Chapter 159: The Old Things of the Dongjiang River are rich and dangerous

"Which hole is virtuous?"

Chongzhen was stunned for a moment, he really didn't know who this Kong Youde was, and what kind of place this Wuqiao was.

Gao Qi hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, this hole has the old department of Mao Shuai on De Naippi Island, which was originally a laborer and used to be a guerrilla for the Guangning Army. The "Mao Shuai" in his mouth is the former general Pingliao general who was killed by Yuan Chonghuan, Mao Wenlong, who hung the seal of the former general and opened the Dongjiang River. After Yuan Chonghuan's death, the imperial court had rehabilitated Mao Wenlong, and Chongzhen also spoke highly of him, so Gao Qiqian did not dare to call him by his name, but called him "Mao Shuai".

"Since it is Mao Shuai's old department, how can it be opposed?"

Chongzhen is a little strange, Dongjiang Town is still in the hands of Daming, this Kong Youde is Mao Shuai's old department, and he should still be in Dongjiang Town, why did he go to Wuqiao to rebel? The heart is getting more and more confused.

Gao Qiqian didn't know how to answer this question for a while, Cao Huachun saw that he couldn't say it, and knew that the opportunity had come, so he hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, Kong Youde's rebellion, the slave and maid know a little, in fact, Kong Youde's rebellion has long been indicated, and its chaos is not in Wuqiao, but in Phi Island. ”

"Not from Wuqiao, born from Phi Dao?"

After hearing this, Chongzhen was even more puzzled, he knew that Daopi Island was an island located at the mouth of the Yayu River, and it was also a base built by Mao Wenlong to resist the Dongyu. If Yuan Chonghuan hadn't killed him, I'm afraid that the Liao affair would not have collapsed to such a point.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but hate Yuan Chonghuan even more. But what Cao Huachun and Gao Qiqian said, he didn't know Lu Dao at all, so he was even more confused, I don't know what the relationship between Lu Dao and Phi Dao and Mao Wenlong is, what is "not Wu Qiao, born in Phi Dao?" Therefore, he said to Cao Huachun a little impatiently: "What the hell is going on?" You make it clear to me. ”

"Yes, yes."

Cao Huachun responded twice, glanced at Gao Qiqian with some smugness, and secretly said that there is finally something in this world that you don't know.

In fact, if it weren't for the fact that he was in charge of the East Factory, and the East Factory had detectives on Phi Dao, Cao Huachun would not know about Kong Youde. But now that he knows the Tao and the emperor asks again, Cao Huachun is naturally happy to give it up one by one, so as to show that his ability is not lower than that of Gao Qi and Qian.

At that moment, he cleared his throat, straightened his thoughts a little, and blurted out at the moment: "Your Majesty, in fact, before Mao Shuai died, he had rebelled against Liu Xingzuo's brothers who surrendered to Dongyu, and Liu Xingzuo joined the camp of Dongyu very early, and was very appreciated by the old slave Nurhachi, who handed over all the Jin, Fu, and Hai prefectures inhabited by the Han people in Liaodong to Liu Xingzuo's jurisdiction. However, when the old slave was alive, he had always carried out a high-pressure policy towards the Han people in Liaodong, so Li Yongfang, Liu Xingzuo and other Han officials were inevitably bullied and excluded by the Eastern Emperor. Speaking of this, he paused and looked towards Chongzhen.

Chongzhen was listening attentively, and when he saw him stop abruptly, he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Go on." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Cao Huachun immediately continued: "After Mao Shuai knew that Liu Xingzuo's brothers intended to return to the Ming Dynasty, he personally rebelled against the two of them, and finally Liu Xingzuo's brothers successfully avoided the surveillance of the Jurchens and fled back to Phi Dao, and since then they have served under Mao Shuai. However, the Liu Xingzuo brothers have always been ambitious and want to replace Mao Shuai, but because Mao Shuai's prestige is too heavy, they can't start, and after Yuan Chonghuan faked the holy decree to kill Mao Shuai, Liu Xingzuo saw that there was an opportunity, so he helped Yuan Chonghuan to suppress the resistance of Mao Shuai's old department, and finally got Yuan's appreciation. Yuan Chonghuante divided the troops of Phi Dao into two associations, the east and the west, and asked Chen Jisheng and Liu Xingzuo of Mao Shuai's old department to lead a association, and later Liu Xingzuo was transferred to the mainland, and his brother Liu Xingzhi succeeded him.

