301 [Smash the statue of Confucius and rescue Confucius]
Zhao Han's large army fleet, after passing Yushan County, had to disembark and walk.
The grain could be hauled away, but the boat had to be replaced. Because the next river, the widest part is only 20 meters, and the narrowest point is only 10 meters, which is a small artificial river connecting the big rivers of the two provinces.
When he arrived in Jiangshan County, Zhao Han received a letter from Zhang Tieniu.
It has been interrogated clearly, more than 300 rebel troops have been ambushing the city of Quzhou for many days, and captured the government and county government in one fell swoop.
Because the rebel army was dominated by talents, plus some domestic slaves and merchants, military discipline was quite strict. They did not kill indiscriminately, but maintained law and order, and then recruited more than 1,000 homeless people to defend the city.
Many of those homeless people are gangsters, and it is these people who are bad!
They robbed the shops in the city and angered the merchants of the city.
And Xiucai, who led the uprising, is also very funny. did not honestly guard the city and wait for Zhao Han to receive it, but took the officials to divide the fields outside the city, and clashed with the big landlords outside the city.
As a result, the merchants in the city and the lords outside the city united to recruit troops to fight back.
The rebels lost four dead and seventeen wounded, and the whole army broke down and fled from the city, and thirty-six were taken prisoner in the flight.
As for those vagrants who were temporarily recruited to defend the city, seeing that the landlord was coming with troops to kill, they directly abandoned the city wall and ran to the city to set fire to the situation, so that they could survive and rob when they were in chaos.
What should I do about this?
Zhao Han arrived at the capital of Quzhou by ship and immediately ordered the release of the captured Xiangyong.
As for the gentry and merchants who suppressed the uprising, they could be extra generous because they did not kill people indiscriminately. They had to pay compensation, and for each fallen rebel, the family received 1,000 taels of silver, and the wounded could receive 300 taels.
In addition, the suppression of the uprising must be punished accordingly.
At the time of the division of the land, the members of these families could only keep ten acres of land each. For a period of 30 years, members of these families are not allowed to obtain a franchise licence and are not allowed to engage in franchise trade. The sons and grandsons of the main sect cannot be officials within three generations!
These are all punishments on the surface, and there will be a special crackdown next.
Seven major clans, find out two of the most evil, and the main sect will directly interrogate the family!
Seeing Zhao Han release those gentry and merchants, Kong Zhenyun, the leader of Southern Confucius, was very happy and was finally willing to come to meet him in person.
"I've seen Mr. Zhao."
Kong Zhenyun gave up, and he had convinced himself in his heart that he was worshipping the Ming General Army at the moment.
Zhao Han was recruited by the imperial court, and to this day, he has fought one after another, and he has not been removed from the post of Ji'an General Army.
"Dr. Kong doesn't have to be polite." Zhao Han smiled and helped up.
Kong Zhenyun flattered and said: "The soldiers of Zhao Zongzhen did not commit any crimes when they came to Quzhou in autumn, and they were the elite of strict military discipline. After saying this, the conversation changed, "There are such elite soldiers in the town, why don't you lead troops to the north to help the court exterminate the thieves and Tartars." will be able to seal the wife and shade, Kuang Fu Sheji! ”
These words did not anger Zhao Han, but only made him feel ridiculous.
Kong Zhenyun said this kind of thing for three purposes: first, to express his loyalty to the Ming Dynasty; second, to preserve the pitiful dignity of Nan Kongna; Third, it was appreciated and recognized by Zhao Han.
Sometimes, if you are disciplined, you are considered to be very talkative.
Just like now, Kong Zhenyun is sure that he will not be killed. Because a commander who can restrain the army and treat the people well must be tolerant, not to mention that he is also a descendant of Confucius.
The Manchu Qing were so cruel that in the face of the Southern Confucius, who refused to surrender, they did not dare to really kill, so they could only let the people of the Northern Confucius persuade them to surrender.
The descendants of the Kong family, the saints, can speak without fear.
