Mu Min joked: "Douglas Adams is really good at insight into human nature. How do you say that? Any technology that was available when I was born is an inherent part of the world. Any technology that was available when I was fifteen to thirty-five years old
The technologies that were born during this period are all revolutionary products. Any technology that is born after I am thirty-five years old is anti-human and will be punished by God. Based on the average life span of ancient people, I think this number will be a few years earlier."
Lin Baiguang complained: "Du Yibin has been pestering Song Yingsheng all day long, and now you want to start a boy band 'Lingnan Sanzhong'. I really can't stand the hobbies of you people who are serious collectors of historical celebrities."
Liu Xiang repeatedly denied: "None of you here should have this hobby. At least I certainly don't."
"But speaking of it, if there are a few historical celebrities around who say a few words from time to time: 'The leader is wise', and another one 'bows down and bows down', won't everyone's sense of accomplishment gradually increase?" Lin Baiguang asked with a smile.
"It goes without saying! But it's not true. Mr. Lu always praises me for my wisdom and martial prowess, but his praises don't sound interesting."
Seeing that the topic of the meeting had strayed off again, Wu Mu reminded: "Let's get back to the topic, don't digress. Judging from the information compiled by the wire reports and the big library, not only Guangdong, but also the entire Ming Dynasty officialdom and the gentry group have intricate relationships.
Various public information about the Senate should have been spread in this relationship network, and the gentry group of the Ming Dynasty should be relatively familiar with us. Chen Zizhuang and Li Suiqiu are the core figures of the entire Guangdong gentry group. They are closely related to the capital, Jiangnan
The relationship between the gentry and the gentry is also very close. How to properly arrange them will be related to the attitude of the gentry group north of Wuling towards the Senate in the future when the Senate launches a full-scale northern expedition."
"No matter what their attitude is, just ask the steel guns and cannons in our hands to know what attitude to use!" Mu Min said.
"That's the truth, but according to the strategy of the Senate, most areas will probably still decide on propaganda in the future to reduce unnecessary casualties and unnecessary loss of productivity, otherwise the recovery will be too slow." Wumu explained:
"The Three Loyaltymen of Lingnan, as positive figures in the old time and space, still hold a lot of weight in the hearts of many elders. Many people don't want them to end badly - there are even people who came to our bureau specifically to say hello and ask us to 'save them in time'
.”
"There are some things that we can't accomplish just by wishful thinking." Lin Baiguang sighed, "Position and integrity are very mysterious to talk about. Only when you actually encounter them will you know that they are not false."
Liu Xiang took a sip of strong tea and said to Elder Li Zhuoxian next to him, "Lao Li, you'd better introduce the spider web-like relationship tree of these gentry first."
Li Zhuoxian is a native of Guangzhou in the old time and space, and he has considerable research on historical figures of the Ming Dynasty. After the Senate launched the Guangdong and Guangxi strategy, he naturally followed the team north to start work. He opened his laptop and projected a huge mind map on the screen.
"This is a relationship spectrum that I compiled based on the data and reports from this time and space, as well as the historical data from the old time and space." Li Zhuoxian said.
"Senior Wu Mu is right, but not entirely. To be precise, Chen Zizhuang and Li Suiqiu's masters and apprentices should be the core figures of the gentry group that currently has a tendency to resist, rather than the core figures of all gentry.
"First of all, let's give a brief introduction to Chen Zizhuang. His family has been officials for generations. He was a top performer in the imperial examination, and he once resisted the eunuchs. He is very famous. Before he was dismissed from office, he was the right minister and bachelor of the Ministry of Rites. He lectured at banquets and was in charge of the administration of the Ministry of Rites.
Affairs. In 1635, Chen Zizhuang had a chance to join the cabinet, but he was not selected. Later, he was dismissed and returned to his hometown. Everyone is familiar with this man, so I won’t say more.”
