Kong Fanhao thought of his soldiers in the Yansheng Mansion, and his heart was a little more steady. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Compared to the official mansion, his Yansheng Mansion is actually more like a shrunken kingdom. In the house, there are three halls and six halls, which serve as the specific management and office of the Confucian family. The three halls are all official offices, and the specific help of these officials is the six halls, said to be the six halls, in fact, more like the six departments, divided into classics, Si Le, hundred households, Guan Gou, Zhiyin, palm book six halls, complete composition of a small court.

The second hall of classics and music is in charge of the rituals and music; The Hundred Households Department is in charge of the guards of the Lin Temple, and there are hundreds of yamen under it, which directly manages the temple households; The Guangou Department is in charge of collecting rented grain and renting silver, and consists of Guangou Yamen and Tun Guan, General A, Small A, etc., forming a set of Xu Officials Agency; The second hall of knowledge and sealing, in charge of printing letters and documents. In addition, there are 40 deacons of the "Holy Temple" from the third to the ninth rank, and hundreds of subordinate members.

These personnel are not counted, the number of servant tenants in the Confucian Mansion is extremely large, tens of thousands, and the tun households and tenants in the Confucian Mansion are also organized according to the armor protection, and the armor protection system is implemented, which is a self-contained system, and even Kong Fanhao himself cannot say how many people there are. However, most of these large number of tenants are outside Qufu, and far water cannot save the fire.

Fortunately, there are more than 800 slaves in the Yansheng Mansion, and there are more than 500 soldiers in the mansion who can fight. In addition, there are more than 300 soldiers in the Confucian Temple next to it, plus the collateral children of the Confucian family, together with more than 1,500 people to come out to defend the city.

Kong Fanhao immediately ordered that all the Confucian Temple, Confucian Mansion enslavement and family soldiers be commanded by the direct descendants of the Confucian family, and go up to the city tower to defend the city. He also ordered someone to quickly notify Fu Xin, the deputy general of Yanzhou Town, who was in charge of Qufu's city defense, and asked him to defend the city well. He himself led the soldiers of the two hundred mansions and hurried to the city tower.

Northern Anhui accent? Could it be the thief who has been making a lot of trouble over there lately? Qufu is more than 400 miles away from northern Anhui, how could those thieves not attack the county town next to them, but come to attack Qufu, do you know that my Kong family has a huge amount of wealth? Even then, it shouldn't be.

Kong Fanhao was thinking in his mind, and he finally realized that something was wrong! If these thieves were really thieves in northern Anhui, who made a detour of four or five hundred miles to attack Qufu, they must not have come just for money, but aimed at their own Yansheng Mansion. Who is calculating themselves? Kong Fanhao was confused.

I didn't have time to think about it, Kong Fanhao's sedan chair had already arrived at the south gate of Qufu, where there were the most thieves, and nearly one-third of the soldiers of the Confucian Mansion and the guards in the city were concentrated here, and the rest of the city gates were defended by a small number of guards and slaves of the Confucian Mansion.

Fortunately, the thieves were mostly cavalry, and although they marched quickly, they were not good at siege, and they did not have much siege equipment. Kong Fanhao, who was standing on the tower of the south gate, breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking at the dense torches not everywhere outside the city, it seems that there are a large number of thieves. Although Qufu is much taller and thicker than the ordinary state and county walls, Kong Fanhao is still a little worried, there are too many thieves.

"Fire! Why don't you fire the cannon and kill those thieves! Kong Fanhao shouted at a thousand generals on the city tower.

"The Holy Father, Lord Fu said that there are not many cannons, and the thieves will attack the city before firing the cannons." Mr. Qian replied.

"Fire! Let's just say that my father said it! Fuxin, let him come to see his father! Kong Fanhao was furious, there are not many cannons, didn't he ask Yanzhou Town to give priority to Qufu City every year?

Suddenly, several small and medium-sized artillery pieces on the city tower began to bombard, and the torches outside the city were chaotic, and they retreated dozens of steps, but it seemed that there were not many casualties, obviously, the deputy general named Fuxin was right, two miles away, the artillery on the city tower was not accurate at all.

At this time, Fu Xin, the deputy general guarding Qufu, ran over, his face was temporarily wiped with black ash, and he saluted Kong Fanhao: "Yan Shenggong, the situation is not good, the thieves are besieging but not attacking, and the last general suspects that he has other schemes." ”

"Hurry up the patrol, cheer up the father, strictly guard against it, the father doesn't believe it, the thief can still fly in! As soon as the morning dawns, the Yanzhou capital city will get the news, and they will send officers and soldiers to support. Kong Fanhao said, and encouraged again: "Rich deputy general, defend Qufu City for this duke, this time you have made a great contribution, my duke will definitely report to the imperial court, ask for merit for the general, and protect you as the chief soldier!" ”

Fuxin hurriedly thanked him. But in my heart, I was full of slander: Who doesn't know, the Qing Dynasty is about to perish, the court is gone, and you still use this kind of nonsense to deceive me? If it weren't for the fact that almost all of his soldiers were controlled by the side disciples of your Confucian Mansion, he led the troops and fled.

At this moment, a side gate in the northeast corner of the city was blazing, and the shouts of killing shook the sky.

"What's going on?"

"Oh no, Yan Shenggong, the small east gate at the corner of the east gate was opened by a group of slaves in the house, and the inside and outside should be combined to welcome the thieves outside the city into the city!"

