"Just do it. The Kong family and the Meng family are not very good birds, up to Wuhu, down to Mengyuan, like reeds swaying in the wind. really died in the hands of the Tartars, that is the way of heaven! ”

"But you have to clean up the whole thing!"

On the shores of Surabaya, the frozen ice reflects the bright light of the sun. Zheng Zhilong and Zheng Zhiguan strolled along the embankment, and the guards dragged far behind.

"Big brother, rest assured. I didn't leave any of them. Zheng Zhiguan's tone was full of excitement and said firmly. He was very happy in his heart, and after Zheng Zhilong learned what happened, he didn't blame him.

"Then expose this matter, and you will no longer be able to assert it in the future. You've done a lot of things to me. Those few people who handle it, you will be transferred back to Fujian Province to settle down, let them rest. ”

Zheng Zhilong is very aware of the impact on himself after this incident is exposed, and people in the world will only regard Zheng Zhiguan as an extension of his will, so they will not clearly separate Zheng Zhiguan from him Zheng Zhilong.

So, he had to make sure that the absolute thing was hidden, at least for the last two years.

And as for whether to be angry or not? Of course he was angry.

But this 'anger' is not angry Zheng Zhiguan's 'audacity', but angry that he is so sideways that Zou County, Jiaxiang and Qufu are likely to become the targets of the Tartars' sweeping and plundering. Pingbai put a few heavy burdens on his back.

Originally, it was just a battle around Ziyang, the capital city of Yanzhou, and the situation suddenly expanded. He had a few insufficient troops.

But in the depths of his heart, Zheng Zhilong was really a little happy about this matter.

Zheng Zhiguan is really talented, and a few simple big-character posters forced the four families of Confucius and Mencius to a dead end. It couldn't be more wonderful.

If it is possible, the Confucian and Mencian families will be slaughtered by the Tartars, and it will not be a big problem for China. But only if he is not implicated.

On the contrary, it will also become an indelible stain on the Manchus—they have no respect for Confucius and Mencius and are not allowed to Confucianism. At that time, see how they will merge with the gentry class of the Central Plains in this time and space?

At this point, Zheng Zhilong is really curious, if the Tartars really slaughter Kong Meng, and wait until two years later, if the Manchu Qing can still enter the customs and go south as scheduled, will there really be so many shameless Sven scum to serve the Tartars?

Their ancestors have been ravaged by the Tartars.

Then anyone who still has a little shame and a little face will not be able to surrender to the Manchus, right?

However, Zheng Zhilong, who had no confidence in the integrity of the scholars in the late Ming Dynasty, felt in the dark that even if the Tartars burned Kong Lin and slashed the Meng Temple, there would still be a large number of shameless literati vying to serve the Manchu Dynasty. They will also definitely come up with a reason that Zheng Zhilong can't even think of now to wash the floor of the Tartars.

That's what it feels like!

Because ah, people are all creatures of interest. The two rivers are clearly in their respective interests. As for the incorruptible discipline? Hehe.

Look at the historical Sun Zhiqi, shaving his hair is easy to wear, and his shamelessness has been stinking for thousands of years. So why aren't the clothes and hair accessories the ancestors to some extent?

There is also Qian Qianyi, whose water is too cold and his scalp is itchy. Donglin giant, isn't it also shameless?

That's not just the scholars and doctors at the end of the Ming Dynasty, thousands of years of history, there are always some people who can give up anything in order to survive, for high-ranking officials, and for their own interests.

"This text cannot only be spread in the Central Plains of Qilu, but also sent to Jiangnan and Huguang. The other is to keep an eye on the four families of Kong, Meng, and Zengyan......"

Zheng Zhilong believes that these four people are not the ones who sit and wait to die, and when the crisis of life and death is coming, they will definitely take action. As long as the latter shows his feet under the coercion of the Manchus, it will be a big deal! Since Zheng Zhiguan has already blackmailed the Kong family, he can't give up halfway.

Zheng Zhiguan perfectly understood the shallow meaning of his eldest brother's words. But people were still stunned, and they were surprised by Zheng Zhilong's instructions to continue to engage the Kong family. But he immediately understood the enormous benefits involved. As long as you can catch the evidence of Confucius and Mengtong, the benefits are not too much.

After all, it is a prestigious family that has been inherited for thousands of years, even if it is only used as a tablet, even if it is confined to the small Yiqufu, Zou County and Jiaxiang County, the accumulated wealth should be amazing. Not to mention that the four major families themselves also have huge political significance. That's all that matters.

So to put it back to that, in the current war, as Zheng Zhilong really wants to see, the scene of the Tartar slaughtering the Kong family is actually impossible.

