Chapter 173: Ten Years
Ten years is not a long time, but it is not a short time either. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info ten years, can change a lot of things.
Chen Ji completed the migration plan of the White Lotus Sect. In ten years, he really moved tens of millions of people to Taiwan and Southeast Asia. To this day, the White Lotus Sect's work of relocating the people is still continuing.
According to Chen Ji, these lands in Southeast Asia are very fertile, and it is better to let the White Lotus Sect occupy them than to cheapen those white European colonists. Doing so can at least expand the living space of the Chinese nation.
The Southern Ming Dynasty died four years ago. Except for a few backbone scholars such as Chen Zilong and Shi Kefa, who sacrificed their lives for the country, the rest of the scholars surrendered to the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
In particular, the Donglin Party, headed by Qian Qianyi, was the most spineless. They only have family interests at heart. As long as the Manchu court did not infringe on the interests of the scholars, they did not care. Even though Dorgon had decreed that his hair should be shaved and made it easier to wear before his death, they still gave in, abandoned their Chinese clothes, and kept their money rat braids.
Nanjing, Qianfu.
Although the Southern Ming Dynasty was destroyed, Qian Qianyi's life did not change in any way, and he still lived a life of fine clothes and food.
Three days ago, Qian Qianyi received news from several friends from Beijing, asking him to enter Beijing as an official.
The official position is not low, and he is a waiter in the Ministry of Etiquette.
Qian Qianyi wanted to go north as an official, and Liu Ru was very resentful. It's a pity that she can't stop Qian Qianyi at this time.
"Madam, the lord is here. The maid said to Liu.
Liu Ru frowned, she didn't want to see Qian Qianyi now.
Without waiting for Liu to speak, Qian Qianyi had already walked into the room.
The maid hurriedly saluted Qian Qianyi: "I've seen the master." ”
Qian Qianyi nodded and said, "Okay, you go down first." ”
When the maid left, Qian Qianyi said to Liu Rus: "Hedongjun, I know that you have an opinion about the old man, and you don't want me to go to the Qing Dynasty to be an official, but I really have a reason to go." ”
Liu Ru snorted coldly and did not speak, obviously not forgiving Qian Qianyi.
Hong Chengchou's surrender to the Manchu Qing Dynasty opened a wave of surrender of the Ming civil officials. Qian Qianyi's reduction in the Qing Dynasty gave a fatal blow to the literati who were a little virtuous in Da Ming Shilin.
From now on, the reader will no longer have integrity. They only servile, and even frantically maintained the rule of the Manchus.
"Hedong Jun, the imperial court has ordered that next year will follow the old system of the previous dynasty and take the imperial examination. The Ming Dynasty is dead, but the world cannot die, and we, the scholars, must also shoulder the responsibility of inheriting the Zhou rites. Qian Qianyi said with a serious face, "The old man went to Beijing to serve as a waiter in the Ministry of Rites, just to prepare for the imperial court. As the leader of the southern scholars, the old man can't help but go. ”
Qian Qianyi felt that as long as the Manchu court respected Confucianism and could ensure the interests of the scholar class, then there would be no difference between the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty.
Even if the Qing Dynasty is a foreign race, he is willing to serve.
Liu Ru sneered: "Qian Muzhai, of course you have your reasons. As the leader of the Donglin Party and a model of scholars in the south, you are only eight buckets high, and I am just a little woman, how can I say anything about you? Ten years ago, Chen Ji's eyewitness technique did not stare you to death? Chen Ji, Da Mu, and Zhang Huangyan, they are still anti-Qing and have not yielded, so why don't they have those reasons for you?"
"Mu Zhai, do you know? I really see through you now, if it weren't for the fact that my daughter was still young, I would really want to leave the Qian family and leave. ”
Qian Qianyi said loudly: "Hedongjun, Chen Ji and Zhang Huangyan, the old man admits that they have some ability, but it is impossible for them to fight against the Qing Dynasty. Chen Ji, as the leader of the martial arts world, has martial arts and swordsmanship, but that is his personal achievement, and it has no effect on the general trend of the world. Otherwise, Chen Ji would not have been driven to Taiwan and would not have dared to show his face for ten years. ”
People are forgetful.
Ten years is enough for many people to forget Chen Ji, and there are very few who remember that Chen Ji is the leader of the martial arts world.
After all, Chen Ji has been in Taiwan for ten years and has not shown up again.
Many peerless masters even think that Chen Ji has gone mad and died violently. When Chen Ji attacked Shaolin alone, the grandmaster of Shaolin Temple was clear about Chen Ji's "demonization".
Liu Ru said with certainty: "Chen Ji is in Taoguang, and there are tens of millions of people under his command now, do you think Chen Ji will be afraid of the Manchu court? What's more, Dolgon is already dead." ”
Qian Qianyi was silent for a while and said, "Hedongjun, I must go to Beijing. I made such a decision, you don't understand now, you will definitely understand in the future. ”
After speaking, Qian Qianyi turned around and left.
