The eleventh person, Kong Youde, a Manchu general in the late Ming Dynasty, 89 in force, 90 in commander, 74 in intelligence, and 80 in politics;

Kong Youde was born in the 30th year of Wanli, was born as a miner in Tieling, "long in a bow horse and illiterate". In the first year of the Apocalypse, after the Later Jin occupied Liaoshen, Kong Youde and his brother Kong Youxing defected to the Ming general Mao Wenlong, participated in the victory of Zhenjiang, and then transferred to Phi Island in Korea.

He had a close relationship with his fellow villager Geng Zhongming, and it is said that he worshiped Geng Zhongming as his brother-in-law, and later people called him "Kong Geng". Kong Youde was "brave and good at fighting, the first to ascend to the battle, and the crown of the generals", and was promoted to a general. Mao Wenlong accepted him as his adopted grandson and gave him the name Yongshi. He was very grateful to Mao Wenlong for his kindness, so much so that after you became the vassal queen of the Qing Dynasty, he still "said about the current affairs of the general, and he was invincible".

After the Battle of Salhu in the 47th year of Wanli, the Later Jin regime rose rapidly in the Northeast, and by the time of Chongzhen, it had basically controlled the Northeast region, and the Shandong Peninsula had become the front line of the Ming Dynasty's defense of the Later Jin army crossing the south.

From the Apocalypse to the early years of Chongzhen, Mao Wenlong's troops took Jinzhou on the coast of Liaodong and Phi Dao in Korea as their bases, and repeatedly attacked the rear of Houjin, posing a threat to Houjin. However, this army had bad military discipline, did not obey the command of the Ming government, risked military salaries, and harassed the localities, causing the Ming government to worry.

In the first year of Chongzhen, Yuan Chonghuan supervised Liaodong and took the opportunity to execute Mao Wenlong, and his old department was under the command of deputy general Chen Jisheng. Kong Youde thought that Mao Wenlong was "innocent and cruel", felt very cold, and was depressed all day long, so he defected to Sun Yuanhua and went to Denglai with Sun Yuanhua.

In August of the fourth year of Chongzhen, Huang Taiji led the Houjin soldiers to attack Dalinghe City, and Zu Dashou was trapped in the city. In October, Sun Yuanhua sent Kong Youde to support the Daling River from the sea, but was killed by a hurricane at the Sancha River. Later, the military department ordered it to march by land, Sun Yuanhua led 800 cavalry to the front line to reinforce, but the Liaodong soldiers of Dengzhou were at odds with the Shandong people, and the soldiers were miserable along the way.

On the 27th day of the 11th month of the leap month, when Kong Youde arrived at Wuqiao, due to heavy rain and snow, the troops were not well fed, and the soldiers did not give money to eat at the house of Wang Xiangchun, a large family. The next day, Li Jiucheng persuaded Kong Youde to launch the Wuqiao Mutiny, return to Dengzhou, break the city under Geng Zhongming's internal response, and call himself the marshal of the capital.

In the first month of the fifth year of Chongzhen, Kong Youde's troops marched east to besiege Dengzhou, and Dengzhou was in an emergency, and Sun Yuanhua, who was defending here, still believed that he could appease Kong Youde and neglected to take precautions. Kong Youde took the opportunity to let more than 300 of his subordinates surrender, infiltrated Dengzhou City, conspired with Geng Zhongming and others in the city, and took advantage of the night when people were asleep, attacked inside and outside, occupied Dengzhou City, and captured Sun Yuanhua and Ming garrison Song Guanglan, sub-patrol Wang Mei and other officials.

The general soldier Zhang Keda held on to Shuicheng for several days, and finally because he was outnumbered, Shuicheng fell, and Zhang Keda committed suicide in Taipinglou after killing his wife and concubine. Sun Yuanhua soon fled back to Tianjin, where he was executed by the Ming government and Yu Dacheng was deposed. Soon after, Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming and others attacked Huangxian again, and the Ming court urgently ordered Xie Lian to be the deputy imperial envoy to Denglai, and promoted Xu Congzhi to the governor of Shandong, and let Xu Congzhi garrison Laizhou City in case Kong Youde moved westward.

