Chapter 403: Face is meant to be trampled on(2/2)
The flag officer turned around instantly and shouted angrily in a cold voice.
The officers and soldiers who were originally surrounding the people of the Kong Mansion immediately put their swords back into their scabbards. Holding the scabbard in their hands, they rushed forward. The scabbard holding the long sword was already being beaten bitterly.
This group of people from the Confucius family were really confused.
For a time, there was a roar of people in the dark night, miserable moans and angry roars from time to time, resounding in the wilderness under the stars.
After all, the people of the Kong family were no match for the officers and soldiers. Even those servants of the Kong family who had been raised for tens or hundreds of years and could be described as private soldiers fell one after another at the hands of the officers and soldiers who still held back their strength.
A gust of wind and smoke blew by, bringing with it a slight chill, which seemed a bit biting.
When everything was settled, there was no one standing in front of Tang Keke's eyes. The officers and soldiers dispersed around with relaxed expressions, but their eyes were on guard in the field.
In the field, the ground was full of people from the Confucius family lying on the ground, whether they were members of the Confucius family or members of the Confucius family.
The flag officer took a glance and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that his subordinates all knew how to be measured and restrained their strength. There was only blood or wounds, and no one died.
Then he looked sideways and silently at Tang Keke.
Tang Keke had already looked towards the glorious high gate of the Confucius Mansion.
After beating this bunch of miscreants, the Kong family should come out with more weight and be able to calm down the situation so that they don't dare to mess up the rules easily again.
as expected.
But soon, under the high gate of the Confucius Mansion, a group of young and old came out, surrounding Kong Gongjian, the next heir to the Confucius Mansion who had been seen in the daytime.
However, Tang Keke's eyes flashed with disappointment.
The contemporary Yanshenggong who raised a good son still didn't come out.
Does he think that the more than ten thousand troops outside the mansion really dare not set foot on Confucius' mansion and defeat this thousand-year-old sect?
In the night, Kong Gongjian's face looked particularly ugly.
The resentment squeezed into my heart during the day has reached the point where I can hardly suppress it.
When he walked out of the Confucius Mansion and looked towards the eastward wilderness, under the light of the torches in the hands of the officers and soldiers, people in the Confucius Mansion fell all over the ground.
Kong Gongjian gritted his teeth, and for the first time he felt the intention to kill out of anger.
Beside him, the elders of the Kong family and the people in charge of each house were already snorting coldly, with expressions of displeasure on their faces and sullen eyes.
Completely different from the behavior of the Kong family members who were brought out of the mansion by Kong Gongjian, Tang Keke had a bright smile on his face again, but there was some implicit embarrassment under the smile.
Without waiting for Kong Gongjian to bring people forward to question him.
Tang Keke had already led three or two officers and soldiers to greet them.
Kong Gongjian was never allowed to speak.
Tang Keke already had his hands raised high: "Tonight, our troops will stay awake and dig deep trenches, just to complete military affairs as soon as possible and protect the safety of your mansion.
However, he didn't expect that the reckless men under his command who had never read books actually had some misunderstandings with the people in your mansion. The two sides didn't know how to get there, but they got into conflicts at night.
This is our department's fault. The person who committed the crime has been captured and taken back to the Chinese army camp for severe punishment. However, I hope your government can calm down."
Kong Gongjian, who was originally ready to launch an attack on the enemy, felt like his fists were hitting cotton before he could even speak out his words.
Just looking at the wailing people in the mansion not far away behind Tang Keke, Kong Gongjian's expression still did not improve.
Kong Gongjian raised his head and looked at Tang Keke, and said in a deep voice: "I heard thunder in the mansion tonight, but I didn't know what was going on. I went out to investigate. When I left the mansion, everyone was in good order. Why did there be misunderstandings and conflicts again."
"Probably because these reckless men in the army have never studied." Tang Keke responded lightly, but his eyes were a little deep, paying attention to the next successor of the Confucius family who was rumored to be smart since childhood.
"Oh?" Kong Gongjian raised his brows, raised his head, and stopped several elders from the clan from reprimanding him. His tone was a little unkind: "Everything is reasonable, how could it be that people in my family fell to the ground just because they didn't study?
Your troops have come here today, saying that in order to protect the safety of our house, we must be on guard against traitors who may take advantage of us.
At this moment, before the rebels arrived, the Kong family was already injured. Is this really consistent with what the general said?
Halfway through the night, the Kong family was resting, but your troops used gunpowder and thunder to disturb the peace of the Kong family. If they are really just guards, why can't they do this again tomorrow?"
