In the Muen Hall, the family temple of Confucius Mansion in Qufu, the contemporary Yan Shenggong Kong Yuqi and the hereditary Qufu Zhixian Kong Xingyang and other cadres sat relatively speechless. The Xia army has been blockading the Confucian Mansion for more than four months, and several praises have also been lost, which makes the Kong family, who has stood tall in the successive dynasties as a saint, quite a little panicked.

"The patriarch doesn't have to worry too much." After a long silence, a clan elder comforted everyone. "My Confucian family is a descendant of a saint, and it is a holy place for the seeds of reading in the world, and the emperor is sage, of course he will not be offended, I am just worrying about the sky."

Kong Yuqi smiled bitterly: "Of course, the emperor will not punish the Kong family, but the lineage is ??????."

Kong Yuqi shook his head: "The Manuscript of the Shaving Head is a stain on the life of my grandfather, although my grandfather died early in shame, judging from Wu Chengye's political methods, he will definitely not forget the ?????? of the Confucian family's captivity."

A clan elder said angrily: "The world has been circulating for generations, but the five virtues are alternated, my Confucian family takes the purpose of protecting the cultural fire, why not, how can I serve the ??????public if I am convicted by this?"

"I have heard that the Emperor of China does not like the teachings of the saints, and he disturbs the way of talent promotion." Another Kong clan elder also said catharsically. "It must not have the heart to respect the saints, otherwise how can it do the tyranny of the descendants of the saints."

"Okay, what's the use of saying that." Kong Yuqi looked helplessly at these clansmen who could only sprinkle. "The handle of the knife is in someone's hand, if you really want to deal with the Kong family, what can I do." Kong Yuqi sighed. "Now I just ask the emperor to plan for thousands of generations, lift it high and fall gently, otherwise it will be unimaginable."

As he was talking, several low-status clansmen hurriedly broke in, and without waiting for Kong Yuqi to be angry, he shouted for one person: "Grandpa, the angel of the imperial court has arrived outside the mansion??????"

Kong Yuqi was so shocked that the words of rebuke on his lips immediately became: "Quick, gather the clansmen, visit the incense case, and receive the ??????."

Looking at the dense Confucian family kneeling behind the incense case, the palms of Liu Jian, the herald's pedestrian, were sweating, but at this moment he represented the majesty of Zheng Kezang and the dignity of the Chinese court, and he could not tolerate any gaffes, so he had no choice but to support his physical discomfort, and slowly raised the edict in his hand and read it out:

"On the order of Tianjing, the emperor said: Qufu Kong, the most holy ancestor after King Dachengwen, should maintain the context to defend the Chinese Taoism, but the saint also has unfilial descendants, shaving things to defile the name of the religion, this, betraying the ancestors and treason is an unforgivable crime, and now the sixty-fifth generation of Kong Yinzhi, the sixty-sixth generation of Kong Xingxie, and the sixty-seventh generation of Kong Yuqi are taken away from the title of the Holy Duke, and among the saints and Miao descendants, all those who have done evil deeds are removed from the genealogy of the Kong family, and they will never be forgiven and ??????."

It is nothing to kidnap the title of Duke of Yansheng, Kong Yuqi has long been mentally prepared for this, and it doesn't matter if he is exiled to the borderlands, it is just a little hardship. However, it is terrible to remove the name from the Kong family genealogy, this is to ask the children and grandchildren to bear the sins committed by the ancestors, which can be described as extremely cruel. Therefore, Kong Yuqi rolled his eyes and fainted to the ground, and there were hundreds of people present who were also doing the same. Liu Jian didn't look at this, but continued to read it out.

"The hereditary Qufu Zhixian is a pseudo-post given by the former Yuan, and the former Ming Dynasty did not succeed and allowed the attack, which is really a great Miao, and it is a foolish act of praising evil and suppressing good?????? The sacrificial fields given by the past dynasties were originally for the continuation of the saint's offerings, but the Confucian family was greedy and shameless, and merged neighbors to evade national taxes and enrich themselves, which was another big sin, so they were anxious not to have the sacrificial fields and private fields given by the previous Ming Dynasty??????"

