Chapter 709 Opinion Basket Lin Fucheng, Arrested
Yue Fei has extremely strict requirements for his soldiers. This strictness is integrated from top to bottom. For example, Yue Fei’s son Yue Yun, riding a horse in the army, When climbing the slope, because he failed to control the horse well, the horse fell to the ground. Yue Fei immediately took out his military whip and punished Yue Yun.
Yue Yun joined the army at the age of twelve. He accompanied his father on three Northern Expeditions and made outstanding achievements repeatedly. He took over the six counties of Xiangyang and attacked Suizhou. He was the first to climb the city wall and was known as the winning officer in the army. Even though he was so brave, Yue Fei still did not give Yue Yun any preferential treatment.
A soldier took a bundle of cotton and linen from a civilian without telling him, and was executed without mercy as a sign of favoritism to the military. The soldier stayed outside the door at night, and the people opened the door and were willing to accept him. However, if the soldier dared to enter, he would be dealt with according to military law. So wherever the soldiers went, they never entered any people's homes, because if the soldiers were armed and entered people's homes, they would see people greedy for money.
While military laws are strictly enforced, soldiers are treated very well. There is a pharmacy in the army, and family members can receive medical treatment. If the generals and soldiers are guarding the border far away, their wives will be regularly sent to express their condolences. If the border is stable, strongholds, ditches, and plowing will be built to stabilize the border; if a soldier unfortunately dies, the Shenwu Rear Army, that is, the collective of the Yue Family Army, will support their orphans and widowers; as long as there are rewards from the court, Yue Fei, Jun Generals must not hide their secrets.
As for drinking the blood of soldiers, that means frequently beating, scolding, and corporal punishment, enslaving soldiers to hard labor, depriving soldiers of pay and rations, etc., and immediately beheading them.
The two Song dynasties have never promoted civility and military affairs, but emphasized civility over military affairs, and comprehensively suppressed warriors. Even internal peace was higher than fighting against foreigners. They would rather be bullied by barbarians than give warriors any power. and the improvement of social status, which in turn resulted in the two Song Dynasties' civil and military affairs. Literature could not stabilize the country, but military force could not stabilize the country.
Thieves and armies, these three words are a true portrayal of the late Northern Song Dynasty. All soldiers are thieves and armies. Whether it is the Imperial Forbidden Army or the four million Xiang army, the only ones that can fight are border guards. The Western Army of the Song Dynasty.
In the Northern Song Dynasty, there were so many famous names, could no one see this kind of harm? Of course there are, and there are many of them, but based on historical experience, the court did not know what to do. Redundant soldiers were the first of the three redundants in the Northern Song Dynasty. Regarding the social positioning of soldiers, the Northern Song Dynasty court was also relatively confused and did not know what to do with soldiers. , I have no choice but to follow the rules. Whatever I did in the past, I will do the same now.
During the Tianqing period of the Northern Song Dynasty, Yue Fei and a group of generals from lower-class backgrounds began to actively explore the social positioning of the military. The military institutions in the Central Plains began to evolve, from simple killing machines and violent institutions to socially stable institutions. The transformation of ballast stone means assuming more social responsibilities and striving for more obligations.
This transformation of the Central Plains military structure should have been completed in the ten years of Shaoxing, but everything came to an abrupt end because of the peace agreement between Song Gaozong Zhao Gou and the Jin people.
Qi Jiguang and Yue Fei are really very similar. When the Japanese pirates were raging, they explored the social status of soldiers and the evolution of military institutions, and finally proposed to report to the emperor and rescue the head of Guizhou. This is the current Jingying camp. And the military spirit of the navy.
The military spirit is engraved in the bones of soldiers relying on military discipline. Such an army has been active in Nanya for many years and has created a broad environment for supporting the army. However, it also has its fragmentation. The wealthy, arrogant and powerful people Right, still looks down on soldiers.
Going to rescue the head of Guizhou has a lot of content. Zhejiang Jiuying went out to patrol to fight the flood. On the one hand, it will never take action against the people. On the other hand, it is to prevent the phenomenon of killing good people and taking credit for merit. In fact, it is to shoulder social responsibilities and restrain violence. .
