Chapter 184: Descendants of the Saints
Seeing his brother's look of great interest, Shi Jin was frightened, and hurriedly stepped forward to grab Ghost Li and dissuaded:
"Brother, don't make a decision!"
"We have killed a lot of scholars before, and we have already provoked the anger of Shilin."
"Now, if you provoke the Yansheng Mansion again, I'm afraid that those scholars who are barely suppressed will cause chaos!"
Ghost Li laughed after hearing this.
"Da Lang, you think too highly of the discipline of those scholars!"
"Whoever dares to blow up the thorn will kill him."
"If half of the scholars would rather die than give in, they would be blind in these eyes!"
Shi Jin was even more panicked when he heard this, and complained repeatedly.
"Brother!"
"You don't really plan to kill half of the soldiers, do you?"
"Then the remaining half doesn't dare to say anything, and they must have found a chance to sneak away!"
Li Ghost smiled coldly.
"A group of sour talents who are not diligent and do not distinguish between grains and grains, and they can't even ride a horse, how far can they run?"
He reached out and patted Shi Jin's shoulder, and said meaningfully:
"Da Lang, smart people are very knowledgeable about current affairs!"
"When the disciplined ones die, all that is left is soft bones."
"If they refuse to submit, it must be because you have killed too few people."
After Ghost Li finished speaking, he strode out.
Shi Jin couldn't stop pulling him, chased him out from behind, and saw him go out and turn over his horse and go in the direction of Yanzhou, so anxious that he stomped his feet.
He is now ordered to garrison this place, and he must not wander around, otherwise if he loses the city, the retreat of his brothers in front of him will be cut off.
After Shi Jin hesitated, he returned to the Yamen, took a pen and paper, and wrote a letter to the rest of his brothers, explaining the matter and asking them to find a way to persuade Brother Li to prevent a big mistake.
Watching the flying pigeon spread its wings and go away, Shi Jin sighed and continued to bury his head in tedious official duties.
As long as he looks at this endless stream of official duties, Shi Jin knows very well that in this world, there is no shortage of scholars.
However, it was said that Ghost Li left the Guangji Army and returned to Liangshan directly, and Niu Wenzhong and others waited here for him to come back and make decisions.
Seeing Ghost Li come back, Wang Jin, who was sitting here, first reported the situation in Liangshan.
Now the war ahead is going well.
Yunzhou, Jeju, Puzhou, Shanzhou, Guangjijun, Xuzhou, Huaiyang, Yizhou, and Qingzhou have all fallen into the hands of the Liangshan army.
With such a momentum, it naturally attracted countless heroes to vote.
Including Lu Fang, Guo Sheng, Shan Shiqi, Dong Cheng, Sheng Ben, Fang Shun, Shen An, Kou Fu, Shi Ding, Wu Cheng and dozens of other heroes, so that the military strength of this Liangshan can be replenished.
Otherwise, the ordinary soldiers are easy to expand, and there are not so many guards to guard the places.
If it weren't for the fact that it was too time-consuming to rush and prepare military funds, I was afraid that Liangshan's territory would expand several times at this time.
But even so, most of the entire Jingxi Road has been returned to Liangshan.
The heroes of Liangshan all knew the style of Li Gui, and in order to stabilize their own territory, they tried their best to uproot the local gentry and heroes, recruit displaced people, and distribute the land everywhere they went.
It's just that these things are easier said than done.
Not to mention the resistance of the local tyrants, the implementation of the policy requires special manpower to implement it, so the progress is very slow.
It's no problem for Liang Shan to fight with these heroes who came to vote, but dealing with government affairs is really a big head, and you have to rely on those scholars.
In addition, these reckless heroes are born in awe of the literati, so when they heard that Brother Li Gui was going to attack Confucius, they panicked.
Anyway, the rear states have already been occupied, and the local officials and military forces are dead, and there is no longer much threat, so many people simply left people to sit in the town, and their own families left their armies behind and hurried back to dissuade Li Gui.
"Brother, this is not a trick!"
"The saint edifies all the peoples, and his descendants can not be moved!"
Ghost Li snorted coldly and said disdainfully:
"A saint is a saint, and his descendants are his descendants."
"The gentleman's Ze, three generations and beheaded!"
