Meng Ke practiced martial arts in Cangzhou for fifteen years in his early years, and at the age of twenty-three, inspired by Yuan Chonghuan's victory in Ningjin, Meng Ke resolutely gave up his beloved wife and son, went to Liaodong to join the army, and threw himself into the Mo Li's account, and has been following him ever since. (?8 [一中?) Wen< Network ([ ?)].? ８}１］Ｚ}〕．］ＣＯＭ

At that time, Mo Li was just a small Qianzong.

Although Meng Ke has outstanding martial arts and brave combat, because he is relatively low-key, he has never shown his face in the army.

And after Mo Li was reborn through the crossing, he was not impressed by Meng Ke.

But now this time, Meng Ke's performance surprised Mo Li.

Zeng Tieniu's offensive is fierce and fierce, and it is true that foreign kung fu is very powerful, but when facing Meng Ke, he is often always a little worse, and there is always a feeling that he can't really fight, and he is completely led by Meng Ke.

The two exchanged tea kung fu, and finally Zeng Tieniu was punched in the left shoulder by Meng Ke, and by the way, he turned around and kicked on Zeng Tieniu's waist, kicked the volley seven or eight meters away, and fell to the ground with a bang, dusty.

Meng Ke also stopped pursuing, and said, "How is it?" You can't even beat me, and you still want to challenge our general? It's really overwhelming. ”

Zeng Tieniu lay on the ground for a while before standing up, gasping for breath at the moment, his face was white for a while, and his chest couldn't help but rise and fall.

Suddenly, Zeng Tieniu knelt down on one knee, clenched his fists and said, "General Mo, I'm serving!" I Tie Niu wants to join the general's command, please take the general in! ”

Mo Li laughed and said, "Okay! Seeing that you are also a man, this general can accept you, but our new Liao army may fight with the Tartars at any time! Are you afraid? ”

"Back to the general, the general is not afraid, and I am not afraid of Tie Niu!" Zeng Tieniu said loudly.

"Hahahaha...... Good! Good! Get up! General Ben has taken you! Mo Li laughed.

After that, Zeng Tieniu was absorbed into the Snow Eagle Brigade and became a team member.

It turned out that this Zeng Tieniu was a monk in Wutai Mountain, Shanxi, and was expelled from the mountain gate because of the reluctance to commit the precepts, Zeng Tieniu wandered all the way, the four seas as his home, and later heard that the Tartars were in Liaodong, he thought about going to Liaodong to join the army to kill the enemy, and when he came to Jinzhou, the Tartars have been beaten back. And the army that repelled the Tartars was the New Liao Army.

In the following days, heroes from all walks of life joined the Snow Eagle Brigade in 6 years, which at first reached more than 290 people, but later most of them were eliminated, and finally temporarily organized into two squads, with a total of 80 members.

Meng Ke was selected by Mo Li to be the captain of the Snow Eagle Brigade, and Chen Dayuan was the deputy captain.

The next step is to train strictly and hard, actively prepare for war, and strive to eliminate the Tartars as soon as possible, yes, extermination.

On that day, the Zalut Department of Sanbeile Oroenkatu came to the Great Tent of Huang Taiji, but because the Zalut Department was attacked by Lin Dan Khan, the Zalut Department sent the Three Beile to pass on the jade seal of the country and was willing to persuade the Mongolian tribes to be vassals to Dajin and promised to provide grain and grass in return, saying that Huang Taiji led an army to the Mongolian Lin Dan Khan Department in return.

Huang Taiji was already worried about Lin Dan Khan's refusal to attack the Ming Kingdom by the way, and this good thing sent to the door would naturally not be rejected thousands of miles, not to mention that as long as Lin Dan Khan was defeated, the Mongolian steppe would be his Dajin's back garden, so there was no reason to allow it?

On this day, Beijing, the Forbidden City, the East Warm Pavilion of the Qianqing Palace, late at night.

The twenty-one-year-old young man looked at the imperial case blankly, and there was a stack of pond newspapers on the imperial case, which said that it was all about civil unrest, and the front was still in the northwest, and now even Henan has caused civil unrest, and there is a tendency to become more and more intense.

According to local reports, the thief army in various places seems to have colluded, and I heard that the thief army has formed the so-called 36 battalions and elected the thief king Jiayin as the leader.

Under the leadership of Wang Jiayin, the thieves crossed the Yellow River eastward with Wang Ziyong, Gao Yingxiang, Lao Hui Hui Ma Shouying, Cao Cao, Luo Rucai, Li Zicheng, and Zhang Xianzhong, the eight kings, and gathered more than 200,000 displaced people, and have recently conquered Ningxiang, Shilou, Jishan, Wenxi, and Hejian Zhuzhou counties.

