Chapter 254 The King's Order!

Yao Xi and Lin Yaozu took the guard and police equipment around the study. Zhou Charter asked Lin Yaozu to accompany Zhang Peilun and take charge of Zhang Peilun's safety. Together with Jin Shu, he took Yao Xi out of the governor's mansion and went to Najin's residence.

Najin's residence is next to the Governor's Mansion. It is a very elegant small courtyard called "Liaoyuan". The small courtyard is not big, but the yard is full of green trees and bamboo, which is very quiet. Zhou Charter knew that Jin liked to be quiet and was especially opposed to publicity. When he built the governor's mansion, Zhou Charter asked Liu Yongfu to build such a secluded courtyard for Najin. Jin lived in it and was very comfortable.

Zhou Charter and Jin Shu came to leave the garden. When the servants in front of the door saw Zhou Charter, they hurriedly bowed: "Your Excellency, Mrs. Jin, the old gentleman is waiting for you in the study."

"My teacher is waiting for us?" Zhou Charter was a little surprised.

"Yes." The servant said, "This morning, the old gentleman got up early in the morning and said that my apprentice is coming today and let us wait here. Well, you are really here. The old gentleman is really amazing. He will tell fortunes!"

Zhou Charter is a little inexplicable. The old man Jin is full of sages. However, this old man also got the true biography of Confucius. He has always disdained divination and divination.

Zhou Charter and Jin Shu hurriedly entered the park and came to the front of the study. Inside, there was a cadence chant of Jin: "... Kyushu is wrong? What's wrong with Chuangu? The east stream does not overflow, who knows the reason? How many repairs are there in the east, west, north and south? The north and south fall, and its derivative geometry..."

Zhou Charter and Jin Shu looked at each other and were puzzled. This old man has always respected Confucian classics and read four books and five classics. What he chants today is Qu Yuan's "Tianwen". In the minds of Confucianism, Qu Yuan's character is no problem. He is a role model figure, but Qu Yuan's poems have never been respected by Confucianism, because there are too many strange forces in the poems, especially Tianwen, which is not only ridiculous, but also has a momentum to break the casserole questioning to the end. Between the words, they are full of doubts about everything in the world. This kind of thinking is very restless. If the people in the world follow Qu Yuan and doubt everything, it will be a mess that day.

The regular etiquette respected by Confucianism is beyond doubt, and the divine authority respected by Confucianism is even more indisputable. Refusing to doubt that this is the ultimate weapon that rulers, including the defenders of the rule, have imprisoned Chinese minds for 2,000 years. This weapon, which maintains China's two-year unification, has also led to China's defeat in the world tide in the 19th century!

As the saying goes, Xiao He has become a failure! Confucian culture has long since the prosperity of the Han and Tang Dynasties, and has long since the decline of the Qing Dynasty!

If the rulers of the Qing Dynasty are responsible for the decline of China in the 19th century, their responsibility is that they have brought Confucian culture to the extreme, and what they have done is exactly what the ancient sages of China dreamed of!

History is always so funny!

Qu Yuan's Tianwen is a deviant in the eyes of Confucianism. However, today, a generation of great Confucian Najin actually chanted this poem more than 2,000 years ago. In the chant, there is no inherent sourness and length of Jin. In his voice, there is desolation and loneliness, just like the long-crowned bart wandering by the Miluo River 2,000 years ago, facing the irresistible The vast river left makes a lonely and hoarse cry!

Zhou Charter couldn't help but burst into tears!

Jin Shu gently held Zhou Charter's hand. Like Zhou Charter, she felt the despair and sadness in Jin's heart!

When the two entered the study, Jin Duan sat at the desk, shook his head, and completely ignored the existence of the two: "... How big is the spirit snake swallowing the elephant? Black water, Xuanzhi, three dangers? If you don't die, how long will you live? ......”

Zhou Charter knelt down carefully: "Apprentice, please send his peace to the master." Jin Shu bowed her bow. Zhou Charter's Taiwan and Dynasties have long abolished kneeling, but Zhou Charter has always knelt down in front of Jin, and Jin has also accepted it calmly, but Jin Shu can avoid kneeling. This is Jin's special request for the Zhou Charter.

Jin put down the book and looked at Zhou Charter's kowtowed, and then cleared his throat: "The apprentice is free, the apprentice's daughter-in-law is free of courtesy. Look at you, why is this necessary? Well, Taiwan has not been able to kneel down for a long time."

Jin Shu laughed and said, "Master is so hypocritical. Obviously, he looked at the charter and kowtowed, and said that he couldn't kneel down!" In the whole Taiwan and two places, only Jin Shu dared to speak like this in front of Jin.

"This is not hypocrisy!" Jin Zhengse said, "Well, my daughter-in-law, as a teacher, I don't want to earn him a head, but to maintain my Chinese etiquette and teacher dignity!"

"Then why can I not kowtow?"

"You are a woman. Women, don't forget about this sloppy etiquette. Didn't Confucius say that only women and villains are difficult to raise. Jin said, "Well, why did you come to me?"

Jin Shu smiled and said, "Master, didn't you come earlier? Why didn't you count what we came to do?"

Jin was a little embarrassed, pondered for a while and said, "Charter, I really don't know what you are going to do as a teacher, but I heard that Zhang Peilun is coming?"

"Yes, Master." Zhou Charter answered carefully.

