The previous chapter was blocked before.

Because of force majeure, Li Hongzhang and Lord Li's dream of becoming emperor was shattered before he could sail far.

In order to prevent the river crab god from staring again, the author has made changes to the previous chapter.

The world line has changed, and Li Zhongtang did not claim to be the emperor, but became the Duke of Tang of the Ming Dynasty.

He is already a first-class earl, so it should be quite reasonable to be promoted to duke, right?

However, Lord Li's restless heart did not calm down.

………………………………………………

said that he didn't dare to accept the prince of the Ming Dynasty, but dared to accept the Duke of the Ming Dynasty, this is actually Li Hongzhang's true words.

What happened to King Sanshun and Wu Sangui who voted for the Qing Dynasty back then, and I still remember it vividly.

To tell the truth, in Li Hongzhang's opinion, this old Zhu family's heart is not much bigger than that of the Manchu Emperor, and he doesn't dare to come to this trick of calling a lonely widow.

The duke is very good, he can ascend to the sky in one step, ascend to the pole in two steps, and retire to ensure the glory of the first generation and the safety of his descendants.

In fact, Li Hongzhang did have further thoughts.

After dealing with Daming for so long, Li Hongzhang has some understanding of the internal situation of Daming.

For example, his eldest son, Li Hongzhang wrote to him more than once to get him information from the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, Li Hongzhang didn't know that every time Sha Jingfang replied to a letter, he was in Jinyiwei's office, writing and changing while asking for instructions.

But no matter what, Li Hongzhang still has an intuitive understanding of Daming from all aspects and channels.

To put it simply, this dynasty is full of martial virtues, but the culture is thin!

In Li Hongzhang's view, the Ming Dynasty is like the Mongols of the year.

On the battlefield, they were invincible and invincible, even the Taixi powers were not their opponents, and the soldiers were even more prosperous than the Yongle Dynasty.

But they don't read the Four Books and the Five Classics, they don't learn the words of the sages, and they don't know how to treat the gentry and scholars well!

Violent and violent, a violent word, Xingzhen They really didn't say it wrong!

As far as Li Hongzhang knows, whether it is the headquarters of the Ming Dynasty or the capital of Wadao, Zhu Fugui is extremely unfriendly to the gentry.

In the Ming Dynasty, there are many taxes and miscellaneous taxes, even Jinshi must also pay taxes, and the richer they are, the more taxes they have to pay!

On the contrary, the agricultural tax and salt tax of the small people are extremely thin, and they simply put the cart before the horse.

The Zhu Ming court took advantage of it, collected heavy taxes, and then built bridges and paved roads, robbing the gentry and sages of their jobs!

It is really a big knock on the bone and the marrow, and the competition with the people is to the extreme.

Not only that, but the officials of the Ming court also had to go to the countryside, so that the imperial power directly crossed the clan and the village sages (in fact, it crossed something that did not exist), and the entire people were in a miasma.

Women do not know chastity, wear short shirts into the factory, and greatly hurt morals;

The young man does not know the dignity and humility, and it is normal to question the elders of the sect;

Even if it is a man, he does not respect Confucius and Mencius learning, and does not regard reading as noble.

Of course, reading here refers to reading Confucian classics such as the Four Books and the Five Classics, not some strange miscellaneous books.

The Zhu Ming court built several primary schools and middle school halls, even mud-legged babies can study.

But all they read are crooked books!

Although it is true that there are courses in Chinese studies, and the proportion is not low.

But listen, these courses!

"The Essence and Dregs of Confucius's Doctrine", "The Dialectical Relationship between Mencius's Thought of Despising the People and Noble and Zhu Fugui's Theory", "Why Confucianism Is Not a Religion", "Why Only the Excellent Chinese Nation Has Got Rid of the Bondage of Religion - The Positive Role of Confucius and Mencius Thought in It", "Sweeping Female Virtue into the Garbage Heap of History", "Bad Habits in the Disciple Rules", ......

This Zhu Ming's so-called Chinese culture, is it Chinese culture?

It's Zhu Xue, it's Zhu Fugui's own knowledge, right?

