Section XXXV

The constant changes in the military and political environment had a considerable counter-effect on the cultural and ideological 'currents' in China, and as the heavy military groups of the Han Empire moved southward one after another, the puppet Qing colonial regimes and local warlord regimes in various parts of southern China collapsed in an instant.

Among these many strange ideological 'tides', the most influential, the most popular, and the most 'radical' is the great criticism of the Eight Banners invasion a few decades ago, in which the direction of criticism can be roughly divided into two aspects, one is for the governance measures of the former Ming Empire, which is very sharply pointed out: "Si Zongshe Xiaoren forgets the great righteousness and acts far away", which leads to "the burning of the sea, the internal and external 'communication' of the border, the opening of the nine sides, and the great disaster of the family and the country". In short, the general meaning is to show that the empire is primarily responsible for this great catastrophe, and in particular that the malfeasance and mistakes of the leadership are inexcusable.

In fact, when this ideological 'trend' just began to burst out in the south of the Yangtze River, the whole of China, including the south, was taken aback, you must know that although the Donglin Party in the Ming Dynasty after the political power declined to the extreme, but its influence in the south is still huge, and many of the old and young of the Ming Empire opened their mouths and closed their mouths is how I Donglin, a pair: the reader is the Donglin Party, the Donglin Party represents the face of the reader. In fact, this view has been widely accepted in the past few decades.

It can be said that in the decades before the fall of the Ming Empire, the reputation of the Donglin Party in the country is indeed quite good, at least most of the people think so, of course, this prestige looks a little ridiculous after a few decades, but among the two factions of the domestic political struggle at that time, the Donglin Party with the bureaucracy as the background does occupy an absolute advantage in public opinion, and relatively speaking, the eunuch group with the emperor as the background is much worse, and it can be said that the two sides are not a grade of opponents in this regard.

I believe that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty should be very depressed, pushing some eunuchs to the front of the stage as political representatives, and there is really no way to make up for the image defect of congenital 'sex'.

However, when the Ming Dynasty died, the reputation of the Donglin Party immediately stinked, when the Eight Banners Colonial Army and the Han 'traitor' puppet army invaded China on a large scale, the peasant army that was criticized for its bloody resolute resistance, and has always been "loyalty, righteousness, clear stream" and other big hats to flaunt the Donglin Party but immediately lay down, the land and the people to the invaders with both hands, this astonishing change can be said to have shocked a whole generation, if before the Ming Dynasty scholars still believe in "wind bones" and the like, then after the death of the Ming Dynasty, these words have completely become a slogan, and I am afraid that no one will believe it anymore.

The so-called Donglin Party immediately became stinky, except for some foolish scholars who were still hypnotizing themselves, everyone saw through the true face of this apparently academic group, but in fact the spokesperson of the political group, but what is helpless is that those former Ming Empire Donglin Party has been transformed into indigenous officials of the colonial army, and this group of people has taken advantage of the brutal cultural policies of the Manchu government to forcibly suppress all the criticism and reflection that has occurred or may occur.

But with the southward movement of the Lin Han regime, this pressure no longer exists, and the southern Shilin, who has long been dissatisfied with this, immediately attacked in groups, and the momentum and intensity of this criticism were unusually large, and later, it almost seemed to 'make' into a cultural brainwashing movement, but almost all those who were related to the Donglin Party were pulled out and scolded, including even Gu Yanwu and Huang Zongxi.

The reaction of the imperial government is quite incomprehensible, at first, when the Southern Shilin, who provoked the banner of criticism, criticized it vigorously, many people still had lingering feelings about the massacre policy of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but when they scolded people, most of them still thought about it carefully, you must know that the activity of scolding people is also very skillful and 'sexual', and the scolding of the scholars must be very different from the usual 'women' scolding the street.

Basically, this criticized level is divided into several levels, and the first-class scolded is, of course, the handful that has been swept out, such as Fan Wencheng, Hong Chengchou and other dead targets; And it was followed by several unscrupulous cabinet ministers of Chongzhen in the past, and when they reached the third class, that is, the gang of Han 'traitors' of Nan Ming Zheng.

However, this very orderly queue and grading soon suffered serious damage, and you must know that the mainstream of the current critical movement is not a well-organized public opinion propaganda machine, but a large group of scholars, who live in different places, and the 'chaotic' swarm of swarms come up to scold, and the speeches are also 'chaotic', so it is inevitable that the mud and sand will fall, and most of them are Hu except for a few small groups that have contact with each other and have tacit understanding. Chao's found an unpleasant guy to shoot, in order to scold and become famous, and even bad people just talk nonsense, put on a hat of the Donglin Party and scold one of their enemies, and then the enemy counterattacked, and scolded in a mess.

