The feudal relationship between monarchs and ministers is making trouble, this is Zhu Yongxing's first thought. But after thinking about it, I found that it was not so simple. Wei Wang Ma Bao's mind is just the beginning, there will be similar people in the future, in the final analysis, it should be the traditional idea of the mean at work.

If the idea of moderation is a kind of moral cultivation, of course, there is nothing wrong with it. But if it spreads in officialdom and the workplace and becomes a norm, it will do more harm than good. In the long run, the development and progress of a country and a company are inseparable from talents who have the courage to take responsibility, have the courage to be responsible, dare to innovate, are unwilling to be mediocre, and want to make a difference! However, the golden mean will create a bad atmosphere of mediocrity but flattery, honesty but not enterprising, and courage to take responsibility but be suppressed.

Of course, a national character that is aggressive, courageous, and has a clear distinction between right and wrong cannot be formed overnight, but it is necessary to maintain the vitality of the country and to enable the nation to stand firm.

If we vigorously advocate it, we will inevitably break with and struggle with the old traditions and ideas. Perhaps setting an example for people with practical actions and subtle influence is more appropriate for now.

But this is not enough, far from enough, to promote and encourage an idea or thing, there must always be a theory to support it. Zhu Yongxing believes that sooner or later, we should come up with a convincing systematic and rigorous theory to make people accept and act according to this kind of ideological standard.

Only what is national is what is global. Zhu Yongxing felt that there was no need to start anew and engage in a set of sensationalist doctrines and doctrines. In fact. It is completely possible to start with Chinese culture and learn and master a simple method of analysis and judgment to solve theoretical problems.

Yang abandonment, a philosophical term, entered Zhu Yongxing's mind. The so-called renunciation means abandoning the negative things in the old things and retaining and carrying forward the positive things. It is neither to overthrow the existing qiē and reinvent it, nor to blindly inherit the qiē.

We cannot simply affirm or deny a qiē, and we cannot make one-sided and absolutist mistakes. That's right, it's easy to understand. But in practice, it's not easy. Many people dismiss renunciation as compromise and surrender. They see themselves as the unyielding spokesmen of the school, who represent the inevitable future, absolute truth, and excellent morals. This gives rise to an almost pathological psychology of suspicion and a strong sense of self-righteousness.

What Zhu Yongxing wants to solve now is the domestic ideology, and what he wants to advocate is to criticize and absorb Chinese cultural thought and practice the very basic values of Chinese culture. In other words. It is to break the limitations of the doctrines of Confucius and Mencius, Mohistism, Legalism and so on. Only the best of it is extracted. It is an academic school of thought that combines Chinese culture and social modernization.

If the idea is clear, the matter will be determined quickly. As the emperor, Zhu Yongxing does not have to do everything himself. There is a powerful group behind him, and his subordinates have the wisdom of the economy and the courage to write a thousand words, how to plan, implement, and how to set off this trend of thought, these people will handle it in an orderly manner. All he needs to do is to use his fame and status to climb the heights.

Of course, the necessary drama still needs Zhu Yongxing to take the lead in singing. When government funds were still a little tight, on the day of the construction of the Seven Sages Temple funded by the royal family, Zhu Yongxing led several high-ranking officials to lay the foundation stone in person, expressing great importance.

The Seven Sages Temple, as the name suggests, is the most representative of the hundred schools of thought, and the seven great sages with practical significance in their theories are enshrined. They are Confucius, Mencius, Han Feizi, Mozi, Laozi, Sun Tzu, and Guiguzi, covering Confucianism, Law, Mo, Taoism, Bing, and Zongheng.

As an indispensable means, Zhu Yongxing's imperial pen inscribed the title, and "State Affairs" opened as the first newspaper that was different from the previous imperial court newspaper. First of all, it was an article introducing the doctrine of the Seven Sages, which not only boosted the national pride of the Chinese people, but also gradually set off a trend of research and discussion.

Only by advocating and guiding, inheriting and criticizing, will an ideological system that belongs to the nation and is suitable for the present life slowly take shape. Without thought, people are the same, and a confused and wandering nation cannot stand tall among the nations of the world and radiate its own cultural influence to the outside world.

