Section V
The more than 80,000 head of livestock captured by the Han army in the Battle of Tianjin played a key role in this life-saving campaign, and a large part of these tens of thousands of cattle were to be returned to the people of Tianjin, according to Li Guangdi. In view of the fact that the Han army would return part of the spoils in an orderly manner to maintain production, the Han army would return part of the spoils in an orderly manner to maintain production, but this time the relief work for the displaced people made this plan could not be carried out.
The military of the Han Dynasty played a very dishonorable role in the use of these mules and horses. Originally, these mules and horses were to serve the displaced people in Li Guangdi's arrangement - that is, most of them formed convoys to transport life-sustaining food and building materials from all directions, and the remaining small number of sick and weak female animals would provide fresh milk or be slaughtered for the refugees, but the implementation of this policy was privately obstructed by the military, and many strong livestock were selected to directly supplement the Han army's artillery units and baggage troops, and what was even more unbearable was that General Zhou Peigong, the general of the Han army, even had a whimsical plan to organize a "rapid reaction musket unit" - that is, let the elite musketeers ride mules and horses and carry small artillery, and then dismount and fight on foot after arriving at the battlefield.
Although Lee Kwang-di had already seen the sinister back of Lin Dashuai behind this plan, Lee Kwang-di, who was deeply educated in Confucian benevolence and righteousness, still flatly rejected this unreasonable demand, and the military had to temporarily compromise when the number one government chief threatened to resign.
In this extreme justice movement, Lin Feng committed another heinous crime against history - in Tang Bin's plan, if these more than 1.7 million displaced people want to survive in the winter of minus 20 degrees Celsius for a few months, they must build a large number of thatched huts and semi-bunker shacks - you can imagine what a great infrastructure project the resettlement plan of 1.7 million people is, how much wood, masonry, and tiles are needed? However, on top of that, after the total destruction of wild plants to serve as food, the land of Gyeonggi must be thousands of miles away, which means that this 1.7 million people are desperately short of fuel for heating for the entire winter. It is well known that the freezing cold of minus twenty degrees Celsius is enough to wipe out any healthy human being, except for hunger.
In the autumn of 1684, His Excellency Marshal Lin Feng, the number one governor of the Han government, issued an order, towering on the land of China for hundreds of years, the sacred totem of the Chinese nation, the eternal pride of the descendants of China, standing in the center of Beijing City, the Forbidden City broke ground in an all-round way, and hundreds of thousands of Beijing citizens who were requisitioned, regardless of men, women, old and young, all participated in this historic destruction work, except for the sake of national feelings and beliefs, except for the Temple of Heaven and Tiananmen Square were partially retained, the other palaces were demolished within a few days. Countless bricks and stone tiles were continuously transported out and handed over to the homeless construction team outside the city, who would set up outpost settlements along the Luanhe River under the organization of Li Guangdi, Wang Dahai's army carried more than 60 large and small artillery pieces to the camp, and Sun Sike's Chinese cavalry troops were ordered to drive hundreds of kilometers forward to closely monitor the Manchu Shanhaiguan garrison - they received a very strict military order: if any hostile behavior was detected by the Shanhaiguan defenders, they would immediately destroy "any creature with braids".
Expected but unexpected, it is expected that the work of demolishing the Forbidden City was immediately strongly opposed by the vast number of scholars, and unexpectedly, the main force of this group of opponents was not the ultra-conservative old Confucian scholars, but the provincial scholars who came to resist the Qing Dynasty and save the country at the call of the Han army - this is a very difficult event, originally Lin Feng thought that this initiative should be warmly responded to by these young scholars, because in any case, these people can be regarded as the most radical class of this era, Any revolutionary initiative should be acceptable to it. Under the influence of this psychological suggestion, Lin Feng initially ignored the opposition of these young people, but later he found that this trend had a tendency to spread, and more and more scholars participated in the discussion and petitioned on the streets, and now there are actually citizens of Beijing involved, so that there is a small crisis of confidence in the current Han military government.
After careful consideration, Lin Feng decided to meet with these scholars, since seven days ago, these people have been kneeling outside the Temple of Heaven for a few days with the tablet of Confucius and Mencius in their hands, and the crowd of onlookers has grown from thousands of people at the beginning to tens of thousands now, and they look very sacred and sympathetic.
When Lin Feng led a large group of personal soldiers to the Temple of Heaven, there was a small commotion in the crowd of onlookers, who had lived at the feet of the Son of Heaven for so long, and was deeply impressed by the cruel people of the Yamen.
Of course, in the end, it was naturally a false alarm, when Lin Feng's personal guard general, General Li Ergou, loudly announced that the commander of the Han army would meet the representatives of the scholars on the spot, tens of thousands of people in the audience actually cheered like thunder, as if a decisive victory had been achieved.
