"What did you say?"

Hong Chengchou's eyes were as big as a bull's eyes, and his mouth was wide open, and the soldiers who came to report all saw the letter at first sight.

But Hong Chengchou didn't care about his demeanor. He was full of noisy mind and was stupid.

God! Zheng Zhilong really wants to break the sky.

He also ran a prison car to blackmail the Kong family (Guo Sheng), but also confiscated the Kong family's old man (Jiang Zhe). Now he used a prison car to send Kong Yinzhi and others to Jinling, and there was a sign of "Three Family Slaves" in the prison car. This was to put the Kong family in Qufu and still couldn't relieve their hatred. He still had to continue pressing it with his feet.

Hong Chengchou could no longer imagine how Jiangnan would react after hearing this news.

For the first time, he felt that he was not smart enough.

Putting Wang Tingchen, who has a relatively gentle personality in Ziyang is a bit of care for Qufu. Even after receiving the letter from Wang Tingchen, Hong Chengchou did not blame him in his heart.

After all, the Zheng family has great favors to them. Zheng Zhilong just drove Guo Sheng to make money from the Kong family in Qufu, which is not harmful.

I'll just take this as a favor to Zheng Zhilong.

Later news also confirmed his speculation that Wang Tingchen received 100,000 taels of silver and 10,000 stones of grain and rice for free. Wang Tingchen was quite convinced of Hong Chengchou and did not hide the spoils. But because of his failure to hide, Hong Chengchou felt distressed when he saw the real number.

If Guo Sheng said it was Zheng Zhilong's white glove, even if he had to thank Wang Tingchen, he would not have been so ruined. There must be a reason for this.

Sure enough, he thought so in his heart, and felt uneasy, so he immediately sent someone to visit Ziyang City. The man left Xuzhou City and sent the third urgent report from Wang Tingchen, the back-legged man. Zheng Zhilong had a backup plan. Jiang Zhe not only destroyed Guo Sheng, but also directly copied Qufu City.

All the famous families of the Kong family, Zeng family, Lu family, and Qufu were confiscated.

Wang Tingchen was stunned when he received the news, and what else can Hong Chengchou do now? He was helpless when he heard the news. But he also thought that the matter ended here.

Zheng Zhilong has done too much, right?

As long as you communicate well in all aspects, you may not be able to overwhelm the influence. Is there a Kong family in Quzhou? Just enter the southern clan in the north.

As a result, Wang Tingchen sent another fourth urgent report, which made Hong Chengchou completely confused.

Zheng Zhilong has made such a move, and who in the world will not know? This has a great impact and is too bad. There are too many ways to take advantage of the issue here. It will definitely cause an uproar.

That will not only involve Shilin, but also the world.

Hong Chengchou had never thought that Zheng Zhilong planned to open another road now. He just thought about the recent academic disputes in Shilin, which was enough to mess up.

Both Ming and Qing dynasties were the leaders of Neo-Confucianism. In the impression of later generations, Neo-Confucianism, like the eight-legged article, was completely firm and unshakable. It was a master of mind learning like Wang Yangming who promoted the temporary development of Mind learning, and that did not fundamentally touch the absolute hegemony of Neo-Confucianism.

But the fact is that the impact of Yangming on Neo-Confucianism was not until many years after Wang Yangming's death.

Whether it is the Seven Schools of Wang Xue, the Wang Sect School in Zhejiang, the Taizhou School, and even the heretic Li Zhi, they are very influential in the world during this period.

How did Li Zhi's several works evaluate in the scholars? They are all crazy, perverse, non-sage, and cannot be saints. They criticize Confucius, Mencius, Confucianism, and Taoism, and have established other praises and criticisms. All good and evil passed down from generation to generation are reversed and relocated, especially those who cannot be punished for crimes. His books can be destroyed, but their names are not enough to deceive bamboo slips. Zhi's big statements are used to deceive the world. To this day, the local rulings are shook their reputations. If they are ignored, they may harm people's hearts, so they will only keep their eyes and expose their crimes deeply...

But it was banned several times and could not be done. There are new engravings on the market every few years.

Also, because the country's power was declining in the late Ming Dynasty, the war was defeated one after another, and the national strength declined. When people were weak, they would reflect on how they were from strong to weak. This also provided a social foundation for the Shilin academic community to stir up trouble.

The simple style of learning that opposes empty talk, emphasizes practice, emphasizes practicality, and emphasizes practicality, and emphasizes practicality. Some oppose special governance, advocates restricting imperial power, and even puts forward the idea of ​​"no father or king, killing father or king" and other words, is also brewing.

When the world is in chaos, various social contradictions are colliding, and the literati's minds are always very active during this period.

Hong Chengchou had a good understanding of this matter, and understood that after the court moved south, the call for emphasis on history and over classics (it could not be considered light, it only increased the status of history and a little bit). The call for opposing empty talk in Neo-Confucianism, anti-Song Confucianism and Taoism, advocating the study of merit, advocating the practice of doing things, and advocating the use of practice in the world is getting higher and higher.

This is the same as the fact that after the establishment of the Southern Song Dynasty in history, people like Chen Liang also appeared among the Song people. (Advocate the study of merits)

They all want to strengthen themselves and strengthen themselves after taking enough pain in the face of bloody facts, which triggers great reflection on the past.