Tang Keke said softly: "Soldiers are very quick, I hope your government will understand."
Kong Gongjian frowned, and his tone became colder: "We are called guards, but in fact they are constantly disturbing us. There are thousands of people in the house, and they cannot rest day and night. Even if they know outsiders, it is difficult to tell the true meaning of our department. After all, we are guards.
My family still vents their anger for personal reasons."
Tang Keke cursed a few times in his heart, quite disdainful of Kong Gongjian's remarks.
But on the surface, he was quite restrained and didn't give a shit.
"We accepted the order and abandoned the expedition to the north to go south, just to quell the rebellion on Shandong Road. The Confucius Mansion is the home of the saints and the place of inheritance. We came here day and night and stayed up all night just to protect your mansion.
However, your government said that we had two intentions and dug trenches just to vent our anger. How innocent and unjust our more than 10,000 soldiers are! Perhaps your government knows how to guard against rebels and does not let them come.
Are you trying to harass our troops or your mansion?
The ten thousand people in our department are united to respect the imperial decree and protect the safety of your mansion. Although we have traveled thousands of miles without resting day and night, we have never complained. Where do you think Master Kong’s words are going to put me? Why not let me know?
I'll just kill myself in shame and anger."
Tang Keke spoke with great sadness and anger, almost to the point of bursting into tears.
Kong Gongjian's face turned frosty and he was silent for a while.
He and the Kong family have been crowded into a corner.
He saw that Tang Ke was a scholar, and this kind of person was the most difficult to deal with when joining the army.
In my ears, the indignant hums of the people in the tribe were almost scratching my ears.
In order to maintain the status of the imperial family, Kong Gongjian had to consider the voice of the entire Kong family.
His face turned completely cold, and he looked at Tang Keke: "Do you really want to continue like this? Regardless of the face of the Confucius Mansion, a large army surrounded the Confucius Mansion, trenches were dug outside the Mansion, there was thunder in the middle of the night, and all this, really
To protect the safety of my Kong family?"
"Is not it?"
Tang Keke seemed a bit bachelor. Anyway, he was a soldier now, not the scholar and scholar he once was.
Being reasonable is for the sake of final dignity.
The Kong family couldn't bear this tone, so the last bit of dignity was gone.
Even before Kong Gongjian was about to speak, Tang Keke added: "If there is any obstruction in front of the Ming army formation, everything will be trampled under the feet of all the soldiers."
In an instant, all the blood on Kong Gongjian's face disappeared.
There is no room left for this statement.
What is the reputation of the Kong family?
In the eyes of the Kong family, it may be above all else.
But in front of the Ming army's formation, they were just trampled on.
He, Tang Keke, wanted to trample on the face of the Kong family today, and trample on the ground the face of this thousand-year-old saint family.
"You!" Kong Gongjian finally lost his former demeanor as the heir to the first family in the Central Plains, his face was ferocious, and he shouted angrily.
But Tang Keke waved his arm: "Send the order, it's time to continue to implement the military order in the south."
Kong Gongjian looked puzzled.
However, the flag officer next to Tang Keke had a look of expectation and sarcasm on his face.
The flag officer raised his arms and shouted: "Send the order, the military order will be carried out in the trench south of Confucius Mansion."
When the flag officer passed down the military order, some officers and soldiers headed south, repeating the military order loudly.
Tang Keke looked at the angry Kong family in front of him, with sneers on his face: "As long as the rebels in Shandong Road are not eliminated, our army will not dare to leave Qufu even half a step. I hope your government will know that our army is eager to protect you, and in the future you will be able to serve in court."
I hope you can give me a few kind words from above."
Tang Keke's words were spoken again and again, step by step, against the Kong family.
Kong Gongjian was extremely angry.
The face that was originally pale became red with anger, and became congested with excitement.
However.
next moment.
Five miles south of Confucius Mansion, in the dark night, a few fires lit up.
This time, everyone in the Kong family could clearly and intuitively see how the previous thunderstorm outside the house happened.
A roar rose from the ground.
Countless amounts of dust continued to rise under the flickering light of the fire.
The ground trembled, and even the high walls of Kongfu's mansion finally had tiles and thousands of years of dust shaking off.
In front of the Kong family, he trampled their faces under his feet, which made everyone on Nanxiashan East Road feel hot in their bodies.
Tang Keke even laughed loudly, showing his endless heroism without concealment. He raised his arms and turned around, shouting loudly.
"Confucius is looking at our army. Is it majestic?"
