Haisheng Mingdi

Chapter 624

Jinan is chic like the south of the Yangtze River, and Quancheng has been a city of poetry since ancient times.

Jinan is not only a place of great shape, but also has a strong cultural tradition and a long history. However, since Chongzhen, it has also been a place of suffering.

In every place, there are always some distinguished families with profound background, which can also be called great family names.In the Ming Dynasty, there were also many famous families in Jinan, which were characterized by their officials, subjects, and studies.

Officials, jurisprudence, and learning are often still a trinity.

Shandong is not only the hometown of martial arts, but also the hometown of culture. However, after the Qing army entered the customs, Shandong was the most subject to the rule of the new dynasty. It may also be the same as Shandong was swept away twice during the Chongzhen period, and a large number of Shandong gentry were taken into captivity. Going outside the pass, he took refuge in the Tartars early on.

The Han ministers and ministers of the official department of the Tartars who first entered the customs were all from Shandong, and they recommended each other, so that when they first entered the customs, the Han officials in Zhongshan were the most, and the Qilu celebrities had a great influence in Kyoto.

Sun Zhixie, Wang Yongao, Xie Sheng and a large number of famous second ministers.

In the first imperial examination in the third year of Shunzhi, Shandong people did not win the first prize, and even accounted for a quarter of the Jinshi share.

Black Dragon Pond.

According to legend, this is the ancestral house of Qin Qiong's family in the Tang Dynasty. Suddenly, one day it collapsed, and an underground spring gushed out, forming a large spring named Heilongquan, which has become a scene in Jinan ever since.

The emperor also came to Heilongtan specially, and ordered to build Qin Qiong Temple here to worship Qin Shubao, the loyal and unparalleled door god.

"I ruled 26 counties in four prefectures in the Jinan prefecture. It is a famous big prefecture, and among the six prefectures in Shandong, it occupies the chief position." Governor Huang Zongxi told the emperor.

Looking at the map, Zhu Yihai found that Jinan Mansion was indeed too big, just like the original Qingzhou Mansion, covering an extremely large area.

"With Mount Tai as the boundary, Tai'an Prefecture was upgraded to a prefecture, Laiwu, Xintai, Feicheng, and Tai'an counties were included in Tai'an prefecture, and Dong'e and Yinping in Yanzhou prefecture were assigned to Tai'an, and Dongping prefecture was changed to counties, and Tai'an prefecture was also assigned. , a total of seven counties."

"Then upgrade Wuding prefecture on the northeast side of the Daqing River in Jinan to Wuding prefecture, ten counties including Leling, Yangxin, Haifeng, Huimin, Shanghe, Lijin, Zhanhua, Binzhou, Qingcheng, and Putai belong to Wuding prefecture .”

Zhu Yihai drew two circles with his imperial brush, established two new prefectures, and drew seventeen counties from the two prefectures of Jinan and Yanzhou.

The area of ​​Jinan has shrunk by nearly half, but it still straddles both banks of the Yellow River. On the south bank of the Yellow River are Licheng, Zhangqiu, Changqing, Qidong, Zouping, Xincheng, Zichuan, and Changshan counties. On the north bank of the Yellow River are Qihe, Yucheng, Jiyang, Pingyuan, Linyi, Deping, and Dezhou seven counties still have fifteen counties under their jurisdiction.

Located in the Yang of Mount Tai, the Yang of Guji Water, the south of the Yellow River, and the shore of the Grand Canal, this spring city is very important in terms of geographical location.

During the reign of Chongzhen, the city was massacred by the Tartars, which seriously damaged the vitality of this famous city. After the Tartars entered the pass, they tossed and tossed in Jinan for several years, which hurt it.

Fortunately, the Ming army did not go through any tragic siege battles this time when they regained the city. It was taken in less than a month, and the city was not even damaged.

Most of the people in Jinan escaped unharmed.

However, for many famous families in Jinan, they are in an embarrassing situation at this time.

