Chapter 185: Big Wood for Beams

"Uh...... Teacher ...... Let the general make fun of ......"

Hearing the words "the water is too cold", Qu Shiyun's face was slightly red, he paused, and explained in a low voice, "Actually...... Teacher ...... Although it was a last resort to beg for surrender, it was indeed an act of apostasy by the soft bones...... However, in recent years, he has been in captivity, regardless of his old age and frailty, he has not forgotten to form a party day and night, and he has done his best to oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty...... The year before last, he also wrote to me, using the metaphor of the 'three bureaus of catalpa scales' to bitterly state the situation in the world and list the urgent and important priorities of the moment...... It's a wake-up, right? ”

Lin Xiao listened quietly, and when he heard the word "forming a party", he couldn't help but laugh.

Aren't the Donglin Party members the best at doing this?

After the fall of the eunuch party, wasn't the entire Chongzhen Dynasty brought down by these people who only talked about misleading the country in addition to forming a party?

On the day of national calamity, at a critical juncture, among these people, how could there ever be a person who turned the tide?

Because he is also a fellow villager in Changshu, Lin Xiao knows a little about Qian Qianyi in history, this person is Mu Zhai, a native of Luyuan Xipu, Changshu County, Suzhou Prefecture (now Luyuan Xipu, Tangqiao Town, Zhangjiagang City), a famous Confucian in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and a famous literary name, and is one of the leaders of the Donglin Party.

In the thirty-eighth year of Wanli, the twenty-eight-year-old Qian Qianyi, that is, he was admitted to the Jinshi with the rank of Tanhua (the first and third place), and the later official went to the Chongzhen Dynasty Rite Department to serve as a waiter, and was dismissed for representing the Donglin Party and the eunuch party remnants Wen Tiren failed to fight for power.

In the fourteenth year of Chongzhen, 59-year-old Qian Qianyi married the 23-year-old "head of Qin Huai Bayan" in his hometown of Changshu.

After marriage, because Liu Ru is very competitive, the life of the two is quite harmonious, Qian Qianyi for Liu Ru is in Yushan to build a spectacular and gorgeous "Qianyun Building" and "Red Bean Pavilion", the golden house is Jiaojiao, the two live together in Qianyun Building, reading and discussing poetry is relatively happy.

After the martyrdom of Chongzhen, Ma Shiying and Ruan Dacheng supported King Fu to ascend the throne in Nanjing, and established the Hongguang regime of the Southern Ming Dynasty.

Soon the Qing army went south, when the soldiers came to the city, Liu Ru persuaded Qian Qianyi to throw himself into the water with him to martyrdom, Qian Qianyi pondered for a while, walked down the pool to test the water, and said: "The water is too cold, can't go down", Liu Ru is but jumped into the pool, and was rescued by everyone.

After the city was broken, Qian Qianyi finally surrendered shyly, and after the Qing Dynasty, he was appointed as a waiter in the Ministry of Rites, and the people of the time ridiculed this apostatous literary giant with "the water is too cold".

Although later under the influence of Liu Ru, Qian Qianyi soon resigned from his official position and returned to his hometown, but it can be seen from this that these scholars and doctors in scarves and uniforms and boastful talk are far inferior to Liu Ru is "lowly" prostitute in terms of integrity and ethics.

And now, it's all at this time, this person will still only form a party and collude, do some sneaky things, and it's strange what can be accomplished.

It seems that the saying "scholars rebel and fail in three years" is true, such people are clowns after all, and it is difficult to get into the hall of elegance......

Qu Shiyun found that Lin Xiao was looking at him teasingly but didn't say a word, neither agreeing nor refuting, so he raised his hand and wiped his forehead, smiled self-deprecatingly, and changed the conversation:

"Speaking of this King of Yanping, in fact, the old man was not familiar with him...... When the old man entered the family teacher to study hard, it was when the family teacher returned to his hometown to worry about the system, and the family teacher was only young and established, but when he apprenticed, it was more than 30 years later, so we were just friends with the same family...... It was only later that the Tartars went south, Hongguang and Longwu failed one after another, and now the saint ascended the throne, he led the army to resist the Qing Dynasty, and changed the name of the Yongli year to Zhengshuo, and now the saint gave him the title of the king of Yanping, and the old man was able to have the honor to meet with him......"

