After the "Dawn Meeting", Chen Zizhuang asked Zhu Youlang to see him alone.

"Your Majesty, I question the strategy of consultant Qian."

"Tell me the reason."

"Yes. Your Majesty, if we follow the strategy of Consul Qian, our army will be trapped on both sides and left and right, forming a stalemate with the Qing soldiers, allowing Zhang Jiayu's middle lane to be attacked by the enemy's main force. This kind of fighting style is too rigid and it is impossible to eliminate the Qing soldiers flexibly and maneuverably."

"What about you?"

"Your Majesty, according to my opinion, the left-wing army can give up Jingzhou and lead the Qing army to enter, so that they can continue to divide the troops, and then eliminate the enemy in mobile warfare. The right-wing army can also do this. The strategy of besieging Quzhou to attack reinforcements seems to be to let the Qing army figure it out thoroughly and can't continue to fight like this."

"Well, it's right, your idea coincides with me. However, the deployment you mentioned is not the best time to implement. I am waiting, waiting for the Qing soldiers to reveal their flaws, then annihilate Luo Luohun and Wu Sangui, and wait until Li Dingguo makes his move, then head north to Zhili in the south, surrounded Jiergalang's 200,000 troops in Jiangxi, and then annihilate them in one fell swoop."

"That Majesty, what you said today..."

"Jisheng, if you don't come, I will send someone to announce you. I ask you, don't you think there is anything strange about the loss of Xiangyang and Jiujiang?"

"Strange? Your Majesty, are you saying that someone has leaked our military plan in advance?"

"Jisheng, do you have doubts too? Why didn't you report me earlier?"

"Your Majesty, I am just a little suspicious and have no evidence. I also think this matter is too incredible. You must know that those who understand the overall combat plan are all trusted ministers of the emperor. How dare I talk nonsense without evidence?"

"Okay, needless to say. I can trust you, and you must trust me too. I can tell you that someone has indeed surrendered to the Qing court in secret."

"Ah? Your Majesty, who is it? Why not arrest it?"

"Jisheng, thinking about the Battle of Chibi, Cai Zhong and Cai He pretended to surrender. Zhou Yu could tell at a glance, why didn't he expose them?"

"Save him to pass the message! Your Majesty, I understand."

...

Chen Zizhuang untied his knot and left happily. As for the advice, he had long been left behind.

The emperor is acting, what else can I understand?

In fact, Zhu Youlang is not all acting.

The new policy and the cultivation of talents are also very important, and it must not be abandoned because of the arrival of war.

The new policy must be implemented. During wartime, the production relations in the war zone will be greatly damaged, and it is just right to take advantage of this to establish a new type of production relations. At this time, it is much less difficult to implement than to implement them after victory.

Talent training is equally important. When the war is over, talents who uphold the concept of the new policy must be topped off, especially at the county magistrate level. These talents are the most basic part of the power structure and must be consolidated.

...

Wang Fuzhi is one of the talents Zhu Youlang admires the most, and is even above Huang Zongxi and Gu Yanwu, because Wang Fuzhi is particularly interested in philosophy and has deep thoughts and research on philosophy.

What is philosophy? Philosophy is a theoretical system about worldview and methodology. Worldview is about the essence of the world, the fundamental laws of development, the understanding of the fundamental relationship between human thinking and existence, and methodology is the fundamental method for human beings to understand the world.

It is the most important tool to change the world.

As long as he passes on the dialectical materialist thought to him and lets him form his own theoretical system and teaches him in the Imperial College, he will be able to support a large number of followers. In time, this correct worldview and methodology will gradually form a consensus among the literati, thereby serving himself with a powerful Ming Empire.

A while ago, Zhu Youlang was worried about the war and forgot all the affairs of the Imperial College. Now he let go of his worries. The war cannot be completed in one or two days, so he remembered this important thing again.

In the eyes of others, he avoids the important things. Perhaps, some people think that he has no choice but to face Qiang Qing's attack.

Zhu Youlang doesn’t care what others think, he is just trying to give people the impression that he is not doing his job properly.

...

The next day, Zhu Youlang went to the Imperial College after changing his clothes.

The Imperial College is located in the west of the city, facing north and south.

Zhu Youlang stood outside the gate and looked carefully. He saw that the storefront was very wide, with three large characters above the lintel - "Jixianmen".

The door is closed and the small door is opened next to it.

Zhu Youlang knew that the main door could not be opened normally. Only when the emperor came in person or had a commemoration for major events could the middle door be opened. Usually, officials and students who came and went to the small door could only go through the small door.

Zhu Youlang did not disturb Wang Fuzhi and led his men into the small gate.

After entering the gate, Zhu Youlang saw a stone statue at a glance, which was the statue of Confucius's teachings.

Zhu Youlang stood in front of the statue and looked at it. It was too different from Confucius' teachings I saw in Beijing in his previous life. One reason was that it was not big enough, and the other was that the carving was not detailed.

Looking further north, there is a main hall, called "Dacheng Hall". After "Dacheng Hall", it is the official house, the school house, the library, etc.

Zhu Youlang thought to himself: "Wang Fuzhi is considered to be devoted. Although he cannot compare with the Imperial College in Beijing, although the sparrow is small, he has all the internal organs, and he can also be considered to have what he should have."

I walked in and was deserted all the way. I didn't see many people. I came to an official house and saw a servant standing in front of the door to serve him.

Li Hong stepped forward and asked, "Where is the king of wine?"

The man was stunned when he heard this. The man's voice was clearly a eunuch. Looking back, he saw Zhu Youlang and Bai Xing, both wearing regular clothes.

He was not sure of the identities of these people, and he was stunned for a moment and said, "My master is here. Who are you? What's the matter? Do you need to inform me?"

"No need to inform me, I'll go and see what Lord Jiji is doing?" After Zhu Youlang said that, he turned his hand back and entered with a high spirit.

"Ah? The emperor is here! I'll kowtow to the emperor!" When the servant heard this, he was so shocked that his face changed color and quickly kowtowed.

"What are you doing so loudly? I'll remind Wang Fuzhi? Don't say it, it's quite clever." Zhu Youlang thought to himself.

When he entered the house, Zhu Youlang almost laughed out loud.

No wonder Wang Fuzhi's servant changed his face and color, and even reminded him loudly. It turned out that Wang Fuzhi was wearing a short shirt and rolling up his sleeves, and was writing at his desk.

Hearing the servant's reminder, Wang Fuzhi was stunned. He stopped writing and looked up. A handsome young man stood in front of him, smiling at him.

Who isn't the emperor?

"Ah? Your Majesty, why are you here?" Wang Fuzhi asked in a daze.

"What, can't I come?" Zhu Youlang asked with a smile.

"Ah, I am rude. I am wrong in this way. I am rude to the emperor and ask the emperor to punish me!" Wang Fuzhi then reacted and started writing in a hurry. He had no time to put on his official clothes, quickly put down his sleeves, rushed to the desk, and knelt down to apologize.
