go of the battle. As a result, the impenetrable Dengzhou City was opened by Geng Zhongming and Chen Guangfu, officers of the Liaodong Army in the city. State.

Later, under the attack of the imperial court's army, Kong Youde surrendered to the Tartars with a large number of advanced firearms and artisan gunners made by Sun Yuanhua hired by Portuguese engineers.Since then, the Ming Dynasty's weapon advantage over the Tartars has ceased.

Soon after surrendering to the Tartars, Kong Youde led the Tartars southward, conquered Lushun, and took control of the entire Liaodong Peninsula.Later, he acted as the vanguard of the Tartars, leading an army of 15 to attack North Korea and force North Korea to surrender.Not long after North Korea surrendered, Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming, Shang Kexi and other former Liaodong rebel generals joined forces with the Qing army to attack Phi Island, which was defended by [-] elite Ming troops. After occupying Phi Island, they harassed Changshan Island from time to time.At this point, the Liaodong Peninsula and coastal islands were all lost, and the Qing army's gateway to the south from the sea was opened. The coast of Shandong has become the front line of defense against the Qing.

After entering the customs, Kong Youde followed Duoduo to conquer himself, conquered Yangzhou, captured Nanjing, and attacked Jiangyin. He made great military exploits and served as the vanguard of the Tartars.

Now Kong Youde is at a high-spirited time. Although he suffered a small setback in Hunan, Jin Shenghuan and Wang Deren in Nanchang are about to fall.

The mere group bandits are like the younger generation. The failure to suppress the bandits before was due to the incompetence of the green battalion. Once the Eight Banners army arrives, the group bandits will be wiped out.

Kong Youde thought.