As soon as he heard Qu Shiyun mention Zheng Chenggong, Lin Xiao suddenly came to his senses, and then squinted his eyes and smiled:

"Oh, I see? What is this King of Yanping, he is quite unfamiliar with the following, can you please tell me about his life deeds? ”

Qu Shiyun looked at Lin Xiao when he heard this, and saw that he was indeed quite interested, so he said in a deep voice:

"This man is a young man, loyal to his liver and courage, and has a very high vision, and he will be a great weapon in the future...... By the way, he's only seven in his twenties this year, so he's younger than you...... His original name was Zheng Sen, when the first emperor Longwu gave him the national surname, and gave him the name of success, he was given the title of loyalty and filial piety, and his deployment was respectfully called the national surname......

His father Zheng Zhilong went to the sea to do business in his early years, because the imperial court forbade the sea, he also engaged in maritime smuggling, and after annexing all kinds of pirates, his power grew stronger, and he almost monopolized the trade with Toying Japan...... In the third year of the Apocalypse, Zheng Zhilong married a local woman, Tagawa, and the next year, Zheng Sen was born on Hirado Island, Japan.

In the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, Zheng Sen entered Nanjing Guozijian for further study, and admired the family teacher Qian Muzhai, who lived in Changshu, your hometown for a period of time, and also mentioned the poems of Youjianmen and Taoyuanjian...... By the way, at the beginning, the family teacher also gave him a table word 'big wood', which means 'big wood is a beam', and encouraged him to be a pillar of talent...... Well, your name is Shuangmu, his name is Damu, you two, you can ......"

Qu Shiyun paused, pointed at Lin Xiao and smiled.

"Eh, how dare you! Your Excellency is serious! It's serious! ”

When Lin Xiao heard this, he hurriedly shook his hands.

Who is Zheng Chenggong? That is a national hero admired by everyone, even his opponent Kangxi called him "the lonely loyalty overseas", how dare he be compared with him as an unknown junior of later generations? What a sin!

"Why don't you dare?"

Lin Xiao's exaggerated reaction made Qu Shiyun confused, and looked at him suspiciously, no matter your age or strength, you are better than Zheng Chenggong, what is there that you dare not compare?

Seeing this, Lin Xiao hurriedly covered it up and said, "Uh...... I mean, people are princes, which can be compared to an overseas traveler in the lower district......"

"What's this? If you really recovered Nanjing, and even Beijing, how could the Holy One not give you an official rank and a knighthood? According to the old man, the two of you are like the peerless pride of our dynasty, and you will soar to the sky and eventually become the pillars of the country! ”

"This ...... My lord, let's continue to introduce the recent situation of the country's surname, how many soldiers and horses does he have in his hands at the moment? ”

Qu Shiyun's words made Lin Xiao's face red, he touched his nose, and said embarrassedly.

"Good...... After the city of Nanjing was broken, Zheng Zhilong was convenient for Fuzhou to support Zhu Yujian, the king of the Tang Dynasty, as the emperor, changed the Yuan Longwu, and the twenty-two-year-old Zheng Chenggong began to lead the army, and was ordered to fight against the Tartars in Fujian and Jiangxi many times, and was quite valued by the Longwu Emperor...... However, Zheng Zhilong, who was really in power, had no intention of resisting the Qing Dynasty with all his might, and even when the Tartar army went south to Fujian, he ordered Xianxia to withdraw Shifu to Fuzhou, which led to the Qing army not being resisted at all when it invaded northern Fujian.

The traitor Hong Chengchou is also a native of Quanzhou, and Zheng Zhilong is a fellow villager, under the lure of his promise to the prince of the three provinces, Zheng Zhilong ignored the opposition of Zheng Chenggong, Zheng Hongkui and others, and decided to take several other sons to the north to surrender, Zheng Chenggong dissuaded his father from failing, and had no choice but to leave Kinmen with some sergeants......"
