Chapter 520: Book Burning and Confucianism

Li Laiheng's resignation and the first emperor's youngest son, Zhu Cihuan, was crowned King of Liang......

Well, it's the King of Cool.

After all, this place in the Western Regions is special, and there has never been a king of the Western Regions since ancient times, and the only one who can get along with it is King Liang, but Li Shimin and his ancestors' Western Liang have also arrived in Yiwu. At that time, Yiwu was Hami, and it was there that the Li family surrendered to the Northern Wei Dynasty, but it was not Li Shimin's branch, so it was barely reasonable to give Zhu Cihuan a Liang King.

In short, no one cares about these things.

There was no accident at the Four People's Congress, they agreed happily, and they were all thrown into the Western Regions, can those representatives of the Four Peoples still be happy?

Land is not given by the imperial court.

And they are also very happy about the division of the territory of King Ding, Her Majesty Girl, the younger brother of a compatriot, was sealed to Shuozhou, and all the original jurisdiction of Shuozhou was attributed to King Ding. Anyway, there was no one there, and after Li Zicheng washed the Jiang family in blood, he forcibly took away all the people outside Yanmen Pass, and then this land was given to the Mongols as a pastoral area by Dolgon. After the Mongol tribes were surrendered one after another, and according to the empress's will, they withdrew to their respective pastoral areas north of Yinshan Daqingshan, and this area directly became a no-man's land. Only the Ming army was stationed in Datong, Xuanhua and other major military towns, but the population was almost zero, at most there were some militia stations along the road, and the real restoration of cultivation did not begin.

Nobody likes to go there.

Li Zicheng's commune has been changed to Huangzhuang, and people live a comfortable life, who has the leisure to go there to open up wasteland? Even if Huangzhuang has a large population and needs to expand the scope of cultivation, at this time, there is still a large amount of uncultivated wasteland in Guanzhong and Jinzhong.

It's not Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

Because Jiangsu and Zhejiang have nothing to cultivate, they must find another way.

But what they have there is.

In the past, these lands were not worth much, and it was difficult to harvest without irrigation, but with the better climate and the spread of corn and sweet potatoes, these dry fields can also feed the population, and some people will not run further north.

And all parts of Hebei are also in the land reform, to complete a Huangzhuang, there will be no immigrants willing to go to Xuanda, this place to leave people with too deep memory, when Datong was seven or eight two stone meters, not forced to helpless, who likes to go to these places to live! This kind of place that can be called a no-man's land is not distressed by how many Simin conferences are sealed, let alone just one Shuozhou, it doesn't matter if the Datong Mansion is given to Zhu Cijiong.

However......

They don't know what the potatoes that Yang Qing is breeding mean to these places.

In this way, two of the empress's three brothers were granted fiefdoms.

There are still the former emperors left.

The current title should be Zhu Shuren.

Although the empress granted amnesty to the world and has turned Zhu Cihong from a criminal to a prisoner and released after completing his sentence, he is still only a commoner, and he has not really gained any freedom, he has to continue to stay in a small courtyard that supervises him for the time being, although he can occasionally go out for a walk, but the question is who dares to walk around with him?

In fact, people are almost forgetting about him.

And his planned fiefdom of Hawaii is still being cleaned up......

A fleet of the Beiyang Naval Division has already rushed to do the final cleanup, although due to the torture of various infectious diseases, the death rate of the Hawaiian islands is more than 80 percent, but after all, there are still more than 100 percent, and these also need to be cleared by force. Fortunately, their infectious diseases are common diseases in the Ming Dynasty, and there will be no embarrassment that their own people will be put down in the process of conquest, in short, there will be two years at most, and the Zhu Shu people will be able to become the island owner. Equip him with thousands of soldiers and a small fleet to be supervised, and the rest of the natives are slaves, whipped and worked when to consume and pull down, in short, Zhu Cihong can happily face the sea in Hawaii.

And the Ming also had Pearl Harbor.

It is said that the protector of the country has taken great pains for his uncles and brothers, and has tried his best to let them spend the rest of their lives in pig raising.

Of course, no one cares about the in his house.

At this time, the people of the Ming Dynasty were staring wide-eyed, watching the ultimate decisive battle between him and the gentry!

Huguang Guild Hall.

"Er Nong's virtuous nephew, this matter is not only a conflict of interests, but also a matter of Confucianism!"

An old man with a northern accent stroked his beard and said to Wang Fuzhi with a serious face.

"Please teach Zhong Yuangong!"

Wang Fuzhi bowed his head respectfully and said.

This is Sun Qifeng, the Northern Confucian master.

Absolute Confucianism.

