This is the core idea of Confucianism, which means that the internal saint must have the talents and virtues of a saint, benevolence and righteousness, and the external implementation of the royal way and education.

As a disciple of Confucianism, Wang Yan naturally understands this, but any kind of thought has always evolved with the times, and changed with it.

Donglu was originally a minister under the rule of the Ming Dynasty, and the court had a lot of favors to the old slaves, but he betrayed the Ming Dynasty, added the swords and soldiers to the old master, slaughtered the Liao people, and brought endless disasters to the entire Han nation.

The enlightenment of benevolence and righteousness, and finally the result of this, required strong reflection on the part of the scholars.

At this time, within the Ming Dynasty, many scholars and generals had the urge to exterminate the clan with the Eastern Captives.

Wang Yan also has some views on the inner and outer kings, he is not as extreme as some scholars, thinking that "Biyidi, do not know the reason, and move the righteousness." ”

He believed that when the imperial court treated its own people, it should have the compassion and compassion of the sages and practice benevolence and righteousness, but it should treat foreign Yidi differently, such as Korea and Ryukyu, which practice Confucianism and write Chinese characters, and think that China is a branch of China, like the son of China, should practice the way of kingship, but for the cunning and treacherous people of Dongyu and Heyi, they should practice the way of overlords.

Although Wang Yan said some strong words this time, he really only said that he would let them cross the river, Wang Yan actually gave them a chance, and those who stayed, Wang Yan basically would not deal with it, but these people still wanted to cross the river to serve the Qing court, let Wang Yan send them across the river by boat, and then they picked up weapons and fought against the Ming army, Wang Yan could not do it anyway.

"Complain with virtue" This is a sentence mentioned by Confucianism, but in fact, after this sentence, Confucius also said another paragraph, "If you complain with virtue, how can you repay virtue?" Repay grievances with straightforwardness, repay virtue with virtue! ”

This is the Confucianism of the Spring and Autumn Period, the most primitive Confucianism, the Western Renaissance, starting from the classics of the ancient Greek sages, the revival of Confucianism in the Ming Dynasty, and also from the re-annotation of the Confucian classics that were distorted by the Song and Ming dynasties.

Benevolence and righteousness should be given to those who know how to be grateful, and like Boluo's generation, I am afraid that they will not be able to understand the benevolence and righteousness of the great powers of the Celestial Empire, and will only feel that Wang Yan's head is caught by the door, not only will he not be grateful, but he will feel that China can be bullied.

On the river beach, there was a commotion among the flag and his family, and Bolo and Lang Tingzo's faces turned pale.

"Isn't Wang Shiheng afraid of losing his trust in the world?" Bolo gritted his teeth, and the two trembled.

Liu Shun waved his hand, and the soldiers behind him came over with a few pieces of wood, "How can Your Highness lose your trust in the world?" Bolo, if you were to rely on this town, you would have been inched by this town today, but Your Highness is merciful, hold the wood, and swim over! ”

Thousands of people, less than ten pieces of wood, the vast majority of people, must not be able to cross the river, but at least so many of them, can return to Jiangbei alive, Wang Yan can also be regarded as fulfilling his promise, did not do things to the end, in the future when the Qing army is in a desperate situation, you can leave a fantasy, there will always be people who are lucky, thinking that they are the dozen or so people, the people who choose to stay, not the vast majority of people drowned in the river.

And more than 100,000 Qing soldiers in Jiangnan, three banners of Han Banners, and hundreds of Manchurian and Mongolian Eight Banners, just a dozen people came back, which can also severely hit the morale of the Qing army in Jiangbei, and more importantly, although there is a line, it deters the cunning Dongyu and makes them afraid.

After Liu Shun finished speaking, he waved his hand again, and the Ming sergeant suddenly burst into shouts, "Cross the river!" Then he pressed towards the river beach with a spear, and thousands of people were immediately panicked, and many people had already knelt on the ground and wept bitterly, but there were also a few Eight Banner soldiers, after looking around for a while, they suddenly rushed out and picked up a piece of wood.

Someone started, and the scene suddenly became chaotic, at this time, there was no reason to let the leader go first.

When Wang Yan spoke, his tone was so strange that they should have noticed it a long time ago, but because they had the mentality that they could get away with crossing the river, they actually hoped that China would be as pedantic as before, and they would talk more about benevolence and righteousness.

Seeing that the people around him had already rushed up, Lang Tingzuo panicked in his heart, and now it was useless to scold Wang Yan, so he immediately pulled Bolo, took out the posture of letting the leader go first, and grabbed a log.

The crowd was soon forced into the river, the Han banner was fine, some Manchus and Mongols sank when they entered the river, and the women and children also struggled for a while, and they were washed away by the river.

A log can float two or three people at most, and now thousands of people are fighting.

People are in the water, struggling desperately, grasping what is what, but whether you are Niu Lu, Jia La, Gushan or Wang Ye, if you catch it, you will never let go, and you will die to the death of the other party.

Bolo and Lang Tingzuo experienced the most terrifying scene in their lives, countless hands reached out to them, wailing and cries for help were devastating, and the two of them were red-eyed, desperately kicking and kicking at the approaching people, holding the log and paddling towards the north of the river.

The scene by the river was like a survival game, with more than 4,000 people competing for more than ten places to survive, and soon the vast majority of them were ruthlessly eliminated within a moment of entering the river.

Some of the hundreds of people who were good at swimming and holding logs continued to row towards the north of the river, Bolo was already very tired, he held the log, motionless, Lang Tingzuo paddled desperately, he was very annoyed that Bolo did not make a force, and even had the urge to kick him into the river.

