If the Ming Dynasty had Xia Wanchun in the face of the Manchu and Qing Dynasty sweeping the world, North Korea had Cui Xiaoyi.
This man's loyalty and perseverance are truly admirable.
In the two wars in which the Manchus invaded Korea, he fought bravely and made considerable military exploits.
Later, Huang Zhihao, the governor of Yizhou, took him under his command and spoke to him.
"In the past, King Xuan suffered a rebellion from the Dao barbarians and lost his country and moved westward. Emperor Shenzong mobilized all the troops to rescue him, and our country was rebuilt, which will never be forgotten. Now that the captives have invaded China, our country has been the first to suffer. I want to repay the world. , the plan will be laid out? "
Cui Xiaoyikang replied: "This is the meaning of filial piety!"
He still stated his strategy and said: "Xuanchuan Che is Zhongliang and Liliang. He is a hero in the world, and he will die for China and the DPRK. An Kechu, Che Yuanzhe, and Zhang Houjian are also heroes, and they can discuss important matters with them. Lili. Liang was good at managing nobles and nobles, and Shen Shikui was also a partial general. When Shikui died, nobles captured him and went to Shen. He saw that he was used as a prisoner, but he always had the intention of avenging shame, so he could be used as an internal response. Xiaoyi entered the Ming Dynasty, which means that the commander attacked Shenyang, and Shenyang If there is a danger, we must call our soldiers. When the soldiers are out, they should be polite and join the army, and the nobles will attack from the center. Xiaoyi will attack from the outside together with the wise master, and the captives can be defeated."
Huang Yihao agreed to his plan.
Later, Cui Xiaoyi went to Anzhou to find Lin Qingye, informed him of his plan, and asked Lin Qingye to cooperate in the torture plan, creating the illusion that he was forced to leave by Lin Qingye.
Lin Qingye agreed, beat Cui Xiaoyi severely, and demoted him to a pawn to guard the beacon fire.
Cui Xiaoyi declared loudly: "General Lin has humiliated me so much, how can I see my father again? I'd rather take a boat to the sea and visit the fields from the fields!"
In the autumn and August of 1639, Cui Xiaoyi came to the Ming Dynasty from the sea. Before leaving, he entrusted his wife and children in the carriage.
Che Liliang "beats the ox and buys wine. Everyone in his family knows what happened. He strokes the sword and sings a sad song, and everyone sheds tears."
When Cui Xiaoyi sneaked to the Ming Dynasty, he was discovered by General Mi Chuan and reported to the Joseon court. However, Huang Yihao had already reported that Cui Xiaoyi had offended Lin Qingye and escaped, so the Joseon court ignored him.
Soon, Che Liliang got Guan Gui's secret letter and went to Shenyang to lurk.
Cui Xiaoyi first went to Dengzhou to lobby Chen Hongfan, the navy commander, but Chen Hongfan did not use him. He went to Ningyuan again to lobby Wu Sangui. Wu Sangui retained Cui Xiaoyi and appointed him as General Manager Qian to participate in the Songjin War.
In 1641, Cui Xiaoyi wanted to attack Liaoshen. His strategy was to claim that he would lead a fleet to attack the Qing Dynasty. The Qing Dynasty would definitely be on guard against Haikou, leaving Liaoshen and Shenzhou empty.
After the Qing Dynasty learned that Cui Xiaoyi was going to lead the navy to attack, they did not fall into the trap. Instead, they asked a Han man to act as a spy and go to Yiju to find Cui Xiaoyi's relatives and friends. He was named Xing Ji and pretended to be a grandson of Xing Jie, the governor of the Ming Dynasty during the Imjin Japanese Rebellion. He claimed that he worshiped Cui Xiaoyi as his adoptive father in Wu Sangui's army. Cui Xiaoyi asked him to come and serve as a master. He was captured by Qing soldiers on the way, but managed to escape and came to Yiju, bringing with him a forged letter from Cui Xiaoyi.
Cui Xiaoyi's cousin Zhang Houjian was deceived and wrote a proverbial letter to the Qing spies, mentioning the latent plans of Huang Yihao, Che Liliang, Guan Gui and others.
After the Qing Dynasty got this letter, they asked people who knew proverbs to translate it. They imprisoned Guan Gui first, and then went to North Korea to arrest him.
In the end, Huang Yihao, Che Liliang, Che Zhongliang, Zhang Houjian, An Kexi and others were all killed, and Cui Xiaoyi's descendants were also killed.
