The rebels consolidated in Dengzhou for several days, mixing thousands of captured officers and soldiers with the main force of the rebels, and all the officers and soldiers who did not join the rebels were executed. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Most of the ships of the Denglai Naval Division were captured together, and even the commander Wang Yan was captured.

In order to expand their influence, Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming sent people back to the Dongjiang Islands to contact the various military leaders who were dissatisfied with the Ming Dynasty.

Put it on whom, the close commander was killed, his own family from his subordinates became a lost dog, from the center of the Dongjiang River to the desolate island, two or three years did not receive most of the salary, all relied on his own tuntian and smuggled Liaodong mountain goods to support, but also hated the imperial court to the core.

At the same time, in order to occupy the entire Denglai, and also to have a barrier in front of Dengzhou, Kong Youde, Li Jiucheng, and Geng Zhongming discussed, and Kong Youde and Li Jiucheng led the main force of the rebel army with 4,000 cavalry and 4,000 infantry to capture Laizhou.

And Geng Zhongming led more than 2,000 people and more than 3,000 sailors to stay in Dengzhou, you must know that there is still a tiger lying in Jinghaiwei, this is a tiger that loves to kill Jiannu, although this tiger and Jiannu are both defeated, but he is still a tiger.

Of course, Kong Youde Li Jiucheng's rebellion was beneficial to Zhao Lie and reduced Zhao Lie's pressure, and the imperial court could not take care of him for the time being.

Kong Youde also sent Zhang Wenhuan to reach an agreement with Zhao Lie, and the silver two were also offered, and the well water of both sides did not interfere with the river water, in fact, everyone understood that as long as Zhao Lie did not fight Fan Dengzhou, everything would be fine, and nothing would invade each other.

However, Kong Youde treats people with himself, and the agreement is waste paper, which can be torn up casually, so Zhao Lie has to guard against it. For this reason, he left Geng Zhongming with the main force of a thousand rebels, which were the old brothers who rebelled with them in Wuqiao, and their combat strength was quite strong.

On the 29th of the first month, Kong Youde's troops captured Ye County, and the 4,000 reinforcements of Yang Yufan, the general soldier of Tongzhou, and Wang Hong, the general soldier of Tianjin, who assisted Laizhou, also arrived in Ye County.

As soon as the two armies lined up, Wang Hong's troops immediately dispersed when they saw that the enemy was outnumbered. Yang Yufan was unable to support alone, and the two armies were slashed and killed by Kong Youde's rebels, losing nearly half of them and fleeing.

Kong Youde's rebels had no worries and turned back to attack Laizhou.

Xie Lian, the newly appointed governor of Denglai, and Xu Congzhi, the governor of Shandong, had just entered Laizhou, and they ushered in the main force of the rebels.

The two governors and Zhu Wannian, the prefect of Laizhou, organized the Laizhou guards and the young Zhuang to defend the city, because of the atrocities of Kong Youde's rebels in Shandong, the people of Laizhou City can be said to be united, and the rebels attacked the city several times. A stalemate broke out between the two sides in Laizhou.

In March, Liu Yulie, the squire of the military department, led a total of more than 20,000 cavalry troops under the command of Deng Xi, the chief soldier of Jimen, Liu Guozhu, the chief soldier of Baoding, Chen Hongfan, the chief soldier of Changping, and Liu Zeqing, the chief soldier of Shandong regimental training, to Laizhou to quell the rebellion.

In April, the two armies confronted each other at Shahe, and a major battle was imminent.

More than ten days later, in the Shidao conference hall, Zhao Lie'an was in the main seat, Zhao Meng, Xu Hong, Wan Ji, and Tang Xianwen. Huang Han, Li Lu, Li Hu, Du Li, Wang Quan, Han Jian, Guan Ming and others sat together.

