Chapter 62: Sit back and wait for the real person to get up
Kunshan Huazang Temple, with Gu Yanwu and Jiangnan Dahao's "Puming Toutuo" Guizhuang is writing a sacrificial text.
Since returning to Kunshan from other places six years ago, Guizhuang has lived in seclusion in Huazang Temple, but does not eat the temple supplies, and only sells calligraphy and paintings to make a living.
Although he became a monk, he did not recite Buddhist scriptures, did not worship the Bodhisattva, drank and sang wildly every day, sang long and short songs, and swayed vividly.
It's like a wine and meat monk.
Only this is the surface of "Toutuo", and Guizhuang privately uses Toutuo's identity to often secretly travel to and from Hushan, secretly contact with those who have restored the Ming and the righteous in various places, and sneak to Zhoushan twice in the first and second years of Kangxi to contact Zhang Huangyan.
The purpose was to persuade Zhang Huangyan to persuade the Zheng family to support Lu Jianguo as the emperor to continue the Ming Zuo and not break off the orthodoxy of the Ming Dynasty.
Just as Wang Wu persuaded King Han to be the emperor at the beginning, it was to give the world a hope and a reason to persevere.
The Ming Dynasty is still there, and the emperor is still there, and he is the only hope for loyal people in this era.
However, Zheng Jing not only did not accept the people from all over the country to discuss together, but instead stopped the Lu clan and moved the Zhu Ming clan to live in other places, so that the kings of the Ming family could no longer influence the generals of the Zheng army, and in fact announced that they had nothing to do with the Ming family, so that the legal system of the Ming Dynasty was officially severed.
Otherwise, even if there is only one place in the Ming Dynasty, Taiwan, and the orthodox emperor of the Ming Dynasty continues, even if it is a puppet of the Zheng family, it is unknown where history will go in the future.
There are King Han and King Dong'an in Kuidong who can support the emperor, but the loyal camp is too small, and in the heavy siege of the Qing army, even if the influence of the emperor is limited.
Only the Zheng clan can be maintained by holding the party at sea.
Zheng Jing's indifference not only made Zhang Huangyan lose confidence, but also chilled the hearts of people who had regained their sight everywhere.
Seeing that the Manchu Dynasty had occupied the whole of China, and the hope of recovering the country was becoming more and more slim, some unwilling people turned their hopes to Wu Sangui in the southwest.
After the death of Shunzhi, the Qing court did not allow Wu Sangui to enter Beijing to pay homage, only allowed him to set up a shed outside the capital city, and in the past two years, the Qing court has successively withdrawn some power from Wu Sangui's hands, and even everyone in Yanjing City is discussing when the imperial court will cut the feudal domain, when Wu Sangui will rebel, which makes the people who have restored their sight see hope from it.
If the contradiction between the Qing court and Wu Sangui, the most powerful Han vassal king, can be provoked, it may not be impossible to force Wu Sangui to rebel.
If Wu Sangui rebelled, the southwest would immediately break away from the control of the Qing court, and even force the Qing court to abandon the encirclement of the Kuidong region and reduce the blockade of the anti-Qing rebels on the coast, which would undoubtedly be of great help to the cause of restoring sight.
Cha Rulong's dedication to Wu Sangui with a blood book was influenced by this thought.
Gui Zhuang also heard about this matter, but he didn't think that Wu Sangui would be the hope of the Ming Dynasty's recovery.
Because this person is a snake and a rat, he can't be trusted at all.
As far as matters are concerned, when the Qing military entered the customs only in Gyeonggi, Shi Kefa of the Hongguang Dynasty wrote to Wu Sangui to lead troops back.
And today the world is owned by the Qing court, Wu Sangui's territory is only Yunnan and Guizhou provinces, the population is less than one million, and the armor is only tens of thousands.
Don't do it when you can't, and do it when you can't.
I don't believe it.
Therefore, he has a negative attitude towards contacting Wu Sangui, and he is almost desperate for the cause of restoring his sight.
Although the mainland still has the Xishan Loyal Battalion to insist, everyone knows that those people will not last long.
It is said that there are only a few thousand people left in the loyal Ming army, and the previous recovery of Wuchang was even more false.
If it is really a heavenly room, Guizhuang can only be a person who has served for life, and he is all loyal to the Ming room.
The memorial text written on the table is to mourn the "fugitive" friends Pan Tazhang and Wu Yan.