In February of the fifth year of Chongzhen, Kong Youde led an army to besiege Laizhou, Xu Congzhi and Xie Lian resisted desperately, and at the same time asked the imperial court for help. However, Liu Tongzhu, the chief soldier who went south from Beijing, did not dare to go to Laizhou to relieve the siege although he arrived in Shandong, and Zhou Yanru, a scholar, and Zhang Guochen, the head of the military department, proposed to appease him, and Zhang Guochen and others also volunteered to go to the front of the battle to appease Kong Youde and others.

The hesitation of the main force of the Ming Dynasty and the huódòng of the main Fu faction further boosted the arrogance of Kong Youde and others, and he recruited 3,000 people, including Chen Youde, a Ming general stationed on Phi Dao, to join the rebellion. The rebels even attacked the city of Laizhou with all their might. Regarding the appeasement behavior of some officials in the Ming Dynasty, Xu Congzhi, Xie Lian and others, who insisted on Laizhou, resolutely opposed it.

Under the leadership of Xu Congzhi, Xie Lian, and Zhu Wannian, the prefect of Laizhou, the soldiers and civilians guarding Laizhou "prepared food, set up garrisons, and held the enemy for several months." Under the siege of the rebels, although the city had reached the point of running out of ammunition and food, it still refused to open the city and surrender. The Ming commander-in-chief Deng Ku and Wang Hong had already led 10,000 Sichuan soldiers from Changyi to help, only 40 miles away from Laizhou, but they received orders to stop, hoping to succeed in appeasement. Seeing this, Kong Youde desperately attacked the city, and the governor Xu Congzhi personally went up to the city tower, was hit by rebel artillery fire, and was seriously wounded and died. His death inspired the determination of the soldiers and civilians of Laizhou to defend the city, "the Laizhou people felt their righteousness and could not hold on."

In July of the fifth year of Chongzhen, Laizhou had been besieged for four months, but some officials of the Ming government were not in a hurry to relieve the siege of Laizhou, but had been using the means of appeasement to treat Kong Youde. Due to the strong defense of Laizhou, it was difficult for the rebels to succeed for a while. Kong Youde saw that the attack on Laizhou could not be stopped, so he used trickery again and wrote a letter to the governor Liu Yulie, expressing his willingness to be appeased and surrendered, but he wanted to meet Xie Lian to negotiate. Liu Yulie sent Qu Yiyang, a magistrate, into Laizhou City, Xie Lian believed that it was true, and first asked the prefect Zhu Wannian to go out of the south gate to meet Kong Youde, and Kong Youde told Zhu Wannian that he was willing to surrender.

Zhu Wannian returned to the city to inform Xie Lian of the situation, and Xie Lian, Zhu Wannian, Zhai and Liu, two eunuchs sent to supervise the army, went out of the city to meet Kong Youde and read out the imperial court's edict to let him surrender. Kong Youde had already prepared, and immediately asked his subordinates to capture the four people, and took advantage of the city gate to open wide, and urgently ordered the siege of the city. Seeing that the situation was critical, Zhu Wannian shouted to close the city gate and was killed by Kong Youde. The Ming army urgently closed the city gates, and Kong Youde's plan to break the city failed.

After Xie Lian was captured, the Ming government failed to appease him, so he urgently ordered reinforcements from all walks of life to attack Kong Youde. Kong Youde saw that the situation was not good, withdrew to Dengzhou City, and Wu Xiang, the general soldier of the Ming Dynasty, led the army to conquer Zhaoyuan and Huangxian, and the siege of Laizhou was resolved. In September of the same year, the Ming army besieged Kong Youde's rebels in the city of Dengzhou. In October, the Ming army began to attack the city, the battle was very fierce, the Ming deputy general Ding Sihou, the general Cheng Zhongwen, and Zu Banglou were killed in the siege, and the main general of the rebel army, Li Jiucheng, was also killed by the Ming army's artillery fire.

