Chapter 0023 I see, Zhang Haogu should be the first!
The exam papers are anonymous.
Even the marking officer didn’t actually know that this article was written by Zhang Haogu.
You can only evaluate based on your own preferences.
In fact, there is nothing wrong with the political philosophy of the Donglin Party members. They require honesty and integrity, revitalize officialdom, open up the channels of speech, eradicate the accumulated abuses of the government and the public, and oppose the corruption and perversion of the law by the powerful.
The first thing the Donglin Party did was to criticize the philosophical concept of Xinxue. They believed that Xinxue was pragmatic and that the so-called mind is reason was inconsistent with reality. Therefore, what the Donglin Party promoted was actually practical learning, believing that
Action is what scholars should do. I believe that Confucianism should seek truth and be pragmatic, remove some red tape, and not engage in formalism.
In fact, if you look carefully, the truth is still the same.
The policy program of the Donglin Party is still based on the learning of Confucius, Mencius, Cheng and Zhu. They cannot come up with any practical strategies, but blindly believe in political enlightenment. They regard themselves as moralists but cannot cure the current ills.
As the guiding ideology and action program of the Donglin Party, the "Donglin Meeting" regards Confucian classics as the outline of governing the country and as the eternal principles of nature.
The concept is very good, but the butt is very crooked.
Show off your integrity, and then demand benefits for business and the people, and reduce taxes.
The moral values of the Donglin Party members are stubborn and rigid, and their noble moral character of caring about the country and the people is not at all inconsistent with their prohibition of the court from collecting their own taxes.
enlightenment
This is also one of the important political concepts of the Donglin Party.
Use both suppression and appeasement, education and killing the mind, this is the kingly way.
If you deviate from your own ideas, you will definitely be rejected.
Anyone who does not accept the Donglin Party's ideas is the enemy.
How could the enemy pass?
Warm pavilion!
Zhu Youzheng is playing with the clockwork frog.
But in his heart, he was thinking about what Zhang Haogu would look like if he saw him.
Thinking about it, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but laugh.
Today, the exams are being marked on one side and the Gongsheng students on the other side are also waiting.
When the marking is over, the emperor will meet with the top three.
When Zhao Nanxing placed the list and examination papers in front of Zhu Youxiao.
Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but frowned.
Why is this Zhang Haogu’s test paper not among the top three?
Tossing and turning
Zhu Youxiao read it over and over again for a long time before he raised his head and looked at Zhao Nanxing in confusion: "Why don't you see Zhang Haogu's test paper?"
Zhao Nanxing was slightly stunned, and then said: "Your Majesty, do we all think that Zhang Haogu's examination paper is not superior?"
Zhu Youxiao raised his eyelids and glanced at Zhao Nanxing, then slowly said: "What do you mean?"
Zhao Nanxing spoke slowly: "Zhang Haogu's examination paper proposed five strategies for governing the Liao Dynasty. The strategies are general. If you want to deal with the establishment of slaves, it is not feasible to suppress them blindly. It is better to use both suppression and appeasement. Punishing the heart is the best.
It is better to kill people blindly than to kill the heart. The barbarians entering China and becoming Han is the way of enlightenment of the sages. Zhang Haogu’s strategy emphasizes technique but not strategy, but it is inferior. Naturally, such an article cannot be accepted!"
Zhu Youxiao's face looked a little ugly.
At that moment, Zhu Youxiao said coldly: "Bring it here and show it to me!"
emperor!
Zhao Nanxing wanted to say something else, but Zhu Youxiao emphasized his tone: "Bring it here!"
Seeing that Zhao Nanxing was indifferent, Zhu Youxiao became even more impatient. He glanced at Wei Zhongxian beside him and said, "Big companion, go get it!"
Wei Zhongxian immediately bowed: "Old slave, take your orders!"
After a while, Wei Zhongxian came to Zhu Youxiao with a copy of the examination paper.
"Your Majesty!" Wei Zhongxian respectfully handed the examination paper to Zhu Youxiao.
Zhu Youxiao opened the examination paper and read it carefully.
He is not illiterate.
He doesn’t know anything about military affairs, on the contrary, he is still very interested.
Wei Zhongxian also knew it well.
Ever since Xiong Tingbi and Wang Huazhen lost Liaodong, Tianqi had been thinking about this matter every day. Although Sun Chengzong could hold it, for Zhu Youxiao, holding it was definitely not the goal. He wanted to take back the entire territory of Liaodong.
Governing Liao
This is Zhu Youxiao's purpose.
He also wanted to know whether his master was really capable.
Just after reading Zhang Haogu's article, Zhu Youxiao was immersed in it.
Zhang Haogu's article explains the profound things in simple terms.
First, an overall comparison was made between the Ming Dynasty and Jiannu.
One is strong and the other is weak, pointing out that although Jiannu has sufficient fighting power, in fact, he cannot afford to lose.
The Ming Dynasty could lose once, twice, three times, or even dozens of times, but Jiannu could not lose a few times. As long as they were hit hard once, they would have to recuperate for a long time.
This point of view gave Zhu Youxiao a feeling of sudden enlightenment.
In terms of overall strength comparison, Ming Dynasty still beats Jiannu.
Being a slave was just a moment of courage.
However, Zhu Youxiao quickly calmed down. He also knew very well that it was difficult to fight Jiannu.
It would have been better if I could fight it.
If it could be destroyed, it would have been destroyed long ago.
The key reason is that although Ming Dynasty's overall strength is strong, without silver, what can it do with an income of more than three million taels of silver a year?
As the emperor, since he came to the throne, he has found that almost everyone reaches out to him to ask for money. Those who are suffering from disasters ask for money from him, and those who are fighting also ask for money from him. Where can so much money come from?
Of course, Zhang Haogu also mentioned this point, because the comprehensive national strength is not enough, and the national strength needs to be integrated, and the national strength should be unified and integrated, which is the new system reform. Of course, Zhang Haogu did not write it in detail. As soon as the topic changed, he changed it to
Other ideas.
Train new troops, increase the development of new weapons, carry out long-distance raids and guerrilla warfare within Jurchen territory, and try to weaken the enemy and strengthen ourselves as much as possible.
There is also a navy and landing from the sea from time to time.
The Jurchens came out in force and went around to the thieves behind him. If the Jurchens were forced to return, they pressed forward.
In short, the Jurchens cannot be given any chance to develop and grow.
There is also a thorough internal investigation. Dongchang and Jinyiwei must be mobilized quickly. There must be spies in the Ming Dynasty who communicate with the slaves and have been smuggling for a long time. They must be thoroughly investigated.
This condition makes the idea clear.
At least, Zhu Youxiao knew at a glance that Zhang Haogu was definitely capable.
Let’s take a look at the other top three articles.
What to say, use both suppression and appeasement.
Advocate for enlightenment.
Education is a hammer.
If the slaves could be civilized, could they still rise up and rebel?
Zhu Youxiao scorned the way of education.
Zhang Haogu's articles are the real words of advice for the country.
I don’t talk too much nonsense, and I don’t tell you any teaching methods. I just tell you exactly what to do, and even every step is planned for you.
How to spend as little money as possible to achieve the greatest tactical effect.
Using one's own advantages to weaken the opponent as much as possible is the way to seek the country.
Education, you have a hammer to use.
Putting down Zhang Haogu's test paper, Zhu Youxiao said unhurriedly: "I think Zhang Haogu should be number one!"
