Chapter 29: Overcorrection (Ask for Support)

On April 21, even Liaodong was already in late spring at this time, and the weather was warm, even at night, there was no cold before the month.

However, on this day, for the soldiers and civilians inside and outside Shanhaiguan City, they felt a chill from the south, compared with the usual, today's Shanhaiguan is completely different from the past. At this time, Shanhaiguan was all plain, just yesterday, a clipper ship from Haizhou brought the news of the death of Zheng Chenggong, the king of Fujian, who was discussing with the generals at that time, after learning the news, he instantly fell into a stupor.

Almost just sat there, and after a full hour, he ordered someone to mourn Zheng Chenggong, and the whole army wore white clothes. For a long time, no one dared to speak, and people just watched the king sit there, and vaguely, they could see the tears in the king's eyes. Then the king let him go, and he sat there quietly, as if he was in no mood to pay any more attention to anything else.

As for the generals in the army, they are naturally cautious, but they just ordered the army to mourn for the king of Fujian, and the officers and soldiers wore white clothes, and no one dared to ask anything else. Perhaps, they know that there are such and such contradictions between Jiangbei and Jiangnan, but they also know that the king was born in Fujian, and the king of Fujian has the grace of knowing him, and even the princess is the sister of the king of Fujian.

It's normal for the king to be sad.

But on the other hand, now the king of Min is dead.

Is this good news for Jiangbei?

No one will say, and few will dare to say anything.

But if Qian Lei is here, he will definitely say that this is good news!

After all, for Qian Lei, who has always regarded Nanjing as an opponent, in his opinion, the king's biggest rival is none other than the king of Fujian. In the power struggle, not to mention such a little family affection, even the biological father and son will meet each other, in the history books, such things are not less written.

However, the king seems to have always been very tolerant of King Min, and has chosen to compromise on many issues. Seem...... The king is too benevolent and righteous, and sometimes, even the important ministers in the palace will secretly speculate that benevolence and righteousness are a good thing, but the superior is too benevolent and righteous, which is not necessarily a good thing.

And for many Wenchen generals, the death of King Min also made them breathe a sigh of relief, at least he didn't need to face King Min in the future, as for why he faced it, everyone knew that that day was almost inevitable. And this also means that all along, the king's biggest concern is gone-after all, the king of Min has the grace of knowing the king, as for who in the Zheng family will be the king of Min in the future, it doesn't matter, Zhu Di can take the world of his nephew, not to mention that this is just between his uncle and nephew?

The biggest obstacle disappeared overnight, for Jiangbei, this is naturally a good thing, as for the king who is upset and sad now, it should be! Otherwise, some people will definitely say that the king is ruthless and unjust.

However, for many ordinary loyal soldiers, they naturally will not have all kinds of thoughts like some people, and even secretly "applaud" Zheng Chenggong's death in their hearts, thinking that he died at the right time, so as not to meet in the future. Compared with the superiors, the emotions of these ordinary soldiers are simple, in their hearts, King Huai is a great hero, and King Min is also a true hero. Even if it is said that the Ming Dynasty is prosperous, the King of Min must also be the first merit in the world.

And now that the King of Min is dead, the young and strong King Min has died so suddenly.

How is this possible?

At the very least, we should wait until the Northern Expedition is successful before leaving!

Sometimes, people's emotions are so simple, when many soldiers regret the death of King Min, more are unwilling to believe it, they hope that this is fake news, if it is true...... Oh my God, it's too cruel.

The news that came suddenly, not to mention an ordinary soldier, was Zhu Mingzhong, he also didn't believe it, but the news was accurate, not only the intelligence of the Military Division, but also the letter from the Min Wangfu, everything told him - Zheng Chenggong was dead!

As in history, he died young, and even when he died, he did not see the moment of success of the Northern Expedition. For him, this may be the regret of a lifetime.