Lin Fucheng's attitude is very clear. In the past, soldiers who behaved like a grate were a factor of social instability. It was correct to promote civilized and military forces. However, the Ming Dynasty had strict military discipline and assumed more social responsibilities. The army became the ballast of the Ming Dynasty, and it was the army that finally stabilized the strength and means. Besides, the promotion of civility and military affairs interrupted the evolution of military institutions. Like Song Gaozong and Zhao Gou, they must bear the historical guilt.
Lin Fucheng expressed his opinions completely, and Li Zhi gave his thumbs up. This old Lin was still as eloquent as ever, and refuted the views of Xingwen and Wu from the perspective of the development and evolution of the military system.
When Lin Fucheng raised Xingwen and Wu to the height of unification, the scholars in Yanzheng Tower turned their attention to Lin Fucheng. After all, the views of Ma Jinglun and Yuan Zongdao were all I was a little tired of hearing clichés, but Lin Fucheng's words successfully attracted everyone's attention.
All the scholars present thought of what happened in Chongdefang a few days ago. Qin Zhongke still refused to fight back even when someone was supporting him. This is not cowardice, but the development and development of the military system. Evolution, this is beneficial to everyone. There are 100,000 navy soldiers in Songjiang Prefecture. If the violence is out of control, which family can withstand it?
“I brought a few hats.” Lin Fucheng smiled and took out a pile of hats, which were his props for today’s meeting.
Lin Fucheng’s gatherings require tickets, and the prices are not cheap. The ticket price alone for a gathering costs at least 700 taels of silver, which is enough to cover the Chu Association’s annual expenses. , he also carefully prepared various flower arrangements to make the scholars feel that they were worth their money.
"These hats represent all kinds of people in the Ming Dynasty. Some people wear one hat, and some people wear several hats." Lin Fucheng took out the first hat and said: "You are a guest."
This first hat had already made everyone present feel short of breath. Even Li Zhi looked at the Tianzihao box again and confirmed that His Majesty was not here today, otherwise anyone wearing this hat would be a traitor.
The world is dominated by the emperor and the guests are guests. This is a common view in Zhejiang. It is a comprehensive opposition to the "family world" and is the anti-thief among anti-thiefs.
Lin Fucheng also learned about this point of view when he had a discussion in Zhejiang. Guests have the same meaning as the guests of the guest star. They are guests. During the Qin, Han, Tang, Song, Yuan and Ming Dynasties, dynasties changed, and the emperors had different surnames. The world has always been The world is not a family, but a world for everyone. The emperor is a guest, so this argument is an anti-thief argument, but this is the fact.
Why are there kings and emperors in the world? Let the world benefit from it and relieve the harm from it.
The word "emperor" is the final result of the great speculation on the chaos of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. There needs to be a person to be a weightlifting champion, to bear the historical responsibility for the rise and fall of the world, to restrain private interests and promote public interests, to benefit the world, and to eliminate disasters for the world. For the emperor, obligations are the most important thing, and the emperor's power all comes from the rewards after fulfilling his obligations.
"What are you afraid of?" Lin Fucheng looked at these scholars as if facing a powerful enemy and said in great surprise: "Don't you all read the newspaper? Your Majesty's comment on the world as a master and a guest is: It makes sense, Your Majesty said it makes sense, why are you so cowardly, and I didn’t let you rebel, everyone is sweating profusely.”
Lin Fucheng didn’t even know what these people were afraid of! Afraid of coming here to have a chat?
His Majesty the Emperor believes that this view is correct, and looking at the Emperor's behavior, we find that His Majesty's supreme power is obtained after fulfilling his obligations, including military power, political power, financial affairs, etc. That's not the case.
Your Majesty has proved this with practice. On the contrary, the scholars feel as if they are facing a powerful enemy.
"What about that, Master Lin, should we put away our hats? There are some things that the Emperor can say but we cannot." Li Zhi carefully reminded Lin Fucheng, and His Majesty said, of course, because this is His Majesty's responsibility, but Zi People said that some officials came to make things difficult for them.
“Then what are we going to do as a fifth-level Doctor of Wushu?” Lin Fucheng immediately retorted, that’s all. Others, like Lin Fucheng and Li Zhi, are the fifth-level Doctors of Wushu. Got it through connections with the general's government.
"That's right." Li Zhi thought for a while. It seems that this issue cannot be discussed. Talking about it does not mean putting it into practice.