In fact, if Zhu Yongxing was not so far-sighted, he would have been a feudal emperor in accordance with the previous tradition. With his merits, he can't run away from the reputation of a Ming Jun. Let's look at the history of the Qing Dynasty, from slavery to feudalism all over again, relying on numbness and rigidity of the people, but relying on the warming of the climate and the popularization of high-yield crops, so that the population has grown, is there still any "chaff prosperity"?

History often falls from one peak to the bottom, or from one valley to the top, flourishing and declining, and chaos and then rule, which reflects this dialectical thinking and results. The tyranny of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but it was still able to calm down, which is the embodiment of chaos and then rule. People suffering from war, hunger and poverty are determined to have more needs for survival than anything else.

Moreover, at this time, the cost of calming people's minds is minimal, as long as those in power show this will and make real changes to people's lives, even if it is small, they will be supported by the people. For example, for a beggar, if he is given a steamed bun, he will think that it is a happy thing; And for a rich man, the delicacies of the mountains and the sea may not satisfy him.

But just because Zhu Yongxing sees far and thinks deeply, he is unwilling to do nothing in the tide of development of this era, and even lags behind the world. Again: this is the worst of times, this is the best of times, it's just a matter of how you grasp it.

The course of history deviated more and more from Zhu Yongxing's memory, which made him gradually let go of his military command. The war has turned into a contest of comprehensive national strength, and this is actually his area of expertise. With the help of a forward-looking vision, we can formulate and implement corresponding policies, so that the speed of national recovery and reconstruction can be greatly accelerated, leaving the Manchus far behind.

Turquoise lake with stone boats on the edge of the lake. There are nests in the trees, water lilies and dirty ducks in the lake. A qiē is so peaceful, so simple, so harmonious, so beautiful. It's so beautiful that you want to fit in. A charm of patience. A kind of enlightened oriental philosophy, a kind of inherent beauty, a kind of lazy eternal tranquility, which is playful, admirable, and enviable.

And Zhu Yongxing was sitting on a chair by the lake, quietly looking at this tranquil scenery. After a while, he gently pursed the corners of his mouth, sooner or later the war will pass, and it is often considered a monotonous and boring thing. Only this peaceful and peaceful life. It's the theme that people want, right?

Long live, Majesty, Holy ...... Well, there are quite a few names. But it didn't make Zhu Yongxing feel so proud. One on top. It's almost a lonely person who doesn't have friends!

"Fang Aiqing—" Zhu Yongxing had already made up his mind. The other party Yizhi said: "As for the Academy of Sciences, it was established in the name of Qin Tianjian first, but the research project is still focused on people's livelihood first. For example, water conservancy, such as improved seeds, such as the improvement of various practical machinery, to achieve quick results, short cycle projects. As for astronomy, physics, and the compilation of comprehensive encyclopedias, let's wait until the world is settled! ”

At the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, great achievements were made in both philosophy and science, and it was Fang Yizhi who reached a considerable height in Tongcheng. He not only read poetry and books, but also loved natural science knowledge, and was so poor in physics that he once said that "he is not wise and has the seclusion of extreme things". Taking advantage of the trend of Western learning to the east, Fang Yizhi adhered to his family education and passed on the "Yi" to the world, and on the other hand, he had extensive contact with missionaries and learned Western learning, which can be described as a rare scientist.

Zhu Yongxing is very concerned about the change of the political system; The development of science and technology is also an indispensable aspect of a strong country. Among the literati who are everywhere, it is reasonable for Fang Yizhi to attract his attention with such a unique existence.

Of course, Zhu Yongxing knows that the investment in science and technology is huge, and he cannot rush for quick success. Basic research, in particular, seems incomprehensible to many people, even ridiculous, as absurd as trying to explore why green grass is green. In fact, this is the case with scientific research, and it is not meaningless to conduct research that may or may not have practical value. And it is precisely because of the insatiable curiosity of the real yàn, the exploration of many problems that makes it possible for the next generation or the next generation to have the possibility of technological miracles.

No Henry? Cavendish and Michael? Faraday, Thomas? Edison could not have made a light bulb. The atomic bomb became a reality because Albert Einstein published an obscure book decades ago, proposing a theory that was completely unapplicable at the time.

However, financial and material resources are now being accumulated for the Northern Expedition, and there are practical difficulties in meeting the financial needs of all quarters. It can only be to choose the key points and distinguish the order.

