"The two talented men know the wind and the moon on weekdays, leaning on the red and green. Lamb wine, how to know the hardships of the harvest and the hardships of the people? The coarse food that seems to be difficult to eat, but the people are unwilling to ask for it. ”

This is still polite, and it is even more ugly to directly name and accuse.

"A certain son, the only thing in his mouth is that people's livelihood is difficult, how can a sheep's lips take 300 sheep? And three hundred sheep, each lamb cut a small piece of the lip into the dish, and the rest were discarded. The reason is that the sheep is just a little bit weak, and it is just a mouthful. Naturally, these people can't swallow the porridge of the homeless people, but why don't the current Emperor Hui of the Jin Dynasty eat minced meat! ”

In a word, compare our presumptuous and talented people to the famous idiot emperor Jin Huidi, why don't you eat meat porridge if you can't afford to eat?

The horn blown by the two great talents pointed the spearhead directly at the Jianghai cooperative defense and the customs tariff system that undermined the interests of the Jiangnan group, which was tantamount to throwing into the West Lake a Nazha who made trouble in the East China Sea and a monkey head who made trouble in the Heavenly Palace.

Suddenly, wherever the Jiangnan Times went, the tide surged. All kinds of people jumped out one after another to express their positions.

Behind the support of the two people's views were mountain people, hermits and other figures raised by Jiangnan merchants, who jumped out to write an article demanding the abolition of the customs system that harmed the country and the people, and the abolition of the river and sea cooperation defense system that hindered the smooth flow of trade routes. "If these two things are canceled, the goods will flow smoothly, and all the people will praise them, and I will definitely be bright tomorrow."

However, how can the eunuchs and the noble clique who are making money and making elated because of the Jianghai Cooperative Defense and the customs set up in Chongming Island, Hangzhou Bay and other places, can tolerate the golden rice bowl that they have just held in their hands for a few days being broken by two bastard scholars? At the moment, they are also organizing people to fight back in the newspapers.

"Ordinary people earn a little money with their own hands. Eat a full meal, enjoy some oily and watery dishes, occasionally come to a little entertainment, gamble a little money, drink a little wine, brag and fart. It is regarded as a flood beast by these two goods! In the view of this goods, it is normal and reasonable for ordinary people to face the loess with their backs to the sky, tired and stinky all year round, and to be tormented by life! ”

"We have also been to the camp of displaced people outside the business zone, which is not as unbearable as the big man said, and the displaced people can at least ensure that they have three full meals a day, with oil and salt. Earn money by working in the trade zone before waiting for the ship to go to sea to earn a living. This makes sense in front of that god and Buddha. It is the resurrection of the saint. It can't stop people's progress, right?! ”

"The two talented men are both living with beautiful maids, beautiful women, and fine sheep and wine, but how do they know the difficulties of the homeless? You felt that it was against the way of the saints, and the saints wept in Jiuyuan. Just for the sake of waiting for the dynasty and venturing the flow of the frontier to be able to 'pick chrysanthemums under the east fence. When you see Nanshan, you won't cultivate agriculture. If you don't open mines and build workshops, do you want the people to look at the mountains and rivers? Flowers and plants and starving to death, poor to death? ”

"Where does the military salary used by the imperial court come from now? It is called the inner library. Where did the silver dollars come from? This is called customs duty. Now that the battle on the front line in Liaodong is in full swing, if we cancel the customs and cancel the trade concession to the sea according to the opinion of Er, where will the military salary of Liaodong come from? Are you willing to repay the military salary? ”

The polemics or scolding battles between the two sides became more and more intense and rapidly escalated. However, the forms of expression are different.

On the side of the noble eunuchs, there are not many weighty literati, but there are a lot of middle and lower-level forces in their hands. Often in public places such as street teahouses and restaurants, a disagreement is a big fight.

