After receiving the urgent report from Dengzhou, Zhu Dadian, the new governor of Shandong, immediately led the Lu troops to Dengzhou, and sent people to send an order to the Liao army still in Cangzhou, asking them to rush to Laizhou within seven days to stand by. レレ

After receiving the military order, Shi Dayong made a little inquiry to the comer, and after knowing that the governor of Ludao had rushed to Dengzhou with his troops, he immediately sent an order to go down, and the whole army went east to Dengzhou.

At this time, Gao Qiqian, the eunuch of the prison army, who was supposed to act with Zhu Dadian, took the Beijing camp and stationed it in Shang County, Hebei Province.

Shang County is only 110 miles away from Dengzhou, and only 50 miles away from Laizhou.

Shang County was captured by Kong Youde's rebels seven days ago, and after the rebels plundered the county seat of Shang County, they followed the example of the Eastern Captives two years ago when they entered the Kou, and swaggered towards Laizhou in the east with the captive men and animals, and the Hebei officials and troops did not dare to intercept them along the way.

Although Zhu Wannian, the prefect of Laizhou, had the intention to intercept, he was powerless, and his troops and horses were not Kong Youde's opponents at all, so he could only rely on the fortified city and did not dare to attack at all.

The officers and soldiers are so virtuous, how can they not make the rebels even more arrogant, and they will never take any officers and soldiers in their eyes again

Gao Qiqian set off from Beijing on the second day after the Jinzhou army went south, and unlike the Jinzhou army that went south through Tongzhou to Xianghe, Gao Eunuch led the Yongwei battalion to set off directly to Tianjin with a fast horse and whip, and then went directly to Shangxian.

It is said that Shang County is not far from Dengzhou, and it can be reached in three days, and if Gao Qiqian immediately supervises the troops to the east, he will definitely be able to join Zhu Dadian's Lu soldiers under the city of Dengzhou, and then flank the rebels with Sun Yuanhua inside and outside the city.

In terms of troops, although Kong Youde claimed to be 100,000 people, there were only more than 1,000 capable fighters, and among the 5,000 soldiers and horses brought by Zhu Dadian from Dezhou, in addition to 3,000 Lu soldiers from Shandong, there were also 1,800 Zhejiang soldiers left by the former governor Yu Dacheng.

These 1,800 Zhejiang soldiers are not small, they are the direct blood descendants of the Qi family army that shocked the north and south back then, and they are also the only Qi family army that survived after the bloody battle of the Hunhe River.

In the first year of the Apocalypse, Nurhachi led a large army to besiege Shenyang. Ming Dynasty guards He Shixian, You Shizhong out of the city to engage with the enemy because of anger, both in the ambush were killed, tens of thousands of Mongolian hungry people in the city cut down the bridge Ying Jin army, known as the impregnable Shenyang was broken in one day, 70,000 soldiers and civilians in the city were killed.

At that time, those who were ordered to sail to Shenyang were the Sichuan army and the Zhejiang Qijia army that traveled thousands of miles north. When Shenyang fell, the two militaries went to the south bank of the Hunhe River, and for a while they lost ground and fell into a desperate situation.

In the end, Chen Ce, the commander-in-chief of the Sichuan Army, and Tong Zhonghua, the commander-in-chief of the Zhejiang Army, made the deployment of taking the initiative to attack, replacing defense with attack, and waiting for reinforcements in a bloody battle when the enemy was strong and we were weak.

In the battle, the Sichuan army and the Zhejiang army together were less than 10,000 people. However, the Jin army numbered 40,000 people, and all of them were cavalry.

From the very beginning, this battle was destined to be a bloody battle between the weak and the strong, and the less against the more

After the battle began, the Ming army launched a suicide attack on the Jin army, and Yu Tu crushed the enemy in one fell swoop.

Qi Jin, the chief general of the Qi family army and Qi Jiguang's nephew, commanded the Qi family army, which was good at firearms, and set up a car formation on the south bank of the Hunhe River. The young Sichuan generals Zhou Dunji and Qin Minping led more than 3,000 Sichuan soldiers to cross the river from the Hunhe pontoon bridge, and rushed to the Eight Banners Army on the north bank.

