These years of being the queen mother!

The first half of the fifth year of Taichang has passed in such a "peaceless and waveless" way. Why do we use quotation marks to enclose the word "calm and waveless"? It is because there are no major fluctuations, but small fluctuations pop out from time to time, disturbing people's mood.

It is said that after Kong Youde was besieged in Dengzhou by Zhu Meixiu's wall, Kong Youde's army could not go out, so he began to use the original artillery in Dengzhou City to bombard the officers and troops.

In order to avoid Wuwei's casualties, Zhu Mei had no choice but to continue to adopt the method of see-saw war of attrition to slowly wear down the number of rebels and their fighting spirit.

After one month passed, Li Jiuzheng, who had instigated Kong Youde to defect, was the first to be unable to sit still, and went out of the city to fight to the death with the officers and soldiers, but was shot and killed by Zhu Mei.

After Li Jiuzheng's death, Kong Youde wanted to abandon Dengzhou and enter the sea, trying to escape by sea to Jianzhou, where the Tartars were located.Zhu Mei had expected it a long time ago, so she sent her general Gong Zhengxiang and others to lead the boats back to Haikou, waiting for Kong Youde to come.

It's just that the weather is not good, and when the two sides are confronting each other, a strong wind blows up and capsizes the ship.So Kong Youde narrowly won and captured Gong Zhengxiang.It's just that the ships were all damaged. Even if Kong Youde won, he couldn't go to sea to escape, so he had to return to Dengzhou City and continue to confront the government and army!

As a result, Zhu Mei and Kong Youde were at odds. Governor Sun Yuanhua of Denglai was delusional, thinking that Kong Youde was instigated by others to commit rebellion. He believed that he could appease Kong Youde by himself, so he wrote a Zhezi, it is suggested that Kong Youde should be recruited...

After Sun Yuanhua's book reached the center, it immediately fell into the lake like a small stone, causing ripples. The court civil and military ministers were divided into two groups, one group advocated extermination, and the other group naturally advocated that peace is the most important thing, and re-accommodated Kong Youde to return to the Ming Dynasty. embrace……

Empress Dowager Yi Yang really hated this kind of guy who has no national concept, no etiquette and shame, but seeing that the court was very noisy because of Kong Youde's incident, Empress Dowager Yang did not express her position in a hurry, but spoke calmly. .

"What do you think Shi Qing?"

After all, Shi Shoufu has worked under Empress Dowager Yang for so long, so he is familiar with her temperament.When Shi Shoufu saw that Empress Dowager Yang actually asked him what he thought, he immediately put on a gesture of righteous indignation, and the old fritters replied. "Of course, I will listen to your mother's orders. If your mother wants to fight, she will fight, and if she wants to make peace, she will make peace!"

Empress Dowager Yang glanced at Shi Shoufu indifferently, and was too lazy to scold him and Si Ni's attitude, so she turned her attention to Zhou Yanru, a university scholar who insisted on appeasement, and Zhang Guochen, the chief of the Ministry of War.

"What do Zhou Qing and Zhang Qing think?" Queen Mother Yang said lightly.

"My minister thinks that General Kong was bewitched by others, that's why he did such a rebellious thing." University scholar Zhou Yanru was the first to stand out and clasped his hands and replied: "My minister believes that as long as you send someone who can speak well to Dengzhou, you will show righteousness. , General Kong will definitely admit his mistake and surrender!"

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I'm not willing to go to Dengzhou to persuade General Kong!" As soon as Zhou Yanru finished speaking, before Empress Dowager Yang made a statement, someone jumped out impatiently, expressing their willingness to go to the front of the battle to appease Kong Youde and others.

Empress Dowager Yang saw that it turned out that Zhang Guochen was the same guy as Zhou Yanru, and she couldn't help saying crookedly. "Recruiting bandits and recruiting rebels should also regard peace as the most important thing for Hou Jin, and no more wars. The Ai family wondered, Zhang Qing, how did you manage to be in charge of the Ministry of War? And. The Ai family doesn't understand, is Zhang Qing kindhearted, or is he taking advantage..."

"It must have taken advantage of it." Zhu Cilin, who saw his mother started to tease others again, and deliberately intervened, widened her eyes and said extremely angrily. "This kind of thing that neglects the court and the people for personal gain can't stay in the central court, it should be demoted to nothing."

Empress Dowager Yang smiled, very satisfied. "Since the emperor said so, then take off the black hat from Zhang Guochen's head and demote him as a commoner."

Therefore, Zhang Guochen, who was dumbfounded by this sudden change, was dragged out of the Golden Luan Hall, so Zhou Yanru, who insisted on appeasing Kong Youde, dared not speak again, for fear of burning himself.

It's just that Zhou Yanru thought everything would be fine if he kept his mouth shut, that would be too naive.In the blink of an eye just now, Empress Dowager Yang recalled who Zhou Yanru, who is currently the head of the Ministry of Rites and a scholar of the Wenhua Pavilion, is.

Isn't Nima a hypocrite in history who invited himself to be a teacher, but falsely reported good news to deceive Emperor Chongzhen and the position of grand teacher?Although Empress Dowager Yang valued talents and didn't care much about personal virtues, she still disliked or even hated this kind of hypocrite who had a good reputation in history.

However, in view of the fact that the Ministry of Rites is used for the five ceremonies of Kaoji, Jia, Jun, Bin, and Ji, it is the department that manages school affairs across the country, imperial examinations, and vassals' dealings with foreign countries. It is the most leisurely office among the six ministries. Before making an excuse, he didn't bother to move him, he just scolded him a few words, expressing resolutely that he would not appease Kong Youde.

