It's all when the farm is busy, what kind of trouble is this kind of moth to the king, how can he gather all the people? Moreover, it is a phalanx of soldiers and a phalanx of serfs, so isn't it the soldiers who monitor the serfs around?

When noon arrives, all the truth will come out, and at this time, there is no need to keep it secret.

Kong Youde looked at Chen Shao'an, and when he saw him nodding, he said loudly: "Do you know why I, Kong someone, went to Jianyu at the beginning of the year to bring you all from all over Liaodong to this Liaohe Pingyuan?" ”

"......" Hearing this, almost everyone was dumbfounded, what is the situation?

Didn't King Gongshun always call himself "this king", why did he change his name to "Kong someone"? Also, the most important thing is that he dared to call the Qing Dynasty a prisoner, is this crazy?

Although they thought so, they also understood that they were afraid that something big was about to be announced. Thinking like this, the people of Daming all looked at him excitedly, while those soldiers felt a little indescribable.

If the prince led them to rebel against the Qing Dynasty, it could be, but this was in the hinterland of Liaodong, could they escape back? If you can't escape, as soon as the Qing cavalry arrives, won't the whole army be wiped out, and everyone will die together?

Seeing these puzzled expressions of everyone in front of him, Kong Youde was very useful, and finally he didn't have to hide it, and he could make it public.

He clenched his hands into fists, signaled from the direction of Jingshi, and then continued to say loudly: "To make a long story short, Kong will atone for his sins, and by the will of the Ming Emperor, he summoned you over, just to save you as much as possible, and then the emperor will send someone to pick you up and return to the Ming Dynasty!" Nowadays......"

Speaking of this, Kong Youde stretched out his hand and pointed at Chen Shao'an before continuing: "Now, the people have come, you can return to Daming immediately, you don't have to be oppressed by Jianyu anymore, you can go home!" ”

Today's Ming people, in fact, the vast majority of them were plundered from the Guannei. Originally, the Han people in Liaodong were basically killed by Jianjiao, and they couldn't survive so much.

At this time, when they heard that Kong Youde had actually been ordered by Emperor Daming to save them back to Daming and go home, they suddenly showed incredible expressions, and they felt that happiness came too suddenly, too unreal but didn't believe it!

Seeing that they didn't believe it, Chen Shao'an also shouted loudly: "I am Chen Shao'an, a guerrilla general under the command of the Baoding Governor of the Dongjiang Army, maybe you don't know me, but the emperor once exchanged my mother from Jianyu with Dai Shan, you should know about this, right?" Now I am ordered by the emperor to come to pick you up and return to the customs, and after a while, Marshal Wu will soon be able to lead the troops to arrive. ”

This news is like a boulder thrown into a pond, which suddenly stirs up a thousand waves. Whether it was the people of the Ming Dynasty or those ordinary soldiers, they could no longer remain silent, and they suddenly exploded.

"What, he's the man? The emperor actually exchanged Prince Li for his mother? ”

"It's not just Prince Li, I heard that there are also the lives of three thousand Jianyu soldiers!"

"So, this is true, can we really go back to the gate?"

"Did you hear that, it was a general soldier who came to pick us up, so there must be at least three or four thousand people, right?"

“……”

All the people began to believe this, so naturally, they could not suppress the excitement and excitement in their hearts, and whispered about it.

However, in the midst of these excited words, some people became worried. Looking around left and right, looking ahead again, hesitating for a moment, and finally shouting loudly: "My lord, this is the hinterland of Liaodong, even if the emperor sends someone to answer, how can we escape back?" Jianyu will definitely not let us go, and will send cavalry to chase us! ”

"Yes, my brother is right, it's too far back to Guannai here!" The other man shouted along, and it was the brother of the man before.

Kong Youde heard it and couldn't answer, because he also thought so before. As a last resort, he turned his head to look at Chen Shaoan, this question could only be answered by him.

When Chen Shaoan heard this, he first smiled, and then replied loudly: "Don't worry, the emperor has already thought about it, and he will definitely save you." Don't you know that the emperor has put a lot of effort into saving you safely......"

As he was saying this, he suddenly faintly heard what seemed to be rumbling thunder in the distance, and then the earth seemed to shake.

At this time, everyone was diverted from the prestige. Because they all know that it is not really thunder, but that there are cavalry coming.

