Chapter 69: Confucius and Mencius
Yuan Shizhong's refusal made Zheng Zhipeng breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, if this little Yuan Ying suddenly withered, the impact on Zheng Zhilong would be great. It was also a heavy blow to the overall situation of Qilu's resistance to the Qing Dynasty.
But if Xiao Yuanying obediently obeyed the order to go north and quickly advanced to Zou County, it would feel like a different picture.
The two armies marched towards Yanzhou together, and the news spread to the city, and the prefect of Yanzhou, Deng Fanxi, was below, and the soldiers and civilians in the city were all happy. Tongzhi Tan Si went north to Tai'an to welcome Zheng Zhilong, and Yan Ding was sentenced to go south to Teng County to welcome Xiao Yuanying. The crisis in Yanzhou seems to have improved a lot after there were more reinforcements from the north and south.
After Turge, who was stationed in Jining, heard the news, he also had to separate a trace of his spirit, but he paid more attention to Zheng Zhilong. As far as the latter's performance in Niuzhuang is concerned, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses are killed, which is still a bit of a deterrent. Xiao Yuanying was not looked at by him at all, he just thought it was a group of rogue kol.
Of course, the problem now is not only Zheng Zhilong, but also that Zhu Wen.
“…… Jiannu slaughtered all the Liao people, plural entered the customs, and captured millions of people, all of whom were degraded and punished as slaves. The order to cut the hair and drag a rat's tail behind is to make the Chinese people become dogs. China has a Chinese crown, and now Jiannu wears another crown, a monkey crown, and a bad ancestor wears a crown, which is to make Chinese people forget their roots. …… The traitor wants to turn summer into a ruined one, so that I will not see the light of the sun and the moon, and this hatred of the heavens will not be shared. ”
Kong Meng, Zeng Yan, and the four of them are all together. In addition, the Manchu Qing's "shaving hair and making it easy to wear" was an absolute shame in the eyes of the Han people, and this incitement should not be underestimated.
Turg is not a brave man, so he still attaches great importance to the appeal of Kong Meng. Before entering the customs, Huang Taiji had orders from him and Abatai, first, Qufu could not be touched; Second, the Temple of Literature cannot be destroyed. He is fresh in his memory.
However, the old slave family was scolded miserably in this article, and the attitude of the four families of Kong, Meng, Zeng, and Yan was also something that Huang Taiji could not have predicted before. If Turg doesn't give some indication and the news gets back, he may also suffer.
Dog minion, don't care about the humiliation of your master, what use does Lao Tzu want from you?
"Killing brothers and sons, trails like jackals, taking sisters and aunts, and walking with dogs." That scolded both the old slave father and son as brutes. Turg must have a representation.
"Lord Angbang Zhangjing (Dutong), the lower officials think that the Kong family still can't move. Just say that Qufu is in the west of Yanzhou, so it is inconvenient to use soldiers. However, the Meng family in Zou County ......, and its reputation is far away, so it is better to use it to kill chickens and monkeys. It is more suitable than the Zeng family of Jiaxiang [Jining, which is occupied by the Qing army, just across the canal]. I also give these Nikans a powerful look, so that they can know the strength of my Qing soldiers. ”
Turg's subordinate shouted Hurib. He is a first-class guard of Huang Taiji, the commander of the Sentinel of Bayala - the commander of the Bayala Sentinel, and his status is transcendent in the account. Of course, I have more insight than others.
Now the officials of the Eight Banners Tartars, there are few people who remember Confucius and Mencius in their heads, let alone know that the Meng family's momentum is far inferior to the Kong family.
Dong E Eshuo saw the hesitation on Turge's face, and immediately shouted: "My lord, Meng Wenyu is guts, and Kong Yinzhi and others signed the text, and now it has spread all over the place, although it has not added trouble to my army, but this text is vicious, once it is fermented, how can those scholars in Nikan not be affected?" Such sins must not be easily forgiven. ”
This is the father of the legendary Dong E. Well, it's the rumored love of Fulin, who is now only five years old.
From Hejian to Dongchang Mansion, and then to Yanzhou, Kong Yinzhi, Meng Wenyu, Yan Shaotong, and Zeng Hongyi signed the text of the Manchurian Confession, which was spread one after another, and there would be no shortage of people who wanted to come to the Ludong area. Although the danger has not been revealed in a short period of time, once this text has been fermented, it will inevitably have a great impact on the next actions of the Qing army.
They broke through the border and entered the fortress in order to weaken the war potential of the Ming army, attack the Zhu Ming government, and strengthen themselves. But although the army has broken many cities until now, it has not made much money. Therefore, it is necessary to divide the troops to the east and south.
Because Beizhili and Jinan have been robbed, and there is Hong Chengchou in the west, then you can only go to the east and south. The army first took Yanzhou, and then the soldiers divided into two routes, all the way east to Qingzhou, Dengzhou, Laizhou, and all the way to the south to kill Nanzhili.
Along the way, although the Qing army has won many battles, it is not easy to win one battle after another. Not to mention that the local gentry class is so called by the four great families, if it is really that there is no distinction between north and south, no distinction between the old and the young, no matter who they are, they all have the responsibility of defending the land and resisting capture; Really jumped up at the right time, gathered to respond, and retreated to the battle, wouldn't it be more difficult for them to break the city in the future?
Just like the current Yanzhou City, the officials and gentry in the city can't be said to be rich and powerful, but most of them are like this. Regardless of whether there was any fishing in the troubled waters, a civilian army of several thousand people was pulled up. That is a big trouble for Qing Junyan!
The Qing army's soldiers are no matter how sharp they are, and if they are blocked by such a city or city, they will sooner or later become the end of the crossbow. Turg's soldiers and horses had not yet been resisted by the civilian rebels, but the 'prospects' of the future were seen by a few discerning people in the military tent.
The Confucian family, the Meng family, the Zeng family, and the Yan family, four families that have been inherited for thousands of years, although except for one Confucian family, the other three are only vassals of the Confucian family. It's just a doctor of the Pentateuch, it's a fart, it's just a fig leaf.
Otherwise, how could there be a folk proverb in Yanzhou that "Confucius is very beautiful, Mencius is very lonely"?
But the Meng, Zeng, and Yan families are in decline again, and now they are tied to the Confucian family, and the descendants of the Confucian Most Sage, Yasheng, Fusheng, Zongsheng, and the descendants of the four major families are all signed, denouncing the Manchu Dynasty for its tyranny, and the Eight Banners are inhuman, and it is not small for the fluctuations to spread.
The meaning of Eshuo is to strike first and shake the scholars of the Central Plains.
He was an old man who had followed Turg to the west of Jin many years ago, and he was a little less restrained in his speech. bluntly said that he wanted to kill the Meng clan in Zou County as a chicken, and no one in the account felt that it was inappropriate.
A hand that can only hold a knife is meaningless in the eyes of literati and inkmen.
Although the Manchus had a lot of Ertars, they rarely used these people except Huang Taiji when he first entered the fortress, and then when he entered the fortress in Koubian. Fan Wencheng, Ning Wan and I and other traitors were not present, otherwise they would have reprimanded E Shuo's words.
But none of them are there. Although Turg is not a savage with a muscular head, his understanding of Confucius and Mencius is average. knew that the Kong family itself could not move without permission, but the Meng family ......
To be honest, if it weren't for the signature of Meng Wenyu in the text, the signatures of Yan Shaotong and Zeng Hongyi, how would he know the Meng family, the Zeng family, and the Yan family.
