Chapter 69: On Xiucai's Rebellion (I)

Chen Dingtian doesn't care what Mo Qing does, anyway, he just responds to all changes with the same, he doesn't know what Mo Qing wants to do, so of course he can't make a targeted response. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info But since this Mo Qing is coming for herself, then she will always reveal her thoughts one day, as long as she doesn't ask her, then sooner or later she will tell her purpose. In short, in the past few days, Mo Qing invited him, and Chen Dingtian would also go. However, Chen Dingtian took Guan Qin to avoid the situation in case. However, Chen Dingtian has also been asking people to inquire about this Mo Qing's information, but the specific information is not very clear. Because the people of the Tiandihui in Shandong have to rely on the relationship, especially there are a lot of Xiangma in Shandong, which is not the territory of the East China Tiandihui, and it is difficult to inquire about the news. However, at present, I heard that this Mo Qing was the righteous daughter of Mo Da, the head of Shandong Xiangma, so it is even more difficult to inquire.

In the past nine years, there has been almost zero news about Mo Qing, and even the Manchu court has no interest in inquiring about Mo Qing's whereabouts. Therefore, it is impossible to know what Mo Qing has experienced in the past nine years, which is the biggest problem in understanding Mo Qing. The people of this Heaven and Earth Society also felt a headache, and even the Manchu Qing Dynasty didn't have much information about Mo Qing, and this Guan Qin didn't understand it. However, Chen Dingtian also continued to read and copy books steadily, with a posture of not listening to things outside the window, and only "copying" the books of sages.

"Is Mr. Chen here?" There was a knock on Chen Dingtian's door.

Guan Qin quickly went to open the door, because this voice was Mo Qing's voice, in order to avoid accidents, he still asked Guan Qin to open the door.

"Miss Guan, I'm here to visit Mr. Chen!" Mo Qing said.

"Please!" Guan Qin replied.

Mo Qing walked directly to Chen Dingtian's study, saw that Chen Dingtian was still preparing the outline of the book, and took the initiative to ask: "I heard that Mr. Chen is a great talent, although I am a woman, but I also know the truth of being a good person to read and read good books, so I came to ask Mr. Chen for a few books to see, what do you think?" ā€

"This is really disappointing Miss Mo Qing, I don't have any 'good books' here, I just have some books for small talk and entertainment. Of course, there are some foreign books, but these are foreign books, and I'm afraid they are not good books! I don't have any Confucian classics here, and I don't have any of the Four Books and Five Classics! Chen Dingtian said.

But Mo Qing said instead: "Great, I just like to watch this kind of thing." I'm not interested in the Four Books and the Five Classics. My favorite is the script, what is the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, what is the Water Margin Liangshan heroes. What a hero the one hundred and eight heroes of Liangshan back then, they rose up against the court and asked for their lives for the people, but unfortunately there was no good result in the end, which is really a pity. ā€

"......" Chen Dingtian was speechless.

Chen Dingtian found that he seemed to have made an empirical mistake, he subconsciously thought that the ancients liked those Confucian classics of the Four Books and Five Classics, but now this Mo Qing actually likes those Romance of the Three Kingdoms and the Water Margin or something. But it seems that this is the case, liking the Four Books and Five Classics, in fact, it is nothing more than the ancient people who went to study the Four Books and Five Classics in order to take the imperial examination and get a stepping stone. Studying the Four Books and the Five Classics, like the vast majority of later generations to mix up a degree, in fact, everyone has no interest in this, but they have to study because of the needs of the times. However, once you learn it, once you become an official, then few people will continue to study it. Except for a few real preferences, most of the others are just "Ye Gong is a good dragon", and once they become officials, they basically don't go to learn.

And this Miss Moqing should be a ringing horse, expecting a ringing horse to like the Four Books and Five Classics, it is as ridiculous as thinking that Zhang Fei likes embroidery. However, it is very possible that Shandong Xiangma likes "Water Margin", because isn't the Liangshan hero in Water Margin in Shandong?

"It turns out that Miss Moqing likes this Liangshan hero, but I don't think it's a pity for the Liangshan hero, I think the Liangshan hero has such a result, I think it's just to blame!" Chen Dingtian couldn't help but say.

