Chapter 646. The Reform of Neo-Confucianists
A coup came so suddenly. In just one night, the sky in the Southern Ming Dynasty changed again.
The Donglin Party’s secret tricks were numerous and powerful! The overwhelming ministers kowtowed and bowed down. Chongzhen could not bear it back then, let alone the unspoken Emperor Hongguang. As Ruan Dacheng expected, as soon as he left with Ma Shiying, Qian Qianyi and others immediately forced the palace. Outside, Zhang Pu and Zhang Cai led Fushe students to make trouble, and eighty or ninety percent of the ministers kowtowed and impeached him in anger. Zhu Yousong still couldn’t resist it. That night, he issued an imperial edict to remove Ma Shiying’s position as the chief minister of the cabinet, and decided to establish more than 30 people, including Ma Shiying, Ruan Dacheng, Liu Kongzhao, Zuodu Censor Wu Weixing, and more than 20 crimes such as eunuchs, affair with military generals, abuse of power, and corruption, were mostly death row.
Donglin was not only ruthless, but also did not hesitate! Early in the morning, the eldest grand secretary Ma Shiying, the eldest son Ma Luan, the second son Ma Sei, the daughter Ma Ling and other dozens of people were tied up and put into prison carts, and taken to Caishikou for investigation. Even the three officials of Dali Temple did not leave. The situation changed too much. Yesterday, he was a minister and a noble family. Today, he ended up with his head to the ground. The entire Taiping Lane where Ma Shiying lives was filled with crying.
The prison car was escorted at the forefront, and Ma Shiying himself sighed, and then walked onto the main street, and happened to meet the sincere man Liu Kongzhao and his party. He was stunned for a moment. This person held his fists with great difficulty.
"Brother Liu, Ma Yaocao is so sorry for you!"
He had not yet come back to his senses from the coup. Listening to Ma Shiying's apologies, Liu Bowen's descendant showed Naizu's courage, and roared with resentment while thrusting his neck.
"Ma Xiang, Liu won't blame you! If you want to blame him for his empty talk and misleading the country, he is despicable and shameless Donglin thieves, they are called scholars in vain! Even if my blood splatters three feet away, I, Liu Kongzhao, will turn into a ghost. Just on this Yingtian City, see how they defeated the city, fell into a city, died and became a sinner for the ages!"
"Bah! Qian Qianyi! Jiang Yueguang, you won't die a good death!"
The indignant curses were heartbreaking, and along the way, countless Yingtian residents were looking forward, and they were immediately shook their heads. Although Ma Shiying had not made any progress in the past year of taking office, there was no trouble. Such a big official said that the whole family would be killed if they were killed. The turmoil in the upper class was the most dangerous signal, and some major disaster might come in the future!
As all kinds of uneasy looking, prison carts gathered from all directions at the entrance of Nanjing Caishikou. Immediately, the milky white morning in Yingtiancheng was rendered blood red again.
He was afraid that the night would be long and the dream would be long, and before noon three, the man came, he was pulled out of the prison car and pushed onto the execution ground, and scolded him angrily. Even when Liu Kongzhao was pressed on the beheading platform, he kept shouting until his big head flew out. I don’t know if it was intentional. The children of Ma Shiying’s tribe were pushed to the guillotine first, and he followed several court officials and was pressed behind.
Poor his third daughter Ma Ling is only sixteen years old. She was a young lady who had not yet married yesterday. She is now naked and stripped naked. Only the remaining bellybands are difficult to cover her milky white skin. Her hands are hung tightly behind her back by a thick hemp rope. Her slender jade arms are strangled like lotus roots. Seeing her being pushed to the guillotine, Ma Shiying couldn't help but cry in tears and scream miserably.
"Son! If you bear it, you will pass. Daddy will betray you. You can walk slowly on the Naihe Bridge. Wait until Daddy, let Daddy carry you for the end!"
The black hair was snatched fiercely by the creator. He knelt on the execution ground and stretched his neck. Listening to Ma Shiying's wail, Ma Ling also stubbornly turned his head and shouted as he endured the cramps of his hair.
"Dad, don't cry, I don't hate you! I hate God for being blind, which makes these beasts in clothes arrogant. Dad, I'll take the lead!"
After saying goodbye to her sadly, the girl knelt down with a pale face, two lines of tears flowed down her cheeks, and her lips were also biting between her teeth. Because of her nervousness, her fists tightly behind her smooth spine were clenched and her nails were deeply sunken into her flesh, and her hair was erected on her white and tender neck.
The hair was straightened forward by the forward hand. He looked at the girl's little head. The back hand exhaled and raised the ghost-headed knife high and chopped it down hard. Another sound of sound of squeaking, with fear, pain and unwillingness. Ma Ling's head rolled up like Dou E who was splashing a three-foot-long banner, and her smirking body twitched to the side with blood.
When Ma Shiying himself, tears and anger were almost gone. He turned around and looked at Yingtian City, which was still shrouded in the clouds. He didn't even leave any harsh words, but couldn't help but sigh.
"I'm watching from the ground. I hope you, Qian Muzhai, can make a peaceful and prosperous era."
...........
One morning, more than 600 heads fell to the ground, which brought the power of the Southern Ming Empire a major reshuffle. However, since the year of the Tianqi period, he had fought with the popular Wei Zhongxian as soon as he came out, and then fought with the Qi, Chu and Zhejiang parties to the Chongzhen Dynasty. In the second year of Hongguang, the Donglin Party, which had been thriving for almost thirty years, reached its peak for the first time. These last disciples, who were known as Neo-Confucianists, completely took over the power of the country.
