The eight-hundred-mile journey was urgent and went directly to the Imperial Palace in Nanjing.
When Zhu Hengjia saw this memorial, he was in a dilemma. On the one hand, the great emperor hated Rakshasa to the core and wished he could sweep them away with an iron broom. On the other hand, he was old and cunning, and felt that he was not ready for military preparation.
It is still not perfect, mainly in terms of logistics. Although warehouses have been built in Nurgan and supplies are stored, northern Xinjiang is remote and transportation costs are staggering. If a large army is mobilized, the logistics expenditure cannot be afforded by the national treasury. p>
Emperor Guangwu had been thinking that he would wait another year or two for the treasury to be more abundant and the logistics support to be better before fighting this war. But now the Rakshasa people dared to attack Lu Guansi of the Ming Dynasty, which was tantamount to bullying the Ming Dynasty's family.
If we don’t fight at the door, how will the country’s face be saved?
The development of the situation could not help but fight. I heard that the Ming Dynasty was provoked by the Rakshasa people. Under the instigation of thoughtful people, several conflicts broke out between the Ming army and Huma's Rakshasa army.
Commander-in-Chief Liu Yipeng and Wang Xing, on the orders of Heilongjiang Governor Gu Chaojian, captured the Rakshasa camps in Ekewei and Tahawei. The number of Rakshasa people in these two camps was not large, with more than a hundred people each.
Rakshasa Huma Chief Stepanov drove two nails into the territory of the Ming Dynasty. In the name of revenge, the Ming army successfully pulled out the two nails, thus triggering a greater conflict.
When Stepanov, the Rakshasa chief, heard that the Chinese army had captured two Cossack camps, he was furious and ordered Berekov to lead 200 men to stay and guard Kamarsk Fort (the Russian name for Huma), while he led
Five hundred Cossacks sacked the Khuli Ping Village of the Hulu Guards in the Great Meiji Dynasty.
Unfortunately, the five hundred residents in Huli Ping Village were slaughtered by the Rakshasa people. The village was also looted, and the Rakshasa people set a fire before leaving.
The Kuliping Massacre was only a small-scale war that occurred in the far northern Xinjiang of the Ming Dynasty. In ancient times when information was limited, it would have been difficult to spread the word.
But somehow, it spread throughout the entire Ming Dynasty.
In today's Ming Dynasty, with the development of the economy, the trend of democracy and freedom among the people is getting stronger and stronger, and a dazzling variety of literary societies have emerged one after another. The big literary societies have printed or hand-copied some articles by great Confucians. Over time, a dazzling literary society has formed.
Newspapers. There are "Fushe Daily", "Yunjian Jishe Daily", "Nanshe Wenbao", etc. in almost every province.
Although Emperor Guangwu is most afraid of democracy and freedom, according to him, this country belongs to my family, not to ordinary people like you. He has adopted a series of iron fists to suppress speech, but the trend of historical development cannot be reversed. How can the old emperor suppress it?
, the trend of private newspapers could not be suppressed. Although the old emperor created the imperial newspaper "Da Ming Daily", he also invited the great talent in his heart, the great master Ding Kuichu, to serve as the president and preside over the editing. But because he only
The style of writing that praises and does not criticize shortcomings is read by almost no one except some officials. On the contrary, private newspapers such as "Fushe Daily", "Yunjian Jishe Daily", "Nanshe Wenbao" and so on are read by many people.
It’s so hot.
These private newspapers have a bold writing style and like to criticize current affairs and engage in some explosive topics to attract readers. I don’t know who leaked the news of the Kuliping Massacre to these literary societies. All major newspapers published lengthy articles on the matter. Report.
Public opinion among the people was in an uproar. "How can our majestic dynasty be humiliated by barbarians? Please send the Holy Emperor to quickly send troops to fight against them." "To the extreme"; "If the Ming Dynasty cannot bring down the damn Rakshasa people, it will not be worthy of being called the Kingdom of Heaven"??
Public opinion among the people effectively hijacked the court's public opinion. Civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty went to the emperor one after another, requesting to send troops to conquer the Rakshasa people in order to express the anger of the people.

