Zheng Yan wanted to put things to rest, but the problem was that Xu Guangqi quit.
As a devout believer, how could he tolerate his belief being slandered as a cult?
Xu Guangqi suddenly became full of fire, eloquent and eloquent.
When it comes to cursing, no one in the entire Yushitai has as much knowledge as him. He has learned everything and quoted scriptures, which is what others have left behind. No matter how the Donglin Party gets involved, he can always stop them quickly. Stop, and then quote the scriptures and whip them hard until the eyes of these birdmen are like stars.
"What, Liaodong destroyed Huayi's defense?"
Xu Guangqi first started talking about the Hua-Yi debate from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. The main criterion for distinguishing the Hua-Yi debate was the presence or absence of Chinese etiquette. After the Han and Jin Dynasties, the main criterion for distinguishing between Huayi and Huayi was based on blood relationship.
Influenced by modern Western ethnic theories, many scholars believe that there was no nationalism in ancient China. However, in fact, the most prominent expression of the ancient people's national consciousness was the "Hua-Yi distinction". The "Hua-Yi distinction" has a profound nationalist flavor. Therefore, the ancient Chinese had the strongest nationalist spirit rarely seen in history. The pre-Qin Chinese strictly distinguished the advanced Chinese people from the backward barbarians based on culture (a complex of clothing, etiquette, thoughts, morals, etc.). The Han and Jin Dynasties began to use blood as the main factor to differentiate.
Let’s start with a cultural point of view. Foreign language courses have never been offered in formal schools in Liaodong. All missionaries in Liaodong must preach in Chinese. After they came to Liaodong, even God wore Chinese clothes, no matter in the church. The murals and statues must strictly comply with Liaodong's regulations.
Regardless of whether they are Protestants or Catholics, their believers are not allowed to wear clerical uniforms and can only wear priest robes. They do not change their hair and do not change their clothes. The Bible is also translated in Chinese.
In terms of blood relationship, current basic statistics show that there are a total of 5,763 foreigners in Liaodong, of which 1,952 are women, and there is not a single case of intermarriage with the Ming Dynasty.
Dozens of wealthy businessmen purchased foreign concubines, but concubines were just property. Even if they gave birth to mixed-race children, they would still be discriminated against in the Ming Dynasty.
Without changing cultural habits, how can we break the defense between Huayi and Huayi?
Without intermarriage, how could the bloodline be ruined?
Liaodong is still the Liaodong of the Ming Dynasty. How did it destroy the defense of Huayi?
When it comes to official appointments, in the entire Ming Dynasty, only Emperor Chongzhen appointed 26 foreigners as officials. Among them, the one with the highest official position was Qin Tianjian Zhengtang Ruowang, who was in the fifth rank, and there were 26 school ministers, Lang Zhengjiu, or Ninth rank. .
In Liaodong, Cheng Shijie did not appoint any foreigner as an official.
Women competing with men on the same stage, destroying moral ethics?
It’s a joke, it’s not uncommon for women to become officials in the Ming Dynasty. Under the leadership of Qin Liangyu, the Shimen Sichuan Army of Sichuan served as the Shizhu Xuanzong Envoy, led the Shizhu Sichuan Army to suppress the She Chongming Rebellion, went north to King Qin, recovered the four cities of Yongping, and rushed to the aid of Daling River. Their military exploits were outstanding. Emperor Chongzhen personally met with Qin Liangyu and issued a The decree also commended Qin Liangyu as the second-grade royal wife, and he wrote four poems in praise of Qin Liangyu.
In ancient times, Hua Mulan joined the army on behalf of her father, but now Qin Liangyu leads the army on behalf of her husband. What kind of ethics have been destroyed?
As for Cheng Shijie's collusion between government and businessmen to compete for profits with the people, well, even if they colluded with government and businessmen to compete for profits from the people, what would be the result?
The result is that the per capita income in Liaodong now exceeds 30 taels of silver, an increase of one-third from last year. It is richer than the two capitals and thirteen provinces of the Ming Dynasty, and even richer than the capital city. People can compete with the people for profit and get richer. , is it weird?
For the first time, Emperor Chongzhen discovered that Xu Guangqi was so fierce in battle and had the style of Zhuge Liang in fighting with the Confucian scholars. Zheng Yan, the number one troll in the Yushitai, was rendered speechless by the trolls.
More importantly, Xu Guangqi not only scolded, but also took action. The censors who were slapped with a wat (hù) were in a panic. It was not that Xu Guangqi was good at fighting. Those censors all knew that Xu Guangqi was highly respected in the Ming Dynasty, and The old gentleman is already over seventy years old. If there is any evil, they will be sinners through the ages. If they want to be recorded in the history books, they will be infamy for thousands of years.
Emperor Chongzhen was very happy to see Xu Guangqi's fighting power. He didn't expect that Xu Guangqi's fighting power was so strong. The rebel party failed to take any advantage in this unprecedentedly fierce war of words.
What dissatisfied them was that Wen Tiren, the first assistant, had not said a word since Xu Guangqi opened his mouth, except for provoking the fight at the beginning, as if he had made up his mind to stay out of the matter.
