Chapter 52 Blood Caused by a Chicken

No one expected that the chicken robbed by this soldier would make such a big basket, just because the chicken robbed by the soldier was actually a chicken of Wang Xiangchun's servant of Shandong Wangzu, or other ordinary people, but this servant ran to find his master Wang Xiangchun's son and cried. Wang Xiangchun's son Zi quit and thought that these Qiu Ba dared to provoke his Wang family, so he came to the door.

Kong Youde was also quite tolerant. He ordered to catch the person who caused the accident and sentenced him to a heavy sentence through the arrow camp, but the soldier who was pierced through the arrow camp had a grudge and ran to kill Wang Xiangchun's servant in the evening.

This incident was completely a big deal. Wang Xiangchun's son said nothing and forced Kong Youde to behead several participating officers and soldiers on the spot.

Kong Youde also has difficulties! It's not easy for him to lead these soldiers. These ruffians are not easy to meet. During this period of time, he has had enough of following him on an expedition. This time, a brother was driven through the arrow camp, which has aroused a little anger, but now the son of Wang Xiangchun is still forcing Kong Youde to kill.

Kong Youde did not want to offend Wang Xiangchun. After all, even if he is a general, he is just a Qiu Ba in the eyes of these rich families. The generals have a low status in the Ming Dynasty. These rich families will crook their mouths casually. If they fail to do it, they will make others fall to the ground, and at least they will lose their positions.

However, Kong Youde dared not agree even if he wanted to let him kill his brothers. If these ruffians are provoked, they can do anything. If they force these ruffians, these guys really dare to overturn him as the main general.

So Kong Youde was in a dilemma. On the one hand, his subordinates were full of resentment and anger. On the other hand, Wang Xiangchun's family did not give up and insisted on forcing him to kill his soldiers.

At this time, he met Li Jiucheng and his party who came back from the horse market. This time, Li Jiucheng was entrusted by Sun Yuanhua to bring money to the horse market to buy war horses. However, this guy came down this trip. In addition, he was cheated. He didn't buy a war horse, but the money was spent clean by him.

Li Jiu is also an old general of Dongjiang. Like Kong Youde and others, he is a tough general under Mao Wenlong at the beginning, and he is also a cruel and unruly person. In the old headquarters of the Dongjiang Army, he is quite prestigious.

Li Jiucheng spent all his money, but he didn't buy a war horse. He was worried about losing his hair. He didn't know how to return to Sun Yuanhua when he went back to Dengzhou Prefecture. If he went back empty, he was sure that Sun Yuanhua would condemn him.

On the way back, he met Kong Youde and his party. After hearing the crying of Kong Youde's brothers, Li Jiucheng turned his eyes and came up with a bad idea.

Anyway, he couldn't go back to work, so he simply encouraged Kong Youde's men to do nothing. Instead of rushing to the gate to die, it's better to simply pull them down here.

Daming should be used to the mutiny now. Most of them end up with touching, and most of the participants will end up in the end.

If you do a good job, make a big deal, and then hold the troops to the government and the court. In the end, everyone will be safe, and you may not have to go to the customs and die.

So several of Kong Youde's men put together and forced Kong Youde to take them to launch a mutiny one after another. They simply pulled them down here, killed them back to the side of Dengzhou Prefecture, united with the old Dongjiang Department on the other side of Dengzhou Prefecture, rebelled, and plotted the matter again. The way out.

Even if Kong Youde wants to refuse, his men have been staring at him. As long as he dares not to do it, these people will definitely kill him immediately under the provocation of Li Jiucheng.

Kong Youde had no choice but to agree to his subordinates' request. That night, he led his troops to start a rebellion, broke through several villages in one fell swoop, washed several villages, and robbed a lot of food and goods.

Then this group of rebels turned around and began to rush back to Dengzhou. Along the way, Li Jiucheng was actually controlling the rebels. Kong Youde was not the commander-in-chief. These rebels were burned and looted along the way. For these Shandong people, these rebels hated them to the extreme. They would never be soft and killed them directly. Across the wild, everyone is full of pots and bowls.

They will let go of anyone who meets the Liaodong accent along the way, but they are required to join the group. The Liaodong people of these branches in Shandong have been fed up with the bullying of Shandong people. This time, they were encouraged by these rebels, so they joined the rebels one after another.

This has greatly increased the strength of the rebels in a short period of time, and these old troops of the Dongjiang army are all soldiers fighting with old noses. You should know that these people used to be in Dongjiang Town, but they fought with the soldiers and horses of Jiannu every day. Sometimes they are not frightened by the army of Jiannu. Now in the face of Shandong soldiers, they are even more Don't pay attention to these Shandong soldiers.

