  Chapter 418 416 [The Kong family prepared with many hands]

  During the battle with Duduo that day, the Datong Army killed 1962 people, seriously injured 383 people, and slightly injured 935 people.

  The casualty rate is 32.8%!

   The peasants and soldiers stationed in Fei County will be supplemented and reorganized nearby.

   Newly recruited soldiers are temporarily entitled to the treatment of regular soldiers, but they must obtain the approval of the Ministry of War to be eligible for military registration.

  The military status under Zhao Han's rule is different from that of Daming.

  It must be uniformly compiled in the Ministry of War, but it should also be displayed in the yellow register of civil registration. For soldiers in active service, the word "in the army" will be specially marked on the household registration book at home, and the mark will be canceled and stamped after retiring from the army.

  Resigned General Li Guoying, who witnessed the whole process of reorganization, was beyond surprised.

  With a casualty rate close to one-third, this army should have been disabled. As a result, it was fully staffed again in a few days. With this speed of troop supply, as long as the troop number is still there, the Manchu court can be killed by exchanging lives!

  Li Guoying was very fortunate, he did the right thing this time, and chose to turn against him at a critical moment.

   In fact, it can be replenished so quickly, mainly because most of the dead are melee soldiers. Peasants and soldiers have practiced for a long time in the military formation, and temporarily enlisted in the army for reorganization. Being a melee soldier will not affect their combat effectiveness much.

  The firecrackers are not good, they need additional training.

   Not practice aiming and shooting, but practice loading ammunition. Today, the firecrackers of the Datong Army have been shortened to a bullet every 50 seconds.

   What surprised Li Guoying was not limited to this. The Datong Army had a large number of military doctors.

  These military doctors are male and female. Many injuries that seemed to be amputated were repeatedly washed with distilled spirits, and then applied with golden sore medicine, it was said that the limbs could still be preserved.

  The Surabaya defender had killed Geng Jimao and had defected to the Datong Army. Zhang Tieniu immediately set off with the newly reorganized troops.

  Military doctors and the wounded will stay in Fei County temporarily.

  After arriving in Surabaya, Zhang Tieniu took a short rest, and then headed for Qufu with his troops and surrendered generals. As for the large number of captives, they were thrown to the civilian officials who followed behind.

  As long as you are not a person full of evil, you will generally be punished lightly. You can still divide the land and settle down, but in the slack season, you have to be punished as a servant to help the government maintain and repair roads and so on. And I can't hold public office, the next generation is allowed to take the civil service examination.

  There is a shortage of people in the north, so don't kill too much!

  …

  Qufu, Confucius Mansion.

  Kong Xingxie ran fast, tripped over the threshold, and crawled into the garden.

  Yan Sheng Gong Kong Yinzhi is very old and sick in recent years. It was rare to meet the fine weather, neither cold nor hot, cloudy at the end of spring, so I lay down and took a nap under the trees in the garden.

  She was covered with a thin blanket, and a maid was beating her legs.

   "Father, don't... hoo... it's not good!" Kong Xingxie panted.

  Kong Yinzhi opened his eyes and asked, "What's the matter?"

  Kong Xingxie said: "The Qing Dynasty... the Tartars lost! I just received the news that Xu Ensheng, the guard of Sishui County, changed his flag a few days ago. Now... the Heavenly Soldiers of Datong have arrived at the border of Qufu County!"

"Don't panic, don't panic," Kong Yinzhi asked the maid to help him stand up, "I have already written the letter for my father. You gather the wise old men from the clan, and when the heavenly soldiers of Datong come, they will go to meet them together. Also, how many Prepare some drinks and food, Datong Heavenly Soldiers have worked hard all the way, and the Kong family should do their best to extend their condolences to the army as a landlord."

  Kong Yinzhi, really don't panic.

  Historically, in the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, the emperor was already overwhelmed by the current situation. And what is Yan Sheng Gong Kong Yinzhi doing? Ask the court to grant the eldest son a second-rank official uniform.

  The Ming court, which was about to collapse, immediately gave official uniforms and sent them to the Kong family amidst the flames of war.

