- "I have arrived at a great city, no, I should say, I have arrived at another great city - like the city I visited before called 'Xinxiang', this city is still a great lord Yu Guozhen, King of China, Lord of the Sea, Uncrowned Ruler of the East, Conqueror of the Tartars, Protector of the Chinese and Protector of all Orientals, reigns. The first night here I was under the flowing water, I fell asleep in the fragrance of flowers. Thank God for giving the world that great lord, who made me forget about the dirty excrement in Venice and the overflowing excrement on the streets of Paris - compared with the people in this city, we The barbarians in Europe are indeed living in excrement."
"I eat four meals here every day. In addition to breakfast, lunch and dinner, there is also a snack at night. The Chinese call it 'late night snack'. They all taste delicious. Chinese people are all artists when it comes to eating. , and their lord, the great King Yu Guozhen, is the most outstanding of all artists, because it is said that many of the delicacies we have tasted are his inventions, just like the vast land he rules Like those magical machines.¡±
"Here I met my senior, Father Tang Ruowang. He had just come from distant Shaanxi, so he was very tired. But he is the most dedicated brother I have ever seen. I hope I can be like him in this mysterious country. To spread the glory of the Lord. This must be supported by the great Lord - so we must try to have a historic meeting with the great Lord. However, from what I understand, the Lord is very important to the Lord. The glory of the Lord does not seem very friendly. May the Lord bless him and influence his heart"
As the Polish Jesuit priest from Europe, Bomig, wrote this, the noise coming from outside interrupted his thoughts. He put down his pen and pushed open the door of the hotel. He happened to see the Chinese in the opposite room also leaving. come out.
"Hello, Mr. Chen." Bu Mige nodded towards the Chinese. He drew a cross on his chest: "May the Lord bless you."
He met the Chinese on the ship. Both of them arrived in Shanghai on the steamship from Xinxiang to kill time during the journey. They had a long conversation, and then, Bumig was surprised. This Mr. Chen turned out to be a student of Xu Guangqi, the late cabinet scholar of the Ming Dynasty, and Xu Guangqi was the one who was introduced to the Holy Sect by Matteo Ricci, the predecessor of Bu Mi Ge, to give baptism.
"Have you heard the noise outside?" Chen Zilong was not surprised by Bu Mige's strange accent. He frowned: "Come on, let's go out and take a look."
He rushed back to Shanghai all the way to prevent those old relatives and friends from getting up to make trouble - in his opinion, it was clearly Yu Guozhen who was leading the snake out of the hole, just waiting for them to come out to cause trouble and then catch them all.
The noise outside now seems to be this.
They walked out of the hotel together, and there were already many people gathering on the street. Bu Mige saw a group of teenagers in uniforms maintaining order. He had stayed in Xinxiang for a while before, so he naturally knew the identities of these teenagers. They were the Chinese Youth Army, an organization formed by Yu Guozhen among the teenagers in the school. They receive certain military training. The most important thing is to receive training in honor and discipline. At the same time, they also have to shoulder some special tasks, such as regular public welfare services or servers at some large-scale events.
To a certain extent, the Cadet Corps supplements the armed militia, of course. Yu Guozhen will not send these seeds of the future to things that are truly dangerous.
It is precisely because of the presence of these young soldiers that the traffic order on the streets, which were originally crowded with people, was not interrupted. The two came to a store, stood on the high steps in front of the store, stood on tiptoe and looked into the crowd, only to find that there were countless people wearing shackles and being escorted one by one.
¡°Parade in the streets to show off to the public?¡± Chen Zilong understood immediately.
There are many disciplinary methods used by the Chinese Military Strategy Commission, among which parading in public is a more commonly used one. Almost all offenders will be paraded through the streets. Yu Guozhen will not save face for those who violate the law. When he does illegal things, he chooses to have no face. Even the lawbreakers themselves do not cherish their own honor and reputation. Why should the victims do it? Are they covering up?
"Are these people all prisoners?" In Europe, Boymig had also seen criminals being taken to the execution ground. At this time, Europeans did not have the pretentious humanity and kindness of later generations - it was just criminals' money. The posturing after washing hands may even be the crocodile tears shed while eating.
"It should be so, pay attention." Chen Zilong said.
Then he saw Sun Jin being held in the crowd.
Sun Jin is now not as embarrassed as when he was first arrested, but his bruised nose and face have not changed for the time being. Seeing him, Chen Zilong was shocked and hurriedly pushed away the crowd and rushed in.
"Mr. Lu Shan, Why is Mr. Lu Shan like this? "
When Sun Jin saw Chen Zilong, he only wished that there were no cracks in the ground, otherwise he would rather get in than let him see his embarrassment.
From the perspective of the scholar Qingliu, Chen Zilong is his junior. From the standpoint of the two of them, he insisted on standing on the opposite side of Yu Guozhen, while Chen Zilong was separated from the front line of the struggle. For a long time, Sun Jin and others have regarded Chen Zilong as a coward. Now he, a "straight man", has fallen into this situation, and Chen Zilong is watching the fun!
But Sun Jin still had some joy in his heart.
With Chen Zilong here, his arrest and humiliation by Yu Guozhen will be known to the scholars. In this way, wouldn't he become the first person in Yu Guozhen's hands to take the imperial stick for the sake of the scholars?
