Chapter 367: The War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression
Fat Wei then formulated a kidnapping plan. Although the name was not good-sounding, that was the essence of it.
Fat Wei's meaning is very simple. It doesn't matter whether the kid knows what's going on. Anyway, he is in the mainland now, so it will be easy to handle...
First kidnap the kid, then hold him in your hands, and then call his father in Taiwan.
See if he can get anything out of his father's mouth.
If his father really doesn't know, let his father find a way to find out. A large number of direct descendants of the Kong family are in Taiwan, so there can always be some clues.
In short, no matter what, if you get this child first, everything else will be easy...
Chen Zhi did not express any objection this time. Although Fat Wei's tricks were a little immoral, at this time, he could not care about them.
Let alone kidnapping a child, he would not hesitate even if he turned Shandong upside down.
So the next day, the two of them set off for Confucius Mansion!!
They left in a hurry. Ji Ying did not ask Chen Zhi where he was going or when he would be back.
But from the look in her eyes, Chen Zhi knew that Ji Ying had guessed something...
There are direct flights from City Z to the capital of Shandong Province, but if you want to go to Qufu, you have to land and transfer, so the journey is longer than expected.
I was very bored on the plane. Pangwei was upset because he couldn't smoke, so he kept asking the stewardess for drinks.
Chen Zhi turned on his phone and put it into airplane mode, then flipped through the information.
These materials were all collected during this period and contain secret rumors about the Kong family.
This kind of news from the grapevine is like this. It sounds legendary, but it is always somewhat true.
In contrast, the news under the light always feels like it lacks some real flavor.
Judging from these data, this noble family, which has been revered by the land of China for thousands of years, also has a lot of insults.
Many literati look down on the Kong family, saying that they are hypocritical and use the name of their ancestors to cover themselves.
Others say that on the surface they come from a noble and scholarly family, but in fact they are minions of those in power.
Every direct lineage head of the Confucius family has unclear political relations with those in power.
Even at the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, many scholars scolded these Confucian people, saying that they were full of benevolence, justice, morality, loyalty to the emperor, and patriotism.
But when the Qing army entered the pass, he did not die for the country. In the end, he became an official in the Qing court, losing the integrity of a scholar and the face of his ancestors~~
Some people even used the story of the former head of the country, Kong Decheng, to go to Taiwan, saying that they were actually traitors who were captured and sent to Taiwan after they failed to seek refuge with the Japanese.
This matter is not groundless, because there are also some secret old documents that were circulated together. It was a tabloid from that era~~
The tabloid clearly stated that before the fall of Qufu in 1938, the head of the Confucius House once hosted a banquet for Tian, Kubo, and others, the leaders of the Japanese invasion of China.
During the banquet, money and supplies were presented for military use, and flattering words were used to strengthen "Sino-Japanese friendship."
This act of betraying the country and seeking glory was caught red-handed and published in the newspaper...
This was a huge scandal at the time...
As for this incident, it was quickly calmed down later on. It is not clear how exactly it was calmed down. After all, in that turbulent era, not many people cared about these trivial things.
All I know is that this matter has been put to rest, everyone's anger has been calmed, and the Kong family's innocence has been cleared.
Then no one mentioned it again...
Until December of the 26th year of the Republic of China, the 72nd Division stationed in Yanzhou, under the orders of Chairman Chiang Kai-shek, arranged for Kong Shoucheng and his wife to leave their hometown overnight and took them away from Shandong...
Not long after, Kong Shoucheng issued an anti-Japanese declaration in Wuhan on behalf of the Kong family, clarifying his position.
The press at the time praised the event, saying that on the eve of the Anti-Japanese War, Japan had repeatedly sent personnel to Qufu to invite Kong Shoucheng to Japan to attend the inauguration ceremony of the Japanese Confucius Temple, but they were all rejected.
From this we can see that Kong Shoucheng was a scholar who would never give in to evil forces.
From then on, Kong Shoucheng never returned to Shandong. He held various high-level positions in Taiwan and lived a peaceful and prosperous life~~
However, the strange thing is that the old man did not dare to return to the mainland or Qufu, Shandong where he was born, until his death. This aroused the suspicion of many people.
To this day, the political situation in the entire country has become much brighter, and many Kong family members come back every year to pay homage to their ancestors and visit relatives~~
However, the past events of the Anti-Japanese War are still a very sensitive topic for the Kong family. Everyone who has been in contact with them knows not to mention this in front of the Kong family...
When Chen Zhi was reading these documents, he was so engrossed that he didn't notice that Fat Wei next to him had also been reading them for a long time.
Fat Wei smiled while watching, with a look of disdain on his face, as if he had seen through something.
"Why are you laughing?" Chen Zhi locked his phone and looked at Fat Wei with interest.
"What do you understand?"
"What can I, an uneducated old man, understand?",
Although Fat Wei laughed at himself, his face was still full of disdain.
"I just want to say that no matter where in life these sour cultural people go, they will have so many dramas.
When it comes to writing, each one is more capable than the other, but when it comes to the end, they all give in!!
Damn, she’s all a fucking drama star!!
Descendants of Confucius, haha..."
"What do you mean?" Chen Zhi was now more and more interested in Fat Wei's words.
"Do you know anything?
You mean during the Anti-Japanese War, they..."
"Hey!! But I didn't say anything~~" Fat Wei immediately waved his hand,
"I dare not slander such a noble family.
If you want to say something, I’ll tell you about the history!!”
"History of the Ming Dynasty?" Chen Zhi suddenly felt a little funny,
"Do you still understand Ming history?"
"Of course, of course!!!", Fat Wei immediately straightened his collar seriously,
"Didn't I tell you? Those who are fighting against you are all half-historians. Don't always think of your fat man as a cultural person.
I will talk to you about the history of Ming Dynasty now!!
In your eyes, who were the eunuchs in the East and West factories in the Ming Dynasty?
They are all eunuchs who bring disaster to the country and the people, right? They are all traitorous ministers and corrupt officials and bastards that are despised by thousands of people!!
And what is the Donglin Party?
They are all literati with high moral character, the top picks in the past dynasties, they are all gentlemen, and they are all loyal ministers!!
To use the words of a sour scholar at that time, the Donglin Party and the eunuchs are incompatible with loyalties and traitors and cannot be considered the same.
But guess what these two groups did when the Ming Dynasty was breached?
Haha, I guess you won’t even think about it until you die..."
