Not long after, Zhang Mingwei sat in the main seat, and two people on the left and right, one was Chen Yuanyuan and the other was Zhu Yujiao, accompanying him.

In the guest seat, there was a white-haired old man, who was also accompanied by a beautiful lady next to him.

I heard Zhang Mingwei say to the white-haired old man: "The trial of the Kong family case by the Three Law Divisions has now come to an end, and the basic situation is very clear. I mean, I want you to publish a few review articles in Ming Pao, how about it? ”

can be specially invited by Zhang Mingwei, it must be a more influential figure in this regard.

And now the person who can be contacted through Chen Yuanyuan is a white-haired old man, and there is only one person, that is, Qian Qianyi.

Since the last time Qian Qianyi expressed his support for Xinxue on such a public occasion, the discussion of him in Shilin has been a bit polarized.

There are some people, that is, those who are sour, the higher the hope, the greater the disappointment. Therefore, their attack on Qian Qianyi has become bigger.

said that he was afraid of the power of Xingguo Gong, and he was servile and kneeling. In short, he began to belittle him in various ways.

However, some people, who were originally supportive of Xinxue, began to praise Qian Qianyi.

Of course, the remaining part of the people is the largest number, because Qian Qianyi classified Xinxue as a branch of Confucianism, so he did not feel that he was suspected of betrayal, but had the feeling that he was a real person, and supplemented and enriched Confucianism.

For these situations, Qian Qianyi's feeling is a bit of a blessing in disguise.

In the past, I offended the Duke of Xingguo, and Jinyiwei may come to the door at any time, I really feel that the sky is about to fall, and the good days are over!

However, now, the influence in Shilin has not decreased, but the relationship with Xingguo Gong has been greatly eased. Not only did he live in the Xingguo Mansion, but with the help of his concubine and the connection between the Xingguo Prince's concubine, he was able to publish some articles in Ming Pao several times.

In this way, it is equivalent to getting closer to the side of Xingguo Gong. Maybe one day in the future, Xingguo Gong will be happy, and then he will be able to return to the mountain as an official!

During this period of time, Qian Qianyi thought that he had already made it clear that he supported Xinxue anyway. Otherwise, find a chance to worship under the Xingguo Gong and hug this thigh, then you will really have no worries about death.

He also went to see the Daming Jingshi Academy, and the scale was very large, and it was not the same as the previous academy at all. Such a large-scale academy, according to the power of Xingguo Gong, and the current emperor is so young, it is foreseeable that it can cultivate an unknown number of students.

If possible, you can also get involved, maybe because of the new learning, you can make yourself famous in history.

Thinking of these possibilities, he began to curry favor with Xingguo Gong's concubine more and more, and tried his best to publish some articles in Ming Pao to show his face.

This time, Xingguo Gong came over suddenly, which made him a little flattered, and he thought in his heart that he must take this opportunity to hug his thighs. As a result, he didn't expect that Xingguo Gong would ask him to comment on the affairs of the Confucian family in Qufu.

If there is anything Qian Qianyi doesn't want to touch, it's about the Qufu Kong family.

It's okay to discuss Xinxue, but if he wants to deal with the Qufu Kong family, he really doesn't want to do it.

However, he is also an understanding person, Xingguo Gong came to him and asked him to comment on the big case of the Kong family, so he definitely did not want him to say good things about the Kong family.

He was really embarrassed about this matter!

When Zhang Mingwei saw it, he understood that he was a little reluctant. But that's okay, it's easy to change his mind.

"Huh?"

Hearing Xing Guogong's unhappy tone, he snorted softly, Qian Qianyi couldn't help but shudder, and hurriedly looked up at Xing Guogong, and sure enough, seeing Xing Guogong's face was a little unhappy, he hurriedly replied: "Guogong has orders, and the grass people should do their best!" ”

After finishing speaking, seeing a smile on Xing Guogong's face, he also let go, and hurriedly asked carefully: "I don't know which aspect Guo Gong wants the grass people to comment?" ”

Qian Qianyi is a smart person, and he can speak with less effort.

So, Zhang Mingwei said directly: "Confucianism can be had, and the Confucian family must be defeated!" ”

"Huh?" Qian Qianyi was a little surprised when he heard this, and couldn't help but lose his voice, "That is to say, the title of Duke of Yansheng will be cancelled, and the descendants of Sage Kong will no longer enjoy the title?" ”

"That's right!" Zhang Mingwei listened, nodded and replied.

After thinking about it, he reminded Qian Qianyi again: "You can comment on what the descendants of the Confucian family have done, just seek truth from facts, what qualifications do they have to enjoy glory and wealth?" Not only this case, but also what has been done in history can be demonstrated. ”

was personally approached by Xingguo Gong, and Qian Qianyi knew that he had no choice. Now that he was reminded by Xingguo Gong, he thought about it, then stood up and replied respectfully: "Caomin knows how to comment!" ”

"Good!" Zhang Mingwei listened to it and praised it.

For Qian Qianyi, it is still necessary to use it, after all, it is only there that he has learned.

