I have a cornucopia

Chapter 25 Blood sacrifice to the god of learning, head sacrifice to the Confucian throne
  Temple of Confucius.

Yang Feng stood at the foot of the steps and looked at the Dacheng Hall standing in front of him.

Behind the majestic hall, the setting sun is like blood.

The cold wind in winter blows the flags.

"Put it on!"

He turned around and shouted

Then, under the gaze of a total of forty-eight Confucian scholars standing in the aisle, the soldiers carrying the heads of the Qing army filed in, walked straight up the steps, and beheaded these heads, many of which were still bleeding, in front of the Dacheng Hall...

This was all done by Yan Shenggong himself.

In order to allow Yan Shenggong to comfort Kong Sheng's soul in heaven with actions, Yang Shengyuan didn't give up any money. All these were counted as Yan Shenggong's beheading. Speaking of which, Yan Shenggong also had martial arts passed down from his family, and Kong Sheng was also proficient in the six arts. It was necessary to kill people with a knife. Skill. In short, thousands of Jianlu troops fled to Qufu. Duke Yansheng personally led the young and strong soldiers of the Confucius family to attack Nishan, defeated the Jianlu in one fell swoop, captured fifty Jianlu and presented them to the Confucius Temple alive, and personally executed them in front of the Dacheng Hall.

And it has been successful.

The good news written by the magistrate of Qufu was rushed to the capital five hundred miles away.

Yan Shenggong...

Duke Yan Sheng was laughing as hard as he was crying.

Duke Yansheng, whose arms were trembling from the fatigue of cutting too many people, was standing next to Yang Feng and watching the soldiers gathering in front of Dacheng Hall.

And you have to accompany it with a smile.

Now he shuddered when he looked at Yang Feng.

This demon-like man just held his hand and cut off fifty heads with a knife. Jianlu's blood spurted all over his body. He almost fainted when he was bathing and changing clothes just now.

I have to say that he is really sitting at home with nothing to do, and disaster is coming from the sky!

But to no avail.

The key is that at this time, the entire Yanzhou Prefecture is basically in a power vacuum. After the Qing army massacred various officials, they fled to death, and no one could be found to make the decision for them. The imperial officers and soldiers have not dared to come over yet. They are all watching from the north and cannot provide him with protection. Although there are some servants in Qufu, they are obviously useless. Besides, if chaos really breaks out, the unscrupulous people in Qufu are not immune to taking action, so Yang Feng's three thousand cavalry can really do whatever they want in this area, at least in the short term.

They really dared to pretend to be Jianlu or rogue bandits and break into Qufu in the middle of the night to kill his whole family.

This is not a threat.

Now the gentry who had their property robbed by the Jianqiu were staring with blood-red eyes, looking for a fat sheep to make up for their losses!
  Isn't he the fattest in this area now?

And no one will follow up afterwards.

The Ming Dynasty is already in chaos, and it has been in chaos for many years. The Jianlu invaders have invaded Shandong twice. Bandits have emerged in various places. Qufu alone has not experienced much peace since the Wenxiang Sect rebelled during the Tianqi period. Last year, the rogue bandits also broke through Too bad! Qin Xuan and his second brother Qin Ji were killed by bandits last year. In this situation, not many of the powerful local gentry died. He was nothing more than Yan Shenggong, but King Lu next door was killed and his whole family was killed. He What's so great about a Yanshenggong? Besides, it’s not like Qufu has never been conquered before. It is said that the current Confucius Mansion was built during the Jiajing period, because the previous one was burned down by Liu Liu and Liu Qi. At that time, the Dacheng Palace was used to raise horses.

Troubled times.

You have to have the awareness of troubled times.

Yan Shenggong's integrity can be despised, but his IQ is definitely worthy of recognition.

After all, it was Li Zicheng who had acted as Emperor Dashun for thousands of years before he came to Beijing, Dorgon asked for his hair to be shaved before he officially issued the order to shave his head, and who chanted "The Great Song of the Eight Desolations" during the bloody sea of ​​corpses in the south of the Yangtze River.