After ordering the whole army to wear white clothes and mourn for Zheng Chenggong, the distraught Zhu Mingzhong still locked himself in the room for a whole day and night, never entering a drop of water, and did not leave the room. He just wanted to sit quietly alone, and then hang Zheng Chenggong in his heart.

It wasn't until the early morning of the next day that Zhu Mingzhong quietly walked out of the room alone, he did not walk in the city, but went directly to the city wall and then followed the trail on the city wall, out of the city wall is the Great Wall, this Great Wall is the defense line of the Han nation, and in history there are many generals and famous generals like the Great Wall to guard this nation, countless, compared to the brick Great Wall, they are the real Great Wall of this nation, and Zheng Chenggong is also one of them.

Just walked along the Great Wall with a chaotic mind, all the way to the sea, and then walked all the way to the old dragon's head, along the way, although occasionally met soldiers in white, but Zhu Mingzhong did not chat with them as usual, expressed concern, and even turned a blind eye to their salute.

Zhu Mingzhong, who was in a chaotic mood, was in no mood to do these things at this time. The so-called "old dragon head" is actually "into the sea stone city", to the east of the nine gates of the Great Wall on the water, into the sea stone city is like a dragon's head into the sea, make waves and dance waves, hence the name "old dragon head", Qi Jiguang was to prevent the Mongolian cavalry from sneaking into the sea from the sea in the low tide or the dry season in winter, mobilized soldiers to build this sea stone city. The Great Wall that people are most familiar with in later generations is not the Great Wall of the Qin and Han dynasties, nor the original Ming Great Wall, but the Great Wall built with bricks and stones presided over by Qi Jiguang.

On this stone city, a soldier with a gun would occasionally look into the distance, and the most inexplicable thing to him was probably the figure standing at the end of the wall of the old dragon's head. The man stood at the end of the battlements of the city wall by the sea, and could see that his arm was pressed against the barrel of the cannon beside himโ€”after the recovery of Shanhaiguan, many gun emplacements were added, and this was no exception.

The man was dressed in black, and although the sea breeze was very strong, and even the white waves were sometimes slapped against the city wall, the man did not move, but looked at the sea.

The soldier only looked there occasionally, he had just changed the guard, he didn't know who that person was, but he knew that it must be an officer, ordinary soldiers at this time, most of them were resting in the barracks, who would stand there and watch the sea idle?

The sea, what's there to see?

Why is this happening?

Staring at the sea, looking at the wind and waves on the sea, although the wind and waves crashed on the reef and splashed the waves, sometimes falling on his body and on his face, Zhu Mingzhong was still standing here, his expression still with an unbelievable look.

Why is this happening?

Why did he die?

Why?

Why is it early?

Originally, Zhu Mingzhong had thought that Zheng Chenggong might die young, as in history, but in any case, he never thought that Zheng Chenggong would go so early, earlier than in history!

Even similar to history, he was also to death!

In history, after his father was killed and Yongli was killed, in the face of the situation that loyalty and filial piety could not be both, and in the face of the dilemma of being unable to return to heaven, Zheng Chenggong, who was depressed and ill, was angry to death by Zheng Jing's absurd behavior, and now, he is also angry with Zheng Jing.

History, after a circle, back to this step, everything is the same...... Eccentric, even giving the illusion that maybe history cannot be changed. If it weren't for the fact that history has changed so much, Zhu Mingzhong would probably really believe this, and even be disheartened because of it.

"Hey......"

Looking at the end of the sea, while Zhu Mingzhong sighed, he once again remembered in his mind that he was terrified when he saw Zheng Chenggong for the first time, although he almost lost his life several times at that time, but in the end, he survived.

If it weren't for Zheng Chenggong, how would he be today?

No matter how some experts in later generations said that he was obsessed with the family business in the "later period", and then "how to go against the trend of history and resist reunification", in Zhu Mingzhong's view, Zheng Chenggong has always been a national hero of the Han people.

