Chapter 471 The Course of History

Zuo Menggeng didn't realize that ever since that soul appeared in his mind, his character has become a bit cold-blooded.

Originally, he was also a flamboyant young man who was flamboyant, laughing and cursing all over his face, but now, there are few things that can make him lose his mind.

Breaking with Zuo Liangyu, if it were anyone else, I believe it would be a devastating torment, and it is even possible to sink into it and never get out.

But for him, just getting annoyed and entangled for a while, he quickly clarified his will.

Instead, he was more worried about the thoughts of his mother Huang, his younger sister Zuo Xianmei and others under his command.

Once he was convinced of their ideas, he had no burden and simply put the matter behind him.

What if Zuo Liangyu is back?
He didn't think about this question at all.

He believed that even if he didn't have to do it himself, Hou Xun, Li Banghua and others would solve it for him.

Even if he does it himself, he will not be soft.

While he was dealing with this matter, Zhang Pu, who was far away in the south of the Yangtze River, also sent a divine assist.

"Zhongheng, look, this is Zhang Pu's latest article. He has officially declared war on us, and he has attracted so many people."

Taking the article from Huang Zongxi, Zuo Menggeng read it carefully.

The debate lasted for more than a year. Like all disputes in history, the contradictions between the two sides eventually intensified and lost their original elegance.

Between the lines, it is full of murderous intent.

That's right.

This is a conflict of interests, a life-and-death situation, so you have to play a gentleman's demeanor.

At the beginning, Wang Anshi and Sima Guang were quite restrained, just discussing the matter as it stands.

How did it end?
In Zhang Pu's latest article, he unreservedly waved the flag for feudal ethics.

[Zhou Wu divides the feudal title, and the world returns to its heart; Qin Huang is unified, and the rules are in order.Just as the sun shines in the daytime and the moon shines in the night, each has its own radius.Therefore, emperors, generals and ministers, scholars, farmers, businessmen and commerce, the relationship between human beings, and the advocacy of the way of heaven...]

The whole article is full of speeches defending the landlord class and belittling the working people.

The article confuses all living beings to accept their class status and endure exploitation and oppression.

Because this is the way of heaven and ethics.

Otherwise, the mud legs and the landlord are equal, isn't that the opposite?

[The man from eastern Zhejiang, in the name of a great Confucian, commits evil and rebellious actions, corrupts the rules and regulations, invites fame and fortune, and is the public thief of the world! 】

Zhang Pu finally tore his face, and yelled at Liu Zongzhou to the point of beating and killing.

Zuo Menggeng didn't feel much, and I believe Liu Zongzhou is the same.

But at the end of the article, when Zuo Menggeng saw the person who signed it, he knew that it was time for a showdown.

Official officials such as Fu Zhenshang, Shangshu of the Nanjing Ministry of War, Xie Sheng, Shangshu of the Nanjing Ministry of Rites, Lu Weiqi, Nanjing COFCO, as well as great Confucian scholars from all over the world, all stood up and criticized the remarks of Liu Zongzhou and others.

As for Zhang Pu's helpers, Zuo Menggeng knew at a glance that they were all the most stubborn supporters of Neo-Confucianism.

There is no possibility of making peace with these people.

That's it, let's fight.

"Our counterattack article, here I come."

Huang Zongxi's eyes lit up.

"Are you finally willing to make a move?"

Zuo Menggeng rolled his eyes.

"It's not that you scolded me hard enough."

Huang Zongxi actually did it himself.

"You say, I will write."

Zuo Menggeng did not write many articles, only "On the Wealth of Nations" and "On War".

But these two articles are all professional knowledge. In this era, without his personal guidance, no one else can understand them.

It's not that Huang Zongxi never thought about asking Zuo Menggeng to invite manuscripts, but seeing Zuo Menggeng running around all the time, he had no choice but to give up.

This time Zuo Menggeng took the initiative to invite Ying, of course he would be the first reader.

Huang Zongxi wrote it on behalf of Zuo Menggeng.Think for a while and start talking.

"The beginning of a human being can't be seen for a long time..."

Huang Zongxi was taken aback for a moment, thinking that Zuo Menggeng could also write parallel five parallel six, with gorgeous rhetoric?

It's not slow to write, it's already written on the paper.

