The atmosphere was awkward, and the soldiers and Cao Tan, the head of Honglu Temple, were confused in the wind.
Chu Qing kicked the soldier on the butt: "What are you doing standing there in a daze? Just laugh."
Soldier: "Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha."
Fu San looked proud.
He didn't do it on purpose;
This is what people who have been in the military know the difference between right and wrong.
The Ying people burned, killed and plundered in the East China Sea, and even Fu San, who was still at the border back then, had heard of it.
As for those who are not envoys, in the eyes of Fu San, there are only two kinds of people, Chang people and non-Chang people. As long as they are not Chang people, it is best to kill them all and leave no one alive.
Cao Tan had also heard of Chu Qing's name. This guy was "talked about" by people in the capital for destroying one minister every month on average after four months of debut.
According to everyone, Chu Qing seems to be "addicted" to grooming the assistant minister, and it seems that he has a plan.
In the first month, the Ministry of Works, which had no real power, the right minister Hiroshi Shang was killed.
At the end of the second month, he began to attack the powerful Ministry of Rites, and Zhou Youwei, the left minister of the Ministry of Rites, collapsed.
At the beginning of the third month, this guy had already begun to challenge the officials, and brought down Li Wenli, the left minister of the officials.
In the fourth month, this boy obviously felt that the left minister was not a challenge, so he did a big job. Zhang Songling, the right minister of the Ministry of Rites, failed.
Now the boss of the Ministry of Rites is Shangshu Cao Wu, and there are no ministers below him. What a big deal.
Looking at Chu Qing who was laughing loudly, Cao Tan started to feel cramps in his calves.
Could it be that this boy is no longer satisfied with running the Six Ministries and is ready to change his taste and toss the Nine Temples?
Fortunately, Chu Qing was in a very good mood today, so he didn't embarrass him and left with Fu San.
Originally, Chu Qing just couldn't stand it, so he rode into the city and was whipped a few times.
But after all, they were foreign guests, and the face of the country was involved. Chu Qing was unwilling to cause trouble, and since no people were hurt, it was all right.
But before leaving, Chu Qing took a deep look at the bullfrog on the horse and remembered the Ying man's face in his mind, thinking that he would take care of these bastards if he had the chance in the future.
"Didn't you say that the Ying thieves are always burning, killing and plundering in the East China Sea?" Chu Qing asked Fu San as he walked: "Why are you still licking your face and running to Changjing to be an envoy?"
Fu San was considered a know-it-all in the capital. After a little explanation, Chu Qing understood.
It is true that the Japanese thieves always crossed the sea to burn, kill and plunder the coastal towns on the three roads of the East China Sea. It is also true that the envoys sent by the Japanese island became foreign guests.
Because Yingdao officials did not admit it at all, saying that those Yingdao thieves had nothing to do with them. They even licked their faces and said that if Chang Chao had the ability to catch those Yingdao thieves, they would just kill them. It had nothing to do with their officialdom anyway.
But in fact, everyone feels like a mirror.
Those Japanese thieves who burned, killed and looted were indeed dressed like rogue bandits. They were in tatters and did not look like regular troops.
The problem is that there is a sea between the Japanese Islands and the East China Sea. If they are really rogue pirates, where will they get the ships, and they are all large ships?
Another reason is that the Donghai Navy of Chang Dynasty was not strong enough. It was not that they had no combat effectiveness, but that the three coastlines of the East China Sea were too long. This group of bastards took advantage of the night to land ashore and then broke into pieces. They did not pick important towns and went specifically to the county town and The villages and towns started to attack, and many of the garrison guards were auxiliary soldiers and militiamen who had never been on the battlefield, so there was almost no resistance.
The Donghai Navy was also helpless. Let's go to sea. The Japanese pirates' ship was sunk. The Japanese pirates who had landed on the beach completely became rogues. If they went deep into the mountains and old forests, there would be no place to catch them. Let's go on land. It's too late. , the ice cream was melted when we went there.