On the other hand, on the side of the Jiangnan Group, there is a response, according to the tradition of Donglin or Fushe, the criterion for support or opposition is not right or wrong, but whether it is their own people who put forward this statement. As long as it is said by their own people, even if it is a great tonic for Yoneda, and arsenic has the effect of benefiting the country and the people, they will also make a loud noise. Call on the whole people to eat rice fields and drink arsenic together. And they themselves would never eat Yoneda and drink arsenic.

As a result, on the streets of Jiangnan and the pages of Jiangnan Times, there were two completely different one-sided situations for a while.

On the streets, the middle and lower echelons of the Xungui clique and the eunuch clique who have gained benefits are often bricks and sticks to those who dare to show their support for the arguments of the Jiangnan literati, and they dare not declare their views in broad daylight.

However, in the newspapers and various wine meetings, those who supported the views of Hou Fangyu and Mao Bijiang occupied an overwhelming advantage.

For this situation, Li Zhenli was so angry that she gave a grounding order to her daughter Li Xiangjun, who didn't know what was good or bad. "The one who dares to take the young lady out, or pass a message to her and come in, be careful of your skin!"

On the one hand, he ruthlessly cleaned up his baby daughter who was ignorant of the world, and on the other hand, he quietly organized some cold literati to write articles in the newspaper to fight back. The distress in Li Zhenli's heart is like coptis and bitter gourd. Unexpectedly, all of a sudden, the originally one-sided situation took a turn for the better.

Ma Shiying, who was formerly the governor of Xuanfu and was later ousted from power by the eunuch Wang Kun for the crime of taking thousands of gold from public funds and giving away the widows of the court, was also happy to see the hunting heart, and wrote an article in the newspaper under the name of Yaocao Sanren for the strict evaluation of the Jianghai cooperative defense system, the customs tariff system and the law enforcement of the trade zone built by Ning Yuanbo and the Xungui group.

"The people that the dynasty is relying on now, the southern army, the southern rice, and the southern salary! It is said that the Southern Army, the Southern Guangdong Army, the battalion is neat, and the soldiers dare to fight, and it is needless to say that the military discipline is strict. The north and south of the river, the north and south of the two capitals, the military and civilian eaters call it the south of the rice! Jiangnan is known as the land of fish and rice, and now how many acres of land are used for planting rice and grain? If it weren't for Ning Yuanbo's input of grain and rice, the land south of the Yangtze River would be starved for thousands of miles. Now the war in Liaodong and the suppression of thieves in the Central Plains have improved slightly, and those who are relied on are nothing more than brave soldiers and sophisticated equipment. Where does the grain come from, it is called tariff. If there is no such income, how can Inspector Hong charge hundreds of thousands of tigers and Pixiu and Jiannu Jingqi in successive bloody battles without falling to the ground? ”

In his article, Ma Shiying praised Li Shouhan, "I once thought that since the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, only the tyrannical Qin could do it, and I didn't want to see it in the Ningyuan Bozhi Business Zone." Although there is something wrong. However, there are also commendable points. However, this is a very fair comment, and it is actually not biased in favor of Li Shouhan. But it provoked Ma Shiying's fateful opponent, a hypocrite through the ages.

This person's name is Huang Zongxi, the word Taichong, the word Debing, the name Nanlei, the alias Lizhou Old Man, etc., and has a bunch of titles such as "the father of Chinese ideological enlightenment".

His father Huang Zunsu, Wanli Jinshi, the official imperial history of the Apocalypse. Donglin Party members. He was cut down for the impeachment of Wei Zhongxian and returned to his hometown, and soon after he was imprisoned and tortured to death. The case of the Apocalypse Dynasty was rehabilitated. Huang Zongxi beat the water dog at this time, and wrote to ask Xu Xianchun, Cui Yingyuan, etc., who were remnants of the eunuch party. In May, the Criminal Department will be tried. Testify in court. Out of the sleeve in the cone stabbed Xu Xianchun. Beat Cui Yingyuan in public, pulled out his beard and returned it to his father's spirit, known as "Yao Jiang Huang Xiaozi". was called "the lone son of a loyal minister" by Chongzhen's classmates.