Therefore, after thinking about it, he said to Qian Qianyi again: "You can take a look, invite more fellow believers to comment, do this well, and the emperor's impression of you will definitely change." ”

It is not possible to coerce all the time, and you have to give sweet dates in order to mobilize Qian Qianyi's enthusiasm.

Sure enough, as soon as Qian Qianyi heard this, he understood that although Xingguo Gong did not explicitly promise anything, the implication was very obvious, and he was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly promised that he would definitely send a letter to his best friend and handle this matter together.

………………

As Qian Qianyi, the leader of Shilin, joined the criticism of the Confucian family and officially put forward the viewpoint of "defending Confucianism and overthrowing the Confucian family", all of a sudden, there was a storm and a vigorous uproar in the field of public opinion.

The matter of the Kong family, take it out for discussion, the more you discuss, the more ordinary the Kong family will seem, and the final result will definitely not be very good. And Ming Pao is in control of the leading power in this discussion of the Confucian case.

Those who want to speak for the Kong family can be heard by a few people around them at most. However, the views in Ming Pao have an impact on the whole country, and they cannot be said in the same way at all.

As long as it takes a little time, the Kong family's case will be confirmed.

Zhang Mingwei stopped paying attention to this aspect and began to concentrate on his own business.

According to the mature steam engine plan in his memory, he drew the first draft of the parts, and then asked Song Yingxing to take the lead and organize skilled craftsmen to build them by hand first.

At present, if you want to work on the assembly line, you basically can't do it.

Later, Zhang Mingwei suggested that Emperor Chongzhen gather all the generals in Wuying Hall and start discussing the Battle of Ningyuan.

The people who participated in this meeting were mainly the cabinet, the celebrant supervisor, as well as the military department and the household department, and then Zuo Yingxuan, the governor of Shanyong, Yan Yingyuan, the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan, Ma Xianglin, the envoy of Shizhu, Hao Shaoqi, Yuan Zongdi, Tian Jianxiu and others.

Of course, Zhang Mingwei must be there, needless to say.

This imperial meeting was led by Zhang Mingwei, who first listened to Zuo Yingxuan's report on the defense line of the Great Wall, and then Yan Yingyuan's briefing on the situation of Ningjin Jianyu and the current situation in Shanhaiguan.

On the basis of the two, Zhang Mingwei began to speak: "Now there are 20,000 cavalry troops and 5,000 white-pole troops outside the city. ”

After a pause, Zhang Mingwei emphasized: "The intention of the campaign is to eliminate Ningyuan Jianyu, deal a heavy blow to Jianguo's strength, recover Ningyuan, and then attract Jianguo to increase troops in Jinzhou." Create enough space for activities on the side of Dongjiang Town. The ultimate goal is to consume the strength of Jianyu through the Ningjin line and the Dongjiang River, and lay a solid foundation for the recovery of Liaodong! ”

Speaking of this, after glancing at Emperor Chongzhen, he raised his voice again and explained: "The key to this battle is to cut off Ning Yuan's retreat, and not let them escape, the White Pole Army and the Shanhaiguan Infantry Army are responsible for attacking Ningyuan City. In order to ensure that the campaign achieves its goal, all yamen must coordinate and cooperate, and if there is a problem, say in advance that once the war starts, the yamen who are dragging their feet will be severely punished! ”

The level of this meeting is definitely high enough, except for Emperor Chongzhen, only Zhang Mingwei is qualified to say this.

The household department provides food and grass, the military department coordinates, and the celebrant and the cabinet are the general coordinators. Yan Yingyuan introduced the situation of the construction and capture, and the preliminary preparations for the battle began in this way.

Emperor Chongzhen sat on the throne, listening to the discussion below, and suddenly wondered, is it so simple to fight? Just let everyone involved speak, and then gather a battle plan, that's all? Really?

Looking at all this, he couldn't help but wait and see, Xingguo Gong fought in the south and the north, and won many battles, is this how he won? So what will happen to the Ningyuan war in the end?

After the Imperial Council ended, military orders were handed down one after another.

On the side of the White Pole Army, a thousand people were selected and began to train the shooting of flintlock pistols. Trained with them, there were also 2,000 flintlock pikemen on the side of the Beijing camp.

In addition, Zhang Mingwei also began to select those soldiers with shooting talents, not only from the white pole army, but also from the Beijing camp and the Guanning army on the Shanhaiguan side, which can be described as one in a hundred, and a total of about 200 people were selected. Their training, unlike that of flintlock musketeers, was not the kind of platoon shooting.

……………………

During this period of time, after a period of heated discussion on the case of the Confucian family in Qufu, the verdict submitted by the Three Law Divisions was changed again and again, and finally a conclusion was reached, and Emperor Chongzhen allowed it to be played.

The masterminds of the Confucian family in Qufu, Kong Yinzhi and Kong Gaoqi abandoned the city, and the second-class accomplices were assigned to Qiongzhou, and the other members of the Kong family were lightly punished. The title of Duke of Yan Sheng, henceforth deprived. The memorial service of the Confucian Temple was changed to be the responsibility of the Ministry of Rites.

In this will, the importance of Confucianism is once again emphasized, and the scholars of the Ming Dynasty should uphold the essence of Confucianism and carry it forward, rather than learning one thing and doing another.
