During the Yanzhou War, the Kong family was already in chaos.
All the prominent figures in each house and courtyard ran to the main courtyard to seek advice.
"Our Kong family has been here for thousands of years, and there have been many strong men and emperors. Who dares to be disrespectful to me, the Kong family? Let me tell you, there is no need to panic. You are just a rebel, how dare you disobey the reputation of my ancestors of the Kong family?"
Kong Yinzhu’s voice is very high, and he also represents the opinions of a large number of people.
"I heard that the Dongjiang rebels killed all the dogs and chickens of Heng Fan and De Fan. They were all unlearned and unskilled beasts. What if..."
But there are also those who are afraid and just want to escape.
"Whoever wants to leave, who can leave? This is the place where my Kong family thrives and is protected by our holy ancestors. Even if we die, as a descendant of the Kong family, we must protect the safety of our ancestors' tombs."
Kong Yinzhu was impassioned and engaged in moral kidnapping, which made everyone frown.
On the main seat, the descendant Kong Yinzhi was very worried.
He came back from the capital.
Chongzhen didn't think much of the Kong family, so he appointed him a minor official and dismissed him.
Not only that, he also often investigated the Kong family's fields, causing him to plead guilty repeatedly.
Seeing that flattering was useless, Kong Yinzhi simply resigned and returned to his one-third of an acre of land to become a local emperor.
Unexpectedly, the local emperor is now gone too.
The Dongjiang Rebellion is coming, and how the Kong family should respond is being hyped up by the clan members, with very different opinions.
From a fundamental point of view, Kong Yinzhi wanted to run.
He is a dignified descendant, and there is no need to compete with a group of rude and brutal rebels. What is left is useful, and the rest is vain.
But the problem is that the Kong family has lasted too long.
In the history of thousands of years, I don’t know how many people have been born. So much so that as a derivative of him, there is no accurate number.
Not counting those who have long since been ruined and those who have left far away, there are tens of thousands of people who can speak in Qufu alone.
These people have great status in the family and speak with great weight.
Even if he is a derivative, he still has to worry about what everyone wants.
Seeing the two sides arguing fiercely and still unable to reach an agreement, he had to say: "Okay, this is a serious matter. We will think about it after each family returns. No matter what, the continuation of our Kong family is greater than anything else. Who? If you forget this, don’t blame me for being unkind.”
Everyone dispersed in a hurry, and there will definitely still be noisy after returning home.
Kong Yinzhi left Kong Yinzhu behind, and there were no outsiders, so there was no need to be polite.
"Are you confused? What is most important to our Kong family? Of course it's people. As long as we are still here, the Kong family will not fall. If the Dongjiang rebels come and kill us all, wouldn't this huge foundation be completely destroyed? destroyed?"
Kong Yinzhu tilted his body and just sneered.
"All the saints in the past generations have set an example for me, Kong, to seek benefits and blessings for me, Kong. But my eldest brother has been a good saint, watching his family being bullied, and enjoying his glory and wealth with peace of mind."
Kong Yinzhi was furious.
"Why don't you understand the situation? Why didn't I try it when I was in the capital? Your Majesty is protecting Zuo Mengeng, what can I do?"
Kong Yinzhu just didn't listen.
"The most deceitful person in the world, the dignified Duke, can't even deal with a small general."
Kong Yinzhi's face turned red and he reprimanded: "What are you talking about? Your Majesty has long been dissatisfied with my Kong family, and you are not afraid of causing trouble?"
Kong Yin scratched his neck and his eyes became even redder.
"Every day when I see my son lingering on his sick bed, I wish I could cut Zuo Mengeng into pieces with a thousand knives."
During the conflict that day, Kong Yinzhu's son's legs were broken by Zuo Hua. He never recovered and became disabled.
This made Kong Yinzhu heartbroken, and he only wanted to seek revenge from Zuo Mengeng.
You must know that Kong Yinzhi's son was frail and sickly, and he did not look like he would live long. Kong Yinzhu was still thinking that their branch might be able to inherit the position of the descendant in the future.
Seeing that this younger brother couldn't explain anything, Kong Yinzhi almost went crazy.
Fortunately, a servant rushed in crawling on his feet.
"Young Master, Second Master, the Dongjiang thieves...are here to kill you! The county magistrate asks you to think of a solution quickly."