Li Zhuoxian continued, "Then there are He Wuzu and Huang Shijun. He Wuzu and Chen Zizhuang are neighbors and will be in-laws in the future. Historically, Chen Zizhuang's youngest son Chen Shangtu married He Wuzu's daughter. He Wuzu also served as the Ministry of Rites
The right minister was dismissed by Wen Ti Rendou not long after he entered the cabinet. Historically, in 1636, He Wuzu founded Xiangshan Academy. Li Suiqiu, Chen Zizhuang, Xie Wenchang, Kuang Lu and Chen Bangyan were all taught by his disciples. Although He is currently superficial
He worked for us, but he was very unreliable. Historically, he was the one who instigated Li Chengdong to rebel against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty. However, Beijing’s informants can pay attention to Gu Chaojian. This person is from Chao’an and has a very bad relationship with He Wuzhen.
He took the lead in matters concerning the gentry registered in Guangdong and Guangxi, the two houses, and the three liaisons. Since the year of Xinwei, that is, 1631, Gu Chaojian and He Wuzou have been wrestling with each other, but He Wuzou was powerful and Gu Chaojian could never win, so
Very resentful. How bad was the relationship between the two people? So bad that later when Gu Chaojian heard that Li Chengdong had pacified Fujian, he went to Fujian in person to meet Li Chengdong and offered him a strategy to pacify Guangdong. It was at Gu Chaojian's strong request that he
Li Chengdong accepted Gu's strategy and captured Guangzhou almost without bloodshed, eliminating Shaowu's regime."
The elders present all widened their eyes after hearing this, feeling incredible. Some people complained: "What kind of brain circuit is this?"
Li Zhuoxian said: "Ji Liuqi thought that Gu Chaojian said that he could reach Guilin in Western Guangdong within three months, and he wanted to win the first victory to defeat He Wujuer. So now He Wuzuo has been dismissed from office and is in his hometown, and he is trapped in the enemy camp.
, Gu Chaojian did not take this opportunity to give He Wuzuo some eye drops, it would be a shame for him and He Wuzuo to have a close relationship. If Chongzhen listened to Gu Chaojian's words, he would be angry with He Wuzuo and other Guangzhou bureaucrats and gentry, He Wuzuo
Is Zou still in the mood to be loyal to this stupid emperor Chongzhen?"
"It's true that internal fighting is good for internal fighting, but external fighting is bad for outsiders!"
Li Zhuoxian continued: "Huang Shijun's resume is even more glorious. He is from Shunde. He was the number one scholar in Dingweike in the 35th year of Wanli. He has successively served as the right minister of the Ministry of Rites, the right minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and the minister of the Ministry of Rites. He has now become a bachelor of Dongge University and joined the cabinet.
Machine maintenance. However, this man was in danger of death. After the fall of the Longwu regime, he took refuge with Li Chengdong and shaved his head to change his clothes."
Mu Min's professional sensitivity made her immediately discover the interesting part, saying: "All three of them have served as the right minister of the Ministry of Rites, which is really interesting."
Li Zhuoxian explained: "The Ministry of Rites is a department that brings together Hanlin Confucian officials. There was no prime minister in the Ming Dynasty. Most of the cabinet bachelors who joined the cabinet to participate in military affairs were selected by the Ministry of Rites. Qian Qianyi, Zhou Yanru, He Ruchong, Wen Tiren, Zheng Yiwei, Xu Guangqi
, these people have all been awarded official titles in the Ministry of Rites, you can understand that this is the old reserve team of the Pavilion."
Lin Baiguang said: "It can also be seen from the picture that the Senate has become a core node in this relationship network. It can be said that it is related to the entire officialdom of the Ming Dynasty from the capital to the localities. Every move we make will be reflected in the Ming Dynasty.
exert influence among the official and gentry groups."
