MTL - Han’s Son is Not a Slave-Chapter 1120 Confucius is not as good as a dog
In the past few days when he returned to Zhenjiang from Suzhou, Zhou Shixiang had been busy. Not only did he have a lot of official documents to deal with, but he also had to constantly summon his generals and give them face-to-face advice. The plan originally scheduled to go north to Liaodong in April had to be temporarily shelved due to the Jiangnan riots, and the current post-riot reconstruction and disaster relief have become the top priorities of the military.
This not only requires the army to stabilize the locality, exterminate the remaining bandits, restore local security, and rebuild local governance, but more importantly, the army needs to face the people as a "savior". A large amount of military rations that were originally mobilized from various places to Songjiang and Chongming had to be pulled out of the warehouse to help people whose homes were destroyed due to the riots.
Preliminary statistics show that as many as 120,000 people were killed or injured in this riot, and nearly 500,000 people were displaced and homeless. If we can combine disaster relief and resettlement with the anti-revolutionary movement, so that the displaced people can return to their hometowns to rebuild their homes as soon as possible, it will undoubtedly greatly change the image of the Taiping Army and shorten the distance between the Taiping Army and the people in the south of the Yangtze River.
Zhou Shi attached great importance to post-disaster reconstruction, and successively invested the strength of four towns for disaster relief. Before the Taiping Army, the Ming army had almost never had the experience of large-scale disaster relief, nor had any experience in this regard. As early as in Guangdong, the Taiping Army had been engaged in typhoon disaster relief and post-disaster reconstruction. To a certain extent, the Taiping Army has already formed the prototype of the people's army of later generations. Of course, it is only the prototype of the army mechanism, not the ideological and human nature. In essence, the Taiping Army is still a feudal army, but because of the commander, it has some functions of the army of later generations.
While busy deploying post-disaster reconstruction and resettlement, Zhou Shixiang took time out to meet Nan Huairen, a missionary from Beijing.
After Nan Huairen went south from Beijing, he first stayed in Yangzhou for half a month, and then was sent to Nandu. Before going to Zhenjiang, Nan Huairen met Zhu Cixuan who was brought into the palace by Emperor Dingwu.
Zhu Cixuan was baptized Catholic when he was born, and his Christian name was "Dangding", that is, "Constantine". The Western priest who baptized Zhu Cixuan at that time hoped that through Zhu Cixuan's baptism and accession, the Ming Dynasty could begin to convert Catholicism to the state religion like the Roman Empire. This strategy was successful because not only was Zhu Cixuan baptized Catholic, but Zhu Youlang, Emperor Yongli himself, became a Catholic.
But unfortunately, Zhu Youlang failed to restore the Ming Dynasty, but died in the mountains and mountains in Sichuan. The current emperor of the Ming Dynasty was not interested in Catholicism, and because of Zhu Youlang, Zhu Cixuan had already lost his status as the heir of the Ming Dynasty. According to sources in the palace, Zhu Cixuan is likely to be canonized as a prince by the emperor and then return to live in Hengzhou, where his grandfather once belonged to the vassal. Nan Huairen can't tell whether this news is true or not. What he can be sure of is that Zhu Cixuan can no longer be a collaborator of Catholicism. The only partner that Catholicism can cooperate with now is the King Qi who is not in the southern capital, which is also known as a "thief scholar" in the Tatar population.
After waiting tediously for more than two months, Nan Huairen was finally informed that he could meet His Royal Highness King Qi. With a little nervousness, Nan Huairen went from Nandu to Zhenjiang, and heard news about a riot in Jiangnan on the way. This news made Nan Huairen very distressed, because he was worried that His Royal Highness King Qi might have to give up meeting him because of this. In fact, just as Nan Huairen thought, when he arrived in Zhenjiang, he did not see His Royal Highness King Qi, but was placed in a temple by local officials.
Half a month later, he just saw His Royal Highness King Qi who came back from another place. What made him happy was that the young King Qi seemed to be no stranger to him, and he was not hostile to Catholicism, which was inconsistent with the information about this King Qi from Macau.
Nan Huairen was a little excited, thinking that he was right to come to the south. It is very possible that the grand cause of Catholicism in the East will be opened in his hands. However, Nan Huairen never thought that although the young King Qi had a good impression of Catholicism and him, he did not want to listen to him to say more about the gospel of God, but told him that Catholic missionaries in the East He must assist his army in the improvement and production of firearms and cannons, and serve in the schools he runs, teaching them arithmetic, astronomy, geography, shipbuilding, etc. Only if the work of the missionaries satisfied him, he might consider giving Catholics the freedom to preach in the East.
Finally, the King Qi told Nan Huairen in an almost threatening tone that if he did not agree, or if the church he belonged to did not agree with his request, then Catholicism would be declared a cult, and they would be banned in the form of laws All activities in China.
