Chapter 380: Tongcheng Rebellion
After all, Abukai is alone, and he was taken down before he reached the door of Heshen's house, and after taking it, he scolded more than once, and Heshen figured out the reason for the matter and killed him decisively, and reported a madman who was drunk and made trouble and was killed on the spot.
This incident is not only such a thing, the family business of the Manchurian officers who came back this time was more or less swallowed up, they are all the pillars of the family, and the sky of the family collapsed after falling to the enemy, plus the Fu Heng family was also attacked by the ministers at this time and was unable to protect them, so many people who had a gap with them in the past or simply looked at their family business started one after another, so when they returned home, they saw the dilapidated appearance of the family business.
This made many people who rushed back in high spirits feel quite uncomfortable, they worked hard for the court on the battlefield, but when they came back, they found that their family property had been encroached upon by others, which made some people think strangely. In addition, Prince Zhuang's family of people and horses were connected everywhere in Beijing, and soon someone was eyeing them.
When the army drove to Taiyuan, these people were quickly sent to the city wall, and after a few days of fighting, suddenly a Manchurian officer tried to open the city gate at night to welcome Prince Zhuang into the city, but fortunately found it in time, and kept the city gate after a dead battle. This aroused the vigilance of the Taiyuan guards, and they immediately screened the repatriated Manchu prisoners, and one after another the repatriated officers who finally returned to the north lost their lives.
Just when the Qing court and Prince Zhuang were at a stalemate in Taiyuan, the Chinese side also encountered some trouble. Although the reputation of Tongcheng in Anhui Province is not prominent in later generations, it is now the place where the literary style is at its peak, although the bud above the literature has died, but Liu Dazhu and Yao Nai have been famous all over the world, and there have been prime ministers like Zhang Tingyu in the officialdom, Zhang Tingyu has now died, but his son is still active in the court. In this place where Confucianism flourished, some of the policies of the Red Flower Society were resisted.
"Headmaster. Two more students are not coming to class today! Fang Yan, a Chinese studies teacher at Tongcheng Middle School, frowned and reported to the principal Lu Chaoge, "So far, half of the students in my class have been missing!" ”
"Did you make it clear what's going on?" Although Brother Lu Chao asked questions, he had already guessed the reason for their withdrawal in his heart.
"It's not those sour literati who are doing it!" , Fang Yan said angrily. "They always say behind their backs that our school doesn't teach Confucianism and poetry, and when the time comes, these students won't be able to become officials in the imperial examination, so what's the use of learning?"
"It's like if they can become officials if they teach Confucianism and poetry!" , Physics teacher Tang Cheng said disdainfully, "If we want to be an official in China now, we have to pass the civil service examination, and this civil service examination does not test poetry or Confucianism, they want to rely on Confucianism to be an official, do they want to be an official of our China or an official of the Qing court!" ”
"I think they want the imperial court to continue to use the imperial examination to record officials. Haven't you seen that literati from all over the world have been writing letters recently, asking us to reopen the imperial examination in China to show the emperor's grace! Fang Yan sighed and said, "This article by Liu Dazhu and others is indeed very well written, but how much does this literary way have to do with governing the country?" If he wants to be an official, can he take the civil service exam in the propaganda department? You see that Yuan Mei is not doing well in "Jinling Daily" now, and he is sitting in the position of deputy editor-in-chief! ”
"Hehe, Yuan Mei has come to the end of sitting until the deputy editor-in-chief! If he wants to be promoted again, he can only change departments! Lu Chaoge saw that everyone showed puzzled looks, so he slowly explained. What is a newspaper? Mr. Chen said that this is an important place to guide public opinion, and it must be in our hands. This Yuan Mei is an old literati after all, his ideas are different from ours, he can only use his literary brilliance but not his thoughts, if these old-style literati occupy the top level, the propaganda department will be in chaos! ”
Speaking of this, Brother Lu Chao remembered that after the chief helmsman said this, he seemed to mutter, if it weren't for this reason. Why does the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television always play braids all day long? He couldn't understand the words of the chief helmsman.
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about that, now let's talk about what to do!" , Brother Lu Chao hurriedly pulled the topic back, "The middle school in the entire Anhui." Our school has the highest dropout rate, and if you don't think about it, I'm afraid this school will be empty! ”
"I want to arrest all those who instigated to drop out of school!" , Tang Cheng slapped the table and shouted.
"These people are all from scholarly families, and they are highly respected in the local area, and if there is no suitable reason, I am afraid that it will provoke a civil uprising!" , Brother Lu Chao shook his head and said, "Have you finished the family composition analysis of these dropout students?" ”
"It's already done!" , Fang Yan flipped through the book and found a form and read, "At present, there are a total of eighty-seven students who have dropped out of school, of which forty-three people in their families have been famous for their talents, accounting for more than half; Thirty-two people came from small landlord families; Twelve people from a big landlord family! They are all students from good families, and they will never drop out of school for financial reasons! ”
"Oh? What are the origins of the rest of the students? Lu Chaoge then asked.
"Among the remaining students, there are those who are from small officials in the yamen, some are from merchant families, some are from handicraft families, and most of them are from urban families, and of course, some of them are from poor families in the countryside, and they can't find any other place to study without our school, so none of them left." , Fang Yan continued to answer.
"In this way, it is clear that this time it is the old-style literati who challenge us, trying to get the imperial court to reopen the imperial examination, and still use the eight shares to take scholars, so that they can continue to rely on the cultural inheritance of their families to obtain official positions!" , Brother Lu Chao concluded, "Dropping out of school may be just a temptation, and they must have other means next!" ”
"In this case, our school may be in danger, so I will go and talk to the prefect and ask him to send someone to protect the school." , Tang Cheng immediately stood up and said.
"It's not enough to send people to protect you, you also need to find out who is standing behind and carrying out the conspiracy!" , It is not the tradition of the Red Flower Society to sit and wait for the enemy to come to the door, and Brother Lu Chao also got up, "I'll go with you!" ”
When they arrived at the Tongcheng City Government, the two of them soon saw the current Tongcheng prefect Jiang Longtan, Jiang Longtan and Lu Chaoge were both from Jingshi University, Jiang Longtan was several levels higher than Lu Chaoge, and the two of them had met a few times in school, so they didn't get to the point without much politeness.
"Not only your school, but now the shops in the city controlled by several major families in Tongcheng also have plans to disrupt the market, and the working groups in the countryside have also been ambushed repeatedly, this opposition force in Tongcheng is very stubborn!" , Jiang Longtan slapped the table and said, "I think it won't be long before there will be a big mess in Tongcheng!"
