After discussing a series of policies against the gentry, or rather, the representatives of the scholars understood and accepted Chen's will, they left the tent and returned to their respective tents to rest. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

It was getting late, but there were still a lot of military affairs to be dealt with, especially the submission of a training report on new weapons, which received great attention from Chen Wen. In the contents, the principle of selection of soldiers had already been set, but the officer in charge of the boot camp reported another matter, which was that when using this weapon, the standard helmet was extremely inconvenient, but it attracted his attention.

In the recent battle, the jaw-dropping archery skills of the cavalry of the Mongolian Eight Banners still come to his mind from time to time. Visors need to be equipped, but it seems a little inappropriate to add them to the hat, but it takes more time to equip them with a different form of helmet, which is really difficult to weigh.

However, this consideration has not yet come to fruition, and Wang Jiang, who has been invited by Chen Wen to assist the staff in the work so that he can familiarize himself with the system as soon as possible, has missed a night visit and wants to talk to Chen Wen.

"Guogong."

"Uncle, there are no outsiders here, you are complaining that I have not helped you get out of the tiger's den until now."

Guogong is an official title, and Chen Wen clearly remembers that he and Wang Jiang were not like this when he was in Tiantai Mountain. Perhaps, in the past few years, especially this time, he participated in the reconstruction of the Ming Army of Dalanshan, but in the end he had to ask Chen Wen for help, Wang Jiang already had some knots in his heart, so it would be like this.

This is what Chen Wen does not want to see, and the friendship between the two on Tiantai Mountain back then is not comparable to Huang Zongxi. More importantly, although Wang Jiang once surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, in fact it was only to paralyze the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and in history he used this to escape from Hangzhou, and finally died on Dalan Mountain. Compared with Huang, who is not guaranteed in the late season, it is much better.

"Well, hey, Furen."

"That's exactly how it should be."

The private title was redetermined, and the distance between them was also shortened, and from the posture of sitting there, it could be seen that Wang Jiang was much more relaxed.

"Over the years, thank you for taking care of my mother and the."

Wang Jiang's mother died and his wife remarried, both of which were fake. To put it bluntly, they are all illusions deliberately created by Chen Wen in order to rescue Wang Jiang.

Historically, Wang Jiang set up a bureau to escape from Hangzhou, first taking in a concubine when his mother died, and then using the existence of the concubine to pretend to fall out with his wife, so that he divorced his wife, so that his wife could leave Hangzhou first. In the process of divorce, Wang Jiang's wife even preached Wang Jiang's despicability, shamelessness and moral turpitude everywhere, so that others, especially the Manchu officials who were in charge of monitoring him, despised him and then relaxed their vigilance. In the end, Wang Jiang pretended to be a wandering wreckage and played around, but he never delayed his return, and the concubine was still at home, which made the Manchu officials completely relax their vigilance, and finally came and never returned.

Wang Jiang sacrificed the concubine in order to get out of trouble, but in this era, the concubine is just the private property of the head of the family, and to put it bluntly, it is an object, which is completely different from the main wife. In this era, it is very common to give away one's concubine to others, and it is even an elegant thing.

As for the joke that rushed to the crown and became angry, it was simply a habit to carry the black pot of the dead country on the body of Chen Yuanyuan, a weak female streamer, Wu Sangui is not a traverser, and it is naturally impossible for a concubine who was born as a singer. And Wang Jiang's approach, even Huang Zongxi, who has been slandered by him in history for the rebuilding of the Ming army in Dalanshan, did not use it as a cannonball, which can be seen from this.

Out of contempt for the evil feudal society, especially because his appearance caused Wang Jiang's mother and wife to not be captured by the Qing army, making Wang Jiang's plan impossible to carry out, Chen Wen created a false impression in order to try to paralyze the Manchu officials in charge, thus facilitating Wang Jiang's escape. In fact, this ploy was just a modification of Wang Jiang's original layout, and he had never done anything great.

"It should be so, after this incident, the eldest uncle can leave for Jinhua and reunite with his family."

Speaking of this, Wang Jiang's eyes were immediately drowned in tears, and it was not until a long time later that he was relieved. Wiping away his tears, Wang Jiang immediately expressed his intention to come.

Puzzled, he took the book handed over by Wang Jiang, and the Analects were clearly written, but Chen Wen could not understand that Wang Yi had told Wang Jiang that he could not transfer the book to him until his death was confirmed. Just looking at the words between the lines, Wang Yi's understanding of the teachings of the sages when he was reading was written, and he was already full of contempt for the class of scholars, but he couldn't help but have a little respect - for a loyal person like Wang Yi, or for this belief that has been passed down to this day.

