Chapter 63: The Ability to Restore Society

The first wind and rain drifted away

According to the elite of the Restoration Society, so many scholars are dependent on the country and the people because of the inspiration of great ideals.

In this regard, Emperor Chongzhen just wants to say, let his mother shit!

These people, to put it bluntly, are actually political opportunists.

Their ideals are as great as a life-like flatbread, full of delicacies, all of which are real interests, and this is the stimulant that makes people fanatical.

First of all, the Restoration Society has a very enthusiastic entrepreneurial ideal, which is to promote retro learning, which will make people who are different from Japan useful.

That is, to promote traditional culture, improve the practical ability of students, so that they can make great achievements as officials in the future.

This heavyweight gold-lettered signboard is very magnificent.

In fact, the subtext behind it is: join our organization, protect your gold list title, and manage your official fortune.

Secondly, what captures the hearts of the students is the rich and colorful life in this group.

It is said that it is a study of knowledge and a study of organization, but in fact, it eats, drinks and has fun every day, and the poetry will be collected continuously, and all the heroic financiers pay for it.

Sometimes I travel across provinces, all the way to the scenery, all the way to eat and drink all the way.

Although it is not uncommon to eat, drink and have fun in the late Ming Shilin world, it is particularly eye-catching to play the level of Fushe.

Not only eating, drinking, and having fun, everything is exquisite, but also drinking tea, tasting wine, and dancing are all sublimated into lofty knowledge.

Individual people with unique tastes, even the best broken back can play a literary fan, which is very similar to later comrades.

It simply corrupted the whole social atmosphere.

As for wandering around the green building, enjoying life among thousands of flowers is even more commonplace.

And it's so easy to have fun, and you can easily get on the list when you get to the point.

Compared to many people, the cold window has been empty for many years, and it is really called casual success. Such a heavyweight enrollment effect naturally attracts students.

When I really joined, I knew the benefits of joining the company, and it was absolutely rich and powerful.

The Restoration Society not only has grades and specifications, but also has a strong background.

The founder, Zhang Pu, who was a famous Shilin leader in the late Ming Dynasty, casually swaggered on official occasions, and immediately officials respectfully came up to recognize the teacher.

Supporting the backbone of the community, it is called a gathering of celebrities, including all kinds of local families in the south of the Yangtze River, and there is no shortage of children of famous ministers.

There are many children of Donglin bigwigs, such as Hou Fangyu and Fang Yizhi, who are the second generation of Donglin who are rooted in Miaohong.

Such a group of core figures, some people are vying to smash money, they want connections to grab a handful, and they want to have a more solid foundation.

All the conditions for success are fully occupied, and it is difficult to succeed in running a re-establishment society.

has become a part of their wings, and in the future career of Huan Hai, no one will stop them from walking sideways.

Moreover, the big tree of the Restoration Society not only has a solid foundation, but also likes to spread its branches and leaves.

Although most of the members of the poor family can't enter the core organization, as long as you are honest and obedient, the imperial examination will naturally be taken care of, and you can also publish books for free to help you brush up your prestige during the exam.

Every step of the promotion and fortune, Panpan can find someone to take care of you.

Even charity events, they are also lively. often brings in funders to raise donations, and professionally buys people's hearts for many years.

Generally speaking, when a scholar joins the Fusha, then there is someone to teach him to study, someone to protect his exams, someone to praise his reputation, and someone to give him money.

In addition, there are constant staggered banquets, colorful Vanity Fair, drinking and messing around are guaranteed to increase fame, and it is easy to end up with a romantic and famous person.

Such an organization can be called a happy paradise for scholars all over the world.

But it also corresponds to the old saying: there is no such thing as a free lunch. With such a strong investment in the Restoration Society, there is only one goal: to collect cannon fodder.

Because the main business of the Restoration Society is neither literature nor religion, but it is real politics.

Just like its famous nickname "Xiao Donglin", what is needed is political combat effectiveness.

