"Youqiao, what do you think of this topic?" Huang Tifang was still immersed in the ecstasy brought by the new discovery, and did not notice that Zhang Peilun's expression had changed. "Although the title is good, it's just too despicable and sinister!" Zhang Peilun said coldly, "And it's an unfounded charge, which is not enough to convince the world!" Right?" Huang Tifang realized that there was something wrong with Zhang Peilun's words, and turned to look at Zhang Peilun, "I will do whatever it takes to deal with traitors like Lin Yizhe, and I won't show any kindness to a woman!" "But Lin Yizhe, it's true! Are you a traitor?" Zhang Peilun asked loudly. "He devoted himself to serving ghosts, deceiving the public with demonic theories, and using insidious means to destroy the ministers who remonstrated. How can he not be a rebellious minister?" Huang Tifang became rude when he heard Zhang Peilun's unkind voice. "Seeing how this man disrupted Britain with newsprint, you know that his character and methods are the same as those of Zhang Yuan and Wu Hao! If he can disrupt Britain, he can disrupt our Qing Dynasty! If we don't get rid of him early, he will be a big trouble in the future!" " Shulan's words are wrong! Although Lin Yizhe has always been an enemy of scholars, it is just because of his enthusiasm for foreign affairs. The reputation of Zhang Yuan and Wu Hao as a traitor is too much." Zhang Zhidong saw that the two of them were stiff and stood up hurriedly. Xie advised, "No matter what, his great contribution to expelling the Japanese pirates and preserving Taiwan cannot be erased. The imperial court has repeatedly rewarded him, which is also a reward for his great contributions. You say that he is a rebellious official and a traitor. Where do you put the imperial rewards?" "Although Zhang Zhidong was persuading, he also had a vague intention of blaming Huang Tifang. After all, the label of a traitor and a traitor cannot be dismissed casually. "That's one or two ministers who were seduced by him, and the rewards and punishments are unknown!" Huang Tifang knew that the label he just said as "a traitor and a traitor" was inappropriate. He had the intention of slandering the imperial court, so he quickly changed his words. He praised the imperial court a few words, "Taiwan's victory over the Japanese was due to the imperial court's planning and the sacrifice of the former enemy's soldiers. He, Lin Yizhe, a white-faced scholar, was just greedy for the merits of heaven and earth for himself!" Seeing what Huang Tifang said, Zhang Zhizhi The hole was not good and I couldn¡¯t say anything more, so I could only sit down again. "Shu Lan. There is something wrong with Lin Yizhe, but merit is merit and fault is fault. We cannot generalize." Zhang Peilun suppressed his temper, slowed down his tone and said, "If you want to impeach him, you must also have solid evidence. "Don't make false accusations and harm yourself." "Huang must not agree with what Youqiao said!" Huang Tifang protested, "In Huang's eyes, Lin Yizhe doesn't have half of the credit!" What a treacherous villain! " "Shu Lan has such a big tone! In your eyes, establishing a ship administration, running a navy, and exterminating Japanese pirates are not considered achievements!" Zhang Peilun's voice rose again when he heard Huang Tifang's answer. "Lin Yizhe personally went into battle to snipe and kill the Japanese chief. Doesn't it count as a credit?" "That was just Lin Yizhe's move to gain fame and reputation!" Huang Tifang argued forcefully. "How can anyone be so willing to trade for fame and reputation? To trade for fame and reputation with their own lives?" Zhang Peilun sneered heavily. "Can you rinse the orchid and show it to me?" Huang Tifang was so angry that she couldn't find the words to refute for a while. His face turned red instantly. "When you only judge people's merits and demerits based on their likes and dislikes, do you think what you believe will always be right? Is there no other person in the world who can surpass you?" Zhang Peilun continued unceremoniously. "Youqiao's words are serious! Huang doesn't dare!" Huang Tifang cupped his hands and said proudly, "This is not Huang's opinion. Scholars have already made public comments on Lin Yizhe! Even if he has a little merit, it is impossible to hide his opinion. "It's a crime that harms the country!" "Why did Lin Yizhe commit a crime that harmed the country?" Zhang Peilun said angrily. "Huang Mou said just now that Lin Yizhe's evil talk confuses the public, disturbs people's hearts, and wants to turn barbarians into summer!" Huang Tifang said, "Even if he assists in shipping administration, builds up the navy, and does a little bit, it can't cover up the harm to the country and the people." "Sin!" "Lin Yizhe is enthusiastic about foreign affairs, just to make the country prosperous. Why did he talk about converting barbarians into Xia? His article "An Examination of the Holy Way of the Western Kingdom" is well-founded. Even the teacher said it was brilliant. Why did it disturb people's hearts? ?" Zhang Peilun asked, "Does Shulan think that his knowledge is better than that of his teacher?" "Huang's knowledge is naturally not as good as that of the teacher, and