In the end, the generals of the Qing army could not argue about the result, Yue Le still decided to retreat with the whole army, there was no point in holding on to this Wuhan Jingzhou, and the Mawei army was already about to drive straight into Anhui, take Shandong, and then take the capital. Wu Sangui's army had already taken Sichuan, and there were also a large number of Wu troops in Shaanxi and Gansu, and when the imperial court mobilized troops and horses to gather in the capital, the situation in Shaanxi and Gansu was also precarious. If this continues, his 300,000 army will soon be pinched to death by Wu Sangui and Geng Jingzhong. Hurry up and retreat and stick to the hinterland of the Central Plains, otherwise you will be cut off even a little retreat.

When he arrived in the hinterland of the Central Plains, he still had a large number of cavalry, and he could let the Mongolian cavalry help, so he could suppress the enemy. Along the Yangtze River, there are many mountains and steep roads, and the terrain is complex, which is not suitable for cavalry combat, and the Central Plains region is different, basically a horse and a flat river, which is very conducive to cavalry impact. Back then, the Qing court was the 18th Banner Iron Cavalry that dominated the world, and even now, it is still the Qing army's cavalry battle advantage!

Wu Sangui can exchange war horses with Tibet, but the number is still limited, there are not many good horses, and forming a cavalry team of 20,000 is already his limit, and there is no more financial resources. The Qing court was different, they could obtain a steady stream of war horses through the Mongolian steppe, and at the same time they could transfer some Mongolian cavalry to participate in the war, and the cavalry force would definitely crush Wu Sangui and Geng Jingzhong. is that the two families together are not as many as the Qing court. Yue Le thought of this, and he was still a little comforted in his heart, since he was a child, the imperial court would not be defeated like a mountain.

The horsetail army has not expanded much in the past two years. The original 6,000 cavalry transferred back went through many major battles. More than 300 were lost in battle. Later, three thousand were again mobilized from Luzon. As a result, the total number of cavalry divisions of the Mawei Army on the mainland reached 9,000, and the 1,000 who remained in Luzon served as instructors to continue training new cavalry. After continuous immigration, the total population of Luzon has exceeded 400,000, catching up with the Taiwan occupied by the Zheng family. Except for the first conscription of 10,000 cavalry, there was no further conscription. Beginning at the end of last year, the Mawei Army again recruited troops in Luzon, and the number of soldiers was still 10,000. It was handed over to the former cavalry stationed in Luzon for training.

Jiang Yuanxun, the commander of the cavalry division, was also promoted to lieutenant general, but his position was still that of the commander of the cavalry division, but he became a special cavalry division, with two cavalry divisions under his jurisdiction, and the ranks of the cavalry division will continue to grow in the future. This time, the attack on Anqing, and even the preparation to take Anhui, did not ask Jiang Yuanxun's cavalry division to go out. Originally, he wanted to break through from the position of Sizhou City to Fengyang Mansion in Anhui, but he was sent to Xuzhou by Geng Jingzhong and led his 5,000 cavalry to prepare to conquer Yanzhou Linyi.

Linyi, named after the Linyi River, is located in the southeast of Shandong Province and borders Xuzhou. It is adjacent to the Yellow Sea in the east, and is known as "Qilu Throat, Xu Huai Lock Key". It has always been a battleground for soldiers. Slightly to the north, along the canal, is the city of Jining, which controls Linyi and Jining, and the whole of Yanzhou enters the control of the Mawei army. At the same time, the Mawei Army Navy in Bohai Bay also received Geng Jingzhong's latest order, and all the navy began to attack Dengzhou, Shandong, with a multi-pronged approach.

Dengzhou faces the sea on three sides, that is, the area of the Shandong Peninsula in the later world, Weihai, Yantai, and Qingdao, where the Mawei Navy can land lightly, and Dengzhou does not have many Qing army defenders, which is a credit to the navy to send to the door.

The total strength of the entire Shandong Qing army garrison is more than 30,000 people, but how can it be the opponent of the 30,000 Mawei army, but the cavalry unit at the head of the Mawei army has conquered Linyi and Jining one after another, but this is also thanks to the fact that the city has already been ventilated with the Mawei army, and the inside should be combined with the outside, and the city was taken very smoothly. After Linyi fell into the hands of the Mawei Army, before the news reached Jining, Jiang Yuanxun led the cavalry troops to gallop quickly and directly into Jining, and then Jining also fell, and there was no time to react. As long as the Mawei army rushed into the city, there was not one Qing army that could resist to the death. The news that the Mawei Army had hit the capital had spread all over the world, and many officials felt that this day was indeed about to change, so the strength of the resistance was almost negligible, and it felt a bit like responding to the general trend.

