Chapter 876: Great Liquidation, Datong is back and won’t leave!

Author: Feng Shaoyu

"cut!"

After signing the death penalty, the row of Kong family members who were domineering and causing trouble to Qufu immediately lost their heads on the public trial stage.

Blood splattered, and after a moment of silence, the onlookers burst into cheers: "Okay! Well done!"

"These bastards finally got the better of them, well done!"

"Father! Mother! Have you seen it? These Kong family members have finally brought retribution!"

"This is the end, this is the end. It's not that you don't report that the time has not come yet, your Kong family will finally have this day!"

The common people cheered and cried, seeing with their own eyes the retribution of the Kong family who had suffered many misfortunes in the fish and meat village, and they were all excited and couldn't help themselves.

Since the second year of Chongzhen, the life of the common people has been getting worse day by day. Corrupt officials, lawless gentry, noble princes and other people are not as moral as bandits. They really treat the common people in the world like leeks.

One crop after another.

But even if you cut a leek, you still have to leave a root. Who among the nobles and beasts in this court really regards the common people as human beings?

If you think you have won the exam and are able to lift people, then it means that Wenquxing has descended to the earth, he is a divine figure, and he is different from ordinary people. No matter how down-and-out a person is, he can become a tycoon in one fell swoop.

These talented people who once lived in poverty on the streets and boasted that they were full of knowledge but had great ambitions to serve the country, once they were elected and became gentry, they turned around and oppressed the people one by one, but they were more ruthless than anyone else, and they could not remember the life they had lived before.

This is true for everyone in the county, let alone the county magistrate. The county magistrate breaks down Yi Yin's family and destroys his family. The county magistrate is Bailihou. The wealth and life of the people in this county are under his control. If you have a little understanding, you can

A large amount of money, not to mention that these county magistrates are officials because of wealth.

Looking at the local officials of the Chongzhen Dynasty and the high-ranking officials in the court, very few people in the civil and military circles of the Chongzhen Dynasty considered practical matters and the country. They were all about private affairs, money, power and sex.

Can it be said that such a Chongzhen Dynasty was all the fault of the officials, and that the Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youjian really emerged from the mud and remained untainted?

Zhu Youjian respected the ancestral system and recognized scholars, farmers, industry and commerce. In Zhu Youjian's eyes, nobles are nobles, ministers are ministers, gentry are gentry, and Li Shu are just Li Shu;

They were the supporter of the imperial government and the representatives of local public opinion among the gentry, but what about the Li Shu?

Li Shu was naturally ignored.

Therefore, once a disaster strikes a place, there is a problem at the border, or there is a rebellion among the people, Chongzhen’s response is to suffer the people, and then suffer the common people, instead of saying that he will suffer the gentry and the common people.

As a minister, or in other words, when the country is facing a crisis, it is the honorable minister who should contribute one or two things.

Chongzhen talked about his false love for the people, but he never thought of Li Shu at all. He only had the world of Lao Zhu's family in his mind, and in the world of Lao Zhu's family, nobles, ministers, and gentry were all important, but only the common people.

It's contemptible.

There are too many people, they are everywhere in the world, they see too many people, and the number of people who die is just a number.

If Zhu Youjian's thoughts were known to his ancestor, Emperor Hongwu, he would not know that Ming Taizu Huizhuo, who was born in poverty and used his former cowherd boy to conquer the world, was known as the most upright person to win the country and reopen the world of the Han family.

What do you think?

The people don’t know what Zhu Yuanzhang, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, thought. Anyway, the people had already begun to curse Zhu Youjian.

After all, the people have experienced too much turmoil.

From the Jiajing Year to the Wanli Year, the people really did not live in peace for a few years. Whether it was the Jiajing period of cultivating immortals or the ruined Wanli period, they brought too much turmoil and harm to the Ming Dynasty, and also made the people of the world suffer for a long time. .

The arrival of the Tianqi Dynasty was like a long drought followed by gentle rain. The people had been nourished for two years after a long period of drought. But what could the people do when another disaster like Chongzhen hit them?

That's why the people were so dissatisfied with Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youjian and the officials and nobles he appointed. That's why the people watched those gentry and nobles acting domineeringly with complaints. That's why the people silently looked forward to the return of new laws and new policies.

Because they have seen light in darkness, people will never forget it.

The more unforgettable that day of the Qi Dynasty was, the harder it was to endure the days of the Chongzhen Dynasty.

This is also the reason why people all over the world are rebelling frequently, and why people are so supportive of the Datong Party members after they come to Shandong.

This is where the so-called justice of people's hearts lies.

Huang Zongxi looked at the people's joy and said slowly: "I often hear the chief minister say that the so-called heaven's way is not greater than human's way, and heaven's law is greater than human's law. Seeing this scene today, I have a new understanding of the word "justice and justice". Experience.”

"Compared to Yuan Fu, we are still far behind. We only saw it at the moment, but Yuan Fu had already seen this scene and thought of what to do."

Zhou Yuji nodded: "If we know everything, why should we follow Yuan Fu and learn his way?"

"Just keep practicing and learn. There is still a long way to go."

The trial of the Kong family cannot be completed in one day. There are too many Kong family members, and there are too many people connected with the Kong family in Qufu. Some of these people deserve to die, some are innocent, and some need to be punished. These are all It was a public trial and sentencing in public, so it lasted for seven full days before the trial of the main personnel was completed.

