Ming Zuo

Chapter 313 The situation in Liaodong

The vigorous literary debate is over.

As a result, it swept across the south of the Yangtze River at the fastest speed, and soon spread to all parts of the world.

Its impact should explode soon.

Zuo Menggeng, Liu Zongzhou, Huang Zongxi and others did not show any joy.

Because they understand that the victory of this debate is just the beginning.

Confucianism has controlled the thoughts and public opinion of the world for thousands of years, and it has long been deeply rooted, and there is no shortage of people who wave the flag for it.

It can even be said that among these people, Zhang Cai and Fushe are relatively progressive.

When those rotten Confucians see Liu Zongzhou's "practical studies", they will definitely be furious, and then jump out to criticize him.

This is an argument that cannot be avoided, and once won.

As the so-called morality lies, it is imperative.

Only through such debates can the truth be better conveyed.

From this aspect, Zuo Menggeng actually welcomes this kind of debate.

On the same day, the trip to Nanjing ended, everyone left the Qinhuai River, returned to the fleet, and set off to return north.

As for the East Garden that Wang Siyi won, Xu Yinjue pretended to be dead, but Zuo Menggeng and others did not ask for it.

It's not that I don't want to come, nor is I afraid that Xu Yinjue will renege on his debt.

The garden is dead and will remain there forever.

When I go to the south of the Yangtze River in the future, it is not certain who the owner of the garden is.

When the fleet was about to sail into the Yangtze River, a small boat quickly chased after it.

"Brother Nian Taigong and Taichong, there are still many things that I don't understand, I implore you to follow the sages and listen to the holy way, please agree."

Chen Zilong climbed onto the boat, saluted solemnly, and explained his purpose.

If Liu Zongzhou's lectures only opened a window for him when he was in Songjiang Mansion, then the result of the debate in Nanjing City finally made Chen Zilong firm in his determination.

He suddenly discovered that the like-minded Fushe friends in the past had such a lack of knowledge and knowledge.

That being the case, in order to make more progress on the road of Taoism, why not ask better people for advice?

Chen Zilong didn't care about breaking up with Fushe friends because of this.

He only seeks the Tao with all his heart. If his friends alienate him because of this, it is because of different ways and not seeking each other.

Huang Zongxi liked this high-spirited peer very much, and asked: "Among people, can the family business in Jiangnan be willing?"

Chen Zilong patted his chest.

"My father is an official far away in the capital, so he doesn't need to serve. Although my younger brother has a wife, the might of the Lion Roaring in the River East... hey..."

Chen Zilong got married three years ago, and his wife is the daughter of Zhang Guiduan, the magistrate of Shaoyang County, Baoqing Prefecture, Huguang.

This is not a good stubble.

The love between Chen Zilong and Liu Rushi was messed up by her.

It wasn't until later that he couldn't give birth to a son to inherit the incense, so he had to endure Chen Zilong's taking a concubine.

Chen Zilong took three concubines in a row, and finally the last concubine, Shen Shi, gave birth to his son Chen Yi.

Today's Chen Zilong has not been married for a long time, but it can be seen that there is already a problem with Zhang's relationship.

I am afraid that if you want to follow Liu Zongzhou and Huang Zongxi to study, you may not be concerned about avoiding family affairs.

Chen Zilong was a face-saving person, he didn't want to talk too much about family affairs, so he hurriedly said: "By the way, Yi Zhong is of the same heart with my younger brother, and also wants to follow Nian Taigong. It's just that his wife is about to give birth, and it's not good for her behavior, so Yi Zhong has to go home Take care. Yi Zhong said that after his wife's childbirth is over, he will take the whole family to the north, and he also hopes that Taigong will teach without discrimination."

No one knew that Xia Yunyi, the child who was about to speak out, was the famous Xia Wanchun.

However, everyone still admires Xia Yunyi's talent and character.

Such a talent will come to defect, which is enough to prove that they are exactly where the hope lies.

When the fleet arrived in Yangzhou, people from the intelligence department rushed forward and sent two pieces of information.

"Come here, the minister said that these two pieces of information are very important."

Zuo Menggeng opened it and saw that the two pieces of information actually came from Liaodong.

One is from the imperial court and the other is from Houjin.

In terms of Houjin, Huang Taiji began to take action on the situation of the Eighth National Baylor's discussion of politics.

He overwhelmed public opinion and established six departments.

The reason given was to protest against the Daming Tribunal, so it was necessary to catch up in the ritual system.

Now that the six departments have been established, Huang Taiji's ambition to become emperor is clearly revealed.

However, the focus of the Intelligence Department's attention was not on Huang Taiji's ambitions, but on the selection of the six ministers.

Zuo Menggeng took a closer look, good guys, they are all the younger generation of Hou Jin.

The change of Jisi made Huang Taiji come into contact with the political system of the Ming Dynasty for the first time, and he was very envious.After returning to Liaodong, he actively asked Ning Wan and me for advice.

In the end, under Ning Wanwo's suggestion, adhering to the principle of "referring to the Han and disposing of the money", Huang Taiji set up six departments.

The division of functions of the six ministries is basically the same as that of Ming Dynasty.And the person in charge of the six departments is Hou Jinbaile.

But Chief Baylor doesn't care about practical affairs, and the real executor of the Six Departments is Chengzheng.

