At the end of the Song Dynasty, the Tatars nominally entered the Central Plains, but in a hundred years, they did not become the actual rulers of China.

Perhaps for the Tatars, as long as they can plunder the wealth of China and enjoy the women of China, everything else is not important. It is generally considered that China and the Khanate of the Tatars, such as the Golden Horde. The Tatar nobles only enjoy and plunder, but nothing else matters.

Over the past hundred years, the Tatars caused great trauma to China, but they were all on the material level. In the cultural or spiritual level, China is still China. In a hundred years, there were no fewer rebels, and in an unrestrained army.

In comparison, the Qing Dynasty in history was truly cruel - the Jurchens completed their actual rule and almost really interrupted the backbone of a nation. This is the most terrifying thing.

It is impossible for those individuals in the Qing Dynasty to break the backbone of a nation and destroy her spirit. They have accomplices - scholars who have gradually lost their integrity since the Song Dynasty.

Zhao Kuangyin and scholars and officials ruled the world together, which created the prosperous cultural era of the Song Dynasty. The Song Dynasty inherited the Tang Dynasty, so the Northern Song Dynasty still had a reputation for martial arts. When scholars mastered everything, the fact that martial arts were not martial and the Southern Song Dynasty was weaker than the Northern Song Dynasty proved this.

But after all, a considerable number of the literati at that time were still morally and had a bottom line. After Yashan, 100,000 people died in the sea. How tragic?

After the end of the Song Dynasty, the Tatars entered China and were in chaos for a hundred years. Zhu Hongwu started at the slightest moment, and Fenzhang killed and expelled the Tartars and restored China. Only then did you know how to do it.

At the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, state affairs were difficult. Where were the difficulties? The difficulties were in governing the country. Governing the country required literati, but at the end of the Song Dynasty, those with bones had gone to the sea, and most of the remaining were people like "the water was too cold". After experiencing the oppression and killing of the Tatars, a large number of those with bones were also killed. The scholars had already become servile and corrupt.

People say that Zhu Hongwu is very murderous. I don’t know how many officials and literati were killed during the country. I am afraid that this killing was to correct his profound slavery and corrupt morality?

Thinking about the rise of a red power hundreds of years later, it was the second in the world, there were so many literati slaves and so many big Vs licking dogs, we can infer the dilemma that Zhu Hongwu faced in the early Ming Dynasty.

Hongwu was born in a grassroots place and could not tolerate sand in his eyes. It is understandable that he would have killed more and more violently.

Of course, the licking dogs hundreds of years later was outside. Zhu Hongwu faced literati with no moral integrity, the bottom line was like an abyss, and his character was closer to the Tatars.

Ten taels of silver are peeled and filled with grass. It is so harsh, for no reason. A new dynasty has just been established, but the literati who governed the people are all rats. He imitated and exploited the people like their former masters. Can Zhu Hongwu tolerate it?!

Whether it is the strict criminal law in the early Ming Dynasty or the establishment of the violent institution of the Jinyiwei, it has its historical background.

Zhu Hongwu was easy to kill, but the trend had improved a lot. But now, Zhu Hongwu still failed after all.

Since the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, it has gradually been rooted in the rotten things in the hearts of scholars and has not been eradicated. As the emperor gradually became powerless and strong, and as the literati gradually grasped the general trend, they gradually had no scruples, and everything began to be exposed.

By this time, it has reached its peak.

Of course, not all scholars are like this. For example, in the late Song Dynasty, half of the bones were basically dead, and most of the rest were boneless. Their Taoist traditions were successfully passed down. The bones and stumbling, their Taoist traditions were still accepted by people after all, and some were passed down, and then resisted and then resisted. But they gradually became corrupt after the Ming Dynasty. In history, after the Jiashen National Incident, there were still many scholars in the world who died for their country. These people may not be good people and have done many evil deeds, but they can still stick to a little bottom line.

However, there are too few such people.

If you can still get half apart at the end of the Song Dynasty, you will probably be about 95% to half a percent in the end of the Ming Dynasty, perhaps even less.

Even literary leaders like Qian Qianyi are too cold, and you can imagine the ugly things inside. The literary leaders are shameless, let alone others?

Why did the sages emphasize virtue? In fact, it is to give scholars a face so that scholars can hold this face.

Therefore, scholars in the late Ming Dynasty were no longer disciples of the sages. They could not even meet the most basic requirements of the sages for inheritors, so how could they be considered successors?

Qian Qianyi is a typical example. For him, the teachings of the sages were only used for mounting. When necessary, they could tear them apart at any time and abandon them at any time. As long as they were beneficial, he would dare to do it. What is virtue? What is old face? What is integrity? What is family and country? If possible, he could sell it for money.

Moreover, he pretended very well. Before everything was revealed, in the eyes of ordinary people, and even in the eyes of those by his pillow, he was always the leader of the literary world.

Perhaps only those who truly know him, such as his political enemies, know how disgusting faces are hidden under the old tree bark.

The storm blowing from the north quickly swept across the entire Jiangnan. Most of the old ministers were busy resisting Ying Yi's preparations while finding a way out for themselves. There were only a very small number of "pedantic" people, such as Shi Kefa, who were running around sincerely.

After leaving Yan Ermei, Shi Kefa still has no shortage of praise paintings. Some people suggest that Shi Kefa should probably find the orthodox first.

"The cabinet department, according to the students' opinions, Yingtian had lost its orthodox. Chongzhen issued an edict to abdicate the throne and declared the Ming Dynasty's destruction. Yingtian Jiangnan became a rootless duck. The power of the rebels was great and could not be compared with it. Only by finding the orthodox can one do something."

After hearing this, Shi Kefa couldn't help but say, "How to find the orthodox?"

He said: "Emperor Chongzhen is orthodox. As long as he can explain to the people of the world that he was forced by the thief, everything will be spared."

Shi Kefa couldn't help but ponder, and after a moment, he said, "Save Emperor Chongzhen back?!"

“Yes.”

Shi Kefa frowned: "Emperor Chongzhen is in the capital, thousands of miles apart. How can he make a move under the noses of the thief?"

"If the rebels are strong, the capital must be very cautious. Ordinary people are unable to do anything, but... the cabinet may use the hands of powerful people and strangers, but it may not fail to succeed."

Shi Kefa was stunned, and his heart was filled with clouds and sunlight. He suddenly realized. He stood up suddenly, walked back and forth excitedly, and stroking his hands, "It's reasonable to say it, it's reasonable to say it!"

Standing still, Shi Kefa said: "The powerful people in the world are the best, Zhang Tianshi of Longhu Mountain. I will visit Tianshi and ask him to take action!"

As he said that, he hurried out and said, "With the power of the Heavenly Master, it is not necessary to rescue Emperor Chongzhen. Perhaps he can go further..."