is also far behind that of Youqiao," Huang Tifang sneered, "But Huang "My sense of righteousness and self-confidence are higher than those of teachers and woodcutters!" I have never seen any clever rebuttals from you Huang Shulan, even if you have some rebuttals, they are nothing but insults!" Huang Tifang has always hated "The Examination of the Holy Way of the West", but he After exhausting all the learning in his life, he could not find a word to refute it, so this matter became a knot in Huang Tifang's heart. Now, Zhang Peilun refuses to open any pot, but Huang Tifang has completely lost his mind. "Zhang Youqiao! That Lin Yizhe is just an "Examination of the Holy Way of the Western Kingdom"What a nonsense article, it¡¯s just that the teacher is old and confused, and even you can¡¯t tell right from wrong! Huang Tifang said, "Huang doesn't know much about whether Westernization can strengthen the country, and he doesn't want to hear about it!" Huang only knows that Shilin is the place of great righteousness. No matter who is destined to be destined, he must rely on Shilin! Without scholars, there would be no country and country! If the great righteousness does not exist and the scholars are gone, no matter how strong the country is, the scholars and the people become like animals, what is the use? " "Huang Shulan! Are you speaking in human language? "Zhang Peilun was furious, slapped the table and stood up. He pointed his halberd at Huang Tifang and asked sternly, "The old saying goes: If the skin is not there, how can the hair be attached? If the country perishes, how can scholars survive alone? What's your motive for so confusing right and wrong? " "Zhang Youqiao! If you insist on speaking for Lin Yizhe, could it be that you have received some benefit from him? "Huang Tifang realized that he couldn't defend Zhang Peilun, so he offered up another magic weapon. He looked at Zhang Peilun and said, "I didn't expect that you, Zhang Youqiao, who claims to be clean, would actually collude with that evil villain" "Shut up! Huang Tifang! It¡¯s not your turn to criticize Zhang¡¯s behavior! "Zhang Peilun shouted at Huang Tifang, "After all these years, why didn't I see that you are such a villain and judge a gentleman's heart with a villain's heart! " "Oh! Shulan, look what you said! Why don't you quickly apologize to Youqiao! Zhang Zhidong saw that Zhang Peilun was so angry that he was afraid that the two of them would make a move. He quickly stood up and tried to persuade him, "Young Qiao." Shulan drank a little too much today, so please stop saying a few words! " "Zhang Xiaoda! Stop pretending to be a good person! "Huang Tifang was so eager to vent her scolding by Zhang Peilun that she went to Zhang Zhidong, "I know you have always had a good impression of Lin Yizhe, even though his handsome features match your Zhang Xiaoda's habit of cutting off his sleeves. But I tell you! You should give up that idea as soon as possible. Sooner or later, your reputation will be ruined! " Zhang Zhidong asked Huang Tifang to reprimand him. He was so embarrassed and angry for a while that he was about to speak. However, Zhang Peilun beat him to it. " Huang Tifang! Stop talking so much! Zhang Peilun said sternly, "This is not the first day you have met a few of us. You should know what kind of person I, Zhang Youqiao, am!" Zhang is helping the manager but not others! In this matter about Lin Yizhe, you are really unreasonable and still want to mess around! We only stand on the side of justice. A gentleman must act openly and honestly, and must not do that kind of dirty thing that goes against the law! If you still lick it, you will be a gentleman. Just take care of yourself! " After listening to Zhang Peilun's rebuke of Huang Tifang, Zhang Zhidong felt secretly happy and admired Zhang Peilun's sharp and to the point words. "What a person who stands on the side of justice and justice! Zhang Peilun, you have the nerve to say this! "Huang Tifang stood up with a sneer, "Lin Yizhe's flattery will destroy Shilin. Insulting a scholar, you, as a member of the elite, excused him in every possible way, and even said nonsense about standing on the side of justice. What a joke! " "You said Lin Yizhe destroyed Shilin. Could it be that what Shilin did to Lin Yizhe was aboveboard? Zhang Peilun said angrily, "You want to compare Lin Yizhe to Zhang Yuan and Wu Hao who brought chaos to the country." Is it an aboveboard act to charge him with unfounded charges and try to kill him? " "Since ancient times, those who have achieved great things have not adhered to trivial matters. For the sake of the righteousness of the Spring and Autumn Period, they will not care about trivial matters! "Huang Tifang said forcefully and rationally. "Are you saying that for the sake of the righteousness of the Spring and Autumn Period, you can use dirty and despicable methods? "Zhang Peilun glared at Huang Tifang and asked sternly. "What can I do if I just use it? Stop using these insulting words to treat me! Huang Tifang became angry and pointed at Zhang Peilun, Zhang Zhidong and Chen Baochen and said, "Which one of you has never had a ginseng discount?" Who hasn¡¯t said hurtful words? In order to successfully participate in the