With this reputation out, the leader of Qingliu, the leader of the Confucian Academy, will be unable to escape from the position in the future. If Donglin can be used in the hands of Yu Guozhen, then he will become a representative figure who does his job
Immediately, his little thoughts were thrown away, because he remembered that if Yu Guozhen did not promote the eight-part imperial examination, if they, the scholars and elites, could not force Yu Guozhen to surrender, there would be no chance of success!
Thinking of this, he couldn't help pointing his finger at Chen Zilong and shouted: "Chen Wozi, you have been popular in the world for twenty years in Huating, and now you are just watching the road fail to be polite and sweep the ground? Why don't you fight for our Confucian orthodoxy? But here you are watching the fun with the people in the market?"
At that time, Zuo Guangdou, the leader of Donglin, cursed Shi Kefa who came to visit him in prison. Shi Kefa said that his heart was as solid as stone, and this incident became a favorite among scholars. Sun Jin felt that if word got out that he was scolding Chen Zilong now, he would definitely become a role model for Qingliu.
Chen Zilong was indeed aroused by his words, with an angry look on his face, but just when Chen Zilong was about to have an attack. An armed militiaman in charge of the escort sneered: "Are you just relying on the tricks of pretending to be gods and witches to fight for Confucian orthodoxy?"
Sun Jin and Chen Zilong were both stunned.
The armed militiaman jumped onto a cart and pointed at the items on the cart. He took out a trumpet made of rolled iron and said loudly: "Let's see who these people are. They are the separatists who have been causing riots in various places recently to obstruct our unification of China. Among this group of people, there are ruffians, scoundrels, and some Bandits, strongmen, witches, magic sticks, well, that is the leader of the Longhua Society, Yao Wenyu and Yao Shenxian. What do they use to fight us? These are the things they use, black dog blood, black donkey hooves, ghost talismans, and The cloth used by women during menstruation tsk tsk. This is what they use to maintain the Confucian orthodoxy!"
As soon as these words came out, there was an explosion all around.
Even at this moment, Sun Jin had a look of horror on his face, and Chen Zilong's anger immediately disappeared.
??When did Confucian orthodoxy need to be protected by women¡¯s menstrual cloths!
He looked at Sun Jin. Thinking of Sun Jin's saying that "the method is vast", they can indeed do such a thing.
"This Yao Shenxian from the Longhua Society had nothing at the beginning. He relied on deceit and deceit to save a lot of money. Every year, there are still some foolish men and women. He gave his family property to him in vain. Didn't he call himself a god? Why? To end up like this?" The armed militiaman was sharp-tongued. He pointed at Yao Wenyu and said with a smile: "He is just a liar. This scholar doesn't know where he has read the books of saints and sages for so many years. Liars collude"
Hearing him talk non-stop, surrounded by mocking sounds, Chen Zilong shook his head silently and took a step back.
It turns out that this is the fundamental purpose of Yu Guozhen¡¯s stirring up this storm!
Whether it is the evil gentry in the countryside or the clean people like Donglin, if they want to oppose Yu Guozhen, they have no power in their hands, so they must rely on the power of the Longhua Society and other stubborn men and scoundrels in the countryside. In other words, Donglin must find teammates who are like pigs!
Yu Guozhen not only wants to lure the snake out of the hole and control these old Confucian scholars from the top, but also wants to pull out the fuel from the bottom, destroy their reputation, and make them lose their prestige among the people!
"If anyone else had such a plan, it might be wishful thinking, but Yu Guozhen can really do it. Nowadays, Yu Guozhen has stationed village offices in almost every natural village. One of the important responsibilities of the village office is to publicize the decisions of the Chinese Military Strategy Commission to the people. Before Chen Zilong came, he knew that the village bureaus in Guangdong and Guangxi had received urgent orders to prepare for propaganda - which meant that Yu Guozhen would mobilize the people in every village to plant crimes against the innocent people in Donglin. .
No, it¡¯s not about setting up charges. Just stating the facts is enough to make the people angry.
Thinking of Dong Lin¡¯s actions this time, Chen Zilong has realized that their foundation in the rural market is about to end. At first they opposed the tax inspectors and the eunuchs, and they raised their voices in the streets and countryside, and suddenly hundreds of people became angry.?The support is fierce, and after this incident, no matter how they appeal, the people will be doubtful: who made them collude with the most notorious gangsters, gangsters and evil gentry in the countryside!
Chen Zilong suddenly thought of what Yu Guozhen once said: If you are not afraid of opponents who are like gods, be afraid of teammates who are like pigs.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, go find Yu Jimin and ask him to let me go. Let me go quickly. We must leave some dignity for Ke Xian!"
At this time, Sun Jin also realized that his attempt to invite people to be famous might have backfired.
Compared with the Ming Dynasty in the old agricultural era, the Chinese Military Strategy Commission established by Yu Guozhen was a semi-industrial governing body. When it usually acted step by step, no difference could be seen, but when it was mobilized, its influence increased. It was far beyond what the Ming Dynasty could compare with. No matter how interconnected the evil gentry and scholarly forces in the countryside were, they were still just paper mice in front of the fully mobilized Military Strategy Committee.
It¡¯s a paper mouse, not a paper tiger.
"II'll try my best!" Chen Zilong murmured, took a step back, looked back at Sun Jin, and took another step back.
Can he really change everything if he tries his best?
,please.
