Chapter 117: The Loyal and Righteous (Second Shift, Asking for a Monthly Pass)
One monk, one another.
The two have completely different identities, and they actually accompanied each other all the way, from Beizhili all the way to Qinghe, and what is even more strange is the identity of the two, the monk is a remnant of the Ming Dynasty, and the Tao is a Korean envoy. And what is even more surprising is the special life experience of this envoy, which is even more impressive.
"The father and son, Choi Hyo-il, were originally from Kansai, North Korea. Because the Qing captives had captured Korea twice, the killing was no less than the war against the Japanese in the Wanli period. When the Manchu Qing Dynasty triumphantly withdrew its troops, they abducted hundreds of thousands of Koreans and set up a "human market" in Liaodong: a public auction like livestock; If the family wants to redeem their relatives, they need "five gold for men and three for women", which is simply a ransom of kidnapping! Barbarism is like this, it is really done by beasts, therefore, all the people of Xingfan Korea have a blood feud with the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Moreover, North Korea established the country with Confucianism, how can the "distinction between Yixia" be changed? ”
Cui Muhua, as the minister of the lower country, when he told all this, his expression was full of grief and indignation, and he did not hide his bitter hatred for the Qing prisoner at all.
"Although North Korea had to surrender to the Qing Dynasty, but from the monarch to the common people in Korea, all Korean people respected the Ming Dynasty as the Heavenly Dynasty and the state of their parents, and took the Ming Emperor as the Son of Heaven and the emperor. Because Korea has been Manchu and severed the relationship with the Ming Dynasty for more than 200 years, my father and the people with lofty ideals in Korea can no longer resist the Qing Dynasty in their homeland, so they can only come to the country of their parents to defend the society. In the twelfth year of Chongzhen, in order to avenge the hatred of the family and the country, his father moved his family to the sea, landed on the seaside of Dengzhou, Shandong, and went to Wu Sangui, the general soldier of Ningyuan, who was outside the Shanhai Pass, and then repeatedly made military exploits and was promoted to the general ......"
When telling about his father's experience, Cui Muhua's expression was filled with pride from the heart, as if it was his father's choice back then, or for his father's righteous act back then.
“…… When the news of the emperor's hanging reached Shanhaiguan, "weeping for the six armies", and my father and other Korean soldiers in the army were crying bitterly. Later, Wu Sangui used the excuse of using the Qing prisoner's army to repay the emperor's revenge, although his father and others were opposed, but they still fought desperately with the thieves, but the ambition of the Qing captives and wolves, after entering the customs, they intended to seize China, and at this time the Son of Heaven died! As a citizen of the Ming Dynasty, who else can my father fight for? What's more, Wu Sangui, the chief military officer, has shaved his head and surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, and he wants to be Hulu's pawn and attack the state of his parents, and his father can't help him to abuse? Because, my father and friends all chose to be deserters, and they went to the former emperor Ling before returning to China. In addition to grief, I remembered the kindness of the Ming Dynasty to my Korea, and my father finally committed suicide to think that he was martyred......"
When tears slipped from his eyes uncontrollably, Cui Muhua's voice trembled slightly, and his shoulders twitched. Listening to Cui Muhua's narration, Zhu Mingzhong just nodded silently, the North Korean named "Muhua" in front of him is difficult to coincide with the disgusting Goryeo stick in later generations.
The Koreans of this era admired the Ming Dynasty from the bottom of their bones. After Korea was forced to surrender to the Qing Dynasty, it was forced to send troops to help the war, and as a result, from the general army to the soldiers, they were all loyal to the Ming Dynasty. They often only fired empty guns and arrows at the Ming army, and the Qing army immediately interrogated them severely after discovering them. And the North Korean soldiers are all righteous and awe-inspiring words:
"As a small gang, how can we make a big mistake with a small crime, and commit a crime with the state of our parents!" As a result, all these North Korean soldiers were killed, and they were able to become "Ming ghosts". North Korean soldiers even managed to sink dozens of ships carrying military rice so as not to finance the captives.
This kind of unbelievable emotion is incomprehensible even to the Koreans themselves in later generations, and even "ashamed", but for Zhu Mingzhong in this era, what he feels is a kind of pride, the pride of being a Chinese!
It's a pity that all this was ruined by the Manchus in the end!
Now, all this will inevitably continue, so that the North Koreans will continue to be willing to "be a ghost".
"The time is poor, and one by one! The loyalty of Ling Zun and the righteous men of North Korea is really singable and crying. When he is in the Ming Dynasty and the emperor returns to Beijing, this official will definitely ask for orders for Ling Zun and the loyal and righteous people of Korea, and ask the emperor to reward their righteous deeds. When the time comes, the spirit of Ling Zun will be invited to the Martyrs' Shrine, and the embassy will compile a biography for it......"
Not to mention the verbal reward, for Zhu Mingzhong, who believes in "imperialism" in his bones, once the world is calm, he will not only ask for a decree to commend the righteous men of North Korea, but also ask for the purpose of building a "loyal memorial arch" for these righteous men in North Korea, erect a monument for them, enjoy the loyalty and martyrs, and compile it into the history of the country.
And all this, of course, is to commend their righteous deeds, and more importantly, only in this way can the North Koreans take these righteous people as an example, learn from them, learn their "spirit of the Ming Dynasty first and then Korea", learn their consciousness of "being willing to be a Ming ghost", and finally, let them happily shout "Rather be a Ming dog than a North Korean".
The power of example is endless!
Enter the martyrs' shrine and the national embassy to compile a biography!
Cui Muhua was stunned here, he didn't expect Jingluo to treat the people of Xia Bang so kindly, the tears suddenly fell like rain, and he hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed,
"When the Chinese state treats the officials of the small state so kindly, so that the villain is frightened, he can only follow the law of his ancestors, and repay China and the Ming Dynasty with death. Only ask the scripture to make the villain a loyal martyr, and the villain will be allowed to join the loyal army to repay the kindness of the Chinese state......"
At this time, Cui Muhua's whole person was moved by Zhu Mingzhong's words, so that he was so excited that he couldn't even help himself when he wanted to become a pawn in the loyal army immediately, so as to serve Daming like his father, Zhu Mingzhong said with a smile.
"If you want to work for the Ming Dynasty, you don't necessarily have to follow Father Er's example, you can also serve the Ming Dynasty in North Korea, what's more, Cui Envoy sent you south precisely to regain contact, if you don't return to North Korea, how can you restore your life?"
Standing up, walking to Cui Muhua's side, and reaching out to help him, Zhu Mingzhong looked at Cui Muhua, whose face was full of tears and the whole person was completely immersed in emotion, and continued.
"Besides, this official has another matter, I need you to help this official in North Korea, this matter is not only related to my Ming Dynasty, but also related to whether I can defeat and clear the captives, but this matter may be a little difficult to handle, I don't know if you are willing to help this official handle this matter?"
Before Zhu Mingzhong's words fell, Cui Muhua had already nodded and said.
"But if the heavenly official has an order, even if the villain is broken to pieces, he will definitely help the heavenly official get what he wants!"
"Broken bones?"
Looking at Cui Muhua, who was eager to repay immediately, Zhu Mingzhong smiled.
"It's not necessary to break your bones, keep your good body, and serve the Ming Dynasty, although this matter is a little difficult, but if you do it, it will be the official to send you a wealth and wealth, so that you can also comfort your father's spirit in the sky."