Jin's face was gloomy and speechless for a long time. Zhou Charter was worried and full of words, but he didn't know where to start, so he had to bow his head and be silent.

Jin Shu said, "Master, just now, Charter and Mr. Zhang met in the Governor's House. Mr. Zhang advised Charter..."

"Don't say it!" Jin interrupted Jin Shu's words: "I know what you are here to say!"

Zhou Charter lamented that before he could speak, Jin blocked his words, and he didn't even want to hear it!

Jin knew Zhang Peilun. When he was in Beijing, Zhang Peilun once visited Najin. Without saying a few words, they shouted "Fuck" and drove Zhang Peilun out of the house.

In the eyes of Jin, Zhang Peilun is worse than the revolutionary Sun Wen! Sun Wen wanted to revolutionize and overthrow the court, but it is understandable that Sun Wen has never received imperial grace. Zhang Peilun was a scholar of generations. He himself was blessed by the Empress Dowager and was once majestic in the court of the Qing Dynasty, but this guy's thoughts were more reactionary than Sun Wen's. He was really a white-eyed wolf!

Now, Jin's beloved apprentice is actually mixed with Zhang Peilun, and the anger in Jin's heart can be imagined!

Jin picked up the book and began to shake his head again: "The emperor gathers his life, but why should he warn him? Receive the gift from all over the world and replace it? At the beginning, Tomson was sincere, and later he was assisted. Why don't you respect Zongxu?" After reading this, Jin put down the book and was speechless.

"Tianwen" is regarded as apostate by Confucianism, and the most important reason is these words!

It doubts the divine grant of imperial power and the eternity of the monarchy!

This is consistent with Zhang Peilun's thoughts!

Now, the Confucian master Na Jin is chanting these words repeatedly.

Jin slowly raised his head and said, "Charter, haven't you forgotten what I taught you as a teacher?"

"Master's teaching, I will never forget it all my life!" Zhou Charter said.

"The death of the Ming Dynasty is in full swing!" Jin's eyes were full of fear. He seemed to return to the tragic years of the change of the dynasty 300 years ago, Yangzhou Santu, Jiading ten days, Zhang Xianzhong Tuchuan, Li Zicheng Tu Kaifeng... Zhu Yuanzhang's descendants were slaughtered, and the land of China was devastated.

"Master..."

Jin waved his hand, stopped Zhou Charter, and sighed softly: "Apprentice, I only look forward to it as a teacher, and the death of the Qing Dynasty is like smoke and dust!"

Zhou Charter was shocked and suddenly raised his head. Jin's eyes were closed, and two lines of hot tears flowed from the corners of his eyes!

Yehenarajin, the loyal guardian of the Qing Dynasty and the defender of Confucian culture, is mourning for the Qing Dynasty in advance!

Zhou Charter leaned over and said, "The apprentice is not good..."

"Go! Do what you should do!" Jin's eyes returned to the book, and his desolate chant echoed in the study: "The emperor gathers his life, but what is the precept for it? Receive the courtesy of the world and replace it..."

......

On April 1, 1898, Zhou Charter personally led the Second Fleet of Zhangjun, the North Korean Fleet, and the Third Army stationed in Ryukyu, with a total strength of 50,000 and 20 warships, including the latest purchase of two of the world's most advanced warships, Dingyang and Dingzhou, entered Jiaozhou Bay.

In the early morning of April 2, Zhou Charter issued an ultimatum to the German army stationed in Qingdao in the name of the governor and prime minister of the Taiwan dynasty of the Qing Dynasty. Within 24 hours, the German army unconditionally withdrew from Qingdao, handed over Qingdao defense to Zhangjun, and ensured that the forts, arsenals and barracks along the coast of Jiaozhou Bay were intact. Zhang Jun guaranteed the safety of the evacuation of the German army and designated Shanghai Wusongkou as the gathering place after the German army withdrew from Qingdao, where they would get enough food and fresh water to return to their base in Malaysia.

Dietrich, the commander of the German Far East Fleet, rejected Zhang Jun's ultimatum and ordered the German Far East Fleet, which had advanced warships such as Kaiser and Kaiser, to make a decisive battle with Zhang Jun with the coastal fort.

However, Zhang Jun's Second Fleet did not launch a decisive battle with the Far East Fleet, but blocked the exit of Jiaozhou Bay and trapped the Far East Fleet in the port. On April 3, the deadline for the ultimatum came. Li Guoge and Guo Erba led the Third Army of the Zhang Army and landed in Weihaiwei, led by the Marine Corps.

As Zhang Peilun expected, the landing of Zhang Jun did not encounter any resistance from the Qing army. Yuan Shikai's new army only sent one battalion to Weihaiwei. After Zhang's landing, the new army of this battalion was ordered by Duan Qirui, and the whole battalion fired shots at the sky, and then retreated to Jinan with neat steps. Zhang Jun's marines also fired shots at the sky and saluted the retreating new army.

On April 4, the Qing court declared Zhang Jun as a rebel and ordered the Qing army in all parts of Shandong to resist. The Qing army stationed along the coast of Shandong, including Dai Zongqian, the commander of Weihaiwei, and Li Bingheng, the governor of Shandong, collapsed without a fight. Yuan Shikai, the commander of the new army, gave up all the positions along the coast of Shandong and retreated 50 miles, highlighting Qingdao occupied by the Germans under the gunpoint of Zhang Jun.