These Sichuan troops who did not look back used their lives to buy time for the Zhejiang army, as long as they could hold on until the Ming army arrived, or held out until the night, there was still a glimmer of life.

The Sichuan army, which had the heart of death, successively defeated the Zhengbai and Zhenghuang banners, killing and wounding more than 2,000 Jin soldiers.

The Jin army could not be defeated, so they had to send artillery from Shenyang City to Fushun General Li Yongfang, completely covering the entire Sichuan army's position, and the Jin army then swarmed up, and finally broke the brave Sichuan army.

Most of the Sichuan army generals Zhou Dunji and Qin Minping were killed in battle, and only a few people rushed across the pontoon bridge and returned to the camp on the south bank of the Hunhe River of the Qijia army.

The Sichuan army was defeated, the Zhejiang army was besieged, and finally, the moment of decisive battle came.

The Jin army crossed the Hunhe River and first launched an attack from the left flank with the forces of the Four Banners. The Qi family army, which hurriedly set up the formation, used the car formation and the well-trained fire gun triad array to meet the enemy, but there were still fierce Jin cavalry who broke through the fire net and rushed to the front of the car formation, and at this time, the Ming army immediately rushed out of the soldiers holding the special weapon of the Qi family army, the iron wolf, and stabbed him down.

After two rounds of attacks, more than 3,000 people were killed or injured by the fall of the Jin soldiers. When the two sides were at a stalemate, a bad news came - Huang Taiji, who was sending reinforcements from the periphery, actually repelled 30,000 Ming reinforcements with a few thousand people in the area of Baitapu.

The Qi family's army was cut off from foreign aid, and there was no way out. Nurhachi gave a death order, allowing the Eight Banners to attack in turn, regardless of casualties. One side attacked to the death, the other side defended, the Ming army was the most rear, and the car formation was finally broken.

After the Jin army broke into the car formation, the Qi family army immediately formed the world-famous mandarin duck array with the whistle as a unit, and launched a tragic hand-to-hand combat with the enemy.

After the battle reached its climax, the encirclement was gradually compressed due to being outnumbered, and the physical exhaustion caused by two consecutive days of rapid marching and fierce fighting.

After the commander-in-chief Chen Ce killed more than ten enemies, he died of exhaustion. The chief soldier Tong Zhonghua wanted to evacuate the battlefield, but Qi Jin grabbed his horse and shouted: The husband will serve the country today!

When Tong Zhonghua heard this, he immediately turned around and entered the battlefield with Qi Jin, and fought until the evening, and the only dozens of remaining Qi family sergeants surrounded Qi Jin and Tong Zhonghua in the middle, and their mandarin duck formation was still not chaotic, like a reef in the stormy waves.

In the twilight, the golden soldiers are surrounded on all sides, but they have lost the courage to fight hand-to-hand in close combat. After the last, ten thousand arrows were fired, and the muddy river fell......

In the battle of the Hunhe River, only a few Qi soldiers who broke through in advance and stayed in Liaoyang survived, and the Ming court sent people to comfort the labor army and promised a heavy reward, but these soldiers refused with tears, did not ask for a reward, but only wanted to go to the battle again, vowing to avenge Qi Jin and other fallen soldiers - ten days later in the battle of Liaoyang, these Qi soldiers outside the pass were all killed, and no one survived.

Hearing the bad news of Liaodong, the main conscription place of the Qi army, Yiwu, Ningbo and other places, wrote a letter, saying that the country has been fighting for many years, and because the Zhejiang soldiers are good at fighting, they have been constantly conscripted and killed and wounded, and the men here have gone to seven or eight. In the end, the imperial court ordered that no more troops should be recruited from Yiwu and Ningbo.

When the imperial court officially ordered that the Qi family army should no longer be formed, there was a Qi family army of less than 3,000 people who was setting off from his hometown to Liaodong, which was thousands of miles away.

Their commander is Qi Jiguang's nephew Qi Hengyi, and the purpose of going to Liaodong is to follow Qi Jin's order - to go out of the customs and fight to the death with the Jurchen Tartars!