Huang Zongxi, as an old Donglin Party member, was naturally very dissatisfied with Ma Shiying's article, and immediately wrote an article to refute it. He said that the original purpose of establishing a monarch was to "make the world benefit from it" and "free the world from its harms", that is to say, to produce a monarch is to make the monarch bear the responsibility of suppressing private interests and promoting public interests. For the sovereign, his duties are primary, and power is subordinate to the duty and then serves the fulfillment of his duty. The monarch is just a public servant of the world, "the ancients took the world as the mainstay, the monarch as the guest, and the ruler of the whole life and the operator, for the world." However, the later monarchs "thought that the interests and interests of the world came from me, and I took all the benefits of the world to myself, and all the evils of the world to others", and even "made the people of the world dare not be selfish, did not dare to be selfish, and took my great selfishness as the great public of the world", and "regarded the world as a great inheritance, and passed on to my descendants, and enjoyed infinitely" (see "The Original Monarch"). The act of "family and world" against the monarch fundamentally negates its legitimacy.

Attacking Li Shouhan is to take the world as his private property, take cool officials as his minions, do not share power with the people, and do not respect scholars, saying that the ancient son of heaven should have been a public servant of all people, and Li Shouhan, as a courtier of Chongzhen, should be a public servant of public servants. As a result, today the servant climbed on the head of the master, and the scholar only had a little dispute, but treated him with a cruel law. Then scolded Li Shouhan as a minister and was so arrogant, if the world is in the hands of this person, it will make the matter of King Zhou You repeat, I am afraid that when the time comes, I will be guilty. Ma Shiying is praised as a cool official, willing to be a minion, and deserves to be killed even more than the eunuchs in the past. It is not enough to kill one person, and the nine clans should be punished.

In addition, Huang Zongxi's statement was later carried forward and summarized as killing the whole family after democracy.

By the way, Ma Shiying, who was accused of being a traitor, a traitor, and a cricket, was himself a product of the compromise and balance between Zhou Yanru and the Donglin Party, and his appointment as governor of Fengyang was recommended by his good friend Ruan Dacheng. After that, Ma Shiying resolutely supported the Fu King who was closest to Chongzhen among the direct descendants of Shenzong at the time of the Jiashen State Change, which completely offended Donglin.

After the wonderful performances of Qian Qianyi and others, Ma Shiying, a descendant of the Donglin Party, wrote about the traitors through the ages, but he traveled to various places to resist the Qing Dynasty.

Qing archives prove that Ma Shiying has participated in the battle of crossing the Qiantang River to attack Yuhang, Fuyang and Hangzhou. In June 1646, the eastern part of Zhejiang was defeated, and Ma Shiying fled to Siming Mountain to cut his hair and become a monk, and was captured for righteousness, which is really commendable.

In contrast, when Huang Zongxi and Zhang Dai were in a difficult situation in the Lu Jianguo regime, they transferred to the Qing ruling area to shave their heads, and regarded themselves as the "remnants" of the Ming Dynasty.

In fact, what Mr. Gu Cheng said was that Wan Sitong, who participated in the actual compilation of the "History of the Ming Dynasty", made untrue and even slanderous remarks about Ma Shiying's death. In fact, Wan Sitong was ordered by Huang Zongxi to be "presided over by Huang Zongxi" in the Qing court in the eighteenth year of Kangxi, and Huang Zongxi actually sent himself to compile Wan Sitong and Wan Yan's uncle and nephew, that is to say, the slander of Ma Shiying's death was instructed by Huang Zongxi.

