Liu Hui put forward a clear plan of action for the development and growth of the rebel army.

"I only live in Bazhou, and there is no natural danger to rely on. If the imperial court sends troops to attack and cannot hold on, it is better to go east to Shandong. Shandong has mountains as a natural barrier, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and has always been a rich grain production land, enough for our army to support for a period of time. ”

Liu Hui's eloquent talk made Liu Liu, Liu Qi, and Yang Hu and others light up.

Although they now number more than 1,000, they are not much different from bandits, their strength is too weak, and the food supply has repeatedly become a problem, and they urgently need a feasible and effective development path.

"If we can achieve a step-by-step victory and play the title of 'building the country and supporting the virtuous', more and more people will be willing to defect."

Liu Hui's addition gave the rebel army a boost. Since March, the rebel army has conquered more than 20 prefectures and counties, including Rizhao, Qufu and Tai'an, in Hebei Province, Raoyang, Nangong and other prefectures and counties. The Ming army broke and fled all the way. The vast number of poor peasants were happy to supply the rebels with food, grass, and canes. The rebels killed landlords and bureaucrats, burned officials, looted arsenals, and released prisoners.

The Confucian Mansion in Qufu was looted and burned again. Yan Shenggong Kong Wenshao ran away overnight, but was blocked halfway: "Kong Wenshao, someone wants me to keep your dog life for questioning!" ”

Kong Wenshao panicked, his body trembled, and his body seemed like sifting chaff: "Hero...... Heroes spare their lives......"

"Why did your wife, Lee, die?"

Kong Wenshao was stunned: "She, she, her...... Miscarriage, excessive bleeding, died...... The doctors have come to diagnose and treat the ......"

Kong Wenshao defended incoherently: "She didn't listen to people's persuasion, she had to return to Beijing with illness, and she was physically exhausted as soon as she arrived in the capital...... The news of her death was passed down to me by the Li family, how do I know why she died so early? ”

The person who came didn't say anything more, but raised the knife in his hand and broke Kong Wenshao's life.

The words have been brought, and Liu Hui naturally does not want to kill Kong Wenshao and dirty his hands.

On the contrary, Kong Wenshao has no hatred with him, and he still wants to keep him to respond to Li Dongyang.

A few years have passed, and he doesn't believe that there is no shadow of Li Dongyang behind the arson case back then. The revenge of killing his father and uncle is not shared.

……

Emperor Zhengde walked towards the Empress Xia's bedroom with a sinking face.

He was in a terrible mood.

The woman who had a night with him not only married herself to an officer with mud legs, but also took her husband who resigned to happily farm, mine, and build roads in the anti-thief's hometown, with the posture of turning Bazhou into a rebel base!

I sent someone to take her away, but she refused!

She doesn't take herself seriously at all!

What is she in her eyes?

An object to throw away when you run out?

You are so cold-hearted and cold-hearted, I don't have to worry about it anymore.

The queen was originally a stunning beauty, but she was neglected by me for many days, and she cried and cried every day, so I started with her and indulged in flowers!

Empress Xia and Emperor Zhengde are of the same age, and now they are both nearly twenty years old, and they are beautiful and beautiful.

It was rare that she did not continue to wash her face with tears today, but welcomed Emperor Zhengde in with a smile.

The depression in Emperor Zhengde's heart dissipated a lot.

He is the Son of Heaven, a beauty under the sky, as long as he thinks, he doesn't want as much as he wants. If he didn't enjoy it, wouldn't he live up to the dirty water that the outside world poured on him.

He sat down and was thinking about whether to pull the queen to do things directly, but he saw the palace daughter coming up with tea.

His face sank again.

Seeing this, the queen forced a smile and said: "Your Majesty, this is the newly elected palace daughter, and the concubines are quite easy to use, what do you think, Your Majesty?" ”

Emperor Zhengde completely lost the mind to deal with the queen.

This palace daughter looks seven or eight points similar to Liu Xuejiang.

He sneered: "Queen, you are very good at figuring out my thoughts. ”

The queen's pupils shrank in fright, and she explained, "This is ...... The meaning of the old woman ......"

