You can say that he was illiterate, and even regarded as a pariah kiln worker by the Zeng vassal clans, and Yang Xiuqing, the eastern king of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, in his book "Fengtian Asks Hu Wei", once painfully reminded the world, "Fu China has the image of China, and now Manchuria has ordered to cut his hair and drag a long tail behind, which is to make Chinese people become beasts." China has a Chinese crown, and now Manchuria is placed on the top, and the bearded monkey crown, the bad ancestors' crown, is to make the Chinese people forget its roots. "Whoever revolts to rejuvenate China and raze its nine ethnic groups is a plot to destroy Chinese heroes." ”
Of course, Yang Xiuqing did not write these words himself, but as a leader of farmers, he still saw this after all. At least, when he said or listened to these words, he must have felt extremely ear-catching, otherwise he would not have written them in the text.
What about Zeng Guofan? Zeng Guofan is a "great Confucian", and he may know more words than Yang Xiuqing eats salt, but he seems to have forgotten this. Moreover, they are like fire and water with these "mobs" and "long-haired" who are trying to restore the rivers and mountains of the Han family, and regard the barbarians who ravaged and trampled on the morality of their ancestors as their own relatives. If it is forgivable that the millions of lower-class people in the world at that time were uneducated, ignorant and ignorant, and regarded the long robes, horse coats, and thick braids as the products left by their ancestors, it is only sad for the appearance of Zeng Guofan and others at this time.
Zeng Guofan, can he really forget this qiē? Of course not, the book he reads can't just eat in his stomach. It may even be better than anyone else to know the history of Confucianism.
China's Confucianism has evolved from the hundreds of schools of thought and the atmosphere of the former Qin Dynasty to the Han and Tang dynasties, which still did not lose its heroic spirit. Although Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty respected Confucianism as a "fake", it was true to meet the needs of the unification of the empire. He deposed the hundred schools of thought, and Confucianism lost its competition. So over time, the false became true, and Confucianism evolved into the only truth.
When it comes to the so-called Song Ming theory, it makes the real a fake. During this period, Confucianism completely went all the way to femininity. Therefore, in the eyes of Song Confucianism, all the former Han Confucians were pseudo-Confucians, and Zhu Xi even quoted Cheng Yi to say Cheng Hao's words in his "Notes on the Four Books", and sighed, "There is no true Confucianism for thousands of years"! Not only did he drive the Han Confucians out of Confucianism, but even the Confucian ancestors who made the fake were swept out of the door by him. In this way, the Song and Ming cynics could naturally sing their fallacies and heresies. "Preserving Heavenly Principles and Destroying People's Desires", and "Retreating and Guarding Independently and Respecting Great Philosophy" are all products advocated by the philosophers of science in the era of the weakening power of the Southern Song Dynasty.
Zeng Guofan happened to be the one who inherited the mantle of Song and Ming cynicism. He kept saying, "Governing life does not seek wealth, study does not seek officials, cultivation of virtue does not seek retribution, and literature does not seek transmission." In order to earnestly teach the children and grandchildren of the disciples, in order to show the brilliance of their own image. But what did he do behind the scenes? If he really "studied and did not seek officials", he would not have written a hesitant and complacent family letter when he became a second-class official, "There is no one in this dynasty who is thirty-seven years old in Hunan to the second grade". As for the emperor's concubine before the great funeral, he can't remember you for a lifetime for a little thing, even if you are his savior, he still ignores you and so on, and he can't count them. Fortunately, history has developed to the present, and he has not had time to do the bad things behind. It can be seen that he is just a pseudo-Confucian and a false Taoist. I like to sing high-pitched, and fool the ignorant.
Now, when Zeng Guofan led the army into Zhuzhou City, there was no trace of worry in his heart on his face. Before entering the city, although it was already evening, he deliberately tidied up the newly made horseshoe sleeve official robe on his body, and straightened the top ribbon flower feather of the second grade on his head. He also squinted and smiled at a few guards around him, and warned them, "Clothing is not only the pride of a country, but also the embodiment of a person's heart. These are the most sacred words left by our ancestors, and we must not ignore them. "He's like this, if he has something to do, he always has to be a sage to induce and induce the people around him everywhere, even if it's a very small thing.
In the Marshal's Mansion, which was temporarily converted from the Zhuzhou County Ya, he twisted his beard and quietly listened to the report of the Zhuzhou magistrate about Zeng Guoquan, Liu Rong and others sending troops to Xiangtan. Listening to it, it was as if there was a pins and needles under his buttocks, and he gradually couldn't sit still. Lao Jiu and they went to Xiangtan in the early morning, why has there been no news to pass back so far? I think it must have been a little smooth? This old nine just likes to be greedy for merit, and if he goes on like this, he will suffer a big loss sooner or later. Thinking about it like this, he felt a lot more down-to-earth, and hurriedly ordered Taqib and other battalion generals to send fast horses to sentry in the direction of Xiangtan on the one hand, and pay attention to arranging the city defense on the other.