"Long live Grandpa, Li Yindu's "Essay on Sacrificing the Common People of Huli Ping" has been transcribed by my servant. Please take a look at it." In the Palace of Qianqing in Nanjing, Wang Zhongshun, the eunuch who was on duty as the Superintendent of Ceremonies, presented it respectfully. A piece of paper.
"Well, put it here."
Zhu Hengjia snorted and read the article "Essay on Commemorating the Common People of Huli Ping" attentively.
"At the end of the Renyin year of Guangwu (1662), when I heard that the Rakshasa people massacred the people of Huliping in our northern border, I was filled with righteous indignation. I laid a memorial inscription and said: Oh! There are common people first, and then there are sages. Without common people, how can there be sages? Why do our people deserve to be so poisoned today? Although they were born here and died here, their bones were exposed and their bodies were burned!
The Rakshasa of the Yi tribe, a native of the barbaric wilderness, is cruel in nature, does not respect etiquette, burns, kills, and loots. He is a Rakshasa. For more than thirty years, he has repeatedly harassed the northern border. The water from the East China Sea cannot wash away his sins; he has exhausted the southern mountains. Bamboo, it’s hard to describe its evil. It’s hard to predict how to care for the people with benevolence and righteousness. What’s more, it’s like a desolate and heterogeneous species. How can we care for it with benevolence and righteousness?
Only the heroic heroes of the Holy Emperor drove long chariots to control the inner world, wielded swords and spears to control the world, expelled the Tartars, and restored China. All the nine states were subdued. Their great talents and great strategies were as vast as the accumulation of rivers; their literary and military strategies were as brilliant as the rivers. The glory of the sun and the moon. How can such a heroic lord tolerate my people being massacred like this? Even though we are thousands of miles apart, we will surely retaliate with a large army! Leaping horses, bows, and bloodbath in the Helan Mountains, this is the time!
The story of my birth was heard at that time, and my death was passed down to later generations. During the Northern Expedition to Rakshasa, the hero took advantage of this to become famous; when he wiped out the national humiliation with blood, even an ordinary man could be called a hero. In this life, it is enough to be able to do this!
Woohoo! Huliping is connected to Huma to the north, Bahulu to the south, Heilongjiang to the east, and barbarians to the west. Business travelers are endless, and people flow like rivers. In the wind, rain, morning and dusk, the souls of the dead have company, so they should not be lonely. I sincerely give you Bingyin In the first month of the month (the first lunar month), I received this bad news and felt sad, so I wrote a memorial text to commemorate him. The style of writing is sad, as sad as the sudden wind and rain; the writing is simple, it is difficult to write, and the paper is flying with dust, which is a great sorrow in the new wind!
The rotten Confucian has no power to restrain a chicken, so he can only set up an altar to lay a memorial ceremony for shame, and tell the spirit of the people in Huliping: Woohoo! Good deeds will be rewarded, and evil deeds will be pursued. The laws of nature are cyclical, and there is always a delay. This is The truth is always true. On the day when the king's army is going to attack the Rakshasa in the north, he will tell you in front of his soul. How sad! Shang Xiang."
"Oh, this Li Yindu is putting me on the fire to roast me," Zhu Hengjia muttered to himself after reading Li Yindu's "Essay on Commemorating the Common People of Huli Ping".
Li Yindu was a good friend of Gu Yanwu, a famous Confucian classics master and Confucian scholar. Unlike Gu Yanwu, this man did not like to be an official and was indifferent to fame and fortune. He spent his life in poverty and happiness, diligent in studying, teaching and writing, and wrote about great wealth. He was a famous figure in the Ming Dynasty.
A thinker, educator, phonologist, and poet, he was called one of the "Four Commoners" of China who had no official career.
Although he is not an official, he likes to discuss government affairs and often publishes articles in newspapers to criticize injustices. He advocates the study of "managing the world and applying it".
The purpose is to understand the ancient and modern ways of governing the country, so as to benefit the national economy and the people's livelihood.
After Li Yindu learned about the Kuliping Massacre, he immediately wrote this memorial. Because of its popularity, it immediately spread throughout the Ming Dynasty and even reached the imperial court of Emperor Guangwu.
