Chapter 64: The Cleansing of Officials and the Harm to the People (1)

"Yong'an Great Victory, Yong'an Great Victory, Yongan Great Victory......" "I Daqing killed Xiao Chaogui, the head of the long-haired thief, the pseudo-king of the West, in Yong'an!"

The Qing court publicized the great victory of Yong'an everywhere, and the king of the west was able to boost morale. The relevant news of the www.biquge.info of Pen, Fun, and Pavilion also quickly spread to the Jiangsu area.

"Virtuous son-in-law, the Qing court actually defeated Changmao? Did they win a big victory in Yong'an? Xiao Chaogui who also killed them? Zhou Lichun hurriedly asked.

Chen Dingtian looked at this so-called Qing army's victory, and wondered: "It shouldn't be, why did Xiao Chaogui die so quickly?" It shouldn't be! What went wrong? ”

Obviously, Chen Dingtian didn't know that the butterfly effect he caused was so big, so that Xiao Chaogui died early. However, this has nothing to do with Chen Dingtian at present, and now he sees that Zhou Lichun is actually shaken by the uprising, which makes him feel inappropriate, if Zhou Lichun shakes the idea of the uprising, it will be a trouble.

"Father-in-law, you don't need to worry. Look at the so-called Yong'an victory of the Qing army, but it is just a swollen face to fill the fat man. At that time, Changmao was controlled in Yong'an City and was fiercely surrounded by the Qing army. But you see, now, Longhair has successfully broken through and has been going north. Although they killed a Xiao Chaogui, although Xiao Chaogui was the king of the west of the Taiping army, he was also a king of the west. In fact, it is the death of one leader, and the other can be replaced at any time. As for the Taiping army's losses, it is only a few thousand soldiers, and these thousands of soldiers can come in if they pull a few strong men, not too much. As for the death of a Xiao Chaogui, in fact, it can't be regarded as anything, who won't die on the battlefield? The point is that the strength of the long hair is not really lost, but continues to strengthen. This Qing army just killed a Xiao Chaogui, and then deliberately chose this method to slap a swollen face and become fat in order to cover up the failure. Chen Dingtian said.

Zhou Lichun nodded and said, "It seems to be the truth!" ”

When Zhou Lichun left, Bismarck next to him said to Chen Dingtian: "Chen, I didn't say you, your father-in-law is probably not suitable to be a general!" His thinking is still stuck in those rivers and lakes fighting and brawling, and he doesn't even understand a little military common sense, his military common sense is not as good as you, a literati, is he really suitable to be a leader? ”

Chen Dingtian was also silent, several foreigners around him, Bismarck, Venix and James Bond had just said once by Chen Dingtian's side that this Zhou Lichun was actually not suitable to be a leader of the rebel army. This Zhou Lichun's thinking is still stuck on the chaos of the rivers and lakes, and his war thinking and various ideas have been set. Even his "view of war" is actually very unscientific, he believes that war is actually just a fight between gangsters, but a fight between gangsters on a larger scale. Although this Zhou Lichun had the idea of expelling the Tartars and restoring the Han family, it was obvious that he did not have this ability.

This is Zhou Lichun's life for decades, and it doesn't mean that it can be changed. Once a thinking has been formed for decades, it can be changed not just by education, which makes Chen Dingtian very troublesome, this Zhou Lichun is obviously not suitable to be a war leader.

"But we don't have a choice!" Chen Dingtian said.

Bismarck was also not able to persuade anything, and was directly silent.

Chen Dingtian turned his head and asked Fu Shanxiang: "Shanxiang, how is our old disabled travelogue published?" ”

Fu Shanxiang replied: "This time we adopted a strategic roundabout way to issue, we spread from Guangdong to the north, and changed the route, so that the Qing court did not have time to react at all, and now it is spreading in many places." ”

This time, Chen Dingtian knew that the officials of the Qing court in Jiangsu had been watching him all the time, and he would not let his book spread again. However, although the Qing court thought that Chen Dingtian's distribution channels in Jiangsu had been blocked, it did not expect that Chen Dingtian had chosen a strategic roundabout strategy. Chen Dingtian handed over the manuscript from Shanghai to the British, and the British brought it to Hong Kong. It was then printed in large quantities from Hong Kong and then distributed directly in Guangdong. Even when Guangdong spread all the way north, those Qing courts were simply unable to prevent it. The Qing court only subconsciously thought that the route from Shanghai to the west was to send it, so that they thought that even the land blockaded by Shanghai would not allow Chen Dingtian's books to be sent.