Because the Tartars entered Shandong a long time ago, and twice abducted tens of thousands of people from Shandong to the outside of the pass, many famous and powerful families joined the Tartars early.

After the Tartars entered the customs, their performance was even more positive.

In the Tartar Dynasty, Shandong people had a prominent position, and the Jinan government even occupied many seats on the list of second ministers.

If there is a change of dynasty, Shandong, especially Jinan, will undoubtedly occupy an important seat in the new dynasty, but it happened that it was only four years after Shunzhi, and at the end of the third year of Shaotian in the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Shaotian restored Jinan.

This embarrasses them.

Many famous families are still working as officials in Beijing, or they are working for the Tartars in various places. Even the first imperial examination in the third year of Shunzhi, and the Enke in the fourth year, Shandong accounted for a quarter of the Jinshi, and out of a hundred How many new subjects Jinshi?

Now that Daming is back, it’s not embarrassing if you say it’s embarrassing.

The most famous family in Jinan City is the Zhu family in Licheng, in addition to the Wang family in Xincheng who had previously belonged to Zichuan, and the Tian family in Dezhou and the Lu family in Dezhou, which used to be known as the four major families in Jinan Prefecture. Obviously, there have been several great scholars and ministers, and there have been many Jinshi families.

After the four major families, there are also famous families in Shandong such as the Song family in Laiyang, the Zhao family in Yidu, the Kong family in Qufu, and the Yan family in Qufu.

"Shandong is a good place, the hometown of etiquette." Zhu Yihai said to the ministers.

Everyone naturally nodded in agreement with this statement, not only because Shandong has a sage of Confucius, but also the emperor's home is also Shandong.Although the emperor's ancestral home was Fengyang, the faction of King Lu had been in Yanzhou for almost 300 years.

Prince Lu's mansion has even married the holy descendants of the Kong family and the Yan family in Qufu for generations.

Smoke also smoked out culture.

Song Zhifu, the chief assistant, is also from Shandong. He is from Yizhou. He said proudly, "Only in the Chongzhen Dynasty, there were more than 160 Jinshi in Shandong, second only to Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Nanzhi and Fujian in the whole country. It ranks fifth in the country, but it ranks first in the north of the Yangtze River. There are only [-] four Jinshi in Licheng County."

Zhu Yihai smiled and said, "You haven't even counted the Tatars, you won nearly a hundred of them in one list, and the champions are all from Shandong. Enke also recruited dozens of Shandong people, the Tazis' Jinshi, three points One of them is from Shandong."

This remark made the Shandong ministers present feel deeply ashamed. This is not something to be proud of.

It is clear that Emperor Shaotian launched an army in the south of the Yangtze River and made a big show of momentum. There is hope for ZTE, but the Shandong people are actively allying to the Tartars. Not to mention those like Sun Zhixie who voluntarily ask for their hair to be shaved, and half of Shandong is still in the court. What is this worth? Something to be proud of?
Compared with the Shaotian Dynasty's full dynasty and half of eastern Zhejiang, it is really far behind.

People in Zhejiang, especially the gentry and people in eastern Zhejiang, faced with the tartars going south, they revolted one after another, whether they were scholars or juren, military generals, beggars, woodcutters, many people committed suicide and died for the country, and many raised troops to fight against the Qing Dynasty. , There are more soldiers in eastern Zhejiang in the imperial camp.

However, Shandong is the hometown of Emperor Shaotian, but half of Shandong is full of Tartars. Does it sound good?

"There are eighteen famous academies in Jinan Prefecture. Among them, there are Zhidao Academy, Luoyuan Academy, Jingxian Academy, and Baixue Academy in Licheng. However, I open courses in Jiangnan to obtain scholars, and Shandong has the least number of scholars. Yes, I also deliberately set up two rankings in the north and the south, and increased the number of places in the first subject, and selected thousands of Jinshi. As a result, the number of applicants in Shandong is very small, and there are not many Jinshi candidates, and none of them came from the [-]th National Congress of Jinan Prefecture. From the academy."

