Lu Ming

Kong Youde's tribe, who were full of resentment towards the Ming Dynasty court and this world, had no way of turning back at this moment: going forward was going to Liaodong to die, and returning was beheaded by the court.

Then Kong Youde's department reversed.

The incident seems to be a murder caused by a chicken, which is a coincidence, but freezing three feet does not happen in a day. If it is not for the chicken today, it will be for a dog tomorrow. It is just a little spark, which can be found everywhere.

So, from the moment Kong Youde set off, he was bound to rebel.

Kong Youde's rebellion lasted for two years.From the end of 1631 to April 1633.

During this period, Kong Youde's Ministry convened a large number of old Dongjiang Town's Ministry, and they responded by occupying many cities in Denglai and other places, captured many court officials under Sun Yuanhua, massacred a large number of Denglai's aborigines, and burned the eastern part of Shandong to a white ground.

The rebellion lasted until April 1633, when Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming were besieged by the imperial army, and finally broke out from Dengzhou.Then, more than 4 desperate rebels and their families, as well as fleets, Hongyi cannons, and craftsmen, all joined the Houjin soldiers led by Jierhalang, Azig, and Du Du at the mouth of the Yalu River.

Afterwards, Kong Youde's men were ordered to shave their hair, and the Denglai Rebellion came to an end.

After the Kong Youde tribe surrendered to Jin, regardless of the rest, it only brought the most advanced artillery application technology to Houjin, which greatly accelerated the demise of the Ming Dynasty: Since then, the Houjin army has the ability to use artillery in field battles.

For most of the traversers present at the meeting today, the upcoming Kong Youde rebellion was indeed a problem that had to be resolved: in two years, there was a great chaos in Shandong, and the social order was greatly disrupted.

Kong Youde's rebellion is absolutely not allowed to happen to the traversing forces who are frantically challenging Daming and demanding "stability over everything else".

So at this moment, the participants all sat up straight, staring at Han Xiaobo who was unwilling to send an army northward, waiting for him to come up with a solution.

Chapter 579 The official residence meeting ([-])

If the army does not mobilize, how will the Kong Youde Rebellion that will occur in the future be resolved?

Faced with this question, Army Commander Han Xiaobo gave a decisive answer: plan ahead, control the development of the situation, and nip the crisis in the bud!

Undoubtedly, Han Xiaobo's answer did not count as a pass, because it was too general to convince the participants.

Then Han Xiaobo can only explain in detail.

"I found that everyone has a misunderstanding: as long as the army is dispatched in everything, the problem can be solved with one force. But the chaos of Kong Youde's rebellion cannot be solved by the army."

"There is a key link here: Kong Youde rebelled, which department is in charge of certification?"

Scanning left and right, and after waiting for a while, Han Xiaobo found that only a few people seemed to understand, so he said with a smile: "Dengzhou is not Yizhou, it's not a place where we can go and make movies whenever we want. That's right, Kong Youde is rebellious, but if you don’t go through the investigation and verification of the imperial court, and then you send troops by order, our side suddenly descends from heaven to Shandong to fight with the 'friendly army', which is also a rebellion, and the nature is even worse!"

After Han Xiaobo said this, more people noticed the operational problems.

Information transmission in the seventeenth century was slow.

For the crossing forces, Kong Youde's rebellion is also difficult to operate: even if the army is dispatched in advance to the north, it will not work if there are too few. Waiting for Kong Youde's soldiers to steal that chicken?

After going through all the incidents, how to explain to the imperial court that they sent a large army to Shandong to ambush Kong Youde's troops without orders?

Just happened to take a walk and meet a rebel?

Does the court believe it?

"At that time, in the eyes of the court, it is none other than your surname Cao who really came to rebel with ulterior motives!"

"So, foresight is not a panacea, at least it needs to be used in the right place to be effective."

