Kangxi, your Qing Dynasty is dead

Chapter 473 There is a queen and Prince Gong in Dongping Prefecture! (Please subscribe, please vote)
Kangxi really turned into a frightened bird this time!

Although the [-]-strong army led by Li Zhongshan left Zouxian County and went north to Qufu early this morning, it is forty miles from Zouxian County to Qufu and they still have to cross the Yi River.Even if Li Zhongshan's army marched in a hurry, they would not be able to reach the Confucius Courtyard in the south of Qufu until around evening time.

There are still several hours left!

Kangxi's new troops stationed in the Confucius Courtyard included 5000 men from Mahada and 1000 men from Sun Sike. These were elite troops, not at all like Shang Shuying's two to three hundred veterans and Kong Yinzheng's six. Comparable to hundreds of dead soldiers.

Although Kong Shenggong has 10000 servants, these servants have no fighting experience at all, and they don't have much determination to fight - the Kong family in Qufu is the best surrender family in the world. Whoever surrenders, the servants are just to guard against bandits. , even if the rogue bandits get bigger, they can’t be dealt with.How dare they fight against the Qing Emperor?Whether this can be won or not is secondary. Even if it is won, it will not end well. Armed with sharp weapons, the murderous intention is self-motivated, holding heavy troops, and the rebellious intention is self-reliant!
If the soldiers of the Confucian family in Qufu really defeated Kangxi, even if Kong Shenggong was not the emperor, then the ranking would have to be the same as that of the Roman Pope (referring to the Pope with great authority), right?Even if Kong Yuqi didn't have that intention, Li Zhongshan couldn't believe him.

Therefore, if the Confucius family in Qufu wants to maintain its 2000-year wealth, it must maintain a cowardly, weak and spineless "household". It really needs a group of strong-willed and powerful Kong Shenggong, the descendant of the famous religious saint of the Qufu Confucius family. Shouldn't we go down the road of unifying politics and politics?
After all, this "iron bone" must be linked to combat effectiveness. You can't ask the Kong family to not practice martial arts, equip themselves with military equipment, or build city defenses, so that when disaster strikes, they can all die generously, right?Do you need this kind of IQ to deserve the surname Kong?And if the Kong family has powerful military equipment and solid city defenses, what is the difference between Kong Shenggong and Ha Hefa, as well as the papal father who rules the Papal State?
Can the Chinese imperial power and court tolerate such a holy Duke?
Therefore, Kong Yuqi would rather hand over Zhong Youtang to Shang Shuying and let her perform meritorious deeds and take risks, rather than be a "proud sage".

If Kangxi really wanted to lead his troops into Qufu to set up defenses, Kong Yuqi would at most abandon the city and leave, and would never confront Kangxi.

But Kangxi, who had become a frightened bird, saw that Obai and Kong Shenggong rebelled again, and [-] Ming troops came with murderous intent. There were still an unknown number of Ming troops in the west, east, and north of Qufu, and he had previously They were also defeated miserably in the Battle of Zouxian. By the way, there are still tens of thousands of Ming troops who have detoured back to Zhili and are marching towards Beijing. There is also Uncle Yang, who has ulterior motives, who is also leading tens of thousands of troops to enter Beijing!

And the army in Kangxi's hands was not only newly defeated, but also a tired army. With all the disadvantages stacked up, how could he dare to stay in the Confucius Courtyard?

But Kangxi didn't realize that as soon as he left, his momentum was gone!
In the northeast corner of the Confucius Villa, there is a particularly secluded and sturdy house. The road leading there is winding and very narrow. There are tall walls on both sides. Occasionally, you can see a few closed doors. The thick wooden door is closed.

At this time, the whole courtyard was already fighting. The shouts of killing, the sound of gunfire, and the sound of crying came one after another, which made people feel frightened.But the northeast corner of the courtyard seems to have been forgotten.

Ding Fei, a member of the Confucius family, was running through the twists and turns of the passage, and soon came to the closed door at the end of the passage.I only saw that the courtyard walls on both sides of this gate were very tall, as high as the city wall in the northeast corner of the Confucius Villa!

Without waiting for the servant to knock on the door, the closed door opened a crack for one person to come in and out. The servant slipped in and then the door closed again.

After entering the house, the servant first walked around a very tall screen wall, and then arrived in front of a hall. The door of the hall was open, but the lighting inside was still not very good, so a lot of candles were lit.In the candlelight, many elderly men wearing "Confucian-style Confucian clothes" and hoods were sitting on both sides. In the main seat in the middle was Kong Yuqi, the Holy Duke of Kong who was dressed like everyone else.

"Dear Holy Duke," the servant reported loudly, "The emperor has left the city through the north gate under the protection of Deputy Governor Mahada!"

"Thank goodness!"

"That's great."

"Ancestor bless!"

"Holy Duke, should we prepare to welcome the new Lord?"

The men wearing hoods and Confucian clothes in the hall were all heads of the houses of the Kong family in Qufu. This morning I learned that the Ming Dynasty soldiers had left Zouxian and would soon arrive in Qufu, which was loyal to the Ming Dynasty. After finishing "Kong Fu", we gathered in Kong Shenggong's "safe house" in the other courtyard and prepared to welcome the Ming Dynasty together.However, because they were not sure whether Kangxi would fight to the death in the Confucius mansion, these filial sons and grandsons of the sage Confucius were a little uneasy.

