"What does General Yang think of today's Ming Dynasty?" Zhang Tianru asked, looking at Yang Fan with bright eyes.
Yang Fan sighed, there was no point in telling lies. "In today's situation, Ming Dynasty has long been terminally ill, like a soup about to boil, or like sitting on a stove."
Zhang Tianru clapped his hands and said, "I really think the hero has the same idea."
Yang Fan looked at him without speaking and answered him with silence.
"The general believes that the crux of today's Ming Dynasty is. How to resolve it."
Yang Fan said calmly: "Please give me some advice, sir."
"The problem with today's situation is that the government is not upright, and the court is full of villains. All the officials in the court are selfish and short-sighted. The clan, nobles, relatives, and eunuchs are all cancers of the Ming Dynasty. Only by removing these cancers Only by cutting it off can there be hope for the Ming Dynasty."
Yang Fan sneered in his heart. After all, it was still the same prescription, nothing new.
Those cancerous tumors are all small tumors. There is a big tumor. I wonder if Mr. Zhang Tianru is willing to cut it off.
"Isn't it now that the gentlemen of Donglin have returned to the Jinluan Palace, and the court is full of justice again? It must be just around the corner to cut off these tumors. Yang Fan is here to congratulate all the gentlemen." Yang Fan said and cupped his hands.
Zhang Tianru smiled bitterly and said: "General Yang is also a hero in the country, so he naturally has extraordinary knowledge. It is meaningless to talk like this. Every man has a duty to deal with the rise and fall of the world. Ming Dynasty is everyone's home, why should a general hide his clumsiness? Why should he be like this?"
Zhang Cai and others all despised Yang Fan and looked at Yang Fan with contempt.
Just a martial artist, what kind of pattern can he have?
Yang Fan smiled and said: "It's a good saying that ordinary people are responsible for the rise and fall of the world. When the world rises, ordinary people need to be responsible. They are not supposed to farm the fields, but to dig up excrement. On the contrary, the world is about to perish. It’s really strange that the responsibility has become that of a common man.”
After saying this, Yang Fan had an expression on his face that said, "I don't know enough, please don't coax me."
Lin Yueru, Xiao Niangpi and the others were eating delicious pot stickers. When they heard these words, they couldn't help but burst into laughter.
The master always speaks so sharply and interestingly, and often leaves people breathless.
Yes, these are words to fool fools.
None of the young ladies in the Yang family's back house are fools, they are all shrewd.
Only in later generations, when the people are the masters of the country, will this sentence truly have the practical significance.
Now in this feudal dynasty, when the world is good, all men are cattle and horses. When the world is about to fall, ordinary people are just cannon fodder driven into battle by warlords.
The common people are responsible for their woolen work, and it's not the same if their brains are sick.
This kind of statement appears because the happy life of literati is about to disappear, and they are just jumping over the wall.
Even though they are good at bullying the common people, they are useless when it comes to slave-building and rogue bandits. Can only be blinded.
This is why we need to invent some specious theories to fool fools into working hard. It says that you have a share in this world and must rise up. Don’t feel inferior because of your humble background.
I'm optimistic about you!
The people who said this were quite excited.
It's like drinking ice water in the dog days of summer and just reading "Reader's Digest", giving you the illusion of increased intelligence. It seemed that he was no longer so mean all of a sudden.
You must rise up and take responsibility, shed your blood and sacrifice your life, and establish a new order. (So that we can restore our good clothing and food.)
This statement is shameless, inflammatory, and makes no sense.
Because the feudal dynasty does not represent the interests of ordinary people.
Once the new order is established, it's time for the common man to get out. Get up quickly and start farming, working, and picking up manure. Don't be an eyesore to the gentlemen here. I don’t even take pictures of myself by peeing.
Zhang Cai and the other three people were all excited when they heard Zhang Tianru say such wonderful words. Look, this is Mr. Zhang Tianru, and the truth he said is noble.
As a result, before he was happy for three minutes, he was yelled at by Yang Fan, as if his mouth was stuffed with horse dung.
Zhang Tianru was stunned and speechless.
Because what Yang Fan said is true, and facts speak louder than words. Unless he's talking nonsense regardless of his status. In this case, Yang Fan would not take him seriously.
Moreover, Yang Fan knew that Zhang Tianru did not say these words. He is just picking on people's wits.
Zhang Tianru was silent for a moment, stood up and raised his hands to Yang Fan and said, "I've learned a lesson. I don't know what General Yang thinks of the current situation."
Yang Fan looked at Zhang Tianru. This person was actually somewhat different from Dong Lin.
He still has ideals and feelings of family and country in his heart. After all, he was still young at this time and had not fully become a politician. The most important thing is that he is very ambitious, and Dong Lin can no longer control him.
