Chapter 604: The Industrial Party is born

Please enter the text The appearance of Chang Wei not only made Wang realize the strategy of clearing the field in Jin Jianbi and fighting the Shanhaiguan battle, but also made Yuan Keli's strategy of strengthening Dongjiang Town and consolidating the Korean defense line more perfect. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

In fact, Chang Wei's plan to enter the Whale Sea (Sea of Japan) from the sea off the coast of Korea and attack Houjin Laowo from the flank and rear is a variant of Yuan Keli's plan, which is a more aggressive and strategic plan.

This kind of strategy can only be proposed by Chang Wei, because only his fleet of sailors has the ability to fight across the sea!

As for Wang Zaijin's plan to clear the wilderness, why can only Chang Wei mention it? Because he is not afraid!

There are three major problems in order to realize Wang Zaijin's plan: drifting, crime, and false name!

If Ningyuan and Jinzhou were abandoned and only Shanhaiguan was guarded, there would be no need for a large amount of grain from the south of the Yangtze River to be transported to Liaodong, and there would be no drifting, and a financial route for the court officials would be cut off. Cutting off people's financial means is like killing their parents, and this first problem is very big.

But Chang Wei is not afraid!

In less than a year, he released more than 800 Donglin Parties, killed more than 200 people who should have been killed a long time ago, offended the capitals of the two capitals and 13 provinces in the two capitals and 13 provinces, offended millions of clans by cutting the feudal domain, and offended the Donglin Party and the Jiangnan family at a tenth-rate rate. If the impeachment of Xu Xianchun was only a small offense to the eunuchs, then scolding Wei Liangqing today and beating Cui Yingyuan's spine would greatly offend the eunuchs.

Looking at it this way, Chang Wei has almost offended Donglin and the eunuch party from top to bottom, and all the people who can be offended, so what else is there to be afraid of? Are you afraid of offending a little more people? It is better to take advantage of the situation to do something big, and it will be done, and all those who oppose him will be put to rest, and if he is defeated, he will just offend a group of more people, and he will not be itchy if there are more lice, and he will not worry if he has more debts!

He had just conquered the 2,000-mile grassland in southern Monan, defeated Haoge, and tens of thousands of troops were stationed in Daning's hometown as a barrier to the north of Jizhou, defending the border town that stretched for 2,000 miles from Shanhaiguan in the east to Juyongguan in the west.

From then on, if Houjin wanted to enter the Kou from Jizhen, Jiumen, Jielingkou, Taolinkou, Liujiakou, Lengkou, Qingshankou, Dongjiakou, Xifengkou, Panjiakou, Longjing Pass, Malan Pass, Huangya Pass, Jiangjun Pass, Qiangzi Road, Gubeikou, Huanghuaguan, Badaling and other places, he had to first eliminate the 45,000 guns and cavalry mixed elite soldiers under Chang Wei, otherwise, once he got close to the Great Wall to which Jizhen belonged, he would immediately be attacked from the north and south, not to mention entering the Kou, it would take a lot of effort to escape!

Therefore, this alone, Chang Wei's contribution is incredible, because Chang Wei's cavalry blocked the shortcut for Hou Jin to enter the Kou Jing Division, as long as this cavalry is there, the emperor and the imperial court will no longer worry that the steppe cavalry of Hou Jin and Tatar will touch the Great Wall and kill outside Beijing!

Since Chang Wei has such a great merit, would he still be afraid of the crime of abandoning the land of Ningjin for four hundred miles? Obviously not afraid!

The third problem is the false name, with Chang Wei's miraculous achievements in front, 'recovering' the four hundred li of Ning Jin that no one occupies is not called credit at all, and the best way to block this false name is to let the emperor issue an edict: 'Recover' Ning Jin is useless and not rewarded.

This is one of the purposes of Yuan Keli to summon Wang Zaijin and others to discuss today!

Yuan Keli, Wang Zaijin and others are naturally the promoters of this strategy, Chang Kuan originally did not participate in these things, only doing his own work, but now he can't help himself and has to be involved in these battles.

First, he is a scholar of the university, a scholar of the household department, and the border towns, Liaodong and the place where the whole Ming Dynasty uses money must eventually be signed by him to pass it, otherwise, the emperor's edict is useless, because now Chang Kuan is already the great housekeeper of the Ming Dynasty, which is also his own job; second, he is Chang Wei's elder brother, even if he does not participate in the political struggle, others will regard him as the boss of Chang Wei's camp, at this time the personal will is no longer useful, not fighting, besides, with Chang Wei's current momentum, the Chang family is a prosperous and a loss, there is no choice, we must spare no effort to support Chang Wei。

Sun Yuanhua is a person who opposes Wang Zaijin's plan, but now he can only change his position, because Chang Wei has compensation here! This is the second thing discussed today -- running a school!

