[Skill 'Lecture' breaks through Lv10 and gets free attribute points: 1, please choose a passive skill! 】
[Currently remaining free attribute points: 2]
Three cards, two purple and one blue, appeared in front of Su Ze.
It's a bit regretful. Teaching is a very important skill. Su Ze originally hoped to withdraw money.
Level 10 is already guaranteed to be blue, so the purple skills can only be said to be average.
But after turning over these three cards, Su Ze's eyes lit up again:
[Purple Passive - Teacher's Way: When teaching classics, charm +5, teaching skills +3. 】
[Purple Passive - Incitement: After completing a short inflammatory lecture, charm +5, military skills +3 within one day]
[Blue Passive—Question-solving: Question-answering process after the lecture, intelligence +2, lecture skills +2.]
How to choose between these two purple skills?
Su Ze started to think.
Now Su Ze's lecturing skill already has a passive skill, which is the golden passive skill [Eloquence].
[Golden Passive - Eloquence: The eloquent speech will amaze everyone. When debating during lectures, you will temporarily gain lecture skills +5, intelligence +3, and charm +6. 】
In other words, if Su Ze debates scriptures while lecturing, his lecturing skills are equivalent to Lv10+5. This level is enough to kill most ordinary Confucian students instantly.
According to Su Ze's observation, the teaching level of a Confucian scholar like Xu Wei who is proficient in teaching is probably between Lv10 and Lv15.
The teaching skills of those great Confucian masters who have been famous for a long time are probably above Level 15.
Grandmasters like Wang Yangming and Wang Gen who have passed away are probably only at Level 20.
In other words, Su Ze's level of lectures and debates was basically unrivaled in the Jiangnan area.
Not to mention that when Su Ze was debating scriptures, he also had the passive skill of [Six Classics Notes on Me], which is a passive skill for the imperial examination.
[Golden Passive - Six Classics Notes to Me: Write works related to the Four Books and Five Classics, and when debating the Four Books and Five Classics with others, temporarily gain imperial examination skills +5, charm +5, and intelligence +5]
In other words, when Su Ze was debating the contents of the Four Books and Five Classics with others, his imperial examination skills were Lv10+5. Charm can be +11 points, intelligence +8 points.
This is very scary. Only when lecturing and debating scriptures, Su Ze's can be said to be almost unbeatable among the scholars of the same period!
It is estimated that even if Xu Jie came down to debate the Four Books and Five Classics with Su Ze, the outcome would not be known!
In this case, there is no point in strengthening this. Su Ze thought of a mustache and pointed out the answer to himself.
Su Ze decisively chose the passive skill [Incitement].
Next are the remaining two free attribute points. Now that he has started running a school, Su Ze focuses these two skill points on charm.
Today's properties panel has become:
Su Ze, male, 26 years old.
Intelligence: 13
Strength: 12
Agility: 7
Charisma: 13
After upgrading his attribute points, Fang Aizhu opened the door and walked into the study.
"Uncle, a letter from Zhejiang."
Zhejiang?
Su Ze took the letter in confusion and saw the handwriting on the envelope, which turned out to be from Xu Wei.
Xu Wei?
Since the last incident involving Yu Dayou, cracks have appeared in the cooperative relationship between Hu Zongxian and Su Ze.
After this incident, the two parties also stopped exchanging letters.
Xu Wei was Hu Zongxian's chief conspirator, so naturally he did not continue communicating with Su Ze.
Su Ze didn't care. To be fair, Hu Zongxian's anti-Japanese work in Zhejiang was pretty good even without his own help.
After Yu Dayou was demoted to Datong, Hu Zongxian reused Qi Jiguang. He invested the money from issuing anti-Japanese coupons into Qi Jiguang's army, recruited miners from Jinhua and other places, built a navy in Zhoushan, and trained the "Qi Family Army" to fight against the Japanese.
So far this year, the coastal areas of Zhejiang have been peaceful, and no Japanese pirates have come here to gnaw hard bones.
