Not to mention the battles of the Qin army in Datong Town and Xuanhua Mansion, Shandong Kong Youde finally ushered in the most glorious night of his life, he defeated the last resistance force from the Ming court, the former deputy commander-in-chief of Sichuan, and later changed to Deng Xi, the commander-in-chief of Jimen near Gyeonggi.

"Has Zhu Dadian ever caught this?" Kong Youde is now very high-spirited, after all, the military power of the army in Dongjiang Town is about to be accepted, and there is Jin Hengsheng under his command, Shang Kexi has led troops to join, after the Ming army Guanning Iron Cavalry fled first, he quickly commanded three departments of nearly 8,000 cavalry to launch the pursuit of the Ming army, and the capture can be called a no-count, where the total soldiers of each town are below, above the generals, more than 30 people are killed, and the rest of the generals are countless.
Thanks to the Guanmen Iron Cavalry Battalion to make a desperate fight to the end, blocking the rebel offensive, only to get back a life, but the deputy general of the Guanmen Iron Cavalry Battalion Zhang Waijia was also heavily injured, and had to lead the remaining more than 3,000 cavalry and Jin Guoqi to lead the troops to defeat, and after crossing the Yellow River, a count, only to find that the total number of soldiers and horses was less than 5,000 cavalry, and the infantry was only 3,000.
"Back to the generalissimo, Zhu Dadian's body has been found, and the rest of the 31,800 Ming troops have been captured, please show the generalissimo." Because in the war, the Dengzhou army also went out of the city to attack, so the defeated generals of the Ming army were almost unspared, and most of them were killed in the subsequent battle, so that the total number of soldiers who were defeated in Shandong in the past was as many as more than ten people,
Zhang Tao, Zhang Keda, Wang Hong, Chen Hongfan, Liu Zeqing, Liu Liangzuo, Deng Xi, Huang Long, Mou Wenshou, Wu Anbang, Liu Guozhu, Yang Yufan, etc. were all killed in battle, where the governor Xu Congzhi, Zhu Dadian, Xie Lian was killed, Sun Yuanhua survived alone, the governor Liu Yulie was beheaded, and the imperial court lost more than 100,000 troops before and after, and since then in the north of the Yellow River, there is no main force that can resist the thief army.
And the Guan Ning army is ready to wait and see how the situation changes at this moment, they no longer exist as the loyal army of the imperial court, and the Ming imperial court seems to have reached a dead end in an instant.
"Organize all the captured Ming troops into the war camp, give them silver, and send them back to Beijing, and the lone king will build the country and call the system."
Kong Youde looked at Dengzhou City in the east, and he knew that his general Geng Zhongming was leading his army to join him at this moment, and in the whole world, I am afraid that only Li Jing of Shanxi can compete with him.
"Meet the King~!"
All Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and others all bowed to the ground, and governed the power of this great victory, Kong Youde called the king in the east of Laizhou Mansion in Shandong, called the king of Qi, with Shang Kexi, Geng Zhongming, Jin Hengsheng, Mao Chenglu and four people were ordered to be generals, plus Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, Li Yingyuan, Mao Chengfu as the general of Feng'en, and the rest of Xu Erxian, Ban Zhifu, Gao Chengyou, Chen Guangfu, Ma Shouying, Luo Rucai, Li Yangchun, and Tuo Xianling were each generals!
Then, the army that was renamed the Qi Army, with an absolute superiority of troops, first broke through the Jiaozhou Mansion to the east, and then swept through the remaining prefectures and counties in Qingzhou.
……
"General, His Royal Highness the King of Qi has an order, ordering us to attack Nanzhili from north to south, and capture Fengyang together with Zhang Xianzhong." Shandong to Xuzhou Mansion along the river official road, everywhere is the marching Qi army troops, after all, after the expansion of Li Zicheng now has tens of thousands of troops, and there is a trend of intensification, after all, 300,000 Caoyun army is not boasting, after the Caoyun is cut off, these people are either recruited by the local Ming army to prepare to quell the rebellion, or they are caught in the hands of thieves, forced to join the army to participate in the war.
"Okay, it's finally our turn to go into battle this time." Li Zicheng laughed on the horses on the march, he started the army from Mizhi to today, and finally was able to live a good life, this time the general Ma Shouying and Luo Rucai, Li Yangchun three departments, plus the Ming army and local Cao Yun soldiers and horses, his total strength has actually reached 30,000 people, this time it is no longer the so-called old, weak, sick and disabled, but a real 30,000 young and strong.
As Kong Youde's strength grew, so did his followers.
"General, why is it our turn to act with Zhang Xianzhong's guy this time?" Li Yangchun rode a war horse and was not far from him, and immediately came up and said unhappily when he heard the words.
"What else? That King of Qi is nothing more than trying to balance my army's horses," Li Yan said disdainfully when he heard this, and then looked to the west, as if he was looking at something.
"That's it, these eight kings, now that they are so fat, they are no longer something we can afford to provoke." Li Zicheng smiled bitterly when he heard this, don't look at the strong army behind him, but it can't be compared to Zhang Xianzhong, after all, the main force of the Ming army was captured that day, except for those family troops who were exposed, most of the rest were Zhang Xianzhong's subordinates.
