Chapter 275 Yansheng Confucius Mansion

On the ground in Hebei, there were two and a half provincial-level jurisdictions in the former dynasty. One is Gyeonggi, including the eleven prefectures of Xuanfu, Baoan, Yanqing, Shuntian, Yongping, Baoding, Hejian, Zhending, Shunde, Guangping and Daming.

The other is Shandong, including Dongchang, Jinan, Qingzhou, Laizhou, Dengzhou and Yanzhou.

The other half is the three prefectures of Zhangde, Weihui and Huaiqing in Henan north of the Yellow River and a small part of the northern part of Kaifeng.

When the troops started the Northern Expedition, Ying Yi's troops ignored the state capitals along the way and went straight to Denglai and waded north to outside Shanhaiguan.

Zhu Bingkun and Zheng Jiuyi crossed the river from Mengjin in the north of Luoyang. They first broke through the three prefectures of Huaiqing, Weihui and Zhangde in Henan Province north of the Yellow River, and then entered Daming Prefecture, advancing straight through Guangping, Shunde and Zhende. Ding, entered Baoding and then arrived at Shuntian Capital.

Zheng Wu and Qian Yue all the way crossed the river from Kaifeng north, headed northeast from Fengqiu, entered Dongchang Mansion, attacked Jinan and Qingzhou, and then headed north, entered the river, and reached the capital.

The Northern Expedition aimed to destroy the Ming Dynasty and only attacked the state capitals along the way. did not diverge. Because except for the state capitals that the army passed through, other counties and state capitals that have not passed through are still the same as before.

Especially in Shandong, Yanzhou, Laizhou and Dengzhou were not moved.

Ying Yi defeated the Eastern captives, occupied the capital, and destroyed the Ming Dynasty. Now he has returned to clear up the discord. On the land of Hebei, the twenty prefectures and hundreds of counties under them have to be cleaned up.

The main force of the cleanup was the 12,000 troops with Lin Jiangsheng as the captain after leaving Zheng Wu.

The Qian Yue Division stationed in the capital was responsible for the clearing and reorganization of the Shuntian Prefecture in the capital. The two prefectures of Baoan and Yanqing were within the purge scope of the Zhengjiu Northwest War Zone. The Yongping Prefecture east of Shuntian in the capital was It is the only way to Guanning, so it is within the scope of Zhu Bingkun's suppression in the Liaodong Theater.

Therefore, Lin Jiangsheng's department will be responsible for the cleanup work in all prefectures and counties except these prefectures.

His troops were divided into two groups, the west group started from Baoding, and the east group started from Tianjin Sanwei. The West Road was mainly responsible for clearing the various prefectures in the capital and the three prefectures in Henan located in the north of the Yellow River. The East Road focused on clearing the ground in Shandong after clearing the Hejian Prefecture, including Tianjin Sanwei.

Lin Jiangsheng personally led the east route.

Gain East Road is even more urgent - the Tianjin Guards are not idle, and have a heavy responsibility for clearing them up. Tianjin Guard even has some garrisons, and its gentry is also extremely powerful, only slightly worse than the capital.

Second, there is a land tiger in Shandong, which needs to be treated with caution.

Yanshenggong Confucius Mansion in Qufu County, Yanzhou Prefecture!

The descendants of Confucius, the most holy teacher of Dacheng.

After Lin Jiangsheng cleaned up the Tianjin Guards, integrated the Tianjin Guards and Ying County garrison, and cooperated with the Pastoral Council to complete the establishment of local institutions, he went all the way south, passing through Hejian and Dongchang, and reached Yanzhou Prefecture within ten days.

Their march was swift and extremely fast. Before Qufu could react, he broke the city gate and led his army into the city to surround Confucius' mansion.

In front of Kong's mansion, Lin Jiangsheng got off his horse, took off his horse and held it in his arms.

He raised his head and looked at the golden plaque on the high gate of the mansion with a slightly serious expression.

The door of Confucius Mansion has long been closed, and there is a vague noise inside, which must be chaos. The most holy teacher, Master Kong, was the founder of a thousand-year-old culture and a saint. His status is so high that no need to say more. As the descendants of Master Kong, the Kong family was valued by successive emperors, and the Ming court even established an official office for this purpose.

The height of his brother-in-law is not inferior to that of a king, and his favor is unparalleled for thousands of years.