Kong Youde saw that Dengzhou was difficult to protect, and on February 13, the sixth year of Chongzhen, he led nearly 10,000 rebels to break through the siege, abandoned the city and boarded the ship and fled. Huang Long, the general soldier of the Ming Dynasty stationed in Lushun, Changshan, and Ludao, expected that Kong Youde's troops would pass through Changshan and Lushun and defect to Houjin after the defeat. After Kong Youde's troops landed in the Lushun area, Huang Long led his troops to ambush and captured Kong Youde's generals Mao Youshun, Mao Chengfu and others, and defeated the rebels. Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming and others led the rest of the troops to flee to Gaizhou, switched to Houjin, and begged to beg in a letter and said:

In order to directly state the heartfelt song, in order to make a big event: to shine on the Zhu Dynasty to the present, the lord and the young ministers have been treacherous, and the side affairs are getting worse day by day, not for a day. The soldiers were clamoring, and they were everywhere, not only for this reason. The former Feng Ministry transferred to the west for aid, there was a lack of money and food, and the market was closed along the way, and there was no food during the day, no sleep at night, and he swallowed his anger. When they arrived at Wuqiao, they were controlled by evil officials, so that the soldiers revolted. Then the new city was broken, the state was broken, and the states and counties were subdued. Last year, there were three books, all of which were not recovered, and they were all intercepted by Huang Long in Lushun. After four episodes of reinforcements, he was besieged for half a year, but he had a deep ditch and a high base, and did not fight with me.

He had a lot of soldiers, and I had little food, so I had to abandon Dengzhou and drive the boat division, and I wanted to take Lushun as the first to take Lushun as the foundation, and connect with the Khan, who knew that the hurricane was strong and drifted to Guanglu Island. Ben Shuai will take the opportunity to subdue Guanglu, Changshan, Shicheng Islands, if you talk about the sea, why not go unfavorable? The end is not the end. For a long time, Yang Ming Khan has gathered heroes in the sea, with the minds of Yao, Shun, Tang and Wu, and those who have no piece of armor and only arrows, still want to sweat to show the great hug in the chest; What's more, this commander has tens of thousands of armored soldiers, more than 100 light boats, and artillery and firearms. With this armament, and the Ming Khan work together, the land and water go hand in hand, the momentum is like a bamboo, who in the world dares to be the enemy of the Khan? It's a genuine warm-heartedness, and it is. If Khan obeys, great things will be accomplished, and the world of the Zhu Dynasty will be the world of Khan in an instant.

It is the wish of the commander that Shi Ming Khan gave me what position and where I was sealed. Liu Chengzu and Cao Shaozhong, the special deputy generals, were the first guests, and Khan quickly took this opportunity to become his great event, that is, the blessing of God and the luck of this handsome! But if the Khan does not believe, let him send to see what is true and false. Ben Shuai does not go to other places, alone to the Khan, with the wisdom of Khan, he will become a big thing in the day, so follow the ancients to abandon the dark and turn to the light, I hope to observe it in detail.

In April of the sixth year of Chongzhen, they led more than 10,000 rebels and their families to meet with the Houjin soldiers led by Zierharang, Azige, and Dudu at the mouth of the Yalu River, and were asked to shave their hair, and the Denglai Rebellion ended.

Because Kong Youde brought the fleet, Hongyi cannons and craftsmen urgently needed by the Houjin, Huang Taiji attached great importance to their surrender, personally led Zhubeile out of Shengjing ten miles to greet them, and used the most solemn "hug ceremony" of the Jurchens to treat each other, still took him as the marshal of the capital, placed Tokyo, formed an army of his own, called "Tianyou soldiers", and gave special treatment, and then led the Houjin soldiers to capture the journey of Huanglong.

