Section 133 Fengtian Cutting and Clearing
When Wang Fuqian heard that Zhou Lang was just going to Liwei, not only did he not object because of this impractical action, but his face flushed with excitement, and he got up directly from the bed and walked around the room quickly.
"Dashuai, the expedition across the sea for 5,000 miles, shaking the coastal states and counties, and finally landing in Beijing, such a momentum is enough to deter the world and stand out from the crowd!"
Wang Fuqian said, his hands were still waving, and he sounded like he was talking to Zhou Lang, but it was more like muttering to himself.
After this incident, the majesty of the Qing court will be lost, and the heroes of the world will rebel. When we ascend to the heights, we will respond in clusters, and great things can be accomplished. ”
Wang Fuqian said, frowned again, and then stretched, as if thinking of something.
"Dashuai, the majesty of the Qing court is swept away, and we also need a righteous name, nothing more than to chase the banner of Hu Xinghan, expel the Tartars, recover China, and collect the hearts of the Han people in the world, we need a letter, Fengtian to seek the clear!"
Wang Fuqian said, stumbling, Zhou Lang's eyes were quick, he held him up, and found that he was hot.
When I touched my forehead, I had a fever.
helped Wang Fuqian to the bed, and found that he couldn't hear him clearly, it was all nonsense?
Busy calling the doctor and his family to take care of it.
Zhou Lang was worried about the health of this important subordinate, and on the other hand, he wondered if what he was talking about just now was nonsense.
Wang Fuqian's attitude changed and was something that Zhou Lang had been waiting for.
When he was in Taiwan, he felt the lack of national identity of the people, so he wanted to establish the national concept of the people, and the way he thought of it was to get rid of Zhu Lian from Japan to find some literati books from the Ming and Qing dynasties, those books were ** in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and it was difficult to find, but a large number of them were preserved in Japan, and even many literati fled to Japan and settled down. Their writings obviously do not identify with the Manchu Dynasty.
The literati who remained in China, those who did not agree with the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and those who dared to speak were all killed in the prison of words, and those who did not dare to speak would not have words left; Those literati who identified with the Manchu Qing Dynasty immediately grasped the right to speak, and after more than a hundred years of packaging, the Manchu Qing Dynasty had long been orthodox.
When it comes to those traitor literati, it really makes people gnash their teeth, and shamelessness simply has no bottom line. A dynasty like the Manchu Qing Dynasty, to be more tolerant, not to mention their alien background, no matter how good it is, it is just an ordinary Chinese dynasty, but under the packaging of shameless literati, they are even greater than previous dynasties.
There are some old traditions in the Chinese dynasty, such as the founder of the most respected status, called Zu, Han Gaozu Liu Bang, Tang Gaozu Li Yuan, Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin, Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang and so on. In their second generation, no matter how good they are, they can only be called Zong, or emperor, Liu Heng, Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty, Li Shimin of Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, Zhao Guangyi of Taizong of the Song Dynasty, Zhu Di of Taizong of the Ming Dynasty, and so on.
But under the packaging of the Manchu literati, in the way of the Central Plains Dynasty, when the dead Manchu emperor was given the temple number, Nurhachi Temple was called Qing Taizu, Shunzhi Shizu, and Kangxi Shengzu, they said that Nurhachi had a pioneering merit, and there was no problem with the ancestors, and they said that the Eight Banners entered the customs during the Shunzhi period, which was similar to creation, and this sycophant was filmed to the end. According to this statement, should Tang Taizong Li Shimin also be called the ancestor, most of the world was beaten down by Li Shimin. Tang Suzong suppressed the Anshi Rebellion, which was equivalent to rebuilding the Tang Dynasty, and he did not dare to claim the ancestor.
Such a ridiculous thing as the three ancestors of one dynasty is still praised by many experts in the 21st century, let alone in the Qing Dynasty.
The common people really thought that the Manchus were all holy lords and benevolent monarchs, which made it countless times more difficult for Zhou Lang to gain the recognition of the people.
It can only be from the end of the Ming Dynasty, when the Manchu Qing Dynasty had entered the customs, but had not yet established an identity, and the scholars of the world were rebelling against them at that time, gaining the spirit of resistance.
