Talking about the escape, Kong Youde has something to say: "Outside the north gate is the water city, go directly to the sea from the water city, the sea is wide and the fish jumps, the sky is high and the birds fly, as long as we go to the north, the court can no longer help us."

Li Yingyuanhu said suspiciously: "When it comes to escaping, General Kong immediately has a plan, is there a draft for a long time, and you are thinking about how to escape when my father is not dead?" ”

Kong Youde said angrily: "Your father wouldn't talk to me like this when he was there, what kind of thing are you, accusing me in a weird way?" In fact, from the time when the war was unfavorable, he began to look for a way out. This mutiny was originally provoked by Li Jiucheng, he was just passively involved, and now under the persecution of the imperial army, he is losing and retreating, and there is no hope, so his desire to flee is even stronger. For Li Yingyuan's words, he was a little annoyed and angry.

Seeing that there was a smell of gunpowder in the words of both sides, Wang Zideng hurriedly came out and made peace with the mud, "They are all their own brothers, discuss things, don't hurt the peace." If you can't beat it, you can run, which is also a natural thing! It's just that when you run and where you run, you have to sum it up. ”

Seeing that someone said that he was together, Kong Youde also got off the donkey down the slope, glared at Li Yingyuan, and continued: "Since there is no hope of appeasement, I will definitely not go back to Dongjiang Town directly." Dongjiang Town is still under the rule of the imperial court, Shen Shikui and Shang Kexi have unclear attitudes, who knows if they will pit us and sell them to the imperial court? ”

Wang Ziden asked, "What does General Kong mean?" ”

Kong Youde glanced at everyone, licked his lips, and said in a deep voice: "Since Daming no longer has a place for us, why don't you do anything, and go directly to Liaodong to vote for Huang Taiji!" ”

This proposal instantly exploded in the audience, and everyone was first taken aback, and then they exchanged heads and began to discuss. After all, he has been a military attache of the Ming Dynasty for so many years, and it is a natural hostile position with the Tartars, and now he wants to openly surrender to the enemy, and the psychological hurdle cannot be overcome. This is different from raising an army to make a rebellion, the rebellion is just an internal contradiction among the people, and you can accept appeasement afterwards, and if you defect to the Tartars, you will be poked in the backbone, and the reputation of your children and grandchildren will be ruined in the future.

Li Yingyuan didn't make a sound, his face was cloudy, he was weighing the pros and cons of doing this, and considering whether he should make this bet.

Wang Zideng hesitated: "Let's not talk about the reputation of the Tartars, just because we followed Mao Shuai and killed so many Tartar soldiers back then, can this Emperor Taiji tolerate us?" Will it be clicked as soon as it passes? ”

Kong Youde replied firmly: "Huang Taiji is a great talent, he is a generation of heroes, he still has this bit of belly, and he will not dwell on the past things, even if he is buying bones and making an appearance for others, he will not treat us like this, otherwise how dare the Han people work for him in the future?" The Dingkou of the Tartars is so much in total, the Han people in the world are dozens of times that of them, whether they are entrenched in Liaodong or go south to the Central Plains, they will have to rely on our Han people. If you want to say that you killed some Tartars, did the ancestor of Liaodong kill fewer Tartars? When Da Linghe surrendered, Huang Taiji took all the Baylor and ministers out of the camp to greet him, and even went to the altar to worship the sky! Even if Zu Dashou later escaped by fraud, Huang Taiji was still polite to his son and brother, and he didn't move a finger. ”

When the people heard this, their hearts were reassured.

Li Yingyuan spoke: "Huang Taiji is not a fool, behind Zu Dashou is the Guanning Army, it is the Jinzhou defense line, as long as Zu Dashou is sincerely surrendered, the Tartars can annex the Guanning Army, and the long-term drive will go straight in, and the border defense line is useless." People have strong chips in their hands, what can we have, just rely on the tens of thousands of people who are now put together to form a rabble? ”

Kong Youde snorted: "I have also thought about this question, Zu Dashou has bargaining chips, and we have it too." What is the most valuable thing in Dengju City? It's not gold and silver, it's not grain and grass, it's cannons, Hongyi cannons! ”

Hearing this, everyone fell silent, and the play came.

Kong Youde looked around and continued: "The Tartar field battle is very tight, but there is no way to fortify the city, and the attack on the city depends on the siege. In that year, Huang Taiji personally attacked the Daling River, a city wall that was not repaired, Zu Dashou hurriedly responded to the battle, the grain and grass in the city were exhausted in a few days, and the Tartars besieged it for three months, and finally relied on persuasion to take the Dalinghe City. If there is a Hongyi cannon, Huang Taiji may be able to attack the city in less than a month. You say, if we take all the Hongyi cannons in the city to Liaodong, will Huang Taiji pay attention to it? ”

Li Yingyuan licked his lips and showed a greedy smile: "I will definitely pay attention to it, and I will give us a heavy reward and a seal." ”

Seeing that this thorn was also attracted by his proposal, Kong Youde smiled proudly: "In addition to these cannons, there are also craftsmen who cast cannons in the city, and when the time comes, they will be dedicated to Huang Taiji, and the Tartars will have cannons overnight, and they will have the ability to cast cannons, with these dry goods, the reward of gold and silver is only a small head, even if we are crowned a prince, it is not too much ......."

Wang Zideng was a little worried: "It's good to be so good, but will it be poked in the backbone by the people of the Ming Dynasty?" ”

Kong Youde glared at him: "What did Da Ming give us?" Mao Shuai made such a great contribution to the Dongjiang River, but was killed by Yuan Chonghuan, a minister; We followed Mao Shuai to kill so many Tartars, but in the end we were squeezed out of the Dongjiang River and reduced to Shandong to be favored by the locals. At this point, are you still worried about your reputation, and do you still think you can turn back? ”

The prince said: "This ......"

Kong Youde glanced at everyone, and said with a gloomy face: "Fame and reputation can't be eaten, we can't live, what do you want to do with these vain things?" Now, everyone present has expressed a posture, squeaks who are willing to follow me, and stand up who are unwilling to go, I am not reluctant. ”

Everyone hesitated, looked at each other, and did not immediately express their position. Li Yingyuan took the lead in raising his hand and shouted: "I agree, the court is unkind to us, don't blame us for being unjust!" ”

Some people took the lead, and others also raised their hands and shouted, "It's done!" The subordinates are willing to follow General Kong! ”

At this time, a voice came out: "I'm sorry General Kong, my family all died in the hands of the Tartars, I swore an oath, I swore to stand with the Tartars in this life, and no one can vote for the Tartars." ”

Kong Youde fixed his eyes and saw that this person he knew, it was a thousand presidents under Geng Zhongming, so he squeezed out a smile: "If you don't want to go with me, I'm not reluctant, I talk about it." ”

The Qian general manager clenched his fists and confessed: "I'm really sorry, brother, I can't do it with everyone, you will be promoted and make a fortune, and I will never be red-eyed......" said and walked out.

Kong Youde snorted at the pro-soldiers at the door, and the two pro-soldiers understood, and when the Qianzong stepped out of the door, he drew a knife and slashed at his neck. Blood rushed to the sky, and a head gurgled and rolled to the ground. This Qian always didn't expect that Kong Youde would break his promise.

"I said I wouldn't force you to come with me, but I didn't say I wouldn't kill you." Kong Youde spat at the head on the ground, and then looked at everyone, "Who else wants to end up like him?" ”

The rest of the people were silent, and no one dared to raise their voices again.

Kong Youde nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, everyone is willing to do it, then set off in three days and board the ship from Shuicheng to the sea." ”
