"Xianting, Xuanchu, and virtuous son-in-law, what do you think of this "Heavenly Dynasty Tianmu System"?"

On the 10,000-volume floor in Anbu Park, Wu Sangui's old eyes seemed to be closed, leaning on a soft couch, holding a copy of "Tianchao Tianmu System" in his hand, and gently flipping it.

Wu Sangui has already carefully read this "Heavenly Dynasty Tianmu System"!

There was silence in the room. Fang Guangchen, Liu Xuanchu, and Guo Zhuangtu sat separately, and each of them also had a copy of "The Heavenly Dynasty Tianmu System", which should have been read carefully, so they all frowned, as if they were thinking hard. After a long time, it was Fang Guangchen who broke the silence: "Lord Wang, this "Heavenly Dynasty Tianmu System" is actually an improved version of the Juntian system and the government military system implemented by the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Sui and Tang Dynasties. ”

He is right, although the book borrowed a name from the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the content of the book is not Taiping Heavenly Kingdom-the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom's "Tian System" is too idealistic, and it develops egalitarianism to the extreme, almost negating private ownership. It was placed in the late Qing Dynasty, where the contradiction between man and land was extremely prominent, but it was still too difficult to implement, and it was not really implemented in the end.

Today, China has just experienced the great turmoil of the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, with serious population losses and great alleviation of the contradiction between man and land. Although the desire of the peasants to own large amounts of land remained, it was not just to have enough to eat, but to make a fortune and leave a large inheritance to future generations.

Therefore, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is not suitable for today, but the Juntian system and the government military system of the Northern Zhou, Sui and Tang Dynasties are more suitable for today's situation.

Liu Xuanchu continued: "According to this "Heavenly Dynasty Tianmu System", the land in the world will be divided into two categories: 'Koufentian' and 'Xuntian'. There are two types of land: 'ripe land' and 'wasteland'. Among them, ripe fields are not exempt from taxation, while barren fields can be exempted from taxation for five to ten years, and no matter whether they are divided into fields or hunted fields, they are not allowed to be bought and sold, but they can be inherited by descendants, unless the owner of the land has no descendants. However, if you inherit more than a certain number of Xuntian, you must take on military service! It seems that the main purpose of formulating this 'field system' is to motivate the fighting! ”

Guo Zhuangtu added: "The Tianchao Tian Mu System also stipulates the implementation of a 'land restriction system', that is, the upper limit of per capita land holdings cannot exceed 500 mu, and if it is exceeded, the state will have to buy it back, so as to prevent excessive concentration of land in the future."

In addition, the "Heavenly Dynasty System of Fields and Mu" also stipulates the three iron laws of 'equal payment', 'equal service' and 'payment of money and exemption from service', which seems to have absorbed the various drawbacks caused by the concentration of land, unfair taxation, and unfair military service in the previous Ming Dynasty. ”

A cold glint suddenly flashed in Wu Sangui's eyes, and swept over the three strategists present: "Can we implement this set of "Heavenly Dynasty Fields and Mu System"? If we implement it, can we motivate the soldiers to fight? ”

"Yes, but the effect may not be great," Liu Xuanchu frowned and thought about it, "Because the territory in our hands is vast and sparsely populated, and the land is not very valuable, and most of our soldiers and generals have also been granted fields." Still."

"But what?" Wu Sangui saw that Fang Guangchen was spitting, so he asked.

Liu Xuanchu said: "However, if we can hit Shaanxi and Gansu, which have a relatively large population, but the land is barren and the people are strong, then we can use the rich land of Sichuan to inspire Shaanxi, Gansu and Ding Zhuang to fight as soldiers. If there are 100,000 200,000 strong men in Shaanxi and Gansu, then the whole world is not at your fingertips? ”

In fact, the current population of Shaanxi and Gansu is not very large, and the contradiction between man and land is not very prominent. However, because the quality of the land in Shaanxi and Gansu is too poor and the carrying capacity of the land is relatively weak, the Zhuangding in Shaanxi and Gansu have a strong desire for land. In addition, the Shaanxi and Gansu regions were important military towns in the Ming Dynasty, with Yulin, Ningxia, Gansu, Guyuan and other important towns, the people have a strong military tradition, and since the end of the Ming Dynasty, there are many soldiers in large numbers, and under the current command of Wu Sangui, there are also many generals from Shaanxi and Gansu.

