The one who stood up to speak was a young man dressed as a fisherman, with a bamboo hat on his head, straw sandals on his bare feet, a linen ribbon wrapped around his white cotton clothes, and a fish basket hanging on his waist.
Jiang Xu glanced at it and laughed dumbly: "I thought it was the Donglin student who was so rude and rude, but he turned out to be a fisherman. I didn't expect that Donglin Academy was in such decline that even a fisherman could break into the hall."
Hearing Jiang Xu's sarcasm, the officials of the Ministry of Rites and the deacon Donglin were a little embarrassed. Donglin Academy is a serious academic institution, how could someone just break in casually? The official of the Ministry of Rites waved his hand.
, the two Jin Yiwei rushed forward. When the students saw someone coming forward, they just wanted to hear this person's opinion. Unexpectedly, the officers and soldiers actually wanted to drive this person out. They refused to comply one by one, and surrounded the Jin Yiwei.
At the same time, he shouted: "That man, keep scolding him, scold him as hard as he can."
Of course, the fisherman was not a real fisherman, but the Marquis of Zhenwu who had not changed out of his fisherman's clothes. He came out of the lake and was about to enter the palace to chat with the emperor's brother-in-law. Unexpectedly, he saw an old acquaintance on the road.
They followed me down, and they said they were acquaintances, but they were not. It turned out that the fifth elder brother Xuan Qi looked a lot like Hong Kong and Taiwan star Leo Ku, who has always been Liu Ziguang’s most hated star. The moment he saw that baby face that was pretending to be chic, people couldn’t help but
There was an urge to hit someone with the sole of his shoe.
Marquis Zhenwu is a dignified marquis, and the fifth elder brother is not an ordinary citizen who can be bullied at will, so he wanted to find a suitable opportunity. Liu Ziguang brought a few guards and followed him all the way into Donglin Academy. He happened to hear
There was a burst of Jiang Xu's fallacies, so Liu Ziguang couldn't help but stood up to refute this absurd view. He didn't care about the fifth elder brother with the face of Gu Juji. Now his first task was to refute Jiang Xu and replace the Han people.
Correct name.
The two Jin Yiwei were both from Baihu, and their martial arts skills were very strong. If they really wanted to capture Liu Ziguang, no matter how many students they had, they would not be able to stop him. However, these two people discovered that the few inconspicuous men in civilian clothes beside the fisherman were none other than Nan.
Apart from Liu Ziguang, the admiral of the South Factory, there would be no other person who could take Qianhu as a guard among the factory's Qianhu. At that moment, they stopped and pretended to be blocked by the students and could not move forward. They just
He assists the Ministry of Rites in running errands and is not directly under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Rites, so naturally he will not bring trouble to Marquis Zhenwu.
"Thanks to everyone's appreciation, I will go up to the stage to debate with this master." Liu Ziguang is such a person. Naturally, he is not afraid of such crowded occasions. He walked calmly among the students and came to the podium.
He jumped up to the podium with a graceful and neat movement, which immediately aroused applause. Jiang Xu took a closer look and was shocked. This man's energy cannot be faked. Some people don't look like princes when they wear dragon robes.
Liu Ziguang, who looked majestic even in a beggar's uniform, belonged to the latter group. His long-term determination to kill had given him a heroic demeanor that looked down on the world, which Jiang Xu could not fail to see with his eyesight.
"May I ask this little brother Gao what fame he has? Do you dare to compete with me, the Minister of Rites of the Qing Dynasty?" Jiang Xu's entourage stood up and asked. Before Liu Ziguang could answer, Jiang Xu said: "
In the academy, there is no distinction between superiority and inferiority, only knowledge. If this little brother has anything to say, feel free to send it."
"As expected, Master Jiang has the demeanor of a famous scholar, so you're welcome. However, I'm a fisherman and my words may be a bit vulgar later on. Please forgive me, Master." Liu Ziguang said.
Jiang Xu thought to himself that if you were really a fisherman, then I would be a pig-killer. After all, Donglin Academy is the most famous school in Nanming. It is very possible that there are some crazy students who like to dress up in a different way. At the moment, he put on a superman with a humble attitude.
He looked like he was smiling and said, "But it won't matter."
"Let's talk about the so-called Tengger you just mentioned. What is this? How did it become the primitive worship common to us Han people and nomadic people? When we Han people were in the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties five thousand years ago,
There is no trace of your so-called grassland culture. How can you say that it comes from grassland civilization? It would be better to say that your father was raised by you! The dragon totem comes from the wolf totem. You are too good at breaking it.
