Chapter 380: Let our old brothers have good memories
Xuanjiawei's military exercise was declared over before arriving at noon.
Because there are many injured soldiers, they all need to recuperate. Moreover, staying in such weather for a long time is not good for the health, especially for the old man.
Originally, Zhu Ying had a commendation session, but it was eventually cancelled.
Just because the military exercise is over, doesn't mean everyone can go back.
In the military camp, everyone gathered together, with Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Ying at the top.
The brazier was raised, the warmth was rising, and the aroma came from the distance. It was the cooks of Xuanjiawei who were preparing lunch.
After some salutes, everyone took their seats.
"Dasun, this military exercise of the Xuanjia Guards was very exciting. If the soldiers of our Ming Dynasty were half as good as the Xuanjia Guards, who would dare to offend our Ming Dynasty?"
Zhu Yuanzhang spoke first.
Zhu Ying immediately understood that this was the old man's compliment.
Taking advantage of the situation, he said: "Grandpa, my grandson had a military academy before this, but today, I feel that the military academy does not seem to have played a big role."
"I suddenly thought today, why not build the General Academy like the Imperial Academy, and the military science should also be passed down in an orderly manner. Therefore, everyone can be a general in the Ming Dynasty. In this way, our Ming Dynasty will be able to prosper for a long time.
If you govern for a long time, you will remain strong and strong."
Those who can become generals, especially those who enter the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, or those who are Huaixi nobles, are not talented people, but there are only a few idiots.
Otherwise, you will die on the battlefield.
As soon as I heard this, I knew the main event was coming.
Fu Youde even said directly: "Your Highness Taisun, those young men in the veteran army are nothing compared to the Xuanjia Guards. They are only brave and fierce on weekdays. I wonder if I can ask Your Highness Taisun to arrange some soldiers of the Xuanjia Guards."
Let's go over there and teach him a lesson."
Fu Youde, the veteran who has been following His Majesty the most, stepped forward, and the portion was quite sufficient.
Zhu Ying was still thinking about how to get these generals into the urn, but to his surprise, the ladder was delivered directly.
Then he just let it take its course and said: "What did Duke Ying say? It is imperative to improve the overall military strength of our Ming Dynasty. But I am thinking in my heart that the current total number of Xuanjia Guards is only more than 5,000. Even if it is the entire Ming Dynasty,
If we divide it, it will be a drop in the bucket for our Ming Dynasty's millions of troops."
"As I just said, if you want to truly improve the whole body, it must be passed on. The Military Academy is the key."
When Fu Youde heard this, he didn't have much scruples and said directly: "His Royal Highness just said that this military academy should be like the Imperial College. Is it possible that the soldiers should be allowed to study?"
As soon as the word "study" came out, although no one laughed out loud, they shook their heads secretly in their hearts.
In everyone's perception, warriors and literati are completely different things.
Especially the brothers under his command are illiterate and have no patience to study.
"Your Highness, all of our brothers below are rough and tumble. I'm afraid it will be a bit difficult for them to study." Fu Youde said directly.
Fu Youde didn't have much contact with His Majesty the Grand Sun, and since he was a fellow countryman of His Majesty, he spoke a bit casually.
He didn't notice that Lan Yu and Feng Sheng had basically remained silent.
They have long been accustomed to their grandson's arrangements, and there must be something to follow.
Upon hearing this, Zhu Ying had no intention of confronting Fu Youde, and directly began to explain: "You are not mistaken, the Military Academy does require students to study."
"But the books they read were not the Four Books and Five Classics, and the tests they took were not classics, meanings, and questions, but military strategists, military formations, and various tactics."
"It's not just studying, it also requires practice and training in all aspects. There will be various comprehensive examination items."
At this point, Zhu Ying paused for a moment before continuing: "Including the latest production by Xuanjiawei, the sand table deduction will be used as a mainstream assessment in the future military academy."
After saying that, Zhu Ying looked at Dong Quan in the east corner and said, "Bring the things here."
"Follow orders."
Dong Quan cupped his fists and saluted, then turned and left.
This made everyone a little confused, wondering what kind of mystery His Highness Taisun was trying to make.
Zhu Yuanzhang was also a little confused, but he did not ask directly.
Soon, there was a noise outside.
Looking up, I saw a dozen people carrying a huge desk coming in from the main entrance.
It was a huge square wooden table about three feet long and a little over a foot wide.
Looking vaguely, there seemed to be many small carvings on the wooden table.
Everyone was thinking, could it be that His Highness Taisun wanted us rough guys to enjoy something new?
As soon as this thought passed, the huge wooden table was carried to the center and put down. Everyone took a closer look and gasped.
hiss!!!