Mo Qing hurriedly asked, "Mr. Chen, why do you think so?" ā€

"Miss Mo, there was a saying during the Song Dynasty, you have to be an official, kill people and set fires. The heroes of Liangshan rebelled just to become officials, and to become a master. What's more, if you look at the so-called heroes in Liangshan, what kind of things they do. Li Kui didn't even let go of a child a few years old. Even if the adults are at fault, it won't implicate the children and let Li Kui kill them, right? And the heroes of Liangshan finally chose to accept Zhao'an, which shows that their position is not firm at all, and they have no real idea of asking for life and working for the benefit of the people. Liangshan's failure is inevitable, and they don't really have the idea of working for the benefit of the people at all, so they are just revolting for their own interests, and they insist on putting on a layer of seeking benefits for the people and asking for their lives, isn't this very ridiculous? Chen Dingtian said.

Mo Qing was speechless, obviously she was not very happy that the heroes of Liangshan who had been circulating in Shandong for so many years were so refuted by Chen Dingtian. However, Mo Qing's idea is to see how much skill Chen Dingtian has, and now Chen Dingtian has refuted the heroes of Liangshan as worthless, although it is ugly, it seems to have some truth. After all, the heroes of Liangshan are not a good thing, they are just fighting for their own interests, aren't they just to be officials? They are expected to come and ask for the people's lives, and they are not the ones who ask for the people's lives at all. Lu Zhishen, Li Kui and many others are indiscriminately killing innocent people. Many people who did not sin to death became people who were certain to die under the hands of the heroes of Liangshan.

In fact, Chen Dingtian doesn't think it's a good thing for most of the heroes in the rivers and lakes, especially these who decide a person's life and death with their own subjective judgment, which is very unreasonable. Killing people at every turn, destroying people at every turn, this kind of behavior is really not good. Because the criminal's family is guilty, it is a rule that a person who commits a crime and does not harm his family. Compare your heart to your heart, if a relative who can't hit the eight poles commits something, you will also be connected, how do you feel? Those heroes are wiped out at every turn, and many innocent people have been implicated because of this, which is really inappropriate. Don't judge whether this person deserves to die by your own thinking, although the law has many loopholes, but the law is enough to protect the interests of the vast majority of people and maintain a basic passable order. If everyone has to judge for themselves whether others deserve to die, then the world will inevitably be in chaos.

Mo Qing then asked: "Mr. Chen, if you were in Liangshan, Shandong back then, how do you say you should make Liangshan achieve great things?" ā€

"Oh? Why, Miss Mo, you are also interested in time-traveling novels? Chen Dingtian asked.

Mo Qing asked rhetorically: "What is a time-traveling novel?" ā€

"Well, traveling through the novel is, for example, from our Qing Dynasty to the previous Ming Dynasty, the Yuan Dynasty, and even the earlier Tang and Song dynasties. Then it was deduced by various means, and then history went in a different direction. For example, if the Song Dynasty perished after the Battle of Yashan, if it came to the Battle of Yashan, it would help the Great Song Dynasty to revive and embark on another path through various means. And the same is true of other dynasties, in short, it is to deduce what can be done after crossing over. Chen Dingtian said.

Mo Qing hurriedly said: "Mr. Chen, why don't you deduce how this Liangshan was able to achieve great things back then?" ā€

"This, impossible! Because there was no so-called 'traverser' in Liangshan who could predict the future back then, it was impossible to succeed. If Liangshan had a person who could predict the future, the future Jin army going south, and even the Fangla uprising, etc., and prepare in advance, this might still be successful. However, if there is no premise that can be established on the prediction of the future, then the failure of Liangshan is inevitable. Chen Dingtian replied.

Mo Qing was speechless, thinking that you and she also thought that it was impossible to predict the future, if this assumption was defined in the case of not being able to predict the future, then Liangshan had no future back then.

