Chapter 984: The Four Masters of the Ming Dynasty
At this moment, another system announcement sounded.
"World Announcement: To celebrate the game's fourth year of operation, the system will hold the second global auction at 10 a.m. on January 5 of Gaia, so stay tuned! Friendly reminder: To participate in the global auction, the personal fund must not be less than 1 million gold coins. ”
……
Gaia was quite humane this time, giving everyone a buffer time to sort out the new system updates and expansions, and there was no rush to hold the auction.
In the blink of an eye, it was January 1 of the fifth year of Gaia.
For Ouyang Shuo, the top priority is naturally a new round of hidden architectural calling, in addition to the routine recruitment hall, there are also three hidden buildings: the Dian Jiangtai, the Ten Thousand Towers and the Golden Terrace.
Maybe Ouyang Shuo's [Fuyuan] is profound, and after a round of summoning, he has gained a lot, and I don't know if it is a coincidence, or Gaia specially arranged it, the civil and military ministers summoned this time are all from the Ming Dynasty.
The Zhaoxian Pavilion summoned a Ming Dynasty prime minister - Yan Song.
[Name]: Yan Song (Imperial Rank)
[Dynasty]: Ming Dynasty
[Identity]: Civil official of Great Xia
[Occupation]: Civil official
[Loyalty]: 75 points
[Commander]: 45 [Force]: 35 [Intelligence]: 80 [Politics]: 88
[Specialty]: Power Minister (increase the administrative efficiency of the dynasty by 20%, increase the financial revenue of the dynasty by 5%, and improve the governance level of the dynasty by 10%)
[Evaluation]: Although the peacock is poisonous, it cannot hide the article, and it is also public. However, what he did, after all, it was not that he scribes had talent and no deeds to be able to save the comparison, so although the chant worked, only his eyes remained, in order to show the righteousness of the scum.
"History of the Ming Dynasty" listed Yan Song as one of the six traitorous ministers of the Ming Dynasty, saying that Yan Song had no other talents, but only flattered, stole power and profit, stole government for 20 years, indulged in evil sons, poisoned the world, and was regarded as a traitor.
Chinese people like to distinguish between black and white, either good people or bad people, either loyal subjects or traitors, or either/or. But people forget that there is a golden mean, impartiality.
Yan Song has been smart and smart since he was a child, and his thinking is quick, he is raised at the age of nineteen and the jinshi at the age of twenty-six.
His private life is also very serious and decent, almost impeccable, and he has only married one wife from the Ouyang family in his life. Ouyang is one year older than Yan Song, and he still has a pockmarked face, but the relationship between husband and wife is very good, from the beginning to the end, Yan Song did not have a group of wives and concubines because he was in a high position as prime minister.
The emperor Yan Song has been waiting for all his life is Jiajing Emperor Ming Shizong, who likes and dislikes impermanence, weifu self-discipline, accompanied by this monarch, like a deep walk, like a daughter-in-law, angry at both ends.
In the final analysis, Yan Song is just Emperor Jiajing's scapegoat, carrying the black pot and blocking the sword for Emperor Jiajing.
Yan Song's official residence has been the first assistant for more than ten years, and his property after being raided is not as good as the property of Xu Jie, a famous loyal minister of the same era. Xu Jie, Zhang Juzheng and other first assistants have an excellent reputation among the people and even in history books, but their wealth is beyond the reach of the famous corrupt official Yan Song.
It can be seen that people's words are terrifying.
Of course, Yan Song can't be said to be a good official, he clings to his superiors, suppresses political enemies, and connives, and connives, it is a fact that his son Yan Shifan is murderous, and if he evaluates it neutrally, Yan Song can be regarded as a powerful minister with great ability.
For such a powerful minister, it depends on how the monarch uses it.
Ouyang Shuo was full of courage and directly recruited Yan Song into the cabinet as the cabinet elder and ranked in the center. For such an old man, Ouyang Shuo only instructed: "Pavilion Elder, this king has a word first, and Yan Shifan will never be an official." ”
Yan Song's cloudy eyes flashed with a glimmer of essence, and he bowed down and said, "King Shengming!" ”
Historically, Yan Shifan was actually a time bomb deliberately arranged by Emperor Jiajing, which was used to trap Yan Song, which can be described as a model of "pit father".