Sure enough, to their left, in the far reaches of the plain, a red line was rolling in. Just a little bit of a closer look. They all recognized that it was a long-lost soldier of the Ming army.

Suddenly, everyone was silent, and their eyes were a little complicated.

It is the inaction and incompetence of the imperial court officials and soldiers that they will be ruined and killed, and they will be plundered to Liaodong; But in front of them, it was the imperial court officials and soldiers who were thousands of miles away, and they really had to go deep into Liaodong to rescue them.

In this way, under their silent gaze, the cavalry in the distance got closer and closer, and a big banner with the word "Wu" fluttered in the wind. Under the flagpole, a member of the Ming General came majestically surrounded by the guards.

"This is Marshal Wu, the chief soldier of the Beijing camp, who came to receive you back by the emperor's order." Chen Shaoan shouted loudly and introduced them.

The people of Daming came back to their senses, thinking that they would be able to return to Daming after all, thinking that the emperor was at least thinking about them, sending someone to take them back, and being able to get rid of the place of suffering in front of them, so they hid the sadness they had just gotten up in their hearts and were happy again.

Not long after, Wu Sangui swept in with about 3,000 riders.

Kong Youde and Chen Shaoan hurriedly greeted each other and introduced each other.

Without waiting for Kong Youde to speak, Wu Sangui turned over and dismounted, punched Kong Youde and said: "The emperor has an explanation, you must take your family out, this is not far from Tieling, is it enough for this commander to give you a thousand cavalry?" ”

When Kong Youde heard this, he was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly thanked the saint, and said that it was enough.

In Tieling City, he has already asked the housekeeper to be there, and he can respond to it at any time, he led a thousand cavalry back, how much is enough!

So, he immediately led his troops to prepare to go back to Tieling, but at this time, he remembered something, so he stopped his horse again, and hurriedly asked: "Dashuai, how can you bring so many people back to Guannei?" ”

"Hehe, you don't have to worry about this, you'll know when you come back from Tieling!" Wu Sangui listened, but replied with a smile.

Then, he turned his head to look at the endless grain fields, sighed and said, "It's a pity, wait until you beat away Jianyu, and then plant it again!" ”

The so-called soldiers are fast, Kong Youde listened to it, and did not delay any longer, so he led the troops back to Tieling first, leaving the doubts that always had in his heart in the bottom of his heart.

And Wu Sangui accepted the ordinary soldiers and the people of the Ming Dynasty here, and he also had a lot of things to do, so he immediately got busy.

A few days later, when Kong Youde returned with his family, he was stunned when he saw everything on the Liaohe Plain.

As far as the eye could see, there were all herds of horses, and it could even be said that almost everyone rode them. If it weren't for the fact that he saw those Ming people wearing their original tattered clothes, still so skinny, Kong Youde would even suspect that the Ming cavalry had come over.

Seeing him like this, Chen Shao'an, who greeted him, explained with a smile: "In the last battle of the grassland, didn't a lot of horses be captured, and the emperor asked Wu Dashuai to bring them, and everyone rode back, so that the speed is much faster, and they should be able to return to the gate safely." ”

This...... That's a lot of work! Kong Youde was stunned when he heard this. Tens of thousands of horses, how much wealth this must have, if an accident happens, it is a very big loss. However, the emperor still sent it out, just to welcome these Ming people back!

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Your Majesty, this is a true love for the people like a son!" ”

Historically, there have been many people who love the people like sons, whether they are emperors or officials. However, if you want the emperor to really take action like today, it is too little.

Hearing his emotion, a nearby Ming people, leading the horse assigned to him, also echoed in a very respectful tone: "That's not it, after I go back, I will set up an immortal tablet for the emperor, and I will bless the emperor Long live, long live, long live!" ”

People are not plants and trees, who can be ruthless. Even if the officials and soldiers of the court were incompetent before, how could they not be moved by these things that the emperor has done for them now!

It was for this reason that another Ming citizen said even louder: "Lord, the emperor is fighting in Haizhou in order to save us." We asked Wu Dashuai to fight Jianlu together, but Wu Dashuai refused to agree, so the prince helped to intercede, right? ”

They didn't adapt for a while, and they still called Kong Youde "the prince";

Kong Youde didn't understand what was going on, so he turned his head to look at Wu Sangui.

