The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 282 Zhang Huangyan! (seeking a reward)
The middle-aged man's surname was Zhang, his first name was Huangyan, his style name was Xuanzhu, and his nickname was Cangshui. He was a famous Confucian general, poet, and national hero in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties.

During the Chongzhen period, he was appointed as an official to the Minister of the Ministry of War of the Southern Ming Dynasty.

After Nanjing fell in the second year of Shunzhi, he joined forces with Qian Sule and others to fight against the Qing Dynasty.

Later, Zhu Yihai, king of Lu, contacted thirteen peasant armies, and cooperated with Zheng Chenggong and Li Changxiang, personally led the troops to more than 20 cities in Anhui, and persisted in the struggle against the Qing Dynasty for nearly [-] years.

Until the third year of Kangxi in the puppet Qing Dynasty, with the successive deaths of Emperor Yongli, King Jianguo Lu, Zheng Chenggong and others, Zhang Huangyan saw that the situation was over, so he disbanded the rebel army on Xuan'ao Island in Nantian and lived in seclusion.

He was captured that year and was later killed in Hangzhou!
Originally, Zhang Huangyan had already despaired of anti-Qing affairs, led the remnants of the rebel army to flee overseas, and even had the idea of ​​disbanding the rebel army.

However, following Zhu Hongyu's consecutive victories in Tanzhou Town and Suixi River in Guangzhou!
Annihilated nearly 2 people in the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty and Han Army!

The world shakes!

As a result, the reputation of Zhu Hongyu, the Great Ming Supervisor, spread all over the world!
Let people all over the world who are determined to fight against the Qing Dynasty remember that Daming still has such a war-fighting supervisor, and such an army that can only fight and dare to fight!

When Zhang Huangyan heard the news, his despairing heart was filled with hope again. Daming could still be saved!
He brought a team of personal guards and came to Luzon in person, just to meet this wise and mighty His Royal Highness Jian Guo.

Just when Zhang Huangyan looked at the achievements of the Liberation Army, his face showed excitement, and he fell into deep thought.

Zhang Huangyan's attention was attracted by the conversation between the two young men at the next table.

A fat scholar said.

"Brother Li, have you heard? His Highness Jianguo is going to summon the world's famous scholars and Confucians to transform the old Neo-Confucianism, extract its essence and discard its dross, and create a new Confucianism!"

Another tall and thin scholar nodded and said.

"Such a big event, how could I not have heard of it!"

"Besides, hasn't this matter been published in the newspaper? His Highness Jian Guo publicly summoned the world's famous Confucian scholars to participate in the compilation process of New Confucianism!"

"It is estimated that this matter has not escaped!"

The fat man patted the table and said.

"Change it!"

"His Royal Highness Jian Guo's words in the newspaper are correct. Since the rise of Neo-Confucianism in the Song Dynasty, the Mongolian Yuan once, and the captives once cleared, our Han family has already perished!"

"If this Neo Confucianism remains unchanged, what else is there to do?"

"No matter how good the knowledge of Cheng Zhu Ersheng is, it's useless if he can't keep the country!"

Listening to the conversation between the two scholars, Zhang Huangyan subconsciously wanted to reprimand them for treason.

How dare to discuss Zhu Ersheng's knowledge?

But after thinking about it carefully, I found that this matter is really irrefutable!
It is a fact that Neo Confucianism has perished in both worlds!
An irrefutable fact!
Zhang Huangyan felt in a trance that Neo Confucianism should really be changed!

Due to the exchange of Eastern and Western cultures, as well as the relaxed social environment and atmosphere of public opinion, the social atmosphere in the late Ming Dynasty was actually relatively open.

It's not like Manchu!
Because of the literary inquisition and the persecution of scholars all over the world by compiling the Siku Quanshu.

This made Neo Confucianism completely corrupt, and scholars were completely brainwashed into slaves of the Qing court, with rigid thinking and no innovative thinking.

