    Time No. 2, November 1631, the fourth year of Chongzhen.  A new crisis appeared in the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty. The Wuqiao mutiny forced the Liaodong Army under Governor Denglai to rebel. Then Kong Youde rebelled and Dengzhou City fell. After a series of dazzling incidents, the capital was close at hand.  A large number of rebels appeared on the important ground!  The situation is extremely critical!

    This rebellion was certainly not as large and powerful as the Donglu, but the threat to the Ming Dynasty was far greater than that of the barbarians outside the pass.  The first is that the place where they rebelled was in the hinterland, and the hinterland was empty, so it was difficult to mobilize troops to resist in a hurry; the second was that the rebels were rebelling, and they were different from ordinary peasant armies. Of course, their combat power was not a little bit stronger, and it was against the Ming Dynasty.  The blow to the authority of the central government was also particularly severe.

    When the news spread, peasant rebels in various places were greatly encouraged and raised troops to respond. The situation in the northwest became increasingly chaotic and difficult to stabilize. Only at this time did the Ming Dynasty, a country riddled with holes, appear to be in turmoil and began to truly show its true colors.  A bit of a chaotic time.

    The key is that with the strength of the rebels, if they continue to grow and develop, they may leave Tongzhou westward at any time, cut off water transportation, and completely cut off the most important channel that supplies blood to the center of the Ming Dynasty.  By that time, without money and food, Emperor Zhu of the Ming Dynasty might really have no choice but to die!

    The central government of the Ming Dynasty had to take urgent action to plan a solution to the situation.

    ¡­¡­

    The center of the Ming Dynasty and the cabinet ministers gathered together urgently to discuss countermeasures.  Chongzhen sat high on the throne, closing his eyes and saying nothing, while the ministers in the audience sat upright and remained silent.

    Zhou Yanru, the chief assistant, stepped forward and said,

    "Your Majesty! The rebels in Shandong were in rebellion and Dengzhou fell. Only Zhang Keda, the commander-in-chief of the Denglai governor, escaped in panic. In one month, the rebels invaded Denglai and threatened the water transportation. The situation is extremely critical! Return!  Please make the decision, Your Majesty!"

    "Hmph! What's there to decide? After such a big thing, why not quickly wipe out the rebels? The land of Shandong is very important. This is not the Donglu of the day. This will definitely happen in the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty.  Making an earth-shattering commotion is naturally the first priority! Let¡¯s put aside all other things for the time being!¡±

    "Put it down?" Zhou Yanru was stunned for a moment, then asked again:

    "Could it be that the emperor means to ignore the affairs in the south for the time being?"

    "Nonsense! Do I still need to say this? Although the south is important, it has not caused a catastrophe after all. Zheng Zhilong is a pirate, although he is a bit greedy, but he has not directly threatened to rebel. The current situation, then  We can no longer take care of the border. Let Yu Dake, the governor of Shandong, stop going south and instead go north from the Huaihe River to Dengzhou; also, the troops from Shandong, Baoding, Tianjin and other places rushing to aid Liaodong should withdraw all they can!  After Tongzhou was reorganized, Liu Yulie, the right minister of the Ministry of War, was appointed as the governor and besieged Dengzhou!"

    "No, you must not, Your Majesty!" Liang Tingdong, Minister of War, came out and knelt on the ground, "Although the situation in Shandong is critical, the war in Liaodong is imminent and has to be launched. Cutting off support at this time will make the situation collapse, Your Majesty!"

    "Yes! Your Majesty!" Min Hongxue, a student at Wuying Palace, also came out to kneel with Liang Tingdong. "Although the things in the south are not very powerful, if it goes on for a long time and allows the pirates to control the situation in Jiangnan, that will be truly remarkable.  , they have ships and cannons, and now that they have control of money and food, they may destroy the overall situation of Jiangnan! The situation in the south is really the most serious concern of the imperial court!"

    "Okay, okay! I know, I know everything! But is there anything you can do? If we don't mobilize troops from all over the country, the situation in Shandong will be corrupted, and we won't be able to pass the current hurdle, let alone others! The battle situation in Liaodong will probably be a long time ago.  It just collapsed! One of the generals was trapped in the Daling River and couldn't get out. The so-called brave Guan Ning cavalry didn't even dare to go out to fight in the field. What are they doing for food? Do you want me to surrender all the soldiers in the country?  Go into this dark cave?

    Liao¡¯s rates Liao¡¯s rates!  Because the Ming Dynasty in Liaodong has lost the support of the people of the world!  Liaodong is not the only place in the world, cough!  Cough cough cough!  If that doesn't work, let them retreat to Shanhaiguan!

    There is also Jiangnan, a group of powerful princes who have enjoyed the glory and wealth of their country for hundreds of years cannot control the situation, and they want me to send troops to help, don't be embarrassed!  Tell them that no matter what happens, even if they lose everything, they must be controlled by me, otherwise they will wait for their families to be ruined!  Ahem!  Ahem!  "

    Chongzhen covered his mouth and nose, and took a few deep breaths to stop the swelling and pain in his throat. The anger in his heart suddenly burst out, "Incompetent, it's all incompetent! None of the ministers in the dynasty can bring me any good.  Are you loyal to the news?"

    The cabinet ministers below were sweating profusely and trembling with fear!

    ¡­¡­

    A cabinet meeting deep in the Forbidden City quickly evolved into a military outcry spanning several provinces.During the uprising, tens of thousands of officers and soldiers under General Liu Zeqing, who was originally preparing to station in the Suzhou and Hangzhou areas under Yu Dake, the governor of Shandong, had already reached Jianghuai, but now they had to turn around and head north.