Shi Kefa was a blessing in disguise, and was pushed up to the next level and became the Grand Secretary of the Nanming Chief Secretary, but everyone knew that he was just an empty stance.
General Liu Zhouding was the second assistant, Jiang Yueguang Wang Duo entered the cabinet, Zhang Shenyan did not move, Qian Qianyi became one of the important position of Minister of War, and the remaining ministers were all from Donglin.
Finally, it was Zhang Pu. His old scholar who had been in the opposition for thousands of years, and who had been revived for countless years, could have survived the ranks of the court and became the censor of the Left Capital, and was considered a member of the local rank.
I have to admit that Donglin was very good at playing this trick. After killing people in the morning, he held Ma Shiying's head with his eyes closed and took the emperor's edict. Qian Qianyi rushed straight to Shitou City with great momentum. His backer in the court appeared in front of him in this way overnight. Even Liu Liangzuo couldn't help but be in chaos.
Originally, Jiangbei was defeated and he was seriously injured. Most of the Nanjing Imperial Army, the backbone of the army, were soldiers and generals from Nanjing. They were not on the same path as him. He knelt down in front of the entire army and received the imperial edict. He was helplessly forced to hand over the military power, and received the title of An Yihou, and was locked in the corner of Nanjing City to receive the bento.
Immediately afterwards, a large number of meritorious scholars flocked into the army. The military supervisors at all levels were so dense that even the chefs in charge had two men stared at him or not. Although they were staring at him, the combat effectiveness of the 140,000 army in Stone City had lost hundreds of times. However, since the establishment of the Southern Dynasty, the problem of warlords that had been troubled was solved by the officials of Donglin, which could be considered as opening a new look to the Hongguang Dynasty.
The only one who escaped from this catastrophe was Ruan Dacheng, which was in line with Zhuge Liang's five good deeds. He, a street rat that everyone shouted and beaten, was a good loser. It seemed that he had expected that on this day, Ruan Dahuzi had prepared all the roads and expenses that went out of the city in advance, and important items and family members were also scattered near Changshu. That night, he rushed out of the city, responding to Tianshui Pass and went straight to Shanghai County, which was controlled by Dongjiang.
However, this old guy was able to run, and he had never run over the eyeliner set up by Dongjiang in Jiangnan. When he ran to Luojia Manor on the shore of West Lake with breathlessness, in the study room facing the warm sun, Mao Jue had already studied the new policy of the Southern Dynasty that Qian Qianyi and others had announced to the world.
"The criminal Ruan Dacheng bowed to the regent for thousands of years!"
As soon as he entered the study, Ruan Dacheng was like a rice cake, and suddenly it was stuck on the ground. It could be seen that the old guy was indeed extremely embarrassed. Qiu Laohu was almost over. He was wearing a green vest robe woven by Shu brocade, but he was completely wet with sweat. A large ball of stew appeared on it. As soon as he entered the door, a sour smell was already coming to his nose. Listening to his crying voice, he sighed. Mao Jue threw down the secret treasure, but ignored him, but rubbed his temples with sorrow.
The situation in Jiangnan was set up by him. The purpose of the purpose was to compress the living space of these bourgeois germinations, cut off the income of the Southern Ming court, and force the Southern Ming Dynasty to rise up and strive to strengthen and save the country through industry, and to urge this bud. At that time, the Jiangnan bourgeoisie, who are full of aggressiveness and long for profits and overseas markets, will naturally stand in the same direction as itself.
But now, the reform of the Donglin Party has made the situation a little backfire.
A group of nerds who were born into landlords were not economic experts. Neither Qianyi nor Gao Hongtu had such information. Faced with the precarious social economy, what they did was to bring a comprehensive retreat from a society.
From south of Songjiang, all mulberry trees were cut down and burned, returned to farming, handicraft workshops were closed, workers were farmed again, tea mountains were banned, and from the Yangtze River to Fujian, merchants had to obtain the government's business recruitment before they could allow business. In terms of business recruitment qualifications, the number of already prosperous merchants was reduced by four-fifths.
The Ming Taizu's set of forbidden seas was completely taken out, and the people were not allowed to build a new ship, and the board was not allowed to be launched!
These Confucians have put in full effort to create an ideal country like Taoism, such as a Taoist Laozi, who has a small country with few people, and has no news about it, and will not interact with each other until they die! It limits the commodity economy to the limit and regresses society back to the model of a scholar-official manor in the early Ming Dynasty, and even the Wei and Jin Dynasties.
Without the commodity economy, everyone goes to the land to scatter food. Naturally, there is no economic crisis, and there is no fear of Mao Jue's economic blockade!
But the budding bourgeoisie in Jiangnan also made them take the blame!
He was so angry and anxious that even though Mao Jue ignored him and kowtowed several times on the ground, Ruan Dacheng still started shouting in a hurry and grief.
"Regent! The rebel thief Gao Hongtu, Qian Qianyi and others have rebelled!"
"They usurped power and made trouble, imprisoned the king of the regent, weaved the charges, and killed the ministers outside. The entire Jiangnan had already caused them to be mixed up with blood. Your Highness, this is a great time to defeat Jiangnan!"
"In Nanjing, there are people with ambitions who are dissatisfied with these bastards. The soldiers of the army are waiting for the battle to be held high, and the criminals are willing to be the vanguard. Your Highness, as long as you launch the heavenly army from Jiangbei, you will go upstream within half a month, the criminals will use their heads to guarantee that Jiangling can be broken!"
"no!"
