Chapter 274 The Stubborn Fighter
The widely circulated Yangming Xinxue has been developed and evolved for decades, integrated and differentiated, forming more than ten major schools in central Zhejiang, Jiangyou and southern Taizhou.
Although we all look at the roots and trace the origins of Guizhou, Longgang as the starting point, and Yangming Gong is the master of sages, but due to the differences in the inheritor's understanding and the gaps in regions, developments vary greatly, even very different.
Especially in the past decade, the civil and military have been playing with each other, the government has been abandoned, the country has accumulated malpractice, and internal and external difficulties have been severe. These cruel reality has made disciples of the Xinxue students more eager to explore the true meaning of Yangming Gong's thoughts, support the inner world like him, and also give a bright world to the Ming Dynasty.
This group emotional anxiety prompted the Wangxue school to transform from a simple academic organization to an organization with political purpose... On the one hand, they all knew that uniting only had strength; but on the other hand, they could not accept completely dissident ideas. Although they were in the opposition and could not defeat aliens, large-scale party alliances were inevitable. Finally, in recent years, two major systems of Jiangnan and Jiangbei have been formed.
Jiangbei was led by Wang Gen's Taizhou School, and was more active and even radical, advocating full control of the court and reforming from top to bottom; Jiangnan was led by Ji Ben's Zhejiang Middle School, advocating full efforts to maintain political stability, unite all forces that can be united, and fighting Japanese/pirates as the top priority.
Compared with the two, the Southern Sect is undoubtedly more conservative, but it would not be surprising if the Southern Sect’s sphere of influence is mainly the coastal areas of Fujian and Zhejiang.
But no matter what, Wang Xue is still in an opposition position and the country is in a difficult situation of internal and external relations, so the cooperation between the two factions is the mainstream. For example, He Xinyin of the Northern faction has been active in the Southern Sect for a long time and has not been regarded as an outsider by Wang Ji and others.
But now, Tan Lun, who came from the Northern School, raised implicit questions to the Southern School behind Shen Mo - your Southern School is deeply rooted in Zhejiang. Should you give an explanation for this happening now?
"What does it mean?" Shen Mo looked at the white smoke in the teacup.
"My words," Tan Lun said softly: "I'm not here to test you. Everything that happened here today will not reach the ears of the third person." After that, he stared in his eyes.
"I really don't know." Shen Mo raised his head and looked back at Tan Lun frankly and said, "You know that in the past six months, I have been busy with the provincial examination first and then getting married, and I am completely away from that pleasure boat."
"I believe you." Tan Lun nodded and said, "But after the incident, didn't you ask those people?"
"I asked." Shen Mo nodded and said, "Xu Wenchang also came to Hangzhou in person and brought me a sentence."
"Can you tell me?" Tan Lun asked softly.
"This is hard to say." Shen Mo nodded again.
"It seems inconvenient." Tan Lun said somewhat disappointed.
"You misunderstood." Shen Mo explained: "I mean, Xu Wei said to me: 'It's hard to say about this."
"Oh... why can't you say?" Tan Lun laughed.
"It's hard to say, it's hard to say." Shen Mo shook his head and said, "What does it mean? You and I have to understand it myself."
After thinking for a while, Tan Lun said in a deep voice: "Can I understand this? Is Nanzong aware of this?"
He nodded silently and said, "I think so."
"Don't think so, too." Tan Lun smiled bitterly: "I'll reveal some inside information."
"You know I'm not a core person, so I don't know much." Chen Shu spread his hands and said, "So everything depends on guessing." Seeing Tan Lun's face showing disappointment, he slowly said, "In fact, you look at that cruise ship too highly. They are just famous scholars. At best, they are spokespersons of the big family in Zhejiang, but not decision makers."
"In other words, even if they know about this, they can't do anything about it." Chen Si sighed: "And in order to protect the family behind him, they must unite together to prevent someone from attracting fire to the big families in Zhejiang. This is my understanding of that sentence."
Hearing the honesty in his words, Tan Lun stood up and bowed: "It makes Brother Zhuyan embarrassed."
Silently waved his hand, and then stood up and said, "I can guess what Master Zhao means, but I don't believe he can succeed..."
Tan Lun frowned and said, "To be honest, I have advised him. Everything is based on the stability of the Southeast. After all, he persuaded him and finally agreed." He shook his head helplessly and said, "But according to the temper of that old master... he may still be stubborn."
"Let him go to trouble," Chen Si sighed: "There will always be someone who will give him a hard time."