    Near Tongzhou Prefecture, the generals gathered from outside and inside the pass, and the troops from Tianjin, Baoding, and Shandong tribes were all under the command of the newly minted governor Liu Yulie. After a slight reorganization, they were going to attack Dengzhou all the way east.

    At this time, the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were gearing up and preparing to defeat the enemy with one blow.  The generals who were part of the rebel army in Dengzhou City had changed their appearance and appeared on the sea near Dongjiang Town, Liaodong!

    Looking at the vaguely visible Pi Island in the distance, Kong Youde, who was on the big ship riding the wind and waves, his body rising and falling with the surface of the ship, was still echoing in his ears what Li Zhe said to them, the old Dongjiang generals, that day:

    "In our eyes, the combat effectiveness of you rebels is not worth mentioning. The reason why I want to save you is actually because of Donglu!

    The Donglu are the great enemy of our people in the Central Plains. They invaded Liaodong, massacred the people, and even broke into the Central Plains to massacre with arrogance. Although I do not recognize the orthodoxy of the Ming Dynasty, they are all Han people, and I naturally hate the Donglu.  Deep to the bone!  Although your Dongjiang Town is a no-name, treacherous and plundering force, and has done a lot of bad things in the past, you can still defend it with weak troops and Donglu under the command of Mao Shuai in the past. This is really appreciated by me!

    "The reason why I rescued you is to return to Dongjiang to kill the Donglu, and destroy this beast that has always been an enemy of our Han people!"

    I believe you will be interested in this idea, right?  "

    Kong Youde and others never expected that Li Zhe's purpose of rescuing them and accepting them as his subordinates was to go against Donglu, which shocked the generals.  These people have been against Donglu for most of their lives, and the hatred between them is as deep as the sea. If they say they dare not fight Donglu, it is absolutely false.  But, can these current rebels be able to outlast the elite soldiers and generals of Donglu?

    "Don't worry! Since you are now my soldiers, I will never let you die and fight against Donglu. You are definitely no match for Donglu in the field, but if you are equipped with the sophisticated weapons I gave you, then  That's another thing. From now on, you will fight under his command." Li Zhe pointed at Zhang Liao. Zhang Liao's face was still indifferent, with his hands behind his back, standing behind Li Zhe like a sculpture.

    "He is my best general, proficient in firearms warfare. From now on, he will command your group of rebels, and will teach you how to use new weapons and new tactics. To be honest, what you used to do is  This kind of training is really terrible! From now on, you must all treat yourselves as new recruits and learn from scratch.

    And our next goal, haha!  I just want you to say hello to your old friends and go here - Dongjiang!  "Li Zhe's finger pointed on the map to a small black spot on the coast of southern Liaoning - Pi Island!

    ¡­¡­

    "Do you think it can really be done?" Geng Zhongming walked behind Kong Youde and looked at the familiar island that was still clear in everyone's memory!

    Kong Youde nodded, "I'm afraid it can be done. Although we didn't see their army show off with our own eyes that day, Dengzhou City was captured in half a day. Even with our internal support, it was not that easy! It should be noted that most of the troops in the city were  Some of them still resisted, but they all collapsed under their fire!

    In a certain impression, only the beast-like Donglu elite soldiers could achieve such combat power.  You have also seen their weapons, which are much more sophisticated than those made by the foreign instructors invited by Governor Sun. Especially the weapons in the hands of the commando, which are really destructive when used, like thunder and lightning, but they are still easy to use.  So convenient!

    We, under Governor Sun, thought that the weapons we forged were already the most sophisticated in the Ming Dynasty, but we didn¡¯t know that they couldn¡¯t compare with others.  To be honest, I am looking forward to seeing what this army looks like!  "

    "Haha! It seems that Brother Kong is also looking forward to this army in his heart?"

    "Of course, as a soldier, there is no one who doesn't like weapons. Against Donglu, we can't compete with that beast in cavalry and shooting. The only thing that can defeat the opponent is firearms. That day  Didn¡¯t our old slaves die under the cannons of Hongyi? Believe me, brother, if we want to avenge our parents and fellow villagers, muskets and cannons are our only thoughts. That¡¯s why I advised my brothers to accept Mr. Sun¡¯s call that day.  Come to Denglai Camp to learn new firearms!¡±

    "Oh? In that case! In fact, Brother Kong also agrees with defecting to this adult? Is all Brother Kong's pretentiousness in front of that adult that day an act?"

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?The black and swarthy face of Yan De showed a sly smile that Geng Zhongming had never seen before, "Haha! That's of course. With the Dengzhou Incident, we old people from Dongjiang can no longer survive in the Ming Dynasty. There is no such thing in the world anymore."  We have a place to go, but if we don¡¯t go to him, what else can we do? With this man¡¯s big heart, we Dongjiang old people can only survive if we go to him! I, Kong Youde, am not stupid?¡±

    "Haha! That's it! Brother Kong is joking! Of course you are not stupid! How can I say you are stupid? Haha! Hahahaha!" Geng Zhongming looked at Kong Youde and finally revealed his thoughts. The thoughts in his heart after being brothers for more than ten years were actually  In the same way, my heart couldn't help but feel happy and I laughed heartily!

    But Kong Youde¡¯s face stopped smiling and ignored Geng Zhongming¡¯s laughter. He just turned his gaze and looked at the almost invisible small black spot on the sea in the distance.  He murmured:

    "Now, we are finally going home!"

    After hearing Kong Youde's murmurs full of emotions, Geng Zhongming slowly stopped laughing, walked up, and stood side by side on the bow of the boat with Kong Youde, looking at the distant island together, and there seemed to be a trace of light in his eyes.  Moist!

    go home!  go home!  There is the home of Geng Zhongming, Kong Youde and all the Dongjiang brothers!  (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to become a registered member of Piaotian Literature to recommend this work. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
