"If it cannot be restrained by law, then the infinitely inflated pursuit of profit will make the courage to destroy itself. The demise of the previous dynasty (Ming Dynasty) was due to this, the gentry's pursuit of maritime trade profits made them not allow the Ming court to levy taxes on all industry and commerce, but to try to reduce such taxes; Their pursuit of land profits made them desperate to buy land cheaply, and demanded rent and grain, so that there were many gangsters. Not only the Ming Dynasty, but almost at the end of any dynasty, this situation will occur, and the root cause lies in the self-destruction brought about by the uncontrollable pursuit of profits. Therefore, the officials and people of the Huaxia Dynasty should be vigilant about this......"

I don't know why, when Huang Zongxi finished shouting "Where is our ironclad gunboat", such a passage suddenly came to his mind.

These words are not what he said, nor are they from Yu Guozhen, but a newly rising Confucian scholar in China, who was praised by Fang Yizhi as "the first true Confucianism in China". Wang Fuzhi's initiative of "Qi first and then reason", "the world's only instruments", and "no tools and no way" corresponded to Fang Yizhi, forming a school known as "true Confucianism" within the Chinese Dynasty, which is now flourishing and almost Confucian orthodoxy.

And Huang Zongxi himself, although he did not admit it, and even often debated with Fang Yizhi and Wang Fuzhi through letters, but in fact he was also regarded as a branch of the "True Confucianism" school, and he even corresponded to Wang Fuzhi's belief that "Dajia is rich and the secretary of the Republic of China", and proposed "industry and commerce as the foundation" and "yin worship and luxury as the end"; Coupled with a Chen Zilong who went to Nanyang to build a large manor to prove that Confucianism "the world is for the public", the three echoed each other from afar, and all of a sudden, the Confucianism and even the entire ideological circle of the Chinese Dynasty entered the era of a hundred birds singing, and its prosperity was at its peak, which could be described as unprecedented.

In the letter that Chen Zilong sent to Huang Zongxi half a year ago, he once sighed: The foundation of the Chinese Dynasty has become a prototype. Huang Zongxi understood what he meant, some stupid people think that by formulating a few laws and formulating a few systems, they can be passed on to future generations, and even think that this means having strategic vision and depth of thought, but they have never thought that all laws and systems may be lost in government, and only thought can be long-lasting, even if the laws and systems change in the future, but the style of practical learning advocated by Yu Guozhen has been completely combined with traditional Confucianism.

Bu Xiuqiu didn't quite understand, how could Huang Zongxi suddenly be stunned there, for a gentleman like Huang Zongxi, he both admired and disdained, admired their style and knowledge, and disdained their pedantry and stubbornness. At this time, as the head of the academy's security guards, he had the right to make any decision, so he said sharply: "Bring Mr. Huang in!" ”

Two security guards carried Huang Zongxi back to the teaching building.

The reason why this teaching building was chosen is because the whole college is close to the river with this building, and the river more than 100 meters behind the building can lead to the sea. The situation has not been good recently, Bu Xiuqiu has been prepared for this, and has stockpiled food and water in the teaching building, if he can hold on here for a while, he can retreat from the river to the sea.

Huang Zongxi was dragged to the school building, and could only look anxiously at the growing number of English people gathered around him, and beside him were the teachers and naturalized students who had been gathered. The Confucius Institute in London is the only Confucius Institute in the entire British Isles, and a large number of naturalized students come here to study - because they can eat, wear and live here for free, although the conditions are far less than those in China, but in England, it is a place where countless smart people dream of going.

Not long after, a Europa man dressed as an English farmer ran over, and when he saw him, Huang Zongxi breathed a sigh of relief: "Why did you come back?" ”

"I heard that the academy is in trouble, I don't dare not go back, if I don't come back, wouldn't it be disloyal and unfilial, the master's kindness for four years of teaching, you dare not forget it!"

This man replied in a crepe manner, making Huang Zongxi feel free, patted him on the shoulder and said: "Disciple of life, only you are the most outstanding, rest assured, rest assured, the Huaxia army is mighty, and it will not sit idly by and watch us be trapped here...... It won't be long before our gunboats will be here. At that time, I will take you back to Huaxia! ”

Hearing Huang Zongxi say this, the joy on the face of the English man dressed as a farmer could hardly be suppressed.

He was studious by nature, but his family was poor, he was a widow, and his relationship with his mother was not harmonious, so he almost dropped out of school. Later, my uncle heard that the Confucius Academy opened by the Chinese not only did not charge tuition fees to teach knowledge, but also provided food and clothing, so he asked him to try it. His studious energy also impressed Huang Zongxi, and in just a few years, he had finished reading the Analects. Huang Zongxi gave him a Chinese name, surnamed Niu, his name was blunt, and his expression was Ru Li.

For Niu Yu, Huaxia is a country that only exists in dreams, and there are rumors of her everywhere in Europa, but there are not many people who can really reach Huaxia, or in other words, there are not many people who are willing to return to Europa after arriving in Huaxia, so being able to go to Huaxia, especially to Huaxia for academic research, is really a beautiful thing that Niu Dull can wake up with a smile in his dreams.

It was not in vain that he risked his life and ran back.

Bu Xiuqiu's shooting frightened the barbarians who tried to break into the academy, but they naturally had countermeasures, and it didn't take long for them to push the artillery cart and try to attack the Confucius Academy with artillery. After the cannon fired, a corner of the Confucius Academy was blown down, but soon the academy began to counterattack, and after a few gunshots, the cannon fire stopped.

