The room goes through the late Ming Dynasty, and the back door leads to North America at the beginni

The public trial of Kong Xingxie and other people in power in the direct lineage and close branches of the Confucius family lasted for two hours in front of the Confucius Temple before it was completed.

At the end of the trial, the emotions of the people of Qufu who came to watch the public trial were aroused. Many low-level people who had been bullied and even tortured like Kong Dagou came forward to accuse many masters and young masters of the direct and immediate descendants of the Kong family. offense.

If the officers and soldiers of the Yi army had not stopped them, it is very likely that these excited and angry people would have rushed to the public hearing platform and tore Kong Xingxie and others to pieces.

Even if this incident did not happen, Kong Heung-seop and the few other Kong family members who were publicly tried and their criminal family members were still so frightened that they peed their pants and collapsed on the stage.

In the end, Kong Xingxie, Kong Xingde and other Kong family leaders who had committed serious crimes were either beheaded or hanged on the spot, or sentenced to hard labor under the trial of the Yi army.

In short, no one has a good ending.

As for the properties of these people, they will naturally be confiscated by the Yi army.

However, the Second Division of the Sixth Brigade led by Qu Xiaofeng, as the vanguard of the Northern Expedition in Da'ei, had a heavy task and did not have time to stay in Qufu for too long.

So the day after the public trial ended, Qu Xiaofeng held a small military meeting.

Because Gao Jin took the initiative to surrender to Wei with elite soldiers and a lot of gold and silver, and also provided many useful clues for the Wei army to investigate the Kong family, he had made a lot of achievements, so he was invited to participate in this meeting.

"Most of our second brigade will leave this morning and continue the northern expedition with the division. As for Qufu, we can only leave one battalion to temporarily garrison, responsible for defending the city while continuing to inspect the Kong family's property.

In a few days, garrison troops from other places will come to take over the garrison task in Qufu, and the standing army battalion left behind will also withdraw.

During the few days that the standing army of this battalion stayed behind, I hope that Commander Gao can complete the formation of the Qufu Garrison Regiment as soon as possible, train it as soon as possible, and then act according to orders. "

As General of Damei Zhenbei and the vanguard general of the Northern Expedition, Peng Youyi has the right to appoint temporary generals of the garrison and civilian bravery. As long as he submits subsequent reports and is recognized by the Military Council, these temporary military positions can generally be converted into regular positions.

Gao Jin continued to perform meritorious service, so Qu Xiaofeng first offered him the position of leader of the Qufu Guard Corps from Peng Youyi.

This person has a big feud with the Kong family in Qufu. It is most suitable to garrison Qufu in the current period to prevent the former leader of the Kong family from acting like a monster.

After instructing Gao Jin to build up the security regiment, Qu Xiaofeng said to the battalion commander and battalion military officers who were temporarily staying in Qufu: "The gendarmerie, propaganda team and special logistics team of the division have all been stationed in Qufu, which shows that they attach great importance to checking the Kong family's property. .

If you stay and take charge of this matter, you must be careful and cautious to avoid corruption, which will ruin the reputation of our Sixth Brigade. "

The battalion commander immediately saluted with a military salute and said loudly: "Don't worry, brigade, we will never embarrass the Sixth Brigade. If such a scum does appear, I will be the first to hand him over to the military police!"

Qu Xiaofeng nodded, "Just keep the strings in your hearts tight."

Gao Jin watched from the sidelines and couldn't help but secretly sigh, "This is the real rebel army, the real elite." '

Compared with the Da'ei standing army in front of him, the elite Shunjun old battalion he had seen was nothing.

Then he couldn't help but wonder how elegant the personal guards in Da'ei's army were, which were more elite than the standing army.

···

Because Qufu is the hometown of Confucius, where the Confucius Temple and Confucius Forest are located, the Yi army delayed a brigade here for several days.

Elsewhere, every time the Tai army entered a city, it would take at most two days to move forward and attack other cities. Sometimes they even "break the city" and leave on the same day.

Therefore, when the Sixth Brigade led by Qu Xiaofeng held public trials in Qufu for those guilty of the direct lineage and recent branches of the Kong family, the Yi army did not stop attacking cities and plundering territory in Yanzhou and Qingzhou.

In just over ten days, Yanzhou Prefecture and Qingzhou Prefecture were almost completely captured by the Yi army. Even Jinan Prefecture and Dongchang Prefecture were also captured by the Yi army in small parts.

The reason why the Wei army attacked the city so quickly was naturally because the Shun troops in many places simply abandoned the city and left; or perhaps the former Ming officials who surrendered saw the arrival of the Wei army and immediately rebelled and surrendered to Wei.

In short, the Second Division, as the vanguard of the Da'ei Northern Expedition, has not experienced many battles in the past half month, and there are almost no stubborn enemies.