Wen Tiren really had no interest in rushing back and forth to catch up on this muddy water. He knew what these Donglin Party members were up to. They just wanted to concoct a big incident, muddy the water, drag him down, and then look for flaws in him to see if they could get rid of him. Knock him down so that Zhou Yanru can come back. It's an old trick.
If he was really deceived by the so-called "righteousness" and helped the Donglin Party to bring down Nanyang, then he was really stupid. There is indeed a lot of money to be made by overthrowing Liaodong. The problem is that he does not have many cronies and cannot take over the Donglin Party. In the end, he will take advantage of others. He will not do such a thankless and stupid thing.
Wen Shoufu was even thinking about whether he could use this opportunity to bring Cheng Shijie to his side. After all, he was a man of low words and needed a backer...
Cheng Shijie, who is in Liaodong, presented the Champions Cup to the Haizhou team that won the team award. This trophy is made of real gold and weighs eight pounds, eight taels and eight cents.
Shen Boyun raised the trophy and was very happy. As a businessman, all walks of life in the Liaodong Athletic Conference made a lot of money in the town. In addition to the people of Liaodong, there were thousands of people from all over the country, bringing hundreds of thousands of taels of consumption to Liaodong. .
Mr. Cheng did not publicize it on a large scale this time, and the time was too short. Some people just heard about it and it was already over.
"Cheng Shuai!"
Cheng Shijie had just awarded medals to the top three fighters, and Gao Qiqian came to Cheng Shijie with a worried look on his face.
"Oh, Eunuch Gao, you're late, the competition is over!"
"You don't know yet!"
"This time the capital is in turmoil. There are more than 300 ministers impeaching you!"
Queen Zhou frowned slightly when she heard this: "Gao Daban, who is going to impeach Cheng Qing?"
Gao Qiqian told Cheng Shijie and Queen Zhou what had happened in the court. Of course, Gao Qiqian was not a good bird either. Cao Huachun once again had an idea for the Wusongkou Inspection Department. This was because he knew how to pay for it. He didn't want to hand over the hen that had laid eggs to Wu Songkou.
The high dive adds fuel to the fire, making the reverse process extremely dangerous.
Cheng Shijie didn't care on the surface. After all, Ning Haijun was now the number one military town in the Ming Dynasty, surpassing Guan Ning's army. With Ning Haijun in hand, who could do anything to him?
No matter what you do, you must rely on strength. How can you dream of knocking down a powerful person with just one mouth? If Emperor Chongzhen naively thought that he could be captured and taken back with an imperial edict, that would be a lot of fun.
However, you are not afraid of returning, but you have to fight back when someone slaps you in the face. The Donglin Party is digging holes for Cheng Shijie, and Cheng Shijie is also digging holes for the Donglin Party.
…
Yanzhou Prefecture, Shandong Province, is located in the southwest of Shandong Province. It is also the junction of the four provinces of Shandong, Shandong, Henan and Anhui in later generations. Now it is not four provinces, but the junction of three provinces, Shandong, Henan and Nanzhili.
Since ancient times, Shandong has had strong folk customs and the most rebellious spirit. The so-called Shandong thieves, in fact, this Shandong thieves is not a derogatory term, but because the bandits in Shandong hang bells around their horses' necks, and they will be beaten even if they are far away. heard movement.
It also means that they don’t lay any hidden arrows and are aboveboard. When you hear the bell, it means telling me that I’m going to rob you. If you are willing to resist, be prepared. If you don’t want to resist, put down your money and leave.
After Song Xiance and Lin Xuzong left Liaodong, they came to Yanzhou Prefecture. Song Xiance returned to his hometown of Yongcheng, Guide Prefecture alone, and recruited hundreds of young men from Yongcheng. Using the swords and guns they brought from Liaodong, including Ning Haijun who was born in Officers, train these young men.
In a short period of time, Song Xiance and Lin Xunzong opened up a situation in Huanggang Town in Shan County. Song Xiance used his status as a charlatan and with the help of Lin Xunzong and other stooges, he quickly gained a reputation and was known as the divine fortune teller.
Ma Yuan, a wealthy local man in Shan County, and his youngest son Ma Baolin were getting married, so he went to the street to buy a lot of new dishes and chopsticks to prepare for the wedding day. The whole family was also excited about the upcoming happy event, but that night, their good mood was ruined by a group of crows.
That night, after Ma Yuanwai's family fell asleep, there was a rapid knock on the door. Ma Baoshan, the eldest son of Ma Yuanwai, was shocked when he opened the door. I saw countless crows flying out of the door and circling in the courtyard.
Rural people think that crows are unlucky. If they fly outside their houses, does it mean that something bad will happen? When Ma Yuanwai saw this, his youngest son was going to get married soon, and he couldn't let this crow ruin the event.
After thinking of this, the horseman ordered his servants to drive away the crows. The servants picked up brooms in the courtyard and beat the crows viciously. The crow hurriedly flew high in the sky and circled. The horseman had no choice but to go back to his house to rest. But who would have thought that as soon as he lay down, there were another series of hurried knocks on the door. When he opened the door, he found that it was the crows making trouble again.