Through Zhu Li, Zhou Lang brought back a large number of books from Japan, such as "Survival Record" and "Continued Survival Record" written by Xia Yunyi and Xia Wanchun father and son, "Ten Days in Yangzhou", "Qing Phosphorus Crumbs", "Biography of the Four Kings" and so on.
These books were first handed over to Wang Fuqian to read, Zhou Lang read these books, of course, he felt a bitter hatred for the various atrocities recorded in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but he didn't know the thinking of the current scholars, he was educated in nationalism, and he would have a strong national identity, but these people did not, and their education was based on national consciousness.
After reading it, Wang Fuqian told Zhou Lang that reading it made people feel chest tightness and felt brutal in the Tartars.
But that's all, it's been more than a hundred years of money, and contemporaries can't empathize. Zhou Lang also gave up the illusion that he could induce the people of the world to rebel against the Manchus by basically promoting nationalist books. The identity of a country and a nation cannot be established overnight. In history, when every dynasty fell, there were many people who were willing to die for the country, including the Yuan Dynasty, the Yuan Dynasty treated the Han people's suppression, it should be said that it was more than the Manchu people, but when the Yuan Dynasty fell, there were still Han officials who died for it, and Han generals fought to the end.
The scholars who were martyred in the Song Dynasty always said that the dynasty raised soldiers for three hundred years, and then died for the country.
If Zhou Lang wants to gain the recognition of the people of the world, it must be after the founding of the People's Republic of China, when the next generation grows up, if modern patriotism and other education are added, this process should be accelerated.
During the Republican era, many anti-Qing groups brought back these books from Japan, and it was not without effect, and in the process of circulation, it did inspire some people's anti-Qing thoughts, but that was also the result of decades of circulation. Moreover, the anti-Qing was mainly due to discontent, and these books only gave them a reason to resist, and then gave them the courage to move towards an anti-Qing position, and then their position, in turn, strengthened their hatred of the Manchus.
After reading these books, Wang Fuqian felt strong, in fact, because he had already stood on the anti-Qing position, and he needed various points of view to endorse his position, and these concepts of literati in the late Ming Dynasty provided him with psychological support. So after he read it, he immediately published it in Fujian, but the effect was not obvious.
On the contrary, after the White Lotus uprising, the literati began to stand up and join the shogunate of Wang Fuqian and Zhou Lang, and then began to publish various Manchu and unTaoist denunciation articles, and the sense of justice suddenly exploded, in fact, it was also because of the need to find psychological support for the position after the change of position.
With the change of the general trend, more and more people will change, but only they know whether they see that the Manchu Qing Dynasty is no longer good, and whether Mingzhe protects himself or really stimulates the sense of nationality in his heart.
Anyway, after Zhou Lang found out about these situations, he had already given up fighting with the literati loyal to the Manchu Dynasty, and it was better to directly lead troops to Beijing to brush up on their existence, which would be fatal to them.
However, the necessary tools of public opinion are still needed, which need to be operated by Wang Fuqian, he is the literati of this era, he knows the literati of this era best, and his psychological transformation is very representative of other literati. Zhou Lang didn't know the literati of this era, and he was not good at this kind of propaganda method of pouring dirty water on each other, he used to lead the team, and the method of cohesion was not by smearing the opponent, but by describing the prospects of his career, giving a generous salary, and using positive energy to stimulate the team's fighting spirit.
Wang Fuqian's condition was not serious, and the local famous doctor prescribed him a prescription to clear his heart and go to the fire.
The focus of his work immediately turned to the Northern Expedition plan, and he was not responsible for the military problem, but mainly for civil affairs.
Regarding the supply of grain and grass for the Northern Expedition, Wang Fuqian suggested that taxes should be levied, relying on customs duties and commercial taxes are not enough to support Zhou Lang's military operations for a long time, Fujian has been exempted from money and grain for a year, and now the political situation is stable and the people support it, and it is time to levy taxes.
