Zhao Nanxing, Gao Panlong and others are passionate about power, hinder their own rise, hinder military development, technological progress, and scientific and technological exploration. That is resistance and must be stepped aside.
If Zhu Youxiao can support himself, then of course he will support him in turn at this stage.
Suppose that in the future Chongzhen comes to power, and those who regard themselves as apocalypse will use Donglin and Confucian scholar-officials to restrict themselves.
At that time, he was not an imperialist. Who said he would hinder development and rise~
This is just an assumption.
For now.
Most literati landlords, especially conservative Confucian scholar-bureaucrats, find it difficult to support their own development.
But this is not the case for all civil servants. Some civil servants will criticize corrupt scholars and seek changes, some are keen on technological inventions, and some are pragmatic about the economy and people's livelihood.
These are what Wang Hongyu wants to unite around him.
He made a strategic plan for himself.
Our united front cannot achieve this ideal state of having many friends on our side and few enemies on our side.
But it can be realized that my friends here include enlightened literati, pragmatic literati, industrial intellectuals, technical intellectuals, some generals, as well as many craftsmen, farmers, soldiers, citizens, etc.
I still have a lot of friends, but I am more focused on having more classes and more power for progress.
On the opposite side will be traditional scholar-bureaucrats, some conservative generals, rich families and their vassals, etc.
He is mentally prepared, there will not be too few people on the opposite side, and his right to speak is not weak, but he must give way to his side.
It is a must.
Although there will be some toughness and bloodshed, this is not a dinner party.
Including the royal family.
For example, south of the Yellow River, there is King Fu, and the King of Zhou is expected to meet soon.
On King Fu's side, the death of his confidant was related to him at first, and he almost got himself into trouble.
Fortunately, his father Wanli later favored him very much, and Prince Fu also had a slight liking for him.
It's just that this good impression may not turn into support. King Fu is too wealthy and a living treasure. In the future, he may still cause trouble due to land, industry, and influence of words.
This is because I have some good feelings, but because of my different stance, I have to take precautions.
And the King of Zhou...
He had no contact or friendship with him at all. However, the king of Zhou had always been open-minded and Yongle was not allowed to interfere in political affairs. After that, he became famous for his herbal medicine business and benevolence.
More importantly, in the three decisive battles with Li Zicheng, King Zhou spared no effort to support the soldiers and civilians of the city and bravely defended the city. This was in sharp contrast to the timid and fearful King Fu.
For this reason, Wang Hongyu wanted to meet and cooperate with Zhu Gongzhen, the king of Zhou.
Of course, it is impossible to make a direct friendship, which would be equivalent to telling Tianqi Zhu Youxiao that I do not trust His Majesty, and I want to place my bet elsewhere...
Wang Hongyu would not be so stupid~
In short, as long as it is possible to achieve cooperation with Zhou Wang's lineage, Wang Hongyu will seize the hope and work hard.
Herbal medicine, right... I'm thinking about doing "new Chinese medicine".
The science and technology of modern medicine are very powerful, but they also require a process of development from tradition to modernity.
This process was initiated by China’s “New Traditional Chinese Medicine”.
King Zhou ran herbal fields and herbal medicine business, so he was a very suitable partner.
Two days later.
Wang Hongyu and his party crossed the Yellow River from Daming Mansion and arrived at Kaifeng Mansion.
Crossing the river was a collective operation, so Wang Hongyu was not separated from the library, the Hunhe Army, and his eldest brother's coffin.
After crossing the Yellow River, we carefully inspected the personnel and materials to make sure that nothing was missing.
Just as he was about to continue marching, he saw dozens of people coming from a distance, half of whom were wearing white cotton mourning clothes.
Wang Hongyu stopped to observe and saw that they were coming towards him.
The 12-year-old child Qiao Jibai next to him was surprised when he saw it: "It's so strange. During the funeral, you should wear hemp and mourn, and the clothes are hemp yellow. After observing mourning for three years, you wear white mourning clothes. Why are you playing and playing today?
But you didn’t wear funeral clothes?”
How did Wang Hongyu know?
On the contrary, having this twelve-year-old child by his side who was too talkative helped him learn some customs to help him understand the situation.
"You're right, this is what's strange." Wang Hongyu praised Qiao Jibai.
Seeing Wang Hongyu smiling and affirming to himself, Qiao Jibai was quite proud and thought that he would do more analysis in the future to prevent the general from treating me like a child.
A team of dozens of people came towards them, and when they were about to approach, their own guard wanted to stop them.
But suddenly, Zhou Yijie and many Sichuan Army veterans in the army recognized the person and suddenly shed tears.
"General, they are the family members of General Zhou."
Big brother’s family!
Wang Hongyu felt a surge of sadness and nostalgia in his heart, as if the original owner of the body had met them. Although he couldn't remember it, he was filled with real feelings.
The eldest brother's family came to pick him up.
Zhou Yijie and other veterans immediately greeted them, and Wang Hongyu also hurried to meet them.
The Zhou family members who arrived were headed by a man who looked to be about the same age as Zhou Yijie and was wearing ordinary linen clothes. After seeing the coffin, he knelt down and shouted to the sky: "Brother, I have been separated from you for three years. When we meet again,
But there is a gap between yin and yang!"
Dozens of other people wearing mourning clothes, all juniors, also knelt down to take Zhou Dunji home.
None of them cried, because Zhou Dunji was their pride and the pride of the entire Ming Dynasty. On the contrary, Wang Hongyu, who sent Zhou Dunji home, and the Hunhe soldiers who had gone through life and death together, shed tears when they recalled his deeds.
Zhou Yijie was once Zhou Dunji's confidant and a relative. He introduced to Wang Hongyu that the leader just now was Zhou Dunji's elder brother, Zhou Zhaoan.
】
Wang Hongyu remembered that his eldest brother had asked him to come to Yunyang and rely on his connections to deal with the She'an family. He wondered if his eldest brother's family knew about him.
"I am Wang Hongyu, the third brother who is sworn with my eldest brother Zhou Dunji and my second brother Zhang Shenwu..."
"Oh my! It's Wang Hongyu! After Dunji went to Liaodong, he wrote three letters to his family, and you took half of them each time!" Seeing that it was Wang Hongyu, Zhou Zhaoan excitedly stepped forward and held his hand.
Others wearing linen clothes include several cousins, and those wearing mourning clothes are all juniors, Zhou Dunji's two little nephews, and dozens of collateral relatives in the family.
Zhou Zhaoan introduced to everyone that they immediately left for the capital after hearing the news a month ago.
From Yunyang to Beijing, they did not choose the land route. Instead, they first took a speedboat along the Han River to the Yangtze River, then changed to a larger ship from Wuhan to Nanjing, and then went north along the Grand Canal.
Although this route through the Han River, the Yangtze River, and the Grand Canal is much longer than the land route, due to the smooth shipping in the Ming Dynasty and the high speed when going down the river, it is not slow to get to the capital.
After the previous group of people had arrived in Shandong along the Grand Canal, Wang Hongyu returned from the capital with Zhou Dunji.
Therefore, Zhou Dunji's eldest nephew, as well as a group of friends and old comrades-in-arms, have not arrived yet. It is estimated that they have arrived in the capital now and are heading to Yunyang along the road Wang Hongyu came from.