Li Zhuoxian said: "That's right, don't think that Lingao is still shrouded in the thick fog of war against the Ming Dynasty officialdom. Holding this idea will make us suffer. Since Chen Zizhuang is a senior official in the capital, his local foundation is no worse than that of Huang, so why not
, he is related by marriage to the Zhu family of Jiujiang, and his cousin Zhu Baolian studied under Li Yingsheng, the "Seven Gentlemen of Donglin". He and Liu Dalin were Jinshi in the same year, and he and Chen Shiji are poetry friends. He has a closer relationship with the Hainan gentry than Huang He.
The gentry group with him as the core also had an unusual relationship with Yuan Chonghuan. They once paid a farewell visit to Yuan Chonghuan and left a famous literary work "Dongguan Yuan Chonghuan Governor Liao Farewell Poems". There are fifteen historical figures in the "Picture Poems".
, among them, Deng Jian, Li Yunlong, and Liang Ji have all served as Yuan Chonghuan's guests. Han Nuan is from the Boluo Han family. Although he is not famous in history, the Han family is a real prominent family in the local area. His junior Han Ruhuang,
Han Ruyan later followed Chen Zizhuang in revolting against the Qing Dynasty. His contemporaries, such as Han and Japan, were promoted to ministers of the Ministry of Rites and vice president of the Records of the Two Dynasties. He died in office in 1635. The famous Huang Daozhou went to Boluo Han's family school to study when he was fourteen.
For two years, he was Han Rizuan's entry-level disciple. Han Rizuan served as an examiner for the joint examination twice. Hong Chengchou, Huang Daozhou, Ni Yuanlu, and Qu Shichu were all his disciples. Huang Zongxi's father, Huang Zunsu, also respected him as the 'Master'.
Qu Shishu was also a student of Qian Qianyi. Qu had a good relationship with Ai Julius of the Jesuits. He was baptized into Christianity and was named Thomas. He was a fellow believer with Xu Guangqi, Li Zhizao, Sun Yuanhua, etc., and he must have known the Senate quite well.
.Li Suiqiu's father Li Mi is also one of the fifteen people in "Picture Poems". Li Suiqiu is a student of Chen Zizhuang, a rising star in the Lingnan literary world, and has a close relationship with Zhang Pu of Fushe, and is even related to Guan Ningjun.
His master Li Mo saved Zu Dashou’s life when he was in Liaodong. What you can’t think of is that Chen Zizhuang and Han Rizuan also have a common friend, Zhang Xuan. This person is also a good friend of Matteo Ricci, and he should also know about it through the Jesuits
Our situation."
Mu Min said jokingly: "Mr. Li Yuan, if you continue to organize this network, I'm afraid Emperor Chongzhen will be related to us. By the way, I really forgot, our relationship with Gao Zhi Gao is connected to the palace. Maybe.
"Yangcheng Daily" and "Lingao Times" have been in Chongzhen's imperial study for a long time, and our melamine plastic bowls are stored in the inner library. The emperor drank like a king, hahaha..."
"Hahaha..." Li Zhuoxian also laughed, "Joking aside, the locals in this picture include the Gaoming Ou family and the Shunde Ou family. It is also worth noting. Among the fifteen people in "Picture Poetry", Ou Huai
In 1998, his father, the prime minister of the district, and his uncle, district Dalun, were both Jinshi and elected as commoners. Ou Huairui was his elder brother, and together with Ou Huainian and Ou Biyuan, he was a member of the "Twelve Sons of Nanyuan". The two brothers Ou Huainian later also
Participated in the anti-Qing movement. Ou Biyuan is the grandson of Ou Daren, the "Five Sons of Nanyuan", and his younger brother Ou Zhuyu is also a member of the "Twelve Sons of Nanyuan". Ou Biyuan, He Wuzu and Li Sunchen are classmates, and Li Sunchen is an official
He became the Minister of Rites in Nanjing and took office after he died of illness in 1634. Ou Biyuan's son Ou Chongxian and Ou Sixian later followed Li Suiqiu and died in Ganzhou."
"As expected, people of the same species flock together and animals flock together. They are all hard-core."
