This time they came were all idealistic and aspiring Japanese robes, wearing soft armor inside, coarse cotton robes outside, carrying five days of dry food, disguised as fleeing refugees, and the soldiers went straight into the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty in two ways.

3,000 people all the way, along the direction of Rizhao, Juxian, and Pingyi, went straight to Qufu.

More than 5,000 people rushed to Huai'an. According to the plan, these Japanese would seize the ships in Huai'an, and then go south along the canal, cross the Yangtze River, and reach Zhenjiang.

Finally, from Zhenjiang to the west, go straight to the filial piety tomb outside Nanjing.

Let's say that the road in Shandong is a hundred miles a day, and it will be in the barren mountains west of Surabaya City in five days.

Thirty miles to the west, it is the county seat of Qufu.

At this point, the pirates became less confident and began to doubt themselves: this is too smooth, why is no one caring at all?

You really can't blame the Japanese for this, the local government and guard office of the Ming Dynasty are so mysterious.

In the fourteenth year of orthodoxy, he also led a large army into Shanxi, with at least 30,000 cavalry, and according to the most conservative calculation of one man and one horse, there were also 30,000 people and 30,000 horses.

So many men and horses entered Shanxi and set up an ambush in Yanghekou, but no one could find out, attacking and killing 40,000 Ming troops.

Then he went to Harrier Ridge to set up an ambush, just like being invisible, no one could find out, and attacked and killed the main force of the Ming army's cavalry of 50,000.

Chased to Tumubao again, the Ming army still couldn't find it, couldn't give early warning, and then the Ming army was gone.

Now there are only 3,000 Japanese robbers on this road in Shandong, only one-tenth of the previous year, and there are no horses, so they are naturally more hidden.

Some guards or local governments found out, but they only treated these widows as outcasts.

Now Shandong is full of displaced people, and the health office and the government are too lazy to take care of it.

The group of displaced people disguised as the Japanese invaders neither robbed nor lingered, and the guards and the government were eager to turn a blind eye and pretend not to see it, as long as nothing happened on their own territory, Amitabha Buddha would be killed.

Besides, Shandong has been peaceful for decades, and no one would have thought that there would be thousands of Japanese robbers flowing to the mainland on sunny days and daylight, what is the picture? It can't be to attack Beijing, thousands of people are not enough for the Son of Heaven's pro-army to stuff the teeth, and looking for death is not such a way to die.

Although they were full of suspicion, they hid in a secluded valley and rested for the night.

On the seventh day of the first month of October, before dawn, the three thousand Japanese invaders hurried west for thirty miles, and when they came to the outside of Qufu City, they were just in time to open the city gate.

As soon as the city gate was opened, the homeless people poured in like a swarm.

Originally, according to the meaning of the Kong family, now that the displaced people are raging, don't open the city gate if there is nothing to do. As soon as the door is closed, isn't it good for everyone to sing and dance in the city?

It's a pity that Lu Fan is here!

King Lu was not allowed to close the city gate, and every day he wanted to let the exiles in, and then set up a porridge shed in front of the county government to help the exiles.

At the beginning, King Lu scattered his wealth, spent money and grain, and provided rice porridge for the people every day. Regardless of the old, the young, the women and the children, everyone can get a bowl of hot porridge, although they can't fill their stomachs, but at least they can save their lives, let alone sell their children and daughters.

In recent days, the emperor has brought in grain from the internal treasury, and the people can not only have a bowl of hot porridge every day, but even receive two steamed buns.

In addition, 10,000 quilts were also distributed to the homeless, so that many people had to rely on to shelter from the wind and keep warm.

However, compared with tens of thousands of displaced people, this is still a drop in the bucket and cannot last long.

The people of Qufu all felt the kindness of the emperor and the king of Lu, and accumulated endless anger for the indifference of the magistrate and the Confucian mansion.

What has the Confucian Mansion brought to the people of Qufu over the years? Annexing land, stealing and plundering, oppressing the people, and rampaging the countryside.

If it weren't for the emperor protecting the Confucian Mansion, the people would have torn apart the Confucian family.

But he said that the three thousand Japanese outside the city looked at it, and this was really God helping me. The homeless people poured into the city, the servants broke the jars, and no one at the city gate was investigated.

