The Head of the Ming Dynasty Spared His Life

Among them, Yang Bo, Zhang Siwei and other forces still maintain a strong Jin Party, and their attitude tends to be conservative at certain times.Yan Song will only be supported when it is in the interests of the Jin Party, and he is generally regarded as an alternative to the conservatives.

The Radical Party is based on cutting-edge reformers such as Wang Jiaping, Wang Xijue, Xu Wei, Hu Zongxian, etc. They demand to follow the trend of the times, vigorously develop capitalist industry and commerce, and vigorously support the strong rise of the merchant class.

One of the characteristics of these officials is that they are all young officials supported by Yan Song, but these people have a lot of contact with capital, businessmen, and technology. great significance.

On the one hand, they demanded radical reform internally, completely abolished the remnants of feudalism in the past, and promoted policies conducive to the development of capitalist industry, commerce, and military industry; He and the battleship blasted open the gates of the surrounding weak and small countries, spreading the glory and greatness of Ming Dynasty to every inch of land on the earth where the sun can shine.

Chapter 2031 Controversy between New Thought factions [8]

Famous generals in the military, such as Hu Zongxian, Ma Sanduo, Li Rusong, Yu Dayou, Li Huamei, Qi Jimei, etc., also basically belong to the radical reformers and are tough hawks externally.

But one person doesn't count.

The Great Ming Army God, Qi Jiguang.

Although Qi Jiguang was born as a military general, because of his superb martial arts, he jumped from a sixth-rank military officer to a second-rank military officer Zuo Shilang and Prince Shaobao, but his attitude towards war and colonization was much lower than that of other fanatical senior military generals. more calm.

He said: "Although a country is big, it will die if it is warlike. I support foreign colonization and expansion, but it should be within the capabilities of the Ming Empire, step by step, planned and limited. It is not suitable for a global war. After all, Ming is not strong enough. It can hit the whole world." "Four Zero Zero"

This point coincides with Yan Song.

Finally, there is the moderate in the middle.

The moderate faction, headed by Cifu Shen Shixing, the governor of Jinyiwei Lu Bing, the old man Li Chunfang, and the military god Qi Jiguang, advocated the implementation of gradual and gradual reforms internally. Under the premise of intense and comprehensive social conflicts, we will speed up the reform of Ming Dynasty little by little in a fast way, firmly pursue the policy of colonial expansion externally, expand the land and resources of Ming Dynasty, and immigrate the rich people of Ming Dynasty to the more prosperous West On the Pacific Ocean and the South Sea Islands, colonial rule was carried out, and those wild lands were gradually assimilated into the mainland of Ming Dynasty.

For business, technology, and capital, the moderate attitude also advocates support, but the same steps should not be taken too far, it is easy to mess up, and everything should be cautious.

The three factions of conservative, radical, and moderate are basically similar to the three propositions of the right wing, left wing, and moderate faction in later generations, each occupying a large position in the imperial court.

They not only argued and fought in the court, but also fought fiercely among the people.

Because Yan Song pursues the policy of cultural prosperity, encourages different public opinions, and establishes different types of media such as cultural weekly magazines, magazines, newspapers, book clubs, and poetry clubs, the three major factions are constantly actively deploying media resources and vying for the right to speak.

Various types of newspapers, magazines, books, book clubs, etc., sprung up in the major cities of Ming Dynasty like mushrooms after rain.Those with greater influence include magazines such as [Rulin], [Sage's Weiyan], and [Sacred Way], which were established by conservatives, as well as various great Confucianists in Jiangxi, Fujian, Nanzhili, Zhejiang and other provinces where Confucian culture is very developed. Various academies were established, such as Yuelu Academy, Wansong Academy, West Lake Academy and so on.

While desperately criticizing current affairs and politics, accusing the world of declining morale and people’s morale, they continue to explore the positive elements of Confucian culture, such as humility, introspection, filial piety, struggle, etc., self-evolution and self-improvement, and strive to be able to compete with menacing men, dragon spirits, etc. The ferocious reformist new culture is confronting head-on.

There are newspapers and magazines such as [Shanghai Bund], [Clarion], and [Guangming Daily] founded by the reform radicals. In these public opinion positions, the passionate young people of the reform radicals speak out loudly, trying to wake up the Ming society that has been sleeping for thousands of years. , to inspire people's spirit of "equality, freedom, fraternity, and science" to fight against the remnants of feudal oppression.