The emperor's words were already very dissatisfied.

Today, in addition to the accompanying ministers, the emperor also specially summoned representatives of some prominent families in Jinan.

In addition to the Zhu family, the Sun family also came to Licheng. The Sun family originally moved to Licheng from Pingyin County, Yanzhou, Zhu Yihai's hometown.

Sun Zhu, Jinshi in the second year of Tianqi, Siguan to Zhili for counseling, Miyun military preparation.Sun Zhixiao, Jinshi in the second year of the same Tianqi, successively served as magistrate of Lulong County, doctor of the household department, and military counselor of Miyun.Sun Jianzong was a Jinshi in the 16th year of Chongzhen.

Today, representing Sun Dazhuang's Sun family is Sun Sixiao, the uncle of Sun Jianzong, who also has a reputation. Sun Dazhuang's family has three Jinshi who are officials in Beijing, and even the officials are not young.

Fortunately, Sun Guangsi is here to make him feel more at ease. Sun Guangsi is the Pingdu Sun family, the Juren in the 15 years of Chongzhen. The family is a family, taking in Sun Guangsi's family.

Although the two families were not originally a family, Sun Sixiao still maintained the relationship and helped them make a living by themselves.After that, Sun Guangsi went south to Jiangsu and Zhejiang, where he joined the volunteer army of the Lu Supervisor Army.

He sat with 'uncle' Sun Sixiao.

Next to him are the Jiao family, Li family in Zhangqiu, Zhang family in Xincheng, Yi family in Xincheng, Geng family in Xincheng, Gao family, Zhang family and Bi family in Zichuan. Menzhang, Deping Ge, Pingyuan Zhao, Pingyuan Dong, Lingyuan Kang and so on.

The famous families who came to Jinan in these places have hundreds of families, at least they are famous in a county.

They have a common feature. There are many Jinshi and Juren in the family imperial examinations, and there are many officials in the family, and at least some of them are above the third rank. In addition, every family has produced some famous poets, calligraphers, painters, etc. , Another feature is that they are basically local landlords.

Many of them are also concurrently engaged in business, mining and smelting.

However, these people who came this time, although they are all family members, are not the ones who are doing well in various family officials today, because those Jinshi-born officials who are good officials are now either in Beijing or in other places in Tartarism. Woolen cloth.

So when they came here, they were all terrified.

For example, the Gao family in Zichuan, the Wang family in the Bi family, the Wang family in Zhangqiu, and the Li family in Zhangqiu are better. At any rate, they have already obtained understanding from the emperor, although each of them is also bleeding heavily.

It is precisely because of their examples that although Sun Sixiao and other representatives of various families are terrified, they still have a little confidence in their hearts. This trip is to kill pigs, let blood and cut meat. As long as the meat is cut properly, they should be able to pass the test.

Of course, the emperor's quick sweep of Shandong, especially the way he took Jinan, made none of them dare to look down on them.

Although the emperor was from Shandong, according to some rumors in the market, this emperor was very complicated and sometimes very kind. For example, he was very kind to the poor and the soldiers of Qiuba, but he was very rude to the gentry and powerful.

But he was quite measured in his actions, and he didn't say that he would go to death after being angry.

Zhu Yihai was very dissatisfied with these fellow villagers, but he didn't stop there. Many of these families are still officials in the Tatars, and he didn't plan to liquidate them.

Neither will they list any traitorous parties, nor will they search their homes for liquidation.

After all, it involves a wide range of areas, and at this time it is still necessary to distinguish between the main contradiction and the secondary contradiction. The main contradiction is the main contradiction with the Tartars, and the secondary contradiction is at best the internal contradiction with the powerful Han people who are attached to the Tartars.

Of course, he will not condone and maintain these families.