So, what's the cost?
The price was that Japanese pirates began to harass Fujian and Guangzhou.
It can be seen from Lin Mojun's letter that after Wang Zhi broke with his old army, Xu Hai's army and Wang Zhi's army merged, completely gave up the idea of trade, and began to attack Zhangzhou Yuegang.
Fujian wrote to the imperial court many times asking for help, but because of the last incident, Hu Zongxian always stood still.
It is said that there was another fierce battle in the court. Hu Zongxian proposed that if the Zhejiang troops were to go south, Fujian must provide food and grass. Even the army's silver reward must be provided by Fujian.
Naturally, there was another tug-of-war on the Fujian side, and finally the cabinet decided to collect additional Jinghai silver to quell the Japanese in Fujian, and hand it over to various prefectures and counties to collect and collect, specifically for the Zhejiang soldiers to quell the Japanese.
After the discussion on dispatching troops was completed, there was another battle over the selection of the people to defeat Japan.
Qi Jiguang is a military general. Now the Ming Dynasty has a tradition of using civil servants to control military affairs, so a civilian official is needed to control the Zhejiang army.
There was another fierce competition for this candidate. Both Yan Dang and Qingliu wanted to promote their own people.
In the end, Zhao Wenhua, a member of the Strict Party who had repeatedly written letters to fight against the Japanese, was defeated again by Tan Lun, the current prefect of Taizhou in Qingliu. The court ordered Tan Lun to lead the Qi Army to go south to Fujian to fight against the Japanese.
Tan Lun is less than forty years old now. When he was the magistrate of Taizhou, he organized an anti-Japanese war and won three battles and three victories. He was the most capable civil servant in Zhejiang.
What's more important is his background. Tan Lun was a Jinshi in the 23rd year of Jiajing. He once served as the director of the Nanjing Ministry of Rites and became the backbone of the Qingliu Party early on.
When he later served as the magistrate of Taizhou, he also responded to the imperial court's call for regiment training to fight against the Japanese and recruited a thousand Taizhou soldiers in Taizhou. He had a good relationship with Zhejiang General Qi Jiguang and trained troops according to Qi Jiguang's methods, which quickly achieved results.
In the last Battle of Pinghu, some Japanese pirates attacked Taizhou, but they were defeated by Tan Lun. He was Qingliu's most experienced civil servant in Zhejiang.
Naturally, Tan Lun was pushed up by Qingliu.
The emperor appointed Tan Lun as the patrol commander of Zhangzhou Prefecture, and led his troops Qi Jiguang to go south to participate in the Fujian anti-Japanese war.
Su Ze opened the letter, put it on the table after reading it, and sighed slightly.
Fang Aizhu is no longer an ordinary book boy. Su Ze will discuss many things with him. Seeing Su Ze like this, Fang Aizhu asked:
"Uncle, what's wrong?"
Su Ze sneered and said: "Hu Zongxian regrets it, Qingliu is such a good move!"
Su Ze couldn't help but lament that when it came to this kind of cunning political frame-up, Su Ze really couldn't defeat these old fools.
But Su Ze has also figured it out. These guys who have been immersed in the officialdom for many years have already mastered their skills in "political struggle". Why should he fight them in the field they are good at?
Not to mention that in this field, there is an emperor who can overturn the table.
Su Ze had long given up on the idea of intervening in the political struggles of the Ming Dynasty. At least for now, his power was too small and he was not prepared to participate.
Yu Dayou's merits and qualifications can overturn his career, let alone Su Ze, a small official.
Although he didn't participate, Xu Wei still wrote to himself at this time, which made Su Ze feel a little disgusted.
Su Ze said: "Last year, Hu Zongxian passed the responsibility to Yu Shibo, which was equivalent to cutting off an arm."
"Qingliu seized the opportunity and asked Tan Lun to lead Qi Jiguang south, which was tantamount to breaking Hu Zongxian's arm again."