After Han Xiaobo concluded, seeing that some people were still not convinced, he could only sigh and continue to deduce: "Even if we now send a telegram to go through the formalities to find an excuse to send the troops to Dengzhou, at least we have to wait until Kong Youde's rebellion. Only under the state city can we make a move?"

"But at that time, what's the point of working hard?"

"Historically, after Kong Youde's rebellion, he defected from North Zhili and returned to the Shandong Peninsula. He first fell into the cities of Linyi, Lingxian, Shanghe, and Qingcheng.

"Following closely behind was the Deputy General of Lvshun of Dongjiang Town, Chen Youyou, and the Deputy General of Guangludao, Mao Chenglu (Mao Wenlong's son), who had good relations with Kong Youde. They responded immediately after hearing the news, and once separated half of Dongjiang Town. echo."

Han Xiaobo looked helpless: "Our highest interest in the north is the orderly flow of social stability and population. All our actions must be centered on this goal."

"That is to say, the moment Kong Youde raised the flag of rebellion, our dispatch of troops lost its meaning. Because the place is bound to be corrupted, the social order is broken, and bad influence has been spread. And these are not an army can be prevented."

Hearing what Han Xiaobo said, Mu Longcheng immediately added: "At that time, Kong Youde had changed from 800 cavalry to tens of thousands of miscellaneous troops. Our troops would at most defeat the opponent, and the consequences would be even worse, because Shandong will It was completely messed up by the rout."

In the end, Mu Longcheng asked rhetorically, "Can't disarm and take down Kong Youde's troops as soon as the army lands, the reason is that this guy is about to rebel because of a chicken?"

After a simple deduction by the two of Han and Mu, everyone here finally realized that the so-called sending troops to the north to solve the problems of Kong Youde's department: it was thankless, and many of the links could not be explained to the court.

And at this time, Xia Xianze, the CEO of Time Travel Company, who lives alone in a high position and manages a lot of things, has made it clear to save time, probably.

He first pushed away a stack of materials about the Dengzhou Rebellion in front of him, and after pondering for a while, he said: "I don't agree with sending troops either. Apart from secondary factors such as excuses and finances, have you ever thought that this will give the court Pull us outside the customs as cannon fodder?"

"That's right, that's the problem!" Han Xiaobo patted his thigh, and the man with thick eyebrows and big eyes actually patted his horse very smoothly: "Why don't you say that Mr. Xia will see you soon! Didn't you say that before?" , we have to wait and see from the other side! At this juncture, what our General Cao should do is find an excuse to play and disappear, instead of sending troops to the north to beat himself in the face!"

……

Now that Master Zhongtang has set the tone, the participants will no longer boycott the sending of troops to the north.Besides, Han Xiaobo's opinion is correct after all, and everyone has now seen the unreliability of sending troops.

However, the problem remains unresolved: What happened to the Kong Youde Rebellion?

The next moment, Han Xiaobo opened the folder in front of him and took out a few pieces of office paper: "This is my recent communication message with Yao Jianshe of Tianjin Station and Xue Haiyuan of Beijing Station."

"In fact, as early as half a year ago, the General Staff had a close exchange of information and deduction of the situation with the northern trio on the matter of Dengzhou. Therefore, there is a specialization in the art industry, and everything I said today is relevant. It's justified."

After glancing at someone, Han Xiaobo handed Xia Xianze a copy of the document, and threw the rest on the long table: "The northern trio, especially Yao Jianshe, who is in charge of the Tianjin station in the Dengzhou area, have agreed to There is a special plan for Dengzhou, and it has entered the preparatory stage."

"The name of this plan is called 'cooked rice'".

As soon as Han Xiaobo finished speaking, someone immediately smiled: "What's your plan, why did you come up with such a weird name?"

"Everything has two sides." Han Xiaobo did not answer directly, and seemed to analyze the situation again: "The remnants of Dongjiang Town, represented by Kong Youde, are not only the victims of the turmoil of the court, it is regrettable; they are also out-and-out Feudal warlords, backward armed representatives."