Hu Xueyan, a more radical patriotic businessman, was still shocked in Shanghai and established the first girls' middle school in Ming Dynasty, which specially recruited female students!

This one stone stirred up thousands of waves and completely shocked the entire Ming society.

Numerous conservatives, old masters, and moralists were heartbroken and stood up to criticize loudly. This is immoral and shameless.

But Hu Xueyan remained the same.

At the opening ceremony of Shanghai Women's Middle School, he said impassionedly to the first batch of 13 female students: "For thousands of years, a woman's ignorance is virtue. Girls who are young and talented beyond men are forced to accept bullying by their parents-in-law, beating and scolding by their husbands, husbands and children, daily necessities, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea. Isn’t this a kind of oppression? Isn’t it a kind of exploitation? People are born equal. Men , women are human beings, why can men go to school and change their own destiny, but women can't? I will be the first female educator in Ming Dynasty!"

Hu Xueyan, a red-capped businessman, is the number one munitions man in Ming Dynasty. He is also rich and self-willed. As long as girls apply for the Shanghai Girls' High School, all are free!All for free!

Originally only received 13 female students....

It quickly grew to 89.

Then it broke through 200.

·····

Shanghai Women's High School, and subsequently Shanghai Women's University, became the earliest women's middle school and university in the world, and has been ranked No. 500 in the world for [-] consecutive years.

Numerous female prime ministers, female presidents, and first ladies have been cultivated here, and they went out of Ming Dynasty and went to the whole world. They were hailed as the "Feminist Temple Mount" by the Western media 500 years later.

There are also quite a few moderate magazines and newspapers.On the one hand, it criticizes the conservatives for their complacency and obstinacy, and on the other hand, it also criticizes the radicals for their over-idealization, over-impatientness, overstepping their strides, and being able to do bad things with good intentions.

Generally speaking, due to Yan Song's strong suppression, the three major factions cannot directly eliminate the enemy politically, nor can they use methods such as assassination to obliterate the person (Yan Song relies on institutions such as Jinyiwei, Dongchang, and intelligence agencies to strictly control the major forces. Surveillance, use of indiscriminate means is not allowed), so they can only be honest and rack their brains to attack each other in politics, public opinion, and policy.

This period was also called "the golden age with the freest and most open atmosphere of public opinion in the history of China" by Ming Dynasty 1.7 historical researchers.

What's interesting is that these factions just rely on verbal abuse and feel that they can't tell the winner. They will also send many spies to break into the enemy's interior and act as the enemy's "pig teammates" and "high-level blacks" to cheat their strength.

For example, a college student, who clearly belongs to the radicals in the political camp, insists on pretending to be a scholar, joins Wansong Academy, and yells at the radicals for reforming, suppressing his family’s land interests, and writes articles criticizing the reformers .

The dean of Wansong Academy, of course, was very happy, so he asked him to write an article, personally recommended it to [Rulin] magazine, and it became the first article of the volume.

As a result, something bad happened.

Chapter 2032 Yan Song sits high in the temple to watch Er wait to tear you apart [9]

This great talent is actually a high-level villain, full of words, but he is devoted to criticizing various policies of the conservatives. He is eccentric, dedicated to smearing and distorting the policies of the conservatives, advocating the need to "restrain oneself and restore the rituals", and strictly restore the Zhou rituals, what do you say? Merchants are not allowed to ride in carriages, they are not allowed to wear silk, women are not allowed to study, they must have their feet bound, they must obey the three rules and four virtues, and even their husbands must be buried when they die...

What kind of powder is this, it is simply high-end black!

Even conservatives are not so stupid as to demand the restoration of these bloody and decadent "Zhou rituals" that have long been abandoned and even scolded by people.

After the publication of this masterpiece by a great talent, all walks of life were in an uproar.

Then, the radicals and the moderates, as if they had found a treasure, began to pile up articles, concentrated artillery fire, and violently attacked this article, and extended the flames of war to the magazine [Ru Lin], and finally burned to the conservatives.

The public also expressed their puzzlement at the conservatives' demands of going against the trend and going against the trend, and gathered outside the [Rulin] magazine one after another, washing the floor with rotten eggs and stinky tofu.

The Conservative Confucianists were stunned and furious. After investigation, it was discovered that the numbness was caused by the traitor of the 13th enemy.

Great Confucian scholars, ten thousand grass and mud horses gallop past in their hearts.

Radicals, you guys who have no morals to give birth to children and have no assholes, actually use such dirty moves to blackmail us?