  Only two months later, Kong Yinzhi received the news that Li Zicheng had breached Beijing, and immediately enshrined the Dragon Throne of Emperor Yongchang of Dashun Kingdom in Yanshenggong Mansion, and offered horses in silver, and knelt down to welcome the seal of Dashun bestowed by Li Zicheng.

   Soon, the Qing army entered the pass, and Li Zicheng fled in defeat.

  Kong Yinzhi heard the news, and quickly wrote the "First Entry Form", saying that Emperor Shunzhi "the holy emperor, the mountains and rivers, the sun and the moon, and the country and the universe will last forever".

   Within one year, the Kong family received three emperor rewards!

  The Kong family in this time and space is not much better. Although Zuo Liangyu blocked it, after Li Zicheng proclaimed himself emperor, he immediately offered up Li Zicheng's position as a dragon.

   Immediately, the Manchus entered the customs, and Zhao Han proclaimed himself emperor.

  Kong Yinzhi was uncertain, so he simply wrote two essays at the same time, and removed Li Zicheng from the dragon position. Anyway, whoever calls Qufu first will have his form published. It's nothing more than kneeling a few more times.

   Another day later, nearly a hundred members of the head of the Kong family led a team of thousands of people to welcome Zhang Tieniu.

  Soldiers are expensive and fast, Zhang Tieniu ignored them, completely ignored the Kong family kneeling by the road, and the whole army went straight to set up camp outside Qufu City.

  Kong Yinzhi looked at the Datong army going away, feeling a little dazed and panicked.

  Duoduo and Hong Chengchou went south and stationed in Jining, but they sent people to the Confucian Mansion as soon as possible, and then the two went to the Confucian Mansion to contact them in person.

  Why did the Datong Army ignore themselves?

  Kong Xingxie supported Kong Yinzhi to stand up: "Father, do you want to catch up?"

  Kong Yinzhi sighed: "The general of this army must be a rough warrior. I don't know which saint Confucius is. Even if he goes, I'm afraid he won't get a good face. He must send someone to Nanjing to show his loyalty."

  Kong Xingxie asked: "What if these warriors led troops to rob Confucius' mansion?"

  Kong Yinzhi thought carefully and said: "Prepare more wine and food, get more food, and send it to the military camp today."

  …

  Outside Qufu City.

  A few dragoons held their heads on bamboo poles, galloped back and forth around the city and shouted:

   "The head of Duduo, the prince of the false Qing Dynasty!"

   "The head of Geng Zhongming, the prince of the false Qing Dynasty!"

   "Pseudo-clear..."

  These heads have been tanned and will not rot in a short time.

  The guard Gong Mian turned pale with shock, and tremblingly said: "The Qing...Tar...Tartars were really defeated. Judging from the situation, I am afraid that the entire army was wiped out, and the Datong army is so brave?"

"General, let's surrender," said one of the generals. "The prince of the tartars has lost his head. How can we beat the Datong army? There seem to be flags of generals Li Guoying and Xu Ensheng outside. It's okay for them to surrender. Let's surrender." It's sure to be fine."

  Gong Mian nodded again and again: "Okay, Kaesong surrenders, Kaesong surrenders!"

  The city gate of Qufu was opened wide, and Gong Mian surrendered with the whole army.

  Several officers accompanying the army immediately brought some soldiers into the city to take over the county government and public security in the city.

  As for Zhang Tieniu, he recruited Gong Mian: "Choose a thousand elites and follow the army to continue fighting. Pick a thousand young men and stay in Qufu to defend the city. The remaining soldiers will all be dismissed as civilians. Did you hear that?"

  Gong Mian knelt and kowtowed and said, "The general will understand!"

  Since the victory over Dodo, all surrenders and generals have been handled in this way. One thousand will follow the army, one thousand will defend the city, and the rest will be disbanded.

   As for how to deal with surrendered generals, Zhang Tieniu has no right to deal with them after the battle.

   "General, the Kong family asks to see you."

   "Bring ten people in, and the rest are not allowed to enter the barracks!"

