Chapter 13: The Four Sons
Li Zhengmao did misunderstand.
Of course, due to their lack of historical talents, they can basically only rely on the help of search engines to search for keywords in historical materials in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, and confirm people's keywords.
For example, Qian Qianyi was marked with a label of "the water is too cold", which was arranged in, with a weak personality, but with some integrity, which belongs to the category that can be used to transform.
For example, Song Yingxing, who was born in Jiangxi, is a big scientist who wrote a famous article like "Heavenly Creations", although he is already seventy or eighty years old, but this product is quite alive, Li Xiangqian is ready to bring him to the imperial capital, even if he is not a teacher, be an example, and tell those scholars that they are not afraid to learn mathematics, physics and chemistry well, and they are not afraid to go all over the world.
Of course, at the same time, there is also a label, which is for "dangerous elements", this standard is a bit big, basically those hardcore traitors who have no discipline in history, for these people from later generations, surrendering to the conquerors from the north is really not the original sin, and after surrendering, the gang that frantically slaughtered and suppressed the Han people should be vigilant and pay attention to.
It's like Liu Liangzuo and Liu Zeqing, the four towns in Jiangbei, but they don't fight, and it is difficult to use the guys who surrender to the Manchus directly, but Huang Degong's perception in the eyes of everyone is much better, Li Chengdong and Xu Dingguo, who personally slaughtered millions of people in Yangzhou on the 10th day, the most diligent in the Jiading massacre, have actually been included in the blacklist of the Presbyterian Church, and what awaits them must be "alternative treatment".
This blacklist is not long, and the reasons for being written are also strange, but there are reasons for being targeted.
Among them, the same is true of Hou Fangyu.
From the perspective of officialdom, in fact, Hou Fangyu is a very, very failed person, from the eleventh year of Chongzhen to take the township examination, until the end of the Ming Dynasty, and did not get any good results, that is to say, Hou Fangyu did not even have an identity as a lifter, he has always been a showman, and even in the eighth year of Shunzhi, Hou Fangyu participated in the Henan Provincial Township Examination in the Qing Dynasty, that is, the examination to obtain the identity of the person, and still could not be admitted, and finally gave up, which can be said to be a typical failure.
But this thing was done in the cause of being a traitor, and succeeded to the peak, and failed to reach the peak, and in the era of Shunzhi rule, he actively made suggestions for the suppression of the peasant army in the Qing Dynasty, and made miraculous contributions to the suppression of the Yuyuan Army uprising, the largest peasant uprising in the early Qing Dynasty. It successfully solved the crisis in the early years of the Qing Dynasty, and at the same time proved in fact that foreign enemies cannot be hated, and traitors are the most hateful facts.
This can be regarded as a successful traitor, after all, even Qin Hui and Wang Jingwei have not slaughtered millions of compatriots once, which is that countless people helped wash the floor, Hou Fangyu went from a big traitor to a "fourth son" in the late Ming Dynasty, "Turbidity Shijia son", no way, literati, most of them are shameless.
Of course, Hou Fangyu's behavior was despised even by the Manchu bureaucrats, and in the end, he didn't get any official position, so he gave some money and sent home.
Therefore, it is also very obvious that he will be put into a separate book, and in the foreseeable future, even if this thing is lucky enough to enter the civil service of the Presbyterian Church, and wants to enter a higher level, the possibility is extremely low.
However, although he understands Hou Fangyu's personality, for Li Xiangqian, the time from the fall of the Qing Dynasty is basically calculated according to the days, and he is not afraid that Hou Fangyu will sell his country for glory thousands of miles away, so he has no other ideas, targeting Hou Fangyu, however, in the eyes of Li Zhengmao, who is used to observing words and feelings, this is Chiguoguo's jealousy.
These traditional literati always have a very strange thought, that is, except for us scholars, they are all stupid people who do not know the righteousness and are easy to be soaked and rotten by glory and wealth, but in fact, they are the most corrupt in the end. Give them food and delicacies to spoil their mouths; The woman who gave the music was ...... to the effect that it was to give the foreigners good food, fun, usefulness, and beautiful women, and corrupt the will of the foreigners, making them easy to deal with.
Of course, historically, these Confucian students are the most prone to corruption, but at this time, Li Zhengmao's brain didn't know what he was turning, and he didn't dare to say anything good about Hou Fangyu, so he turned his head and said to Hou Fangyu: "Virtuous nephew...... The son of the Hou family, the official has something to do, and he has recruited Miss Li, who is above board and righteous here, and here are all famous Confucians, you listened to the rumors, so you took this group of green skins to the Yin Yamen to make trouble, what kind of system has it become, I think your show is the end! ”
Hou Fangyu would not have done this, first, Li Xiangjun's godmother, Li Zhenli was concerned about the top card in her own building after being taken away by the official, and urgently notified her backer Chen Zhenhui, who happened to be met by Hou Fangyu, so she came over immediately, and secondly, don't forget the origin of this kid, the iron-clad Donglin Party, grandfather and father are the veteran families of the Donglin Party, the so-called "four sons" who come and go together, and also the backbone of the "Restoration Society".
As I said before, the Donglin Party is a pretend to be rooted in the south of the Yangtze River, and on the surface, he is not afraid of power and asks for the people's life for his own pretense, but in fact, there are many male thieves and female prostitutes, not to mention anything else, the Donglin Party of Donglin will record Li Sancai, the king of the Tota Heavenly King Nanjing Hubu Shangshu Li Sancai, the article is full of flowers, but his family property is as much as 5 million taels, which is equivalent to a year's financial income of the imperial court during the Apocalypse, because Li Sancai is actually an important hub of the Grand Canal, the general head of the merchants here in Tongzhou, Beijing.
They have money, although they don't have an army in their hands, but their influence on society is in all aspects, in terms of instigating the establishment of a new monarch, they go and Ma Shiying directly curry favor with the army, and then directly overlord the bow is different, the scholars are very eventful, not at all simple.
At this time, it happened to be Hou Fangyu and Chen Zhenhui, Fang Yizhi, and Mao Xiang, three brothers, drinking together in a restaurant, although their ability to do things is basically zero, but their ability to brag is also at its peak, pointing out the country and replanning the future, which is very convenient.
The reason why the "four sons" are called sons is naturally that their fathers are all officials, that is, the four more famous second generations of officials, but they are also the second generation of officials who are very active, at least they have a banquet along the Qinhuai River, the bottle of wine is not empty, and they are very good at living the life of a son and brother who is full of brains, among them, the oldest, Mao Xiang is 33 years old, one year older than our Comrade Wu Sangui, but Wu Sangui has become a generation of military leaders, and the eldest Chen Zhenhui is also 40 years old, it can be said, The quality of the four sons at the end of the Ming Dynasty is not as high as the level of the four sons of the Republic of China, at least they are really powerful.