…………
The Qing official recruited by the Ten Thousand Towers is none other than Wang Shouren, the master of mental learning.
[Name]: Wang Shouren (Imperial Rank)
[Dynasty]: Ming Dynasty
[Identity]: Civil official of Great Xia
[Occupation]: Civil official
[Loyalty]: 75 points
[Commander]: 75 [Force]: 40 [Intelligence]: 88 [Politics]: 75
[Specialty]: Mind (increase the administrative efficiency of the dynasty by 20%, increase the level of the dynasty school by 20%)
【Works】: "Wang Wencheng Gongquanshu"
[Evaluation]: Wang Wencheng is a first-rate figure in the Ming Dynasty, and his morality, meritorious service, and speech are all at the top.
Wang Shouren, because he once built a room in Yangmingdong of Huiji Mountain, called himself Yangmingzi, the master of Lu Wang's mind, proficient in Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism.
In the twelfth year of Hongzhi, he successively served as the director of the Criminal Department, Guizhou Longchang Yicheng, Luling Zhixian, the right Yushi, the governor of Nanjiang, the governor of Liangguang, etc., and in his later years, he went to the Nanjing Military Department Shangshu and the Imperial History of the Left Capital of the Imperial Palace.
Because of the military merits of the rebellion in the pacification of Chenhao, he was named a new uncle, and the new marquis was posthumously presented during the Longqing period, and he was Wencheng, so the descendants were also called Wang Wencheng.
As the master of the study of mind, Wang Shouren is known as Confucius, Mencius, the founder of Confucianism, Mencius, and Zhu Xi, the master of science.
For 500 years, the source of Confucianism has been in Wang Yangming's "unity of knowledge and action".
Wang Yangming's philosophy that has always been criticized by people is a major achievement in the history of the development of the Chinese nation's intelligence, and there are not too many people who are qualified to criticize it today.
Mr. Yang Ming, who appeared in front of Ouyang Shuo, was thin and his cheeks were sunken, as if he was a cultivator in the mountains, rather than an officialdom.
Ouyang Shuo said: "Old Master Confucius is studying in the Southwest University Hall, is Mr. willing to follow suit?" ”
In both public and private, Ouyang Shuo hopes that Xinxue can shine more brightly in Daxia. I don't want Wang Yangming to just smile slightly, and said: "Mental learning pays attention to the unity of knowledge and action, and it cannot be perfected in the school. ”
Ouyang Shuo suddenly said with a smile: "Good! There is a lack of a governor in the northern province of Sichuan, and Mr. can go to him. ”
Wang Yangming bowed from afar and took over the position.
…………
The historical talent recruited by Jinjintai is none other than Yan Song's most proud protégé Hu Zongxian.
[Name]: Hu Zongxian (Imperial Rank)
[Dynasty]: Ming Dynasty
[Identity]: Civil official of Great Xia
[Occupation]: Civil official
[Loyalty]: 75 points
[Commander]: 72 [Force]: 40 [Intelligence]: 80 [Politics]: 85
[Specialty]: Loyalty to the country (increase the administrative efficiency of the dynasty by 20%, improve the level of governance of the dynasty by 10%)
[Evaluation]: Zongxian has many powers, likes fame, and is talented, and Emperor Jiajing called it the southeast pillar.
Hu Zongxian's family was born in Jinyiwei for generations, and in the nineteenth year of Jiajing, he was awarded the official as the county commander of Yidu County, Qingzhou Prefecture, Shandong, and moved to Zhejiang to supervise the imperial history, and was an official for 29 years, loyal to the country.
During the period of the southeast Japanese rebellion, he served as the governor of Zhejiang, and the resistance to the Japanese was strong.
By the 41st year of Jiajing, Hu Zongxian had won an unprecedented victory in the anti-Japanese struggle, gradually quelling the Japanese plague in Zhejiang and beginning to exterminate the Japanese in Fujian.
never thought that the day when Hu Zongxian was finished, that is, when his bad luck came.
