Chapter 363: Burning Down Donglin Academy (Fourth Shift)
University scholar Ganglin also ran out of the inner courtyard at this time: "What's going on, how could Feng Zhongtang be stabbed to death!" ”
Hong Chengchou also looked at Ganglin with a sluggish expression, and let out a sigh: "Back in the middle hall, this thief originally wanted to kill Xiaguan." ”
Soon after, the regent Dolgon and the auxiliary prince Zilharan arrived, and they were all horrified.
Even Shunzhi and Xiaozhuang were extremely shocked.
And the Hanchen in the entire Manchu Qing Dynasty were the most fearful, because in the core department of the Qing Dynasty, they could actually infiltrate Zhu Ming's spies, and directly assassinated a scholar.
Zhou Ze, as the deputy commander, also learned the news soon after, and took advantage of the night to hug each other and inform Han Ran of the news.
Han Ran informed Qianhu Wei Cong, the head of Jinyi Wei in Beizhili, through his handover, and then Wei Cong forwarded it to Mao Weizhang, who arranged for someone to deliver the news back to Beijing.
When Zhu Youzhen learned of this news, all the chaotic parties in the country had been eradicated.
King Yong has entered the military academy of the Ming Army, King Ding has entered the household department to study with Liu Wanchun, and King Hui has followed the new Huang Zongxi, the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites, to inspect the restoration of the new policy of social education in the world.
The Manchu traitorous national treasure has also been taken to the execution platform to accept Ling Chi's punishment.
It was only at this moment that Tu Guobao realized that his life was near.
July is the hottest time of the day, and even being exposed to the scorching sun is a kind of torture, not to mention the pain of being cut under the scorching sun.
Tu Guobao roared in pain, he didn't want to scold Zhu Youzhen anymore at the moment, he only shouted at the executioner:
"Master, I beg you, I beg you, I beg you, you can just let me die with a knife, let me die, woo!"
"Shut up for me, I don't call me a master, I don't have a slave in the Ming Dynasty, let you die, let you die, what do I do to make money, who let you go out of the country and serve the Tartars!"
The executioner sighed as he spoke: "But it's a long story, there have been a lot of traitors in recent years, in previous years, we who specialized in executioners were difficult to meet once in three years and two years, but now it has been several times in the past few years, and I have cut off a prince and a county king, and now there is still you, the chief soldier, I still have to recruit a few more apprentices." ”
Tu Guobao was already dying on the second day, but he couldn't help crying: "Zhu Youzhen, no, Your Majesty, I was wrong, I was wrong, I will never betray the interests of the Han family again, I was really wrong, woo, please, let me die, let me die." ”
Zhu Youzhen naturally couldn't hear the voice of Tu Guobao at this time.
He will never be lenient about the handling of Han 0 traitors.
In this era, the Chinese people, who are deeply influenced by the Confucian idea of moderation and utilitarianism, rarely take the nation and the country to heart, and he must use this most harsh means to let these people know the fate of betraying their people.
As soon as Tu Guobao was executed, it meant that the major case set off by Chongzhen in the past 20 years was completely over.
Tranquility has once again been restored to the entire Ming Dynasty.
The gentry in Jiangnan and even the entire civilian-bureaucratic clique no longer dared to resist Zhu Youzhen, and most of the so-called Manchu spies disappeared or acted more hidden.
Zhu Youzhen no longer worries about his personal safety.
At this time, no one dared to take the risk of disobeying him, His Majesty the Emperor, and most importantly, the deposition of the crown prince and the killing of Guan Shaoning and others had made these political forces who complained about them have no chance to seize power or approach them and have to disappear.
Even, in order to continue to increase the cultural control of Jiangnan.
Zhu Youzhen has issued an order to characterize the Donglin Party and even the Fushe and Duanwen Literary Societies as reactionary organizations.
All local literary societies were immediately canceled, and members were forced to withdraw.
Those who play the banner of the Duanlin Society will be removed from the fame at the least, and the people will be assigned to the east.
At the same time, Ruan Dayue even suggested that the imperial court burn down the Donglin Academy, the general base of reactionary organizations such as the Donglin Party and the Fu Society, and the Duan Literature Society.
When the government and the opposition heard this, they were greatly shocked, and many officials and scholars went up to defend themselves.
However, Zhu Youzhen approved Ruan Dayue's recital.
