Chapter 629: Can Confucianism and Taoism Be United?
The golden drum is moving, and the carriages and horses are like clouds.
Lin'an Chinese people, full of royal streets. Merchants on the street, incense cases, and hundreds of people stood crowded along both sides of the long street, until they went out of Yuhangmen and listed twenty or thirty miles to the west. It was as if the entire Lin'an millions of people had poured out, sending off the king, who had lived here for more than a hundred years.
The people of Lin'an are undoubtedly the happiest people in the world, and the three-hundred-year tradition of the Great Song Dynasty, in addition to cultivating scribes, is to give preferential treatment to the common people of the first good capital. After moving south, this unique preferential treatment at the feet of the Son of Heaven fell on the Lin'an people.
Even if there are soldiers in other places, the lives of the people in Xingdu are still maintainable. Moreover, Jiangnan has been rich since ancient times, and after the Song dynasty moved south, it was carefully managed. Lin'an has been built into a place of prosperity for a hundred years and rich people's livelihood. It is the years of more than 30 years of war that have not been extinguished, and the people of Lin'an, at least the middle-class families who have lived in Lin'an for a long time and have property and employment, have lived a very leisurely life.
In the troubled times, to be able to live such a comfortable life, the people of the middle-class family in Lin'an are naturally grateful for the kindness of the official family of the Great Song Dynasty. Although like the people of other capitals, the people of Lin'an also like to tell political jokes, and even arrange them as rulers, and they do not have much reverence for the heavenly family. But that kind of heartfelt support is unmatched anywhere.
When the Southern Song Dynasty collapsed in history, there were still more than 100,000 people living and dying with the people of Xingdu, which can be seen in the hearts of the people of Lin'an.
But now, in order to avoid the Ming army that might come from the sea, the Great Song Dynasty officials had to abandon the millions of supporters and move to Hongdu Mansion (Hongzhou) on the shore of Poyang Lake.
And today is the day when the Son of Heaven and the hundred officials leave.
Millions of people who got the news. They all spontaneously went out into the streets, holding back tears. Send the Great Song Dynasty official family!
Because they, the people of Lin'an, are well-informed people. Naturally, I know the strength of Beiming. Not only defeated the Mongols on land, but also restored the Central Plains. On the water, the Ming Navy is even more invincible!
The Yangtze River moat is not a matter at all for Beiming.
Now the official family is leaving Hongdu, also to avoid enemies who may come from the sea.
But since ancient times, what half of the south of the Yangtze River can rely on is not only the rushing water of this river? When the Yangtze River moat is not enough to rely on. The Great Song Dynasty, who has lived in the south of the Yangtze River for more than 100 years, has nothing to rely on?
As soon as the official family goes, I am afraid that there will be no day to return to Lin'an. And the soldiers of the Northland, I am afraid that they will soon come to ravage the rich hometown in the south of the Yangtze River......
As soon as the Son of Heaven drove away from the palace. The people on both sides of the royal street couldn't help but burst into tears. First there was a small sob, and then the crying became louder and louder, and the entire royal street was suddenly shrouded in a miserable rain.
This time it is a big escape, not only the official Zhao Yu, Taishang Zhao Yun, Rongwang Zhao and Rui and other royal nobles are leaving, but the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace are all in front of the palace. The craftsmen under the jurisdiction of the Shaofu Prison, the clan relatives and nobles living in Lin'an, and the civil and military officials of the imperial court are all leaving! And many of them had to take their family servants with them. Other than that. There are also 10,000 Gan Yong who arrived in Lin'an ahead of schedule, and they will serve as escorts along the way.
There were all sorts of fugitives, not 100,000 but 80,000. These people had gathered at Chaotianmen the night before. Then the Gan Yong officer who escorted the guard was responsible for marshalling the team. In addition to the three families of Heaven, Taishang and Rongwang, who are directly guarded by the classes in front of the palace. No matter what position the official worships, they must be formed into a team of 1,000 people. Then it was guarded by 100 Gan warriors. Following the teams of the Heavenly Family, the Taishang Family, and the Rongwang Family, they set off for the first time.
