At the beginning, Qin Shi Huang traveled to my home

Chapter 222 Hair-shaving Order

Song Yingxing was silent for a long time. Zu Chongzhi patted his hands to comfort him silently.

Zu Chongzhi still had some good feelings towards the Ming Dynasty. When the immortal said that the Ming Dynasty would not marry off princesses, pay taxes, cede territory or pay compensation, there was no one who did not have a good impression of the Ming Dynasty.

Wang Zhenyi opened her mouth, but swallowed the words back. She wanted to say something to comfort him, but after thinking it over, she didn't say anything.

She was afraid that after she comforted Senior Song Yingxing, he would not be able to accept it because she was from the Qing Dynasty.

Barrage

Zhu Yuanzhang, the first emperor of the Ming Dynasty: My Ming Dynasty is about to perish, Qing, Qing, good, good, I will destroy your ancestors first!!!

Ming Chengzu Zhu Di: The Qing Dynasty, don’t even think about existing in the future!

The previous emperor of the Ming Dynasty had already sent people to find the ancestors of the Qing Dynasty and directly had them exterminated.

The Jurchens had no idea how they had offended those crazy people in the Ming Dynasty. They hadn't done anything.

They were very honest and they really didn't do anything. Then, suddenly one day, the Ming army rushed over, without even asking a word, and just started chopping people, more efficiently than chopping watermelons.

The Jurchens felt wronged as their clan was exterminated just like that.

How could the Jurchens know that these consequences were entirely caused by their descendants.

"And you, Senior Song Yingxing, also began to live in seclusion, refusing to take up an official post, and devoted yourself to writing your various scientific works. In your later years, you lived a very poor life, because it was already the Qing Dynasty.

When you left this world at around 80 years old, you left your life experiences and lessons to your descendants as the 'Song Family Instructions' before your death. They were: first, do not take the imperial examinations; second, do not become an official. Instead, stay in your hometown and farm the land, passing on the family tradition of scholarship.

Of course, not taking the imperial examinations and not being an official is not because you don't want to. But Senior Song Yingxing, you hate the Qing Dynasty, which destroyed the Ming Dynasty, so it is impossible for you to be an official for the enemy, and you don't want your descendants to be officials for the enemy. "

So this is very easy to understand. For the people of the Ming Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty was their enemy, an enemy that they could never forget.

Not to mention that Song Yingxing witnessed the demise of the Ming Dynasty and the crimes committed by the Qing Dynasty on Ming territory with his own eyes.

How could he dare to forget this? How could he forget this?

After hearing this, Song Yingxing burst into tears and quickly covered his face to wipe his tears, which made people feel distressed.

"Senior Song Yingxing, are you okay?" Xiao Li Wu stretched his neck to look at Song Yingxing. Although his face could not be seen because it was blocked by him, it could be seen that he was very sad.

"Little immortal, I'm fine," Song Yingxing put his hand down, his eyes red, it was not difficult to see that the other party had cried a little.

But other people did not laugh at him. This is a normal thing. Those who are not sad after hearing that their country has been destroyed are the ones who are truly heartless and terrible.

The Ming Taizu and others also praised Song Yingxing as a good minister of the Ming Dynasty.

"That's good. I think everyone in the Ming Dynasty knows about the future development of the Ming Dynasty, so they will naturally make changes. After all, the Ming Dynasty fell and the Qing Dynasty entered the country. The Qing Dynasty is a foreign race. Although they are one family with us Chinese now, they were not like that at that time. They were enemies at that time.

So, the ministers during the reign of Emperor Chongzhen, if you want to be the ministers who ruined your country, just be greedy, because you can’t take anything with you to the underworld after you die anyway," Xiao Liwu sneered.

Emperor Chongzhen was so poor that even a mouse would run away in tears if it entered the warehouse. His dragon robe was patched up. Which emperor was like Chongzhen?

The dragon robes were all tattered, but the officials under him were more corrupt than each other.

Take the father-in-law of Emperor Chongzhen for example. At that time, Emperor Chongzhen begged him for a lot of money but the emperor only donated 53 taels of silver to him. In the end, he handed over taels of silver and dozens of carts of rare treasures to Dashun, that is, Li Zicheng. You can imagine how greedy that guy was.

Moreover, after the Ming Dynasty was destroyed, Li Zicheng found 70 million taels of silver in the homes of those ministers. 70 million taels, not 7 million or 700,000, but 70 million taels. Who would dare to believe this? How greedy were those ministers? They took all the money from the people.

If Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty knew about this, all these people would be skinned alive.

The ministers during the reign of Emperor Chongzhen looked at each other in bewilderment; no one dared to speak. They all knew that they had embezzled a lot, but who was willing to give the money away?

No one wants to be the first to stick their neck out, and now they don’t even care whether the country will be destroyed or not.

Emperor Chongzhen had no way to deal with them and could only ask for help from his ancestors.

Everyone suggested that he just confiscate the house.

"Little immortal, they won't listen to you. Once they have the money, how can they be willing to give it away?" Wang Zhenyi said disdainfully. There were many corrupt officials in the late Ming Dynasty.

Zu Chongzhi and Song Yingxing also nodded, saying that it was indeed the case.

Little Li Wu wrinkled his face, "Then, just confiscate the house?"

Since the soft approach doesn’t work, let’s just use the hard approach.

The ministers were trembling with fear, feeling that they were doomed. If their property was confiscated, the entire family would be executed. They knew exactly how much they had embezzled.

So the ministers of the Ming Dynasty began to confess and "donate" money to the emperor one by one.

"I have almost finished talking about your deeds, Senior Song Yingxing. You are most famous for your book, The Exploitation of the Works of Nature. I have mentioned it so many times, I think everyone will not forget it.

"But I saw something online that said Senior Song Yingxing shaved his head in his old age. This seems impossible to me. Not to mention that the hair style did not fit the era, how could you, Senior Song Yingxing, shave your head when you hated the Qing Dynasty so much?" said Xiao Li Wu. She thought it was impossible. How could Senior Song Yingxing shave his head?

"What, shave your head? What does the immortal mean?" Song Yingxing stood up excitedly and touched his head. "The immortal is saying, shave all your hair?"

These words made Zu Chongzhi's eyes widen and he touched his hair. This was such treason!

Many people in front of the sky curtain were terrified. Why did they have to shave their heads? What was wrong with the Qing Dynasty?

As expected of a foreign race, there is indeed something wrong with them.

Moreover, many students had already started cursing, saying things like "our hair and bodies were given to us by our parents, so how can we shave them?"

Not only Confucian scholars, but even ordinary people would not easily get their heads shaved.

Wang Zhenyi whispered, "Men living in the Qing Dynasty must shave their heads."

Two pairs of eyes looked at Wang Zhenyi, and they remembered that this Wang Zhenyi was indeed a person from the Qing Dynasty.

But I won't vent my anger on her.

"Yes, yes, in 1644, after the Qing Dynasty entered the country, in order to consolidate its rule over the country, it issued an order to shave the hair, requiring everyone in the country to change to the Manchu hairstyle.

In 1645, Dorgon issued another order to shave the hair, requiring all officials and civilians in the country, both inside and outside the capital, to shave their hair within ten days, and also issued an order to change clothes.

When these policies came out, they caused dissatisfaction among many people, and about 10 million people died as a result.”
