Chapter 50: Serving the World
The three of them sat down again, and Ma Mingyuan said to Zhu Hongsan: "Brother, I'm sorry, you Zhuangzi will send someone out. Go to the county town to inform your second cousin Feng Ziyong. Let the three of us talk about the past and present, how can this great talent be missing."
Zhu Hongsan muttered, "He is also a talented person?" But he still got up and went out to find a servant to inform Feng Ziyong.
The three of them had been chatting together for less than half an hour when they saw Feng Ziyong running in from outside and said while running: "Where are the virtuous brothers among the people?"
Ma Mingyuan and Chen Zilong hurriedly stood up to welcome Feng Ziyong. Only Zhu Hongsan was sitting there carelessly. Ma Mingyuan said, "Miss San, get up and welcome your second cousin."
When Zhu Hongsan saw that Ma Mingyuan was unhappy, he felt that his first confidant had to give him face, so he stood up slowly.
After Feng Ziyong entered the house, he greeted Ma Mingyuan and Chen Zilong, he saw Zhu Hongsan standing beside him at first sight, and snorted with his nose. Then he and Ma Chen and they sat down.
Whether in terms of age or fame, Feng Ziyong was respected, so he naturally sat in the upper seat. Then Chen Zilong and Ma Mingyuan sat in the second seat and the second seat respectively. Zhu Hongsan had no choice but to sit down.
Feng Ziyong said to Zhu Hongsan: "If you don't have any etiquette, don't let Xiaofang prepare a banquet."
Zhu Hongsan curled his lips and went out to arrange the banquet without mentioning it.
Seeing that Feng Zhu and the other two were not very harmonious, Ma Mingyuan asked, "How did your second cousin treat the mistress like this?"
Because there were outsiders present, I couldn't mention my own scandal. Feng Ziyong said, "Second brother, you don't know. This Zhu Hong is lazy and greedy, and I'm so angry that I'm so angry. I have the opportunity to talk to you in detail."
Then the three of them talked about Fenghua, snow and moon together (it was really Fenghua, snow and moon, not what you thought).
After Zhu Hongsan made arrangements, he explained to Ma Xiaofang and then returned to the main hall. Sitting next to him, he heard the three of them talking about poetry and songs, and he was dozing off.
When Chen Zilong saw Zhu Hongsan like this, he smiled and said, "It seems that my brother doesn't like poetry. But on the way here, I heard Brother Zhongming talk about your Langtaosha, which is very grand."
Zhu Hongsan smiled and said, "Don't make fun of me, I think poetry is a trivial path. Now the world is in chaos, and it seems that it cannot save the country by relying on poetry, songs and essays. Just like someone, who is obviously a county magistrate, wants to make some romance and romance, and tens of thousands of refugees outside the city are dying every day. What is the use of such a Jinshi master?"
Feng Ziyong's face turned pale and pointed at Zhu Hongsan with his fingers and couldn't speak.
Chen Zilong asked, "So, according to my brother, what should we do if the world is in chaos now?"
Zhu Hongsanyi saw his performance moment, and he didn't say anything about how to convince Chen Zilong.
This is the food and food. Ma Xiaofang came to the main hall with her belly straightened and arranged the food. Ma Mingyuan couldn't help but see that his sister was pregnant. In this way, his Ma family would have greater say in front of Zhu Hongsan.
Ma Xiaofang is now eight months old and she is really inconvenient. She goes down to rest after meeting her.
Zhu Hongsan first poured wine for the three of them, then sat down and said, "The eldest brother among the people should have heard my second brother that my knowledge and knowledge are all learned secretly. I heard Mr. Yangming's unity of knowledge and action. This is how the boy understood it. The unity of knowledge and action should be based on knowledge as the main trunk. The behavior and flesh and blood are missing are not the true essence of Mr. Yangming. But what is the Ming Dynasty like today? Everyone regards knowledge as everything, and scholars sit down and discuss it. Talking about some big talk, saying some theories one by one, but if he really wants to do specific things, it is not a bullshit."
Zhu Hongsan's words are equally combat-capable, and basically scolds all the scholars in the world. You should know that the three of them here are all ruling groups, two juren and one jinshi.
The three of them turned red, and Chen Zilong said, "What should we do if Brother Yi?"
Zhu Hongsan raised his glass to drink with the three of them and said, "Three brothers, I am a vulgar person, and I will not talk about the great principles. I think the saint's words are correct in unity of knowledge and action. In addition, in the past year, I saw the miserable experience of a large number of refugees around Wuchang. I think the saint's knowledge of unity of knowledge and action is the prerequisite for action, and action is the practical application of knowledge. So I summarized a sentence, that is, practice is the only criterion for testing the truth."
All three of them were shocked when they said this. This was a further sublimation and refinement of Wang Yangming's theory of unity of knowledge and action.
Zhu Hongsan smiled in his heart when he saw the three of them: "Of course, the chief designer's words will certainly suppress you."
A long time later, Chen Zilong stood up and bowed deeply to Zhu Hongsan, saying, "Today's words are no less than those of a saint, which makes me see. Actually, I have this idea, but mine is practical. Although my name is different, the core theory is similar to that of a mistress."