"Jisi Incident", Yuan Chonghuan collaborated with the enemy and was imprisoned, Liu Xingzuo was attacked and killed in the mainland, Liu Xingzhi, who had lost his background, was in a precarious position on the island, and the old Mao Shuai department headed by Chen Jisheng was full of suspicion about him. Liu Xingzhi was afraid that his position would be shaken, so he took the risk and led people to launch a mutiny, attacking and killing Chen Jisheng, the leader of the ASEAN, 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. ”

Hearing this, Chongzhen finally knew that he knew something, and nodded: "Send Huanglong to be the chief soldier of the Dongjiang River, I know the Tao." What about the back? ”

Cao Huachun hurriedly said: "Mao Shuai's old subordinates Zhang Tao and Shen Shikui were dissatisfied with Liu Xingzhi because of Chen Jisheng's death, so they launched a mutiny to kill Liu Xingzhi and the Jurchen soldiers he led. ”

Gao Qiqian suddenly interjected: "Gonggong Cao, what does all this you say have to do with Kong Youde?" ”

Chongzhen also said: "You pick up the important ones and say, don't go around." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Cao Huachun glanced at Gao Qiqian curtly, and said silently, "According to the investigation of Dongchang, in the struggle between Mao Shuai's old department and Liu Xingzhi's brothers, Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming have always stood in Liu Xingzhi's camp, so when Liu Xingzhi died, Kong Geng and the others were squeezed out by Mao Shuai's old department and could no longer gain a foothold on Phi Dao, so they led their troops to invest under 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. ”

"Since Kong Geng and the others are in Denglai, why do they want to rebel?" Chongzhen is getting more and more confused, Denglai is far away from Liaodong, across the sea, this Kong is virtuous and dignified in Denglai, why is it going to be reversed?

"This slave is hard to guess."

Kong Youde rebelled against Lu, and Cao Huachun didn't know about Ludao, he only knew about the grievances of the generals in Dongjiang Town, and he didn't know much about the others.

Chongzhen asked Gao Qiqian again, Gao Qiqian also didn't know, he only knew that Lu Daokong Youde led his troops to Wuqiao and suddenly stopped moving forward, but pulled the flag and rebelled.

In fact, the reason why Kong Youde rebelled in Wuqiao was related to Zu Dajian's trapped Dalinghe City. When the news of Zu Dazhu's 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 was very afraid of slaves, and he was unwilling to lead his troops out of the customs to fight with Jiannu, but he did not dare to disobey the order, so he resorted to delay, grinding all the way, wanting to drag on until the end of the war. However, the siege battle fought by Huang Taiji in the Daling River lasted for more than three months since the end of June, and Kong Youde did not drag it out 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. At this time, Kong Youde had already reached a crossroads, either going to Liaodong to eat and fight with Jiannu, or robbing on the spot. He had no choice but to choose 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 sighed: "The general (Mao Wenlong) is famous, and it is inevitable that my generation will die too late." Current affairs are like this, and it can be done! ”

After sighing, he raised the anti-flag, captured and plundered the prefecture and county, turned back to the Shandong Peninsula, and captured the cities of Linyi, Lingxian, Shanghe, and Qingcheng, and led the troops to Dengzhou. When the news came, Geng Zhongming was overjoyed and actively prepared to respond secretly.

Sun Wuhua, the governor of Denglai, was even more anxious and had no idea, but he did not immediately report Kong Youde's rebellion, but wanted to solve it himself and report it to the court afterwards.

However, when Kong Youde's army killed Dengzhou, Sun Yuanhua once again neglected to use people, and sent Zhang Tao, the old general of Dongjiang, to lead the Liao soldiers out of the city to meet the battle, and attacked Kong Youde with most of Zhang Ke's troops. Unexpectedly, Zhang Tao and Kong Youde's old relationship recurred, and Zhang Tao's soldiers were immediately absorbed by Kong Youde, and most of Zhang Ke, who lost his allies, was defeated and fled.

It was only at this time that Sun Yuanhua woke up like a dream, knowing that Lu Dao could not suppress Kong Youde's Liaodong soldiers with his own ability, and hurriedly sent fast horses to the Beijing division to report to the army.

The fast horse is almost the capital where the Liao soldiers report at the same time, the difference is that one is to go to the military department, and the other is to go to the general political department, so Cao Huachun only knows that the Liao soldiers are coming to the army, but he doesn't know that Denglai is coming to the fast horse.

In his opinion, Kong Youde only had a few thousand Liao soldiers under his command, and it was a sudden incident, and Sun Yuanhua, the governor of Denglai, was too incompetent, which made Kong Youde even fall into the prefecture and county, as long as the imperial court chose a cadre to supervise the troops, Kong Youde's ashes were just a matter of rimmon. After weighing the pros and cons, he chose to go to the palace to report the good news, but when he saw that Cao Huachun had already taken the lead in himself, and the emperor was not too pleased with the Liaodong military report, he turned his mind and brought out Kong Youde's rebellion - he had already thought of a clever plan that could not only make a great contribution to himself, but also make a lot of money!

As the so-called wealth is sought in danger, today the heavens have sent a great wealth to themselves, if they don't take it, the heavens will be destroyed.
