Luo Zenan didn't expect that Luo Zhang's family would even write the letter of resignation, just waiting for his handprint. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

He knew in his heart that this was not that Luo Zhang's family wanted to leave him, but that he was forced to leave Zeng Guofan, leave the imperial court, and return to his hometown to join the rule of the Cantonese thieves.

He didn't expect that the Cantonese thief would do this. was able to convince his wife Luo Zhang, you know, Luo Zhangshi is a pungent character, not that she is willing, she will not write such a letter at all, let alone persuade herself. Unless it is, she really feels that life is very good under the rule of the Cantonese thief.

But didn't the imperial court's newspaper keep saying that the long-haired thieves burned, killed and looted, and confiscated all the local squires' property, and besides, the men were either killed or taken away and turned into slaves, and the women were even used as slaves and maids, just like beasts.

Luo Zenan also saw with his own eyes that the academies and Confucian temples in Yuezhou and Wuchang were burned down by Longhair, and the books of the sages of the common people were also burned, which made Luo Zenan very hateful, and swore to be in the same boat as the long-haired thieves who plagued Confucianism's world-governing science.

And this Cantonese thief originated from the long-haired thief soldiers, Luo Zenan thought that he was no different from the long-haired thief soldiers. But later I heard that the Cantonese thieves did not seem to strongly promote the so-called holy religion, but judging from the fact that the thief chief claimed to be the holy king and his country claimed to be the holy country, Luo Zenan still did not have a good impression of him.

But I didn't expect that in Luo Zhang's letter, the Cantonese thief reflected would be completely different. Where are these thieves, this is even more imperial than the imperial court. Treating the people so co-opted, so buying the hearts of the people, but even his neighbors, wives and children have been bought, this Cantonese thief has great ambitions and ambitions, it seems that he wants to become a generation of Ming monarchs like Ming Taizu.

If Luo Zhang's family letter only made Luo Zenan's heart unable to calm down, then the letter "Letter of the Holy King's Mansion to the Manchu Qing Dynasty Officials" directly tore all his fantasies, completely stirred his heart, and turned the world upside down.

At the beginning, after the long-haired thieves conquered Jiangning and formally established the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, Luo Zenan discussed with Zeng Guofan that the long-haired thieves worshiped God to engage in Western cults, burned the Chinese Confucian tradition and Confucius and Mencius, and called on the scholars of the world to resist the atrocities of the long-haired thieves and promote the righteousness of Chinese Confucianism, which was welcomed by the readers.

But to promote this Cantonese thief is different, his "Holy King's Mansion to the Manchu Qing Dynasty Officials and Gentry", does not mention the elimination of Confucian culture, nor does it mention the so-called worship of God and holy religion, but only with the Mannu Hu chieftain alien autocracy, to restore the Zhongxing Han family and establish the Chinese holy country.

And clearly proposed, "I wish the gentry under the rule of the Qing Dynasty, lead the people to vote, and do not blame their brothers", so as to completely avoid the religious issue, and call on the gentry and the people under the rule of the imperial court to follow them, and work with them to oppose the Qing Dynasty and create a country for the Han people.

Moreover, as long as the Cantonese thieves surrender at this time, they will not blame the past, and treat those who surrender as brothers. This meaning made Luo Zenan's heart tremble! He knew in his heart that this sentence was the most lethal!

Maybe Luo Zhang's letter to himself was because he saw this sentence, as long as he surrendered to the Yue thief, he could stay in his hometown with her.

Luo Zenan, who was thinking about it, raised his head suddenly, only to find that all the disciples were staring at him!

"What? Have you all received letters from home? Luo Zenan asked casually, but what surprised him was that most of these disciples nodded and took out a "Letter from the Holy King's Mansion to the Manchu Qing Officials" from his arms.

Luo Zenan was so frightened that he stood up: "I didn't expect that this Cantonese thief is so powerful!" As the saying goes, the siege is the bottom, and the heart is the top. Now that the Cantonese thieves are at their peak, looking at this situation, not only the Cantonese thieves are very powerful, but the local officials are even more powerful, so that my family members can willingly persuade us, plus this proclamation, dare to persuade people to surrender without blame, it is true, as soon as this proclamation comes out, the Qing Dynasty is in danger! ”

After a pause, he found that the thoughts of the disciples were no longer in the imperial court, but in their own attitudes, and he couldn't help asking, "What do you think?" ”

Wang Zhu took the lead in saying: "Sir, the student has decided to return to his hometown in Xiangxiang to serve his parents, raise his children, and cultivate and study heirlooms. ”

Luo Zenan was stunned!

