The Du Qiao's ancestral home of the Du family in Yimen, Taizhou was already panicked at this time. There were crying sounds everywhere, and there were figures running around everywhere. But I didn't know where to escape. In fact, they had no way to escape now!

Because all the gates of the house were closed tightly. All the scholars of the Du family, who were young and strong, gathered behind the gates with swords, guns, crossbows and sweating. Some of the young ladies of the Du family were preparing to participate in the battle with short swords and swords, among which was Du Shisan, the sister whom Lai Toad had secretly loved.

This 20-year-old girl should have been a mother in a commoner's family. But she was born in the Du family of Yimen, so she could not find anyone to marry. The scholars of the Yimen family wanted to pass the Jinshi and marry them again. Naturally, the sisters of the Yimen family also wanted to marry Jinshi, but how many Jinshi were? How many Jinshi were enough for these young ladies? But before the age of being a seldom aged, how many Yimen girls were willing to give up? So the bookish Yimen family produced more men and women.

However, the young ladies of the Yimen family in the Southern Song Dynasty were not as imagined by later generations. They were all wearing small feet in their boudoir to play music, chess, calligraphy and painting in their boudoir... They were young ladies from the Yimen family, and they were not the red heads in the Wazi Lane, so there was no need to play literature to seduce the Jinshi master. Just have some skills in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Whether they are profound or not depends on their personal interests, and they will not be forced by their families.

Moreover, because the Southern Song Dynasty was in war for a long time, women from Yimen's family also had a considerable chance of following their husbands to the war zone, and they might marry into the generals and need to teach their children to practice martial arts. Therefore, the Yimen's family did not prohibit women from practicing martial arts. At the same time, they did not prohibit them from going out for a walk, and they would not necessarily bind their feet. The foot binding of the Song Dynasty was different from the Ming and Qing Dynasties, but they were just wrapped around. In order to make their feet look good, they did not stop walking. However, for the young ladies of the Yimen, they did not rely on a pair of beautiful feet to seduce men, and it didn't matter whether they were wrapped or not.

Therefore, the famous ladies of the Song Dynasty included female poets like Li Qingzhao, and there were also distant relatives of Chen Dexing, a female warrior like Chen Shuzhen, and the daughter of Chen Zilong, the Chen family of Xinghua. She was born in a large Yi family. Her father was the top scholar, her husband was the Jinshi, but she was a martial artist.

Du Shisanjie'er is also an active girl like Chen Shuzhen. She has no intention of practicing calligraphy and painting, but has learned some martial arts from the gun and rod instructor at home. At this moment, she has accompanied several elders of the Du family to a tall tower in the house. She is looking outside with curiosity. Looking at the flames of the smoke pillars and fire. Hearing screams and shouting, he came here ominously. But in her heart, the Sir Beiming, the Three Classics of Heavenly Dao, and the Tiandao Academy, she vaguely heard that the chief Heavenly Dao Envoy of the National Cult of the Ming Dynasty was a woman in Jiangnan... What kind of woman is that, she can actually control the world's number one sect!

I heard that her status in the Northern Ming court was comparable to that of Prime Minister Huang Zhishen and the Four Secretary of the Military Department! What kind of strange woman is this!

Du Shisanjie'er also heard that the Tiandao Academy in Beiming is a co-educational school, and she has the same ability to learn. Women can also become officials and be awarded titles. What kind of country is this...

Du Wen, Mr. Du's face was ashen, and his old face was almost twisted. He was the same generation as Prime Minister Du Fan. Of course, he was much younger. He had never been admitted to the Jinshi for his whole life and had never even passed the Taizhou exam. He had never left Taizhou in his life. At the age of forty, he married an old lady of the Jia family (a generation with Jia Sidao) and gave birth to a pair of children, and his daughter was Du Shisanjie'er. His big name was Du Qiong'er.

His son Du Fu is still young, only twelve years old. He is a famous prodigy in the clan and has great hope to be a Jinshi. Therefore, Du Wen has high hopes for it. Until the Ming army invaded Duqiao, he was still making an article in his study. However, now, the prodigy is standing behind his sister tremblingly.

"... Thirteenth sister, tenth brother, fifteenth brother and others are back? They won't be beaten to death by the thief, are they? What should we do now... The thief is going to be thrown in, they, they won't kill us all, are they?"

Listening to his son's words, Du Wen could only close his eyes in pain. The tenth scholar and the fifteenth scholar's remnants of the army had already returned, and it also brought news of a great defeat. The army of nearly two thousand people defeated the Ming army with an average number in less than half an hour... It was simply vulnerable! What kind of scholars are in charge of soldiers and Taizhou people guarding Taizhou is a joke. The Ming army swept across the Central Plains and expelled Mongolia. How could the heavenly soldiers be resisted by scholars and farmers in Taizhou?

This time, the scholar met a soldier, and it was hard to explain. After the Ming army cleared the troops, which were still resisting sporadically, it was time to attack the Du family's ancestral home! Thousands of Ding men, and nearly two thousand elderly, weak women and children, were all meat on the chopping boards...