On top of this wooden table, you can see mountains, rivers, mountains and trees, everything. It's like the heaven and earth are carved on it. It's a work of art.
Not to mention the generals, who couldn't help but stand up to take a closer look, even Zhu Yuanzhang stood up on his own at this moment and walked directly to the edge of the desk.
Even touch it with your hands.
This kind of realistic map sandbox has never appeared before in today's era.
Even the detailed maps treasured in the royal family of the Ming Dynasty are relatively rough compared to later generations.
Not only the proportions, but also some terrains are also very blurry.
The sand table in front of us can be described as a dimensionality reduction attack on the map.
Everyone present was a military general, and they could see at a glance the effects of this map and the impact it would have on future wars.
"Dasun, when we look at this map, why does it feel familiar but not very familiar at the same time?"
After watching for a long time, Zhu Yuanzhang asked with some doubts.
Not to mention that he has been to every place in this world, but most of them are very familiar. That was the territory that he and his brothers conquered with swords and guns.
This sand table map is not small, it is such a big place, but no matter how Zhu Yuanzhang recalled it, he could not remember where the map Dasun made here.
After finishing speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang paused and said: "Dasun, don't rush to talk about where we are here. You old brothers will follow us to conquer the world, conquer the Central Plains, and create the Ming Dynasty. Why don't you also come and guess together, our eldest grandson is here?"
It’s a map of where it was made.”
After hearing this, everyone in the lobby began to think deeply.
Logically speaking, it is impossible for Zhu Yuanzhang himself to travel to all places in the Ming Dynasty, but who are the dozens of people in the lobby now?
It’s the entire Ming Dynasty, all the generals.
Each one of them has been fighting for at least ten years, and they can be found in every corner of the Ming Dynasty.
Everyone has traveled far and wide and fought for many years to achieve the Ming Dynasty we have today.
Theoretically speaking, every inch of Ming Dynasty’s territory now has their contribution.
It can be said that the people present were the ones who gave Zhu Yuanzhang the confidence to conquer the world. Therefore, at this time, Zhu Yuanzhang did not say anything about his love for you, your monarch or your ministers.
Just call me brother.
Being able to have unparalleled prestige among the generals and nobles, Zhu Yuanzhang's personal charm is naturally extremely high. Needless to say, his ability to win over people's hearts has long since reached its peak.
I heard the title "old brother".
A warm current surged through the hearts of many generals.
Your Majesty, he still has us in his heart.
Then, I began to think seriously about which place in the Ming Dynasty the map carved in front of me was.
Logically speaking, with so many people, they should be able to point out the location of the map instantly.
However, after a while, the entire lobby was silent.
"Lanyu, come and tell us where this is." Seeing this, Zhu Yuanzhang directly named him.
There is nothing wrong with calling him Liang Guogong, just call him by his first name.
Just this title made everyone in the venue, especially Cao Zhen and other distinguished generals from Huaixi, feel excited and happy on their faces.
Lan Yu's eyes were also flashing, but when faced with His Majesty's question, he could only clasp his fists and bow before replying: "Your Majesty, I don't know."
Your Majesty can do as he pleases, but he must abide by the etiquette of a monarch and his ministers.
Zhu Yuanzhang raised his eyebrows.
Lan Yu doesn’t even know?
Then he said: "Song Guogong, you have been to many places, please tell me."
Feng Sheng said helplessly: "Your Majesty, I don't know."
"Dong Guo Ying, tell me."
Fu Youde replied: "Your Majesty, I don't know."
"Jingchuan Hou."
"Your Majesty, I don't know."
"House of Crane Shou"
"Your Majesty, I don't know."......
I asked six or seven people in a row, but no one could answer it.
Obviously, Zhu Yuanzhang was a little unhappy.
Have the good days gone too long and the hard days have been forgotten?
Zhu Yuanzhang said with a somewhat displeased tone: "Isn't it possible that no one knows where this map is? Over the years, we have led all our old brothers to conquer the north and south. Is there any place in the Ming Dynasty that we have not been to?
Or maybe the old brothers have forgotten the days of bloodshed and fighting, and have been hollowed out by drunken and beautiful women?"
"No one can tell where this place is!!!"
When it came to the end, Zhu Yuanzhang's tone was already very serious.
And everyone was a little frightened.
But even so, no one stood up and spoke.
Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly, and then said to Zhu Ying: "Dasun, please tell me where the place carved on this map is in the Ming Dynasty."
"Let our old brothers have a good time recalling the prosperous years of those years, and don't just focus on corruption and enjoyment."