Emperor Zhengde got up and walked out, leaving behind a cold sentence: "The queen is really good-hearted." ”

Walking out of the queen's bedchamber, he quickly calmed down.

Yes, now in March, cats and dogs are in heat, not to mention that he is a young and good young man.

But there are traps in this harem.

The palace maid who resembles Liu Xuejiang, if she is lucky, she will inevitably become a prince.

There is no need for him, an adult, rebellious young emperor, to exist.

Emperor Zhengde looked at the sky with a grim face and inhaled deeply.

From beginning to end, the only one who gave birth to a prince but never used it to seek a reputation and status was the former first assistant Liu Jian's family.

And although Liu Xuejiang gave birth to her own son, she couldn't wait to break off the relationship with herself.

At this moment, he finally understood their hard work.

The cause of the rebels, however, was in full swing.

The rebel army was divided into two routes, the eastern route was led by Liu Liu, Liu Qi, and Qi Yanming, and was active in Shandong; The western route is led by Yang Hu and others, and is active in the Henan region. In May, the East Road Rebel Army entered Henan from Shandong, entered Huguang and turned to Jiangxi, and then waved its army northward to Bazhou. The west road Yang Hu from the south to the north, in June into Shanxi, and then east into Hebei, until Wen'an, in August, the two armies will attack Bazhou, threatening the Beijing division.

Emperor Zhengde finally ordered the removal of Ma Zhongxi, and reassigned the right attendant of the military department, Lu Wan, to supervise military affairs, and led the border soldiers and the Jingying officers to block the rebels. After that, Liu Liu's army broke through the encirclement and entered Le'an (now Guangrao, Shandong) in the east, while Yang Hu's troops moved to the Dongchang area of Shandong and divided their troops to contain the enemy.

Ma Zhongxi accepted the secret decree of Emperor Zhengde, and has always focused on recruiting to pacify Shun to avoid causing large-scale battles, and has repeatedly surrendered and plundered Liu Xuejiang, all of which have failed.

In August, Lu Wan and the right capital of the imperial history, the Beijing camp, Xuanfu, and Yansui army to discuss it. Xing and Zhuozhou, suddenly rumored that the righteous army was approaching the Beijing Division, and ordered the army to enter the guard. Until the deputy commander-in-chief Xu Tai and the guerrilla Xu Yong defeated Yang Hu equal to Bazhou, the righteous army went south, and the Beijing division began to lift the strictness.

In September, two rebel armies successively besieged Cangzhou, Hebei Province, to intercept the Ming Dynasty's Cao Yun.

In October, Yang Hu's army passed through Tianjin, Jingzhou, Zaoqiang and other places, entered the Daimyo's Mansion), east to Shandong, conquered the city, and Liu Liu's army relied on each other, shocked Shandong, and then transferred to Anhui, but Yang Hu crossed the river in Yimen, Bozhou, Anhui Province, was attacked and sacrificed by the Ming army, and the department was led by Liu Hui and Zhao Sui, transferred to Henan, and continued to fight.

Liu Liubu went south to Shandong, Liankeyang Valley, Shouzhang, Yishui, Qufu and other ten counties, attacked Qingzhou, Yanzhou, Yizhou and other Ming fiefdoms, and then turned to attack Jining, burning 1,200 Ming Cao grain ships. It marched north from Jining and fought in the vast area from Bazhou in the north to Tangyin in Henan in the south.

In the first month of the seventh year of Zhengde, the rebel army once again penetrated into the Bazhou area near Beijing.

At this time, Liu Hui and Zhao Sui fought in Anhui, Henan and other places. They elected Liu Hui as the generalissimo of the Fengtian Expedition and Zhao Sui as the deputy marshal, set up the Fifth Army, listed 28 battalions, appointed governors, commanders and other officials, had 130,000 foot cavalry, and waved the banners of "smashing the land of Youyan" and "reopening the chaotic sky", and also affirmed military discipline and did not kill civilians in vain.
