Among the red figures, the man in front was tall and riding on a battle horse, as if he was a piece of iron tower. He was carrying a big sword of dozens of kilograms, as if nothing was light.

"Sir General. The ten miles ahead is Zou County." A personal soldier pointed forward.

Ten miles away is not far. You can see the outline of Zou County when you ride on the horse. When you hear the words of your personal soldiers, the general who is like an iron tower pointed forward with a big knife in his hand and said loudly: "Transfer the order from our headquarters and accelerate forward. After half an hour, everyone will rest in the city."

This iron tower-like general is Yin Hongsheng, a powerful general under Huang's Gong. This time Huang Gong appointed Yin Hongsheng as the vanguard. He was intending to part with Yulin Wei. Yulin Wei used the best weapon, three times the military pay of ordinary soldiers. If the number of people is small, everyone will not pay attention. It is just that when the number of people expands to 100,000, it will naturally become jealous of other soldiers of the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, this kind of jealousy will not cause the morale to shake. The army itself is very strict. In the past, the Fang Guards of the Ming border soldiers and Beijing were different from each other's military pay. The highest military pay was naturally the border troops. Because they were all elites of the Ming Dynasty and had to fight at all times. The second was the Jing camp, and then the Fang Guards of the next.

But in the past, even the border soldiers often owed wages. Now there is basically no problem of owing wages. Moreover, the food has improved significantly compared to before. Without the comparison of the military salary of the Yulin Guard, everyone will be very satisfied. With comparison, it is inevitable to be competitive. Even Huang Gong, Yin Hongsheng and others cannot avoid the common sense. Why can Yulin Guard have 60 taels of military salary a year? And the rest are only 20 taels.

The Yulin Guard was established by the emperor. It can be said to be the direct line among the direct line. The other officers and soldiers naturally cannot compare with it. If you want to get the same salary as the Yulin Guard, you must at least prove that you are stronger than the Yulin Guard. If you can fight, you will be promoted and made a fortune.

Half an hour, if it was an infantry, it was basically time to rush. Hong Sheng's subordinates had war horses. But there were twenty artillery in the army, which dragged down the speed of the army. The marching speed was almost the same as that of the infantry. Yin Hongsheng's order did not consider whether the Qing army in Zou County would resist. Even if it could resist, what if it could. A small county town could not wait for the artillery to arrive. The cannons would be bombed. Unless the Qing army's head was broken and they had to die, they would not surrender.

As soon as Yin Hongsheng's order was passed, the Ming army was moving forward, and the advancement was immediately divided into two teams. One team temporarily protected the artillery and slowly marched forward. The other team urged the horses to trot. The sound of hooves rumbling and a huge dust smoke ran straight for Zou.

The distance of ten miles was only a cup of tea for the cavalry. When Yin Hongsheng led the vanguard cavalry to the bottom of the city wall of Zou County, the city gate was closed. There was no one on the city wall. The entire county town was silent. Only dozens of shirts stood at the gate of the city, all of whom were without iron. Only the four people in front seemed to be holding two huge plaques.

The situation in front of him was too strange. All the Ming army held their horses and looked at each other. This situation made the Ming army puzzled. The county towns ahead had opened the city gates to greet them when the Ming army arrived. Or they closed the city gates and stood on the Qing army to strictly prevent death. This situation is rare. If Zoucheng was preparing to surrender, the city gate was closed tightly. It was not like surrendering at all. If the other party wanted to resist stubbornly, there was no one on the city wall. Could it be that the dozens of unarmed people standing outside the city blocked several cavalry and said that it would make people laugh.

"Cai Dezhong, go and see what happened?" Yin Sheng said.

"The last general obeys the order." A general next to Yin Hongsheng responded that his legs were gently on the horse's belly. The horse under his climax shouted and spread his four hooves and ran towards the city gate. The entire Ming army was quiet. Everyone looked at Cai Dezhong.

Cai Dezhong rode his horse and soon arrived in front of the group of people. He saw dozens of people wearing long gowns, including old and young. One of them held their heads and chests up. The Buddha was doing something big. The four people holding the plaque in front looked proud. Seeing Cai Dezhong's arrival, some people's eyes shrank, and more people straightened their chests.

Cai Dezhong was puzzled. He pointed forward with his hand and said, "Who is the master here?"

"The bold warrior. He still won't get off his horse after seeing the tablets of the Supreme Saint and the Assassin."

"Yes. Dismount."

A group of people started to clamor and were not afraid of the weapons in Cai Dezhong's hand. Cai Dezhong pointed for no reason. The four young men carried two tablets and asked, "What is Zi Sheng? Why should I go down?"

As soon as Cai Dezhong said it, dozens of people were in an uproar. This warrior dared to say what the two masters, the Supreme Saint and the Assassin, were.

“Bold.”

"presumptuous."

"It's simply lawless."

...

A group of people spitted at Cai Dezhong's mouth and started to squirt loudly, as if Cai Dezhong had done something unforgivable. Cai Dezhong became angry when he heard it.

I know what the most saint is and what the sub-saint is. I didn’t expect that I only asked one question and criticized so many people.

