Chapter 835: Journey to Jiangnan (11)

I have to say that some of these scholars did show lofty national integrity when the national crisis was at hand. Those who would rather die than surrender and sacrifice their lives for the country, such as Shi Kefa and others, can indeed be called national heroes.

However, the vast majority of these scholars are boneless guys. Everything they do is for their own benefit, and if there is a benefit, it will be up. As for hurting the country and others, they don't care at all.

These scholars in Jiangnan have always been extremely arrogant. If you are not satisfied, you will interfere with the administration of the government. They dared to smash the yamen in groups and openly expel the court officials. However, the government is very generous to these people, and there is almost no punishment. This also fuels the arrogance of these people.

Jiangnan has a developed economy, and many scholars have business interests and rich family resources. They have formed associations, and their classmates and friends are all over the world. Seek benefits for the people of his hometown, and have a high prestige in the local area. The government did not dare to offend them.

In the history of modern time and space, after the Manchu Qing Dynasty went south and crossed the river. The bloody soldiers rose up to fight and sacrificed their lives for the country, and almost all of them died. The rest of the soft bones all went to the Manchu Qing and became second-class citizens. Just like the Indian aristocracy when England ruled India.

In the early Manchu Qing Dynasty, these scholars who had lost their brains by reading had not yet reacted. It's still the same as in the Ming Dynasty, continuing to do what I did before.

Where would the Manchu barbarians be polite to the slaves of these colonies? It was directly suppressed by the soldiers, and the blood on the streets was all over the street.

Frightened by blood, these scholars no longer dared to delay taxes, nor did they dare to form associations to storm the government. All honestly the same as quails.

After losing the benefits that were at their fingertips in the Ming Dynasty, these scholars vented their dissatisfaction in their hearts. I only dare to write some poems that hide my head and tail to express the resentment in my heart. And then there's the case of the head-killing poems. The Manchu rulers would not give them any face! It's just a group of natives of the colony, and if you kill it, you will kill it.

The Fang family in 'Lu Ding Ji' is like this. There is no reason for the actor from Ji Yuan to kill the court official who handled the case at that time, just to avenge his personal revenge.

When Wei Guogong came back sweating profusely, he told Gao Yangyi about the outside matter. Immediately, I secretly screamed in my heart. Because when he saw Gao Yang's face, his face suddenly changed!

"Really." At first, his face was cold, and Gao Yang, who frightened Wei Guogong, suddenly burst out laughing. Stretched out his hand and stroked his chest, the smile on his face was still not gone. But his eyes have always been like ten thousand years of ice!

Raise your hand. Hold your chin. With a faint smile on his face, he said softly, "The forest is big, and there are all kinds of birds." Who is this treating me for? ”

Gao Yang felt as if there was some deviation in his work. Originally, he wanted to use strong means to remove all the parasites lying on the body of the Ming Empire and sucking blood. But I've been here for a little longer. On the contrary, I feel a little assimilated. I already have concerns in my mind.

It's good now. These scholars who don't know the height of the sky and the height of the earth completely provoked Gao Yang with their arrogance!

"Country, national teacher ......" felt the chill emanating from Gao Yang's body at close range, and the new Duke of Wei stammered and didn't know what to say at this time.

He is one of the top few big people in the Ming Empire. Naturally, he knows a lot more than those small people who are ascending to the bucket. What kind of strong person Gao Yang is, and what a powerful ability he has, he knows it clearly in his heart!

"These pillars of the country spend their days on the belly of the white silver woman. I am not at ease with this empire in the hands of these people. I can't let my hard work be ruined at the hands of these bastards. Gao Yang's face gradually turned cold, and he said in a low voice.

Shook his head. Stand up. He whispered to himself, "What am I here for, have you forgotten?" Why care about these trivial matters? It's a lot of thinking. ”

The front hall was extremely quiet, and Wei Guogong's body trembled slightly when he heard Gao Yang's words. He lowered his head, looked at the ground with his eyes, and looked like he was looking at his nose and his nose at his heart. At this moment, he felt as if he was standing naked in the ice and snow!

"The order ahead is canceled." Gao Yang turned his head to look at the chief of the guard not far away, and said with a flat expression, "Call the army back and block the city." The students outside the mansion were all arrested, and in the name of slandering the court officials. Affair with the Assassins. Caught Jin Yiwei and interrogated severely. Find out who is behind the scenes, and keep them all under control. ”

"Command!" Under the dumbfounded gaze of the new Duke of Wei, the sturdy chief of the guard saluted and strode out.

"Country. National Teacher?! Wei Guogong didn't know what to say. Gao Yang's order scared him. "The dynasty treats scholars preferentially." That's all he can say.

