1096 Fujian Junior Armament Hall
"Sun Qing, how are the preparations for the Fujian Junior Martial Arts Hall?"
Emperor Chongzhen's question was prompted by the system to Sun Chuanting. Immediately, Sun Chuanting replied: "Your Majesty, I have prepared it and the class will be officially started the day after tomorrow."
"Okay, the eunuchs I sent have learned from the primary military preparatory hall of the capital. Several of them were drawn from the new Liaodong army. However, they have no experience in water wars. Although they have the textbooks I compiled, it is not enough. Zheng Qing's side has also issued an order to organize the textbooks for naval battles for him. They should be given to me in the past two days. At that time, they can be used as the primary military preparatory hall of Zhejiang, Fujian and Guangdong."
"I understand!" Sun Chuanting looked at it and immediately replied, "The post-Heavenly Emperor will go to preside over the presidency in person!"
"Well, that's great." Emperor Chongzhen was very satisfied and nodded, "To let the students know the importance of the court and to be proud of the junior martial arts hall. The army mobilization in Zhejiang, Fujian and Guangdong must be the same as the capital. Under the same conditions, students with junior martial arts halls must be given priority, and students with good grades must be given priority."
"I understand!" Sun Chuanting responded without hesitation. Regarding this, it was already clear when the imperial edict of each province to establish a primary martial arts hall was passed down. The emperor emphasized again that he naturally attached more importance to it.
After Emperor Chongzhen explained this, he did not say anything more. In the southeast coast of the Ming Dynasty, since the Fujian Navy and the Denglai Navy jointly wiped out the pirates and annihilated the Red Barbarians of the Great Masters, the coastal pirates have basically been empty and have all gone to Southeast Asia.
He believed that this period was the best opportunity to reorganize the navy, so among the junior martial arts halls in various provinces, he attached the most importance to the junior martial arts halls in Fujian. He also instructed Sun Chuanting to give the students the main soldiers of the navy. After this reorganization, the Fujian Navy of the Ming Dynasty should try to get rid of Zheng Zhilong's influence.
The Navy is the Navy of the Ming Dynasty, and is definitely not Zheng Zhilong’s Navy!
Just as he thought of this, he suddenly saw a series of private chats coming from Liu Jinsheng. Zheng Zhilong completed the compilation of the naval war textbook on schedule, and was photographed by Liu Jinsheng.
Although Emperor Chongzhen had never led the army to fight naval warfare, the development of the Internet in later generations allowed him to know more about naval warfare, and he might not be clear about the details. However, for this textbook, it is still okay to comment on one or two.
Therefore, after receiving the naval war textbook sent by Liu Jinsheng, he immediately started reading it seriously.
It has to be said that Zheng Zhilong is indeed good at naval battles, and there are detailed explanations from the selection of sailors to the advantages and disadvantages of warships. Emperor Chongzhen had received a textbook compiled by Li Zhiqi, the naval division of Denglai a few days ago. He found that Li Zhiqi was better at familiarizing himself with warships, transforming warships and fighting in front of the battles. From the textbooks, Zheng Zhilong focused more on selecting sailors, gathering the morale of the army, and paying more attention to the collection of intelligence. In terms of naval combat methods, the textbooks of the two were similar, nothing more than arson, springboard, artillery attack, siege and other means.
After reading it, Emperor Chongzhen drew a lot of points and crossed out some very heavy eccentric methods. He also wrote some things he knew from a large level, such as the current history of the world's navigation. He believed that adding the textbooks would allow the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty to understand the entire world and their vision could not be limited to the surrounding areas of the Ming Dynasty. Then he gave the folder permissions of the two books to Liu Jinsheng and Sun Chuanting, so that they could both read it. Zheng Zhilong combined the two textbooks into one and became a formal textbook.
Finally, he said to Liu Jinsheng: "Tell Zheng Qing that success is very good in the capital and is very smart. These days, he is inseparable from Li Dingguo whom I brought back from Liaodong. I can see that both of them will be pillars of the Ming Dynasty in the future!"
Zheng Zhilong was right next to Liu Jinsheng. When he heard his retelling, he couldn't help but be overjoyed. The emperor not only gave his son a successful name, but he knew that the emperor had not treated his son badly and praised him so much. Zheng Zhilong also knew that Li Dingguo and Zheng Zhilong were a child that the emperor liked very much and was raising him with all his efforts. He must have learned a lot of things when he was with him.
