Chapter 276: Loyalty, Filial Piety and Righteousness, All Are Missing

"kill……"

"Kill..."

That night, none of the people and gentry in Qingzhou City had a good sleep.

The fierce fighting and gunfire scared them so much that they were trembling. Many people were even worried that the arson bullet would be sent into the city. They were all terrified.

Fortunately, the fight is mostly carried out outside the city, and there seems to be no big deal in the city.

In addition to the fires in the treasury and the tribute court!

As a result, when it was dawn, a large number of Zheng army soldiers entered the city and completely took over the entire Qingzhou city. Only then did the people in the city feel at ease.

Yes, it’s just that the people are at ease, while the gentry are still worried.

Don’t they completely unaware of the things Zheng Zhilong did in Denglai Palace? Besides, the gentry of Qingzhou joined forces to cheat Li Shiyuan, and Li Shiyuan was Zheng Zhilong’s maid. There was still a lot of grudges between the two sides. Now that Qingzhou has been taken down by Zheng Zhilong, aren’t all the gentry and wise men nervous?

But now that Cao Yu's whole family is killed, there seems to be no one who wants to find someone who is qualified to say a word to the gentry of Qingzhou in front of Zheng Zhilong.

After entering the city, Zheng Jun first put martial law in the whole city, strictly prohibiting everyone from going out, and then arranged sentries in the streets and alleys, and only after taking control of the city was fully controlled, the ban was released. This is the old routine for military soldiers to enter the city.

At the same time, a large number of surrendered soldiers were also surrendered at the three gates in the north and south, and the captured 3400 and 8 Banners were also imprisoned quickly.

"Let me see these people. I will make them well later."

Although most of the more than 500 captured people from the Eight Banners were Han military flags, who could tell? After cutting off their heads, in the eyes of the people, they all kept money and rat tails.

"Duke, Mr. Cao, and the Fang family, the Feng family was killed by Haoge's whole family yesterday."

Zheng Zhilong, sitting on the high hall of Qingzhou Prefecture, looked a little embarrassed. There were many people in Qingzhou Prefecture who should be cleaned, but the list would never include the Cao family. In other words, among the famous families in Yidu, the Cao family still passed the performance.

"The Cao family refused to serve in the Qing Dynasty. There is still a reason to destroy the Cao family before Haoge left. But the Fang family and the Feng family have served in the Qing Dynasty. Why were they slaughtered? Could it be that they were going to change jobs and rebel when they see the opportunity?" Zheng Zhilong was a little puzzled.

"The Duke of the State is wise. According to Yao Wenchang's instructions, Fang Kezhuang was about to rebel. He made an appointment with Feng Pu, colluded with the Cao family, and secretly formed several middle-level officers in the army. As a result, the plan was not close and everything was seen by Sun Zhixie. Sun Zhixie turned around and reported to Haoge, causing all the three families to be destroyed. The children of the side branches may have escaped their lives, and the direct descendants were all killed at full speed." Men, women, young and old, and no one was left.

"Sun Zhixie?"

Zheng Zhilong heard a very familiar name and immediately threw his previous doubts behind his head.

If the Cao family is destroyed, it will be destroyed. Although it is a pity, Zheng Zhilong will go to the grave to sautify a few sticks of incense.

But Sun Zhixie is a "big celebrity". This guy was notorious in later generations. He was previously appointed as the governor of Denglai by the Qing Dynasty. When Zheng Zhilong engaged in a counterattack, he fled out of Laizhou early and was no longer seen by Zheng Zhilong. However, he never thought that he had done nothing in Denglai and left a hand in Qingzhou City.

"Sun Zhixie, who can still be loyal to the Qing Dynasty under the current situation, is this Sun Zhixie..." Zheng Sen shook his head and sighed, cursing in his heart.

The current situation is very unfavorable to the Qing Dynasty. In such a big situation, Zheng Sen did not think that Sun Zhixie was a decisive person, or was really shocked by the turtle spirit of the Qing Dynasty. He would only think that he was a person who was obsessed with interests, for being an official, for power and wealth, and even wanted his own life.

Sun Zhixie, who was invaded into the eunuch party and had no chance to turn around under the Ming Dynasty, wanted to become an official in this life, only the Qing Dynasty could rely on the Qing Dynasty.

