Chongzhen Daming: Starting from Coal Mountain

Chapter 113 The World Responds
At noon of the same day, Chongzhen's "Decree to Seek Captives" rushed to the south of the Yangtze River and Huguang, Yunnan, Guizhou, Guangdong and Guangxi and other remote provinces at a speed of [-] miles.

That afternoon, the edict arrived at Jiangyin Mansion.

Chen Mingyu, the history of Jiangyin classics, had an old relationship with Feng Houdun, the instructor of Jiangyin. When he was studying in Jiangyin Prefecture, Chen Mingyu happened to see the edict. After returning to Jiangyin Prefecture, he relayed it to his colleague Yan Yingyuan.

After hearing this, Yan Yingyuan was silent for a moment, then got up and said, "I'm going."

"Where are you going, brother?" Chen Mingyu got up anxiously and asked, "Nanjing?"

Yan Yingyuan just walked forward and said without looking back, "Of course."

Chen Mingyu said: "The sage called is a scholar who is not an official, and my brother is a history."

Yan Yingyuan said: "If I abandon my official position now, I will become a scholar who is not an official, that's okay."

"Brother wait a moment, I will go with you!" Chen Mingyu immediately took off his official robe.

As soon as the two of them left the government office, they suddenly heard the sound of reciting loudly behind them. When they looked back, they saw Feng Houdun, the preceptor of the government school, walking along the street with a dozen students.

"Where does Brother Feng want to go?"

"Where does Brother Chen want to go?"

Feng Houdun and Chen Mingyu asked questions almost at the same time.

Immediately, the two responded at the same time: "Nanjing!"

After speaking, the two laughed and said, "Let's go together!"

……

In the evening of that day, the edict arrived at Songjiang Mansion.

Xia Wanchun, a student of Songjiang Prefecture, was only fourteen years old. After reading the imperial edict, he couldn't help feeling excited. He immediately returned home and silently shared the imperial edict word for word with his father Xia Yunyi.

Xia Yunyi was a ten-year Jinshi in Chongzhen, and Ding You was at home because of his father's death.

Chen Zilong, who was at home because of his father's death and Ding You, happened to be in Xiafu.

Chen Zilong and Xia Yunyi are not only from the same hometown, but also from the same age, so they are good friends of the whole family.

After reading the edict written by Xia Wanchun silently, Xia Yunyi and Chen Zilong spoke out almost at the same time after a moment of silence: "The father is in trouble, the family and the country are in danger, I dare not abolish the government because of personal interests, and lose the big because of smallness."

Immediately, the two bid farewell to their mothers at home, packed their bags and came to Nanjing Guozijian.

Xia Wanchun wanted to go with him, but Xia Yunyi refused at a young age, but he did not give up.

After Xia Yunyi left, Xia Wanchun's statement of "being humble and not daring to forget the country's worries, and to report to the king's father even at a young age" finally won the approval of his grandmother, aunt, and biological mother, and he also packed his bags and set foot on the road to Nanjing.

But Xia Wanchun didn't go on the road alone, there were two uncles with him.

Xia Wanchun is in charge of Xia Yunyi, who has been engaged to Jiashan's Qian family since he was a child. His father-in-law Qian Yanlin is talented and chivalrous, and in another time and space, he died together with Xia Wanchun for fighting against the Qing Dynasty.

Qian Yanlin's eldest son, Qian Xi, was also a student member of the government, and died of an anti-Qing disease in another time and space.

The second son, Qian Mo, was able to write poems at the age of eight, and his talent and learning were outstanding. After his father and brother died in the war against the Qing Dynasty, they fled to the mountains.

Going to Nanjing with Xia Wanchun and the others, there are also dozens of scholars from Songjiang Prefecture School and Jiashan Prefecture School.

In another time and space, most of these scholars died for fighting against the Qing Dynasty, and gave their young lives to guard Hanzuo.

These young scholars bid farewell to their hometown and relatives with tears in their eyes, and embarked on a journey of iron and blood with their infinite loyalty and love for the clothes of China and the ancestral temple of the Han family.
……

When the edict was sent to Ningbo Mansion, it was the beginning of the next afternoon.