He even ordered Ruan Dayue to be the chief envoy and Ma Jixiang, the commander of the Central Command of the East Factory, to be the deputy envoy, to lead the 500 battles of the East Factory to Wuxi County, Changzhou Prefecture, and burn down the Donglin Academy.
The reason why Zhu Youzhen asked Ruan Dayue to make a special trip was because he knew that only Ruan Dayue, who hated the Donglin Party to the core, would do his best to destroy the Donglin Party and even the entire Donglin Academy, the holy land of the gentry and literati in Jiangnan.
Ruan Dayue took Ma Jixiang and rushed to Wuxi Donglin Academy non-stop.
When Ruan Dayue arrived at Donglin Academy, some scholars who still insisted on advocating the political ideas of the Donglin Party also rushed to try to prevent Ruan Dayue from burning down Donglin Academy, and even did not hesitate to scold Ruan Dayue.
Ruan Dayue was naturally not afraid, and directly asked Ma Jixiang to take the Dongchang soldiers to directly tie up and drag all these soldiers who tried to resist out of Donglin Academy, and then personally mobilized the guards of Changzhou Mansion to demolish all the Donglin Academy, poured the entire academy with fire oil, and then used dry firewood to help burn, and it was a hot summer, Donglin Academy was burned for a day and a night.
Eventually, Donglin Academy became a rubble field.
The last monument of the Jiangnan literati was directly destroyed.
Many scholars couldn't help but cry, and some cursed that Donglin Academy should have been burned a long time ago.
In any case, from now on, private groups will not have a chance to control the government.
The Ministry of Rites also began to officially decree that the establishment of private academies and private organizations and groups in various places must be registered with the government, and if they are political organizations, their political ideas must be recognized by the imperial court, and all those who contradict the political ideas of the central government of the imperial court are reactionary organizations, and the local government has the obligation to suppress them.
Far away in a remote place, Shi Kefa also learned the news that the imperial court severely cracked down on the civilian group and even became more and more strict in cultural control, and for a while he couldn't help but be scolded, denouncing Ruan Dayue for causing chaos in the country, and the Ming Dynasty will definitely lead to the destruction of the country and so on.
Fan Jingwen also played a note, and said directly: "If Your Majesty doesn't kill Ruan Dayue, I'm afraid that the world will be uneasy, and he will definitely be taken by the Manchu Qing Dynasty one day!" ”
Including Liu Zongzhou, Qi Biaojia, etc., they said that if they didn't kill Ruan Dayue, the gentry would definitely be dissatisfied.
Zhu Youzhen was so angry that he threw all these notes to the ground:
"Both inside and outside the court think that I am doing perverse acts, thinking that if I don't kill Ruan Dayue, it will definitely lead to the boiling of public resentment, saying that the Ming Dynasty will be destroyed, but in fact, the local people are actively preparing for production without complaining;
There are more and more gentry who come to the central bank of the Ming Dynasty to trade, and more and more people go to sea, and they are busy making money.
The hundreds of officials were busy standing in line between King Yong, King Ding, Wang Hui, and King Hui, and they were also following the butts of Gao Hongtu, Ruan Dayue and others to bet on their political future, how could they say so exaggeratedly, why didn't anyone believe that I could win this war and prevent Jiannu's southern expedition from succeeding! ”
"I know that they want me to lose, they want me to retreat, they want to tell me that what they said is right, that they are right to respect civil officials, that I need a victory now, and I need to prove that I am right!"
When Zhu Youzhen said indignantly, Wu Mengming walked in: "Your Majesty, the exact time for the Qing army to go south has been set, it is October 16, and the commander is Hong Chengchou!" There are 800,000 total troops, including 600,000 in the Green Battalion and 200,000 in the Eight Banners of the Manchurian, Mongolian and Han Army, which is known as one million to the outside world! ”
Thank you Liufeng 100 book coins reward, hahahaha, I didn't eat at lunch, I have been busy preparing for the explosion, there is already a book friend's dragon set used, Daming Jinyi Wei Baihu, the concubine of Zhou Zezhi, the deputy capital of the Qing court, and Zhou Ze at the same level, this is the fourth Miss Xuancheng Bosi of the Ming Dynasty, and his brother is the head of the Daming Jinyi Wei Beijing Qianhu Wei Cong, responsible for the assassination of Hong Chengchou.
