Can we also join the military academy as a teacher?
As soon as Zhu Ying's suggestion came out, the lobby suddenly became a little noisy.
Even a fool would know that the military academy built by His Highness Taisun was clearly designed to compete with the Imperial College.
What is the concept of a teacher in the Imperial College?
For the honor of status, even the many ministers in the court must be treated with great courtesy, and they must be able to become the teacher of the Imperial College. If nothing else, even if they are in the capital, their status is comparable to that of the fourth rank.
Although for those in the lobby, official positions of the third and fourth grades are nothing. After all, everyone is either a prince or a marquis, and most of them are first or second grade.
But becoming a teacher is completely different.
"His Royal Highness Taisun is joking. We old men like us don't know a few words. How can we serve as role models to others? I'm afraid we will mislead others."
Everyone is very interested, but there is still some self-awareness.
Fu Youde was the first to speak.
He has never had any interest in reading. He can't sit still. After sitting for a long time, he feels that he is not energetic and needs to move.
"What Duke Ying said is wrong."
Zhu Ying said with a smile: "Of all the generals, none of you have experienced hundreds of battles. Even if you are illiterate, you have a lot of experience. These are precious experiences for some soldiers who have never experienced war.
"
"I believe that each of you generals has his or her own unique abilities. Otherwise, it would be difficult to achieve such achievements and make so many contributions."
"Those things that can determine the outcome of life and death are the things that must be passed down forever."
"I just hope that when the time comes, you won't be too self-conscious. Our martial arts school is not as good as the literati. Apart from some extremely rare military books, there is nothing. So everyone must show off their skills."
"Enriching the things that can be passed down will make each generation better and better."
Listening to Taisun's words, all the generals became eager.
Especially Feng Sheng.
The eyes are dazzling.
He glanced around and found no one who could hit him.
With his knowledge, his merits, and his achievements, as long as he can join the military academy, how many outstanding students will be cultivated.
While thinking, Feng Sheng paused and suddenly discovered a problem.
If His Highness Taisun followed this method, the conflict between imperial power and military power would be avoided to a large extent.
Veterans like them can also get a good retirement life.
Unlike other generals, Feng Sheng has always been very afraid of His Majesty. He has never felt that his merits can support him in his old age, and he always acts cautiously.
If you can really enter the military academy, you will definitely be much more stable in the future.
.....
"Military Academy, how could your grandson treat warriors like this? Forget about the previous retirement guarantees. I thought the Military Academy was just like this. Unexpectedly, the key is here."
"If this continues for a long time, the prosperity of martial arts and culture will decline, which is not a blessing to our Ming Dynasty!!!"
Liu Sanwu, the capital's chief minister, was at home, Bai Xindu said heartbrokenly.
Liu Sanwu's face was calm and there was nothing unusual about it, but Zhang Xin on the other side couldn't help it.
"Mr. Sanwu, we must report this to Your Majesty. Our Ming Dynasty has finally been recuperating for more than twenty years. To praise warriors like this is not to be militaristic."
"If a warrior gains power, he or she will naturally want to perform meritorious deeds, which will not be conducive to the stability of the Ming Dynasty. It will also cause turmoil on the border and endanger the country of the Ming Dynasty."
Zhang Xinyi said sternly.
The news of the military exercise that His Majesty participated in yesterday has spread throughout the capital. Those generals, of course, have no intention of keeping it secret. They told everyone when they came back.
Zhu Ying and Zhu Yuanzhang had no intention of concealing the news.
After the morning court today, Zhang Xin and Bai Xintuan couldn't wait to find Liu Sanwu.
This time, Liu Sanwu received them and was not bedridden or anything like that.
After all, this is a dispute between literati and military men.
"From what I see, the situation this time is actually not that urgent. Although the warrior's status is improving, there is one thing you haven't noticed."
"Above the imperial court, military attachés are still the same as before, and they are even more distant from government affairs."
"From this point of view, the current situation of military attaches is exactly what His Highness Zeng Taisun once said about the separation of military and political affairs."
After listening to the two people's stories, Liu Sanwu thought carefully, and then said in a deep voice.
Zhang Xin and Bai Xindu immediately began to think deeply after hearing this.
In fact, ever since the grandson entered the palace, the status of warriors has been constantly improving. This improvement is very subtle and can be said to be an improvement in social status.