Zuo Menggeng's eyes kept paying attention to his progress, and continued: "Pangu Nuwa, the words of the myth; the three emperors and five emperors, with few strokes. Dayu made the tripod and divided it into Kyushu, so there is Huaxia."

Huang Zongxi savored while writing, and understood that Zuo Menggeng was stating the origin of China.

In the article, the meaning is clearly expressed.

No one knows when Huaxia started, because the history is too long.

In this regard, Zuo Menggeng is still very confident.

Not to mention now, in the era of such advanced technology in later generations, it is impossible to make a conclusion on the origin of China.

Throughout the ages, there are both myths and legends as well as pen and ink records about the origin of China.

Regarding this, Zuo Menggeng also asserted.

The myths and stories are illusory and not enough to be believed in; the Three Emperors and Five Emperors are well known, but the records about them are very scarce and cannot be sufficient evidence.

So let's start with Dayu making the tripod.

This passage, of course, is for his later argument.

[Wu Wang defeated Zhou, although he had achieved hundreds of years of dynasty.However, Zhou was a small country in Xiyi, unable to pacify the world.Although the business is dead, its strength still exists.It is not a wise move of King Wu to reassure people's hearts by enfeoffment, it is really a helpless strategy. 】

This passage made Huang Zongxi's eyes shine brightly, and he felt that he had learned something.

For thousands of years, when it comes to King Wu's defeat of Zhou and the division of feudalism and founding the country, many famous scholars have praised it, and even regarded it as an example of consolidating the principles of ethics.

The core of Confucianism is etiquette, and its concrete manifestation is Gang Chang.

The ruler guides his ministers, the father guides his sons, and the husband guides his wife. There is such a distinction between superiority and inferiority, that everyone only needs to understand their own position, and the world will not be in turmoil.

Confucius obviously didn't have this idea when he founded Confucianism, but the latecomers of Confucianism added too much condiment to it, which made Confucianism begin to change its taste.

There was no Confucianism when King Wu conquered Zhou and established feudal states.

This can all be far-fetched as an example, Zuo Menggeng had to mock it.

[Qin Shihuang set up prefectures and counties, assigned officials to manage the world, and became unified.The root cause is nothing more than the progress in transportation, production, manufacturing and other fields, which has promoted the close connection of all parts of the world.It is no longer necessary for the king to enfeoff the princes and the land to seal the borders to consolidate the regime. 】

Didn't you say that the actions of King Wu and King Qin are in line with Confucian principles? Now let's expose your old background.

In fact, these great achievements that shine through the history are nothing but the inevitable result of the development of productive forces.

[In the pre-Qin period, utensils were crude and crude, mostly bronze.The efficiency of farming and war is not high. In order to control limited wealth, kings, nobles, officials, etc. control the slaves who have nothing, and try their best to oppress them. 】

[Since the Qin Dynasty, iron wares have been available, and it continues to this day. Strong ships and sharp guns are rampant all over the world, and thousands of miles away are also connected.The sharpness of guns and guns, bows, crossbows, knives and swords also avoid their fronts.With the evolution of production tools, it will inevitably bring about an increase in productivity and a sharp increase in wealth.And the production relationship that matches it must also evolve accordingly. 】

[The general trend of the world is like this, and the wheel of history is unstoppable.It's ridiculous that some people still cling to the handicapped, don't give up the privileges and prestige in their hands, and still take pleasure in oppressing the people.Such people will be crushed by the wheel of history and turned into ridiculous dust, and will also become the fertilizer for the growth and expansion of the new world. 】

Zhang Pu scolded viciously, but Zuo Menggeng was even more ruthless.

And the whole vernacular is simple and easy to understand, even old farmers in the fields can understand the meaning.

This article can be called a declaration of war by the advanced forces against the old forces.

Having said all that needs to be said, Zuo Menggeng begged Huang Zongxi: "Send this article to Songjiang Mansion and tell it to print a million copies and distribute it all over the world."

Huang Zongxi laughed out loud.

"You've blown the sky away."

Zuo Menggeng was full of vigor and confidence.

"We have been trying our best for six years. We have accumulated extremely powerful power, and it is time to release it. Those who are afraid of us, since they cannot destroy us, then tremble in front of our power."