The teaching edict of Ningbo Mansion invited Zhu Shunshui, a famous scholar from Yuyao, and Zhang Huangyan, a Juren from Yin County, to give lectures to the students of the mansion. As a result, halfway through the lecture, the imperial edict was delivered.

After reading the edict to ask for captives, the student members of the government immediately fry the pot.

"Body, hair and skin, the parents who received them did not dare to hurt them. It is the beginning of filial piety. How could we allow Jiannu to mutilate those who were hurt?"

"Confucius said to achieve benevolence, Meng said to obtain righteousness, our Han family's clothes have been passed down for more than two thousand years, how can we let Jiannu invade?"

"Three emperors and five emperors, Qin and Han successively, my Huaxia ancestral temple has lasted for more than five thousand years, how can we allow slaves to destroy our country?"

"The majestic China, the brilliant Han Zuo, the Ming Dynasty is the Ming Dynasty of all the scholar-bureaucrats, the Ming Dynasty of all the descendants of the Yellow Emperor, not the Ming Dynasty of the Zhu family's royal family!"

"The rise and fall, everyone is responsible!"

"Zhuangzai Siyan, we should rise up and fight for Ming Dynasty!"

"Yes, we should fight for our parents, for our clothes, and for our ancestral temple!"

"Students, is there anyone who goes with me? Anyone who goes with me will follow me, Wang Jiaqin, to Nanjing today to serve the king. I will not regret entering China in this life, and I will be a Chinese in the next life! Let's go!"

"Brother Jiaqin, I, Zhang Mengxi, would like to go with you!"

"I, Dong Zhining, would also like to go, count me in!"

"And I, Mao Jukui, will be with you!"

"How could such a grand event be without me, Lu Yuding, let's go together!"

"My late father named me Huaxia, which implied the deep meaning of fighting for Huaxia. This time, we will build captives and invade the country, and our family and country will be in trouble. If I, Huaxia, just ignore my father's will, I will go too!"

"Haha, good, so the six crazy students from Ningbo have gathered together, let's go together."

Huang Jiaqin and other six students were named "Six Crazy Students" because they praised current affairs.

In another time and space in history, all the six crazy students in Ningbo died because of the resistance to the Qing Dynasty.

While talking, Zhang Huangyan, a Juren from Yin County who was invited by the teaching order, suddenly said: "Wait a minute, everyone, I, Zhang Huangyan, am only twenty-four years old this year, and I am also called. I will go with you."

Zhu Shunshui on the other side couldn't hold back either: "There's still me."

"It's even better to have two seniors going together." Wang Jiaqin and the other six were overjoyed.

Wang Jiaqin and other six students responded to the edict one after another, and Zhang Huangyan and Zhu Shunshui two seniors contributed to the flames, and the other students of Ningbo Prefectural School were inevitably aroused.

"Go together, we will go together!"

In the end, almost all the students from Ningbo Fuxue left.

After the students left, Jiaoyu looked at the empty classroom in a daze.

How do you say that?It seems that there has never been such a thing throughout the ages.

How did the Holy Majesty remember to call on the scholars and students from all over the world to fight for the country?

Shouldn't fighting be the duty of those warriors?
What does this have to do with my generation of Confucian scholars?
……

It was already three days later when the edict to seek captives arrived at Changsha Mansion in Huguang.

Wang Fuzhi, one of the three Confucian scholars during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, was only twenty-five years old at the time. He and his elder brother Wang Jiezhi, friends Xia Rubi and Guan Siqiu had already passed the Chinese style in the Wuchang provincial examination two years ago. Reading together at Yuelu Academy, brothers and classmates compete in knowledge and essays every day. Life is hard but fulfilling.

One day, Wang Fuzhi and others were about to write an article, and some students rushed into the room.

"Everyone, the emperor has issued an edict against captives. All my classmates, the emperor has issued an edict to my generation, King Qin!"

The emperor issued an edict?Wang Fuzhi and others looked at each other, and immediately ran out of the classroom to the Chengde Hall in the center of Yuelu Academy, but they saw that the front of the Chengde Hall was already crowded with students.

A scholar was holding a transcribed imperial edict and reading it aloud.

