Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Southern Sect of the Kong Clan
The Manchu officials who had surrendered were put into custody, and the army outside the city entered the city through the Lixian Gate. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Soon, the Ming army occupied various key points and sent troops to patrol the streets and roads, and finally controlled the entire city.
The Yamen of the Governor of Zhejiang and Fujian is located in the later Jiaoshe Street, which will soon be used as Chen Wen's line, and the Ming army of the brigade has been stationed, and the staff, officials and subordinates of the original Governor's Yamen have been driven into the prisoner camp together with the defenders, and will be screened later. After it was cleaned up, the staff of the accompanying army, the staff officers of the staff department, and some auxiliary soldiers entered the period to make arrangements, and Chen Wen's general flag was erected here.
The general staff was responsible for arranging the affairs of the city defense, and the troops drawn from each battalion were stationed separately, and in terms of civil affairs, Chen Wen's army staff had also begun to count the inventory, and at the same time instructed the Li Zheng in various parts of the city to count the population and issue a notice to reassure the people.
When he remembered that when Dongyang County was captured last year, Chen Wen relied on the relatively mature civilian system of the Ming Army in Dalanshan, and he had to participate in these things to a greater or lesser extent. However, now, the military affairs are arranged by the General Staff Department, and the civil affairs are handled by the staff members accompanying the army, and he only needs to conduct spot checks, and there is no need to work hard to handle general affairs.
When entering Quzhou City, the first thing Chen Wen did was to go to the Confucius Temple of Nanzong to worship the spiritual seat of Confucius.
Confucius's family temple was originally located in Qufu, Shandong, where it was Confucius's hometown, and later came to the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, the Jin army went south, and Kong Duanyou, the then Yansheng Gong, was entrusted with the family heirloom, and it is rumored that Zigong carved the "Confucius and the wife of the official", "Tang Wu Daozi painted Confucius sword" and "the most holy Wenxuan Wang temple worship Zhu Yin", etc., and some of the clansmen moved south, and the family was in Quzhou, Zhejiang, this is the southern sect of Confucius.
From Yuan to Yuan, the ancestor of the Yuan dynasty, Kublai Khan, proposed to establish the descendants of Confucius, and took those who lived in Quzhou as the main sect, and wanted to recall them to return to Qufu to attack and enshrine them. Since then, the Northern Sect of the Confucian family in Qufu has received the title of Yansheng Duke, while the Southern Sect has not received the official position of hereditary Doctor of the Five Classics of the Hanlin Academy until the Hongzhi period of the Ming Dynasty.
The Confucian Northern Sect Chen Wen can't touch it now, but since Quzhou has been recovered, the Confucian Temple of the Southern Sect still has to pay respects, and it is also necessary to go to worship.
Worshipping the Confucian Temple is a compulsory course for every Quzhou minister, and it can even be said that every official and scholar passing through Quzhou will almost inevitably do. Just like when Chen Wen went to pay tribute to Zhang Guowei in Dongyang, he worshiped the filial piety temple in Yiwu, and he would definitely go to the places of interest and historic sites in various counties when he visited the county, in this era when Confucianism was popular and even the Tartar emperor had to respect Confucius and worship Confucius, it was very important to worship Confucius.
Came to the Confucian family temple, Chen Wen bowed down in front of Confucius's spiritual seat according to etiquette, bowed and bowed, and was always accompanied by Kong Zhenshu, the patriarch of the Confucian Southern Sect.
Although Kong Zhenshu is the patriarch, he is not a hereditary doctor of the Five Classics of the Hanlin Academy, he is the brother of Kong Zhenyun, the former hereditary doctor of the Five Classics of the Hanlin Academy. Kong Zhenyun has long since passed away, and the hereditary doctor of the Five Classics of the Hanlin Academy, who is now appointed by the Ming court, no longer exists, but the Manchu Qing Dynasty ordered Kong Zhenyun's eldest grandson, Kong Yanzhen, to inherit him and become the hereditary doctor of the Five Classics of the Hanlin Academy of the Manchu Dynasty.
Kong Yanzhen had just gone out of the city and surrendered with the group of Manchu officials, Chen Wen knew very well the intention of those slippery heads to find Kong Yanzhen to accompany him, he did not embarrass them, but sent several officials led by him to the governor's yamen with Kong Yanzhen, waiting for him to deal with the matter before deciding their fate.
After worshipping the spiritual seat of Confucius, Chen Wen went around the Confucius Temple of Nanzong again, saying that this time was too hasty, and he would make a grand memorial after the imperial court decreed to decide on the hereditary doctor of the Five Classics of the Hanlin Academy, and then said goodbye and left. Along the way, Kong Zhenshu, the patriarch of the Kong family, wanted to explain Kong Yanzhen's acceptance of the Manchu official position and going out to accompany him today, but Chen Wen diverted the topic, and he was so anxious that he was like an ant on a hot pot.
Returning to the governor's yamen, Chen Wen first dealt with some matters, listened to the reports of his staff and generals, and then sent people to invite the Manchu officials who had surrendered.
Due to the existence of Shentangyuan in the battle a month earlier, many officers of the Qing army were captured by the Ming army, and only the half-crippled Governor Battalion and the Fujian General Road General Battalion escaped as an organization, and the other high-ranking officers were only Liu Guangbi, the governor of Jiangxi, and Hu Laijing, the deputy general of Wenzhou, who had better luck. Especially Hu Laijing, several other lieutenants who were on the left wing of the Qing army with him were all arrested, only he fled back to Wenzhou with his own soldiers, this battlefield escape ability is indeed not ordinary, if he was born a few years earlier, maybe he can also compare with Zu Dashou in this regard.
