surrender?

Is it possible?

This idea was suppressed by Suksaha as soon as he was born.

He just nodded and waved his hand and said something, and it couldn't be simpler.

But all his family members were held in the hands of the Qing court. Once Suksaha surrendered and rebelled against the Qing Dynasty, there was no doubt that Suksaha's family in the capital would suffer.

The Qing court would not open this opening, otherwise the banner people would surrender if they could not defeat them in the future.

At that time, Suksaha's family will definitely be beheaded, and their heads will be hung on the city gate building to show public.

Just thinking about it, Suksaha felt chilling.

Now Suksaha seems to be strangled by someone's throat and cannot move at all.

Just move around and you may fall into the abyss.

Surrender is impossible, and it is impossible to surrender in this life.

I can't take advantage of the field, so I can only shrink and defend and maintain my life.

There is no other possibility for Suksaha after all.

Suksaha tore off the letter directly, and while holding his fingers, he was thinking about how to keep Jinan.

The Battle of Yanzhou allowed him to see the sharpness of the Ming army's artillery.

There is no doubt that Zheng Chenggong would use artillery in the siege.

How to prevent artillery is something Suksaha must consider.

In other words, as long as the problem of artillery could be solved, the Qing army had a chance of winning.

Artillery bombardment?

Suksaha shook his head.

This method cannons at the top of Jinan city are not the root cause. Suksaha also saw the cannons at the head of Jinan. They were very bulky. The Ming army's cannons are very light and can be adjusted at any time.

The Qing army could not target it at all.

At most, don’t lose too much in pretending to behave.

The best way is to send a cavalry to ambush outside the city in advance.

Once the Ming army began to attack the city by artillery, these ambushed cavalry rushed out.

The Ming army's artillery was lighter than the Qing army's artillery, and it was a natural target when facing cavalry.

As long as these artillery can be destroyed, the biggest threat faced by the Qing army can be lifted.

Both sides will return to the 55-5 state.

After thinking it through, Suksaha's heart was calm.

Maybe this general is not your opponent in the field, but there is still no problem in defending the city.

If he couldn't even defend such a strong city in Jinan, he would no longer have to be this general, just commit suicide and apologize.

Zheng Chenggong, go to hell!

This general will fight you to the end and see who will be the final winner.

...

...

People's minds change.

After learning that Zheng Chenggong was persuaded to surrender, many aristocratic families in Jinan City had their own thoughts.

They don't want to wait for death with Suksaha.

Unlike the bannermen like Suksaha who rose to prominence by relying on the Qing Dynasty's entry into the pass, these great families in Shandong have stood for thousands of years.

They have their own experience and principles in dealing with things. It is also a skill to be able to avoid all kinds of disasters over the years.

The Kong family is one of them.

The Kong family in Jinan is a branch of the Kong family in Qufu.

The two branches are of the same clan and the same origin. Although they have already separated, the bones and tendons are broken between the two sides, and the dynasty and generations are still in contact for so many times.

As the most important family in Shandong, the Kong family's every move has attracted the attention of the world.

After the Qing army entered the pass, the Kong family refused to surrender at the beginning.

But later, the Qing army went directly to the door of the Kong family and said that if they did not surrender, they would massacre all the Kong family.

This scared the head of the Kong family.

It is related to the lives of the whole family, so he has no choice but to admit defeat.

In the end, the Kong family chose to surrender, shaved their hair and changed their clothes, and finally surrendered to the Qing court.

What kind of family is the Kong family?

That was a descendant of Confucius.

There is no need to say much about the status of Confucius in the minds of scholars all over the world. Even the Kong family has surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, and other aristocratic families in Shandong do not have to struggle at first sight, so just surrender.

The situation facing these aristocratic families is as similar to what they thought back then.

It was just that the Ming army was strong and the Qing army was weak.

Once the Qing army is defeated and the Ming army takes over Jinan City, how will Zheng Chenggong treat them, the big families who surrender to the Qing Dynasty?

They dare not imagine.

So everyone put all their hopes on the Kong family.

I hope the Kong family can give you a clear path.

The current head of the Kong family in Jinan is called Kong Shangzhi.

A few days ago, Kong Shangzhi had just celebrated his forty birthday and was just catching up with such a thing, so it was so upsetting.

Moreover, the heads of countless big families sent people to indirectly attack, just to find out the attitude of the Kong family.

Kong Shangzhi felt as if he was being roasted on fire.

He didn't want to express his opinion, but he knew that this could not be avoided and would have to face it sooner or later.

Kong Shangzhi just wanted to avoid the limelight for the time being so that he would not be criticized at the forefront of the storm.

Kong Shangzhi's eldest son Kong Lianyou saw his father's sorrow, so he said in a harmonious voice: "My father, this matter is not that tricky. The worst thing is to change the dynasty, and we can adapt to the situation."

Kong Shangzhi shook his head when he heard this.

"No, it's understandable that ordinary big families can choose good birds and live in trees, but our Kong family is different. We represent the master of the generations of masters. When the Qing Dynasty, the reputation of my Kong family had been greatly damaged. If it was damaged again this time, my Kong family would not be broken by someone on the back."

Kong Lian nodded a little and said, "What my father said is reasonable, it is because his son is reckless. But the father should still make preparations. If the Ming army enters Jinan City and the father wants to surrender again, the price offered by Zheng Chenggong will be very different at that time."

"You mean, I'm going to ride a fence for my father?"

The words of riding on the fence are a bit ugly, but the meaning is concise.

Kong Lianyou coughed and said, "This is a last resort. A thousand-year-old family like ours must spread the risks. Hanging it on a tree is not a good thing. If your father feels embarrassed, the child can do this."

Kong Shangzhi narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard this, and did not reply immediately.

Of course he understood what his son meant.

When facing an uncertain situation in the world, the big family will ask their descendants to bet on both sides separately.

In this way, no matter which camp wins and laughs to the end, the family will always survive one by one, continuing the glory of the family.

Of course, this will definitely sacrifice the interests of a house, but it is much better than the entire family betting on the place where one party will die without a burial.

For large families, family interests are the most important, and each house and branch can be abandoned.

"Well, thank you for your hard work."

After thinking about it over and over again, Kong Lianyou still made up his mind.

This kind of thing cannot be delayed, the more you delay, the bigger the problem.

If you contact the Ming army early, you will get a good result.

"My father is so serious, these are what children should do."
