MTL - Han’s Son is Not a Slave-Chapter 1117 pure self-reliance

In Sanguan Town, Zhongmu, Henan, when Wang Pingfan, a general of Wu Sangui, died in battle, thousands of miles away in the south of the Yangtze River were killed.

The riots that supported the Qing gentry and clergymen only lasted for less than twenty days, and they were pacified by the Taiping troops who responded quickly.

Compared with the well-organized and battle-hardened Taiping Army, the hastily organized and unarmed and poorly trained rioters are even worse than bandits. Facts have proved that if it is not limited by the transmission of information in this era, so that it cannot be suppressed in advance, I am afraid that at the beginning, all the gentry and religious leaders who participated in the uprising would have been captured and killed.

It was Songjiang that suffered the most brutal repression and suffered the most damage. Zhou Shixiang stayed in Songjiang for seven days, until the last member of the church was hacked to death with a knife, and the head of the leader was chopped off and choked with lime. After he was sent to various places to spread the message, Zhou Shixiang left the temple that was destroyed by the fire. , to Suzhou.

On the day of his arrival in Suzhou, Zhou Shixiang summoned Jiang Guozhu, the governor of Jiangsu, and after scolding the latter, the order to launch a campaign to suppress the rebels was issued from the yamen of the governor of Jiangsu.

The anti-revolutionary movement severely cracked down on the Jiangnan gentry who participated in the rebellion, and almost uprooted the gentry forces who had finally survived the three major cases. As a result, the people of Jiangnan did not dare to send their children to school, for fear that they would be tied and beheaded by the Taiping Army after reading the book. And those religious people scattered all over Jiangnan were also surrounded by officers and soldiers one by one for screening. The religious temples were demolished one after another. Facing the Taiping army's butcher's knife, the religious people chose to obey. They are powerless and have no courage to resist, because the leader of the bandit leader is not fake.

The screening process is also bloody. In some places where the scourge of the religious bandits was serious, there were even retaliatory actions without government organizations. After the vendetta, the number of religious people in Jiangnan plummeted to less than 30% of the original. After the screening, the Protestant Temple decree was promulgated, and a large number of scripture teachers were deprived of their missionary qualifications and went to study at the Nandu Dajiao Temple.

Although Zhang Changgeng was the main leader of the anti-revolutionary movement, the actual commander was Wang Shirong, who had experience in suppressing counter-revolutionaries in Guangdong.

Wang Shirong had meritorious deeds in guarding Kunshan, but this time he was directly used by Zhou Shixiang, and he was assigned the title of Censor, the Right Deputy Chief of the Court, and was actually in charge of suppressing rebels in the south of the Yangtze River.

When Wang Shirong was reused again, he showed his ambition and ability. In just half a month, more than 1,000 gentry scholars were signed and killed by him. Tanhua Lang Ye Fangai and his father Ye Tiancheng, who fled to the north unsuccessfully, were convicted of "treason" and first paraded through the streets in their hometown in Kunshan, and later went to trial in Suzhou Fucheng. After the trial, he was executed in public. After learning that Tanhualang was executed, some superstitious people came from all over, just to get a little of Tanhualang's blood and go home to treat their relatives.

Because the riot this time seriously affected Zhou Shixiang's plan to go north, and caused serious losses to all the prefectures, Zhou Shixiang strictly ordered that the suppression of the rebels must be severely punished and the problem completely eliminated. This resulted in the execution of many gentry who had only been sentenced or put Annan in prison, and Wang Shirong made a lot of connections. If one family member is involved in the treason, the whole family will be punished. And encouraged the people to expose, for a while, countless heads fell in Jiangnan, **** and terrifying.

However, compared with the **** smell that pervades the sky over Jiangnan, compared with the "staying in the capital to discuss the national public revelation" that is taking place in Nanjing, it is far from enough to shock and fear the officials in the southern capital.

In the eyes of the officials in the southern capital, no matter how many people were killed in Jiangnan, they were not as ruthless as Gu Yanwu's big-character poster.

Nanjing City has now been turned upside down by Gu Yanwu's public disclosure.

