Han’s Son is Not a Slave

Chapter 1160: Daming Does Not Want Benevolent People

“During the reign of Chongzhen, the villages collapsed, and the officers and soldiers were inferior to thieves. These officers and soldiers who were not as good as thieves surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, and all kinds of atrocities in various places were inevitable.”

Zheng Zhonglei was very rational in his analysis. In his opinion, the Manchu slaughter was true, but most of the perpetrators were the Han army. Therefore, it is biased to put all the accounts on the Manchus, and it is not what the history should be. manner. If you really want to liquidate the culprit, you should liquidate the Ming army who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, not the Manchurians.

“Why did those soldiers commit massacres because they wanted to cover up their evil deeds of murder and robbery. Therefore, I never thought it was Manchu people who ordered the massacre of the city. That was unwise. After Manchu entered the customs, he respected Kong Jingru. , just like another Yuan Dynasty. I wonder, since ancient times, which regime dared to order the massacre of the city so blatantly, could it be that they want to cut themselves off from our country? Therefore, we cannot wantonly slander them just because he is our enemy.”

“Listening to Master Zheng’s tone, it seems that you have a good impression of Man Qing?”

Qi Guangxia, an Anhui native who was in charge of the Ministry of Industry and who was awarded the Jinshi by Dingwu Enke the previous year, was amused by what Zheng Zhonglei said, and couldn’t help sneering at him.

This made Zheng Zhonglei nervous. He didn’t want people to misunderstand that he was close to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and said quickly: “I just hope that everyone can view the massacre of the Manchu Qing Dynasty fairly and objectively, not because they have a good impression of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, miss me. At the beginning, the Zheng family also fought against the Qing Dynasty. There are not a few people who died in the family, so how can I have a good impression of the Qing Dynasty? Master Qi can’t talk nonsense.”

“yes?”

Qi Guangxia said coldly: “Then why did Master Zheng take the Manchu imperial examinations earlier? It stands to reason that there is hatred for the country, so why should Master Zheng not take the imperial examinations of the Qing Dynasty? You can go out.”

This incident made Zheng Zhonglei a little annoyed, and he snorted slightly: “Master Qi, we are discussing how to manage history, and what does it have to do with whether I take the Manchu imperial examination or not. If you believe that Zheng has a good impression of the Manchu, Wouldn’t you say that most of the people present were involved?”

Indeed, quite a number of officials present had taken the imperial examinations of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Zheng Zhonglei brought them in, which undoubtedly put them at risk. Therefore, they accused Qi Guangsha of being a nuisance.

“Master Qi, everyone is an official of the same dynasty, please pay attention to your words, and don’t ruin the harmony among your colleagues.”

Qi Guangsha, the censor who supported Zheng Zhonglei before, was also very disgusted.

Qi Guangxia’s brows were slightly wrinkled, and he immediately relaxed, chuckled lightly, and said, “Okay, since everyone is talking about the history of governance, with all due respect, what Mr. Zheng just said was biased. As far as I know, the old slave was massacred in Liaodong back then. I am three million Han people. At that time, I am afraid that there are not so many surrendered troops to do evil for him? It can be seen that the massacre in Manzhou has long been normal, and it is not objective to blame it on the surrendered troops to cover up the looting.”

“Outside the customs is outside the customs, how can it be the same as the things inside the customs?” The censor disagreed.

“Could it be that the people outside Guan are not my Ming people?”

Qi Guangsha was also angry. He never thought that in the eyes of this censor, the people of Daming outside the customs were not worth mentioning.

The censor realized that he had made a blunder, and said: “I am not saying that the people outside the customs are not my Ming people, but it is a matter of fact. How many places in the two Beijing and eighteen provinces were directly slaughtered by Manchurians? I think it is still those who descended. The army does a lot, so these things have little to do with the Manchurians. I tend to look at them differently.”

“I’m afraid not necessarily?”

