As soon as this remark came out, no one spoke for an instant.

Even Huang Zongxi and Kuang Lu called Zhao Han the princes in Nanchang, because they sincerely vowed to die.Hearing Zhao Han's words at this moment, everyone felt that the lord was too shameless, and he knew the essence of turning black and white and pointing a deer into a horse.

Kong Zhenyun didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said to Jun Yao and Shun, he could still operate like this.

Zhao Han said: "We are fighting, and the military situation is urgent. Dr. Kong will take me to worship Confucius Temple. There is no need for a complete set of etiquette, just worship once, and when you have time later, come to offer grand sacrifices to Confucius."

"Mr. Zhao, please!" Kong Zhenyun personally led the way.

When Zhao Han came to Quzhou Confucian Temple and saw the statue of Confucius in the temple, he suddenly sighed: "Alas!"

Kuang Lu asked, "Why is Zongzhen sighing?"

Zhao Han didn't answer Kuang Lu, but turned to Kong Zhenyun, "Dr. Kong, do you know what was going through my mind when I first saw this image?"

"The general town's thoughts are beyond the reach of people." Kong Zhenyun said with his hands clasped.

Zhao Han sighed and said, "I just think Confucius is a poor man."

Kong Zhenyun's heart beat wildly, knowing that he must have offended Zhao Han by talking too much earlier.He bit the bullet and said, "Please tell the town chief clearly."

Zhao Han shook his head and said with emotion: "Why do I say that Confucius is pitiful? It's nothing more than being tampered with by ancient rotten scholars, but he was trapped in a muddy body for hundreds of years by his unworthy descendants using magic from outside the Buddhist school. ah!"

Kong Zhenyun was so frightened that he was sweating all over with such cruel words.

The secretaries who followed Zhao Han were also Confucian children, and they were all astonished.

Kong Zhenyun wiped his sweat and asked, "Why did the general town make such a statement?"

Zhao Han pointed to the statue of Confucius and said: "Confucians only offer wooden tablets (tablets), and Buddhists only offer statues. Isn't it the use of Buddhist magic to trap Confucius in a mud womb so that he will not be reborn forever? This The truth is, Zhang Fujing of the Jiajing Dynasty had already argued clearly in the court, and the Emperor Jiajing also agreed, and even ordered Confucian temples all over the country to demolish the statues of Confucius. Why didn’t this Nanzong Confucian temple be demolished?”

"I'll have someone dismantle it later!" Kong Zhenyun couldn't argue, because it was indeed an order from the Ming court.

When Kong Zhenyun inherited the official post of Doctor of the Five Classics at the beginning, when he returned from the capital, he paid homage to the Confucian Temple in Qufu.

Qufu Confucian Temple is even more terrifying. Not only did it defy the imperial court's order, it openly worshiped the statue of Confucius.Moreover, the "Dacheng Zhisheng Xianshi" enshrined by the Ming Dynasty was abandoned, and the tablet of "Dacheng Zhisheng Wenxuan King" canonized by the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty was still continued.

Because the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty canonized Confucius as king, he was demoted to be a teacher by Emperor Jiajing.Then the Qufu Confucian Temple does not recognize the title of the Ming Dynasty, but only the title given by the Yuan Dynasty!

"Alas!"

Zhao Han suddenly possessed a playful spirit, lamented and said with tears: "Confucius has become a clay sculpture, Confucianism has become a dogma, Confucianism and Confucius have both been imprisoned by evil magic." Zhao Han shouted: "Here comes!"

The soldiers stepped forward immediately.

Zhao Han pointed to the statue of Confucius: "Do it immediately, smash the statue of Confucius, and save Confucius!"

Several personal soldiers pushed down the statue of Confucius and hacked at it with knives.

This scene made all the scholars afraid to speak, it seemed very reasonable, but also felt very awkward.

"Burn!" Zhao Han shouted again.

The soldiers carried the statue of Confucius that had been cut out to the open space in front of the main hall, and burned it with firewood.

Zhao Han smiled and said to Kong Zhenyun, "Dr. Kong, I have avenged your family's ancestor's escape."

Then should I thank you?

Of course Kong Zhenyun didn't dare to refute, he cupped his hands and said, "This is the true meaning of Confucianism."

Zhao Han asked: "The Confucius family in Qufu is also enshrining the statue of Confucius?"

"Of course," Kong Zhenyun took the opportunity to apply eye drops to Bei Kong, "Qufu Confucian Temple not only enshrines statues, but also enshrines the wooden master of the 'Dacheng Supreme Sage Wenxuan King' of the Yuan Dynasty."

Zhao Han was furious: "It's unreasonable. The Confucian family in Qufu is still thinking about Meng Yuan. Is this because they are pursuing the previous dynasty and wanting to rebel? When I lead the troops to Beijing, I will definitely report to His Majesty the Emperor and ask the court to punish the Confucian family in Qufu. Let the Kong family of Quzhou be the Duke of Yansheng."

