After Ming Dynasty

Chapter 77
Gu Yanwu asked Zhu Yiyuan, but Zhu Yiyuan smiled back and asked, "Sir, do you have the courage to wash your stomach and change your body?"

"This..." Gu Yanwu paused for a moment, then said helplessly, "I am not a top-notch Jinshi, nor have I ever been a high-ranking official. Even if I have courage, I am nothing more than an ordinary man."

"Everyone?" Zhu Yiyuan said with a calm smile, "At this time when China is in decline and China is broken, isn't it a matter of course that everyone is responsible?"

Gu Yanwu's whole body trembled violently. Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world. These eight words really touched his heart and hit his bones.

"Zhu Qian's matter, since I said so, I am duty-bound. I am willing to obey the orders."

This made Ye Tingxiu stunned, Brother Ning, did you vote like this?
We came here at the order of Emperor Longwu, and now you have taken refuge in Zhu Yiyuan, what is this?

Zhu Yiyuan smiled, "Mr. Ning Ren, although I don't want to take over the banner of Ming Dynasty, in our army, we still honor the Emperor Taizu, and the banner is also to expel the barbarians and restore China."

Gu Yanwu's eyes lit up. Obviously, Emperor Taizu was different and could touch his soul.

But Ye Tingxiu snorted, "You don't even want to admit Daming, and you play the banner of Taizu, you are deceiving yourself and others, right?"

Zhu Yiyuan shook his head with a smile, "That's wrong. The Emperor Taizu is an outstanding person through the ages, and he is on par with Emperor Qin and Hanwu. The Great Qin was built by the First Emperor, but why is it that the First Emperor's contribution lies in the Great Qin? In the same way, my Taizu of the Ming Dynasty The emperor, who was born in commoner clothes, chased the Great Yuan to the north, and restored the Han family. After a thousand years, he will still be glorious forever. He is a hero in the Central Plains, and everyone looks up to him. Not to mention the emperor of Fuzhou, even if he is the emperor of all generations after Chengzu, who would dare Speaking of inheriting Taizu's behest? Who can be worthy of Taizu's love for the people?"

Facing these words, Ye Tingxiu was dumbfounded.

Ming scholars have a special kind of pride.

Scholars in the Song and Song Dynasties were all keen on debating the scriptures, but they can be placed on the scholars of the Ming Dynasty, and they prefer to study bamboo... After all, after three generations, there is no better than the Ming Dynasty to achieve the righteousness of the country!
In particular, Hongwu Yongle, the two generations of emperors, created a prosperous age comparable to that of the Han and Tang Dynasties.

It is only natural for Zhu Yiyuan to compare Lao Zhu with the emperors and sages of the Ming Dynasty.

It's just that more than 200 years have passed, the descendants are unworthy, and the family has fallen.

Up to now, the Eight Banners invaded the Central Plains, the two capitals fell, and the mountains and rivers were broken.

Even against his will, he said that Daming is good and has no flaws. No scholar can open his mouth and tell such a lie.

In fact, people such as Gu Yanwu, Huang Zongxi, Wang Fuzhi, etc., they reflected on the Ming Dynasty and discussed the gains and losses very deeply, and even came to the shocking conclusion that the monarch is a great harm to the world.

Zhu Yiyuan's words are really not too much.

It could even be called drizzle.

It's just that Zhu Yiyuan came up with his own plan.

"Zhu Qian, how are you going to inherit the will of Taizu, can you tell me a little bit?" Gu Yanwu bowed and asked for advice.

Zhu Yiyuan smiled and said: "I think the essence of Emperor Taizu has two points. First, it is to expel the barbarians and restore the courage of the Chinese. If it falls on my generation, it is to drive out the Eight Banners soldiers and regain the world. Second, it is the Taizu. The ancestors, the emperors, were diligent in governing and caring for the people. At present, it is the idea of ​​equalizing the land, abolishing slaves and eliminating lowly status."

Gu Yanwu listened carefully, chewing and thinking, and then said: "The Taizu built high walls, accumulated grain widely, counted people and granted land, and gave people a livelihood. Zhu Qian did this, is it over?"

Zhu Yiyuan laughed loudly, "Emperor Taizu was faced with the century-old rule of the Great Yuan Dynasty, and the southerners were reduced to servants and maidservants, not as good as cattle and horses. Emperor Taizu cleaned up the evils and restored his homeland, and he worked hard all his life. It is true that his old man is There are some problems left over, that is, the buttocks are not wiped clean. May I ask Mr. Ning Ren, it has been more than 200 years, and generations of Confucian scholars have written a lot of moral articles. Up to now, you still think that you should keep your humble status and keep slaves? "

Zhu Yiyuan said disdainfully: "The emperor of the Qing Dynasty regarded the Manchus and Eight Banners as slaves. As for Han officials, they are even worse than slaves. As wise as Mr. Ningren, you said that being a slave to the Qing Dynasty is the same as being a slave to the gentry and wealthy families of the Ming Dynasty. , is there any difference?"

