The establishment of Jinling Women's College caused an uproar in the capital. Those old-fashioned old men were so angry that their beards straightened and criticized this deviant behavior. A woman must look like a woman. Only if she does not leave the door or steps forward, can she be a chaste lady.
, go to the academy to study like a man? How unbecoming! It’s simply earth-shaking!
What does a woman do? She gives birth to children and reproduces, so why do she read so many books? The ancients said well that a woman’s lack of talent is a virtue. If she has read enough poems and books, wouldn’t she be on the same level as a man? Then as the head of the family, a man
How can the Lord's authority be maintained? How can the husband's authority be revitalized? No, absolutely not, Jinling Women's College cannot be allowed to open under any circumstances.
Jinling Women's College is a women's university with a very narrow student base. It mainly caters to ladies from the capital. All aristocratic women study in their own private schools, but after all, private schools are no better than academies and have restrictions in all aspects. If these ladies
If you want to go to a higher level, Jinling Women's College is an excellent choice. Since it is a women's college, men are strictly prohibited from entering, and it is not a dormitory system. There are sedans to and from the school, so there is no doubt about the safety. So on the surface, enrollment
The situation should be ideal.
But the fact is exactly the opposite. On the first day of the establishment of Jinling Women's College, not a single student signed up. It is famous that those ladies in the capital really want to study in the academy to enrich their knowledge and get in touch with the outside world.
Jinling Academy is where young talents from all over the world gather, and classics of calligraphy and painting from all over the world are also collected there. Such a good place is simply too tempting for these young girls.
However, the resistance of the family was far greater than the temptation. The master and his wife were afraid that their daughter would be gossiped about if she entered the academy, so they would not let her go. Even those parents who doted on their daughters could not withstand the criticism of the moralists and did not dare to send their daughters there.
read.
There is a group of powerful feudal guardian priests in the capital. The composition of these people is relatively complicated. There are high-ranking officials in the imperial court, low-level officials who cannot climb up, and some old scholars and old candidates who have been unable to enter school for many years. The ages of these people are
They range from their twenties to their eighties, with more than 60% of them being elderly. Their common characteristics are rigid thinking, old-fashioned behavior, and they are all busybodies.
The moralists organized spontaneously to boycott the Jinling Women's College. First, they strictly prohibited their female relatives from studying, and then they declared that if any female family member in the capital dared to go to the Jinling Women's College, they would block the door of their house and curse them for three days and three nights.
, making their family unable to hold their head high in the capital from now on.
In this way, who else dares to go to Jinling Women's Hospital? Don't dare to underestimate these old stubborns. They can quite represent the aspirations of a large number of people. These people have always been dissatisfied with the current social conditions. The society of merchants, warriors and even craftsmen
The rapid improvement in status caused the literati to accumulate a lot of resentment. They could not figure out where the situation was, and they could not change this reality, so they had to vent their anger on the newly born Jinling Women's Academy.
Even though the backstage of the Women's College is Jinling Academy, and the backstage of Jinling Academy is Liu Ziguang, the Marquis of Zhenwu, the old diehards don't buy it. They are sure that Liu Ziguang will not use force on such a trivial matter, so they are emboldened and openly clamor for Jinling Women's College.
If it really started, a few old guys would protest in protest.
Not to mention, they really took action. They got some refined fire oil from somewhere, put it in jars and jars, and placed it at the entrance of the academy. Several old men with white beards had ribbons on their foreheads and were sitting cross-legged in shrouds.
He was still holding a candle in his hand, and he was mumbling something unknown.
Liu Ziguang originally wanted Zhong Shouyong to send the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division to drive away these old men, but considering that if someone died, it would be bad for the reputation of the women's house, and if he used force, his methods would be too inferior, so he
Still planning to think of other ways.
Completely opposite to the old die-hards, the young scholars are extremely supportive of the establishment of Jinling Women's College. Although it is a co-educational, vanilla beauty, it is a different college, it is enough to arouse people's imagination and make people imagine.
.But they support it. After all, the social influence of young men aged 17 or 18 is not as good as that.
The voices of support from these old guys only stayed inside and outside the academy and could not reach the capital at all.
The middle-aged bureaucrats who have the right to speak have reserved their attitude towards this debate. The war in the north has not yet been decided. Hong Chengchou led the Qing army to defeat Jing's encirclement and suppression many times, abandoned Zhending Mansion, successfully moved to Shanxi, and defended various areas in the Taihang Mountains.
Pass, blocking the Jing army from the outside, sent Zhou Peigong from Shandong to Shanxi, and Wang Fuchen's troops were a step too late and failed to enter Shanxi. Facing Hong Chengchou, they were unwilling to fight, and Zu Dashou did not dare to force them, for fear that they would mutiny and join the Qing Dynasty.
The army camp and the battlefield in Shanxi were in a stalemate.
The situation in Mongolia and outside the customs is better. Liu Ziguang's sworn brother Zhamuhe has become a soaring eagle since he came to the grassland. He started as a hundred Mongolian red shirt cavalry and relied on bravery and
With strong support, they quickly wiped out all the Mongolian tribes and re-established the Chahar tribe.
Zhamuhe was originally just a junior officer of the Chahar tribe and had no noble status. However, in order to increase his appeal, Liu Ziguang helped him forge the identity of Lin Dan Khan's uncle, saying that he was Lin Dan, the former great Khan of the Chahar tribe.
