Just as Dorgon's right-hand Qing army attacked Gaoyang, Yuetuo's left-hand Qing army headed straight to Shandong.

The Ming army thought Yuetuo was going to attack Dezhou, and more than 100,000 Ming troops led by Liu Zeqing gathered in Dezhou. Who knew that Yuetuo bypassed Dezhou and headed straight to the hinterland of Shandong.

According to the Qing army's combat plan, Yuetuo's partial army with less than 30,000 people would rob Shandong in a swagger, then head straight to Jinan, first surrounded Jinan, and then wait for Dorgon's army to arrive, and break through Jinan City in one fell swoop.

The Qing army came from Dongchang and Linqing to bypass Dezhou, where the Ming army gathered heavily, and appeared near Dongchang and Jinan Prefecture.

Some small counties were easily captured by Yuetuo's army, and even Dongchang Prefecture was captured by the Qing army. Yuetuo plundered countless people, animals, food and property. He ordered the plundered population and property to be temporarily placed in Dongchang, and the Qing army continued to attack in the direction of Jinan.

Yue Tuo was not in a hurry to encircle Jinan, but was preparing to rob him around Jinan. Anyway, the Ming army did not dare to go out of the city to fight in the field, but only dared to defend the city. Because of the wrong information, the main force of the Ming army gathered in Dezhou. As long as the Qing army did not touch Dezhou, the Ming army would not dare to go out of the city to fight in the field, and could only watch the Qing army rampant in Shandong.

"Prince, all the troops have come out to do things, and the servants are willing to lead their troops to seize property for the prince. Our Tumote children have already been full of anger and hope that this time we can make great contributions to the Qing Dynasty." Li Hong walked into the central army's tent and volunteered to fight to Yue Tuoying.

Yue Tuo nodded with a smile: "Subud Khan, it would be great if you are willing to serve the Qing Dynasty. Since the people of Korqin have gone to make a fortune, I can't argue with you, so go. Remember not to attack the city guarded by Nikan and choose the county town that is well-behaved. If you have the chance, you can capture the city. If you don't have the chance, you can plunder the undefensive villages as much as possible."

"Zhe!" Li Hong called out, "Please rest assured, the servant will definitely bring the men back intact."

"Then you go." Yue Tuo said softly. Before he finished speaking, Yue Tuo suddenly coughed. He was weak, and this time he felt like he was sick.

"Prince, what's wrong with you?" Li Hong screamed in surprise, trying to step forward to support Yue Tuo.

"Subud Khan, don't worry, I'm fine, just have a sleep."

After Li Hong said goodbye to Yue, he clicked on the three thousand Tumot Mongolian cavalry in his headquarters. In addition to the real Mongols, there were more than a thousand Han people, including more than a hundred Han agents inserted by Li Guodong. What Li Hong wanted to do this time was to go to Qufu, break through Qufu, and take over Yan Shenggong's mansion. Doing this thing can not only rob property, eliminate Yan Shenggong's cancer, but also make the gentry all over the world hate the Qing Dynasty from now on. Of course, Li Hong could not think of such a brilliant plan, and it was Li Guodong's idea.

"Brother Manzhu Xili, you can work with me too. Since we have come to the Ming Dynasty and don't make any money back, wouldn't we have a trip without a single hand?" Since we are going to fight against Yan Shenggong Mansion, Li Hong considered that he needed to take the blame, otherwise he would not be able to explain to Huang Taiji after returning to Liaodong.

Manzhu Xili agreed happily: "Okay! I am willing to bring three thousand people to work with you Tumot Khan!"

Afterwards, Li Hong and Man Zhu Xili took 6,000 Mongolian cavalry and headed straight for Yanzhou territory.

Li Hong naturally couldn't do such a thing as digging Confucius' tomb, but he snatched all the Yansheng Gong Mansion, killed all the men in the mansion, and finally burned the Yansheng Gong Mansion with fire. Such a thing was enough to arouse the anger of scholars all over the world.

As for killing Yan Shenggong and burning Yan Shenggong Mansion, there will naturally be a Ming army coming and driving Li Hong and his Mongolian cavalry. Next, the Ming army will take away all the land deeds of Yan Shenggong Mansion. Anyway, Yan Shenggong Mansion was destroyed by the Qing army, and those land and shops will become homeless lands and ownerless industries. Li Guodong took the opportunity to accept them all. Of course, Li Guodong would also ask Li Hong to take away some gold, silver, treasures and animals to gain Yuetuo's trust.