At this time, not only a large number of people of the Confucian clan fainted, but also many servants under the Confucian Mansion also fainted - these wealthy servants used the signboard of the Confucian Mansion to steal the land of decades or even generations, and they were confiscated by the Chinese Imperial Court in a blink of an eye, so why didn't they make them angry? However, seeing that Xia Jun, who was armed to the teeth, was looking at him coldly, they could only cry and curse in their hearts, but they didn't dare to say a word "no" on the bright side.

“?????? The ugliness of the Kong clan is difficult to match the name of the Holy Prince, but it is reduced to the Holy Uncle, the same county uncle, after the princes, and the most sage of the two sects of the Kong clan in the north and south alternately inherited?????? The two hereditary doctors of the Pentateuch in the north and south will be re-elected, and their academic conduct will be investigated, and both can be conferred on them with merit??????"

Almost at the same time as the crying in the Confucian Mansion soared to the sky, a similar scene also appeared in the Yasheng Mansion of Zou Cheng and the mansions of the Yan and Zeng clans, who were hereditary doctors of the Five Classics, and all the patriarchs who accepted the positions of the Qing court and flattered the Qing court were all assigned to Liaodong, Hetao, Yungui and other places by Zheng Kezhang on the grounds that the descendants of the saints committed the crime of traitor and added one class.

After Zheng Kezang's disposition of Confucius, Mengfu and other saints came out, it naturally aroused discussions among scholars from all over the country, but because Huaxia has recovered all the rivers and mountains in Guannei, this time there is a trend of two-level differentiation in public opinion, some people still think that Zheng Kezang's delay is too harsh, not the reason for respecting saints, but some people think that saints are saints, and the descendants of saints are saints, and the two should not be confused, and the more saints and descendants betray the nation-state, the more severe punishment should be given.

However, Zheng Kezhang did not pay much attention to this trend of discussion among Shilin, in fact, his attention was completely diverted by another more important matter - on the 23rd day of the first month of the fifteenth year of Wucheng, the Military Ship Department of the Ministry of War reported to him that there were four 25,000 (15oo tons) first-class cruisers, six 22,000 (13oo tons) second-class cruisers, six 18,000 (11oo tons) third-class cruisers, A shipbuilding package of more than 60 warships, including four 15,000 (9oo tons) fourth-class cruisers.

"Qing and the others have a really big appetite." Looking at the cost table in his hand, Zheng Kezang's face turned a little white, he had just cut off the 6 troops of ten divisions, and the naval division used all the four million military expenses that were expected to be saved in the coming year in one go, and they had to subsidize an additional 1.5 million guan into it, which was really too much for the Chinese imperial court to bear. "Is it necessary to mount twenty cruisers at once?"

"Holy." Ma Yuan, who was escorted back from Xibo Nidu to serve as the commander of the military department, replied in a firm tone. "Before, due to the needs of the Northern Expedition, the sailor has not built a cruiser-level ship for five consecutive years, and now it is just to make up for the previous losses, and now the saint wants to expand the number of sailors, this original shortage has not been filled, and now the hole is even bigger, if you don't speed up shipbuilding, I'm afraid that you won't be able to achieve the goal of the imperial court to include the South Seas."

Covering the South Seas is to be a long time with the European naval powers, but the Xia army's largest warship is only a 66-gun first-class cruiser with 18,000 materials, and although its firepower is second to none in East Asia, it is still a great deficiency compared to the battleships of the 90-gun or more class that Britain, France, the Netherlands and other countries have long been equipped with, not to mention that they still have a numerical advantage.

"Qing reminded me." Zheng Kezhang also remembered the Battle of Cam Ranh Bay that year. "It is true that there are more guns than fewer guns on the sea, and the big ships are better than the small ships. It's just that the cost is too great. "The cost of a first-class cruiser equipped with one hundred and four large and small guns is nearly 500,000 yuan, and Zheng Kezhang has just made a fortune from the war, and he can't stand the toss." After calculation, this year's shipbuilding cost of the sailor is probably tens of millions. ”

Ma Yuan replied calmly: "The minister has calculated, as far as the Arsenal Division is concerned, excluding the maintenance fee of the shipyard, the reserve fund for the increase of materials and the additional reserve (unmeasurable fee), the cost of this year is 1,1033,418 guan and 127 wen. ”

Zheng Kezang frowned, Ma Yuan only calculated part of his own accounts, in fact, there are more than ten items of expenses, such as the salaries of officers and soldiers, the maintenance expenses of the naval division (training and cruising expenses), the reserve fund for the repair of the ships of the naval division, the maintenance expenses of the town guard office, the maintenance expenses of the Longxiang Army and the Fubo Army, the pension, the pre-deposit fund for war expenses, and the additional reserves of the military department, which add up to at least 20 million yuan a year, which is almost the largest gold-swallowing beast in China's finances like the military expenditure of the 6th Division.