Zheng Zhilong also thought of this. Although he sighed at the death of Cao Yu's family, Sun Zhixiu's choice was unexpected.

Although Sun Zhixie is a shameless person who is obsessed with interests, now it seems that there is still something good about it - Zheng Zhilong admires this grandson's courage.

Just like the princes of the Zhu family who want money and don’t live, this bird man is also a person who wants officials and don’t live.

It takes great courage to make such a choice under the current situation. Sun Zhixie is much braver than he thought.

After all, judging from the current situation, the progress of various Ming troops can only be described as the word "out of power".

No matter what the final effect of the Ming army's Northern Expedition would be, just now, the advantages can be all over the Ming army. "It's good to be a hit in the Tartars now, and the whole family's crematorium will be in the future" is really not nonsense under the current situation!

But Sun Zhixiu dared to go all the way to the dark...

I really have to admire people like Zheng Zhilong who is "safety first".

If he had such a determination, he would have been erecting a pole to conquer the world by himself. He would not have lived under the banner of the Ming Dynasty for several years and had lost many brain cells because of the Shilin.

If it has developed to this point, it will be worse than the current situation.

Because Zheng Zhilong's foundation is really not very good, the environment in which he is located is few soldiers in the south who can fight.

Although he could not pull out a new army with excellent combat effectiveness step by step, in the late Ming Dynasty, he was confident that he would be the worst one.

Even now, it is hard to say that it is possible to have half of the country.

However, although these two paths are different, they both have advantages and disadvantages. Even if Zheng Zhilong was hindsight, he could not think of which one is higher or lower.

Even he could clearly realize that a large part of the reason why he thought now came from the rush in his heart...

Otherwise, with his "safety in everything is the first" personality, he would never admire his "head" head.

The Zheng army captured Qingzhou, defeated Prince Su Haoge, and was surrendered and killed 20,000 Qing troops. This was a great victory. Together with Zheng Zhilong, he killed the captured Eight Banners soldiers outside Qingzhou City, and the news that the bodies left on the battlefield were built into Jingguan, which was immediately promoted by the Black Ice Platform.

In just half a month, I heard about it from all over the country. Jinling City even received a good news from Zheng Zhilong, killing the enemy and surrendering the enemy for 20,000 people, and there were more than a thousand people in the Eight Banners True Tatars, which were a great victory that other Ming troops in the country could not obtain.

Moreover, Zheng Zhilong took Qingzhou, and the Ming army had recovered most of the Dongchang Prefecture, leaving only Jinan Prefecture for the Qing army of Qi and Lu. The area of ​​Jinan Prefecture is not small, but no matter how large it is, it is just a mansion, a mansion that Zheng army has already led its troops to kill.

This Qilu is most likely to become the first province to be recovered throughout the Ming Dynasty. Isn’t this a clear proof of the Northern Expedition and a merit of the court?

However, when the news was reported to Jinling, the good news that should have caused a sensation in the morning was like a dull little stone falling into the river. After rippling a few slight ripples, there was no more fluctuations.

At this time, the topics about Kong Yinzhi spread everywhere in Jinling City.

Zheng Zhilong not only put a big bomb on Shilin, but also posed a big problem for the Jinling court. How should Kong Yinzhi deal with this?

Should I kill or imprison, or release?

Emperor Chongzhen was quite willing to kill, but many court officials had different opinions. From the Song Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty, I have not heard of Yan Shenggong being killed. As cruel as the Jin soldiers and the Mongolian Yuan, they all obediently picked up Yan Shenggong. How could the Ming Dynasty wave a butcher knife at it?

There is much less controversy about prisoners. Because it is neither killing nor letting go. Now no one dares to completely clean Kong Yinzhi, and he cannot clean it up. Therefore, it is impossible to put it down.

It seems that "capture" is the most appropriate thing to look at.

However, the imprisonment strategy can reduce the debate in the court a lot, but it cannot calm down the heated discussions among the scholars and the people of the world.

Confucianism has great righteousness, both Xia and barbarians outside the world, and heaven and earth, king and relatives, which are very pedantic to later generations, but they cannot be violated by the ancients. If Confucius surrendered after all, would the Confucian arrangement be over?

Are loyalty, filial piety, integrity and righteousness all false and nonsense?

