Chapter Seventy-Three: Yan Shenggong Iron Cavalry Chase the Sages
"Why don't these guys give up?"
Yang Qing sat on the Taishi chair, guarding a table, with his feet on the table, holding a toothpick and sticking the watermelon on the table while eating, looking outside and saying.
At his feet was the wall of the Ten Thousand Palaces.
On the other side of the moat, hundreds of elderly villagers were lying there crying, and some people simply carried the tablets of Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di and others on their heads, while the house slaves next to them held various banners, blood books and the like, in short, to show their loyalty to the Ming Dynasty.
It is said that Shandong loyalists have not given up their efforts.
After Chongzhen arrived in Qufu, local officials from all over the vicinity, elderly villagers, ran in groups to block the door as if crying and mourning, trying to save Chongzhen's mind, and even some local guards and subordinates were ready to come to the armed demonstration, but they were all beaten by Gao Yigong without exception. Even if the latter leaves a large number of garrisons along the way, there are still 10,000 troops here, and the original 10,000 was to send Chongzhen to Xuzhou and then take over Xuzhou, where is the front of the future Shun army control area, and the Ming army is Huai'an, leaving a buffer zone between the two sides. Gao Yigong was also afraid that Chongzhen would be robbed last time during his trip to Qufu, Yang Qing took three thousand Guanning iron cavalry to escort Chongzhen to Qufu at the same time, his soldiers and horses also controlled Yanzhou and the surrounding areas of Qufu, and those who tried to use force to admonish were all beaten back by him, as for those who cried and mourned, it didn't matter.
Anyway, it's good for him, too.
In fact, he was happily holding a small notebook and keeping a black account on the side!
Keep a list of these guys, and just put the sticks on them one by one after Chongzhen leaves.
The poor old villagers didn't know that they were already queuing up on the road to the stick, because Yang Qing's brocade guards took over the various gates of Qufu, and it was impossible for them to enter the city to confide in Chongzhen, and in the end they could only block the Yangsheng Gate, crying towards Chongzhen and their beliefs, saying that they were very persevering on a hot day, although their shouts could not be heard by either Chongzhen or their faith......
Even the Holy Father of Yan hid.
Kong Yinzhi knew very well that he couldn't show up at this time.
As soon as he showed up, it would be embarrassing, supporting these elderly villagers would destroy his image in Li Zicheng's mind, this is the guarantee of the safety of the Confucian family, and in the future, he still wants to strive to be the Yan Shenggong of the Great Shun Dynasty, if he doesn't support them, he will break with the Shandong gentry, after all, he is also a Shandong gentry, and they have entangled interests with each other.
It will also become a laughing stock.
Against the backdrop of the loyalty of these people, the spiritual leaders of Confucianism theoretically flattered the thieves in exchange for wealth, which is very despicable! Although the Kong family often does this kind of thing, it is all in the case of being with the gentry, and those gentry will naturally wash the floor of his house in the future. But now this is different, Li Zicheng is completely different from the ones they knelt in the past, this is completely on the opposite side of the gentry, it's okay not to meet, the old villagers must hope that he can stand up and act as a representative of the Shandong gentry and even the northern gentry. He must refuse, if he doesn't refuse, the Kong family should be unlucky, but the refusal angers the latter, they have the right to speak after all, and these guys are angry and hyped up, and even simply recorded it in the history books for him, and the image of the Kong family collapsed.
is an ostrich like Chongzhen, at least he can retain a trace of face.
Therefore, Yan Shenggong also made ostriches.
The Wenchen accompanying Chongzhen also made ostriches.
They are also shameless to these people, most of them are old officials, and their qualifications are much higher than them, just like Zhang Fengxiang pointing his nose and scolding them, they have to endure it, and no matter how good Wu Weiye's eloquence is, he has to shut up in the face of a person who was a jinshi when he was not born.
So why are you scolding?
"If you want to hide, there is no way, go, invite Yan Shenggong, Zhang Shangshu, and Wu Siye."
Yang Qing said to the Jinyi guard beside him.
"What if they don't come?"
The latter asked cautiously.
"If you don't come, you have to come!"
Yang Qing said with a sneer.
Indeed, if you don't come, you have to come.
Half an hour later, Kong Yinzhi, Zhang Shenyan and Wu Weiye were brought by the brocade guard, Wu Siye also angrily scolded these rough billets while walking, but Yan Shenggong was more cultivated, and he never broke a smile on his face. Seeing them coming, Yang Qing immediately got up and walked over, and before Kong Yinzhi could react, he put his arms around his shoulders, and in the angry shouts of the Kong family's slaves behind him, he directly grabbed Yan Shenggong's neck and dragged him to the women's wall.
"Yan Shenggong, what do you mean by this?"
Yang Qingluo said with a smile.
"Yang, Yang Tongzhi, contemptible, no, I don't understand!"
Kong Yinzhi's face turned red and said with difficulty.
"Brother is here to be a guest in Qufu, is this your hospitality? Brother and Cao Dudu ran to Qufu on this hot day with thousands of men and horses, they came to drink wine and eat meat, not to be angry, did you make such a group of crying and mourning people block the door to drive us away? Brother, I am indeed young and my official position is not high, but I can't let you bully me like this! ”
Yang Qing said.
"Yang Tongzhi, don't be unreasonable!"
