Zhang Cai painstakingly laid out the killing plan, but Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism itself had huge flaws.
Under the joint attack of Liu Zongzhou, Huang Zongxi and his disciples, Zhang Cai and others were severely defeated.
The winner was decided, and when everyone was convinced, Zheng Sanjun stood up.
"Today I have to listen to Tai Gong's true knowledge and insight, and then I will realize that learning is a matter of practice rather than writing. You should remember to practice it diligently, so that you can become a gentleman."
Although he is an official of the Six Ministries of Nanjing, Zheng Sanjun is a veritable boss of Donglin. His seniority is higher than that of Zuo Guangdou, Han Xu and others.
Although he is now old and his official career is at an end, he is not happy to see Fu She bully Dong Lin.
Yes, although Fushe takes the inheritance of Donglin doctrine as its mission, in the eyes of the older generation of Donglin Party members, Fushe and Donglin are two different things.
At least within Donglin, psychology and Neo-Confucianism are on equal footing, conflicting and merging.
Liu Zongzhou thought first and then his heart, that's how it was.
Fushe, on the other hand, specialized in Neo-Confucianism and excluded the study of mind, which was contrary to Donglin's original intention.
Today I saw Liu Zongzhou and Huang Zongxi defeated Zhang Cai. Zheng Sanjun was relieved and turned the corner, nailing the victory or defeat.
At this point, no matter how time passes, Liu Zongzhou is truly victorious in today's debate.
There will be no worries about divergent opinions and complicated versions. It also avoids the possibility of people with ulterior motives reversing the verdict for the restoration of society and Neo-Confucianism after a few years.
How could Zhang Cai not know what he was thinking, but in full view of everyone, he could not refute except secretly vomiting blood.
After simply snorting angrily, he staggered away and had no shame in staying here.
His disciples and close friends, including Song Zhengyu, Li Wen and others, left in a hurry.
I believe that these people will not be able to raise their heads in the literary world for a long time.
Although Chen Zilong and Xia Yunyi couldn't bear to see their former friends turned into drowned dogs, they did not follow them.
They have now become loyal followers of Liu Zongzhou, and seeking truth and being pragmatic have become their beliefs.
Good is good, bad is bad.
Even if they are close friends, they will not seek each other's will if they have different views.
The departure of the loser does not leave a mess behind. On the contrary, the winner has the right to enjoy the carnival.
Qian Qianyi didn't speak out until then.
"Miss Zhenli, what do you think of what you saw today?"
Li Zhenli was also one of the people who was attacked, but she was a prostitute in a brothel, how could she care about a little honor and disgrace?
She understood even more clearly that Qian Qianyi's calling her name at this time was giving her a chance.
While feeling secretly happy in my heart, I quickly seized this golden opportunity.
"Although the slave family is confined to Zhangtai, their minds are dull. However, today I had the honor to listen to Mr. Jishan's instructions, and suddenly became enlightened. Especially the personal instruction of General Wang, which made the slave family understand the best principles of practice."
Everyone stroked their beards and smiled, but they also quite recognized her words.
What happened to Li Zhenli is a typical example of lack of practice.
Trapped in this hedonistic land of Jinling fireworks, I learned two-handed swordsmanship. I didn't know whether others were giving in or lack of force, so I thought I was really a master of swordsmanship.
It was only when I met Wang Siyi, who was at the top of the world, and suffered a disastrous defeat, that I realized that what I had learned in the past was so unbearable.
This is no different from the vast majority of Confucian scholars.
Qian Qianyi laughed loudly.
"Today's grand gathering of literary circles is rare to see in a hundred years. What's even rarer is that Miss Li also has some enlightenment. It shows that my Confucianism has made great contributions to educating the world. As the saying goes, it is disrespectful to come and go without reciprocating. Miss Li, you still have some excellent works. I will pay tribute to you.
Sir?"
People in brothels are used to being coy and pretentious. Li Zhenli put on a look that I felt pity for, and timidly said: "What I'm good at is just singing. But General Wang doesn't like it, so what's the point?"
Qian Qianyi is particularly lovable as long as he doesn't get involved in fights.
"Zhongheng, Taichong and this General Wang are all already dominant in martial arts. In that case, I will ask Miss Li to play "Hujiazhuang" to let the generals experience my Kunqiang martial arts."
Li Zhenli was overjoyed and said hurriedly: "Everyone, please wait a moment while I go to prepare some preparations."
When Kun Opera was first derived, most of it was based on "The Peony Pavilion". However, after development, the developed secular culture in Jiangnan made the audience no longer satisfied with this.
Gradually, passages from classics such as "Water Margin" and "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" began to be adapted into tracks.
"Hujiazhuang" is a famous piece of Peking Opera in later generations, which was born out of Kun Opera.
Li Zhenli is good at swordsmanship and has a foundation in kung fu. The role she plays as Hu Sanniang is unique in her own right.
After the debate was over, a relaxing and enjoyable banquet followed.
Qian Qianyi found an opportunity and got in front of Zuo Mengeng.