This team. Together with the dazzling flag of the Son of Heaven and passing by, the sound of cries and shouts sounded again and again, reaching the highest peak. But Zhao Yu just sat in the car with a blank expression, as if he didn't know anything and didn't hear anything. Following the car of Emperor Zhao Yun who was following the car of the Son of Heaven, Zhao Yun listened to this cry, but sighed helplessly, and there was a trace of remorse in his heart.
Migrating Rows in ...... It doesn't seem like the best policy, right? The Zhao family is in Lin'an, and the weight in the minds of the people of Zhejiang and Zhejiang is still very sufficient. Lin'an is a fortified city that has been continuously built for more than 100 years, if you don't go...... It may not be impossible to rely on this person's heart, this city and Chen Dexing will fight to the death!
Now, as soon as the Son of Heaven leaves, as soon as the hundred officials leave, most of the hearts of the people in Lin'an and Liangzhejiang are probably gone, right? Once the hearts of the people are gone, how long can the two Zhejiang and Lin'an hold on?
And Hongdu Mansion ...... How much kindness has the Zhao family received in the past three hundred years? Kindness has not suffered, and when the catastrophe is coming, why should he die for the Great Song Dynasty?
After the nobles of the Zhao family, there is a queue of hundreds of officials, and the queue of relatives and nobles of the clan follow each other silently. Although the weeping of the people on both sides was a little slower, the courtiers sitting in the carriages and donkey carts became even more panicked.
For no other reason, the two Zhejiang provinces in the Southern Song Dynasty (including Shanghai, Suzhou, Wuxi and other places in later generations) were not only economically developed, but also culturally prosperous. Famous families of poetry and books abound. When the imperial examination was released, wasn't Zhejiang people accounting for half of the jinshi? At least half of the civil officials in the court are now people who are from the two provinces!
Liangzhejiang is their hometown, their foundation! Now, they have left their homeland and abandoned their roots. But can you say goodbye to your hometown, and the foundation is really abandonable? All they can take away is a small family, and the entire clan has to stay in Zhejiang. If the Ming army enters Zhejiang, what will happen to their clan?
Is it surrender or war?
If it falls, how will these people gain a foothold in Hongdu? If it's a ...... I'm afraid there is a danger of extinction, right?
When the relocation was in the middle of the discussion, most of the officials in Lin'an thought it was good. They don't have to fight against the Ming in Lin'an, Hongdu is ten times safer than Lin'an - if the Ming army really arrives in Hongdu, the Zhao family estimates that there is no territory, so what's the point of fighting again?
But today I really quit my home and traveled far away, and the big guy found out. This one, it turned out that it was not so easy to part.
Listening to the crying voices on both sides of the street, these talented people who used to live in temples, as if words could determine the rise and fall of the world, can only cry in fear.
……
"The most hasty resignation temple day, the church still plays a parting song, weeping to the palace ......"
On the tower of Yuhang Gate, looking at the flow of cars and horses and people that were gradually moving away, Liang Chongru, who was dressed as a Confucian and had a few more vicissitudes left by the years on his face, couldn't help but chant the words of the queen of the Southern Tang Dynasty.
He accompanied the Japanese envoy Hojo to Lin'an 10 days ago. Unexpectedly, it happened to coincide with the great escape of the monarchs and ministers of the Song Kingdom, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites were busy fleeing, who had the heart to care about the affairs of the Japanese envoys? So he assigned Jia Rudao, who stayed in Lin'an, to deal with the Japanese - I thought it was a tribute, so I casually gave some reward and sent it down.
Unexpectedly, Japan is now also making trouble with the Heavenly Taoist Sect, and the Japanese Heavenly Taoist Sect actually seized Heiankyo in one fell swoop and held their emperor hostage. Japan's ruling Kamakura shogunate had no choice but to appoint another emperor and hoped to contact the Great Song Dynasty......
