The Wuqiao Mutiny launched by Kong Youde and others. The tragic Wuqiao Mutiny destroyed Dengzhou Prefecture and Laizhou Prefecture. You should know that this is the place of Tianfu in the Ming Dynasty and a place of taxes. However, after the Qiaowuqiao Mutiny, it turned out to be a white land. Even the people here had to survive through disaster relief. Moreover, the people who died in the war would not be less than 500,000.

Kong Youde and the other three committed such a crime. All the people in the three eastern prefectures hated him to the core and wanted to cut him into pieces. However, the incompetent court had no way to do anything to them. After the court dispatched 100,000 official troops, they still escaped smoothly. This made the people hate him and there was no way.

In fact, this will also have a huge blow to the prestige of the court, which makes many people understand that betraying the court is actually not a big cost, and there is no need to worry about being retaliated.

Many people have this idea, and even the two leading figures of the Liu family army have this idea. But now the Liu family army is crossing the sea and attacking southern Liaoning. After they won the victory, the first thing they thought was to capture Kong Youde and others who launched the Wuqiao mutiny.

So after conquering Gaizhou, the Liu family army successfully gained a foothold in Liao, and Liu Bu also issued a reward order, that is, to capture Kong Youde alive, and Geng Zhongming's reward of ten thousand taels, which is a very high reward. It is very valuable to seize 10,000 taels of silver from them, which is equivalent to the price of more than 200 ordinary Jiannu's heads. Therefore, Burigude was happy to capture Kong Youde, which means the greatest military merit and also a large sum of silver.

For example, the few who launched the Wuqiao mutiny, except Kong Youde, all others died. Li Jiucheng died in Dengzhou, while Shang Kexi died in Gaizhou. Now only Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming are left. To deal with these two, they will definitely be killed without mercy.

The Liu family army captured Kong Youde alive and greatly boosted their morale. Then their goal was to another person, which was Geng Zhongming.

Geng Zhongming was born in the 30th year of Wanli. He was from Gaizhou, Liaodong. His courtesy name was Yuntai. In the early years of Chongzhen, he became a general of Dengzhou.

Geng Zhongming, originally from Shandong, was a miner. He worked as a pirate in Liaodong. Later, he defected to Mao Wenlong. He was the chief of the army, Mao Wenlong, and was a subordinate of the Shandong Sanminister.

Geng Zhongming was highly valued by Mao Wenlong, and was relied on as his confidant and adopted as his grandson. He was named Youjie. He was exhausted and was in charge of the military finance. Geng Zhongming was tall, dark in his face, but his palms were as white as jade. He was not only brave and good at fighting, but also famous for his cunning and wiseness in Mao Wenlong's army. He was not only in charge of wealth. This shows his character.

After Mao Wenlong died in the second year of Chongzhen, Yuan Chonghuan, Geng Zhongming disobeyed Chen Jisheng's jurisdiction and defected to Sun Yuanhua and followed him to Dengzhou, Shandong. Geng Zhongming worked with Kong Youde, and Sun Yuanhua regarded Geng Zhongming as the general of the Central Army.

During the Wuqiao mutiny, Geng Zhongming eventually participated in Kong Youde's rebellion for various reasons. The reason why Dengzhou City fell quickly was all related to Geng Zhongming's visit to recruit Kong Youde in the name of Governor Sun Wenhua. Who knew that he did not recruit him and even dedicated Dengzhou City. This led to the fall of the important town of Dengzhou and Governor Sun Yuanhua was killed. It can be said that he was also a key figure. At this moment, Geng Zhongming saw that the opportunity was not good and did not dare to stay on the battlefield, but took the initiative to put on makeup and slip away.

Geng Zhongming knew that Daming hated them to the core. If he fell into Daming's hands, he would be afraid that he would not even be able to get a whole body. That's why he saw that the game was not good, so he led a few confidants to put on makeup and leave.

Geng Zhongming was very cunning. He knew that if he led the army to escape, he would definitely not be able to escape, but if a private team wanted to escape, he could still escape, so he would dress up as an ordinary soldier and prepare to escape.

He just put on his makeup and fled into the mountains and forests first. He has rich experience in life in the wild and can survive in the wild. As long as he saves his life, he still has a chance to make a comeback. If he can't escape, he will die.

There were many people who were like them to escape. The Ming army only attached great importance to large groups of people. They could only let these escaped small groups of people, because they came to besiege the enemy troops, in fact, there were only more than 7,000 people, a total of three regiments and fourteen battalions, and the other side had more than 30,000 people, and the battlefield was large. It was already amazing that they defeated the other side's 30,000 people with 7,000 people. It was quite difficult to completely control the battlefield.