Therefore, he quickly laughed and asked Liu Jinsheng to convey his gratitude to the emperor, and said that he did not relax at all about the reorganization of the navy.
With Zheng Zhilong's talent, he naturally knew why the emperor was so good to his son. Now the emperor personally led the expedition, recovered Liaodong in one fell swoop, and pacified the Qing Dynasty. The entire Mongolian grassland at the junction of the Ming Dynasty had also become part of the Ming territory. It can be said that the national strength of the Ming Dynasty was far from comparable before. He did not want to rebel and fight against the Ming Dynasty, so he could only listen to the emperor's words well, and only in this way could he have the wealth and wealth of a wife and son. In addition, according to the emperor, he also had an opportunity to be famous in history, and he also cared about it.
As if he knew what he would think, Liu Jinsheng conveyed the words of Emperor Chongzhen: "In the Tongzhou Shipyard, iron armored steam warships are already being built. At present, there are still many technical difficulties to overcome for all iron armor. However, the iron-covered warship has been built. Now it is being installed for testing. It is estimated that there will be a result at the end of this year or early next year."
Zheng Zhilong was overjoyed when he heard this. He still remembered the scene described by the emperor in person during the first meeting. The iron-armored warship, which could move forward automatically without manpower, and even travel against the wind, was like listening to the heavenly book, and felt that this was impossible. Unexpectedly, in the past few years, this kind of warship actually had a look. This means that the prospects described to him by the emperor before should be true!
Thinking of this, he became even more determined. He had to increase efforts to reorganize the navy. When a new navy was trained, he would probably be able to go to the South China Ocean. There are even further places where the oceans that the Western Barbarians could reach, the Ming Navy could also go!
This news from Emperor Chongzhen was actually a shock to Zheng Zhilong. If Zheng Zhilong did not cooperate and wanted to fight the court, there would be no good ending. At that time, the Denglai Navy will be equipped with a new type of warship, and even at the sea where Zheng Zhilong is best at, he would not be a rival to the court.
It can be said that Emperor Chongzhen was invisibly giving both kindness and power, which made Zheng Zhilong so obedient and willing to reorganize the Fujian Navy.
On this day, a small harbor near Taiping Port, there were several lonely buildings in this area. However, at this time, there were soldiers standing in line, and on the side of the dock square, there were even a group of soldiers standing in line. In front of them, there were a group of senior Ming generals.
Although it was October at this time, the weather was still a little hot in Fujian. However, neither the general nor the soldiers in the square dared to be lazy or avoid the sun.
It’s not that their military discipline has been trained like the new army, but that they are waiting for someone, they are afraid of that person. The nickname of “Cold-faced King of Hell” is made of countless facts. Those who do not believe in evil, whether they are officers and soldiers, the people, officials and gentry, or aristocratic families, hit the hands of the governor, and eventually all made him famous as the Cold-faced King of Hell.
The Governor was obviously very favored, so he kept doing this. No matter how many impeachments there were, it would be difficult for him to do anything! Even the more he was impeached, the more he was rewarded by the emperor. In this way, fewer people impeached him. In Zhejiang, Fujian and Guangdong, they obediently followed the rules of the cold-faced King of Hell and the court's policies.
At this time, there were people talking in a low voice in the Harbor, but there were not many soldiers and several of them among the generals talking.
"Brother, this time I sent a group of eunuchs from the capital. Can they adapt to the humidity and heat in the south?"
"Yes, brother, the court sent so many eunuchs here again, and wanted to build this martial arts hall again, and most of the land transferred were from our navy. Can the court trust the elder brother?"
"Brother, how much use is this junior martial arts hall? It's impossible to sit here and learn. It's even better than if we were plucking our heads on the boat, right?"
“…”
The man surrounded, when he heard them whispering, couldn't help but shout in a low voice: "Shut up and you will be called official positions in formal occasions. Remember, you are a member of the Ming soldiers, do you understand?"
The person who spoke was naturally the navy commander Zheng Zhilong. At this time, because of the contribution of the bandit suppression, he had already been promoted from guerrilla to deputy general. After teaching his confidants a lesson, he saw Liu Jinsheng who was going to be respectful and came back, and he whispered: "He is trying every means to catch us. If he wants to die, don't drag me down, do you understand?"
