Chapter 43: Stop crying! (Don’t worry about it, just read on!)
"What "Reverse the Classics"?" Huang Shijie, who was already anxious, shouted with a straight face, "I am a scholar, a scholar...and I am not a rebel, so why are you reading "Reverse the Classics"?"
"Husband, the second volume of "Anti-Jing", "Gentlemen's Opposition" is for scholars..." Mrs. Huang didn't know if she was worried that her husband would ask her if she had been defiled by the Taiping Army, so she was eager to divert everyone's attention.
He simply showed off the few copies of "Anti-Jing" in his hand and said, "In addition, these two volumes of "Anti-Jing" are for Han officials to read!"
"Absurd!" Wang Kuiyi looked disdainful as he took the third volume of "Anti-Jing", "How could the parents of the people of the Qing Dynasty rebel?"
"That's right!" Yu Wanqing also took out the third volume of "Anti-Jing", opened it and read, "You've already become an official of the imperial court, who is still rebelling?"
Huang Shijie's face was ashen. He also took a copy of Volume 2 of "Anti-Jing" from his cheating wife and opened it for a glance, and his face turned dark.
This is his wife's handwriting!
I can't have this wife anymore...I want to kill him all over!
However, Huang Shijie still refrained from falling out with his wife immediately - although her wife's handwriting was good, outsiders had never seen it, so if he didn't tell Yu Wanqing, Wang Kuiyi would not know about it.
Let's first take a look at what this treasonous "Anti-Jing" is saying?
What? There were 430 million people in the Qing Dynasty, but the eighteen provinces of the Han Dynasty only had 100,000 acres of arable land, and the per capita was only a few acres... The geographical advantages have been exhausted, the land is too thin, and the Han Dynasty
The land is no longer enough to support hundreds of millions of people, and the hundreds of millions of people are no longer able to be exploited and exploited by millions of Eight Banner nobles and millions of Han officials and soldiers.
Therefore, after the Kingdom of Heaven promotes righteousness today, the whole world will surely rebel in the future. And if the gentry and landlords in the world cannot raise the flag of righteousness and follow it, they will inevitably form a group to protect themselves.
However, the leaders of the Han gentry living in the countryside are no different from ordinary people. When they ascend to a high place and call out, thousands of people will follow, and they will gather together to form a group. If they retreat, they can protect their hometown, and if they enter, they can dominate the state... Isn't this right?
rebel?
If a gentry leader becomes big, occupies a large area of land, trains a large number of rural warriors, separates one side of the country, and becomes isolated in the south, will he still lay off his wings, hand over the land and army, and entrust his wealth and life to the capital just because of the imperial decree of the Qing Yao Emperor?
Are the bannermen noble?
Has there been such stupidity from ancient times to the present? Has it existed in twenty-four histories?
This... makes so much sense!
Huang Shijie was stunned!
He is not a nerd who studies hard, he is Luo Luoshan's disciple! Who is Luo Luoshan? The mother of the Hunan Army in history! Now he has started training elsewhere.
Huang Shijie sent people to Guangdong to buy foreign guns before, with the intention of organizing a large-scale team training. But what happens after the team training begins? Of course, he will first occupy Daozhou, and then separate Yongzhou, and act as the overlord of one side.
And the leader of a Han regiment in a separatist state... In the eyes of the Manchu emperor, wasn't he a rebel?
But if we don't resist...the Taiping Army will come to divide the fields of these gentry, raid their homes, and destroy their families!
This is called either death or rebellion. There are only two ways, there is no third way... If you don't believe it, go find the Twenty-Four Histories yourself.
While Huang Shijie was in a daze, Yu Wanqing was trembling.
He also picked up a copy of "The Rebellion of the Han Officials" and was reading it. He didn't believe in the rebellion of the officials at first. But after turning over a dozen pages, he... somewhat believed it, and then...
I believe it more and more.
Because everything said in this "Anti-Jing" makes sense!
Being a Han official in the Qing Dynasty was actually very miserable! It was a high-investment, high-risk, low-return business. If you were not careful, you would lose all your money.
Even for a Han military attache like Yu Wanqing, who was born as a martial artist, he had to spend money to become a military attaché!
In fact, most of the "shortages" of Han officials have to be bought with money!
Moreover, this "vacancy" is not necessarily a "real shortage". It does not mean that you can take up the post by spending money - of course there are such positions, such as Beijing officials, which can be determined by the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Personnel, and the Quan of the Ministry of War.
Maybe you can get it if you make some adjustments during the selection process. However, most of the local official positions are not decided by the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of War alone. They are decided by the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of War. After selection, local candidates will be appointed.
In other words, after spending money, you are still a candidate official. When you get a place, you go to the governor and then buy the real one... Spending money twice does not count, you have to spend time and wait slowly. Because for Han officials,
There is always a shortage of officials.
Therefore, it is not unusual for a literary scholar to wait ten or eight years from high school to becoming a county magistrate.
And during these ten or eight years... he still had to work as a white clerk in the Governor's Yamen who was waiting for a vacancy! The so-called white clerk meant that he worked for free and did not get paid!
Han officials in the Qing Dynasty only started to calculate their salaries after receiving the actual vacancies!
If there is no real shortage, there will be no money!
There is no money, but you still have to work for nothing - there are a lot of chores in the Governor's Yamen! Because in the Qing Dynasty, there were very few formal officials in the Governor's Yamen, if you don't count the model officers, there was only one!
Governor or governor!
