In addition to the one where Zhengde is located, there are many baseball stadiums in Xiyuan, you know, according to Xie Hong's prediction, the number of the Young Guards should be more than 3,000, and it is best to set it at about 5,000.

In line with the principle of brainstorming, in addition to asking Jiang Bin and others for advice, Xie Hong certainly would not forget his chief adviser Uncle Zeng. The stakes are very high, Zeng Jian is not an ordinary scholar, of course, he will not pretend to understand and indiscriminately instruct, so he did not give an answer immediately, but told Xie Hong that he would find a professional person to evaluate the role of baseball.

Xie Hong was quite relieved about Zeng Jian's serious style, so he didn't ask in detail who the professional person was, he was self-aware, with his historical knowledge, even if Zeng Jian told the other party who it was, he was probably completely confused, so it was better not to ask.

During this time, in addition to preparing for the promotion of baseball, the renovation project of the Forbidden City was also in full swing, not only overhauling the Cining Palace, but even the palace walls and palace gates were repaired. As the chief designer, Xie Hong was so busy that his feet didn't touch the ground, and he forgot about this stubble for a while, thinking that Jiang Bin and they all said that it was okay to achieve eight achievements.

Therefore, even if he was free today, he didn't go to Zeng Jian to ask about the follow-up matters, let alone notice that Zeng Jian also went to Xiyuan today, and there was a middle-aged Confucian beside him.

If Xie Hong notices the movement here, he will find that he has met this Confucian scholar twice, and it is the head of the military department who appeared on the day of the completion of the Great Dynasty Meeting and the Royal Park.

"Boan, what do you think of this baseball?" Thinking that he had been observing for a while, Zeng Jian suddenly asked.

"Uncle Zeng, forgive the little nephew for being blunt, it is rumored that the uncle has a lot of relationship with that Xie Hong, but it is a lie?" The Confucian scholar did not answer the rhetorical question, and the question he asked was quite sharp.

After Li Dongyang began to be suspicious, the decision-makers of the DPRK and China began to alienate Zeng Jian, and Zeng Jian also consciously did not participate in the decision, so it did not cause any turmoil.

However, the rumors that Zeng Jian and Xie Hong have something to do with it still spread far and wide, and there are people who disdain, disdain, or secretly envy them, but officialdom pays attention to subtlety and introverted, and many things are good as long as they know it, and they don't necessarily have to be singled out, so no one has ever questioned this matter in person.

Today, this question is the first time for Zeng Jian, the old man was slightly stunned, and then he smiled and bowed his head, and he said bluntly: "This is true." ”

"What does Uncle Zeng think, what is Xie Hong's ambition? Imitate Wang Zhen, or Tong Gao and the like, or even have reckless ambitions? After listening to Zeng Jian's answer, the Confucian scholar's face remained unchanged, as if he had already made up his mind for a long time, so he didn't care, but the next question was even sharper.

Wang Zhen was a famous eunuch in the Ming Dynasty, recognized by the world, and the culprit who led to the Tumubao Change; Tong Guan Gao Yu was a famous courtier in the Song Dynasty, and some people in the Shilin Qing Discussion also believed that they were inseparable from the Ganlian after the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty; As for recklessness, it goes without saying.

In short, these individuals who are used as metaphors are not good goods, at least in the eyes of the world.

This Confucian scholar's way of speaking is actually very unpolite, just after asking about the relationship between Zeng Jian and Xie Hong, he compared a bunch of annihilators who make the world despised, which can be regarded as quite disrespectful to Zeng Jian.

But for some reason, Zeng Jian didn't care at all, but thought about it seriously, and then replied: "Wang Zhen is just a vulgar and ignorant person, and the elder is just a man who welcomes his wishes, and he is just acting nonsense, and he is talking the same thing as Xie Xian's nephew An Ke?" ”

He shook his head and said: "Xie Xian's nephew's way of promotion is similar to Tong Gao's ilk, but Emperor Huizong is very different from today's shang, not to mention, although Xie Xian's nephew's behavior is not very solemn, but it always has an unexpected effect, far from being comparable to Tong Gao's ilk." As for the reckless...... Hehe, what did he say, the old man didn't dare to assert it, but he could say that Xie Xian's nephew had no such ambitions. ”

"As far as the little nephew can see, I'm afraid it may not be." Regarding Zeng Jian's first two explanations, the Confucian scholar was noncommittal, but for the last one, he shook his head again and again to object: "The government and the opposition are all rumors, saying that the emperor obeys Xie Hongyan, like a puppet puppet, and looking at his usual behavior, he is also ruthless and decisive, and now he is ......."

His face was solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "He is in the imperial city in the name of the game, but in fact, he is playing soldiers and horses, how can the things he plans be small?" The little nephew is really puzzled, Uncle Zeng's Pingchong and tranquil are very different from this Xie Hong's style, but I don't know why...... Could it be true that it's just because of the skills learned, so they cherish each other? ”

"Oh?" Zeng Jian frowned, and asked instead of answering: "It's just a group of teenagers here, and it's just a game, why does Bo'an say that he is playing soldiers and horses?" Dare to ask for details. ”

"The way of military strategy is broad and profound, it is really not for the little nephew to be able to peek into the case, I dare not say anything, but the little nephew has also read a lot of military books and generals over the years, and it can be said that he knows a little bit about it. The way of the generals is nothing more than to choose the strong, choose the elite, and then play the scheduling, such as the arm and the finger, you can be invincible first......"