"And our goal is not only to ensure a stable and peaceful situation in Shandong, but also to devour and digest the group of Dongjiang warlords...to cast a mouse-snapping weapon, isn't this raw rice or what?"

Xia Xianze did not touch the document.

As the head of the government, he had already heard the military's special report on the Dalinghe Battle and even Dengzhou, so he knew very well what was written in that document.

Seeing that Han Xiaobo was in a hurry, he didn't express his opinion lightly, but asked slowly: "How far has your plan progressed?"

"Since it hasn't been approved yet, we can only make preparations in advance for the capital. If everything goes well, our ally will know that Mr. Cao is not willing to take the army with him this time. Wade in muddy waters outside the pass."

"About Kong Youde." Han Xiaobo's eyes flickered at this moment, and finally said the core of the plan: "According to our plan, in this plane, he will not receive the order to rescue Zu Dashou in Liaodong. Once he received an order from the Ministry of War, he would be asked to prepare his troops so that he could join the 'reinforcement' from the sea, land from Liaodong, attack Jiannu's flanks, encircle Wei and rescue Zhao."

"In this way, it's a drudgery." Han Xiaobo leaned on the back of the chair and said with a smile, "This is the usage of foresight. Are you still a time traveler who knows everything and knows how to be tough?"

Seeing Han Xiaobo's complacent ridicule, someone immediately asked: "You are nothing more than shifting the pressure from the military to the political, and it works? Besides, didn't you say you won't send troops? What about the reinforcements at sea?" one thing?"

At this time, Han Xiaobo ignored people who had nothing to do with him.He stared at Xia Xianze closely, and said solemnly: "Our lord ally has won all the way, so he should do something now, right? Ordering the Dengzhou army to take our boat by sea, isn't that a high request?"

Speaking of this step, Xia Xianze actually agreed with the plan, so he finally asked, "What do you mean by sea reinforcements?"

"That's the Merchant Marine Fleet. According to Tianjin Station's plan, it will be filled with food and ready-made clothes, and it will be used to recruit those beggars in Dongjiang Town."

Han Xiaobo finally summed it up clearly: "This matter, in fact, the army is just pretending to shout a few words, and the real operation is the northern trio. The military sets up the stage, and the political and economic plays."

Hearing this, Xia Xianze finally nodded in agreement with the "cooked rice" plan: "Take your time, sandwiched raw rice, I think it's just a waste of time, don't worry."

With Xia Xianze's final decision, so far, a series of follow-up situations related to the future war in the north of the Ming Dynasty, on the side of the crossing forces, a proper strategic response plan has been made.

……

And on the second day after the meeting, Cao Chuan, the pillar of the south sky, the pillar of the imperial court, and the loyal uncle Cao Chuan, officially announced an important news: In view of the fact that the Haidong Samoyed Kingdom recently blocked the trade route and robbed Cao's fleet, his old man He had to urgently lead a large army to fight against the disobedient ministers.

Less than 10 days later, under the attention of all the people, General Cao assembled an army at Baietan outside Guangzhou City, and swore wine with Governor Xiong.After that, the Samoyed Crusade Fleet, consisting of two giant ships and dozens of large ships, sailed out of Hong Kong and headed straight for Nanyang, where they disappeared.

At the same time, in the far north, Zu Dashou, the vanguard general of the Guanning Army, was looking at the north with a serious face on the ruined site of the Daling River Fort in the north of Jinzhou.And under his feet, there are a large number of auxiliary soldiers and civilians who are desperately building the fort wall.

At the same time, at the more distant west gate of Liaoyang City, Hou Jin Da Khan Huang Taiji and a group of Mongolian Taijis in leather robes were taking turns holding the waist-hugging ceremony that Manchus used when meeting distinguished guests.And behind the honored guest, is the Mongolian army rolling in.

At the same time, in a military camp in Hebei, a young man in a fat red coat opened the curtain and entered the room, holding a telegram in his hand: "My lord, there is a telegram."