This is equivalent to the yamen of the provincial government! How can one official manage it? So usually the governors of the Qing Dynasty had to assign themselves a large group of masters, followers, and family members to rely on them to manage the affairs of the yamen. But these people all had to
Hired with money... It would be fine if the governor is a corrupt official, but what if he meets an upright official? How many Shaoxing masters can be hired with such a small salary and integrity?
Therefore, being a substitute officer for a job is very useful... not only does it not cost money, but if something goes wrong, you can also be thrown out and take the blame - this "blame" is generally not allowed to be shouldered by the master. Since the master is not compiling personnel, he cannot
You should be responsible! Secondly, Master Shaobang is also in a group, so it’s hard to handle.
Therefore, this Qing Han official... is actually a high-risk official, and he will suffer losses if he is not careful.
Before the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom broke out, they were already working very hard, let alone now... they are all a little bored!
If the people are in dire straits and want to rebel, what should officials do if they are in dire straits?
Of course...there is only one antonym!
When the world is in great turmoil, are there still few local governors who separatist rule?
Officials who came with great difficulty and paid a lot of money, why should they be dismissed from office, exiled, or even die to repay the king as soon as the Taiping Army came back?
Why can't they collude with local powerful people to collect taxes privately, recruit troops privately, set up courts privately, and occupy the imperial state capital privately?
This... is so wonderful! Hasn't this been done in all dynasties? There shouldn't be too many such officials in the history books!
What this book says is correct!
The Qing Dynasty will probably move towards the end of the Han, the end of the Tang, and the end of the Yuan. The local ministers of the Qing Dynasty will not consider having a lord as their lord?
Yu Wanqing, who had been a military attaché of the Green Camp for the Qing Dynasty for thirty years and had many loyal Qing soldiers on hand, was actually a little excited... It would be great to be a lord!
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...It's finished, it's finished!"
Some people were aroused by Luo Yaoguo's "Reverse Classics" and were ambitious, while others began to feel sad.
The sad person is the parents of the people of Daozhou in the Qing Dynasty and Wang Kuiyi, the magistrate of Daozhou.
He also took a copy of Volume 3 of "Fijing", which Han Guan Zhifan was reading.
However, he is not a Han official like Yu Wanqing who has paid back his money after being a corrupt official for thirty years, and also has some weapons in his hands. He said that he borrowed a bunch of Beijing debts and finally bought the real need of Daozhou Zhizhou. The "official white labor"!
Not only did he not get his money back, he didn’t even pay off his debts!
Now the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is knocking on the door, and it seems that it will settle down in Daozhou and never leave... If the Taiping Army doesn't leave, what will he do as the governor of the state? He still has to pay back the official loan!
These days, Daozhou's external water transportation has been interrupted due to the Taiping Army's approach to Lingling. Once the water transportation is interrupted, the large and small mines around Daozhou City will have to stop work - without water transportation, the ore cannot be transported out! And the ore cannot be transported out! These mines were illegally opened privately, and they did not need to pay taxes to the court, but they had to be paid to the magistrate of Daozhou, the magistrate of Yongzhou, and the Chengui Road of Hengyong.
The reason why the magistrate of Daozhou, as a mountainous and scattered state, is so expensive is because of these private mines for supply... If the Taiping Army opened up a base in Etang and Lingtang, then Xiao The water will no longer be navigable.
And Wang Kuiyi's official position has a term... Once the term is up, the "official loan" in the capital cannot be paid, and the consequences will be serious!
Can he be an ordinary person who can lend usury to the parents of the people of the Qing Dynasty? Behind them are the top Eight Banners nobles in Beijing... If the debt owed to them is not repaid, Wang Kui will have to give it to them. He was assigned to serve in the Xinjiang Army and would never come back.
When he thought about how he had worked so hard to study, take the imperial examination, go bankrupt to buy a job, and finally owe a huge debt to Beijing, and have to live in the bitter cold of the northwest... Could he not cry?
Of course Yu Wanqing knew Wang Kueyi's difficulties, so he comforted him and said: "Linsheng, don't cry, don't cry... Aren't there just one or two thousand women with hair? This is to give us credit. Then you will be counted as one! With military merit, will those bannermen in the capital still come to you to ask for the King of Hell’s account? They are not such masters without discernment."
After hearing what Yu Wanqing said, Wang Kuiyi and Huang Shijie became energetic.
"Yu Junmen, do you really want to send troops?"
"Of course, a girl with long hair... is also a woman! I, Yu Wanqing, have been in the army for thirty years and have reached the rank of admiral. How can I still be afraid of a group of thieves and women? I also heard that Su Sanniang is the number one in the Jianghu and Guangxi circles. What a beauty...hahaha!"
"Yu Junmen, I am still able to gather one or two hundred regiments for training. I am willing to lead the way for the army!"
Yu Wanqing laughed loudly: "Okay! Ziying, I will report your merits to you when the time comes and recommend you as a county magistrate!"
"Thank you so much for the cultivation of Junmen!" Huang Shijie bowed his head and thanked him, then smiled and said to Yu Wanqing and Wang Kui: "Yu Junmen, Wang Jishi, this "Anti-Jing"..."
"Anti-Jing? What "Anti-Jing"?" Yu Wanqing put the "Anti-Jing" into his arms and pretended to be confused, "I don't know, I've never heard of it!"
Wang Kuiyi also quickly put away the "Anti-Jing" in his hand and said with a smile: "I haven't heard of it either..."
