Pan Zuyin's opening speech was very short and powerful, and the Jishi students present warmly applauded and expressed their appreciation. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info capstone novel. Of course, they know that behind Pan Zuyin and the others is their principal Zhu Jishi, and they also know that this struggle against Jiangnan Shilin is directly related to their future -- this is actually a revolution that does not see much gunpowder! It was a duel between the Jishi classmates, who represented the industrial and commercial capital, and the Jiangnan gentry, who represented the landed aristocracy.

Oh, and it's not a duel, it's just a "Western-style" street fight. In the words of later generations, it is the "YS revolution", a very reactionary thing, which is not at all comparable to the high-end atmosphere and grade of the regime coming out of the barrel of a gun. However, Zhu Jishi is this kind of character who is afraid of wolves and tigers, and does not have the courage to break with the landlords and gentry of the whole Ming Dynasty, but just wants to suppress them, and at the same time support the Jishi classmates who can really represent and lead the bourgeoisie, and become a decisive force in the Ming political arena. Therefore, he controlled the level of struggle to a level that did not use the army.

Seeing that the classmates were very face-saving, Pan Zuyin nodded with a smile to express his gratitude, and continued: "Since the classmates are all in favor of taking action, then I would like to invite Zhao Huifu, who has been a diplomat in Europe for a long time and has seen the methods of political struggle in Europe, to talk to you, okay?" Knowing the European approach will help us to better fight them. ”

Although these Jishi students have a good foundation in Chinese studies, they still appreciate the principles and things of the West, and some of them also like to study Western philosophy and history books, and now they want to engage in political disputes. Naturally, they also tend to use Western methods -- if they were to use the traditional methods of the Ming Dynasty, they would not be needed. Instead, I want to invite the big eunuch to come out.

Zhao Huifu is Zhao Liewen. Huifu was his name, a man of short stature and dressed in Western clothes, who was also a Confucian scholar, who also served as a staff member of Zeng Guofan in another time and space, and accurately foresaw the fall of the Manchu Dynasty. However, in this time and space, by chance, he has embarked on a different path.

"Dear students of Jese University. I know that European politics is not really new to you, but I have seen it firsthand. In Europe, gentlemen with the same political views and ideals form a political party...... It is not our Chinese style of a party that only knows how to engage in officialdom struggle, but a party with a certain mass base and a relatively tight organization. Lead and organize political struggles through the party. Therefore, I suggest that we should first form a party, a party that can unite the bourgeoisie and the toilers, to fight against the gentry who are trying in vain to maintain their feudal privileges, and to guide our country to progress! ”

Someone at the bottom shouted: "A political party should be established, let's call it the Jishi Party!" All Jishi students should join, and the future country should be led by us! ”

It was Sun Zhu, the general director of Lanxiang Academy, who spoke. Oh, it's the brother of Sun Wen who went to the United States. He is also a student of Jishi, still studying law, and is now a licensed barrister, and serves as the dean of the college, which can be described as a successful career. Such an achievement is also considered high among Jishi's classmates, and it seems that it should be high-spirited. However, Pan Zuyin frowned slightly when he heard this suggestion, Jishi University has many outstanding alumni, but it is too naïve to think that such a small number of thousands of alumni can lead this country.

He smiled and nodded at Sun Zhu, and said loudly: "Thank you for your suggestion, I want to make a few explanations here." First, although our Jishi students are the elite of the country, there are still many outstanding people in China, and we are only a small part of them! ”

His eyes were blazing, and he glanced at the audience: "The second is that most of us have our own careers and are quite successful, they are not politicians, and their greatest value is not in politics!" So we are not and cannot become a bureaucracy, you must know that there are 400,000 civil officials in the entire Ming Dynasty, and we only have 10,000 people, and I don't know if there are 500 people who can be in politics for a long time. Therefore, if we want to maximize our influence, we must unite more Ming citizens who share the same ideals and ideas as us! We need them to support us, help us, and sometimes even guide our actions! Therefore, I suggest that the name of our party can be Shabaab or Jishi Youth Party, because the youth of Daming represent the future of Daming and are the objects we must unite and lead first! ”

"Okay, let's call it the Jishi Youth Party!"

"It's called the Jishi Youth Party, it's a good name!"

"I'm also in favor of ......"

Originally, the party that was going to emerge was called Al-Shabaab. After Sun Zhu shouted the name of the "Jishi Party", Pan Zuyin had an idea and gave another choice - the Jishi Youth Party, but he did not expect to win the support of most of the participating students. In this case, the name of the first truly modern political party in the history of the Ming Empire was finalized.

Of course, there is controversy in the future historiography as to who was the "first modern political party", some people think it was Hongmen, and some people think it was the Royalist Society.

At this time, several Jishi classmates who initiated today's party looked at each other and showed satisfied smiles. The purpose of their meeting had basically been achieved, and the motion to set up a political party to fight against Jiangnan Shilin was widely supported. These are all the leading figures in the business, legal and educational circles in Shanghai and Yingtian, and the energy of each of them is not under any scholar!

……

"Jishi Youth Party...... Ha, is this Emperor Zhu's hole card? ”

Outside Nanjing, in a Jiangnan-style garden-style villa, a group of scholars in Confucian clothes and scarves have learned the news of the establishment of the Jishi Youth Party for the first time. This party is not a secret political party, but a "political society and association" established in accordance with the "Daming Society and Association Law," and it has also published a full-page announcement of its establishment in such major Daming newspapers as "Ta Kung Pao," "Qingliu Bao," "Shilin Bao," and "Industry and Commerce Daily" -- the Jishi Youth Party is, of course, rich and wealthy, and has already raised tens of millions of yuan in party fees less than a week after its establishment, and this is still the party fee obtained by Zhu Jishi, the lifelong party chairman, without a single copper plate. In the present 10 years of prosperity, the Ming Empire finally has a bit of a bourgeois revolutionary victory.

"It's just a matter of ten thousand people, where can it be compared to my millions of scholars in Jiangnan?"

"Hmph, it's just a few stinky money!"

"If Emperor Zhu wants to move the army, we are really a little scared, what do we want to rely on...... Hehe, we Jiangnan scholars are not so easy to bully! ”

Weng Zifang is also in this room now, holding a cup of tea, looking coldly at a room of scholars, most of them are frustrated scholars who are over 30 years old and the same as themselves, there is no way to participate in the imperial examination, of course, there is no other way to be an official, and they are unwilling to change careers to do something else. Now this scholar turmoil in Jiangnan, that is, these people are the most energetic.

"Brothers, Weng has an idea." Weng Zifang heard that the "Shilin Leaders" had finished speaking, and only then did he say quietly, "Why don't we wait and set up a party." ”

"Founding a party? This is not good, the gentleman is not a party, only the little people in the world will form a party! ”

What is the ...... Weng Zifang glanced at the man, he was an old Confucian in his forties and fifties, it was really the emperor who didn't make people sick cats! The word "Jishi" is the name of today's son! If it was in the past, it was to be avoided, and whoever added the word villain after the name of the Son of Heaven would be directly disrespectful and enough to lose his head!

"It's better to call it the Donglin Party!" Weng Zifang said with a smile, "We are the descendants of the Donglin lineage, and we should carry forward the spirit of the sages of Donglin." ”

"Donglin Sage?" The old Confucian who had just been disrespectful sneered, "Someone in Donglin can propose Shinong Industry and Commerce, the business of living people!" This Jishi Youth Party seems to be the same vein as Donglin, right? (To be continued.) )