According to Chen Menglei's informant, almost all of the scholars who have gathered at the Temple of Heaven to petition are young Confucian scholars from other provinces who have entered Beijing, and there are more than 800 people, including people from all provinces in the north and south of the Yangtze River, accounting for almost eighty percent of the scholars who have entered Beijing. Because of the relationship of establishing a political image, these people were warmly welcomed by the Li Guangdi government as soon as they entered Beijing, and all of them were arranged to live in a very quiet post house, and enjoyed the treatment of low-level officers of the Han military government. Therefore, when they suddenly felt such an appropriate warmth, almost all of them immediately developed a kind of homecoming, which opened up the psychological distance from the other surrendering officials, because they had a sense of belonging to the Han military government from the beginning.
According to the tradition of Confucianism, when a group of scholars have a sense of belonging to a certain regime, it will bring a lot of benefits and add a lot of troubles - so after Lin Feng defended the world to dismantle the Forbidden City, these people immediately developed a keen political sense, believing that this kind of reactionary behavior must be pointed out by thousands of people, so according to the theorem of "military death and war and death in Cambodia", they must risk killing their heads and make corrections.
"Oh, you're the representative of the scholars?!" Lin Feng ordered his soldiers to set up a chair on the Temple of Heaven, and he sat down first, pointing to a row of young Confucian students in front of him, "Sit down, sit down!" Let's talk slowly! β
A scholar at the beginning of the "Student Gao Shiqi ......" had a handsome face and elegant manners, which made people very impressed, and he knelt down and saluted, "See the big handsome!" Several young people behind him looked nervous, and hurriedly knelt down, and each of them reported their names and places of origin.
"Hey! No need to be polite, no need to be polite! Lin Feng stepped forward with a smile and helped him up, pressing Gao Shiqi on the chair, "My generation is a young man, just singing and drinking, and fencing on horses-if they are all such mothers-in-law, wouldn't it be very boring?!" β
"The handsome ......" Gao Shiqi immediately said after being nervous, "The saint has clouds, the outline of etiquette is common, the respect and humility are shared, the so-called etiquette cannot be abolished, we are all saints, the so-called ......"
"I understand, I understand," to be honest, Lin Feng is really scared when he hears this thing now, these guys are all masters of endorsement, and they can just pull out a lesson to ensure that they can talk for an endless time, and there is no repetition, more powerful than a shrew scolding the street, he smiled bitterly and arched his hand towards the scholars below, "Gentlemen have come thousands of miles to vote for me, Ben Shuai is grateful, thank you here first!" β
A group of scholars hurriedly got up and saluted, Lin Feng said with a smile, "This time it was also the negligence of Ben Shuai, and he didn't go to the post house to visit everyone, but he was really offended!" He looked at Gao Shiqi and asked knowingly, "Mr. Gao, what is the purpose of all the big guys coming to the Temple of Heaven to petition this time?!" β
"Don't dare, don't dare," Gao Shiqi arched his hand and said with a straight face, "It's for the demolition of the Forbidden City!" β
"Oh, I see, then I don't know what Ben Shuai did wrong?!" Lin Feng spread his hands and said helplessly, "Everyone has also seen that Ben Shuai demolished the palace for the livelihood of millions of Qiantou outside the city, and there is no meaning of extreme luxury." β
"Dashuai is benevolent and righteous, we already know!" Gao Shiqi hurriedly said, "But the marshal knows that this demolition of the palace is extraordinary-the Jingshi Hall has been hundreds of years since Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty, and the world knows that this is the pivotal point of my China, and it is the place where Kyushu is determined, so we will ...... I thought that this matter might not be much lighter than the millions of creatures outside the city! β
"Oh?!" Even from the perspective of today's politician Lin Feng, he may not think that these bricks and timber will be worth more than human life, it seems that the conflict between the values of later generations and the present is indeed not small, he pinched his nose and patiently explained, "I said Xiao Gao, you are really too young - who built these palace compounds and garden rockeries?!" β
"Don't despise us, don't look down on us, this way of the people and the gentlemen, the students still pay attention to it!" Gao Shiqi said solemnly, "It's just that this palace and the like are not others, and it has been respected by the world for hundreds of years. β
I'm afraid of him! Lin Feng said in his heart, but there was a kind smile on his face, "The eldest husband is in the world, he is a little bit of a false name outside his body, and he doesn't care very much!" β
"The handsome man is almost ......" Gao Shiqi shook his head with a wry smile, he suddenly had a bold intuition, although the person in front of him was full of etiquette, but he didn't seem to care about the sage's teachings at all, if he used the righteousness of the Spring and Autumn Period to influence him at this moment, I am afraid that it would be half the work, he thought about it carefully, and decided to start from the realistic side, "Have you ever thought about it, if we destroy the center of gravity of the world, I am afraid that in the future, it will be no different from Geng Jingzhong, Shang Zixin and others, and become a local prince, The prestige of destroying the Tartar Hub before is gone......"
"Oh, that's okay, in fact, Ben Shuai's will is to drive out the Tartars and return my rivers and mountains, there is absolutely no selfishness, and this prestige doesn't have to be taken too seriously!" Lin Feng was righteous and awe-inspiring, and said angrily, "Gentlemen, to be honest, Ben Shuai thinks that you are really a little indifferent now," he turned back and pointed to the Temple of Heaven behind him, "Do you know what this is?!" β
The scholars looked at each other and looked at Lin Feng suspiciously.