When he arrived in Shandong, the news of the annihilation of Qi's army in the Hunhe River came, and Qi Hengyi wept bitterly and vowed to avenge his father.

However, this wait has been ten years, and Qi Hengyi and the three thousand Qi family army have not been recruited by the imperial court to fight again.

A year ago, the civil unrest in the northwest spread, and the imperial court had no soldiers, so it ordered Hengyi to go north with the 3,000 Qi army to quell the chaos.

When he first arrived in Henan, he had not yet fought with the thieves, but he was urgently transferred to Shandong to participate in the pacification of Kong Youde's rebellion, and was under the unified command of the governor of Shandong. After that, the 3,000 soldiers of the department were divided into two parts, one was temporarily transferred to Dengzhou, commanded by Zhang Keda, the chief soldier of Dengzhou, and the other was commanded by himself, staying in Shandong to standby

Yu Dacheng, the former governor of Shandong, initially advocated the extermination of the rebels, but when he saw that the rebels were strong in combat and attacked the county all the way, and the official army was unstoppable, he lost the courage to continue fighting, and together with Sun Yuanhua, the governor of Denglai, advocated the appeasement of Kong Youde. Because of the change in attitude, he was ridiculed by Shandong officials as the White Lotus Governor. As a result, the Son of Heaven was furious, degraded him, and made Zhu Dadian, the right-hand capital of the imperial capital, who had meritorious service because of Pinghongmao, be the governor of Shandong.

After Zhu Dadian and the eunuch Gao Qiqian led the 5,000 Beijing battalion to the south, they thought that they could wipe out the rebels in one fell swoop, but as soon as they fought, the 5,000 Beijing battalion was crushed by the 600 rebels.

Afterwards, Gao Qiqian felt that it was difficult to resist the enemy with the Beijing camp alone, so he discussed with Zhu Dadian, and he entered Beijing to report to the Son of Heaven, and transferred the Liao army that could fight to help, and Zhu Dadian immediately went to Dezhou to rectify the Shandong Lu army, and after he transferred the Liao army, the rebels were attacked in the north and south.

The soldiers and horses who can fight are coming, and Zhu Dadian naturally has no opinion. At that moment, the governor and the supervising army parted ways, one went to Beijing, and the other went to Shandong.

After Zhu Dadian arrived in Dezhou, he ordered the garrisons from all over the country to come to Dezhou to assemble as the governor, and Qi Hengyi, who was in Shandong, also received the document of the Shandong governor's recruitment, so he led his troops to come to Dezhou to obey the order.

Shandong has been peaceful for a long time, and there are few wars in the territory, so the combat effectiveness of the Lu soldiers is low, and it is difficult to use it. Although Qi Hengyi's department has not been in battle for ten years, it is after the famous Qi family army, so Zhu Dadian attaches great importance to them, and after receiving the urgent military report from Dengzhou, he immediately took the 1,800 Qi family troops and 3,000 Lu soldiers who could barely go to war to aid Dengzhou in the starry night

It stands to reason that Shangxian is only three days away from Dengzhou, and if you set off immediately, you will definitely be able to join Zhu Dadian's Lu army to flank Kong Youde's rebels.

But Gao Qiqian seemed to be determined to ignore Dengzhou, so he stayed in Shangxian and didn't move!

A group of generals in the Beijing camp saw that Gonggong Gao did not send troops, so they were naturally happy not to ask, and they were all afraid of the rebels now. When I thought of the strength of the rebels, I was terrified, and now the rebels did not come to fight them, it was a great luck, where did they dare to take the initiative to fight the rebels.

Anyway, the court blames it, and the unlucky one is also his high eunuch, what does it have to do with us.

In fact, Gao Qiqian didn't want to go to Dengzhou to relieve the siege, but he was also terrified now that he was the county seat of Shangxian County, not to mention that the overseer army went to Dengzhou. The reason why this is so is because there is a soldier and horse on the way east looking at him!

Although Kong Youde was born as a miner, he also fought a lot of battles with the Jin army under Mao Wenlong, so he naturally has the ability, otherwise, it would be impossible to get Sun Yuanhua's appreciation, and he could get the support of his subordinates to rebel when he was in Wuqiao.