Liu Ru said coldly in his heart: "Qian Muzhai, no matter how highly educated you are, if you have no backbone, others will look down on you." You won't be an official in the Manchu Qing Dynasty for long. ”
........................
In an inn in Nanjing, a young and handsome young man with two beautiful girls was eating.
The three of them carried long swords, and at a glance they knew that they were people from the martial arts world.
They didn't show their martial arts, and the others didn't know that they were disciples of that sect.
"Nanjing City is the ancient capital, the Ming Dynasty, very prosperous, I didn't expect it to wither like this now. The Manchus ruled Nanjing for just over four years, and it became what it is now. The young girl took a bite of the dish and said with a sneer.
The handsome young man said: "The Manchu court was arrogant and rude, they were afraid that the Han people would resist and implement high-pressure rule, and if anyone dared to be dissatisfied with the court, the court would kill them." In the past ten years, the Manchu court has killed countless people one after another. The lives of the people here are like hell compared to the people under our White Lotus Sect. ”
The young girl said: "Zhu Cihong, what you said is right, in Taiwan and Southeast Asia, which my eldest brother governs, the people live a much better life than the people here." Now the poorest people under the command of the White Lotus Sect have more than fifty taels of silver at home. It's like where the Manchu court ruled, the people were buying and selling their daughters. ”
The older girl glanced around and whispered, "Sister-in-law, this is not Taiwan and Southeast Asia, but Nanjing, you must not call my brother's name again." It would be bad if the Manchu court knew who we were. When we came to Nanjing this time, we secretly ran out behind our masters' backs, and we must not have an accident. ”
It turned out that these three people were Zhu Cihong, Zhu Yujiao, and Chen Xin.
They were tired of staying in Taiwan, and took advantage of Chen Ji's retreat to sneak out without Zhang Mingyue.
Chen Xin sneered: "What are you afraid of, the three of us are all martial arts masters, and Zhu Cihong has mastered the sword with qi, as long as we don't run into Ao Bai and Luo Ping, almost no one in the Manchu court is our opponent." Besides, the Ming Dynasty is finished, and Zhu Cihong, the former crown prince, is no longer popular. ”
Zhu Cihong smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, there are still many peerless masters in the Manchu court. Ao Bai and Luo Ping are very powerful, but this is only on the surface, secretly, their martial arts masters are afraid that there are no less than fifteen. Even that Bishop Smith was in the service of the Manchu Tartars. Therefore, the strength of the Manchu Qing should not be underestimated. ”
Zhu Yujiao nodded hurriedly, agreeing with her brother's statement.
In the past ten years, the White Lotus Sect has relocated tens of millions of people, and its strength has increased greatly, and the number of special forces has reached 3,000.
Among these 3,000 people, the weakest ones are second-rate martial artists. Among them, the number of first-class martial artists accounts for one-tenth, and there are four martial arts masters.
There are many martial arts geniuses in Minglun Hall, including Wang Xu, the helmsman of Taiwan, and there have been six martial arts masters.
Wang Xu's talent is the highest, and he is about to reach the level of a peerless master.
There are many masters, coupled with the continuous expansion of the territory, and there are more than 10 million people under his command, and the White Lotus Sect can be said to be full of confidence. Whether it was facing the European colonizers or the Manchu court, they were not afraid at all.
However, the White Lotus Sect is growing, and the strength of the Manchu court is also increasing.
The Manchu court not only cultivated martial arts masters by itself, but also had close relations with Indian Buddhism and Brahmanism, and many martial arts masters were also born.
Especially Ao Bai and Luo Ping, in the past ten years, the martial arts of the two of them have reached an unfathomable level. It is possible to become a great master at any time. I have to say that the two of them are also martial arts wizards, but the light of these two people was covered up by Chen Ji.
Chen Xin sneered: "Hmph, what's so great about the Manchu Tartars." When my brother becomes a Grand Master, they will have to finish all the fun. ”
Zhu Cihong said: "I'm just worried about Ao Bai and Luo Ping, I don't know if they have become great grandmasters?"
Zhu Yujiao said: "There shouldn't be." Brother, you are too worried, if Ao Bai and Luo Ping become great masters, I am afraid that they would have gone to Taiwan to find trouble with their master and ancestor a long time ago. ”
Zhu Cihong nodded and said, "That's right." ”
However, Zhu Cihong still has worries in his heart.
If Chen Jixian becomes a great grandmaster, everything is easy to say, if Ao Bai and Luo Ping become great grandmasters first, the White Lotus Sect will be in big trouble.
"Sister-in-law, sister, we've been out for a while, and we must rush back to Taiwan next month. The master's spiritual cultivation will soon be out of the customs. We have to rush back before the master is out of customs. Zhu Cihong said.
"Don't worry, when we go back, my eldest brother must not have been out of the customs yet. Chen Xin said with a smile.
Chen Xin was not afraid at all in his heart, even if Chen Ji knew that they were sneaking out to play, what could they do?
