Yunxi sat down in Jin Chun's usual seat, stretched his legs, and asked about the recent situation in the martial arts hall.
"..., Your Majesty, the students in the martial arts hall have been very well-behaved recently, and there are no violations of discipline." Jin Chun replied.
For some reason, Yunxi was a little disappointed after hearing this. If a student seriously violated discipline, he would be very angry; but to be honest, he was not happy either.
"Xu Jingchang, is he very well-behaved?" Yunxi mentioned one person. Xu Jingchang returned to the capital from Nanyang at the end of the first year of Jianye. He spent a year doing nothing in the capital the next year. At the end of the year, Xu Huizu got involved, and he was not without any ability.
Enrolled in the martial arts hall this year.
Jin Chun took a deep breath. He was afraid that His Majesty would mention Xu Jingchang, but he was obviously afraid of what would happen.
"Your Majesty, Xu Jingchang did do some naughty things, but they were just minor things and not considered a violation of discipline." Jin Chun said.
"What are these trivial matters?" Yunxi asked.
"Your Majesty, you just don't listen to lectures in class, and you don't write homework in time for some courses." Jin Chun replied.
"However, he performed very well in some classes. The teacher who taught martial arts class was full of praise for him, saying that people who have been on the battlefield are different, and the aura on his body makes students who have never fought in a war three points weaker.
I have never lost in sparring in class." Jin Chun continued.
"Maybe it's because of his status." Yunxi smiled.
Jin Chun did not answer, and he did not expect Jin Chun to answer, and then said: "Whether it is Xu Jingchang or other high-status students enrolling this year, no preferential treatment should be given to them."
"Are there any outstanding second-year students now?" Yunxi asked again.
"Your Majesty, in my opinion, Zhao Yuzhe, who ranked first in last year's year-end exam, is acceptable," Jin Chun said.
"Of course I noticed him, but he is still far behind the previous generations. Are there no other outstanding people?" Yunxi asked.
Jin Chun thought for a moment and shook his head.
"This year's class is a bit weak. Forget it, let's not talk about it. How did Yu Zhouwen and Zheng Xuan, who graduated last year, perform in the martial arts hall?" Yun Xi said.
"The two of them performed extremely well. His Majesty is indeed a wise man. He appointed them to serve in Jiangwu Hall directly after their graduation at the end of last year. Yu Zhouwen is very suitable to succeed him as the minister or as the vice president of Jiangwu Hall in a few years.
On the contrary, Zheng Xuan is a lazy man. Although he can speak well, he is not suitable for being a secretary. I think he is more like a storyteller." Jin Chun couldn't help laughing.
"In this case, you will serve as the vice-principal of Jiangwu Hall for another year, and Yu Zhouwen will take over next year. As for Zheng Xuan, I will transfer him to my side as a general secretary at the end of the year." Yunxi thought for a moment and said.
"Your Majesty!" Jin Chun wanted to dissuade.
"I know that Yu Zhouwen is only nineteen years old this year and twenty next year, and he is a military commander, while both you and Jing Qing are civil servants. But so what?" Yunxi said with a slightly mocking look on his face: "Talk about martial arts
The hall was established by me, and I also established the rules, so I can naturally change it. Since he is very suitable to be the vice-principal of the martial arts hall, why not let him take the position a few years in advance."
"Of course, Yu Zhouwen will no longer be able to lead troops to fight in the future. He will always hold official positions in various yamen of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion. Or, he will go to the vassal state to serve as the king's prime minister."
"Since His Majesty has made his decision, shall I tell him?" Jin Chun regained his composure and said.
"No, there is no need to tell either of them. We will tell them after the school year ends at the end of the year." Yunxi said. Jin Chun agreed.
Yunxi picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, then lowered his head as if to think for a moment, and then mentioned the third purpose of coming to the martial arts hall today.
"I want you to add a course in the martial arts hall. It doesn't matter what the name is. The purpose is to cultivate the sense of honor among military officers."
"The primary responsibility of the Ming Dynasty National Defense Force is to help the Ming Dynasty officials and people block the invasion of foreign enemies. They are like chivalrous knights who protect the people from barbarians instead of bullying them."
The purpose of Yunxi was to first cultivate a sense of honor in the army. It not only promoted the development of society, but also consolidated the rule of the Ming Dynasty.
According to the experience of various countries in ancient and modern times, an army with a sense of honor is more effective than an army without a sense of honor, and can persist longer in the face of the most difficult environment.
At the same time, Yunxi planned to gradually divide the army into the National Defense Force and the garrison, similar to the difference between the People's Liberation Army and the Armed Police. The National Defense Force specializes in fighting foreign wars, including suppressing rebellions of other ethnic groups; the garrison suppresses domestic rebellions and eliminates bandits and bullies.
Of course, the sense of honor cannot be derived from just education. Soldiers also need to have a higher social status and be paid enough. For example, why do the soldiers in Laoliu Town of the Beiyang Army in modern times have a high sense of honor? On the one hand
The education is effective, and the salary is sufficient.
Yunxi also formulated other supporting measures and will also implement them step by step.
"Your Majesty, this year's courses have been decided. It may not be easy to add courses temporarily."
"And what exactly is the content of this course? Are you just giving empty lectures to the students all day long?" Jin Chun said. He knew that Yunxi was not a person who avoided medical treatment, so he dared to speak like this. If faced with some emperors, such a
I'm afraid I might lose my head if I talk.
Yunxi naturally didn't care. After thinking about it, he found that what they could say about this matter so far, and what they could hear, was the military merit and nobility system in the pre-Qin and early Han dynasties, and their ancestors' expulsion of the Tartars and restoration of China. The content was not sustainable.
Start a course.
"What suggestions do you have?" Yunxi asked.
"Your Majesty, I think it is better to add these contents to the history class instead of setting up a separate course. Anyway, that is the history class, so there is no harm in adding more contents." Jin Chun said.
Although what he said was unclear, Yunxi understood it clearly. He felt that what Jin Chun said made some sense, and said: "In that case, let's do it according to your words. I will write the textbook myself."
"And have the teachers' textbooks never changed over the years? This is not possible. We must keep pace with the times. Not to mention other things, the water battle against Majapahit and the land battle in Srivijaya the year before last.
There are some battles that were fought well and can be incorporated into teaching materials."
Yun Hei said a lot more, and Jin Chun agreed one by one. After Yun Hei finished giving all the instructions, he stood up and finally said: "You must carry out what I have ordered carefully and make no mistakes."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Jin Chun replied. But then he seemed to have endured it for a long time and finally couldn't help it, and asked: "Your Majesty, let the students of the Jiangwu Hall practice walking in unison and walking in step. It can really make the people feel
Does the new army look good?"
"You'll know when you see it in a few days," Yunxi said with a smile.