"Hu Zongxian relied on Yu Long and Qi Hu to fight against the Japanese in Zhejiang. Now both of his arms are broken. If the Japanese invaders come to Zhejiang again, it will be difficult for Hu Zongxian to shirk his responsibility."
Fang Aizhu did not expect that the struggle in the court would be so fierce. He asked, "Then what does Mr. Xu mean by writing to my uncle?"
Su Ze sneered and said: "They know that I created the Yuanyang Formation. Yu Shibo also praised me a lot when he was in power. The last time the Shanghai Anti-Japanese General Corps had a good record, so Xu Wei wants me to recommend another general. Go to Zhejiang to train troops to fight against the Japanese."
"In addition, Hu Zongxian wants to set up a martial arts lecture hall in Zhejiang to promote the Yuanyang Formation, and he wants me to give lectures."
Fang Aizhu asked: "That uncle?"
"Recommend, of course you have to recommend. Since he wants someone, give it to him. You ask someone to call Lin Deyang from the Anti-Japanese General Corps. I have something to say to him. As for going to the Martial Arts Hall to give lectures, let's discuss this matter later. "
"yes."
Su Ze held his chin, and he had a complicated view of Hu Zongxian.
Call him selfish, Hu Zongxian does have many shortcomings.
From Hai Rui's letter, Su Ze knew that after Hu Zongxian took office in Zhejiang, he was very indulgent towards his children and fellow villagers.
Hu Zongxian is from Jixi, Huizhou Prefecture. Today, Zhejiang's business of reselling military rations and outsourcing ordnance is done by his nephew and the township party. It is precisely because of this that Hu Zongxian is afraid of Qingliu's impeachment, so he pushes Yu Dayou out as soon as it appears. .
But you said that Hu Zongxian was selfish. He took office as the governor of Zhejiang. Now after being promoted to the governor of southern Zhejiang, he is really focused on fighting against the Japanese. He can also trust his generals and counselors wholeheartedly. He really made a turn for the better in Zhejiang's fight against the Japanese. He is worthy of it. The title of anti-Japanese hero in later generations.
In short, Hu Zongxian is a Li Dakang-style minister, capable but too proficient in power, and he will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals, so his end is reasonable.
When Fang Aizhu was about to go out, Su Ze said again:
"In addition, Xu Wenchang also wrote one thing in his letter: Wen Zhengming is dead."
Fang Aizhu was stunned for a moment, and then she remembered who Wen Zhengming was.
He is one of the four great talents in Wuzhong, alongside Tang Bohu, and is very influential in the entire cultural circle of South Zhili.
Wen Zhengming was proficient in poetry, prose, calligraphy and painting, and was known as the "Four Masters". However, he failed nine times in the examinations, but at home he often made suggestions to the court about fighting against the Japanese.
Later, when Hu Zongxian presided over the anti-Japanese war, he invited Wen Zhengming to serve as an aide, and he also gained Hu Zongxian's trust.
"Let someone bring gifts to Suzhou Mansion to express condolences. I'm busy with academic lectures, so I won't go."
The closer to this era, the more the aura of these historical figures faded, and Su Ze lost interest in collecting stamps.
He and Wen Zhengming had never been in contact. It was enough to send someone to express condolences at the house. There was no need to go there in person.
Three days later, Lin Deyang rushed back from the Anti-Japanese General Regiment after receiving the news, and Su Ze met him in the study.
"Brother Deyang, I would like to recommend you to go to Zhejiang."
"Going to Zhejiang?"
Lin Deyang was stunned for a moment.
Su Ze said: "Hu Zongxian asked me to recommend someone to go to Zhejiang to train troops. It is not the right way to stay in the Anti-Japanese General Corps."
Su Ze added: "But you have no qualifications in the military, so it is impossible for you to lead military training."
Lin Deyang lowered his head. His family had been a military household for generations, so he naturally knew the system of the Ming Dynasty's army.
