MTL - Han’s Son is Not a Slave-Chapter 1121 Those who oppose me die

Kong Yinzhi was the former Duke Yansheng and the father of Kong Xingxie, the current Duke Yansheng. He died in the Duke Yansheng Mansion in Beijing when he was in the third year of Shunzhi. After Kong Xingxie succeeded Duke Yansheng, he did not stay in Beijing, but returned to Kongfu in Qufu. The reason was that when his father surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, the general situation of the world was still unknown, and it was unknown whether the Qing court could completely defeat the Ming Dynasty. After Kong Xingxie took over as Duke Yansheng, although Yongli was newly established in the Ming Dynasty, almost all the major provinces in Jiangnan and Jiangbei had been occupied, and it was a sure thing for the Qing court to stabilize the country, so he immediately rushed back to Qufu from Beijing. After all, compared to the Duke Yansheng Mansion in Beijing, the Confucius Mansion in Qufu was the real power and influence of the Confucius family.

Kong Xingxie also really got the "true biography" of his father Kong Yinzhi, and also got the "true scripture" that the Confucius house has been established for thousands of years. When the Manchu Qing Dynasty owned several northern provinces, Baba sent his younger brother Kong Yuanzhen to Zhenjiang. Xing Xing and Kong Yinzhi gave Zhu Shi early that year, and worshipped Emperor Yongchang of Dashun as a dragon.

However, compared to his father Kong Yinzhi, Kong Xingxie was a little more conservative. He did not dare to set up an incense case at the gate of Confucius' mansion, and directly announced his return to the Ming Dynasty.

Kong Xingxie's thoughts could not be concealed from Zhou Shixiang. This man is now betting on both sides, and the Ming Dynasty won. He sent his younger brother to express his surrender early, and the Xinchao side will definitely treat him well, Kong Xingxie. If the Qing Dynasty did not lose, he would still be Duke Yansheng of the Qing Dynasty. Even if the Qing court knew that he had been in contact with Nanbian, it would not kill him, but would comfort him. After all, the Confucius family in Qufu is not only the Duke of Yan Sheng, but also the successor of the great master, and the role model of the gentry in the world. To move him, Kong Xingxie, is to go against the world's Confucian scholars, no matter how stupid the Qing court is, it will not do such a thing.

It's a pity that Kong Xingxie met a person who played cards out of line, and his hot face stuck to Zhou Shixiang's cold ass. Zhou Shixiang didn't pay attention to it at all, and would never recognize the Qufu Confucius Mansion and the so-called Duke Yansheng. In his plan, the Confucius Mansion in Qufu will be uprooted, and there will be no more Duke Yansheng in the world.

Although Xu Yingyuan said that he had been brainwashed by Zhou Shixiang's various "strange theories" in the past few years, it was related to the descendants of Confucius and the Confucius mansion in Qufu. Yan Sheng Gong. Otherwise, no matter in the south or the north, all the scholars in the world would not support Daming, and even the emperor and all the civil servants in the court would not support Zhou Shixiang.

At the same time of strong opposition, Xu Yingyuan proposed a plan, that is, after the success of the Northern Expedition in the future, Quzhou Nankong can be relocated back to Qufu, and Nanzong can replace the soft head of Beizong.

The so-called Nanzong refers to Kong Duanyou, the forty-eighth grandson of Confucius who was Xifengyan Shenggong, after the Jin army occupied the Central Plains, he personally led his clan to go south with Gaozong and gave his family to Qu. After the fall of the Song Dynasty, the pseudo-yuan Kublai Khan asked the descendants of the Kong family to move back to Shandong from Quzhou. Completely settled in Quzhou. After the Ming Dynasty destroyed the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasty, Nanzong, the hereditary Five Classics Doctors.

Xu Yingyuan's plan seems very safe and easy to win people's hearts, because the Confucius Southern Sect has little blemishes compared to the Northern Sect, and letting them replace the Northern Sect will undoubtedly establish the righteousness and integrity of the Confucius Mansion in Qufu. Behind this plan is Xu Yingyuan's insistence that Confucianism cannot be abolished.

Zhou Shixiang was a little moved when he heard it. After all, this era was not his previous life. Confucianism has a deep-rooted influence on people's hearts. Whether it is in the court or in the countryside, the word Confucius has far more prestige than the emperor. More importantly, all scholars, or in other words, every literate person, are theoretically Confucian and Confucian disciples. Therefore, he wanted to completely abolish Confucianism, innovate politics, and establish a new school, which is equivalent to doing the opposite of scholars all over the world. In Chinese history, no one has dared to do this. The only one who did it, was attacked immediately after his death, and was stigmatized for decades.

Regarding Confucianism, although Zhou Shixiang was a scholar, he was actually half-hearted and did not understand deeply. But he is very clear that 100% of the malpractices of this era are derived from Confucianism, such as the folk clan, the imperial examinations of the imperial court, and the concept of governing the country.

Confucianism is a basket into which everything is put. For two thousand years, this basket no longer contains the original ideas of Confucius, but ideas that conform to the interests of the ruling class.