"Submit it quickly!" The middle-aged man who was sitting at the top and eating immediately put down his chopsticks and took the telegram.

Chapter 580 Spring Thunder Camp ([-])

After receiving the telegram from the personal guard, Li Jichun looked down.

Before that, the aboriginal Li Jichun once thought that the telegram was a hoax.However, to this day, many years have passed since last year when the Jin entered the bandits, and Li Jichun, a middle-aged crisis man in the Ming Dynasty, is now inseparable from this seventeenth-century information killer.

People of later generations probably think that it is only natural to wake up early and turn on their mobile phones to see what jokes Trump made yesterday.But in the Middle Ages, there was only one word to describe this technique: the art of gods and ghosts.

Don't think that the ancients didn't know the importance of information.

"A scholar can know the affairs of the world without going out."Since this sentence can be handed down, it proves that even if it is a fake and inferior version of information transmission, it is a unique technology that only cultural people are qualified to fantasize about.

Therefore, Comrade Li Jichun, a general in Yongping, has been really happy with the telegraph, a real high-level information technology.

"Sitting alone in the tent of the Chinese army, news comes from all directions."

The capital, outside the customs, south of the Yangtze River, Fujian and Guangdong... Whether it is the imperial court hundreds of miles away or the Guangzhou New District thousands of miles away, he can always get the news that he has the right to know at his level as soon as possible.

The most important thing is that Li Jichun knows that even the emperor is not as good as himself.There is a lot of news that is top-secret, that is to say, the emperor and important ministers might not know about a certain telegram Mr. Li saw today until half a month later.

This kind of extremely unequal information advantage often makes Li Shenjiang feel like drinking sweet wine, and then he is full of pride, quite a luxurious feeling of "everything is at your fingertips, and the world is at your fingertips".

But today, when he read the telegram in his hand, he didn't show a happy look at all. On the contrary, the general's face was covered with thick clouds at the moment.After a long while, he sighed and murmured: "The rain is coming!"

……

After the matter of King Qin came to an end, the imperial court began to reward meritorious service according to the procedure.Of course, if there is a reward, there will be a settlement after autumn.

Regarding the surrender of the enemy in Yongping City, the court was naturally not polite.Except for Li Jichun, a brave general who "severed in the battle" and was able to restore the redemption officer to his post, the rest of Yongping's officials, big and small, were still hacked to death by Chongzhen himself as usual, as in history.

Chongzhen in this plane, because he got a lot of real Tartar heads, has more confidence than in history, and he is even more merciless in killing the soft-bone thief in his mind.

After that, Li Jichun rebuilt his troops.

Unlike civil servants who needed to move around, most of the military officials in feudal society were locals.For example, Li Jichun was born in Qian'anwei, not far from Yongping.

It is worth mentioning that there are quite a few local aborigines who came to join the army enthusiastically for Mr. Li’s recruitment this time—multiple versions of the story of General Zhan Shuotuo have been spread all over the local area. The "benevolence and righteousness" of the aborigines are now also counted on the head of General Li Shen.Strictly speaking, Lord Li's prestige in Yongping is +15 higher than before the war.

In the end, Li Jichun named his new army "Chunlei Battalion".

"Spring" is because there is a word "chun" in the name of the general, which is a compound of the practice at that time.

"Chunlei" probably means that Li Shenjiang has a little bit of a thought of saying goodbye to the past, and needs to be alert to himself at all times.

In short, the Yongping garrison in the future will be the Chunlei Battalion.

After the establishment of the Chunlei Camp, it has passed more than a year in peace.Originally, Li Jichun thought that life would go on in such a happy way, but people's wishes were not fulfilled...Two months ago, with Taifu and Minister of the Ministry of War, Sun Chengzong once again inspected outside the customs, and then wrote a letter to Zhu Youjian. The strategic counteroffensive began.

