Chapter 406 The Martyrs
In the land of the Ming Dynasty, after the Republic, there was another Datong Kingdom.
Of course, it is only Xi'an City for the time being.
But at least there is no problem in Guanzhong. The signing process of these elders is actually very exciting, and there is basically nothing that really resists. At most, they just twisted their minds. After all, this is the social state they dream of.
Villages and villages make the decision.
Who is the hometown elder?
It must be the landlord in this village, which is actually the clarification of the power of the landlord.
The county officials are decided by the township genius association. The township elders are small landlords, the township elders are middle landlords, and the veterans are big landlords. In this way, the pyramid structure is trampling on the unruly people below.
That's the case now, the gentry loves this to death.
Under their control, all local officials are their dogs. They will do whatever they want, and will squeeze the tenants as they want, and even just like in the prosperous era of the Great Yuan Dynasty, they will directly play serfization. This is actually the inevitable result of this order. In the prosperous era of the Great Yuan Dynasty, they have to serve first-class people and fight against second-class people. But now they are a complex of first-class people and second-class people. They are the controllers of regimes and they are also the controllers of wealth. It can be said that all the beauty of the Great Yuan Dynasty has, but all the bad ones are gone.
The perfect world.
This is also equivalent to locking the level and locking the class.
The first level is always maintained, although this is equivalent to blocking the upward channel and there is no possibility of rising at the bottom.
But……
Whether it is the current local genius or the veteran, they are all vested interests?
Why do they have to consider this issue?
They do not need to consider the lower level of upward channels. What they need to consider is to block the lower level of upward channels so that they no longer have to worry about being stepped on by the rising bottom. So in a sense, there is nothing wrong with the world's harmony and the prosperity of Confucianism. In this way, they have established a pure Confucian system of principles, or a stable and unchanging hierarchy system, at most they do not want the emperor to exceed the principles.
But this can explain.
What they lack the least is their ability to explain.
The key is that for these vested interests, they get what they want.
Of course, it must be kept.
But this does not need to be considered for the time being. After all, no matter how Yang Feng expands, it will not threaten Shaanxi in a short period of time.
At most, there are two vassal states, Zhang Shijue and You Jixian, but these two vassal states are easy to deal with. The new army formed in Shaanxi during this period is not weak. They already have 50,000 new troops and introduced the new army tactics of Huguang. However, because there is no shortage of horses, the 50,000 new troops even have 20,000 cavalry.
As long as they do not attack the main force of the Red Turban Army, they are not worried about anything.
After all, the environment in Guanzhong is too suitable for defense. If Tongguan is blocked, the Red Turban Army, which relies heavily on logistics, cannot even attack.
If that's the case, what are they afraid of?
And more importantly, this is just the beginning of the Donglin Group's uprising.
Feng Congwu wanted to use Shaanxi's independence to drive other places to imitate. He, Xu Fuyuan, and Shu Yuejing, the director of Bailudong Academy in Jiangxi, and Meng Huali from Henan. However, Meng Huali had already died of illness at this time. However, several disciples Zhang Xinmin, Wang Yiwu and others continued to control the lectures in western Henan, and were actually the leaders of Confucianism in Henan. These were all named Donglin, and they influenced each other in their thoughts, gradually forming a common political concept, and establishing a Datong society as their ideal.
Including opposition to the alliance with Yang Feng.
Because they all knew very well that alliances were prepared to surrender.
But the question is why surrender?
If it was indeed impossible to beat Yang Feng in the past, he was very desperate in front of him, but now Yang Feng has all the ones they have.
They have countless cannons, countless muskets, countless new fortresses...
Why did they surrender?
Why can't we work together to resist?
Yang Feng had no Confucian position, and he was the end of Confucianism when he got the world. His school did not study the Four Books and Five Classics or Confucian classics. He had his own educational system. This is what Confucian scholars hated the most and the reason why Confucian scholars were irreconcilable with him. The Shandong scholars initially called for blood to protect the religion with blood was not alarmist, but really urgently needed. If they did not protect the religion with blood, Confucianism would be kicked into the garbage dump, and like the messy schools in ancient times, there was only one noun left.
The more true the Confucian disciples are, the less they have to retreat. Instead, those who rely solely on Confucianism to gain fame will surrender.
A true Confucian scholar can only fight.
There is no other choice.
If the emperor does not resist, they abandon the emperor. If the gentry does not resist, they force the gentry to resist. For real Confucian scholars, everything is not important in the face of the principle of defending the way, and loyalty to the emperor is not worth mentioning. Since ancient times, there have been more emperors who have kneeled down. The greater the Confucian scholars, the clearer the emperor is, and the more clearer they are. The so-called loyalty to the emperor is just to cater to the ruler. The true Confucian scholars are only loyal to their own way, and they also do not care about interests. In the face of true martyrs, the interests are not worth mentioning.
So they must find ways to tie as many people as possible to the Confucian chariot and fight with Confucianism to apologize for the religion.
