On the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month in the twentieth year of Chongzhen's reign in the Ming Dynasty, Jinan Prefecture, Crouching Tiger Mountain, and the entire valley were immersed in grief and grief.
Today is the day when the coffins of Yanshenggong Kong Yinzhi and Yanshenggong’s eldest son Kong Xingxie, who died heroically to defend Qufu and Konglin, arrived at Crouching Tiger Mountain.
The gentry of Jinan Prefecture who had taken refuge in the valley, as well as the scholars who had received the news early in the morning and came all the way from Qingzhou Prefecture, Laizhou Prefecture, Dengzhou Prefecture and other places to see off Yan Shenggong and his son, were waiting at the entrance of the valley early in the morning. , the atmosphere was extremely solemn.
Before the hearse and the officers and soldiers guarding the body arrived, the preachers organized by the Shandong Branch of the Donglin Party were already on the pass every ten steps inside and outside the Gukou City Pass. They stood separately and began to loudly preach the heroic deeds of Yan Shenggong and his son.
"Although our Duke Yan is a scholar and has no power to tie a chicken, he showed no fear when faced with the incoming waves of barbarians. He sat at the top of the city of Qufu and commanded calmly. He did not lead his troops until the city was broken. Break through the siege, and finally pledge yourself to the country..."
"Prince Yansheng is truly worthy of being the descendant of Confucius after the first saint. Although he does not have the power to kill thieves, he has the intention to kill thieves. After the city of Qufu was destroyed, he still commanded his servants to fight with the prisoners in the city, and was finally shot by random arrows. And death is really heroic and fierce!"
"Before he was seriously injured and about to die, Duke Yansheng once said: I only hope that the next generation of Duke Yansheng can have the courage of his ancestors, be able to wear strong weapons, lead the army, and display the Hulu regent among thousands of armies... .”
"The last words of Prince Yansheng: A direct descendant of the first sage should be elected as the best scholar in the world. He should be proficient in the six arts, be unparalleled in loyalty and courage, have the heart to kill thieves, and also have the power to recover! Only in this way can he set an example for the Confucian scholars in the world. ..."
Of course, what this group of Donglin "preachers" said is true, truer than real gold, and has been written into history!
The father and son Kong Yin-sik and Kong Heung-seop will leave their names in history! Not only will he leave his name in history, but he will also be buried with great splendor.
It is impossible to be buried in Qufu. Qufu is still in the hands of the Donglu, and the rebel emperor Amadorgun is taking his 100,000 "local masters" there to "raise the coffin and make a fortune"! Even if the father and son Kong Yinzhi and Kong Xingxie went to Qufu to bury them, they still had to dig them out.
Therefore, father and son Kong Yinzhi and Kong Xingxie will not be buried in Qufu, and certainly not in Wohu Mountain in Jinan Prefecture. Their coffins are now only paraded around Shandong (areas controlled by the Ming Dynasty) to encourage Shandong scholars to resist the invaders. Fighting spirit.
As for the final burial place of the two people, they will choose Houshi Mountain in Lushunkou, which is the 203 Highlands, according to their last wishes.
The reason why they are buried there is mainly to civilize the ghosts of Donglu... If they can't civilize Emperor Amadorgun alive, they have to go underground to civilize Nurhaci and Huang Taiji even after they die!
Such Duke Yansheng and his eldest son truly lived up to their ancestors and their country!
The only pity is that the skills of educating the barbarians were a little poor, and they were destroyed by the barbarians... This is a bloody lesson! To civilize barbarians, we cannot just have moral articles, we must also have means. If you want to educate the barbarians, you have to be like the great Confucians of the Confucius era. Being nine feet tall is innate and there is no way to learn from it, but you can train yourself to become taller, rounder, and stronger!
It is estimated that in future history books, all the seventy-two sages of Confucius will be such ruthless characters!
If you take off your robe, you will look like the Three Hundred Heroes of Sparta...
At this moment, at the end of the official road outside Crouching Tiger Valley, a large white flag suddenly appeared with a large black hole on it, followed by seven or eight more white flags, rolling and rolling, and then there was a shimmering cold The tip of the gun. At the end, hundreds of warriors in white clothes and armor, carrying long spears on their shoulders, appeared in everyone's sight, surrounded by two ox carts each carrying a huge coffin.
Behind the oxcart, a group of disciples of the Kong family wearing linen clothes followed, crying and crying. The leader was Kong Yinzheng, the favorite for the next Holy Gong.