As long as he is involved in the current situation, once Qufu is lost, once Kong Lin has something, the responsibility will be indispensable to him.

Therefore, Zheng Zhilong must ensure the safety of Qufu at a critical moment. Because Kong Lin's political significance is too great! If he stops his troops and sits back and watches the Qing army invade Qufu, hehe, no matter how much good reputation he has earned in the past half a year, it will not be enough to ruin it all at once.

Besides, it is not a pity to separate the Kong family from Kong Lin, the death of the Kong family, but Kong Lin was ravaged by the Tartars, this is also a shame, isn't it? Just like someone Bai shouted to destroy the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum when Tongzhi was in turmoil, it was an unacceptable shame for the descendants of Yan and Huang of China.

Therefore, Qufu cannot be lost. However, what will happen to Zou County, then it can only depend on the destiny of heaven, and it will be too late to see Yuan Shizhong. But Zheng Zhilong calculated that it was mostly in time.

Besides, Meng Wenyu still has legs, can he still run? The same is true of Jiaxiang's Zeng.

In this way, the four families of Kong, Meng, Zengyan and Yan will "sit back and relax". They will continue to exist, so naturally there will be great interests worthy of Zheng Zhilong's attention to them.

Zheng Zhilong led the army to the outside of Yanzhou City, and Turge naturally would not sit idly by, but compared to the battle that had broken out in Zou County, Zheng Zhilong's measures were much more 'gentle'.

At least he rushed straight to the city of Yanzhou without a head.

The north wind howled across the land, and the banks of the Surabaya embankment were crowded with fleeing crowds and wagons, and the cries of women and children could be heard from time to time. Most of them were refugees who had fled from the north, and they were supposed to go to the south, but it was rumored that there had been a Tatar in front of them, which made the people in the other places panic, and they all turned to Qufu to the east.

After Zheng Zhilong arrived with his army, the chaotic group of refugees had turned eastward. One by one, they dragged their families and helped the old and the young, lest they be left behind, and struggled to move forward in the bitter cold, throwing away the items that they couldn't move all the way, and there were many corpses on the side of the road that had fallen to death due to illness or physical exhaustion.

What could he do? A group of unarmored soldiers could only be dispatched to rush to escort with food.

And Zheng Zhilong himself is anxiously waiting for the battle report from Zou County!

The soldiers and horses of Xiao Yuan's battalion naturally cannot be compared with the Manchu Tartars, otherwise, Yuan Shizhong would not be trapped at the junction of the three provinces, and there is no way out.

But in the current battle of Zou County, Xiao Yuan's battalion is fighting more and less.

There are tens of thousands of horses in Yuan Shi, and there are cities to bear, but Turg will not throw out tens of thousands of soldiers and horses for a small Zou County. If Xiao Yuanying can make a big start in Zou County, it will be of great significance to the entire battle situation.

"Dashuai, Zhou Lianggong asks to see you."

Zheng Zhilong led the army to stop, and the army turned to build a camp more than 20 miles away from Yanzhou City, Li Shiyuan did not react, but Zhou Lianggong was a little breathless.

"Dashuai." Striding into the tent, Zhou Lianggong's face showed anxiety.

"Do you want to lead the army into Yanzhou City?"

Zheng Zhilong didn't wait for Zhou Lianggong to speak, and he found out his thoughts. He didn't have no one in his eyes just because the person in front of him was just a small magistrate. In fact, whether it is Zhou Lianggong or Li Shiyuan, just because the two of them did not make a moth when Zheng Zhilong took over the military power, and they both fully cooperated, it is worth giving Zheng Zhilong a high look.

Such people, whether you say that they have a sense of the overall situation, or that they are well-informed, they are all talents.

In Zheng Zhilong's future layout, these two people have already been regarded by him as the object of investigation, as long as the two of them are qualified in the next time, they may not be able to become the characters in his Zheng Dashuai's entrainment, and become the right-hand chess pieces he arranged on the chessboard of Qilu.

"The handsome man sees it." Zhou Lianggong looked happy. This Zheng Dashuai is really not ordinary.

"The soldiers are coming to the city, and there are reinforcements entering the city at this moment, which is really a great incentive for Yanzhou." Zheng Zhilong spoke slowly, and Zhou Lianggong nodded again and again. "And how many soldiers do you want to bring?"

Zheng Zhilong is reluctant to enter Yanzhou City, once the soldiers and horses enter the city, the Qing army will block the four gates, Yanzhou City will be stable, what about other places?

Qufu doesn't talk about it, but what about Qingzhou and Denglai? Is it just the civilian army that remains?

Zheng Zhilong's rhetorical question is an exam for Zhou Lianggong, if this person has to go to four or five thousand people in one bite, it will definitely fail.
