Chapter 265: Tear down the bridge before crossing the river

"Brother Zilong is here?"

Huang Zongxi's loud voice sounded in front of Chen Zilongmen's courtyard.

The next moment, the door was opened, and a door came out to salute, seeing that it was Huang Zongxi, and said busily: "The villain has seen Master Huang, please come inside." While letting Huang Zongxi in, he told him that his master Chen Zilong was talking to Gu Jiang (Gu Yanwu).

"I don't mean Gu Tinglin is also there." That's just right.

Huang Zongxi strode into the threshold, this is just a small house with two entrances, and before he has walked a few steps, he has arrived at the hall. Just saw that Chen Zilong was sitting opposite Gu Jiang, and the two were talking very speculatively, and they didn't even know that Huang Zongxi had arrived.

"Brother Taichong? I haven't seen you for many days, don't come unharmed. Gu Jiang, the youngest of the three, saw Huang Zongxi, and hurriedly got up to say hello.

Chen Zilong was not so restrained, he only got up and arched his hand, and joked with a smile: "Taichong is here, sit down quickly." Recently, I haven't been able to find you many times, but I just said that Mr. Liu's official office is busy, how can I have time to sit here today? ”

Liu Zongxian is Liu Zongzhou, who was the head of the Ministry of Rites at the beginning of the Apocalypse. Politics on the right. Because of the impeachment of Wei Zhongxian and the Hakka family, he was cut back. At the beginning of Chongzhen, he started to Shuntianfu Yin, and he did not report it, and Xie returned from illness. Again awarded the Ministry of Labor, and accumulated the imperial history of the left capital. He also used to save Jiang Cai and Xiong Kaiyuan, and returned to his hometown after dismissal. Chongzhen moved south to Jinling and became a restoration official.

Huang Zongxi doesn't look at the fame of later generations, but like Gu Jiang, he is a person who is famous in Sun Mountain. The difference is that Gu Jiang has tried and failed repeatedly. Since the age of 27, he has abandoned the study of the imperial examination. And Huang Zongxi has a fame. And he is also a disciple of Liu Zongzhou.

After Liu Zongzhou recovered, he recruited Huang Zongxi into his own scene.

It was Chen Zilong, although he repeatedly failed during Wen Tiren's reign, but after Wen Tiren was deposed as prime minister in Chongzhen's tenth year, he went north for the third time, and Xia Yunyi was in the same middle school, both in the C branch (the third class). It's just that before he could go to work, he heard the news of his stepmother's death and went home for funeral.

In June of the thirteenth year of Chongzhen (1640), he served as the manager of Shaoxing Prefecture in Zhejiang, and soon acted as the governor of Zhuji. In the past few years, he has been an official in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and he has made great achievements. Until the Xudu incident, Zuo Guangxian broke his promise and killed more than 60 people in Xudu and his subordinates. Chen Zilong was very dissatisfied, so he returned to the city in March of the sixteenth year of Chongzhen.

So far, he has not been replaced. At this time, he came to Jinling, not to run for office, but because the emperor moved south, the form of the Donglin Party was very good, and Chen Zilong, as a top celebrity in the south of the Yangtze River, was repeatedly sent letters, such as Liu Zongzhou and Huang Daozhou, and Shengsheng brought Jinling. At the same time, this man was obviously eager to observe every move in the court up close.

Celebrities, literati, who doesn't have a belly to say?

They were dissatisfied with society, dissatisfied with the government, and dissatisfied with the emperor's ministers.

Acupuncture current affairs, pointing out the country, dung when the dynasty of ten thousand households.

This is a problem that literati have developed since they hit their bones! Especially the famous literati.

Don't talk to anyone else, listen to meβ€”β€”, that's the most comfortable.

In the political group of the Donglin Party and the Fushe, a considerable number of people are like this. I think very highly of myself.

Chen Zilong is still one of the better among them, and shouted very early: Practical use in the world, empty talk misleads the country. He really collapsed, first co-edited the "Emperor Ming Jing Shiwen Compilation" during the Ding Wei period, with five hundred and four volumes, and four volumes of supplements. The selected essays are based on the principles of the Meiji Rebellion, reserving similarities and differences, detailing the military, and emphasizing the economy, and the content is very rich, including politics, military, enlistment, finance, farmland, water conservancy, school culture, rules and regulations, etc., and is based on many practical issues encountered at that time.

Later, he comprehensively sorted out Xu Guangqi's agricultural masterpiece "The Complete Book of Agricultural Administration".

When he was an official, he also provided relief, relieved the hungry, set up a porridge factory, set up a pharmacy, supported the elderly and children, treated the sick and sick, collected the dead bones, and saved more than 100,000 people.

This person was quite an alternative in the late Ming Dynasty.

His academic views also had a great influence on Gu Jiang and Huang Zongxi.

However, when it comes to influence in society or Shilin, it can be seen just by looking at Chen Zilong that he has not been replaced, or has been recommended to come back.

His philosophy of scholarship is very different from the current Shilin ethos, although it is also quite famous.