Fang is wise and knowledgeable, from astronomy, public opinion, ritual music, law, sound, writing, calligraphy and painting, medicine, and technical bravery, all of which can test its origin and analyze its purpose. Because of this, he was not sure about the focus of Zhu Yongxing's project.

"Weichen is stupid, please make it clear." Fang Yizhi bowed down and asked for advice.

Zhu Yongxing frowned and thought about it, then smiled, and said: "Let's start with the improvement of textile machinery, if we can improve efficiency, we can not only produce more goods, but also liberate more manpower." ”

Most people believe that the Industrial Revolution originated in the Midlands of England. The beginning was marked by Hargreaves' invention of the Jenny spinning machine, while the Industrial Revolution was marked by Watt's improved steam engine. Therefore, Zhu Yongxing's proposal to use textile as a breakthrough is not a whim, nonsense.

Fang Yizhi took the order, but he did not retreat immediately. He euphemistically expressed it, wondering how Zhu Yongxing inadvertently said that the sun is a hundred times the earth and the earth is four times the moon, how did he know?

How do you know? Zhu Yongxing can't say it, and what he said is not particularly accurate, one hundred and nine times anyway, I don't remember it, anyway, this error is not very big.

Zhu Yongxing couldn't give a positive answer, so he "Wang Gu talked about him left and right", and perfunctorily sent this astronomy fan away.

Knowing it, I don't know why, modern education can only teach guys like themselves. It seems that he understands a little bit of everything, but when he delves deeper, he doesn't understand anything. Zhu Yongxing looked at Fang Yizhi's back, very embarrassed.

After being embarrassed for a while, Zhu Yongxing thought about the situation in Myanmar again. Historically, Burma's treatment of the Yongli monarch is quite puzzling.

Li Dingguo and Bai Wenxuan, as well as Gao Wengui and Wu Zisheng, all led the army into Burma to take over. The Burmese side met with the Ming saber soldiers and was repeatedly defeated. But it is to detain the monarch and ministers of Yongli. And when the Qing court asked for the Yongli monarch and ministers, the Burmese king Mangda refused in the name of "injustice". Because of this, he attracted the dissatisfaction of his ministers, so that his younger brother Mangbai was able to stage a coup d'état and come to power. After that, it was the new Burmese king Mang Bai who changed his policy and handed over Yongli for peace.

Why is this so? Zhu Yongxing didn't understand the psychology of the Burmese king Mangda. As for taking over the drive out of Burma, Zhu Yongxing adhered to the principle of not fighting if he could, and waited until the Manchu Qing Dynasty was completely defeated before settling the general account. But he was not sure whether the Burmese side could send Wang Jia out.

Odd goods? In the case that he has ascended the throne and ascended the throne, China has established a new emperor. This role of the Yongli is greatly reduced. The Burmese should be clear. The Southern Ming already owned half of the rivers and mountains, and the revival momentum had been achieved, and the Burmese had no reason to wait and see from both sides in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and would risk offending the actual rulers of the Southern Ming Dynasty. And trapped forever?

………………

The sea is smooth. Tranquil. It makes people feel lazy. It was like a horse that was one with the sky, but darker, brighter, and purer than the blue of the sky. Vaguely like seeing the swing of silk, seeing the curves that appear and disappear on the straight horizontal line, and gather and merge. I saw the short-lived snow-white waves.

"The emperor is already in the middle of the boom?" Looking at the calm sea, Zhu Zhiyu's mood was unsettled, and he thought about it repeatedly, always feeling a little incredulous.

If you talk about Zhu Zhiyu, it is estimated that many people don't know, but when it comes to Zhu Shunshui, it is a celebrity in history.

In the summer of the fifteenth year of Yongli (the eighteenth year of Shunzhi, 1661), Zheng Chenggong and Zhang Huangyan joined the Northern Expedition to recover Guazhou and conquer Zhenjiang. By July, Zheng's army was defeated outside Nanjing and retreated to the coast of Fujian, and Zhu Zhiyu was disappointed and went to the Wa Kingdom to beg for money.

