After Guo Zhiqi returned to Beijing, Zhou Shixiang originally wanted to cross the river to Yangzhou to inspect the situation of the Jiangbei side in sheltering displaced people, but he received a letter from Liao Ruixiang, the governor of Guangdong, asking him to resign as the governor of Guangdong.

Zhou Shixiang was very worried, thinking that Liao Ruixiang was sick and couldn't do anything, so he resigned, so he thought about whether to take Liao Ruixiang to Jiangnan to recuperate, he remembered that the hometown of this old man who was imprisoned for "anti-poetry" was Shaoxing, Zhejiang.

Last year, Song Xianggong had a sudden illness, which really made Zhou Shixiang worry for a while. Now Liao Ruixiang is sick again, which also makes him anxious.

Zhou Shixiang is a person who misses the old, Song Xianggong and Liao Ruixiang are the two literati who have been relied on since he started the army, and now one is the governor of Guangzhou, and the other is the governor of Guangdong. No matter which of the two had an accident, Zhou Shixiang was uneasy.

But after opening Liao Ruixiang's recital, Zhou Shixiang was stunned for a moment, and then he was very surprised. Because Liao Ruixiang resigned as governor of Guangdong, it was not for physical reasons, but because he admitted that he had followed Zhou Shixiang for several years and was tired of being in a large number of government affairs every day, so he did not want to be an official anymore, but wanted to be a scholar.

Liao Ruixiang's theory of learning is to propose that he organize people to reconstruct the "Yuan History".

That's really a university question.

However, Zhou Shixiang was a little confused by the second monk, because the "History of the Yuan" had been edited as early as the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, so why bother to rebuild it? Isn't that full of food? And revising history is not an idle matter, it is really a huge project, Liao Ruixiang does not do it with a good governor, but he wants to devote himself to this big project in his old age, which is really incomprehensible. Compared with the revision of history, the government affairs that the governor has to deal with, I am afraid it is easy, and it cannot be easier.

Zhou Shixiang was extremely confused, but when he carefully watched Liao Ruixiang's recital, his brows furrowed deeply.

For a long time, he put down Liao's note, but what he was thinking about in his mind was still the big problem mentioned in this note, a big problem that was deliberately forgotten or ignored at the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty - Meng Yuan was not China, how could he revise the history for it, and regarded it as an orthodox dynasty in China.

Liao Ruixiang believes that when Emperor Taizu Hongwu raised his army, he used the slogan of "expelling the Tartars and restoring China", and regarded Mengyuan as a Hulu. Then the Ming Dynasty, which was built on the basis of "expelling the Tatars", inherited the orthodox status of the Song Dynasty, while the Meng and Yuan dynasties were foreign regimes and could not be regarded as traditional Chinese dynasties at all.

In order to support his point of view, Liao Ruixiang took the "Red Turban Army Song", which is now the military song of the Taiping Army, as an example, in which he bluntly said that "holding a steel knife of ninety-nine, kill all Hu Erfang and stop", and the Ming Army is the composition and successor of the Red Turban Army, so obviously, the Mongols in the eyes of the Ming Army are Hu'er, a dynasty founded by Hu'er, but they were regarded as orthodox by the Han dynasty that overthrew them, and also repaired history to worship their emperor, isn't this a big joke in the world!

Liao Ruixiang believes that this is definitely not Emperor Taizu's original intention, because Emperor Taizu bluntly said in the letter to Goryeo, "Yuan is not my kind, he has been in China for more than 100 years, and he is tired of his prostitution, and he also used to kill him." Eight out of ten years of turmoil in China, when the heroes first rose, I was the right cloth of Huai, and the rioters suddenly rose.... Chase Hu Jun from the north, purge China, and restore the old frontier of China. ”

He also said in his letter to Japan: "God is good at life, but evil is unkind." To my China since the Zhao and Song dynasties, the north of Yi into the base, sowing nonsense and vulgarity, the Chinese style of the Middle Earth is not finished. Where there are hundreds of years, who is not angry?"?