"Contribute all the benefits of the world to oneself, and attribute all the harm of the world to others. If so, the country will be destroyed, and the king will be a guest." Lin Fucheng summarized the first hat, all the benefits of the world will be It belongs to the emperor. All bad things in the world are done by others. If you dare not take any responsibility, the country will perish and the emperor will be the guest.
There is a difference between subjugating a country and subjugating the world. Subjugating a country means changing dynasties, and subjugating the world is like that of the Southern Song Dynasty, where even the Han Dynasty was wiped out.
Lin Fucheng started from Xingwen and Wu, talking about the responsibilities and powers of the soldiers, just to talk about the responsibilities and powers of the emperor. This is a very, very easy topic to cause problems, and even be directly arrested by the Jin Yiwei, but because His Majesty did Excellent, it makes this topic less acute.
Lin Fucheng took out the second hat and said: "Rebuke directly to correct the emperor's mistakes."
How could the emperor be wrong? ! Isn't it true that directly admonishing a righteous king for his mistakes is a traitor? But the emperor is also a human being, and the emperor will make mistakes. Hai Rui has to wear this hat. He belongs to the moderate faction among the rebels. They mainly believe that the emperor is wrong and let the emperor correct his mistakes. This is the mainstream public opinion of the Ming Dynasty. .
Lin Fucheng looked around and asked with a smile: "Everyone, when you become an official, do you serve His Majesty as an official? No. If you serve as an official for His Majesty, then there is no direct remonstrance to the righteous king. "
The logic is very clear. It is wrong to serve as an official for His Majesty and to point out His Majesty's behavior.
"Master Lin, don't talk nonsense." Ma Jinglun regretted a little. He heard that Lin Fucheng's talk was extremely bold, but he didn't expect that he was so bold. He was deconstructing the imperial system!
"Mr. Wen Dao, where am I talking nonsense? Now that we have talked about why there is a king, let's talk about why there are ministers. The world cannot be ruled by one person, so officials should be set up to rule it. Therefore, officials belong to the king. The avatar, in essence, is a king and a minister. They have different names but the same reality. "
Yuan Zongdao stood up, waved his hands and said: "Stop talking, stop talking, everyone, I have something else to do. I won’t accompany you anymore. What Master Lin said is not what I saw. I have never said it and I don’t agree with it. It just happened today. Whatever happens in the future has nothing to do with me.”
Yuan Zongdao finished speaking. He left, as if he had made some kind of determination, and vowed not to participate in the gathering again. This gathering was really too bold, and Lin Fucheng was really rebellious.
Yuan Zongdao knew that what Lin Fucheng said was right, but Lin Fucheng dared to say it, but he didn't dare to listen! Is this something he can listen to?
For Lin Fucheng, such a big rebel, the emperor actually allowed him to become a doctor of the Five Classics, specializing in social sciences and humanities. It was a bit too indulgent.
What kind of empire was the Ming Dynasty? All things in the world are ministers and concubines, and are private property in the pocket of the emperor. This is for the sake of the emperor's body and surname. When the emperor takes actions, billions of people will look up to them, think of them, and act accordingly. The emperor is the guide for his ministers. This is the Ming Dynasty's imperial system in which the king wants his ministers to die, and the ministers have no choice but to die.
What Lin Fucheng said is true, but it is wrong, and it cannot be said.
Yuan Zongdao is from nine tribes. He is talking nonsense like this. Have you ever asked the relatives of the nine tribes?
Not only Yuan Zongdao, but even some of the scholars listening to the discussion in the audience were a little restless. Is this really allowed to be heard?
"Mr. Yangchun is leaving now?" Lin Fucheng said with a smile: "We will meet again someday."
"I just hope that you will still have another day." Yuan Zongdao had no choice but to bow to all sides again, and quickly leave.
Lin Fucheng was not in a hurry to speak. He was waiting for those timid and fearful people to leave. He knew that he was not a rebel. He also knew that in order for society to develop, the Ming Dynasty's political economy must also move forward. In general, Someone needs to make a protrusion on this agreed-upon boundary.
The scholars left in twos and threes, but in the end some people remained, only about one-third, who were willing to listen to Lin Fucheng's words.