He could give some support and give Dong Lin some eye drops in Jiangnan.
"I remember Donglin Academy was established in the Song Dynasty." Yang Fan said something meaningless.
Zhang Tianru's eyes narrowed, this Yang Fan was not simple.
Donglin Academy is one of the famous academies in ancient times. Founded in the first year of Zhenghe in the Northern Song Dynasty (AD 1111), it was the place where Yang Shi (named Guishan), the Neo-Confucian scholar Cheng Hao and Cheng Yi's direct descendants and the famous scholar Yang Shi (named Guishan) of the Northern Song Dynasty, gave lectures for a long time.
The Jiangnan scholar-bureaucrat group entered the court in the early years of the Northern Song Dynasty when King Wu Yue peacefully surrendered to the Northern Song Dynasty. From then on, they entered the stage of history. They profoundly affected the historical process of the two Song Dynasties.
The capital of the Southern Song Dynasty was in Hangzhou, which was their territory, and the emperor was in their hands.
The emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty was quite troublesome.
None of Zhao Gou's children grew up, and in the end the throne was returned to Zhao Kuangyin's family. It doesn't matter that Zhao Guangyi's family has many candidates for the clan.
The emperors of the Southern Song Dynasty abdicated their affairs whenever possible. The three emperors before the founding of the People's Republic of China all abdicated their affairs.
There is no such thing as abdication in history. If you don't put a knife to your neck, who is willing to abdicate? It can only mean that this is the intention of Jiangnan civil servants. The emperor is just a puppet.
As for the kneeling statue in front of Yue Fei's tomb, some people say that the real murderer is Zhao Gou, but this is not the case. He can't even decide whether he can have a child or whether the child can grow up. In the end, even the throne was returned to Song Taizu. It can only mean that he is really just a puppet.
Who in the right mind would do this?
Historically, it was very important to locate the capital there, as it required the support of the surrounding gentry and was also easily controlled by the surrounding gentry.
For example, Cao Cao made his capital Xuchang. The political significance was that he united with the noble families in Henan and gained their support.
After that, he seemed to be cheating, defeating Yuan Shao's group and attacking Wuhuan Xianbei. Annexed Liu Biao's territory. Until the north is unified.
These are the results of the strong support behind the scenes of the Henan gentry clan.
Xun Yu and others were their independent directors sent to the Dahan company to supervise the company's operations.
The reason why Cao Cao wanted to move the capital to Yecheng was to establish the Duke of Wei. After the North was basically pacified, they finished using them and wanted to get rid of their control.
The fundamental reason why Cao Cao was able to hold real power was that the army was under the control of the Cao family and the Xiahou family. However, with the unification of the north and long-term peace, the administrative and bureaucratic forces represented by civilian officials will control the country.
Cao Cao understood that if this continued, the Cao family would sooner or later be replaced by the Henan clan. The subsequent rise of Sima Yi also proved this point.
Unfortunately, Cao Pi was soft. As soon as he came to the throne, he surrendered to the Henan scholar-bureaucrat group and moved the capital back to Luoyang.
The Henan gentry supported him in abolishing the Han Dynasty and establishing his own emperor.
He has been educated by scholar-bureaucrats since he was a child and has been brainwashed. He does not understand the true truth here at all, or he understands it in his heart but does not have the courage to fight.
After that, the emperors of the descendants of Cao Wei became weaker and weaker, and were even less able to move the capital, until they watched the Sima family become stronger and were eventually replaced.
Moving the capital from Henan to Hebei means that Cao Cao will be out of their control. The people of Henan will definitely not let him go. Once the capital is moved, it means that they will be marginalized in the court.
The matter of moving the capital became the focus of the struggle between Cao Cao and the Henan gentry.
Seeing the opportunity coming, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty also took the opportunity to act like a monster, hoping to win over the Henan nobles to support him, replace Cao Cao, and get rid of Cao Cao.
Then all the clothing and belt edicts came out.
The climax of the struggle was the Battle of Chibi.
Cao Cao was defeated in this battle, and his military began to go downhill from then on. There is no longer the same vigor as before. After parting ways, Cao Cao suffered a great loss in strength and never made any obvious military progress. The situation of the three kingdoms was formed.
The defeat in Chibi was because someone was sabotaging and deliberately making him lose the war. This is the biggest warning given to Cao Cao by the vested interest groups in Henan that control the court.
Without us, you will be in darkness.
The Donglin Party emerged in the Northern Song Dynasty and has a long history.
The Ming Dynasty is just a resurgence.
In the Ming Dynasty, the scholar-officials from Jiangnan rebuilt Donglin Academy, marking the return of the Donglin Party as king in the Ming Dynasty.
