What Duke Xu needs most at the moment is soldiers who can fight or officers who can lead soldiers to fight. If there are enough soldiers and officers, he is sure to keep Nanjing city and guard here.

Nanjing is also a place where the literati of the Ming Dynasty gathered, and there are many clean officials here. When Liu Jiajun soldiers entered the south of the Yangtze River and besieged Nanjing, many people united with Duke Xu to give advice for him.

But for these people, Xu Guogong feels that there is not enough success and more than failure. Although these people also know that they are defending their country, defending their hometown and fighting against thieves, they can provide less help than an ordinary soldier.

The most famous is the dispute between Donglin Party and castration party. However, the dispute between Donglin Party and power castration is only a small part of the party dispute in the Ming Dynasty. The party dispute in the DPRK and China has a long history and rich content.

The largest literati Association in Chongzhen's two-year history was established. Its members regarded themselves as clean and honest, opposed corruption and power, and its influence was growing day by day. Fu society was evaluated as the social Bureau and the Korean Bureau, which were external and internal to each other. However, due to their different interests, there are many factions and contradictions.

Fu society was established in Suzhou in the second year of Chongzhen. Fu society advertises itself as a literary society. Its main purpose is to promote retro studies and make future affairs useful, which shows the contemporary thought of practical application.

Fushe is a combination of several literary societies in Jiangdong, such as Yunjian Jishe, Xiangshan tongshe, Zhejiang wenshe, Jiangbei Nanshe, Jiangxi zeshe, Litang Xi, etc.

If the nature of Fu society is simply defined by the theme of Fu society, the theme is academic research. However, in this era of learning and being an official, Fu society is not destined to be a simple literary society. It must be a political organization with the responsibility of governing the country and stabilizing the world. Since it was the union of several literary societies at the beginning of its formation, the Fu society had factional color at the beginning of its establishment.

As for the relationship between the Donglin Party and the Fu society, many people believe that the Fu society and the Donglin Party come down in one continuous line, that is, the Fu society inherits the political and academic ideas of the Donglin Party and takes practical application as the criterion. Therefore, it can be considered that the Fu society was formed under the strong influence of the Donglin Party. In the eyes of ordinary people, he is no different from the Donglin Party.

Of course, the restoration society in the second year of Chongzhen was only a nominal combination. In fact, the small societies under the restoration society were still working alone. The fighting between its members and the castrated party was only personal behavior and could not represent the views of all members of the restoration society. In the eighth year of Chongzhen, this behavior of breaking away from the group and working alone was gradually inadequate. Finally, in the face of realistic political interests, the Fu society tended to hold together, and finally formed the Fu society political group.

The Donglin Party is the immediate parent of the Fu society. Some members of the Donglin Party have also joined the Fu society. This part is called the Donglin school, which is the most radical and political people in the Fu society. In the eighth year of Chongzhen, the Donglin school established the taoyedu Tongnan conference, which is one of the symbols of the transformation of fushe to a friend party.

At the beginning of the establishment of the complex society, there were many factions and loose structure; The literati also regarded themselves as lofty and lofty, and their eyes were higher than the top. They disagreed with each other, which naturally led to contradictions.

Secondly, since the Fu society is composed of multiple literary societies, the members have different attitudes towards the castrated party among small groups in the Fu society because of their local ties, rural ties and different geographical backgrounds.

Although these members of the society now understand that it is the real righteousness to oppose rebels such as Liu Jiajun. In the past, they have been fighting against the castration party, but the castration party that fought against them did not harm the world. On the contrary, the Liu family, which they have not done right, has become a great harm to the world in just a few years.

The eunuch party has become the yellow flower of the past and the grasshopper after autumn, while the Liu thief is as powerful as a tiger. There is a saying in the market: Liu who represents the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, the Liu family has become the object of the crusade of the Donglin Party and the Fu society. However, the Liu family army has developed too fast, and its momentum is huge. In just a few years, it has swept through Shandong, swept across the Yangtze River and Huaihe River and approached Nanjing. Such momentum should sit in the world.

These people were originally openly denouncing and dealing with the Liu family, but after the Liu family had such a momentum, they began to split and they began to quarrel with each other.

In particular, it came that Qian Qianyi, one of their leaders, had surrendered. Zhenjiang was able to surrender the city because of Qian Qianyi's persuasion, which made them lose face.

These scholars, namely the scholars of the Qing Dynasty, all regard his reputation and integrity as more important than his life. Many people believe that life is only temporary, but his reputation will last for generations. As a scholar, his loss of integrity is more shameful than his loss of life.

He Qian Qianyi actually voted for the Liu family, which is no different from the woman. This is a great shame.

Qian Qianyi, as the leader of Qingliu and the leader of literati, actually took refuge in the Liu family, which made them lose face and their status plummeted.