Zhao Han laughed, took Kong Zhenyun's hand and said, "Dr. Kong's words are very much in line with my wishes, and the hero sees the same thing!" ”
Kong Zhenyun was stunned instead: "Zhao Zongzhen is really willing to help the imperial court?" ”
"I am willing, I have accepted Zhao'an," Zhao Han said with emotion, "Thanks to Your Majesty's refusal to give up, let me be the chief military officer." Jun's grace is deep, and I remember it every day. Therefore, he worked diligently to sweep away corrupt officials and corrupt officials for the imperial court, and govern all the people in the world for the imperial court. When I have ruled the whole world, I will hand it over to Your Majesty to rule. This so-called, to Jun Yao Shun! ”
As soon as these words came out, no one spoke in an instant.
Even Huang Zongxi and Kuang Lu called Zhao Han the duke in Nanchang, which was really to swear to the death. Hearing Zhao Han speak at this moment, he felt that this lord was too shameless, and he knew the essence of reversing black and white and referring to a deer as a horse.
Kong Zhenyun couldn't cry or laugh, to Jun Yaoshun, he could still operate like this.
Zhao Han said: "There is a war, the military situation is urgent, Dr. Kong will take me to worship the Confucian Temple." There is no need for a full set of etiquette, just bow down, and when you are free in the future, you can come to worship Confucius solemnly. ”
"Mr. Zhao, please!" Kong Zhenyun personally led the way.
Zhao Han came to the Confucius Temple in Quzhou, and when he saw the statue of Confucius in the hall, he suddenly sighed: "Alas! ”
Kuang Lu asked, "Why is the town sighing?" ”
Zhao Han didn't answer Kuang Lu, but turned his head and asked Kong Zhenyun: "Dr. Kong, do you know what I thought when I first saw this image?" ”
"What the town thinks is very human." Kong Zhenyun arched his hand and said.
Zhao Han sighed and said, "I think Confucius is a poor man. ”
Kong Zhenyun's heart was beating wildly, knowing that he had said a lot before, and he must have offended Zhao Han. He stubbornly said, "Please speak up to the town." ”
Zhao Han shook his head and sighed: "Why do I say that Confucius is pitiful? It is just a matter of being tampered with by the corrupt Confucians of the past dynasties, and they are still trapped in the mud fetus for hundreds of years by their own unscrupulous descendants, using magic from outside the Buddhist family, and they will never be able to be reborn! ”
This kind of heart-wrenching words frightened Kong Zhenyun into sweating.
The secretaries who followed Zhao Han were also Confucian children, and they were also stunned one by one.
Kong Zhenyun wiped his sweat and asked, "Why did the town say this?" ”
Zhao Han pointed to the statue of Confucius and said: "Confucianism only provides the wooden master (tablet), and Buddhism only provides statues." Isn't enshrinement of the statue of Confucius a Buddhist spell to trap Confucius in a mud fetus, so that he will never be able to be reborn? Zhang Fujing of the Jiajing Dynasty has argued clearly in the court, and Emperor Jiajing also agreed, and asked Confucius temples across the country to demolish the statues of Confucius. Why hasn't this Nanzong Confucian Temple been demolished? ”
"It's going to be demolished when you turn around!" Kong Zhenyun is difficult to refute, because this is indeed an order of the Ming court.
Kong Zhenyun inherited the official position of Doctor of the Five Classics, and when he returned from the capital, he went to worship the Confucian Temple in Qufu.
The Confucius Temple in Qufu was even more terrifying, not only disobeying the orders of the imperial court, but also openly worshipping the statue of Confucius. Moreover, the "Dacheng Most Holy Master" who was enshrined by the Ming Dynasty is not used, and the "Dacheng Most Holy Wenxuan King" tablet canonized by the Yuan Dynasty emperor is still being enshrined.
Because the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty canonized Confucius as king, he was demoted to a teacher by Emperor Jiajing. Then Qufu Confucius Temple, do not recognize the title of the Ming Dynasty, only the title given by the Yuan Dynasty!
"Woohoo!"
Zhao Han suddenly possessed his body, lamented and wept and said: "Confucius has become a clay sculpture, Confucianism has become a dogma, and Confucianism and Confucius have been imprisoned by evil magic. Zhao Han shouted: "Someone is coming!" ”
The pro-soldiers immediately stepped forward.