   With the support of his son, Kong Yinzhi came to the barracks tremblingly. The dignified Lord Yan Sheng bowed down when he saw Wu Fu: "The old man Kong Yinzhi, with the Kong family of Qufu, pays homage to General Datong Sheng Chaotian!"

  Zhang Tieniu said: "Are you a descendant of Confucius?"

   Although Kong Yinzhi was still kneeling, he straightened his back: "Exactly!"

  Zhang Tieniu asked confusedly: "Aren't the descendants of Confucius in Zhejiang?"

  Kong Yinzhi explained: "Qufu is the northern sect, and the one in Zhejiang is the southern sect."

"Oh, so it is like this," Zhang Tieniu said, "Before His Majesty raised his troops, he also taught me to read and write, and asked me to practice calligraphy and memorize memorization every day. Over the years, I only learned two or three hundred characters. This word is Confucius Made it? Confucius is really amazing.”

  Kong Yinzhi became more and more contemptuous, and explained with an apologetic smile: "Return to the general, the writing was created by Cangjie."

  Zhang Tieniu was very surprised: "Didn't Confucius make this character? Did Confucius make the writing brush?"

  Kong Yinzhi said: "Sage Kong is the most holy teacher of Dacheng, and all scholars in the world are disciples and grandchildren of Saint Kong."

  Zhang Tieniu praised: "It is good to be a teacher. Your Majesty tells us to respect teachers."

  Kong Yinzhi was overjoyed, and said: "I have already written a form, but it is a pity that there was a war, otherwise I would have sent it to Nanjing long ago. Here is the form, please pass it on to His Majesty the Holy Son of Heaven!"

   Zhang Tieniu got the congratulatory form, but he couldn't understand it anyway, but he still pretended to say: "The handwriting is very good, I will definitely pass it on, you all go home."

   "Thank you, General," Kong Yinzhi was overjoyed, "The General has worked so hard to kill the Tartars, and the Kong family prepared a little wine and food to express their condolences to the soldiers of Datong. There is also food and a hundred stones, please accept it with a smile."

Zhang Tieniu said: "It happened that I was short of food, so I accepted the food. Wait a minute, I will sign a note, and you will hand it over to the missionary officer, military judge, and quartermaster. The military food is considered to be borrowed, and there must be borrowing and repayment." , I will give credit to you in the future. As for food and drink, the Datong Army has a rule that it is not allowed to accept people's goods, so you can take it home and eat it yourself."

  Compared with the Manchu Qing Dynasty who forced the Confucian family to hand over the food, Kong Yinzhi praised sincerely: "It is no wonder that Wang Shi is invincible, and he has not disturbed the people all the way. He is really a righteous teacher!"

  Zhang Tieniu waved and said, "Go, go, I still have military affairs here."

  Kong Yinzhi saw that Zhang Tieniu did not seem to be a fake, so he left quickly.

  Out of the barracks, Kong Yinzhi said to his son: "The Datong army has strict military discipline, and Emperor Zhao in Nanjing will surely win the world. If the Tartars come again, the Kong family will go south to avoid disaster."

   "Father's opinion." Kong Xingxie hurriedly responded.

  The more Kong Yinzhi thought about it, the happier he became. Based on his thinking logic, Zhang Tieniu took his grain and helped him pass on Kong's congratulatory form to the emperor.

  Actually, this is all a misunderstanding.

  The food is considered to be borrowed, and it is an emergency measure during wartime. It must be signed by the commander, mission officer, military judge, and quartermaster. When the war is over, the food will be returned, and credit will be given to those who borrowed it.

  How to deal with the Kong family, or how to deal with the people, the army cannot intervene.

  Zhang Tieniu does not have the power to handle civil affairs, this is completely two systems. Unless there is an emergency, the army can temporarily take over the place. For example, Fei Ruhe and Zhang Tieniu helped the people in Yizhou and other places last year.

   The trial of the Kong family in Qufu will have to wait until the local officials and judicial officials come.

   (Tomorrow three shifts, today is gone.)