After going east, in order to prevent the imperial court from sending troops and horses to follow behind and cut off his retreat, Kong Youde deliberately left 5,000 soldiers and horses in Shahe, thirty miles southeast of Shang County, where he must pass in the east, and was led by his subordinate brave general Chen Shi.

In order to let Chen Shi rest his mind and break for him, Kong Youde even assigned 300 of the only 800 Jing Rui Liao soldiers among the generals to Chen Shi, and also left four medium guns and 100 eagle guns (big pole guns) for him.

Since the uprising, the rebels have been invincible, the officers and soldiers have fled, and the Beijing camp is even more vulnerable. The rebels have long been ignoring any officers and soldiers, and now they have Jing Rui Liao soldiers, powerful firearms, Chen sometimes patted his chest and assured Kong Youde - but if he is there, he will not let the marshal have any worries!

Kong Youde trusted this fierce general who had followed him for many years, and he was relieved to boldly continue to return east.

Chen sometimes did not live up to his high expectations, led his troops to be stationed in Shaxian, and from time to time sent troops to shock the officers and troops in Hebei, but as a result, not a single group of officers and troops dared to move to Shaxian.

After Gao Qiqian hurried all the way to Shang County, if he wanted to continue eastward, he would have to solve Chen Shi in Shaxian County first, otherwise, he could only go around a few hundred miles and transfer to Denglai from Shandong, so that he was afraid that the daylilies would be cold.

However, these Beijing camps in Shang County couldn't do anything at all, they were all defeated generals of the rebels, and it was unthinkable to expect them to open up the Shahe.

I don't know what the saint thinks, he obviously asked the holy general Jinzhou Army to be directly transferred to his command, but the saint issued a holy decree to assign the Jinzhou army to Zhu Dadian, which was commanded by Shandong. knocked his wishful thinking to a pulp, resulting in a dilemma in this Shang County.

Now it depends on whether Shi Dayong is interested or not, and whether he is willing to give his cavalry to himself, if there are these Jing Rui Liao cavalry, it will not be difficult to deal with the rebels in Shahe, Gao Qiqian thought so. He had heard of the cavalry of the Jinzhou Army for a long time, and when he was in Beijing, he heard that Shi Dayong named his cavalry Wolf Cavalry, which was built in imitation of the Jin Guotie Futu in those years, and the battle was very powerful. The first battle of Xiaolinghe almost turned the tide of the war, capturing the slave chief Hongtai alive, and the tens of thousands of Jiannu troops were helpless, if there was such a strong army in hand, what was the only Confucian rebel army!

When Bai Shangyi brings the soldiers, our family will immediately send troops to Shahe, and we must not ask Zhu Dadian to rob this credit. If this wolf ride is really useful, after returning to Beijing, he will play the son of heaven and rebuild the Yongwei camp according to this Jinzhou wolf ride. After it is built, our family can wave the Central Plains and drive those thieves out of the Yellow River to feed the fish!

Thinking of being able to exterminate the thieves for the Son of Heaven in one fell swoop, Gao Qiqian's face was a little inexplicably flushed. He seems to have seen the grand scene of the Son of Heaven personally greeting him at the noon gate when he returned to Beijing victoriously

In a trance, there was the sound of eager footsteps in my ears, and then I heard someone shouting at the throat of my father-in-law, father-in-law, the big thing is not good, the big thing is not good!

The voice was extremely sharp, and it could be heard clearly in the entire Shangxian Yamen, and it was also extremely ear-piercing.

Gao Qiqian was startled, thinking that the rebels from Shahe had come to attack Shang County, so he jumped up in fright, and was about to touch his battle robe and sword, and opened his mouth to ask the guards to prepare their horses immediately, and fled if the situation was not good.

But before he could speak, someone outside pushed the door and rushed in, and as soon as he came in, he knelt on the ground, crawling forward and wailing, my father-in-law must be the master of the slave! The minions are bitter

When he looked at it, who was kneeling in front of him, who was Bai Shangyi? Look at the gang of people behind him, who are the minions who didn't follow him to Cangzhou!

What a howl! Is the sky falling?