In the middle of the year, Chang Wei proposed to set up schools in various feudal palaces, which should not only teach the four books and five classics of the sages examined in the imperial examination, but also teach mathematics, geometry, physics, chemistry, and machinery.

In the matter of running a school in the mansion of the vassal king, the court and even all the scholars in the world supported it, but the court only supported the former, and only agreed to run the school and teach the Four Books and Five Classics, and did not support the latter, the five subjects proposed by Chang Wei.

As soon as the news came out, Xu Guangqi, Sun Yuanhua, and Bi Maokang, the three masters of Western studies in the Machine Bureau, immediately wrote a letter to fully support Chang Wei's performance, and then knelt outside the noon gate and cried. As soon as the news spread, Song Yingxing, Zhang Jimeng, Bi Denghan, Bi Dengfu, Bo Jue and others immediately responded in writing.

Due to the remarkable results of the Machinery Bureau, the Firearms Bureau, and the Gunpowder Bureau, the emperor decreed: Xu Guangqi was reinstated as the left waiter of the Ministry of Rites, the director of the military department of Sun Yuanhua, the left waiter of the military department of Bi Maokang, the waiter of the processing department of Song Yingxing, the waiter of the criminal department of Zhang Jimeng, the waiter of the criminal department, Bi Denghan, Bi Dengfu, and Bo Juejia Yushi Dafu. In this way, Chang Wei's prestige is even better!

Then Gu Yanwu, Wang Fuzhi, and Huang Zongxi, the 'Three Sons of Jiangnan,' responded; Huang Zongyan and Huang Zonghui, who were called the 'Three Yellows of Eastern Zhejiang' together with Huang Zongxi, responded; Sun Qifeng, the 'Three Confucian Sons of Hainai,' and Li Hao of Shaanxi Province, responded; Li Bai and Li Yindu, who were called the 'Three Lis of Guanzhong' together with Li Hao; and the old and young remnants of Donglin who were released by Chang Wei expressed their support one after another, and there were many responders for a while, and their influence was extremely huge.

We have studied the Four Books, Five Classics, and Eight Strands of Literature for more than ten years, or even decades, and now you Chang Wei said that what kind of mathematics and machinery should be examined? Even if the Eight Strands are separated from those five subjects, it will not work! Why should those craftsmen's knowledge be as good as those of us who are scholars, and they can be used as well as the imperial court? That is not good, and that cannot let those lowly craftsmen get the same glory as us!

The Donglin Party and the orthodox scholars who were offended were not easy to mess with, and the Jingshi Guozijian and the Jiangnan Fushe echoed the north and south, and at the same time opposed Chang Wei's recital.

The Ming Dynasty took the scholars with eight shares, and the scholars were people who sharpened their articles and sought fame, so they respected teachers and made friends, and associations became commonplace, especially in Jiangnan. The Donglin Party is such a literary society, to the sixth year of the Apocalypse, the eunuch party held power, the Donglin Party was defeated, from the six cabinet departments to the governor and governor of the Quartet, there are people who are willing to be Wei Zhongxian's sworn party.

After the defeat of Donglin, the resumption of the society rose again. Fushe is a literary society founded in Wujiang, Suzhou in the ninth year of the Apocalypse, which is composed of more than a dozen literary societies such as Yunjian Society, Zhexi Wen Society, Jiangbei South Society, Jiangxi Zeshe Society, Liting Xi Society, Wumen Yupeng Society, Wumen Kuang Society, Wulin Reading Society, etc.

Its leaders are Zhang Pu and Zhang Cai, the two are from Taicang, and they have read together with the same classmates, they are dependent on each other, and they are called "Lou Dong Erzhang".

Although the banner of the Fushe is to figure out the eight shares, learn from each other, and temper their conduct, it has a strong political color, and Donglin succeeds himself, representing the interests of the landlords and businessmen in the south of the Yangtze River, and echoing the industry and commerce in the south of the Yangtze River, and has a fairly broad foundation.

The members of the Restoration Society are mainly young scholars, with more than 2,000 members, and their momentum is all over the country. When the society gathers in the spring and autumn, it is well-dressed and out of the city, and the social impact is great.

