Chapter 476 Two birds with one stone

When the fire broke out on the city gate tower, the Mongolian cavalry rushed to the city gate.

The suspension bridge was lowered, and not long after, the city gate was slowly opened.

"Kill!" Li Hong pulled out the scimitar and pointed forward.

"Kill!" Six thousand Mongolian cavalry rushed into Qufu City. Wherever the horse's hooves passed, the servants of Yanshenggong Mansion and the brave guarding people in the city fell into a pool of blood. The Mongolians used their bows and arrows to shoot and slash with scimitars, and they slashed with scimitars. The horses hit and the horse's hooves trampled, killing each street, causing blood to flow into a river.

"Master! Master!" Kong Yinzhi was awakened in his sleep.

"What's the matter? It's three o'clock in the middle of the night!" Kong Yinzhi sat up from the bed and rubbed his sleepy eyes.

"The big thing is wrong! Jiannu has entered the city!" The clerk reported.

"What? How did Jiannu enter the city?" Kong Yinzhi's face changed drastically.

The servant knelt on the ground and reported: "Master, there are spies in Jiannu in the city. They killed the defenders of the city gate, opened the city gate, and put Jiannu in the city."

Kong Yinzhi hurriedly said, "Get my official robe quickly. I want to leave the palace to surrender to the Qing Dynasty!"

At this time, Kong Yinzhi's tone of speaking changed. He was originally called Jiannu and Tartar, but now he changed his words to the Qing Dynasty. He also knew that the title of Yan Shenggong would definitely be gone in this surrender. Emperor Chongzhen would let Kong Zhenyun of the Southern Sect take over as Yan Shenggong, and his property would definitely be greatly lost. But compared to survival, what is the loss of some money? It is the worst to have money but not to spend it. At this time, it is the most important to survive. If you can't bear to leave that little money and still hold on to surrender, you will be chopped down with a knife, and the money will fall into the hands of others?

Mongolian cavalry came to the gate of Yanshenggong Mansion. Before Li Hong could order to attack the gate of Yanshenggong Mansion, he saw the vermilion red gate of Yanshenggong Mansion open. Yanshenggong Kong Yinzhi, surrounded by a group of people, walked out of the mansion. As soon as he walked to the gate of the mansion, he saw Kong Yinzhi kneeling on the ground and shouting: "We surrender!"

Li Hong sneered: "Yan Shenggong, you are just thinking about surrendering now. Is it too late?"

"Sir, please spare me, please spare me!" Kong Yinzhi knelt on the ground regardless of his image, kowtowing him repeatedly, and was simply disgraceful and discarding all the face of the Kong family.

Li Hong shook his hand disgustedly and said disdainfully: "Donald Yan Shenggong, if you were tough on us today, I would respect you as a man and would spare your life! But if you are like this today, don't you feel that you have lost all the face of your ancestors?"

"Sir, the villain has surrendered. You can't kill the surrendered officials!" Kong Yinzhi begged.

Seeing Kong Yinzhi's appearance, Li Hong thought to himself: If he didn't kill this person, he would surrender, and then he would have to shave money and shave his hair and leave his braid on the excuse of surrendering. Wouldn't that be the greatest humiliation for him? In that case, Yan Shenggong, who shaves his hair and has braids, would have been cut off by Emperor Chongzhen, and his farmland and property would have been confiscated. But Li Hong quickly put away this idea and shave his hair and keep his braids. Although doing this relieves his hatred, it would not make all scholars in the world hate the Qing Dynasty. Instead, they would be disgraced to Kong Yinzhi, and the Ming Dynasty could also support Kong Zhenyun as Yan Shenggong. What Li Hong had to do now is to strictly follow Li Guodong's requirements, kill Yan Shenggong, and let the gentry all over the world hate the Qing Dynasty.

"You're not going to be so useless, and you're going to behead you?" Man Zhu Xili said loudly, "The emperor likes those Han scholars! Humph! You're a scholar! This is a scholar! I really don't know what those scholars are good about? It's worth the emperor's attention! Fan Wencheng's Han dog barbarians who are studying have a higher status than us Mongolians!"

