Chongzhen Wiretapping System

Chapter 512 Give Jianlu a Big "Surprise"

It's all during the busy farming season, what kind of trouble is King Gongsun doing, how did he gather all the people together?Moreover, there is a square formation of soldiers and a square formation of serfs. Isn't it the soldiers who monitor the serfs?
Noon will come soon, and all the truth will come to light. At this time, there is no need to keep it secret.

Kong Youde looked at Chen Shao'an, saw him nodding, and said loudly: "Do you know why I, Kong, went to Jianlu at the beginning of the year and wanted you all to come to Liaohe Plain from all over Liaodong?"

"..." Hearing this, almost everyone was dumbfounded. What's going on?
Didn't King Gongshun always call himself "the king", why did he change his name to "Mr. Kong"?Also, the most important thing is that he dared to call Daqing Jianlu, is this crazy?
Even though they thought so, they all understood that they were afraid that something big was about to be announced.Thinking of this, the people of Ming Dynasty all looked at him excitedly, while those soldiers were a little confused.

If the prince leads them to resist the Qing Dynasty, it is possible, but this is in the hinterland of Liaodong, can they escape back?If you can't escape, wouldn't the whole army be wiped out when the Qing cavalry army arrives, and everyone will die together?
Seeing the puzzled expressions of all the people in front of him, Kong Youde benefited a lot, and finally he didn't have to hide it anymore and could make it public.

He clasped his fists together, motioned from the direction of the capital, and then continued to speak loudly: "To make a long story short, someone Kong made atonement for his crimes, and was summoned by the emperor of Ming Dynasty to save you as much as possible, and then the emperor will send someone to meet you Return to the Ming Dynasty! Now..."

Speaking of this, Kong Youde pointed at Chen Shaoan and continued: "Now that the man has come, you can return to Daming immediately, and you don't have to be oppressed by Jianlu anymore, you can go home!"

In fact, most of these Ming people today were plundered from the pass by Jianlu.Originally, the Han people in Liaodong were basically killed by Jianlu, and they couldn't survive so many.

At this time, when they heard that Kong Youde had followed the order of Emperor Daming to rescue them back to Daming, and they were able to go home, all of them immediately showed inconceivable expressions, feeling that the happiness came too suddenly, too unreal, so they didn't believe it !

Seeing that none of them believed it, Chen Shaoan also shouted loudly: "I am Chen Shaoan, a striker general under the governor of Dongjiang Army Baoding. Maybe you don't know me, but the emperor once used Daishan to take my mother out of Jianlu's hands." After the exchange, you should know about this, right? Now, I am following the emperor’s order to take you back to the pass. After a while, Marshal Wu will lead the troops to arrive soon.”

This news, like a boulder thrown into a pond, immediately stirred up waves.Whether it was the common people of Ming Dynasty or the ordinary soldiers, they could no longer keep silent, and immediately exploded.

"What, he is that person? The emperor actually exchanged his mother with Prince Li?"

"It's not just a Prince Li, I heard that there are three thousand Jianlu soldiers who died!"

"So, this is true, can we really go back to the pass?"

"Did you hear that, a general soldier came to meet us, so there must be at least three to four thousand people?"

"..."

All the people began to believe this, so, naturally, they couldn't restrain the excitement and excitement in their hearts, and began to discuss in a low voice.

However, amidst these excited speeches, some people became worried.Looking around, then looking in front, he hesitated for a moment, and finally shouted loudly: "My lord, this is the hinterland of Liaodong. Even if the emperor sends someone to meet him, how can we escape back? Jianlu will definitely not let us go, he will send cavalry The army came to pursue it!"

"That's right, what my brother said is right, it's too far to go back to the customs!" Another person also shouted, and according to what he said, it was the younger brother of the previous person.

When Kong Youde heard it, he couldn't answer, because he thought so before.As a last resort, he turned his head to look at Chen Shaoan. This question can only be answered by him.

After hearing this, Chen Shaoan laughed, and then replied loudly: "Don't worry, the emperor has thought about it a long time ago, and he will definitely save you back. You don't know that the emperor has done his best to save you back safely. It took a lot of work..."