Qufu City was destroyed by bandits during the Zhengde period. Later, in order to protect the Confucius Mansion, Emperor Zhengde Zhu Houzhao ordered the Shandong Governor to rebuild a new city with the Confucius Temple as the center in the southwest corner of the ancient city of Qufu. The project to rebuild Qufu City was very large. After two emperors, it took ten years to build it for 36,000 taels of silver. The city was about ten miles in a circumference, more than two feet high and more than one foot thick. There were five gates in the city, and each gate had a urn city. There were moats outside the city, which were more than one foot deep.

The newly built Qufu City is the right size and has five urns to rely on, so it does not require too much force to guard it. The city wall is made of rammed earth and bricks, which is very strong. Moreover, the city wall and the moat are about three meters apart, leaving room for further reinforcement. In addition to having an unattainable status and the city of Qufu, Yan Shenggong's wealth is not inferior to any vassal king. The Confucius Temple alone has hundreds of thousands of acres of sacrifice fields!

Since the Yuan Dynasty, the magistrate of Qufu County has been served by the Kong family for generations. Qufu County has actually become the fief of Yan Shenggong!

Moreover, over the past two hundred years, the Yanshenggong family has used their own privileges to annex or shelter millions of acres of land through embezzlement and incitement. The Kong family farms are spread throughout the prefectures and garrisons in Shandong and even the fields of the Kongfu, and all the way to Laideng in Jiaodong! Don’t forget that Qufu is in western Shandong! Yanshenggong’s hand can actually reach Laideng! Therefore, Yanshenggong is the leading landlord in Shandong and even the Ming Dynasty.

Although Yan Shenggong got countless benefits from the Ming Dynasty court, their family never thought of repaying the Ming Dynasty. Because of Confucius' golden signboard, whoever seized the world would have to use this signboard. Moreover, Yan Shenggong was very aware of the current affairs. Since the Song Dynasty, they surrendered to the Jin Dynasty and the Mongol Yuan, and then to the Ming Dynasty. In real history, they surrendered to Dashun and then to the Qing Dynasty.

Originally, the Qing army invaded Shandong and did not want to go to Qufu to find trouble for Yan Shenggong, who was rich and rich, because Huang Taiji was very considerate. Considering that the Qing Dynasty would enter the Central Plains in the future, it would need to be supported by the gentry all over the world. If it moved Yan Shenggong's Mansion, it would arouse the anger of scholars all over the world, and it would be difficult to steal the Central Plains in the future.

If you want to eliminate the cancer of Yan Shenggong and cause trouble for the Qing Dynasty to enter the pass in the future, you must first break through Qufu City. However, Qufu City, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, can't be captured with Li Hong's 5,000 Mongolian cavalry.

In Qufu City, Zhang Shuheng, who was disguised as an ordinary person, was taking five personal guard agents to have dinner in a restaurant in the city. More than a hundred personal guard agents had already been involved in the city one after another. When Li Hong's Tumot Mongolian cavalry arrived, Zhang Shuheng and others would respond in the city, kill the defenders at the city gate, and put the Mongolians into the city.

Although it was a bit incredible to open the city for the Qing army, the agents of the personal guards were Li Guodong's most loyal subordinates. They were only loyal to Wang Quan and Li Guodong. Even if they were asked to pick up a knife and go to the palace to kill the emperor, they would do it without hesitation. Therefore, although they did not understand the matter of helping the Qing army to break through Qufu, they still strictly enforce the orders.

As for Li Hong's death, it's almost time for Yue Tuo to destroy the Yansheng Gong Mansion. By then, Yue Tuo died at the city of Jinan, and there was no evidence of this matter, and Huang Taiji would not be able to deal with him, Tumote Khan.

Li Hong and Man Zhu Xili led 6,000 Mongolian cavalry, one man and two horses, traveled nearly 200 miles a day, and arrived in Yanzhou.

Who knew that Yanzhou was prepared for a long time. Looking at the heavily guarded city, Li Hong said to Manzhu: "Yanzhou is difficult to break through. Our army lacks weapons to attack the city. It's better not to attack Yanzhou. We might as well go to the next city to take a look."

"Where are we going?" asked Manzhu Xili.

"Sir Taiji, who is the richest person on Shandong territory?" Li Hong asked knowingly.
