Knowledge!

What is the knowledge that has been applied to the world?

Occasionally he would look at the gravel on the ground, all of which were so sticky with the ointment that even if he was kicking, it was difficult to kick the gravel.

This is the asphalt road.

The first asphalt road in the Ming Dynasty. Such a road is far cheaper than a stone road, but it is not afraid of rain like a stone road, as for the dirt road, it naturally cannot be compared with it, in the future, inside and outside the Qinghe City, such a road will be built.

Could it be that this way is the knowledge that has been applied to the world?

Thinking of the exquisiteness of the hydraulic yarn machine he witnessed a few days ago when he was an intern in the factory, his brow was tightly knit, and although he had been here for more than a month, he was still entangled between science and practice.

"Dunfu, what are you thinking?"

Suddenly, a voice interrupted Zhang Ying's thoughts, he raised his head, and when he saw his friend Lu Longqi running over, he smiled.

"It's nothing, it's just idle and in a daze."

Zhang Ying didn't say what he thought in his heart, but just put away the scroll in his hand, and then said to Lu Longqi.

"I heard that this time, the government office will select the top 50 according to the results of the academic exam, first enter the government office for a year of probation, and then go out to the place, with the results of the book, I think that among these 50 people, there will definitely be a book."

When looking at Lu Longqi, sometimes Zhang Ying is inevitably a little curious, why he, a native of Zhejiang, would come to Qinghe Academy to study. The reason why he came to Qinghe Academy couldn't be simpler, because Tongcheng was under the rule of Jiangbei, and the reason why he came to Qinghe was recommended by Zhi County.

Even some of them are always a little reluctant, after all, the current situation is not quiet, this Qinghe Academy is called the Academy, but the mountain chief is the master of the envoy, almost equal to half of the official school, in the future, if the imperial court calls, what should the more than 1,000 students in the academy do?

Even now, whenever he thinks of the Manchu Emperor personally leading hundreds of thousands of troops, Zhang Ying will feel a little suffocated with nervousness, after all, that is the emperor, is ...... Emperor.

Even if the other party is a prisoner.

Can the strategy hold back the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Qing captives?

"Fifty people, don't say more, say less a lot, if you want to enter these fifty people, you have to work hard!"

Lu Longqi said with a solemn expression.

"The scriptures are different from others, never use the eight articles at all, and do not worship science, and those who are admired by it are only the "practical learning" passed on by the mountain chief. ”

When mentioning these, Lu Longqi's brows furrowed slightly, and he was inevitably a little unhappy in his heart, after all, he had always focused on science articles, but after coming to Jiangbei, he was a little disappointed, especially in this Qinghe Academy.

The reason why he came to Jiangbei was because he was attracted by the "Chongxian Pavilion" in Jiangbei, after all, for the twenty-nine-year-old, this was a rare opportunity. Unlike Zhang Ying, for many years, his poor family only made a living by sitting in a restaurant. Until two years ago, that is, at the age of twenty-seven, he took the exam to make up for the disciples of Benyi. The establishment of the "Chongxian Pavilion" in Jiangbei to recruit talents is a rare opportunity for him.

Of course, he never revealed this to anyone else, and even if many people had the same thoughts as him, at least on the surface, they did not reveal what they really thought in their hearts.

"The mountain chief once said that at present, Zhu Zixue has fallen into emptiness. The fundamental reason why our Ming Dynasty was on the verge of extinction was that the corruption of internal officials, especially the corruption of scholars, led to the exhaustion of the national program and the moral degradation of the people. If it weren't for that, half of the south of the Yangtze River would have been lost in one fell swoop......"

Although he had been entangled in science and practice before, when it came to practice learning, Zhang Ying still couldn't help but quote the words of Shan Chang and other teachers to advocate the concept of practical learning, even Lu Longqi of Zhu Xi, who was an academic specialist, couldn't help but agree.

"There is indeed truth in what the mountain chief said, but the reason why science has fallen into emptiness is just a mistake by others, but the original sect of science. If we completely reject science, wouldn't it be overkill? ”

The two of them chatted like this, while walking in the academy, walking and walking, suddenly, the sound of shouting and killing from the classroom on the side made the two of them stunned, and then the two of them looked a little unnatural, the shouting and killing sound was naturally made by the students who were undergoing assassination training.

Unlike any other academy, Qinghe Academy, from the mountain chief to the ordinary teachers, advocated that reading should be practical. It is believed that in addition to the "six arts", Tianwen, geography, rivers, and the art of war are all indispensable and useful knowledge for the rejuvenation of the country. Jinglu has also repeatedly encouraged the students in the academy to have the ability to "have both physical and military skills, both civil and military", so as to save the country and revitalize the country.

The students in the academy practice "stabbing and spearing", which is part of "physical use, both civil and military", and for the two of them, not only this "stabbing and spearing" is equal to torture, but also the same is true of the physical education class, it is said that the "physical education class" is slightly created, from long-distance running to long jump, as well as grenadiers and other items, the students in the academy will always complain about the hardship.