"Originally, according to my meaning, this Temple of Heaven is also going to be demolished, tsk, everyone calculates, if such a big guy is demolished, at least hundreds of people will survive the winter, what a pity! ......" he smiled and looked at the ugly faces of the people below, "but Mr. Li Guangdi insisted on not letting it be demolished, so I had no choice but to keep it for seeding!" β
ββ¦β¦β
"What kind of righteousness is this, I am confident that I can understand it better than you!" Lin Feng smiled and said solemnly, "These palaces and other messy things, aren't they all people's fat and people's cream?" - Ben Shuai dismantled these things today precisely to return them to the people......"
"But the handsome ......," Gao Shiqi's face was as pale as earth, "these hundreds of years of humanities are gathered...... These thousands of Chinese treasures ......"
"Alas...... If we don't even have people in Huaxia Shenzhou, what's the use of this 'treasure'?! Lin Feng said earnestly, "You are all future officials of my Han Dynasty, go out and see your people, now they are eating people-what kind of egg do you say the Temple of Heaven Forbidden City originally existed?" Isn't it right here?! β
ββ¦β¦β
"Yes, so this truth is like the relationship between hens and eggs, our task now is to let the hens live, as long as we have thousands of people, then these things are afraid that they can't be built? ββIt's a pity that these antique calligraphy and paintings are destroyed, but as long as our people live, are we afraid that we won't be able to make better treasures, and we can't draw better calligraphy and paintings?! β
"Dashuai...... Wise and wise...... Gao Shiqi's face turned red at the moment, as if something was stuck in his throat, and he couldn't say anything about the righteousness of the monarch and the minister, in fact, he and his scholar friends didn't mean not to help the homeless, but to ask Lin Feng not to demolish or demolish these "things of the Son of Heaven" less, and replace them with other people's houses in Beijing. But at this moment, the people of Beijing are surrounded by a sea of people outside, and this suggestion is not daring to say it anyway.
"Forget it, in fact, I may not be right in this matter," Lin Feng looked at the hundreds of Confucian students with ugly faces below, and threw out the hydrangea, "Gentlemen, your knowledge must be good, we just have different views on this matter, there have been many differences between saints and famous ministers throughout the ages, let alone us?!" He patted Gao Shiqi on the shoulder and said with a smile, "So please wait and see, whether we are right or wrong today or not, we have to wait for future generations to judge, maybe Ben Shuai is wrong, maybe you are right, and it is not yet known, right-Xiao Gao?!" β
Seeing that Lin Feng calmly admitted his mistake in front of the public, the loyalty of the Confucian scholars immediately overwhelmed everything, and everyone was heartbroken, Gao Shiqi immediately took the lead in kneeling down, and said in fear, "The student is guilty...... folded the handsome name...... Students are guilty ......"
"Not guilty, not guilty." Lin Feng interrupted him and said solemnly, "What are your crimes?" Today's matter is very simple, I dismantle the Chinese treasures in order to relieve the people, and the gentlemen risk death for the Chinese treasures, today's incident will be recorded in the history books one by one - I am the commander of the Han army, I am responsible for the lives of the people, you are Confucian disciples, you are responsible for the Chinese treasures, no one is wrong! He smiled, "That's why I said, no matter who is right or wrong in this matter today, we people will laugh at it, and it will be a good talk!" β
"Dashuai Mingjian!" Gao Shiqi returned to normal, his face was ashamed, and he said, "The students are not good enough, and they have the hope of being handsome, please forgive me!" β
"It's okay, it's okay! - The imperial examination is coming up this month, have you done your homework?! Lin Feng pointed to his nose and said with a smile, "Don't hide it, this time your chief examiner is just a little below, this handsome will never let you pass the test easily, if you have any tricks, hurry up, if you don't have two brushes, I will definitely make you look good at that time!" β
The Confucian scholars were stunned for a while, and they couldn't help laughing in unison. Since ancient times, the imperial examination has been a grand ceremony of the imperial court, and 100% of the people who presided over it were old-fashioned and serious Mr. Dong Yan, and the examiner who likes to gag and tell jokes like this is the first time I have seen it.
However, this matter is also reasonable, the Han army has all kinds of hasty creations, this is the first time to collect the matter of the official of the lineage, naturally let the first chief do it, and other ministers may not have the courage to do it, just imagine that so many protΓ©gΓ©s and disciples occupy official positions, just a suspicion is enough to make people unable to sleep.
A snowflake fell on Lin Feng's shoulder, Lin Feng sighed, flicked away the snowflake with a gloomy expression, and waved his hand to Gao Shiqi, "Xiao Gao, what do you lack in the school house Just look for Master Li Guangdi, it will be cold, let's disperse early, don't suffer from the wind cold!" β
After the Confucian students dispersed, Lin Feng did not return home, and sat alone in the snowflakes in a daze. The heavy snow has arrived ahead of schedule, and the relief has just begun, how should these millions of living beings be?!