The interests of the ruling class will inevitably harm the interests of the common people. Confucianism needs the support of the rulers and must serve the rulers. Thus, this doctrine has stifled the creativity and pioneering of the Han people. At least, at the moment, it has completely become a shackle that binds Ming's development forward.

Zhou Shixiang wanted to reform the imperial examination, establish a new school, recruit scholars with new knowledge, and cultivate a new class of military meritocracy, so that the broken backbone of the Han nationality could be reconnected, so that it could stand proudly in the East again, and in this great voyage has come In the era of competition with Westerners, then Confucianism must be abolished. Because Confucianism has been closely related to this era, and if it is not completely abolished, all the measures Zhou Shixiang took are just building walls and filling holes in the rotten foundation. Even if a building is barely built, it will always collapse in the future. of.

In this world, there are individuals who betray classes, but there are no classes that betray classes.

Among the Confucian schools that have achieved dominance, there can be a few "deviations from the classics", but it is impossible for all of them to turn their backs on the Confucian schools that have brought them status and benefits.

Gu Yanwu, a great Confucian, is a member of the "deviation from the classics". His theory is actually completely different from the traditional thinking of Confucianism. Confucianism advocates loyalty to the monarch, but Gu Yanwu openly proposed a false monarch in the southern capital, and even in the big discussion, he believed that the affairs of the world can be handled by those who have the ability, and the emperor may not want it.

This, in Zhou Shixiang's hearing, must be deeply agreed. But to other Confucian disciples, it was no less like killing his parents.

Why did Huang Zongxi and others get the support of so many officials in Nandu? It can be said that 80% of the officials in the entire Nandu, including the chief assistant Guo Zhiqi, strongly opposed Gu Yanwu's Xu Junyi. The essence is that although Gu Yanwu did not explicitly state that Confucianism was useless, he had dug a hole in Confucianism. If this hole was not filled, then the dominance of Confucianism would definitely be severely damaged.

After reading the book of sages and worshiping the Confucian temple all my life, suddenly one day, the book of sages and sages has become a waste, and this Confucian temple has become a place where thousands of people reviled and disliked it. What should these people think and think?

Gu Yanwu's failure is expected, his opponents are all scholars, all officials and gentry of the Ming Dynasty. Since ancient times, when a new idea was born, it was bound to be violently counterattacked and suppressed by the old theory. This has nothing to do with whether the thought itself is correct or not, it is entirely attributable to interests.

Gu Yanwu's failure made Zhou Shixiang completely let go of his fantasies about being a scholar. He thought that even if Gu Yanwu could not gain a foothold in Nandu, he would still attract quite a number of gentry to vote, so that he could gather a new bureaucratic group that was in line with His Highness King Qi's philosophy. , so that he can have a bureaucratic team that can help him implement his policies. Even if one day in the future, he wants to take his place, there will be a group of people cheering for him.

The reality hit Zhou Shixiang mercilessly once again. Even if Jiangnan's debts and the three major cases have seriously weakened the gentry group in Jiangnan, even if the number of people killed by the anti-revolutionary movement is rolling, these scholars still refuse to bow their heads and admit their incompetence, admit that what they have learned is useless, and admit that the country has today. It is entirely their responsibility.

In the past, the formation of a "united front" to unite the anti-Qing forces has always been the most important thing for Zhou Shixiang.

This "united front" includes the army, officials, gentry, scholars, and even businessmen. As long as they are willing to fight against the Qing with him, even if they are not fighting on the front line, as long as they do not hold him back, Zhou Shixiang admits them and is willing to cooperate with them. Land, money, official hats, whatever he can give him. But now, this "united front" has become a chicken flank, and it is really tasteless.

The Loyalty Camp and a large group of local bandits continued to act as thieves in the past, and their destructive power was not weaker than the Qing army. If it weren't for the infighting between the father and the son, Zhou Shixiang would have the opportunity to take advantage of it. Now, I'm afraid it is another warlord group independent of the central government. The yamen of the court were all set up, but those who came in were all officials who were unwilling to help them sincerely. The recruitment order of the Qi Palace has been issued for so long, but few scholars have come to vote. The gentry refused to accept the food, so Zhou Shixiang was forced to use the knife. The scholars did not abandon the literature and join the army, and they learned from the class of Dingyuan. Instead, they made trouble for the interests of the landlords and gentry and their own interests. They also compiled countless novels and slandered the Taiping Army as rogues. Even, in order not to be deprived of their privileges and to maintain their influence in the clan, these people colluded with the Manchu Qing again.

The facts told Zhou Shixiang that if he wanted to reform, no one else could be trusted except the talents he cultivated.

After a night of thinking, Zhou Shixiang did not accept Xu Yingyuan's advice. He summoned Zhang An, the ambassador of the Department of Military Intelligence, and handed him a note.

Above, there are a few cold big characters "those who obey me advocate, those who oppose me perish".

Since it focuses on compromise, it is better to be aggressive.

