Chapter 408: The Confucian Kingdom on Earth
"I am going to finish the Ming Dynasty!"
Marshal Yang looked at the full of energy in his hand with some emotion.
The Datong Kingdom of Shaanxi was established...
Even though his mind was already very divergent, it did not diverge to the point where a great scholar led a group of Confucian scholars would rebel and establish a Confucian country on earth. The Confucian scholar who had been calling for two thousand years would actually establish a country without a monarch. This made him feel that the sky was thunder rolling, and such a spiritual Confucian scholar was simply exaggerated.
Of course, their explanation is perfect.
The destiny of the Great Ming Dynasty has ended, but the new Lord of Destiny has not yet appeared. They decided to take the people of Sanqin to wait for the Lord of Destiny in this way.
Therefore, they did not violate the Confucian idea of monarch, minister, and minister.
They are just waiting for the new king.
The arrogant soldiers and powerful Shanxi conquered Taiyuan and then carried out a small-scale massacre in Taiyuan.
Ma Kongying and others killed the King of Jin.
After all, they are for money, and the city of Taiyuan is obviously the richest of the King of Jin. Even though it is no longer the same as before, the camel is bigger than a horse. So Ma Kongying and others who entered Taiyuan quickly slaughtered the King of Jin's mansion, then occupied the King of Jin's mansion, and then robbed the city...
Even Yang Yikui was killed.
Most of the elders from the Shanxi Council were cut down by them.
The rest were all feeling the good days that were the same as those of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms.
And not only Taiyuan City, they also quickly incorporated new troops and militias in Taiyuan City, and then formed a robbery gang to fight against local tyrants around Taiyuan. Because militias in various places were tempted, the bases of Taigu, Qixian, Pingyao and other Shanxi merchants around Taiyuan were captured, and then the major Shanxi merchants were killed by their old friends.
What an old friend.
Shanxi merchants used to engage in smuggling in the past because they colluded with generals such as Ma Kongying and the Xuan Da.
It can be said that everyone knows each other well.
Ma Kongying and others didn't even have to look for it. Anyone with the money from Shanxi merchants was on their list. The old partners who had worked with for decades directly killed them in exchange for participants, and let the militia open the city gates themselves. Then they went in and took out the old partners and bleed one by one.
The Jinzhong Plain is covered in blood and storm.
The Pingyang Gentleman who originally supported Ma Kongying sent troops to Lingshi as quickly as possible and blocked Lengquan Pass north. The Senate of the Five Provincial Alliance of Lu'an Prefecture was so scared that he quickly blocked North and South Pass and Maling Pass. At the same time, he asked for help from the Zhili Council in the North. The latter also quickly sent Sun Chengzong to lead his troops westward to seize Shouyang. However, Ma Kongying actually had no intention of expanding outward. After all, the harvest of the Shanxi merchants and Jin Wang family around Taiyuan was already very satisfied with their 20,000-person group.
What they need to do next is to use Taiyuan and Jinzhong Plain as the foundation, and then end the life of stray dogs before.
To do something else, you have to digest this territory first.
At this point, Taiyuan Prefecture, to be precise, was half of Taiyuan Prefecture, and fell into the hands of Ma Kongying Group. Although he responded to the call of Datong State, it was impossible for him to be accepted by Datong State after he had bloody conquered the Council.
Datong Kingdom avoided them in a hurry. They were all retro sage disciples, so how could they be with the arrogant soldiers and generals?
So Ma Kongying simply called himself the Emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty.
It's considered to be addicted to the emperor.
All the remaining Ma brothers were granted the title of king, Dayun's son Daqice was granted the title of king, and then he would lead his troops to play by himself!
There is another emperor in my Ming Dynasty.
Finally, a good era of emperors was beginning.
However, Fang Congzhe's iron-blooded methods saved Henan from civil strife, but he was also notorious for this. The original first person to fight against Yang, a famous loyal and righteous man in the country, suddenly became a crazy executioner and a butcher who slaughtered the scholars. While scolding him, Henan gentry was glad that he had a decisive governor like him to help them make the right choice.
After all, someone must be the executioner.
In addition, other things such as Zhending, Chengtian, and Changsha also caused trouble to varying degrees.
But the scale is limited, and it is only the degree of trouble, and it is quickly suppressed by local officials. The Huguang and Jiangxi systems in the core of the Hongguang Dynasty were different from those in the north. They maintained the old system from beginning to end, including local officials, and they were appointed by the court. However, they were all from Jiangxi, Huguang and even the government officials, so they were all officials, but they were essentially under an effective government management. As long as Zou Yuanbiao, Geng Dingli and others who controlled the court made a decision, then these scholars would not be able to make trouble and local officials would solve them.
The leader of these people is Shu Yuejing, the chief of Bailu Cave Academy, and the core is the student of Bailu Cave Academy, but Jiujiang is originally the frontier of the war zone.
The local gentry were very sober.
They won't let these students mess around.
Especially after the news of Fang Congzhe's suppression was spread, officials from all over the country also began to become tougher.
After all, this kind of scholar's rebellion is the best solution. Basically, after killing a few people, everyone else is honest.
The officials were also scholars.
All understand.