Just as he was saying this, suddenly, he faintly heard rumbling thunder coming from a distance, and immediately afterwards, the earth seemed to shake.

At this time, everyone was distracted and followed the prestige.Because they all know that this is not a real thunderstorm, but a cavalry army is coming.

Sure enough, on their left, in the distance of the plain, a red line was rolling.Just take a closer look.They all recognized that it was a long-lost Ming army soldier.

Suddenly, everyone was silent, and their eyes were a little complicated.

It was because of the inaction and incompetence of the imperial army that their families would be ruined, and they would be plundered to Liaodong by Jian captives.

Just like that, under their silent gaze, the cavalry in the distance was getting closer and closer, and a big "Wu" flag was fluttering in the wind.Under the flagpole, surrounded by personal guards, a Ming general came majestically.

"This is Marshal Wu, the chief soldier of the Beijing camp, who came to take you back at the emperor's will." Chen Shao'an shouted loudly and introduced them.

The people of Daming came to their senses, thinking that they would be able to return to Daming after all, and thinking that the emperor was thinking about them at least, and sent people to pick them up, so that they could escape the suffering in front of them, so they hid the sorrow they had just awakened in their hearts , happy again.

Not long after, Wu Sangui swept over with about 3000 riders.

Kong Youde and Chen Shaoan hurried over to greet each other and introduced each other.

Before Kong Youde could speak, Wu Sangui got off his horse, clasped his fists at Kong Youde and said, "The emperor has told you that you must take all your family out, this place is not far from Tieling, is it enough for me to give you a thousand cavalry? "

When Kong Youde heard this, he was overjoyed immediately, and hurriedly kowtowed to the Holy Grace, saying that enough was enough.

In Tieling City, he has asked the steward to be there to respond internally at any time, and he will lead a thousand cavalry back, whatever is enough!

So, he immediately led the troops to go back to Tieling, but at this moment, he thought of something, stopped his horse again, and asked quickly: "Marshal, how can we bring so many people back to the pass?"

"Hehe, you don't have to worry about this, you will know when you come back from Tieling!" Wu Sangui replied with a smile after hearing this.

Then, he turned his head and looked at the endless grain fields, and sighed again: "It's a pity, let's plant it again after we beat Jianlu away!"

Kong Youde heard the saying that soldiers are expensive and fast, and he didn't delay any longer, so he led the troops back to Tieling, keeping the doubts in his heart.

But Wu Sangui accepted that the ordinary soldiers and civilians here also had a lot of things to do, and immediately got busy.

A few days later, when Kong Youde returned with his family, he was dumbfounded when he saw everything on the Liaohe Plain.

As far as the eye can see, there are all horses, and it can even be said that almost everyone rides one.If he hadn't seen those Ming people wearing the original tattered clothes and still being so skinny, Kong Youde would have even suspected that the Ming cavalry had come in large numbers.

Seeing him like this, Chen Shaoan greeted him with a smile and explained: "Didn't the last battle on the prairie capture a lot of horses? The emperor asked Marshal Wu to bring them. Everyone rides and everyone rides back. As soon as it comes, the speed is much faster, and it should be able to return to the pass safely."

This... This is a great handwriting!Kong Youde was stunned.Tens of thousands of horses, how much wealth is needed, if an accident occurs, it will be a very big loss.However, the emperor still sent them out, just to take these Ming people back!

Thinking of this, he couldn't help feeling very emotional: "The emperor really loves the people like a son!"

In history, there are many people who talk about loving the people like sons, whether they are emperors or officials.However, if you want to really take action like the current emperor, there are really too few.

Hearing his emotion, a nearby Ming citizen led the horse that was allocated to him, and also echoed in a very reverent tone: "That's not right, after I go back, I will set up a longevity tablet for the emperor, and bless the emperor long live , long live, long live!"

Non-vegetation, ruthless Practice makes perfect.Even if the court officers and soldiers were incompetent before, how can the emperor not move them by the things the emperor has done for them now!

For this reason, another Ming citizen said loudly: "My lord, your majesty is still fighting in Haizhou to save us. We asked Marshal Wu to fight Jianlu together, but Marshal Wu refused to agree. My lord, please help me to intercede?"