The difference is that Chen Liang was "small and weak" at that time, but now there are a group of people in the Shilin City who are fighting and killing Neo-Confucianism.

Of course, it is just a verbal dispute between scholars, just like the distinction between kings, dominance, righteousness and profit between Chen Liang and Zhu Xi. As long as the essence of society is not touched, it will not have a substantial impact.

The three major brainstorms in history in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, whether they were Wang Fuzhi, Gu Yanwu, or Huang Zongxi, advocated restricting imperial power and opposing monarchy. But is there another bird for it?

The Qing Dynasty, who was in charge of the world, continued to use Neo-Confucianism and eight-legged articles. No matter how radical your thoughts are, it lacks the opportunity to realize theories.

However, what Hong Chengchou could affirm was that as long as the affairs of Kong Yinzhi and others were spread to Jiangnan, they would definitely provide a large number of real guns and ammunitions to the Yangming School sects.

If there is really a stir, not only the Shilin will move, but the court will not sit idly by.

Otherwise, how could Li Zhi commit suicide in prison? He Xinyin died under the slander of Huguang Governor Wang Zhiyuan. This may even affect the current plan of the Northern Expedition!

After Hong Chengchou came to his senses, he was worried about gains and losses. But he hoped that this Northern Expedition would make a contribution again, and he could not tolerate others' destruction.

But thinking about what Wang Tingchen said, Zheng Zhilong sent hundreds of people to closely monitor him day and night. Apart from being scattered, he really couldn't think of any way to save Kong Yinzhi and the others.

But even Emperor Chongzhen would never want to see it.

Zheng Zhilong doesn't care about this.

He has now arrived in Changle, the Qing army gathered in Yidu, and Zheng Zhibao has led his troops to the city. Hundreds of cannons of all sizes are bombarded day and night. Zheng Zhibao has no tricks in this battle, but he only relies on his hard power to fight.

Haoge has many Tartar vests in his hands, and the Tartars have absolute advantages in cavalry. This is also the biggest reason why Zheng Zhibao dared not take advantage of tricks.

However, how big is Qingzhou in total? The city wall is three meter-6 feet high, one meter-eight feet thick, thirteen miles and 108 steps long, and there are 1,777 battlements in total.

In terms of the size of China's city, Qingzhou City is an absolutely solid city.

Haoge is in hand, and the Linzi is not far away. There is also the Qilu Green Camp of Zukefa. In addition to the Eight Banners soldiers under Haoge, there are also Liu Zeqing's 20,000 Green Camp soldiers, and the army is not short of food. It can be said that Haoge is confident to fight the Zheng army here first.

The only thing he didn't expect was that Zheng Zhilong's army actually threw so many artillery into Qingzhou.

However, the red cannons of the Qing army of Qi and Lu have already gone west with Duoduo.

After the brief confrontation between the two armies of artillery at the beginning, the only few artillery pieces of the Qing army were destroyed, and they were in a situation where they were only beaten but not fight back.

After several days of bombardment, when Zheng Zhilong arrived at the front line, the four walls on Qingzhou had been destroyed.

Especially the East City Wall, not only the Haidai Gate (East Gate) city tower was collapsed early, but even the Kuixing Tower in the southeast corner of the city was bombarded with only a pile of ruins.

There is a scene in Qingzhou. The so-called "Nan Building Night Rain" is this building. Scholars always worship Kuixing in Kuixing Tower before the imperial examination, praying to be on the list of the imperial examinations. They are considered one of the landmark buildings of Qingzhou Ancient City.

Although the shells had not yet collapsed the Qingzhou city wall, the battlements on the wall and the female wall were almost wiped out, leaving only a bare city head. The Qing army's situation was quite bad.

None of the green flag soldiers who were originally covered with the city were seen.

He went to die for nothing. Although Haoge did not take the Green Flag soldiers seriously, he was not so squandered.

Besides, he had to worry about the morale of the Green Flag soldiers. No matter whether Liu Zeqing's troops could fight or not, they were all the flags they recruited in Qilu and accepted rebellion.

Zheng army could use muskets to directly suppress the city. When Zheng Zhilong arrived, Zheng Zhibao was moving the artillery front line, and the front of the army directly forced the area about fifty feet below Qingzhou City.

A large number of soldiers and Ding Zhuang were working hard to build the fortress. Although the ground was frozen and hard, it was heated with fire and still repaired fortifications!

The first-line military fortress (and the city wall) is fifty feet away, and a mile later, the front-line military camp is about one mile - the original artillery position, and then the upper mile is the camp established by the Zheng army at the four gates.

The layout with a very layered sense of arrangement is completely bullying the Qing army in the city without cannons.

There are only two platoons of musketeers stationed in each soldier fort, but with a few large and small cannons, this can become a tough and hard bone. Several such soldier fortresses are arranged outside each gate. It is difficult for the Tartars in the city to break through, and the gates are blocked.

Moreover, the shells were all hot bombs. In the big pots where fire carbon was burning, four or five red solid bombs were preparing. The mortar cannon was also exerting force, and under the cover of the shield car, they had directly rushed to the city, and sent the flowering bullets into Qingzhou as fast as possible.

"Boom boom boom boom--"