Beginning with last year's Chang Wei examination, many members of the Fushe Society have ascended to the ranks, and many civil and military generals, court sergeants, doctors, and school students have claimed to be Zhang Pu's subordinates, and tens of thousands of followers have followed.

This year, Chang Wei set up a machine bureau, built a large number of machines, and also stipulated that only people who had paid one-tenth of the industrial and commercial tax could buy it, and the wealthy businessmen in Jiangnan represented by the members of Donglin and the Fushe Society were naturally unwilling to pay such heavy taxes. This made the Shen family, the Huang family, the Longyou Merchant Gang and other Changwei forces make a lot of money, which not only made the Jiangnan Wang clan hateful, but also made ordinary workers extremely jealous.

They blamed Chang Wei for the reason why they couldn't make money, so from Jiangnan to the imperial court, there were countless people who hated Chang Wei, but they were helpless against him.

What's even worse is that Zhou Yanru is Zhang Pu's teacher, and Zhou Yanru impeached Chang Wei, but was brought down by Ni Wenhuan, so this account is also counted on Chang Wei's head, and the causes and consequences are added together, Chang Wei immediately became a thorn in the side of the Restoration Society, vowing to bring it down!

But Chang Wei is a person who likes him, such as the emperor, such as Yuan Keli, such as Wei Liangdong, such as Huang Zongxi, such as the Shen family, such as the Longyou Gang, such as the businessmen who have benefited, such as the craftsmen who can learn the five disciplines and gain fame, such as the Xu family and other people with vested interests;

Therefore, Chang Wei's performance is not only a court dispute, but also an academic dispute, which can be said to be related to the future academic trend of the Ming Dynasty.

If Chang Wei wins, his "Theory of the Wealth of Nations", "Theory of Sea Power", "Theory of Generals" and later "Theory of War" will become the mainstream of learning in the Ming Dynasty, and the five subjects of mathematics, geometry, physics, chemistry, and machinery advocated by him will become the dominant school after science and psychology, and will become an important academic school.

If Changwei is defeated, these learnings and the fledgling Western learning will suffer a serious blow. From then on, the position of science will be difficult to shake, and the Fusha will truly replace Donglin and become an important force in the government and the opposition.

Therefore, Yuan Keli and Chang Kuan invited these twelve important people to fight tomorrow's court battle!

These twelve people are: Nanjing Ministry of Shangshu Wang Zaijin, the left waiter of the Ministry of Rites Xu Guangqi, the left waiter of the Ministry of War, Bi Maokang, the head of the Ministry of War, Sun Yuanhua, the head of the Ministry of War, Lin Xuezeng, the left waiter of the Ministry of Households, Guo Yunhou, the right waiter of the Ministry of Households, Su Maoxiang, the left waiter of the Criminal Department, Wu Zhongwei, the governor of Shuntian, Wang Yongguang, the scholar of the Prince Taibao, Bi Ziyan, the right Yushi Bi Ziyan, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, He Ruzhong, and the military department all gave the imperial Shi Long Wenguang in the matter.

These people are all Yuan Keli and Chang Kuan, and most of them were high-ranking officials such as Shangshu, Ministry, governor of a province, and Buzheng before they were Shangshu, Ministry, governor of a province, and other high-ranking officials, or they were implicated in the party dispute between the DPRK and China, or offended the eunuch party and were demoted.

There is another left squire of the military department (the remaining five departments only have one left, one right and two squires, and the military department has two left and two right four squires) plus Wang Zhichen, the prince and the prince, who was outside to rectify the guard, failed to rush back, so calculated, the strength of Chang Wei's side is really not to be underestimated.

But Chang Wei's ambition is not only to promote the five subjects, but also to form a real party and play politics-party-politics-governance! Nowadays, the eunuch party and the Donglin party in the imperial court are really very low-level games, and they are just friends and not politics.

Both the Eunuch Party and the Donglin Party are friends of friends, and they are formed because of academics, common interests, and friendship.

The political-party-political-governance rule is completely different, it refers to the form in which the imperial court exercises political power through the political party. In a broad sense, it includes all the government and struggles waged by various parties to realize their political programs and propositions.

It is mainly manifested in three aspects: First, the political party participates in the government affairs in various ways, expresses opinions on the affairs of the court and the world, and exerts influence on the government affairs.

Second, the political party strives to become the ruling party, and implements its political program and measures through leading and holding the political power of the imperial court, so that the will of the strata and groups it represents becomes the will of the state, which is the core of the government, the party, and the government.