This matter is a big deal, and Jia Rudao didn't dare to send it casually, so he let his confidant and staff, Liao Yingzhong, who served as the counselor of the Liangzhejiang Pacification and Control Department, personally meet with Hojo Real-time and Liang Chongru to discuss.
Today, the Southern Song Dynasty monarchs and ministers left, and the talks were suspended for a day. Liao Yingzhong and Liang Chongru changed into scribes' clothes and watched the Son of Heaven leave on the street, all the way to Yuhangmen.
"Yifu, Da Song hasn't reached this point yet!" Liao Yingzhong said this, but her brows were tighter than Liang Chongru.
Liang Chongru smiled: "It's not to this point, it's almost two years in the next two years." ”
He didn't say this nonsense, but carefully calculated. The scale of the Ming army's southern expedition will not be small, this is a battle to destroy the country! Moreover, it was the Song Dynasty, which was founded for 300 years, that was destroyed, and it was not finished by defeating 300,000 regiments and training troops. It is also necessary to occupy territory, suppress the pro-Song scholars, and support the local forces that are pro-Ming.
Therefore, the preparation work must take a long time, and it will be fast to be able to fight after spring sowing tomorrow. The capture of Lin'an is estimated to be in the second half of next year, and the capture of Hongdu and the destruction of the Great Song Dynasty may have to wait until the year after next......
"Not so much!" Liao Yingzhong still shook his head, "The Great Song Dynasty has its own blessing, and the country will definitely be long, and it is not impossible to surpass the Zhou Dynasty." ”
Liang Chongru sighed and said in a low voice: "So far, what do you want for an eight-hundred-year foundation?" He paused, "Qunyu, you haven't thought about it for yourself?" You seem to have a good relationship with Chen Junzhi, and you also have the grace to support that Chen Sage. ”
Liao Yingzhong was stunned, "Yifu, what do you mean by this?" ”
Liang Chongru unfolded a folding fan and shook it gently, "In the past few years, I have taken refuge in Dongying, in addition to dealing with the monks and warriors in Dongying, I am studying. The pre-Qin classics, the Buddhist scriptures, as well as the novels written by the Dongying people, and of course, the Tiandao classics of Chen Shengren, were all read thoroughly. I still have some experience. ”
"What do you know?"
Liang Chongru said with a smile: "This "Chen Li" is today's "Zhou Li", Chen Shengnai is the successor of the Western Zhou Dynasty, and what he did is a big thing that Confucius and Mencius thought about but did not do - revenge!" Therefore, Chen Sheng can also be regarded as a Confucian saint. ”
"What!?" Liao Yingzhong narrowed her eyes and looked at Liang Chongru. "Yifu, what you said ......"
Liang Chongru shook his fan and said with a smile: "Dongying Kingdom is a country of warriors, and worshipping Buddha and Confucianism also worships the sword in his hand. However, I have been in Dongying for many years, and I have observed its customs and customs, but I know that whether the Japanese people, whether they are ministers, samurai, monks or commoners, what they really worship is actually the strong! Whoever is strong, they will obey whom, the reason why the Japanese people respect our China, is because of the achievements of the Baijiangkou War in the Tang Dynasty. And now Chen Ming's prosperity is still more than the Tang Dynasty, and the Beiyang gunboats are anchored at the mouth of Dongying every three or five days. Therefore, the Heavenly Taoism will flourish in Dongying!
But I also know that the Heavenly Dao of Dongying will never be the same as the Heavenly Dao of the Ming Dynasty, just like the Buddha of Dongying, and the Confucianism of Dongying are different from China. The soul of Dongying is still their own way of martial arts! They studied Buddhism, Confucianism, and the way of heaven, all in order to carry forward their own martial arts way! They can learn the way of heaven as martial artists, but can't we Confucians in China enter the Tao? Dongying's Buddhism and Confucianism can be unified with the way of martial artists, but the Confucianists of China can't be unified with the way of heaven? (To be continued......)