Chen Wensi thought about it, perhaps, in Wang Yi's heart, he was also a remnant of the eunuch party as Feng Jingdi and Huang Zongxi said, and even a demon king who came to disturb the world of the Confucian scholars and doctors, so before the first battle of Siming Lake, Wang Yi would succumb to the generals of Siming Mountain and put him on the shelf.

This feeling has been around for a long time, at first Feng Jingdi was excluded from him because of party disputes, so that he was calculated by Wang Sheng, and then it was Cao Conglong's betrayal, and Huang Zongxi's struggle to try to start anew, and even he himself once acquiesced to the positioning of the remnants of the eunuch party, so that he was even more hostile to the Donglin party, which represented the interests of the southeast gentry.

However, it wasn't until he turned to the section of "Yan Yuan" that Chen Wen's heart suddenly shook, and then he sat there speechless for a long time.

"Zeng Zi said: A gentleman will meet friends with literature, and he will help people with friends."

It is clearly written in the book, but when he saw all this, Chen Wen suddenly remembered that when he climbed Dalan Mountain at the beginning of the year, Wang Yi asked about the table words, but what he said was clearly "Furen?" But the son in the Analects said: The gentleman will meet friends with literature, and the Furen who will be friends with friends? ”

These words were said by Zeng Shen, not Kongqiu!

"Wang Jingluo, have you been suspicious of me since then?"

Hearing this, Wang Jiang was stunned for a moment, then sighed and acquiesced.

At the beginning, Chen Wen did not plan to stay in eastern Zhejiang, but wanted to mix up some entanglements from Wang Yi's hands, so that he could go to Fujian to join Zheng Chenggong. From the beginning, he didn't plan to stay for a long time, so he didn't do many things tactfully enough, calling Zhu Yuanzhang by name, calling those who spoke of the Son of Heaven in ancient times, unabashedly wooing Sun Yu and others, and even opposing the beggar teacher who went to Japan did not get rid of this mentality. Even at that time, he was suspicious of Wang Yi......

"No wonder in the end, Wang Jingluo still chose to listen to Feng Shilang's words and prevent me from participating in the battle of Siming Lake. Karma, it really is. ”

Trust is relative, Chen Wen had a lot of doubts and thoughts about Wang Yi and others at that time, no one is a fool, and in turn he will naturally be treated the same.

"Fu Ren, I just hope you don't forget the teachings of the saint."

"The teachings of the saints?"

Wang Yi once said this, and over the years, he has not read much Confucian classics, but Chen Wen asked himself, echoing the core of Confucianism - benevolence has never been less.

Siming Lake was defeated, and it was benevolent to cover the evacuation of the people; Fubiao Camp slaughtered the people of Yiwu to avenge it; Ma Jinbao brutalized Shi farmers and industrialists, first chased, and then punished is benevolent; Since the restoration of Jinhua, we have adhered to the principle of defending the land and exempting the affected people from taxes, which is also benevolent; Even today, it is still benevolent to rescue Dalan Mountain and avenge the martyrs of Siming Lake.

Over the years, the Manchu Qing Dynasty has ruined my clothes and etiquette, forced me to change customs, killed my innocent people, and stole my splendid rivers and mountains. In the days to come, the Eight Banners will sit like a parasite and eat the blood of China, and the Manchu court will use means such as literary prison and the revision of the "Siku Quanshu" to destroy our Chinese classics and cut off the pulse of our culture.

Barbarians have no civilization to speak of, they will only destroy, and they will only destroy the beauty, happiness and hope of the world. When it is, resisting the Qing is the manifestation of benevolence. And those Confucian scholars and doctors who had a considerable responsibility in the Manchu Qing Dynasty swept the world, on the surface, read the books of sages and sages, and were full of benevolence and morality, but behind their backs, they were even more unkind and unjust, and they were in fact the scum of the famous religion, and punishing them and forcing them to go on the right path must also be a manifestation of benevolence.

"In my heart, there has never been a day or forget!"

However, Wang Yi's matter did give Chen Wen a wake-up call. In this world, no one is a fool, and it is his heart to be hostile to the scholars, but it is also inevitable to divide and disintegrate and properly deceive.

"Uncle, Ming people don't say dark words, Huang Taichong said this, I am very unhappy in my heart."

Huang Zongxi restarted Dalan Mountain, and this matter has changed from the historical one. They know what they want to do and what they want to achieve, but they don't break it. At this moment, when Chen Wen mentioned it, Wang Jiang's face turned red.

"Furen, none of them can make things happen."

"If it doesn't work out, it's always bad."