"Sun Qing's proposal to appease the rebel generals is a good intention, but it can't achieve the deterrent effect. The Ai family doesn't want to set a precedent for Kong Youde, making the soldiers think that betrayal is nothing, as long as they show remorse afterwards, the court can accept it again ...

Aijia didn't want to see more betrayals after Kong Youde's rebellion against the Ming Dynasty, so Aijia told you clearly that this was impossible.Aijia will not agree to appease the traitor!

According to the decree of Ai Jiayi, Zhu Mei was the deputy governor of Denglai, and Xu Congzhi was promoted to be the governor of Shandong. Xu Congzhi was stationed in Laizhou City to prevent Kong Youde's troops from going westward.As for the relatives of Kong Youde, the traitor, they were all sent to prison and executed after autumn! "

Empress Dowager Yang originally wanted to appoint Qi Chengzhi, the commander of the new army, to assist in the pursuit of Kong Youde, but thinking that Qi Chengzhi had secretly led the army to go to sea for training, she did not order Qi Chengzhi as a general, but promoted Zhu Mei to the position of Zhu Mei, and asked him to do his best. Presided over the encirclement and suppression of Kong Youde and others.

As for Sun Yuanhua, who was originally the governor of Denglai, after he was dismissed, Empress Dowager Yang rewarded him with a vacant position as a bachelor as a consolation, and ordered him to do his best to help Mingda defend Liaodong and take care of the maintenance of firearms, don't worry about other things...

Not long after Zhu Mei was promoted to governor of Denglai and Xu Congzhi became governor of Shandong, Kong Youde, who knew he couldn't be trapped in the water city of Dengzhou, used a trick to break out of Dengzhou and flee to Laizhou city...

Because of Huang Taiji's gold and silver support secretly, Kong Youde recruited a large number of local ruffians to join the rebel army, and engulfed the people along the road to besiege Laizhou in a mighty manner.

As expected, Xu Congzhi, the newly appointed governor of Shandong Province, and Zhu Wannian, the prefect of Laizhou, prepared enough food and grass early. With the city of Laizhou fortified and deployed with Francois machine guns, they stalemate with Kong Youde's tribe for half a month.

Kong Youde couldn't attack Laizhou City for a long time, so he was in a hurry, because Zhu Mei had already ordered Deng Ke, Wang Hong and others to lead tens of thousands of Sichuan soldiers from Changyi to rescue them. 40 miles.

Kong Youde was afraid of being flanked by the Laizhou defenders and the reinforcements, so he ordered a violent attack on the city.However, under the pressure of the Franco machine guns on the wall, Kong Youde suffered heavy losses in his series and still failed to storm Laizhou City. Kong Youde had no choice but to order the siege to stop, and led nearly ten thousand rebels to board the ship and flee...

After Kong Youde fled, the officers and soldiers pursued him relentlessly, and it was expected that he would go to Houjin via Changshan and Lushun after his defeat.So Huang Long, the commander-in-chief of the Ming Dynasty who was stationed in Lushun, Changshan, and Ludao, led his troops in full battle, fought fiercely with Kong Youde's troops who had fled, defeated the rebels, and successfully captured Kong Youde's generals Mao Youshun, Mao Chengfu and others...

Lushun, on the shore of the sea, the setting sun is like blood!On the shore of the white sand, the seagulls are singing, and the voice is desolate, so that those who look at the sea can't help but sigh

"That bastard surnamed Kong escaped after all!" Huang Long, the chief soldier, turned around and said to Zhou Wenyu who was chasing the rebels, "Wen Yu, tell me, where will this bastard escape!"

"Now that Goryeo has surrendered to the Tartars and became a vassal, the rebel general Kong Youde will flee to the Yalu River, where will he join the Tartar soldiers!"

"Brother thinks the same way." Huang Long, who was in a better mood, said to Zhou Wenyu with a smile, "Brother has already sent a letter to Mr. Wei, telling him about the possible escape direction of Kong Youde, the rebel general. If you think about it, Mr. Wei will be able to deal with it properly. , will not let the traitor run away any more."

"Brother is right, and younger brother thinks so too." Zhou Wenyu glanced at the blood-stained corpses scattered all over the white sand, unavoidably a little indescribable. "Brother, let's have people restrain the corpses, so as not to let the soldiers of both sides die on the beach."

How to describe the scene after the fierce battle? Perhaps only the dictation of the surviving soldiers after the war can reproduce the hell on earth in front of us, but it is far inferior to the bloody battle that took place on the shore of the sea that I witnessed with my own eyes. With heart-pounding blood, terror and despair...

There are corpses everywhere, and the original white sand has already changed color. From a distance, it looks like a red carpet covered with strange shapes, covering the coast and the earth.This is the case everywhere...

Huang Long and Zhou Wenyu stood on the coastal reef for a while. The soldiers who survived the battle carried the corpses, poured tung oil together and burned them on the spot. Then they left the front without saying a word. On the shore of the sea where the battle took place not long ago.

After a few days, Mingda received a summons from Huanglong.After the secret talks with Sun Chengzong and Xiong Tingbi, it was also expected that Kong Youde would take a boat to the Yalu River to join the Tartar soldiers who were going to meet Houjin!Ming Da wanted to take this opportunity to have a good fight with the Tazi soldiers, so he humbly asked Sun Chengzong and Xiong Tingbi what good strategy they had.