Where they passed along the way, Shandong people also resisted, but they were not the opponents of these rebels at all. Under the leadership of Li Jiucheng and Kong Youde, these rebels would lead the army to attack the county and force them to help them in the local area. Unexpectedly, they repeatedly won success and conquer several cities.

But Li Jiucheng and Kong Youde are also very clear that it is useless to occupy these counties. If they want to become bigger, they can only return to Dengzhou Prefecture, take down the Dengzhou Prefecture to encourage many old troops of the Dongjiang Army there to work with them, and take down many salaries and weapons in Dengzhou Prefecture. He fought against the Shandong army and forced the court to finally recruit them.

So they attacked the city all the way, but they did not occupy it for too long. After plundering and receiving supplies, they immediately led the army to leave and continued to rush to Dengzhou Prefecture.

Once they encounter difficult bones, they do not like fighting. They immediately abandon these places and continue to rush to the next target. This way of combat makes the counties along the way unable to fight. In addition, the number of rebels has become much more and more fierce.

The reason why Sun Yuanhua still holds the fantasy and wants to calm down this mutiny through the means of appeasement is not without his idea, because he is the governor of Denglai. Whether it is Kong Youde or Li Jiucheng, they are the old part of Dongjiang that he took in. It can be said that he has a kindness to these people.

What's more, he also saw clearly what Kong Youde and Li Jiucheng had thought. These traitors were actually very clear that the rebellion could not be a big deal. The reason why they still wanted to do so was to force the government court to finally comfort them, forgive the crimes they committed, and expose the matter.

Kong Youde and Li Jiucheng made such a big mess this time. He, the governor of Denglai, must be inseparable. If he can calm down this mutiny as soon as possible, there is still an excuse to shirk, but if he moves strong and suppress it, he can't win. Then the whole situation in Shandong may be completely corrupted.

Once things get to that point, I don't think it's impossible for him to lose his head.

Now his teacher Xu Guangqi is valued by the current emperor in the dynasty and is the teacher of the emperor. If he can calm down this mutiny as soon as possible, then with Xu Guangqi mediate for him in the capital, it is estimated that he will still have a chance to maintain his current position. Even if he loses his official, there is still a chance to recover, at best. A crime of negligence will not make you lose your head.

Therefore, Sun Yuanhua's attitude was ambiguous. He did not force it to unite with the current governor of Shandong to send heavy troops to suppress him, but waved left and right, so that the rebels were getting stronger and stronger.

But it is not a matter to recruit the rebels again. After all, the rebels are rushing towards Dengzhou aggressively. If the rebels continue to the city of Dengzhou, it will be difficult to deal with the matter. Even if you want to touch them, you have to get rid of their arrogance first.

So finally at the end of December, Sun Yuanhua sent Zhangtao to lead an army out of Dengzhou and set up a camp in the west of Dengzhou to intercept Li Jiucheng and Kong Youde's rebels to march into Dengzhou.

In addition, Zhang Ke, the general of Denglai, was sent to lead 3,000 troops to fight, and Zhangtao attacked the rebels of Kong Youde and Li Jiucheng in the west of Dengzhou, intending to defeat them for a while, so that they could retreat in difficulty, and then he stroked them to return them to the accounts.

However, Sun Yuanhua miscalculated this time. He seriously underestimated the combat strength of the rebels led by Li Jiucheng and Kong Youde. In addition, he also miscalculated the team led by Zhang Yu, because Zhang Yu himself used to be the old headquarters of the Dongjiang Army, and happened to be Kong Youde's subordinate general. He asked Zhangtao to lead the old headquarters of the Dongjiang Army to punch Kong Youde. In a super stinky move, Sun Yuanhua overestimated his personal personality charm.

Sun Yuanhua believes that those rebels were forced to launch mutiny. He has been treating these old parts of the Dongjiang Army well. These people should work for him and listen to his orders, but he seriously underestimated the feelings between the old troops of the Dongjiang army and the contradiction between the Liaodong soldiers and Shandong soldiers during this period.

As a result, Zhang Tong led his troops to fight for a short time. Although he remembered Sun Yuanhua's kindness to him and did not defect to the rebels, he did not lead the army to fight with Kong Youde's rebels according to Sun Yuanhua's order. Instead, he was lodged by Kong Youde to lobby. The generals who were brought out of the city directly into the rebel sequence. He also became a rebel. Zhangtao only led more than 100 soldiers and fled back to Dengzhou City.

The rest of Zhang Ke nature was alone. He was defeated by the rebels led by Li Jiucheng and Kong Youde outside Dengzhou Prefecture. He was defeated and returned with a small number of defeated soldiers and retreated to Dengzhou Prefecture.

Dengzhou Prefecture was then surrounded by rebels, and Sun Yuanhua was a little dumbfounded...