After Cui Xiaoyi heard about it, he cried bitterly and wanted to commit suicide.
Wu Sangui dissuaded him and said: "Little faith is not enough to accomplish great things. If things are accomplished, it is not too late to return and repay a dead friend."
Cui Xiaoyi was persuaded and survived.
When the Qing army entered the pass, Cui Xiaoyi tried hard to persuade Wu Sangui not to ask for help from the Qing army, but Wu Sangui refused to listen. Later, the Qing Dynasty defeated Li Zicheng and took advantage of the victory to occupy Beijing. He was congratulated by the court in Wuying Hall and ordered the world to shave his head.
Cui Xiaoyi did not pay tribute or shave his head. Instead, he went to the Siling Mausoleum of Emperor Chongzhen. He cried day and night and went on a hunger strike for ten days before dying.
It was May 19th in the 17th year of Chongzhen.
Zuo Menggeng admires such a loyal and brave man very much. Now that his destiny has been changed, perhaps he can shine even brighter.
Cui Xiaoyi had no idea that the aloof King Xia would actually know about him.
This made him so honored that he couldn't say no.
"It is an honor for a general to gain the trust of His Highness."
Seeing Zuo Menggeng trying to win over civil servants and generals as soon as he arrived, Jin Shangxian, Shen Qiyuan and others were helpless.
They have realized that the current situation is beyond their control.
Fortunately, we can see that Xia State treats North Korean people equally. Especially through Xia State's operation and management, the living standards of Koreans in Busan are improving at a speed visible to the naked eye.
This is something they never did when they were in power.
Feeling ashamed, these Korean scholar-officials lost the confidence to compete.
After all the newcomers on the North Korean side were introduced, it was Zuo Mengeng's turn to take action.
"You are all great masters of Korean Confucianism, and your colleagues in the Central Plains greatly admire your profound knowledge. Today, I, the master of Chinese Confucianism, come here, and it just so happens that you can make friends with each other through literature and strengthen each other."
In order to make an appearance, Liu Zongzhou and others all put on traditional Confucian robes.
You must know that when living in Shandong, they often wore casual clothes for convenience.
"I, Liu Niantai of Zhejiang Province, have always heard that Qingyin Gong is a master of poetry and prose, so I came here to ask for advice."
This registration number shocked everyone in North Korea.
Since we are all disciples of Confucianism, how can we not understand the great master of our time?
In their minds, Liu Zongzhou's status was like that of a saint in the world. Now in person, it is really so brilliant that people dare not look directly at it.
Kim Sang-hyun was already considered an authority in the field of Confucian classics in North Korea, but when facing Liu Zongzhou, he quickly made disciples.
"The students read Mr. Tai's small words and great meanings endlessly and benefited a lot. Today, I can listen to Mr. Tai's teachings face to face, and I will have no regrets in this life."
Shen Qiyuan was like a fanatical fan meeting his idol.
"The remote land of Korea has been transformed into a king for a long time, but there are many shortcomings. Now that Mr. Nian Tai is here to give us guidance as a Korean scholar, from now on, Korea will not worry about not being able to follow the Celestial Dynasty and understand the joy of being a human being. ?”
When they learned the identities of Sun Qifeng, Lu Shanji and others, everyone in North Korea was even more overjoyed.
In the past, visitors from the Central Plains Dynasty were basically official envoys. He is aloof and handles all official matters. This is the first time for such an academic exchange and the visit of such a high-status scholar in North Korea.
Kim Sang-hyun and others all had tears in their eyes and were impatient.
"Come on, spread the word to all the scholars quickly. The arrival of the Great Master is truly a great honor for our country, and the people above and below should celebrate it."
Since the cooperation, in the minds of Jin Sangxian's people, they have always felt that Xia Guo was too overbearing and that many of their actions were in conflict with their values.
But now facing the visit of Liu Zongzhou and others, they completely put aside their dissatisfaction.
Even when the Ming Dynasty was the best toward North Korea, it never sent a scholar of this level to North Korea to propagate and educate.
What does this mean?
This shows that in Xia Guo's mind, North Korea is more valued.
Zuo Mengeng and Wang Yun stood aside, watching Liu Zongzhou and others being crowned by the stars, and couldn't help but marvel.
Who says Baiwuyiyong is a scholar?
These Confucian masters were of great help!