This Wang Xin can be described as his eldest disciple, in fact, although Wang Xin is young, he is the first person to study under him. Moreover, before Wang Xin entered his door, he was already the best among the local squires in Xiangxiang, who was quick in thinking, eloquent, eloquent, and had a loud voice. At the earliest, he invited himself to organize a group exercise with him. Unexpectedly, now it turned out that he was the first to leave Master Zeng.

However, Luo Zenan thought about it and was also relieved: Wang Xin is talented, but he is a little showy, and he is not liked by Zeng Guofan, but now he happens to encounter the notice of the Cantonese thief and the persuasion of his family, and he will inevitably be moved.

"Pushan, you are going to invite you as a teacher, just to persuade me to return to my hometown with you?" Luo Zenan smiled bitterly: "You should understand that the reason why the teacher went out of the mountain to help Lord Futai is not for personal promotion and wealth, but to realize the ambition in the heart of the teacher, to govern the study and peace of the people and the world, this is the only thing that my generation should do who read the books of sages!" ”

Wang Xin persuaded loudly: "Sir, the student knows that you use the Confucian way of Confucius and Mencius to study the science of Cheng Zhu, take the people and things as the body, and use it with force!" Originally, I went out to the mountains with my husband to hold a group exercise, but it was only because the long-haired thieves entered from Guangxi and ravaged the south, in order to protect the people in Xiangxiang and protect the safety of the fathers and elders in our hometown, we rose up to protect ourselves. If the long-haired thieves are still in trouble, the students will be the assistant to the government, eradicate the thieves, and calm the place. But now the long-haired thieves have been compressed in Jiangning, and the rest of the entire south has been occupied by the Cantonese thieves in our mouth. ”

"But this Cantonese thief, after a year's observation by the students, found that although he broke away from the long-haired thief, he was completely different from the long-haired thief, and should not be confused." Wang Xin became excited, and his voice became louder and louder: "It is said that it is a Cantonese thief, but since the occupation of Xiangxiang, he has never robbed the squire's property arbitrarily, and it is impossible to burn, kill, plunder, and cause trouble in the place as the court and Lord Zeng said." ”

As he spoke, he took out the letter from his bosom and said, "Sir, this is a letter from the student's father. The letter said that after the so-called Cantonese thieves occupied our hometown in Xiangxiang, not only did they not embarrass our family members, but instead governed the place, solved the crisis, and helped a lot. According to my father, they set up a county office in Xiangxiang County, and also set up a township office and a town office in each township, and the students' families had more fields, 125 acres of paddy fields, which was more than 100 acres more than the total number in their regulations, so they purchased the 25 acres of inferior fields in the students' homes at a price of 8 taels per mu, all of which were purchased by the township office for a total of 200 taels of silver. The paddy fields purchased from the students' homes were used as the public land of the township office, and were rented to the villagers in the neighboring villages, and only 5 buckets per mu were charged as grain rent. ”

Not only that, but the township office also funded and organized strong men in the countryside to help the lonely, widowed, old and weak in the countryside plough the fields, plant seedlings and sow seeds, hoe grass and irrigate, and even harvest grain. The student has to say that if it weren't for his father's pen, the student would never believe that it was true! Since ancient times, all dynasties and dynasties, rural officials, only this Cantonese thief in our mouth is truly the parent official in the mouth of the people! If such a person has such a parent official who is in charge of the people, also known as a thief, according to the students, such a thief is much stronger than the government, the more the better! ”

Wang Xin finished speaking loudly, and for a while, everyone was stunned, and the scene was silent!

Jiang Yili, who was next to Wang Xin, was not much different in age from Wang Xin, and he was also indignant: "It's extreme! What Brother Pushan said is the truth! Yi Li also received a letter from his brother's family and persuaded me to return to my hometown. It's just that I don't want to be like Brother Pushan and return to my hometown for the rest of my life. Those present are either teachers or fellow disciples, and Yili is not afraid of everyone exposing the whistleblowers, to put it bluntly, Yili is ready to leave Wuchang in the next two days, go to the city of Guangzhou, seek the holy country, and make a great cause! ”

As soon as Jiang Yili said this, everyone's faces changed, and Luo Zenan was even more shocked!

He knew that his student was young and anxious, and Zeng Guofan had always been dissatisfied with him, but he didn't expect that Yili also had such a grudge against Zeng Guofan, otherwise, he would definitely not say that he wanted to leave.

As the teacher commander, he naturally wanted to persuade him: "Xiangquan, it is said that Lord Futai has always been quite dislike you, and he is also responsible for being a teacher, so he should not have persuaded you to stay, but after all, Lord Futai is also from Xiangxiang, so he will not do too much." Now I heard that the Cantonese thieves were going to come to Wuchang City, but it was inappropriate to leave at this time. Why don't you wait for Wuchang to settle down before you make plans? ”