"The south hole and the north hole come from the same lineage, and the south hole never dares to covet the position of Duke Yan." Kong Zhenyun said no, but his heart was already happy.

Throughout the Ming Dynasty, the North Kong has been deliberately suppressing the South Kong.

The officials of the imperial court wanted to win benefits for Nan Kong, but Bei Kong always objected.It is nothing more than fear that the south hole will become bigger and share the influence of the north hole.

Even the compilation of family rules and genealogy by Nan Kong had to be sent to Bei Kong for review.

Zhao Han was making a fuss at the moment, but he really expressed only two meanings: first, the statue of Confucius is not allowed to be enshrined; second, the southern hole should be used instead of the northern hole.

Kong Zhenyun became more respectful, and said: "The general town will divide the land, and the Kong family will definitely cooperate. If the general town is willing, the old man please go out with the army, so that those stubborn people will know the meaning of the general town's 'To Jun Yao and Shun'." Work hard."

This is the deal, and Kong Zhenyun asked himself to be the "officer of the Eastern Expedition to Persuade Surrender".

Zhao Han smiled more and more happily, took Kong Zhenyun's hand and said, "The one who knows me is Dr. Kong. Everyone says I am a traitor, and only Dr. Kong knows my loyal minister. How about it, within five servings Each of the children of the Confucius family in Quzhou can keep 25 mu of land. The Confucian temple can keep [-] mu of land for sacrifice!"

"Thank you for your kindness, General Zhen." Kong Zhenyun bit the bullet and thanked.

No matter which dynasty the emperor randomly gave the Kong family land, it would be hundreds or thousands of acres.

Fortunately for Zhao Han, instead of granting the land, he took back the sacrificial land with only one hundred mu left.

For Nan Kong, everything is worth it, and he can get back the hereditary title of "Yan Shenggong"!

The Heavenly Master's Mansion in Longhu Mountain is now in order, guarding the remaining land, relying on the incense of believers, paying taxes honestly, and can continue to live.

The Confucian family in Quzhou will also become like the Tianshi Mansion.

After staying in Quzhou for two days, Zhao Han began to divide his troops.The main force marched towards Longyou County, and then dispatched a partial division to take Kaihua County in the north.

Kong Zhenyun went out with the main army, and he wanted to persuade the officers and soldiers to surrender along the way, and appease the scholars along the way.

On the day of departure, Kong Zhenyun got the news that more than 40 descendants of the Xu and Wu families had been arrested for public trial.

It seems that the house is being raided!

Kong Zhenyun didn't dare to accuse Zhao Han of going back on his word, and became more honest from then on, and worked extra hard in persuading him to surrender.

Chapter 302 [Call out to end the battle]

Zhang Tieniu set off first, and two thousand vanguard troops surrounded Longyou County.

When Zhao Han arrived with the army, Zhang Tieniu moved forward again, headed towards Jinhua, and joined the rebel army led by Xu Du.

Zhang Tieniu's two thousand elites, together with the local rebel army, were enough to take down the entire central Zhejiang area.

Zhao Han collected large and small ships along the way, led the main force, and went down the Dongyang River (Lanjiang). He wanted to fight all the way along the river to Hangzhou.

As for the Landlord Longyou who crazily killed the rebels, did Zhao Han have to deal with it himself?

Longyou County.

The landlords were uneasy. They dared not surrender because too many people had been killed.But it seems that if you don't surrender, and you have no choice, can you still rely on a group of mobs to resist the army?

While they were discussing how to surrender, Zhao Han collected all the ships outside the city, swaggered away by boat, and headed for Yanzhou Mansion further downstream.

gone?

Zhao Tianwang's army is leaving now?

Why don't you stay and attack us?

Of course, the army remained, a total of [-] peasant soldiers, as well as a large number of officials, missionaries, and backbones of the peasant association.

In the entire Quzhou Prefecture, Longyou County has the most flat and fertile land, and Longyou County also has the most big landlords, so it is natural to hurry up and divide the land.

"If only a thousand soldiers are left to attack the city, he won't kill his carbine, right?"

"There are only a thousand soldiers outside the city, it is better to kill them!"

"Idiot, those are Jiangxi soldiers, one thousand can fight ten thousand. Can you beat it?"

"His mother, who said Zhao Tianwang couldn't fight Zhejiang? I believed him!"

"What are you doing outside the city?"

"Measuring the land, we are dividing our fields!"

"..."

A thousand soldiers stood guard by the river, and immediately began to clear the land in front of the landlords guarding the city.

Immediately afterwards, they sent people in small boats to shout outside the city: "The field has begun to be divided, the field has begun to be divided. The defenders in the city listen, and the field can be divided when they leave the city. Give it to another family!"