Even if you are three or two, you dare to start a sect and comment on the two saints of Confucius and Mencius?

Phew!

Your old man who "Visiting the White House" has not read it!

Compared with you, Lord Qianlong is Li Bai alive, and Du Fu is reborn!

Of course, Li Hongzhang only dared to complain about these words with a few henchmen.

However, even so, three days later, he still went to Zhu Fugui's small notebook.

If Li Hongzhang's understanding of the Ming Dynasty is purely a blind man touching an elephant and a leopard in a tube, then Zhu Fugui's understanding of Li Zhongtang is an encrypted exploration of historical materials, a 360-degree all-round infiltration research without dead ends.

It is not an exaggeration to say that Zhu Fugui knows Li Hongzhang better than Li Hongzhang.

After all, Zhu Fugui even has his 60-year-old physical examination report, and he has already prepared a complete set of pig killing packages.

·

After all, it was the middle and late nineteenth century, and Li Hongzhang, as a Hanchen, had a gap between his vision and Xu Guangqi back then, but it was enough to make up for it with the influence of ideology.

Li Hongzhang did not object to Chinese learning Western instruments, otherwise he would not have organized international students to go to the United States.

It's just that there is a specialization in the art industry.

Mencius said: "Those who work hard govern people, and those who work hard govern people."

In his view, Western instruments are nothing more than what those who govern others have to learn.

And the true gentleman, or the ruler of people, must learn the knowledge of a sage.

Otherwise, even if Western learning reaches the pinnacle, even Westerners are willing to bow down and worship, at most......

It's just another Dr. Xing!

Dr. Xing is a great talent, and it is true that he is a genius, but after being in contact with him for so long, Li Hongzhang still feels more or less that this person is not a nerd, and it seems that he does not know anything except Taixi's knowledge.

What are you doing, the first place in prostitution!

If everyone in this world becomes Xing Jiuliu, I'm afraid it's not a good thing!

Li Hongzhang also had great hopes for students studying in the United States.

As a result, more than 300 students went out, but none of them returned to China, and the eldest brother who took the lead was actually his own son, what else could Lao Li say?

Although he is not an extreme Confucian defender like Zeng Guofan, Li Hongzhang is also a genuine scholar who came from the imperial examination step by step.

He also recognized the concept of secondary school as the use of Western learning, and believed that the Four Books and the Five Classics and the teachings of the sages were the only way to govern the country and the family.

Only by relying on the gentry and the scholars can the world be stable for a long time.

And the Ming Dynasty's perverse behavior, abusing scholars, making them go to the fields to farm, and work in the mines, is more than that of Meng Yuan back then.

Meng Yuan was only ranked as "one official, two officials, three monks, four monks, five doctors, six workers, seven hunters, eight prostitutes, nine Confucians, and ten beggars", and also stopped the imperial examination, did not give scholars officials, and finally lost the world.

This Zhu Ming not only did not open the imperial examination and did not make an official for scholars, but he also physically abused scholars, which is really appalling!

It is no wonder that it is said that the scholars who admired the Ming Dynasty floated to the sea and went to the Americas, and those who came back disappointed were nine times out of ten.

It's ridiculous that Zhu Fugui, who doesn't know that people are better than the right time and place, actually pushed these precious young talents out!

Can you win the world immediately, and can you rule the world immediately?

As the commander of the Huai Army and the middle hall of the Qing Dynasty, Li Hongzhang can of course focus on Western learning rather than the body of middle school, but now he is Tang Guogong, who is aiming to win the Ninth Five-Year Plan!

I, Li, sit on the land of Jianghuai, invite the world's talents, when the time comes, the people are in the dynasty, there are many talents, and it is still unknown who will kill the deer in the world!

Daming is bound to collapse, and Li Tang may become the biggest winner!

This Zhu Ming worked hard to conquer the foreign captives, and in the end, it was me Li Tangda!

Firmly believe in the collapse theory of the Ming Dynasty, and dream of one day reaping the profits and inheriting the Ming legacy.

This is the real reason why Li Hongzhang gladly accepted the canonization of the Ming Dynasty and became the Duke of the Tang Dynasty of the Ming Dynasty.