Make China completely lag behind the West!
But at the end of the Ming Dynasty, although Neo Confucianism occupied the position of academic orthodoxy, it was not without deviant people who dared to shoot at Neo Confucianism!
The most typical example is this guy Li Zhi!
Extremely deviant, many times he fired at Neo Confucianism in public.

In the feudal society, men are superior to women, emphasizing agriculture and suppressing business, false morality, social corruption, and corrupt officials. He denounces and criticizes, advocates "removing the old and reforming the new", and opposes ideological imprisonment.

Although in the end this guy was quite miserable, he was falsely imprisoned, and committed suicide.

But in its most glorious years, it was sought after by many people.

When lecturing in Macheng, there were thousands of fanatical followers, and there were even women among them.

In any case, the Ming court never targeted him academically and wanted to punish him.

He was framed and imprisoned because of other things!
If it was in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, based on Li Zhi's outrageous things, I am afraid that all the nine clans would have to go to the execution ground!
In the relaxed academic atmosphere at the end of the Ming Dynasty, a large number of Confucian scholars such as Gu Yanwu, Huang Zongxi, and Zhu Shunshui emerged.

They are not interested in science!
Therefore, when Zhu Hongyu wants to reform Confucianism and create new Confucianism, the resistance is not as great as imagined.

Zhang Huangyan grew up in such a relaxed academic atmosphere in the late Ming Dynasty, so he must have his own thinking about the stubborn and conservative Neo-Confucianism.

Now that he heard that Zhu Hongyu wanted to change Neo Confucianism, his first reaction was treason, and when he came back to his senses, he felt that he really should change it!

Just as Zhang Huangyan was sitting in his original position in a daze, many scholars in Confucian shirts had already gathered around the two scholars.

Discussions are in full swing that the imperial court wants to reform Confucianism and create new Confucianism!
Many people have their own opinions on this matter!

Looking at the lively discussions of a group of young people over there, Zhang Huangyan felt the vitality that he hadn't seen for a long time.

It is these young people with progressive thinking that can drive the development of the country, and it is the future of a country and a nation!
Throughout Luzon, everything he saw and heard was full of hope and the vitality that a new regime should have.

More importantly, it is that high-spirited spirit!

Zhang Huangyan looked at the group of young people discussing with a smile on his face, full of enthusiasm in his heart.

"Perhaps this is what young people should look like!"

After drinking the dirty wine in the glass, Zhang Huangyan got up from his seat, and walked out of the restaurant with his guards.

The guard asked.

"My lord, where are we going next?"

There was no one around, so the name of the guards was naturally the Department Hall.

Zhang Huangyan took a deep breath and spoke.

"Go to the Jianguo Mansion and hand over the greeting card!"

"I want to see His Highness Jian Guo!"

Zhang Huangyan became more and more curious about what kind of person this His Highness Jian Guo is!
……

Zhu Hongyu is reviewing documents. Recently, he has been buried in a large pile of documents every day.

He left Luzon to go out to fight for almost a whole year!

Although the government affairs of the past year have been handled by the cabinet, but now that he is back, he has to go through all of them roughly.

Always be aware of it!

In the past few days, apart from exercising separately and even with Li Lingxiu, Kaya, Zheng Xuan, Wenwen and other women to have children at night, he has been dealing with government affairs.

Zhu Hongyu put down the brush, because there was a knock on the door.

Zhu Hongyu said.

"come in!"

As his words fell, Zheng Jing pushed the door and walked in, saluted respectfully and then spoke.

"Your Highness, Zhang Huangyan from Zhoushan has sent a greeting card, and he is asking to see you outside the residence!"

Zhu Hongyu raised his eyebrows and asked.

"Are you sure it's me?"

Zheng Jing said.

"During my father's Northern Expedition to Nanjing, I was with the army, and I met Zhang Butang in the army!"

"It should be me!"

Zhu Hongyu nodded slightly and said.

"Bring people in!"

"Take people to the living room, and order the people below to prepare tea and pastries for reception!"

Zheng Jing embraced the order.

"promise!"
