"Convergence Digest" is a daily classic, not seen or scattered.
"The house of accumulation of goodness, there will be YuQing" canonized the "Zhou Yi Kun Wenyan", which means the house of accumulation of virtue and good deeds, and the grace and grace of the descendants.
In short, good is rewarded with good and evil, and if the time is not yet coming! It sounds quite "mystical", so in the modern society where interests are paramount, more and more people are leaving it behind and doing whatever it takes to gain.
However, this famous saying that has been circulated for thousands of years can definitely be called "truth", and even "law"! Only by acting according to the law can we go along with people's wishes. If you don't believe it, let's take a look at the story of the Qiao family compound, when the Japanese army burned and plundered in North China, only the Qiao family, which was rich and invincible, do you know why? To this end, experts also said, you see what is put in front of Joe's door!
Tactics to invade China
At the beginning of the twentieth century, Japan was affected by the financial crisis, the domestic economy withered, almost collapsed, at a critical juncture, the Japanese militarists seized power and decided to divert the domestic crisis through the war of aggression, in 1927, Japanese Prime Minister Yoshiichi Tanaka played "Tanaka Sonata" to the Emperor, clearly proposing that "if you want to conquer Indochina, you must first conquer Manchuria; if you want to conquer the world, you must first conquer Indochina."
Japan's small island country, the ambition is not small, delusional to dominate the world, but Japan's own lack of resources, it is difficult to support a long-term war of aggression, so Tanaka Yoshiichi formulated a war strategy of "feeding war with war", first invading China, plundering enough resources and then expanding to the whole world!
Rich can be enemy of the country
The Hundred Regiments War launched by our army caused huge losses to Japan, and Ninji Okamura, then commander-in-chief of the invasion of China, became angry and embarrassed, changed the strategy of invading China, and deepened the "war to feed the war with war" into the "three-light policy." Everywhere he went, he "killed, burned, and robbed the light"! According to the "History of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression", "in the two years from 1941 to 1942, the Japanese army swept the Liberated Areas of North China with more than 1,000 people 174 times."
In this context, the Qiao family compound located in North China can be undamaged in the "Three Lights Policy", which is a miracle, to know that the Qiao family is rich and enemy of the country, it is reasonable to say that the Japanese army will never let go of this "big fat meat".
So how rich is the Joe family?
According to historical records, the Qiao family was the most prosperous in the fourth generation of Qiao Zhiyong period, when the Qiao family had more than 200 shops, money houses, pawnshops, grain stores, etc., and the business involved the whole country, with total assets of tens of millions of silver. It is definitely worthy of the title of "rich and invincible country"! Even when Empress Dowager Cixi escaped from the Forbidden City, she had to borrow money from the Qiao family, and the Qiao family casually took out 100,000 white eyes without blinking an eye!
The house of good deeds will be celebrated
When Japan invaded China, although the heyday of the Qiao family had passed, the treasure hidden in the Qiao family compound was still an astronomical number, and the reason why Japan endured to give up this piece of "fat meat" stemmed from the Italian flag hanging at the entrance of the Qiao family compound, when Japan and Italy were both Axis countries and were allies of each other, and the Japanese army naturally wanted to give Italy a face, so how did this Italian flag come from?
After the Eight-Power Alliance invaded China, people's sentiments surged and the people set off a wave of "blind xenophobia", and non-governmental organizations such as the Boxers demolished churches and massacred foreign missionaries. At that time, there were seven Italian nuns who were hunted down and killed by the so-called "patriots", and when they were cornered, they fled into the Qiao family compound, and the Qiao family was afraid of causing fire and suggested that the nuns be sent away, but Qiao Zhiyong insisted on leaving the nuns behind, at that time, although Qiao Zhiyong was old, his prestige was unshakable, at his insistence, the Qiao family hid the seven nuns, and after the pursuer left, Qiao Zhiyong sent someone to secretly send the seven nuns back to Italy.
After the seven nuns returned to Italy, they informed the Italian government of their escape experience, and the Italian government, in order to thank Qiao Zhiyong for his good deeds, specially gave the Qiao family compound an Italian flag, which is the origin of the Qiao family's Italian flag!
When the Japanese army swept through North China, the Qiao family was nostalgic for their homeland, unwilling to leave the compound where they had lived for generations, and vowed to coexist and die with the Qiao family compound! At the critical moment, some people remembered the Italian flag, out of luck, hung it in front of the gate of the Qiao family, but did not expect that this move was crooked, not only saving the Qiao family, but also saving the Qiao family compound from being damaged by the war.
Qiao Zhiyong certainly did not expect that the seven Italian nuns he had saved for a while would bring such blessings to future generations!
"The house of good will have a remnant, and the house of evil will have a remnant"! This is not an empty phrase, but a valuable experience left to us by our ancestors. In this society where interests are paramount, we must remember this sentence and always remind ourselves that we must not obscure our conscience in doing anything! As Mencius said, "Look up to the heavens, bow down to the earth, walk without shame, and stop without shame."