Khan's grandfather Buyan Xuechan Khan once passed by Zhamuhe's widowed mother's tent and slept in it, and then Zhamuhe came to be. Over the years, Zhamuhe has never acknowledged his ancestors and returned to the clan, but just silently
They are making contributions to the tribe. Now that the tribe has been destroyed by the Horqin people, Zhamu and his uncle Lin Danhan have the responsibility to shoulder the heavy responsibility of revitalizing Chahar.
The news that Lin Danhan's uncle had returned to the grassland quickly spread as far as the eagle's wings could fly. The herdsmen who had been oppressed by the Manchus and Horqin people rejoiced and all actively joined the troops of Zhamu and the Khan.
He didn't just go to the grassland to catch the autumn breeze with empty hands. He not only brought freedom, but also brought rich goods from the Central Plains, brick tea, tobacco leaves, fine wine, non-toxic canned food, and excellent steel mouths.
The herdsmen armed with swords and Lianfeng sabers produced by the Liguo Iron Works continued to join the ranks of Zhamu and the Khan with their war horses and bows. It didn't take long to grow from a hundred cavalry to tens of thousands. Mongolia
The grassland is considered peaceful.
Nalan Mingzhu's troops outside the customs lost contact with the Kangxi regime, and faced double pressure from the Ming army and the Koryo people. In addition, Mingzhu's family members were all in Beijing, so their attitude was very ambiguous. The two sides first ceased war and then sent envoys to negotiate peace.
During the negotiations, although the Qing government outside the Pass hated Liu Ziguang because he burned the Shengjing Palace and other people's ancestral graves, a major war was probably unlikely to start.
Not to mention the Koreans, they sent a surrender in a jittery manner. Li Zhu himself did not mention the title of emperor, but also wrote a letter of repentance to Zhu Youxiao in his own hand, admitting that his obsession had been exploited by the Manchus, and vowed to never do it again in the future.
If you do not betray the Ming Dynasty, please also ask the Ming Dynasty not to support the Jin Zaicao rebels in northern Goryeo, and to restore Goryeo to a unified situation.
The imperial court had no time to care about the affairs of the Korean people. Now everyone was focusing on the war in the west. As Wu Sangui's Hunan army entered Henan, Yuan Chonghuan finally had the courage to start a war with the Xixia people. The army marched out of Tongguan and marched all the way. Who would have known?
He made the same mistake as Xu Zengshou and was divided and surrounded by the highly mobile Xixia army. He lost a large number of troops and returned in defeat.
The composition of the Ming army and the Xixia army were completely different. Yuan Chonghuan's army was divided into five and five, half were regiments trained in Henan, and one was the disciples from Huguang brought by Wu Sangui. The core force of the regiment in Henan was the bandits and horse thieves recruited, supplemented by hungry people.
The common people and the Huguang troops are composed of the remaining troops of Zuo Liangyu in Wuchang and Xiangjiang children recruited from the Shaoyang area of Changsha, as well as a small number of Miao soldiers and wolf soldiers who assist in the battle. The composition of the troops is relatively complex. Although there are many people, their combat effectiveness and combat experience are not high.
The ability to organize and coordinate is not strong either. Especially those bandits and horse thieves, who can run rampant in the local area, but once they arrive in a strange place, their eyes darken and they turn into stupid birds.
Let’s talk about the Xixia Army. They are serious Mongolian elite soldiers. Different from the northern Mongolians in Shungerile, the western Mongolians are more powerful. They are simply a replica of the Mongolian army in the Genghis Khan era, but with better equipment and better style.
More savage and extremely powerful in combat.
Yuan Chonghuan is also a famous general. He is rigorous in running the army and is familiar with military books. He once trained the mud-like Xuzhou Army into the strongest army of the Ming Dynasty, and defeated the Qing Army in two southern expeditions. He has rich experience in fighting the enemy, and Wu Sangui is also
In recent years, the most famous young general second only to Liu Ziguang, with his white horse and silver spear, was proud of the battlefield and wiped out the Tu tribe of Yunnan and Guizhou.
The two of them are definitely a golden partner, and even Liu Ziguang is quite optimistic about them.
For the war in the west, various prefectures and counties in the south of the Yangtze River raised a large amount of food and grass. The Ministry of War customized a large number of armors, swords and guns from major weapons manufacturers, as well as a large number of artillery, flintlock muskets, sounding balloons, etc., although they were not as good as those of the Red Shirt Army.
level, but it can also be regarded as a semi-firearms-type army armed to the teeth.
However, such an advanced army was actually defeated, and it was defeated so miserably. Tens of thousands of lives were lost outside Tongguan. The court was afraid of unstable public sentiment, so it kept the news blocked. The big officials of the court were busy discussing matters all day long.
There is no owner and no mess left to stir up into a pot of porridge. How can I have the time to care about the bad affairs of Jinling Women's Academy?
Liu Ziguang surrendered his military power and did not even attend the morning court. He also took a long leave to attend to his own affairs, accompany pregnant women, hold children, and take care of the affairs of the academy. He lived a leisurely life. Of course, his intelligence system was still intact.
At work, all the information from the courts across the country is collected on his desk every day, and nothing can be hidden from his eyes.
After the defeat in the west, Liu Ziguang felt uncomfortable, but he did not take the initiative to ask for help. On the one hand, the court did not inform him, a retired general, of the war situation. On the other hand, he had many things to do at home. If Zhao Wen gave birth to the child,
When he is not around at all times, this father is not at ease.