Under such circumstances, if the Second Division is still struggling to capture the city and the progress is slow, Peng Youyi will be embarrassed to see Liu Sheng...

On November 21, the first year of the Qianyuan year of Dayei, the emperor arrived at Liaocheng, Dongchang Prefecture.

"Your Majesty, Peng Youyi, comes to see you!"

Outside Liaocheng, in front of the headquarters camp of the Second Division, Peng Youyi was about to bow to Liu Sheng as he spoke.

Liu Sheng raised his hand to support him and said with a smile: "Since we are in the army, we can just give him a military salute."

"Yes!"

Peng Youyi responded loudly, then put his right fist on his left chest and performed a formal military salute.

Immediately, Liu Sheng led the bodyguards into the headquarters camp of the Second Division. While walking, he learned from Peng Youyi about the latest battle situation of the Northern Expedition - although Peng Youyi had previously sent fast horses to deliver battle reports to Ruyang every day, and the Ruyang telecommunications team It was forwarded to the Nanjing telecommunications team and the military telecommunications team following Liu Sheng, but there was a delay of more than a day in the middle.

"Currently, except for Caozhou, all other prefectures and counties in Yanzhou Prefecture have been captured or taken over by our army. In addition to Gaoyuan, Boxing, and Le'an in the north of Qingzhou Prefecture, the other prefectures and counties have also belonged to Dawei.

On the Jinan Prefecture side, we have only captured Feicheng, Tai'an Prefecture, Xintai, and Laiwu; on the Dongchang Prefecture side, we only captured Liaocheng yesterday. "

Liu Sheng nodded slightly after hearing this.

After all, the Second Division has limited troops. It can capture almost the entire Yanzhou and Qingzhou in half a month, which is considered to have overfulfilled the task.

Even if Liu Sheng does not come, in half a month, the Second Division will explode with stronger combat effectiveness - because in just one month, the Yanzhou, Qingzhou Ming Army, and Shun Army that were collected and trained by the Second Division will become a large force. The Shandong garrison and the people are brave.

By then, these local garrison troops and civilian warriors will not only be responsible for defending the city, but also helping to attack the city. The second division can attack the city very quickly.

But now that Liu Sheng has arrived, the progress of the Yi army's Northern Expedition will immediately accelerate.

This time, Liu Sheng brought two brigades each of the Guards' Tiger Guards and Shengjie Guards, one brigade of Xiaoqi Guards, and a Nanjing Garrison Division!

A total of eight brigades, a hundred thousand troops!

Moreover, most of this 100,000-strong army came from the Guards. They were the first-class elites of Damei, and their combat power was astonishing.

This power is enough to determine the situation in the north.

Therefore, after inspecting the Second Division Headquarters Camp, Liu Sheng held a military meeting in the newly established Guards Camp tent.

"After Li Zicheng was defeated in Shanhaiguan, he abandoned the capital and fled westward on the second day after returning to the capital.

However, because they were reluctant to part with the massive gold and silver treasures confiscated from the capital, the main force moved slowly and was overtaken by Wu Sangui and the Qing captive cavalry several times.

Li Zicheng had no choice but to cut off his tail to survive, leaving his generals and some of his troops behind several times to cut off the rear.

It is reported that his generals Luo Hu, Gu Kecheng, Ma Shiyao, and Bai Minghe were all defeated in the Battle of Duanhou. In this case, Shunjun would naturally not defend any more cities.

According to the latest information sent back by Xunfengwei, Qinglu had already occupied the main cities of Yongping Prefecture and Shuntian Prefecture a few days ago. Naturally, this also includes the former capital of the Ming Dynasty, Beijing.

As for the main force of the Shun army led by Li Zicheng, the Xuanfu has almost retreated into Shanxi, and it should have escaped the pursuit of the Qing captives.

In my opinion, this should be because the Qing captives did not use all the troops entering the pass to pursue the Shun army. Otherwise, it would not be easy for the Shun Army to retreat from Xuanfu into Shanxi.

In addition, judging from the behavior of the Qing captives who entered the pass several times before, their vanguard cavalry may have entered Baoding Prefecture or even Hejian Prefecture at this time. "

At the end, Liu Sheng specifically pointed to the locations of Baoding and Hejian on the large map in the tent.

As can be seen from the map, Baoding Prefecture is to the southwest of Shuntian Prefecture, and Hejian Prefecture is to the south.

All the generals can see that if the Qing captives continue to penetrate deep into the pass, they will inevitably go to Baoding and Hejian.

Since the Qing captives gave up the Shun army carrying massive gold and silver treasures, they will inevitably continue to go deep into the pass and attempt to rob more gold and silver treasures, grain livestock, young people, etc.

"According to the current trend, our army is likely to have a battle with the Qing captives in Hejian Prefecture, or Dongchang and Jinan Prefectures. Everyone, tell me, what do you think about this?"