When Li Hong heard this, he was overjoyed. Wouldn't this be a sleepy pillow? Manzhu Xili hated scholars and wanted to kill Yan Shenggong, so he would let him kill him! When he returned to Liaodong, if Huang Taiji pursued this matter, the responsibility would be just over to Manzhu Xili.

"Oh? Then follow Taiji." Li Hong responded without comment.

"Come here!" Man Zhu Xili roared, "pull this man-man and kill him!"

"Zhe!" Two Korqin Meng Eight Banners soldiers stepped forward, dragging Kong Yinzhi outside like a dead dog, and raised their swords. Kong Yinzhi, the future loyal minister of the Qing Dynasty, was cut off his head by the Qing soldiers. From then on, there was no more Qing Dynasty Yan Shenggong in the world, leaving only the Ming Dynasty loyal and wise Yan Shenggong. This knife completely cut off the connection between the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty gentry, and successfully made the Ming Dynasty gentry hatred the Qing Dynasty from then on.

Manzhu Xili shouted: "My sons! We came to the Ming Dynasty to make a fortune! Follow me to rush in! Cut all the adult men in the mansion! Kill the old and weak women! Take the young women and children back! Snatch all the things in the mansion!"

"Great!" A group of Mongolian soldiers emitted a greedy green light in their eyes, and they rushed into the Yanshenggong Mansion shouted and rushed into the Yanshenggong Mansion. When they met an adult man, they all slashed with one knife. When they met an elderly woman, they also slashed with one knife. The young woman and the child were captured by them and taken out.

The Mongolians who rushed into Yansheng Gong's Mansion rummaged through boxes and cabinets. The large boxes filled with gold and silver were kicked over by Mongolian soldiers who were like wolves and tigers. The yellow and white things inside were rolled all over the ground. The Mongolians screamed excitedly, rushing to grab the property.

Man Zhu Xili looked at the boxes of gold, silver and treasures carried out by the Mongolian soldiers, and his eyes were straightened. He did not expect that the Yansheng Gong Mansion was so rich! Looking at the mountains of boxes, it was estimated that the silver he stolen was at least tens of millions of taels, right? There were countless gold, jewelry, antiques, famous paintings and other various treasures.

There are also some other property, such as land deeds, IOU, store contracts, etc., which are unavailable to take away by the Qing army.

Manzhu didn't understand these things, so she asked Li Hong to deal with the property that she could not take away.

Li Hong personally brought several agents of the personal guards to put away the land deeds, IOUs, store contracts, silver notes, etc. He asked him to put them away. When Zhang Shuheng and the others came over, he would hand them over to Zhang Shuheng and the others for processing.

Anyway, almost all the Yan Shenggong Mansion in Qufu were destroyed, and the remaining women and children would be taken to Liaodong as Baoyi Aha. The land under their names became a homeless land, and those shops would also become homeless shops. Those matters would be left to Li Guodong to handle. I believe that Li Guodong would turn those property into his own property, especially farmland. After Li Guodong obtained those land deeds, he would turn all the land into his own.

The Qing army of the Eight Banners of the Mongolian Banners who were practicing etiquette killed many people in the city, but most of the people killed were from Yansheng Gong's Mansion, and the rest were the servants and the strong men who helped defend the city. Not many people in the city were killed.

Originally, Manzhu Xili wanted to abduct all the people in Qufu City, but Li Hong said to him: "We don't need to take too many people away. We don't have enough staff, just take some of them away. Let the rest be left."

"Okay, we are all cavalrymen. If we take too many barbarians away, we may be inconvenient to move. Subud Khan, we will listen to everything." Man Zhu Xili, who almost seized Qufu without bloodshed, was in a good mood now, so he followed Li Hong's words.

"Khan, Taiji, the Youminggou army is here! About 10,000 people are coming!" At this moment, a scout came to report.

Li Hong knew that the Ming army that "come in time" was Wang Quan's army, with very few cavalry, basically all infantry, and many of them were untrained farmers. Wang Quan's army was just bluffing. So he said to Man Zhu: "Taiji, we have few people, so there is no need to fight with the barbarians. Let's take property and retreat with us."