"After so many years, Zhongheng has become famous all over the world. With a famous general like you, the Ming Dynasty will have no worries."
Zuo Mengeng teased him.
"Since I joined the army, I have only known how difficult it is. I am afraid that a single oversight may lead to a huge defeat. If Mu Zhaigong can go out and give a few words of praise to my juniors, then everything will be safe."
Qian Qianyi's face turned green and he said hurriedly: "But my physical strength is exhausted, my old eyes are dim, and I have the will but no strength. I can only live up to Zhong Heng's heart."
He was afraid that Zuo Mengeng would hold on to him, so he quickly changed the subject.
"In addition to Zhongheng's army, he is also running a big business. There is a friend who happens to be here. He has admired Zhongheng's style for a long time and asked me to introduce him to him."
Who is it that can make Qian Qianyi the man in the middle?
Zuo Mengeng couldn't help but become curious.
"Muzhaigong's friends must be virtuous and famous people. I am so lucky to be able to make friends with him."
Seeing that he did not refuse, Qian Qianyi was overjoyed.
"Zhongheng, follow me."
Qian Qianyi led Zuo Mengeng off the cruise ship and onto Bailuzhou.
There is a quiet courtyard, just away from the eyes and ears of others.
The two of them walked inside, and there was a tall middle-aged man standing by the window watching the scenery.
Qian Qianyi smiled and said: "First officer, look who I invited here."
The man turned around, revealing a bronze face with sharp edges and corners. The Chinese character face, with thick eyebrows raised, looked like two big brooms.
The eyes under the eyebrows are like copper bells. Even if they are opened wide, they look like a wolf staring at its prey, which is breathtaking.
He was wearing a member's robe covered in flowers, just like a bandit who had just robbed a landlord's wealth. He couldn't hide the aura of a bandit.
But when I saw Qian Qianyi, he was quite humble.
"Muzhaigong, is this the world-famous General Zuo?"
Without waiting for Qian Qianyi to introduce him, he said with a warm tone: "I have always heard that General Zuo is a young hero. When I saw him today, he is indeed well-deserved. I, Zheng Zhilong of Fujian Province, have taken the liberty to recommend me. I would also like to ask Haihan."
Zuo Mengeng was stunned for a moment and looked over intently, but his heart was filled with waves.
Is this Zheng Zhilong who dominated the East China Sea in the late Ming Dynasty?
Speaking of which, in his mind, Zheng Zhilong's status even surpassed that of Chongzhen, Huang Taiji and others.
After all, from the perspective of later generations, the importance of the ocean lies there.
As the people who controlled China's road to the ocean, Zheng Zhilong and his son Zheng Chenggong have always been well written and studied repeatedly by historians.
What he didn't expect was that Zheng Zhilong actually wanted to see him.
What surprised him most was that Qian Qianyi, an old scholar, was actually familiar with Zheng Zhilong, a pirate.
In fact, this is the problem of Zuo Menggeng’s insufficient historical knowledge.
Zheng Zhilong was able to stand out from the bandits in the East China Sea because he received the support of the Donglin Party.
After Longqing opened the sea, Jiangnan industry and commerce realized that opening the sea only at the official level would not achieve results.
The ocean is different from the land. Ming Dynasty's control was not strong enough, so the ocean became a lawless place.
If you want to get rid of the constraints of Jiangnan noble families and truly profit from maritime trade, you need to have your own maritime armed force.
Therefore, since then, the Donglin Party has been actively looking for partners.
Because the successive governors of Fujian were all members of the Donglin Party, pirates from Fujian naturally became the targets of the Donglin Party.
Pirates occupy the ocean not for robbery.
That's just incidental.
The main source of profit at sea is maritime trade.
Pirates also hope to transport goods to various places to make money.
The southern industry and commerce controlled by the Donglin Party can provide supply of goods, and the pirates have channels and force to protect them, so the two sides hit it off.
Since the era of Zheng Zhilong's predecessor, Li Dan, the overlord of the East China Sea, the cooperation between the Donglin Party and the pirates began.
Six years ago, Li Dan passed away in Japan, and most of his estate was inherited by Zheng Zhilong.
But the pirates were also divided into many branches, and this is how the famous Shibazhi came to be.
However, since the death of Yan Siqi, there has been a tendency of division and hostility within Shibazhi. Everyone's strength is equal to each other, and it is difficult for anyone to defeat the opponent.
Out of a sense of crisis, Zheng Zhilong made a bold decision to move closer to the Donglin Party and obtain its support.
After Zheng Zhilong defeated Yu Zigao and killed Xu Xinsu, the Ming Dynasty lost all its last remaining power to intervene in the sea.
Southeast industrial and commercial enterprises are keenly aware that thousands of miles of sea territory has become a thoroughfare for their smooth trade.
Therefore, he and Zheng Zhilong hit it off immediately and quickly established an alliance.
In order to accumulate capital to defeat Liu Xiang and others, Zheng Zhilong urgently needs more wealth.