So in this case, the scope of the great criticism could not be controlled, and almost all the famous Confucian scholars in the world were involuntarily involved, including Gu Yanwu and Huang Zongxi. Regarding Gu Yanwu's matter, although he himself is not a member of the Donglin Party, it is well known that Lord Zhou is a famous Confucian in the world, and he has 'friends' all over the world, so it is simply impossible to say that there are no Donglin Party members among his friends, so this kind of behavior was immediately hung up by people as "close to Zhu Zhe is red, close to ink is black" or what is the villain's group, what is the gentleman's group, etc., and is considered a hypocrite with a Donglin background.

And about Huang Zongxi, it is even more wronged, if you just say that he himself really has nothing to do with the Donglin Party, but unfortunately, his father was once the right-hand man of the Donglin Party, and in the Chongzhen Dynasty in the past, he was also regarded as the number one person in the party who could speak, and we Chinese have always liked to push down according to blood relations: dragons give birth to dragons and phoenixes, and rats give birth to sons who will make 'holes', since this surnamed Huang has such a 'bastard' old man on the stall, can he be clean himself?!

To tell the truth, the vast majority of the officials who are still in the position of magistrates in the south are still the people who surrendered from the pseudo-Qing Dynasty, and most of them are trembling and panicking all day long, but they did not expect that there would be an article openly attacking the "imperial court officials" on their own land, and it was widely circulated and sensational.

Spread out a layer more, these two are not others, one is the imperial erudite Confucianism and Taixue Doctor, and he has to give a lecture to the emperor before the feast when he has nothing to do on weekdays - what does this mean, the court is good to say that he is preparing for the prime minister, and when the court is bad, he is said to be the spokesperson of the political fǔ image, and the last time it is also the mentor of the future batch of "disciples" of the Son of Heaven.

And in addition, it is even more incredible, the scientific name is all over the world, the world is a great Confucian, a member of the three grades of the imperial court, and what is even more terrifying is that he also has a title called "Emperor Master"!!

The emperor's master, you dare to scold too?! This kind of thing is really not wronged at all.

So the magistrate played the emperor on the one hand, and hurriedly dispatched people to urgently suppress it, and a guy caught and deducted the big ticket readers, and almost the prison cells were almost full, but what made people break the glass was that when the job was only half done, the southern big ticket readers were planning to follow the story of the Eastern Han Dynasty to go to Que Shangshu or run away from the whole country, and the news came from Yangzhou: The court does not offend the doctor with words, release people! !

Jiangnan officialdom suddenly lost its voice.

Then Shilin was a sensation, and Lin Feng's image immediately rose straight from the level of Zhu Yuanzhang to Li Shimin's stage, and everyone in the world 'handed over' Chen Zan: Look, he really deserves to be an emperor who was born as a scholar, and he has won the essence of my Confucius and Mencius, and it is really different!

In fact, just before the Han army went south, the general view of Lin Feng in the south Shilin was: "Fujian is broken, and he can't study, so he turns to join the army", and his cultural level is roughly the same as that of an innkeeper.

After getting the connivance of the imperial government, Shilin's remarks are of course more unscrupulous, it can be said that the current air of public opinion is almost unprecedented freedom, if you compare it from history, it may only be the 'spring' autumn and the Warring States period can be compared, but all the guys with a turban are all cow B coaxing, arrest who' So the scope of the victims continued to expand, and the whole empire, counting down from Lin Feng's level, starting with Li Guangdi and ending with a certain villager in the most rural area, but wherever there were only scholars, there would definitely be a certain official who would be scolded, and the prestige of the officials of the imperial government would generally drop by a few levels, in fact, at this time, Lin Feng also carried the tremendous pressure from the bureaucracy, and when the great criticism continued and deepened, the officials of the government and the opposition almost went crazy to the book, In fact, up to now, the negative impression and social 'chaos' and 'chaos' caused by this disorderly public opinion phenomenon on the current Chinese society are obvious, and since the time of Qin Shi Huang, the image of the "Ya'men' mighty" created by various dynasties and generations in China has almost suffered a blow to the overturning 'sex', which is very ineffective for the local government's control over the administrative divisions in the future, and directly affects the administrative effect of the government's actions in the future.

