"Although I am a woman, I have received the country's favor, and I will die with the country. It is righteous. [] You are a minister of a foreign country, have failed the country's favor for all generations, and have forgotten the instructions of my ancestors, then I can rest in peace in the ground." Gu Yan's mother, Wang, said her last words. .
If we say who Zhao Qiang respected the most during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, there is only one answer, and that is Gu Yanwu of Kunshan, not only because of his saying "every man is responsible for the rise and fall of the world", but because of his person and his life !
After the Jiashen Incident, Gu Yanwu wrote "Da Xing Elegy" after hearing the news, expressing his deep sorrow for the death of Emperor Chongzhen. After the Qing troops entered the pass, Fengyang Governor Ma Shiying and others welcomed the Fu King Zhu Yousong in Nanjing and established the first Nanming Dynasty. The regime. Gu Yanwu was promoted by Yang Yongyan, the magistrate of Kunshan County, and was awarded the position of Secretary-General of the Ministry of War by King Fu's regime. After the Qing troops captured Nanjing, Gu Yanwu, Guizhuang, Wu Qikang and others participated in the epic struggle against the Qing Dynasty in Suzhou and Kunshan. The city of Kunshan fell and many people died. More than 40,000 people were killed. Gu Yanwu's biological mother, He, had her right arm cut off by the Qing soldiers, and his two younger brothers were killed. Wu Qikang, his good friend, was also arrested and suffered hardship. Gu Yanwu followed his stepmother Wang to avoid the soldiers in Changshu. When the Wang family heard that the city had fallen, they went on a hunger strike On the Fifteenth Day of the Dead, he left his last words to Gu Yanwu before his death: "Although I am a woman, I have been favored by the country, and I will die with the country. It is righteous. You are a minister of a foreign country, have failed the country's favors, and have forgotten the teachings of your ancestors. Then I can rest in peace." Underground."
The Ming Dynasty fell, and the Eight Banners marched south. The pain of ruining the country and the hatred of the ruined family made Gu Yanwu's thoughts strongly shaken. Gu Yanwu believed that the Ming Dynasty perished, firstly because of academics, but also because of moral decay. It died from academics. , refers to the academic style of "empty talk about human nature" in Neo-Confucianism in the Song and Ming Dynasties, which resulted in "few economics students", and moral decay refers to the "shame of scholar-bureaucrats", surrendering to foreigners, and turning against official officials.
Gu Yanwu kept his mother's last words in mind throughout his life and refused to be recruited by the Manchus. He also refused to accept Kangxi's offer to study "History of the Ming Dynasty". The Qing court specially opened the Erxuehongci Department and used a gentle policy to appease the Ming Dynasty's sages. Some people in the area wanted to think that Gu Yanwu Zhiyun: "My late concubine was unmarried and adopted a aunt to have an heir. It was the first strange festival in Wu, and it was honored by the Mongolian court. The country was destroyed, and a woman died in the fierceness of the first sun. She died and died. There is no official in the next generation." The words are recorded in the will, so everyone can come out, but Yanwu will never come out." He also said: "What does the seventy-year-old man want? He just needs to die. If we must force each other, we will die with our lives." This is not a big deal. Damn, I am righteous and awe-inspiring, and will always reject this alien regime of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
Gu Yanwu regarded himself with the spirit of pines and cypresses throughout his life. He said, "I think that after three generations, the world has declined, abandoned etiquette and justice, and sacrificed integrity and shame. This did not happen overnight. However, after the pines and cypresses withered in the cold years, and the roosters did not cease to crow in the wind and rain, they all fainted. You are definitely not a person who wakes up alone!"
In the 19th year of Kangxi's reign, Gu Yanwu's first wife, Wang Shuoren, died of illness in Kunshan. Since Gu Yanwu left his hometown and wandered outside for more than 20 years, he never returned to Kunshan, and naturally he never saw his wife again. He ordered his servants to buy incense, candles and other sacrifices. , offered sacrifices to his wife from a distance. After bowing respectfully for several times, he lamented about current events, recalled the past, and finally burst into tears, which was quite true.
Mountains and rivers are shattered, and couples are divided. How many people are unlucky? Deep down in his heart, he must have felt a trace of guilt for his wife, because he firmly chose the country between home and country.