"Oh my God, damn slut! Hurry up and send troops to block the thieves, and you must not let the thieves attack the Yansheng Mansion! Kong Fanhao was so shocked that he no longer had the heart to defend the city, and ordered several Confucian disciples around him to inform all the Confucian soldiers to withdraw to the Yansheng Mansion and guard the inner city.

Kong Fanhao thought that as long as he kept his Yansheng Mansion, all losses would be acceptable. Those slaves couldn't imagine that they would betray the Confucian Mansion, and they didn't know who gave them such courage! Now these slaves can no longer be used, so he can only use his family soldiers to guard the inner palace first, and then he will find a way to negotiate with the leader of the thieves.

Who sent these thieves against him? Although Kong Fanhao was in a panic, he still kept thinking about this question in his heart. It was like a mountain that weighed him down. Because he knows that even if he escapes the ransacking of this gang of thieves this time, as long as the mastermind behind the scenes is still there, there will be a next time.

Rushing to the Yansheng Mansion in embarrassment, Kong Fanhao only hoped that the thieves outside the mansion really came to seek wealth, and robbed all the ordinary rich families and Yan, Lu, Meng and other families in Qufu City, hoping that their wealth could satisfy the thieves.

As soon as he arrived at the gate of the mansion, he saw a large group of clansmen rushing out of the mansion, and when he saw Kong Fanhao, he cried and shouted: "Master of the family, it's not good, those servants colluded with the thieves, opened the back door of the mansion, and led the thieves into the mansion!" ”

"What!?" Kong Fanhao only felt that the sky was spinning for a while, and the voice of the clansman was like a huge thunder, slashing at his heart! How can it be? Not to mention the saints, but to say that the Yansheng Mansion, which has lasted for nearly a thousand years since the Song Dynasty, has been passed into the hands of the seventy-fourth generation, but there has never been a thing where the Yansheng Mansion has been attacked!

Compared with Qufu City, the capital city of Yansheng Mansion is also heavily defended, and it has experienced thieves several times, but it has never been broken by thieves. But I didn't expect that this time, even the Yan Shenggong Mansion was broken into by thieves. This, this, I am really a sinner of the Confucian family through the ages, how can I have the face to meet my ancestors and ancestors!

Kong Fanhao's chest tingled, his throat was sweet, and a stream of stuffy blood spurted out, and he fell to the sky.

In the Yansheng Mansion, there was chaos, and the narrow place was full of Kong family members and slaves who were trying to escape, and the entire mansion had been surrounded by thieves.

Kong Fanhao woke up slowly under the shaking of several cousins and nephews, his face was pale, and there were screams in his ears, and the wails of his Kong family before they were killed by thieves.

After vomiting blood and falling into a coma just now, Kong Fanhao has awakened a lot, and his plan for now is to surrender to the thieves and see if he can save Confucius.

"Help me up, I want to see the leader of the thief army, I am willing to surrender to the Holy Mansion!" Kong Fanhao instructed the two cousins beside him.

At this moment, in the Yansheng Mansion, the soldiers and slaves have all fled, leaving only the Kong clan to guard the inner house. A group of people surrounded Kong Fanhao and came to the gate of the mansion, and hundreds of thieves with fierce faces came over with knives in their hands.

"Heroes, I was sent by the Holy Father, and I would like to ask your leader to come forward and reply...... Yes! Hearing only a scream and a few gunshots, the Kong clansman who was sent by Kong Fanhao to shout in front was shot in the chest and fell to the ground!

"Bastard! This, this, so it is! I understand! This damn Feng Yunshan, I curse you not to die well! Kong Fanhao's face was pale, and when he saw the clansman who was killed by a foreign gun, he woke up suddenly.

I see! I see! Kong Fanhao only felt bitterness in his mouth, he originally guessed that these thieves were instructed by someone behind them, but he couldn't think of who it was. But until now, when he saw those foreign guns, he finally understood that among these thieves, there must be many Cantonese thieves who use foreign guns! In addition to the Cantonese thieves, the local twist thieves, even the Qing army, did not have foreign guns at all.

Perhaps, these thieves are all pretended to be Cantonese thieves! Kong Fanhao guessed sadly. His heart sank to the bottom, and he couldn't understand why this thief surnamed Feng treated their Kong family like this? I can't think of any reason to do this! He, the newly enthroned emperor, doesn't he want his contemporary Yan Sheng Gong to add luster to him? Every year on the birthday of a saint and every time there is a big entrance examination, shouldn't a saint like himself write an article to applaud?

Lunatic! This thief surnamed Feng is a madman at all, just like Hong Xiuquan of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, he is a demon from hell!

Kong Fanhao can only speculate so.

During this time, dozens of clansmen and family members were shot and killed by foreign guns.

Kong Fanhao was frightened and frightened, but despite this, he still held on to a glimmer of hope, connecting with more than a dozen direct clansmen around him, he hid behind the crowd and shouted: "Don't shoot!" I am the seventy-fourth generation of the Holy Father, and I ask your leaders to come forward and reply! ”

No one answered, only a burst of gunfire. Several clansmen in front of them were shot and fell to the ground.

Kong Fanhao's eyes were blood-red, and he shouted frantically: "The military master opposite, I know that you are soldiers of the Chinese Empire, stop quickly, if there are any conditions, my Confucius Mansion can promise you!" ”
