Chapter 622: Hopeful for Unwrapping!
Qufu has always been the world of the Confucian family, from the beginning of the five dynasties, the land of Qufu County, most of the time under the rule of the Confucian family, the descendants of the Kong family to serve as the Qufu order or Qufu master bookkeeper is unknown. At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the Qufu Order became the hereditary position of the Confucian family!
Qufu County has also become the fief of the Kong family!
The rule of six or seven hundred years has made the people of Qufu County accustomed to taking the Confucian family as the sky. Once Yan Sheng Gong escaped, the residents of Qufu Castle would definitely fall into extreme panic.
The Qing army's rangers were operating outside the city, and once they found out that there was a great disturbance in Qufu City, the people fled one after another. So what's so polite? Don't kill and fight to make a fortune?
But Kong Yinzhi can't care so much anymore, he is now thinking about running away from Qufu as soon as possible - in short, he can't let the Qing army catch his old bones that are about to sink into the ground.
However, the Qufu Kong family is a thousand-year-old family, with a large population, more floating wealth, and now thousands of retainers and family members, it is impossible to run away quietly. Therefore, with the order of the Holy Father, before it got dark, the entire Qufu City was in chaos.
The people in the city, the military dependents, the Miao descendants of the Confucian family in Qufu, the officials under the command of Shi Kefa, the military gate of the seven provinces, and the official dependents...... The residents of half of the city took to the streets, pouring at the gate of the Yansheng Mansion and several gates of Qufu City, making a lot of noise.
Some people want to flee with them.
Some people wanted to prevent Yan Sheng Gong from escaping.
Others are panicked and don't know what to do, so they want to find a backbone.
The noisy sound crossed the high walls of the Yansheng Gong's Mansion and reached the ears of Kong Yinzhi, the Yansheng Gong, who had already changed into his suit.
Kong Yinzhi is 56 years old this year, he doesn't look very old, but his health is very poor, he has been sick, and now he is going to abandon his ancestral business and flee, his heart is irritable and depressed, and there are bursts of Venus in front of him, and his ears are buzzing. The noise from outside reached his ears, and somehow there was the sound of golden drums shouting and killing, which made him even more flustered.
He sat on a Taishi chair covered with soft cushions under the porch, watched the servants and maids in the courtyard tidying up the house, watched boxes of heavy silver being carried out of the cellar by the wrestlers in the house, and then passed through the courtyard and walked towards the back door of the Confucian Mansion.
Kong Yinzheng, who always calls him "Brother Shenggong", is actually very capable of doing things, and in less than half a day, he organized the running away almost as soon as it was dark, and he could leave the sad place of Qufu as soon as it was dark and go to Yidu to live a few days of peace...... Nanjing is not going, Nanjing is the world of the black-hearted emperor, and if he goes, he has to toss the remaining two million taels of silver.
Fortunately, Kong Yinzhi and Zhu Yihai have a good relationship, so they can go to him. Moreover, the situation in Qingzhou Mansion is much better than that of Qufu, which is topped by Gao Hongtu in Jinan Mansion, and Dongyu has not been able to enter it in the past two or three years.
In addition, the Confucian family has a mountain city in Taihe Mountain in Qingzhou Prefecture, the terrain is dangerous, and the scenery is also very beautiful. It can be used as a place for Kong Yinzhi to recuperate......
Just when he was fantasizing about his self-cultivation in Taihe Mountain, he saw his newly appointed head Kong Yin wearing iron armor and striding in riding boots, and saluted with a restless expression: "Grandpa...... The family has been sorted out, 2000 elites, half of them are firecrackers, half are ironclad soldiers, and they can keep their grandfather out of the city at any time......"
Kong Yinzhi looked at him: "How is it outside the city?" Did there appear a large force of Eastern cavalry? ”
Kong Yinzheng shook his head: "I didn't find a large group of Eastern Cavalry, but a small group of Eastern Cavalry came...... Grandpa, are you really leaving? ”
Hearing Kong Yinzheng's words, Kong Yinzhi breathed a sigh of relief, "Let's go...... We have been guarding Qufu for so long, we are worthy of the Zhu family! ”
If Kong Yinzhi hadn't gone this way, he would indeed be worthy of the Zhu family's favor for so many years. However, when he left, he gave Dolgon a big relief in his predicament.