"Everyone, since you have stayed, I will continue." Lin Fucheng sighed and said: "Everyone, what is an official and who is an official for? This is a question that must be discussed clearly. Why ?”
"If an official serves the emperor, and the minister is appointed by the emperor, then the official is the emperor's watchdog. He only needs to be responsible to the emperor, and he only needs to be fully responsible to his superiors, and he will leave the people in dire straits and ignore them."
"If being an official is not to be an official for the king, but to be an official for the world and all the people, then it will not be like this."
"When you go out to serve, you are for the world, all the people, and Kangtai, a man of political integrity, and a straight-forward admonition to correct the emperor's mistakes. "Master Lin, why don't you put your hat away? That's enough." Li Zhi was a man of opinions and was known to be difficult to deal with. He found Lin Fucheng. Even more difficult, he has to step up and apply the brakes.
"I still have several hats here." Lin Fucheng held the hat in his hand and said: "It's a bit bold, but it's nothing. Think big, the more you argue, the clearer you will be. , there is nothing we can’t talk about. If we don’t talk about it, I’m afraid we won’t be able to talk about it anymore.”
Lin Fucheng's words were somewhat open-minded, in other words, broken and broken.
"Well, oh, Master Lin finally came to his senses?" Li Zhi asked with a smile, listening to Lin Fucheng's desolate tone.
Lin Fucheng said angrily: "You have known it for a long time, but you didn't tell me!"
The riddle they played was actually the identity of Mr. Huang. Lin Fucheng returned to Songjiang Prefecture. Suddenly I figured out a question. Mr. Huang is the emperor himself. All the previous doubts about Mr. Huang were immediately solved. Mr. Huang is too omnipotent. He can get the fifth-grade official body as soon as he says it. Tiqi said He just sent people, which was Qi Jiguang's habit.
The reason why Lin Fucheng came to his senses was actually what Mr. Huang did a few days ago. No matter how much Qi Jiguang doted on this junior, he could not directly send three troops into the city to support Mr. Huang. Camping and entering the city, no matter what happened, went against common sense, so these three infantry camps could only be dispatched by the emperor himself.
Thinking back to his rebellious words before, Lin Fucheng felt that his life had really come to an end, and today's gathering was his last dance.
Coming back from the grassland, in front of the emperor, gossiping about the little yellow rumors about the emperor himself on the grassland, isn't this boring?
"Actually, there is no need to be overly nervous. Mr. Huang is still very reasonable. You are not a traitor, nor are you plotting rebellion." Li Zhi said calmly, "Young Master is reasonable."
< br>What Li Zhi said makes sense, and His Majesty is indeed reasonable, but Lin Fucheng still continued to take the hat. The reason is very simple, because the emperor is a human being, and his emotions are as unpredictable as the weather. time, die.
Now that the matter has come to this, I can only express my opinions more radically and clearly, and I will die without so many regrets.
"The third hat is limited freedom. I have to wear this hat." Lin Fucheng sighed and put on the hat. He is the leader of the limited liberal group. The theory of limited freedom advocates that in the current politics, economy, In the military and cultural environment, the greatest freedom is achieved. The court represented by the emperor can not interfere, and the liberal school does not interfere.
This school of thought is also an anti-thief. In the world, it is natural for the emperor, as the king and father, to intervene in advance when things are not getting worse. However, the theory of limited freedom opposes such interference. This school of thought advocates After the conflicts have fully collided, the safe way is for the court to sum up its experience and intervene.
Have a positive attitude toward any emerging thing, rather than beating it to death with a stick.
“I don’t think I’m completely right. For example, I opposed a total ban on smoking before. No matter whether it is tobacco or tobacco, there should be no total ban. The court cannot do it. How can it be so powerful? , but we should look at the impact of these new things. In this matter, I was wrong and the court was right." Lin Fucheng first admitted the limitations of his own school.
The imperial court is much smarter and ahead of the curve than he, who only gives opinions.
"According to the research on various specimens by the Jiefang Institute, opium should not be touched. It will permanently destroy the body's own balance." Lin Fucheng said solemnly to everyone: "Opium's damage to body functions is permanent."
“There is a man in the Jiecu Courtyard named Fan Yingqi. He was supposed to become a feudal official of the Ming Dynasty like Wang Jiaping, but now he is staying in the Jiecu Courtyard and will never be able to get out.”