"At that time, I hope Brother Zhuyan will come back to protect me." Tan Lun bowed and said, "Zhao Butang is righteous and a rare good official. He is a blessing for the people in the court."
Silent smiled and said, "You look up to me again. How can I have that great ability?"
"Do your best." Tan Lun begged.
Chen Mo nodded slowly and cursed with a smile: "Apart from forcing me, I think you are just picking soft persimmons."
"It's hard for the two wives to be a concubine. If you are considerate, then you will be considerate." Tan Lun bowed again and said, "I can't leave Taizhou for too long. I'll go back later. Let's see you when you get married."
Silently bowed and said, "Brother Zili, take care of yourself."
"Take care." Tan Lun returned the favor and left the inn.
Two days later, Wang Yongji came back and brought the reply from Governor Su Song. Zhao Zhenji opened it and was stunned. He saw that there was no title or signature on it. Instead, he picked a passage from "Liezi. Tang Wen" and said: "The two mountains of the Taihang Wangwu are seven hundred miles in size and ten thousand feet high..." Until 'From then, there was no long break in the south of Ji and the yin of Han.'
"I'm more cunning than the other!" Zhao Zhenji slapped the letter on the table so angry that his beard was raised: "I'm afraid of taking some responsibility and getting involved in some connections, but the story of "Yugong Moving Mountain" is here."
But he was very wise, so he naturally knew what Cao Bangfu was about to say, and he expressed it clearly... Taihang and Wangwu were the Yan Dang and the Jiangsu and Zhejiang dynasties, and Yugong was Zhao Zhenji. Now Zhao Yugong wanted to ask him to move out two mountains together, saying, "I will settle the danger with you, and I will connect to southern Henan and reach Hanyin, is it okay?"
As Zhao Zhenji expected, Governor Cao, who had criticized Zhao Wenhua and had made unsuccessful contributions in this incident, was "multiple and unreliable". But it also pointed out that even if Yugong's spirit of not fearing hardships and perseverance was not afraid of hardships, it would be impossible to succeed without the "the God of Snake Fighting to the Emperor, and the Emperor would be sincere" to send the gods to help him.
The meaning is very obvious. I am very interested in your proposal, but if I am not sure, I will not take action.
Zhao Zhenji knew very well that it would be impossible to win Li Mo's support without Cao Bangfu joining, and if Li Mo did not support him, there would be no hope to defeat the Yan Party here.
He suddenly became resentful. His teacher was obviously the second-level assistant in the cabinet and the close minister of the emperor who was the first-rank official. Why couldn't he become tough and support the people below them? If that were the case, would he still have to win over Cao Bangfu and curry favor with Li Shiyan?
Zhao Zhenji also knew that what he wanted to do was no different from that Yugong moving mountains. But he was unshakable because he saw with his own eyes that the lives of the people were really miserable... The Nati Profile method seemed reasonable, but in fact, it was like any past innovation. No matter how much burden it put on the rich, they would eventually transfer it to the poor.
Moreover, the highest commander became the leader of corruption. When the ups and downs were effective, the officials below also reached out to get a share of the pie. In this game of the strong, the lower-level people were always the ones who were fish. After exploiting them, they had already been completely covered with blood and said, "Why not be able to die if they follow the enemy and live happily?"
So much so that there have been large-scale communication between Japanese and Japanese, and even in some places, Japanese and pirates are more popular than the official army... Because in order to obtain intelligence and ensure the retreat, Japanese and pirates often release grain and rice to poor people after robbing large households. Although this is not a common phenomenon, it is enough to highlight the corruption of the government's reputation. If thunder means are not used, there will be no cure!
Zhao Zhenji glanced at the vertical shaft pressing on the table, which read the eight-character oath he made: "Go ahead when you see the difficulties, don't avoid difficulties." Now is the time to fulfill his promise.
‘Since you don’t want to eat toast, then take the bar.’ He raised his eyes from the table, sat up straight and said in a deep voice to the door: “Come.”
The only two followers, the old servant and the guard came in and saluted together, "What are the instructions of the Lord?"
"Zhao An, Zhao Quan, you two returned to Nanjing, with the order of my official, and transferred all the officials of the Ministry of War and their direct troops to come over." Zhao Zhenji said coldly: "Equip the thousand latest muskets that have been newly entered the warehouse, and use the imperial envoy flags, and drive me into Hangzhou City in a mighty way!"
The guard Zhao Quan said excitedly: "That's great! Everyone dares to show us a look. I've been so frustrated these days! Now it's our turn to give them some colors!"
The old servant Zhao An said worriedly: "Sir, there will be no trouble like this, right?"