That's why they have no control over these people who fled into the mountains and forests. They still have to concentrate their men to clear out the Jiannu soldiers on the battlefield.

After capturing Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming fled, the Jiannu soldiers on the battlefield completely collapsed. They surrendered one after another because the Ming army's techniques were extremely ruthless. If they refused to surrender, they would be a round of cannons and directly killed. If they surrendered, they could barely save a dog's life.

One of the two generals who led the army fled and the other was captured alive. Their army completely collapsed. Seeing that the situation was unrestrained, the soldiers surrendered one after another. They were thinking that they were all Han people, would they spare their lives?

The core of Jiannu is only the Aisin Gioro lineage of Nurhaci, Jianzhou. Since their brothers started their army, tribes and people near the Three Guards of Jianzhou have surrendered to them one after another.

The new thing about the Jianzhou Eight Banners system was originally unavailable for each Jurchen tribe. Because the Jurchens were scattered thousands of miles away from the pass, with different customs and different systems, they all acted independently, and some tribes lived along the river and made a living by fishing and fishing pearls. They were not familiar with the cattle recordings formed by hunting activities, and could not understand the Eight Banners system improved based on the cattle recordings.

Some Jurchens live in the house and eat and take food like Chinese. They basically do not use temporary armed organizations such as Niulu, which are made up of villages and villages. They are very discriminatory to the Eight Banners system similar to military garrisons. Even Jurchens who live on the mountains and forests and make a living by hunting minks are used to the organizational form of temporary combinations when hunting and disbanding immediately after the soldiers are hunting.

For many ordinary Jurchens, they had to transition from the past without being bound by any organization to being subject to the jurisdiction of Niu Luezhen, Jiala Ezhen and Gushan Ezhen to the banner owner Beile, which was not acceptable overnight. In addition, the Eight Banners system is still sound and perfect. At this time, the people outside the pass were in the obedience stage of the Eight Banners system, that is, they did not subjectively accept the Eight Banners system, and they did not have much interest in the Eight Banners system in terms of cognition and emotion.

The inherent habits of the Jurchen tribes, understanding and need to have conflicts with the goals and disciplines of the Eight Banners system. At the same time, after being incorporated into the Eight Banners, the people of the Jurchens were responsible for more heavy labor services than before. For example, the state built castles, planted grains, and prepared boats and chariots, all had to be assigned to Niulu people according to the banner. In this way, there were also many fugitives and slaves among the Eight Banners.

After they captured Liao Town, they captured a thousand miles of Liao Town and all incorporated many Liao people into their team.

This is a matter of no choice. Jiannu has too few people. They occupied a thousand miles of land in Liao Town and had no way to control so many places and territory. Therefore, they adopted people like Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming, allowing them to develop and expand their own military forces in a whole area.

The problems of Jiannu and others always exist, because they have too few people to control such a huge place in Liao Town, so he would have massacred many cities. Otherwise, they would have no power to suppress the resistance of the local Liao people.

They captured Kaiyuan City, the most important town in northern Liao. On the day they broke, tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians in the city were killed. After the capture of Chenyang, the most important town in Liao, all 70,000 soldiers and civilians in the city were killed.

For example, they attacked Liaonan, and they were all bloody and pushed forward all the way. The rest either fled or surrendered to them. For example, the main ones of Kong Youde's tribe and Geng Zhongming's tribe are these surrendered Liao people.

Many people think that I was originally a native of the Ming Dynasty, but a Han citizen. It was just because the court did not have the ability to protect us, so that our family would be destroyed and became duckweed in troubled times. In the absence of any help, in order to save my life and eat a bite, I became a Jiannu.

Although these soldiers defected to Jiannu and became one of the so-called Eight Banners of the Han army, in fact, they had not yet shave their heads and clothes. Many soldiers only wore Jiannu's military uniforms, but they still had the unique hairstyle and outfits of the Han people. Only a few Jiannu generals in the army would shave their heads and put on jackets, and maintain the dressing habits of the Jurchens.

A large number of soldiers surrendered, making the soldiers of the Liu family army lenient in captivity. However, with Liu Zhongyong leading the army, more Liu family soldiers joined, which strengthened their control over the battlefield.

They sent more cavalry squads and quickly attacked to arrest the Jiannu soldiers who had escaped from the battlefield.

The composition of these Jiannu soldiers was very complicated. Most of them were from various ethnic groups in the Northeast, and most of them were Han people. This made Liu Zhongyong very angry. He said, "It would be better to kill all these shameless traitors and lackeys."