Chen Wenjian's eyebrows were raised, and Wang Jiang's words of consolation were swallowed back. It's just that in the next moment, Chen Wen shook his head, and then said, "Even if they report what they are thinking now, don't I know?" ”

They can't do it, but they do bad things. On the one hand, the exchange with Chen Wen was to reduce Chen Wen's dissatisfaction with them, so as to prevent political blows and protect himself and his family; On the other hand, it is a test to determine whether or not to encourage others to drag themselves behind their backs. And for this kind of "make trouble if you don't give candy", Chen Wen naturally wants to give some candy after beating several sticks, even if it's just sugar coating, he has to plug their mouths.

"Uncle, if you are free, you can tell them that I, Chen Wen, were also half a scholar back then, and I know that this governance still requires scholars. However, in order to avoid being deceived by the officials below, scholars must also undergo training to enter the ranks. Otherwise, if you catch ducks on the shelves, you won't understand anything, and you will only mislead the country and yourself when you go to the local area. ”

Exterminating the gentry is simply impossible in this era, whether it is Confucianism or the gentry class, they have long been deeply rooted in the soil of China, and it is not something that can be done. What's more, now that the Manchu Qing Dynasty is still alive, the bear hasn't been killed yet, so he slaughtered his companions in order to share the meat, and he doesn't have much interest in the things that those fools in the history of the Southern Ming Dynasty have done too much.

However, in Chen Wen's view, as long as the military landlord group in his hands is strong enough and strong enough to become a class, in the coming days, there will be time to grind down with the scholars.

Yes, slow work makes fine work, there is no hurry, and you can't be in a hurry!

"What Furen said is very true, this matter is wrapped up in me, and it will prompt them to be used by the king of Zhejiang."

Wang Jiang is one, how could he not know that this training is to change the court of scholars and put them in Chen Wen's pocket, and as a smart person, he naturally knows how to say these words to Huang Zongxi in order to achieve the best effect. It's just that he hasn't been to Jinhua Mansion, and he doesn't know very well what the situation is in the occupied area of the Ming army in Zhejiang, let alone how strong Chen Wen's hostility is to the scholars at the end of the Ming Dynasty.

For Chen Wen, Wang Jiang is the only one he can trust to restart the few people who restart Dalan Mountain. Others, not to mention the Huang family brothers and the Wanjia brothers and Jiang Han, who had never met before, Shen Tiaolun and Zou Xiaonan have not defected to him for so many years, and they have not even asked someone to bring them, most of them are either not optimistic about the Zhejiang Ming Army, or they are not optimistic about him as a person, and it will be over to maintain some things on the surface. But Wang Jiang must prepare a suitable position in order to better play his talents.

"Uncle, I think you should also know that His Royal Highness King Lu has been dismissed from your position. The positions of the Ministry of War and the Metropolitan Procuratorate, those are not mentioned, and the governor of Zhejiang also gave Cao Conglong. Later, His Royal Highness King Lu went to supervise the country, and we changed the Yongli Son of Heaven to orthodoxy, and the ruling King of Qin also gave this position to Sun Yu. ”

Hearing this, Wang Jiang nodded, saying that he had heard about it, and expressed that as a subordinate of the Qing Dynasty, he did not ask for anything in his official position, but just wanted to do more things to wash away the stain.

"This time you can come back, Bo Yang and I are full of joy, and before the expedition, Bo Yang expressed his willingness to work under you again."

"It's absolutely not going to work."

Wang Jiang categorically denied it, but Chen Wen just waved his hand, signaling that he was going to continue.

"What kind of character he is, you should know it, uncle. But over the years, he has always taken care of the affairs of internal affairs, and I need to take care of the impact when he hastily changes people. This time, I will ask the court to ask for a household servant for you, and I will return to Jinhua to get acquainted with it for a while, and the financial affairs will still be handed over to you to be in charge, and Boyang will go to deal with political affairs. ”

"This ......"

"You just listen to me."

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

The division of labor between Wang Jiang and Sun Yu was solved, and Chen Wen mentioned some things about the new policy in eastern Zhejiang with Wang Jiang, inherited the Dalanshan version of the fire consumption and returned to the public, improved the health system, and realized the separation of justice and administration. After talking for a long time, until he had finished talking about this, Chen Wen suddenly remembered something, and a look of disdain appeared.

"At the end of last year, Mu Weng sent someone to send a message, saying that the imperial court appointed Rugao Li Zhichun as the southeast economic strategy, as the supervisor of my country surname and the kings of the southeast."

It stands to reason that it is too late for a big army leader like Chen Wen to win over, since there has been Cao Conglong's rebellion, it is naturally impossible to send any more supervisors over, which is really easy to arouse suspicion. No one is a fool, as soon as Wang Jiang heard this, he immediately understood the intention of Qin Wangsun Kewang, but when he thought of the current situation, he still couldn't help but sigh.