As for the retreat...
Do martyrs need to care about retreat?
People like Feng Congwu don’t care about life and death at all.
They are true Confucian scholars.
They can be martyred for the apologies, they don’t even care about their own lives, and of course they won’t leave any way out for others.
All the gentry wants is to follow them to fight for the apology.
Even if the family is searched together.
the next day.
"The world is united and Confucianism is prosperous!"
"The world is united and Confucianism is prosperous!"
...
The Confucian scholars who were like chicken blood, one by one, walked towards the Lingxing Gate of the Qin King's Mansion under the gaze of the people watching on both sides...
"Thief!"
Zhu Yihan, the King of Qin at Lingxing Gate, roared in grief and anger.
Next to him were the royal families of Qin Fan, all of whom were sad and angry, and they were holding various weapons like their ancestors, and posing as if they were possessed by their ancestors, and they were only young and strong in these royal families. Although there were actually quite a few, they were almost rushing for a thousand, but in fact they were just struggling in vain.
A group of pigs that have been raised for two hundred years, and they have no other ability except eating, drinking, and having fun. What can they do?
As for the officials...
There are no subordinate officials? Nowadays, local officials are elected by the council. Who would have elected subordinate officials for the royal palace, including the original subordinate officials, has also run away?
No one paid them a salary, so I won’t leave and keep it for myself?
As for the guards...
Qin Fan still had some guards.
But their guards are military households!
The officer took the ground and turned into a gentry in a blink of an eye. Isn’t this delicious?
"Emperor Taizu Gao, open your eyes and take a look at these traitors!"
Zhu Yihan looked up to the sky and felt sad.
The next moment, six field cannons in front of Lingxing Gate sprayed flames. As the fierce shells hit, the wooden and iron-covered city gate fell down, and then the new army waiting outside shouted and moved forward.
The royal families on the city wall attacked with grief and anger, but most of them did not know how to use weapons. At most they would just throw a stone, and they couldn't throw it far. But they still resisted and did not insult their ancestors.
Of course, resistance is meaningless after all.
New soldiers rushed in with their jaw-built bird guns, and soldiers behind them followed with cannons.
On the city wall, Zhu Yihan and his royal families continued to throw stones out, and fired out with three-eyed guns, just like Chongzhen in the last few hours of his life.
Their resistance finally angered the new army outside.
Although the three-eyed gun could no longer move the new armor, throwing a few bricks from the top of the head would still easily kill people.
Several soldiers raised their bird guns without hesitation and opened fire directly on the city wall. Then the three royal families screamed and fell. The soldiers who were not very confident looked at Xin Shouen, the new army supervisor who led them. After all, this was also the Fengzi Longsun. Qin Fan was in charge of Xi'an for two hundred years, and the people still had fear of them. These soldiers were inevitably unable to let go. However, Xin Shoujun sat there guarding the tea table, but he just picked up the teacup and blew the tea inside indifferently. The soldiers immediately understood, and then raised the bird guns and pulled the trigger at the Fengzi Longsun on the Xiao Wall.
The phoenix and dragon grandchildren screamed and fell.
Zhu Yichen was stunned.
The phoenix and dragon grandchildren on Xiao Wall were also dumbfounded.
"King, why are you doing this? The Senate has an order. Although he is no longer a monarch and minister with the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, the king's clan has been here for two hundred years and is also an old neighbor. As long as you leave honestly, you will still be allowed to carry some of your own belongings. But if you want to resist to the end, then we can only be rude."
Xin Shouen said.
"You are all disciples of sages. Is this the way of sages?"
Zhu Yihan said in grief and anger.
"Yes, this is the way of the sages. The ancestors of the Great King started their own business as a beggar and enjoyed the country for two hundred years. The blessings and fortunes are unprecedented. However, the destiny of heaven is over, and now it is over. We are all disciples of sages and wise men. We know that the destiny of heaven will eventually come to a destination, so we have no choice but to lead the people of the Three Qins to protect themselves and wait for the sage Lord to come to the world. However, the destiny of the Zhu family has ended, so why should we secretly occupy his position?
The king should go honestly!"
Xin Shouen said.
"The world is united and Confucianism is prosperous!"
"The world is united and Confucianism is prosperous!"
...
Hui Shiyang continued to shout with those Confucian scholars in a state of disgust.
Zhu Yichen and his royal family couldn't help crying loudly on the Xiao Wall. Below them, the new soldiers continued to pour in. Soon the sound of cannons sounded again, which was blasting open the Duanli Gate of the main gate of the palace. As the city gate was blown open, the Qin vassal that had been guarding Xi'an for two hundred years ended in fact.
Zhu Yichen and his tribe members finally walked down Xiao Yun in tears.
"The most important thing is the day when I left the temple in a hurry, the church still played the farewell song!
This is still missing the song of parting. Send the order to fire a gun to the king and see him off!"
Xin Shouen said with a teacup.
Chapter completed!