In the same year, Yan Song, the first assistant of the cabinet, was dismissed, and his son Yan Shifan was arrested. Hu Zongxian, as a member of the "strict party," had no backers in the DPRK and the central government, and at the behest of Xu Jie, the new cabinet's first assistant, Lu Fengyi impeached Hu Zongxian on ten major charges, including embezzlement of military salaries, excessive taxation, and party protection of Yan Song.
In the forty-fourth year of Jiajing, two years after Hu Zongxian was dismissed, he was again escorted to Beijing, where he committed suicide after writing the poem "The sword buries the wronged prisoner, and the loyal soul surrounds the white clouds".
In the sixth year of Longqing, the imperial court rehabilitated Hu Zongxian and pursued Xiangmao.
Ouyang Shuo naturally cherished a capable talent like Hu Zongxian, but he did not immediately arrange any position for Hu Zongxian.
With Hu Zongxian's talent, the best place to go is the governor's province, but at the moment, there is no vacancy in any province, Ouyang Shuo plans to wait for Annan to take it, and then make plans.
Ouyang Shuo said: "Ruzhen doesn't have to be anxious, first watch the government in the imperial court, and this king has his own arrangements." ”
"Wechen understands!"
Now that Yan Song has entered the cabinet, Hu Zongxian is naturally not in a hurry.
…………
The military generals recruited by Dianjiangtai still have a relationship with Hu Zongxian, and it is Qi Jiguang, a famous anti-Japanese general in the Ming Dynasty.
[Name]: Qi Jiguang (Imperial Level)
[Dynasty]: Ming Dynasty
[Identity]: General of Great Xia
[Profession]: Senior general
[Loyalty]: 75 points
[Commander]: 78 [Force]: 70 [Intelligence]: 50 [Politics]: 55
[Specialty]: Anti-Japanese Famous General (Increases the attack power of the troops by 25%, increases the naval combat level of the troops by 15%, and increases the marching speed by 20%)
[Works]: "New Book of Discipline and Effectiveness" and "Documentary of Military Training"
[Evaluation]: Jiguang is the general who has strict orders, rewards and punishments, and no one dares to die. Biao power generation, repeatedly destroyed the great Kou, and the prestige shook the world.
Qi Jiguang trained his troops in a good way, and the new army he trained was called the "Qi Family Army."
The created Mandarin Duck Array and the Che Battalion are powerful in the world, and they are called sharp weapons to fight against the Japanese invaders.
Qi Jiguang was also an outstanding weapons expert and military engineer, who transformed and invented various fire attack weapons and improved weapons and equipment, such as Qi's saber and the wolf sword specially aimed at the Japanese invaders.
The large and small warships and chariots built made the Ming army's waterway equipment superior to that of the enemy.
In addition, Qi Jiguang creatively built a hollow enemy platform on the Great Wall, which can be attacked, retreated, and defended, which is a very distinctive military project.
Ouyang Shuo did not hesitate to treat such a famous general as Qi Jiguang, and directly appointed Qi Jiguang as the commander of the naval division of the coastal fleet, and immediately went to his post to be responsible for confronting the three major fleets of the [Yanhuang League] in the north.
At this point, the military generals of the Ming Dynasty occupied half of the Great Xia Navy and were the mainstay of the navy.
…………
Since the beginning of Emperor Jiajing, the Ming Dynasty has suffered internal and external troubles, and it is a dynasty full of tragedy. In addition to Wang Yangming, Yan Song, Hu Zongxian and Qi Jiguang all ended up miserable.
Not only them, but also the extremely famous Xu Jie, Zhang Juzheng, Hai Rui and others, none of them got a good death, and they all ended in tragedy.
It can be said that it was the tragedy of an entire era.
Perhaps it was the arrangement of fate that these capable ministers and famous generals gathered in the Great Xia Dynasty, were entrusted with important tasks by Ouyang Shuo, and threw themselves into a great wave of times completely different from the Ming Dynasty.
Ouyang Shuo expects that these people can bring a new atmosphere to Daxia, and today's Daxia will never repeat the mistakes of Daxia and become a trendsetter in the global wave.
And just when Ouyang Shuo met with Yan Song and others, the Central Plains suddenly underwent drastic changes.
