Kong Yinzhi is ready to run!
We have packed up all the gold, silver and soft goods, and summoned 500 strong men to protect us, ready to leave at nightfall...
But before it gets dark, Shi Kefa, the "legal thief" who has killed a thousand swords, comes with his own soldiers!
Now the defenders in the main city of Qufu are Shi Kefa's 5,000 supervisors and Kong Yinzhi's 5,000 Kong family soldiers. Although there were almost the same number of people on both sides, Shi Kefa's supervision was the regular army. Liu Zhaoji, who was born in the Liao Army, and Shi Kefa's adopted son Shi Dewei were responsible for the training for almost a year... Although it was not as hard training as "997", it was Daily exercise is still guaranteed. This training level is not comparable to that of the Kong family soldiers!
If a fight really breaks out, the soldiers of the Kong family will not be able to resist...
Moreover, what did Kong Yinzhi want to do after he merged with Shi Kefa? Surrender to the Tatars? He scolded his ancestors for eighteen generations, and even slandered the Tartars for coming to defeat Confucius. How dare he be called a traitor?
Maybe Dorgon wouldn't kill him publicly in order to win over the world's scholars, but feeding him some poison or something, isn't that a trivial matter?
How could he be willing to take Tatar poison if he was so afraid of death?
If you don't surrender to the Tatars, how can you go to Jiangnan? If he kidnapped Shi Kefa and then went to Jiangnan, wouldn't he be sending himself to death?
"Oh, why is there no way to survive?"
Kong Yinzhi sighed and slumped down on an imperial chair, his old face almost twisted into a ball.
"There is a way to survive! How come there is no way to survive?" Shi Kefa smiled, "Qufu City has many strong soldiers and enough food for more than a year and a half. Moreover, there are 100,000 regiments trained by Gao Futai and Zuo Tuanlian who can come to help at any time.
We only need to hold on to Qufu for a few months. When the veterans of the division are tired, Gao Futai and Zuo Tuanlian will naturally lead troops to fight the captives. We should cooperate internally and externally, but are we afraid that we will not win? "
Can you still win? Those are Tatars! Hong Chengchou couldn't win, how could you, Shi Kefa, win?
Kong Yinzhi didn’t believe it! But he couldn't leave now, so he had to deal with Shi Kefa and said: "Have Zhijun contacted Gao Futai and Zuo Tuanlian?"
Shi Kefa stroked his beard and felt very proud, "We have already made contact! This governor has made an appointment with Gao Futai and Zuo Tuanlian for half a year. As long as the Tatars can't siege Qufu for half a year, they will lead their troops to help... .Now they have a total of no less than 100,000 team members on hand. The training will be completed in half a year, which is enough to fight the Tatars!
With the Jintang City of Qufu, it can be defended in half a year, right? The Tatars have been attacking Qufu for more than half a year. Are the veterans of this division tired? With exhausted soldiers facing tens of thousands of fresh troops trained by Gao Futai and Zuo Tuan, are they still afraid of defeat? "
As he talked about his plan, Shi Kefa couldn't help but start to admire himself - after all, he was a minister who knew the military and had been the Minister of the Ministry of War in Nanjing!
It's a pity. If the emperor had let him go to Beijing earlier, why would we be in today's situation?
"I hope so!" Kong Yinzhi sighed, but he still didn't give up the idea of escape, but he didn't dare to show it.
However, his thoughts could not escape Shi Kefa's eyes. Grand Superintendent Shi squinted his eyes and looked at Duke Yansheng carefully, wondering whether he wanted to bury the scenery...
At this time, Shi Kefa's adopted son Shi Dewei came in in a hurry. After meeting Shi Kefa and Kong Yinzhi, he bowed first and then said: "Most of the Ye Bushou sent to the south and east of the city were driven back... ....The Tatar cavalry has circled to the southeast of Qufu and blocked our retreat!"
It's over...
Kong Yinzhi burst into tears. This time, he had no place to run, so he had no choice but to hold on in Qufu!
After hearing the news, Shi Kefa also gave up the idea of burying Kong Yinzhi in a grand ceremony, and said with a smile: "Isn't it just some small groups of Tatars? What is there to be afraid of? Sir, I have some military affairs. I'll take my leave now, and you can just wait for the good news!"
How did Kong Yinzhi know that he was almost "famous"? He was still complaining about those damn Tatar cavalry. Why did he go around to the southeast of Qufu for nothing? Don't you know that "three are missing and one is missing" when besieging a city? They were all surrounded, and the defenders gave up...