"Well, just once." After thinking about it repeatedly, Zheng Kezhang finally reluctantly decided to allocate funds, after all, only when the previous money was spent can it drive other aspects to produce benefits. "Next year and the year after, only four cruisers will be allowed to be started." Zheng Kezang's words are actually not like an order but like a plea. "The imperial court really can't afford extra money."

Ma Yuan, who had achieved his goal, said with a smile: "The Ministry of War built these twenty cruisers to meet the needs of the new Fifth and Sixth Cruisers, and as for the two fleets after they are formed, even if they want to replace the small cruisers of the existing cruisers with large ships, they will not be in a hurry, so please rest assured that the Holy Lord will not drag down the finances of the imperial court." ”

After getting Ma Yuan's confirmation, Zheng Kezhang breathed a sigh of relief, but he still warned vigilantly: "Is it that the cruiser is less built?" ”

Ma Yuan, who was seen through by Zheng Kezang, smiled: "Please rest assured, the saint will stop building twenty cruising boats next year." ”

Ma Yuan didn't tell the truth, the so-called construction of 20 cruise ships is true, but it is a large cruise ship with more than 10,000 materials, which is not much different from the so-called fourth-class cruisers, and is much larger than the first-class 8,000-material cruiser of the Huaxia Navy Division today, and naturally has more guns.

However, Zheng Kezhang didn't care about this, after all, the cost of four 54-gun fourth-class cruisers was only worth a first-class cruiser, so even if Ma Yuan built twenty large cruisers that were exactly the same as fourth-class cruisers, there would not be much pressure on the finances of the Huaxia Imperial Court.

"By the way, has the ship of the Heilongjiang Inland River Division already been built?"

"If you go back to the Holy Lord, ten eight-gun red single boats have been built in the shipyard of Ishikagawa Port." Ma Yuan responded. "At present, all of them are mothballed in the dry dock of Zài, and they are only waiting for the sea ice to melt before being towed to the Miaotun line. In addition, the boat yard of Miaotun has also been prepared, only after the beginning of spring can be started, after the completion of the use of the surrounding forests, to reach an annual output of more than 25 eight-cannon red single boats, and at the same time can repair eight. ”

"Ten? It's too little, and then let the Ishikagawa Port Shipyard build two sixteen-gun red single boats. "It's not that Zheng Kezang doesn't know the inside of the Heilongjiang River, it's really not good, and it can also be used to shield the estuary and defend against the small brigs of the Russians." In addition, once the imperial army arrives along the Songhua River, the construction of relevant shipyards should also be put in the first place. ”

"Holy Lord, rest assured, the minister's side has made a plan, and will never delay the formation of the Songhua River fleet."

Zheng Kezhang nodded: "That's very good, Qing and the others have a heart." ”

Zheng Kezhang then asked in depth on the issue of the expansion of the naval division: "Has the military department brought the plan for the expansion of the naval division?" ”

Ma Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then replied hesitantly: "Minister, although the minister heard a little rumor, he didn't know the final plan, and this time he came to the Northland, which coincided with the New Year's Seal, so he ??????."

Zheng Kezhang interrupted with a smile: "Qing didn't say that I forgot, I came out of Wuchang before fifteen, Qing is still really anxious, are you worried that if you are slow, my money bag will be emptied." ”

Zheng Kezang's cold joke made Ma Yuan dare not answer, only to hear Zheng Kezhang laugh at himself: "That's it, that's it, it's over, Qing Saddle Ma is tired, rest for a day or two and then go back to Wuchang, as for the expansion of the water division, I will send someone to the military department to understand, Qing kneel down and settle down??????"

ps: After the Yuan destroyed the Jin, the Yan Shenggong canonized by the Jin Dynasty was the hereditary Qufu Zhi County.