impeachment, everyone is the same! Stop pretending to be aloof here! " "Shulan, what are you talking about?" Chen Baochen, who had been silent for a long time, finally couldn't help it anymore. He stood up and said loudly, "It is our duty to correct impeachment and impeachment, and it is to safeguard the great righteousness. It is not for the sake of your own reputation. How can you speak like this?" ? " "Haha, Chen Boqian, I didn't expect you to be with them too! Huang Tifang looked at the three people in front of her and said with a sneer, "Thanks to you for claiming to be well-read in poetry and books, and the righteousness of the Spring and Autumn Period, you have long forgotten about it!" " "Stop biting randomly! Huang Tifang! Zhang Peilun said angrily, "You are trying to impeach Lin Yizhe just for personal gain and reputation. Don't talk about the righteousness of the Spring and Autumn Period!" " "So what if I am just doing it for fame and personal gain? There is a way of saying that if a person does not serve himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth! Do you dare to say that you are not doing this for yourself? Huang Tifang pointed at Zhang Peilun and the other three people and sneered again and again, "Which one of you dares to swear that it's not for yourself?" " After hearing Huang Tifang's accusation, Zhang Zhidong and Chen Baochen were speechless for a moment, but Zhang Peilun said without hesitation: "Zhang is not doing it for himself! There is a saying that "Literature is worth admonishing, and force is worth fighting." It is for the sake of the common people in the world to speak openly and honestly, and not to avoid the axe. ¡± As an important figure in the Qing school, Zhang Peilun also criticized??, has criticized Westernization officials, but his starting point and perspective are completely different from those of the conservative die-hards. Zhang Peilun was a Jinshi in the Tongzhi Year and was awarded the title of Editor-in-Chief in 1874. The Season of Tongguang was the troubled period of the Qing Dynasty, surrounded by great powers, frequent disputes, floods and droughts, and people's livelihood was in decline. Feeling the precariousness of feudal rule, Zhang Peilun, based on the orthodox stance of feudalism, spoke generously and criticized In current affairs, the authorities were criticized. Due to the entangled forces of corruption during the Tongguang period, officials at all levels were corrupt and perverted the law, and frequent foreign troubles made the situation particularly serious. Zhang Peilun witnessed the corruption of the Qing government and the encroachment of the great powers. He was worried and filled with emotion. He once said: "In the past ten years, foreign aggression has been rising, and there has been no year for it. How has it gone so far since then?" , Daoguang Ji Nian's habits have been restored, and the trend may be passed by. "Zhang Peilun can be said to have inherited the tradition of "admonishing ministers" in history. Unlike those gossip officials who "sell directly to buy fame", Zhang Peilun truly stands on the orthodox position of Confucianism, speaks uprightly for the people, and devotes himself to the prosperity of the country. Not to mention, just this year. Sun Dingyang, the county magistrate of Dongxiang County, Sichuan, suggested sending more donations, one tael of silver for each collection. The additional charge of 500 yuan caused an anti-grain trend. Sun Dingyang falsely accused the villagers of rebellion and asked to send troops to eliminate them. Admiral Li Youheng actually sent troops to suppress the villagers and killed 500 villagers, leading to a huge massacre. After the case occurred, Zhang Peilun and others wrote many times to impeach Li Youheng for killing innocent people, and finally the case was vindicated after repeated verification. Sun Dingyang and Li Youheng were ordered to be beheaded by the Ministry of Punishment, and 500 wronged souls were put to rest. Zhang Peilun's starting point was for the country and the country of the Qing Dynasty. Although influenced by knowledge and knowledge, his democratic advocacy was mostly empty talk, but he inherited the Confucian people-centered thought and took "economic management of the world" as his primary responsibility, and Huang Tifang Baoting and his like are fundamentally different. So something like this will happen today. ##$$%^&*(*())(*&^%%$#$#%%^&^*(()))__&%$##@ Faced with the court¡¯s deadline to resume the performance, no shirk is allowed Prevaricating strict orders. The governors who were accustomed to making troubles all handed over their "answer sheets" to the "proposition essays" given by the central government within the prescribed time limit. The most famous among them is the eloquent "Discussions on Coastal Defense" written by Li Hongzhang, the governor-general of Zhili, who was a political ally of Prince Gong and Ding Richang. Zhezhong wrote: "Most of the border preparations in the past dynasties were in the northwest. Their strength and weakness, and the shape of guests and hosts, are all suitable for each other, and there are still boundaries between China and foreign countries. Today, the southeast sea has more than ten thousand