The book of Ci Zhancheng said: "I have been stolen by the Hu people for a hundred years, so I have spread all over the world and abolished my Yilun in China." ”

The letter of the state of Java said: "Chinese orthodoxy, the Hu people have been stealing for more than 100 years, the outline is often both stubborn, the crown is upside down, and I am fighting for it with an army." ”

During the Hongwu period, the edict on the revitalization of culture and education in the world was even more proclaimed: "Since Hu Yuan entered China, he has been ruined, polluted China, abandoned schools, and ruined human discipline." Since the rebellion, people have been accustomed to struggle, and they rarely know etiquette and righteousness. ”?

When the Ming army launched a large-scale northern expedition, Emperor Taizu said in the "Oracle" that "since ancient times, emperors have ruled the world, all of which have been in China to control Yidi, and Yidi has lived outside to serve China, and it has not been heard that Yidi has lived in China and ruled the world." ”

Liao listed many edicts during the Hongwu period, proving to Zhou Shixiang that Emperor Taizu had always regarded Meng Yuan as a Hu person and a Yidi. But why did the early Ming Dynasty still revise the history of the Yuan Dynasty, recognize the Yuan Dynasty as the orthodox dynasty of China, worship 16 Chinese emperors from Fuxi to Kublai Khan, and sacrifice Mongolian generals including Mu Huali, Bolhu, Borshu, Chilaowen and so on.

This question is also strange to Zhou Shixiang, why did the Ming Dynasty, which overthrew the Tartars and restore China, recognize the object of their overthrow after the founding of the country, and regard the death of the Ming Xingyuan as a normal change of dynasty, rather than a racial rebellion at the beginning.

The result of the two is the same, but the essence is completely different, the change of dynasty compared with the Han nation because of a hundred years of oppression rose up to resist, the nature is the difference between heaven and earth, is to seriously downplay the suffering of the Han people, is to beautify the foreign invaders.

Liao Ruixiang's understanding of this is the fault of the literati and the fault of Confucianism. In his opinion, the group of civil officials who majored in "History of the Yuan" were different from the generals of the Ming army who rose up to resist, and they were close to Meng Yuan. In the course of the Ming Dynasty's crusade against the Yuan army, a large number of Han Chinese only respected the Yuan Dynasty as orthodox and refused to recognize the legitimacy of the Ming Dynasty.

For example, Zhang Chang, the head of the household department of the Yuan Dynasty, accepted the official position of the Ming Dynasty after being placed under house arrest by Emperor Taizu, but this person was in Cao Ying's heart in Han, and had been secretly colluding with the Yuan Dynasty.

Another example is Wang Baobao, a general of the Mengyuan Dynasty who was called a "strange man" by Zhu Yuanzhang, and he also had a Han bureaucrat named Cai Ziying under his account, who was loyal to the Yuan Dynasty. Cai Ziying was captured by the Ming army, but he swore not to surrender to the Ming Dynasty, nor did he kneel to Zhu Yuanzhang, but cried day and night, missing the old master of the Yuan Dynasty.

Even the founding ministers such as Li Shanchang, Liu Ji, and Song Lian also affirmed rather than denied Meng Yuan. The Wenchen group of the entire imperial court has this attitude, and what can Emperor Taizu do. Only by recognizing the legitimacy of the Yuan Dynasty can a large number of officials who had been in the Yuan Dynasty in the early Ming Dynasty clear away the stains of the past, and the Confucianists who were extremely sycophant of the Yuan Dynasty could continue to sell their ideas in the Ming Dynasty and continue to live a good life.

Liao Ruixiang believes that the Meng Yuan was extremely cruel to the Han people, but he was extremely lenient and lenient to the Han scholars, which is why so many Han scholars swore to die for the Yuan Dynasty at the end of the Yuan Dynasty. This point is very similar to the beginning of the Manchu Qing Dynasty's entry into the customs, and it is precisely because the Qing army accepted all the officials of the Ming Dynasty at the beginning of the entry into the customs and recognized the status of the gentry of the Ming Dynasty, which quickly occupied most of China. Even, five years after Shunzhi, the conquest of the Ming army in the south was completely presided over by these surrendered Han gentry.

Therefore, after learning from the pain, Liao Ruixiang deeply realized that why the world quickly fell into the hands of Manchurian aliens after Jiashen was entirely due to the incorrect understanding of Meng Yuan at the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty.