"How many generations has the Confucian family been passed down now?"
"There must have been forty or fifty generations, right?"
"In the past thousand years, under the ground of Qufu, I don't know how many souls are the sins of the Kong family."
"His family has enjoyed the blessings of many generations, and now is the time for retribution!"
Seeing that Li Ghost insisted on going his own way, the most anxious people were Pei Xuan and other heroes who had read books.
"Brother, this Yan Shenggong is a model for the world, how can there have been so many dirty things, brother don't talk nonsense."
"The land of the Confucian family was given to the Confucian family by the emperors of all dynasties, and there are also normal trading incomes, but they are not taking advantage of the people, and they should not be confused with ordinary gentry and power."
Li Gui smiled and didn't get angry.
"A certain family doesn't talk to you."
"You worship the Kong family as an idol, and you don't believe what you say, so let the facts educate you."
After he finished speaking, he called that Niu Wenzhong over and asked him to tell everyone what he had seen and heard in person.
Although Niu Wenzhong is messing around in the green forest, he is also literate, and he knows how this literati is not envious, jealous and hateful, and he knows more clearly what the Confucian Mansion is like for scholars.
If he hadn't personally led his troops to Qufu, I am afraid that the descendants of this Confucian saint would also be worshipped.
He looked around with a bitter face, and when he saw everyone's blazing eyes, he only screamed bitterly.
"Brother, why are you bothering me?"
"What do you want me to say?"
Ghost Li laughed unscrupulously there.
"Everyone is our own brother, why can't we say it?"
"Even if you say it boldly, they don't believe it at best, so how can they beat you?"
Everyone also urged them, not believing that the descendants of the saints would do anything to ruin the reputation of their ancestors.
Niu Wenzhong took a deep breath, and then said lightly:
"As long as there are people in this Great Song Dynasty who can't survive, they can go to join the army, stay in the army, and always have a bite to eat."
"Naqufu...... There were many forbidden troops in Naqufu. ”
Then the impatient man cried out.
"What is this?"
"If you have something to say, this is not refreshing!"
Niu Wenzhong had no choice but to sigh and say truthfully:
"Almost half of the land in Qufu belongs to the Kong family, and all the people are tenants of the Kong family."
"I work hard every year, but I can only make a living, and the rest of the grain is all from the Kong family."
"In Naqufu, there are mountain patrol households that patrol the mountains for the Confucian family, pig households that raise pigs for the Confucian family, happy households that provide wedding and funeral rites for the Confucian family, flat burden households that carry tables and chairs and other utensils for the Confucian family, grass mowers who cut weeds in the garden for the Confucian family, and what other thorn carbon households, paste households, wine households, vegetable households, broom households, cannon households, walnut households, apricot households, pear households, and ......"
"Let's put it this way, there are almost no free people in Qufu today, and all of them are slaves of the Kong family!"
"In Qufu, the Kong family is the sky, or in other words, only the Kong family is a human being, and the rest of the people are livestock."
"If someone commits something, whether it is stealing, robbing, or murder, whether or not to be sentenced and how to sentence is up to the Confucian family."
"Not to mention the county, it is the governor of Yanzhou, you have to look at the face of the Kong family, anyone who dares to report the Kong family will be sent back to the Kong family to deal with it by themselves."
"And there are many descendants of the Confucian family, but only one of the descendants really enjoys wealth and nobility, and all the descendants of the collateral family are living in misery, most of the land is deprived, and they are reduced to tenant long-term laborers, and even slaves and maidservants are very heavy."
"However, the Confucian government said that the men of the Confucian family are not slaves, and the women are not maids, and ordered the branch to change their surnames."
"They are also descendants of saints, but they can't even keep their surnames, and I don't know how many descendants of the Kong family hate the lineage of Nayan Shenggong."
"The younger brother entered Yanzhou, and he didn't dare to provoke the Kong family, so he only acted for the heavens in other counties."
"Who knew that after the younger brother tried the crimes of the gentry and the powerful and the name of the landless and landless poor spread, there were descendants of the side branches of the Kong family who took the initiative to come to the door and said many Confucian crimes, just seeking justice."
After Niu Wenzhong finished speaking, he asked people to bring in a large box of signed confessions and swing them into the righteous hall for everyone to see.