"Yes, Zhang Xianzhong is very fat now, he has taken refuge in King Qi, and he has 20,000 elites when he opens his mouth, counting the income he has obtained from looting in the place, I am afraid that there will be no 50,000 or 60,000 elites now?" Ma Shouying said enviously, and then kept silent, because the stronger Zhang Xianzhong is, the worse the status of these people, who let Li Zicheng not be treated by Kong Youde.
"Okay, find a place to camp, and send someone to contact the Eight Kings to see how this battle is distributed." Li Zicheng thought for a while, and then ordered his military horses to start resting on the spot, after all, out of the provincial border, their food had to be sent from the rear.
"Where are Tuo Xianling and He Jin?" After camping, Li Zicheng ordered the men and horses to greet these former leaders of the rebel army with good wine and meat, and then asked.
"Back to the general, Tuo Xianling led the troops to go first, and now I am afraid that I am almost in Xuzhou, and there is no resistance from the main force of the Ming army along the way, and He Jin guards my family's grain team, and it is still in Shandong." Ma Shouying, as the number two person in Li Zicheng's group today, can be regarded as taking on the logistics of the entire army.
"Our team is too long, this can't work, although Zhang Xianzhong is walking in front of us in the west, but we don't need to fight with him, this person's heart will always become." Li Zicheng said profoundly, and then laughed first,
"General, what do you mean?" Ma Shouying didn't understand a little, after all, they and Zhang Xianzhong didn't agree with each other, which everyone knew.
"I laugh at that Kong Youde is shameless, and he tried in vain to command our righteous army, more than 30,000 Ming troops who surrendered to Chengcheng, except for the selection of 10,000 of them, all the rest were scattered to us, but it was called raising tigers, and now we and other righteous army departments have developed no less than 100,000 people, especially Zhang Xianzhong's support army of 50,000 or 60,000 elites, can An Neng continue to be with Kong Youde?" Li Zicheng laughed for a while, and then immediately spoke.
"General, you mean, we've reached the point where we can stand on our own?" Yuan Zongdi waved his hand, and seemed to be a little excited, after all, this feeling of being controlled by others made him extremely uncomfortable, thinking that although he was chased around by the officials and soldiers before, he couldn't stand his freedom.
"It's not impossible to be the king of oneself, but we have to lay down a piece of territory first, don't you look at Kong Youde this time after using us, and we also replenished the military horses, but as soon as he backhanded, didn't he treat us as a bird and send us to the south? We were also ordered not to enter Henan, which was his own place. Tian Jianxiu also opened his mouth, after all, in these years, the cavalry could not fight in Jianghuai, Kong Youde also saw this, so he first tried to occupy Henan, and then waved his army north to attack the Beijing division.
"Hmph, his abacus is a good fight, but he ignores that we are rogues, how many soldiers and horses can be pulled up at once, thanks to the foresight of the general, he pulled He Jin to the south at the beginning, which does not directly contain more than 10,000 Cao Yun soldiers and horses, as soon as we go south, we will directly grow a lot, although he does not give food, but can this stump our righteous army?"
Ma Shouying laughed, after all, this Kong Youde used to be a Liao person, even if he conquered the county seat in various places in the south, he would be attacked by the Ming army around him, he couldn't stand up at all, but now the situation is completely different, the so-called army of the imperial court has gathered in Shandong and Henan, and the Shandong force was eaten by them together, and the soldiers in Henan were dragged by Kong Youde's army and Li Jing's Qin army.
"The Eight Kings are estimated to be dragons that have entered the river, and they will feather and soar as soon as they are encountered!" Li Zicheng pondered for a while, Zhang Xianzhong's strength was stronger than him, and now the two sides were in trouble again, but the situation was very favorable, so he gave up, and Li Zicheng was not reconciled.
"No matter what he does, there are more than 40,000 people in our several ministries combined, does Zhang Xianzhong still dare to come to fight us?" Li Yangchun is now unaccustomed to Zhang Xianzhong everywhere, perhaps since he killed the old leather camp for his own power, everyone has become strangers.
"Then you mean to part ways with Kong Youde directly? Let's lay a ground in Nanzhili and then go directly to Nanjing? Li Zicheng thought about it, it seems that this is fine, but who knows if Zhang Xianzhong will take the opportunity to beat them?
As soon as he said this worry, everyone didn't talk much, after all, who is not worried, saying that he is not afraid of Zhang Xianzhong, it is definitely impossible, after all, the newly trained Caoyun army cannot be used as the main decisive battle, their old camp and the Ming army accepted are not more than 10,000 elites, where is it compared to Zhang Xianzhong who ate the elite of 20,000 troops in one go?
"If you want me to say, Zhang Xianzhong will never give Kong Youde his life, now he has fifty or sixty thousand horses, as long as he can occupy a territory in Huguang and have food to alleviate the supply of the army, then he will definitely choose to stand on his own." Ma Shouying, who saw it, shook his head and said. (To be continued.) )