"How's it going?"

Seeing Bu Xiuqiu turning back with a few security guards, Huang Zongxi asked a little nervously.

"The mountain chief can rest assured, the barbarian has been beaten back, and he should not dare to come again for a while. These fools actually believe that their God will bring them back to life without a sword, and then disperse after killing a few of them, which is really the ultimate ignorance, which should be the bad root of the heroic barbarian's bones. ”

Huang Zongxi's mouth squirmed, and he smiled dumbly.

In the pre-Ming Dynasty, Huang Zongxi was very clear about the use of filth to break the enemy's artillery array. It's just a little more than a decade and less than twenty years later, and now they can proudly comment on this behavior of the English.

At this time, the superstition and stupidity of the Europa people really made people feel angry and funny. Huang Zongxi had seen the sound of peddling exoneration charms with his own eyes, and as soon as the sound of the so-called gold coins sounded, the soul went to heaven, and the person who advocated this matter turned out to be the church that was considered to be the Pope. Huang Zongxi also met many missionaries in China, many of whom had great perseverance and perseverance, but the church to which they belonged was so pickled that Huang Zongxi couldn't help but be surprised.

"Although they can't be attacked, what should they do if they are besieged for a long time?" Huang Zongxi said worriedly: "Besides, there are many teachings that have not yet come back from studying abroad, if they fall into the hands of these fools, the consequences will be unimaginable......

"This is also something that cannot be helped, I warned before that the situation in England is unstable, and the center has also ordered the withdrawal to Lisbon, but you have to insist on being here." There was some resentment in Bu Xiuqiu's words.

Huang Zongxi hung his head and was silent, he really never thought that the situation would deteriorate so quickly.

"Fortunately, I have already sent someone to Lisbon the day before yesterday to report the emergency, there should be a response, we will hold out for two more days, whether the rest of us can get back in time or not, we will have to evacuate in two days."

"Xiuqiu ......"

"Shan Chang Huang, I know that you want to be responsible for those teachings and protect them, but if it drags on any longer, everyone will not be able to protect them!" Bu Xiuqiu said sharply: "Huangshan Chang, one mistake must not be wrong again!" ”

Huang Zongxi closed his eyes.

Yu Guozhen sent these Confucian students to Europa, which seemed to be ruthless, but the logistics were well done, not to mention that the countries of Europa did not know their details, thinking that they were really so-called "scholars" and treated them with great respect. Therefore, in the past few years, Huang Zongxi and others have lived quite comfortably - sometimes they can also fake the tiger and knock on the bamboo poles of Europa countries under the banner of China.

At this time, after thirty years of war, all the countries of Europa were recuperating and recuperating, and they were barely peaceful. Everywhere they went, they were respected, and Confucian theories and social ideas were widely popular in the chaotic city of Europa, and even some Europa countries were considering using the imperial examination system to select civil officials to avoid excessive interference by ecclesiastical forces in secular rule.

Therefore, in the current situation, although Huang Zongxi knew that Yu Guozhen would gloat, he could not blame Yu Guozhen.

Or did he let down his guard because he thought that he was about to return home at the end of his exile?

"According to you, according to you......" Huang Zongxi could only say so.

If he doesn't do this, there is no way, Bu Xiuqiu has already made up his mind, if Huang Zongxi does not agree, then he will evacuate with the security guards and the Confucian and naturalized students who are willing to leave, and leave Huang Zongxi here.

On the first day, the Confucian scholars who had traveled abroad returned, and on the second and third days, the siege of the barbarians became tighter and closer, and no one could escape back. Seeing that the food hoarded in the academy was in short supply, and the weapons in the hands of the surrounding barbarians were increasingly muskets, and even some people who were obviously English soldiers appeared, Bu Xiuqiu understood that he could no longer wait.

The evacuation process was a little chaotic, Bu Xiuqiu first led the security guards to pretend to break through the siege and attack, and at the same time, Huang Zongxi took Confucianism and naturalization to board the ship that came to meet him. During the retreat, two Confucian students and four naturalized students were injured, but there were no deaths. As soon as the three boats carrying them left the shore, Huang Zongxi saw the Confucius Academy on fire everywhere, and he sighed gloomily when he looked at this scene.

"Don't worry, Chief Huangshan, we will be back soon, and Yingman will take the initiative to build a bigger and more spectacular Confucius Academy for us." Bu Xiuqiu stood tall and proud: "The Holy Lord will never tolerate any offense against Huaxia, the barbarians are waiting for a thousand times revenge!" ”

If you don't know his details, you still think that he is a Chinese descendant from generation to generation.

Huang Zongxi sighed again, revenge is of course, Yu Guozhen is not a stupid brain like Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang externally, what kind of country is not to be conquered. After this news was transmitted back to China, Yu Guozhen must have thought of organizing an expedition. For this expedition, Huang Zongxi is optimistic about its success, these years China has not fought much foreign wars, but every expedition has reaped a lot of benefits for China, therefore, Huang Zongxi is not afraid that it will be like the three major expeditions of Wanli to waste the people and money in vain.

The boat they were on was not large, and when they reached the mouth of the Thames, they saw battleships flying the flag of the English Navy, and these battleships rushed up, and the gun doors were opened, and it was really murderous! (To be continued)