Like Wen Tianxiang and Yue Fei, they are all national heroes, maybe they "don't know the current affairs", maybe they are not "handsome", but the reason why this nation can be inherited for 5,000 years is precisely because these "people who don't know the times" and "go against the trend" to move that they have tempered the soul of this nation!

As for those so-called experts and scholars, they are just a bunch of bastards who are not enough slaves.

Once upon a time, Zheng Chenggong was just an admirable historical figure in Zhu Mingzhong's heart, but after crossing over, after coming into contact with the flesh-and-blood national surname, his admiration for him did not decrease in the slightest, and even admired him even more.

Only in this era do you know what "mantis arm as a car" is, and only then do you know what kind of spirit Zheng Chenggong used to try to turn the tide, perhaps, in another time and space he failed, but he never gave up.

Don't he know what it means to strike a stone with an egg? Don't know what a mantis arm is when a car?

He knows it, even better than anyone else, but he's been working hard and fighting!

The husband will not rest until he dies!

Now, he's dead!

Tears slipped down Zhu Mingzhong's eyes again, and Zheng Chenggong died...... Why couldn't he accept the seven cuts in peace? Why can't you accept all this with a thick face? He couldn't do it because of his pride, because he didn't want to accept such shame!

Shame, in another time and space, the defeat of Nanjing, the death of Yongli, and the hopelessness of recovering the country...... Everything was pressed on him, how desperate it was, and the absurdity of his son made him desperate, because he knew that maybe, there was really no power to return to heaven, and there was no successor. That's why he died of depression.

And what about this plane? He couldn't bear that kind of shame, he couldn't accept it, perhaps, this is spiritual cleanliness!

"Life is a hero, death is also a ghost......"

Reciting these two lines of Li Qingzhao's poems, Zhu Mingzhong thought of the temperament of the Chinese people from Zheng Chenggong's death. How many people in the country can understand the reason why Xiang Yu is unwilling to cross Jiangdong? Once upon a time, Zhu Mingzhong couldn't understand why Xiang Yu "refused to cross Jiangdong"? Obviously, as long as he returns to Jiangdong, he will have a chance to make a comeback, but why doesn't he cross?

It's just a river away, but for him, it's the boundary between life and death! Just a thought, but it is a decision of survival! It wasn't until he re-read "Xiang Yu Benji" and "Xiang Yu Benji" that Zhu Mingzhong understood the noble meaning of Xiang Yu's "refusal to cross Jiangdong": "Eight thousand people crossed the river to the west with the children of Jiangdong, and no one has returned today. Even if he doesn't say anything, he is worthy of his heart? At the moment of life and death, Xiang Yu finally gave up the chance to survive because he had no shame to see Jiangdong's father, because he was ashamed, and resolutely chose to die - "Thank Jiangdong's father with death". Xiang Yu's abandonment of life and death was something that Liu Bang and others couldn't do anyway, and it was precisely because of this that future generations were stunned, and even felt a little unbelievable.

Doesn't he know what it means to endure humiliation? What is Lying on Salary?

Xiang Yu may have lost his life, but he left behind a spirit of shame that covers thousands of years. Shame is the cornerstone of human morality, the source of good social atmosphere, and the basic quality of human beings. Once a person is shameless, he will definitely degenerate into an "inhuman" similar to an animal, and he will be able to do all kinds of ugly, evil, and inhumane things. It is precisely because of this that the ancestors regarded shame as the soul of the "spirit of scholars", which is the bottom line of the survival of scholars and the original driving force for them to make contributions. Because of shame, scholars have the concept of "seeing insults without fighting, and insulting them"; "The three armies can win the commandery, but the horseman can not win the ambition"; The will of "rather for broken jade, not for the whole tile".

It's a pity that this spirit of shame, after experiencing the enslavement of Meng Yuan, is almost wiped out in the body of the Chinese people, what is left?

It is the "great wisdom" of taking a step back and opening up the sky.