As I said above, all kinds of archival materials and people in the world know very well that Ma Shiying was captured and died, Huang Zongxi and others did not dare to directly slander Ma Shiying's death, but wrote in the biography of Ma Shiying in the History of the Ming Dynasty:

"Shiying and Changxing Bo Wu Risheng were captured, and they were all beheaded. The history of the country?????? And Yecheng Shiying escaped to Taizhou Mountain Temple as a monk, and was collected by our soldiers, and Dacheng and Guoan father and son surrendered successively. Looking for the king of Tang to go to Shunchang. I arrived with a large army, Solong carried, and the father and son of Shiying, Dacheng, and Guoan asked Wang to go out of the customs for the internal response, and then beheaded Shiying and Guoan in Yanping City. ”

In contrast, Huang Zongxi, Zhang Dai and others saw that the Nanming forces were not working, so they hurriedly abandoned the master. ran from his own territory to the enemy-occupied area, shaved his head and became obedient to the people in order to survive, dragging a braid and calling himself a "remnant of the Ming Dynasty". What's even more odious is that they continue to slander the martyrs who really served the Ming Dynasty for the Death Festival as "surrendered and killed", and everyone can really see what their moral character is!

In fact, it was not only Ma Shiying who was wronged at that time. The Hongguang Dynasty fell, and the ministers were martyred Gao Zhuo, Zhang Jie, Yang Weihuan, etc., among which Zhang Jie and Yang Weihuan were the so-called anti-party elements in the mouth of the Donglin Party, but both of them committed suicide and martyrdom when the city of Nanjing was broken. Especially Yang Weihuan, it is the whole family who dies together. But he is the same as Ma Shiying. After the death of his family and martyrdom, he was slandered and absconded for killing his concubine, and was beaten to death by the rebels. The person who creates such vicious rumors can really be described as "the tongue can plow"! Donglin Party people, hey, the so-called is not afraid of not knowing the goods. I'm afraid of shopping around!!

Finished speaking about the attitude towards the country. Let's talk about my attitude towards my friends. After the death of Zhang Pu, the leader of the Restoration Society. Although Zhang Pu was the giant of Donglin and the founder of the Restoration Society, most of the people in Donglin were anxious to discuss the official position with Zhou Yanru at that time, and the last person who was separated by a layer of relationship handled the affairs for him. This person is Ma Shiying, who was disgraced by Donglin.

Ma Shiying once said it herself. "If you talk about it? Although, what if? To hang Zhang Tianru (Zhang Pu), go thousands of miles for a month, for the brokerage of its future also, who asks the death of Tianru? "He said that you Donglin Restoration Party members don't speak in unison, which of you can compare with me? I am running the aftermath for Zhang Pu, and I have traveled thousands of miles in January, so who will be like me, to ask a dead Zhang Pu like this?

And the relationship between him and Zhang Pu is just because of a mutual friend, Ruan Dacheng.

Treat the country and friends, can do this, the ancient sages and benevolent gentlemen who are always on the lips of the Donglin Party are just like this, right?

Huang Zongxi's pretentiousness suddenly boosted the morale of the Donglin Party. A series of articles have been published. The printing workers in newspapers everywhere were so tired that their waists were about to break.

What's more, simply put words into action. Organized dozens, hundreds of dual-purpose ships on rivers and seas, swaggered through the customs to the sea, and when the customs in Chongming, Chuansha and other places came forward to check and intercept them, they were even more pointed at their noses and scolded the minions and lackeys of traitors who brought disaster to the country.

If one or two ships go to sea to smuggle, the customs people can also intercept them with the help of clipper cannons, but in the face of dozens or hundreds of large ships rushing wildly, they are also at a loss for a while, and they are actually blocked by the customs and sail out to sea.

"It's okay! Don't look at the fun today, be careful to pull the list in the future! ”

Looking at the piles of letters asking for guilt, official documents, and newspapers from Jiangnan and Jingshi, Shouhan sneered in the palace of King De, raised his feet and stomped on the paper all over the ground a few times, venting the anger in his heart.