But his great fame in Jiangnan is obviously won more by virtue of his magnificent poetry.

Huang Zongxi looked at Chen Zilong and shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Brother Zilong wants to make fun of him." The younger brother got up this time, but he had something big to tell him. Although tomorrow's "Beijing Daily" can also be read thoroughly, if it can be heard early, it will definitely make the two virtuous brothers happy for a while. ”

Chen Zilong and Gu Jiang glanced at each other, both at a loss. Then he turned his head and listened to Huang Zongxi's slow words.

Then Chen Zilong was pricked by a needle, jumped up, and said with great joy: "Your Majesty really sent a large army to the Central Plains to the north?" ”

Although there are many supporters of the strategy of the government and the opposition, it is not without opponents. Even in the Donglin Party lineage, there are Chen Zilong, Huang Daozhou, Du Yinxi and others who are trying their best to oppose them.

It's just that the general trend is surging, a little countercurrent, and it is overwhelmed by the waves in the blink of an eye.

"This time and that time. At that time, the Tartar soldiers were strong and strong, the major generals of the imperial court soldiers were few mentioned, and there was Zuo Liangyu in the upper reaches who sat and watched the world, with suspicions. Even if the imperial court has the heart to go north, it is unable to cope with it. However, today, You Daming, Zuo Liangyu died in the prime of life, and his person died, how could the 36th battalion dare to resist the imperial court and bow down to a child? Hundreds of thousands of left troops have been owned by the imperial court. ”

"The north-south trend has also reversed."

"What's more, the main force of the Tartars has now been trapped in Shanxi, the Central Plains is empty, Qilu is empty, and the North Zhili is empty. This is the God-given opportunity for His Majesty to fight for the remnants of his ancestors, to restore the Central Plains in the north, and to rejuvenate the Ming Dynasty. ”

Huang Zongxi's words were fierce and impassioned. But there is some truth to what he said.

Chen Zilong and Gu Jiang nodded frequently.

Li Zicheng wanted to abandon the western part of Jin, and the army withdrew to Guanzhong in order to narrow his defensive circle, consolidate his defensive line on the eastern front, and gather and mobilize more troops to fight the Azig army in a decisive battle. How could the Manchus be willing to watch the Dashun army of western Jin retreat to Guanzhong? Dordor must have sent troops to stop it.

Now the battle in Jinnan has not weakened at all because of the clear situation, but is better than before. The main force of the Manchu army was all concentrated in Jinnan, and Heluo was only garrisoned by a small number of green flag soldiers, which was completely vulnerable.

The morale-low Li Shun army was desperately retreating, and the Qing army, with high morale, was blocking the retreat of Li Shun's troops and horses as much as possible. Da Ming took advantage of the situation and happened to take Heluo in one fell swoop.

In this case, it would be difficult for Duoduo to withdraw from the army immediately after hearing the alarm. Because if you don't pay attention to it, it's a defeat.

The same is true of the battlefield in northern Shaanxi.

Emperor Chongzhen dispatched a large army to the Northern Expedition at this time, to be honest, this is really a good time.

"Good news, I'm really happy. For this reason, the bento should be revealed. ”

Chen Zilong and Gu Jiang all shouted loudly. Needless to say, the attitude of the former is needless to say, and after the latter gave up the heart of the imperial examination, he went through the history of the past dynasties, the county chronicles, as well as anthologies, chapters and so on. In the historical Southern Ming Dynasty, he was recommended by Yang Yongyan, the commander of Kunshan County, to join the Southern Ming Dynasty and serve as the secretary of the military department. He then wrote the "Theory of the Military System," "The Theory of the Situation," "The Theory of Tian Gong," and "The Theory of the Law of Money," that is, the "Four Treatises on the West of the West," which provided advice for the execution of the dynasty and put forward a series of suggestions on military strategy, troop sources, and financial rectification in view of the lax military and political abolition of the Nanjing regime and various malpractices in the late Ming Dynasty.

It can be said that this is also a standout on paper.

But even if they are both soldiers on paper, they must at least understand some military books, and the two of them know very well about the general trend of the world, and know that the main force of the Manchu Qing Dynasty has been trapped in Shanxi, and Li Zicheng is in the fierce battle. At this time, the Central Plains is empty, Qilu and Beizhili are empty, and the imperial court takes the opportunity to make trouble, and it is really possible to turn the tables in one fell swoop.

Under the great joy, just like Du Fu heard that the official army was collecting Henan and Hebei, he was full of tears when he heard it for the first time, and he was ecstatic with poems and books. The end of the spirit is flying.

Huang Zongxi was so happy to see the two of them so happy, and he was also happy.

But the three of them were all like Emperor Chongzhen, thinking only about the 'million' army sent out by the Southern Ming Dynasty, and leaving Zheng Zhilong behind.

Poor Zheng Zhilong, he has made a lot of hard contributions to Daming, and it has become a thing of the past in a blink of an eye. Emperor Chongzhen and his Ming Dynasty demolished the bridge before they crossed the river.
