Chapter 319: The Bull Demon King is here
The battle here at the city gate ended quickly, and with the cooperation of the Dacheng army, which entered the city first, Wu Dong quickly took the Qubu city gate.
Soon after the city gate was taken, a group of about 1,000 soldiers came in the distance. These people are dressed in tattered clothes, and the weapons in their hands are also varied.
Wu Dong came to a big man and said, "General! The small one has already taken the gate of Qubu, and Qubu is already ours! ”
Wu Tieniu stretched out his hand and patted Wu Dong on the head and said, "It's all said!" I am Wu Niu, the bull demon king of Niulanshan, and if I can't remember it, I'll go back to Lao Tzu as a coolie! ”
"Yes! Be! Be! The little one must remember next time, Brother Wu, what should we do next when we lay down Qubu? Wu Dong asked cautiously.
"Of course it's robbing his mother, and the grain merchants in the city have robbed Lao Tzu all over it. Especially the Kong family, aren't they piled up with grain? Now it's all Lao Tzu's Niulan Mountain! Ha ha!! Wu Tieniu laughed as he spoke.
The Niulanshan men and horses led by Wu Tieniu rushed towards the city, and the officers and soldiers in the city had already followed Zhang Dou to Jinan Mansion, and there were less than 200 officers and soldiers in the city.
Most of these people are the families of big families in the city, and when they heard the news that the Dacheng army had entered the city, they ran away in an instant.
The news that they had entered the city spread, and chaos broke out in the city. The city of Qubu, which had just settled down, was once again in chaos, and the people were better, they were not as afraid as the rich merchants.
The gentry and merchants fled to the other gates, and the Dacheng army specialized in robbing and killing people like them. If you escape slowly, I'm afraid you won't be able to save your life, and as for the property and the things you can't take away, you can only rely on your fate.
Kong Yanzhi is still drinking tea and practicing calligraphy in the study as usual, and since Zhang Dou was forced to leave by him, he has been in a good mood for the past two days.
Qubu City was no longer threatened by the Dacheng army, and it was once again under his control. Since he had suffered some losses in the grain collection some time ago, he was considering whether to increase the tenant rent by 10%.
While he was thinking, the door to the study was slammed open. A family member ran in in a panic, "Master, it's not good...... ”
Kong Yanzhi was first startled by the sudden intrusion of the family, and then he was angry with the reckless family in front of him.
What is called the lord is not good! Is this cursing oneself to death? The more he thought about it, the more angry Kong Yanzhi became, and he didn't give Jiading a chance to speak, and he scolded him when he opened his mouth.
"Shut up! You slave dare to curse the old man? Are you not good for my Kong family's family law......" scolded a cup of tea, and Kong Yanzhi stopped talking.
He gasped slightly and said, "Next time, I will mix up the Kong family for the old man!" Go ahead! What's up? ”
The family was so frightened by the furious Kong Yanzhi that he didn't dare to squeak, and when the old man had vented enough, he whispered: "Master! The Dacheng army has entered the city! ”
"Hmmm! Got it! Kong Yanzhi nodded and replied, picking up the teacup and just about to drink saliva to moisten his throat.
When he brought the teacup to his mouth, he suddenly paused, and pointed to the family with a trembling hand and said, "What did you say? Tell the old man again? ”
"The old man has entered the city! Now the people in the city are fleeing out in panic, and the little ones come in and ask the master, do we need to run outside the city. The family replied honestly.
Kong Yanzhi confirmed that after the Dacheng army entered the city, he could no longer sit still. He smashed the teacup in his hand at the family member on the ground, and roared angrily: "Why didn't the thieves enter the city earlier? ”
The family didn't dare to dodge when he was hit by the tea cup, he just said: "Master! Just now you stopped the little one and didn't let the little one say it! ”
At this time, the shouting and killing sound from afar had already reached the Confucian Mansion, and Kong Yanzhi didn't have time to take care of this family. He strode out to the main hall, where there were already many people.
"The Confucian family has been inherited for thousands of years and has never experienced sword soldiers. This time will not be an exception, instruct the family to guard the gate and not let thieves enter the house! Send out people to find out the thieves' movements! Although Qubu City is broken, Kong Yanzhi is still very confident.
His faith comes from the inheritance of the thousand-year-old saints of the Confucian family, no matter who wins the world, he needs scholars to govern.
In this way, they not only did not commit any offense against Confucius, the holy place in the hearts of the literati, but also appeased more.
With the support of the Confucian government, you can be recognized by the people of the world, and only then can the rule of China be stable.
So Kong Yanzhi didn't worry too much, just asked the family to guard the door of the house. Don't let the rebels enter the house, so as to save accidents.
The facts were similar to Kong Yanzhi's expectations, and the Dacheng army that entered the city did not come to the Confucian Mansion in the center of the city. Instead, they looted the shops on the streets, and as long as they were grain stores, they were almost emptied by the Dacheng army and rebels.
The family members sent out by the Confucian Mansion continued to pass back the movements of the Dacheng army, and Kong Yanzhi gradually relaxed his heart. The thieves loaded the looted grain into trucks and transported it out of the city, and in a short time they had emptied a grain store.
It seems that the gang of thieves is just trying to get some food, and when they have enough food, they will leave. At that time, he might still be able to make a lot of money with the grain in his hand, and just when he wanted to take advantage of the shortage of food to make a big profit, the ground under his feet shook with a loud bang.
Everyone in the hall changed their faces in unison, and they all looked at Kong Yanzhi on the main seat.
Kong Yanzhi suddenly stood up from his seat and shouted outside, "Someone's coming!" Let's go and see what's going on? ”
Not long after, someone came to report that the Dacheng army had blown down the wall of the backyard of the Confucian Mansion, and a large group of Dacheng troops had entered the Confucian Mansion!
Kong Yanzhi sat on the chair when he heard the news, his face completely devoid of the calmness just now.
He kept saying, "How dare a thief do this? ……”
"The head of the house! Do you call a family nursing home to protect the middle court? A steward said.
His words reminded Kong Yanzhi, "Yes! Right! Gather all the active men in the Confucian Mansion to come and protect the Kong family! We must not let the thieves enter the backyard and harm the Kong family! ”
The entire Confucian Mansion moved, and the men in the family took up their weapons and ran to the backyard.
Here they finally saw the ragged Dacheng army, and they found that these rioters did not harass the families of the Confucian Mansion, but aimed at the granary in the backyard.
The door of the granary has been smashed, and someone is loading grain on a large cart and transporting it out of Kongfu.
The Kong family organized 300 family members to prepare to drive the chaotic people who rushed into the mansion out of the house, and these family members with weapons and trembling legs were killed and fled in confusion as soon as they came into contact with the Dacheng army.
It's okay for these families to collect rent and bully the people on weekdays, but it's a dish when they meet outlaws who really dare to work hard.
In particular, there was a strong man with two large axes in his hand, and this man picked up the big axe and cut down the three people who rushed to the front to the ground.
The rest of the family were frightened by this man's brutal methods, and the big living man could be cut in half with a single axe. Who dared to make a move with this murderer, and was so frightened that they retreated.
"The Bull Demon King of Niulanshan is here, which one will fight with me!"