"The location of Shandong is really not very good, especially Liangshan is seriously closed, they are a group of robbers who rob houses and houses, and it is impossible to get the sincere support of the people. It may be possible to get temporary support by robbing the rich and helping the poor, but this support will not last long. Slowly, the people will find that these Liangshan heroes rebelled, although they robbed the rich and helped the poor to get one-time food, but these grains were just floating wealth. These floating wealth can only be obtained under the premise of destroying the order of production, that is, buying and selling with a hammer. If they destroy the order of production in this way, but they only know how to destroy but do not know how to build, then there will inevitably be less and less food and floating wealth, and the people will not be able to produce steadily, so the people will support the imperial court. Chen Dingtian said.

Mo Qing hurriedly asked: "Then those heroes also gave them wealth, so that they can fight those corrupt officials and corrupt officials!" ā€

"You can't say that, those heroes may certainly kill corrupt officials and corrupt officials, but they also destroy the order of production. If the people can produce stably, although they will be exploited by corrupt officials and corrupt officials, they will be able to produce continuously, and at least they can survive. However, those heroes, they are actually a gang of robbers, and the people may have obtained the wealth of robbing the rich and helping the poor for a while, but they still look down on them in their hearts. However, these robbers disrupted the order of production, and the people could not produce, and once the food was eaten, they would also starve to death. Rather than this, it is better to live a peaceful and stable life, and would rather be exploited, but live. And those heroes keep destroying production, but will pull strong people and extort the surrounding people to maintain their desire to drink and eat meat. ā€

Mo Qing said unconvinced: "Aren't the corrupt officials in the court also exploiting?" ā€

"Well, it does. However, those heroes exploit it, but they don't know how to guide production, and they can't guide production, so it is inevitable that the people will sit and eat empty. And corrupt officials and corrupt officials, although they exploit, but they also know that they can't do everything to catch fish, and they know that they must guide production, so that although the people are exploited, they can barely survive. In this way, the lesser of the two harms, so the people would rather be exploited by the government than by those heroes who only know how to destroy and do not know how to produce and build. ā€

Chen Dingtian's words completely broke the thoughts in Mo Qing's heart. Mo Qing originally thought that as long as he could raise the banner of the uprising, the story would directly lead the Shandong Xiangma Uprising, so that the people would definitely support him and oppose the Qing court. But after really meeting Chen Dingtian, Chen Dingtian broke his idea. If Mo Qing chooses to revolt, then maybe the people will not only not support it, but will hate it. If she doesn't revolt, the people will be exploited, but they will still be able to survive steadily. However, once the uprising destroys the order of production, in the end, the people would rather choose the court that knows how to guide production, rather than those ringing horses who are the masters of the people, because the ringing horses only know how to destroy, not how to produce.

"The people have a scale in their hearts, and many bandits go to loot under the banner of being the master of the people, and then rob the rich and help the poor. But they are destroying production, and their looting is based on the premise that there are still people to loot, and if they can't loot, then they will inevitably collapse. Therefore, rebellion is not such a rebellion, rebellion is a technical work, not just a war. Fighting a war is only a part, or even a very small part. But too many people just see that rebellion is just a war, and this is definitely not going to work. More development of production, especially all kinds of rallying all forces against the enemy, all kinds of political means are ignored by many. In this way, their defeat is inevitable, and the final result is either surrender or complete annihilation. In addition, Shandong is not a suitable place for rebellion, Shandong is the hometown of Confucius and Mencius! There are many scholars in Shandong, but because of this, scholars will not support those thieves, and they would rather support the imperial court. In this way, many rebels could not gain enough civilian support, and they were bound to fail. ā€

However, Mo Qing disagreed: "I heard that the pit ash is not cold and the Shandong is in turmoil, and Liu Xiang didn't study. And didn't it say that Xiucai rebelled, and it didn't work out in three years? ā€

"It seems that Miss Mo Qing also reads, so how could you say that Liu Xiang didn't read stupidly?" Chen Dingtian asked.

"This ......"

"Therefore, the so-called Xiucai rebellion has not been successful for three years, and what Liu Xiang didn't study before, it was just a false proposition. The reason why these words have been able to circulate to the present is because those imperial courts are talking nonsense in order to prevent their subordinates from reading and rebelling. A truly successful rebellion, which one can be separated from the scholars? It's all a rebellion of the scholars, and that's not possible. But without the rebellion of the scholars, it would never have worked! Chen Dingtian said.