Third, internal coordination with the imperial court and with other factions, groups, and strata.

Politics-Party-Politics-Origin in England!

In the seventeenth century, there were two major political factions in the British Parliament, the Tories and the Whigs, and after the Industrial Revolution, with the development of the British parliamentary system, the Tories evolved into the Conservative Party, and the Whigs evolved into the Free Party, thus formally forming the British parliamentary system of two parties-government-government.

The political-party-political-political system has made great and obvious progress over the feudal monarchy. In this system, there is a struggle between different strata, different interest groups and different factions. However, its essence is that a certain faction holds power through a political party that represents its interests, and the struggle is clear and relatively peaceful. Unlike today's imperial court, there is open and secret fighting, only for private interests, not for the interests of the country!

As long as the situation of politics-party-government-rule can be formed, then the separation of powers and the constitutional monarchy envisioned by Chang Wei will become possible, and Chang Wei has clearly mentioned these three ideas to Yuan Keli, Chang Kuan, Chang Tong, Huang Zongxi and others.

On the contrary, his own people had some concerns and doubts, but Huang Zongxi, who was born in Donglin, respected this set very much, which surprised Chang Wei. But if you think about it carefully, it's normal, Huang Zongxi is the eldest son of Huang Zunsu, the sixth gentleman of Donglin, who has been poisoned by the corruption of the court and government, and hates the emperor's dictatorship and handing over power to the eunuchs at will.

On the other hand, Chang Wei tried to mention to the emperor the separation of powers, and the emperor was also eager to try it. There were quarrels in the court every day, and the inefficiency was outrageous, and many of the proposals were absurd to make the emperor almost crazy, and he used Wei Zhongxian to kill him in a helpless situation.

However, just as Chang Wei said, the opponents of the government and the opposition can't be killed, who will rule the world after they are really killed? Relying on those who are obedient and can only pat on the back will not be able to do it at all. What can people like Gu Bingqian, Feng Quanzhi and others do? Aren't they still relying on capable people like Lai Zongdao, Liang Dingchen, Yuan Keli, and Chang Kuan?

But these people have their own persistence and beliefs, and they have been desperately resisted by Lai Zongdao when they run a school to open five subjects such as mathematics, what else can they do except kill him or dismiss the official?

However, if the Industrialist Party were to be directly put in power by using the government-party-government-government of Changwei, what new policies such as whipping the law, apportioning the land into the mu, cutting down the feudal domain, rectifying the guards, building the outer city of Shanhaiguan with strong walls and clearing the wilderness, running schools, and one-tenth of the tax rate could be carried out.

And the separation of powers can appease Wei Zhongxian's eunuch party and the frustrated Donglin party, the ruling party is the industrial party, the legislation is handed over to Donglin, the judiciary is handed over to the eunuch party, everyone does their own thing, supervise each other, unless an official violates the law, otherwise, if you want to impeach, impeach its entire party-party and strategy, once there is conclusive evidence, the crime is convicted, immediately go down to the field and change to another faction to govern, power is in turn, after the assessment, that faction will continue to do a good job, and if you don't do well, it means that your entire group is thinking wrongly, and all of them will be dismissed!

It's a mule or a horse that comes out to slip around, do you have the real ability to speak on the basis of political achievements, don't play tricks!

This statement made the emperor very moved, because the emperor doesn't like to care about these trivial matters, and it doesn't matter how much money anyone is greedy, the emperor only looks at how much money you get for the court, whether you have merit in the war, and whether there is a rebellion. The rest, such as whether the local governance is good or not, the full strength of that faction, these 'trivial' emperors are not interested in it at all!

Chang Wei's method can undoubtedly free the emperor from tedious political affairs, and he can devote himself to his favorite military affairs and carpenters and machines that he is good at, and the emperor will naturally like it!

Of course, he only dared to throw out the first two items, such as the constitutional monarchy, which restricts the imperial power, but he did not dare to say it to the emperor, and if he said it, he was afraid that the emperor would immediately let him go! The constitutional monarchy could only be implemented by waiting for changes in the imperial court and waiting for the time of day!

didn't say to the twelve ministers present, only threw out the political-party-political-political and separation of powers, although everyone still has some opinions, such as not allowing the group of scum of the eunuch party and the idiots of Donglin to supervise themselves, but this is the most realistic way now!

As a result, those present reluctantly reached a consensus and decided to form an industrial party to implement these two strategies!

Chang Wei let out a big sigh, "The Industrial Party has finally been born!" (To be continued.) )
