Great fusion of heaven and earth

Chapter 618 Another Dark History of the Old Wang Family
Wang Dan was twirling his beard there. Others didn't know what he was doing, but Kou Zhun and the others knew it clearly. There was something there that stumped him.

"Wang Xiang, what are you thinking about, but you are thinking about the Wang family?"

Kou Zhun looked at Wang Dan and asked.

"No, the Wang family is divided into dozens of branches. This matter was settled after Taiyuan City was burned. If it weren't for the main world to intervene, our clan is gone now, and our surnames have risen. This is the point now. People surnamed Wang did a good job, but what I thought was that Confucianism had already been established in the Ming Dynasty, so why did there appear so many strange practices in the Ming Dynasty, especially at the end of the Ming Dynasty, none of the famous officials were Confucian scholars who had rectified the Eight Classics. There is a feeling of famous officials in the Han Dynasty, it’s just a weird era, if Daming hadn’t been overthrown, they would be able to play the resurrection of a hundred schools by themselves, talents are all talents.”

Looking at the materials of those famous officials in the late Ming Dynasty, Wang Dan couldn't help feeling a little bit confused. They all said that the Wang family had strange practices. Now it seems that there were many strange practices in Confucianism in the Ming Dynasty.

"Emperor Chongzhen, I don't know if you have collected materials about the Yangming Mind School in your dynasty and the Taizhou School and Zhezhong School in your later studies. If there is, my Wang family will ask for a copy. As a price, the food is one million Ton, oh, one ton of grain is worth about ten stones in our Song Dynasty, and one million tons of grain is worth tens of millions of stones, is this business possible?"

Wang Dan arched his hands at Zhu Youjian and said.

Although the status of Confucianism has been reduced, the status of these academic materials has not been reduced much. Besides, there are not many Confucian materials of Yangming Xinxue, Taizhou School, and Zhezhong School in later generations. The literary inquisition has almost been destroyed, making the Taizhou School disappear directly from the position of prominent learning, so that many people in later generations can only conduct research through a few words, which is a pity. Wang Dan now wants to take this opportunity to collect Look at the first-hand information and enrich your own internal library.

"Does anyone of you remember the name of the founder of Yangming Mind School and Taizhou School?"

Kou Zhun said something in a slow and drawn out tone, which made everyone recover from thinking about this strange phenomenon in the late Ming Dynasty, and everyone started to gasp.

The Wang family really deserves to be a thousand-year-old family. The centipede is dead but not stiff. The strange family is the strange family. This has obviously split itself, but I didn't expect it to be so weird.

Wang Yangming and Wang Gen are both members of the Wang family. One established a sect in Confucianism, and the other directly started a new one. If it wasn't for the Manchu Qing Dynasty's entry into the customs, they vigorously attacked the study of the mind and promoted the Confucianism. The Wang family directly turned the tables. Confucianism, which was established for thousands of years, was beaten and disabled in one day. This was done under Zhu Ming's suppression.

Especially Wang Gen, who was born in Zao Ding. He didn't know a few big characters before studying. He was taught in a school at the age of seven, and the story of being poor and unable to study has been passed down. At the age of 19, he went out to do business with his father and paid homage to him in Shandong. When I was in the Confucian Temple, I was greatly inspired, thinking that "the master is also a human being, and I am also a human being, and a sage can learn from it."

Then this guy spent more than ten years teaching himself to become a great Confucian. Who the hell is this? Can you learn from a hundred schools of thought, and then create a hundred schools of thought yourself?
If we link the chaos of the late Ming Dynasty with the turmoil in the ideological world of this period, it can also be explained that the end of the world is inseparable from the Taizhou School. Although I don’t want to admit it, the Donglin Party can be regarded as the direct successor of Xinxue.

Zou Yuanbiao, one of the three monarchs of the Donglin Party, studied under Hu Zhi when he was young, and when Hu Zhi was young, he worshiped Wang Yangming's disciples Ouyang De and Luo Hongxian as his teachers, and carried forward Wang Menxinxue.

But later, when Mr. Donglin Gu Xiancheng rebuilt Donglin Academy, he made it very clear that he taught Cheng Zhu Neo Confucianism, advocating that intellectuals should return to Confucianism, dare to face reality, interfere in politics, and pay attention to people's livelihood. They are all true to the source, returning the orthodox position of Confucianism, and abandoning Wang Yangming's boastful style of study.

That is to say, there is also a big split within Donglin. The early Donglin was a disciple of Xinxue, and the later Donglin was a disciple of Neo Confucianism.

Coupled with Yangming's philosophy of mind, by the late Ming Dynasty, it had become a malpractice: it created a bad style of study for literati - aversion to the ordinary, the pursuit of novelty, and the result is an empty stomach and a high heart.

All these add up to form the wonderful form of the Donglin Party.

All of them only talk about morality, have an empty stomach, dare to face reality, interfere in politics, and pay attention to people's livelihood, but they have no practical measures, and they are all seeking benefits for themselves and the forces behind them. The biggest partisan struggle.

If all of this is pursued, it can be placed on the head of the Wang family.

Kou Zhun's words made everyone think. Everyone felt that after the split of the Wang family, it seemed that it was easier for the Wang family to produce those strange species, and the ability of the old Wang family in the Ming Dynasty was really different. The gap between the strange species and the strange species was also extremely big.

And Old Wang Dan also thought about these problems at this time, and he also began to think whether the strange instinct of the Wang family had been deformed, otherwise, why did he sacrifice a dynasty when there was an academic expert this time.

But everyone knows that these things are just a black history that was recorded as a joke and not counted. Besides, the Wang family disintegrated itself in the Song Dynasty, and it was divided into dozens of branches in history. Learning this thing can only be said to be a big boss from the Wang family, but the Ming Dynasty is still a problem with the Little Ice Age and the emperor.

Thinking of this, everyone looked at Zhu Youjian who didn't know what was going on. This one was confused, and Zhu Huan beside him pressed him directly, preventing him from agreeing to Wang Dan's deal, because In his opinion, the data of the three companies should be one million tons each, so that the Northern Daming controlled by Zhu Youjian can retain some vitality.

Wang Dan agreed to Zhu Huan's request after thinking for a while, but he also made a request. He wanted to meet those rare breeds of Confucian background, that is, those who had changed from civil to military and had achieved good results. Personally, Sun Chuanting, Lu Xiangsheng, Hong Chengchou, and Yuan Chonghuan also want to meet if possible.

He wanted to know how these people went directly from Confucianism to military school.

That's right, these few have changed from Confucianism to military strategists, and if there were no soldiers, horses, money and food for them in the late Ming Dynasty, these people, in his opinion, could at least grow into second-class top generals, and Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Chuanting, if these two people directly hold the military power of the Ming Dynasty, there is a chance to bring Daming back to life.