After a meeting in Songjiang, Gu Yanwu was recommended by Zhou Shixiang to be the Censor of the Right Capital of the Capital Court. However, after Gu Yanwu went to Nandu, he did not go to the Capital Court, but personally posted a big-character poster at Damingmen, Nanjing Metropolitan Government Public Proposal."

In this big-character poster, Gu Yanwu openly proposed that the emperor should be the Holy Son of Heaven, and that he should follow the example of Xuanyuan Huangdi to rule, and that the emperor should decide if the affairs of the world should not be decided, but should be entrusted to worthy ministers and nobles. He boldly proposed that the world is for the public, and that nothing cannot be humane for the world. And in the public disclosure, he bluntly stated that the world is not the court, and the court is not the world. The so-called "world" refers to the nation, and it refers to thousands of Han people, not one surname and one king.

In other words, Gu Yanwu, the great Confucian of the world, had a back bone in his head, and he actually thought that the emperor could not let it go.

At the same time, Gu Yanwu believes that today's officials and gentry should reflect on why Daming has come to this day, why there is a disaster in Jiashen, and why there is a catastrophe that almost destroyed the country. In addition, he proposed to abolish the abolition of subordinate officials, establish schools, and comprehensively promote the construction of villages and townships. At the same time, vigorously cultivate professional personnel to replace the original imperial examination officials. The imperial examinations should be thoroughly reformed, and scholars should be selected based on such subjects as arithmetic, classics and history (language), decree (law), physical examination (science), armament (military), government affairs (organization and process knowledge), and industry and commerce. Use the old eight strands again.

Among the various measures proposed by Gu Yanwu, half of them are being implemented by Zhou Shixiang, but this time, he, the great scholar, summed up and proposed them comprehensively, and characterized them as "setting things right".

The core concept of "Liu Du Yi Guo Gong Jie" can be summed up in one sentence. The difficulties of the country today are all the fault of the system and the officials and gentry. Therefore, the system must be changed, and the officials and gentry must also be changed. Since in the past it was people who were incapable of causing trouble for the country, since then, whoever has the ability will do it in this country.

When Duke Yiguo was revealed, the whole city of Nanjing was shaken, and even Emperor Dingwu, who had not been in court for a long time, was shaken.

The first person to know that Gu Yanwu posted "Liu Du Yi Guo Gong Jie" was Huang Zongxi, a great scholar who was personally recommended to Emperor Dingwu by Taifu Qian Qianyi. After listening to Huang Zongxi's opinions in the palace, Emperor Dingwu appointed him. He was the censor of the Zuodu of the Imperial Court. Gu Yanwu, however, was the censor of Youdu, who was recommended by Zhou Shixiang. Now, this censor of the Right Capital didn't even come to the Yamen, and even his censor of the Zuodu didn't visit ~www.novelbuddy.com~ just posted a sensational big-character poster outside Damingmen, and Huang Zongxi was extremely angry. And in his opinion, the content of the public disclosure is so arrogant and presumptuous.

As the saying goes, "there is no clear sky for three days", the cloudy and cloudy wind will not disappear on its own, nor will it give up the vast sky on its own.

As soon as Gu Yanwu's big-character poster was posted, Zhou Dang's cabinet minister, Shi Dingzhi and Yuan Kuoyu immediately organized people to build momentum for it, and organized three large-scale discussions on state affairs with more than 100 participants.

Although the chief assistant Guo Zhiqi is not a Zhou Party, he can be considered supportive of Zhou Shixiang's governance, but this time Gu Yanwu has openly proposed a virtual prince, and he wants to completely reform the government. Difficult to accept. Moreover, Guo Zhiqi has deep doubts about what Duke Gu Yanwu revealed, that is, who is capable?

Does Gu Yanwu's claim to be able to refer to Zhou Shixiang, King of Qi? He proposed that Xu Jun's purpose was to test the court and people's hearts for Zhou Shixiang. Once the emperor is deceived, can this capable King Qi be replaced?

If Xu Jun is only for the purpose of changing the monarch, then Gu Yanwu must have received Zhou Shixiang's instigation behind the posting of this public disclosure. Does this mean that His Royal Highness the King of Qi can't hold back his inner ambition and wants to usurp Ming and stand on his own? already?