"Commander, what should we do with this Yan Holy Father? Our army took Jining, and also took Qufu by Shun, but Qufu is the territory of the Confucian family of Yanshenggong, and the status of the Confucian family is so special, it is not easy to move, we are tied up over there, it is really embarrassing! "The chief of staff of the cavalry division received a report from the cavalry battalion below, and immediately came to Jiang Yuanxun, this problem is really not easy to solve, once it is not good, it may bring great trouble to the metropolitan governor Geng Jingzhong.

"I also know, but I don't think the Metropolitan Governor will let the Kong family do evil, and he won't care too much about the prestige of the Kong family. Just look at the future schools opened by the Metropolitan Governor in various places, and the Metropolitan Governor did not put the Four Books and Five Classics in the main position at all, so there is no need to worry. Jiang Yuanxun replied. However, this matter really has to be reported to the Metropolitan Governor, and it will not take a few days anyway. ”

"Indeed, most of the governors have arrived in Hefei, the capital of Luzhou, and it is less than a thousand miles away from Jining, so let the heralds suffer some hardships, and it will take three days to go back and forth."

"Okay, that's it! But while sending the letter, the plan is still according to the original implementation, and I will arrest the miscellaneous pieces of the Confucian family that are in trouble, no scruples, the Metropolitan Governor absolutely agrees with us doing this, hum, the Metropolitan Governor said that the people's hearts are more important than those false reputations! ”

Within three days, Geng Jingzhong's reply was sent to Jining, and instead of reprimanding, he praised Jiang Yuanxun and other generals. This matter is well done, for the matter of Yan Shenggong, Geng Jingzhong will have to deal with it sooner or later. It's also a good thing to deal with it early. Pusbags are always going to be punctured, and after they are punctured, they will always get better.

Seriously speaking, the matter of Yan Shenggong is indeed a trouble! Until now, Geng Jingzhong has not completely thought about how to deal with this very special family. It's hard, it's really hard. Yan Shenggong, heaven and earth, a unique name. The origin of the name. It's because of a man named Confucius. How influential was Confucius? Just look at the worship of the world's scholars.

The Mawei Army occupied Yanzhou. After occupying Qufu, the landlords and gentry who dealt with the local troubles were not soft, and they were also able to kill a large number of underworld forces in various cities and towns, but it was very annoying to deal with the descendants of Yan Shenggong. Confucius, who was the example of the world's scholars, was put to the point of "sainthood". According to the thinking of the Chinese, saint is a little worse than God. Geng Jingzhong also knows. No matter what he does with this Kong family, it will attract a burst of criticism. Anyway, Geng Jingzhong will not treat the Kong family as favorably as he did in previous dynasties, and give such and such preferential policies for no reason. Geng Jingzhong has always believed in giving as many rewards as he has made to the ship, and this individual deserves it, and the Kong family has not given credit to the Mawei Army. At this moment, there will inevitably be a conflict with the reader, and it will definitely cause a storm.

But for the time being, the world has not yet been decided, in order to win over the world's scholars or the gentry class, Geng Jingzhong cannot personally come forward to remove Yan Shenggong from the altar. However, do not give Yan Shenggong some blows. He will also cause a great obstacle to the development of the Mawei Army. Therefore. Geng Jingzhong gave Jiang Yuanxun a Jianyi, that is, to let the local people organize spontaneously and open the cannon to Yansheng, but his own family deliberately ignored it.

Geng Jingzhong knew very well that it was absolutely impossible for scholars to rise up against Yan Shenggong. No scholar has the courage to do so. The only possibility is the poor masses, or even the hooligans and the like. In order to survive, they don't care who you Confucius is! As long as you Confucius stand in my way, I will take your life! Under Geng Jingzhong's inaction, to be precise, deliberately laissez-faire, the poor people of Yanzhou Mansion continued to rise up against Yan Shenggong, these attacks were aimed at the Confucian family's previous violations of law and discipline, to be precise, the Confucian family's sons and daughters harmed people, and the Confucian family's slaves harmed people, were all found out, killed and killed, and at the time of the public trial, more than eighty percent of the people in Qufu came to watch, shouting and scolding, which shocked the eyes of many Jiangnan scholars who were invited to visit. It turns out that there are so many miscellaneous things in the family of Yan Shenggong, and the people are angry to such an extent, it is rare, the unfilial descendants of the Kong family really embarrass the Confucian saints!