If you were a scholar in the Ming Dynasty, you could pass the imperial examination and change your own and your family's destiny.
So serving as a soldier in the Ming Dynasty would have no hope at all.
Lin Mojun's family has been a hundred households for generations, and the family has remained a hundred households for seven generations.
The military households in Changningwei are also military households for generations. Like Yu Dayou and Qi Jiguang, they must first participate in martial arts competitions to have a chance to stand out.
But the martial arts examination is much more sinister than the imperial examination. Even people from hundreds of families like Lin Mojun who participate in the martial arts examination are just cannon fodder.
What, you mean meritorious service?
You don't have the chance to lead troops, how can you make meritorious deeds?
Lin Deyang can lead the Anti-Japanese General Regiment because the Anti-Japanese General Regiment is a regiment training, and the regular army of the imperial court will never use an ordinary military household general flag to lead the troops.
Su Ze said: "I am going to recommend Yu Zongyuan and Yu Shixiong to go to Zhejiang."
Yu Zongyuan?
Lin Deyang then remembered that Yu Zongyuan had passed the Fujian Martial Arts Examination and was now awarded the rank of Deputy Qianhu. His qualifications were quite acceptable.
Su Ze said: "Brother Yu has great trust in me and our Chang Ning Guard. I will write a letter here and you can take it to Fuzhou quickly and ask him if he is willing to accept the recommendation."
"One of the advantages of Brother Yu is that he listens to others' advice. If you stay by his side and help him train, you may not be unable to achieve a bright future."
Lin Deyang's eyes lit up.
A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier, so Lin Deyang naturally wants to lead the army in battle.
It's just that his background is too low, and no matter how great his performance in the Anti-Japanese General Corps is, it will be difficult for the court to reward him.
But if he follows Yu Zongyuan to Zhejiang for military training, he might really have a chance to stand out!
Su Ze said to Lin Deyang: "I also wrote a letter to Lin Baihu, asking her to recommend a group of capable guardsmen brothers to help you train in Zhejiang."
After hearing this, Lin Deyang no longer had any doubts, and he immediately said: "Thank you Mr. Su for making it happen!"
Su Ze added: "Troop training in Zhejiang is different from that in Changning Guard and Shanghai. I want to warn you."
Lin Deyang looked like he was obeying orders, and Su Ze said: "Protecting the country and the people is the virtue of a soldier. The anti-Japanese general regiment can become a soldier by resisting the Japanese, not by regiment training."
"The same is true in Zhejiang. Don't be afraid that the soldiers don't understand. Just be afraid that you can't explain why you are fighting."
"Brother Yu Shi doesn't care about specific military affairs. You have to take charge of the matter."
"If there is any deduction from above, you have to explain it clearly to the brothers below. Be fair in everything and never do anything that takes the blood of soldiers!"
Lin Deyang immediately said: "My subordinates know!"
"Bring some money with you. Zhejiang is not Southern Zhili. It is always necessary to manage the troops from top to bottom. I have written down the training methods in this book. They are all in vernacular. As long as you can do the two things in the book, 30%, this soldier is considered to be fully trained."
Lin Deyang took the book excitedly.
Su Ze looked at Lin Deyang. Sure enough, it was difficult for the soldiers of Chang Ning Wei to change their loyalty to the imperial court.
However, it is not a bad thing to be able to penetrate one's influence into Zhejiang.
When Lin Deyang left, Su Ze thought about it, a martial arts hall?
Su Ze has decided not to go to the Wushu Lecture Hall run by Hu Zongxian. If he wants to train his own people, should he also set up his own Wushu Lecture Hall?
However, the court did not care about the establishment of Tiangong Academy. If a crowd really gathered to talk about martial arts, I am afraid that the court would take the iron fist.
But something that Su Ze didn't expect was quietly fluttering his wings.
At night, in Zhenwu Camp, Nanjing.