Originally, Duke Xu also tried to win over these people, hoping to get their help in the publicity of guarding the city. Finally, even Qian Qianyi surrendered, and Duke Xu was indifferent to these people.

Anyway, these people can't do anything good except some bad ideas. They don't contribute as much to guarding the city as ordinary soldiers. Therefore, Duke Xu is really lazy to pay attention to these people.

He also knows that these people are not successful enough and have more to lose. If there are more like Qian Qianyi, they are greedy for glory and wealth and understand the major urban defense events in the city, they will lose Nanjing. Therefore, he is too lazy to pay attention to the restoration of society. He doesn't value this group of literati any more.

This makes him in a very embarrassing situation when he wants to work for the court, but the court can't afford him. Some people want to work for the Liu family angrily. Since the court doesn't use them, the Liu family will use them. They can finally prove that they are gold and will stand out. Who knows that they have raised eyebrows at the Liu family, but even the Liu family doesn't care about them.

Liu Bu has nothing to do with the Fu society. Although he almost joined the Fu society Linqing Poetry Society in those years, he failed to participate in it in the end, he knows a famous man of the Fu society, Mao Bijiang, who has now become one of the four CHILDES of the Fu society.

Many members of the Restoration Society knew the relationship between Mao Bijiang and Liu Bu, so they found Mao Bijiang.

In fact, the relationship between Mao Bijiang and Liu Bu is just ordinary. Although he is the fourth childe of the restoration society, he is different from some others because he is more interested in academic research. In fact, he is not very happy about the dispute between the imperial court and is not involved in it.

At that time, he could know Liu Bu and appreciate him. The main thing is to appreciate his poems. Later, he saw that Liu Bu didn't have the heart to write poems. The articles were even less, that is, they were light, and there was no contact. But today, he was surprised to see Hou Fangyu, another childe of Fu society.

The four sons of Fu society refer to Chen Zhenhui, Hou Fangyu, Fang Yizhi and Xiangxiang. It is said that these four people are loyal when they go out, filial piety and love guests when they enter, and make friends widely. They are romantic and unique.

Hou Fangyu, the word Chaozong. He is good at ancient prose and respects the eight masters of the Tang and Song dynasties. His prose can often fuse ban, Ma biography, Korean and European ancient prose and legendary novel techniques into one furnace, forming a fresh and strange style, especially biographical prose.

Why did Hou Fangyu find Mao Bijiang? He knew the relationship between him and Liu bu. He wanted to let him assassinate Liu Bu through him.

When he heard the other party's plan, he was stunned. He said, "how can a scholar who has no strength to bind a chicken kill Liu Bu?"

Hou Fangyu said to him, "Liu Bu is actually a scholar without the power to bind a chicken. He only joined the army later. You know him, brother Mao. When the other party hears that brother Mao is coming, he will greet you upside down and be a confidant. When he doesn't defend you, he can sneak an attack to eliminate this great harm."

Mao Bijiang was displeased and said, "is it our gentleman's plan to sneak attacks?"

Hou Fangyu said to him, "in addition, what else can we do to deal with this Liao? If Liu Bu does not die, the enemy army will capture Nanjing City, and millions of soldiers and civilians will die in national disaster. Brother Mao, will you look at these millions of people and suffer from this sword?"

Mao Bijiang said, "even so, the Liu family is an anti thief and treacherous minister in the world. If we want to deal with him, we will deal with him with open and aboveboard means. We only know sneak attacks and conspiracies. It's really not on the table, and someone can't do it."

Hou Fangyu said with awe inspiring righteousness: "Liu Bu is no longer the dandy you knew in Linqing. He has millions of soldiers around him. If you don't use time, there's no way to get rid of him. If you don't get rid of Liu Bu, you can't defend Nanjing city. These millions of people will suffer from swords at any time. Brother, although you do this for the overall situation of the world, it's bad for your reputation, but right and wrong Wrong, people all over the world have their own opinions. "

He was very embarrassed to break into Xinjiang. He hated Liu Bu and wanted to kill him to eliminate this great harm for the imperial court. However, it seemed that it was not a gentleman's act to let himself use such conspiracy means to plot against a person. Even if it was to eliminate this great harm for the world and save millions of people in Nanjing from water and fire, it also left a lifetime stigma, which is not worth it.

But if we don't do it, once Liu Jiajun besieges the city and successfully breaks through Nanjing, he is afraid that the Liu rebellion will succeed and Daming will perish. He doesn't know how many people are suffering from this sword. He risks opening up Xinjiang and thinks about it, so he doesn't know what to do.

As for Hou Fangyu's great righteousness to him, he despised it. They would deceive others if they didn't stand on the high ground of morality and demand others according to the standards of saints and themselves according to the standards of bitches.