This guy was crying so sadly and howling so loudly that he was so angry! And there are lines!
"Brother Shenggong, you died a heroic death. You are worthy of being a saint. You are indeed an example for the Confucian sect. I, Kong Yin, swear that I will kill Dorgon with my own hands and avenge you! I will definitely kill the barbarians from the East. Educate them all into Confucian gentlemen and fulfill your old man’s last wish..."
Not to mention, this vulgar person is still very aware of current affairs. He is both rough and subtle!
In fact, when Shi Kefa invited Kong Yinzhi to taste Heding red wine that day, he was not drunk at all, but pretended to be drunk. The fact that he could only recite half of the "Analects" does not mean that he was stupid. That was because he was born in this country. In the era of war and chaos, we didn't put much effort into "The Analects" at all, and all our energy was spent on guns, sticks, bows and arrows.
Moreover, in the past two or three years, he was always sent to Qufu for "adventures" by Kong Yinzhi, and he always came back safe and sound, which shows how smart he is.
As soon as he saw Shi Kefa's face that day, he knew that Kong Yinzhi was dead, and whether he would die or not would depend on his performance.
So he tried his best to show off, and pretended to be drunk after Hu Chihai had a drink!
Later, Shi Kefa persuaded Kong Yinzhi to drink, but Kong Yinzhi refused to drink. Huang Degong pinched Kong Yinzhi's nose and poured wine, and Kong Yinzhi screamed and died after drinking Hedinghong (this Hedinghong was indeed a fake shoddy), in the end Huang Degong had to stab Kong Yinzhi to death with a sword, etc., he knew everything... he was an eyewitness to the murder case!
However, he remained motionless and pretended to sleep. It was not until Huang Degong's soldiers came in to deal with the murder scene that he yawned and woke up. Then he learned the bad news that Yan Shenggong Kong Yinzhi had committed suicide by taking poison out of shame. .....
Because of his good performance, Shi Kefa recommended him to be a candidate for the next Yanshenggong.
What? Was Yan Shenggong elected?
In the past, it was not chosen, it was hereditary, but starting from the next term, Duke Yan Sheng will have to choose. It is not an election, but the Emperor of Ming Dynasty selects a Duke Yansheng from among the young and strong Kong family members who can become a model for Confucian scholars in the world.
In addition, Yan Shenggong will also receive the title of "The Best Scholar in the World", which symbolizes that he is a role model and role model for scholars all over the world.
The earliest meaning of a scholar is a person who serves, that is, a person who can do things for the monarch (the princes, ministers and officials) can be called a scholar.
People who are incapable of doing things cannot be called scholars.
What Saint Kong did back then, besides propagating his political ideals and seeking his path (all without success), was to "educate without distinction", that is, he was willing to train common people into scholars, that is, to be able to serve as a substitute for princes and princes. Qing Dafu is a person who does things.
Such a taxi cannot only write eight-legged essays. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, which prince, minister or official would spend money to raise a group of rotten scholars who could only write eight-legged essays?
Those civilians who want to find jobs with princes and officials must be able to cut people, collect accounts, and shoot arrows!
If all of the hundreds of thousands of talented people in the Ming Dynasty could be proficient in slashing and archery (including making firecrackers), Donglu and rogue bandits would not be a problem.
So he needs a Yanshenggong like Kong Yinzheng, who is similar to the sage Confucius, to serve as a role model for Confucian scholars in the world!
As for whether hundreds of thousands of murderers will become a bigger trouble, Zhu Cixiang doesn't worry about it now... As a king in troubled times, he will not worry about the leisurely thoughts of a king in prosperous times. Woolen cloth!
There are two things he has to worry about now. One is how to educate the Donglu; the second is how to annex the strength of the four major warlords in Shandong!
After the Battle of Guishan and Dorgon's capture of Qufu, it seemed that the matter of civilizing the Eastern captives had to be postponed. But the opportunity to annex the Shandong warlords came...
When Dorgon occupied Qufu and was happily digging graves to retrieve treasures, Zhu Cihong led his troops back to Wohu Mountain City in Jinan Prefecture. While delivering the goods for Kong Yinzhi and Kong Xingxie, he began planning to reorganize the Shandong armies. .
Since the Shandong armies were violently beaten by Dorgon, it means that they are still a little bit behind and must continue to improve. They must improve into the Central Model Army!
