Li Hong smiled and said, "King De is hiding in the solid Jinan city, and there are barbarians who are guarding it. Only Prince Yuetuo dares to attack King De. We have only such people, can we fight Jinan?"

"Then who else is the richest besides King De?" asked Manzhu Xili.

Li Hong induced: "Manzhu learned the rituals and Taiji. In fact, there is someone nearby who is absolutely rich enough to rival a country. It can even be said that he is richer than King De! Because his Lord was not affected by the change of dynasties, it has been passed down from generation to generation since the Song Dynasty. The Dajin founded by the Jurchens back then, he obtained the title from the Dajin; we Mongolians founded the Dayuan, and he obtained the Lord from our Majesty Kublai Khan! Our Dayuan sincerely hired him as the imperial teacher. However, this person did not know how to repay his kindness, but instead surrendered to Zhu Yuanzhang when Zhu Yuanzhang rose!"

Man Zhu Xili suddenly realized: "I know who it is! It's Yan Shenggong, right?"

"Yes, it's this person! This person has millions of acres of fertile land, and he is definitely rich enough to rival a country!"

Man Zhu Xili sneered: "Subud Khan, why are we hesitating? Just capture Qufu directly! Snatch him all of Yan Shenggong! Humph!"

Li Hong pretended to be hesitant and said hesitantly: "But the emperor said he should treat scholars well. We went to attack the Confucius Mansion in Qufu. I'm afraid it's hard to say when we get to the emperor, right?"

Man Zhu Xili snorted disapprovingly: "The emperor should treat those useless scholars, that is the emperor! I am still the emperor's brother-in-law! So what if you beat him Yan Shenggong? As long as we steal gold and silver, we will go back! The emperor should treat scholars well, but they are just scholars outside the pass. What does the scholars in the Central Plains have to do with us?"

When Li Hong saw that Manzhu was deceived, he was overjoyed: "Okay! If Manzhu's words are said by Taiji, then we will attack Qufu!"

Man Zhu Xili didn't know at all. Huang Taiji had ambition to steal the Central Plains in his heart. In fact, even many Man Eight Banners didn't know Huang Taiji's ambition at that time. Among the Qing army, the mainstream view was to enter the pass and rob, rob some things and population and run back to Liaodong to live a good life. As for what to do when entering the Central Plains, I didn't dare to imagine. Although the Ming Dynasty was already corrupt, it was still a huge empire with a population of millions, and the Manchus had only 200,000 people. How could they imagine occupying a huge empire with a population of millions?

Li Hong and Manzhu Xili 6,000 Mongolian cavalry went straight to Qufu, and when they arrived outside Qufu City, Manzhu Xili discovered that Qufu's walls were tall and the moat was wide, which was extremely difficult to conquer.

"No wonder," Man Zhu Xili sighed when he saw this, "Prince Cheng has no plan to attack Qufu. It turns out that it is not easy to fight. Qufu's population is not as difficult as Jinan. The difficulty of siege is probably not inferior to Jinan. It seems that there is no need to fight."

Li Hong laughed: "Taiji, Xiao Han has his own way, he will surely break Qufu!"

When Man Zhu Xili heard Li Hong say that he could destroy the city, he was overjoyed and said, "King Khan, what are you going to destroy the city?"

"In my Tumote tribe, aren't there many unshaved Han herd slaves? I promised them that if they can break through the Han Barbarians' city, let them carry the flag and become bannermen, they can still get half a reward for their future. There must be brave men under the heavy reward. This is not that someone returns to the pass and disguise himself as refugees and sneaks into the city. At that time, as long as we set fire in the city, we will immediately attack the city when we see the signal, and my inner man will naturally open the city gate and put our army into the city."

"A wonderful plan! It's a wonderful one!" Man Zhu Xili raised her thumbs up and praised her.

On the top of Qufu City, those who were responsible for garrisoning Qufu were not regular soldiers of the Ming Dynasty. Apart from the yamen runners in the county yamen, there were pitiful soldiers of the garrison. The rest were servants, servants, and tenants of the Kong family in Yansheng Gong's mansion. If these people were naturally vulnerable in the field, they could still play a major role in defending the city, especially in a strong city like Qufu.