At this time, not far from them, several people who had no logs and swam for a distance, but those who were really bored suddenly swam to a driftwood with three people floating on it.

On the driftwood is a ringed leopard-eyed man and two manding, full of panic in the water, they should make mistakes, let a few Han flags, also hug the driftwood, but where the driftwood floated so many people, but no one refused to let go, and sank into the water together in a moment.

Lang Tingzuo was full of horror when he saw this, and just happened to see a few people swimming towards them, he couldn't care so much, and immediately kicked Bolo in the water, making him lift his spirits, and said urgently: "Lord Hurry up!" ”

Bolo also saw the people swimming, he reacted, and immediately rowed desperately with Langtinzo, after all, the two of them borrowed driftwood, which was more labor-saving, and struggled to row a distance, and those dogs planed the flags, ending their exhaustion, and sinking into the river in despair one after another.

The sun is setting in the west, and the afterglow is sprinkled on the surface of the river, sparkling, full of golden afterglow, and a few driftwood undulates with the waves on the river surface.

Bolo was pale, and Lang Tingzuo was so tired that he lay motionless on the driftwood like a dead dog.

After a while, Bolo relieved himself, he looked at Jiangbei was already in front of him, seemed to remember something, turned his head to look at Lang Tingzuo who was drifting, and sighed: "Tribulation sees loyalty, you are a good slave, if you go back to this king and not be blamed by the regent, I will definitely treat you well in the future." ”

Lang Tingzuo actually has no bottom about his fate, but he dragged Bolo back, the sky fell, he was high, and Tong Tulai could take the blame, there should be no problem in saving his life, but he felt that Bolo himself was more difficult to pass, but since Bolo said so, he had to thank him.

Although Lang Tingzuo didn't want to move, he still raised his head and was about to thank the prince for cultivating, but this look was so bad that it almost scared him to death.

"It's not good, the prince hurry up and draw~!"

On the riverside, Liu Shun led thousands of soldiers, drove 4,000 bannermen and their families into the river, stood on the riverside and watched, the tragedy of the Qing army, he did not have a sense of guilt, but a sense of happiness.

He always remembers that year, the Qing army broke through the wall and entered, plundered Beizhili, Shandong, the Ming Dynasty general Mangui was killed in battle, and the people of Beizhi and Shandong were captured by the east, his father was killed, his mother committed suicide, and he lost discipline since he was a child, and became a local splasher.

In his opinion, the feudal lord was undoubtedly too merciful.

At this time, he looked at it for a while, and saw that the Qing soldiers who were lucky enough to survive had already drifted across the heart of the river, pressed the war knife, and prepared to turn around and go to Wang Yan to return to his life.

"Duzhen, look, it seems to be Lu Jianguo's ship!" A subordinate general suddenly pointed to the river and said.

Liu Shun turned his head to look, and it was true that on the Dongfang River, nearly 100 big ships were waving the Sun and Moon Flags of the Ming Dynasty and coming in the direction of Nanjing.

Liu Shun clenched the handle of the knife with his hand and frowned slightly, "It's time for them to come." You are here to watch, and this town is going to report to Your Highness. ”

At this time, Wang Yan was in Hong Chengchou's Jiangnan Governor's Mansion, he was sitting in the main hall, and there were a group of dignitaries sitting on both sides, he took a small sip of a teacup in one hand, and a team of soldiers came in with Hong Chengchou wearing handcuffs and anklechains and wearing prison uniforms.

Seeing this, Wang Yan put down the teacup, and everyone also looked at Hong Chengchou.

"What do you have to say today?" 10,000 yuan Ji was auctioned.

"Hong thief, do you have the face to sit on the princes again? Do you have the face to see Yizong in Jiuquan? Gu Yuanjing also stood up and scolded angrily.

A group of old ministers stepped forward and scolded Hong Chengchou, and some even directly pasted spit on his face, making Hong Chengchou embarrassed, but he suddenly laughed out loud.

This made everyone in the hall slightly stunned, Wang Yan, who was sitting in the middle, looked at him, couldn't help frowning, waved his hand to stop the ministers, and then asked in a deep voice: "Hong Chengchou, what are you laughing at?" ”

Hong Chengchou looked at Wang Yan, he knew that he was going to die, and the end would definitely be very miserable, but now he let go, as if he wanted to throw off his arms and fight with everyone.

"How you treat me, how Taizong treats me! I laugh at the Ming Dynasty at the expense of good talents, for more than ten years, the court and the lower monarchs are indecent, the ministers are not decent, the government is controlled by the corrupt Confucian, the mouth is full of cannons, there is no way to govern the country, there are capable ministers to save the country, and there are constraints everywhere. Hong Chengchou sneered: "I was captured in Songshan, Emperor Taizong, how do you treat me, now that I am captured, how will you treat me?" For more than ten years, the Ming Dynasty has really not changed at all. ”

Hong Chengchou is really sophistry, he is a traitor, and he still doesn't let people scold? was also treated politely, and Wan Yuan jumped up angrily, "Hong thief, shut up, until now, you still call the slave chief Taizong, do you trust Emperor Qiyizong?" ”

"Trust? Where does trust come from? In the past seventeen years, fifty ministers instructed their courtiers to do things, and when something happened, they didn't bear any responsibility at all, but the courtiers were in a different place. Such an emperor, who dares to do practical things, why should he be loyal! Hong Chengchou said angrily: "The battle of Songshan, if it weren't for the emperor's urgency, why would I be here." Chongzhen is far worse than Taizong. ”

Hong Chengchou's voice was very loud, and the faces of the ministers in the hall were purple.