miles. Countries can trade and preach, and can come and go freely. , gathered in the capital and the hinterland of the provinces, in the name of peace, and instigated the plan of engulfing one country, which is actually a change that has not happened in thousands of years! , the work force is a hundred times greater. The cannonballs are invincible; the water and land passes are not limited, and they are really powerful enemies that have not been seen in thousands of years If you want to rectify the coastal defense today, there is no other way to start." At the same time, letters from the governors and generals of relevant provinces were also sent to Beijing one after another, a total of 54 pieces. The result of brainstorming is a wide range of opinions. Although these echoes seem complicated, they can still be divided into three major schools after detailed analysis. Among them, Li Hongzhang, Wen Bin, Yang Changjun, Wang Kaitai, Liu Kunyi, Shen Baozhen and others expressed support for Ding Richang's idea of ??a "Sanyang Navy", but they focused on how to divide the three oceans. Li Hanzhang and Li Henian believed that the three oceans were too troublesome and it was better to set up separate branches in the northern and southern oceans. Marine division; some governors (represented by Wang Wenshao, Yinghan, Yulu, etc.) because their technical knowledge is really lacking and they can't just muddle through, so they choose the slippery middle road: both the importance of coastal defense construction and the They agreed with the necessity, but at the operational level they advocated caution based on the lessons learned from the Aspen fleet incident. They seemed to be impartial but were actually unclear about what was going on. The last group, represented by Ding Baozhen and Li Zongxi, opposed Ding Richang's Sanyo Navy concept. Ding Baozhen also opposed the abolition of the old naval establishment. Ding Baozhen insisted that coastal strongholds should be defended, supplemented by blockades with sampans and boats. Once the enemy ships ran out of food and coal, they would inevitably collapse. As for Zuo Zongtang's reaction, it was not unexpected. You, Ding Richang, are Li Hongzhang's staff. Even if you oppose for the sake of opposition, you must oppose it to the end. Of course, this cannot be said for the reasons on the table. Zuo Zongtang believed: "Coastal defense can be accessed by one water. If we divide three oceans, the territory will be divided. They are evenly matched and it is difficult to agree on opinions. The governor will be useless." December 6, 1874 Wen Hsiang's memorial summed up the experience and lessons from the Taiwan incident, and for the first time clearly treated Japan as an imaginary enemy: "What is difficult to mitigate at present is to prevent Japan. In terms of the current situation, Japan and Fujian and Zhejiang are on the same page. The Japanese have a habit of breaking their promises, and this retreat will be an unforeseen event, which cannot guarantee that there will be no future troubles. What is more worrying is that the country has changed its old system in recent years, which has greatly lost the hearts of the people. Once the rebellious people collapse, our coastal ports will be in danger. The Japanese troubles in the Ming Dynasty can be used as a warning Japan, a small country in the East, was newly accustomed to Western military methods. He only purchased two iron-clad ships, but he dared to take advantage of them to launch an attack. However, Shen Baozhen and his ministers along the border had not yet purchased any iron-clad ships. It's okay, it's inconvenient to break up with him, so I'm just accommodating this time, and actually trying to control him.?The enemy is not in full force. If things continue to go on in a rut without seeking immediate rectification, it will become even more difficult once it occurs. " As the number two figure in the Military Aircraft Department, Wen Xiang was not originally so enthusiastic about Westernization, but it is not easy to realize this at this moment. Things seem to be moving towards the results that Li Hongzhang is happy to see. In February 1875, Li Hongzhang was sent to When he came to Beijing, he was praised by Prince Gong in person, saying that among the 54 pieces of information, he and Shen Baozhen were the best. Li Hongzhang had some foresight and contacted Jieyang, Guangdong very early. Ding Richang from his hometown asked him to further develop on the basis of the "Ocean Navy Charter" to formulate more detailed and feasible suggestions to echo his own ideas. As Li Hongzhang's old friend and adviser, Ding Richang lived up to his expectations. Li Hongzhang requested that a draft of the article-by-article review of the "Gong Liu Articles" be sent from Guangdong on January 20, 1874. The content was at a higher level than the "Ocean Navy Regulations" and touched the level of national strategy for the first time. , the most urgent direction of China's current situation is the northeastern coast, the southeastern coast and the northwest are secondary, and the southwest inland is even less important. "Priorities should be prioritized, and heavy troops should be selected and trained to quell the enemy's covetousness."
