The Meng Temple is located in the south of Zou County, and the Meng Mansion is located in the west of the Meng Temple. Meng Wenyu only realized what the current Zou County is in chaos after leaving Meng Mansion.

There was no one servant at the south gate of the city, and there was no one village soldier.

Only the people rushed towards the city gate in groups, supporting the elderly and the young, wearing packages, and their faces were filled with panic.

The Qing army was too intimidated, and the killings they created in Qilu were so sensational. So when the people of Zou County heard the news of the Qing army heading south, no one was willing to leave their lives to verify whether the Qing army was really violent.

After all, this time was different from last time. Last time, the Qing army attacked Zou County, and there were large troops stationed in this county. But this time? I didn’t see a single soldier. But the Meng family still wanted to be loyal ministers of the Ming Dynasty. They scolded the Tartars so miserably. The Qing army rushed over with murderous intent. Can they still expect others to take their swords?

Of course, this is also related to the gentry and celebrities in Zou County. They were all unwilling to show their heads, and they all hoped to escort the Meng family's name to escape this disaster. Now that the wishful thinking has been broken, and if you want to organize the time, don't blame the lower-level people for choosing to escape instead of leaving to defend their homes.

The narrow city gate limits the outflow of people, just like pouring water from a teapot, you have to wait for a while.

Meng Wenyu wiped the sweat from his forehead, lifted the curtain to look, and saw that the people in front of him were like a gust of tide, one after another.

The entire order at the city gate was discussed, and the strong man was crowded and bumped, making the crowd even more confused.

The family is well-off, with cars and horses, and even with servants and servants. Ordinary families carry bags, children, and have to protect the elderly. Everyone keeps rushing and pushing in front of the city gate! Screams, scoldings, cries, cries, and screams, intertwined...

Even at this moment, the local gentry and the Meng family who gathered in the Meng Mansion seemed to be influenced by the outside world and became restless. Some people became more and more excited as they talked, and they gestured with their hands and feet, knocking down the tea bowl without knowing it.

"Meng Hongyu!"

Until someone saw Meng Hongyu standing in the inner door, he shouted! Many people looked for the sound and saw Meng Hongyu coming from behind. At that moment, the number of people of more than a dozen people in the old and young rushed towards him!

"Everyone, you guys, I have something to say..." Meng Hongyu had not finished speaking, but was surrounded by angry gentry in Zou County!

"Mr. Meng! When the manifesto was published that day, you told me that this matter would not have hindered Zou County. But now the Tartars have gone south and have arrived at the city in the blink of an eye. The officials, gentry and people in the city are in danger! What else do you have to say?"

"Since I don't want me to say anything, why are you going to come to my Meng Mansion? Go home quickly and get rid of your wealth and run away."

Meng Hongyu was so stern that he was not weak at all in the face of everyone, but instead shocked the people in front of him. By the way, he also had the right to speak.

Unlike asking Meng Wenyu to go out of the city to find Xiao Yuanying, for the gentry and wise men and the old men of the Meng family in front of him, Meng Hongyu gave a method to pay for money and grain to redeem the city. In short, it is to spend money to buy peace.

Meng Hongyu glanced at the Meng family's elders. It was time for them to work hard at this time.

"The old man's family is still a little rich. This time, the trouble of his hometown is coming, so why dare to be stingy? I wish to produce 5,000 taels of silver and 1,000 stones of grain and rice."

This is one of the old men in the Meng family.

Although the Meng family is far less prosperous than the Kong family, the Zou County Lord Bo Nai's hereditary position as the magistrate of Qufu County Yu Kong family. It is much better than the Zeng family in Jiaxiang. Although Zou County cannot be said to be the Meng family, it is also different. How can the magistrate who changed every few years compare to the local snake like the Meng family? What's more, the magistrate of the current magistrate has escaped...

The Meng family's elders took the lead in raising funds and gathering food. What else could the gentry and wise men present say? Naturally, they all donated generously. When Meng Hongyu saw that the matter had its beginning and end, he was about to slap his goatee with serene satisfaction, he suddenly heard a huge noise outside the mansion.