"Escape Society" is the Hidden Poetry Society, which is the meaning of temporarily escaping the hidden conspiracy and moving again.
The original founders of the "Fugitive Society" were Wu Zhenyuan, Wu Zongqian and Ye Hengjuan, the leaders of the Anti-Qing Righteous Army.
After the martyrdom of the third duke, it was continued to be presided over by Gu Yanwu, a friend of Guizhuang, and nearly 50 members joined the society.
However, the "fugitive society" completely ceased its activities last year because the backbone members Pan Tazhang and Wu Yan were executed by the Qing court in Hangzhou Bijiaofang Lingchi for the "Ming History Case", and the relevant posthumous manuscripts were burned.
The Ming Dynasty historical masterpiece "Ming Historical Records", which was considered by Jiangnan scholars to be comparable to Sima Qian's "Historical Records", was also searched and burned by the Qing court, leaving no words in the world.
Everyone sighed: "Since then, there has been no true history of the Ming Dynasty." ”
The deceased has passed away, the confidant has gone, if the great Jiangnan, there are only a few members of the fugitive society, which makes Gui Zhuang more and more sad.
Thinking about the heroic scene of Pan Tazhang and Wu Yan enduring torture in prison, but never giving in to the Qing court officials, I can't bear to write.
Before leaving, Wu Yan said to his younger brother who came to visit: "I will soon be tortured by the Tartar Lingchi, and at that time, only the skeleton will be left when the flesh and blood will be separated, and there will be many pieces of corpses separated by the executioner, but I am afraid that you will not be able to tell which one is me." But don't be afraid, I have marked the word fire on the two strands, and when you see it, you will know that the piece of meat is me. ”
What perseverance!
Why did Pan Tazhang, Wu Yan and others participate in the compilation of the history of the Ming Dynasty, just because they want to leave the true history in the world!
After the Hongguang Dynasty, hundreds of thousands of words were written by these righteous people.
They were powerless to expel the Tartars, so they could only make this history of continuous struggle for nearly twenty years known to future generations, and not to lose the long river of history.
However, none of the painstaking works existed, and there is no word left.
Thinking of this, Guizhuang was even more sad and inexplicable, and the brush in his hand trembled, a drop of black ink fell on the paper, and then several tears soaked the back of the paper.
Endure the grief in his heart, and write a few lines of poetry.
"The Chinese have become razor, and it is better to live than to die. The body hated is tired, and the desire to die is even more stopped. ”
The handwriting is a little sloppy, but it is done in one go.
Wipe away your tears and write again.
"Gao Tang has two white heads, and three men are now only sons. I won't look back, and I will rely on it in my last years? ”
Thinking about the fate of the clan and the death of his father, brother, wife and sister-in-law, Guizhuang burst into tears, picked up the wine pot on the table and poured it violently, but he drank all the wine in the pot.
The wine is hot, the face is hot, and the heart is hot.
splashed ink, and another sentence appeared on the paper - "Endure and steal, sit back and wait for the real person to get up!" ”
After writing, he abandoned the pen on the table, pushed the door and called the "neighbor" Xiao Shami, who had slept in the house not far away: "San'er, would you like to buy another pot of wine for Toutuo!" ”
"I said Toutuo, do you still want to make me scold the masters?"
A little novice of fifteen or sixteen years old walked to the door with his shoes on, and although he was reluctant to buy wine for Napumintouta, he nevertheless walked towards his house.
It's just that this head asks him to sell paintings every time, and he will give him a few pennies every time.
"I said Toutuo, can't you drink a little less, if you are really drunk and make trouble, the masters will scold me when you make trouble."
"Go quickly, make two pots, and the rest will be yours."
The sound of Puming Toutuo was heard from inside the house, and a small bag containing money was thrown outside the door.
"Wait."
Xiao Shami picked up his wallet and checked it, and found that there were a lot of copper coins, so he couldn't help but be a little happy and walked to the courtyard door to pull the bolt, and was about to go to drink, but saw several people standing outside.
One of them was about to knock on the door
Author's note: Whether it is reading history or reading, there are few descriptions of the literati who restored the Ming Dynasty and resisted the Qing Dynasty during the Shunzhi and Kangxi periods, and the deeds of some martyrs are unknown.
Because of the main framework story, it is a great regret for the author not to intersperse too many descriptions of such characters.
