1027 [A Preliminary Study of Mr. Zhou's Ming History]
It is strange to say that the suspension of "Fei Gong" did not cause any waves.
Countless colleagues and readers had already expected this, because "Human Market" was written too darkly, and unabashedly condemned the central government's military grain procurement policy. So no one stood up to seek justice for Zhou Hexuan, and he was just asking for mercy.
Everyone just lamented that they can no longer order "Fei Gong" in the future.
"Fei Gong" was founded before the war. Zhou Hexuan wrote nearly 200 commentaries in this magazine. In particular, the analysis of the international situation and the interpretation of Japanese policies have become the first choice materials for Chinese people to understand the world in recent years, and even
Chiang Kai-shek's Attendant Office also established a special research group.
Now "Fei Gong" can no longer be run, which has disappointed countless readers.
However, Zhou Hexuan's article "Human Market", because of its extremely sharp writing, drew people's attention to the disaster in Henan to a higher level. Not only did newspapers send reporters to Henan, but civil society also responded actively. People in the southwestern provinces were hungry.
Donate money and materials to Henan on an empty stomach.
The Henan Disaster Relief Committee could not withstand the pressure of public opinion, and began to move at full speed. At least on the surface, they were doing their best to provide disaster relief. The garrison on the border between Shaanxi and Henan no longer intercepted the refugees fleeing the famine. This made Shaanxi provincial officials scold Zhou Hexuan for being troublesome every day.
.
The troubled Zhou Hexuan was grounded.
The two gates of the Zhou Mansion are guarded by guards around the clock. These soldiers have a good background and belong to Chiang Kai-shek's outer guards. They are the ones who are usually responsible for guarding the door and clearing the way for Chiang Kai-shek.
As soon as Zhou Hexuan stepped out of his house, he would be stopped by the guards, who would then invite him back very respectfully. After Zhou Hexuan made several harassing phone calls, Chiang Kai-shek finally relented and allowed Zhou Hexuan to go fishing on the river.
Zhou Hexuan also conscientiously carried out the task of reading history assigned by Chiang Kai-shek, and published his first relevant paper during the Spring Festival of 1943: "An Exploration of the Death of Shen Wansan in Ming History."
On this day, Chang Kaishen had just finished reading the frontline battle report when the secretary suddenly came in with a paper and said: "Chief Sir, this is the historical reading experience sent by Mr. Zhou."
Chang Kaishen got angry when he saw the title and cursed: "Asshole, I asked him to understand the disaster of the Donglin Party, but he studied the death of Shen Wansan for me!"
The attendant secretary stood aside quietly, not daring to speak.
Chang Kaishen asked: "Have you read this article?"
"I didn't say that." said the attendant secretary.
"Then why did he write about Shen Wansan's death?" Chang Kaishen was quite speechless.
The attendant secretary said: "Mr. Zhou believes that the content about Shen Wansan in "History of the Ming Dynasty" is fabricated. Zhu Yuanzhang never exiled Shen Wansan at all."
Since the late Qing Dynasty, "History of the Ming Dynasty" has been a key research object in the field of Chinese history, and is often associated with the revolution. Since the tyranny of the Manchu Qing Dynasty is to be overthrown, the injustice of the Manchu Qing Dynasty must be proven, and thus the Zhu family must
The royal family is renamed.
Until the Anti-Japanese War, "History of the Ming Dynasty" was still a popular knowledge.
Historians in the Kuomintang-controlled areas studied "History of the Ming Dynasty" to summarize the lessons of the fall of the Ming Dynasty. The Republic of China was like the Ming Dynasty, and the Japanese invasion was like the Manchu Qing Dynasty entering the customs. Taking history as a mirror, they warned the National Government how to cultivate governance and love the people, and how to resist foreign invaders. For example, during the Anti-Japanese War
At the beginning, historians used the internal strife in the Southern Ming Dynasty as an example and called for the country to be defended by sharing the same hatred and resisting Japan.
Historians in occupied areas, on the other hand, eulogized the national heroes of the late Ming Dynasty and expressed their patriotic enthusiasm by playing side games.
Of course, since Chang Kaishen was a follower of Wang Yangming, there were also a large number of Ming historians specializing in the study of Hongzhi and Zhengde dynasties.