Nan Huairen could not make decisions for the church, so he wrote a letter to Tang Ruowang in Beijing. However, he himself agreed to the request of His Royal Highness King Qi, and was willing to assist the Ordnance Department of the Ming Dynasty to develop the flowering cannonball claimed by King Qi.
Zhou Shixiang's attitude toward religion remains the same as before, that is, all religions are cults, and as long as they claim the existence of gods, they are all anti-civilization. It's just that he himself does not believe in gods or religions, but the people of this era are superstitious about the existence of these fictitious things. Even in his previous life, there were many stupid people who believed in so-called gods.
Since there is no way to stop the spread of religion, the only way is to create a religion yourself.
While suppressing Maitreya Sect, Zhou Shixiang secretly ordered the military to increase support for Luo Sect, and began to compile a new doctrine, adding the concepts he recognized, and combining the missionary advantages of Maitreya's monotheistic religion, intending to build Luo Sect into a The only religion or great religion of the Han people.
Among them, aggressiveness and cohesion are what Zhou Shixiang hoped that Luo Jiao could possess. Because he didn't want foreign religions to spread into China after he died, or one day in the future, causing serious religious problems. Then, when the government does not act or is unaware of the religious threat, Luojiao, as a monotheistic religion of the Han people, can fight at the forefront of the anti-aggressive religious battle, and also expand outwards, so as to do it in the same way.
As for Catholicism, all Zhou Shixiang needs now is their assistance. After all, not all Catholic missionaries are gods, but many are excellent scientific talents. Now, what Zhou Shixiang lacked the most was talent. After decades of war, the large-scale and sharp decline of the Han population has also led to the lack of outstanding scientific talents.
Nan Huairen is an excellent artillery-making expert. Zhou Shi believed that with his help and the efforts of Cheng Hanbin and his subordinate Ordnance Bureau, the flowering cannon that he has given a rough plan and idea will soon be available. In that way, it is undoubtedly a weapon for slaughtering the Tartars.
The day after meeting Nan Huairen, another person from the north was brought before Zhou Shixiang.
This person's background is even bigger than that of Nan Huairen, because he is Kong Xingzhen, the younger brother of Kong Xingxie, the current Duke Yansheng.
Kong Xingzhen brought a handwritten letter from his brother Kong Xingxie. In the letter, Kong Xingxie was like a dog wagging its tail and begging for joy, expressing to Zhou Shixiang the support of the Confucius House in Qufu for the Ming Dynasty and His Royal Highness King Qi. In other words, Kong Xingxie once again made a very wise decision on the eve of the Qing Dynasty's demise, that is, to clear it up in advance.
If there is no accident, Zhou Shixiang will be like any dynasty in history, laugh at the surrender of the Confucius family, and then hold them high as a symbol and example of scholars.
However, this time, the Kong family miscalculated, because Zhou Shi hated them deeply. In his opinion, the Confucius Mansion in Qufu is not the successor of the great master at all, nor is it an example of scholars in the world.
"Second Kong's descendants are not as good as one dog."
Zhou Shi said this to Xu Yingyuan, which made Xu Yingyuan very stunned, because no one had ever dared to say that Dacheng's most holy teacher, Confucius, was the second child of Confucius. If this title spreads out, Zhou Shixiang will definitely become the public enemy of scholars all over the world.
Zhou Shixiang ignored Xu Yingyuan's shock at all. He smiled and said, "If you say that the Confucius family is a dog, you still lift them up. A real good dog, when its owner is in trouble, will always bark a few times and even die. If the owner of this dog is in trouble, he will immediately turn to the new owner. Whoever gives him bones to eat, he will recognize who is the owner, so to say that they are dogs is a bit demeaning to dogs.”
"cough cough"
Xu Yingyuan almost choked out, he was too frightened to say a word.
Zhou Shixiang shook his head, while throwing the information from the southern capital that Gu Yanwu's "Leaving the Capital to Discuss the Kingdom" was opposed by the southern capital officials headed by Huang Zongxi, and said: "Why are there always people in this world who think they have left the scholar? Without those gentlemen and gentlemen, the sky will fall? I think, without these gentlemen and gentlemen who are full of poetry and books, the sky in our Ming Dynasty will still be fine. As I said earlier, expelling the Tartars and restoring China will require bloodshed. It is to kill people, not to invite guests to dinner, and whoever comes will recognize whoever comes. Since these officials and gentlemen always think that the world cannot be separated from themselves, and are unwilling to admit their faults and backwardness, then come to a thorough Innovate.