Now that they heard that Kangxi had left, everyone was relieved and began to make suggestions to welcome the new master.

However, Kong Shenggong Kong Yuqi was not in a hurry at all. As a great surrender expert who has studied "surrender science" for many years, he had already arranged everything. The reason why the Ming army could go north so quickly was because he prepared enough for the Ming army in Nishan. forage!And before Shang Shuying took action, he sent someone to contact the Ming army in Zouxian County.Not to mention, he helped Shang Shuying assassinate Kangxi!

He couldn't admit this matter on face, but he understood it. This was a "declaration of surrender", and he helped kill Kangxi. Is Tou Ming's stance firm enough?

In addition, Zhong Youtang's 600 dead soldiers no longer need to return to the Confucian family in the future. They can follow Shang Shuying and join the Mongolian East India Trading Company. In the future, they can go to the Western Regions or the New World to spread Confucianism!
Of course, the extent to which the Kong family should be involved in this matter of spreading Confucianism outside the territory depends on the general.
In short, the surrender attitude of the Kong family in Qufu was very good, and it was also very useful after the surrender. As long as the new master could always control Qufu, there was no need to worry about the Kong family being disloyal.

Because the Confucian family has always had a tradition of only surrendering and not rebelling.
Thinking of this, Kong Yuqi said: "There is no rush to welcome the new Lord. Although Kangxi has left, Sun Sike has not left yet. As long as he is still resisting, the entire Kongfu Courtyard will not be occupied by the Ming army. Then we will wait. wait."

He doesn't want to share the credit with Shang Shuying. All the credit belongs to Shang Shuying, so he should be the hero behind the scenes!Although Li Zhongshan definitely knows what is going on, as long as he does not take any credit, the "family setting" of the Kong family will not change.

"Holy Duke, there are few soldiers in the Ming Dynasty," an elder of the Kong family (the head of a certain house) immediately reminded, "What if we can't defeat Sun Sike?"

"How can it be impossible to defeat her?" Kong Yuqi said, "Although Shang Shuying is a female, she is as brave as her father. Sun Sike only has a thousand men, how can he defeat her [-] dead soldiers? Let's just wait for Shang Shuying with peace of mind Win!"

When the elders of the Kong family saw Kong Yuqi's confident look, they didn't want to ask any more questions - on the surface, this holy man kept the bottom line of "surrendering family", but in private he did very few extraordinary things!Let’s just pretend we don’t know anything, right?

"Bah!"

With the sound of a gunshot, Shang Shuying, holding a three-foot-long spear, killed another Qing soldier. This was already the tenth time today! Shang Shuying, who is "addicted to food", is like a Valkyrie possessed today. No clear soldier or general can survive three moves in her hands!Usually after one or two moves, the Qing army on the opposite side would either get a headshot, or their body would be hit by mini bullets from nowhere.
It seems that "summoning bullets" is the real trick in spear fighting!
Of course, Shang Shuying is not the only one who "has the help of Kong" today. Kong Yinzheng, Wang Guodong, and Li Tianzhi are all unstoppable. The other "deaths of the Shang family" saw that their leaders were so powerful, and they all Inspired by this, he rushed forward with all his strength, and in a short time he killed only less than [-] of the thousands of people under Sun Sike and Ma Jinliang!

Seeing that the signs were not good and the reinforcements were not arriving, Sun Sike was no longer interested in fighting, so he wanted to run away quickly, but before he could leave the "discussion venue", he was stopped by a woman who was playing with a big gun: " Sun Sike, General Li’s Shang Shuying is here!”

"Shang Shuying? Why did you sacrifice your life for the enemy who killed your father?" Sun Sike had actually met Shang Shuying, but she was still young and not so graceful at that time. That's why she didn't recognize her. Now she has announced her family name. Of course he remembered knowing who she was?

Shang Shuying smiled: "Isn't it my family tradition to work for the enemy who killed my father? My grandfather, my uncle, and my brothers and sisters who can't be included in the family tree, weren't they all killed by the Qing soldiers? This is ridiculous. Dad also has a share, right? Come, let’s fight to the death today!”

Shang Kexi's father and brother were both killed in battle with the Qing army (later the Jin army), and his family members all stayed in Lushun in his early years, and were all killed when the Qing army conquered Lushun!

Sun Degong, Kong Youde, and Geng Zhongming were all involved in that battle!
But Shang Kexi is capable of bending and stretching. Why does it matter if he kills his father and destroys his family?Later, he worked wholeheartedly for the Qing Dynasty, without any intention of discounting!
Now Shang Shuying has the same virtue as her father, working wholeheartedly for Li Zhongshan without any discount. She is surrendered to the killer. She is afraid of the killer. At the same time, she also recognizes the reality. The Shang family wants to survive and develop. If you want to live a good life, you have to work hard for your master, Li Zhongshan!
This is actually the way to survive for those warlords and politicians in troubled times. Warlords and politicians will not be happy with grudges, that is what knights do!The actions of people like Shang Kexi and Shang Shuying are all for the benefit of the Shang family and the Shang warlord group.