"...At this time when the slaves are established and the world is in turmoil, all the sons and daughters of our Han family should take on the responsibility of defending the land and resisting the war. You, the scholars and students, have read the books of sages and sages, and you should set an example for the world. Fight for the body, hair and skin of my generation, fight for the clothes and clothes of my parents in the Han family, and fight for my Chinese ancestral temple!"

Hearing this sentence, Wang Fuzhi instantly felt his blood boil.

The country is in danger, the ancestral temple and the country are in danger of being overthrown, the emperor wants to call the world's scholars to fight for the country!How can I, a scholar in my life, just sit back and watch?When you are called to be king!

The scholars on the stage were still reading aloud.

"One inch of mountains and rivers, one inch of blood, one hundred thousand soldiers and one hundred thousand troops!"

"I, a scholar of the Ming Dynasty, can not only read books, but also raise a three-foot green spear to fight against the enemy."

"More than [-] years ago, Chen Tang once said: Anyone who commits crimes against a strong man will be punished no matter how far away he is!"

"Today, the scholars of my generation must also let Jiannu know that the clothes of the Han family cannot be taken away, the Chinese ancestral temple cannot be invaded, and the dignity of the Ming Dynasty cannot be desecrated! Anyone who dares to desecrate my Ming Dynasty will be punished even though he is strong!"

"Fight for the clothes of China, fight for the ancestral temple and the country, even if you die a hundred times, you will have no regrets!"

"I have no regrets about entering China in this life, and I will be a Chinese in the next life! Long live the Ming Dynasty!"

The last sentence, long live the Ming Dynasty, was added by the scholars who read the edict, but it was added just right, and it immediately brought up the emotions of all the scholars in front of Chengde Hall.

All the scholars followed suit.

"Long live the Ming Dynasty! Long live the Ming Dynasty!"

Wang Fuzhi didn't yell, and the expression on his face was abnormally calm, but there was already a thunder in his heart. This is the legend that there is thunder in the chest, and the face is as flat as a lake!
"Brother, Shuzhi and Zhizhong." Wang Fuzhi's calm eyes swept over the faces of his elder brother Wang Jiezhi, his friends Xia Rubi and Guan Siqiu, and he said calmly, "Your father is in trouble, and our family and country are in danger. We really can't sit idly by. Ignore it, I decided to go to Nanjing King Qin alone, and I will bid farewell today."

"And Nong!" Xia Rubi said with emotion, "I will go with you."

"I'll go too." Guan Siqiu also said, "Isn't our generation studying to report to the country and bring peace to the people? When the world is in chaos, it is the time for us to serve the country and the people!"

Only Wang Jiezhi said in a low voice: "Then what about the mother?"

"Brother, any younger brother in our Wang family can go alone." Wang Fuzhi knelt down to his elder brother and kowtowed three times, his forehead was bleeding. After serving, if my parents ask where my little brother is going, they can say that he will go out to study, and he will return to his hometown in a few days."

Wang Jiezhi then shed tears, choked up and could not make a sound.

"Brother, let's go, little brother!" Wang Fuzhi got up and left.

It was not until Wang Fuzhi walked away that Wang Jiezhi finally called out.

"Third brother, soldiers are fierce and dangerous, be careful, be careful!"

……

It was already the fourth day when Zuo Maotai saw this paper to discuss the imperial edict.

At that time, Zuo Maotai had already arrived in Huai'an, and was making a big fuss about Fan Zhongjie's government office in the same year.

Fan Zhongjie had just returned to the government office after observing the people's sentiments, and he hadn't had time to check the backlog of official documents. Naturally, he hadn't seen the edict sent to Huai'an two days ago, so he felt a little restrained when facing Zuo Maotai.

Because Fan Zhongjie didn't know how to receive Zuo Maotai?
According to diplomatic envoys, Ming Dynasty has not yet recognized Manchukuo.

Moreover, Zuo Maotai was demoted from the Ming Dynasty, so he was hated by others, and even Fan Zhongjie himself wanted to beat him up.

But if Zuo Maotai was really treated poorly, Fan Zhongjie was worried that Jiannu would be angered, which might ruin the event, so Fan Zhongjie was a little bit restrained for a while.