"This appointment was brought out by Yao Ziqiu from Guiyang nearly a year ago. It was already May in the winter of last year, and he didn't come to Zhejiang for half a year. It seems that either Sun Kewang found the wrong person, or he happened to choose the right one. ”

When he was on Dalan Mountain with Wang Yi, there were a lot of filth in the Ming army in eastern Zhejiang, or within the court of Lu Jianguo, and it was only said that Wang Yi had fought and disagreed with Huang Binqing and Zhang Mingzhen, and there were even more between other ministries. He has been under house arrest in Nanjing for many years, and he knows nothing about many things, and now that he has just returned to Zhejiang, he knows that the same is true between the Zhejiang Ming army and the Qin clan in the southwest, and he doesn't know what to say for a while.

Wang Jiang was speechless, and Chen Wen was not. It's just that, compared to Wang Jiang, Chen Wen already knew what kind of character Sun Kewang was, so naturally it was like that.

looked at each other without saying a word, and on the second day, Wan Sicheng and the others looked at him as a "remnant of the eunuch party", although Huang Zongxi didn't say anything, but he took the initiative to mention the matter of welcoming Wang Yi's daughter to the door, and he had the intention of repairing the relationship between them. And then, the Ningbo defenders also surrendered unexpectedly, since the Ningbo General Army, Ningbo Prefect, Yinxian County Governor and other civil and military officials all went out of the city to surrender, Chen Wenbing regained this giant city in eastern Zhejiang without blood.

Entering the city of Ningbo, Chen Wen soon saw Lu Yuding among the gentry who greeted him, then turned over and dismounted, walked up to the front and bowed.

Chen Wen is now a prince of the country, a number of nobles in the Ming court, and the leader of the army in Zhejiang, who actually bowed down to salute a local scholar, even if this scholar had an official position of observation deputy envoy in the court of Lu Jianguo.

"Guogong, don't do it."

Seeing Chen Wen saluting, Lu Yuding hurriedly bowed to the ground, although the two of them were called by their words when they were in Jinhua, but in front of outsiders, the gap between Xungui and the former official still made him full of fear.

Helping Lu Yuding up with both hands, Chen Wen said loudly to the officials, generals, gentry, and people present: "This worship is not for Zhou Ming's running and funding in the past few years, but to thank Lu Gongyuding, a righteous man in eastern Zhejiang, for regaining the head of the loyal martyr from the hands of the Tartars, and not avoiding the righteous act of hiding the crime of death hidden in the family!" ”

Wang Yi's head was stolen, almost everyone in Yinxian County knew about it, and some of Lu Yuding's friends even knew that Lu Yuding, Mao Mingshan, and Jiang Han did it together, and the head was also hidden in his home. However, when Chen Wen made this incident public, the praise of the loyal and righteous people immediately melted the people present, and even spread to the streets and alleys at an indescribable speed.

Wang Yi's body can no longer be found, but Wang Yi's daughter is still there. Whether to be buried in his hometown, or buried in the land where Wang Yi once struggled in Dalan Mountain, or buried with the arm of Feng Jingdi and Dong Zhining's corpse that Lu Yuding had previously buried, Chen Wen planned to take some time to ask for her opinion. In this regard, Lu Yuding also expressed his understanding and agreement.

Entering Ningbo Fucheng, Chen Wen went directly to Lu's house, Lu Yuding is his biggest supporter in eastern Zhejiang, especially another supporter, Huang Zongxi, who is already a person today, and he must be good at appeasing him. It's just that Lu Yuding's supportive attitude towards clarifying taxes and other matters during the banquet still surprised him, so that after this appetizing side dish, he ate a lot more at the main meal.

After nightfall, Chen Wen still returned to live in the camp outside the city. Ningbo Fucheng is down, and Shaoxing is said to be extremely smooth, and the rest is only Zhoushan. To this end, Chen Wen sent Ma Xin's Tiantai battalion to Dinghai. The defenders there were the standard for fleeing back, and when they saw the banner of the Ming army in Zhejiang, they didn't even have the courage to hesitate, so they opened the city and surrendered.

Ma Xin sent someone to send the news back, Chen Wen knew that if he wanted to attack Zhoushan, it was best to set off from Dinghai, and his Zhejiang coastal patrol sailor was also about to arrive, and the recovery of Zhoushan was imminent, and the eight prefectures in eastern Zhejiang were about to be completely bagged. However, less than half an hour later, Ma Xin sent another piece of news, saying that Zheng Tai's ship had arrived at Dinghai Port, but it really made him frown. (To be continued.) )
