Before he could recover, Yu Qian was led into the carriage by Zhu Zhanji. When he saw that Zhang Mao had indeed taken out some medicine from the carriage, Yu Qian's breathing suddenly stagnated slightly.

The arrogant and domineering image of Jin Yiwei is not unfamiliar to scholars like them.

However, he found that the Jin Yiwei in front of him seemed a little different from what he imagined.

Seeing that Zhang Mao had taken out the medicine, Yu Qian immediately thanked Zhu Zhanji and said:

"Thank you, sir!"

Hearing the future savior of Ming Dynasty thank him, the Zhu family, Zhu Zhanji felt a little funny in his heart, shook his head and said:

"That's right. It's just some medicine for injuries. It's not a big deal. You don't have to say thank you!"

Yu Qian was in a daze and didn't understand what "should" mean?

Zhang Mao began to treat the injuries on Yu Qian's face.

These minor injuries are not a big problem for Zhang Mao, who has a martial arts background. After all, injuries during daily martial arts training are inevitable. As long-term illness makes a doctor, Zhang Mao can handle these fist and foot injuries with ease.

Zhu Zhanji watched Zhang Mao start to treat Yu Qian's wounds, and then said:

"I heard just now that you went north from Zhejiang and experienced a lot along the way. Then you came to Yingtian. Counting the days, you should have read the first issue of the newspaper. I am very curious. The newspapers all said that Yan

The Holy Duke Kong Jin has abandoned his writing and joined the army. If so, as a scholar, why do you still oppose the Northern Expedition? And from what I see in your words and deeds, it seems that you are not a corrupt scholar with a benevolent woman. The Northern Expedition is also of great concern to me, the Ming Dynasty.

It’s very beneficial, and with your temperament, you should support it.”

Zhang Mao's treatment of the injury to this person who opposed the war was not gentle. Yu Qian would take a breath of cold air from time to time, but although it hurt, he did not cry out.

Hearing Zhu Zhanji's question, Yu Qian had a bit of pain on his face. He did not directly answer Zhu Zhanji's words, but cupped his hands and looked at Zhu Zhanji and asked:

"I, Yu Qian and Yu Tingyi, are from Qiantang, Hangzhou Prefecture, Zhejiang Province. I haven't asked you what your surname is?"

"Um……"

Zhu Zhanji calmed down slightly when he heard the words, and said with a smile: "My surname is Huang, my given name is Shun, and my courtesy name is Tai Zun. I should be a few years older than brother Yu Qian. Brother Yu Qian can just call me Brother Tai Zun!"

"Tai Zun?"

When Yu Qian heard this word, he was slightly stunned and felt strange.

After all, everyone's words are not chosen randomly, each has its own meaning.

The word "Tai Zun", whether it means "Tai Zun" or "Zun", is not a common word.

One means to climb high and look far away, the other means high position, and the two together mean to climb high and look high.

People who can take this name should have an unusual status.

However, Yu Qian didn't think much about it and just guessed that this word might have other meanings.

After all, this kind of thing is not impossible.

"Your Excellency is kind to Qian Qian, and since your Excellency asked me why I opposed the Northern Expedition, I will not hide it from you."

Yu Qian paused slightly, with a heavy expression on his face and said:

"Actually, I am opposed to the Northern Expedition. It is not for the sake of opposition. It is just that the time for the Northern Expedition is wrong. The people of the Ming Dynasty are now in poverty. There are many people suffering from drought and locust plagues. The fields are barren and the villages are empty. In addition, the southwest is not yet stable."

"If it were the Northern Expedition at this time, if Wala and the Ming Dynasty could fight to the death, it would be okay to say that with the might of our army, Wala would be defeated. However, in fact, it is impossible for Wala to fight to the death with the Ming Dynasty. If the battle situation is slightly unfavorable, Wala will retreat quickly.

, when the grassland is so big, our Ming army will not be able to completely solve the problem of Wala in one day, it will definitely take a long time,"

"But the Northern Expedition of the Ming Dynasty consumes a large amount of food and grass every day. However, now that there are constant disasters, even if the imperial court is rich, this food and grass will not last long. If Oara retreats, our Ming Dynasty's Northern Expeditionary Army will definitely not be able to pursue it for a long time.

, the food and grass are not enough, even if the fighter plane is right in front of us, we have to give up."

"In this way, the Northern Expedition will not be able to achieve full success. Even if it can win, it will not be a big blow to Wala, but it will waste our Ming Dynasty's national power. At present, the southwest is relatively stable. If it goes on for a long time and the national power is depleted, the north and south will definitely be reunited.

It’s difficult to take both things into account, and once things change, the consequences will be disastrous.”

"So I am not opposing the Northern Expedition, but I feel that the time is not right. The Northern Expedition will either not be fought, or we must be prepared for a long battle. But whether it is food, grass, or armaments, with our Ming Dynasty now

Under such circumstances, determination is difficult to achieve, so I oppose the Ming Dynasty's Northern Expedition at this time."

When Zhu Zhanji heard Yu Qian's words, his face looked a little dazed.

It has to be said that some people's talents are indeed innate.

If we follow the historical trajectory, Yu Qian's remarks just now almost predict the future situation of the Ming Dynasty.

Without me, my grandfather, a war madman, although he had made great achievements in battles throughout his life, was actually just as Yu Qian said.

Although the five Northern Expeditions all ended in victory, the results each time were really limited for both Oara and Tatar.

The first two times were okay, at least there were some results, although these results are not worth mentioning.

But when the Tatar Arutai was attacked later, as soon as the Ming army arrived, Arutai immediately ran away with his men and did not fight the Ming army at all.

As soon as the Ming army left, they immediately returned. Each Northern Expedition could be said to be a waste of national power.

