The impressive efficiency of the Southern Song Dynasty officials made it impossible for them to complete tasks within the prescribed time.
And this period of time was enough for the content of "Hongwu Political Commentary" to spread explosively in the Southern Song Dynasty, causing waves of public opinion turmoil.
The most obvious result is that Zhao Min heard that Su Yonglin was from the Song Dynasty.
Because Su Yonglin wrote it and broke the news himself, the fact that he was from the Song Dynasty swept most of the Song Dynasty in a short period of time. Even if the Southern Song Dynasty officials tried their best to suppress the news, they could not stop Youyou from talking about it.
The people of the Southern Song Dynasty were confused.
Why did a Song Dynasty man go to the Ming Dynasty to become emperor?
People with some knowledge are even more confused.
How could a person from the Song Dynasty go to the Kingdom of Jin to rebel and then establish the Kingdom of Ming?
What way?
Because they were extremely curious about this kind of news, a large number of people in the Song Dynasty, without knowing that the imperial ban had been issued, went everywhere to ask if they had "Hongwu Political Treatise" and looked for traces of "Hongwu Political Treatise" everywhere, just to relieve their doubts.
Compared with the difficulty for ordinary people to obtain "Hongwu Political Treatise", it is very difficult for the middle and upper class society in the Southern Song Dynasty, where literate people gathered, to obtain "Hongwu Political Treatise".
Either through merchants or teachers, anyway, they easily obtained the genuine copy of "Hongwu Political Treatise" from their respective channels.
After seeing it, everyone was shocked.
This group of people includes bureaucrats, wealthy businessmen, and large landowners. They are basically senior intellectuals from the Southern Song Dynasty. They are familiar with ancient and modern history, understand international relations, and have a relatively broad vision.
It is precisely because of this that they were extremely shocked when they saw the chapters of "Hongwu Political Treatise".
The first person to bear the brunt was naturally Su Yonglin who reported his family background, saying that he was originally from the Song Dynasty, and his grandfather was an official of the Song State. Because he was extremely dissatisfied with the current situation of the Song State, he left the Song State and went to the Jin State to rebel, preparing to overthrow the Jin State before returning. Annexed the Song Dynasty.
These people were extremely shocked by this straightforward statement that made their purpose known to the world.
Because according to China's practice since ancient times, even if it is a war to unify the world, some more convincing reasons must be chosen to conceal the true purpose of the war.
It was obviously for unification and power, but it was said that it was in compliance with God's will. God made him the emperor, God made him unify, what stars appeared in the sky, symbolizing my desire to unify, etc.
This is more in line with the traditional Confucian ideological concept, blaming everything to God, showing that he is a saint without desires.
But Su Yonglin didn't. Su Yonglin said bluntly that I am not the emperor, I am the human emperor. I just felt unhappy with the Southern Song Dynasty, so I defeated the Jin Kingdom with all the hard work. Now I have established the Ming Kingdom, with strong soldiers and horses, and I will soon destroy the Southern Song Dynasty. .
It’s not for any other reason, but because [I feel sympathy for the miserable life of the people of the Southern Song Dynasty, so I overthrew the Jin Kingdom and established the Ming Kingdom for them. Now that the Ming Kingdom is established, of course I have to go south to prepare for the liberation of the Southern Song Dynasty. Let the people live a good life].
This reason is really refreshing and refined.
When the ancients were on conquest, they would also say some nonsense about how they couldn't bear to see the people suffer, but no one believed it anyway.
But Su Yonglin said it as if that was really the case.
He talked about his childhood experience in the southeastern capital, the psychological impact he suffered when he saw with his own eyes the tragic situation of people dying of hunger in the fields, and how he didn't understand why he was well-clothed and well-fed while others couldn't even afford salt.
He was greatly shocked, and he began to think about why this happened. Finally, he finally understood why, and he came up with the idea of overthrowing the Song Dynasty and establishing a new world...
What is this all about?
Senior intellectuals feel that they know every word in it, but when the words are connected together, they don't quite understand what it means.
Isn’t it natural for those mud-legged people to eat bran-throated vegetables to make them hungry and full?
Why does he feel strange?
This is where many senior intellectuals fail to understand Su Yonglin.
They think it's natural that mud-legged people don't have enough to eat and often starve to death, because they are born this way.
It is said that everything is of inferior quality, but reading is the only thing that is high. Isn’t it natural that scholars have a noble status?
But Su Yonglin actually felt that this was abnormal. He wanted to think about the reason, and then he really found out the reason.
Not to mention, putting aside his position and butt, these reasons given by Su Yonglin are very reasonable, and they all think so.
But the more this happened, the more panicked these senior intellectuals became.
There was no other reason. They were clearly seen by Su Yonglin. They were poked holes inside and out. There was no secret at all, but they had no idea who Su Yonglin was.
Su Yonglin criticized their greed and cruelty, and criticized their cruel exploitation of farmers.
Not only that, but the alienated Confucianism has been stripped down to its underwear, and the essence of what they say and do is clearly explained. Countless cases have been cited to show that the misery of the peasants is precisely because of their oppression. caused by.
Therefore, if we want to ensure that everyone has a full stomach, that there is no starvation in the world, and that true world unity is achieved, we must kill those people who talk about world unity every day.
Su Yonglin had eliminated the landlords and gentry in batches in the Ming Dynasty, and eliminated them as a class. There may be some scum left, but there is no possibility of stopping these scum.
A new era is coming, and the past emperors will eventually turn into ashes.
Su Yonglin's statement and description of the political situation in the Ming Dynasty in the book shocked and panicked the senior intellectuals of the Southern Song Dynasty. They never thought that Su Yonglin treated them with an attitude of killing them all.
Su Yonglin actually wanted to support Mud Legs and eliminate them all. He had even achieved this goal in Jiangbei Ming Kingdom.
When Beikong fell, the upper class society in the Southern Song Dynasty had basically judged the Ming regime to be "cruel", "barbaric", "unscrupulous" and "will eventually fall". As a result, they found that it was not Su Yonglin who was crazy, nor Su Yonglin. Anti-corruption is an addiction, but Su Yonglin did it deliberately.
He has long wanted to subvert the world, change the world, and realize what he calls a complete "revolution". Land, culture, politics, and military must all complete the "revolution".
Is this okay?
Doesn't this cost their lives?
And it is very obvious that Su Yonglin is a person who can do what he says.
His 500,000 Ming troops were invincible in the world, and he had proven his ability to destroy the Southern Song Dynasty long ago. However, he was busy repairing the Yellow River and doing internal affairs, repairing the crippling start left by the Jin Kingdom, and did not have time to go south to destroy it. Just the Song Dynasty.
He can do it anytime he wants.
Strong panic and uneasiness pervaded the hearts of every "gentleman" who read this book.
They were already sure that Su Yonglin wrote this kind of words in a book and sold it widely, regardless of whether it would spread to the Southern Song Dynasty. The meaning was already clear.
He doesn't care.
Whether you know it or not, hate him or love him, you can't stop him or change him.
The general trend of the world has been formed, and the demise of the Southern Song Dynasty is inevitable.
Unstoppable.
What else could they do?