Therefore, the Donglin Group's uprising was only successful in the northwest, and it came from Jiangnan to the northwest. Instead, Jiangnan all knelt in front of Yang Feng. I wonder what Gao Panlong and others thought about knowing under the spring.
But they still lifted the last fig leaf of the Ming Dynasty.
The Zhu family's world began to be no longer recognized by the gentry.
The empire began to truly collapse.
Before, no matter which side or whom the emperor was supported, they always maintained the Zhu family's world. The Ming Empire's identity remained unchanged, especially the gentry, who had never tried to change this, but the emergence of the Datong Kingdom completely broke this identity. The gentry began to no longer recognize the Zhu family's world, nor did they identify with the Ming Empire. They, who had truly mastered their own military power for the first time, began to consider establishing their own country like those gentry in the Netherlands.
This is something that has never happened before.
In the past, Confucian gentry could only rely on imperial power and a certain force group, which was definitely not a Confucian disciple.
Therefore, Confucianism has been very embarrassing for thousands of years.
They are always trying to seize power, but they always have to rely on non-Confucian forces.
The reason is that they do not have force. Even when Confucian scholars had the strongest martial ethics, they still had no real force. In the era of cold weapons, war ultimately depended on pure martial artist groups. However, as war evolved into the era of hot weapons, the boundaries between warriors and Confucian scholars began to blur. In the past, a Li Cunxiao could wash away Donglin Academy with a big stick. Now a Confucian scholar could kill him by taking out a short gun. The firearms smashed the European knight class, and the firearms also blurred the boundaries between Eastern civil and military.
Xiong Tingbi is a Confucian scholar, but he is the strongest military commander outside the Red Turban Army.
Mu Changzuo was powerful in the southwest, but was finally shot to death by Yuan Dudu.
The Confucian scholars were surprised to find that they could not rely on the military group at all. As long as they had land, factories, and population, they could be the overlord.
Then why not try it?
They did call for a thousand years of loyalty to the king, but in fact they were never loyal to any king, they were just relying on the king to fight for power.
But now they can even kick Jun away!
This is the Datong Kingdom, where Confucian scholars are really trying to establish their earthly Confucian country, rather than relying on others as they did in the past.
"It's not your fault."
The Regent Princess said in a very weak tone.
"Why did I make trouble? I am a loyal minister, I am loyal to Your Majesty, I am loyal to the Ming Dynasty, they are all these traitors, they are destroying Your Majesty's land."
Yang Feng said.
The Regent Princess quickly lowered her eyebrows and admitted her mistake...
If you don’t admit your mistakes, you will be punished. The family tradition of the prime minister is very strict, and the education of women’s morality is also very successful.
"But it is really not good to continue like this, especially it is easy for some people to take advantage of it. Just look at Ma Kongying. If Confucian scholars want to establish a Confucian country on earth, then there may not be anyone who follows the example and establishes another country on earth. They should suppress it quickly. In my name, I sent a letter to the Chengtian court and the Lu'an Senate, and the Guangzhou Anti-Party Group to ask them to solve this guy quickly, especially the Ma Kongying bandits. If they cannot solve it before the spring, I will let the Beijing camp solve it.
But after the solution is completed, I can’t guarantee what Jingying will do.”
Yang Feng said.
These guys need a little motivation...
They have the ability to solve the problem. The new troops under the control of the alliance of the five northern provinces exceeded 200,000, but most of them were on the defense line of the north and south. In addition, Fang Chengzhe also had 50,000 Huguang troops, all of which had been completed or were being completed in the new equipment.
The 50,000 Huguang troops were the next level with Xiong Tingbi's troops.
Chengtian can also provide support to them. As long as the Red Turban Army is sure that it will not attack, it is still possible to draw tens of thousands of people from Xiong Tingbi to go north. The Guangzhou court also has Liu Jing's army in Hanzhong, and there are also the southwestern chieftains who are loyal to Wanli. They are all able to send troops to the north. What's really necessary is the Ma Kongying group, and the gentry will not be interested in solving the Datong country.
The core of Ma Kongying is just 20,000 soldiers of a certain type.
If he really did his best, Sun Chengzong would be able to deal with them with the new army of Northern Zhili.
"Why let them, just let the Beijing Camp kill Yanmen Pass?"
Fang Mengshi said.
"Uh, then I'm going to leave for a while. For the sake of the Ming Dynasty and the Emperor, I'm going to go to war again."
Yang Feng said.
"no!"
The Regent said without hesitation.
Then she pulled Yang Feng and glared at Fang Mengshi with dissatisfaction.
"Hmph, Your Highness Regent, you are not married yet, please be more reserved to my husband."
Fang Mengshi said speechlessly.
"Come on, Your Highness, she is just a concubine. Don't worry about her. I'll teach you a new game!"
Yang Feng said with his arms around His Highness Regent.
Then they ignored Fang Mengshi and walked straight to the inner room. The latter snorted dissatisfiedly, but he still followed him quickly.
(Four confirmed cases in neighboring counties, and a family of four were all confirmed. As a result, the market was stopped today, and the checkpoint started again. I was still planning to buy fish shopping. It was a good time to eat fish shopping!)
Chapter completed!