Zhao Han pointed to the statue of Confucius: "Give me immediate action, smash the statue of Confucius, and rescue Confucius!" ”
Several pro-soldiers toppled the statue of Confucius and slashed with knives.
This scene made all the readers dare not speak, which seemed very reasonable, and it felt very awkward.
"It's burning!" Zhao Han shouted again.
The soldiers carried the statue of Confucius that had been cut out of the gap and carried it to the open space in front of the main hall, attracting firewood and grass to burn it.
Zhao Han smiled and said to Kong Zhenyun: "Dr. Kong, I have avenged your ancestors for getting out of trouble. ”
And how much more can I thank you?
Of course, Kong Zhenyun didn't dare to refute, and arched his hand: "This Confucianism is true." ”
Zhao Han asked: "Qufu Confucius, is it also enshrined in the statue of Confucius?" ”
"Ranye," Kong Zhenyun took the opportunity to give Beikong eye medicine, "Qufu Confucius Temple, not only enshrines statues, but also enshrines the 'Dacheng Most Holy Wenxuan King' wood master of the Yuan Dynasty." ”
Zhao Han was furious: "How can this be reasonable, the Confucian family in Qufu is still thinking about Meng Yuan, is this a rebellion after the previous dynasty?" When I lead the troops to Beijing, I will definitely pay tribute to His Majesty the Emperor, ask the imperial court to punish the Qufu Kong clan well, and let the Quzhou Kong clan be the Holy Duke of Yan. ”
"The South Confucius and the North Confucius are in the same vein, and the Southern Confucius will never dare to covet the position of the Holy Father." Kong Zhenyun said no, and his heart was already happy.
Throughout the Ming Dynasty, the North Hole has been deliberately pressing the South Hole.
The officials of the imperial court wanted to gain benefits for the Southern Confucius, but they always attracted the opposition of the Northern Confucius. It is nothing more than the fear that the South Kong will become bigger, and the influence of the North Kong is shared.
Even the compilation of family rules and genealogies by Southern Confucius had to be sent to Northern Confucius for review.
Zhao Han is messing around at the moment, and there are only two meanings he really expresses: first, he is not allowed to worship the statue of Confucius; Second, replace the north hole with the south hole.
Kong Zhenyun became more and more respectful and said: "The head town divides the fields, and the Kong family will definitely cooperate." If the town is willing, the old man will go out with the army, so that those who are stubborn and ineffective will know the good intentions of the town 'to Jun Yao Shunshang'. ”
This is the deal, Kong Zhenyun asked himself to be the "Eastern Crusade Persuasion Officer".
Zhao Han smiled more and more happily, took Kong Zhenyun's hand and said, "Those who know me, Dr. Kong too." Everyone said I was a thief, but Dr. Kong knew my loyalty. In this way, the children of the Quzhou Kong family within the five suits can each keep 25 acres of land. The Confucian temple sacrifice field can be reserved for 100 acres! ”
"Thank you for your kindness." Kong Zhenyun thanked him head-on.
No matter which emperor of the dynasty, he gave the Kong family land casually, which is hundreds or thousands of acres.
Zhao Han is good, instead of giving the land, he took back the sacrificial field and only left a hundred acres, which is still a blessing, so that the Kong family can thank him for his kindness.
For Nankong, everything is worth it, and he can get back the hereditary title of "Yan Shenggong"!
On the side of the Heavenly Master's Mansion in Longhu Mountain, there are now rules, guarding the remaining land, relying on the incense of believers, paying taxes honestly, and continuing to live.
The Confucian family in Quzhou will also become like the Heavenly Master's Mansion.
After staying in Quzhou for two days, Zhao Han began to divide his troops. The main force marched towards Longyou County, and then sent a partial division to take Kaihua County in the north.
Kong Zhenyun followed the main army to the expedition, and he wanted to persuade the officers and soldiers to surrender all the way, and by the way, appease the scholars along the way.
On the day of departure, Kong Zhenyun got the news that the sons of the main sects of the Xu and Wu clans had been arrested more than 40 times for public trial.
It seems that it is going to raid the house!
Kong Zhenyun didn't dare to accuse Zhao Han of going back on his word, and since then he has become more honest, and he has worked very hard to persuade him to surrender.