However, although it was painful, whether it was Zhang Ying or Lu Longqi, they could feel the changes in their bodies, and even their breathing had changed, so although they were still a little uncomfortable, they could still feel the benefits of physical education classes on their bodies.

"By the way, Jiashu, have you heard? I heard that Jingluo is now running a naval army in Yuzhou, and I heard that there is a naval school there, and students like me can apply for the examination. ”

When the two walked to the lake, Zhang Ying involuntarily led the topic to state affairs.

"I've heard that, too."

Lu Longqi nodded and said,

"As long as you don't know, why does Jinglu run a water army, after all, this Qinghe River is located in Hebei, even if it is guarded by a water army, how can this water army not be able to defend Jiangbei now?"

"Maybe it's for his Northern Expedition, after all, in the future, the Northern Expedition will always be inseparable from the naval army, if hundreds of thousands of troops go north along the canal, when the time comes, it will inevitably need the naval army to transport grain and grass, military supplies, think about it, the intention of the strategy must be so."

Although some information can be obtained through some channels in the academy, many of Zhang Ying's ideas are still limited by the knowledge he has learned. After all, not everyone has ever been able to understand the role of the navy, or the role of the navy.

"Northern Expedition ......"

After a moment of silence, Lu Longqi immediately expressed his suspicions.

"At least this year, the Northern Expedition is absolutely impossible, after all, the Qing captives have gathered so many troops in Shandong and Henan, and now, I am more worried about whether the power of Jiangbei can stop the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Qing captives!"

"Isn't there still Prince Zheng?"

Zhang Ying asked casually,

"When the battle of Suqian was in the beginning, how could Prince Zheng send troops to help?"

For the impression of the "Battle of Suqian", Lu Longqi can be said to be extremely profound, and it is precisely because of his deep impression that he came to Jiangbei from Zhejiang, after all, deep in his heart, he also regarded the Ming Dynasty as orthodox, at least the Manchu Dynasty, but it was just a barbarian.

"At that time, because Jinglu and Nadasu were evenly matched! Now that the Qing Dynasty is strong, Prince Zheng will definitely send troops at that time. ”

Zhang Ying said with a smile.

"In fact, as long as the monarch and the ministers work together and the people work hard, what can't be done? This year, will there be a Northern Expedition, I don't know, but back then, King Goujian of Yue was lying down and tasting courage, ten years of life and gathering, ten years of lessons, didn't he destroy Wu after 20 years? ”

Although he was worried about whether Jing Luo could stop the Qing Dynasty, on the other hand, Zhang Ying seemed to be very optimistic about state affairs, in fact, this mood was complicated, on the one hand, as a Han Chinese, he certainly hoped that the Ming Dynasty would win, but on the other hand, reason told him that the current situation was not as optimistic as he imagined.

As soon as he said this, Lu Longqi immediately sneered:

"It's so easy to talk about it!"

Shaking his head and sighing, Lu Longqi looked into the distance and said.

"The Qing Dynasty can mobilize the country's troops, but what about my Da Ming?"

Lu Longqi's rhetorical question made Zhang Ying silent for a while.

"It seems that half of the country has recovered from my Daming, but ...... After all, now that the imperial court is far away in the southwest, its whereabouts have long been unknown, in this case, how can it be able to mobilize the whole country's troops? ”

"The imperial court is far away in the southwest, hasn't it been several years?"

Looking to the southwest, Zhang Ying said.

"Actually, although Nanjing has been recovered now, if the imperial court can return to the court now, it may not be a good thing for me to be Ming!"

"Oh? Why is that? ”

Lu Longqi looked at Zhang Ying in surprise, with a little puzzlement in his eyes.

"Isn't it a good thing to have the imperial court as the center? When the time comes, Prince Zheng, Zhang Shangshu, and Jing Luo will all be ordered by the emperor to gather the world's troops and expel the Qing captives, wouldn't it be a great thing? ”

"But think about it, if the imperial court returns to Nanjing, and the emperor takes power, when the time comes, Zheng Wangye, Zhang Shangshu, and Jing Liu, will this military power be handed over or not? What's in it for them? ”

Zhang Ying said in a low voice.

"Don't forget, not to mention Yue Wumu, that is, when the Hongguang Dynasty was in the past, there was a lot of infighting in the court, if the court is back now, do you really think it's a good thing?"

"Dunfu, listening to your tone, it seems that you don't trust the court very much."

"Jiashu, you have been in the academy longer than me, haven't you heard the gentlemen mention the old things of the Apocalypse, the Chongzhen Dynasty and the Hongguang Dynasty? What was it like in the court at that time? If it is said that the officials will not stop fighting at that time, will there be any hope for this Northern Expedition? ”

Although Zhang Ying is not the son of an official family, he has also heard a little about the intrigue of officialdom, and in this academy, when listening to the chief of the mountain and the gentlemen talking about the old things of the old dynasty, they will always sigh.

"Then from the point of view of Dunfu, is it a good thing for the Ming Dynasty that the court does not return to the court?"

Lu Longqi looked at Zhang Ying and asked rhetorically.

"Whether it's a good thing, I don't know!"

Zhang Ying shook his head and looked in the direction of the old city and said.

"But I think they must have their countermeasures......"