Zhou Shixiang wanted to expand the suppression of the rebels, from the gentry who were open to the prisoners to all the scholars who refused to cooperate with him, whether they were officials or gentry, or students of Guozijian.

Only by overthrowing the old class can a new class be created.

It is true that there are many scholars, but there are more people. Compared with the huge base of people, conservative scholars are only a small part after all.

As long as he is loyal to himself, as long as he can mobilize the 200,000 Taiping soldiers who fought in the southern and northern wars, and as long as he can keep the people fed and clothed, Zhou Shixiang feels that he doesn't have to care about those so-called scholars, so-called Confucian scholars, The so-called Great Confucianism, and even the so-called descendants of Confucius.

The eight characters of Zhenjiang soon spread to the southern capital, to the hands of Zhou Dang, and to the garrison and pro-military.

Zhang An personally led people to Nandu, and took over Nanzhen from Zhou Baoguo, the commander of the pro-military army. Zhou Shixiang didn't give him much time. Zhang An only had one month. If the court in Nandu was not cleaned from top to bottom within a month, he would be remiss.

Zhou Shixiang passed a message to Yuan Kuoyu and Ding Zhixiang, telling them that he would go to Beijing at the end of May, and at that time, he would carry out political reforms.

In addition to bringing his brother Kong Xingxie's handwritten letter of "defection", Kong Xingzhen also told Zhou Shixiang a piece of good news about the movement of the Eight Banners garrisoned in Xuzhou.

According to Kong Xingzhen, an anti-Qing uprising broke out in Denglai, Shandong, led by a tycoon named Yu Qi.

Zhou Shixiang is no stranger to Yu Qi, because the military intelligence officers stationed by the Military Intelligence Department in Shandong have reported this person's information in detail.

From Zhou Shixiang's point of view, Yu Qi was a gangster and a green forest thief. According to the information of the Ministry of Military Intelligence, Yu Qi had attended school for several years and learned martial arts at the age of 14. In the second year of Chongzhen, he was admitted to Wu Xiucai, and the next year he was awarded the martial arts. He was heroic and just, and often resolved disputes for the villagers, so he had a high prestige in the local area and was loved by the people.

In the fifth year of Shunzhi, Yu Qi mobilized hundreds of gold panners to unite with farmers from all over Jiaodong to launch an uprising against the Qing Dynasty. He led a thousand people to attack Ninghai Prefecture and showed Liu Wenqi's head to the public. Because the Manchu government was mainly dealing with the Daxi army, and had no time to take care of Shandong, it asked Zhang Shangxian, the prefect of Dengzhou, to come forward and adopt the policy of empathy, recruiting Yu Qi as Qixia's commander-in-chief. After Yu Qi surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, he had been secretly and secretly reversing the Qing Dynasty by using the general identity.

In the original time and space, the cause of Yu Qi's uprising was Zheng Jun's entry into the Yangtze River, but now, it is entirely because of Zhou Shixiang.

Hearing that a scholar in Guangdong raised an army and killed several princes of the Qing Dynasty one after another, and after restoring the southern capital ~www.novelbuddy.com~ Yu Qidou was encouraged, and decided not to wait any longer, and immediately launched an army to respond. Because of suffering from the tyranny of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, after the Seven Uprisings, the people of the two Denglai Prefectures responded one after another, and the anti-Qing fire has burned all over Jiaodong. When Kong Yuanzhen came to Zhenjiang, the Qing court's auxiliary minister, Sony, had secretly ordered Beiletuntai, who was stationed in Xuzhou, to send a small number of Eight Banner soldiers to join the Shandong Green Camp to attack Yuqi.

Sony gave Tuntai a strict order to suppress the Yuqi Uprising as quickly as possible, and then return to Xuzhou immediately, so that the Taiping army in front of him must not perceive the emptiness of Xuzhou.

It has to be said that Tuntai's secrecy work has been done very well. The Taiping Army military intelligence officers dispatched in Xuzhou did not find that the eight banners garrisoned in the city had quietly moved to Shandong. Although the MI personnel from Shandong knew about the Yu Qi uprising in Denglai and sent people to contact Yu Qi, they did not know that the Eight Banners soldiers from Xuzhou had quietly moved to Shandong.

Kong Xingxie was able to know that Tuntai brought the Eight Banners to Shandong entirely because of his identity as Duke Yansheng. In the eyes of Zhou Shixiang, this Duke Yansheng was inferior, but in the eyes of the Qing court, he was still valuable. Therefore, after the anti-Qing uprising broke out in Shandong, the Qing court was afraid that the rebel army would threaten the Confucius Mansion in Qufu, so Sony asked Shandong to send a green camp to Qufu to prevent the Confucius Mansion from being lost. After Tuntai entered Shandong, they also specially dispatched a group of Manzhou Eight Banners soldiers with less than 30 people to serve as **** in the Confucius Mansion. As a result, Kong Xingxie learned that the Eight Banners garrisoned in Xuzhou had entered Shandong, and he asked his younger brother to disclose the news to Zhou Shixiang, which was entirely a gesture of goodwill and a request for credit.