It's a big deal to be scolded.
A middle-aged man came over and said to Zhu Cihong: "Young master, I heard the news of Qian Qianyi, he is going to Beijing to be an official, and it is said that the official pays homage to the waiter of the Ministry of Rites." ”
Zhu Cihong is Chen Ji's descendant disciple, and after he became a martial arts master, he began to take over some rights from Zhang Mingyue.
Although they came to Nanjing to play, they still visited the Nanjing rudder.
With the help of the rudder to find out the news, it is much more convenient for them to do things or play.
Zhu Cihong nodded and said, "I know." ”
When the middle-aged man left, Zhu Cihong said: "Sister-in-law, sister, this old thing Qian Qianyi is actually going to Beijing to be an official and serve the Manchu Tartars." Do you say, do you want to kill him, or stop him from going to Beijing?"
After Chen Xin heard this, his eyes lit up, and he nodded: "Pay attention." Qian Qianyi, this old guy, used the army to encircle and suppress my eldest brother in Nanjing, which is really unreasonable. Now that he is a traitor seeking glory, since we have learned the news, we naturally cannot ignore it. With our martial arts and swordsmanship, it is simply easy to deal with Qian Qianyi. ”
Zhu Yujiao is not as "barbaric" as Chen Xin, she is kind-hearted and feels that it is not good to kill Qian Qianyi. As long as it can prevent him from serving the Manchu court.
"Sister-in-law, we just need to stop Qian Qianyi from going to Beijing to be an official. Qian Qianyi is so old, let's kill an old man, I'm afraid we won't be able to do it. Zhu Yujiao said.
Killing the Manchu Qing Tartars, Zhu Yujiao is by no means ambiguous, but Qian Qianyi is a Han, not a Tartar, killing an old man, Zhu Yujiao is a little reluctant in her heart.
Zhu Cihong decided: "Okay, that's it, stop Qian Qianyi from going to Beijing to be an official." ”
..............................
Taiwan.
Chen Ji is out of customs.
Zhang Mingyue prepared wine and food for him, she watched Chen Ji eat, and asked with a smile, "Why did you get out of the customs so quickly this time?"
In the past ten years, Chen Ji has done a lot of practice in order to sharpen his mind, and even referred to the ascetic method in Indian yoga.
Now Chen Ji's soul is flawless.
Chen Ji's appearance is exactly the same as ten years ago, and time seems to have left no traces on his body.
He said with a smile: "Spiritual cultivation is a bit different from martial arts cultivation. This time, I completely understood the clear mind of Buddhism, and the receipt was not small. Now I can even feel what the innate realm is. It is the simultaneous sublimation of the mind and the body, which can be said to be an evolution of the human body. Even if he is a peerless master, he is only an acquired martial artist, and only when he has reached the innate can he be regarded as truly stepping into the door of martial arts and being qualified to understand and study the mysteries of the human body. ”
Zhang Mingyue said happily: "Xianggong, so you are already a great grandmaster?"
Chen Ji shook his head and said, "Not yet." However, if I want to break through, I can do it at any time. I plan to sharpen my body and internal strength a little more, make the foundation more solid, and then break through. The stronger the foundation of martial arts, the more powerful it will be after becoming a great master. ”
Chen Ji can see a different world now, and the whole world seems to have become more layered and three-dimensional.
When Daoist Baihe comprehended the innate realm, he saw the world and had the same feeling as Chen Ji.
"What about Chen Xin, Zhu Cihong, and Zhu Yu? I didn't feel their breath. Chen Ji asked.
Chen Ji can now sense the breath of the human body within a radius of a kilometer, as long as his cultivation does not surpass him, any peerless master who enters within a kilometer of him, no matter how he hides it, under Chen Ji's perception, there will be nothing to hide.
Zhang Mingyue sighed and said, "They ran out secretly. There is news from the Nanjing rudder that the three little guys are playing in Nanjing City. The three of them are all grandmasters, and although my martial arts are above them, I can't easily defeat them. They wanted to go quietly, but I couldn't stop them. ”
Chen Ji nodded, those three little guys have grown up and their martial arts are high, and Zhang Mingyue is a little powerless if he wants to manage them.
Zhu Cihong and Zhu Yujiao are juniors, and they are a little afraid of Zhang Mingyue, but Chen Xin is a lawless master. In the entire White Lotus Sect, only Chen Ji and Daoist White Crane could control her.
A trace of worry flashed in Chen Ji's eyes: "The Manchu court has unified the country, and Nanjing is the territory of the Manchu Dynasty. The three of them are lawless, and I'm afraid something will happen to them. I'm going to go to Nanjing in person, and I'll leave tomorrow. ”
After the soul is flawless and clear, Chen Ji's intuition is very strong. He had a bad premonition in his heart, thinking that something would definitely happen to the three little guys.
Although Zhu Cihong and they are martial arts masters, there are definitely a lot of strong people who can threaten and hurt them in the Manchu court.
