Chapter 241 Kong Yinzhi's Evidence
Gao Shixin walked out of Qufu County with a bag on his back. Not long after he walked out of Tingen Gate, he saw a team of officers and soldiers coming towards him.
"The civilian dressed up, carrying a bow and arrow, a knife, and a bag on his back. He must be a thief! Take it down!" The leading officer yelled at Gao Shixin.
Several soldiers surrounded him, and Gao Shixin showed off his jade plaque: "Bold! I am Gao Shixin, the commander of the Jinyiwei, and I am!"
When the soldiers were stunned when they saw the jade waist sign with the three big words "Encyclopedia Guard" written on it, they were stunned for a while, and a group of soldiers knelt on one knee: "I am a member of the senior officer!"
The officer was startled when he saw the soldiers kneeling down and hurried forward. Although he did not recognize the young man in front of him, he held the jade plaque of the Jinyiwei and was carrying an embroidered spring knife around his waist. He had to get off the horse and knelt on one knee to salute Gao Shixin: "I don't know that he is Gao Junshi, forgive me!"
On the official road to the north, a team of Jinyiwei cavalry came over, and the man in charge was Huang Degong.
Huang Degong galloped over to the horse. When he was about to reach Gao Shixin, he dismounted in advance, ran to Gao Shixin, and knelt on one knee and saluted: "Sir, it's too late in the future! It's a matter of being caught in the hands of the thief, and he deserves to die!"
"What are you guilty? Yan Shenggong has surrendered the thief!" Gao Shixin said, then took off the package on his back and put it on the ground to open it. He saw a deputy official seal and an imperial edict inside. He pointed to the official seal and imperial edict and said, "This is the fake imperial edict given to Yan Shenggong by a demon thief who was found in Yan Shenggong's mansion. This imperial edict is Xu Hongru's false imperial edict!"
Everyone was in an uproar. The dignified Duke Yan Sheng actually accepted Xu Hongru's fake seal and fake imperial edict. What is this crime?
"What? Yan Shenggong accepted the enthronement of the demon thief? He also offered a letter of persuasion to the thief leader Xu Hongru?" The officer was stunned. It was okay to accept the enthronement of the thief, but he had to bow his head under the threat of a knife. Now it was not the county town occupied by Tang Sai'er at that time. Regardless of whether the county magistrate surrendered or fled, they would be executed. Yan Shenggong is a special person. Even if he surrendered to the thief, he surrendered under the threat of a knife, and the court could not punish him. However, if he submitted to the thief, he would not punish him. However, if he submitted to the thief, he would not be able to punish him.
"Zhao Futai is here!" A famous song came from behind.
Shandong Governor Zhao Yan arrived. As soon as he arrived at Qufu City, he heard the Yansheng referendum to the thief, and wrote a letter to the thief leader Xu Hongru, sang the horrifying news of Xu Hongru's praise of his merits.
"It's embarrassing! It's so gentle and ruined the floor!" Zhao Yan said with a heartache.
But he said this, but Zhao Yan did not want the evidence obtained by Gao Shixin to be sent to the capital. After all, Yan Sheng Gong was the face of civil officials in the world. Yan Sheng referendum and even wrote "The Commentary on Advocate" to the thief. What would happen if something like this is spread? The Kong family Beizong was completely finished, and some people with ulterior motives said that the world's scholars have no backbone.
Who said that scholars in the world have no backbone? When the scoundrels of the dynasty were not all scholars, weren’t Lu Xiufu and Wen Tianxiang all scholars? At the Battle of Yashan, many scholars chose to commit suicide by jumping into the sea and did not surrender to the Mongolian Yuan.
Let’s talk about Yu Qian of this dynasty, who wrote the eternal quatrain “I’m not afraid of being broken, but I must keep my innocence in the world.”, which is not inferior to Wen Tianxiang’s poem “Crossing the Zero Dingyang”.
Yansheng surrendered to the enemy and wrote the "Comment on Advocacy" for Xu Hongru, so that the Kong family's Northern Sect would be over. Although the Kong family's Southern Sect could replace Yansheng, the southerners in the court are now too strong. Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, southern scholars have always accounted for the majority of the court, because there are far more southerners who pass the imperial examination than northerners. There is no way, southerners can study.
If the Kong Northern Sect was abolished and the Southern Sect became Yan Shenggong, wouldn’t the scholars in the south be even more arrogant?