Zhao Lie was carefully reading the letter sent by Du Lixin, and the others were discussing it enthusiastically, and the topic was not hindered by the general affairs of their respective jurisdictions and the chaotic and complicated situation in Dengzhou in front of them.

Wanji returned to Shidao for the first time in two years. I haven't seen everyone for many years, and the topic is constant.

Zhao Lie handed a stack of letters to Zhao Meng. Zhao Meng looked down until everyone finished reading.

"My lord is really like a torch, I knew that Kong Youde, a thief, could make such a fuss about Denglai, no wonder I didn't let me send troops in the first place." Huang Han had asked Zhao Lie to come out of the battle at that time.

At that time, he thought that Kong Youde would not be able to jump for long, so he would kill him as soon as possible, so as to ask the court for credit. is mainly to avenge the last revenge, and Huang Zongzhen is also a grudge.

However, Sun Yuanhua, the governor of Denglai, did not send an order to Jinghaiwei for a long time, and by the time the order came, Dengzhou had been lost for several days, and Sun himself had fallen into the hands of the enemy. How else to send troops, listen to whose military orders, Denglai is already leaderless.

"My lord, this time more than 10,000 people in Shahe Kong Youde defeated more than 20,000 reinforcements, and the court can say that it has lost face." Wanji sighed.

"Hehe, there are dozens of captured generals, more than 3,000 soldiers, ten Hongyi cannons, and the weight of the armor is not counted, this is the elite near Gyeonggi, no wonder the year before last Jiannu was like no one." Zhao Meng smiled bitterly and shook his head, they are all gods.

"Yes, now the rebels are now spreading that cutting the imperial court soldiers is like cutting leeks, so it is so light." Huang Han pouted, "The Dongjiang soldiers are defeated generals under Jiannu, and Jiannu is a defeated general under our army. ”

Everyone laughed.

"Ahem," Zhao Lie glanced at Huang Han, "First, our army defeated Jiannu several times, but it didn't fight with more than 10,000 Jiannu cavalry armor, and it can even be said that we are too big to be able to rub our hands together, but from now on, Jiannu will not let us go." ”

Zhao Lie looked around at the old courtiers under his subordinates, "If we are Jiannu, in the future, if we are in Dongjiang or entering Jinggi, we will pay attention to whether my army is out of battle, this is the first priority of Jiannu's army, because my army is the first strong army of the Ming Dynasty, and the rest are not counted." ”

When everyone heard this, they all straightened their waists unconsciously, this is the majesty of the Broken Army, and they are qualified to be proud.

"So how can we get the details of our army, so send people to my Shidao undercover and buy our army's soldiers, all of which are definite means, the general will say a word here, and now they have their details in Shidao, and the purchase of our army will also be underway."

When Zhao Lie said this, everyone's eyes turned to Du Li and Wang Quan.

The two of them were stared at by everyone.

Although they have been capturing Jiannu's fine work in the past two years, they really don't dare to guarantee whether Shidao still exists, if they say that they still have a heart, they think there is, but it is too difficult to arrest it.

After doing this, they realized how difficult it was to keep track of the work, and that there were people who came from all over the world and engaged in all kinds of work.

At the beginning, the fine work was easy to capture, but as Jiannu also knew the power of the Shidao Military Intelligence Division, they entered the investigation too secretly, which made the Military Intelligence Department and the Internal Security Department extremely headache.

"You don't have to look at them, and it's not easy for them, but Ben will tell them to get their errands done, and you wait for what I'm going to say today." Zhao Lie looked at Huang Han, Li Lu, Li Hu and others.

The three of them hurriedly looked at Zhao Lie.

"In the future, the Broken Army will go out of battle, except for the generals of the general town and the thousand general level, the others will not be known, and the scope of those who know will be narrowed to the minimum." Zhao Lie said.

The three of them bowed in response.

"This can increase the difficulty of Jiannu's detailed investigation, and in addition, once the military information is leaked, it is easy to find the source, just a few people."

The three of them were commanded.