The rest of the people in Quzhou City are all thousands of generals and generals, and the highest official position is just a garrison. Chen Jin was still alive before, they were naturally ordered, and as soon as Chen Jin died, these headless flies who did not control each other could only extinguish their resistance heart.
These officers are too low-ranked, and Chen Wen, who has a bunch of adjutant generals, staff generals, and guerrillas in his hands, is really not interested in wasting time with them. The people invited this time are all civil officials in the capital of Quzhou. For example, Jin Quyan guarded Feng Rujing, Jin Qu was divided into patrol Li Jiqi, Quzhou prefect Han Yangol, Xi'an Zhixian Cheng Jinzheng, and Kong Yanzhen, the hereditary doctor of the Five Classics of the Hanlin Academy, who had just been in office for only eight months.
Chen Wen didn't have any memory of these people, and even his staff didn't know much about these people.
Jin Qu strictly guarded the road Feng Rujing in the Chongzhen period for the Yongping Mansion Tongzhi, and later the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, he was the first Yongping prefect of the Qing Dynasty, and later there were many promotions. It was not until March of this year that Chen Wen's first attack on Quzhou had not yet begun, and he was reappointed from the official position of the Henan Political Envoy to participate in the administration and manage the river, and now he was just in time for Quzhou to be recovered by the Ming army, and he was purely unlucky.
Coincidentally, Li Jiqi, who was at the same level as Feng Rujing, was supposed to be reappointed to the Lingbei Branch of Jiangxi in August this year, and he was replaced by Zhang Yuanxuan, the prefect of Yangzhou. In August, although the two sides were out of war, the Manchus did not change their generals because the war was about to begin, and as a result, the lucky Zhang Yuanxuan got out of the big trouble, and Li Jiqi became another unlucky egg.
In the original history, Feng Rujing's family could almost be said to have been officials for generations in the Youqing Dynasty, and Li Jiqi sat in the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of War three years later, which can be described as a prosperous official. But now, they can only wait here for Chen Wen's disposal, even if Chen Wen lets them go, it is impossible to have such an encounter again.
These Manchu officials were summoned over, and when they saw Chen Wen, they did not salute, but stood there with a loud horn. Chen Wen didn't intend to embarrass them, so he let them sit down on their own, saying that he would confiscate their income in Quzhou and let their families send a fine before they were released.
For the Manchu officials, Chen Wen never had a clear standard of punishment, and among the Qing generals captured by him, such as Li Rong, the deputy general of the Zuo Battalion, was executed by Wang Jiang, and the Jinhua general Ma Jinbao was Ling Chi by him, which was actually a special case, one was used to avenge Wang Yi, and the other was to avenge the suffering people of the Jinhua massacre.
And those civil officials who were captured, such as the prefect of Jinhua Mansion who climbed the wall and didn't run away, are still locked up in the prison, eating and sleeping enough every day, sleeping enough, and composing a few sour poems expressing themselves in prison, singing and harmonizing with the magistrates of Dongyang and Yiwu counties who are also in the prison, which is really a waste of food.
Sometimes, Chen Wen even thinks that if the magistrate of Longyou County is also locked up with them, and then they are given a deck of mahjong cards, the four of them have nothing to do to play mahjong, and in a few years, there will be a few characters such as gambling gods.
These officials surrendered on their own, but Chen Wen has no interest in recruiting them at all, the most important thing in this world is people who want to be officials, there is no need to waste too much time on these nobodies, and at the moment, they are actually just promising in advance that they will not embarrass them and do not want to break their promises, so Chen Wen just reiterated the disposal and ignored them, but led the topic to Kong Yanzhen.
Kong Yanzhen, the name Si Ke, is the eldest grandson of Kong Zhenyun, who was hereditary in the Wanli period of the Hanlin Academy, and his father Kong Shangqian died early, and later when his grandfather Kong Zhenyun died, a large number of Manchu Dao, prefecture, and county officials, including Li Jiqi and Han Yangol, went to mourn.
At that time, Chen Wen was far from entering Quzhou Mansion, and the Ming army in Zhejiang also appeared weak after the Battle of Zhoushan, and even precarious. Nanzong was in the occupied area of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, so Kong Yanzhen came out to the Qing court to seek the official position of the hereditary doctor of the Five Classics of the Hanlin Academy, and in February this year, the Manchu Qing Dynasty granted the official position, which also had the help of Chen Jin, Li Jiqi, Cheng Jinzheng and others, so when the Manchu officials in Quzhou were forced to surrender, they took advantage of this kindness to find this young man who was only seventeen years old, and added another layer of insurance to their life safety.
How could Chen Wen not know these subtle psychology, but he was just too lazy to pay attention to this group of villains. But for this successor of the Confucian family, while Chen Wen understands his psychology of repaying his kindness, he must also force the Confucian family to re-establish himself as soon as possible and win the hearts of the Confucian scholars for tomorrow.
"I heard the patriarch of the nobility mention that Si Ke is the eldest grandson of the previous hereditary doctor of the Five Classics of the Hanlin Academy, but is that so?"
"Exactly."
Hearing this, Kong Yanzhen got up and saluted like a ritual, except for the money rat tail on his head and the Manchu official uniform on his body, how awkward it looked, it was a habit that he had been trained to be strict since he was a child.
It's just that Chen Wen didn't intend to let him go because of this, this question was just a foreshadowing, and seeing that Li Jiqi and the others' faces suddenly turned white, he went straight to the point.
"Now that Quzhou has been recovered by Wang Shi, I intend to invite the Son of Heaven to inherit the position of Doctor of the Five Classics of the Hanlin Academy by Si Ke, and worship in the temple of the Southern Sect of the Confucian Family, I don't know what to do?" (To be continued.) )