But with the emergence of the Public Security Department, the military attachés who used to quarrel with civilian officials in the Fengtian Palace gradually became spectators.
It gives people the illusion that they are constantly moving away from the center of power.
Looking back now, this is indeed the case.
"Mr. Sango, you mean that we don't need to pay too much attention to this matter?"
Zhang Xin thought for a moment and asked hesitantly.
Liu Sanwu smiled bitterly and said: "So what if we don't care, if I guess correctly, the dean of this military academy must be like the Imperial College, and your Majesty will be the one in person."
"Who are the teachers in this military academy? They are our Ming Dynasty, including almost all the generals. It doesn't matter whether we care or not. What abilities do we civil servants have that can compete with the Ming Dynasty?
Confrontation between warriors."
"Don't say it's us, even if it's the clan behind us, it will be a big disaster if we provoke them. We should know how sinister these people are."
Liu Sanwu's two elder brothers, Liu Gengsun and Liu Taosun, were killed by bandits.
They say they are thieves, but they are actually soldiers and bandits.
Warriors can use their power to suppress, but be sure not to offend them. If these people are ruthless, they can do anything.
Not to mention the current collective interests.
As someone who has experienced this, Liu Sanwu knows it very well.
Conquering a country relies on warriors, and governing a country relies on literati.
Today's Ming Dynasty has a lot of wars, and the status of warriors is difficult to shake.
With His Majesty's temperament, if the conflict between the military and the civilized people is too great, he will only choose the civilized man to appease the military man.
"There are some people below who may not be willing to accept it. Do you need to remind them?" Bai Xintuan said.
Liu Sanwu nodded and said: "Don't waste your life in vain, especially those in the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion. If we really get into trouble, the clan may not be able to live in peace."
The words are more euphemistic, but in fact, if some guard found a reason to secretly slaughter all the clans, even if they were punished by His Majesty afterwards, what would be the point.
Zhang Xin and Bai Xindu looked at each other with lingering fear, and left not long after.
.....
"Wen'er, you must find a way to get into this military academy."
In the back hall of Chunhe Palace, Lu said in a deep voice.
"Mom, why?" Zhu Yunwen said with some confusion.
He has never had a good sense of martial arts, and he doesn't like to manage those things.
Even though the current Military Academy is like the Imperial College, Zhu Yunwen has no interest in it.
In the morning, when I heard the news, I casually told my mother, but I didn't expect my mother to have such a big reaction.
Lu explained: "No matter what the future holds, this military academy currently gathers all the famous generals in the entire Ming Dynasty."
"You don't have to learn anything, but don't think too much. The first batch of students who can enter are either of noble status or have amazing talents."
"If we, the two of us, want to go to the vassal territory, we must have trustworthy soldiers to follow us, and the military academy is the best place to find the soldiers. Presumably, there will be a concentration of military talents there.
Place."
"As long as you can invite a few people to follow you, it will be easier in the domain from now on."
"In the wilderness, there are no more talented people than our Ming Dynasty. The natives have no etiquette and shame and can do anything."
"Although I have made some preparations here for my mother, who knows what the situation will be when we get outside, so we will naturally have to recruit more talents."
Zhu Yunwen said with some reluctance: "What can happen in such a barbaric land? Besides, I shouldn't be able to secede the vassal so soon. It will take at least one or two years, or even two or three years."
"Even if we go by past practice, it will be about two years later. There is still a long time."
Lu shook his head and said: "You are currently the grandson's brother and the grandson of His Majesty. With this status, you will be able to gain a lot of hearts as a corporal in the military academy."
"If you wait until everyone knows that you are going to join the feudal clan, then things will be completely different."
When it comes to cultivating relationships, Lu has a very clear view.
Only if you make friends with some promising soldiers in advance, you can take them with you when the time comes.
If you don't contact me at ordinary times, you can just find someone from the feudal lord. How can it be so easy?
If you look at the current overseas photo studios, you will know that even if you are a vassal king with great fame and real power like King Jin or King Yan, it will be difficult to recruit people with great ability.
The military academy is a place where all the elites must gather.
In the past, we could not care much about generals, but after the Ming Dynasty, that was completely different from the capital. The only truth was that the weak should prey on the strong.
