Because Yuan Chonghuan was indeed in command in the Battle of Ningyuan, and he repelled Nurhaci and kept Ningyuan City, the first time in the Ming Dynasty's war against the Later Jin Dynasty had an ending that was not a failure.

So Yuan Chonghuan used this as capital to fool Emperor Chongzhen, who had not studied much, to gain power by drawing big pie for him.

Chongzhen believed it and pressed the coffin on Yuan Chonghuan, and appointed him as Minister of War and the commander of Ji Liao. Yuan Chonghuan became a second-rank official in the court.

In fact, Yuan Chonghuan did get the power he wanted. In the second year of Tianqi, he was still the magistrate of Shaowu, Fujian. In less than six years, he climbed from an ordinary 7th-rank magistrate to the second-rank Ji Liao Supervisor, and his promotion was faster than taking a plane.

Even in the second year of Chongzhen, Yuan Chonghuan forged an edict to kill Mao Wenlong, Chongzhen told himself that if Yuan Chonghuan could do it, he would definitely be able to complete the task of pacifying Liao within five years.

So he was not punished, and even gave him some rewards to encourage him to complete the task of Ping Liao as soon as possible.

However, three months later, the Tartars took a detour through the Mongolian grasslands, broke through Longjing Pass and Da'ankou, broke through the wall and entered the barrier, and attacked Beijing City.

After the promised pacification of Liao in the fifth year, the Tartars were actually beaten to Beijing. Moreover, the general Man Gui was shot to death by Yuan Chonghuan. Zhao Rujiao was also killed in the battlefield due to Yuan Chonghuan's command error.

Chongzhen felt that he had been deceived, so he was furious to imprison Yuan Chonghuan. He was not going to kill him, so he was left to deal with after the war.

It was originally agreed that the Liao Dynasty would be pacified for five years, but there was no movement for two years. The generals who killed the imperial court were quite skillful. The two generals Zhao Rujiao and Man Gui were also killed.

What Chongzhen did not expect was that his general Zu Dashou actually led his army to escape because Yuan Chonghuan was imprisoned.

Under Yu Dacheng's deception, Yuan Chonghuan wrote a letter to Zu Dashou, and Zu Dashou actually stopped his troops and stood by, which made Chongzhen feel murderous towards Yuan Chonghuan.

Chongzhen killed Yuan Chonghuan not because he killed Mao Wenlong, but because Chongzhen saw that he was deceived by Yuan Chonghuan.

People who have been deceived have this experience. When you trust someone very much, and have great expectations for him, and invest a lot of money in him, you finally find that he is cheating you for your money, normal people want to kill him.

Therefore, since this incident, Emperor Chongzhen was particularly afraid of being deceived. Once there was a little sign or if the work was not good, he would immediately dismiss his post or go directly to prison.

At the beginning of this year, because the governor of Yansui, Hong Chengchou, violated the strategy of "suppression and pacification" of the three-sided governor Yang He, and killed and surrendered in large numbers, the bandits in Shaanxi did not dare to accept the pacification anymore and fled to the surrounding Shanxi and Henan. The good situation collapsed instantly.

In July, Wang Ziyong and Lao Huihui, Eight Vajra, Sweeping the floor, Shot the Sky, Gao Yingxiang, Zhang Xianzhong and others, and more than 200,000 troops gathered in Shanxi. Li Zicheng followed Gao Yingxiang and called "Crazy General" and joined Zhang Xianzhong's troops. Then he began to attack prefectures and counties everywhere. In the past, the bandits were just wandering and almost rarely attacked cities. Now they can attack counties, which shows how rampant it is.

Chongzhen also completely lost patience with Yang He, thinking that he had been deceived by him, otherwise why would the thieves become more and more rampant as they suppressed Yang He, and then arrested Yang He and were imprisoned and asked to die.

Then he appointed the governor of Yansui, Hong Chengchou, as the Right Minister of War, the Right Chief Censor, and the Governor of the Trilateral Military Affairs.

Fortunately, Yang He had a good son, Yang Sichang, who was involved in politics in Shandong, wrote a letter to ask for his father to be punished. Chongzhen admired Yang Sichang very much, so for Yang He's son, he spared Yang He's life and changed Yang He to exile.

The dignified three-sided governor angered Chongzhen and all of this ended up being the case. Although the Kong Youde mutiny was temporarily suppressed by the cabinet Fu Zhou Yanru, Chongzhen may not know yet.

But if it is not resolved as soon as possible, the matter will be delayed for a long time and the impact will be enormous. I am afraid that Sun Yuanhua will follow in Yang He's footsteps.

Today, Sun Yuanhua called Wang Hui over and said that he had something to discuss. He came over without thinking too much. However, seeing that Sun Yuanhua was no longer frowning, but smiling, he couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

So he asked, "Chuyang, the situation is so decay now. Why are you still laughing? If Kong Youde doesn't handle this matter well, you won't even have a chance to get out of here if you want to get out of here."

Sun Yuanhua handed a document to him and said, "This is a report from Sima Rui, a thousand households in front of Wang Xuzhai. According to his report, Kong Youde has led his army to Laizhou City and is now stationed between Laizhou City and Wang Xuzhai Qianhu District. It seems that this matter will be resolved soon."

After reading it, Wang Hui still didn't feel relaxed. "Chuyang, even if this matter is resolved, it may not be a trivial matter. If Kong Youde just mutiny, it would be fine if this matter is calmed down. The Ming army now mutinys a lot, just suppress it.

But he had captured six county towns in a row and defeated the Qingzhou garrison and Governor Yu's Biao camp outside Qingzhou City. This is not a small matter like mutiny."

Sun Yuanhua, who was originally a little smiling, suddenly became depressed. He pretended to be relaxed just now, and he was completely deceiving himself.

However, he was still optimistic. "Sima Rui's report, you have also seen that since Kong Youde left Qingzhou, he has not committed any crimes against the prefectures and counties along the way. After receiving the food and grass in Laizhou, he did not stop and returned directly.

Moreover, it is said that there is a group of Liaodong refugees with thousands of people who have been accepted by Kong Youde. Judging from his appearance, he is ready to accept the pleading. As long as we quickly settle this matter, my guilt will be much less."

Wang Hui is not a fool. He knew that Sun Yuanhua was preparing to recruit this riot soldier. As long as the recruitment was successful, Sun Yuanhua's mistakes would be much smaller and the impact would be even smaller.

Moreover, there were Xu Guangqi and Fu Zhou Yanru in the court. With their support, they should not follow Yang He's footsteps.

But he still didn't like this because he felt it was not so easy to successfully recruit "Chuyang, you also know that Kong Youde alone would be fine. He is not the kind of person who commits crimes, and there must be some hidden information in this.

But you only have that. Li Jiucheng also appeared in Kong Youde's army for some reason. It is said that he led his army to defeat the Qingzhou defenders.

Li Jiucheng has always been rebellious. Even if Kong Youde is willing to accept the pleading, if Li Jiucheng interferes, it will be difficult at this time."

Sun Yuanhua stared at him and said, "This time Li Jiucheng went out, I sent him to Xuanfu to buy horses. There were only some servants and confidants around him, and they did not bring his troops with him. Although he was a general like Kong Youde, he was simply unable to compete with Kong Youde.