Finally, he looked at the magistrate of Zhuzhou, who was still standing there, "Zhuzhou is close to Changsha and Xiangtan, and it coincides with the rampant long hair. Why is it that when night falls, the city gates are still wide open, and there is no sense of crisis at all. If the long hair took advantage of the situation, wouldn't it be a great favor for them? "Zou Shouzhang
The magistrate of Zhuzhou was confused. This Zeng Guofan is really interesting, the city gate was opened to welcome your Hunan army, and he also deliberately let out his own county government to make him live more comfortably. According to what he said, I am suspected of intentionally helping the bandits. Besides, you are a second-class master, and you are the governor of the two lakes. The authority given to you by the Holy Lord is only to set up a group to train and suppress bandits, and you don't have the right to govern my own local magistrate. He coughed lightly and replied respectfully, "Your Excellency's anger is all a temporary negligence on the part of the lower officials, but"
Zeng Guofan's eyes rolled, what he was most tired of was others bargaining in front of him. I said you're wrong, you're wrong, what's there? However, there was a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth, and he even nodded, "It seems that you think that Lord Ben can't control you." ”
The magistrate of Zhuzhou was a little annoyed, you are the emperor, and you should always give others a right to speak, right? But there is no way, you still have to pretend to be on your face, who calls your official rank low. He hurriedly arched his hand, "The lower official doesn't dare, the lower official said"
Zeng Guofan still looked so charitable, he waved his hand to interrupt the other party's defense again, and nodded at Zou Shouzhang, the leader of the pro-soldiers standing at the door, "Take off the top ribbon flower feather in Zhuzhou County, and temporarily press the prison." After speaking, he didn't care about the surprised expression of the Zhuzhou magistrate, got up and entered the back hall.
The two staff members Zhang Shoulin and Li Xianzhang sitting in the lobby looked at each other, a little inexplicable, and hurriedly followed.
"Marshal, we can't be unhappy with the magistrate, I'm afraid that doing so will affect the development of our Hunan army in the future. Governor Luo Bingzhang has already had some holidays with us, and isn't it adding fuel to the fire to the matter under his jurisdiction at this time? Zhang Shoulin cautiously reminded Zeng Guofan, who was engrossed in reading the book.
Zeng Guofan glanced at him, and slammed the "Analects" in his hand on the table next to him, but immediately carefully picked it up again, and blew it with his mouth, as if he didn't know how much dust would be on the book just now. After doing this, he became kind again, "In this Zhuzhou County, I was still too fat when I wore pants with Zhang Liangji for a day, and I obstructed the training group practice. Otherwise, we wouldn't have gone all the way to Hengzhou to train the troops. ”
I see, Li Xianzhang smiled slightly when he heard this. He looked at the marshal who dared to think and dare to do, and did not care about personal gains and losses in order to seek the country's great plan, and nodded and praised, "It is most appropriate for the marshal to deal with it like this, and this kind of person staying by his side will only increase the trouble." But can't it just be closed? ”
Zeng Guofan nodded, and raised the book in his hand, "Sage Yun, if the name is not right, it will not be good." In the end, he, the magistrate, still does not belong to the jurisdiction of this official, so"
"This is simple," Zhang Shoulin smiled, "It just happens that there is chaos everywhere, and it is not easy to deal with a few people." I'll do it. ”
"This" Li Xianzhang hesitated for a moment and looked at Zhang Shoulin, "There must always be a reason to attack an official of the imperial court." ”
"Pedantic!" Zhang Shoulin pursed his lips, "Isn't it simple to ask for a reason, just three words, it's enough." After saying that, he looked at his handsome man with squinted eyes and encouragement, and stood up. He stretched out three fingers at Li Xianzhang and smiled, "That's 'unnecessary'." ”
Zeng Guofan did not laugh, but looked very sad. He lamented, "This official has always cultivated virtue and does not seek retribution, and he never cares about the mistakes of others. However, at the moment, cracking down on bandits is the first priority, and there is no room for selfish distractions. Otherwise, you will not only fail the emperor's grace, but also be ashamed of the spirit of the ancestors and ancestors in the sky. As he spoke, he rubbed the corners of his eyes, and his nose seemed to make a sloppy sound. Then, with a sigh, he twisted his beard and then looked at the book in his hand.