Wherever the thieves passed, they swept like locusts, and their houses were in tatters, and they were in shambles. As of the day before yesterday, in Henan alone, there were more than 80 officials of all sizes in the prefectures and counties who were lost to the thief army, and I heard that the thief army was now going to Kaifeng to kill it, and the governor of Henan sent people to report the urgency several times!

It turned out that since Wang Jiayin was defeated by Moli in the meander and fled, he immediately hid in the surrounding ravines and dense forests to continue to fight guerrillas. Later, Luo Rucai suggested that since the Pingyang army in Hequ was powerful and should not fight hard, it was better to avoid its edge, retreat into Henan to continue to make trouble, and recruit troops.

Wang Jiayin and others also agreed, so the rebel armies from all walks of life formed an alliance and went to Henan to fight together.

For a while, all parts of Henan were in an emergency, and they flew to Chongzhen's desk like snowflakes.

Wang Chengen stood aside, looking at Chongzhen's increasingly thin face, and couldn't help but feel secretly distressed in his heart. Wang Chengen is an old man who came with him from the palace, and it can be said that he grew up watching Chongzhen and has always been loyal to Chongzhen. Moreover, Wang Chengen is also relatively low-key and loyal, and after a long time, he also has a family-like emotion for Chongzhen.

Now I see that the Long Live Lord has trouble sleeping and eating every day, and there is not a day when he is not working hard for state affairs, and he is only in his early twenties, he is an energetic and fierce age, but he looks too haggard and emaciated.

And those ministers in the court are also true, but none of the civil and military forces in the Manchu Dynasty can really share the worries and solve problems for the Long Live Lord, so that the Long Live Lord worries about these state affairs every day, but he can only watch from the sidelines and do it in a hurry, and he can't help at all. Because he is only a eunuch, because the first dynasty has the lesson of Wei Zhongxian, Chongzhen hates eunuchs for interfering in politics.

Wang Chengen is an old man who has been following him for a long time, and he has a very thorough understanding of Chongzhen's temperament, so it is naturally impossible to casually violate Chongzhen's bottom line.

"Long live the ......" Wang Chengen was about to open his mouth to persuade Chongzhen to go to bed, when suddenly, Gao Qiqian shouted in a panic: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty! ”

Chongzhen frowned, what is the of this high and low dive in the middle of the night?

"Dive, what's the alarm?"

Gao Qiqian walked in quickly, hesitated, and said uneasily: "Your Majesty, Sun Yuanhua, the governor of Denglai, has an urgent report, saying that Kong Youde is rebelling in Wuqiao. ”

"Which hole is virtuous?"

Chongzhen was stunned for a moment, the territory of the Ming Dynasty is so vast, he really doesn't know who this Kong Youde is, but he knows what this Wuqiao is, it is a small county town on the border between Beizhili and Shandong, and it is under the jurisdiction of Hejian Prefecture.

Gao Qi hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, this hole has the old department of Mao Shuai of De Nai Pi Island, who was originally a miner and used to be a guerrilla of the Guangning Army. The "Mao Shuai" he said was the former general Pingliao who was killed by Yuan Chonghuan, and Mao Wenlong, who was captured by the former general Yin to guard the Dongjiang River.

"Since it is Mao Wenlong's old department, why did he rebel?" Chongzhen said strangely, Mao Wenlong is the chief military officer of Dongjiang, this Kong Youde is Mao Wenlong's old department, and now he should still be in Dongjiang Town, why did he go to Wuqiao, Beizhili, to rebel?

Gao Qiqian cleared his throat, calmed his breath, which was a little disordered due to the hurry, adjusted his thoughts slightly, and told the cause and effect of this incident.

It turned out that before Mao Wenlong's death, he had rebelled against Liu Xingzuo's brothers who surrendered to Houjin, and Liu Xingzuo joined Houjin's camp very early and was very appreciated by the old slave Nurhachi.

Liu Xingzuo's brothers have always been ambitious, and after returning to the Ming Dynasty, they served under Mao Wenlong, but they wanted to replace Mao Wenlong, but they couldn't start because Mao Wenlong's prestige was too heavy.

Later, after Yuan Chonghuan killed Mao Wenlong with Shang Fang's sword, Liu Xingzuo saw that there was an opportunity to take advantage of it, so he helped Yuan Chonghuan suppress the resistance of Mao Wenlong's old department, and finally won Yuan's appreciation.

Yuan Chonghuante divided the troops of Phi Dao into two associations, Chen Jisheng and Liu Xingzuo of Mao Wenlong's old department, each led an association, and later Liu Xingzuo was transferred to the mainland, and his brother Liu Xingzhi succeeded him.