However, during the occupation of the Qing army, he was very clever as a hermit and lecturing in his hometown, so although many of his students became the pillars of the Qing Dynasty and became ghosts under the Ming saber one by one, he himself escaped the liquidation of traitors. Of course, it was also the officials sent to the north to be in charge of the liquidation of traitors who deliberately ignored it, and since Yang Qing did not specifically name him, then of course they had to find ways to protect this kind of clan-level patriarch of Northern Confucianism. His status in Confucianism in the north is almost equivalent to Liu Zongzhou in the south, and in the final analysis, the current civil officials of the Ming Dynasty are still from Confucianism, and it is impossible to really attack this kind of person who can be said to be responsible for the inheritance of Taoism.

This is the preacher.

Nothing that ruins them cannot be destroyed.

Wang Fuzhi also had to treat him as a superior, in fact, the latter's status in Confucianism was more respected than his father.

"Is Yang Qing a Confucian?"

Sun Qifeng said.

"It's not."

Wang Fuzhi replied very frankly.

"So how did he treat Confucianism?"

Sun Qifeng said.

"This, I can't say it's good, but I can't say it's hostile, Yang Qing is a martial minister, and it's hard to say what he believes, in fact, he can't say anything even about the current Taoism. He attaches great importance to the legal system, and if we talk about it in this way, he is more like a Legalist, but it is difficult to say that he is a Legalist. ”

Wang Fuzhi said.

Of course, Yang Qing is not a Confucian, which is well known to everyone, and he has even openly advocated the contention of a hundred schools of thought many times, but he has no special performance towards Confucianism, and he can also maintain a superficial respect for Yan Shenggong.

The latter remained a duke.

All treatment is according to the duke, enjoying a fief of 10,000 acres, of course, Yan Sheng Gong doesn't care, people don't lack that bit of land.

Besides, Yang Qing divided his fief into Qufu.

As for Yang Feng, the thief of Nishan......

In fact, everyone understands in their hearts that without Chongzhen's acquiescence, Yang Qing would not have the courage to do that, to put it bluntly, Chongzhen is just worried about the property of Kong Yinzhi's family. In other words, Kong Yinzhi is not a good thing, Li Zicheng is still hundreds of miles away, he has already put out the brand of the Son of Heaven of Dashun for thousands of years, and Chongzhen is not unaware. Chongzhen Nandu must not leave a Yan Shenggong to Li Zicheng as a tablet to put up, Kong Yinzhi either learned from the Northern Song Dynasty and dressed Nandu, or he has to die, after all, if he dies, Chongzhen can seal the Confucian family in Quzhou. To put it bluntly, Kong Yinzhi's death is inevitable, the only accident is that Chongzhen suddenly kills decisively, and he uses a ruthless thug to directly destroy people.

But this thug himself should not have any special feelings for the Kong family.

It's nothing more than trying to grab money.

After the southern crossing, Yang Qing at least often talked about Confucius, although he often misinterpreted the books of the sages, but at least he did not see that he had a performance against Confucianism to destroy his Taoism.

He has a lot of Confucian students under his own command!

Who dares to say that Gu Jiang, Chen Zilong, and Du Yinxi are not Confucian students?

"You still don't know who he is!"

Sun Qifeng sighed.

"Then ask the old man again, how did he kill Li Zicheng?"

He said.

Wang Fuzhi was speechless.

He used his time, with his advantage that he was far younger than Li Zicheng, he really didn't have the confidence to easily solve these separatists, and it was still unpredictable whether he would win or lose between him and Li Zicheng, at least Li Zicheng wanted to defend the territory of Guanzhong, and he was helpless. Then he will use his greatest advantage, he is younger than Li Zicheng and stronger than Li Zicheng, the latter will inevitably die in front of him, as long as Li Zicheng dies, the remaining Li Zicheng's subordinates will be easily solved by coercion and temptation. Li Zicheng was helpless, he knew this, and in the end, in order to prevent the Li family from being swallowed up by civil strife after his death, he simply raided the northern capital to show favor to Yang Qing in exchange for the glory and wealth of the Li family. ”

Sun Qifeng said.

Wang Fuzhi nodded silently.

"And what did he use to deal with Dorgon?"

Sun Qifeng said.

Wang Fuzhi continued to be silent.

"With money, or with his word economy."

Sun Qifeng said.

