Chapter 460 "Eight Banners Soldiers" storm Qufu (please subscribe!)
In order to save their lives and their family, everyone in the Confucius family kept discussing until dark.
In the end, they all felt that the Kong family should be safe, but Kong Yuqi's face was gloomy.
With anger in his heart, Kong Yuqi strode out of the door.
He never expected that he would be the one taking the blame.
At this moment, the door of the ancestral hall was pushed open with a creak.
A servant stumbled in, with sweat on his forehead and body. He looked terrified, as if he had been frightened.
"Holy... Holy Eunuch, the magistrate of Qufu County has an urgent call to visit!"
Generally speaking, the magistrate of Qufu County is basically held by a descendant of the Kong family, with a low status. Kong Yuqi frowned, what was he doing?
However, since it's something important, I'd better call him to see him.
The magistrate of Qufu was a short and fat man. When he came in, he knelt on the ground and said, "Master Shenggong, it's not good. There are thousands of Eight Banner rebels outside Qufu City. They have entered Qufu from Zouxian County in the south. Now they have
The city of Qufu is under siege, so let me open the city gates and dedicate them to the city."
Kong Yuqi immediately ordered that all Confucius temples, Confucius slaves, and family soldiers be commanded by direct descendants of the Confucius family and go to the tower to defend the city.
"yes!"
The three halls are all government offices, and the six halls that specifically help these government offices run their affairs are the six halls. It is said to be six halls, but in fact it is more like six departments. It is divided into six halls: Classics, Si Yue, Bai Hu, Guan Gou, Zhiyin, and Zhang Shu.
Completely form a small court.
In addition, there are more than 300 soldiers in the Confucius Temple nearby. Together with the descendants of the Confucius family, more than 1,500 people can be gathered to defend the city.
Fortunately, there are more than 800 servants in Duke Yansheng's mansion, and there are more than 500 servants in the mansion who can fight.
On the Guards side, under the order of Wang Xianwu, they also began to fire artillery.
In order to protect his family, Kong Yuqi led a group of servants and slaves to stand on the city wall and shouted loudly: "Let me shoot them with cannons! Kill one person and reward me with ten taels of silver!"
Moreover, he has now announced that he will surrender to the Ming Dynasty. Could it be that the Eight Banners soldiers are here to cause trouble for him?
"Why are you reporting now? Immediately organize the servants in the city and go to the city wall to prepare to resist. We must not let these rebels enter the city, let alone let these soldiers tarnish the saint's land of our Kong Mansion!"
Then, the infantry of the Guards immediately rushed over.
Some of the country warriors shouted in panic, while some of the country warriors who had never seen the big scene ran away.
The magistrate of Qufu nodded and crawled out of the door.
The second hall of Siyue is responsible for the rituals and music, and the second hall of Si Yue is responsible for the rituals and music. The Hall of Hundred Households is in charge of the guards of the forest temple. It has the Baihu Yamen, which directly manages the temple households, etc.
He also ordered people to quickly notify Fu Xin, the deputy general of Yanzhou Town who was in charge of Qufu city defense, and asked him to defend the city well.
In addition, there are forty deacons of the "Holy Temple" ranging from the third to the ninth rank, with hundreds of subordinates.
Kong Yuqi immediately shouted to the magistrate of Qufu.
Seeing this, Kong Yuqi shouted anxiously: "Come back! Come back to me!"
However, most of these numerous tenants are located outside Qufu, and water far away cannot save the fire nearby.
If it was really the Eight Banners Soldiers, they must have come to kill him!
The Kong family is now really disliked by both the Ming and Qing Dynasties!
There are three halls and six halls in the mansion, which serve as the specific management and service organizations of the Kong family.
Zhiyin, in charge of the second hall of books, is in charge of seals and documents.
It turned out that the so-called Eight Banners rebels who appeared in Qufu City were actually about 5,000 people from the Second Town of the Ming Guards led by Wang Xianwu. Except for not wearing Ming military uniforms and wearing a fake braid, their weapons and equipment had not changed at all.
However, these native cannons did little damage to the Guards, and basically caused few casualties.
Encouraged by the reward of silver, these servants really went wild.
Kong Yuqi looked gloomy. He had a bad feeling, as if something was wrong, but he couldn't remember it for a while.
When Kong Yuqi climbed to the top of the city, he discovered that the number of "Eight Banners rebels" outside Qufu City was really staggering. How about surrendering?
At this time, Kong Yuqi understood that if the "rebellious soldiers" outside were the Ming army, the Ming Emperor must be dissatisfied with his Kong family, and surrender would be a dead end.
Kong Yuxun rushed over with hundreds of servants, but at this time, the Guards had been waiting outside for a long time.
While giving the order, Kong Yuqi thought: No, Shandong is now the front line. The Ming army is pressing on the border. The Eight Banners soldiers should run north. They shouldn't come to trouble the Kong family. Do they know that the Kong family has huge wealth?
Could it be that the Eight Banners soldiers want to make money again?
Is it really possible that Kong Yuqi still doesn’t know what the Eight Banners soldiers look like?
The Guan Gou Office is responsible for collecting rented grain and rented money. It consists of Guan Gou Yamen and Tun Guan, General A, Xiao A, etc., forming a set of subordinate staff organizations.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
As the Ming Dynasty artillery fired loudly, the walls of Qufu City collapsed immediately.
Kong Yuqi felt a little more at ease when he thought of the soldiers in his Yanshenggong Mansion.
In order to prevent the Kong family from stubbornly resisting, the Second Guards Army brought ten rifled cannons.
"What?" Kong Yuqi panicked when he heard this. He was not afraid of officers and soldiers, but he was most afraid of rebels and bandits.
In addition to these personnel, the number of servants and tenants in the Confucius Mansion is extremely large, tens of thousands. The tenants and tenants of the Confucius Mansion are also organized according to the Baojia system and implement the Baojia system, forming a system of their own. How many people are there? Even Kong Yuqi
I can't even explain it myself.
Could this so-called Eight Banners Army be the Ming Army?
Before he had time to think about it, Kong Yuqi's sedan chair had already arrived at the main south gate of Qufu, where the largest number of rebels were gathered. Nearly one-third of the Kong family soldiers and the city's garrison were also concentrated here, while the rest of the city gates were all concentrated here.
It was defended by a small number of guards and servants of the Confucius Mansion.
Kong Yuqi was thinking in his mind, he finally realized something was wrong!
Suddenly, after Kong Yuqi finished shouting, he hurriedly called to his clan brother Kong Yuxun: "Brother Xian, take your servants at home to block the gap! Otherwise, if these rebels really enter the city, we will be doomed!"
Compared with the official government, his Duke Yansheng's mansion was actually more like a miniature kingdom.
"The wall has collapsed!"
He himself also led two hundred servants from the mansion and hurried to the city tower.
Seeing this, the commander of the Rocket Battalion of the Guards shouted: "Put the rocket up! As soon as these servants of the Kong family arrive, launch the rocket!"
"yes!"
As a result, black tornado rockets were erected. When the servants of the Kong family came out of the gap with firearms and bows and arrows, countless rockets suddenly shot out, turning the gap into a piece.
Sea of fire!
The servants of the Kong family were immediately swallowed up by the sea of fire, and even Kong Yuxun himself was covered in fire and screamed on the ground.
Kong Yuqi was confused when he saw this, and finally recognized the reality. With such powerful firearms, these people were definitely the Ming army!
After understanding the truth, he had to flee back to Kong Mansion in a hurry!