As a native of Jiangnan, Gu Yanwu actually stayed in the north for more than 20 years, traveled around the northern land, made friends with heroes, and never forgot to restore his life. His national integrity has always inspired many people with lofty ideals. His political thoughts, especially his national character , which played a guiding role in the subsequent bourgeois revolution in the late Qing Dynasty. When the bourgeois revolutionary Zhang Binglin opposed the Qing government, he deliberately signed himself Zhang Jiang, which was the same as Gu Yanwu's original name. This shows the far-reaching influence of Gu Yanwu's thoughts.
How could Zhao Qiang not admire such a great Confucian, such a dignified and disciplined Confucian? I just wish I couldn't have a good conversation with him!
Gu Yanwu is a monument of nationalism that will always stand tall for the Han nation! Zhao Qiang thinks so.
"Guys, please get up quickly! Please get up quickly! I didn't expect to be lucky enough to see Mr. Gu's apprentice today. I am so surprised and overjoyed!" Zhao Qiang helped these Gu Yanwu up one by one from the bottom of his heart.
Every time I help a student, I feel happy.
"I wonder if Mr. Gu is in good health?" Zhao Qiang didn't know exactly when Gu Yanwu died. He wanted to know if he was alive. If he was alive, he would have to find a way to smuggle him out of the country no matter what. If he was so suspicious, he would tell the world.
Showing his identity as a Chinese orthodoxy, for the Manchus, the existence of Gu Yanwu may be far more terrifying than Guan Ningjun. Because Gu Yanwu represents the human heart!
Force is far from the final factor that determines everything, but people's hearts are! Zhou Peigong's words made Zhao Qiang realize that he cannot lose people's hearts. If he does not step up the pace of Chineseizing the army, he may be able to sweep the Qing Dynasty on the battlefield, but he will lose in terms of people's hearts.
It's a complete mess. For the sake of people's hearts, Zhao Qiang must make great efforts to Chineseize Guan Ningjun. Otherwise, by the time he enters the customs, everything will be too late.
We cannot let Guan Ning's army become the new Manchuria just to conquer Manchuria!
"Commander, my mentor traveled to the west on a crane the year before last."
The first young man who spoke was Chen Ang, also named Guangshui. He was the last group of students Gu Yanwu accepted in Fujian, and he was also the most talented among them. The other three were Lu Qing, Zhao Chu,
Guo Pu, they were all disciples of Gu Yanwu together with Chen Ang, and they were also imprisoned together because of the "anti-book" compiled by Chen Ang.
Zhao Qiang's expression darkened when he heard this, and he was silent for a while. Then he sighed: "I don't want Mr. Gu to have passed away, but I still want to have the opportunity to visit him in the future."
"Do you recognize the commander-in-chief and the master?"
Lu Qing saw that Zhao Qiang respected his teacher so much, and he knew the saying "every man is responsible for the rise and fall of heaven", so he thought that Zhao Qiang must have some connection with the teacher.
Zhao Qiang shook his head and said: "When I was in the pass, I heard Mr. Gu's name, but I have never seen him in person and listened to his teachings. Now that the yin and yang are separated, it is very sad." After saying this, he showed signs of pain.
Color, extremely melancholy.
"The commander-in-chief misses his master so much, I would like to express my gratitude to you!" Chen Subaru and the other two hurriedly bowed and saluted.
"Now that I have you, the commander's difficulties can be solved easily."
Gu Yanwu is dead and cannot come back again. Although his reputation is worthy of the existence of a division, people cannot be resurrected after death, and no matter how much they miss him, they will never be remembered. Fortunately, with his students here,
It was a big harvest. Even if the disciples of Gu Yan's martial arts were not as good as him, they would definitely not be far behind. At least compared with Qu Cai and others who were duplicitous and opportunistic, they would definitely stand out from the crowd.
Talents, these are talents! They may not make suggestions, they may not need formations to kill the enemy, as long as they can assimilate Guan Ning's army, they are the greatest contributors!
After listening to Zhao Qiang's words, Guo Pu lost no time in asking: "I wonder what the commander-in-chief is in trouble for, and can the students and others help share the commander-in-chief's worries?"
"Haha, I was in trouble before, but now with you guys, this difficult thing for me is no longer difficult."
Zhao Qiang swept away the sadness caused by Gu Yanwu's death and regained his spirits. He did not shy away from Ben Cai and the others. He gave an overview of the composition of his Guan Ning Army, and then expressed his intention to assimilate with them.