"He used the economy to trap Dolgon, and the once brave and invincible Eight Banners were so hungry that they mutinied for food, and the Eight Banners Han Army and North Korea competed to surrender to my Ming Dynasty, just like those guards in Liaodong back then. He used propaganda to kill King Gui, forced King Jingjiang to death with land reform, trapped the Jiangnan gentry with Huangzhuang, and also used time to slowly boil Zhang Xianzhong to death. His victory is just around the corner, Zhang Xianzhong is already bedridden, Sun Kewang and Li Dingguo cannot stand side by side, and as soon as Zhang Xianzhong dies, Sichuan will immediately fall apart. Yang Qing is an invincible general, but if you look at what he has done over the years, you will find that unless there is no other choice, he never likes to use force, he will always choose means other than force.

So what kind of means do you think he will use to destroy Confucianism? ”

Sun Qisuan said.

Wang Fuzhi was still silent.

"Quite simply, education, with those primary schools in every Zhuangzi, and it is said that in every county's middle school, in every province's university, with his compulsory education system.

Because the textbooks are uniform.

His Kunxing Academy is responsible for compiling textbooks for schools at all levels, formulating examination questions, and training teachers, and those students of Kunxing College who are educated by Yang Qing and are all about astronomy, geography, history and science will teach the next generation, but they will not teach the books of sages. As far as I know, there are even teachers he trained who openly slander Confucius in class, so will the students taught by such people continue to respect Confucianism?

I went to the primary school in the northern land reform area.

No one taught the Four Books and the Five Classics, and no one taught the Tao of Confucius and Mencius.

It's terrible!

The depth of this man's scheming is terrifying.

He's exterminating Confucianism.

But just as he destroyed those opponents, not by force, nor overnight, he used his young growth to slowly and little by little destroy Confucianism.

He could afford to wait.

Like a drop of ink poured into clear water, he gradually spread outward, destroying Confucianism step by step, and now we can still say that Confucianism is still orthodox, but twenty years later, this generation will not grow up. Thirty years later, Confucianism has been kicked aside, and fifty years later, Confucianism will probably be left with only a few old antiques.

He is a victor again.

He will live to see the destruction of Confucianism.

Destroyed by him. ”

Sun Qifeng said.

I have to say that this old guy is really vigilant, he will actually run to visit Huangzhuang Primary School.

In fact, although Yang Qing's compulsory education system has been established in many places, it is still not enough to arouse the alarm of Confucianism, after all, because of the time problem, most of them are still only elementary schools. His primary school is a five-year system, and until now, except for those in Kunxing College, the first batch of middle school students outside has not yet been born, and what is taught in primary school is nothing more than elementary literacy textbooks, and there are hundreds of family names and the like. Then there is the elementary scientific knowledge of astronomy, geography and history, but because of the limitation of the number of imperial villages, the current folk are still based on the system of private schools and academies.

After all, Huangzhuang is not everywhere.

Moreover, compulsory education has not really been completed in the Huangzhuang system, which requires a lot of investment every year.

Therefore, in terms of education, the two systems coexist.

Although the compulsory education system has risen, it is still too early to say that it overwhelms the private school and academy system, and the latter is also developing, because the money is not bad and even increasing, especially the major academies, including Donglin, are like universities.

But......

What is the basis of the private school and seowon system?

"Continuing the Confucian Taoist system, only those private schools and academies based on the gentry, if the Gongtian Law is implemented, will the gentry still exist? The gentry did not exist, did those private schools and seowon still exist? If the whole country becomes an imperial village, compulsory education is universalized, and all Mongolian children read Yang Qing's textbooks and are trained by Yang Qing, then can Confucianism exist? Or where does Confucianism go to exist? It is not the landlords who destroy the Gongtian Law, but the thousand-year-old inheritance of Confucianism, and the way of the sages!

This demon is using the Gongtian method, just like he solved the division of the heroes, and used non-military means to destroy our Confucianism!

It is true that he cannot openly destroy Confucianism.

Because you are all here, including the cabinet ministers, you are all Confucian disciples, and you will not allow him to do this, and if he dares to destroy Confucianism, you will not sit idly by, and the entire court, all the civil officials in the world, will not sit idly by. He understands this, and he won't do that, so his generation won't do anything to Confucianism while they're still alive. Just like Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong are alive, he will not touch the territory of these two, but can you survive him? He boiled Li Zicheng to death, and he was about to boil Zhang Xianzhong to death, and then he only needed to spend another fifty years to boil to death those of you who hindered him from destroying Confucianism.

He used the Gongtian method to solve the gentry, destroyed the foundation of the existence of private schools and academies, used compulsory education to cultivate the next generation who did not belong to Confucianism at all, and used time to destroy you, the backbone of Confucianism, and completely completed the purge of Confucianism from top to bottom.

Fifty years later, he will destroy the Confucian Temple, burn the Confucian classics, burn the books again, and no one will remember Confucianism in a hundred years. ”

Sun Qifeng said excitedly.