In fact, both Shi Kefa and Kong Yinzhi misunderstood the intentions of the Qing soldiers. Duduo sent cavalry around the southeast of Qufu not to cut off Shi Kefa and Kong Yinzhi's retreat. He sent people to find "leeks".
This fight all the way really made Duduo very angry, and all the "leeks" ran away! I didn't meet many living people along the way... Of course, not all the Han people in the west of Yanzhou Prefecture had fled. There were still many Han people in Caozhou, Dingtao, Juye, and Jiaxiang. But they are not "leeks", but armed thugs! They were divided into two groups. One was the team led by Li Huajing, Liu Zeqing's old subordinate, who used Caozhou City as a stronghold to fight against the Qing army.
Li Huajing and Liu Zeqing were both local snakes in the west of Yanzhou Prefecture, and most of the backbone of their troops came from the vicinity of Caozhou, which can be said to be deeply rooted. After acquiring the territory in the west of Yanzhou, Li Huajing also imitated the method of defeating the guards and used the land in the prefectures and counties under his jurisdiction to recruit strong men. In a few days, he had already obtained tens of thousands of Shandong heroes.
Another group was originally an anti-thief, that is, an insurrectionary army under the banner of Li Zicheng. It was led by a hero named Gong Wencai and gathered 20,000 people. It was based on a low hill called "Manjiadong" in Jiaxiang County. The stronghold controls a lot of surrounding territory. Because these territories were allotted to Li Huajing by Zhu Cixiang, he and Li Huajing had conflicts and fought several battles, with the outcome difficult to determine. Later, it was Li Yan who sent the Red Lady to mediate and assigned the three counties of Jiaxiang, Yuncheng, and Juye to Gong Wencai, and made Gong Wencai nominally obey Li Huajing, and even bowed to Li Huajing, so that the struggle between the two sides was settled.
After Li Huajing and Gong Wencai joined forces, the territory in western Yanzhou became very difficult. They were all armed thugs. Although they were miscellaneous, the Qing Dynasty's green soldiers really couldn't defeat them.
Duduo could not spare the Eight Banners soldiers to deal with these thugs for the time being, so he had to send people to the southeast of Qufu to capture Cao Ding - he had to recruit people to help dig trenches to surround the city of Qufu! And we have to recruit more people!
Because the scale of Qufu City was much larger than previously known, the workload of digging trenches also increased greatly.
The Qing army knew that there was Qufu City before, but they did not know that there were nine forts outside the city. These nine forts were placed more than 200 steps away from the gun platform of Qufu City, which was equivalent to expanding the scope of Qufu City. Five or six hundred meters! To encircle such a large area with trenches, the amount of work was several times larger than originally expected, and more than 20 miles of trenches would have to be dug.
How long will it take for the three traitors Liu Liangzuo, Xu Dingguo, and Wu Weihua to dig the trench?
In addition, the tens of thousands of troops under Duduo need supplies. When he and He Luohui met in Linqing Prefecture, their total strength was about 45,000. About 10,000 people were left behind along the way, and another 35,000 were brought to Qufu City, which is not a small number. But they didn't bring much food and grass - except for the fact that they had to bring enough supplies when marching on the grassland, the Qing army usually grabbed whatever they could when they sent troops.
But this time Duduo sent troops to Shandong, he encountered unprecedented trouble-the "leeks" had all run away, where could they go to grab food?
Without food, how long can his army of 30,000 to 40,000 men stay under the walls of Qufu? They even gathered around to call for help. They were starving to death!
Just as Duduo sent a cavalry team to catch "leeks" and grab grain in the southeast of Qufu, he also began to observe the situation of Qufu's city defense.
This was a city he had never seen before. There was a big city in the middle, with nine "corners" like the sun. Each of the nine corners faced a round fort made of sacks filled with earth.
"Cao Zhenyan, can your Hongyi cannon destroy those round forts?"
Standing on a van that had been converted from a vehicle, Duduo looked at it with a monocular telescope for a long time. Duduo turned around and asked Cao Zhenyan, Niu Lu of the Han Army Artillery Team at Zhengbai Banner.
"Go back to the master," Cao Zhenyan said confidently, "This slave has brought ten red cannons, which are enough to level those earth forts piled with sacks."
"Okay!" Duduo nodded and pointed to the round fort in front of him, "Then I'll give you one day to use ten Hongyi cannons to blow up this round fort. Nikan, also known as Qufu, knows that our Qing Dynasty The artillery team is awesome!”
"twitter!"