Just rush this, he should also be buried by the scenery......
Kong Yinzhi took the Yansheng Mansion and a large family, as well as tens of thousands of people, military dependents, official dependents, officials, soldiers, etc., who lived in Qufu City, and fled from Qufu City one after another. The Qing Emperor Amadolgon didn't want to fight Qufu at all...... He also had illusions about war and peace, hoping to negotiate a precious peace.
In order to achieve this goal, he had to set up a battle formation south of the Dawen River, with the Guishan Heights as the core, and confront Zhu Cihong on Yunmeng Mountain and Horseshoe Mountain on the north bank of the Dawen River.
It was just a confrontation, and both sides pretended to show their teeth and claws, but neither had the courage to fight again.
For Zhu Cihong, he can't afford to lose now - although he has a lot of money in his hands, it will take time to replenish his military strength!
Guns, artillery, iron armor, spears, etc., it will take a long time to transport them to Shandong. And recruiting new recruits and then completing training doesn't happen overnight.
In addition, Zhu Cihong also planned to take the opportunity to sort out the armies of the four towns of Shandong and Huaibei Town, organize them into 20 model regiments, and realize "semi-centralization."
Before this series of work is completed, he needs to use the 30,000 people he has at hand to hold the field...... If you fight rashly and are defeated by Dolgon, then the situation in Shandong may be out of control!
Dolgon, on the other hand, can't afford to win now...... He still has an army of 72,000 people on hand, more than double Zhu Cihong's army! Moreover, after capturing the artillery and guns of the Shandong army, the firepower of Dolgon's headquarters was not under the opponent.
If you launch a strong attack, the chances of winning are still very large.
But...... Dorgon can't afford to win!
He already knew that the models on Yunmeng Mountain and Horseshoe Mountain were the model troops of the new army, and now they were defending against the danger. The Qing army is going to attack strongly, and I am afraid that the losses will be more than that of the other party!
Kill 10,000 enemies, I'm afraid it will cost 20,000 self-damage!
After this battle, the Great Qing Kingdom is not far from victory and destruction...... Dolgon doesn't want to be the last emperor of the Qing Dynasty!
So he didn't dare to fight either.
If neither side dares to fight, then there will be only negotiations. The envoys on both sides came and went, deceived and coaxed, and they exchanged several times in less than two days.
"Huang Ama, the slave has seen the emperor of the Southern Dynasty himself this time, and he is in Yunmeng Mountain......"
It was Zuo Maotai who was reporting the progress of the negotiations in Dolgon's tent, and he was in the green flag, so he was qualified to be called a minion.
"What conditions does he have?" Dolgon looked at Zuo Maotai and asked.
"He doesn't believe in Emperor Amma...... "unless Gege is allowed to pass first." ”
"What?" Dorgon scratched his scalp, "How can you agree to this?" It's not that I don't want to let Dongor go over sooner, but I have to wait for the two sides to negotiate...... What has become of the past now? ”
"Emperor Ama," Fan Wencheng was also in Dolgon's big tent, "I'm afraid the Emperor of the Zhu family still wants to fight!" ”
Dolgon sighed bitterly, "It didn't hurt...... But how can we hurt him? ”
Fan Wencheng and Zuo Maotai glanced at each other and had nothing to say.
What you can't get on the battlefield, how can you get it at the negotiating table?
Zhu Cihong lost one game, but he could afford to lose, and he could continue to lose, and he would continue to lose until Dolgonguang - fighting a war is not gambling, and the army is not a bargaining chip. Zhu Cihong's lost army will not become Dolgon's army.
As long as Zhu Cihong replenishes faster than the rate of loss, and Dolgon's replenishment speed is slower than the speed of loss, then the outcome of the war must be that Dolgon loses everything.
Fan Wencheng paused, and then said: "Huang Ama, Zhu Cihong still has a trump card that has not been played!" ”
Dolgon took a breath: "Wu Sangui! ”
Fan Wencheng nodded: "Wu Sangui may defect at any time...... We can't help but guard against it! ”
A burst of iron blue flashed on Dolgon's sallow face, and just as he was about to say something, Suke Saha's voice full of surprise came from outside the camp: "Huang Ama, good news, the Ming army of Qufu has abandoned the city, and Kong Yinzhi, the Yansheng Gong of Qufu, has fled!" ”