The "Jisi Incident", Yuan Chonghuan was imprisoned for colluding with the enemy, Liu Xingzuo was attacked and killed in the mainland, and Liu Xingzhi, who had lost his background, was in jeopardy on the island, and Mao Wenlong's old department with Chen Jisheng was full of suspicion about him.

Liu Xingzhi was worried that he would be excluded from Phi Dao, so he led people to mutiny and attacked and killed Chen Jisheng, the leader of the East Association, in an attempt to dominate Phi Dao. However, after the imperial court got the news of Chen Jisheng's death, it sent the general soldier Huanglong, and Liu Xingzhi could not dominate Phi Island alone.

Mao Wenlong's old subordinates Zhang Tao, Feng Guoan and others were dissatisfied with Liu Xingzhi because of Chen Jisheng's death, and they launched a mutiny to attack and kill Liu Xingzhi and the Jurchen soldiers he led.

In the struggle between Mao Wenlong's old ministry and Liu Xingzhi's brothers, Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming have always stood in Liu Xingzhi's camp, and when Liu Xingzhi died, Kong Geng and Geng were squeezed out by Mao Shuai's old ministry and could no longer gain a foothold on Phi Dao, so they led their troops to surrender to Sun Yuanhua, the governor of Denglai. Sun Yuanhua appointed Kong Youde as the general of the left infantry battalion, and Geng Zhongming was sent to the Dengzhou fortress.

"Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming are serving under the account of Denglai Sun Yuanhua, why do they want to rebel?" Chongzhen asked strangely, why does this Kong have good virtue and good manners in Denglai as a general, why does he have to turn it around?

"Your Majesty, the reason why this Kong Youde rebelled is actually related to Zu Dashou being trapped in the Daling River." Gao Qiqian said.

"Oh?" Chongzhen became more confused: "What the hell is going on?" ”

"Here's the thing......"

When the news of Zu Dashou being trapped came, the imperial court urgently ordered Denglai to send troops to support Liaodong, and Sun Yuanhua neglected to use people and sent Kong Youde to lead the army. Kong Youde knew that the Jin soldiers were powerful, and he didn't want to fight with the Jin soldiers, but he didn't dare to disobey the order, so he resorted to delay, grinding all the way, and wanted to drag it out until the end of the war.

However, the siege battle fought by Huang Taiji in the Daling River, from the beginning of August to the beginning of October, lasted for two months, and Kong Youde did not drag it until the end of the war, but dragged himself down first.

When the troops arrived at Wuqiao, Hebei, the food had already been eaten, and the soldiers had no food to eat, and they were full of complaints. And there was a conflict with the local magnates, at this time Kong Youde had come to a crossroads, either to go to Liaodong to eat and fight with Jiannu, or to rob on the spot to fill the stomachs of the soldiers, he had no other choice but to make a choice between the two.

Kong Youde was in a dilemma, and in the end, at the instigation of the general Li Jiucheng and others, Kong Youde held high the anti-flag, captured and plundered Fu County, turned back to the Shandong Peninsula, and captured the cities of Linyi, Lingxian, Shanghe, and Qingcheng, and led his troops straight to Dengzhou. When the news came, it shook the government and the opposition.

His subordinate general Kong Youde rebelled, and Sun Yuanhua, the governor of Denglai, was even more anxious like ants on a hot pot, for fear that he would be held accountable by the court because of Kong Youde's rebellion, so he tried his best to settle the matter.

But after his analysis, he thought that Kong Youde's ministry was just taking risks because of the lack of food, which was a moment of confusion, and he was still loyal to the imperial court in essence, and still wanted to appease Kong Youde so as not to lose an elite army of the imperial court.

However, when Kong Youde's army killed Dengzhou and had no intention of surrendering, Sun Yuanhua once again neglected to use people, and sent the old Dongjiang generals Zhang Tao and Mao Yufeng to lead the Liao soldiers out of the city to meet the battle, and most of the Denglai general Zhang Ke jointly attacked Kong Youde.

This Zhang Tao and Mao Yufeng and Kong Youde were originally old acquaintances, and they had been friends before, Zhang Tao and Mao Yufeng decided to "participate in the grand event" with Kong Youde and fight for wealth and prosperity together. As the soldiers of Zhang Tao and Mao Yufeng were taken under Kong Youde's command, Kong Youde's strength was greatly strengthened, and most of Zhang Ke, who had lost his allies, was defeated and fled.

It was only at 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, so he could only urgently ask for help, hoping that the reinforcements from the imperial court could come as soon as possible to quell Kong Youde's rebellion......
