When Mao Wenlong couldn't get the silver in the later period, Liu Pei even allowed him to pay on credit. Until last year, after Long Mao Wenlong was killed, this supply was not interrupted.

This was very effective in stabilizing the Dongjiang Army and causing more casualties to the Later Jin Army. But if they are also allowed to make trouble, the harm will definitely be much greater than in normal history. So Liu Pei felt that it was necessary to arrange it in advance.

Soon after, news came that the Houjin army was besieging Daling City. Liu Pei immediately asked the people from the Intelligence Bureau to strengthen the monitoring of Kong Youde and these people. Kong Youde also received an order according to the historical time and began to prepare to go north.

Liu Pei knew that in history, Kong Youde was blown back by strong winds after boarding the ship, so he had to take the land route. But Liu Pei estimates that it may not be true, it is very likely that Kong Youde is lying about the military situation!

As we all know, it is much faster to take a boat from Dengzhou to Liaodong than to walk. Therefore, even if there is a strong wind that prevents the boat, it is faster to rest on the shore for a few days and wait for the wind to weaken before going out to sea than walking. However, Kong Youde and the others chose to take the land route, I am afraid that they still have the idea of delaying time and not wanting to go to Liaodong. I just want to wait for the result to be divided from Daling City.

As a result, Liu Pei received a secret report that Kong Youde's fleet was indeed blown back by the strong wind! I had to go overland. Liu Pei sneered when he received the news! Sure enough, I'm scared!

Not long after, Liu Pei finally received a notice from the Intelligence Bureau that Kong Youde and his gang still rebelled in Wuqiao! And quickly captured Dengzhou. The cause of the rebellion is still because of that one chicken! This chicken is probably the most expensive chicken in the history of the Ming Dynasty!

Liu Pei couldn't help but sigh when he saw the intelligence of Dengzhou's loss, and sighed that the inertia of history was so strong! Under his own influence, things remained unchanged and slipped into an irreparable situation.

Before Kong Youde's rebellion, a soldier broke into a house and forcibly demanded a chicken. When the master refused, the soldiers beat him up and snatched the chicken.

If this family is an ordinary person, it would be fine, but the owner of this family is the servant of Wang Xiangchun of the Wang clan in Shandong. Wang Xiangchun received a complaint from a servant, so he asked Kong Youde for an explanation. Kong Youde knew that the Wang family could not afford to offend him, so he sent the soldiers who caused trouble through the arrows to the camp.

Unbeknownst to him, this provoked even greater anger among the soldiers. The soldiers simply got tangled up and killed Wang Xiangchun's servant! Wang Xiangchun quit immediately after knowing about it, and said that he would find someone in the court to impeach Kong Youde, so that he couldn't eat and walked around.

Just when Kong Youde was riding a tiger, Li Jiucheng, the father of Li Yingyuan, the president of Qian, appeared. The careerist seized the opportunity to provoke a mutiny, fueled by the outrage of the soldiers. Kong Youde's soldiers turned from officers and soldiers to robbers, burning and looting everywhere, and marching towards Denglai. And it was designed by Kong Youde to take Dengzhou City.

In fact, Kong Youde set off a rebellion, which seems to have been triggered by a soldier stealing a chicken to eat, and then being humiliated by the owner of the chicken. In fact, the rebellion was accidental and inevitable.

First of all, when they were still in the Dongjiang Army, the rebels were basically fighting alone. There is almost no money. Even the occasional food is mostly moldy. So there is a lot of dissatisfaction with the imperial court. After Yuan Chonghuan killed Mao Wenlong, this dissatisfaction reached the extreme!

Secondly, they were always on the front line of the battle with the Houjin army, and the long battle made people very tired. Moreover, their own side is far inferior to the Houjin army in terms of equipment and logistical supply, so there are more defeats and fewer victories. For a long time, he has developed the psychology of being afraid of the Houjin army, and he doesn't want to go to Liaodong to fight at all.

After Mao Wenlong's death, Kong Youde defected to Sun Yuanhua, and with Sun Yuanhua's support, they were able to have a fixed source of food. So they finally lived a good life in Shandong for a few days, and they had to be transferred to the front line in Liaodong to die, and of course they were even more unwilling.

In addition, the Dongjiang Army thought that they had fought hard with the Tartars and should receive some preferential treatment. At the same time, the general military discipline of the Dongjiang Army was not very good, and it had a bad reputation in Shandong. Coincidentally, there is also a factor of xenophobia among the locals. The locals thought they were all incompetent waste, and even the Houjin Tartars could not be defeated, and they ate their food in vain. Therefore, the relationship between the Dongjiang Army and the locals in Shandong was very tense.

After the accumulation of these various reasons, it can be said that the Dongjiang Army and the locals of Shandong have had a long-standing grudge with the imperial court. Therefore, this rebellion of Kong Youde is just a general outbreak of problems that have been accumulated for a long time.

Liu Pei put down his hand

began to recall Kong Youde's marching route. Judging from Kong Youde's arrangement, he has the intention of demarcating the Jiaolai River and separating Jiaodong!

According to Kong Youde's thinking, his approach can be said to be offensive and defensible, and he can take the initiative in the negotiations with the Ming court.

After Kong Youde occupied Dengzhou as his lair, his attention was focused on the west. That is, from Dengzhou along the northeast coastline of Jiao, successively occupied Huangxian and Zhaoyuan, and then besieged Laizhou, and divided troops to attack Pingdu and Laiyang.

On the eastern front, although the armies of Ninghai and Wendeng in the Ming Dynasty also attacked Dengzhou through Fushan, Kong Youde did not seem to attach importance to this passer-by, but focused on developing westward.

From a strategic point of view, although Kong Youde does not read much, this move can be called the best policy. If the army marches eastward, it will naturally be difficult for the prefectures and counties east of Fukuyama to resist, and great results will be achieved in a short period of time. But in the long run, the Jiaolai River is a natural barrier in Jiaodong, and in the era of cold weapons, it is an ideal line of defense.

First march westward, control the first line of the Jiaolai River, cut off the eastern part of the peninsula and the mainland, Fushan, Ninghai, Wendeng and other places, just like the back garden of Dengzhou, ready to be taken at any time!

If this strategic goal is realized, Kong You's German army can go straight to Cangzhou and Tianjin along the coast, threaten the Beijing division, and retreat to cut off Jiaodong and claim the king's side. In the words of the Three Kingdoms Clock Society, it is "If it is done, it will win the world; If it doesn't work, it will be Liu Bei (cut off Shuzhong). ”

However, it was the strategic location of Laizhou that disrupted Kong Youde's plan. Laizhou's defense was quite tenacious, and it was difficult for the rebels to capture the city, so that later generations have been circulating the saying that "Laizhou is iron-beaten, and Dengzhou is paper-based".

Laizhou's insistence made Kong Youde have no chance to use the natural defense line of the Jiaolai River. The Ming Dynasty's counterinsurgency army crossed the river from Changyi and attacked the town of Shahe in Laizhou. In the battle of Shahe, Kong Youde was defeated and fled back to Dengzhou.

Liu Pei put down the information, took out a list from the table, hesitated for a moment, and then picked up a pen and ticked a few names on it. Then he handed it to Liu Jiang and said, "You can do it." ”

The people on the list are all big gentry in the Denglai area who are very unfriendly to Liu Pei. In particular, one of the places is Shandong Zhaoyuan.