So much so that later on, the Ming Dynasty could no longer take care of the land of Annan that it had conquered with its own hands, and could only let it rot and was forced to give up.

This is an ending that Zhu Zhanji could only see from the perspective of a latecomer, but Yu Qian was able to deduce such an outcome just by relying on what he saw and heard along the way.

This is what Zhu Zhanji admires most. As long as such talents are put to good use in the future, they will definitely be a blessing to the Ming Dynasty and the Zhu family.

When Yu Qian saw that Zhu Zhanji was silent, he thought that Zhu Zhanji did not agree with his point of view. There was no surprise on his face, but he showed a bit of self-mockery and said: "Sir, there is no need to worry about what I said, just take it as such."

It’s just some nonsense.”

Zhu Zhanji was thinking about how to subdue Yu Qian. When he heard this, he understood that Yu Qian had misunderstood him. However, after thinking about it for a moment, he did not explain anything, but changed the subject with a smile:

"I wonder why brother Yu Qian came to Yingtian this time?"

Hearing that Zhu Zhanji didn't ask about the Northern Expedition, Yu Qian also didn't mention it again. Hearing this, he touched the bruise that Zhang Mao had just treated for himself, and then took a breath of pain and didn't care.

road:

"I heard that the Imperial Academy's imperial concubine Li Shimian repeatedly offered wine in front of the palace a few days ago. The imperial concubine's grandson was angry that he thought he was a teacher, and wanted to set up a royal academy to stimulate the fighting spirit of the Imperial Academy's students.

I am curious, so I wanted to come and see what the difference is between this so-called Royal Academy and the Imperial Academy."

See the Royal Academy?

Gu Huan

Zhu Zhanji's face was a little stunned, and he glanced at Yu Qian speechlessly. He didn't know where he heard the news.

Now, due to the advent of cement, the Royal College has just started construction, and not even a few decent houses have been built yet.

Therefore, Zhu Zhanji did not publicize it in a big way, and it was not even published in newspapers.

So not many people actually know about the Royal Academy.

I don’t know where Yu Qian got the news. At this time, he ran to Yingtian to see the Royal Academy. Did he want to see the loneliness?

Shaking his head, Zhu Zhanji said truthfully and dumbfounded: "It seems that Brother Yu Qian is going to be disappointed. I know a little bit about the Royal Academy, but it was built according to the order given by the Grand Supervisor just a few months ago. It’s just a deserted land. If we want to wait until the college starts, it will probably be next fall at the earliest.”

"It hasn't been built yet?"

Yu Qian was stunned for a moment when he heard this. He obviously didn't know about this. When he heard Zhu Zhanji's words, he didn't feel that Zhu Zhanji was lying to him, and then he was a little disappointed and said:

"I'm actually a little impatient!"

Seeing the disappointed look on Yu Qian's face, Zhu Zhanji felt something in his heart and asked curiously: "Looking at brother Yu Qian's appearance, do you plan to enroll in the Royal Academy?"

As Zhu Zhanji spoke, he looked at Yu Qian carefully. At eighteen or nineteen years old, he was almost at the right age to enter the Imperial College.

If Yu Qian really had the idea of ​​entering the Royal Academy, Zhu Zhanji felt that he would not absorb it.

After all, Yu Qian is not very old now. Learning more about the knowledge he has prepared for the Royal Academy at this time will be a great thing for the future.

However, Yu Qian shook his head when he heard this and said: "I have never thought about enrolling in school. As I am, it is probably not easy to enroll in school. I just have some admiration for this grandson who proposed to establish the Royal Academy. That’s it!”

When he heard the first few words, Zhu Zhanji was quite disappointed, but when he heard Yu Qian say he admired him later, Zhu Zhanji's eyes couldn't help but light up.

He was still admiring this guy's vision just now, but he didn't expect that he would be admired by the person he admired again.

This is really the impermanence of life, the big intestine wraps up the small intestine.

He was a little funny in his heart, but also a little curious. He didn't know what it was that Yu Qian admired him for. After a slight pause, Zhu Zhanji asked curiously: "I wonder what brother Yu Qian admires about this grandson of the Supervisor?"

When Yu Qian heard this, he didn't think much about it. He paused and said, "I admire His Highness the Grand Sun's decisiveness in killing and his unique vision!"

As he spoke, Yu Qian's eyes shone a little brightly, and before Zhu Zhanji could continue to ask, he explained:

"Killing Ji Gang, demoting Li Shimian, running a newspaper, opening a college, no matter which one it is, it is beyond the reach of ordinary people, but His Highness Taisun has accomplished it all in a short period of time."

"Not only that, everything was done appropriately."

"There is no lack of decisiveness in this, but also a unique vision. Let's talk about the newspaper. As soon as the newspaper comes out, the road of public opinion will be opened. The imperial policy will be directly spread to the people. By then, the common people will know the imperial policy, and some corrupt officials will not think about it again. It will be very difficult to deceive the superiors and conceal the inferiors. Not only that, but mastering the newspaper also controls the mouthpiece of the world. Now the scholars all over the world have more ways to understand the current situation..."

The more Yu Qian talked, the more excited he became, and Zhu Zhanji nodded repeatedly.

Seeing how much Yu Qian praised him, he felt a little embarrassed.

But at the same time, he also felt that what the ancients said was indeed true.

What is this called? This is called heroes seeing the same thing!

"There is also the matter of the Royal Academy. Although I have not entered it, I have heard a lot of rumors these days. In the name of the Royal Academy, many scholars in the world are yearning for it. In this way, when the Royal Academy is opened, the world's elites will surely gather together.

, it will definitely be a major event in the Ming Dynasty."