After crossing east to Japan, Zhu Zhiyu was not allowed to land at first, and had to be trapped in the boat. At that time, Japan implemented a policy of closing the country, and "not a single Tang person was left for thirty or forty years". The Japanese scholar Anton Shouyu was introduced by Chen Mingde, who had settled in Japan, to ask Zhu Zhiyu in a handwritten letter, perform disciple salutes, and run around for him, and finally obtained the approval of the Japanese shogunate, breaking the ban of the Japanese shogunate for 40 years, and letting him live in a rented house in Nagasaki.

Later, the Japanese vice-shogun (the uncle of the great shogun Tokugawa Ietsuna) and Mito Hou Tokugawa Mitsukuni wanted to revitalize the Shushu no Kokushi (庠序, the old name, in ancient times referred to the local school), and sent the Confucian minister Kotaku Shengshun to Nagasaki to hire Zhu as a national teacher, and invited Zhu to Edo (present-day Tokyo) to give lectures.

Zhu Zhiyu was disappointed, but also felt that "Confucius is alone in China, and Yao Shunzhi is constantly in foreign lands", so he traveled back and forth between Edo and Mito to give public lectures. And the hometown "Shunshui" as the name, which means "Shunshui is the name of the water of the Yiyi", in order to show the feelings of not forgetting the homeland.

Zhu Zhiyu was very popular in lecturing in the Japanese Kingdom, and Tokugawa Mitsukuni also personally performed the disciple ceremony and was wholeheartedly respectful. However, the news was a little closed, perhaps it was also deliberately concealed by the Japanese people, and he was not very aware of the war situation in the country. However, Zhu Zhiyu has always hoped that the Central Plains will have a day of recovery, and for this reason, he lived very frugally during his stay and saved more than 2,000 gold, hoping that one day it could be used as funds for the restoration of the country.

After the Ming army suddenly used force against the Satsuma Domain to help the Ryukyus recover, the Wa Shogunate received a notification from the Southern Ming government, but it contradicted the report of the Satsuma Domain. In order to find out the true intentions of the Nanming government, Zhu Zhiyu was invited and an envoy of the shogunate was sent to take advantage of the new emperor's accession to the throne to test the changes in Nanming's policy towards the Japanese state.

At this time, Zhu Zhiyu fully knew the situation in his homeland. Although there were also intermittent news and uncertain things that came to his ears before. But he never expected that the Zhongxing of the Ming Dynasty would rise from the southwest Jedi after Yongli abandoned the country, let alone that half of the rivers and mountains had been recovered, and the new monarch had been established.

Judging from Zhu Zhiyu's character, he did not like his career, focused on learning, and was called three times in the Hongguang Dynasty but did not take office. The reason why this is the case is also that he believes that "the world is getting worse day by day, the country is getting worse, the government is getting money, and the government is bribed", and he cannot be tolerated by the customs.

From the perspective of factions, Zhu Zhiyu should belong to the Luwang faction of Zhoushan, and has a deep friendship with Zhang Huangyan and others, but has little intersection with the Yongli regime. Moreover, he was very disgusted with the infighting and corruption of the Yongli regime.

Therefore, recovering the homeland is Zhu Zhiyu's greatest wish, and as for who the emperor is, he doesn't particularly care. Although Zhu Yongxing is a distant clan, Zhu Zhiyu is not disgusted by the merits and the hopes of Zhongxing. I just felt puzzled in my heart, it was unbelievable that a distant clan with a little name could establish such a feat and recover half of the rivers and mountains.

Mingzuo is endless, a saint descends from heaven! Zhu Zhiyu, who couldn't find the answer after thinking about it, had to make such a guess.

"Mr. Zhu—" Weiyuan General Weng Qiu saw that several envoys from the Japanese Kingdom who were following Zhu Zhiyu were not in front of him, so he walked over and asked tentatively, "Will the Japanese Shogunate agree to trade and trade?" ”

After Zheng Jing had no choice but to go to Taiwan, the Zheng soldiers of Tongshan were panicked, and Weng Qiuduo, the Weiyuan general who guarded this place, led more than 60,000 soldiers and civilians to serve the imperial court. This was the largest and largest number of Zheng Jun's defections, and Zhu Yongxing Dayue was still appointed to his original post and incorporated him into the navy. After that, Huang Ting, the general of the Zheng army, had to take refuge in despair, and led more than 30,000 family members and officers and soldiers to belong to the imperial court.