If Wu Sangui can take Sichuan, Shaanxi and Gansu in one go, and then grant the land of Sichuan, which is vast and sparsely populated, and the land of fertile Sichuan to the generals of Gansu and Shaanxi, so that they can fight for the land, then the Qing Dynasty will be hanging!

Even the strong men of Gan and Shaanxi who were mobilized by the land of Sichuan did not have much combat power, as long as there were 200,000 of them. Two hundred thousand plus one hundred thousand is three hundred thousand! Fighting for the head can also spell out the Qing Dynasty!

"Xuan Chu, do you mean that after we raise our troops, we have to go all out to fight north?" Wu Sangui frowned, as if he was a little worried.

"Lord Wang, if we want to formulate a strategy around this "Heavenly Dynasty Tianmu System", then we must fight north!" Liu Xuanchu said, "Sichuan is the country of abundance, fertile for thousands of miles, but since the end of the Ming Dynasty, there have been wars, and the population is not one in ten, and it is barren, which is just used to grant land." Shaanxi and Gansu have had many strong men since ancient times, and the Qin, Han, Sui and Tang dynasties all started from Shaanxi, and they all used the method of granting fields. If we don't go north, but go east into Huguang, this "Heavenly Dynasty Tianmu System" will not be so useful. After all, Huguang has a lot of fields in the first generation, and most of them are fertile paddy fields. If all the fields there are equalized, everyone can live and work in peace and contentment, and who is willing to help the prince fight the world? Besides, the power of the Huguang gentry is very great, and this "Heavenly Dynasty Tianmu System" is not good for them! ”

Wu Sangui's brows furrowed even tighter, "In other words, if the old man wants to use the "Heavenly Dynasty Tianmu System", he must go north to Ganshan?" ”

"Exactly!" Liu Xuanchu nodded, "We have now trained thousands of wolf cavalry, and we are no longer afraid of the Eight Banners Horse Team, and you also have a foundation in Sichuan, just going north!" ”

Wu Sangui frowned, "Although the wolf cavalry stabs people powerfully, the Eight Banners soldiers should not be underestimated. And the Guanzhong Plain is where the Eight Banners Horse Team comes in! ”

Hearing Wu Sangui say this, Liu Xuanchu knew that this prince's "instigation" had committed it again, and he must be thinking about marching into Huguang with a network of water, so as to temporarily avoid the edge of the Eight Banners Horse Team.

But the problem is that Wu Sangui's army is not a southern army that is good at fighting in the water town of Zeguo. Wu Jiajun, that is Guan Ning's old foundation, plus the "Chuang Xianyu Party" from Shaanxi and Gansu, basically no one can play the water army. The Eight Banners Horse Team of Huguang Water Township can't play, and Wu Sangui's army can't play either, so how can it be trapped in the water network and unable to move when the time comes?

When Liu Xuanchu was thinking about how to help Wu Sangui treat his "sickness", Wu Yingqi's loud voice suddenly came from outside the door: "Father, something big has happened to my father, and the Tartar court is about to attack us!" ”

Before the words fell, the door of the study room of Wanjuanlou was pushed open, and then I saw Wu Yingqi and Wu Guogui walking in one after the other, among which Wu Guogui was still holding a stack of folds in his hand, walked to Wu Sangui, and handed it over with both hands: "Father, this is a copy of the Ming Fa edict sent by Zheng Junmen in Sichuan." ”

"Mingfa Commandment?" Wu Sangui looked at the copy in Wu Guogui's hand, "So many?" What did they say? ”

Wu Guogui said: "I said three things, one is the five towns of Tuntian, the imperial court wants to set up Jingzhou, Changsha, Chengdu, Chongqing, Guilin four Tuntian camps, and by Ezha, Shi Huashan, Sun Sike, Leerjin, Wang Fuchen and other five people as the president of the Tuntian affairs minister, each led 10,000 eight banners or the green camp new army to the south to garrison the tuntian.

The second is the replacement of the two feudal domains, first by Wang Fuchen escorted the prince of Pingnan, Shang Zhixin, to Guangzhou to replace Shang Kexi to preside over the Pingfan domain, and then by Prince An Yue Le led a town and eight banners of the new army to escort my eldest brother to Yunnan to assist your father! ”

Wu Yingqi said excitedly: "Father. It seems that the imperial court is going to divide the troops into five ways to encircle and suppress us this time! Quickly come up with an idea, who are we going to hit first, and who are we going to hit later? ”

"Lord Wang," Liu Xuanchu said with a smile, "It seems that this Kangxi still can't fight!" Not to mention that the soldiers are divided into five ways, and they are so far apart, how can they form a joint force? Let's just break each one! ”

Wu Sangui asked, "Do you know which way Yue Le took?" ”

"I don't know yet," Mr. Wu said, "but it shouldn't be possible to come from the direction of Guangxi." ”

Wu Yingqi said: "Father, we don't care where he comes from, let's just follow one direction!" ”

Wu Sangui glanced at Wu Yingqi: "You don't care about Big Brother Ling?" ”

Wu Yingqi hurriedly shut up and was silent - now there are already people in Yunnan chewing their tongues, saying what "Wu Shimin" he is.