While sending people to burn, kill, and plunder, they also sent envoys to praise the Chang Dynasty. The court was clearly disgusted, but it could only endure it.
After Chu Qing heard this, he couldn't say he was angry or angry. He just felt that this matter must be resolved, and Chang Chao had only one result if he wanted to resolve this matter, which was to destroy the Ying people in the East China Sea. He would not accept surrender or accept surrender. Promise me, don't let a single chicken go, kill them all to avoid future troubles.
Of course, Chu Qing just thought so in his heart, and he couldn't say this nonsense. You must know that the whole dynasty was full of Confucian experts, and what they believed in was benevolence and moderation.
As for this group of people who are full of benevolence, justice and morality, if they encounter foreign enemies who kill their own compatriots, even if they slaughter tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands, as long as they say I'm sorry, I was wrong, they will immediately smile and admit their mistakes, which will greatly improve the situation. .
But if their compatriots slaughter tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of foreign thieves in revenge, they will immediately turn red with excitement and curse three times as beasts, wishing they could chop off the heads of their compatriots to make amends to the foreign enemy.
"How can you repay kindness with kindness?" Chu Qing said angrily: "Why is it that the only sentence left in the mouths of the courtiers is "repay kindness with kindness," and let them eat the last four words?"
Fu San didn't know why Chu Qing suddenly mentioned this matter, and scratched his head: "I don't know what you mean."
"Didn't you learn the language from Bao Guanjia before? Confucianism only pays attention to the word benevolence?"
"Of course not." Fu San was happy: "If you want to ask about the language, I understand it very well, but I have forgotten the original words. It was Zigong who asked Confucius, what should I do if I kill my mother, and what is the hatred of my parents? What about sleeping in a thatch and having a dry pillow, not being an official, etc., I can’t remember clearly.”
Chu Qing became interested: "You don't need to recite the exact words, just say how you understand them."
"The boy Zigong asked Confucius what he should do if someone was killed by his mother. Confucius said, don't think about being an official and enjoying the blessings. When you sleep, you put your shield on your head and think about it. How to kill your enemy? If you meet your enemy in the market, you don’t even need to go back to get the weapon, just go up and fight for your life with your shield."
Chu Qing was dubious: "Is that what you mean?"
"Yes, it's true. I also asked the housekeeper, and he said the same thing."
Chu Qing felt that he should study Confucianism carefully, just like he studied Changlu before, and he would definitely be able to use it.
In fact, Chu Qing has always wondered about Confucian classics.
Confucius was the first to talk about Confucianism, and it is true that the word "benevolence" was at the core. However, Confucius was particularly strong. He also said that the hatred of a father cannot be shared, the hatred of brothers cannot be fought against, and the hatred of friendship is not the same as between countries. talk.
The general meaning is that the enemy who killed his father will never live together. If you mess with my father, I will chase you to the end of the world and kill you. If you mess with my brother, I will carry weapons every day to prepare for revenge. If my brother is punished by you, either I will. I'll kill you, or I'll leave this country and stop living in the same country as you.
Including Mencius, he also said that no matter how many thousands of people go there, he will go there. He is so bloody and so fearless.
As a result, in the later stage, the more it was changed, the more nonsense it became. Many of the words were taken out of context. In order to make the people obedient, not fight privately, be bloodless, and facilitate management, it was just one word: benevolence, benevolence, be tolerant, and not be disrespectful.
In the later stages, the word "benevolence" becomes larger and more exaggerated. The common people are benevolent, and the court is also benevolent to other countries. It's okay for you to massacre my people, but you have to apologize. When will you retaliate? What kind of "benevolence" is this when you repay evil with kindness and gain some influence?
"Bah." Chu Qing spat: "If I take over the military power in the future, Master, I will be the first to destroy Yingdao."
Fu San scratched his head again.
He felt that with his young master's promotion speed and hard work, he might one day be able to take charge of the military.