Throughout the Republic of China, there were a vast number of research works on Ming history. Later netizens criticized the Donglin Party and questioned Yuan Chonghuan's arguments as early as that time, but Yuan Chonghuan was still considered a national hero, while the Donglin Party became notorious.
Chang Kaishen also likes to read history books, especially "History of the Ming Dynasty". After all, he admires Wang Yangming.
After his anger dissipated, Chang Kaishen immediately flipped through Zhou Hexuan's paper, and the more he read, the more interesting it became.
According to the "History of the Ming Dynasty: Biography of the Concubines": "Shen Xiu, a man who enriched the people in Wuxing, helped build one of the three cities of the capital, and also asked for rewards for the army. The emperor said angrily: 'A common man rewards the emperor's army, which is causing chaos for the people, so it is appropriate to punish him.' The queen admonished: ' When I hear the law, I will punish those who violate the law, not to punish the unlucky... The unknown people will be disasters from heaven, so how can your majesty punish them!' It was Shi Xiu who garrisoned Yunnan."
This is the origin of the long-circulated story about Shen Wansan. Because Shen Wansan paid for the construction of one-third of the city wall and wanted to pay for the army, it immediately aroused Zhu Yuanzhang's fear. Zhu Yuanzhang originally wanted to kill Shen Wansan. Third, after being remonstrated by Empress Ma, Shen Wansan was finally exiled to Yunnan instead.
There are also various unofficial stories among the people, such as a cornucopia of treasures, and Shen Wansan attained enlightenment and became an immortal in Yunnan. Some people even claimed to have seen Shen Wansan during the Kangxi period.
However, Zhou Hexuan said in the article that he collected a copy of "Wujiang County Chronicle" inscribed in the Qianlong Period. According to this county chronicle, Shen Wansan had already died under Zhang Shicheng's rule, and he was not at all close to Zhu Yuanzhang, let alone It was impossible to provide money to help Zhu Yuanzhang build the city wall.
The source of historical data for "Wujiang County Chronicles" is "Wujiang Chronicles", and the compilers of "Wujiang Chronicles" are Shen Wansan's children and relatives, so there is almost no possibility of lying.
In other words, Shen Wansan was born in the Yuan Dynasty and died in the Yuan Dynasty. It has nothing to do with the Ming Dynasty. When he was alive, Zhu Yuanzhang had not yet occupied Wujiang. The place where he lived was occupied by Zhang Shicheng, and Zhang Shicheng and Zhu Yuanzhang They were sworn enemies. If Shen Wansan had paid to help Zhu Yuanzhang build the city wall, Zhu Yuanzhang would not have had to exile him to Yunnan. His whole family would have been killed by Zhang Shicheng long ago.
When "Wujiang County Chronicles" quoted historical materials from "Wujiang Chronicles", the Qing Dynasty's "History of the Ming Dynasty" had already been compiled. The compiler of the county chronicles did not dare to overthrow the "History of the Ming Dynasty", and was even more afraid of getting into trouble, so he specifically noted the details at the end and said that the historical materials had Error, I can't figure out who is right and who is wrong, I just quoted previous information.
From this, Zhou Hexuan questioned the credibility of the "History of the Ming Dynasty". The "Biography of Empress Ma" in the "History of the Ming Dynasty" was all falsified. Who knew that other places were not fake? Then Zhou Hexuan quoted the information from the "Shilu of the Ming Dynasty" and the "History of the Ming Dynasty" After comparing before and after, we found many contents that maliciously vilified the emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
The most ridiculous thing is the record about Zhu Houzhao. In the "Records of the Ming Dynasty", Zhu Houzhao is said to be wise and powerful, capable of conquering and fighting. He has great respect for the ministers who are really capable of doing practical things, and dismisses most of the bureaucrats who have nothing to do. And when it comes to the "Ming Dynasty" compiled by the Qing Dynasty, In "History of the Ming Dynasty", Zhu Houzhao dotes on treacherous eunuchs, is absurd and unruly, and is simply a first-rate faint king.
The paper Zhou Hexuan handed over to Chang Kaishen was a special version. He compared Chiang Kai-shek to the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Although he worked hard to govern, he was deceived by a group of corrupt officials. He also cited the example of disaster relief in the late Ming Dynasty to compare the corruption in disaster relief in Henan today. , I hope Chiang Kai-shek can severely punish the offending officials.
Of course, the published papers do not include this paragraph, but contain more research on Shen Wansan’s life.