On this point, Lu's understanding is extremely clear.
"Okay, mother, I will listen to you. I will go talk to my eldest brother tomorrow and see if I can go in." Zhu Yunwen said helplessly.
After hearing this, Mrs. Lu nodded with satisfaction.
...
"Military Academy...."
In Prince Yan's Mansion, Zhu Di stood at the door of the lobby and murmured.
Xu Yihua came over, put a big cloak on him, and said with some sigh: "His Royal Highness Taisun's military talent is very high."
"Once this military academy is established, military power will begin to gather in the hands of the grandson, and the close relationship between the former general and his soldiers will be broken."
"In three to five years at most, these soldiers from the military will enter every guard post. When the time comes..."
Xu Yihua did not continue.
But Zhu Di understood the meaning.
At that time, Taisun Zhuying indirectly controlled all military power.
The role of generals will continue to be weakened.
"Your Majesty, if we don't go to Liaodong, how about we go to Japan and establish vassal states overseas?"
Xu Yihua's tone was somewhat pleading.
Yes, she was scared.
She is afraid of her husband. If she really goes to Liaodong, she is afraid...
Hearing this, Zhu Di felt hesitant and hesitant on his face.
Somewhat unwilling, but feeling very powerless.
It is conceivable that even if they are stationed in Liaodong, many of the soldiers under their command will most likely be from the military academy.
There is no doubt about the loyalty of these people to their grandson.
Although he had no unrealistic thoughts about rebelling, Zhu Di still thought about the days of following orders rather than propaganda.
"Madam, there are some things that are not ours..."
While Zhu Di was talking, a servant came running quickly outside: "Your Majesty, I have an order from Your Majesty."
Zhu Di raised his eyebrows and said: "Please give me an order."
Soon, the eunuch who delivered the order came to deliver the order.
The purpose of the edict was to let Zhu Di join the Military Academy as a teacher.
Even when the eunuch left, Zhu Di didn't understand.
"Father, what does this mean? Is it possible that you want to take back my conquest of the Japanese country and the enfeoffment of the country overseas?"
He really couldn't imagine why this military academy would require him to participate.
In one month from here, we will go out to conquer Japan. With such a sudden appointment, it is hard to say that Zhu Di doesn't think so.
"I don't think so. If we cancel the prince's expedition to the Japanese country, it will definitely not be that simple. This matter is most likely the grandson's intention."
Xu Yihua said after thinking for a while.
When Zhu Di heard this, he frowned and said, "Your Highness, what exactly does he want to do?"
Xu Yihua said: "We still don't know yet. Your Majesty will wait and see for changes. As long as there is no order issued, it won't take long for you to know the meaning."
"It is a taboo for military strategists to change generals on the spot. Furthermore, the prince has been promised the right to grant overseas vassals. Even if there are changes, I think your majesty will not let go easily."
Zhu Di nodded.
For now, we can only wait and see when the time comes.
After thinking for a while, Zhu Di put on his big cloak, walked into the courtyard, and said, "I'm going to go talk to Jinglong and see how the talent recruitment thing is going."
When Xu Yihua heard this, she knew that in the prince's heart, he had begun to give up on Liaodong.
There is a turmoil in the capital because of the large-scale establishment of a military academy.
At this point in time, the situation in Lueyang, Shaanxi Province was even more turbulent.
Even on the tenth day of the first lunar month, there is no sense of the New Year at all, only large areas of desolation and chaos.
Tian Jiucheng, who claimed to be the Emperor of the Han and Ming Dynasties, was actually not Han, but Qiang.
Speaking of which, Tian Jiucheng's early experience is somewhat similar to Zhu Yuanzhang.
When he was young, he came from a poor family and had no way to make a living, so he entered the Yunwu Temple at the southern foot of the Qinling Mountains and became a monk.
Later, he also experienced wandering and begging, living like a beggar.
In addition, the remnants of the White Lotus Sect are involved, so it seems to be very similar.
From the initial strength of three to four thousand men, Tian Jiucheng now has tens of thousands of soldiers under his command.
The most important thing is that in the confrontation with the officers and soldiers, Tian Jiucheng won every step of the way.
Here in Zhengdan, we only took a short three-day rest before raising the army again to attack Huizhou. At present, the situation is very good, and people from all over the world are responding one after another.