After hearing this, Sun Sike also knew that today he had to fight to the death. However, his right hand had been injured and he could not kill people with a knife. He had to stretch out his left hand to take a spear from a soldier, roared angrily, and leveled it. Point the spear at Shang Shuying's chest, and then rush forward!
Shang Shuying also leveled her spear and made a counterattack with Sun Sike - this was a life-threatening style of play!Seeing that the chests of the two of them were about to be pierced by each other's spears, a ball of blood suddenly burst out from Sun Sike's left arm!The spear suddenly lost its grip and fell to the ground. Seeing Shang Shuying's spear approaching, Sun Sike knew it was about to end, so he had to endure the severe pain and raised his right arm to block it. At the same time, his body turned to the right. Tilt, but still a beat slower, only to hear a pop, the tip of the spear has pierced Sun Sike's right shoulder, and also made a deep wound on his right arm with bone visible.
The severe pain coupled with the impact of the spear made Sun Sike unable to stand still. He fell to the ground on his back. Shang Shuying took advantage of the situation and pulled out the spear, raised it high and slammed it down. The horizontal blade of the spear penetrated again. Sun Sike's body opened a big blood groove on his chest, and the blood gurgled out, and he died just by looking at it.

Seeing Sun Sike fall, Shang Shuying shouted excitedly: "If Sun Sike dies, the rest can surrender, and those who surrender will avoid death!"

Just when Sun Sike died fighting for the Qing Dynasty, Kangxi, who had fled first despite the fact that his subordinates fought to the death, had already rushed north under the protection of Mahada, Tulichen, Zhao Chang, Liang Jiucheng and other courtiers and thousands of cavalry. They have already passed the city of Qufu.

And when Kangxi ran away like this, it was not Sun Sike who was tricked to death, but also the infantry stationed around the Confucius Courtyard who were defeated from the front line one after another, and the Zhengbai Banner New Army who could still fight, were also killed. Disaster.

The emperor has run away, the Confucius Courtyard and Qufu City have changed hands, and the Ming army is about to arrive. Who is still willing to fight to the death?Run quickly. If you run too slowly, you will die!

Although Kangxi's army suffered heavy losses in the previous battle of the boundary river-Beishahe, it was a large army of 10 people after all, and it was not easy to defeat them in a majestic formation.

On that day, the troops that entered the south of the boundary river with Kangxi were more than 3 people who finally withdrew. The rest were not completely wiped out, but quite a few were dispersed. If Kangxi could hold on for a few more days, he would return to the army. It’s not necessarily [-] or [-].

In addition, the Zhengbai Banner New Army performed well. By breaking the bridge and occupying the river, they delayed the attack of the 8000 Ming Army and preserved most of their strength. When they withdrew to the vicinity of the Confucius Courtyard, there were about [-] people left. So he was sent as a messenger from the palace army.As a result, they were preparing to make a gesture with the [-] Ming troops heading north, but the tens of thousands of people behind them suddenly collapsed.

At this time, the new army of Zhengbai Banner also panicked and lost all desire to fight. The 8000 people turned around and ran away. As a result, they were chased and killed by the Ming army's cavalry. Their dead bodies were spread all the way from the south of the Kongfu Villa to the Yi River.

When they arrived at the river, they discovered that several pontoon bridges on the river had been burned by the troops who had escaped before!

Many Qing troops who were in a hurry wanted to ford the Yi River, but were shot by Ming troops while crossing. They suffered numerous casualties. The blood dyed the river red, and the corpses almost blocked the river!

The Qing army that had already passed through the river was not much better. It was still 120 miles from Qufu to Dongping. Under normal circumstances, it would take at least two days to walk!

The Chang Wei Corps of the Ming Army had already ambushed two divisions halfway along the road.These two divisions did not ambush Kangxi's cavalry - thousands of cavalry were difficult to catch on the plains, and the Qing infantry following them was their "dish" - the two Ming infantry divisions also included two Battalion cavalry, almost 2000 cavalry!
The infantry ambushed them, and the cavalry pursued them again. The 120 miles from Qufu to Dongping were once again covered with corpses!

The news that Emperor Kangxi's army suffered another disastrous defeat on their way to Dongping from Qufu was soon spotted by the scouting horse sent by Prince Gong Chang Ning, and the news was brought back to the "Queen's presence" in the Daleng Fort in Dongping Prefecture.

Prince Gong and Empress Yang are now living together in the "Queen's Walk", uncle and sister-in-law, how wonderful it is!

Of course, Prince Gong has not officially "taken over" his sister-in-law yet. He just takes a "number" and is waiting for his brother to succeed - his goal is not only to inherit his sister-in-law, but also to inherit the throne!

After receiving the news that Kangxi was defeated again, Prince Gong Chang Ning happily went to Queen Yang's palace, shouting as he walked: "Queen, Queen, the emperor may be gone. The Qing Dynasty can't live without the emperor, and you can't live without the emperor either. This What should we do? You can come up with an idea!"