Gu Yanwu was at a loss for words again, and after a while, he cupped his hands and said, "I really admire Zhu Qian's high opinion, but I just want everyone to understand this matter, I'm afraid it won't be easy."

Zhu Yiyuan nodded, "It's really not easy, it depends on whether Mr. Ning Ren is willing to join in the grand event?"

Gu Yanwu thought about it for a while, then turned his head to look at Ye Tingxiu, and said with a wry smile, "Zhu Qian convinced me with some high-level arguments. Since they are all fighting against the Qing Dynasty and restoring the country, I don't think there is a need to distinguish them too much. Is this the truth?"

Ye Tingxiu grinned wryly, "Brother Ning, you are so good, but as His Majesty's Minister of War, if I abandon my post and join you, I will be too disappointed in His Majesty's painstaking efforts."

Zhu Yiyuan immediately smiled and said: "Uncle, I said, our two families can cooperate, you just need to act as a contact person, I will never force Uncle."

Ye Tingxiu sighed heavily, "Forget it, since it's here, it's safe. I want to see what tricks you can play."

Zhu Yiyuan secretly heaved a sigh of relief. As a time traveler, I'm afraid no one doesn't know Gu Yanwu's name. With such a scholar, Hongru is here, and there are too many things that can help Zhu Yiyuan.

Previously, Song Lian was in charge of writing for Zhu Yiyuan. His ability was very good, but when it came to theory, Song Lian was far inferior to Gu Yanwu.

"Mr. Ningren, Shanzuo Grand Society is a branch of Fushe. Now there are a group of young talents coming here, and I naturally welcome them. It's just that Tian Bin and his like, who are called Kangqing, are actually despicable and have bad habits. Absorb If he comes in, it will only ruin the reputation of the Rebel Army. I would like to ask Mr. Ning Ren to help in rectifying the Shanzuo Grand Society, so as to assist in the great cause of fighting the Qing Dynasty."

To rectify Shanzuo Taisha?

This matter was a bit interesting, but Gu Yanwu didn't agree immediately, after all, Zhao Shizhe and Song Jicheng were involved...they got together and discussed.

Zhao Shizhe sighed heavily, "Zhu Qian's story is good, the literati are depraved, and their long-standing habits are hard to change. Counting on them, it is true that China cannot be restored. Not only can it not, but it can destroy the country and destroy the family. The legacy is endless. I support the reform of the Shanzuo Grand Society."

The founders agreed, and the difficulty disappeared by most of it.

It's just that there is a very basic question in front of everyone.

What will Shanzuo Taisha do next?Do you only accept literati from Shandong?

Obviously, Zhu Yiyuan didn't want this.

"I thought that we should adopt an attitude of inclusiveness. Not only literati, but also scholars, farmers, businessmen, and warriors and generals should all be members. Only in this way can the big guys work together and achieve great things."

Ye Tingxiu said with a bitter face: "If this is the case, I'm afraid I will be swept away!"

Zhu Yiyuan smiled and said: "Only by sweeping the floor gently, can one receive the earthly energy, and with the earthly energy, one can be invincible."

Under Zhu Yiyuan's strong insistence, the reform of Shanzuo Taisha started rapidly.

The original Shanzuo Taisha was just a branch of Fushe in the north. They advocated learning from each other and forging stereotyped writing, apparently only for the imperial examination.

However, it is not necessary to talk about these things by secretly influencing scholars to discuss clearly and influence the court situation.

The re-reformed Shanzuo Grand Society aimed to expel the Hulu and restore China.

The specific propositions include the release of slaves and the elimination of lowly status.Divide the acres equally, protect farmers and so on.

As for membership, anyone who agrees with the above propositions and performs well can join after being recommended by members.

Afterwards, Zhu Yiyuan announced the convening of an assembly at the Shanzuo Grand Society, and a portrait of Zhu Yuanzhang, the great ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, was hung in the center.In addition, the "Da Gao" representing Zhu Yuanzhang's law of governing the country was also displayed.

"Next, our Shanzuo Grand Society has two most important missions. One is to go deep into the villages of Yishui and implement the new policy of land equalization. The second is to go deep into the army, preach military law, and fight side by side with the soldiers to ensure that they are invincible and fight Invincible." Zhu Yiyuan said enthusiastically.