The confidants were scolded by him so much that they didn't say a word, so that when Liu Jinsheng arrived at Zheng Zhilong, they felt that the atmosphere seemed a little wrong, but he didn't care.
However, Zheng Zhilong asked Liu Jinsheng with concern if he had suffered from a stomachache and how he was in good health.
While whispering, suddenly, a fast horse came, and a loud voice was heard: "Governor General is here!"
When everyone heard this, they were immediately excited, and they all held their heads and chests up, showing their best spirits. Under the leadership of Zheng Zhilong, they strode towards the entrance of the square to meet them.
After a while, a team of knights trotted over horses. The leader knew at a glance that it was Sun Chuanting, the current powerful governor of Zhejiang, Fujian and Guangdong. At this time, he had sweat on his face, and it was obviously hot. However, Sun Chuanting seemed to not care about this at all, just as usual, he had a cold face, as if everyone owed him money.
Behind Sun Chuanting, there was a group of people who were quite special, and everyone could see that these were many eunuchs in the north. However, they could not be called eunuchs in the future. They would all be instructors of the junior Wubei Hall of Fujian. A large part of their performance and career in the future were in the hands of these people.
The status of these people is so high that even Sun Chuanting's confidant general Liu Guoneng, who is behind these people, can be seen.
Zheng Zhilong led his navy generals to see the ceremony immediately.
Sun Chuanting stopped the horse, then turned over and dismounted, responded with a cold face, and then strode to the platform in front of the square. His behavior was as thrilling as before, and there was no change in the promotion to the governor.
Zheng Zhilong and others were no longer surprised by Sun Chuanting's behavior. They followed their positions according to their size and stood on the stage.
Sun Chuanting stood in front of the platform, with a cold face, and glanced at the soldiers standing below. After looking for a while, he shouted coldly: "Fujian Junior Wubei Hall is valued by the imperial court and the emperor. I will also see your performance in Wubei Hall. I will say ugly words ahead. If anyone does not want to be motivated, does not listen to the instructor, does not study hard, and cannot graduate when it expires, don't blame me for being rude!"
"Cold-faced King of Hell!" Many soldiers were secretly calling nicknames in their hearts when they heard this. However, on the surface, they all maintained their best spirit and did not dare to make any abnormal movements.
Sun Chuanting glanced at them, and his cold eyes pierced everyone's eyes. After a while, he said coldly again: "As long as he can get the approval of the instructor, he can graduate from the Martial Arts Hall and be promoted according to the law, whoever is not promoted will come to the Governor's Office to find his official. The official wants to see who dares to stop him from the Martial Arts Hall."
As the governor of the three provinces, Sun Chuanting naturally could not worry about the promotion of junior military officers in the navy, so he naturally had a yamen to manage junior military officers. However, if he said this in public, it means that he attached great importance to it.
In the past, there were tricks in the promotion of officials, such as relationships, bribery, etc. Sun Chuanting had caught one person, but he did not give him any mercy or merciless. Now that he had said this, these soldiers who could graduate from the Junior Martial Arts Hall would not have to worry about this, otherwise they could go to the Governor's office. With the Governor's style of doing things, they would definitely make decisions for them.
Therefore, after hearing this, the soldiers in the square showed a hint of joy on their faces, and they called the nickname "Cold-faced King of Hell" in their hearts, but this time, they called it kindly in their hearts.
However, Sun Chuanting seemed to have not seen the joy of the soldiers below, and still looked at them with a cold face, and continued to shout coldly: "I remind you that after graduating from the Junior Martial Arts Hall, don't lose the face of the junior Martial Arts Hall. Only by making contributions can you go to the senior Martial Arts Hall in the capital. That is the must-see place for my senior generals of the Ming Dynasty in the future, and it is even more a disciple of the Emperor! I hope that you can all go to the Senior Martial Arts Hall in the Ming Dynasty and become disciples of the Emperor. After all, you should do it yourself!"
This time, for him, he talked a little too much. But there was no way. The emperor was very concerned about the preparations for this junior martial arts hall in Fujian, so he had to say more.
Next, we will introduce the eunuch instructors and the situation of the junior martial arts hall. When the "opening ceremony" ended, we will send textbooks to prepare for the start of school.
Some people who knew the words were literate, and when they got the textbook, they looked through it and couldn't help but exclaim.
Chapter completed!