An official of Dali Temple suddenly said: “Yangzhou City was ordered to slaughter the city by Duoduo, the Prince of Yu in the Qing Dynasty, and in Sichuan, Hauge directly ordered the slaughter of the city. Large-scale massacres were carried out in Fenzhou, Zezhou and other places in Shanxi. Dorgon ordered massacres in Tongguan, Jinan, and Datong. All of these places were directly attacked by the Manchu soldiers. How can it be said that the Manchus did not have the bad habits of massacres?”

“South of the Yangtze River, there are not a few people who directly slaughtered the city by the Manchu soldiers. This is Nanchang City. Didn’t the Manchu troops from the north led by Beiler Tantai of the Qing Dynasty to destroy the city? So why is this culprit with the Manchu people? It doesn’t matter, I can’t understand this point.” Qi Guangsha looked at Zheng Zhonglei and others with dissatisfaction.

Zheng Zhonglei was speechless for a moment, but an official behind him said: “There are few soldiers, no matter how you kill them, you will not be able to kill 100,000,000 trillion. The ones who do the most evil are the army and those thieves. This can’t be denied. ?”

“Submission to the army? Rogue?”

Qi Guangsha laughed in anger: “Then may I ask this lord, before Jiashen, did these thieves who surrendered to the army massacred cities in various places in Daming, killing hundreds of thousands or even millions at a time! Why did they surrender? After the state, this kind of thing happens again and again!”

“this….”

That official is not a person without conscience, and he didn’t have time to think about it just now. Now that I think about it, I’m afraid that this matter is really the responsibility of the Manchurians. Because during the Chongzhen period, even if the military discipline was not good, officers and soldiers would kill good people and take credit. For example, Zuo Liangyu, Liu Zeqing and others once massacred tens of thousands of people to pretend to be military merits, and they often looted and looted. Jiangyin, Jiaxing, Datong, Fuzhou, Chaozhou, Guangzhou, and Sichuan have killed millions at a time, and the entire city has been wiped out. The massacre of the city was still after the surrender of the former Ming army and the thieves to the Qing army. Therefore, whether the Manchurians were the culprits of the massacre should be a foregone conclusion, and there is no room for whitewashing.

The Dali Temple official who helped Qi Guangsha speak added: “I have never heard that the lackeys will bite people without the master’s order. Moreover, every time the Qing army slaughtered the city, most of the robbery proceeds went to the Manchu soldiers. It is not difficult to see that the fact that the massacre was carried out by the Manchus was not the culprit, but who was the culprit!”

Many officials who previously thought that Zheng Zhonglei and others’ analysis was reasonable also nodded at this time, agreeing with what the Qi Guangsha and the Dali Temple official said. I think that those who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty were just because they were afraid of the full army, so without the consent of the Manchurians, how could they dare to act on their own unless they did not want to live.

Outside the crowd, a young voice sounded, “Actually, you all forgot the fact that it was not because the Manchurians didn’t want to slaughter the city directly, but because they were few in number and couldn’t kill them, that’s why they forced the surrendered army to slaughter the city. This will allow them to return with a full reward. In the final analysis, these Manchus are not Chinese people, and they just regard our China as a place to hunt, loot and make money, and only then can they wantonly slaughter cities and beasts in my Daming.”

The speaker was Enke Tanhua Wang Ziwen, a native of Jiujiang, and the current employee of the Ministry of Works. In addition to Wang Ziwen, several officials refuted the “objective” analysis of Zheng Zhonglei and others, and even pointed out that Zheng Zhonglei and others had ulterior motives.

This made Zheng Zhonglei and the censor feel uneasy, but fortunately, all the officials present were the officials of the Sixth Division and Jiuqing.

Although these officials are now arguing fiercely, they are essentially on the same boat, or they would not be “escorted” by the pro-military to visit the Holocaust memorials everywhere. Some people even contributed a lot to the previous “reverse look” trend.

“So much has been said, so what if the Manchurians did it, what if it wasn’t for them, things are always in the past, do we really want to keep these things in our hearts, really want to be like them, and go to the north in the future Kill them all?”