So what are you waiting for, three thousand Japanese pirates mixed in with the true outcasts, and entered the city without much effort.

The real refugees went to the county government, and the fake refugees went straight to the Confucian Mansion.

The county seat of Qufu is not large, and the Confucian Mansion is very conspicuous and easy to find, so the Japanese invaders did not make much effort to surround the Confucian Mansion.

With mental calculations or unintentional, even the Daming Beijing camp can't stand the enemy's sneak attack, let alone the Confucian Mansion.

The defense measures of the Confucian Mansion are aimed at the homeless, but when you encounter the 3,000 Japanese who are used to licking blood from the knife edge, you can't look at it at all.

The Japanese invaded the Confucian Mansion and did not rush to hurt people, but first tied up all the people in the Confucian Mansion.

Then the Japanese were divided into three groups, one group looked at the people of the Confucian Mansion, and one group went to loot the treasures, but the leaders locked Kong Yanjin in the study, first showed Kong Yanjin the handwritten letter written by the Emperor of the Back Garden to the Emperor of the Yan Dynasty, and then forced him to reply to the Emperor of the Back Garden himself.

As for the content of the reply, it is necessary to clearly promise to cooperate with the Emperor of the Back Garden, plan to go to Japan with King Yi, and support the restoration of King Yi, and use the power of Japan to return to Beijing and regain orthodoxy.

Kong Yanjin was stupid, and he never dreamed that such a thing would happen. After writing such a letter, once the defendant sends it, can he still die?

A leader who was proficient in Chinese was quite empathetic and knew what Yan Shenggong was thinking, so he put the Japanese knife on Kong Yanjin's neck: "Yan Shenggong, think about it, write it, if you hold the handle in our hands, you may die." But if you don't write, you'll die immediately.

One is likely to die, the other is immediate, so weigh it yourself and make a wise choice.

As you know, the war between Japan and the Ming Dynasty is at a critical moment, and we are sincerely supporting the restoration of King Yi, in order to oust the current Emperor Ming from the throne, so as to relieve the crisis in Japan.

If you cooperate with us, the successful restoration of Yiwang in the future will also be of great benefit to your Confucian Mansion. ”

Kong Yanjin has been repeatedly ridiculed by today's son recently, and he is obviously not welcomed, if King Yi can be restored, it will naturally be in favor of raising his hands and feet.

But it's one thing for Kong Yanjin to be willing to see King Yi's restoration, and it's another thing to personally participate in it with his own head.

And it happened suddenly, even if you really want to, you are completely unprepared.

Deciding to rebel requires psychological construction and preparation time.

The leader of the Japanese invaders knew that it would not work if they discussed it well, so he ordered two people to imprison Kong Yanjin's hands, and then waved the Japanese knife and slashed him on the thigh, and immediately heard the sound of killing pigs.

The leader shouted angrily: "Don't call, it's just a small mouth, just a lesson for you." If you refuse to write again, do you know what Ling Chi does it mean?

Although I don't have Ling Chi's skills, I can still do it if I cut a few hundred knives and let you slowly die of pain. ”

Poor Kong Yanjin, who has been pampered for most of his life, is now so frightened that his legs are hot and he is paralyzed to the ground.

The boss swings his knife, ready to continue cutting.

Kong Yanjin burst into tears: "Don't cut, don't cut, stop the strong man, I'll write, I'll write." ”

"Isn't this right, come on, come on, Fuyan Holy Father sit down, pen and ink waiting."

Kong Yanjin was helped to the bookcase, and the leader first found Kong Yanjin's handwriting from the pile of old papers, and then said with a smile while laying out paper and grinding ink:

"You write well, don't fool me. I will refer to your previous articles and letters, if you deliberately write blindly and the handwriting does not match, you know the consequences. ”

Kong Yanjin promised again and again: "Don't dare, don't dare, never dare to fool." ”

Kong Yanjin first wrote it in a trembling voice, the leader shook his head, and asked Kong Yanjin to stabilize his mind and recopy what he had just written.

It wasn't until the third time that the leader took the letter and nodded: "That's right, the handwriting is clear and smooth, and others can't see that they are being persecuted."

Oh, the word Yan Shenggong is written vigorously, majessarily, and quite stylishly! ”