"You are all scholars, and your knowledge is much stronger than that of an old man like me, so I have to leave this matter to you!" Zhao Qiang suddenly bent down and bowed to Chen Ang and others.
How dare Chen Ang and others accept this gift? They were about to return the gift, but were stopped by Zhao Qiang: "If you can accomplish this for me, you will not only solve my biggest difficulty, but also benefit millions of Han people."
There is nothing wrong with me bowing down. I am sincerely thanking you on behalf of us Han people!" After saying this, he said with emotion: "You have all seen it. My Guan Ning Army cannot be called the Han Army.
So your task is to turn the Guanning Army into a Han Army, not a new "Tatar Army"!"
"Students and others are obliged to do this assimilation!"
Chen Ang nodded heavily. This was the first time he heard the term "assimilation", but without much explanation from Zhao Qiang, he knew how important it was to assimilate Guan Ningjun.
"I wonder when the commander-in-chief will enter the customs, and when will he restore my Ming Dynasty title?" Lu Qing suddenly said.
"Our Guan Ning Army now has four major regiments with tens of thousands of soldiers. I intend to have a decisive battle with the Qing army in a few months. At that time, we will sweep the outside of the pass. At that time, we will enter Shanhaiguan and approach the capital. As for the title of the Ming Dynasty
"Things." Zhao Qiang paused and said with a smile: "We will discuss it later when the capital city is destroyed."
"Yes, the commander-in-chief has carefully considered that the most urgent task is to establish a foothold outside the customs. The national title will not be discussed until the day when the important matter is decided." Chen Ang keenly sensed the implication of Zhao Qiang's words and asked for more.
Lu Qing gave Lu Qing a look. Seeing this, Lu Qing understood and stopped asking any more questions.
Guo Pu and Zhao Chu also knew why Zhao Qiang did not mention the restoration of the old Ming Dynasty title. This was because the Guan Ning Army was an old unit of the Wu Army. At that time, Wu Sangui did not welcome the descendants of the Ming Dynasty to be the emperor, but established his own country title.
If Zhao Qiang wants to restore the title of the old Ming Dynasty now, I am afraid that the military will be dissatisfied. When the teacher was alive, he mentioned several times that the civil war in Nanming was endless for the orthodoxy, which made the Qing court gain the advantage and pacified the kings of Nanming one by one.
Whenever this was mentioned, Gu Yanwu was filled with hatred and angrily scolded those ministers who only served their own interests and ignored the interests of the country. He repeatedly warned his disciples: the lessons learned from past mistakes must not be forgotten, so no matter who stood up to fight against the Qing Dynasty,
The disciples must go to support, either echo or run for the cause, and the hard work of the righteous man must not be wasted because of sectarian opinions.
It was precisely because of Gu Yanwu's warning that Chen Ang and others did not feel bad about the fact that Guan Ning's army was composed of Wu Sangui's old troops, and they were all willing to be used by Zhao Qiang. Firstly, because they had no other choice; secondly,
He has been deeply influenced by his mentor and has been participating in the anti-Qing cause throughout his life, regardless of success or failure, he has regrets!
When Qu Cai and others saw that Zhao Qiang favored Chen Ang and other Gu Yanwu disciples, they were all a little jealous, but they were not really jealous, because they looked down on this barbarian army from the bottom of their hearts, and they did not look down on this rough guy who did not look like a master.
Everyone thought to themselves, these four people with bone growth on the back of their heads are seeking their own death. Is the Qing Dynasty so easy to destroy?
"Please go down and rest first, and you will go back with me tomorrow morning. Then you will have more to worry about."
"As long as you are contributing to the fight against the Qing Dynasty, students will have nothing to do with it!"
Zhao Qiang glanced at Qu Cai and the others, smiled slightly, without saying anything to them, waved his hand and asked the guards to take them all down. After everyone got out, Zhao Qiang felt a little sleepy, so he left the matter of Dai Zi until he went back.
.But he asked the guards to release the people from the carriage and let them move around. This place is their own territory, so there is nothing to worry about.
There are still a few hundred collections left to reach 8,000. In order to successfully raise the price when it reaches 1 million words, please support and like the readers of this book to collect it, so that the one-year-old baby with bones can eat more milk powder, haha. Thank you all.