Gao Yang waved his hand, glanced at him with cold eyes, and said indifferently: "The dynasty wants preferential treatment, but it is the scholars who want to serve the country and the people in their hearts. It's not these shameless people who are dressed in a sanctimonious skin, but do dirty things in private. If you want to be with them, just say it. ”

Gao Yang's words are completely unquestionable. He didn't have the patience to wait any longer.

"......" The new Duke of Wei suddenly lost his voice.

......

The sky was overcast, and the clouds were very low, and a downpour was coming. The cold wind before the rain swept up the fallen leaves on the streets, adding a bit of gloom to the empty streets.

The Qinhuai River is still sparkling, and leisurely fish roam in the water. It's just that the hustle and bustle of the past is gone.

Rain and wind blowing. Fallen leaves near the weeping willows on both sides of the river are rolled up and then swirled and floated down on the clear water. With the sparkling ups and downs, floating into the distance.

In the past, the wide streets and narrow alleys and the long bluestone streets where people came and went were not even seen at this moment. The bustling shops and restaurants on both sides of the road are closed doors.

The doors and windows of the Qinlou Chu Pavilion, which were lined with silk and bamboo on weekdays, were also closed at the moment, and even the lanterns hanging outside had been taken down. The entire Jiangning Mansion is like a ghost town with no people, which makes people's hearts tremble.

Not much. A shuffled footstep sounded in the bluestone-paved streets. Occasionally, there were whispered sobs from women and children.

Finally it began to rain in the sky. The rain was not heavy, but it was unusually lingering.

Wang Wu, who was dressed in military uniform, casually patted the water stains on his military uniform. This military uniform is new, but I didn't expect it to rain, which is really unlucky.

He was followed by more than twenty sailors on the Blue Dragon who were heavily armed. The soldiers escorted a long queue of men, women, and children toward the docks.

Most of the people in the team carried packages on their backs. Two wagons loaded with various artifacts followed the procession. The eyes of these people were full of horror and despair.

Since Gao Yang is determined to use thunderous means to resettle these people who do everything except for things for the country and the people. Naturally, the action is as fast as the wind.

The students who had caused trouble outside the Wei Mansion a few days ago and despised Gao Yang had all been arrested.

Sent to prison for interrogation. After briefly asking the people who provided them with support to make trouble, these students were all sent by Gao Yang in the name of the imperial court to Qiongzhou to support local education. You can't leave Qiongzhou without an edict!

Gao Yang carried the Son of Heaven Sword with him. Emperor Chongzhen had great trust in him. directly gave him the right to arbitrarily make decisions on the spot. At that time, any decision made by Gao Yang can represent Emperor Chongzhen!

These students were forcibly ordered to go south to Qiongzhou to work as teaching craftsmen. Under the escort of the soldiers, he went home crying and took care of everything. Soon it was sent to the warships of the Navy.

Qiongzhou in this era is not an international tourist island. Sunny sand and all that is a dream. It's the real end of the earth!

Leaving their homeland to go thousands of miles away to the backwoods. Leave the extremely prosperous Jiangnan and go to the terrifying place where I heard that miasma is rampant and full of savages. It directly stunned those students.

Once these scholars who were above the top in the past really met the power. Only then will they understand their so-called backbone, the backbone of a scholar. Nothing in front of a bayonet shining with a cold light!

Wang Wu sighed lightly and raised his hand to straighten his military hat. looked at the women and children who were crying, with a simple smile on their faces. He stepped forward and said, "Everyone, hurry up. It was getting dark and it was about to rain heavily. Earlier on the warship, lest you get sick in the rain. ”

As soon as Wang Wu's words were finished, the speed of the team's march did speed up slightly. It's just that the crying in the ranks is gradually increasing.

This is going to the ends of the earth to leave your homeland!

In this life, I don't know if there will be a chance to return to this extremely prosperous hometown. How can the hearts of these people not be angry?!

It's just that these spineless scholars looked at the cold-faced sergeants beside them with sharp bayonets in their hands. But no one dared to vent the anger in his heart. After all, for them, life is more important.

The students who were sent to Qiongzhou were not only those outside the Wei Guogong Mansion. During the interrogation, Gao Yang asked people to ask the arrested students, what other accomplices did they have?

Maybe it's to be able to atone for the crime, or maybe it's because I'm not willing to just be unlucky. The students, whose pants were wet after being caught in prison, began to bite like crazy.

The students of the entire Jiangning Mansion Guozijian were almost wiped out!

Gao Yang took detailed literature from modern time and space and handed it to the origin for analysis. In the history of modern time and space, the whole family that took refuge in the Manchu Qing Dynasty as two devils was sent to the warship to Qiongzhou.

And those who maintained their integrity, or at least were unwilling to sit for the Manchu Qing officials, were all comforted and let go with kind words. These people who feel inexplicable will naturally be reused in the future!

Both talent and morality. It should be the first to!

People who have no backbone will naturally be looked down upon. And those who are truly loyal to the country will also be greatly respected! (Your support is to be renewed.) )
