Chapter 112 A Big Topic Came Up

In the room, Fang Xing had a desperate expression on his face.

"Since the former Song Dynasty, it has become a habit for literati to govern the country. You can't deny this, can you?"

Fang Xing asked a question first, Zhu Zhanji nodded and said: "Indeed, the former Song Dynasty even shared the world with the scholar-bureaucrats."

"Then what happened?"

Fang Xing asked lightly, there is no need to answer this question.

In the Song Dynasty, the scholar-bureaucrats shouted to share the world, but they were the ones who finally ruined the world of the Song Dynasty.

"When it comes to Mengyuan, do those Han officials dare to claim to share the world? Under the temptation of the official position, these literati quickly followed Master Mengyuan triumphantly, even if they are slaves!"

Hearing that Fang Xing was mocking those literati again, Zhu Zhanji could only listen uncomfortably.

"But when Meng Yuan died, there were some people who were complacent and said something. Look, you Meng Yuan didn't reuse civil servants, so you really lost!"

Zhu Zhanji was a little interested, so he asked, "What about this dynasty?"

Fang Xing said boldly: "I don't think this dynasty can compare to the former Song Dynasty!"

Zhu Zhanji disagreed with this. He retorted: "Brother Dehua, the government of this dynasty is much better than that of the previous Song Dynasty. Moreover, those civil officials are also obedient. How can they repeat the mistakes of the previous Song Dynasty?" ?”

Fang Xing laughed and said, "That's because Taizu Gao killed too many corrupt officials and scared them of killing them, so it has benefited to the present."

"Taishun, believe me, the Ming scholars in the future will become a huge interest group, a group that even the emperor can't compete with."

Zhu Zhanji was a little shocked, listening to Fang Xing continue to say:

"When this interest group takes shape, Daming's fall is already doomed, and there is absolutely no hope of turning around!"

Fang Xing's attitude was so resolute that after he left, Zhu Zhanji was still thinking about what to say next.

"...Da Ming has three evils. One is the scholars who hug each other, they will gradually corrode the body of Daming; the second is the eunuchs who are indulged by the king. They are not the opponents of the scholars. Most of them are greedy and despicable. ..."

Looking at Fang Xing's back, Zhu Zhanji thought of the third one.

"The third is that the status of soldiers is low, even lower than that of the former Song Dynasty. Civil officials treat them like pariahs. In the end, they have no morale in the army. They respect generals, almost no different from private soldiers..."

"Go and check the rise and fall of the previous dynasty, see how the civil service system has changed, and how the army has degenerated. Check everything, and then try to find the pattern from it."

Fang Xing didn't dare to say some things, so he asked Zhu Zhanji to find the answer by himself, then reflect on it, and find a solution.

Looking at the sergeants in front of him who were not disturbed by the firecrackers, Fang Xing sighed, "It's a long road!"

...

Zhu Zhanji, who returned to the capital by accident, just met his parents, and then plunged into the vast royal classics. For several days, the prince and his wife couldn't figure out what he was doing.

The princess simply took Wanwan to find him, only to see a grandson of the emperor who was engrossed in reading a book.

"Zhanji, what are you doing?"

The princess felt a little strange in her heart, and was released by the King of Han who ordered her to read behind closed doors, but her son fell into the pile of old papers instead.

Zhu Zhanji looked up in the book and said: "Mom, brother Dehua gave me an interesting question, and I'm looking for the answer!"

Wan Wan pouted when she heard it: "Brother, Fang Xing is mine."

As a younger sister, she always has privileges, and she doesn't need to be called Huangxiong.

Zhu Zhanji was taken aback for a moment, and then laughed with the princess.

The princess lowered her head and touched Wanwan's soft head, and said with a smile, "Okay, Mr. Fang is yours."

And Zhu Di, who was far away in Beiping, also received information from the capital and a letter from Zhu Zhanji.

"Want to come back? Hahahaha!"

Zhu Di burst out laughing suddenly, then waved the letter paper in his hand and said with a smile: "The grandson of the emperor has just arrived in the capital, and he wants to come back soon."

Yang Rong on the side also smiled and said: "His Royal Highness misses His Majesty, right? If I had known earlier, I shouldn't have gone back. Could it be that I can't practice martial arts with His Majesty?"

Zhu Di was even happier when he heard the words, and took the initiative to explain to Zhu Zhanji: "This is the first time Zhanji can call the shots, how can he stand it?"

"It seems that His Highness still needs His Majesty's instruction!"

Yang Rong smiled, and it really aroused Zhu Di's complacency.

"Zhan Ji has been with me since he was a child, and he is proficient in horse bow and horse. I don't know that Fang Xing may satisfy him."

Yang Rong is good at judging things, and his military strategy has won Zhu Di's trust, so he said: "Your Majesty, I have heard of this Fang Xingchen, and he can be regarded as a young hero. If he is only used to train soldiers, I have nothing to say explain."

Zhu Di looked at the information sent by Jin Yiwei, and after a sigh, he passed the information to Yang Rong.

"Look."

After Yang Rong read it at a glance, he pondered for a moment, and said with a surprised expression: "This Fang Xing is beyond my expectation. I didn't expect him to have some military strategies. He knows to practice military discipline and formation first."

Zhu Di was also a little surprised. He didn't expect that Fang Xing, a scholar, would dare to fall out with the Ministry of War, and even train the soldiers very well.

"The way of soldiers is to put words first, but Fang Xing has acquired some essence. I don't know if it was a mistake."

Of course, Zhu Di and other fierce people know the way of training soldiers, so they pointed out Fang Xing's key points one by one.

...

"Be brave and fearless! No matter whether there are swords, guns or horseshoes in front, you have to rush forward when the military order is issued!"

Fang Xing stood at the front of the queue, and after watching the ten centurions standing neatly, he said: "On the battlefield, once the front team retreats, the rear team can kill them! The rear team retreats, and the supervising team will kill Of!"

"On the battlefield of blood and fire, only the brave can survive to the end, gain meritorious service, and gain wealth! And the cowardly will not die under the swords and guns of the enemy and the supervising team, but will also die on the way to escape. Therefore, I hope You can be brave!"

Fang Xing's words echoed on the training ground. With fat pork in one hand and a machete in the other, these sergeants knew what to do and what not to do.

Zhu Zhanji appeared with a haggard face, but his eyes were bright.

"Start practicing!"

Fang Xing took a few steps back, gave way to Lao Qi Xin, and then greeted Zhu Zhanji.

Seeing Zhu Zhanji's appearance, Fang Xing couldn't help but tease: "I said what's wrong with you? Could it be that you were beaten up by His Royal Highness?"

Zhu Zhanji didn't smile, but just walked side by side with Fang Xing.

"Brother Dehua, my little brother took a rough look at the officials and the army of the previous dynasty in the past few days, and found that the problems were all in the middle and late stages. There were even emperors who were fatuous and dishonest, which led to chaos in the country..."

Fang Xing listened with a smile, and after he finished speaking, he said with satisfaction: "That's right, but we still need to continue to look for the rules and examine the role each class plays in this cycle of chaos."

Zhu Zhanji wanted to go back when he heard the words, Fang Xing saw it and said hurriedly: "This matter can't be rushed, it has to be taken slowly. You not only have to search in the pile of old papers, but also compare the current situation of my Daming, and the situation at that time and the The current gains and losses in the economy and agriculture, combined with the two, you will find the law."