Although he is humble in his mouth, when it comes to military affairs, the Confucian scholar is full of energy, from the nuances to the details, and he talks eloquently, which is obviously very auspicious.

“…… Now, although there are all teenagers here, but the body is strong, and within a year or two, after the body grows up, most of them are a group of warriors. What's more, the ordinary elites in the world are only performing every five or ten days, but these teenagers are practicing hard every day......"

"Swinging a bat, you practice arm strength; Running and jumping, training is foot strength; In addition, hitting and pitching improves eyesight. After staying for a year or two, Hugh said that he didn't see the Jingying troops who played once a month, even if they were placed in the border army, these people only lost the courage and experience of fighting, how can it be said that it is a game? ”

Zeng Jian bowed slightly, but said: "Although the old man doesn't know soldiers, he also knows that fighting with several people is not the same thing as fighting on the battlefield. ”

"It is precisely because of this that the little nephew asserts that Xie Hong is now playing soldiers and horses." The Confucian waved his hand, and said endlessly: "The battlefield array, if you can do the order and ban, you will already be the elite of the world, but the teenager of the game here is not as simple as ordering and prohibiting?" ”

He reached out and pointed to the middle of the field, and said: "Uncle Zeng, please see, everyone in the field has a way to hit, run, and receive the ball, although the little nephew doesn't know the rules, but just look at the way of advance and retreat, you can already get a glimpse." And those who shout from time to time, who seem to be punished, and who, after the judgment, are in favor or unfavorable, but there is no one to argue with them, and they all act according to the judgment, is this not a decree and a forbidden? ”

"In addition, this game is a combination of movement and static, with a clear division of labor, and members must not only show their personal abilities, but also take into account strategy and tactics, cooperate with each other, and even take into account the overall situation and be willing to sacrifice themselves when necessary!" I don't know whether to praise the wonderful scene in the field, or to say it myself, the Confucian suddenly clapped his hands and smiled, and praised: "This kind of realm is even better than the prohibition of the order!" ”

"Hugh sees that there are only a few hundred people here, but in time, they will become elites. If it is gathered and made to make it, it can rush to capture the flag, and it will be unstoppable; If you are scattered into the army, you will serve as the general manager, but I am afraid that in the middle of the day, the hero will be completed! Such a method of drilling, can An Neng not say that it is a drill to train soldiers and horses? ”

Zeng Jian smiled and didn't answer, but praised the other party and said: "The old man has heard that Bo'an is well-read, both civil and military, and now he has heard it, which is really worthy of his reputation." ”

"Uncle Zeng's praise, Bo'an is ashamed." The Confucian was a little humble, and the old saying was repeated: "Xie Hong played soldiers and horses in the palace ban, said before, the so-called billiards master has caused a trend, presumably he will follow the precedent when he promotes baseball in the future, now there are only three hundred, but I am afraid that after ten months, it will be three thousand, or even tens of thousands!" ”

He raised his eyebrows and asked sharply: "Bo'an, may I ask, plus the 1,000 elite soldiers of Nanzhen Fusi, this kind of force can already suppress the capital, what is this Xie Hong's plan?" ”

Zeng Jian smiled and said: "Bo Anxiu came to deceive me, how can you not see the emperor with your eyesight?" With your knowledge, how can you not know the mystery in it? Although it is Xie Xian's nephew who presides, but in fact, he has little contact with these teenagers, but the emperor himself gets along with everyone day and night. ”

"But I can't hide it from my uncle." The Confucian scholar's face froze, and his cold expression disappeared, and he asked again: "It's not that Bo'an is innocently offended, but there are too many weird things about this Xie Hong, which makes me puzzled." The question of the right talent, although it is tempting, is not Bo'an's sincere words, can I ask my great-uncle to solve my doubts? ”

"Since I invited Bo'an to come here today, the old man knows everything......" Zeng Jian groaned slightly. As the chief consultant, of course he knows about the lack of talent around Xie Hong, but there are really few people who are talented and can rest assured, and who can accept Xie Hong's ideas in this era, especially among scholars.

Having little doesn't mean that there isn't, Zeng Jian thought hard about it, and really came up with such a person, that is, the one he brought today. Xie Hong's proposal to restore the grand occasion of a hundred schools of thought contending certainly made everyone who heard it feel incredible; This Bo'an is not a good stubble, compared to deviant, he may be a little worse than Xie Hong, but he is also very limited.

I think back then, after enlightenment, the first ideal he made was to be a saint!

Generally speaking, this important position cannot be held by a living person, even if it is a dead person, it must have extraordinary achievements and be recognized by the vast majority of people in the world, so that he can be respected as a saint.

There are many scholars in the world, and they have all kinds of ideals, but no one has ever talked about being a saint, which already belongs to the category of great rebellion. Hugh said that it was said to say it, even if he thought about it, it was a blasphemy, but some people said it. Although this allusion only circulated among those close to him, and did not spread to the outside world, it was shocking enough.

This man's name is Wang Shouren.