Many of the crow's mischiefs were spread in Shan County. There were all kinds of rumors. Some said that Ma Yuanwai had done evil and offended the city god. Some people also said that he bullied men and women and offended the gods. Some people also say that he forced Liu Shizhu's family who owed him money to death, and the wronged souls demanded their lives.
At a critical moment, Song Xiance took action and solved the problem of crows crashing into the door in one fell swoop. In fact, crows like to eat carrion, and even a certain amount of carrion will attract the crow's sense of smell. Song Xiance asked someone to smear some carrion on the wooden door of Ma Yuan's house in advance. People couldn't smell it at all, but crows could.
Of course, Song Xiance gave Ma Yuanwai some cinnabar and paint to refresh, and sure enough the crows no longer appeared the next day. In an instant, Song Xiance became Ma Yuanwai's master.
With the help of Ma Yuanwai, a local snake, Song Xiance's nephew Jiang Wubing bought land and property in Shanxian County. Under Ma Yuanwai's recommendation, Song Xiance successfully bought more than 2,600 acres in Huanggang at a cost of only 4,800 One hundred taels of silver.
Among them, only 800 taels of silver were actually purchased, and 4,000 taels were used for bribes. More than 2,600 acres of land were bought. Song Xiance did not farm in Huanggang, but mined coal mines. Since Shandong needed There was too little coal, so Song Xiance transported the refined coke to Liaodong for sale.
The Yellow River was mainly concentrated in the southern part of Shan County. It was not until 855 that the Yellow River changed its course from the Tongwaxiang breach in Lanfeng County, Henan, taking the Daqing River northward and flowing into the Bohai Sea, which is the current course of the Yellow River.
Since Shan County has the convenience of the lower reaches of the Yellow River, the mined coal can be transported to Liaodong through the Yellow River, which made Song Xiance earn a lot of money. In fact, Song Xiance did not do it to make money, but to rebel.
He used the money he earned to directly purchase grain, weapons, guns and equipment in Liaodong and transported them to Shan County. He built the Huanggang Coal Mine into a small town and attracted more than 6,000 coal miners to work here.
However, Song Xiance's swagger naturally attracted the attention of the powerful people in Shandong. You must know that there are as many powerful people in Shandong as dogs. The first person who saw Huanggang's interests was Zhu Yihai, the younger brother of King Lu's brother Zhu Yipai.
Although Zhu Yihai is the younger brother of King Zhu Yipai of the State of Lu, in fact he has no chance of inheriting the throne of King Lu and can only wait to die. Zhu Yihai has a good relationship with Zhu Yipai. Jin, Zhu Yihai was moved.
Zhu Yipai asked people to negotiate with Song Xiance, and offered to buy Song Xiance's coal mine at a price of 30,000 taels of silver. To be fair, 30,000 taels of silver was already a lot, equivalent to three or four months' profit of the Huanggang Coal Mine.
Song Xiance must be dissatisfied. In fact, what he wants is the government's plundering and plundering. Without plundering and plundering, how can there be any conflict? If Song Xiance was willing, Huanggang Coal Mine could earn 30,000 to 40,000 taels of silver a month, but in fact, Song Xiance did not. He paid high wages to the miners, built houses for them, established a school for the children of miners, and learned from Cheng Shijie's skills. Liaodong's policy established a welfare system for miners.
Two-thirds of the monthly profits are spent on miners. It can be said that the Huanggang Coal Mine in Shandong is a replica of Liaodong. On this day, Song Xiance returned to Huanggang Village with a bloody face.
Seeing Song Xiance's tragic scene, everyone hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Mr. Song, what's wrong with you?"
Song Xiance's eyes were closed tightly until the doctor at the mine administered medicine and injected acupuncture, finally making Song Xiance wake up.
After Song Xiance woke up, he looked at everyone and shed silent tears.
The mines were anxious, Lin Xunzong said: "Mr. Song, what happened?"
"We have no way to survive!"
"what happened?"
"Prince Lu's Mansion!" Song Xiance said with a mournful face: "Prince Lu's Mansion gave us an ultimatum. If we don't agree to sell the coal mine, they will add three more tax cards!"
"Moreover, plus the money we make from selling coal, it's not enough to pay taxes!"
"They are trying to force us to death!"
"Prince Lu and his bastards want to skin us!"
"This is life!"
Song Xiance looked at the crowd and said, "Second Master, let's see how much money we have left. Give it to everyone, and everyone should run away for their lives!"
"Why?"
"Those bastards from Prince Lu's Mansion, if they get the coal mine, let alone the money, we won't even be able to have a full meal!"
"While you still have some strength, run away as far as possible. Otherwise, it will be difficult to die if they catch you!"
Song Xiance narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the indignant miners around him. These miners were just a pile of dry firewood, and they only needed to add a few sparks.
Soon, Mars came.
The steward of Prince Lu's Mansion came to Huanggang with a team of guards. The steward of Prince Lu's Mansion, Da Ma Jin Dao, sat at the gate of the town and said arrogantly: "Come out, this mine will belong to Prince Lu's Mansion from now on!" (End of Chapter)
