127 Secret Counsel

As the Hongtang headquarters gained a foothold in the northeast and made the most powerful opponent of this era, the Jurchens of the Qing Dynasty, a stepping stone in its brilliant victory, Li Tianyang's self-confidence swelled countless times.

The ensuing issuance of the "Hongmen Charter" has actually passed the Legislative Council for a long time, but Li Tianyang was worried about the reaction of his neighbor Daming, so he has been kept secret, and now it has been implemented, but it has already shown an independent posture in a righteous and bright manner, and wants to sit with the Ming Dynasty.

"Bold!! Traitor!! ”

In Keelung Town, Dayuan Island, Hongmen, in a secluded Sanjin mansion, a well-dressed and gentle-looking Ming Han man, holding a Keelung Daily in his hand, roared angrily, and at the same time slapped a piece of agarwood Eight Immortals Table with a bang.

Beside him, there were also a number of literati and writers dressed in Confucian costumes, with similar expressions, venting their anger at the newspaper with the same hatred.

These Han sons and daughters here are all Confucian disciples who have come to Dayuan Island to learn scriptures from the literati of the Ming Dynasty over the years.

In the past few years, Hongmen has combined the memories of Li Tianyang's later generations and the culture spread by Westerners to create a unique political system, which has brought a great impact to its neighbors who are only a few hundred miles away from Dayuan Island.

Especially after Hongmen no longer concealed its existence, and after the official appearance of major political groups, there were more and more Confucian children who came to Keelung Town on Dayuan Island to learn scriptures.

Although many literati of the Ming Dynasty were already conservative and did not want to forge ahead, there were still many literati in the same team who were chasing the footsteps of knowledge and communicating with the outside world.

Because although the members of Hongmen have a lot of aborigines, Westerners, Nanyang Ren and other forces, it is undeniable that the population base under Hongmen is still Hongmen over the years, and has never stopped receiving Han people from the Ming Dynasty.

Coupled with Hongmen's policy of keeping light and keeping obscure, Li Tianyang never showed the slightest disrespect for the Ming Dynasty, and he was wearing the red scarlet robe of the Ming military generals.

This made the Confucian disciples who came to learn the scriptures realize that although the policies were different and the official control of the Ming Dynasty was not strong, this Dayuan Island was still a member of many Chinese cultures.

And Li Tianyang was able to serve as a second-grade military general from the Ming Dynasty, which at least proves that he is a member of the Ming Dynasty's military generals.

However, now the appearance of the "Hongmen Charter" and the announcement to the people under the command of Hongmen, the content written in black and white in the text has established its own existence on the same level as the Ming Dynasty, how can this group of literati who seem to be open, but in fact still regard themselves as a member of the Ming Dynasty in thought, can accept it.

"In vain, my Ming Dynasty trusted him, entrusted him with the Fujian Navy Division, and promised to be placed in the position of a rare admiral of the Dynasty, but he didn't want to raise a white-eyed wolf, and finally rebelled against his master, set up his own door, not a son of man, not a son of man!!"

The angry young man, who studied from the Taizhou school, surnamed Ouyang Chelian, has come to Keelung Town to settle down and study for more than a year, but he did not want to catch up with such a major event, and the contrast is so great that Ouyang Chelian, who is the most active in accepting external knowledge in the Confucian lineage, is difficult to accept.

"However, we have been studying hard for decades in the words of the sages, isn't this what we are asking for?"

Several other radical Confucian scholars echoed and said, "Since this so-called "Hongmen Charter" declares to protect the freedom of speech of the people, then let's all go to the Yamen of the Admiral's Mansion to argue with this man who has no king and no father!" ”

Although it was the time of the angry crown, these literati present had not lost their minds, and found the chapter in this newspaper, wanting to use it to discuss an explanation with Li Tianyang, the master of the Hongmen Gate and the commander of the Daming Water Division.

"Okay, that's a very good idea, I wonder if any of you would like to go with me and scold him and persuade him to turn back?"

Ouyang Chelian was also impassioned, making a gesture of killing and taking righteousness, looking for like-minded people among his companions.

"I wish I was gone!"

"Luckily!!"

Most of the literati who can travel thousands of miles to Dayuan Island to study are of the younger generation, otherwise it takes great courage to rush to this so-called wild and smoky place with their old bodies.

Therefore, under some encouragement, Ouyang Chelian said that most of the seven or eight people present went together.

"What? Brother Xilian is scared? ”

Seeing that there were still two or three people who were hesitant and did not seem to have made up their minds, a few of his companions began to stir up each other with words.

"It's not that we don't dare, but in fact, this Li thief is still the Admiral of the Fujian Navy after all, and the relationship with the government has not yet been drawn.

There are still people who are more sober-minded, whether it is out of concern for their own personal safety, or as far-sighted as the real baby teeth, what they say is also very reasonable.

"Listen to me, everybody!"

Another middle-aged man, who was relatively older, stood up and tried to stabilize everyone.

"What Li Thief is doing now is a trip without a king and a father, you and I both know it, but the ministers of the court and the central government may not know it; Even if I have known and informed the imperial court, I have no experience of putting myself in our shoes, and I can't know what is really powerful, I'm afraid that I will be slack off on this Li thief! ”

"Therefore, the top priority for our Confucian disciples is not to argue with this Li thief, but to report the major concerns of this matter to the princes of the imperial court, and ask them to be more cautious about this matter!"

The person who spoke was the oldest person in the generation, surnamed Tang Fenghua, who studied under Li Zhen of the first dynasty, and his style of thought and writing was different, but he also agreed with the Taizhou school, so the two sides had many exchanges when they visited Keelung.

"Mr. Tang, although you are an old man, but many things are taken first, since today he Li Tianyang is wearing my Ming official uniform, he should serve me Ming Dynasty Yu Zhongyi."

Tang Fenghua's words certainly made the excited scene calm down for the time being, but then Ouyang Chelian, who still maintained his passion, spoke again and maintained his opinion.

"This is far away from the court, and the scholars such as us are lowly powerful, and when the court reacts, I am afraid it will be a distant thing."

"It's better for Mr. to return to the court with two colleagues to report the news, and we will go to question Li Thief by ourselves, or let him think twice and buy time for the court."

Saying this, Ouyang Chelian didn't look back, and left the mansion with a group of companions first, and walked towards the downtown in the middle of the city, which was very decisive.