Kong Yinzhi and Kong Yinzhu were shocked at the same time. They did not expect that the Dongjiang rebels would really dare to invade Qufu.
They quickly ran to the city wall.
Kong Shoushan, the magistrate of Qufu County, was already on the city wall. Looking at the overwhelming army outside the city, he had no idea.
Seeing Kong Yinzhi running towards him, he finally caught the backbone.
"Holy Duke, what should we do?"
Kong Yinzhi glanced outside the city and couldn't help but tremble.
There were so many cannons, and their muzzles were pointed at the city wall.
He made up his mind quickly.
"Instruct all families to gather their young men and defend the city to the death. Tell every family that the inheritance of our ancestors cannot be lost and we will fight against these rebellions."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
"I'll go back and gather my family now, and I'll be here shortly."
Kong Shoushan was very excited and yelled: "Why are you still standing there? The Holy Duke sets an example. Whoever dares to run away from the enemy will be severely punished."
The entire Qufu County was mobilized, and many people were driven up the city wall even though they were scared to death.
Where is Kong Yinzhi?
"Brother, do you really want to hold on?"
Seeing Kong Yinzhi leaving in a hurry, Kong Yinzhu was scared to death again.
Kong Yinzhi rolled his eyes at him.
"You are also stupid. How can you hold on with these rabble? Go back quickly and pack up your belongings. Let's go to the mountains to take shelter. The Kong family is the biggest. As long as you and I are safe and sound, the Kong family is not afraid of damage."
Kong Yinzhu was overjoyed. He and Kong Yinzhi returned home, hastily packed up their valuable belongings, and then slipped away from the east city gate with their family members.
No one greeted them, so many Kong clan members stood stupidly at the top of the city, thinking that Yan Shengong would live and die with them.
"fire!"
At the foot of Qufu City, looking at the frightened people in the city, Kong Youde smiled ferociously.
Thirty-two cannons roared together and immediately shattered the city wall. The Kong clan members, who had no combat experience, suffered eight or nine hundred casualties from just one artillery fire.
In the east of the city, hearing the roar of artillery fire, Kong Yinzhi and Kong Yinzhu were even more frightened.
"Go quickly, don't stay."
A group of people were like bereaved dogs, rushing towards Nishan Mountain.
No one noticed that in the dense forest next to them, there were more than 300 cavalry staring at them eagerly.
The leading general was blind in one eye, which made him even more ferocious.
"I've been waiting for this day for a long time."
After the general murmured to himself, he ordered: "Kill them, don't kill them all."
The cavalry received the order, put on their visors, beat their horses one after another, rushed out of the dense forest, and rushed towards the Kong family's team.
The sudden attack immediately caused chaos in the Kong family, and many timid servants turned around and ran away.
But the arrows rained down like a waterfall, shooting them to death one by one.
Kong Yinzhu stuck his head out of the carriage, looked at the ferocious cavalry rushing towards him, and immediately collapsed.
"I am...I am..."
"What a bastard, your grandma is a bastard!"
The cavalryman who arrived immediately cursed fiercely and brandished his sword at the same time.
The arrogant Mr. Xian did not believe until his death that his life was over.
The servant ran away, and Kong Yinzhu hurriedly rushed the carriage, hoping to escape from this hell.
But how could he, a pampered old man, know how to drive a carriage?
No matter how much he beat and cursed, the horse pulling the cart would not move at all.
Kong Yin was sweating profusely and desperate.
At this moment, the general rushed closer with his cavalry.
Seeing that it was him, the general swung the whip in his hand, caught him and threw him directly to the ground.
"Ouch……"
Kong Yinzhu's ribs were broken several times and he screamed miserably.
"father!"
Kong Yinzhu's son was lying at the car window, eyes wide open when he saw his miserable condition. Then when he saw the general's appearance, he couldn't help but feel like he was dead.
"you you you……"
Not allowing him to continue, a cavalryman slammed into him with a spear, piercing him and his carriage.
"son!"
Kong Yinzhu shouted in despair and wanted to pounce on him, but the general stepped forward on his horse, raised his horse's hoof high, and kicked him on the head.
Kong Yinzhu's voice stopped suddenly and he fell softly to the ground.
In the last moment of his life, he only saw his wife, concubines, children and grandchildren all lying in a pool of blood, and none of them survived.