"Call the time." Cai Dezhong pointed out the old man who spoke the most vigorously and shouted: "Shut up. Everyone is unfaithful to join the foreign race. The emperor is merciful. I promise you that mystery... what is the mystery? You still don't open the door to surrender. What's more?"

Cai Dezhong's words were just talking about the shortcomings of some people. One of them was silent. After a long time, one shouted angrily: "The vulgar martial artist. You have heard it clearly. The Supreme Sage and the Sub-Sage are both Confucian saints. They are still the teachers of all scholars in the world. If they are rude to the Supreme Sage, the Sage, they are rude to all scholars in the world. This is the hometown of the two saints. The place where the emperor enthroned them. All soldiers and horses do not step into the city."

It turns out that Zou County is different from ordinary county towns. Mencius, known as the sub-saint, was born here. The Confucius Temple is built in the city and is listed with the Meng Temple. Therefore, a double holy monument is built in the county. Such a county with a thousand-year heritage is born by Zi. It is naturally also a humanistic person in the era. The county has a wealthy family and a wealthy family.

However, in the early Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang was dissatisfied with the remarks in Mencius's book about "The people are the country and the king is the least." He not only reduced the content of the taboos in Mencius's book. This did not count. He also destroyed the mountain academy of Nishan, which was established in Zou County since the Northern Song Dynasty, and invited Mencius' tablets out of the Confucius Temple.

However, in the Ming Dynasty, Mencius was taken seriously by the court and not only invited Mencius back to the Confucius Temple, but also appointed Mencius' direct descendants as the second year of Jingtai in the Ming Dynasty. The court issued an edict to grant Mencius' 56th-generation direct descendants Meng Xiwen as a doctor of the Five Classics of the Hanlin Academy. He was the main sacrificial service. Since then, this position has been inherited by Mencius' descendants.

In the second year of Tianqi, Meng Chengguang, the 601st grandson of Mencius, was hereditary doctor of the Five Classics of Hanlin Academy, was killed by the peasant uprising army. It should have been that Meng Hongluo, the 61st grandson of Mencius, should have inherited hereditary position. However, Meng Hongluo died of illness that year. Only his brother Meng Hong--sheired hereditary position; in the second year of Chongzhen, Meng Wenyu, his son of Meng Hongluo, became older. Meng Yu gave the inheritance position to him. He was changed from the court to the Qianhu of the Hereditary Elementary Uniform Guard. However, his family got two hereditary positions. Meng Hongyu, the man who angrily shouted Cai Dezhong.

Mencius was named the second-ranked figure after Confucius. He governed the country with Confucianism in all dynasties. However, Mencius's thoughts and remarks touched the interests of the rulers, which were far less popular than those of Confucius. The position of the descendants of Mencius is naturally full of the glory of Confucius. Throughout the ages, Qu Magistrates were all led by the Kong family|. The entire Qu County was like the Kong family. It was truly inherited for thousands of years.

The descendants of the Meng family were appointed as officials only since the Ming Dynasty. It was only a few years before now. Although the position of the Meng family was favored by Zou County, the people of Zou County still had to pay taxes to the court but not to pay taxes to the Meng family. The magistrate of Zou County was selected by the court but not the Meng family. The neighboring Qu in Zou County was the Meng family. In his dream, the Meng family wanted to take the position of the Kong family in Zou County, which was like the Kong family in Qu.

After hearing the rush of tens of thousands of Ming troops, the county magistrate enthroned by the Qing court of Zou County had actually escaped. It was the Meng family who took over Zou's power. The Meng family felt that the opportunity had come. If this time, the army could be blocked into the city with the tablets of the Supreme Saint and the Sub-Sage. Then the position of the Meng family would be determined in the future. The position of the Kong family would be the same as that of the Kong family in Qu. This is why the current scene came.

But I didn't know that the person came, but it seemed that I didn't even know who the Supreme Saint and Master Secret was. Meng Hongyu was very depressed. He just thought about the benefits. Meng Hongyu refused to retreat. He just bit the bullet and scolded him angrily.

Cai Dezhong touched his head in confusion. Is he crazy or the people in front of him crazy? With two tablets, dozens of unarmed people wanted to stop the army from entering the city.

If the person on the opposite side had weapons in his hand, Cai Dezhong would rush in and slash without hesitation. He was just facing some people who were obviously powerless to resist. Cai Dezhong didn't know what to do. It would be left to the general to deal with it. Dezhong thought about it and only pied his horse back.

"What's going on?" Yin Hongsheng asked quickly when he saw Cai Dezhong coming back. He just saw Cai Dezhong gesture and intimidate again. The people on the other side did not give in. Cai Dezhong is a brave general under his command. Even if he deals with dozens of people holding weapons, he can win. Unexpectedly, he seemed to be forced back by these people.

"Sir General. It's this..." Cai Dezhong said the negotiations just now.

Yin Hongsheng barely knew about literacy. He naturally knew that Confucius and Mencius hurriedly shouted to Cai Dezhong: "What kind of son, the sage, the sage, the sage, and the sage, the sage, the sage, and the sage." But Cai Dezhong, Yin Hongsheng, had a headache. He would not deal with such a situation.