The censor of the Imperial Court was indignant, believing that Qi Guangsha and the others had all read into the belly of a dog, and the saint said “benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom and filial piety”, and they could not forget the word “benevolence and righteousness”. What is China, benevolence and righteousness is, to conquer the four directions with virtue, to make the four barbarians return to their hearts, isn’t it the way of the sages?

“If a dog bites a person, can a person bite back like a dog? If so, what is the difference between this person and a dog?” Zheng Zhonglei was stubborn.

“We don’t have to bite it back, but we can beat the dog to death with a stick. Only in this way can the dog know what the fate of the offender will be.” Qi Guangxia said coldly.

Tanhua Wang Ziwen squeezed past the first few, came to Zheng Zhonglei, glanced at them, and then said slowly: “As I said, what if we just bite back? Manchurians are not dogs, what they can do, why do we do it No. I have already decided that when I return to the southern capital, I will write to the imperial court, requesting the King of Qi to lead the northern expedition, and make him, old and young, in Manzhou, to do the same, so as to shock the four barbarians!”

Others may still be in awe of Tanhua, but Zheng Zhonglei is in the service of the official department, and he is a dignitary of the department, so he didn’t care, he snorted, and said: “Tanhua Lang, I will wait to read poetry and books, for the sake of it. It is to govern the country by the world, not to be a beast.”

“It’s useless to talk too much, Brother Zheng, let’s go, they want to be beasts, and let them do it, let’s be human. Set up your mind for the heaven and the earth, set up your life for the people, follow the sages of the past, and create peace for the world. What my generation did!”

Seeing that the number of officials on their side was getting smaller and smaller, the censor of the Supreme Court took Zheng Zhonglei to leave the place.

“Bah, these people are also worthy of creating peace for the world?” Qi Guangsha couldn’t help but snort as he watched Zheng Zhongda and the others go away.

“They are getting old.” Tanhua Wang Ziwen shook his head slightly.

“old?”

Qi Guangsha and the officials of the Dali Temple were startled when they heard the words, Zheng Zhonglei was in middle age, how could he be old.

Wang Ziwen pointed to his head and said to them, “It’s getting old here.”

“Maybe.”

Zheng Zhonglei also shook his head and stopped talking about it. Everyone has their own ideas and their own views on things. He can’t force others to accept his ideas~www.readwn.com~ The so-called Tao is different, and there is nothing to say.

After experiencing this small disturbance, the officials gathered together again to discuss their views, and when the time came, they returned to the hall.

In the hall, Ding Zhixiang and Jiangxi Governor Li Zhicui were there. Seeing that the officials were all out, he led them out of the museum and went to the hotel to rest. There are still schedules for the next two days, and the time is tightly arranged, and there is no delay at all.

When passing through the middle of the square engraved with the names of the victims of the massacre, Qi Guangsha felt that there seemed to be a few fewer people in the team, and felt that something was wrong. He glanced back and forth and asked the people around him in confusion: “Zheng Zhonglei, where did they go? Why aren’t you in the team?”

“Which Zheng Zhonglei?” The official was stunned.

“it’s him.”

“I don’t know, maybe let’s go first.”

“gone?”

Qi Guangsha was very confused, but he didn’t think much about it.

………

In the corpse hall of the memorial hall, several pro-military fans were dragging out several corpses, and long blood marks were dragged out from the ground.

Inside the corpse hall, Pan Xuezhong, a thousand householder in the army, looked at the pile of bones in front of him, with no expression on his face. The red lantern hung above him, making his face gloomy and terrifying.

“I don’t want you to die in confusion. Your Highness has a life. From now on, I will not want people who are benevolent and righteous, and don’t forget those who have history. So this official put you here so that you can know why you died.”

After speaking, Pan Xuezhong leaned out and placed the three heads in front of him on the pile of bones.

These three heads belonged to Zheng Zhonglei, the former Censor of the Imperial Court and an official of the Ministry of Rites.

I don’t know if it was deliberate, or if I really refused to rest my eyes, the eyes of the three heads were wide open.