Zhang Shenyan shouted.
"Vexatious? Then ask Zhang Shangshu to go out and understand the reason! ”
Yang Qing said.
Those brocade guards rushed up, and in Zhang Shenyan's angry shouts, they directly set him up and put him in a big basket outside the city wall, Zhang Shenyan struggled and wanted to climb up, and a brocade guard happily pushed the basket with a spear shaft, and the basket shook immediately. Zhang Shenyan was so frightened that he hurriedly hugged the rope with both hands, and at the same time, the brocade guards on the city wall turned the winch, and the big basket slowly fell to the bottom of the city.
"Send Wu Siye down too!"
Yang Qing said.
"Yang Qing, this generation disturbed the Holy Driver, wouldn't it be a dereliction of duty for you, as a Jinyi Guard, not to drive them away?"
Wu Weiye struggled and shouted.
He is not stupid, because Zhang Fengxiang's smear has long been a traitor in the eyes of the gentry in this area, and there are even rumors that he bewitched Chongzhen, and countless northern gentry hate to bite him to death. He knew that his combat power was definitely not as good as Ma Shun, and Ma Shun didn't hold it up, let alone him.
"I can't get rid of it!"
Yang Qing pretended to lament.
At this time, Jin Yiwei had already put Wu Weiye on the women's wall, the latter could just overlook the bottom, and Zhang Shenyan below had reappeared, but his clothes were also broken, and there were more blood marks on his face, and he was caught by a bunch of old guys and spitted wildly, and although Zhang Shangshu was also talented, he was still alone in the face of so many equally talented people, so he could only parry in vain, and one of them was still holding boots to pump him in the face......
"What is the use of your soldiers and horses?"
Wu Weiye reprimanded angrily.
"This generation is all old and virtuous, how can they be added with swords? I have a lot of respect for them. ”
Yang Qing also shouted righteously.
"Put it down!"
Then he said.
"Yang Qing, you rebel, I have no grievances with you......"
Wu Weiye screamed in horror, and then was directly pressed into the basket by a group of brocade guards, and then put it down again, many of the old villagers who were besieging Zhang Shenyan below knew him, and it was said that he was also the leader of the Jiangnan poetry circle, the leader of the year, famous all over the world, so before he landed, countless angry scoldings sounded. Wu Weiye grabbed the rope and desperately climbed up in horror, and then a villager below jumped like a zombie in Resident Evil, grabbed his clothes and dragged them off directly. Immediately after that, the villagers behind abandoned Zhang Shenyan and rushed towards this new traitor, Wu Weiye still wanted to jump into the moat, but after all, he was still a step too late, and was dragged into the crowd and disappeared under the countless big feet under the drag of countless hands.
"Yan Shenggong, it seems that you have to go out in person to find out what to reason!"
Yang Qing said with a regretful face.
Wu Weiye's screams suddenly came from below.
Kong Yinzhi shuddered for a moment, and suddenly changed his face to righteousness and said awe-inspiringly: "Yang Tongzhi, isn't what Wu Siye said clearly enough, this generation despises the holy decree and disturbs the public opinion, and you are the minister who protects it and sits back and watches it rampant!" ”
"What does Yan Shenggong mean to send troops to expel him?"
Yang Qing said.
Kong Yinzhi hesitated.
Wu Weiye, who had a blue nose and swollen face and was covered in blood outside, finally crawled out from countless feet, but then he was picked up and thrown into the moat by those old villagers, struggling in the river and sinking, and then these guys looked at the city one by one with hideous faces......
"Yes!"
Kong Yinzhi said without hesitation.
"Quick, brothers, open the city gate, the cavalry is arrayed, Yan Shenggong said to expel with soldiers and horses, let's all listen to Yan Shenggong, by the way, this kind of thing has to be led by Yan Shenggong himself, please Yan Shenggong get on the horse!"
Yang Qing said with satisfaction.
Kong Yinzhi looked at him with pleading eyes.
Then his gaze was ignored by Yang Qing, and then the Jinyi guard dragged him to the city, and hundreds of Guanning iron cavalry under the city lined up, and soon accompanied by the thunderous sound of horses' hooves, the torrent of cavalry rushed out of the Yangsheng Gate with Yan Shenggong as the vanguard, rushed through the wall of the Ten Thousand Palaces, and crashed straight into those old villagers. Pity the latter, the group beat Wu Weiye and did beat it heartily, but how could their old arms and legs withstand the cavalry? In particular, it can be said that the strongest cavalry of the Ming Dynasty in this era, these three thousand Guanning iron cavalry are all those Wu Sangui slaves, the cavalry who charged along the small bridge on the moat, hugged Yan Shenggong as if holding a banner and rode forward, knocking over and trampling under the horse's hooves.
The latter screamed and scattered in an instant.
"Trouble, I don't believe you can make trouble with tanks!"
Yang Qing said disdainfully.
"Isn't that right? Your Majesty in case to blame? ”
Cao Youyi said cautiously.
"They will not disperse when they block the door, and Your Majesty will not be able to keep Qufu, as long as Your Majesty goes out of the city, then you still have to face them after all, so what should Your Majesty do? Is it by His Majesty's order to expel by force? How good is this, this is what Yansheng Gong did, Your Majesty doesn't know anything! ”
Yang Qing said with a smile.