Dragons and wolves look the same? Do you know where dragons come from? Let me tell you, dragons originated from primitive totem worship in ancient times. They were tribes that used animals such as snakes or crocodiles as totems. After wars or marriages, they merged with the
Various other animals are the comprehensive totems produced after the totems of tribes. The dragon has "horns like a deer, a head like a donkey, a forehead like a snake, a belly like a mirage, scales like a carp, claws like an eagle, palms like a tiger, and ears like an ox."
It can fly in the air and swim in the water. There are also subdivisions. Those with scales are called dragons, those with wings are called Yinglongs, those with horns are called Zhalongs, those who seek to ascend are called Panlongs, and those who like water are called Qinglongs.
Dragons, those who like fire are called fire dragons, those who are good at roaring are called singing dragons, and those who are good at fighting are called lizard dragons. The dragons in the Spring and Autumn Period, the dragons in the Qin and Han Dynasties, the dragons in the Tang and Song Dynasties, and even today the dragons embroidered on the dragon robes of the Ming Dynasty,
They are all different. This shows that the dragon is a progressive culture, a national symbol continued by the descendants of the Yan and Huang Dynasties, and has got rid of the meaning of the primitive national totem. The wolf totem you mentioned is still the lowest and most primitive animal worship, which is basically the same as
The dragon totem is not on the same level, but you still have the nerve to lean on our dragon with the wolf totem, you are really not ashamed at all!"
Liu Ziguang's words were easy to understand and conclusive. He not only explained the difference between the totems of the two nationalities, but also explained the origin of the dragon. It opened the eyes of those students who only knew how to read eight-legged essays. Suddenly, there was a burst of applause.
Liu Ziguang stretched out his hand and pressed it around, then said:
"There is also what Master Jiang said about nomadic people being wolves and their elder brothers, and farming people being sheep and their younger brothers. Brother wolf has to come every once in a while to give blood to younger brother sheep. I feel uncomfortable hearing this. It is simply not human language!
Are the farming peoples who can create their own living space without the need to expand externally just like sheep? Because the nomadic peoples cannot create a civilization that is enough to feed themselves, they can only plunder and destroy the civilizational achievements created by the farming peoples in order to survive, so they can be called
For wolves? What you call blood transfusion is to plunder the fruits of civilization of the farming people, and then return to the grassland with the looted treasures, leaving a ruin for mankind. That's all, but you actually beautified it into such a great act. Is there such a thing?
Are you traveling shamelessly? The grassland peoples are brothers, and the Chinese people are brothers? What is used to divide them? There is only one criterion for division, and that is to see who has created a more advanced civilization. If force is used as the criterion for division, then next to you
That guy with the pigtail haircut can be your uncle, because you will definitely not be able to beat him. Does that make sense?
Jiang Xu sneered and nodded. Just as he was about to refute, Liu Ziguang, who was in high spirits, pushed him back to his seat. Now that he was speaking so happily, there was no room for Jiang Xu to interrupt.
"In the era of cold weapons, it is no secret that nomads have a greater military advantage than farming peoples. It is not absolute that the Chinese nation cannot defeat the nomads. The nomads are often defeated by the Chinese nation. This belongs to the military category, and it is not a secret.
There is no necessary connection with civilization, not to mention that nomads only have culture but no civilization. If the so-called "Father of Tengger" is loving, why do these peoples only brutally kill people when they arrive in the Central Plains, killing tens of millions at a time?
, blood flowed like rivers, corpses piled up like mountains, no chickens or dogs were left, and human settlements were rare. Is there such "kindness" in the world? Just now you said that the Jurchens conquered the Northern Song Dynasty, captured two emperors, emptied the treasury of treasures, and murdered thousands of beauties in the harem.
They plundered the wilderness of the North because they lacked a backbone - a strong national character. Then I would like to ask you how to explain the Jurchen cavalry being beaten to pieces by the Han army represented by Yue Fei in the early Southern Song Dynasty? Not only Yue Fei, but also Han Shizhong and Liu Qi
, Zhang Jun, Zhang Jun, Wu Gao, Wu Jie, which one is not the backbone of the Han nation? There are also the powerful anti-gold forces in the old land of the north, who insist on resisting in harsh circumstances without strong support, and would rather die than surrender! There are also the later ones
Yu Yunwen, Meng Gong, Yu Jie and other national heroes, which one of them are not? Then let's look at the so-called wolf-like peoples, not to mention that the Khitan was wiped out by the Jurchens, and the Jurchens were wiped out by the Mongols, only Mongolia. In the late Mongolian period,
The Mongolian Emperor abandoned the city and fled north. His ancestral temples were completely destroyed. Even the emperor's grandson Maideliba Ci was captured by the Han and Ming armies. A large number of Mongolian officials surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, including a large number of Mongolian princes and nobles.