However, Chen Dingtian's strategic roundabout means first spread from Guangdong to the north, so that the travelogue of the old disabled person has been greatly developed. From Guangdong all the way to the north, there is basically no obstacle along the way, all the way from Guangdong, Fujian, Zhejiang, all the way directly here to Jiangsu, even Henan, Shandong and other regions, directly causing some repercussions in the local area.

Of course, there is nothing wrong with this old disabled travelogue, but it also depends on who it falls into. Originally, everyone may just think of it as a novel, but it fell into the hands of someone who shouldn't have fallen into the wrong hands, and it turned out to make things bigger.

In Henan, Wu Ren, who had just been about to take up the post of the Qing Dynasty's minister in Yarkand, saw this old remnant's travelogue and immediately slapped the table.

"Bastard, asshole, asshole!" Uren said angrily.

This Woo Ren may be subconsciously regarded as a Japanese by ordinary people, but he is an out-and-out Chinese, just a minority. Uren is a Mongolian Zhenghongqi person, and he can be regarded as a banner man. However, this flag man is different from the ordinary flag people, and the general flag people don't like to learn the traditional Chinese culture of Cheng Zhu Lixue, because there are many channels for the flag people to enter the office, and they also scoff at those difficult Cheng Zhu Lixue, and few flag people are willing to study seriously. However, this Woren is famous for Cheng Zhu Lixue, Woren is a traditional Confucian, and a banner man has actually become a Confucian, which obviously makes people feel a little out of place.

But in fact, he was known for his Confucianism, and he was also known as a traditional conservative leader. He is one of the leaders of the conservative diehards, and he is famous for relying on Confucianism, and he is able to become an official only by relying on his profound Confucian skills. So although he was a banner man, he was definitely one of the leaders of the highest echelons of the Manchu conservative literati. And when he read this old man's travelogue, he was so angry that he was angry.

"This actually said that I waited for the Qing officials to harm the people, bastard!" Uren said angrily.

"Woohito-sama, what's wrong?" The attendant next to him immediately asked.

Wu Ren pointed to the old man's travelogue and said: "This actually said that we are waiting for the Qing officials to harm the people, and we are working hard for the way of Confucius and Mencius, asking for the people's lives, and establishing a heart for heaven and earth, how can it be said that it is harmful to the people?" He actually said that we are waiting for the Qing officials to harm the people, which is really unreasonable. This is definitely an anti-Confucian and Mencian book. ”

That's right, this old disabled person's travelogue is an out-and-out anti-Confucian and Mencian anti-science book, and this old disabled person's travelogue is essentially attacking those clean officials, not corrupt officials. This old disabled travelogue is specifically aimed at those clean officials, and the old disabled travelogue points out that once the clean officials harm the people, it is definitely more terrible than corrupt officials. In this way, once the clean officials harm the people, then they are more terrible than the corrupt officials. Anyway, in order to achieve the goal of "justice" in the hearts of those clean officials, they can do whatever it takes. Qing officials harm the people is more crazy than corrupt officials, and this old disabled travelogue is to say that this clean officials harm the people, specifically hacking those clean officials.

Even this old remnant's travelogue further criticized the corruption of Cheng Zhu Lixue, believing that Cheng Zhu Lixue had turned a group of Qing officials into people who harmed the people. However, the book that directly pointed to Cheng Zhu Lixue's nose and scolded him in this way, so that how could Wu Ren, who had always believed in the traditional Cheng Zhu Lixue, stand it, and directly began to scold.

"My lord, this is just a little talker, just for fun, what's there to care about?" The person next to him persuades.

I have to say that in fact, many people originally regarded this "Old Disabled Travels" as a thing for fun, and the things contained in it are incomprehensible to ordinary people. However, Uren is a person who understands, so he has seen far more than the average person. Of course he couldn't accept it, this book was directly aimed at Cheng Zhu Lixue, so he naturally had to prepare.

"Go back, let's go back to the capital, I want to tell the emperor about this matter, and let the emperor ban the spread of the old man's travels!" Uren shouted.

Wu Ren actually gave up the idea of going to Yaerqiang to take office, and went directly back to the capital to ask Emperor Xianfeng to order the ban on this "Old Disabled Travels". When Wu Ren reported the matter, Xianfeng was really angry, and this directly began to fire at Cheng Zhu Lixue. Supporting Cheng Zhu Lixue, that was the policy of the Ming and Qing dynasties, and Cheng Zhu Lixue also helped the emperor to fool the people and harm the people, so of course he had to support it. Whoever dares to oppose Cheng Zhu Lixue is in the face of the direct emperor.