Chen Shao'an, who was on the side, took over the topic and said: "The marshal still has a will, taking advantage of the emptiness of Liaodong, he will give Jianyu a ruthless one." Therefore, Dashuai can't go back yet, let them go first, but they all have to stay, and they also want to follow Jianyu! ”

When Kong Youde heard this, he thought to himself that more than 20,000 people were still riding horses, which was indeed an extraordinary strength. At this time, the power of Jianyu is fighting with the emperor in Haizhou, except for a few cities such as Shengjing and Liaoyang, which should be able to fight a dozen!

Thinking so, he immediately became excited, looked at Wu Sangui, and when he was about to speak, he saw Wu Sangui pointing at the people with his hand holding the horsewhip and said: "You see how thin they are, they can't fight at all, even if they ride back, they can't run fast." ”

Speaking of this, he paused and then said: "This time Ben Shuai is still here, firstly, to respond to the emperor, and secondly, to cover that they can go back safely." The emperor has a strict decree, and he must rescue them, but Ben Shuai does not dare to disobey the decree. ”

"Yes, the marshal leader can come and go like the wind, if there are more of them, they can't do this, but it will be a burden." Chen Shaoan also explained on the side, "But I can't stand these people's gratitude and retribution, so I have to kill Jianyu." The handsome had no choice but to select more than 1,500 people whose physical conditions were okay to stay. ”

When Kong Youde heard this, his expression immediately became serious, he clasped his hands into fists, and said to Wu Sangui: "The last general is familiar with Liao affairs, and he is willing to be the vanguard of the great commander and beat the prisoners!" ”

When Wu Sangui heard this, he immediately frowned. If Kong Youde can stay, it is indeed good, after all, as he said, he knows the situation in Liaodong best. However, he shook his head and said: "I don't believe it, the emperor has explained, saying that you can complete this matter, which is already a great achievement, and you can go to Beijing with your family to settle down." ”

Hearing this, Kong Youde was very moved, he didn't expect the emperor to be so attentive to him, but it was precisely because of this that he strengthened his mind to stay, and he said in a categorical tone: "The emperor is still fighting in Haizhou, how can the last general leave." Didn't the marshal want to be led by the last general and really hurt Jianlu, so that Jianlu had to withdraw his troops immediately to relieve the enemy's situation on the emperor's side? ”

At this time, none of them knew that Emperor Chongzhen had retreated to Yaozhouyi and had already let Jianyu surround him.

Hearing that what Kong Youde said was indeed reasonable, thinking about the emperor's safety, Wu Sangui no longer insisted, so he nodded and said, "In this way, this handsome is right!" ”

Kong Youde listened, didn't say more, just hugged his fists hard, and then went back to his own home, and explained to his son Kong Tingxun seriously: "Dad has decided to stay, after you return to Daming, you must take care of the family, remember, Daming is our real home, don't forget, don't have resistance, understand?" ”

To be honest, Kong Youde's family, including his son and daughter, were still confused at this time. Hearing him say this, he could only nod subconsciously.

Kong Youde glanced at his wife, but did not speak again, pulled the reins again, turned the horse's head, and went to work again.

It didn't take long for Kong Youde to come out with five hundred of his original soldiers, come to Wu Sangui, clasp his fists and said: "Dashuai, these five hundred men and horses can be carried by the last general, without cutting the whip, still dressed as a Tartar, for the handsome forward, kill Jianyu by surprise, and you can get twice the result with half the effort!" ”

Wu Sangui nodded when he heard this, yes, this is a good way.

After that, they didn't stay long. The harvested food, the people and the army brought enough food on the road, and then there was a lot of food left, which could only be burned in a fire.

On the grain pile, the fire was blazing, and the 500 Ming soldiers led 20,000 Ming people and Kong Youde's family to detour to the grassland in the north and return to the customs according to the original plan.

On Wu Sangui's side, there were more than 3,200 cavalry troops in Beijing, in addition to Kong Youde's 500 cavalry army, and more than 1,500 cavalry selected from the people to form an army that overturned the river and the sea, led by Kong Youde, and went into the hinterland of Liaodong.

In their first battle, they were ready to come to a ruthless one and give Jianyu a big "surprise".
