When the Ming Dynasty came to the Hongguang Dynasty, it was already in a state of turmoil, because Ma Ruan was in power, and the land south of the Yangtze River was the base camp of Donglin, so the gentry had a lot of criticism about what the Hongguang Dynasty did.

Since the late Ming Dynasty, the economy of Jiangnan has developed, humanistic ideas have risen, and there has even appeared Li Zhen, who criticized Confucianism and was the representative of the merchant class.

At that time, some scholars still insisted on loyalty, filial piety, and righteousness, and some people thought about the relationship between the monarch and the ministers, and between the monarch and the people.

The traditional Confucian culture of the Ming Dynasty talked about "learning to become a scholar, martial arts, and the emperor's family", but now a small number of people feel that the dark monarch of the imperial court is mediocre, so I will resign and return to my hometown, and choose not to be a scholar, which is somewhat different from the Confucian idea of governing the country through the world, and it seems to be traced back to the pre-Qin era, Mencius said: "The king regards the minister as a mustard, and the minister regards the king as an enemy."

Such words can be said in the pre-Qin period, but since the Han Dynasty, they cannot be said casually.

Re-examining the relationship between the monarch and the minister, and even the relationship between the monarch and the country and the world, this is the humanist trend that emerged in the late Ming Dynasty and the Renaissance of the East.

The scholars began to question the monarchy, and the impact of various schools of thought inevitably made the gentry class very confused in their thinking.

Before the Qing army moved south, many people already felt the danger of the overturning of the state, and when Lu Yunlong, a man of the time, talked with someone about current affairs, he once said: "It seems that it is going to be defeated." ”

In their opinion, perhaps the Manchu Qing Dynasty came here, but it was just a change of dynasty, more like the Northern Wei Dynasty, Liao, Jin, even if they occupied the Central Plains, they still had to practice Chinese law, learn Chinese characters, run imperial examinations, and finally completely sinicize.

The ideological changes and conflicts made some people not overly value the matter of loyalty to the monarch, so when the Hongguang court suddenly collapsed, the land south of the Yangtze River did not resist too fiercely.

In desperation, some civil and military officials defected to the Qing court in an attempt to ensure their own or their family's vested interests, while others chose to adhere to traditional Confucian teachings and maintain their own reputation.

At the time of the Manchu invasion, it was a time when the Ming gentry were confused, and chaos meant the dispersion of power.

After the fall of the southern capital, a group of scholars died, and the highest official position was the scholar of Dongge University, Gao Hongtu, after which the shaving order was issued, and the other part suddenly realized that the Manchu Qing was not the Northern Wei Xiaowen, not Liao, Jin, and the Manchu Qing did not intend to integrate into China at all.

Dressed in well-dressed clothes, the belief of the nation, some of the gentry who felt that the Ming Dynasty was not very good, also stood up at this time, and did not hesitate to protect the clothes of the Han family with their flesh and blood.

The people in Jiangnan were unwilling to shave their hair, and a large number of gentry died, among which Jiading and Jiangyin were the most.

Among the gentry in Jiangnan, there was also a group of people who had shaved their hair and surrendered to the Qing court, and he surrendered to the Qing court in order to protect his vested interests or other plans.

At first, most of them thought that after surrendering to the Manchus, they would be able to gain glory and wealth, and that their talents would still be able to be displayed in the new court, but they soon found that things were simply different from what they had thought.

After the Qing Dynasty ruled Jiangnan, there were many scholars in Jiangnan who regarded themselves as "remnants", and among them there were probably only those who did not shave their heads, but their political tendencies were also anti-Qing and Mingming.

Among the officials who surrendered to the Qing court, there were also many people who were so complicated, and they soon discovered that in the Ming Dynasty, they could raise different opinions, scold the emperor, and scold the ministers, but in the Qing Dynasty, they could only "master Shengming", "slaves obey orders", and "slaves should die".

What I could say before, I couldn't speak, I couldn't write what I could write, I couldn't read the books I could read, and I couldn't write the poems I could write.

Some vassals who had illusions about the Qing court only then reacted that the Manchu Qing Dynasty originally wanted to destroy our culture and our thoughts, so they immediately retired again.

Qian Qianyi is undoubtedly the most typical representative of this group, he has been in Beijing for more than half a year, and after he returned, his thinking has changed.

Chen Zilong came to him to raise military salaries, which made him happy and a little frightened, he was happy that the forces of the restoration of the Ming in Jiangnan were willing to accept him as a minister who surrendered on his knees, and he was afraid that once he opposed the Qing court, he would never be able to live comfortably in the future.

Qian Qianyi, a person with Confucian education, has his careful thoughts, but he also has a sense of family and country in his heart.

At that time, he was unwilling in the Qing court, resigned and returned to his hometown, and a large number of protégés and former officials devoted themselves to the cause of resisting the Qing Dynasty.

Qian Qianyi agreed to Chen Zilong's request, but the silver needed for the 20,000 army was not a small amount, and he couldn't take out much silver for a while.

After sending Chen Zilong away, making an appointment with a day and a secret word, and then sending someone to get the silver, Qian Qianyi walked up to the study building alone, he is the leader of Shilin, he is good at ancient books, calligraphy and paintings, and the money at home is not enough, so he can only rely on these things to exchange for some silver.

In the past, Qian Qianyi was the leader of Shilin and the saw of Donglin, but now Donglin has basically disappeared, and his former friends are also angry with him about the surrender of the Qing Dynasty and break with him, he has empty treasures, and it is difficult to sell.

At this time, he suddenly remembered that he had a disciple who, although he was not good at studying, had a lot of money at home.

In fact, the average Confucian will also accept one or two such disciples, after all, Donglin saws also need to support the family, whenever the money in his hand is scarce, he can sell a few pairs of calligraphy and painting to the disciple, he can make a profit, and the rich disciples can also be famous, can be mixed in the flow of celebrities.

When Qian Qianyi took Liu Ruyi, he wanted to build a room for her, but he had no money in his hand, so he sold a painting and calligraphy and gave it to the disciple in exchange for five hundred taels of silver.

At this time, Qian Qianyi was anxious to raise money, but he remembered the disciple again.

The next day, the disciple was invited to the mansion by Qian Qianyi, he looked at a few pairs of Qian Qianyi's calligraphy and paintings, but there was a sneer on his face, only let the subordinate take out fifty taels of silver from the money box, put it on the table, and then deliberately said: "The teacher used to be the leader of Shilin and the leader of the Southeast Alliance, but now he is a notorious sinner, and this calligraphy and painting is worth so much." ”

When Qian Qianyi saw this, and listened to his words, his face immediately became extremely pale, and the shame and indignation in his heart were simply incomprehensible.

If it was before, Qian Qianyi would have blasted him out of the house directly, but now he has been subjected to too much abuse, and he can't find any other place to get money, so he had to endure the humiliation in his heart, and ordered someone to get a few ancient books and a few famous paintings of the Song Dynasty.

After reading it, the disciple smiled slightly, and finally made a price of 10,000 taels of silver to pocket these treasures.

After the transaction was completed, Qian Qianyi was annoyed that he was rude, and he didn't get up to send him off, and the disciple walked to the door, but suddenly turned around and smiled coldly, and then left with his subordinates.

A few days later, the person sent by Chen Zilong to take the silver arrived as promised, Qian Qianyi and he had a secret message, and he was going to hand over the silver, but at this moment, a large number of black-clothed people suddenly came out, surrounded Qian Qianyi's courtyard, and shouted: "Take people at the sticky pole, and those who resist will be killed." ”

When the person who took the silver saw this, he was immediately furious, pointing at Qian Qianyi and scolding.