Feng Ziyong said on the side: "What the mistress is right, but according to what he said, the world is not all people of interests. Everything is about interests. How can the world educate the world?"
Zhu Hongsan said: "As my second cousin said, talk to you every day, and wait until the Qing Dynasty outside the pass comes in? Then everyone will destroy the country and destroy the seeds. You scholars shaved their hair and changed their clothes, and just leave a pig tail behind your head every day? Then you can educate the world?"
This sentence is even more powerful than the one just now. In fact, in the eyes of scholars, whether the Ming Dynasty will die or not has nothing to do with them. Li Zicheng still has to rely on scholars if he owns the country. However, Confucianism's body and hair are subject to the parents' arrangement, and after thousands of years of education, it has penetrated into the daily life of the Han people. If they really want them to shave their hair and dress, then the things they have fought for for the rest of their lives will be meaningless.
What happened in the future also verified Zhu Hongsan's words. When the Qing Dynasty first entered the pass, there was actually no resistance in the north. What everyone thought was that it was just a change of emperor. The farmers still farmed and paid taxes, and scholars were still studying and becoming officials. However, after Dorgon issued the shaving order, all the whole north and south rebelled, and some local officials who had surrendered in the area immediately rose up to resist the Qing Dynasty. The Qing Dynasty was in a mess. In other words, there was no effective minister or general in the Southern Ming Dynasty, otherwise the world would be unknown.
After the brutal suppression of the Qing Dynasty and the massacre of Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, the Han people were reduced from more than 100 million people in the late Wanli period to 14 million people in the early Kangxi period. Here we should remember that Sun Zhixi, the Han minister of the Qing Dynasty, was this traitor who caused a large number of deaths of the Han people. He should always be nailed to the pillar of shame for the Han people.
However, Sun Zhixie had no good ending. After the founding of the Qing Dynasty, a large number of Han intellectuals criticized Sun Zhixie. With the unremitting efforts of the Han ministers, he was deposed and sent back to his hometown Zichuan. But don’t think it was over. After returning home, he happened to catch up with the uprising of SD Xie Qian and others and attacked Zichuan City. Sun Zhixie’s family was killed by a hundred men, women, young and old, and were killed by angry people. "All of them were extremely lustful and tragic." Sun Zhixie himself was tied up for more than ten days.
The five poisons were prepared, and the scalp was covered with fine holes. People rushed to use pig hair to re-transplant him. Finally, they sewed his stinky mouth tightly with a big needle, dismembered and cut him to death. "Alas, the villain is also a villain. When his family is together, a hundred people are afraid that the 16 states will be cast together, and it will not be a mistake!" Even the Han officials who served in the Qing Dynasty were gloating. What's even more pitiful is that after his death, the Qing court said that "the robbery has been cut off" and "not to be polite."
So it’s okay to do something bad, but don’t make mistakes in the general direction. History is fair and will give you a review that suits you.
(To put it here, Xiaosheng is not a royal Han Dynasty, because the Han people did a lot of troubles themselves, but after each dynasty was unified, it basically had a period of great development for more than 100 years. I won’t talk about the Han, Tang and Song dynasties. In the late Ming Dynasty, intellectuals had broad vision and actively learned advanced Western technology. That is, the Qing Dynasty had no progress at all, and many of the cannons used during the Raven War were cast during the Three Feudal Rebellion.
After the Raven War, the rule of the Manchus was greatly weakened. With the dominance of Han intellectuals such as Zeng Guofan, Li Hongzhang and Zuo Zongtang, the Westernization Movement and the so-called Tongzhi Revival. Many people on the Internet said that China's current territory was basically laid by the Qing Dynasty, which is correct.
But this is just the basic obligation that the Qing Dynasty should fulfill as a dynasty. This is why Yuan Shikai treated the Qing Dynasty well after the fall of the Qing Dynasty. However, the merits and demerits cannot be compared. The Qing Dynasty made the inheritance of China for more than 260 years and this serious crime could not be resolved. Xiaosheng's wife is a Manchu. Is this considered revenge for the Han people? Don't leave, I have to avenge the Han people twice, haha.)
Zhu Hongsan said a word from the three of them were stunned. They could not imagine how to survive without their faith. Ma Mingyuan asked, "This is unlikely. The world is in chaos now. But my Han population is still hundreds of times that of the Qing Dynasty, and Shanhaiguan has always been among the Iron Cavalry of Guanning. What you said will not happen."
Zhu Hongsan said: "Of course it is impossible now, but if the north continues, the emperor will definitely transfer the Liaodong army into the pass to suppress the rebellion. That is unknown to the world."
Chen Zilong said firmly: "If I really want to be as my brother said, then Zilong would rather die than shave his hair."
Zhu Hongsan thought to himself: "I believe you without saying that, I also believe you. This is what you did in history."
Chen Zhilong continued, "I heard my brother's words today and it was really shocking. Now many scholars are just as my brother said. When I return to Nanzhili, I will contact knowledgeable people to write letters to the court, and I must save this stormy world."
Zhu Hongsan curled his lips and thought: "A knowledgeable man? He will basically die in a few years, and he will surrender to the Qing Dynasty even if he does not die. In addition, Chongzhen, the ruthless master, is mean and polite, and he will be able to listen to you.