No one cares what is holding back without a bottom line?

It is Han Xin's "wisdom" that can be humiliated by the crotch.

No one cares what it is to endure without a bottom line?

It seems that it is from then on that "those who know the times are handsome" has become the principle of the Chinese people, as for what shame, what humiliation, in the eyes of the people, it is not worth mentioning "it is better to die than to live", since Han Xin can bear the shame of the crotch, then what can we not stand it?

Since then, shamelessness has become synonymous with them, and shamelessness has become their nature.

Soldiers can be killed, but not humiliated!

Death is not afraid and humiliation is not acceptable!

The soul of the Chinese people has been lost for too long!

"A soldier can be killed, but not humiliated!"

This is the way of being a person, as for what "take a step back and open the sky and endure the calm for a while" is just a coward's words, but just an excuse for a coward to find for his cowardice!

If there is no shame, there will be no order in a society, and there will be no bottom line for people to do things. Just like the captives of many scholars and doctors at the end of the Ming Dynasty, don't they know shame?

No!

It's not because they don't know shame, but because they use "bearing the burden of humiliation" and "humiliation under the crotch" to excuse their cowardice, and use the so-called "knowing the times" to explain themselves. And all they need is to tell the world that "Han Xin was humiliated by his crotch first, and then he succeeded", so as to explain their behavior - what is it to surrender to the alien race, I am humiliated for a moment today, but in exchange for personal prosperity, why should I be stubborn, why should I not know the current affairs. You don't know if Xiang Yu can endure the humiliation, how can he die in Wujiang?

It seems that their words really have a point.

Since then, what has become of the Chinese scholars? They have become more able to "endure humiliation and burden" than the other, to tolerate "the shame of the crotch" than the other, and to "understand current affairs" more than the other, and in their mouths, this has become the "wisdom" and "wisdom" of people.

Why not take a step back? Don't you know how to take a step back and open the sky?

Why not put up with it for a while? Don't you know how to endure a moment of calm?

And what about the descendants? In order to learn the "great wisdom" of the ancients, everyone is there to learn to "take a step back", learn to "endure for a while", and learn to "understand current affairs", which is the real "wisdom".

No one cares, what is a step back without a bottom line, a tolerance without a bottom line, and a knowledge of current affairs without a bottom line.

In the end, in this forbearance, a mere million Manchus ruled over hundreds of millions of Han people for nearly three hundred years. People who know the affairs of the times give advice to them and become officials when they are enslaved by foreign races. Even in the thirties of the twentieth century, there were still countless traitors who were willing to become traitors for the Japanese invasion. Even in the 21st century, there is the so-called "Seichi", shamelessly cheering "the glory of the Great Japanese Empire".

This is the shameless end......

"It is shameful to do oneself, to be in all directions, and not to dishonor the king's life, which can be described as a gentleman."

With his eyes closed, Zigong asked in the "Analects of the Confucian Road": "How can you be described as a man?" When Confucius answered, Zhu Mingzhong's whole person fell into silence, and at this moment, he felt that he had truly understood Zheng Chenggong for the first time.

Zheng Chenggong's depression became a disease precisely because he felt shameless to face the world, because he knew his shame.

Son of man and father of man.

The father betrayed the country for the sake of glory and preciousness, and the son violated human ethics.

With such a great shame, how could he get through his own level?

Shame......

At this time, a few more people are ashamed!

If the world is ashamed, why did the Manchus serve China for nearly 300 years!

Not only is it shameless, but even more so, it is even more proud of shamelessness!

Even himself...... With his eyes closed, Zhu Mingzhong thought of himself, he thought of how he had also tried to make peace with the mud when he learned that Zheng Zhilong had returned safely, although deep down he hoped that Zheng Zhilong would get the punishment he deserved, but on the other hand, he chose to compromise with reality. chose to be silent, and acquiesced to everything without expressing a position.