"Who wrote this book?" Xianfeng asked.

"Your Majesty, this person's pen name is 'Dongfang Er', and I don't know who it is."

This "Dongfang Er" is the pen name that Chen Dingtian gave himself. Because Chen Dingtian knew that if he used his own name as a signature, he would definitely be found and banned by the Manchus soon. But he soon had a way, using a pen name! The pen name is not a thing that everyone drinks too much in ancient and modern times, and it is easier to change a pen name than to change pants, why doesn't he use it.

This "Oriental Ear" is actually a novel that Chen Dingtian read that later generation of Old Man Jin, and the pseudonym of Emperor Qianlong in it is also "Oriental Ear". Of course, the reason why Chen Dingtian wanted this name was actually to use the idea of "holding the oriental cow ear". As for Chen Dingtian's surname is also Chen, so the word "Chen" is an ear word plus an east character, so that the Dongfang ear is just right.

But Xianfeng and the others had never heard of this pen name, so naturally they didn't know that it was Chen Dingtian.

"Bastard, there was Chen Dingtian and Chen Thief who wrote an anti-book before, and now there is another Oriental thief, is it really against me that God has to fight against me? I have appointed you to be the reviewer, responsible for reviewing all the books in the world. And abolish all anti-books, and anyone who dares to hide anti-books will be severely punished. I grant you the sword of Shang Fang, you can slash first and then play! Xianfeng said.

"Command!" Uren replied.

Wu Ren took over the sword of Shang Fang and obtained the identity of a "review envoy", responsible for reviewing and banning the world's anti-books, which means that all books in the world must pass his review in the future, and if there are anti-books, they must be banned. Now that he has obtained this status, and can obtain the power to cut first and then play, he is naturally not welcome. In particular, the Manchu literary prison was notoriously serious, and the Manchu literary prison was the craziest time, and everyone was very afraid of this literary prison. This time, Uren gained the power to cut first and then play, which means that he has no scruples about killing people.

After getting this appointment, Wu Ren hurried all the way to Shandong, preparing to use Shandong as the first stop to ban the destination of this "Old Disabled Travels".

"Mr. Chen, the imperial court appointed Wu Ren as a review envoy, responsible for banning all anti-books in the world." Fu Shanxiang said.

Chen Dingtian said indifferently: "Let him check, let a stale person like Wuren investigate, it will just make things worse, not better." So if I let an old official come to check, I won't be at ease, but let this Wuren check, it will only make things worse. Don't forget, I wrote in "The Travels of the Old Remnant" that once a clean official harms someone, it is definitely more terrible than a corrupt official. Confucianism is old, and he is really more miserable than the old official Youzi, and the people will be even more desperate for the Qing court at that time. On the contrary, the old official Youzi will handle this matter better, so that it will not have too many good effects. This pedantic and incompetent stale man is my greatest helper! This time, Xianfeng made a mistake, he actually let this kind of old-fashioned person do this kind of thing, it was simply the wrong person. The so-called is not afraid of god-like opponents, but afraid of pig-like teammates. This time, Xianfeng actually chose a pig-like teammate, that is, he was going to be unlucky. A pig teammate is often more terrifying than one more god opponent. ”

Chen Dingtian heard that this Wu Ren was responsible for banning this "Old Disabled Travels", but he was more relieved, what kind of pedantic old master is Wu Ren, he will just make things worse, this kind of pedantic person has a very poor ability to do things, but he is even more incapable of doing things than those old officials. The old official may not be a good thing, but he is definitely very good at doing things, and he can often satisfy the interests of all parties. On the contrary, this kind of old master, once he becomes pedantic, he will not recognize his six relatives. This kind of person will definitely want to offend people, but they will make things worse and let them come to check and ban, and the things that are not big will make them even bigger.

So Chen Dingtian is more relieved, this kind of old master is his best "friend", if he doesn't let these old masters mess around, how can the people stand on the opposite side of the Manchu Dynasty? Corrupt officials harming the people is not necessarily the most terrible, and clean officials harming the people are no worse than corrupt officials. Only by letting the Qing officials harm the people is the most important means to crack down on the corrupt Cheng Zhu Lixue.