They didn't get used to it for a while, and they still called Kong Youde "Prince";
Kong Youde didn't understand what was going on, so he turned his head to look at Wu Sangui.

Chen Shaoan on the side took up the topic and said: "The commander-in-chief still has an order. Taking advantage of the emptiness in Liaodong, he wants to give Jianlu a hard time. Therefore, the commander-in-chief can't go back yet, let them go first, but They all want to stay, and they want to fight Jianlu as well!"

After hearing this, Kong Youde thought to himself that these 2 people were all riding horses, which is indeed a remarkable force.At this time, Jianlu's national power is fighting against the emperor in Haizhou. Except for a few cities such as Shengjing and Liaoyang, they should be able to fight a dozen!
Thinking of this, he immediately became excited, looked at Wu Sangui, and when he really wanted to speak, he saw Wu Sangui pointing at the common people with his hand holding a horsewhip: "Look at how thin they are, they can't fight at all. Even if you go back on horseback, you won’t be able to run fast.”

Speaking of this, he paused and then said: "This time, the commander is still here, one is to support the emperor, and the other is to cover them so that they can go back safely. The emperor has a strict order, and he must rescue them. This handsome dare not disobey the order."

"Yes, the commander-in-chief can come and go like the wind. If there are too many of them, it will not be possible to do this, but it will be a burden." Chen Shaoan also explained on the side, "But these people can't help but know how to be kind." Reported that Jianlu must be killed. The commander had no choice but to select more than 500 people who were in good physical condition to stay."

When Kong Youde heard this, his expression immediately became serious. He cupped his fists and said to Wu Sangui: "The last general is familiar with Liao affairs, and is willing to be the commander and pioneer, and beat Jianlu to pain!"

Wu Sangui frowned immediately after hearing this.It would be good if Kong Youde could stay. After all, as he said, he knew the situation in Liaodong best.However, he shook his head and said: "I don't believe it, the emperor told me that you have made a great contribution to accomplish this task, and you can go to the capital to settle down with your family."

Hearing this, Kong Youde was very moved. He did not expect the emperor to be so caring about him, but it was precisely because of this that he strengthened his thoughts, and he said in a firm tone: "The emperor is still in Haizhou. How can the last general go away in a battle? Doesn’t the general want to be led by the last general to really hurt Jianlu, so that Jianlu has to withdraw immediately to relieve the enemy’s situation on the emperor’s side?”

At this time, none of them knew that Emperor Chongzhen had retreated to Yaozhou Station and was surrounded by Jianlu.

Hearing what Kong Youde said was indeed reasonable, and thinking about the safety of the emperor, Wu Sangui no longer persisted, nodded and said: "So, I am sure!"

After hearing this, Kong Youde didn't say anything more, just clasped his fists as a signal, and then went back to his home, and seriously explained to his son Kong Tingxun: "Father has decided to stay. After you return to Daming, you must take good care of your family. Remember, Daming is our real home, don't forget it, don't have resistance, understand?"

To be honest, Kong Youde's family, including his son and daughter, are still in a daze at this time.Hearing what he said, he could only nod subconsciously.

Kong Youde glanced at his wife, but didn't speak any more. He pulled the rein again, turned the horse's head, and went to work again.

Not long after, Kong Youde came out with 500 of his original soldiers, came to Wu Sangui, clasped his fists and said: "Commander, these [-] troops can be led by the last general, without cutting the whip, still dressed as Tatars, and for the great generals." Handsome striker, if you kill Jianlu by surprise, you will get twice the result with half the effort!"

Wu Sangui nodded, yes, this is a good way.

Then, they didn't stay any longer.The harvested grain, the people and the army brought enough to eat on the road, and then there was a lot of grain left, which could only be burned.

The fire was blazing on the pile of grain, and five hundred Ming soldiers led twenty thousand Ming civilians and Kong Youde's family members, detoured to the grassland a little to the north, and returned to the pass according to the original plan.

On Wu Sangui's side, there were more than 3000 cavalry troops from the Beijing camp, and Kong Youde's 500 cavalry army. More than [-] cavalrymen were selected from the common people to form an overwhelming army. Lead the way and go into the hinterland of Liaodong.

Their first battle was going to be a ruthless one, a big "surprise" for Jianlu.