Wu Guogui said: "Father, we have more soldiers and less food, and it is difficult for the soldiers to last. The child suggested that the troops could be divided into two ways and attack Sichuan and Huguang at the same time! ”

"Where is the right place to attack?" Wu Sangui asked.

Wu Guogui said: "Where Yue Le is, the main attack is there!" ”

Wu Sangui lowered his head heavily, and seemed to have made a lot of determination: "Okay! That's it! Yue Le is the only remaining Manchurian general" He clenched his fists again, gritted his teeth and said: "As long as you can defeat him, there will be nothing to fear in the future!" ”

When Wu Sangui was determined to overcome his late illness and prepare for a big battle with Yue Le, the last general of the Qing Dynasty, he designed him step by step to the current situation Wang Zhongxiao, the culprit who wants to be a loyal minister who supports the army and respects himself, is looking for "witnesses" in this eastern Zhejiang area with Zhou Chang, Wang Shiyuan, and Wang Zhongyi!

However, the "witness" he is looking for is not a witness who helped him frame the traitor, but a "witness" from the "Witness Academy"!

The so-called "Witness Academy" is not a school that specializes in training witnesses, but means "proving humanity". The founder of this academy is the late Ming Dynasty Confucian Liu Zongzhou, Zong Zhou's study to be cautious and independent, is specialized in the study of how to be a moral gentleman, and thought that human nature is good, born with benevolence, righteousness, etiquette and wisdom, as long as the Confucian clearly proves human nature, always maintain it, that is, Shen Du Gong, can be a sage.

And this set of knowledge of "proving human nature" was finally proved wrong after being studied a lot by Liu Zongzhou and a group of other Confucian scholars in eastern Zhejiang, because there are people in this world who are both "good in nature" and people who are not human beings! When the nature of goodness meets not being a person, then no one will do it!

Therefore, Mr. Liu Zongzhou, who pursued the study of Shendu all his life, could only prove his morality by going on a hunger strike and martyrdom, but at the same time, he also proved the truth that he could not be a good person by relying on Shendu.

After Liu Zongzhou's death, the Witness Academy he founded was suspended for a time, and it was not until two or three years ago that it was re-established by another great Confucian in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, Huang Zongxi.

The main place of activity of the reopened Witness Academy is no longer Shaoxing Mansion, but moved to the next door Ningbo Mansion, and its main activity location is in a separate courtyard of the large landlord Wanjia in Ningbo, so it is called Yongshang Witness Academy.

The main purpose of Wang Zhongxiao's departure from Suzhou to Ningbo in the name of searching for Ao Bai and Tiandihui's henchmen was to find the Yongshang Witness Academy, from where he invited a group of Confucians to go to Zhaoqing Mansion in Guangdong to open the Restoration School.

According to Wang Zhongxiao's plan, the revolution of the Tiandihui should not only divide the land at the bottom, but also have the true truth and new knowledge aimed at the middle and upper classes, and at the same time also need to cultivate military and technical backbones. Moreover, even if the land is equalized, it is necessary to enlist the support of a number of Confucian scholars as much as possible—after all, the system of equalizing land is not a complete equal division, but a system of military mobilization using land distribution as a means.

If the Confucian scholars want to occupy a little more land, then go to the army to fight and accumulate military merits!

And the Guangdong Restoration School is a tool used to win over some Confucian scholars.

Therefore, at this moment, the Yongshang Witness Academy in the Wanshi Manor outside Yinxian County, Ningbo, ushered in a group of "great benevolent people" carrying swords, muskets, "The World is Public" and "The Heavenly Dynasty Tianmu System".

Huang Zongxi, who was already old, quite thin, wearing a gray cloth robe and a certain gray hood on his head, didn't want to come forward to receive these uninvited guests, but when he saw the full text of "The World is Public" and "The Heavenly Dynasty Tianmu System", he immediately knew that something bad was going on - this was someone who took the "Mingyi Interview Record" he wrote and passed on to future generations!