The current Yan Sheng Gong is the sixty-sixth generation grandson of the Kong family, his name is Kong Yu Zhe, and he was canonized as Yan Sheng Gong in the sixth year of Kangxi, that is, eight years ago. At that time, he was only ten years old, and now he is just eighteen years old, and he has just married his wife last year. In addition to Yan Shenggong, there are also a lot of false titles, four years ago, Dr. Guanglu was added, and last year, Kangxi added the prince and young master in order to win the hearts of the world's scholars.

However, for Geng Jingzhong, it is better to let him come sooner rather than the storm that should come. Regarding the handling of Yan Shenggong, blindly evading, it is absolutely impossible. The three words Yan Shenggong have attracted the attention of too many people, attracted the attention of too many people, and involved the interests of too many people. It can be said that as long as you are a reader, it is impossible to ignore it. This is not simply a family issue, but a question of the status of the reader. Once Yan Shenggong was uprooted by Geng Jingzhong, the status of scholars was naturally reduced.

Geng Jingzhong also has a large number of scholars, and now he can condone Jiang Yuanxun and other martial artists to the Yan Shenggong Kong family like this, and Boone has other radical actions. Otherwise, it would be troublesome for those scholars under his command to go on strike. When these readers are touched on their core interests, they will still desperately resist, and don't underestimate the power of readers. In recent years, Geng Jingzhong has vigorously opened a future school, vigorously developed a technical school, and also worked hard to improve the status of craftsmen, which has made them feel uneasy.

The question of Yan Shenggong seems simple, but in fact, it is really not simple to operate. Because, this is no longer a family problem, nor is it a problem of the Mawei Army's power, but a problem related to the whole world. As a symbol of scholars, Yan Shenggong's status is a symbol of the status of scholars, and of course they don't want to see Yan Shenggong taken away by Geng Jingzhong.

But there is also a good opportunity in front of Geng Jingzhong, and now he really needs the help of readers. There is no country where the scholar can still function without it. Before his future school blossomed all over the country, the only readers in the country, especially the truly talented readers, were the objects of contention from all sides. Geng Jingzhong's opportunity is that now this Yan Sheng Gong is already under the control of the Mawei Army, if Yan Sheng Gong votes for the Mawei Army, then the exemplary role will be quite obvious. The future of the Mawei Army will be brighter.

Although Geng Jingzhong asked Jiang Yuanxun to do something to the children of the Confucian family, it was only against those real tumors. The Kong family, who was supposed to study, still didn't move. Along with his reply to Jiang Yuanxun, he also brought back a handwritten letter to Yan Shenggong Kong Yuzhen. In order to let the Kong family return, Geng Jingzhong also gave Kong Yu generous conditions in the letter. As long as Kong Yuzhi took the initiative to announce that he would join the Mawei Army and join him Geng Jingzhong, and called on the world's scholars to join the Mawei Army, then the Kong family would have made a great contribution, which could be compared to the role of a 100,000 army, so at this time, it was natural for Geng Jingzhong to give another reward, and the generals under his command would not be dissatisfied.

I mentioned in my heart that as long as Kong Yu is attached, the biggest advantage is to give the Kong family a fief in the future, the location is not in the mainland, Australia or Nanyang, and the fief is large enough, equivalent to the area of Shandong Province. This is already attractive enough to go outside and be the emperor of the earth. The letter mentioned that in the future, the Kong family could form a fleet to expand their territory like the rich people in Jiangnan, and they would be given as much as they wanted, of course, the prerequisite was to obey the central government.

Will the Episcopal Church succumb? Geng Jingzhong believed that he would consider it carefully. The false name of the Holy Father is much more important than the real benefits. From ancient times to the present, the Yanshenggong family no longer knows how many dynasties have changed, and they certainly know how to choose. If the Yan Shenggong family was still obsessed, Geng Jingzhong really didn't mind destroying them completely. To kill a person, you don't need to make your own move at all, you just need a little hint and start a small movement. Mass movements have always been a weapon of mass destruction, and no matter who they want to destroy, they can be destroyed without a trace. Who would have doubted Ah's head at that time? Anyway, Amiyue's evidence, who wouldn't be? (To be continued......)