After shouting for about ten minutes, Chengnei Xiangyong began to lose control.

Countless people dropped their weapons one after another, left the city wall they were guarding, and ran towards the city gates in a single thought.

In just one stick of incense, the city wall became empty, and the gates to the north were all wide open.

"Long live King Zhao!"

"There is a piece of land over there that belongs to my family, don't distribute it randomly!"

"Master Jun, go to our village to divide the fields first, it's very close to the county seat."

"..."

An officer landed with a smile and shouted: "Don't make noise, everyone can share the fields. Even if the fields in Longyou County are not enough, you can be sent to other places for punishment, and the seeds will be given to you in new places. Listen now Mine, I want to choose two thousand young men!"

Seeing the officers of Datong picking young and strong men under the city, the landlords and gentry in the city were all dumbfounded.

Before the war was fought, all the brave men they recruited ran away.

The gentry and merchants who participated in the suppression of the uprising army ran away in fright.Some people hid in the city, and some returned to the countryside, thinking about it, and anyway, they wanted to pack up and run.

Some of them, whose business is overseas, can hide in Nanyang to survive.

"Catch me!"

A thousand farmers and soldiers were quickly dispersed, and each group of ten people led twenty local young men, and began to arrest the leaders of the rebel army in various places.

This time, there will be no more forgiveness, because too many rebels were killed, and 32 rebels were killed alone, and several of them were killed after being caught.

All ransacked!

As for the Quzhou Mansion, the deceased was compensated 1000 taels of silver, which was not a pension, but the life-saving money of the reactionary landlords.Four dead and seventeen injured, a total of 9100 taels of silver was compensated, just to give an explanation to the local rebels.

The rebel army is not the Datong army, and the two sides are allies.

The casualties of the rebel army have no military merit to speak of, and their children do not enjoy the preferential treatment policy, and they must be disbanded on the spot after the war ends.

This money was directly paid by the landlord to the dead and injured, and had nothing to do with the Datong Army itself, let alone any unclear rewards and punishments.

……

Lanxi County.

Li Yu was inspecting the city wall when he suddenly heard his servant shouting, "Here comes the King Zhao, here comes the King Zhao!"

Hearing the shout, Li Yu quickly lay down on the female wall and watched.Sure enough, I saw a huge fleet with many Datong military flags flying towards the county.

Li Yu clapped his hands and praised: "Sure enough, the army is mighty, Mr. Zhao will win the world!"

Tang Yuqi, the leader of the Lanxi Rebel Army, led scholars and merchants out of the city, and stood at the pier waiting to welcome Zhao Han.

The fleet gradually approached and finally docked on the shore.

"Meet Zhao Zongzhen (Zhao Tianwang)!"

Li Yu knelt down on the ground, extremely excited in his heart, and couldn't wait to see his idol.

He was born in a medical family with an extremely low status.Even if he was admitted as a scholar and was proficient in the Five Classics, he was praised as a "Five Classics boy", but he still did not get the respect of the upper class scholars.

His family is indeed engaged in business, but it is the uncle's property, and the business is not big, and the economic situation cannot be compared with that of a big businessman.

Just like this, Li Yu is extremely conceited, how will he feel when he is despised by the upper class scholars?

What Li Yu dislikes the most is Mao Pijiang. The two were born in the same city in the same year, and they are both scholars, and they have made many mutual friends.Li Yu took the initiative to make friends with him, but Mao Pijiang learned that he came from a medical family, and he didn't look at him face to face, so angry that Li Yu never talked to this person again.

Li Yu admired "Gewei Lun" very much, and even liked all Jiangxi's policies.

A scholar who is called a strange Confucian along with Li Zhi and Chen Jiru, do you expect him to follow the rules?If Zhao Han was more aggressive, Li Yu would applaud him.

"I'm coming!"

A pair of personal guards disembarked first, followed by Zhao Han and the secretary of the army.

Zhao Han took a few steps forward, helped Tang Yuqi up, and said to the others: "Please hurry up, gentlemen, if it is not an important occasion, you cannot kneel and worship. Those who kneel should not be human beings, but parents of heaven and earth."

Tang Yuqi first introduced himself, and then introduced scholars and merchants, all of whom contributed to the uprising.

Li Yu was ranked No. 12 in the introduction. Tang Yuqi said: "Zongzhen, this is the famous Five Classics boy in our county. He knows the Five Classics at a young age. Li Xianlu, whose name is Banfan, is called Tiantu."

"I've seen Zongzhen!" Li Yu hastily cupped his hands.

"Haha, good name, I will remember it once I hear it." Zhao Han replied with a smile.

It is really different to have a famous name. Tang Yuqi introduced more than ten people one after another, and Li Yu left the deepest impression on Zhao Han.