A moment later, I saw my nephew Meng Wenyu running back from the main entrance in a mess.

However, when he saw the messy situation in the South Gate, he directly asked the coachman to turn around and go to the North Gate.

The Qing army came from the north, and all the people in Zou County fled south, east, and west, and no one would go north.

Meng Wenyu was still very clear-headed. In fact, there were indeed not many families in the north gate of Zou County. Compared with the crowds of people in the south gate, the north gate could definitely be called empty. At this time, those who came to the north gate were all families with some family background.

There is at least one carriage.

Therefore, the inner people recognize the carriage from the Meng Mansion. Who told Meng Wenyu to use the carriage he originally walked when he left the mansion?

These middle and upper classes in Zou County finally had the opportunity to ask Meng Wenyu, and asked him what he was thinking about, and actually signed such a manifesto?

Of course, they don’t object to your Meng family as loyal ministers in the court, but you always ask for troops, right? Just like when the last time, there was a large army stationed in Zou County, they couldn’t accept it. But now that the Qing army has come, why did Zou County see soldiers and soldiers? What makes them even more angry is that when the Qing army was about to reach the city, Meng Wenyu, the head of the Meng family, was going to leave the city?

You actually want to leave the city alone? Where is the people of Zou County? Is it going to abandon Zou County?

Then, Meng Wenyu became like this now.

Meng Hongyu looked at his nephew who was in a mess, and more than a dozen Zou County gentry in the hall looked at Dr. Meng whose headscarf was knocked out, and the whole scene stopped.

"Meng Hongyu, are you just having fun... Let's wait? While raising money and gathering grain, I instructed Meng Wenyu to leave the city in one year. What's the matter with your heart?" A 50-year-old man shouted loudly. His voice was filled with fear, fearing that he would be sold by Meng Hongyu.

Although no one has equated Meng Hongyu with the conspirator, the things in front of him are full of uncertainty. In today's environment, isn't it really uneasy?

...

This scene that happened in Meng’s mansion did not affect Yuan Shizhong’s advance at all. In fact, no matter whether Meng Wenyu came to the army in person or not, Yuan Shizhong would not sit idly by and watch Zou County be destroyed.

"Zouxian Meng family is a descendant of the saint of the Sage. If they suffer this war, the spirits of the ancestors in heaven will not be at peace. How can we live in heaven and earth?" Yan Ding, the general of Yanzhou, cried in front of Yuan Shizhong with the mandate, and she cried with tears. But she didn't mention a word. Although they knew this, they did not separate a soldier from Yanzhou City to guard Zou County.

As mentioned earlier, this Yuan Shizhong, General Yuan was a man who had a lot of feelings about the gentry class.

Yuan Shizhong had a strong feeling about the Manchu proclamation jointly launched by the four great masters of Confucius, Mencius, Zeng and Yan, and now it became even more intense.

After passing Teng County but not entering, the army headed straight for Zou County.

When they were exploring horses, they brought back a basket of unreliable news. Some people said that the Qing army had already reached Yanzhou Prefecture City and then divided their troops to Zou County; some people said that Yanzhou City had been captured by the Qing army, and the Qing army was attacking Zou County; some people said that Yanzhou City had not been captured yet, but Zou County had been captured by the Qing army's partial division...

Yuan Shizhong was confused when he heard the brain, and could not distinguish the real information at all. He only judged that although Zou County was threatened by the Qing army, it was very likely that it was not captured by the Qing army. In this way, Yuan Dahong led the troops backwards, and he personally led two thousand elite troops to go straight to Zou County.

In the north of Yanzhou Prefecture, Zheng Zhilong's troops left Tai'an Prefecture and was leading his army to Yanzhou City. On the way, the Manchu proclamation that was deliberately avoided by Jinan was also sent to him by the probe.

Zheng Zhilong was confused and looked at the manifesto in his hand. Is this true or false? Isn’t the real history that he traveled through time?

The Kong family, oh, there are also the Meng family, Zeng family, and Yan family, three families that have been swept into the bottom valley by the long river of history, jointly signed and published a manifesto, writing so viciously that it made the Tartars so miserable. No matter how you look at this, it was a false sense.