Zhou Lang agreed not to tax the landlords, only customs duties and commercial taxes, and make money through business, although it could be slowly made up for in the future, but the link between the government and the local government was broken. Asking the landlords to pay for grain was also their petition to the new regime, which meant that they began to accept and support the new regime. Since they have paid the money, they will more or less hope that the regime will win. It's like a small shareholder who doesn't have many shares and wants the stock price to rise.
Because the officials are all locals, after the Fujian officials took refuge in Zhou Lang, Wang Fuqian has restored the local government of Fujian to the level of the Manchu era, but the Manchu Dynasty naturally had a lot of shortcomings, but the new dynasty and new atmosphere, at present, from Zhou Lang to Wang Fuqian and other upper echelons are still more serious, and the shortcomings are not as serious as those in the Manchu Dynasty.
The disadvantages were slightly lighter, but the government of the Manchu Qing Dynasty could only be restored, and there was no operational difficulty in collecting traditional taxes at this time.
Immediately issued a decree, this year's autumn grain Zhao is often collected, and at the same time strictly investigate all kinds of bad rules, hoping that this new atmosphere in the early years of the dynasty can last for a few years, and then Zhou Lang will have enough ability to carry out a thorough reform.
After all, the tax rate in the past in the Qing Dynasty was indeed not high, and the harvest on a piece of land could not be taken away even one-tenth, but the landlord could take half of it, and the tenant farmers took the rest.
The autumn grain is gradually entering the warehouse, and the grain and grass are sufficient, and it is not a problem to support the long-term battle of the 100,000 people under Zhou Lang.
Through Foshan's continuous bringing of various resources from Guangdong to Fujian, mainly strategic materials such as iron, Foshan is like a funnel, his existence, so that the iron ore resources of the entire Guangdong are concentrated here, and it is extremely convenient to procure, and a large number of iron materials enter the Fuzhou Arsenal from Foshan.
Although Foshan purchased finished iron, but because of various problems, it has to go through the furnace, with a higher blast furnace, higher furnace temperature, cleaner coking coal, after re-smelting, the iron quality is greatly improved, can be used to cast British cannons, the current casting of large-caliber heavy artillery technical ability is not enough, can cast 12 pounds, 8 pounds and 6 pounds of infantry guns is enough.
It is easier to build a rifle than a cannon, but it is not necessary to re-furnace it, but to hammer it in the hydraulic forging factories built by the streams around Fuzhou, which not only removes impurities, but also makes the iron more solid and tough.
The casting of bullets, the production of gunpowder, were carried out in an orderly manner.
Before the arrival of the Lunar New Year in the second year of Jiaqing, all preparations have been made, and after the Chinese New Year, they are ready to take action.
Everything was ready, and Wang Fuqian finally proposed that he still needed a text, a document for Fengtian to clear.
Zhu Yuanzhang eliminated the southern Chen Youliang and other separatist forces, stabilized the south, before starting the Northern Expedition, in order to obtain a moral advantage in public opinion, he sent the Fengtian Northern Expedition to fight against Yuan Yuanwen, at that time it was the famous minister Song Lian, for the Wenchen, this is also an honor.
The content is even much the same, that is, it emphasizes the identity of the Manchu Dynasty, and counts all kinds of atrocities of the Manchu Dynasty, such as Qianlong's reuse of traitorous ministers, and the rampant corruption of the world, telling the world that the Manchu Qing Dynasty's national fortunes have arrived. In the two hundred years of the Central Plains, there will be heroes, who will obey the orders of heaven to drive out the Hulu, restore China, establish the Chen Ji, and relieve the people.
The script was continuously printed in a well-developed printing workshop in Fujian, and 300,000 copies were printed.
However, all this was carried out in a secret state, and Wang Fuqian originally wanted to do public opinion propaganda in an open and honest manner, but Zhou Lang objected, and these documents must be issued after the landing, otherwise it will affect the suddenness of the military operation.
In fact, the reason why Zhou Lang wanted to fight Beijing was also because he judged the current situation of Beijing's emptiness. He went to fight Beijing for the purpose of deterrence, to strike at the prestige of the Manchus. When the soldiers arrived in Beijing, it was a victory, but if they could really take Beijing, the blow to the Manchus would be even greater, and of course it would be a victory.
