Chapter 995: Ahead of Your Thoughts
Some people may ask a question, are those forcibly recruited women so willing to serve the Qing court? Even chastity has been sacrificed, are they willing?
Qian Qingjian knew that of course they were unwilling, but the lives of their family were pinched in the government, and they didn't dare to disobey.
Kangxi's instructions to Ruidong were to put a long line to catch big fish, which corroded the backbone of several Heaven and Earth Societies, don't rush to a showdown, don't let them turn back immediately, and gradually deepen their control over them.
Since it is not yet known how many masters are as brave as Jia Jindao, we need to investigate slowly, find out in detail, make sure that everything is ready, and then gather and annihilate in one fell swoop.
So Aokitang passed the test of wine, and recruited a few new anti-Qing righteous people, and even brought the "sisters" and "cousins" of the righteous soldiers, and were also married back to Ginkgo Hutong by Fengji, Jia Laoliu and others, for which Jia Jindao also held a three-day banquet.
Qian Qingjian is very aware of this, but he doesn't know what to do, just play it as a game, play it to the end, and then surprise all the players - oh, it turns out that everyone is busy for nothing - this is somewhat interesting.
On this day, Qian Qingjian was reading tea under a willow tree in the courtyard, and saw Jia Jindao outside the courtyard in the martial spirit, and brought a middle-aged scholar in his thirties. It was known that the person who came was Chen Jinnan, the chief helmsman of the Heaven and Earth Society, so he said first: "Chief helmsman Chen, come in." ”
Chen Jinnan's heart sank when he heard this, and he said secretly: "This person has extraordinary ability, and what Jia Jindao said should be true." ”
Entering the courtyard gate, Chen Jinnan spoke first: "Heaven and Earth will Chen Yonghua take the liberty to meet the masters, and please forgive me." ”
Jia Jindao immediately apologized: "I'm really sorry big brother, I will have strict rules in heaven and earth, and I have to tell the chief helmsman the truth about that day." ”
Qian Qingjian waved his hand and said with a smile: "I already know, it's nothing, don't be so polite to Master Chen, there are no tall and dwarves here, since you can afford me as an idler, come over and have a cup of tea." ”
Chen Jinnan turned sideways slightly, "Golden Knife, you go out first." Then he walked to another tree stump next to the log coffee table and sat down, and said, "Don't dare to ask, what do you call the master?"
Qian Qingjian said with a smile, "You don't need to ask the name, I'm just an idle cloud and a wild crane, and Mr. Chen can just say what he means." ”
Chen Jinnan clasped his fists in salute and said: "Yonghua is here, firstly, to thank the master for helping my brother Aokitang kill Aobai, and secondly, I want to ask the master for his views on the great cause of opposing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty. ”
Qian Qingjian said indifferently: "Ao Bai was killed by Jia Jindao, don't thank me." I don't have any high opinions, it's your business to oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, and it has nothing to do with me in general, because I only oppose the Qing Dynasty and do not restore the Ming Dynasty. Also, don't call me a high-ranking person, I'm about the same size as you, we're all high-ranking people, why bother talking about it?"
Chen Jinnan was stunned when he heard this, as early as when he first arrived at Ginkgo Hutong, Jia Jindao made a comprehensive report to him, and also mentioned the concept of this master's anti-Qing Dynasty and no return to sight, but he always thought that this scholar was just joking, since he was anti-Qing, how could he do it without regaining his sight?
The ancients acted most carefully and justifiably,
At the moment, he asked tentatively: "Sir, please forgive Yonghua for his foolishness, what Mr. said is against the Qing Dynasty and will not restore his sight, could it be that Mr. himself wants to be the emperor?"
