Wuqiao (now Hebei), heavy rain and snow. In a military camp, it was obvious that there had just been a fierce debate, and at this time, everyone's eyes were focused on the general Kong Youde, and the meaning was obvious: We have all said it, you can take the big idea.

At that time, it was the leap November of 1631 A.D. (the fourth year of Chongzhen).

Kong Youde, a native of Gaizhouwei (now Gaixian County, Liaoning Province) in eastern Liaodong during the Ming and Qing dynasties, the word Ruitu.

Although he knew what the crowd meant, he nevertheless allowed them to fully express their opinions and argue fiercely about them.

Seeing that everyone was like this, knowing that their opinions had been unified, he smiled secretly, cleared his throat to emphasize, and then said: "We were originally under Mao Wenlong and Mao Shuai, although we didn't do much, but we also repeatedly attacked the rear of Houjin and effectively contained Houjin.

In order to prevaricate the big words of 'five years of Pingliao' and negotiate peace with Houjin privately, Yuan Chonghuan actually killed Mao Shuai, and vowed to treat me well, who would have thought that just three months later, Yuan Chonghuan was also arrested by the imperial court.

Hmph, whether you arrest or kill, it has nothing to do with our brothers, but what shouldn't be that our brothers have fallen into the hands of our stepmother since then, and it is not uncommon for us to receive awards for meritorious service, and the court should always give the least food, right?

Fuck, he just won't give it, oh, he's in trouble, but he remembered our brothers, and asked us to go and support Liaodong. Even if you support Liaodong, he still doesn't fucking pay for food.

This rain and snow, the brothers are still starving, the brothers are right, why should we still work for this corrupt court? “

Speaking of this, he was actually angry, stood up on the ground, and said: "I'll fuck it, Lao Tzu won't do it, Lao Tzu will be the marshal of the capital, and he will find a way to live for his brothers." “

When everyone heard this, their blood inevitably boiled and they cheered in unison.

Kong Youde was extremely complacent in his heart, so he just looked at them with a smile, and when their cheers gradually stopped, he said, "There is one more thing that must be reminded of everyone." “

When the people heard this, they fell silent and waited for him to speak.

He continued: "As we all know, since we were scattered and stationed on the southern Liaodong Peninsula, the northern coast of Shandong, and the islands of Long Island in the Bohai Bay, from time to time there have been small groups of brothers who have rebelled and made trouble, and as a result, all of them have been annihilated, and they have also affected the nine tribes. “

As he spoke, seeing that everyone was stunned, his face showed fear, and he continued: "What I mean by this is to tell everyone that once we turn back, there is no turning back. Anyway, no matter life or death, I am determined to rebel, if there are any of you who don't want to rebel, you can quit, as long as you can keep the secret for us, no matter how difficult it is, we will also make up enough money for you to go home. “

The crowd fell silent again, clearly weighing the pros and cons. However, just after a while, they said: "I have thought about it, going to Liaodong is a death, going home is also a death, horizontal and vertical is a death, it is better to die like Shaanxi." “

Kong Youde said: "Good, generous. Since we are all determined to die, we may not die so easily. Isn't that what Shaanxi is all about? Someone survived.

However, there is still a difference between us here and Shaanxi. I don't know if you have noticed, with the rise of Houjin, we have become the front line to block Houjin's southward advance, and the imperial court will do its best to clear it.

Of course, this is a negative side, but there is also a positive side, hmph, it's really urgent, it's a big deal, let's invest in the back. “

At this point, the audience did not respond, knowing that they were a little reluctant, and had to add: "I'm talking about urgency, when it's a last resort." Anyway, where do we people go not to be soldiers and eat food, and whose food is not to eat?"

After speaking, he peeked at everyone, and seeing that they were still sullen, he raised his voice and said: "I know everyone's thoughts, you might as well think about it patiently, we have our backs to the sea and are familiar with the islands on the sea, how can we be forced to be in a hurry so easily?"

In addition, if we suddenly raise troops, the imperial court will not be guarded, we can develop and grow ourselves quickly, and when they know, we will definitely not be the current 3,000 people, but tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands.

At that time, we can echo the Shaanxi side. This is not a dream, but a reality. Shaanxi is full of displaced people, why don't we have it here? “

Everyone was relieved, and said one after another: "Okay, as long as you don't be a dog of a foreign race, but according to Marshal Du's orders." “

"Hmph, as long as you follow the opposite, you can't do it all to us?" Kong Youde thought secretly and said, "Okay, Marshal Pontus ordered that from now on, it will be reversed and the Ming Dynasty flag will be replaced." “

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and immediately moved according to the order, not mentioning.

Just to say the facts, Kong Youde expected, the imperial court was not prepared, and there were constantly homeless people along the road to join, the anti-Ming army grew rapidly, and the momentum was like a bamboo, and it broke through Shandong Ling County, Linyi, Shanghe, Qingcheng, Xincheng and other cities, and arrived in Dengzhou in a few days.

Zhang Keda, the general soldier of Mingdeng Prefecture, and Sun Yuanhua, the governor of Mingde, combined troops with Kong Youde's rebels fought in the east of the city. The official army won a great victory, the governor Sun Yuanhua advocated peace and appeasement, the general soldier Zhang Keda resolutely opposed, missed the fighter, and Sun Yuanhua's troops were mostly Liaodong people, the army was weak, there was no combat power, the Ming army won first and then lost, and the soldiers were lost a lot.

In the first month of the fifth year, Sun Yuanhua's generals Geng Zhongming and Dusi Chen Guangfu and others secretly colluded with the rebels, and led the German army into the city through the east gate in the middle of the night, and Dengzhou fell. Sun Yuanhua and others were captured, and Zhang Keda committed suicide.

More than 20 Western cannons and more than 300 medium artillery pieces were stored in the city, as well as nearly 100 Portuguese and foreign gunners and craftsmen and a large number of trained artillerymen, all of which were acquired by the rebels.

The rebels increased their strength greatly, and then captured Huangxian (now Longkou City) and Pingdu.

Yang Yufan, the deputy general of the Ming army, and Wang Hong, the general soldier, led more than 10,000 troops from Changyi (now Changyi City) to suppress, and were defeated in the new town, Wang Hong fled first, and Yang Yufan resisted for two days and could not win, and broke through into Laizhou.

Kong Youde gathered his troops and horses and turned to attack Laizhou, but he couldn't attack it for a long time.

On this day, Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming were discussing the siege strategy of Laizhou, and the Chinese army hurriedly came in and said: "Marshal Qiyudu, the Ming general Sun Yinglong led 3,000 soldiers and horses to attack from the sea. “

Kong Youde was at a loss, and said impatiently: "Okay, let them come, come one, destroy one of them; Come two, let's destroy him a pair. “

The Chinese army turned around and wanted to go, Geng Zhongming hurriedly said "and slow", turned to the Chinese army and asked, "What banner did Sun Yinglong fight?" “

Zhongjun said strangely: "Fu." ”

Geng Zhongming let out an "oh" and said, "In this case, let's accept the appeasement." “

Kong Youde said angrily: "What did you say? “

Geng Zhongming said with a smile: "Accept the appeasement, he will be defenseless, let's take the opportunity to kill him, wouldn't it just take his ship, maybe he will be able to use it in the future." “

Kong Youde was stunned for a moment, thought it was true, and acted according to the plan, and sure enough, he succeeded.
