Chapter 133: Unifying Thoughts
"I can't imagine that so many people in my Red Flower Society have a common enmity with the Tartars." Coming out of the classroom, Lu Feiqing said with emotion, "When I was a child, I always heard my ancestor say that Wudang Mountain had a lot less incense than in the previous dynasty, and the days were not as good as day by day, but now it seems that compared with these people, the life on the mountain is better." ”
Hearing Lu Feiqing say the words "I have a safflower club", Chen Jialuo felt a little relieved in his heart, but he didn't think much of what he said, in the Ming Dynasty, Wudang Mountain was a royal Taoist temple, and Wudang was in charge of the imperial court canonization, and from time to time mobilized manpower to build Taoist temples and reward money, grain and land; In the Qing Dynasty, because the Zhenwu Emperor enshrined in Wudang was the patron saint of the Ming Dynasty, after the Qing Dynasty entered the Central Plains, it deliberately belittled Zhenwu and greatly reduced the specifications and etiquette of its sacrifices. Wudang has enjoyed two hundred years of prosperous incense, and it should be in decline, even if he wins the world, he will not give them the same treatment as the Ming Dynasty, at most send people to cultivate Taoist temples, and let them play tourism by themselves. After having dinner with Sister Huo Qingtong, Chen Jialuo went back to his room and began to prepare tomorrow's lesson plan.
Early the next morning, he came to the classroom and began to expound his views according to what he said yesterday, some said that corrupt officials and corrupt officials were rampant, some said that local tyrants and inferior gentry were lawless, and some said that the court was harsh in government; These answers were not beyond Chen Jialuo's expectations, and after listening to them for a while, seeing that no one said the answers they wanted, Chen Jialuo knocked on the table, and after everyone quieted down, he said, "All brothers are right, but they are all too shallow, to say that corrupt officials, local tyrants and inferior gentry have these in any dynasty and generation, and it is not the fundamental reason for us to rebel." ”
After Chen Jialuo finished speaking, the people below frowned and began to think, and some of the scholars vaguely seemed to be aware of something, and thoughtfully raised their eyes to look through the window at a place in Hangzhou City; Estimating that they were almost thinking about it, Chen Jialuo walked to the window and stretched out his hand to point in the direction where the few scholars were looking, "Who of you knows where and where?" ”
Everyone turned their heads in the direction pointed by Chen Jialuo with an uproar, and after a while, a Hangzhou accent replied tentatively, "Chief helmsman, there is a full city!" It's where the flag people live! ”
"Hmm!" Chen Jialuo nodded and returned to the podium, "There are places like this in many cities across the country. Where else have you seen it besides Hangzhou? ”
"Eh, Xi'an also has it!" , a person with a Shaanxi accent replied, "When I went to Xi'an for the first time, I saw that there was a circle of fenced houses in the middle of the city, and I didn't know what it was for. Later, I heard that it was said that it was where the flag men lived! ”
"We also have it in Nanjing!"
"Fuzhou also has it!"
"And Jingzhou!"
“”
The names of cities were reported in various accents below, and when the voice gradually fell, Chen Jialuo slapped the table, pointed to the direction of the city, and said, "These places are the reason why I can't survive and am forced to rebel!" There are more than one million people in the country, they are not engaged in agriculture, industry, and commerce, and they all rely on us and other Han people to worship! Each Manchurian soldier is paid a total of 84 taels of silver, rice, horse dry and other silver, 3 cents and 3 cents, and now a Qipin Zhixian is just 45 taels of silver and 22 stones and 5 buckets of rice every year. Chen Jialuo secretly changed the concept at this time, first, the number of Manchurian bannermen is the top secret of the imperial court, and the so-called million is just a casual statement; The second general's salary and the county's salary must actually be slightly biased, after all, I don't have Hai Rui in the Qing Dynasty, and I don't have that county magistrate who lives on it.
But except for those few scholars, ordinary people will think of so much, thinking of the majestic appearance of the county lord at home, and then thinking about the people of the world to support millions of county lords, the scene suddenly exploded, "No wonder the lieutenant is desperately squeezing us every year, it turns out that they are all used to support these flag people!" ”
Chen Jialuo stretched out his hand to stop the hustle and bustle at the scene, "Now the court talks about the Manchu and Han families, but now the Manchus live in the city, and we and other Han people will be whipped if they want to enter the city; Moreover, there can be no intermarriage between Manchu and Han, Han men who want to marry girls from Manchu families must carry the flag unless they carry the flag, and the daughters of Han families can only be small when they marry into Manchu families, and their children are bullied. Chen Jialuo looked at the scholars, "I and other Han people who want to be officials must participate in the scientific examination, but the Manchu people don't need it, the status of the Manchu people in the same position is above the Han people, you see if the Hangzhou prefect dares to take care of the affairs of the city?" ”
Although Chen Jialuo wants to set off a revolution in which an industrial society replaces an agrarian society, in the current environment, it may not be time to put forward such a viewpoint, and now the only way to use national contradictions to stimulate the fighting spirit of the congregation and unify their thinking is to use the national contradictions. As for the matter of industrial society, it is still in Fuding, and it will be said after Gao Zhisi and Yang Dewang and others establish a modern factory.
This strategy really worked, and today all day long the crowd was passionately talking about all kinds of injustices between the Manchus and Hans, and one by one the congregations came up with examples of their own oppression by the Manchus to share with you. Even Xiang Zhenhua was pondering below, if there were no people in the court, how many seats should be vacated for them to read! Thinking about the superior status of scholars in the Song and Ming dynasties and the tradition of emperors and scholars ruling the world together, his mind to denounce the Red Flower Society was slightly shaken.
In the next three days, Chen Jialuo started from ** Hachi, and counted all kinds of crimes committed since the establishment of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, such as "Yangzhou Ten Days", "Jiading Three Massacres", "Guangzhou Massacre", "Sea Ban" and ** and other events were carefully said by him, for fear of exaggerating the ferocity of the Tartars and causing the fear of the congregation, he also talked about the historical facts such as Li Dingguo's two famous kings and Zheng Chenggong's recovery of Jinxia, and finally brought Huo Qingtong's defeat of Zhaohui to say, "Now the Tartars have lived a comfortable life for more than a hundred years, It's long been the tiger and wolf army when you entered the customs, even a woman can lead troops to defeat them, aren't you even as good as a woman? ”
After exposing the shady scenes and building confidence, the thoughts of the people of the Red Flower Society were initially unified, and the hatred of the people towards the Tartars deepened day by day, and the prospects for the rebellion gradually became optimistic. Chen Jialuo also brushed down a group of less resolute congregations by observation. After a few days, Xin Yan, Shi Shuangying and others also arrived in Hangzhou, and it was time for them to leave for Fuding. So Chen Jialuo arranged for these students to go to Fuding in batches, while he waited to take up his post with Xinyan.
Ahem, these two chapters are a little dry, and then I'll start farming right away.