That reaction speed can be called decisive.

So at this moment, facing Yang Feng, whose style was obviously a bit violent, his reaction was extremely rational.

"Mr. Yan Sheng, as Confucius's disciples, we, as disciples of Confucius, are all saddened by the disturbance of Confucius by the captives. In order to avoid this happening again, we have discussed to protect the religion with our blood and form the Knights of Confucius and Mencius in Dacheng Hall. I call on all the scholars in the world to hold their swords and defend the Tao, support the Ming Dynasty and destroy the Qing Dynasty, so that the sun and moon will bloom again in the bright future, and the mountains and rivers will shine again."

Yang Feng said with a solemn and upright expression.

At this time, fifty Qing army leaders had piled up into a small pyramid in front of Dacheng Hall.

"Ride, Knights?"

Duke Yansheng said tremblingly with a very bad premonition.

"A scholar who rides a horse is called a knight."

Su Dunsheng kindly explained to him.

"Although we are scholars, we have never neglected the six arts of a gentleman. We naturally understand the art of archery. Confucius is the most holy teacher of Dacheng. We are all disciples of Confucius. As disciples, we naturally have the responsibility to protect the tomb of Confucius. , so the Knights of Confucius and Mencius were formed to protect the tomb of Saint Confucius and the Confucian temples in various places. If there are any more invaders who enter the border and endanger the tomb of Saint Confucius, we should all come to fight with them to the end. This is the responsibility of our disciples, the king of heaven and earth. Master, loyalty, filial piety and justice are the foundation of our lives. If Confucius’ mausoleum is frightened again, how can we stand?

Only to protect the religion with blood.

Defend the way with blood.

Fight to the end for the tomb of Saint Kong.

After Duke Yansheng became Confucius, he can be the leader among us.

Therefore, Duke Yan Sheng was asked to be the grand leader of the Knights of Confucius and Mencius.

I also ask Duke Yan Sheng to report this to Your Majesty, so that Your Majesty can know the heart of our fists and understand our loyalty, and also ask Your Majesty to give a title to the Knights of Confucius and Mencius. "

Yang Feng said.

Then he bowed seriously.

"Please invite Yan Shenggong to be the grand leader of the Knights of Confucius and Mencius!"

He said.

Immediately afterwards, Su Dunsheng and others also bowed.

"Please invite Yan Shenggong to be the grand leader of the Knights of Confucius and Mencius."

they shouted in unison. Kong Yinzhi was dumbfounded.

"Everyone, everyone, how can Yinzhi be so virtuous as to take on this important task? This regiment leader is absolutely unqualified. Fengsheng is the bravest of the three armies and an initiator. Fengsheng should be the commander of the regiment."

he said almost crying.

This is putting him on the fire. It is already illegal for you to engage in group training. At least until now, the court has not issued an order to allow local areas to engage in group training. However, the situation is chaotic and sneaky and no one is taking care of it. After all, the situation is like this. In fact, the gentry everywhere It's happening, but not blatantly. But you are so blatantly establishing a knighthood, and you want the emperor to give you a title. You are clearly provoking the emperor. Likewise, whoever becomes the leader of this group is hiding ambition. How could a sensible person like Yan Shenggong dare to accept this, not to mention his different status. If it was a little-known little character like Yang Feng, he would be just a crazy student at best. But Yan Shenggong took the lead, and the emperor We really need to seriously consider the issue of the Kong family wanting to separate their kingdoms.

What do you guys, the Kong family, have in mind?

Do you want to take advantage of the chaos in the world and turn your family into a country?

"Mr. Yansheng, are you being unfilial?"

Yang Feng said gloomyly.

"Uh?"

Kong Yinzhi was speechless.

"Mr. Yan Sheng, you are the queen of Confucius, and we are disciples of Confucius. If we really think about it, you are a relative and we are strangers. We can all protect the tomb of Confucius even if we die, but you, a relative, are not Dare you be the leader of this group?
  You are being unfilial!

Students hate those who are unfilial the most in their lives, and they can't handle those who are unfilial. "

Qin Xuan sneered.