In Yansheng Gong Mansion, a servant rushed in unhappy: "Master! Master, something is wrong! The Tartars are here! The Tartars are here!"

"Tartar?" Yansheng Gong Kong Yinzhi jumped out of the Grand Master's chair in shock, "How many Tartars have come? Are they Jurchen Tartars or Mongolian Tartars?"

"There are about six thousand people, and it seems that they are all Mongolian Tartars."

"Do you carry siege weapons?"

"No, they are all cavalry."

When Kong Yinzhi heard that they were Mongolians and all were cavalrymen, he finally let go of his heart in his throat: "Since they are all Mongolian Tartars and have no weapons to attack the city, there is no need to be afraid of them! At most, they are scared here, and they can't attack the city and leave. After all, Jiannu went deep into my Ming Dynasty and did not dare to stay for a long time. People come to change their clothes for me, and I want to climb the city and see it myself."

At this time, if the Yansheng Gong Kong Yinzhi asked him to surrender to the Qing Dynasty, he would not dare to do such a thing. After all, the Ming regime is still stable now. If only a few thousand Qing troops and the Mongols without any siege weapons came to Qufu, he would surrender. If the Qing army retreated in the future, how could he survive? Even if Emperor Chongzhen dared not do anything to him, would he still have the face? Don't be like this Yansheng Gong.

Don’t forget that there is also a Nankong, Quzhou in the south of the Yangtze River. If Northern Kong surrenders to the enemy and treason, no matter how much scholars in the world will not obey him, Kong Yinzhi. When the Kong Zhenyun of Southern Kong is launched, he, the Yanshenggong, will be scrapped.

In real history, the later Yansheng Gong Kong Yinzhi first surrendered to the thief and then to Jiannu. That was because the Ming Dynasty was over, and he would not be said to be a traitor and the three ministers. But at this time, the Ming Dynasty was still alive, so how could Kong Yinzhi dare to surrender to the enemy? Unless he wanted to give Yansheng Gong to Kong Zhenyun.

Kong Yinzhi climbed to the city heading surrounded by a group of servants. He stood on the city gate tower and looked down at the city. He saw a dark Mongolian cavalry outside the city, making strange screams and shouting at the city head.

Li Hong called his confidant Bartel, and in fact, Batel's true identity was Tao Yushi, a Li Guodong's personal guard agent. Li Hong said to Batel: "Take a few Chinese-speaking people to the city, shout to the top of the city, and ask the people in the city to open the city and surrender! Otherwise, we will slaughter the city!"

Tao Yushi brought several Mongolian cavalrymen from Han shepherd slaves and rode their horses to a place with an arrow from the Qufu city wall.

A Mongolian cavalry opened his voice and shouted: "Listen to the Han people in the city! If we open the city and surrender, our Khan will ensure the safety of everyone in the city! If we refuse to open the city, our army will inevitably massacre the city after breaking through the city!"

In fact, Li Hong was not worried that Yansheng Gong Kong Yinzhi would surrender. If that guy opened the city and surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, although Li Guodong's plan would not be so perfect, Kong Yinzhi would have lost the title of Yansheng Gong in the Ming Dynasty. As long as he lost the title and had the reputation of surrendering to the enemy, Li Hong would not need to investigate it, and even Li Guodong would not need to take action. A group of warlords and gentry in Shandong would divide the fields of Confucius Mansion in Shandong like a red-eyed wolf.

When the Yansheng Gong Kong Yinzhi heard the word "slaughter of the city", he was shocked and his legs were so scared that he became weak.

The servants around him said, "Master, the Mongolian Tartars are just scaring us. They don't have weapons to attack the city, so how do they attack the city?"

Kong Yinzhi then felt relieved: "Yes, the Mongolian Tartars could not conquer Qufu at all! As long as we work together to defend the city, the Tartars would not be able to fight in!"

Seeing that there was no response from the city, Li Hong made someone shout: "Yansheng Gong Kong Yinzhi, your ancestors have also received the favor of our Dayuan and the favor of our Jin. As long as you open the city, we Mongolians will preferential treatment for scholars."

Kong Yinzhi did not dare to open the city to surrender, but he did not have the courage to let the people on the city curse back, for fear of angering the Mongolians, and he was also worried that what if he couldn't hold on.