"Furthermore, whether the Broken Army is a foot army or a sailor, it can send out all kinds of messages, such as where to practice and where to go out into battle, and it is not until the soldiers get on the ship that they know their final location." Zhao Lie looked at everyone, this is for everyone to work together.

All the people bowed down to receive the command.

"Regarding the matter of fighting against Jiannu, I will say it again, our army cannot fight a decisive battle with Jiannu at the moment, why, it is because our cavalry has not achieved great success. Without the success of the cavalry, my captive army can only sneak attack like the previous few times, don't get carried away just because you win a few times by luck. ”

The reason why Zhao Lie talked about fighting against Jiannu was because he found that some generals were complacent because of their successes, and they thought that Jiannu was nothing more than that.

Huang Hanga opened his mouth, wanted to say something, and closed his mouth again.

"Huang Han said, don't be too meaty like a mother-in-law." Zhao Lie looked at him.

The crowd burst into laughter.

"My lord, Jiannu's cavalry is a strong army, but our army has also defeated them a few times, too." Huang Han stiffened his neck and did not continue.

"The reason why I mentioned it today is because I see a fool like you who is self-righteous." Zhao Lie nodded his right hand and Huang Han smiled.

Everyone laughed this time, and Li Lu was even more funny.

Huang Han's face turned red.

"First, our army is not on the defensive against the enemy, that is to say, it is all in the home of our broken army to face the enemy, the rice and grain baggage is very easy to handle, if you go deep into the enemy's territory, or enter Gyeonggi again to fight, Jiannu will definitely send a large cavalry to harass the rear of our army, sneak attack our army's baggage, how to protect our army, our army does not have so many cavalry to protect. Once the baggage is damaged, our army will end up like the ancestor of Dalinghe. ”

Zhao Lie looked at everyone, and everyone had solemn faces.

"Furthermore, don't think that Jiannu is less than 100,000 soldiers to fight, this is earlier, since Jiannu occupied Liaodong more than ten years ago, they have lived a comfortable life, there are many Dingkou who were born, and there are many survivors, they are almost adults, and in these few years, their soldiers will exceed 100,000."

Everyone looked at Zhao Lie with solemn faces.

"In the end, Jiannu has two big thugs about to appear, one is the Han army, and now there are more and more Ming people who have fled to Liaodong to open up, and Huang Taiji's national policy of recruiting Han people to reclaim has been successful, and tens of thousands of elite soldiers can be trained from these Han people."

Huang Han shook his head.

"Huang Han, Ben will know what you want to say, what use these Han troops can be, right," Zhao Lie said with a smile.

Huang Han clicked his eyes in embarrassment, why did Lord Xindao target me today.

The others also snickered when they saw his embarrassment.

"We will send acres of land to the Jinghai Guard households, and exempt them from taxes, and you have seen how the reserve army they formed fought in Korea, so is the Han army on the opposite side also fighting to the end, they are also allotted acres of land, but our army is ten taxes one, they are ten taxes and five, however, they all ran from the Dongjiang River in Liaoxi, Shandong, from nothing to have acres, you said that Jiannu spoke, they are not fighting to the death with our army in order to keep the acres."

Zhao Lie said sharply.

The smiles on everyone's faces were put away, the answer was yes, they all knew that the Jiannu Han army was fighting to the end.

"Then a large number of Mongolian tribes took refuge in them, the last time they entered Kou Gyeonggi, they went to more than 20,000 people, and the next time, can they follow the army of 30,000 or 40,000 people."

Everyone nodded, this is undeniable.

"Then we are facing more than 100,000 heavily armored Jiannu, 40,000 or 50,000 Mongolian light cavalry, and nearly 100,000 Han troops. Think about it, can my broken army, which now has less than 20,000 cavalry troops and more than 20,000 sailors, be able to win in battle. ”

As soon as Zhao Lie's words fell, there was silence in the room. (To be continued.) )