Chengzheng was appointed by Huang Taiji, and he only obeyed his orders, and did not accept the management of Baylor, the headquarters.

This move actually emptied Baylor's real power in the six departments, and brought Huang Taiji one step closer to the direction of the emperor's centralization of power.

The Chengzheng appointed by Huang Taiji are all from the younger generation of the late Jin Dynasty.The original Baylor, power is declining.

Seeing this, Zuo Menggeng somewhat understood what the Ministry of Intelligence meant.

After thinking about it, he drew a circle on Mangurtai's name, and handed it to the intelligence personnel to take it back.

Another piece of information caught Zuo Menggeng's attention.

Since taking office in Liaodong in January, Sun Chengzong actively prepared and surrendered Zu Dashou at the same time.

Having completed the initial deployment, Sun Chengzong began his strategy.

However, when it came to the court, Sun Chengzong's plan was revised.

Sun Chengzong's original intention was to strengthen the defense of Jinzhou's front line, and then the imperial court would provide military expenses, and after training elite soldiers, he would try to make progress.

But when this plan was reported, Chongzhen, who was eager for quick success, was obviously very dissatisfied.

Zhou Yanru, the chief assistant of the cabinet, understood Chongzhen's thoughts, and he began to act recklessly as he was bent on seeking the holy family.

Speaking of the Battle of Dalinghe in later generations, there were many voices criticizing Sun Chengzong.Some people even use this to comment that Sun Chengzong has a good name and is the culprit that caused the deterioration of the situation in Liaodong.

But as long as you study the historical data carefully, you will find that Sun Chengzong was actually a bit innocent in the Dalinghe battle.

First of all, it may not be Sun Chengzong's idea to build Daling City.

The beginning of the Battle of Daling River originated from the policy of Sun Yuanhua and Governor of Liaodong Qiu Hejia.

Sun Yuanhua's opinion is to withdraw the troops on each island, move them to Shanhaiguan, and take back Guangning, Jinzhou, Haizhou, and Gaizhou.

According to the records in the historical materials, this strategy is very rough and seems to be confusing.

It's easier to understand if you describe it as retracting your fist and punching it out.

Qiu Hejia, the governor of Eastern Liaodong, suggested using soldiers from the islands to recover the three cities of Guangning, Yizhou, and Youtun.

The two governors disagreed, and Liang Tingdong, Minister of the Ministry of War, could not make up his mind, so he naturally had to consult Sun Chengzong.

What did Sun Chengzong say?
According to historical records, Sun Chengzong said: Youtun City has been destroyed, and it can be defended after it is built.Build it, and the enemy will come.The large and small Linghe must be restored to connect Song, Xing, and Jinzhou.Jinzhou is surrounded by the sea and the enemy is difficult to transport by land.After Youtun is the sea, according to this, food can be provided, soldiers can gather, and then it can be the starting point.

People who study history in later generations often use this passage to conclude that it was Sun Chengzong's intention to build Youtun and the large and small Linghe cities.

However, if we make a detailed analysis of this passage of Sun Chengzong, it is as follows:

First, Guangning and Uiju will not be repaired for the time being;

Second, the right village is important, it is closer to the sea, and it is convenient to transport grain, so it should be built first.But if you build the Right Tun, the enemy will come to fight.

Third, in order to protect Youtun, Xiaolinghe City and Dalinghe City should be built to become its horns.

Fourth, Dalinghe City, Xiaolinghe City, Youtunwei City, Jinzhou City, and Songshan, Xingshan, and Ningyuan are connected in series to strengthen the defense system of Ningjin.

When the boss proposes a task that is difficult and almost impossible to succeed, as a subordinate, he does not want to do it. How can he stop it?
Don't these conditions that Sun Chengzong said make people smile?
It's a pity that this is a matter of life and death, and it cannot be laughed at.

Sun Chengzong met a boss who was self-willed, and his methods did not succeed.

[Tingdong insisted on it, so there was a proposal to build a city on the Daling River. 】

Therefore, the resolution to build Dalinghe City was passed in the imperial court.

Was this really Liang Tingdong's idea?
There is another historical material that can prove Sun Chengzong's innocence.

After the Battle of Dalinghe, Bingke gave a memorial to Sun Sanjie during the incident.

[Yan Ru, according to Kuilu, wants to use his personal Sun Yuanhua and Qiu Hejia without skills, but it is Liang Tingdong's theory of employing people out of the box, thinking that he is the first capital.Knowing that Yuanhua and Hejia have no merits, but pretending to be a yue is not enough to convince people, so it is set as the restoration of Guangning, and it is a discussion of Jin, Fu, Hai, and Gai.Since nothing was accomplished, fearing severe punishment, the secret master Daling built the building to stop the punishment.Bong the elite of the whole country, pay for it.The third dismissed Shushu to assist Sun Chengzong to settle the case, and Qiu Hejia suddenly Yanshan, Yong, and suddenly Yan Jingqing!How amazing is the detachment effect of Yanru! 】

This memorandum points directly to the responsibilities of Zhou Yanru, Liang Tingdong, Sun Yuanhua, Qiu Hejia and others.

Even from this memorial, we can see why Sun Yuanhua was executed by Chongzhen.

I'm afraid it's not as simple as the rebellion in Dongjiang town he recruited. Sun Yuanhua's actions in the battle of Dalinghe should also be a crime.