If the early Ming Dynasty had resolutely liquidated Mengyuan, there would never have been today's situation. To recognize the Yuan Dynasty is to admit that foreign races have a legitimate occupation of China, that is, to recognize that those Han bureaucrats who worked for the Meng Yuan are not traitors, and at the same time, to admit that the fall of the Ming Xingyuan Dynasty was a normal change of dynasty. Then, the Han scholars who are influenced by Confucianism can accept another alien invasion again with peace of mind, so as to be psychologically stable and be traitors with confidence.

The country can perish, but the religion cannot perish, which is the foundation and theory of Confucianism for 2,000 years.

Liao Ruixiang said a lot, Zhou Shixiang saw a critique of Confucianism, although Liao did not fully put forward the concept of nationalism, but obviously, he has touched the threshold, but there is still a big gap from the inside, after all, Liao is still a traditional literati of this era, not a later generation who accepted the view of the nation-state like Zhou Shixiang.

But Liao Ruixiang, as a traditional literati of this era, can see this, which is extremely rare. In the Ming generation, no one dared to question the legitimacy of the "Yuan History" and dared to deny the Mengyuan. In this respect, Liao is the first person.

The times shape a person, and also shape people's thoughts. Zhou Shixiang believed that Liao Ruixiang's courage to put forward the theory that the Mongol and Yuan dynasties were not China and demanded the revision of the "Yuan History" was entirely due to the influence of the Chinese rebellion on him since Jiashen.

Why did today's situation occur, why did those gentry flock to clear their heads and shave their hair first? The reason is not that the Ming Dynasty recognized the Yuan Dynasty, so the Qing Dynasty, a foreign race, can also be an orthodox dynasty.

However, Liao's view has great epochal limitations, such as the fact that the revision of the Yuan history in the early Ming Dynasty and the recognition of the Yuan dynasty as the legitimate dynasty of China are entirely attributed to the civil officials who were close to the Meng Yuan or enjoyed the benefits of the Meng Yuan's rule, rather than the Taizu Emperor.

If Zhu Yuanzhang did not agree, with the founding monarch and his resolute methods, Zhou Shixiang did not think that Song Lian and other officials majoring in "History of the Yuan" would dare to admit the Yuan Dynasty, and this matter, in the final analysis, would be the embodiment of conspiracy, or a manifestation of Confucianism.

This kind of Confucianism is typical of the ostrich thought, and when there is no way to resist, he buries his head and pretends that he has not heard or seen anything. As long as this outsider acknowledges Confucianism and continues to respect Confucius, then thousands of Confucian scholars will regard it as their own.

When the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, this idea was once again useful.

Perhaps, Zhu Yuanzhang himself did not realize what kind of poison would be left behind by the official Xiuyuan history and the sacrifice of Kublai Khan and other Mongols, he may simply want to use this means to win over the northern gentry, or he may really think that he obeys the mandate of heaven, or he may really be confused by the thousands of scholars. This is the defect of the times, in the era of "prosperity" of Confucianism, even the founding monarch could not break free from the influence of Confucianism, but had to win over and reuse Confucianism.

Zhu Yuanzhang, no matter how majestic he is, is also a feudal ruler.

His edicts to various countries and to his subjects all said that Meng Yuan was a Hu person, a foreign race, and it was likely that he acted by nature, and he said it directly according to his heart. But the official recognized Meng Yuan and revised the "History of the Yuan", in Zhou Shixiang's view, it was more that the grassroots emperor did not take the revision of history as a thing. "History of the Yuan" was completed in 331 days, and I am afraid it is also a portrayal of the true thoughts of the founding emperor. However, he should not be a thing, Confucianism should be a thing, and those gentry and landlords who force whom to serve are the same thing.

Reconstructing the history of the Yuan Dynasty is the best way for Liao Ruixiang to understand that he can clear his mind, he simply linked the situation of today's China with the "History of the Yuan", and his point of view Zhou Shixiang summed it up, that is, the Mengyuan and Yuan are not China, or the Yuan and Qing are not China.