The Ming army with bright steel armor had gathered from all over the Du family mansion, pounding against the doors everywhere. The scholars and servants of the Du family went up to block the doors, and brought a lot of furniture to pile them at the door.

Du heard that Mr. Du was already crying, but he still tried his best to endure it, "The Du family is a disaster today! The entire Jiangnan and the whole world are in this disaster... The country is destroyed and the family is destroyed! Anyone with the Zhao family official remembers that loyal ministers are the only ones! If someone can pass this level, don't forget that his surname is Du!"

Du Shisanjie held his father, but he was not as panicked as his father. Du Qiao was in Haikou, and before the sea ban was promulgated, there were also many maritime merchants. Someone brought a tabloid published in Zhoushan. Du Shisanjie bought it and read it. He knew that the Ming army was strict in discipline, knew that Chen Dexing was also a Lin'anzi, and knew that he was the princess Zhao Lin'er who turned against the Song Dynasty. How could such a hero kill innocent people indiscriminately?

And now it’s just a change of surnames, but the world is not overthrowing. The Zhao family has been in the country for three hundred years and it’s time to be exhausted. What’s the point of changing the Chen family to be the emperor now? Why did the Du family bury the Zhao family for their burial?

"Sir, why not surrender... Only in this way can the Du family maintain more vitality."

Du Shisanjie knew that she had no say here, but someone must say this. "...How long can you last with a few doors? When the door is broken, the Ming army will rush in and kill people! What else can't be done in the chaos? On the contrary, the Du family surrendered, so the Ming army was not able to let go of the slaughter. Even if there is any punishment, the knife will not fall immediately, and there is always room for rushing to maneuver!"

Du Wen was stunned. Although his daughter was a woman, she had some knowledge and a calm mind. Today's words were more reasonable... Now is not the time to protect the Song Dynasty, but now is the time to protect the lives of the Du family. If someone enters the Du family's ancestral home, it would be a release to kill him! If he surrenders, these two surnames compete for the world, it seems that there is not much killing or surrendering? Besides, what is the Du family in Jiangnan? If the Du family wants to destroy the clan, the Yimen in Jiangnan probably has to be killed. Judging from what Chen Dexing did in the past, he is not that cruel.

"Yes, yes... I'm really confused!" Du Wen stomped his feet. He has always been the head of the Du family. Now he has only pushed him out because the clan leader and Du Shi scholar are not there. "Please surrender, please surrender quickly!" He looked at his left and right, "Who are you going to go and ask surrender to the Ming army?"

Have a walk? Several older scholars quickly lowered their heads and went to the battlefield to ask for surrender. This matter sounds unreliable, so don't lose your life.

Seeing that no one responded, Du Qiong'er bit her teeth, "Sir, let my daughter go and have a walk!"

...

"Officiale Xu, our Du family is willing to hand over all the property, just to stay in our hometown in Taizhou to farm!"

At this time, Du Shi Xiucai was taken to the temporary yamen stationed by Xu Ziyuan in Dudu Salt Field and met the magistrate Xu Da. The salt field was managed by Taizhou Prefecture. As soon as the Ming army came, the officials and soldiers scattered. So Xu Ziyuan, who had landed, took his county yamen office and entered under the escort of the Ming army in a company.

"All the property?" Xu Ziyuan just smiled and shook his head, "It's not as serious as that... except for the Du family's property, everything else can be disposed of by yourself. Take away what can be taken away, and sell what can't be taken away."

In addition to land, the Du family also has many shops, houses and a half-dead business. These are not included in the confiscation of confiscations, but also meticulous work. The easiest thing to confiscate is the land, where the land is placed, and it cannot be hidden. Whether it is tribal land, school land, or ancestral land, just confiscate it. Moreover, tenants are planting these fields, just for the rent collector to change it.

The second is shops and shops. These things need to be operated properly before they are valuable. Send a few soldiers to seal them, but I don’t know when they will open. It would be better to let the Du family handle them by themselves, and they will most likely deal with them at a low price to the manager and clerk of the Du family.

The most difficult things are gold, silver, fine and antique calligraphy and paintings. Either they are damaged during the search, or they are greedy by the officials who presided over the search. One tenth of them fell into the official treasury would be burned. So Chen Dexing simply took the land and did not search the house, and let these unlucky Yimen convert houses, antiques and calligraphy and paintings, and then divided gold, silver, fine and soft, and then went their separate ways. In this way, when they arrived at the exile, they could have some capital to start their lives and operate some industries.

Chen Dexing wanted to exile the backbone of the Yimen in Jiangnan. In addition to breaking their control over the land and population of Jiangnan, so that Jiangnan, which has become a stagnant pool, would become alive as soon as possible. He wanted to increase the population of Han people in the Northland, New World, Southern French colonies, Oceania colonies and the Indian colonies.

As Chen Dexing's secretary, how could Xu Ziyuan not know Chen Dexing's true intention? However, it is not easy to drive so many Jiangnan Yimen out of their nests. It depends on what skills Chen Sheng has! (To be continued...)