"Mr. Yansheng, we are protecting your ancestors."

Gao Dan said.

Immediately afterwards, the scholars rushed forward, accusing Duke Yan of being unfilial, and even stated that they wanted to clean up the family for Kong Sheng. Kong Yinzhi was squeezed in the middle, looking at Yang Feng with tears in his eyes...

"Yan Shenggong, I still say the same thing, you have to do it even if you don't do it, this Jianlu is still around, you have already reported that thousands of Jianlu wanted to attack Qufu, but you still killed him like this Duo Jianlu has already become enemies with Jianlu. It seems that if Jianlu goes away and comes back, it is not impossible for him to raid Qufu when you are not prepared, break through the city, and kill your whole family. Poor Yanshenggong can be regarded as sacrificing his life for the country. ."

Yang Feng hooked his chin with his hand and said with a murderous expression.

Kong Yinzhi...

Then didn’t you make up Tamar for me?
  When you co-wrote the story, were you already digging holes for me?
  "Mr. Yansheng, if you don't do this, you will be unfilial. If the unfilial ones are attacked and killed by Jianlu, we will not save them."

Qin Xu said.

"Mr. Yansheng, all our counties have been massacred, so it is reasonable for Qufu to be massacred, right?"

A scholar said ferociously.

……

Kong Yinzhi looked at them mechanically, like looking at a group of salivating hungry wolves.

"I do, I do."

he cried.

"County magistrate, quickly bring the memorial and ask Duke Yan to submit it!"

Su Dunsheng shouted excitedly.

The scholars all looked excited, which made Kong Yinzhi feel a little confused.

However, under the threat of the soldiers, the magistrate obtained the memorial as quickly as possible, and then under Yang Feng's gloomy gaze, Kong Yinzhi tremblingly wrote the memorial to Chongzhen. As for the content, of course it was completely in accordance with Yang Feng's wishes. He disturbed the Confucius Temple by building captives. In order to avoid this disaster again, he summoned capable Confucian scholars from all over Shandong as Yan Shenggong to guard the tomb of Confucius. Because all of us are riding and shooting in Confucian uniform, we asked Chongzhen to give him the name Knight, and to make it easier to give orders, we formed an order of knights. Since they were all disciples of Confucius and Mencius, we asked Chongzhen to give him the name Knights of Confucius and Mencius, which was derived from the Holy Duke Confucius. After becoming the Saint of Confucius, Yinzhi asked himself to be the Grand Master of the Knights of Confucius and Mencius.

After writing the memorial, Duke Yansheng stamped his seal and presented it pitifully to Yang Feng.

Yang Feng took it and looked at it with satisfaction.

Then he blew on the ink and closed the memorial, turned around and handed it to Du Li...

"Send it to Juzhou. Please ask Jing Zhizhou to send it to the capital five hundred miles away as soon as possible."

Du Li immediately left with the memorial in his hands.

"Then, everyone, please ask our grand leader to take us to worship Saint Confucius. From now on, this Dacheng Hall will be the headquarters of our Knights of Confucius and Mencius, and these captives will be our sacrifices to Saint Confucius.

Sacrifice your blood to the God of Learning, and sacrifice your head to the Confucian throne! "

Yang Feng drew his sword and shouted.

Of course, no one cares much about the latter sentence.

In fact, these scholars were happy and didn't care what he said. The reason for their happiness was definitely not that they had the opportunity to serve the country and fight for Kong Sheng. In fact, there was only one real reason for these guys to follow Yang Feng and fool around. …

"Grand Commander, you have to pay for this military expense. This is what you spent on the three thousand cavalry before. It's 200,000 taels. You should repay it as soon as possible."

Just when Yang Feng drew his sword and shouted, Qin Xu took an account book and handed it to Kong Yinzhi with a smile.

The latter froze for a moment.

Suddenly, as if he was going crazy, he pushed Qin Xu away with all his strength, and then fell in the direction Du Li left...

"Come back, I won't do it anymore!"

He screamed heartbreakingly.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Qin Xuan and a group of scholars from the surrounding counties of Qufu all laughed.