During these seven days, more and more people came to Qufu to watch. Every time someone was sentenced, the audience would burst into loud applause and cheers, which showed how unpopular the Kong family was in Qufu.

And so many people from other places also applauded, which gave us a glimpse of how far the world's public resentment has accumulated, and how deeply the people hate corrupt officials, lawless gentry, and those domineering nobles.

If the Datong Party does not come, the public resentment will continue to accumulate until the last spark detonates, and then explodes, blowing up the entire Ming Dynasty and even the world.

And that is not what Zhang Haogu wants, nor what the Datong Party members want.

After trying the main members of the Confucius family and the officials in Qufu, Huang Zongxi began to divide the land in Qufu without stopping, and returned the land in Qufu that had been occupied by the Confucius family to the people.

You will pay back as much as you should, and at the same time, no matter how much money the Kong family has squeezed from the people over the years, they will return it to the people without any change.

This alone made the people burst into tears. It's back, it's back, the new people-oriented party is really back.

Allocating land and money to the people of Qufu was a major matter, and Huang Zongxi attached great importance to it. He also knew that Zhang Haogu, who was far away in Liaodong, had been watching the situation in this old base area in Shandong. Therefore, Huang Zongxi specially seconded some troops from Zhou Yuji's army. The staff officer, plus he brought some secretaries from the secretariat to handle this matter personally.

After returning the pieces of land that originally belonged to the people, the people came to kowtow one after another.

The people kowtowed when the Kong family was killed, and kowtowed again when it was announced that the land would be allocated to the people. Now the people are still kowtowing. Huang Zongxi looked at the people kneeling on the street outside the county government office, and the crowd was overwhelming the crowd, and shouted: "Everyone stand up.

!No kneeling!”

"The chief minister said that everyone is not allowed to kneel, we are all human beings, and they are all the same. No matter whether there are new policies or new laws, everyone is not allowed to kneel, we all stand up! We are human beings when we straighten our backs!"

The people stood up in fear, and an old man slowly stepped forward: "Sir, the Tianqi Dynasty has passed, and there are no new laws and policies. When the Chongzhen Dynasty comes, all those monsters and monsters are back. We also want to stand up straight, but

Monsters and monsters really eat people."

"Sir, why hasn't the Chief Assistant come back yet? Since the Chief Assistant went to Liaodong in the Chongzhen Year, we have really become untouchables. These days are becoming increasingly sad. But we haven't lived enough.

It’s a good day.”

"When will Yuan Fu come back? We have really had enough of those monsters and monsters. We just want to live a peaceful and peaceful life for a few years. Why is it so difficult?"

The common people complained one after another: "Yes, as soon as Yuan Fu left, the new policies and laws all changed."

"The Chongzhen Dynasty and the Tianqi Dynasty are fundamentally different. The officials of the Chongzhen Dynasty cannibalize people without showing any blood."

"Can the new policies and new laws come back? How long will it take for you to come back this time? Are you still leaving?"

"Can you not leave? Let us live in peace for a few more years and at least raise our children."

Huang Zongxi listened to the demands of the people, and for some reason his nose suddenly became sore. Are the people's demands high?

What the people want is just two meals a day; what the people want is just a piece of land that can be cultivated and support a family; what the people want is just a peaceful and stable life; what the people want is just less exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes

, even if it’s just a little less

Do the people ask for much?

Are the requirements high?

The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. However, the higher the position, the heavier the burden.

Zhu Youjian is the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. He is the highest and most noble person in the world. He also has the heaviest responsibility, which is to let the people of the world live in peace and stability.

That's right, just let the people survive, even if there are only two meals a day without three meals, even if there is only a piece of barren land, even if there are many excessive taxes and miscellaneous taxes, as long as they can survive and struggle hard, the people will not rebel.

As long as life can survive, the people will endure it silently.

But how innocent are the people?!

Why should we suffer the common people in everything, instead of suffering the gentry who live in fertile fields, the adults who sit high in temples and have no worries about food and clothing, and those who enjoy themselves in wine ponds and meat forests?

My dear, why don't you go to those scholar-bureaucrats who eat minced meat?

Do the people deserve to suffer?

Obviously working hard to provide food, drink and enjoyment for these scholar-bureaucrats, noble princes, civil and military officials in the dynasty, so that they will not even think about starvation, so that they can travel around, recite poems and write poems, so that they can criticize Fang Qiu, so that they can

It was the common people who wrote the poem "The grass is rich but the bean sprouts are sparse", but in the end, the common people got nothing and were as humble as grass.

Huang Zongxi stepped forward and held the old man's chapped hands. These hands were rough and full of scars. They were hands that really worked in the fields: "Don't worry, old man. Yuan Fu said that we won't leave when we come back this time."

"

With that said, Huang Zongxi looked at the crowd and shouted: "Don't worry, everyone, we won't leave after we come back. Yuan Fu said, we come back this time just to let everyone live a safe and stable life. In order to let everyone live a safe and stable life."

To be fed and clothed.”

"The imperial court can't do this, we, the Datong Party, will do it. We won't leave, we will take root here, and no one can drive us away!"

"Okay!" the people cheered.

Looking at the happy people, Huang Zongxi smiled and murmured: "No one can drive us away, and no one can stop us. We will completely smash this decadent old world, and revolutionize the six-day depression.

Open a new heaven for all eternity!”

Starting from Qufu, the Datong Party members launched vigorous revolutionary actions in the six prefectures of Shandong.

Innovate and innovate, get rid of bad government, and take on a new look.