This time, not only the imperial examinations will be reformed, but also the imperial court will be reformed, and even the second Confucius will also be removed! "
"When Confucianism first started, there was a lot of knowledge in the world. Taoism, ink, law, fame, military, yin and yang, vertical and horizontal, miscellaneous, agriculture, etc., everyone was on an equal footing, and a hundred flowers contended. Whoever benefits the country, the monarch listens to whoever , that's good. But why did you end up honoring Confucianism in the end? What's so good about this Confucianism?"
Xu Yingyuan opened his mouth, not knowing how to answer Zhou Shixiang's words. He is also a Confucian scholar, and the handsome is also a Confucian scholar. But listening to the commander's words, he was going to be anti-Confucian, and even uprooted the Confucian House in Qufu and switched to a new school.
"It's not the most obedient Confucian!"
Zhou Shixiang patted the table, "The Confucian family is prosperous, the Confucian family is prosperous, and the Confucian family in Qufu is incredible. Which emperor does not give a three-point thin noodles? The Liu family, the Sima family, the Yang family, and the Li family all received awards, and they sat at the Zhao family in the Song Dynasty. When he was on the throne, he tried to flatter the Confucian family. Not only did he seal the Confucian family as Duke Yansheng, but he also built the Confucius Mansion in Qufu. It is said that this Confucian family belongs to the authentic Chinese sect, and Confucianism is also Chinese. Confucius himself once said it. "The difference between Hua and Yi", besides, this Chinese emperor, officials and people are really good to the Kong family, this Confucius mansion should always be committed to Huaxia, right? But what about the facts?"
Zhou Shixiang smiled coldly: "The descendants of the Kong family are all handsome men who know the current affairs. Zhao Song took heart and lungs to the Confucius House, but the Kong House did not want to hang him on the tree of Zhao Song. Zhao Song was killed by the Wanyan family. After they went to the south, Kong Duancao immediately sent Kong Duancao to the center of the big gold watch, and was conferred the title of Duke Yansheng. Although this Jinyi's milk has a smell of mutton, it is also a mother!"
"Be respectful in your residence, respectful in your deacons, and loyal with people. Even if you live in barbarian countries, you cannot abandon it."
Xu Yingyuan was startled, what the commander said was exactly what Kong Sheng said. But soon Zhou Shixiang said again: "I'm different, there's nothing I can't do. It's ridiculous. Confucius told others to do it, but he didn't do it himself. What do you mean by that? Whoever gives the bone is the master, who cares. Is he a man or a beast."
Xu Yingyuan was a little speechless, but after thinking about it, what the commander said was not without reason. When Mongolia rose and destroyed the Jin Dynasty, the Confucius House in Qufu immediately fell to Kublai Khan under the leadership of the Duke of Yansheng Kong Yuanyong. "Rebel", and "unfortunately" died in the army.
After Kong Yuanyong's death, Kong Yuancuo took the opportunity to seize power, and the Kong family fought for the title of Duke Yansheng for several generations. In the end, Yuan Renzong ruled that Kong Yuancuo's lineage was Zhengsu~www.novelbuddy.com~ Kong Yuanyong's lineage was completely defeated. Alas! Poor Kong Yuanyong shed the last drop of blood for Kublai Khan's great cause of unification, but his descendants were squeezed and suppressed by Meng Yuan, which is really unreasonable.
"I read history back then, but I could see it clearly. In order to please Kublai Khan, the Confucius House also sent great scholars Zhang Dehui and Yuan Haowen to visit Kublai Khan, and asked him to be the "Great Master of Confucianism". To actually invite a chief whose hands are stained with the blood of tens of millions of Han Chinese to be the great master, what is this?"
"When Emperor Taizu restores China, the Confucius mansion will turn back again, but this can be regarded as orthodox. If there is no Kong Yinzhi, I have no intention to say how much he has a Confucian mansion. But this Kong Yinzhi is also shameless. , This duke is not the direct descendant of Confucius, but he was conferred the title of Duke Yansheng, and he was successively added to the Prince Taibao and the Prince Taifu. Daming treats him with such kindness as a mountain. But once Li Zicheng entered Shandong, he was still far away from Qufu. Zhu Shi came out and asked people to enshrine the dragon throne of the Yongchang Emperor of Dashun, and offered horses and silver, and knelt down to accept the seal. I didn't know that this time the change of owner was a little more urgent. In a few days, the Dashun army ran away, and a large army of Tartars came. , The Duke of Yansheng corrected his mistakes when he knew his mistakes, that is, he wrote the "Preliminary Introduction" to show his loyalty to the Qing court. Then, in response to the hair-shaving order issued by Manta, Kong Yinzhi held a grand hair-shaving ceremony and set up an incense case. Read the decree and order the people to shave their hair. But at the same time, the soldiers of the Manchu Qing Dynasty are slaughtering people in Jiangyin, Jiading and other places who do not want to shave their hair!"