Sun Chengzong, who sits in Shanhaiguan, has frequently dispatched troops and generals to collect logistics supplies. Li Jichun, who sits in Yongping, has seen all his actions. Yongping is located behind Shanhaiguan. Li Jichun, the commander of the local military division, will definitely know about the transfer of horses.

At the same time, military intelligence telegrams from the direction of the capital were also frequently sent to Li Jichun's department in Yongping, so the general was clear about the current strategic situation.His personal judgment in private is consistent with the telegram: it won't be long before Ming and Jin will definitely have a big battle outside the pass.

Then time passed by in a hurry, and it was today in late August.

After reading the telegram sent at an unconventional time, the general said in his heart, "Here we are."

Today is August 8th.This telegram from the General Staff stated very clearly: The Zu Dashou Department of the Guanning Army recently began to build a city on the Daling River, and the Houjin Army has assembled in Liaoyang, and will soon go south to Jinzhou.

The last paragraph of the telegram is a military order: Li Jichun is required to do a good job of mobilization and be ready to leave the customs at any time.

"The rain is coming!"

After reading the telegram, General Li Shen knew that the boot had finally been thrown down. This reminded him of the great battle last year, and his dealings with the Tartar generals, Mr. Cao, the emperor, etc. .

Just when Li Jichun recalled the past years and lamented that the world is changing, the guards beside him couldn't help it anymore: "My lord, is this spring thunder camp coming to an end?"

Li Jichun woke up when he heard the words.When he turned his head to look, he was a little surprised to find that the young face of his personal guard was full of excitement.

Li Shen called his new guard Xiaoqi, who was recruited from the Li family in Qianxi.In terms of blood relationship, Xiao Qi, who is eighteen years old, is Li Jichun's distant nephew, so General Su usually treats Xiao Qi very kindly.

"Little Qi'er, go outside the pass to meet the Tartars, that will kill people everywhere and throw their corpses in the wilderness! Are you afraid, kid?"

Hearing his general's question, Xiaoqi replied loudly: "What are you afraid of him? Our Chunlei camp is unparalleled in combat power, and the Tartars are going to die after all! This time, I might even go to the capital to pile up their heads, and ask for a lottery in front of the emperor." !"

"Hahaha! You really want to be beautiful, baby!" Li Shenjiang heard his nephew's energetic answer, and was immediately relieved of many worries.That's right, our Chunlei camp has already been reborn, what are we afraid of the Tartars?

General Li, who was infected by youth, let go of his thoughts at this moment, stood up, took a set of military belts on the table, put on his gun after dressing neatly: "Come out with me!"

"Yes!"

The next moment, Master Li lifted the curtain and walked out of the room.

After going out the door, it is Jianglou.Li Jichun stood against the wind at this moment, and had a panoramic view of the Chunlei Camp.

The new Chunlei Camp was rebuilt on the basis of the previous Yongping Acropolis.In the first battle between Jin and the invaders, the Yongping Guardhouse, which had been in disrepair for a long time, had no resistance at all. The beggars inside fled immediately, and the guardhouse was burned down by the Tartar cavalry.

Afterwards, General Li Jichun of Yongping wanted to rebuild the Chunlei Camp, so he followed the advice of construction experts sent by Tianjin Station and directly requisitioned the abandoned guard.

The main reason for choosing Weisuo City is because it is a small platform.And this small platform is the only commanding height near Yongping City.In addition, this place is only 6 miles away from Yongping City, and it is surrounded by the Yongping River on both sides, so it has a sense of both offensive and defensive, so the site of Chunlei Battalion was finally chosen here.

From the day the location was determined, whether Li Jichun or the nearby Yongping aborigines, they began to deeply feel the power from the distant travel forces.

Under the employment of white silver, yellow wheat grains, and various cloths, a large number of Ming people started crazy infrastructure construction activities.

The previous guard city was completely removed, all the bricks and stones were abandoned, and the foundation was re-excavated.Afterwards, boats from Tianjin, boats along the Luan River system, and horse teams along the official road brought endless green bricks and cement for caulking and plastering walls.