Gao Qi was so angry that he had nowhere to go, and when he raised his foot, he kicked Bai Shangyi aside, and scolded angrily: What a fuss, what kind of system!

Bai Shangyi grunted and turned around, this time he didn't cry, but twitched his nose, and shouted aggrievedly: Father-in-law, the day didn't fall, but it wasn't much worse, the Liao army rebelled!

What the? The Liao army rebelled!

Gao Qiqian was taken aback, grabbed Bai Shangyi's collar in front of his neck, and shouted: What's wrong, say it quickly!

The slave was ordered by his father-in-law to transfer cavalry to his Liao army, but his Liao army refused to obey the order, but beat the minions without asking! The general Shi Dayong even blatantly said that he would rather die than do anything, and Bai Shangyi did not dare to say it intermittently.

Gao Qiqian was furious when he saw this: What's the matter? Say it!

Yes, yes, that Shi Dayong said that he would rather die than be a thief! After speaking, Bai Shangyi quickly lowered his head.

Gao Qi was stunned there, his white face was blue and red, and his eyes were extremely cold.

After a while, he slapped his palm on the table in anger and scolded sharply: A general dares not to take our family in his eyes! If our family hadn't slaughtered him with their own hands, our family would have lived in vain for so many years!

Bai Shangyi and the eunuchs saw that Gonggong Gao was really furious, they were afraid and happy, but they kept kowtowing there one by one, shouting in their mouths: Gonggong is angry, Gonggong is angry

Gao Qiqian was furious, and glared at Bai Shangyi: You immediately go back to Beijing to find Wang Gonggong, and ask Wang Gonggong to try to maneuver for our family, just say that this Jinzhou army will be domineering and refuse to listen to the tune, and ask the Holy Lord to send another Liao army to help in the war.

Hearing this, Bai Shangyi did not respond immediately, but raised his head and asked carefully: Father-in-law, the Liao army fought the battle of Daling River, which is basically over, except for the Jinzhou generals, who else in the Liao army can fight?

Gao Qiqian snorted slightly: Zu Dashou surrendered to the east, but his ancestral family did not all surrender with him, but our family has heard that in addition to Zu Dashou and his brothers, there is also an ancestor and two madmen who are quite capable of fighting, and there is also a domestic servant named Zu Kuan, who is also very capable of fighting.

Now these two people are panicking in Ningyuan because of their ancestral longevity, lest the imperial court will be angry with them, so if our family pulls them at this time, the two of them will definitely be grateful to our family and willingly obey our family's orders. With the help of his ancestral family, our family is also not afraid of his rebels!

Since the ancestral family can use it, why didn't my father-in-law directly transfer them before?

Previously, because of the ancestor's birthday, the emperor was annoyed, and our family didn't want to pull his ancestral family along, thinking that this Jinzhou army is also very capable of fighting, and it just happened to enter the customs, so there is no need to bother to transfer it again, just bring it directly. How do you know that this Shi Dayong doesn't take our family in his eyes and refuses to obey our family's orders, so our family naturally can't hang himself on a tree. Hmph, we want to see where he has the courage to go against our family with a little general!

Bai Shangyi hurriedly patted his ass and said: The father-in-law is high-minded, and the slave admires! However, there is a way for the slave, and when he can call the public government, he can see Shi Dayong's retribution.

Gao Qiqian glanced at him and asked, "What's the method?"

Bai Shangyi gritted his teeth and said hatefully: How to kill people with a knife!

Gao Qiqian was stunned for a moment, and blurted out: To explain it bluntly, how to kill people with a knife?

Bai Shangyi smiled: When the slave came, I heard that Zhu Dadian, the governor of Shandong, sent someone to transfer his Jinzhou army to Dengzhou to relieve the siege, and his Jinzhou army was going to Dengzhou, and it must pass through Shahe, father-in-law, don't forget, there are thousands of rebels in Shahe. If his Jinzhou army arrives, his father-in-law can order his Jinzhou army to attack Shahe as a superintendent! If the Jinzhou army really goes to fight, with his hundreds of people, I am afraid that it will be meat buns and dogs. If he refuses to go, his father-in-law will kill his generals with a military order, and then take his subordinates, so that no one can say anything!