The years that this group of young elites miss the most are naturally the days when the Emperor of the Apocalypse first ascended the throne, and the days when the old-timers of the Donglin Party controlled the imperial court, that is, the "Zhongzheng Ying Dynasty" that is talked about in the history books.

Although about this memory, the Emperor of the Apocalypse complained very aggrievedly in his own edict, saying that a group of moral gentlemen did not do anything serious, and the country and government were in dire straits, and they only knew that they were pinching each other.

But in the eyes of Zhang Pu, Zhang Cai, Hou Fangyu, and Mao Xiang and other bigwigs of the Restoration Society, this is the glorious years worth fighting for with their lives.

So even if the old Donglin was destroyed by Wei Zhongxian, these second generations of Donglin and the second generation of local tyrants still hit it off.

Since then, with the confidence to change the world and change the future, this new group has been formed, and it has been dedicated regardless of blood and cost.

It can be said that until the fall of the Ming Dynasty, the Fushe entered its most arrogant and free era.

Rallies and lectures in various places are continuous, and their prestige is even more impressive.

However, there is no actual contribution to major national events.

Of course, to say that this group of people are just posturing and not doing things is not entirely true. There's at least one thing they've been doing from start to finish: fighting taxes.

The imperial court wanted to resist Jiannu and pacify the rebels, and the silver military expenses were needed, but whenever the imperial court intended to make the Jiangnan region pay, it immediately attracted the tough resistance of the Fushe.

The twists and turns of the relevant officials were so fierce that they could drown the officials in charge.

Then the thousand-person activity of the resumption of the society was even more impassioned and critical.

The resumption of the society is very active, and it is easy to understand when you think about it.

Their sources of funding mainly come from the Jiangnan clan. After receiving money from others, it is natural to do things for others.

In this regard, the Restoration Society is still very honest.

Even if the Ming Dynasty later perished and Jiannu conquered Jiangnan, some of the leading figures of the Fushe also took the initiative to petition Jiannu to ask for tax reduction and exemption in Jiangnan.

In this regard, it can be said that the resumption of the society is honest to the end.

Of course, if the imperial court wants to increase the agricultural tax, it will be a different matter.

Basically, all the leading people are selectively blind. Anyway, it's not on me, what the does.

As a result, the Ming Dynasty, which was allowed to increase agricultural taxes by the elite of the Restoration Society, finally came to an end.

In fact, these practices of the elite of the Restoration Society are not unfamiliar in the eyes of Emperor Chongzhen, who has crossed over.

The public knowledge, beasts, and bricks of later generations can be said to be the same as their practices.

They all take other people's money and advocate for others, and in the end it is the people who fool them.

And it is pervasive in all walks of life.

In Wen Tiren's firm gaze, Emperor Chongzhen recalled the past of the Fushe, and still had some scruples.

There are two main points, one of which is that objectively speaking, the good and bad of the resumption of the society are uneven, and there are still some talented people and loyal people among them.

Historically, with the demise of the Ming Dynasty, the fate of the former figures of the Restoration Society was once again divided.

They resisted the Qing Dynasty to the end, or died in battle, or returned to the field to live in seclusion, and did not serve the Qing court for the rest of their lives.

Its noble quality has been recalled by future generations.

In a word, they scolded enough of Daming in the first half of their lives, and they have been fighting for the revival of Daming in the second half of their lives.

Figures such as Gu Yanwu and Fang Yizhi adhered to their integrity after the failure of the anti-Qing Dynasty and were obsessed with academic research.

Both the natural sciences and the humanities have made immortal achievements.

It also proves once again that academic research is their promising career, and participating in politics in the first half of their lives is basically off the rails.

Second, of course, it is the amazing combat effectiveness of this group of people.

Think about it, they gathered a crowd to intercept the factory guard team escorting Zhou Shunchang, a famous minister of Donglin, during the Apocalypse, and brewed the "Tomb of Five Incident" that shocked the whole country.

The extremely fierce eunuch Wei Zhongxian was scared in the deep palace, and you can know their ability.

Therefore, whether to do it now, Emperor Chongzhen also said that he should consider it carefully.