Huang Zongxi was a thinker, but he was not a revolutionary. He just thought about it, reflected on it, and then quietly wrote a few anti-books for the "Ming Jun" of future generations, and did not want to use this "Ming Yi Interview Record" to confront the Qing Dynasty.

But I didn't expect that someone would take his half of "Mingyi to be Interviewed" and change the name of "The World is Public" to make trouble, and even more. This group of people did not copy the whole book, but copied half of it, and changed the "field system" to "Harada", and then wrote the "Heavenly Dynasty Tianmu System" on the basis of "Harada"!

And after these two rewrites, the rebellious spirit in "Mingyi to be Interviewed" has been strengthened to the maximum, and it has become a rebel program!

This world. I'm afraid it's going to be a big mess!

This Da Ming. I'm going to come back!

Thinking of this, Huang Zongxi's face was cloudy and uncertain for a while-scared!

It's not that he is afraid of chaos in the world, but that he was blocked in his own academy by several Qing Dynasty officials with anti-books related to him, is this to be "sanctified"?

"Mr. Lizhou!" When Huang Zongxi was afraid, Wang Zhongxiao had already spoken with an easy-going face, "These two anti-books have been widely circulated in Jiangsu recently, I wonder if Mr. has seen them here in Zhejiang?" ”

"No, no." Huang Zongxi hurriedly shook his head, "It's not a secret, it's the first time the old man has seen such an article." ”

Hmm, this is not "Mingyi to be interviewed", but "The World is Public" and "The Heavenly Dynasty Tianmu System", which are different!

"Oh, how's that written?" Wang Zhongxiao said with a smile, "Mr. Lizhou, I don't read much, and I don't know much about the 'original monarch' and 'original minister' in front of me, so I think the last 'Yuantian' is good, the "Tianchao Tianmu System" is also very good, and the "Datong Song" is also good!" What do you think of your elderly? This emperor asked me, how should I answer? ”

What? Didn't you come to arrest me? Huang Zongxi's heart was relaxed for a while, but he didn't dare to relax completely, "Wang Guard, you came all the way to Ningbo just to ask this?" ”

"No," Wang Zhongxiao said, "the younger generation came to the Witness Academy in order to find a few gentlemen who were proficient in Confucianism for my father to go to Guangdong to run the Restoration Academy. ”

What? Is the human nature of King Lu Bu's Fuchen inherently good? It's impossible! Huang Zongxi said in his heart: It seems that my teacher's knowledge is still lacking. It's right that human nature is inherently good, but not everyone is human! If there is no humanity, how can there be any goodness?

Huang Zongxi, who has made some progress in learning, asked: "Wang Shiwei, is the word 'idealism' in the Idealism Academy you mentioned taken from the Huayan Sutra's 'If people want to know, all Buddhas in the three worlds should contemplate the Dharma realm, and all idealism creates'?" ”

"It's not this idealism," Wang Zhongxiao said with a smile, "Can you borrow pen and ink?" ”

Huang Zongxi turned around and said to a fat man in his thirties with a Chinese character face and a big forehead beside him: "Ji Ye, get pen, ink and paper for the Wang guard." ”

"Yes, Teacher."

The fat man quickly brought Wang Zhongxiao a piece of rice paper and a brush dipped in ink, and Wang Zhongxiao picked up the brush and wrote on the paper the words "Restoration Academy", "Restoration Society", and "Reform Reform".

Seeing Wang Zhongxiao's words, the fat man showed a surprised expression - Wang Fuchen's son seems to be a little learned.

"The Restoration?" Huang Zongxi looked at the paper handed by the student and asked with some curiosity, "What kind of knowledge is this society engaged in?" ”

"Neo-Confucianism!" Wang Zhongxiao said, "My father and Jingnan Wang Shizi, Pingnan Wang Shizi, and Dingnan Gege often discussed Confucianism together, and they all felt that Mr. Qishan's knowledge was very clever, and they also felt that they were kind-hearted, so they wanted to set up a reform society in Liangguang and Fujian, and open some reform academies, on the one hand, to teach Mr. Qishan's way of witnessing; On the one hand, some Shaoxing masters were hired to teach the knowledge of criminal names, money valleys, literature, water conservancy, and construction.

In the future, the talents educated by the Restoration Academy will not only have the kindness to the world and the people, but also have the ability to govern the world and help the people. ”