This time, the Shilin 'chaos' and 'chaos' are completely different from the previous times of scholars' troubles, whether it is the scale, impact, effect, or the 'sexual' nature and purpose of the incident itself, there are qualitative differences.

Therefore, in response to this problem, this time the various factions within the Lin Han Empire almost reached an unprecedented unanimity, that is, it must be suppressed on a large scale - at least at least, and the momentum of this ideological 'trend' must be curbed.

Lin Feng remained calm and silent about this.

No one knows what His Majesty the Emperor is thinking now.

As the supreme head of the imperial government, and as a dictatorial dictator with both military and political sides, his current performance is very dissatisfying to the political clique he leads. Strictly speaking, this is malfeasance.

But the bureaucracy and anyone else could do nothing about it.

In the history we know, in most cases, the power of an individual, even the most expensive emperor, is far smaller than that of a group or a class - but in a special era and a special historical background, the power of a person and a leader can overwhelm the people of the whole country without any suspense.

Lin Feng has this power now!!

- What is this kind of reliance?! He had the complete allegiance of an army, and at his command, a million heroic armies were immediately dispatched to level mountains, cross rivers, cross seas, and sweep away all enemies; He has a lofty prestige unprecedented in China in nearly 500 years, and the emperor's call will be echoed by all the opposition scholars.

In today's era, in the north and south of the country, he is the savior of the nation, which is admired and worshiped by tens of millions of people; Inside and outside the Great Wall, he is the invincible god of war, feared by all enemies.

This kind of power, even the bureaucracy that has controlled Chinese politics for more than a thousand years, is absolutely impossible to contend with. It can be said that the emperor can destroy the group, purge the group, or rebuild the group as soon as he wishes.

There is a saying among Chinese folklore, called: drunk and lying on the knees of a beauty, waking up to the power of the world - a person who can overwhelm the whole country, can control the times, can control history, and can guide the track of history for decades or even hundreds of years?! Throughout China's 5,000-year history, have there been more than ten?!

Those so-called drill camps, relying on cleverness and little sycophants to get a moment of pride, they are also worthy of being called "drunk and lying on the knees of beauties, waking up to control the power of the world?!" ”

If you want to use one word to describe it, choose the Chinese language collection, then there is only one word that is most appropriate: shit!!

In the oriental cultural system and ideological inertia, the value of the leader is placed in the highest position. This event, which now takes place under the rule of the Lin Han Empire, is the best interpretation of this idea. Now, all the officials in the imperial government felt collectively uneasy, but Emperor Lin Feng said softly: "Release people!" ”

So it was suppressed.

After a public endurance that bordered on suffering, when the Shilin class had widely criticized many officials within the imperial government, and even the audience felt that it was a bit old-fashioned, the wind changed again, and the spearhead was directed abroad, directly at the few remaining princes in the country, who were still bulldozed: the Wu political clique of the Southern Zhou Dynasty, the Zheng Ching military clique of Taiwan, and the Shang Kexi warlord clique of Guangdong.

When Shilin's attention just turned to this group, suddenly, the anger immediately erupted like a volcano, and it was only at this time that everyone suddenly realized and was annoyed - it turned out that the so-called "traitors" and hypocrites who had been criticized before were still small fish and kittens, and the real traitors and traitors were actually doing their own "emperors" and "county kings", and they also had a large army, and they had been betrayed by them decades ago. The heads of their compatriots who have been slaughtered by them are powerful.

Shilin, who was already 'excited' and high-spirited, immediately began to make a big move, postings, chronicles, essays, and poetry collections swarmed all over the world, Wu Sangui, Kong Youde, Shang Kexi, and Geng 'Jing' Zhong, the four former pseudo-Qing vassal kings, immediately became the mainstream villains, and the scholars who have always studied history immediately cited the scriptures and classics, and put these guys together with the early deaths. Mao's Wenlong and the like, all turned out, counting the sins of these warlords from the end of the Ming Dynasty to the present, colluding with foreign races to bring disaster to the country and the people, and using various ways to carry out all-round criticism and abuse, all kinds of things, from personal family gossip to how many people their leaders killed on a certain year, month, and day, all of which are clearly listed and spread all over the world.

From Nuergan to Lanzhou, from the Chahar steppe to the southern front, the whole country was 'excited' with indignation, and those torrents of criticism and shouts were converted into only two words: war!!

The whole country was furious.

But Her Majesty the Queen was also furious.