< br>"Nature and all things are very wonderful. People themselves secrete a substance that can analgesia. The principle of analgesia is the same as that of opium. But if you take too many opium, use it or lose it, the human body will This substance will no longer be secreted for analgesia.”
“For example, after quitting opium, Fan Yingqi always felt that there were countless ants crawling all over his body. He could clearly feel it. In fact, it is the blood flowing. For example, when walking, the knees will tingle, when the joints vibrate, there will be bruises, and when doing strenuous activities, the whole body will feel sore. These pains that we cannot feel in daily life will be felt when we quit. After quitting, it will be clearly felt.”
“So, Fan Yingqi does not have the confidence to come out. He knows that he will be addicted to opium again and will not be able to quit.”
"I hope everyone here will not touch opium out of curiosity. The court's ban is absolutely correct. The reason why humans are the soul of all things is that humans are spiritual, rational, and can control their own behavior. They cannot control their own behavior. Behavior that loses rationality is no longer a human being.”
The Qisheng Zabao of Jieyuan is a very low-selling but very authoritative newspaper, and Lin Fucheng must read every issue. He believes that, The emperor cannot listen to his opinionated opinion, but must listen to the more professional opinions of doctors of the Five Classics.
Lin Fucheng's words caused a quiet discussion on the spot. Maybe it is time to buy these low-selling but authoritative newspapers and periodicals to enrich your knowledge, so as to avoid falling into the beast's path.
"With this fourth hat, everyone can be like Yao and Shun." Lin Fucheng took out the fourth hat, handed it to Li Zhi, and said with a smile: "This is your hat."
< br>Li Zhi's Taizhou School advocates this most. This is not a new topic, because the sentence "Everyone can be like Yao and Shun" comes from "Mencius Gaozi Xia", which is an issue that has been discussed clearly in the pre-Qin period. Yes, everyone can become a saint, but this sentence also opposes the strict hierarchical official order of Confucianism, where the superior and the inferior should each suit their own needs, and the senior and junior should be respected.
"Studying is very expensive. If a person wants to quit his job, he needs to have a certain amount of family capital. Pens, ink, paper and inkstones are very expensive, books are very expensive, and repairs are also very expensive. I think everyone here has used tree branches to write on the land. "The experience of painting." Lin Fucheng said with emotion: "Take me personally as an example. My family can be regarded as a middle-class family, and can barely be regarded as a rural gentry. But when I was a child, I still had to help in the fields and pick up items. Sui."
Lin Fucheng's words resonated. This is the common memory of scholars in the Ming Dynasty, reading, literacy and working.
Being out of work means being out of production, not having to work, and only focusing on reading books from sages. Children from middle-class families cannot be out of work. They also need to help with some work, such as driving cattle, gleaning ears, drying grain, and winnowing grain. Wait, everyone knows clearly how expensive studying is.
Lin Fucheng whispered: "Everyone can be Yao and Shun. If you don't study, you obviously can't be Yao and Shun. If you don't even understand the infinite principles of all things, you may not be able to settle down. Therefore, there is only the roar of the iron horse. , can bring more materials and support more scholars. Maybe one day, everyone in our Ming Dynasty will have books to read.”
This is Lin Fucheng’s best blessing to the Ming Dynasty. He hoped that one day in the Ming Dynasty, everyone could afford to raise their own children, everyone could fill their stomachs, and everyone could have books to read. He expected that one day, his blessing would come true.
"This fifth hat is a Confucian hat." Lin Fucheng's fifth hat is different from other hats. It is a very standard Confucian hat Cheng Zi scarf, which is also Cheng Zi in Zhu Cheng's Neo-Confucianism. Cheng Yi, a great Confucian in the Song Dynasty The hat he wears is a tall and square scarf hat with two square pieces of silk hanging down the back.
(Cheng Zijin)
All scholars in the Ming Dynasty have to wear such a hat, because everyone is a Confucian scholar. This type of people can be further divided into rigid and conservative Confucian scholars. , base Confucians who talk nonsense, Xunli who can do things if they want to, etc., but Lin Fucheng did not distinguish them in detail, so there are too many hats.
The two words Confucian scholars can be summed up. In fact, they are the centrists with the largest number of people.