"Your Majesty once said: The saint laid the foundation for a thousand years of civilization and was admired by all generations. However, the Confucian family is the Confucian family, and the saint is a saint. The Confucian family is not a saint, and the saint is not a Confucian family."

Lin Jiangsheng said to the generals on the left and right: "Sage Confucius's virtues have been glorious for eternity, and his wisdom has been profound for thousands of years. However, his descendants were unfilial, which brought shame to the saint. King Xia brought order to the chaos and cleaned up the world. The Confucius mansion must also be cleaned to protect the saint's name."

His voice was loud and loud and could be heard everywhere.

At this time, the door of Confucius' Mansion opened, and a middle-aged scribe, E Guanbo, walked out, shouting in a stern voice: "You are talking nonsense! Bingtou An dares to humiliate his ancestors, damn it! Damn it!"

Lin Jiangsheng looked up and shouted: "Who is coming!"

"Mr. Yan Shenggong is here!"

Behind the scribe, many people came out, including soldiers and scribes.

"It turns out to be the contemporary Yan Shenggong." Lin Jiangsheng smiled faintly and clasped his fists: "Doesn't it mean that Yan Shenggong wants to argue with me?"

The contemporary Duke Yansheng seemed to be happy and unafraid. He stood on the steps and said condescendingly: "This is in front of the Confucius Mansion. The saint is above. Who dares to mess around?! Do you want to be an enemy of the scholars in the world?! Who is this person? Tell me your name!" "

Lin Jiangsheng's expression darkened and he shouted: "This general is Lin Jiangsheng, the captain of King Xia's tent. The saint is above us, but the Confucius family's moral deeds have fallen short, which has brought shame to the saint. It is a plot of the saint, so it is time to cleanse him."

"Nonsense!" Yan Shenggong shouted sternly: "How can I bring shame to a saint?!"

"Hey." Lin Jiangsheng said: "May I ask Duke Yan, how many acres of land does Duke Yan have now?!"

Duke Yansheng was startled and did not answer for a moment.

Then Lin Jiangsheng shouted angrily: "Two hundred thousand hectares! Most of the fertile land in Yanzhou, Qingzhou, and Jinan is under the name of Confucius! I ask you, from the beginning of the founding of the former dynasty to the time when Chongzhen issued an edict to destroy the Ming Dynasty, how much was it rewarded by the Ming court? !?"

He stretched out his hand: "Ten thousand hectares! Where did the extra come from?! As a descendant of a saint, you don't think about the saint's virtues, and you are like a bandit, exploiting the people. Shandong has been hit by natural disasters many times, but the Confucius Mansion has always looked on with cold eyes. Where is the saint? ?!”

"You...you...you..." Yan Shenggong's face was blood red: "You are spitting blood!"

"Spewing at people?!" Lin Jiangsheng sneered again and again: "The virtues of a saint have long been completely defeated by you unscrupulous descendants. How do you still have the nerve to call a saint in front of me? You use the reputation of a saint to bully the people behind your back and do all kinds of evil. The saint knows in heaven, I wonder if he will vomit three liters of blood?"

I don’t know whether the saint vomited blood or not, but Duke Yan did.

A mouthful of old blood spurted out, and he fell on his back.

There was a sudden exclamation.

Someone shouted: "The soldier is lying and insulting the saint. He deserves to die! The saint has been glorious for eternity. Why shouldn't the Confucius family be enshrined?! You actually insulted the Confucius family with the humiliation of a pariah. No scholar in the world can spare you!"

Lin Jiangsheng shouted: "I have heard of the saint's praise and killed him in five lifetimes. How many lifetimes has Kong Fuze been in since Kong Sheng?! Fortunately, he is still a scholar, and he has read all the books up his butt!?"

Then he said: "You keep your mouth shut and you are a pariah. Who do you think you are?! The virtue of a saint is to educate all people. Virtue is to treat everyone equally. You bitch, how dare you slander a saint? Come on, drag me out and kill him." Got it!"

Suddenly, armored soldiers rushed forward like wolves and tigers, dragged the man out, and killed him without any explanation.

Then Lin Jiangsheng stepped forward: "The virtue of a saint lies in poetry and calligraphy, and virtue lies in civilization. Yanshenggong Mansion inherits the blood of saints, so poems and books should be passed down to the family. How can it be like the greed of a rural landlord? The Yanshenggong Mansion was seized and confiscated. All assets, and anyone who dares to resist will be killed without mercy! Come in!"
