Chapter 270: The Plan of the Southwest United Academy
Changing the land and returning to the stream means abolishing the private kingdoms of the Tusi families in the southwest, and replacing them with the direct rule of the officials appointed by the imperial court, and implementing the same local administrative system as in the interior.
Many local people yearn for the change of land and return to the stream, and they have criticized the perverse actions of extravagant Chongming and An Bangyan in a premeditated rebellion, vain attempt to expand, become independent, and break away from the great unification of China since the Qin Dynasty.
However, families with great ambitions, such as the luxury family and the An family, have been promoting remarks unfavorable to the Ming Dynasty in their jurisdictions, so there is great resistance to strong pushing.
The discussion of changing the land and returning to the river can only be regarded as a long-term plan after the smashing of the Lu'an Rebellion, and for the pragmatic Nangao Academy disciples and the Wang Xue's disciples who attach importance to practice, the most concerned is how to quell the Lu'an Rebellion.
Because of the large number of people, Wang Hongyu did not disclose the specific plan, and only told Li Tingqian and others to act according to the previous arrangement, and it was the best policy to besiege Shuixi's family without fighting, and to surrender the army without a fight.
】
Li Tingqian, Ai Youlan, Lu Delong, Ran Zongkong and others visited the mobile library of the Beijing Academy, and were very interested in the books translated by foreigners, and recognized the library set up by Wang Hongyu.
Nangao Academy is willing to participate in the joint development of Beijing Normal Mobile Academy, Yunshan Academy and other schools.
Zou Yuanbiao and Ai Youzhi helped him a lot, Zou Yuanbiao lived in the temple, but he was poor, but as a veteran of the Donglin Party, he was able to get out of the sludge without staining, and fully supported Wang Hongyu to enter the southwest to quell the rebellion, and even the Nangao Academy was also dispatched.
Wang Hongyu is a perceptual person, while expanding his influence through Nangao Academy, he will not forget to help them, and the growth of Nangao Academy will greatly help Wang Hongyu to evaluate the southwest and implement land reform and return to the stream.
The people of Guizhou Wang Xuemen are also willing to combine knowledge and action, read sages, use swords, and can not only enter temples, but also open up mountains and forests.
At present, Wang Xue has changed from Wang Yangming's idealism to a pragmatic theory of practice, and Wang Xue's unity of knowledge and action is in line with Wang Hongyu's dialectical thought of combining theory and practice.
The rebuilding of the Longgang Academy, where Wang Yangming gave lectures after enlightenment in Guizhou, can also counter the Confucian retreat and respond with practical actions to the strange insect ideas that the government should not do anything.
In the future, the "Southwest United Academy" will be established by the Beijing Normal Mobile Academy, the Industrial and Mining Academy in Zhushan, the Yunshan Academy, and the Nangao Academy and Longgang Academy in Guizhou, plus the Ziyun Academy in Sichuan and the Canglu Academy in Yunnan, to promote the cultural and technological development of the entire southwest.
After listening to the idea of the "Southwest United School", everyone was very excited.
Especially when they heard that the content of what they learned in the academy had nothing to do with fame, these Wang Xuemen people just felt that the fame of the traditional imperial examination was not what they were chasing.
Thinking about the truth of the world, talking freely about the conscience of the world, and exploring the unity of knowledge and action are the things that the Wang Yangming school is keen on.
So in the future, the Southwest United School will have both mental and Western learning, will the two be at odds?
Can Mind Science Coexist with Western Studies?
In fact, when you think about the rise of the Japanese Kingdom, it was to hold the achievements of Chinese culture, especially the ideas and books of the Ming Dynasty, and to learn modern science from Britain and the United States with the other, and quickly became a power that cannot be underestimated in the world.
On the contrary, because the Qing Dynasty banned the thoughts, culture, and books of the late Ming Dynasty, the right to retain and interpret these achievements finally went into the hands of the Wa State.
It's really embarrassing.
When it came to the second watch that night, everyone's interest was still undiminished, but because of the fatigue of the long distance, they had to go to rest.
I was negotiating for two days.
On the third day, Wang Xuezhi of Guizhou debated with foreigners, Wang Zheng and others acted as interpreters, and Jinnige, Bi Fangji, Long Huamin and others were interpreters while debating.
After Wang Hongyu instructed them not to hurt the harmony and not to talk about nothingness, he quickly withdrew.
It is indeed possible to talk about them and convince them all.
But in that case, they are all energetic, and they will always be pestering to discuss academics.
Wang Hongyu is already a general, or a commander who is about to lead the strong armies of the provinces and fight a big battle, and it is indeed not the time to continue to do this.
Xu Xiake also communicated with them.
Knowing that everyone is talent-oriented, he also knows a friend who happens to be relatively young and has special expertise.
His name is Zhang Wanzhong, the word is buckled, and his identity is Gongsheng at this time. His father is currently serving as a servant of the imperial court, and he once had the credit for pacifying the White Lotus Sect. However, he himself was not so enthusiastic about the Four Books and the Five Classics, but liked animals, especially pigeons.
Historically, Zhang Wanzhong was a famous pigeon expert in ancient times
The "Book of Pigeons" written by him is the earliest known monograph on pigeons in China so far, and it is also the only work handed down by Zhang Wanzhong.
When he was a teenager, Zhang Wanzhong's family was wealthy, rich and noble, which created conditions for him to raise and appreciate precious pigeons, and provided the basis for writing the "Book of Pigeons".
The book is divided into six parts, namely: on pigeons, colors, flying, jumping, allusions, poems, is a study of pigeon breeds, characteristics, appreciation, breeding monographs, the full text of more than 7,000 words.
"On Pigeons" is a general treatise, which provides an overview of the biology of pigeons, the benefits of keeping pigeons, and the signs of distinguishing good breeds according to their feathers, eyes, beak, etc.
From the perspective of the pigeon's feather pattern, "Flying" from the angle of the pigeon's flight, and "Jumping" from the perspective of the jumping posture in the air, the three chapters describe and analyze more than 160 varieties.
Zhang Wanzhong is 5 years younger than Xu Xiake, and carrier pigeons play a great role in the relationship between geographical exploration and interconnection.
They are like-minded, so they have been connected for a long time.
Generally, it takes more than a year to domesticate carrier pigeons, but Zhang Wanzhonglai has already raised more than 100 pigeon at home and in Beijing.
This time, at Xu Xiake's suggestion, he directly invited Zhang Wanzhong to Yunyang or Xiangyang.
Wang Hongyu directly invested 1,000 taels for the purchase and training of more carrier pigeons, and also purchased a carriage, fast horses, and pigeon cages for pigeons.
Wang Hongyu planned for Zhang Wanzhong to set up carrier pigeon receiving stations in Beijing, Baoding, Lincheng, Qixian, Xiangyang, and Yunyang, and also took the carrier pigeons to be released and recovered at two adjacent receiving stations in advance.
Zhang Wanzhong also lived up to expectations.
The pigeons he already had, it was easy to establish the connection between Beijing-Baoding-Kaifeng-Xiangyang-Yunyang.
Personnel were placed at all five receiving stations, and the relay was carried out within a few hours of time between the two receiving stations. Not only is it convenient to contact various places, but also the communication with Wei Zhongxian and Tianqi has been accelerated.
As for Yunyang further south, it will need to train a new batch of pigeons, which is expected to be 6 months away at the earliest.
However, even for the time being, it is possible to keep in touch with pigeons.
With the pigeons, after they are released, the pigeons will find their previous station, so that they can contact them back. However, since no more liaison stations have been trained yet, they cannot receive information.