From the Northern Song Dynasty to Chongzhen, and even thousands of years before the Northern Song Dynasty, the Kong family of Qufu was favored by all dynasties, no matter whether it was the Han people or the Hu people's country.

The Han and Wei were called Baocheng, Baozun, Zongsheng, and in Jin and Song dynasties, the Later Wei was called Chongsheng, the Northern Qi was called Gongsheng, the Later Zhou dynasties and the Sui Dynasty were also named Zou Kingdom, and in the early Tang Dynasty it was called Baosheng. In Kaiyuan, Confucius was posthumously named King Wenxuan, and later became Duke Wenxuan. In the Northern Song Dynasty, it was Duke Yansheng.

Many of the Kong family members have been deeply grateful to the country, but these people are full of benevolence, righteousness and truth, and loyalty to the emperor and serve the country. At the time of the change of dynasties, there was no loyal and righteous man. This was the case in the Song Dynasty, the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty is still the case now.

When they see the wind, they turn to the master for glory, and turn to the new master, they run the fastest.

How can such a shameless villain become a saint?

Therefore, in today's southern country, a great chaos that affected the people, the scholars and the courts had begun.

Zheng Zhilong knew this very well. For him, it was good to be so chaotic. The more chaotic the Shilin court and the people, the better, because the more chaotic the more it is, the greater the impact.

Just like Li Zhi, when he opened the temple to give lectures, no matter which temple, the deep mountains and forests, monks, woodcutters, farmers, and even women bravely pushed open the shy door of the boudoir. Almost all the city and all the streets came to listen to his lectures. He was like an academic star who swept through Confucianism, Buddhism and the people.

It had a strong impact on traditional ideas and was regarded as "herethical" and "evil" by the local conservative forces. They siege them and wanted to expel him from the country. But people may be able to be driven away, but their influence has been planted.

The main reason is that the stains on Kong Yinzhi's body are unavoidable. No one can deny that Kong Yinzhi's back first and his back first surrenders to the Qing Dynasty. Is such a shameless behavior worthy of contacting Kong Sheng?

Since the Song Dynasty, with the establishment and development of Neo-Confucianism, the "Three Bonds" have gradually become prominent and sacred. "Loyalty, filial piety, righteousness and righteousness" as a synonym for the "Three Bonds" has also become a popular term in society and a universal value recognized by all people in the society. By the Ming Dynasty, people in society had more than the Five Constant Virtues. When it comes to morality, they often summarized it with "Loyalty, filial piety, chastity and righteousness".

In today's society, the four words "loyalty, filial piety, integrity and righteousness" are completely well-known to everyone, and are well-known to everyone.

Loyal ministers, filial sons, righteous husbands, and polite women are completely matched with the "the king is the leader of the minister, the father is the leader of the son, and the husband is the leader of the wife". The Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism, which has been developed for hundreds of years, has sacred and absoluteized it, and has become an eternal and unchanging "nature" shared by ancient and modern times and shared by people!

This concept has been well known and respected by the world. In addition to becoming the highest moral code of conduct, it has also become an iron chain that confines people's thoughts, clamps people's hearts, and binds people's body.

Now Kong Yinzhi and the others have violated this "nature principle" indecisively. How can they not be despised by thousands of people?

If the court spared Kong Yinzhi, wouldn’t it be a slap in the face? Wouldn’t it be a loud voice to the people of the court and the people and others?

"There is a Taoist scholar. He has high clogs, big shoes, long sleeves, broad belts, a crown of regularity, human relations, picking up one or two papers and ink, and kissing three or four lips, and calling himself a disciple of Zhen Zhongni. When he met Liu Xie, Liu Xie, a smart man, saw him and laughed, "I don't know my brother Zhongni." The man was so angry that he stood up and said, "'The heaven did not give birth to Zhongni, it will be like a long night'. Who dares to call Zhongni and brother?" Liu Xie said, "It's strange that the saints above Emperor Xi burned paper candles all day long and walked!" The man stopped silently. How could he know how extreme his words were!

When Li Sheng heard this, he said: This is simple and appropriate, and there is more to say, so that he can break the doubt net and reveal the world. His words are like this, and people can tell that. Although it is a joke for a while, it cannot be changed for a lifetime.