, where is the strong backbone of your nation reflected? Aren’t you a weak nation? Why didn’t Emperor Yuan Shun stay and fight the Ming army to the death?”
Maybe you will say that it was the arrogance and extravagance of the Han nation that corrupted Brother Lang and sapped their fighting spirit. Then I would like to ask, you Manchus have only been in the country for less than ten years, so why did you fail so miserably? Your Shunzhi
The emperor was frightened by our famous Ming Dynasty general Liu Houye and died after returning to Beijing. Your Prince Rui was also captured alive during his escape. Your 200,000 southern expedition army retreated to the north of the Yellow River like bereaved dogs.
, why is this? Oh, I forgot, you always have a reason. You will say that it was your blood transfusion to Marquis Zhenwu, so that he could beat you so bravely that you pissed your shit off, and beat you thousands of miles away.
Nanjing comes to beg for surrender!"
"Okay!" There was a burst of cheers from the audience. The scholars had never heard such a heart-warming refutation. The gloomy mood just now was swept away, and they all applauded the unknown fisherman.
Liu Ziguang looked at the young faces in the audience and couldn't help but feel excited. These young people have not been ruined by the imperial examination system and the eight-legged essay. If they are educated properly, they may be the force for national revitalization. He paused and waited for the applause to thin out.
He came down and continued:
Whether a nation is great or not depends on how much it contributes to the development of human civilization. One is science and technology, and the other is advanced thought and culture. As for its combat effectiveness, it can only represent the degree of barbarism. Although nomads conquered by force
The Central Plains, but they did not have the ability to create civilization and ruled the Central Plains with a backward culture. Therefore, in order to consolidate their rule in the Central Plains, the nomads had to rule the Han Dynasty with the Han people. The Han people accounted for the absolute majority in the population of the nomadic dynasty.
Yes, if you don’t rule Han by Han law, you will definitely not be recognized by the Han nation. The historical facts are there! You cannot deny it at all. Whether it is the Northern Wei Dynasty, the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty or the Manchu Qing Dynasty, no matter how they look down on the Han nationality, they do nothing to the Han nationality.
Massacre, but after consolidating its power through military force, it must be Sinicized. Without Sinicization and attracting Han intellectuals to join the political power, the Han people under its rule cannot have a sense of identity with the foreign regime. An uncivilized nation conquered by force
Another nation with an advanced civilization, on the one hand, has played a great destructive role in the development of advanced civilization, and on the other hand, it must rely on advanced civilization to rule areas with advanced civilization. This is a historical necessity!
It was this so-called unsatisfactory brother in your mouth who invented paper, printing, gunpowder, the compass, clocks, ironmaking, iron-smelting water drains, the armillary sphere, the seismometer, the wheelbarrow, ceramics, the acupuncture bronze figure, the decimal value system, and the equator
Coordinate systems, engraving and printing, abacus, banknotes, banks, and many more, and what else will your Brother Wolf do besides riding on horseback and shooting arrows to massacre the city? If nothing else, if you really have the ability, write what I just said in Manchu
Come out, can you? You can't. I heard that your Emperor Kangxi had to read Chinese books since he was a child. It's no wonder that you Manchus don't have any books. In addition to a copy of Romance of the Three Kingdoms, it was turned into pieces by the Huang Taiji brothers.
Like a paper roll.
Having said so much, it is actually a truth. A nation that cannot create civilization will definitely be eliminated by the development trend of human civilization. This is a historical necessity. After a low-level civilization defeats a high-level civilization through force, it will not be eliminated by the high-level civilization.
Assimilated by civilization, they will inevitably be expelled by advanced civilization! As civilization becomes increasingly advanced, barbarian nations will completely withdraw from the stage of history. Whether it is Brother Wolf in the Mongolian grasslands or Brother Wolf in the Liaohe Plain, under the iron and steel of our Ming Dynasty army
Under the torrent, they will surely turn into dust. Thank you everyone, I have finished what I want to say next.
Applause, continuous applause, the scholars in Donglin listened intoxicated. Although Liu Ziguang used a lot of advanced vocabulary, they still understood it. After Liu Ziguang's explanation, they understood the advanced nature and greatness of the Central Plains civilization.
A sense of national pride arose spontaneously in their hearts, and many scholars slapped their palms red. No one noticed that Jiang Xu had quietly stepped down, dragging his fifth elder brother and walking out the back door in disgrace.