There is no doubt that Mengyuan is certainly not China. The Yuan Dynasty was founded by the Mongols, a barbarian people, and from the very beginning, the Yuan Dynasty did not regard the Han people as their subjects, but regarded the Han people as the people who died in the country. They slaughtered, plundered, and did all kinds of evil, completely seeing themselves as conquerors of the Han Chinese. This kind of regime, that is, those Confucian scholars can brazenly call it China, and replace it with those oppressed ordinary people, it is simply a force.

The Manchu Qing and the Mengyuan were not similar, but identical, both oppressed and enslaved the Han people and won over the Han scholars. And the scholars are the natural elite of the Han nationality, they have all the resources in their hands, they have the right to speak, and these people go to revise history, and the consequence is naturally to praise the foreign race to the extreme, otherwise, how can they live in peace.

However, for the people, it is bitter. A small number of people have the privilege of slaughtering most of the people and enslaving the majority of the people, but their own scholars call it a unified dynasty, and the people think and do what they do.

At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, thousands of Han people gathered on the edge of the Yellow River, sounding the strongest sound of a hundred years of Chinese sinking. Now, thousands of Han Chinese gathered under the command of Zhou Shixiang, and the same voice of revenge was raised.

Neither the former nor the latter are scholars, but a people whom they regard as ants.

Even if Zhou Shixiang was the emperor, he would never be the emperor of the feudal era, so unlike Zhu Yuanzhang, he decided to rebuild the "History of the Yuan" and completely denied Meng Yuan. Not only to rebuild the "History of the Yuan", but also to move Kublai Khan out of the imperial temple, and the Muhualina Mongols from the temple where the famous ministers of the past dynasties were worshipped. In addition, he decided to publicize the non-Chinese theory of the Mongol and Yuan dynasties and the non-Chinese theory of the Manchu Qing Dynasty with great fanfare, so as to deny Confucianism and Manchuria.

Only by letting the people of the world know that the Mongol Yuan and the Manchu Qing were not China, then the next question will be simple and clear. The Han gentry who continued to serve the Manchus either returned to the bosom of China or died in the name of traitors.

As for the so-called negation of the Yuan and Qing dynasties in the previous life, it was tantamount to separating Mongolia, Northeast China, Xinjiang, Tibet and other places, which was completely a joke in Zhou Shixiang's view. Historically, these places have never belonged to any ethnic group, let alone the private property of any regime. While the Yuan and Qing dynasties ruled these places, the Han, Tang, and Ming dynasties in China also ruled over these places. Why do you think that the Yuan and Qing dynasties were not Chinese means that they are not Chinese?

Whether it is the Mengyuan Dynasty or the Manchu Qing Dynasty, it is the history of the Han people's demise. History has happened, and the facts cannot be changed, so we should be brave enough to admit it, not dare to face it, not be ashamed of it, but be proud of it.

It is not terrible to fail, it is not terrible to be conquered, it is terrible that our civilization is interrupted and our heritage is interrupted. It is terrible to face the butcher's knife of the conqueror, and our readers are there to praise it with a loud voice.

What is lost, we must regain it ourselves.

Zhou Shixiang couldn't bear the emotions in his heart for a while, and replied to Liao Ruixiang with a pen, asking him to enter Beijing on the same day and preside over the rerevision of "Yuan History". Subsequently, in the name of the governor of Dadu, he ordered Yangzhou, Jiangyin, Fuzhou, Guangzhou, Ganzhou, Nanchang, Taicang and other places that had been massacred by the Qing army to investigate the names of the victims who died in the massacre of the Qing army, unify them into a book, and erect a monument to commemorate it.

In the southern capital, the pro-army also received an order to "organize" officials from the six large and small Jiuqing yamen to go to various places to visit the atrocities of the Qing army. Books and pamphlets that recorded the atrocities of the Qing army such as "Ten Diaries of Yangzhou" were also collected from the people in large quantities and published by the government, becoming a must-read book for students at all levels.

.......

Only by letting the people of the world know that the Mongol Yuan and the Manchu Qing were not China, then the next question will be simple and clear. The Han gentry who continued to serve the Manchus either returned to the bosom of China or died in the name of traitors.