But Zhao Yan couldn't control the Jinyiwei. Now the evidence is in the hands of the Jinyiwei. Can he still forcibly snatch evidence from the Jinyiwei? Even a high-ranking official like the governor and the governor, forcibly snatching the Jinyiwei's things can be regarded as attacking the emperor's personal army, which would be like rebellion, which would be a serious crime to kill the nine clans.
When Zhao Yan heard that Yan Shenggong had instructed his servants to attack the Jinyiwei, he was so scared that his face turned pale.
This is called, the evidence is conclusive, and even if you jump into the Yellow River, you can't wash it.
Gao Shixin was determined to get rid of Yan Shenggong and his land. The physical evidence had already been sent to the capital for 800 miles. It was more than 1,000 miles from Qufu to Beijing. It was an average of 800 miles for a horse that could be exchanged every ten miles. I sent it away today and I could arrive at the capital at noon tomorrow! The morning morning after tomorrow, the court began to discuss this matter.
At present, the Donglin Party in the DPRK is still in control. Although Ye Xianggao was driven away, the new cabinet chief has not yet been decided. Most of the second cabinet assistants are the Donglin Party, and most of the ministers in the DPRK are also the Donglin Party.
The Kong Northern Sect was abolished and the Southern Sect replaced Yan Shenggong. Such things meant that the Donglin Party, the Jiangnan Gentleman Group, liked the most, and even the Confucian Temple was moved to the south.
Gao Shixin left Zhao Yan and the local army in Shandong, and took Man Gui and others to fight against the bandits with his Liaoyang New Army, as well as the borrowed Qi family army and Bai Gan soldiers.
The Liaoyang New Army, Qi Family Army and Baigan soldiers had just arrived in Yuncheng, and the bandit army was attacking Yuncheng.
The bandit army had more than 100,000, while Gao Shixin brought only 2,500 new Liaoyang army, 1,000 Qi family army and Baigang soldiers each. Zhang Yong, who went south to reinforce, brought 500 elite factory guards, with only 6,000 cavalrymen, of which there were only 500 cavalrymen. Zhang Yong's five hundred factory guards were considered dragon cavalrymen.
There are only six thousand people, and they are going to attack more than 100,000 thieves. Huang Degong asked: "Are we waiting for the arrival of the local army in Shandong and then launching an attack on the thieves?"
Gao Shixin said: "There is no need. When they come, they can only increase their losses for no reason! Most of the demon thieves are ordinary people who have been deceived and have not committed any heinous crimes. They are all Chinese people, so there is no need to kill more people. However, those guards can even kill good people, let alone leave a prisoner to their lives! When they come, they can only use the heads of the people for no reason to be credited! Or we will do our best to defeat the thief in one go!"
Gao Shixin began to arrange troops. He asked Man Gui to lead 500 cavalry to harass Xu Hongru's rebels. Zhang Yong's dragon cavalry followed Man Gui, dismounted on the roadside, and ambushed on the roadside just waiting for the thieves to be attracted by Man Gui and others, and then ambushed halfway.
Man Gui led 500 cavalry to kill the bandits behind the bandits.
The thieves were attacking Yuncheng, and a cavalry appeared behind them.
When the officers and soldiers attacked behind him were discovered, the bandits immediately formed a formation, holding simple wooden spears and bamboo spears arranged in an uneven formation. One by one, the wooden spears and bamboo spears pointed in the direction where the Ming cavalry rushed over.
Although it was a wooden spear and a bamboo spear, if the cavalry hit it, it would suffer heavy losses. Therefore, after the Ming cavalry rushed up from behind, they did not directly attack the bandit army formation. These Ming cavalry were actually light cavalry, and there were many Mongols in the team. When they were about to hit the bandit army formation, they suddenly took off their cavalry bows, turned their horses' heads, and ran along the front of the bandit army infantry. While the war horses were running, the cavalry on the horses shot round after round of arrows at the bandit army formation.
The bandit army lacked archers, so they could only watch the Ming cavalry shooting arrows twenty steps away from them. The overwhelming arrows pierced into the thief crowd. Most of these bandits were without any combat experience and without armor, and were shot into the formation by arrows. It can be said that arrows were as if they were flesh. A scream sounded in the crowd, and the bandits who were caught in the arrows all screamed and fell down.
In a blink of an eye, each cavalry had shot more than ten arrows, and at least more than two thousand people fell from the bandit army.