Isn't this exactly the choice that Junjie who knows the current affairs should make?

Why is Zheng Chenggong entangled?

Why is it so hard to decide?

What did he decide?

Perhaps the dying moment was the root cause of his depression - the problem he had been thinking about was not to release, but to ...... Righteous national law! Shame on you!

In connection with Zheng Chenggong's last words mentioned in the secret report sent by the Junzheng Division, Zhu Mingzhong felt ashamed at the same time, and thought of the will issued by the Wannian Imperial Court, and his mind sank slightly.

Zheng Zhilong is not guilty?

Zheng Jing is not guilty?

If this is the case, the upward and downward effects will be effected, and in the future, will the people of the world find reasons and excuses for their shamelessness!

Sometimes, it's better to be stubborn.

As for what "sleek"!

Don't!

Sneering, Zhu Mingzhong's gaze became more and more resolute, he knew that sometimes, people have to make some choices, the person who knows the times may be Junjie, but now ...... He didn't want to be sorry for this Junjie!

It is the Chinese people, this "Junjie", can not be, Chinese, most of the time, always too tolerant, too tolerant, too "understanding of current affairs". Maybe it's overkill, but a lot of times, overkill has to be overdone, or it won't have any effect at all! This is especially true in the face of the so-called millennium of "traditions"! If it is not correct, it cannot be overkill!

Half an hour later, after returning to the room, Zhu Mingzhong stood in front of the table, and after a moment of silence, he wrote a sentence on the fold, and then said to the guards outside the door.

"Send this fold to 10,000 years now! Send a clipper! โ€

The letter was not sent out at the first time, as a sparse recital, according to the rules of the house, there is still a need to go through an inspection, which has been avoided from being rude, and Liu Can is the person who is responsible for polishing the pen for it. When he saw the contents of the song, he immediately went to see the king.

"King, this fold must not be made!"

"Why not?"

Zhu Mingzhong looked at Liu Can, who was nearly fifty years old in front of him, he was the son of the great Confucian Liu Zongzhou, Liu Zongzhou died of hunger strike after the Ming Dynasty, and it was like this, in Zhu Mingzhong's opinion, Liu Can should be able to understand himself better.

"Zheng Zhilong, who was favored by the country and surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, how many people in my Ming Dynasty died because of this? If such traitors are pitiful, then who will have mercy on the tens of millions of people who were killed by the captives? Zheng Jing, as the son of the world, should be imprisoned in the southern capital, so as to avoid the worries of the queen of Fujian, but his prostitution is so, not only the ** mother, but also the birth of a son, so if he succeeds to the throne of the king of Fujian, the spirit of the king of Fujian in the sky, why is he blind? โ€

After saying this, Zhu Mingzhong looked at Liu Can, who wanted to speak, and then shook his head and said.

"Gu knows that you want to persuade Gu, since this is the case, and you will be hurt by this, why can't you take a step back. However, if Zhu resigns today, he is really sorry for his brother and sorry for the world......"

"The king, if this is sent to the imperial court, not only will the two feudal domains of Huai and Fujian break up from then on, but it may even make the good situation collapse today, minister, please put the overall situation first! Slow down this sparse! โ€

"Focus on the big picture......

With a long sigh, Zhu Mingzhong glanced into the distance,

"These truths, it's not that Lone doesn't understand, the overall situation is important, if it is not for the overall situation, how can the imperial court pardon Zheng Zhilong's unforgivable sins? How could the sister-in-law agree to Zheng Jing's succession? The so-called overall situation is just the interests of the world, but it is just an excuse to do things smoothly. Sometimes, it's better to be square! โ€

Turning his head to stare at Liu Can, Zhu Mingzhong, who had already made up his mind to overkill, said.

"Send ten thousand years!"

"My lord, this minister will never agree to hand it out,"

Raising his head, Liu Can looked directly at the king and said.

"If the king insists on going his own way, it must be decided by all the soldiers!"