On the occasion of the establishment of the Qing Empire in the ninth year of Chongzhen, Kong Youde was appointed as the king of Gongshun and persuaded as a representative of the Han officials. In the winter of the same year, Kong Youde and other Sanshun kings acted as the vanguard of the Qing army, leading 6,000 Qing troops to attack Korea, forcing Korea to surrender to the Qing Dynasty, leaving the Ming Dynasty without a reliable neighbor and an important force in the east to contain the Qing army southward. In the later wars of the Qing Dynasty against the Ming Dynasty, Kong Youde also participated in most of them and made great contributions.

In the first year of Shunzhi, after the Qing army entered the customs, Kong Youde followed Duoduo to pursue and suppress Li Zicheng and the armed forces of the Southern Ming Dynasty, and suppressed the anti-Qing struggle in various parts of the Yangtze River. After the triumph, he was also stationed in Liaoyang.

In the third year of Shunzhi, he was awarded the general of Pingnan and attacked the Yongli regime of the Southern Ming Dynasty, and from then on Kong Youde began to command the army alone. He occupied the Hunan region, but was defeated by Qu Shiyun and others in Guilin. In June of the fifth year of Shunzhi, Wuchang waited for the order to change the defense, during which Jin Shenghuan and Li Chengdong opposed the Qing Dynasty, and the Qing troops from all over the country asked Kong Youde for help, but Kong Youde did not send a single soldier.

After Kong You's Durban division returned to Beijing, the situation in the south tended to be stable, and the Qing court planned to transfer the king of Sanshun to the south, at first it was decided to defend Fujian with Kong Youde, and Shang Kexi was happy to level Guangxi, but Shang Kexi thought that Guangxi was located in a remote area, the situation was complicated, and he intended to resign, at this time Kong Youde "resolutely took western Guangdong as an invitation", so the Qing court approved it, renamed him the king of Dingnan, led an army of 20,000 to Guangxi, and took his family to defend it.

In November of the seventh year of Shunzhi, Kong Youde led the Qing army to break Guilin, captured Zhang Tongchang, Qu Shiyun and Zhu Hengshu, the king of Jingjiang, and so on. At first, Kong Youde treated them like guests, and later because he intercepted Qu Shiyun's secret about Jiao Lian's siege of the city, he executed Qu and Zhang at the foot of the Xianhe Ridge in Guilin's Fengdong Mountain, and Zhu Hengshu, the king of Jingjiang, was hanged in a house outside the West Gate.

Kong Youde occupied almost the entire territory of Guangxi in the following year, but behind the surface scenery was the end of the crossbow. In the ninth year of Shunzhi, Li Dingguo, the king of Xining, led the East Route Army to recover most of Hunan, and went south to Guangxi, heading straight to Guilin.

In June, Kong Youde, the king of the south of Qingding, personally led his army to Yanguan in Xing'an County, and refused to defend it, and the Ming army broke the Qing army with an elephant array and won the victory in the battle of Yanguan. Kong Youde rushed back to Guilin in embarrassment, ordered the city gate to be closed, and was in a panic.

Li Dingguo took advantage of the victory to chase to Guilin and surrounded the city. On the fourth day of the seventh month, the Ming army climbed the ladder to attack the city, Kong Youde had been hit by an arrow in the forehead, he knew that he was cornered, so he ordered his wife and concubine to hang himself, he set fire to the palace, bowed to the north again, and killed himself. His son Kong Tingxun was captured by the Ming army during his escape, and only one daughter, Kong Sizhen, escaped.

Emperor Shunzhi heard the news of Kong Youde's death, gave the name Wuzhuang, two years later Kong Sizhen returned to Beijing with his father's remains, and Emperor Shunzhi ordered the ministers above the third grade to welcome and give a thick burial. Kong Youde's son Kong Tingxun was beheaded by Li Dingguo in the fifteenth year of Shunzhi, Kong Youde was the heir, and his daughter Kong Sizhen was adopted as an adopted daughter by the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang.