Lin Fucheng took out the sixth hat and said with a smile: "The sixth hat is the extreme conservatives. They are more conservative than Confucian scholars. For example, the great Sima Zeng Shengwu of the current dynasty, his biggest advocate , that is, restoring the ancestors became the law, Hongwu and Yongle ancestors became the law, and most of the ministers in the Ming Dynasty were such conservatives. For example, in the Di Bao, His Majesty criticized the Ministry of Revenue more than once for not even wanting to bear any debt, Very conservative.”
The biggest conservative of these extreme conservatives is that the whole world is not a royal land. In the world known to the Ming Dynasty, it is either the territory of the Ming Dynasty or a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty. A vassal state is a land that cannot be ruled by a king for the time being. This kind of Conservatives, by their very nature, are often the most radical type of people.
For example, on the issue of Japanese invasion, conservatives generally believe that only by completely eradicating the Japanese can we completely eliminate the Japanese invasion. Therefore, the Nagasaki Governor's Palace came into being and is actively exploring hydrology to completely eliminate the Japanese invasion. future trouble.
For example, regarding the privateering license in England, the ultra-conservatives believed that since the court was beyond its reach and had tried various methods and could not eliminate this cancer and stubborn disease, they gave Felipe enough support to let Felipe Lippe completely and physically eliminates these borers!
"The seventh hat is the actuarial abandonment faction." Lin Fucheng took out the penultimate hat. This kind of wind power is not rare in Nanya.
The wealthy South has provided money and food to feed the remote areas in the border areas. Why should they be allowed to provide this money and food? ! It would be best to give up all these borderlands and uneconomical places!
This kind of wind and public opinion lasted for a long time. Nurgandusi, North Pingdusi, Hetao Plain, Guanxi Liuwei, Southwest Sanxuan Liuwei, and Jiaozhi Thirteenth Division were all under this kind of wind and public opinion. Completed the abandoned land.
"This is the biggest rebel!" Li Zhi said very angrily: "Now we are opening up the sea and trading in Southeast Asia. We should be walking on two legs. Just because we lost the Thirteenth Division of Cochin, it is better now. I can only walk on one leg, and I can only go back to Xingang, Ryukyu, Jilong, Manila, and Old Port, but not to Da Nang."
"Da Nang was built by Emperor Cheng Zuwen! You can’t leave!”
At this time, Li Zhi still had to wear a conservative hat and always followed the rules of his ancestors. Lin Fucheng said from the beginning that he had to wear this hat many times, and he didn’t wear it all the time. Wear it when needed, showing the flexibility of a scholar.
Without the Thirteen Divisions of Cochin, Ming Dynasty’s territorial sea trade would be as frustrating as having a broken leg!
"The last hat, absolutely liberal." When Lin Fucheng took out the last hat, he was holding the North Korean Cheng Ziguan. It was based on the crown belt designed by Cheng Zijin of the Ming Dynasty, but this crown belt was small and ugly, which was quite funny. , the hat itself is mocking the absolute liberals for copying it, and it is a false narrative. The free city in the Free Corner of Taixi is not free, but a paradise for crime.
"Hahaha!"
As soon as the absolute liberal hat was taken out, it caused a roar of laughter, because the unfaithful remarks of the absolute liberals often aroused everyone's verbal criticism, which made Dai Dai The people in the seven hats in front are united as never before.
“These eight hats can probably include all living beings. I hope that everyone here will not be fooled by scholars, especially the absolute liberals. Their nonsense should be treated with caution. Okay, that's all for today's meeting, I have to go." Lin Fucheng glanced at Tiqi who walked in, and sighed, what was supposed to come was here.
"I am Chen Mo, Lin Fucheng, the Fu Si of Beizhen, who has sentenced thousands of households. Please come with us." Chen Mo showed the fire card and wanted to take the person in public.
"What did you do?" Li Zhi said in horror. The depth of today's gathering was actually not very deep. Why was Lin Fucheng arrested?
"It's nothing, I just published a treasonous miscellaneous newspaper while you were away, or call it a demon book, that's right." Lin Fucheng said calmly without any help.
Opinion basket case Lin Fucheng was arrested. This was a major event that surprised everyone. His arrest was because he published a miscellaneous newspaper article that triggered the court's error correction mechanism and demagogued people.