Qian Qingjian smiled disdainfully: "Emperor, is it really fun to be an emperor? I also have to guard against the ambitions of his courtiers to usurp the throne, I have to prevent my clan brothers from breaking the wall, and I have to suppress the opposition forces everywhere. When I returned to the harem, all I saw was a woman who was oppressed by the power and made a smirk, and the court was in power, but what I couldn't see was the bloody outpouring between the harem women. gave birth to children, and her daughter was coaxed and deceived and couldn't get any sincere care, and her sons fought to the death for the throne. There is no family happiness until death, this is the fate of the emperor, whoever loves to be who, anyway, I don't look down on this position. ”
Of course, Chen Jinnan didn't know much about the life of the emperor, but after all, he was full of poetry and books, so he also felt that what Qian Qingjian said was true, but in this way, he was even more puzzled and asked, "Since Mr. doesn't want to be the emperor, then after the overthrow of the Manchu Dynasty, who will sit in this country?"
Qian Qingjian said: "Are you born willing to be a cow and a horse for others? Why do you have to find an emperor to ride on the head of the Li people? There are absurd and unscrupulous people, such as Shang Xuan, ****, Song Hui, Ming Wu and other faint monarchs, their existence is the nightmare of the people of the world, what do you want such an emperor to do? Even if there are occasionally one or two people who can be diligent in government and self-denial, like Emperor Chongzhen, who are stupid people who do not know how to know that people are good at their duties, they still make the people of the world miserable. Let me ask you, is it the goal that you will strive for in heaven and earth to support a Han emperor to harm the people of the world?"
Chen Jinnan couldn't help but be speechless, and said after a while: "Of course we want to support a Ming Jun ......"
Qian Qingjian decisively interrupted Chen Jinnan: "Mingjun can appear if you want to support him? If nothing else, I'll ask you, Chief Helmsman Chen, do you think you have the talent to rule the people of the world?"
Chen Jinnan shook his head again and again, and said, "Yonghua never has this talent, and he never has this idea. ”
"Hehe......" Qian Qingjian sneered, "Could it be that your master Zheng Jing or his two sons Zheng Kezang, Zheng Kexuan are Mingjun's materials?"
It is said that on the day of the meeting between Qian Qingjian and Chen Jinnan, Zheng Zhilong was already dead, that is, Zheng Zhilong's son Zheng Chenggong had also been dead for ten years, and the power in Taiwan was inherited by Zheng Jing, who was originally a greedy and lustful person, who had fornicated with his nursing mother, and was depressed after several defeats in attacking the Qing Dynasty.
Zheng Jing's two sons, Zheng Kezhang and Zheng Kexuan, are also unsuccessful, the former is mediocre and cowardly, the latter is arrogant, and neither of them has the talent of a prince, let alone sitting in the world to command the people.
How could Chen Jinnan not know the embarrassment of this, but he was valued by Zheng Chenggong in his early years, and he personally created the Heaven and Earth Society with Zheng Chenggong, Wan Yunlong and others, and worked hard for more than 20 years, and he had already branded the belief of loyalty to the Zheng family in his heart.
Since he knew who his master was, he felt that Qian Qingjian's questioning could not be dealt with, and he pondered for a moment before saying: "Sir's words are very reasonable, but as the saying goes, birds don't fly without heads, and people can't have heads, no matter what group or family or country, there should always be a leader to restrain and manage, right?
That's a good thing to say. Qian Qingjian agreed with Chen Jinnan's point of view for the first time, "So I think the ideal world should be to find one or more public servants of the people, so that they can be willing to be the servants of the people of the world, and serve the people like cattle and horses, instead of riding on the heads of the people as masters!"
"The people, the people's servant?" Chen Jinnan repeated these two novel words, and then asked, "Is this possible?"
Qian Qingjian said with a smile: "Why can't it? As long as the people's servant has the slightest idea of being above the people, he will be slaughtered like a cow and a horse!"
Chen Jinnan wondered, "I'm afraid this won't work, right? Since someone can be above the people, then he must have unshakable power, and who can slaughter such a servant of the people?"
Qian Qingjian laughed, and then said proudly: "Me!"