In a letter written by Li Zhenli on a piece of Xue Tao's note, Shouhan saw this woman's full of indebtedness. A strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "That prospective son-in-law of yours has caused me such a big trouble, how can I retaliate?" Do you want to bring a green hat to that kid surnamed Hou in advance? ”

There is already a mother and daughter in the back house, and Shouhan doesn't mind adding another pair to his bed. What's more, this pair is only mother and daughter in name.

"Pass on the military order to Admiral Zheng Zhilong! He was instructed to strengthen the coastal defense of Nanzhili, Zhejiang, Fujian and other places, and strictly check the passing ships everywhere to see if there was any smuggling by the enemy! ”

"My lord, this is not necessary. With Admiral Zheng's style of doing things, the sentinel ships found that these ships did not have the Nanjing Garrison Yamen and the flag issued by us, so what if they rushed out of the Yangtze River estuary and Hangzhou Bay? I am afraid that in less than half a day's journey, it will become the capture of the sailors along with the ship and the goods. ”

Chen Tianhua and others, who were familiar with Zheng Zhilong's pirate temper, were not particularly interested in the afterthought order of guarding the Han, but nothing more than putting a more legitimate coat on Zheng Zhilong's coastal robbery.

"That's it! I am afraid that this decree has not yet reached Jiaozhou, and the smuggling ships and goods captured by Admiral Zheng and the captured sailors have already anchored and sold them in the ports of Guangzhou, Quanzhou and other places. ”

Shouhan snorted from his nostrils at these comments, but, with the urine nature of his in-laws, this kind of thing was definitely going to happen. Can you imagine a pack of hungry wolves led by a vicious wolf sparing a flock of fat lambs?

Zheng Zhilong is the wolf king of the sea, and his fleet is all wolves on the sea.

Picking up a newspaper casually, Shouhan frowned.

Some of the Nanzhong observations criticized above, although there are many factors of colored glasses, which are biased, but they also make him see some things that he does not want to see.

Capital came to the world, from head to toe with blood and filth.

During the Industrial Revolution, the average working day in Western countries was 16 hours, and the 12-hour working day was already the result of Jesus' blessing. In 1812, the British House of Parliament investigated and was shocked to find that thousands of child laborers worked 18 hours a day at the spinning machines.

Plantation labourers have been described as "resurrected slavery", and coolie mortality rates average 4.6% per year, so why are British goods rampant around the world? Because the average life expectancy of their workers is the lowest, and the artificial exploitation has reached the extreme, the rest of the countries cannot compete with them in terms of cost.

According to a London economic magazine, in the 30s and 40s of the 19th century, 1,400 miners in Britain died every year, and the average life expectancy of Liverpool workers was only 15 years. In the 40s of the 19th century, the average life expectancy of factory workers in France did not exceed 30 years.

In addition, the poor working environment has made all kinds of occupational diseases and infectious diseases epidemic among workers, such as silicosis, scrofula, rickets, typhoid, cholera, etc., because of long-term monotonous mechanical operation, many people's physical development is deformed, and their physical health is severely destroyed.

They are still very poorly paid, with adult male workers in France earning enough to buy a dress a month, and child laborers earning only enough to buy bread a day.

In this case, in order not to be deducted from wages or dismissed, female workers work in factories after pregnancy until the eve of childbirth, so they often cause miscarriages, and even give birth next to the machine, and return to the factory to work all day a week or even three or four days after giving birth.

Child laborers crawl and crawl in the tunnels to push coal trucks, often with incomplete limbs due to work-related injuries, but they endure filthy and filthy conditions, and work day and night, and all of them look skinny and pale.

And in this article that Shouhan saw, this phenomenon is also a large number of deposits.

"There is still a shortage of labor!"

"When the fighting here eases a little, more immigrants must go south, and the labor force increases, and this kind of forced oppression of workers will be better."

"No, it's not just a matter of increasing the labor force, which will make the labor force more and more worthless, or should we increase the mandatory provisions such as wages and welfare regulations for laborers! You don't want your children and grandchildren to be machine-gunned, do you?! ”

In their minds, the two Li Shouhan were constantly debating. (To be continued......)
